The camera at this time was angular, but its biggest feature and change was its ability to move and shoot, thanks to the Lumiere brothers.
They changed the history of cameras.
Zhao Chuanxin looked at the camera and felt that it was not as big as the cameras of later generations.
He once went to the studio and visited the filming of the movie.
Today’s movie shooting only has one shot, which is similar to the long shots of later generations.
Li Guangzong was afraid of damage, so he bought two cameras at once.
Zhao Chuanxin saw Herbert Ponting playing with the machine and said, "Take out the other one as well and shoot the two cameras at the same time. There must be split shots."
At this time, there was no editing at all in the movies, let alone any film language.
Movies are more like a realistic note-taking tool.
Herbert Ponting stupidly asked "What are the shots?"
Zhao Chuanxin saw that he really didn't understand, and explained, "The shots are different camera positions, from different angles." Shoot at different angles.
Cut out the bad and useless parts and keep the good ones and combine them together. Make the story of the entire film smooth and highlight the theme of the story."
This is common sense that everyone in the future can understand. After all, I have never made a movie and haven't seen it yet. There are very few long shots in the film.
Especially in the traffic era, the acting skills have been countless times, and they are not worthy of the word "traffic". Those who can take on long shots are all very good actors.
But in the movie at this time, there is no such thing as a shot.
After hearing this, Herbert Ponting's eyes widened, and his heart was filled with huge waves, "Zhao, you are such a fucking genius."
Zhao Chuanxin said in his heart, I haven’t taught you what montage is yet.
"Stop fucking nonsense, everyone knows that I am a genius, you don't need to say it. Get to work quickly."
""
Herbert Ponting actually only touched the camera, but never shot it seriously.
He just plays photography.
The first time I took the photo, I was also very excited.
But after all, he has no experience, and the concept of "crew" has not yet been formed in his mind.
As a result, Zhao Chuanxin had to take on the "heavy responsibility" of drama management.
"Cui Fenghua, go and call everyone here and start setting up the scene."
Cui Fenghua is the person sent by Liu Yonghe to run errands for Zhao Chuanxin.
The names are pretty, but the people are ugly.
But things will happen, and you have the foresight.
A group of actors took their places, and Zhao Chuanxin began to direct.
Herbert Ponting is not so much a director as he is a cameraman.
He approached Zhao Chuanxin with dissatisfaction and said, "Zhao, you are using this lens incorrectly. Look at this picture.", unable to highlight the key points, the Japanese must be in the center of the picture. Let me put it this way, let me show you some photos I took and you will understand the picture. ”
As he spoke, he took out a photo.
The photo showed a tall tower. Anyone who knows a little bit about France will be familiar with this tower.
Herbert Ponting pointed to the Iron Tower and asked proudly, "Zhao, do you recognize it?"
Zhao Chuanxin nodded, "Yes, this is the Leifeng Tower in France." "
""
Zhao Chuanxin said impatiently, "You know composition, but not much." What kind of thing did you take pictures of the Eiffel Tower? You only took half of it. If it were me, I would zoom out and include all the low buildings, so as to show how tall and majestic the tower is. ”
The Eiffel Tower was completed in 1889 and was the tallest building in the world at the time.
If you want to use the Eiffel Tower to show off, you must naturally show the characteristics of the tallest building. .
I thought Zhao Chuanxin was a stick, but when he mentioned the Eiffel Tower, Herbert Ponting stopped pretending.
After hearing what Zhao Chuanxin said, When he thought about it, it really was like that.
He couldn't help but scratch his head. Could it be that all his photography over the years had been in vain?
How could he let amateurs compete with him?
He asked nonchalantly, "Tell me, how should we compose the film?"
Zhao Chuanxin took out a pen and paper and sketched out a simple human shape with just a few strokes. One person is holding a samurai sword and slashing at the woman on the ground.
The woman on the ground is in the center of the frame, and the Japanese is slightly to the right. >
Not being stuck in the center is the best way to highlight the center.
In addition, according to the principle of the golden section, this layout is also the most comfortable.
Herbert Ponting saw that Zhao Chuanxin drew a simple picture casually. Although it was simple, his skill was not simple.
