    The preparations for the crew went very smoothly. With the recommendation of Zhao Linlin, the most important members of the crew were successively confirmed, including photographer Chen Shaoping, art designer Yu Duoduo, and sound engineer Li Zhenhao.  These people all graduated from the film academy and are the senior brothers of Zhao Linlin and Zhang Meng. They have been in the film industry for several years and know a lot of people.  Once they were in place, they quickly gathered a group of people and the crew was established.  Only the lighting engineer encountered trouble. The lighting engineer belongs to the photography team, but Cheng Peng did not push the search for a lighting engineer to the photographer Chen Shaoping, because the lighting engineer is too important, especially in this movie, the lighting is very big  The degree determines the success or failure of the movie, and he must personally check it.  In fact, for movies, lighting is as important as the photographer, art designer, and sound engineer. If the photographer is the director's arm, they turn the director's vision into a real picture; and the lighting engineer determines the quality of the picture.  For those who don't like the atmosphere, Cheng Peng would rather have a bad camera than a good lighting arrangement.  When it comes to the role of lighting, Korean TV dramas are a particularly obvious example.  Korean actors are really beautiful and glamorous?  Of course not, Chinese actors will definitely not be worse than them in appearance, or even better.  So why do actors in Korean film and television dramas look so glamorous?  In addition to the exquisite costumes and props, the most important reason is that Korea attaches great importance to lighting and the lighting is particularly good.  Cheng Peng interviewed several lighting technicians, but was never satisfied. These people did not understand computers, physics, or optical knowledge. Lighting relied on experience.  If he only considered completing the filming of "The Two of Us", these lighting engineers could be used, but he still hoped to find a high-level lighting engineer as his official choice once and for all.  Chen Shaoping felt very unhappy when Cheng Peng rejected the three lighting engineers he recommended. He pondered for a while and made new recommendations: "I do know a powerful lighting engineer who can meet your requirements, but this person is not easy to deal with.  "Oh, who is it? If it is a well-known lighting engineer, we will not consider it. We have limited funds." "It is a moderator of the lighting section of the Filmmaking Forum. His online name is Spielberg. This person is very good.  , it would be no problem if we could hire him for lighting, but he is very arrogant and hard to talk to. " "Oh, does this Spielberg have any works?" "I don't know, this guy is relatively mysterious, and he claims to have filmed it.  Movie, but he didn't say what movie it was, and no one knew his true identity." Chen Shaoping had no expression on his face, but he said in his heart, go ahead, you self-righteous guy, wait until Spielberg scolds you all over.  Bao, let¡¯s see what you say then!  In the evening, Cheng Peng came to the Internet cafe, clicked on the lighting section of the filmmaking forum, and looked through the posts written by Spielberg. He felt that this person did have two skills, but as Chen Shaoping said, this person had a high self-esteem and was very arrogant.  Cheng Peng knows that for such an arrogant guy, it will definitely not work if you tell him properly, but if you can defeat him, he will obey you, which is the same as training a horse.  He immediately registered an ID called "King of the World" and posted a post on the forum with the title: "I want to make a movie to participate in the Berlin Film Festival and am looking for a high-level lighting engineer." After a few minutes of browsing online,  Cheng Peng reopened the post and found that several people had replied to his post, including Spielberg.  Several replies were sarcastic, but Spielberg was even more direct: "A self-righteous guy never looks at his own worth." Cheng Peng immediately laughed, the fish took the bait, and immediately replied: "Then you  Who do you think you are? Haha, the film I made will definitely be selected for the Berlin Film Festival. What about you? " Spielberg quickly replied: "Boy, do you think the Berlin Film Festival is just a house?  If you can make a movie and be shortlisted, you are too underestimated. " "I didn't underestimate the movie. If I had underestimated the movie, I would have said that my movie would win the Golden Bear, but I didn't, because I knew it would.  In addition to the quality of the film itself, there are many other factors involved in winning an award, such as the judges¡¯ preferences, etc. But one thing is for sure, as long as the film is good enough, it will definitely be shortlisted, and my film is a good enough film!¡±  Spielberg got a little angry: "Ignorant kid! Don't you want to recruit professional lighting engineers? I am a professional lighting engineer. I will ask you a few questions. As long as you can answer them, I will do lighting for you for free.  "Teacher!" That's what I'm waiting for!  Cheng Peng replied with a smile: "We have made an agreement, if you have any questions, just ask!" "The camera is facing the actors, only the main light is used, what is the effect of shooting from a 45-degree angle, what is the effect of 90 degrees, and 135 degrees  What is the effect? ??What is the effect of 180 degrees? " Let me go, the basics of lighting.?Knowledge, this guy treats me like a rookie!  Cheng Peng smiled disdainfully and replied: "Lighting from a 45-degree angle, and there is no auxiliary light, the side face has more shadows and is heavier, making the character look thinner than the real person. It is mostly used in darker movies; from  When lighting at an angle of 90 degrees, one side of the entire face is bright and half is in shadow. The contrast is strong and is often used to express both evil and righteous characters. At 135 degrees, only the side face is lit and most of the entire face is in shadow.  , this lighting method is mostly used when the murderer appears; 180-degree lighting, the face is completely in darkness, this lighting is used to show mysterious characters, such as government officials in Hollywood movies. " "This is just an introduction.  Level knowledge, now comes a slightly more difficult question, how should the lighting be used when the actors move? "It is much more difficult to deal with the lighting when the actors are moving than to use lights to illuminate a single area, but this is also in the movie.  The most basic lighting method during filming cannot help Cheng Peng: "When lighting an actor, he must first draw a clear movement map, then determine the exact position of the movement, and determine the specific area that needs to be emphasized, such as a woman.  Opening the door and walking into the room, the entire area where she walked needed to be illuminated with light. But when she walked to the sofa and lay down, three-point lighting was used to outline the whole person.  " "Boy, it seems that you still have some knowledge of lighting, and you are not completely new. Here is a bit of a difficult question, how to light when setting up a green screen in a movie? " "Hey, I am recruiting a lighting technician.  You are not applying for a job as a lighting technician, so why do you keep asking me about lighting? " "What, you can't answer it? If you can't answer it, just give up and get out of the filmmaking forum!" " Very few domestic films use green screens," Cheng Peng said.  He doesn't have any experience in this area, but that doesn't mean he doesn't understand.  Green screen technology is also called chroma key technology. Simply put, some movie scenes cannot be filmed or are difficult to film. For example, when filming scenes in outer space, it is impossible for actors to actually go to space to film them. During actual filming,  Just put a piece of green cloth on the background. During post-production, use computer software to cut out the green background and replace it with the scene required for the movie, which is similar to a PS photo.  Green screen lighting sounds very simple. Anyway, the green screen needs to be replaced. All you need to do is light up the green screen. But in fact it is not like that. Before the official shooting of the movie "Gravity" started, the director spent more than two years designing it.  The lighting problem of movies shows how complicated it is.  Cheng Peng replied: "Green screen lighting must consider the light source. We cannot see the light source on the green screen, but after the green screen is replaced with a real scene, there may be light sources, so we must simulate the light of the real environment. According to  The lighting needs to be done in a real environment; secondly, the green screen needs to be illuminated with lights, and the light must be uniform to facilitate post-cutting.¡± After answering, before Spielberg could ask again, Cheng Peng asked first: ¡°You can¡¯t always ask me.  , let me ask you. In a scene like this, a killer is digging a hole with a shovel to bury a body in the middle of the night. If it were you, how would you turn on the lights?  The scene described has a heavy atmosphere. The lighting should highlight the blurred effect and create a scary atmosphere. I will set up two lights, one in front and one behind, and a high-power light at the back, 5000 watts, with blue light to create a faint blue.  The background highlights the effect of night, with a light in front" The two of them went back and forth and got into each other in the forum.  Most of the netizens on the filmmaking forum are novices, but there are also many professionals like Chen Shaoping, and Lu Chuan and Guan Hu also appear from time to time.  Spielberg is one of the forum's great figures. Professionals like Lu Chuan have to say a word of admiration when they see him.  Spielberg got into a fight with someone, which immediately attracted the attention of the entire forum. New posts appeared on all pages, "Spielberg took action!", "The lighting version of Spielberg started fighting with someone!"  ", "The God of Sri Lanka is starting a fight, come and watch!" In a very short period of time, countless netizens came to leave comments on the fight between Cheng Peng and Spielberg, and the entire page refreshed at a very high speed.  "This is the new Xiaobai, he's so jumpy! Haha, if he bumps into Si Shen's hand, it's going to be a tragedy!" "Hahaha, Si Shen hasn't made a move for a long time, I'm here to leave a name!" "  Si Shen, kill him instantly!¡± ¡°You dare to fight with Si Shen, Xiaobai is so brave now. Lu Chuan was defeated last time, I didn¡¯t expect anyone to dare to come to kill him!¡±¡­¡°Xiaobai basically all come to us.  His name was left behind and he was ridiculed in all kinds of ways, but the professionals still saw that he was at the level of the king of the world.  "This guy is not a novice. He is very skilled. Is he the vest of some great god?" "This guy is definitely a director, and he has a good knowledge of lighting. He is not an ordinary person!" "Well, it's quite impressive, but he made a big mistake. He shouldn't compete with Spielberg on lighting knowledge. He definitely won't be able to compete. Spielberg is a professional lighting engineer, so he is already at a disadvantage!  ¡± ¡­ Cheng Peng is indeed at a disadvantage, and he cannot win when it comes to lighting knowledge. However, when faced with Spielberg¡¯s professional questions, Cheng Peng always analyzes and answers from the director¡¯s perspective. Although he is at a disadvantage, he is not defeated, and even  They could fight back from time to time. As the debate deepened, the topics between the two gradually expanded, from lighting to photography, from photography to art, and spread to all aspects of film. In this way, the situation gradually reversed, and Cheng Peng began to take over.  With the upper hand, he launched waves of attacks and asked questions one after another, while Spielberg was gradually at a disadvantage and could only be tired of dealing with the netizens on the forum, whether they were novices or veterans.  Well, professionals and professionals alike were all dumbfounded. Seeing this state, Si Shen was about to lose. This king of the world is so awesome. Who is he?
