Perfect Life

Vol 5 Chapter 35: sharpen

It was very hot, Zhong Yuanfu sat on the chair with his shirtless, and said indifferently, "Strange? What's so strange?"

Zhou Baoshan heard the words and said: "We have seen many crews filming martial arts scenes before. How can they be filmed like this? With such a long shot, who doesn't shoot them one by one? But why does the leader want to shoot together like this?"

Zhong Yuanfu raised his head and glanced at him, "You ask me, who should I ask?"

After a pause, he said again: "If I knew, I would still play tricks? Go to the director earlier!"

Zhou Baoshan heard the meaning of his senior brother's words, smiled embarrassedly, touched his head, and said: "I have no other intentions, I mainly think that the director made such a film, many times the problem was caused by me, I don't know. How much film is wasted, I think...I think..."

"Excuse me?" Zhong Yuanfu asked.

Zhou Baoshan nodded embarrassedly upon hearing this.

Although this is the first time that Zhong Yuanfu and Zhou Baoshan have seriously participated in the filming of a play, they have been in Jinhua Film and Television City for more than two years before, whether it is a movie or a TV series, one year After coming down, there were dozens of times in and out of various studios.

So, it's not just their first major role, but they don't lack experience on set.

Generally speaking, let’s not talk about movies, even if it’s a TV drama crew, as long as there are too many wasted shots, whether it’s because the actors’ performances are really not good enough, or because of other factors, as long as the filming process is not smooth , such as several consecutive shots of NG, etc., those producers and production directors and the like often show a distressed expression that scratches the soles of their feet!

And if what was wasted at this time was film footage, it would be even more... or that filmmaking is simply a money-burning sport! Those expensive films, it is said that a film is only enough for two or four minutes, but the price is always thousands of dollars! Once they heard a production assistant drink too much bragging, saying that the film used by their crew was imported, and the film cost more than 40,000 cuts in one minute!

They don't know the filming of "Once Upon a Time" or what film the crew used, but they can figure it out with a rough estimate. They wasted at least one and a half to two hours of film just today. Well, it's still six cameras shooting at the same time!

Therefore, the director did not say anything, and the production director was not at all dissatisfied, but Zhou Baoshan himself felt distressed first.

This kind of thing should definitely not be an actor's concern, but when Zhou Baoshan asked this question, Zhong Yuanfu really felt that he couldn't take it seriously-the two brothers and sisters had been playing tricks before, and somehow they were chosen to act in the movie. , Zhou Baoshan still plays the leading role! And it's Li Qian's actor!

Not to mention that the remuneration is hundreds of thousands of dollars, which was unearned for many years before. The point is, this is the hero of the leader's new movie. If this becomes popular in the future... that's really cool to think about!

And even the Pork Rong played by Zhong Yuanfu, after getting the script, he found out that this is by no means the role of a passerby as he had guessed before. In fact, there are quite a lot of roles in this supporting role!

Moreover, Zhou Baoshan took 300,000 as the male lead, and he also took 180,000 as an important male supporting actor!

This price may not be comparable to others, but compared with myself, it is really high enough!

Therefore, they are both very afraid that they are not doing well, and if they are fired, all this will be blind!

After thinking for a while, Zhong Yuanfu said, "Do you concentrate on tomorrow, so that you can quickly take this long shot?"

Zhou Baoshan scratched his head, "I think so too, but I don't know why, when no one else is in trouble, I'm always nervous, always afraid that something will go wrong with me, if I'm nervous, my movements will go out of shape. , or the rhythm is out of order! I finally made no mistakes, but I made mistakes in other places, and I acted in vain!"

When he said that, Zhong Yuanfu also scratched his head!

I shot for nearly a whole day today, and it was all Huang Feihong's shots. He didn't have any drama, so he just stood by and watched. Zhou Baoshan said all of this, he naturally saw it with his own eyes.

After thinking about it, his face became more and more serious, and suddenly said: "Or, while it's still early for bed, I'll go out with you to rehearse?"

