People are running for men, and Bai Mengyan is crying at the beginning

No wonder Chen Musheng was surprised, Xiang Long designed this lens and it almost perfectly achieved the effect he wanted!

In this split-shot script, Xiang Long used the display of light and shadow, the change of sound, and the transformation of depth of field…

It can be said that all the basic skills a director can master are displayed.

The key is,

Through this lens, the effect of not making the audience laugh out loud can be perfectly achieved, but at the same time giving the audience a hint to let them know that Cheng Long will finally have the upper hand.

It is no exaggeration to say that if Chen Musheng were only shown this storyboard without telling who drew it, he would definitely think that it was written by a senior in some circle and would have no connection with Xiang Long at all.

“You can even direct?”

Cheng Long also looked at Xiang Long in surprise.

He has been in the entertainment industry for decades and has seen all kinds of people, but Xiang Long still breaks his impression time and time again.

I can write songs, act, screenwriter… Now I can even direct. Is this cheating?

Looking at the shocked two people, Xiang Long smiled modestly:

“Actually, I only know a few hundred million points.”

Before, Cheng Long and Chen Musheng might have believed Xiang Long’s words, but now, they only felt that Xiang Long was pretending to be cool, and he was also acting arrogantly, not mellow at all.

“Okay, now that I have your storyboard, I won’t stop thinking about it and just do it according to your plan!”

Chen Musheng said with some self-deprecation and some unexplained jealousy: “You will even be the director of this scene.”

Comparing people with others will lead to death, and comparing goods with goods will lead to throwing away.

Looking at the young and handsome Xiang Long, he suddenly had the illusion that he had been living in a dog’s body for the past few decades.

Xiang Long naturally noticed Chen Musheng’s emotions and hurriedly said:

“No, Director Chen, I just drew it casually. The final decision depends on you.”

Cheng Long also advised:

“Mu Sheng, you know how important this scene is, so don’t joke about it.”

Chen Musheng shook his head and said, “No, I’m not joking, I’m serious.”

After speaking, without waiting for Cheng Long to speak, he continued:

“You are not a professional director, so you may not be able to see the truth behind it. Let’s put it this way, Xiang Long can draw this storyboard, which shows that his attainments in the director’s profession are completely enough to reach the first-class level!”

First class! ?

Cheng Long looked at Chen Musheng in surprise.

He never expected that this storyboard would be so highly praised by Chen Musheng.

“You will understand after I explain it to you.”

Chen Musheng glanced at Xiang Long with a complicated expression, then pointed to the storyboard in his hand and said:

“Look, at the beginning, the camera gave a medium shot, including you and Xiang Long. Note that the sun is setting in the west at this time. Pay attention, the light on your side is relatively sufficient, and Xiang Long’s The sides are a little dark, which is not only used to express the positions of the two of you, but also to prepare for the lighting arrangement behind.”

“Then, as the two of you were talking, the camera kept switching perspectives. If you look carefully, you will find that every time the camera zooms in on you, it is a close-up, and when it comes to Xiang Long, it is a close-up. It’s a close-up that almost takes up the entire screen. What does this mean? It means Xiang Long is oppressing you!”

“But soon, as the two of you talked, there were fewer and fewer close-ups of Xiang Long, giving people a lighter and lighter sense of oppression, and a lower and lower threat. At this time, although the situation has not changed, the audience’s mood has. You will slowly relax.”

“Go to the back, did you see the empty shot of the vase? The sun is setting even harder in the west, and at this time, I will give you two a medium shot. Did you notice? Xiang Long, who originally occupied most of the screen in darkness, is completely dark because of the sun’s rays. The dark areas are getting smaller and smaller, and the light behind you is getting stronger.”

“In the end, when Xiang Long left, you were almost completely standing in the light, but Xiang Long was like a mouse crossing the street, hurriedly entering the last dark corner of the shot——”

“Let me ask you, if you were the audience, who would you think has the advantage at this time?”

After listening to Chen Musheng’s explanation, Cheng Long was stunned.

He didn’t expect that just a few changes in shots would hide so many details.

More importantly,

This was actually drawn by Xiang Long in just a few minutes!

“No wonder Musheng asked you what else you don’t know just now,”

Cheng Long patted Xiang Long on the shoulder with emotion: “Xiaolong, you are really the most talented artist I have ever seen!”

Chen Musheng also nodded with a complicated expression.

…

that’s all,

When the scene was officially shot two days later, the crew was surprised to find that the director, Chen Musheng, was not sitting behind the monitor, but had been standing nearby.

Observe silently.

Instead, the person in charge of the scene was Xiang Long!

“what happened?”

“What’s going on here?”

“Why did Director Chen give the guide tube to Xiang Long?”

“Is this a joke?”

“Brother Cheng Long doesn’t seem to object?”

Seeing this scene, there was a lot of discussion at the scene.

Chen Musheng opened his mouth at the right time and said:

“The director of today’s scene is Xiang Long. Everyone must follow Xiang Long’s instructions later. If anyone dares to neglect, don’t blame me for not caring about our feelings!”

Wow!

Everyone was even more surprised when they heard Chen Musheng’s words.

Xiang Long as director?

What a joke!

You must know that this scene is the top priority of the entire movie, and there is no room for any mistakes.

“Director Chen, do you want to think about it again?”

Someone whispered to Chen Musheng: “Everyone knows Xiang Long’s talent, but that is in acting and screenwriting. He can’t be a director!”

“How come he can’t?”

Chen Musheng glared at the other person: “The storyboards you see were drawn by him!”

What?

The other person opened his eyes wide and was speechless.

When he got the storyboard drawings before, he was wondering why Chen Musheng’s painting style had changed, but he thought it was because the storyboard artist had changed and didn’t think much about it. Unexpectedly, it was Xiang Long who drew it.

After knowing this, the other party said no more.

at the same time,

Xiang Long, who was sitting behind the monitor, was also a little excited.

After all, this is the director position of a crew that has invested hundreds of millions!

Even if there are only a few shots, it is a very precious experience for him.

Fortunately, he has proficient directing skills and a big heart, so he doesn’t panic at all when he takes over temporarily.

He took the intercom, coughed lightly, and started asking various departments:

“Lighting, how are the ceiling lights prepared? Are there any problems?”

“Receive the sound, please pay attention to the microphone later!”

“Camera, remember to find the focus when taking pictures of Brother Long…”

“Props, whose cell phone is on the table? Take it away quickly?”

As Xiang Long’s methodical voice continued to come from the intercom,

The whole crew was shocked to find that he had actually sorted everything out!

There is no strangeness or timidity of a new director at all.

It’s as if he has been in the director’s position for decades.

Everyone fell silent as they looked at the handsome young face sitting behind the monitor, holding a phone and giving orders.

Could it be,

Are there really geniuses in this world?
