Son of the Bone

In fact, when Jiang Jue heard about the art consultant, he imagined that it was the painter who helped make the scroll props.

He accompanied Loris all the way back, wondering all the way—there was already a special Chinese painting consultant in the crew, why did he need to hire a new painter.

However, Loris didn't take out a paintbrush until he saw Bai Ping.

On the contrary, he is constantly instructing the lighting team to move all light sources and light quality to places that are more suitable for the plot.

Originally, only Lin Jiuguang quietly observed this matter not far away, but the three of them watched it for a long time with blank expressions.

Movies are the art of light and shadow. In addition to the actors themselves having to have good acting skills and fit the characters, the simulation from the environment to the light source must be extraordinarily realistic.

The lighting in dramas and musicals is from a high place, and the light source is relatively single. Jiang Jue walked barefoot on the stage, and the light beam followed his steps in the same direction.

"The Gilded Key" is an indoor play. All the chandeliers and table lamps have been carefully designed for their positions and brightness. Qi Lin doesn't need to pay too much attention to those details, as long as he can perform his part smoothly.

Many scenes in "Dragon Blood Seal" are in the palace pavilions and semi-outdoor environments.

Natural light and artificial light can blend harmoniously, and it is not troublesome to deal with.

The trouble is with green screen movies like "Fairy Painting".

Of course, it is impossible for the director team to really build a palace floating in the clouds, but the actors in front of the green screen, in addition to the projection under the normal light source, also have to interact with complex light sources——

This is a whole new field.

The three heads gathered together and listened for a long time, but they were completely confused.

As soon as Loris met Bai Ping, she switched back to the most familiar Italian, speaking urgently and quickly.

The visual team next to it and director Bai kept nodding, and the translator explained briefly to other staff members.

They moved the kinoflo lights, and connected the flickermaster to the toucan-like light stand to confirm the different colors of the light and the transition between hard and soft light.

"Jiang Jue—" Bai Ping thought of something, and waved: "Come here, and Qi Lin, you two, Act Seven, Scene Four, come over for an audition!"

The two were called out suddenly, and they glanced at each other and hurried past without even changing their costumes.

In this scene, the two of them were walking in Ye Cang Ridge and saw fireflies all over the mountains and plains.

Yun Ye, who hadn't been in contact with the outside world for a long time, asked if a god had come over, and Xuan You, who was supporting him, said, no, this is the human world.

The ground has been simulated out of the radian of the slope, and there are not many places for realistic weed grass, with bare green cloth next to it.

Qi Linhui supported Jiang Jue, groping for a seat on the straw blanket, and speaking lines facing the entire green wall.

What the characters in the play actually see is the quiet night sky, the lone moon hanging high, and countless silent and quiet fireflies.

Loris read the script several times, frowning, and asked Bai Ping about his original filming preparations.

Bai Ping signaled the team to dim the lights in the studio to simulate a rough effect.

The moment the darkness came, Qi Lin and Jiang Jue were exposed to the twilight like candlelight.

In order for the audience to accept this logic, they designed a spell for Qi Lin, so that they can have a bird-like light to follow and illuminate the way forward when they are walking.

But in actual shooting, the lighting used in different situations is completely different.

In order to highlight their deep facial features and intense expressions, the strong light should cast a deep silhouette, and even the shadow of the nose should be particularly clear.

In order to ease the atmosphere and create a relaxing atmosphere, more than a dozen candles will be lit at different light source positions to make the light as diffuse and soft as possible.

"It's still not natural enough." Loris turned off the big shadow lights, motioned for the two of them to get up, and distanced the prop hillside from the green screen.

Since it is a firefly, it should be subtle and bright, while the light source should be scattered and floating.

The color should be between blue and green, and at the same time reflect their outline.

The two protagonists patiently accompanied them to repeatedly adjust the distance, and set up a shelf to hang down the light bulb to simulate the warm light emitted by the light spell.

Warm colors are the subject and can illuminate their expressions.

Then it gradually changes into the vast and boundless darkness, creating an atmosphere of fireflies.

Later, Loris led people to perfect the entire dimming console, which can simultaneously control more than 260 large and small far and near light sources, and remotely adjust their color and brightness.

When the machine was turned on, the immortals in robes and crowns were whispering, the young dragon was wearing a coir raincoat and sitting in a black boat to hide from the rain, Wu Zhu was surrounded by countless white pigeons, the director and photographer outside the camera were engrossed, and Loris took A group of people switch and manipulate the color and level changes of the light like a DJ.

A large number of staff gathered in the light and shadow studio to create a great work together.

Time is like the gurgling stream flowing to the distance after the rain, everything slows down.

They may take two or three days to finish shooting a scene, and then start polishing the next one non-stop.

Jiang Yanzhi finally came belatedly, and greeted Bai Ping with a generous kiss in front of the crowd.

After finishing her graduation exams, she was finally able to find time to come over and become an actress.

The next thing to shoot is the glazed banquet where the immortals gather.

Dong Jun, played by Jiang Yanxing, brewed Qionglu and took advantage of the season to get together with friends from far and near.

And Yun Ye, who had regained his spiritual power, broke into here regardless, and slaughtered several immortals like a god of evil. run away.

