"Electronic controllers are used in several types of machinery, and they are all very important. For example, when the rocker arm is rotating, the controller can make the camera platform rotate at a specified speed, so that although the rocker arm is rotating, the camera's pointing It can be unchanged. Even when the crane is rotating, pitching, and retracting, the camera can fix a pointing point.”
Commissioner Jiang: "Then can this kind of platform be used for shooting hot air balloons and airplanes?"
Tang Hua: "Of course, but hot air balloons and airplanes don't need to be developed separately, so we won't show them today."
"Let Tang Xiaodan, Sun Yu, and their photographers come over now and learn to use these equipment. You can batch thousands of feet of film for them and learn for a month." Jiang said.
……
"Zhao Dan? I'm Zhou Xuan."
"The script of the movie Commissioner Jiang pointed out has been revised, and there is Wu Xun in it. Of course, you will act in this Wu Xun."
"The script has been greatly revised. My husband participated in the revision. I guarantee that the Wu Xun in it will definitely not be awkward. All the characters in it will not be awkward. Let's just say that director Tang Xiaodan has read the script after the major revision, so he is willing to come. directed a movie."
"That's great, thank you!"
Next to Zhou Xuan, Tang Hua was playing with a somewhat special slide projector in the living room.
A negative is put into a slide projector, and the image hits a curtain on the wall.Tang Hua has two lenses in his hand.
Putting one of the lenses close to my eyes, I looked over with one eye, and I couldn't see anything from the bright slideshow image on the wall.
Put another lens in front of your eyes, and look at it with one eye, and the slideshow images are displayed normally again.
"This is much better than red and blue lenses..." Tang Hua said to Zhou Xuan.
Chapter 65, Replicating the Field Artillery Computer
The earliest 3D movies appeared in 1922, also known as red and blue stereoscopic movies.The lens of the left eye filters out the blue content of the picture, and only sees the red part, while the right eye filters out the red, and the left and right eyes see different pictures and produce a three-dimensional effect.
The problem with red and blue lenses is that the color distortion of the picture is serious, and green fringing/blue fringing cannot be avoided.It's hardly a viewing experience.
In the late 30s, the principle of polarizing glass was discovered, and then some people planned to use it in 3D movies.Now the first polarized 3D theater appeared in the United States in 1952 and officially opened in 1953, so the polarized system developed by Tang Hua is not the first in the world, probably the first in China and Eastern Soviet countries.
However, although the polarization display stereoscopic picture is not the first in the world, but now this system has a basically zero-error left and right player playback synchronizer.
Before the 90s, a high proportion of people felt dizzy and nauseous watching 3D movies. That is, when the left and right cameras were playing, the frames (films) were not synchronized. As long as there was a difference of one frame between the left and right, the left and right eyes had to quickly adjust the focus to adapt to the picture, and of course they would feel dizzy. up.
(Of course, this synchronization problem is completely and completely solved, leading to the later era of digital 3D movies.)
So much high-tech equipment is piled up just in case the script gets screwed up again this time. With these technical means alone, "Song Jingshi" can also become a classic.
……
Song Jingshi is from Shandong, and his hometown is the next door to Wuxun.He revolted in 1860 and became a part of the Black Banner Army. A year later, he was defeated by Shengbao and forced to surrender to the Qing Army. In 1863, he broke away from the Qing Army and revolted again.The last battle that he participated in was the battle where various rebels joined forces to kill Seng Gelinqin. After the war, Song Jingshi disappeared.
In 1951, the central government criticized "The Biography of Wu Xun" and ordered Shanghai Film Group to go to Shandong to conduct a new visit to the people. It was accidentally discovered that there was an uprising general named Song Jingshi in the town next to Wu Xun.Committee member Jiang thought it was possible to make a movie about this person, which was "Song Jingshi" in 1955.
The movie "Song Jingshi" was discovered by ancient war lovers on the Internet in the 21st century, and it is known as the pinnacle of Chinese ancient war movies.Because the taste of service in it is too upright, from the leading role to the group performances are very professional, the lineup is well-organized, and it kills all the current ancient costume traffic dramas in seconds.
This is also very normal. "Song Jingshi" uses the arsenal of the regiments trained in the Qing Dynasty found locally. The ancient battlefields and watchtowers on the crenels are also relics of the past. There are many old people in the countryside who have seen how the Qing Dynasty fought. The textual research was very serious at the time, so the taste is very positive.
However, although "Song Jingshi" is rigorous in textual research, even fans of ancient warfare unanimously admit that it is really lackluster in terms of plot and shooting skills.The narrative of the movie is very boring, with a single clue, a straightforward narrative, and the filming is done step by step according to the order of the characters' lives.
At the beginning of the film, Seng Gelinqin, Shengbao, and a group of Qing soldiers swayed on the screen for 10 minutes, and Song Jingshi has not yet appeared.What about the agreed three golden chapters straight to the point?
