Chapter 1272 "The Shadow Between Scenes" (Part 1)

The next day, Qin Jue returned to the crew. Before Kong Jun sent someone to express his condolences, she asked Hu Changqie to send a thank-you gift to the director to thank him for his care two days ago.

It was not that he was acting to make the excuse of "Qin Jue was too immersed in the filming" more credible, but Kong Jun's "makeup removal therapy" that came to his mind at the time did work. Qin Jue's approval of his filming concept was one thing, and repaying his personal help was another.

The gift was the most cutting-edge product of Qin Yi Technology. There is an unwritten convention in the entertainment circle of Longguo that payment points are given priority over credit points in commercial payments and social exchanges, because the latter involves personal credit, and people in the circle often cannot withstand investigation. But Qin Ke's rule has always been to give credit points as the first choice, which has led to some people in the entertainment circle, although they are wealthy and have extensive connections, not being able to get Qin Ke's limited new products that require real-name reservations and orders, and are not allowed to be resold within a week.

Therefore, those who really know the value of things can easily understand the sincerity and weight of Qin Jue's thank-you gift.

Kong Jun has been immersed in the circle for a long time, so he naturally has this vision. After receiving the gift, he immediately politely said that it was just a small favor, or that Teacher Qin Jue was so good at acting that he could use this unconventional method to quickly adjust the state of entering and exiting the play... In short, he said a lot of good things.

Qin Jue listened to Hu Changqie's retelling in a casual manner, nodded from time to time, and said a few polite words to the makeup artist next to him.

After a back and forth, this favor was completely repaid, and he could maintain a harmonious relationship with Kong Jun from then on.

"Mingzi, the second to last page, the fourth line from the top." Qin Jue said.

"Okay, brother." Zhang Ming skillfully opened the script and said the lines to Qin Jue before filming.

After the most important farewell scene was filmed, there were only a few scattered shots left in the eighth episode. If the crew worked hard, Qin Jue could get off work today.

However, Kong Jun seemed to want to give Qin Jue some sweetness in his own way, so under the banner of "combining work and rest", Qin Jue's scenes were evenly divided into three days, and the original completion date was postponed.

"That's fine, just in time to spend more time with Tutu."

Qin Jue didn't mind staying anywhere, and didn't say anything about Kong Jun's idea that "one day later to complete the filming can get one more day of publicity bonus from the crew."

Put on makeup, change costumes, move to the performance area, and start the filming. In the intensive filming, a morning passed quickly, and the dessert that Tang Nuo didn't finish was Qin Jue's lunch.

At twelve o'clock noon, a reporter in casual commuter clothes and a cameraman carrying a camera rushed to the studio where Qin Jue and Tang Nuo were filming, and introduced themselves as from the "In-between Shadows" program group.

"Good afternoon, what are your names?" Qin Jue, who had changed into casual clothes, shook hands with them in a friendly manner.

"Teacher Qin, just call me Xiao Ge. This is the cameraman Jiang." Reporter Ge Qi smiled, "When do you think it would be convenient for us to walk through the camera?"

"Now." Qin Jue remembered that the live broadcast officially started at 1:30, "I have to go on stage at around 2 o'clock."

"Okay, okay." Ge Qi nodded hurriedly.

Although Qin Jue was not his favorite white-skinned and long-legged female star, at work, who doesn't like a partner who is less troublesome and more straightforward? The questions he handed over before were not changed at all, so there was no need to rework them. Now he got to the point in a concise and clear manner. He had a good impression of Qin Jue.

"Teacher Qin, this is the case. Our live broadcast is a one-shot one. It is not convenient to interrupt after the streaming begins, so we need to discuss the movement of the whole process with you in advance.

"After all, it is a bit boring to always have the same background. When the time comes, you can walk around, change the background and light, and design some small interactions with me or the assistants around you or the crew members. This way, the content of the live broadcast will be rich and beautiful - don't worry, our cameramen are very professional, and dynamic shots are no problem. ”

Ge Qi began to introduce the topic skillfully. He had practiced this opening line to perfection and was quite eloquent.

He was actually a little curious about Qin Jue’s reaction, because it was not easy to shoot the “surprise visit” column of “In-between Shadows”. Many stars’ (including male stars) teams would ask the program crew to come long in advance, repeatedly rehearse the movements and Q&A with the artists or their assistants, and confirm the camera angles countless times to ensure that the artists were natural and beautiful at every angle in the live broadcast, just like shooting a vlog. All the shots seemed ordinary, but they were actually carefully designed.

However, in Qin Jue’s case, he didn’t know whether the other party was very confident in his appearance, acting skills and on-the-spot response, or really didn’t care, making “In-between Shadows” finally a “lightweight program” as positioned.

“I see, come on. "Qin Jue answered immediately.

Ahh——

Ge Qi cheered in his heart.

What a straightforward partner. He hadn't experienced this feeling for a long time, where he only needed to prepare questions in advance, come on the day of shooting, chat and rehearse, start live broadcast, and then go home.

