    Cheng Peng did not explain in detail to Zhang Meng and others what DIT was. He just told them that with this thing, they could edit while filming. After the filming phase was over, the film could be ready for trial screening.  It seems like a fantasy that the movie can be previewed right after filming. However, everyone knows that Cheng Peng is not a bully. They are all full of expectations and ready to see this magical thing.  Five days later, all the location scenes were filmed, and the crew returned to the capital and began filming the scenes in the cave in the studio of Beijing Film Studio.  At the shooting scene, Cheng Peng held an electric horn and said loudly: "When shooting with film, when they hear the clicking sound of the film rotating, many people will think that they are burning money and feel nervous. Now you don't have to  Don¡¯t worry, we will use digital cameras to shoot the next scene, so everyone, please relax! ¡± Soon, the first deputy director Zhang Meng told Cheng Peng that the actors, lighting, photography,  The recording team is all ready.  Following Zhang Meng's shout, the staff all went to their posts.  Cheng Peng took a breath and shouted in a loud voice: "Turn on!" "Start!"  "This one passed!" "No problem, this one passed!"  "This shot passed, today's shooting  That¡¯s it!¡± Cheng Peng announced with a smile.  The members of the crew also relaxed, joking and starting to pack up their equipment.  "Mr. Smith, connect the machine and we are ready to work!" Cheng Peng said to the three DITs. They have been on the set for two days and today is their first time to start work. They are digital imaging engineers and are responsible for digital imaging.  processing.  Smith and the others began to connect the equipment, while Cheng Peng waved to Chen Shaoping and the others, saying: "Shaoping, Mengzi, Qinian, you guys come over here, we are going to see the samples!" When shooting traditional film movies, the director has a monitor.  Look, but the footage seen by the monitor is different from what is captured by the camera. Changes in focus, color, and many other things cannot be reflected. Looking at the monitor is mainly about watching the actors' performances, not the actual shooting effect.  For film movies, a thousand-foot roll of film can be shot for ten minutes. After the film is shot in Hollywood, it will be sent to the film laboratory for development, light matching, and printing. The sample will be released the next day, so that the director can see if there is any problem with the lens.  ; However, there are no Hollywood conditions in China. After all the scenes have been shot, the film will be developed intensively. Only then will the director know what his movie will look like.  The advantage of digital movies is that you don¡¯t have to wait for a long time. You can see the real image effects at the shooting scene. You can even take a shot and see the actual effect before taking the next shot.  Although Zhang Meng and the others have never shot digital movies, they still have some understanding of digital movies. When they heard about watching the samples, they put down what they were doing and walked towards Cheng Peng.  Although Xu Jinlei has the status of a director, he knows little about digital technology. He was a little surprised: "Can you see the samples directly?" Cheng Peng smiled and nodded, and said: "Old Xu, if you are interested, let's take a look!"  Three digital engineers connected the equipment to a large-screen TV. After starting the machine, the first shot of the day appeared on the screen.  After playing this shot several times, Cheng Peng found no flaws, so he asked: "What do you think?" "No problem!" "There are no problems with composition, zoom, and performance." "How is the color?" Cheng Peng asked.  "I think a little blue can be added in the later stage to make the overall style more grim!" Cheng Peng agrees with this view. Horror films need to create a cold and deep feeling, and the colors should be mainly cold. But with DIT color grading, there is no need to wait.  In the later stage, he directly said to Smith: "Add a little blue to the picture!" Smith picked up the mouse, clicked on the software, clicked on a value, adjusted it, and a layer of light blue was quickly added to the movie picture.  Zhang Meng and the others were all dumbfounded. When they were filming "Two of Us", at Hualong Digital's workstation, they were impressed when they saw the technicians adjusting the color of the movie screen through the DI system. But now they can adjust the color directly on the set.  Okay, this is too advanced!  "The color is too dark, make it lighter!" Cheng Peng stared at the screen and directed Smith to adjust the color.  "Make it lighter!" After a simple adjustment, the picture glowed with a faint blue, and the feeling of desertion came over the face. The picture effect was much stronger than at the beginning.  Cheng Peng was quite satisfied with the effect and turned around and asked, "What do you think of the effect?"Wang Qinian shook his head and said: "It feels a bit blue, it should be lighter!" Cheng Peng asked Smith to lighten the color a little further. This time, the blue was almost invisible, but the deserted effect was still there, and the overall feeling was very harmonious.  "Okay, that's it, the next shot!" It took nearly an hour. Except for one shot that had a zoom problem and needed to be reshot, the other shots were all color corrected.  