Chapter 104: Professor of Song History

Henan Kaifeng Film and Television City

8:20 AM

The entire crew was busy. Some actors had already put on their makeup and were standing in front of the fans enjoying the breeze.

It was the start of a very ordinary day of shooting.

Li Qi held the director’s viewfinder in his hand, found the position of the frame and the lens, walked back and forth, looked around, frowned slightly, and was obviously a little dissatisfied with the scenery.

After renting this filming location, the crew of”Legend of White Snake” has made some minor modifications to it, in order to better match the background setting and aesthetic orientation of the TV series”Legend of White Snake”.

But the work done at that stage is just to build a suitable frame. How to fill the interior, especially how to fine-tune the scenery that will be captured in the camera, still requires the director and photographer to carefully craft it step by step.

Now, this is a government office.

In theory, the ancient Chinese government offices had detailed regulations on even the width of the rooms and the furnishings inside.

If you travel around the country, you will find that there is basically no big difference between the main halls of all county offices.

Therefore, a county office of the Song Dynasty is a county office of the Song Dynasty, and the degree of adjustment that a director can make is limited.

No matter how awesome a director is, he cannot put a pot of flowers on the county magistrate’s desk just to make the picture look beautiful!

Therefore, for those who have a paranoid love for the beauty of the lens, it is very important to consider

After walking back and forth for a long time, Li Qi turned to Ning Hao and said,”I always feel that it lacks taste.”

Ning Hao was also thinking hard, and nodded when he heard this,”The picture will look a bit empty if it is cut out!”

Li Qi also nodded. His eyes swept over the pen holder, official seal, and token holder, and he reached out to hold his chin.

Beside them, Shen Ao, the stage manager, the assistant, and another photographer were also there, all looking at the equipment layout on the scene.

After a moment, Shen Ao’s eyes suddenly lit up. He said,”I got it, wait a minute.” As he spoke, he turned and ran away. After about 20 to 30 seconds, he came out with a lamp, walked to Li Qi, leaned sideways, followed his line of sight, looked at the scenery according to the angle of the camera, and then ran over. He poked the lamp on the big desk, turned his head to look at everyone, and asked,”How about this?”

Li Qi immediately picked up the viewfinder hanging on his chest, and Ning Hao bent down to look at the camera’s viewfinder. Then, almost at the same time, they both raised their heads and nodded. They looked slightly satisfied.

A lamp stand is nothing, but standing on the table will make the picture look less empty.

Shen Ao laughed when he saw this.

But after a moment, Li Qi examined the lampstand, frowned and thought about it, then shook his head,”No, this won’t work! The county magistrate in our play is not a pure and honest official who works hard for the people! At least, he is not the kind of person who would light a lamp and stay up late to handle cases here late at night.……”

He turned his head and looked at the Song Dynasty history consultant invited by the crew,”Professor Zhou, my knowledge of history is not very good. I have to ask you, in the lobby of the ancient county government, would the county magistrate stay up late to work here?”

Professor Zhou shook his head.”The main hall of the ancient county government is equivalent to our current No. 1 conference room. It is mainly used for attendance, meetings, receiving imperial edicts, and handling major cases, that is, public trials. So from a functional point of view, it also has some ceremonial functions……In ancient times, the court that was actually used to judge cases was the Second Court.” (To read the exciting novels, go to Flylu Novel Network!)

Li Qi nodded, and then said to Shen Ao:”So it is impossible for a lamp stand to appear here!”

Shen Ao shrugged, picked up the lamp, and walked over, shaking his head.

At this time, seeing that several people were still thinking hard, he couldn’t help but shake his head again and sighed,”I say, are we really shooting a TV series? It’s just one shot, and it’s a shot that follows the story. Basically, no audience will notice whether this shot is a little empty, but you have been thinking about it for almost 20 minutes.”

Hearing this, Li Qi sighed helplessly, turned his head and looked at Ning Hao, both of them looked helpless.

It is not difficult to make the lens full and three-dimensional, but the difficulty lies in making it conform to objective historical facts at all times and in all places. So if there is really no other way, the 3.5 lens has to be used.[]

At this time, Professor Zhou turned around and was about to speak, as if he was going to say something, but when he turned around and saw two extras playing the roles of jailers, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he clapped his hands suddenly,”We are all stupid!”

Everyone turned to look at him.

Professor Zhou pointed at the two extras and said,”Find two more actors to stand behind the table, one on each side!”

Li Qi and Ning Hao were stunned when they heard this.

Immediately, a white light flashed in their minds, and they suddenly realized