"How is it over there?" Qin Jue pointed to a place not far away.

The shooting location for her and Tang Nuo was a green screen studio. To the right was Liao's studio, which was Luo Ling's territory. It was not suitable to go there, so it was better to go to the left. There was a slightly sparse but large forest there. Going through it was the football field. Therefore, this forest was usually used as the boundary between the real campus scene and the crew studio.

"All up to you." Ge Qi answered very skillfully.

The production team of "Heart Shadow Link" and Qin Jue are both the first party of their small show. Being the second party requires the awareness of the second party. No matter whether the other party's requirements are normal or outrageous, just obey them and it will be done.

"The live broadcast will last between fifteen and twenty-five minutes, right?"

Qin Jue was not polite. While waving her hand to let Ge Qi and cameraman Jiang Ge follow her, she confirmed the information and said, "My idea is to start from the edge of the studio, walk to the grove, then walk back, gradually walk into the heart of the studio, and enter the rest area of ​​the performance area. It is roughly a semicircular movement line."

"I will slow down a bit. It will take about eighteen minutes from the starting point to the end point, with a fluctuation of one and a half minutes. Is this okay?"

"Ah...ah, okay." Ge Qi was a little confused.

He thought that Qin Jue would ask a question and he would answer a few questions, and then give some appropriate suggestions. The two of them would discuss and move forward slowly. As a result, Qin Jue said everything he should say alone. This feeling of being useless was really sudden and strange.

"I see that Jiang's camera is Santan R7000. May I ask about the specific parameter settings? I remember that its AWB (automatic white balance) and AC (automatic contrast) are very good, but AS (automatic saturation) is a bit too strong. Do you turn it on automatically?"

Ignoring Ge Qi's surprised look in her peripheral vision, Qin Jue got the answer from the cameraman's expression. She continued, "This forest is not dense. It's a joke to say that the trees block out the sun. What I mean is that the light inside is not dim as a whole, but bright and dark."

"According to my personal experience, the Santan R7000 model is very likely to be over-recognized by AS. And since we are pursuing natural shooting, the picture should be more real. Too bright colors will look strange."

Qin Jue said a series of parameters including depth of field and exposure compensation, "How about setting it to timed switching? Or one-click switching, select fast transition mode. It should be difficult to adjust manually during the live broadcast."

"Okay."

Qin Jue's instructions were very precise, and the cameraman, who didn't talk much, nodded crisply.

"..."Ge Qi was stunned.

"Okay, let's do this." Qin Jue had already led the two to the boundary line of the studio while he was talking.

The boundary line is actually a tacit term. The crew of "Heart and Shadow Link" has taken over the entire campus, so there is no need to set up a separate cordon. This is just a relatively obvious position where "this side is outside and that side is the studio."

"Do you want to shoot a head shot, an over-the-shoulder shot, or a half-body shot for live broadcast?" Qin Jue asked Ge Qi.

"Uh." Ge Qi suddenly had the illusion of being asked a question by a teacher in school, "Usually an over-the-shoulder shot will shoot a half-body shot when walking. If you want to change it, you can..."

"OK, then this angle, a half-body shot from the front."

Qin Jue adjusted his position and stood at the edge of the studio.

Ge Qi glanced at the camera's viewfinder and found that Qin Jue had just stood in the middle of the lens, without a single mistake.

Oh my god, he caught the camera position so accurately, without even looking.

Ge Qi was in awe.

Qin Jue pointed behind him:

"The back is facing the green screen shed, and during the movement, you can also take pictures of the lounge further away, which is the row of beautiful small houses. Use the lines and textures of the crew's buildings to make the background more layered. I think it's pretty good."

"Oh, by the way, just focus normally, don't open the background blur very much, and don't turn on the passerby sticker mosaic function in the live broadcast room. I have an interview today, and Deputy Director Li has greeted the entire crew here."

"Um..." Ge Qi unconsciously entered the state of listening to the class.

"Then I'll walk over here, and the camera will follow." Qin Jue greeted as he walked, "During the interview, I don't have any requirements for my own camera. A big head, shoulder, half body, and full body are all fine, as long as the person is in the frame. However,"

She paused slightly, "I hope the camera angle can be kept level. I don't like looking up at people or letting others look up at me."

"Understood." Ge Qi and Jiang Ge nodded at the same time.

Qin Jue had said so much, and now he finally mentioned his personal preferences and requirements. The two of them actually felt a little fresh when they responded.

"Let's go to the woods next." Qin Jue continued, "The studio is artificially lit, and after passing the boundary line, there is natural light here. The light outside the woods is relatively soft, and the camera can be slightly farther away."

"If you want to shoot a blocked transition, you can use the tree I pointed to, yes, the short and prominent one. I remember its texture is very beautiful, and the characteristic of the blocked transition is seamless, which is also suitable for one shot.

