Chapter 251 Visual Metaphors in the Background

In the picture.

Xu Fugui's father, the old man of the Xu family, sat on a chair with his crutches in both hands, looking gentle and haggard.

He looked at the wooden table in front of him, as if he was talking to someone else, or as if he was talking to himself: "Gambling debts are also debts. Since ancient times, there is no reason to owe money and not pay it back."

The old man raised his head, glanced at everyone, and said kindly, "Everyone is here today, so let's do it according to the old rules."

The witness sitting in the main seat stood up with the house deed and said loudly: "This courtyard house of the Xu family has paid off Fugui's gambling debts, and Xu Longer has cleared the debt from now on. Both parties sign it."

The accountant took the house deed and put it on the table. Longer bowed his waist, walked over with a humble face, looked at the old man Xu, and signed it readily.

The old man dipped his red ink and pressed his fingers on the house deed tremblingly, "I thought I could die in this courtyard."

After saying that, he stood up with his crutches.

…

Seeing this, Chen Xiao in front of the monitor breathed a sigh of relief.

As expected of an old actor, his positioning was very accurate and he did it in one take.

The actor was emotionally involved, and his emotions burst out in the next shot.

Then don't call cut, just shoot the next shot directly!

Chen Xiao turned his head and gestured to the photographer holding the lens, indicating that he was ready to follow.

…

On the monitor screen, Mr. Xu walked towards his son calmly.

In front of him, Fugui, dressed in satin clothes, sat on the armchair like a lost soul.

Hearing the footsteps of the old man approaching, he raised his head.

As soon as he raised his head.

"Fugui." The old man called him gently.

There was a trace of trembling in the gentle voice.

The next moment,

the old man raised his crutches and was about to beat Fugui.

Fugui quickly got up and walked to the door.

The landlords and wealthy businessmen sitting around hurried up to stop and persuade them to make peace, and the hall suddenly fell into chaos.

"Little bastard, get up, I, I, I killed him, I castrated him. I chopped him up. I can't spare him. I hit him. I boiled him. I want his life..."

Just after he finished scolding him, the old man's facial features suddenly tightened, and the whole person collapsed backwards with a painful face.

Seven wealthy businessmen and landlords surrounded him, "Old man, old man."

Fugui stood at the door, looking at the crowd a little confused.

…

"Good! Pass!" Chen Xiao stood up and walked towards the actor who played the old man Xu who was climbing up with the help of everyone.

"Is Mr. He okay?"

"It's okay." Mr. He smiled and waved his hand, patting the dust on his clothes.

Xiao Zhou behind him looked at Chen Xiao's movements, frowned, and pursed his lips.

He thought he came here today to see the chief director giving instructions.

But what is the reality?

He just heard him shouting Action and Ka, getting close to people, and did nothing else.

And the scene arranged yesterday was for this morning. But the play is almost finished, and the three characters of Fu, Lu and Shou are not used.

Suddenly I feel that maybe it is not Chen Xiao who is amazing, but his background?

Or, Chen Xiao has not always been amazing, right?

After releasing a work, he has the Ministry of Culture as his backer for the second one, and everyone in his team is a big shot.

Xiao Zhou sighed, frowning more and more.

He did not hate Chen Xiao, but was a little disappointed.

He thought he was a real god, but after watching for a whole day, he did not see anything amazing, which was a bit disappointing.

Just when I thought of this, I heard Teacher He in front of me say, "Director Chen, why don't we watch the playback again? I will not feel at ease if you let me pass it in one take."

Another middle-aged man who played a wealthy businessman echoed: "Yes, I am a little worried about the last two shots being passed in one take. Let's see if there are any actors who are not emotionally in place outside the focus."

"Okay, no problem."

Everyone came to the monitor to watch the playback.

Three reporters also came over.

Teacher He sat next to Chen Xiao and looked at the screen carefully.

After signing the signature, he stood up slowly with the help of crutches.

At this moment, Teacher He pointed at the screen and laughed, "Oh, it's right. This position is so accurate!"

The staff on the side heard the voice and thought that they had to carefully confirm the picture, so they cooperated to pause the playback.

Reporter Duan stared at the screen carefully and asked in confusion: "It's right, what..."

As soon as he said it, his eyes trembled and he stopped asking questions.

Xiao Zhou next to him saw that he looked strange and asked, "Teacher Duan, what is right?"

Reporter Duan looked at the screen and said, "Words, when the old man of the Xu family stood up, he blocked the word Shou on the far left."

The director of photography in front turned around and smiled, "Yes, this is called a visual metaphor, which implies the fate of the character. If you paid attention to the movement trajectory of the lens just now, you will find that the lens moved to the left and the word Lu moved out of the lens. Their family's Lu is gone."

Xiao Zhou looked at the screen and suddenly realized.

If it hadn't moved 20 centimeters to the left yesterday, it really wouldn't be so aligned.

So Director Chen stood in the northwest, and the human eye imitated the camera lens, estimating the position?

Oh my god, he must be familiar with the actors' heights, right?

Is it so amazing?

Just as he was thinking this, Mr. He in front of him smiled and praised, "It's so evenly aligned."

Chen Xiao confirmed the status of other people in the picture again, and said politely, "Your position is accurate. It was quite accurate when we were rehearsing in the morning."

"After all, we have communicated many times in the capital." After Mr. He laughed for a few seconds, he waved his hand, "Hey, hurry up and play it down, this shot makes me scared."

An actor next to him smiled and comforted: "No, no, it's Mr. Xu in the picture, Teacher He, may you live a hundred years."

...

Listening to the politeness of the actors and staff who are older than him in front.

This time, Xiao Zhou didn't get goosebumps in disgust like before, but bowed his head deeply.

It turned out that they had rehearsed for a long time before, so they only got it through in one take.

It's not that Chen Xiao was slacking off.

He acted relaxed just because he had worked hard before.

He was too critical, and he was used to thinking the worst of the superiors based on the few scenes he saw.

Just over a minute ago, he maliciously speculated that Chen Xiao only knew how to get close to people because he greeted Teacher He.

I'm so sorry...

He used to think that politeness and socializing were meaningless etiquette. Aren't rich people or big companies still gathered for profit? Doing your job well and pursuing your mission is the right way.

But now he suddenly realized clearly that it was not right.

Some people are really incompetent and use courtesy and socializing as a way to get by.

And those who are competent only use courtesy and politeness as icing on the cake.

He only saw that others were polite, and then he inferred that they relied on maneuvering among the big guys to get to the top. It really is... the potential of a marketing account.

Thinking of this, Xiao Zhou buried his head deeply.

Change, must change.

Next, he must be honest and sit in the interview report.

Thinking of this, the actors and staff in front also finished watching the playback.

The assistant director next to the camera saw that everyone had no problem, and shouted loudly: "Okay, the morning shooting is over, everyone has worked hard, and it's time to go home."
