Section 1152 Rest after sunset
Whether a shot is good or not depends first on whether it is 'natural'. Sensational scenes are unnatural and will make people feel contrived, and funny scenes are unnatural and will make people feel deliberate. To put it bluntly, no matter how wonderful the content in the shot is, as long as there is less 'natural' feeling, this shot can only get a 'unqualified' evaluation in the end.
This section of the lens designed by Li Jingyuan ran into this trouble. Just looking at the content, it was already very interesting, but after the actual shooting, he found that there were many problems, and the most critical one was that it was not natural enough.
In fact, this scene can be divided into two parts, and the dividing line is the moment when the horse's head appears in the camera.
According to Li Jingyuan's request, when there are no horses in the camera, Xiao Jing and Shirley, as well as PSY who catches up from behind, must be 'stable' as usual, which can make people feel that they are walking, but definitely not make people feel that they are riding horses.
I have to say, it's too difficult to do that.
Li Jingyuan only took into account the human factor, but did not take into account the horse factor. Without horses, PSY and the two girls would certainly be able to keep their upper bodies still, but now that they are all sitting on horses, it is not so easy to maintain a stable position. After all, the horse is in a state of walking, and the person sitting on the horse is bound to follow the horse's steps up and down, and PSY and the other three are not professional riders, so naturally they can't use experience to control their movements at this time to offset this ups and downs.
And, even if they do it to the extent that they don't move. It can also look unnatural. Although it is not a long shot to shoot the whole process in one go, the front and rear shots should be coherent, right?
The horse's head is motionless before it appears, and the audience may not feel awkward. After all, they hadn't noticed that the three of them were riding horses at this time. But when the horses appear in the camera, if they keep their original movements, it will make people feel very 'stiff'.
'Stiffness' is unnatural, and when relaxed, it will also look unnatural because the movements are different from the previous shot.
And that's just one thing, there's another unnatural part of this shot.
Lee Kyung-won asked 'don't let the horses appear in the camera yet'. It's not easy to do that.
In TV series and movies, there are often scenes of 'someone without a horse', and Li Jingyuan also thought of those scenes. That's why the same request is made at this time.
However, he is not a professional director after all. Because of his lack of experience, he still made a lot of mistakes.
Horses lower their necks and level their bodies when they run, but not when they are slow. Unless someone is holding them around.
Right now. Li Jingyuan's request is that the speed should not be too fast and slow, and there should be no stables on the side to help lead the horses, so of course the horses will not take the initiative to hang their heads when they are walking.
If the camera is placed in front of the horse, it will be possible to photograph the upper body of Little Crystal and Shirley, and at the same time, it will inevitably photograph the horse's head raised. If you don't want the horse's head to appear, the camera can only be placed in the position 'behind the horse's head and in front of the rider'.
When the camera is placed in that position, it is too close to the rider to capture a single close-up of one person. This conflicts with Li Jingyuan's request to 'shoot the two of them in one frame at the same time'.
The experienced photographer changed his shooting technique several times in a row, but he still couldn't meet Li Jingyuan's requirements. Seeing this situation, Li Jingyuan had to seconded several experts from the Wuxuan program team to discuss a solution together.
After ten minutes of discussion, Li Jingyuan was a little disappointed in the conclusion, and even the veteran photographers in the unchallenged program team were also unable to solve the problem in front of them. Well, in fact, this is no longer a question of whether the shooting technique is right or not, but a dead knot that cannot be bypassed by the laws of physics, and after figuring this out, Li Jingyuan finally had to make a slight modification to the shooting content.
The horse's head will appear in the picture at the beginning, and Little Crystal and Shirley don't have to deliberately pretend that they are not riding.
And when PSY comes out, you have to catch up from behind at a faster pace. In this way, because of his increased speed, the pony will inevitably bow his head. At this time, the scene in the shot is as follows, on the right is Xiao Crystal and Shirley on horseback, and on the left is the upper body of only one PSY.
After that, PSY, who had caught up with the two girls, slowed down, and the pony he was riding gradually lifted its head again. At this time, the camera zooms out a little farther, and then the three people and their horses are circled into the frame at the same time.
“Cut~~! OK~! After the modification, not only is it much easier to shoot, because there is no need to deliberately maintain a fixed posture, Xiao Jing and Shirley's performance is also much more natural, after trying two or three times, Li Jingyuan is very satisfied and shouted OK.
"Jing Yuan, don't you want to do it again, I suddenly thought of an idea, it seems that it will be more interesting to shoot." After watching the replay, PSY was not as satisfied as Lee Kyung-won, but suddenly made a request for a reshoot.
"Brother, what did you think of?" It's not that he has other ideas, but because he is very curious, Li Jingyuan can't help but ask first.
