Chapter 594: Chinese Variety Shows Still Need to Learn
The Korean outdoor variety shows introduced to the Chinese market today, um, should be said to be those programs that have purchased copyrights. In the early stage of filming, Korean directors will come to provide direct on-site guidance. Therefore, "Running Man" and "Extreme" have absorbed Korean shooting techniques in the outdoor shooting methods. Each performer is accompanied by an accompanying VJ and an accompanying writer.
In terms of outdoor shooting, it must be said that the photography team in Korea has already had very rich experience. This time, the purchase of copyright is also to learn their advanced experience in outdoor shooting. Otherwise, if you get the copyright and directly let Chinese photographers go up to shoot, most of the things you shoot will be useless. Especially "Extreme" and "Running Man" both involve pursuit. If the photographer does not have good physical strength, he will be thrown away in minutes.
In "R", didn't VJ Quan Lie not run for a long time, resulting in loss? At this time, other VJs need to catch up.
And this time, the variety show "Report to the Coach" was produced by China itself. It is also the first time that I have tried to shoot a variety show outside the studio. This can be said to be a bold attempt. Although there may be some lack of experience, it is also good to dare to try. Zhang Pingan gave some shooting experience he learned in Korea.
After he pointed out that there were not enough accompanying photographers on the scene, the director immediately pointed out the fixed camera positions on the scene.
This made Zhang Pingan laugh. "The fixed camera positions on the scene are mostly used to shoot panoramic views, while the accompanying VJ is to shoot everyone's status. For example, you see, the photographer over there keeps sliding the camera when capturing close-ups of the members chatting. In the later editing of the lens, there will be obvious lens shaking. If each member is equipped with a photographer, there will be no such problem. The lens is fixed during editing, and there will be no obvious shaking. I also know that the venue is limited here, but I think the cameraman only needs to set up cameras on the left and right sides. One is responsible for three guests, and the lens is pulled away to put all three in. When they start talking, they will zoom in when they need a close-up. Not every lens needs to zoom in for a close-up."
The camera position of this program has some problems, which may be limited by the venue. Because before entering the water, this group of people were standing on the not very spacious waterside for filming, but Zhang Pingan didn't know how the director arranged the positions. The performers all faced the swimming pool, which made the originally narrow foothold even narrower.
If they all stood facing the direction of the aisle, it would be much more relaxed for filming. But Zhang Pingan felt that the program was arranged like this, mostly for safety considerations, right? After all, if the person standing by the pool fell, the program team would have a hard time arguing with the star and the agent. You have to know that artists in China are very precious, and they are not as relaxed as in Japan and South Korea, because the other two countries dare to do anything to amuse the audience, and even if they are pranked, the artists never get angry.
Japan's pranks, Korean comedy shows' body funny. Let's not talk about Japan's pranks,
Japanese variety shows can think of all kinds of tricks, and dare to implement them, and the artists are willing to endure the teasing on TV shows. Korean body comedy is similar to the slapping in "Comedy Concert". Of course, it is not the kind of slapping that is done when angry, but a slap with appropriate strength, or a slap on the head, etc., sacrificing one's body appropriately for the sake of comedy. This does not mean that being slapped is equivalent to being insulted.
But it is different in China. Chinese artists are too precious, so precious that it cannot be described. The spirit of enduring hardship may still be seen in those "extras", but once artists become famous, they are extremely delicate. If they accidentally fall into the swimming pool, they will be angry at the least, and they will go on strike at the worst. If things go wrong, the director will have to pretend to be a grandson and say endless good things.
In China, directors who can speak tough will not do variety shows. Well, it seems that the only variety show director in China is quite tough, that is "Spring Festival Gala", but this show is only once a year, on weekdays
After listening to Zhang Ping'an's suggestion, the program director nodded thoughtfully and said, "For outdoor experience, it seems that we still have to learn from South Korea. After all, they started shooting outdoor scenes many years earlier than us. This is just a fixed scene of the swimming venue. If it is really shot during exercise like "Running Man", it will probably be more difficult."
Zhang Ping'an said his suggestion, "The camera is too heavy to carry. It's okay to carry it when you are not running, but once there is a chase scene, it is not so convenient to carry it while running. So when running, the Korean program team will use a camera and portable cameras. The current cameras and portable cameras can actually produce pretty good images. Perhaps the three different photographic equipment will have different brightness levels in the later stage, which only needs to be modified when editing the film. "
The director of the program nodded and said, "I have seen the Korean version of "Running Man". How many cameras do they use to shoot a show?"
