How can a director be a gigolo?

Chapter 124 A Drop in the Ocean

This type of performance is actually very energy-consuming.

Qi Zhen is already doing very well if she can perform two or three times a day; any more and she'll probably run out of energy.

Therefore, Wang Xiaohao tries his best not to disturb them if possible.

Of course, we should also be grateful for this era.

This made cameras much cheaper, so a film crew could often have several cameras available at the same time, and several camera positions could be set up simultaneously.

Record the actors' performances from various angles.

In the early years when film crews were poor, many only had one camera, so they could only set up one camera position.

Actors often have to perform the same act several times.

This allows the camera to be adjusted to record the performance from different angles, making it easier for post-production editing.

For example, the same performance is performed three times: one shot from the front, one shot from the left, and one shot from the right.

This will make it easier to edit the footage later and see which angle of the shot is more suitable!

That actor is really unlucky!

Especially when filming action scenes, he would fall down three times.

The classic 1983 version of "Journey to the West" was filmed with just one camera!

At this moment, Qi Zhen's performance, under the high-definition camera, was absolutely beautiful and crystal clear.

The black luxury coat sponsored by the brand was even more eye-catching!

The camera zooms out from a close-up to a medium shot, then suddenly switches to a bird's-eye view, and then zooms up again.

The female lead is like a drop in the ocean in an entire snowfield!

There's no other reason than that Wang Xiaohao shot this scene simply to show off his skills!

Of course, you can also pursue a deeper meaning in the shot, such as the insignificance of humans relative to nature.

Human sorrow, placed amidst this vast expanse of white snow, is not even a speck of dust!

However, Wang Xiaohao's original intention was simply to show off his skills!

In the era before drones, it would have been very difficult to capture such footage.

No one has yet realized the importance of using drones for aerial photography.

As a time traveler, Wang Xiaohao had already realized this.

Although the civilian drone market is not yet mature.

However, it took him a lot of effort to finally find a vendor and get the drone for filming!

The wealthy and powerful Lü Xuan once said, "Why don't we just use a helicopter to film it!"

Wang Xiaohao had considered it, but the wind from the helicopter was too strong and would leave tracks on the snow, which would then be blown away by the heavy snow.

Of course, more importantly, Wang Xiaohao also wanted to see how far drones had developed in this time and space!

So he persisted in looking for the drone developer, and he actually found one!

In fact, in my previous life, it was around this time that civilian-grade drones began to appear on the market!

Wang Xiaohao even considered whether he could take a stake and make a profit.

Unfortunately, he didn't have enough money!

Most importantly, he can't provide any resources.

They won't accept investments from them!

It's like some wealthy, nouveau riche business owners wanting to invest in Wang Xiaohao's films. But Wang Xiaohao doesn't just accept investments randomly!

You need to be able to provide resources to help!

Why did Wang Xiaohao come to curry favor with Jin Ningxin?

Isn't it because they can provide all sorts of resources and assistance?

Wang Xiaohao can't provide many resources; he only has money, so he can probably only buy a small number of shares at a premium.

For example, a premium of five or six times is possible!

But they invest at least tens of millions, and if you price it five or six times higher, it'll cost hundreds of millions...

Wang Xiaohao also couldn't come up with the money!

Naturally, the investment in the drone company also fell through!

The more frustrating thing is that there are two or three drone companies on the market now, and nobody knows which one will have the last laugh.

Which one will fail halfway through?

These are all things we don't know.

After all, this is a parallel universe, and the overall environment is similar to that of my previous life.

But the specific people and companies have all changed!

So, investing in drones is something I should probably just think about and forget about.

Go back to making your own movies and running your own milk tea brand on the side – that's the real business!

The story of love letters is actually not that complicated.

It's nothing more than that Watanabe Hiroko's fiancé, male Fujii Itsuki, died while hiking, and even three years later, Watanabe Hiroko still couldn't forget him.

Among the male tree's belongings, she found the address of Fujii Itsuki's old home.

Then I sent a letter expressing my condolences.

However, she did not notice that there were two Fujii Itsuki on the roster.

However, it turned out that the female Fujii Itsuki received the letter. Being ill, she initially thought it was a prank. But because of her illness and weakness, and her emotional fragility, she wrote back.

By sheer coincidence, two women who look exactly alike begin exchanging letters because of the name Fujii Itsuki.

Therefore, faith plays a very important role in the movie!

Wang Xiaohao once considered changing the letter to an email.

Although this was understandable, he ultimately did not make any changes.

Because letters are no longer available, the use of email seems to have robbed us of the slow pace of life we ​​once knew.

After much thought, he finally set the timeline back more than ten years to the time before the Internet had been developed.

We need to add a touch of nostalgia to the whole film!

Throughout the film, Wang Xiaohao did not choose the bright and cheerful urban style of his previous film, "My Sassy Girl".

Instead, a warm, nostalgic color palette was used!

Wang Xiaohao even considered whether to simply use a film camera to shoot the film.

Because the warm texture of film is completely different from that of digital cameras.

The original film "Love Letter" was shot on film, and its texture is difficult to replicate with a digital camera!

However, Wang Xiaohao quickly dismissed the idea, not considering the availability of film or the additional investment that using film would incur!

The key issue is that film shooting is too difficult; neither Wang Xiaohao nor Ding Binbai had studied it and couldn't handle it.

To put it another way, although both film cameras and digital cameras are cameras, they can often be considered as two completely different things.

Film cameras are much more difficult to use than digital cameras!

Both Ding Binbai and Wang Xiaohao entered the industry too late.

In an era when almost no one had any experience with film photography!

Although film has a unique texture that is difficult for digital cameras to replicate.

However, nothing is absolute. At worst, we can just spend a little more money later to hire a professional to do the color grading!

Color grading is also a very important step in film post-production, almost as important as editing.

The goal is to ensure that all the footage shot adheres to a unified color scheme.

Otherwise, if there are color differences between the segments, it will be very unpleasant to look at!

In the era of film cameras, color grading was a very important technical skill.

It still needs to be sent to a professional color matching factory!

In the digital age, it's much simpler!