"Look here. What if I made this gesture when I chased after me? HE POINTED TO THE PICTURE, AND THEN POSED TO THE SIDE TO SWING HIS ARMS WHILE RUNNING, AND PSY EXPLAINED DIRECTLY WITH BODY LANGUAGE.
MAKING AN ARM SWING MOTION, THE AUDIENCE WILL THINK THAT PSYCHE IS RUNNING TO CATCH UP, AND WHEN THEY GET TO THE FRONT, A HORSE'S HEAD APPEARS IN FRONT OF PSY, WHICH WILL PROVE THAT HE IS ACTUALLY RIDING A HORSE. PSY's suggestion actually adds a reversal to the content. And the action of 'riding a horse and swinging your arms' is sure to be hilarious in itself. Thinking of this, how could Li Jingyuan disagree.
Nodding. Two more shots were taken as PSY suggested. After watching the new footage, Li Jingyuan also had to admit that the effect was indeed better than before.
The suggestion was agreed. And the effect is also good, and PSY's enthusiasm is getting higher and higher, so he made another suggestion in the following shoot.
At the end of this scene, Lee Kyung-won will whistle from afar to beckon the pony to his side, leaving PSY alone in the camera. At this time, the camera will give a close-up of PSY's face. Take his speechless and aggrieved expression as the end of this set of shots.
PSY's suggestion is to modify this ending.
"I didn't have a horse, so I pretended to be riding. Isn't there a horse riding dance? Over here. Don't shoot a close-up of my expression, but shoot me leaving with a horse dance, what do you think? "I've already shot one before, and PSY used this NG lens as a comparison. He made his new proposal to Li Jingyuan.
Horse dancing without horses. To put it bluntly, this behavior is actually the act of 'pretending to be like a face', just from the feeling of it, it is more in line with the main tone of the entire MV than the original version designed by Li Jingyuan. Also, according to PSY's suggestion, you can also guide the horseback dancing movement at this time, which is also a good point.
"Okay, then try it first and see how it works." I thought about it a little bit. Li Jingyuan nodded immediately and agreed to PSY's suggestion with kindness.
————————————————————————————
It was filmed more than a dozen times. It took more than three hours, and by the time I got the most satisfying shot, the sun had already sunk below sea level.
It was not only because of the lack of natural conditions that he could not continue filming, but also because it was already time for dinner, so Li Jingyuan did not continue to practice everyone's thoughts, but said 'call it a day', and let everyone return to the front yard of the main house again, ready to enjoy a dinner that is more sumptuous than lunch.
"Wait a minute~!" Just when Park Myung-so was the first to pick up the plate and was about to pick out his favorite delicacy, Kim Tae-ho suddenly stood up and blocked Park Myung-so's way.
"What's the matter? Get out of the way, I'm going to eat~! As soon as Kim Tae-ho appeared, Park Myung-so subconsciously felt that something was wrong, and in order to prevent Kim Tae-ho from saying the following words, he roared first.
How could Kim Tae-ho, who had been prepared for a long time, be frightened by Park Myung-so's roar, he didn't back down at all, and still stopped in front of Park Myung-so.
"Jing Yuan, I know that you want to take advantage of the last opportunity before you leave to let everyone get together, but we are a variety show, we can't just enjoy doing nothing, right?" There is no shooting task for a day today, Yoo Jae-seok has a lot of free time, and he has already been colluded with by Kim Tae-ho, at this time, he stood up and guided according to the plan that had been discussed.
"Okay, I just know that Lu Dao won't be so easy, let's say, what are you going to play?" looked at Yoo Jae-seok and then at Kim Tae-ho, and Lee Kyung-won and the other unchallenged members also understood.
Although I am a little dissatisfied, it is also something that cannot be helped. For the unchallenged members, it is not once or twice that something like this has happened. Every time everyone leaves Seoul to shoot elsewhere, the program team will arrange the time very tightly and shoot as much content as possible during the trip. For example, "New Zealand Special", such as "New York Special", were interspersed with several different contents in just a few days, and finally let the program team make up seven or eight episodes of the program.
This time was no exception. Although it is not a trip abroad, it is no worse than going abroad purely in terms of conditions. Under such conditions, how could the program team not hurry up and make more programs?
"Including PSY, Tiffany, Shirley, and Krystal, there are now twelve members, now, let's draw lots and divide into four groups." Kim Tae-ho sold a pass, and did not directly explain the content, but first took a box from the hands of the staff and handed it to Yoo Jae-seok.
If you don't know the content of the game, it is naturally impossible to know who is the most beneficial teammate for the road, and everyone has more apprehension and anxiety when they draw lots.
"Tiffany, who do you want to be with?" Before the start of the draw. There must always be a little foreshadowing content, and Liu Zaishi asked Xiao T, who happened to be standing beside him.
"Well, I'm in a group with Jingyuan OPPA." I was a little embarrassed. Little T spoke his mind.