He couldn't help but be surprised and said, "Zhao, you can actually draw."
“Look at what you said, astronomy, geography, humanities, you should ask me what I don’t know. Do you understand Xuefu Wuche?"
""
Zhao Chuanxin drew another picture, this time it was a split shot.
This time, the Japanese The close-up, the ferocious and cruel expression on the face is lifelike.
Herbert Ponting was amazed when he saw it, "Zhao, I have to say, you are really a genius. Even if you become a general, don't do business or make movies, just being a painter is more than enough. ”
The two discussed for a while, and Zhao Chuanxin drew a few more shots.
Finally, they decided to only shoot a short short film.
In the short film , a Japanese man did something abominable to a Korean woman
Of course, some scenes were expressed in a unique way
Herbert Ponting high-fived." alright, I know how to take pictures, just wait and see, I guarantee you will be satisfied. ”
Then he went to direct a group of actors.
Zhao Chuanxin moved a small mazaar and sat there watching.
Ganfan came running from a distance , called Zhao Chuanxin twice.
Zhao Chuanxin said speechlessly, "Jingjing, they went to mate and lay eggs. Why are you angry? Isn't this instinct? Spring is here, and it's mating season again." "
"Woof woof woof"
"What you said is wrong. You are not an ordinary dog. Just like the water pony, I think even if it has fur on it, it won't be as good as yours. Just because you can control your desires doesn't mean a crow can too. ”
“”
All the crow boys who were doing the work have gone away.
This makes it very sad.
After all, filming a movie It's not that simple.
Herbert Ponting was originally very ambitious, but after working for a long time, he didn't take any shots. .
But Zhao Chuanxin is not willing to help. Is he worthy of being his translator in the future?
Herbert Ponting, sweating profusely, came to Zhao Chuanxin's small table. Then, he picked up the tea bowl and started working hard: "Zhao, shooting a movie is more difficult than I thought. ”
“Everything is difficult at the beginning. "Zhao Chuanxin comforted. "Then it's difficult in the middle, and it's difficult at the end. "
Herbert Ponting spit out a mouthful of tea.
Wiped his mouth and said dissatisfied, "Don't just watch, help too." Look at the lady on the court, I think she is too slick and I can't even control her. ”
The lady he was talking about was a woman from a South Korean farmer’s family who had crossed the border.
Zhao Chuanxin said in his heart that he didn’t know what to do with it. If you make such a heavy-flavored film, how can a good person do it? Do you want to be the heroine?
Seeing that the sun was almost setting, Zhao Chuanxin sighed, got up and walked towards the field.
Hey, with great power comes great responsibility. It's not a good thing to be too talented.
This girl's face is dirty, her clothes are tattered, and her hair is messy.
She really does look like Herbert. Pang Ting looked a little naughty and generous as he said it.
She was not afraid when she saw Zhao Chuanxin standing in front of him, but instead gave him a wink. < /p>
I am afraid that this is not being ruined by the kid, but maybe he is hooking up with the kid
Zhao Chuanxin touched his chin, feeling that if it was so ordinary, the impact would not be enough.
p>
Looking carefully, he found that this Korean woman was actually pretty good-looking.
His eyes lit up and he said to her, "As long as you understand Chinese, you can go and wash her." Wash your face and hair, and I'll give you some tips when you get back. "
This woman obviously misunderstood when she heard that Zhao Chuanxin wanted to give her advice.
In her opinion, Zhao Chuanxin was the biggest among those present.
She got a huge salary for acting in this drama, and it was Zhao Chuan's salary.promised.
Then Zhao Chuanxin is a big guy, so he can be a close friend.
So, she quickly got up and ran to wash up.
Herbert Ponting frowned, "Zhao, if you let her clean up like this, she will no longer have the characteristics of a poor person."
"No" Zhao Chuanxin laughed " On the contrary, I want to create an effect for her. Clothes and hairpins cannot hide her national beauty. I want her to become the kind of poor woman who wears patched clothes but has beautiful national beauty. In this way, she will be more attractive. Angry."
After the woman came back from washing her hair, many of the bachelors present began to slobber.
