"I don't know." Wu Yiyu spread his hands: "I just came today."
"Then if he uses what he has learned before, shouldn't we give it a rest?"
Wu Yiyu thought for a while and said firmly: "There should be no problem. I have watched the previous programs, and my impression is that the trainees are asked to pose in front of the photo balls, or there are several photo balls kept switching, asking the trainees to It’s not difficult to accurately match the footage being recorded.”
"Is this so..."
Jiang Lu felt a little relieved.
If it's just this level, even if you haven't had any systematic training, there should be little difference if you are familiar with it.
"Moreover."
Wu Yiyu then comforted:
"What Tong Zhen is good at is not leaving the country. What he taught us must be related to the use of photo balls. I don't think we can use the previous skills."
Just as he was talking, Tongzhen was already ready.
"This is a puppet sponsored by the Cloud Shadow Chamber of Commerce. It can perfectly simulate all human behaviors. We use it as a training partner."
Tong Zhen introduced the puppet around him that lacked a hint of agility, but was lifelike and indistinguishable from humans, and began to tell the rules:
“After my demonstration, everyone can be assigned one of these puppets, make them independently, and then I will grade them one by one.
Considering that you are debuting as idols, the works must be biased toward women, so I will focus on showing the beauty of men. I hope you will pay attention to my camera movements and how I handle the camera. "
Because it was a teaching class, the photo ball used by Tong Zhen at this time shared the screen in real time. Not only his actions were broadcast live, but his perspective in front of the camera was also synchronized to the light curtain behind the venue.
And Tong Zhen is indeed worthy of being a top photographer. Even in front of so many people, he has no stage fright. The aura he exudes is not only confident but also confident.
The trainees were all very impressed when they saw Tongzhen's demonstration as if no one else was watching.
"Teacher Tong's movements are so natural."
"It's as if no one is watching him at all. His mental quality is really strong."
"If it were me, I might be a little nervous if there is a third person present, right?"
And such a scene also gave Jiang Lu a sudden sense of déjà vu.
It seems that he had done something similar when he was in Florence, but the scene was bigger at that time.
This also gave him some enlightenment.
If one of the necessary conditions for cultivating camera sense is not to have stage fright, not to be nervous, and to always maintain a natural and relaxed state, then this step seems to have been taken.
He secretly observed the reactions of the trainees and found that they all spoke highly of Tong Zhen. From this, it could be seen that there seemed to be not many trainees with such conditions.
Even though Jiang Lu had not participated in the previous courses, looking at this alone, he seemed to be ahead of these practitioners who had never practiced before.
However, although Jiang Lu discovered his own advantages, he was not too proud, because this was just a threshold, and he was not really trying to compete with these trainees. His path obviously did not end there.
Therefore, the shooting skills of Tongzhen is the key point that he needs to pay attention to.
As Tong Zhenzhen said, he prefers to fill the frame with characters rather than giving a distant view. Therefore, on the light screen, except when changing postures, it will cut to include the entire distant view. At other times, he basically only shoots the bodies of the characters. a part of.
Looking down with a critical eye, Jiang Lu soon understood why Tong Zhen was able to carve out a bloody path as a mortal in such a highly competitive industry.
Just listening to the description, the lens tension theory mentioned by Tong Zhen is already considered the leading version of cognition, but compared with his actual practice, this description is actually quite general and pale.
Even Jiang Lu felt inspired by his fantastic ideas.
Unlike Jiang Lu's imagined slap-in-the-face shots, Tong Zhen is very good at using camera language.
In terms of the picture, the rolling of the Adam's apple, the falling of sweat, the torn sheets, the water stains slowly spreading around, the tense toes, the silhouettes reflected by the bed...
In terms of perspective, from the perspective of a childlike person, the smooth back of the puppet, the distinct back groove and waist, the shoulders that move near and far, and the strong arms supported on both sides from the perspective of the puppet, the voice-over is gentle and heavy breathing. , and the ravines and hanging hair you see when you lower your head.
All the pictures are switching in an orderly manner. Although the whole picture is not visible, it is like a blind man touching an elephant, which gives people the pleasure of imagining and piecing together the whole in their mind. Although there is no movement, all elements are full of movement, which makes people feel... Be in the situation.
Wu Yiyu, who was admiring it, saw Jiang Lu's complicated expression and asked, "What do you think?"
“I feel like I’ve been pouting…”
"what?"
"It's not that I don't understand it." Jiang Lu said with a pessimistic look on his face: "I have to do something from a female perspective. Everything has been fine before, but if something like this happens suddenly, isn't it just giving me shit?"
Only then did Wu Yiyu understand what Jiang Lu disliked and said with a smile:
"Because he just said that if we successfully debut as a group, most of our future works will be female-oriented, so of course there will be many female perspectives.
His usual works generally don't have this kind of perspective. Hey, it's good to take a look at it occasionally for a change of experience. "
"To be fair, I actually think this definition of a woman is quite outrageous."
Jiang Lu asked with some confusion:
"No, is there really a woman who would accept being idolized like this on her behalf?"
"I don't know that."
Wu Yiyu shrugged:
"I only know that the works sold to women are the best ones."
"Live?"
"It's a special version of the photo ball."