After a pause, he said, "We can't control others not to make mistakes, so let's make sure we don't make mistakes! As long as you don't make mistakes once, there will always be one perfect!"

Zhou Baoshan's eyes had already lit up at this time, "Let's go to rehearsal by ourselves?...Okay!"

They went back to their rooms, put on their vests, and went up to the rooftop of the hotel.

…………

On the second day, it was still the same shot from yesterday, "click!" "click!" "click!" all the way.

When it was time for lunch, Lu Lingxi, who had been watching quietly, finally couldn't help but find an opportunity when no one was around, and asked Li Qian, "What's the purpose of this?"

Li Qian smiled and said, "grinding."

"grinding?" Lu Lingxi heard the words, full of puzzlement.

Although she is a professional, she has taught for many years in a top institution such as Shuntian Film Academy, and she is no stranger to movies, but when it comes to professional issues, you can talk about script, photography, art, etc. , but the only thing missing is the studio experience!

Don't mention that she once served as the assistant director of "My Sassy Girl", and she also served as the assistant director of "Princess Pearl". Those experiences can only be regarded as a foundation at best!

However, Li Qian is also very happy to pass on to her the experience he has learned from the set of the previous life, "If it is a group of veterans getting together, of course it doesn't have to be so troublesome, or else you can shoot TV series one by one. The camera moves slowly, filming and teaching and learning, and if it's a big deal, I'll just add some more shots later, just like Lao Han and you guys filmed "Princess of Pearl" before, but this one, you can't do it like that!"

Seeing Lu Lingxi appearing to be listening patiently, Li Qian smiled and said, "So, my solution is to throw them on the set, shoot and grind them again and again, until I use them as rookie actors to fear and harm the set. The nervousness is almost gone, and I am more relaxed about shooting, and it’s almost there!”

Hearing this, Lu Lingxi showed a surprised look, "You're just doing this, so you want to shoot this shot first? You want to shoot a long shot on purpose?"

Li Qian smiled, looking like he was beaten, "Yes!"

"Let the entire crew grind like this?"

Li Qian nodded and said nothing.

Lu Lingxi frowned, as if thinking about whether Li Qian was really feasible.

At this time, Li Qiancai laughed again: "Sharpening a knife does not cut wood by mistake, Mr. Lu!"

Lu Lingxi didn't seem to understand, but when she heard Li Qian teasing her with such a smile and calling her teacher again, she couldn't help but glance at him and cast a blank eye at him.

But then, she suddenly remembered an extremely important question, "How much film is wasted these days! You shoot over and over again, but all six cameras are on at the same time!"

Li Qian smiled and said, "It seems that you didn't observe carefully enough! Think back on it, did you really hear the sound of the film turning?"

Lu Lingxi was stunned when she heard the words, her mouth opened in surprise.

Not to mention, since yesterday, the film crew was officially turned on, and the camera must have been turned on, so she subconsciously thought that the camera must be transferring film, and in fact, the group of photographers did shoot every time. , will ask for a film change at about the same time, and everything will be made like the real thing!

So, she never thought of going anywhere else!

As a result, who would have guessed that Li Qian had instructed the photographers in advance that the camera was capturing the footage, but it didn't take any pictures at all, and they actually acted so alike!

After a long time, she couldn't help pointing at Li Qian, "So... so you..."

Li Qian smiled and walked away.

…………

The second day's shooting was once again announced before it got dark.

In the afternoon, Lu Lingxi paid special attention to it, and as expected, they found that these guys asked to change the film again and again, but in fact, it was the same few discs, and they really didn't change the film at all!

Lu Lingxi, who learned the truth, was quite speechless.

But aside from her, the atmosphere of the entire crew is getting more and more depressing and tense!

In the afternoon shooting, because I was stuck in such a scene for two consecutive days, and because such a scene required the cooperation of nearly 20 people including actors, photographers, and props, as long as there was a small problem with one person, it could only be Forced to stop shooting, but in fact, the atmosphere is so depressing, and the shot is so long, it is almost impossible for everyone to be completely free from any problems!