Zhao Chuanxin took a look and thought, oh, she looks a bit coquettish and bitch.
The woman looked at Zhao Chuanxin expectantly, waiting for him to make some excessive demands.
Zhao Chuanxin pointed at the stool next to him in an exaggerated manner, "Go over and sit down."
Woman ""
That's it
When she went over and sat down, Zhao Chuanxin suddenly had scissors and a comb in his hand.
He asked "What's your name?"
"Zhang Chaoyue."
"Zhang Chaoyue, I'll give you a hairstyle and a set of clothes. I'll give you a set of clothes in a while." You obey the command and do whatever you are told. Don't play tricks with me, or I will kill you."
The kind of flirting and affection that Zhang Chaoyue imagined did not exist.
When Zhao Chuanxin opened his mouth, he looked like a straight man.
She glanced back at Zhao Chuanxin with resentment.
Zhao Chuanxin shouted, "Turn around and sit down."
The murderous aura of the rooftop war god was revealed, and that was no joke.
Zhang Chaoyue tensed up and hurriedly sat down obediently, as there was nothing slippery about.
Herbert Ponting next to him looked thoughtful, as if he knew how to direct the actors on the set in the future.
After Zhao Chuanxin finished cutting her hair, he tied it up with a Korean characteristic colorful hair tie and let it hang down long.
Zhao Chuanxin said, "Tie it loosely so that it will show an effect when you take pictures. When the Japanese arrest you, the hairband will fall off and your hair will spread out."
With the help of Zhao Chuanxin, Herbert Ponting restarted.
In Longjing Village, after being disgraced, Saito Kijiro and Shinoda Haruse even felt ashamed to meet each other.
I feel awkward when we meet.
But we have to meet again because we still have to talk about things.
Kijiro Saito awkwardly asked Haruse Shinoda, "Shinoda-kun, you have to falsify Zhao Chuanxin in the newspaper. What do you think about this matter?"
Haruse Shinoda Seriously to cover up the embarrassment after being humiliated, he said sternly, "Saito-kun, there is no need to worry about this matter. First of all, it is impossible for Zhao Chuanxin to publish any news that is not beneficial to us in Korean newspapers. Secondly, we are ready to clarify at any time." , We are not afraid of his slander. For us, South Korea has local advantages.”
If it were someone else, Saito Kijiro.I'm really not worried.
But Zhao Chuanxin is different, this person is too reckless.
You can't guess what he will do next.
Moreover, his whereabouts fluctuated east and west, often acting alone in private, and even spies could not find him.
There are indeed many spies in Japan, but the large number and complexity of them also means that the management system is chaotic.
For example, Naoko Yuka was originally active in the Nanyang area, but now she has come to the north. Neither Saito Kijiro nor Shinoda Harisa are aware of it.
In addition to system chaos, there is also poor communication that leads to this situation.
As for the matter of Zhao Chuanxin, the two of them had a brief taste of it. Saito Kijiro changed the topic and said, "Shinoda-kun, Ronaldo from the United States talked to reporters about our naval battle of Tsushima. Have you read it in the newspaper?" "
"I have seen it. Da Luo is a qualified strategist. He has already understood the importance of naval warfare. He said that our Japanese army is jealous, allergic, and very warlike. He is worried that we will seize Hawaii and the Philippines from the United States. The underlying meaning is that we have become our opponents."
At this time, Japan and the United Kingdom were getting closer. The relationship is somewhat cold.
The topic changed very well, and the two of them no longer felt awkward.
Kijiro Saito nodded, "Those remarks about jealousy and allergies are completely slanderous. Like Zhao Chuanxin, they are despicable and shameless villains. However, I heard that the United States is preparing 16 battleships and even made plans to fight our empire."
"The United States just wants to put pressure on us, not really want to go to war."
"I hope so. "Kijiro Saito suddenly thought of something. "By the way, Mr. Rimoto, have you been invited to the banquet?"
"Yes, I received the invitation. I will take Yuka with me."
Said Naoko Yuka, perhaps the only person who could make Shinoda Haruse happy today, couldn't help but have a happy smile on her face.
Kijiro Saito frowned slightly, and reminded the scenery: "Shinoda-kun, have you sent a letter to your home recently?"