"Oh? For what? ”
"Huh? What is a for? Do you need to explain why? Well, I just think OPPA is a little bit more reliable. Thinking that Xiao T had some special reason, Liu Zaishi asked. However, what he got was such an answer, which made Liu Zaishi a little speechless.
In the end, it is the national MC, although the answer he got was ridiculous, Liu Zaishi could still find the words and continue to ask: "Okay." Let me ask you another question, who do you least want to be in a group with? ”
Compared to the previous question, this question is the feature of "Infinite Challenge". As soon as they heard Liu Zaishi ask this question, the members of the Wuxuan couldn't help but get excited, and they all began to pat Xiao T's ass.
"Well~~~." has been asked the reason once just now, and Xiao T subconsciously thinks that Liu Zaishi will ask the reason again after hearing his answer. Thereupon. She was a little more serious about choosing the object of 'disgust' than she had just been, and she had been thinking about it for a longer time.
Looking at the past one by one, Xiao T is really a simple person, and when they see her eyes, everyone understands what she is thinking now.
"Don't look at me, don't look at me~!" The longer Zhilu Dao is stared at by Xiao T, the more likely it is that she will be named and certified as someone who 'doesn't want to be a companion'. The members couldn't help but want to avoid Little T's sight.
"Yah~! Didn't you tell you not to stare at me~! "Why do you always look at me? Do you like me? Compared with the other people, Park Myung-so and Roh Hong-chul, who have been targeted for the longest time, have different reactions. Lao Park felt that he had a good chance of being elected. He simply broke the jar and yelled at Little T. As for Lu Hongzhe, he is still not too desperate, and wants to use 'greasy' means to force Xiao T's eyes away.
Whatever the solution, it's always something more special than the others. Moreover, Xiao T's original idea was to pick one of these two people to point out, so after Park Myung-so and Lu Hongzhe reacted, she was even more determined in her heart.
Choosing one of the two, Xiao T was still a little embarrassed, and at this moment, Xiao Jing leaned into her ear and whispered a whisper, which seemed to give her a little advice.
"I choose Hongzhe OPPA~."
"What are you doing?" Lu Hongzhe suddenly couldn't help but shout: "Fany, aren't we very familiar with each other?" Don't you like to talk to me? Why did you choose me? Don't pick that old guy? ”
In a hurry, Lu Hongzhe threw a 'skull bomb' at Park Myung-so, and the word 'old guy' was too rude.
"Yah~! Hongzhe, although we all know the truth, you can't just call Brother Mingxiu 'old guy' on TV. Liu Zaishi's words sounded like he was accusing Lu Hongzhe, but he also echoed Lu Hongzhe's words from the side, so as soon as he finished speaking, he was immediately attacked by Park Myung-so.
Although the strength is not big, but the action is very exaggerated, Park Myung-so is making a fuss, some people hurriedly step forward to pull the rack, some people are coaxing, and some people are watching the excitement, and the scene suddenly became a mess.
finally cleaned up the scene, Liu Zaishi made room for it, and asked Xiao T again, 'What are you doing?'.
"Xiujing told me just now, she said that what Hongzhe OPPA is best at is 'climbing the pole', if you don't understand a little bit and name him at this time, he will definitely stick his face over after a while, and while saying 'I know that you like me', it annoys me to the point that I want to cry." has already received the guidance of Xiao Jing, and Xiao T did not panic at all when he answered at this time, and he said the reason very smoothly.
Everyone saw Xiao Jingjing's action of whispering to Xiao T just now, and she knew that Dao was the most important decision she made after influencing Xiao T. However, no one expected that she would say such a sentence to Xiao T, and now after hearing Xiao T's retelling, they are all stunned.
"Ha Lu Ha ~ ~~!!" After a while, a loud burst of laughter erupted.
"Krystal, how do you know Hongzhe so well? Are you friends with him? By the way, Jing Yuan, this can't all be taught by you, right? Everyone who couldn't help but laugh couldn't help but think of Li Jingyuan, especially Lu Hongzhe, who stared at Li Jingyuan's eyes as if he was firing a laser.
"Don't ask, this girl is a freak, it's her who is talking about it, sometimes I want her to be younger and younger, so I invest in her to be the protagonist and make a sequel to "Home Alone".
"Hmph~! What is this, you will know it when you see it. Don't look at me small, OPPAs don't treat me like a child. Not to mention anything else, even OPPA and my sister are the red threads I pull~! "It's completely different from Li Jingyuan's headache expression, Xiao Jing's expression is so proud that she almost makes a gesture of facing the sky on her back.
"What? Jing Yuan and Jessica will date, also because of the red line you pulled? Unconsciously, Xiao Jing broke a lot of news, and after hearing her words, where would the members take what happened just now to heart, and they couldn't help but ask. (To be continued......)