When it’s time to shoot a group scene, the scene is like a large-scale comic exhibition, with twenty or thirty leading and supporting actors wearing strange clothes, and finally there are many tables, chairs and bone discs on the set, which can give people specific references .

Jiang Jue didn't need to appear on camera.

The dragon was all done with special effects, everything from the eyes to the scales and feathers was done in post-production, and he just watched it outside the mirror.

All men, women and children put on flowing gauze gowns, and various group performers also appeared as maids and fairies.

The entire set is full of fiction and reality, with several bright chandeliers hanging on the top, several assistant directors are too busy to schedule, and are still adjusting various distances and placement of small props.

Jiang Yanzhi changed into a dark blue dress, her long hair was coiled up by hairpins, her thin eyebrows and thin lips were made up like an outsider.

Beside the embroidered couch she was leaning on, there was a jade bottle with a pretty green plum in it, and the small colored lantern that Loris put in was also hidden in it.

At the moment of shooting, it was like the beginning of a large-scale stage performance, and multiple photography teams began to follow the storyboard to find angles and distances at the same time.

Flying a drone equipped with a high-definition camera at high altitude to capture a sudden drop.

And the several-meter-high rocker swings slowly outside the camera, as if a giant is lowering its broad arms.

Four or five photographers backed up and dispersed at the same time, while two rows of fairies faced the camera Pingting forward.

The light began to change subtly, as if sensing the change of fairy energy.

The old man holds his head up to drink, the child hugs the rabbit and gnaws spring pancakes, the fairy caresses his palm and smiles, and the green lotus blooms and closes in the pond.

There are also cranes dancing with their necks crossed at the banquet, and the sound of gurgling water comes and goes from a distance.

The photography team began to pan and rotate counterclockwise, while dozens of actors laughed and cursed in slow motion, controlling every small movement.

Loris controlled more than a dozen values ​​on the dimming console at the same time, taking time to look at the little fairy Lin Jiuguang with his hair tied up.

Sitting at the banquet, holding the glass cup, he lowered his eyes and smiled, as if he didn't know anything.

The light source rendered this picture-like scene to the extreme, and with the background music played on the spot, it brought out the ink painting-like effect.

Immediately afterwards, the Dragon with Folded Horns roared and charged in with the clouds. The actors listened to the scheduling of each department, observed the guidance of the signal lights, and began to panic or cast spells or escape. Someone seemed to be chased, bitten, and sharp Crying to save his life.

And Lin Jiuguang stood up slowly, standing in the center of the story as if observing a picture scroll, silently watching everyone.

That dragon's long tail and sharp claws, even with a flick of its tail, there is a fierce air rushing in like a turbulent wave hitting the shore.

Dongjun frowned and cast a spell, trying to control the situation.

Jiang Jue hid from the camera, holding back his laughter with great difficulty.

There are no special effects or substitutes, it's almost like a mental hospital.

A group of people were chased by the air and screamed, and they all fell to the ground and fled away in fright, while my mother was chanting a spell on the air.

It was indeed very embarrassing.

At this moment, the blue signal light turned yellow, and Qi Lin rushed in hastily, trying to stop the angry and bloody dragon.

Ling Guangchu was cursed severely, and hit him hard. The staff controlling Wia in the distance exerted force at the same time, and Qi Lin was shot flying far away. After landing, he hit him several times in a row. Get lost, trying to reach out to stop Yun Ye even when he was not conscious, but he still vomited several mouthfuls of blood, and then passed out.

With a long howl, the invisible fierce dragon directly rolled up his body and flew away in a hurry.

Wia strained again, and Qi Lin was hoisted in the air like a sacrificial offering. The whole person had to pretend to sleep, close his eyes and bow his head, and then was taken out of the mirror by Wia like a truck unloading goods.

This shot went so smoothly that they called it a day six hours early.

Originally, the group play was very prone to troubles, but fortunately, even the group performances are online throughout the whole process, and everything is much better than expected.

Qi Lin was so strangled that he felt like coughing, so he tried his best to close his eyes and pretend to be unconscious all the way, and he didn't cough until he was put on the ground.

Jiang Jue helped him unbutton the belt around his waist, and was about to take the assistant's water and let him rinse his mouth to dispel the smell of the blood bag.

Suddenly the lights on the ceiling flickered a few times, and then all went dark.

The entire studio was plunged into darkness for an instant, and someone started screaming.

"Don't be noisy!" Someone yelled, then turned on the mobile phone to find a flashlight, and then called the nearby management personnel.

The entire city of Zhuqian was cut off.

Not to mention the film shed area, even if you go back to the hotel, you can't take the elevator upstairs to rest.

Bai Ping ordered the assistant directors to evacuate the staff and extra performers, and hurried over to check their safety.

Ever since Jiangyin next door began to develop a large-scale industrial zone, there always seemed to be problems with the power supply here, probably due to scheduling problems.

"Since we can't continue filming, there seems to be nothing else to do when we go back to the hotel..." Bai Ping looked at them with a headache and said, "Where do you want to go now?"

Qi Lin blinked, and suddenly had a bold idea.

"How about we light a candle and start telling ghost stories?"