Zhang Pingan said, "Use cameras? It's hard to say. It depends on the size of the final shooting venue. If the venue is large, set up a few more fixed cameras. Generally, there are about 40 to 60 staff members on the scene for shooting a show. For large-scale projects, 80 on-site staff members are deployed. "
Listening to the number of staff members involved in filming a large-scale project, the director's eyes widened. "Eighty? How many people are there in a program group?"
Zhang Pingan responded, "For example, a program group based on the "r" you have watched, their team is only about ten people. There are three or four directors, and the rest are all program writers. Writers account for the majority of a program group. For each program, more than ten of them hold meetings to discuss the location, program content, etc. Um, the photographers, sound groups, etc. you see are all outsourced teams. The program group controls the process and shooting of the program."
Listening to the outsourced team mentioned by Zhang Pingan, the director was a little surprised. "Can the outsourced team in South Korea take on such a large program?"
Zhang Pingan said, "The outsourcing team in South Korea is a company. Because there are so many TV programs there, and they are also very concentrated, so they are developing relatively fast. Think about it, there are still many students graduating from professional colleges every year, but there are not too many regular editors in TV stations every year, so most of these graduates will choose to join such filming companies. When the company grows bigger, it can take on large-scale programs from any TV station."
"That's right~~ Many film and television photography majors in China are still working as temporary workers in Hengdian after graduation."
Yes, there are countless supporting actors in Hengdian, and there are also countless graduates of directing majors seeking a living there. After all, it is difficult for new directors to find works for you to start directly after graduation. Most of them can only serve as temporary photography groups in film and television bases. If you have strong skills and are favored by big directors, you can go to the set to do photography, learn, and accumulate, and slowly there will be investors willing to invest in your filming.
It is not so easy to be a famous director, so more people who graduate from the "director" major would rather participate in the TV station recruitment. Even if they know that they will receive a fixed salary after entering the company and it is impossible for them to become famous, they can still get a stable income.
In China, although the family conditions of the other party need to be considered when choosing a spouse, if the other party has a stable job, such as a civil servant, it is a big plus!
Although those who are slightly beautiful want to catch the rich second generation, there are not so many rich second generations for them to catch. In the end, more people still choose the one with suitable family conditions and a stable job.
After a brief chat with the director, he took the process book in his hand and went to discuss with the performers. At this time, Zhang Pingan made a drinking gesture to Xika, indicating that he was going to buy coffee.
From a distance, Xika smiled and nodded to show that he understood.
After Zhang Pingan and his agent came out of the swimming pool, they opened the map to see the nearby Starbucks. This place is not far from Starbucks. Zhang Pingan took his agent to Starbucks to sell more than a dozen cups of coffee, and bought some Frappuccinos and lemon tea, because not everyone in China is used to drinking coffee.
When he and his agent returned to the set with their things, Xika began to rest. Zhang Pingan, his agent, and Xika were distributing drinks and coffee to everyone. The weather in Yanjing was already over 30 degrees in April.
On this day, Zhang Pingan accompanied Xika to shoot the show like an agent. This made Xika very happy during the shooting.
The other artists present also greeted Zhang Pingan in a friendly manner.
Zhang Pingan also met the "Little Cage Girl" from Taiwan in the program group. Zhang Pingan smiled and said to her, "I watched the "The Return of the Condor Heroes" you starred in."
She said self-deprecatingly, "You want to talk about my chicken leg shape?"
"Puff~~" Zhang Pingan didn't expect her to be so cheerful. She said "chicken leg shape" when she opened her mouth. Zhang Pingan couldn't help laughing. Zhang Pingan apologized while laughing.
The 'Little Dragon Girl' said generously, "It doesn't matter. I've been laughed at by netizens anyway. Now I regret it so much! There was Li Ruotong before and Liu Tianxian after. I really shouldn't have challenged the role of a 'goddess'."
It has to be said that Li Ruotong and Liu Tianxian, the 'Little Dragon Girl' played by the two of them, really left a deep impression on the audience of "The Return of the Condor Heroes".
They are really beautiful 'aunts'. And the 'Gugu' she played looks like a chicken leg on his head