Wu Yiyu made two circles with his hands and explained:
“Two glass balls of this size are stuck in an instrument for placing photo balls, and the picture you see is no longer flat, but three-dimensional, and the sound also surrounds your head.
I can’t even imagine how enjoyable it would be to shoot with this child-like shooting method and live-action processing. I can only say that this time I came to the training camp and it was a treasure. "
Jiang Lu was stunned and blurted out: "What VR movie?"
At the same time, the teaching over there has come to an end.
After finishing his performance, Tong Zhenzhen closed the photo ball, and warm applause broke out from both the trainee seats and the family and friends area.
Obviously, the discomfort Jiang Lu felt had no impact on them at all.
Tong Zhenren welcomed the applause, bowed slightly, and said with a smile: "My demonstration must have inspired everyone, so before I start to explain formally, let me give it a try and ask everyone, what have you learned? What?"
As soon as he finished speaking, many trainees raised their hands skillfully. It seemed that this was not the first time for such a question and answer session.
Tongzhen picked a trainee numbered 008 in the front row.
008 trainee Zhu Kun stood up and replied seriously: "Teacher Tong, I think the key lies in the details."
"Of course the focus is on the details." Tong Zhen couldn't help laughing: "Can you be more detailed? What details?"
"That is, you fragment all the elements that should be integrated into one scene, and present all the information worth pondering in a concrete and complete manner. In this way, details that are not easily noticed by others can be They also get close-ups, and the atmosphere and immersion are even stronger.”
After saying that, Zhu Kun eagerly looked forward to Tong Zhenren's comments.
But Tong Zhen did not show any surprise or recognition. He just nodded with a smile and said: "It's not complete, and it doesn't get to the point. Is there anything else?"
Zhu Kun sat back with some embarrassment, and the others raised their hands again.
But this time the number of people raising their hands was significantly smaller.
Maybe it was because they had the same idea as Zhu Kun, or maybe because they didn't dare to express themselves when they saw that the first bird was defeated, in short, they all put down their hands.
Tongzhen randomly selected one of the few people who raised their hands.
The person selected this time is numbered 003, named Wang Ting.
"Teacher Tong, I think it's the lens tension you mentioned. Your treatment not only makes the picture more impactful, but also gives the work a unique artistic conception."
"Impression? It's interesting. Can you tell me more about it?" Tong Zhenzhen was slightly interested.
Wang Ting explained with great confidence: "Personally, I think if an ordinary work is regarded as a narrative article, then your work, teacher, condenses the story in the article into a short and long-lasting story. Poetry and short sentences.
A picture is a carefully crafted and elegant word, which is finally blended together to create an intoxicating world like a dream. "
But his confidence did not give him a much better evaluation than Zhu Kun.
Tong Zhen just nodded, and the interest on his face was replaced by disappointment without concealment.
"It's somewhat relevant, but what you said is not the answer I want. Does anyone else want to answer?"
But this time no one raised their hands.
Tongzhen sighed in his heart. He did not expect that the quality of this class of students was so poor, so he had to start a formal explanation:
"Actually, the real focus lies in two words - empathy.
The so-called sense of substitution, the so-called sense of immersion, the ultimate goal is nothing more than these two words.
All the elements and fragments that I sketched in great detail actually serve this purpose.
If it is a traditional shooting method, the more beautiful the picture is, the more it reminds the viewer that this is not them.
Why? Quite simply, because everything in the picture is something they have never been exposed to before, so they naturally have no empathy.
But I intentionally weakened this part and strengthened the sensory part, which is what everyone has experienced.
If you observe carefully, you will find that both the details mentioned by Zhu Kun and the artistic conception mentioned by Wang Ting are present in my paintings, but they are not as mysterious as they say. Instead, they are full of the breath of life, which any ordinary person must have seen.
Because I believe that only in this way can everyone find their own shadow in these puzzles and let the works enter their hearts. "
At this point, the innocence point has been stopped, and there is no more indoctrination, leaving time for the trainees to think and buffer.
Then he began to observe their reactions.
Most of the trainees were thoughtfully studying his words, a few of them seemed to understand, and some of the trainees were still confused and were asking the people around them.
But just when he was about to look back and start the second part of the course to let the trainees practice, he suddenly saw an inappropriate expression.
Jiang Lu, he was staring at Tong Zhenzhen with suspicion on his face, as if there were only four big characters written on his face.
This kind of subconscious questioning and disdain caused by the true feelings made Tong Zhen's blood pressure rise all of a sudden.
Before he came to teach, he learned the details of the trainees from the organizer. Naturally, he knew that the trainees who were able to compete for the final spot to debut in the group had already been ranked at the top of the previous rounds of screening. , so he tried his best to choose people to answer questions from the previous numbers.
The trainees in the next few rows with lower numbers are either foils or cannon fodder. They are basically victims who come to show off their faces. It stands to reason that given his status, he can not even give him good looks.
So he simply couldn't figure out how the person in the last row, who didn't even have a number, dared to question him.
Therefore, he immediately looked at Jiang Lu expressionlessly and asked, "Student, are you confused about anything?"
Jiang Lu looked around and found that the other person was looking in the direction where he seemed to be the only one: "Ah me?"
"Yes, I see from your expression that you seem to be questioning the theory I just made?"
