Entertainment: The Road to an Actor Starting from a Villain

In the 7 minutes designed by Du Qifeng, the first part is a display shot.

It mainly shows two groups of people, the police and the gangsters.

Show their environment and what they are going to do.

Therefore, there is no need to rush the camera movement here, it can be done slowly.

But entering the second half of the shootout stage is different.

Everyone here is shooting and fighting!

This is a huge picture, and the camera is a pair of appreciative eyes.

These eyes want to keep seeing more exciting content, either looking down from a high altitude, or going deep into it to watch every detail.

For this reason, Du Qifeng naturally would not use the first method. Although he could see the scene of everyone's gunfight from a bird's eye view, he could not see the details of the actors' performances.

If so, why did he spend so much money to find actors?
Why bother to find a real gun?

Du Qifeng is a director with strict self-requirements.

He absolutely does not allow the simple but untechnical way to complete the shooting in order to save trouble, regardless of the quality of the work.

There is only one requirement of Du Qifeng, that is to keep pressing in, he wants to see every detail of each actor when shooting!
But he is not without some small tricks.

For example, now, when he is shooting, he often uses a panning technique to slowly pull everyone into the shot.

This method is very simple, but it makes the whole picture look like a stage play.

In fact, Du Qifeng really likes all kinds of stage plays forever.

For example, in the "Gorgeous Office Worker" he filmed before, a lot of stage plays and music techniques were used in the whole film.

Although the movie hit the street hard, it didn't make Du Qifeng completely give up this idea.

The camera moves from Zhang Zhiheng on the right to the left.

Sir, Han Fei, who shot the gun, kept appearing in the camera.

Finally, the camera stopped on Chen Yiyuan.

He stood behind the bunker, holding two guns in his hands, and kept shooting towards both sides.

Although there was a bunker in front of him, Chen Yiyuan had no intention of squatting down to avoid it.

Zhou Chen grasped the role of Chen Yiyuan very well, every time he fired a shot, his eyes became more and more fierce.

The photographers who saw his eyes couldn't help feeling a little scared.

In particular, Zhou Chen aimed his gun at the camera as if provocative.

Looking at each other's fierce eyes, and the muzzle.

The photographers were all terrified.

On the contrary, Du Qifeng became a little excited when he saw Zhou Chen's eyes.

This fierce feeling is Chen Yiyuan!

But it's a pity that the camera couldn't stay on Zhou Chen's body for too long.

In order not to make the picture boring, Du Qifeng kept the camera in motion, and the lens could not stay on each character for more than ten seconds.

When the camera turned around on the street, two more police cars joined the battlefield.

This is Du Qifeng's design, every moment, he will add new elements into the picture.

In this way, the picture will not be boring!

A police officer behind the police car walked towards the front along the direction of the bunker.

The camera immediately followed him to Zhang Zhiheng's direction.

This is what the lens predicts, and every movement of the lens is traceable.

And one shot to the end, as a very simple but extremely difficult shooting technique, has always been the first choice of many directors to show off their skills.

Although this shooting method does not need to be as expensive as special effects blockbusters.

But it's not that easy to get a good shot.

Every movement of this lens is quite particular.

Just like this movement, it seems to be pulling the camera towards Zhang Zhiheng, but in fact the ultimate goal is a gangster shooting at them on the second floor.

But the camera can't be lifted up abruptly, just point the camera at the gangster above.

Therefore, his logical order is to put the camera on Zhang Zhiheng first.

At this time, the bullet exploded, and when they were dodging, they moved up along the invisible trajectory.

This is a complete logic.

In fact, the difficulty of this shot is not too great, but the gangster who ends up on the second floor in the shot is going to jump down from the second floor.

The difficulty of this action is more prone to accidents.

Once an accident occurs, it means that the scene must be re-shot.

Behind the monitor, Du Qifeng's hand holding the cigar was already swollen.

That's what happens when there's too much tension.

Moreover, when the camera is placed on the gangster who jumped off the building, the personnel on the ground also have to move a lot.

This is the case in the first shot. Some actions of the actors can only be moved when the camera is not on them.

And it took only a dozen seconds for the gangster to jump down from the upstairs, and everyone had to move quickly in such a short time and keep in the state of performance.

This is indeed a very difficult thing.

Fortunately, all this went very smoothly. When the gangster landed, everyone's position had been completed.

As the camera pulls back, several gangsters are framed in it.

They have come out of the bunker and onto the road.

Here I have to mention a huge problem in Xiangjiang police and gangster films. Even if you don't want the gangsters to die so early, you shouldn't design Sir's marksmanship so poorly.

These people have all come out of the bunker, but these people just can't hit people at [-]%.

The camera then pushed back and pointed at Zhou Chen again.

Holding the gun in both hands, he shouted without looking back:

"boarding!!"

The thugs who heard the sound all moved closer to a stolen police car behind them.

Zhou Chen performed Chen Yiyuan's decisive and fierce performance very well.

From time to time, he raised his left and right hands and shot at targets he could see.

At the same time, Zhou Chen's body was also slowly receding.

He alone suppressed everyone in place and couldn't move.

This fully reflects his bravery!
Behind Zhou Chen, the rest of the gangsters covered each other and retreated into the police car.

After Zhou Chen also withdrew into the car, a shell was fired from the car at the same time, heading straight for Zhang Zhiheng.

The camera moves quickly, as if tracking the trajectory of the shell.

The next moment, the shell exploded!

At this point, the whole scene is over.

But the drama isn't over yet.

Du Qifeng's heart has long been relaxed, and the one-shot scene is finally over.

Looking at the next picture, he relaxed a lot.

When the gunpowder smoke filled the air, Zhang Zhiheng and the others rushed out of the bunker and rushed towards the direction where the police car left.

Zhang Zhiheng's speed was relatively fast, and he climbed over the fence in one fell swoop, but the police car was already roaring and running towards the distance.

This is where the game really ends!