Therefore, on the set, Li Qian was very angry and lost his temper at many people!

Among them, the photographer Song Yupin was even scolded by him by pointing his nose. Many staff members on the set were horrified, but Lu Lingxi sighed helplessly: They both acted alike!

Fortunately, as soon as the filming was over, Li Qian immediately returned to a pleasant appearance, and he could chat and laugh with anyone—of course, a group of new actors, especially Zhou Baoshan and others, were almost all of them. Don't dare to approach him!

And just after dinner that night, this time, it was seven or eight actors who discussed it. Everyone went to the rooftop of the hotel together and started to practice and cooperate.

After getting the news, Li Qian just smiled, so that people don't have to worry about it.

The next morning, before the shooting started, Li Qian solemnly praised Zhou Baoshan, Zhong Yuanfu and others for their extra training, and encouraged them to shoot well and relax.

And it really started to shoot, and many people found that Li Qian's attitude seemed to have suddenly slowed down a lot!

At least, it was filmed in a big morning. Although everyone made a lot of mistakes, he rarely got angry. He just stood up from time to time to point out individual actors or photographers.

Then, until the third day of shooting, there was another big morning. After lunch, everyone took a break for about half an hour. After Li Qian carefully looked at the state of the actors and staff, he quietly Find Fu Xuelong and ask him to inform a few other people that they will take real shots in the afternoon!

Then, at the beginning of the afternoon, Lu Lingxi, who had been paying more attention to this, keenly captured the sudden sound of the camera's film turning.

…………

To be honest, the job of making movies and TV dramas is really a very boring thing, whether it is for actors or for the staff behind the scenes.

And if the same shot has been shot for three days in a row, the pressure and the feeling of boredom will make people collapse - just like yesterday afternoon, many people are on the verge of collapse, and the overall shooting quality is improving. Gradually getting better, the probability of everyone making mistakes is decreasing, but yesterday afternoon, the probability of making mistakes suddenly became extremely high!

If the entire team is not the staff of Minghu Culture, and everyone has been working together for several years, and the director sitting on the scene is Li Qian himself, maybe someone will rebel!

However, once the strength was over, especially this morning, Li Qian's attitude suddenly became much calmer, and everyone's state suddenly relaxed unconsciously!

And in the afternoon, Li Qian actually changed his attitude again. He didn't even have a word of criticism. Even if someone made a very low-level mistake, he smiled and encouraged everyone to do it again!

Then, when the fifth time was filmed, except for the two assistant directors, six photographers and Lu Lingxi who knew the inside story~www.wuxiaspot.com~ all the other actors and staff members were almost completely absent. When I was aware of it, I shot this scene unknowingly!

"Crack! It's over!"

Li Qian's voice sounded, "Perfect!"

Many people at the scene, including Zhou Baoshan and other actors, were all stunned for a moment—although the time had only passed two or three days, they were filming and filming over and over again. To be honest, They are almost numb to this part of the action and this part of the shooting!

Anyway, it's a cycle of "Prepare! Start!" - "Crack!"!

So much so that the director didn't shout "click" from start to finish for the first time, but after finishing this shot, the first thought in everyone's mind was, "I have to do it again. !" "Have to go back to the original position quickly!" and so on, but did not expect this scene to be finished!

Then, when everyone suddenly heard the word "passed", it was quite uncomfortable!

After being stunned, everyone looked at each other, "Over?"

Li Qian laughed and said loudly: "Everyone pay attention, rest for five minutes, and then prepare for the next shot!"

On the third day since "Once Upon a Time" was launched, it is finally time to start shooting the third shot!

The first shot was extremely simple, the second shot was extremely complicated, and the third shot was neither complicated nor simple, but it happened that the crew after the relaxation was only NG twice this time. , the third time passed smoothly!

The fourth shot, two passes!

Knowing all this from beginning to end, Lu Lingxi was stunned this afternoon!