He did not mention his wife and children, but he sent Naturally, the letter was mailed to my family, which was a secret reminder.
Shinoda Haruse’s face showed some displeasure.
What he least wants to mention, and what he doesn’t even want to think about, is his wife and children in Japan.
So he said, "Saito-kun, those are just trivial matters.
You know, the banquet at the Limoto Palace was attended not only by the Emperor of Korea, Lee Hee, but also by Governor Ito and Commander Hasegawa.
I think the top priority is to confirm the Shimajima Police Station before going to the banquet. It is time to start construction.
When the time comes, we will start the work. The good news was told to them in front of Li Xi, which would be beneficial to their plans for South Korea."
Kijiro Saito thought about the scene and felt terrible.A day of performance in front of his superiors made him look forward to it. "Shinoda-kun, you are right."
Bypassing the topic that he was unwilling to mention, Shinoda Haruse finally smiled.
The filming of Zhao Chuanxin’s short film is in full swing.
Herbert Ponting used split shots for his first filming.
He feels that his movie may go down in history.
It was the actor’s first time acting in a movie and he received a relatively generous salary, which was quite exciting.
Both Xiaoshuai and Xiaomei have the same idea, but this thing can actually make money
How long will it take to act in a short film?
For example, playing the role of Xiaoshuai The beautiful Zhang Chaoyue got one dollar in just one and a half days.
The speed of making money is catching up with robbery.
She couldn't help but wonder, if she shoots ten movies a month, wouldn't it be easy to earn ten yuan a month? This is much better than farming.
So, after her role was completed, she approached Zhao Chuanxin and asked, "Mr. Zhao, can I continue to make movies?"
Zhao Chuanxin glanced at her, "Yes, but you My acting skills need to be improved. I will look for you again when I have new movies.”
Making a movie is quite new for Zhao Chuanxin.
In fact, he is interested in anything that can leave some trace in history.
Zhang Chaoyue was overjoyed, "Thank you, Mr. Zhao."
"Well, let's go home first after taking the money."
Then, Zhao Chuanxin went to find Herbert Ponting, went to edit the film.
Herbert Ponting's filmmaking skills need to be improved, but he is very good at editing films.
Perhaps this has something to do with the fact that he has been playing photography before and is very familiar with film.
Seeing Zhao Chuanxin come in, he raised his head excitedly and said, "Zhao, the split shot is so easy to use. I have never seen such a wonderful movie. Especially, after editing, it formed a unique movie Language. You see, this close-up shot of the Japanese soldier’s face fully illustrates his ferocity.”
Listening to his talk, Zhao Chuanxin moved farther away to avoid spitting on his face. superior.
"Be careful, don't damage the film, it's quite expensive."
"Zhao, I can get it done today, and it can be shown tomorrow. I guarantee it will satisfy the audience." The movie maker couldn't help himself. "
"Okay, I'm just here to check the progress. If you continue, I won't disturb you."
Cui Fenghua walked out of the editing room. Several people came in a hurry carrying thick newspapers.
"Captain Zhao, the newspapers you want have been printed and are all here."
As he said that, he piled the newspapers on the horse.
Zhao Chuanxin picked up one and looked at it.
This newspaper is very interesting. It is more like a leaflet than a newspaper.
There is nothing else on it, only the story of how the Japanese tortured and massacred Korean people.
Text, first write in Chinese characters, and then use proverbs.
Although South Korea created proverbs early in its history, the official language has always used Chinese characters.
So, in order to be able to understand and become officials, the common people also learned Chinese characters.
A few years ago, there was a period of time when Korean proverbs were revived, but then nothing happened. Nowadays, Chinese characters are still popular in the upper class society.
But there are always people who only recognize proverbs but not Chinese characters.
So Zhao Chuanxin was very considerate and wrote both kinds of words, lest one person could not understand it.
There are also photos and paintings by Zhao Chuanxin in the newspapers, all of which accuse the Japanese of "atrocities" like animals.
Anyway, the Japanese have done some fucking things in Korea. Korean people are actually very resistant to Japanese rule.
So the people will probably be happy to accept a little smear campaign. Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
