Although digital cameras were already available in early 2004, the quality of film is unmatched by digital.
This is because when film is enlarged and projected onto the screen, the layering, color saturation, light and shadow, and clarity are all very good, while digital is generally inferior.
More importantly, the cost of using film is relatively low, which is the underlying reason why any director would prefer film.
At the end of the whole day, all the actors, especially the martial artists, sat slumped in a heap, and just as Liu Qingshan predicted yesterday, work didn't end until ten o'clock in the evening.
Liu Qingshan did not rest, but sat around the small conference room to attend the director's daily filming summary.
He doesn't speak in the plot, and will only get involved when it's about the martial arts scenes.
As expected, the day's shoot was met with praise from all members of the directing team.
Although these people are not from martial arts backgrounds, they all have good judgments because they have been exposed to many similar plays.
Especially Zhang Beard, he is not only a martial arts enthusiast, but also a top figure in domestic martial arts dramas. His judging standards are almost rigid standards in the entertainment industry.
But even his tone tonight was quite kind: "I have to admit that the action team led by Shanzi gave me a huge surprise. The novelty of the martial arts effects and the smoothness of the process are the only ones I have seen in my life."
No one thought there was anything wrong with what he said. Everyone was paying attention to the situation at the scene, especially with the comparison with the previous Xiangjiang Martial Arts. They really opened their eyes today.
Everyone who participated in the close-ups of the martial arts scenes was able to use the long and short of movement and stillness, skillfully fight hard, and the moves were vigorous and simple, compact and coherent, and even outsiders could see the excellence of it.
Especially in the scenes involving Guo Jing, Liu Qingshan's performance is even more outstanding. Just those flashing jumps and leaps that can be done in one go without mobilizing wires are enough to shock everyone.
Such an astonishing scene is honestly recorded by the camera. At this time, repeated viewing frame by frame will have an even more horrifying effect.
"I even wanted to change every scene to slow motion, but it's a pity that it's an idiotic act that seriously violates the plot. No one would really do that!"
Zhang Bearded's words caused laughter in the audience.
Adding slow motion and close-ups at the most critical and intense moments of a fight is a common technique in any film or television drama.
Every move of the character is enlarged in slow motion, and the shot of sweat swaying in the air can be clearly seen, which can bring a strong visual impact and shock to the audience.
Moreover, it can also prominently show the heroism of the positive characters and the consequences of the punishment of the bad guys, highlighting the image of the characters.
However, this relatively simple slow-motion processing method is gradually used less and less in today's action movies, and is replaced by new processing methods.
That is to gracefully transform violent movements, turning fighting movements into dance, and turning slow motion into a gorgeous accompaniment.
The martial arts movements involved in Liu Qingshan make the bloody and violent martial arts movements more poetic, using the soft and harmonious movements in martial arts to downplay the bloody violence and highlight the beauty of the movements.
He didn't take the praise of the directing team seriously. In his mind, it was just a stage of fame accumulation for him to earn a living.
"As long as the directing team is satisfied, it's all our own. Let me tell you the truth. This is the first time that Uncle Ping's team has entrusted Xiangjiang Martial Arts to undertake the action design of a large crew, so their serious attitude will only be from beginning to end. , otherwise we will never have such an opportunity again in the future.”
Of course everyone can hear the implication of his words, that is, when the filming of his scenes is completed, the current action team is fully capable of the next task.
"Even if this is the case, you can't just let it go. You have to help Uncle Ping teach some good players. Don't worry, if our cooperation is happy this time, there will be a steady stream of resources announced to come to your door."
This time it was Ge Daquan who spoke. As the largest investor, he had the strength to promise something.
Liu Qingshan nodded in agreement, "These people will also be my greatest help in the future. Don't worry, Director Ge, they can't be hidden!"
"That's great! After the first day of shooting, I am looking forward to the possibility that this version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" will surpass the classic."
Liu Qingshan smiled noncommittally, but he didn't think so in his heart. At least he didn't have enough confidence in Huang Yiming, who played Yang Guo.
But he wouldn't be stupid enough to say it. After all, there were extremely complicated reasons behind the casting.
"Liu Xiaofei showed off her skills today. I think her innocent appearance is even better than the previous version..."
Seeing that he had nothing to do with him anymore, Liu Qingshan found an excuse and left decisively.
As soon as he returned to his residence, Shi Hui handed over his cell phone: "Sister Xishan has called me several times. She said she was waiting for you to come back and call her back as soon as possible!"
Liu Qingshan dialed the phone, and Jin Xishan's sweet voice sounded over there: "Director Kan agreed to keep the appointment, but you delayed it until almost midnight on the first day. How did you determine the time?"
"We have to take it one step at a time. Maybe it will take three or two days before Director Zhang will show some kindness."
"Is this how I reply to people?"
"Of course not. You can use Ge Daquan as an excuse. Director Ge is a big shot that any crew wants to fawn over. In fact, he really owes me a meal!"
"You mean you want to invite Director Ge over then?"
"Well, wouldn't Director Kan gain more face in this way? And through Director Ge's words, it will be easier to apply in the evening."
"Then I replied like this, well, if Director Ge is willing to go, Director Kan will be really happy!"
"Sister Huizhen and the two of you have already left by plane?"
"It's already here, and the first round of negotiations is over. We may get concrete results tomorrow!"
"Negotiation? Just for your contract extension?"
"I don't have that much value. Just because of the invitation from National Television, those actors are not only involved in MCC Company, but they have received temporary program notices, and they are not allowed to properly arrange their current announcement issues?"
"How many more rounds will this take?"
"What do you think? Take Zhang Ruixi as an example. She is now on the set of "Love Letter". She spent a lot of effort to get this announcement. How could she expect others to give up."
"'Love Letter'? Variety show?"
"Yes, it is currently the most popular indoor variety show. It is known as a fashion maker in our cold country, and its popularity is frighteningly high!"
Liu Qingshan noticed this problem extremely sensitively, because there were a lot of money related to variety shows in his Super Star Maker Mall.
"Sister Xishan, what do you think of China's variety shows? I will plan a column in the future, do you want to participate?"
"Do you still know about column planning? Of course I want to participate. It should be our company's first project, right? But I don't know about your TV programs here. I only know that there is a hyped one called "Super Girl" during this period. It’s pretty hot.”
With something on his mind, Liu Qingshan was eager to learn more and hurriedly hung up the phone.