"I will try to look directly at the camera, but if I show my side face or back while walking, please don't mind, you don't need to adjust the camera angle to shoot my face. "

Ge Qi and the cameraman surnamed Jiang are human after all. Qin Jue's live broadcasts are usually filmed by a multi-angle drone group controlled by his daughter. He has developed the habit of not grabbing the camera or looking for the camera position. At this time, he is worried that the real cameraman will not cooperate, so he can't help but add a few more words.

She walked a little into the woods, let the cameraman see the actual light effect, and then walked out in a small circle:

"After the scene here is over, I will walk to the side of the set closer to the rest area. The headlights in the studio are very bright, so a translucent screen is usually set up in the rest area to filter the strong light." Tang Nuo After all, the agent is of some use, "The lighting layout with strong and weak light in the far and near areas can highlight the outlines of pedestrians and shooting equipment near the performance area in the background. In conjunction with the movement of the subject, it can add some visual dynamics and pass through inconspicuous details. Emphasis on environment and character.”

"Also, regarding the height of the camera, generally speaking I prefer to stand. Mainly because it is difficult to find a place to sit on the set. The common seats here are only universal apple boxes. I guess you don't want to shoot it."

Qin Jue smiled and said, "So the first half of the live interview will be mainly standing, with some walking from time to time. As for sitting and chatting, we will talk about it when we get to the rest area at the end - please."

She stretched out her hand, and Ge Qi realized that they had reached the actors' lounge area without knowing it.

"…………"

The mood was too complicated. Ge Qi didn't know what to say for a while. After holding it for a long time, he subconsciously said with awe-filled eyes and tone, "Qin... Best Actor, you really understand the director's work so well."

This ability to plan on the spot, this professional and unique design, this calm and decisive attitude, Qin Jue is more like a PD than him.

"Fortunately, I often hang out on the set, so I'm always a little bit influenced by what I hear and see." Qin Jue said.

Ge Qi: "..." This doesn't seem to be the level of subtle influence.

"Ahem, I understand."

The process advanced so fast that Ge Qi was caught off guard. He also forgot how to express the euphemisms in the cue process, "Then we are now, uh, going to go through it again to deepen our memory, or talk about what should be added during the official live broadcast. A small interaction?”

"Do you need it?" Qin Jue asked Ge Qi, "If you need it, I will rehearse with you, as many times as you like."

Ge Qi: "Huh?"

Wait, who is the reporter and who is the artist?

He hurriedly said: "No, no, no, I want to ask if you want to design something in advance... Well, you know, after all, interaction is quite a test..."

The more Ge Qi spoke, the more incoherent he became, and for some reason he felt a little embarrassed, as if he looked down on Qin Jue.

In the conscience of heaven and earth, he definitely has no intention of doing so, nor does he dare to do so.

"Oh, it's okay." Qin Jue smiled, "Just hang up now for the interaction. Can't we still recruit the staff in the crew to act as extras? Doesn't this delay other people's work?"

Ge Qi: Emmm...

Qin Jue's words "I can rehearse with you" just now were because he was worried that he wouldn't be able to react on the spot.

It was so straightforward and considerate, not only wrapping him in a cotton-padded jacket but also stabbing him with a knife.

"Okay, I understand." Ge Qi touched his nose awkwardly, "Don't worry, it's okay for me to improvise."

Although most of the time in the past, interviews were done step by step according to the script, but the "Assault Team" sub-column is a live broadcast after all, and live broadcasts are always inseparable from accidents and accidents. If Ge Qi is not flexible and can't keep up with his reactions, He can't be this frontline reporter either.

Then again, it was obviously fine when we shook hands and greeted each other before, so why did I feel that I was a little shorter in front of Qin Jue without realizing it?

Because of Qin Jue's own aura? Because Qin Jue is too genuine compared to the celebrities he has interviewed before? ...Because Qin Jue's eyes are too kind?

Alas.

Ge Qi shivered uncomfortably and quickly pushed the last thought out of his mind.

"Ahem, uh, that's it. Do you have anything else to explain?"

Ge Qi glanced at his watch as he spoke. It was a few minutes past twelve when they arrived, and it was now twelve twenty.

Qin Jue said that he would walk for eighteen minutes if he slowed down. He had walked with instructions just now, and counting the time that he and the cameraman Brother Jiang had to listen and understand, it was almost exactly a quarter of an hour.

It’s not just efficient, it’s scary in every way.

"There's nothing else to do. You go and eat. The lunches provided by the crew are delicious. Just tell me my name when you receive them."

Qin Jue's gentle voice recalled Ge Qi's thoughts, "Take a break and get ready. See you at one o'clock."

"Oh, okay, thank you, Teacher Qin." Ge Qi responded subconsciously, said a simple goodbye, and turned around with the cameraman to walk in the direction Qin Jue pointed.

As he was walking, he suddenly stopped.

...Why did Qin Jue know that he didn't have lunch?

Ge Qi turned his head in surprise, feeling that the silhouette of the man sitting alone in a chair reading a script was mysteriously powerful, becoming more and more unfathomable.