Then finally Song Jingshi rebelled against donations, Song Dashuai won, and his soldiers wanted to go back to collect millet, but they were defeated by the Liulin regiment's internal and external cooperation, and Song Dashuai was forced to surrender.
Shengbao was defeated, Song Dashuai made a clever plan to escape, and led the team back to his hometown. He wanted to take revenge against the Liulin regiment, but found out that the master Wang Erxiang was an undercover agent, and killed him.Then, the line breaks...
Then Marshal Song and Seng Gelinqin fought desperately, and when they were about to win, the foreign gun team came, and the foreign gun team lost.
Liu Lintuan copied Song Dashuai's hometown in the back, relatives and family members died all over the place, and everyone was very sad and angry.Marshal Song said to bear with it, and destroy Seng Gelinqin first!
Finally, Seng Gelinqin was killed.At this time, Song Jingshi should go back to the teacher to settle accounts with Liu Lintuan, right? ... Willow?What willows?This is the end of the movie!
When Tang Hua watched "Song Jingshi" before, he had the idea of "I can do such a bad script if I do it".
"The Southern Expedition and the Northern War" and "The Reconnaissance of Crossing the River" are already classics. If Tang Hua intervenes, it will still be a classic, and it doesn't make much sense (there is still a small probability of overturning).Besides, from 51 to 53, there was no time to take care of such things.
But "Song Jing Poetry" is worth trimming and trimming.It is still far from the ceiling, there is room for improvement.
……
As for how the script fell into Tang Hua's hands——
"Song Scene Poems" was originally going to be made into the anti-coordinate "Wu Xun Biography", allowing Shanghai Film to reverse its reputation in historical movies, so the superior asked to add Wu Xun as the villain in "Song Scene Poems".
However, Chen Baichen and Jia Ji, the screenwriters of "Song Jingshi", refused to revise the draft.After Tang Hua took the script, he changed it drastically. Except that he still didn't join Wu Xun, everything else was changed beyond recognition.The screenwriter saw it and thought, well, just give you the pen, and you write it.
Then Tang Hua really changed...
It refers to the mature model of film scripts of later generations (assembly-line works), what should be highlighted should be omitted, the contradictions and conflicts will be more concentrated and compact, and the exciting point of the plot will be forced for a certain period of time. The last big exciting point is the climax of the whole film. .
After the major structural adjustments, Tang Hua had to find someone to help with language, that is, Mr. Pingshu, whom he asked the chief accountant for help.Tang Hua wrote the first draft of the lines, determined the basic meaning of the passage, and Mr. Pingshu translated it into the correct way of speaking at that time (or the way people in the 50s thought people in the 19th century should speak).
In addition to referring to the principles and specifications of later scripts, Tang Hua also found a similar movie and modified the theme of "Song Jingshi".
……
The shooting equipment and shooting machinery customized by the industrial sector were shipped to Shanghai Film.There is no plane, but a hot air balloon has been found. Tang Xiaodan is trying to hang the photographer and camera on the hot air balloon.
"Ready? Get up!"
After getting rid of the cable, the hot air balloon rose into the air tens of meters, and the operator adjusted the buoyancy of the balloon to roughly stabilize at a height of more than 60 meters, and then drifted westward with the wind.
"Shanghai Film has used hot air balloon aerial photography before," Tang Hua asked Director Tang, "The photographer should not have to experience it."
"The previous ones are not counted. At that time, we used hot air balloons to shoot high-rise commercials and landscape films in Shanghai. This is the first time we used them in a feature film."
In the script, the second scene shot is a long-distance aerial shot, and Tang Hua also drew a few schematic diagrams.The plane started from the sky above Mount Tai, and then headed west all the way. The scenery switched from mountains to plains, and then a surging Yellow River appeared from the plains. After the Yellow River, there were plains again, and finally located in a village near Liaocheng—Song Jingshi’s hometown.
"What is this? Shot manuscript?" Director Tang flipped through the script and asked again.
Tang Hua: "Yes. Only... a part of the plot, I don't have time to draw the rest."
The storyboard manuscript/storyboard script converts text into picture description, and is an intermediate medium from script text to film.Some directors will actually draw the pictures of several particularly important sub-shots, instead of just describing the pictures with words.Each director’s storyboard has a different drawing style. For example, Zhang Yimou’s storyboard looks like an old comic strip, while Tsui Hark’s storyboard can be printed into a comic book.
Director Tang was lost in thought while holding the storyboard script that Tang Hua had drawn in the remaining time after writing the script.
"A circle represents the head, and four sticks represent the hands and feet. It's a little simpler." Tang Hua pointed to a few matchhead figurines on the paper. He; the man standing there..."
"Forget it, give it to me first," Sun Yu, the assistant director with a black face, took over the (small) mirror (student) first (student) foot (scribble) (scribble) book (grave), "I'm good at drawing, I Let's describe these again."
……
There are still two months before the start of "Song Jingshi", today's scene is not the official start of filming, but testing the water equipment.