Cheng Peng felt relaxed all over, stood up and moved around, and said with a smile: "Next, Smith and the others will back up these processed shots, and then hand them over to the editor for editing. After the movie is shot, the editing work for the scene in the cave will be over.  It¡¯s done, how about it? I didn¡¯t lie to you, did I?¡± Zhang Meng was amazed: ¡°This thing is really advanced. The color was adjusted directly on the spot. It¡¯s no problem to put these shots on the big screen!¡±  He also sighed quite a bit: "It's really amazing!" "The only feeling I have now is that all the secrets of me as a photographer have been revealed by you. I hate this thing!" Chen Shaoping was a little emotional. In the past, they were the only photographers.  It¡¯s so embarrassing for people who know what the samples will look like, and now everyone can see them immediately after taking the photos.  Cheng Peng glanced at Chen Shaoping and said: "Actually, this has only started in Hollywood for a year or two, but it is a trend. The digital age of movies has really arrived. We must follow this trend. You, a photographer, are more  That¡¯s right! How about sending you to the American Broadcasting Association for training after the film is finished?¡± Chen Shaoping said proudly: ¡°Okay, it¡¯s just a good time to let those foreigners see the skills of our Chinese photographers and use my superb skills to pick up girls.  Technology, two beautiful foreign photographers came back as assistants!" This shameless words and deeds made everyone roll their eyes. Zhang Meng laughed and said: "Xiao Peng, you might cause some trouble if you send him out.  Don't worry, it will become a national humiliation!" Chen Shaoping said angrily: "Zhang Meng, you are just jealous that I am more handsome than you!" "DIT will not appear in China for seven or eight years. It is considered that Cheng Peng has introduced this concept into China now.  It has promoted the progress of Chinese films. Of course, as this concept spreads, it is also a way to make money.  But the most important thing now is to promote this concept. He glanced at Xu Jinlei who was standing beside him and asked: "Old Xu, how is this technology?" Xu Jinlei nodded: "It is indeed very convenient. What is the cost? Isn't it very good?  "High?" "Not high. It's much cheaper than using film. If you use film, the cost of film alone will be more than 300,000, plus the cost of processing and lighting, it will be 700,000 to 800,000. And your leading actor is  Jiang Wen, he is very picky about the picture and lens. Others use film ratio of 1:10, but he wants at least 1:20, and the cost will be doubled. If you need it, we can provide corresponding technical support. " Xu Jinlei is a little bit!  Tempting, the budget of her film is limited, and the cost problem has always been a headache for her: "You can try it, I know you are good at makeup, and I don't need to find anyone else, let's do it together then!" But she immediately started laughing again: "Also  You, I¡¯ll keep the second male lead for you!¡± The role for ¡°Letter from an Unknown Woman¡± was quickly decided, which was an unexpected surprise. For a special effects team, the only thing is to keep accepting projects and movies.  , in order to develop and grow, Vita is like this, and BASEFX is like this.  The filming went very smoothly in the next few days, and it soon entered June. However, an unexpected change occurred at this time. The crew of "A World Without Thieves" asked Li Binbin to join the set immediately. They wanted to film Li Binbin.  play.  "Director, I'm really sorry. I didn't expect things to turn out like this." Li Binbin was very helpless. At first, she agreed that she would join the cast of "A World Without Thieves" in late June, but now "A World Without Thieves" has asked her to join the cast.  She had no choice at all.  She is from Huayi, so she will definitely give priority to Huayi's dramas. Even if she is not from Huayi, she will definitely choose "A World Without Thieves". After all, she is the second female lead in "A World Without Thieves", and she is the second female lead in "A World Without Thieves".  The director of "The Thief" is more famous, and the actors have stronger plastic surgery.  Cheng Peng suppressed the anger in his heart, took a deep breath, and said: "Binbin, your role in "A World Without Thieves" is not particularly large. If you coordinate the schedule, you can skip the scenes and run back and forth on both sides. You should be able to complete the filming on time.  !¡± ¡°Coaxing is a very common phenomenon, especially in Hong Kong in the 1990s. From the king Andy Lau to the supporting actor Cheng Kui¡¯an, almost every actor will travel between several crews.  However, filming in China is more troublesome, because most of the crews are stationed in different cities and need to travel back and forth. However, this still happens a lot. For example, Fan Binbin took advantage of the break from filming "East Wind and Rain" to film "October Siege".  Of course, the actor had a dispute with the crew because of the incident., and there were a lot of things that ended up in court.  Li Binbin plays a supporting role on both sides, and his role is not particularly large. If everyone coordinates and leaves space, it will not be a big problem.  Unexpectedly, Li Binbin smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Director, I told Director Feng, but he didn't agree and asked me to join the team. I really have no choice." Cheng Peng frowned and said: "Director Feng Xiaogang  Give me your phone number and I¡¯ll discuss it with him!¡±
