Chapter 71 No One Understands Montage Better Than Me

Aerial cableway site!

"Make way, make way, don't crowd, please watch your step, you can watch, but please don't affect the crew's filming!"

The stagehands were holding loud speakers and maintaining order at the outdoor filming locations.

"It's Wang Xiansheng, look quickly, isn't that the perverted Wang Xiansheng next to the director?"

"Shen Lang, look here, it's us Hei'er!"

……

Ning said with a smile: "Teacher Shen, you are really the one with great appeal. There are so many people from the entire crew, but you are the only assistant director who is well-known by everyone!"

Shen Lang was speechless. This was not something worth celebrating.

I don't know how the news leaked out, but so many people came to the first outdoor scene of the crew, and most of them came to see him.

Don't get me wrong, Shen Lang knows himself well. He is not a traffic star, and no one is clamoring or screaming to force him to have a baby.

He doesn't have this treatment.

As for which group these movie fans belong to, you will find out when you turn around.

Shen Lang turned around, waved his hand and greeted them.

A group of fans made gun gestures with their hands, "Da da da..."

Then he turned around and said, "Teacher Shen, you must study foreign languages ​​well!"

Three turns around, what's going on? You, where did you buy the same mask as Laolu?

Props from the production crew: "Teacher Shen, you don't know yet? Your Batman mask is a best seller in C-Man Store right now!"

Black fans, definitely a bunch of black fans.

Shen Lang said with a dark face: "Director, please don't affect the filming. The actors and cameramen have already boarded the cable car. We'll see the results after they come back. Today we'll cut out this section to see the effect."

It turned out that in order to dispel Han Ping and Ning Hao's concerns and boost the confidence of the crew, Shen Lang proposed that the play be shot in segments, with each segment being edited and followed by post-production.

When he first put forward this suggestion, he thought it would be questioned.

Unexpectedly, his suggestion was highly recognized by Ning Hao and screenwriter Peng Mo.

"Teacher Shen, I didn't expect you to be good at filming. I always thought you were just a good actor!"

"I didn't expect you to have such a deep understanding of the structure of movies!" Peng Mo said with admiration.

Shen Lang: "?"

No, is there some misunderstanding here?
He just wanted to divide the film into segments and let the director team see the results of their hard work, thereby increasing everyone's enthusiasm for filming.

But when it comes to Peng Mo's mouth, how does it become an understanding of the structure of the film?

As soon as Peng Mo finished speaking, Ning Hao continued to praise him, "After I graduated from the directing department, I have been thinking about how movies should be narrated. Over the years, I have summarized two narrative techniques for movies, namely linear narrative and non-linear narrative!"

"As for Mr. Peng's script, I would classify it as a "multi-line narrative" within a linear narrative."

Upon hearing this, Peng Mo nodded repeatedly, feeling quite excited that having just one true friend in life is enough.

Shen Lang, well, he was familiar with every word Ning Hao said, but when they were put together he was confused.

What are linear, nonlinear and multilinear?
"Mr. Peng's script is not a traditional narrative mode, which spends a lot of time explaining the background plot. Instead, it tells the story from multiple perspectives."

"When I read the script, I thought about it and found three main clues. One is the security department headed by Bao Shihong, one is the three thieves Dao Ge, Hei Pi and Xiao Jun, and the other is Mike, the international thief sent by Feng Dong to steal the jade."

"It can be said that other movies have so many clues, and they must be told in a leisurely manner. They are narrated one by one according to the timeline!"

“But this script, in the early stage, seems to have multiple lines going forward in parallel, which is very boring, but it gives the audience some connections between them, leaving suspense, and only at the end of the story do the lines connect together, making everyone suddenly realize that what happened before is finally explained here!”

Shen Lang woke up from his dream when he heard this and said, "Montage!"

Ning Hao slapped his thigh and said, "I told you that Mr. Shen knows a lot about film shooting. I've been talking so much, but he explained it in just three words!"

Shen Lang's old face turned red, and he thought, you have written the answer on your face, if I still don't know it, won't I be a waste?

Ning Hao sighed: "Teacher Shen knows montage, so I said that Teacher Shen's suggestion is really great." "We shoot the fragmented clips separately, and then shoot the links that connect each clip. When they are connected together, we can show the same thing from different angles and characters. Wouldn't the movie be much more vivid if it was shot this way?"

"Great! Teacher Shen's suggestion is good. Director Ning, I still have a lot to learn from you!" Peng Mo was convinced and nodded repeatedly.

At this time, the cable car that was filmed came back.

As soon as the cable car door opened, the fat boy Wang Zhuo said to Shen Lang with a coquettish look on his face: "I thought acting was so difficult? It's very simple!"

Shen Lang didn't expect that Wang Zhuo's first acting experience would go so smoothly.

At this time, a few ladies got off the cable car and quickened their pace as they passed by Wang Zhuo with a look of contempt on their faces.

"rogue!"

"Hanging around with Wang Xiansheng, they are really a bunch of rotten wood..."

Shen Lang's face darkened when he heard the ladies' whispers: "What happened on the cable car?"

Wang Zhuo looked confused: "What's going on? What could it be? Acting!"

At this time, Xu Qing, who came down last, came to Shen Lang angrily: "Brother, your friend is acting like a mouse trap the whole time. He can't get off once he gets on me..."

Damn, Shen Lang exploded. That’s right, netizens joked that they wanted to become Shen Lang, but you are actually surpassing Shen Lang.

……

After a day of filming, everyone came to the rented studio in the evening. Ning Hao, Shen Lang and Peng Mo called the post-production team to start dubbing and editing.

"Teacher Shen, Teacher Peng and I both agree with your ideas on this paragraph! I'll leave this to you for the time being!" Ning Hao made a gesture of invitation with both hands.

Shen Lang didn't waste any words. He put on his headphones and said to the staff and Wang Zhuo:
"Here, first we'll add a bird's-eye view of the entire city, and then we'll add the dubbing..."

"Yes, Wang Zhuo, you need to be gentle and recite it like a prose poem!"

"Fuck, slow down, are you yelling during military training?"

"Yes, yes, good, slower... OK!"

"The next part is where you flirt with Jingjing. Be careful, you need to be earthy and flirty, don't be too high-class!"

"Hey, boy, hold back on your frivolity. You're just the right amount of rustic. Yes, keep it up...keep it up...very good!"

Cutting...

After a while, this demo was officially released.

Everyone stared at the screen.

With piano music playing, the camera overlooks the beautiful scenery of the mountain city...

At this time, the narration began...

"God is so unfair to me. I take the cable car across the river every day, but I have never seen you. Maybe I am too focused on the scenery of this city!"

“Who called me a photographer?”

The scene switched, and Wang Zhuo was wearing a flashy hat on his chubby head and a pair of small black-framed glasses on his nose that didn't match his face shape at all!

"Oh, my name is Xie Xiaomeng, just call me Charles!"

Xie Xiaomeng smoothed her shoulder bag...

"Puchi!" Everyone in the studio couldn't help but laugh out loud. It was so cool, too cool. Where did this actor find such a funny guy?

In the picture, Jingjing, played by Xu Qing, rolled her eyes.

The essence...

　"Crazy Stone" is really a good movie. The narrative techniques and hidden details in it are so thrilling!

　　Director Ning is a genius director, tribute to him!
