Chapter 164: Difficult "Snow Scene" Shooting
Black Province, Mushi
Snow town, this place has a long snow period, frequent snowfall, and the snow period is as high as 7 months, known as the first snow volume and snow scene in China.
The real scene of the forest farm and Erlong Mountain in "Crossing the Guandong" is in Snow Town, and the crew built two houses at the foot of a mountain root, with the forest farm on the front and Erlong Mountain on the back.
After coming to Snow Town for filming, the crew of "Breaking through the East" went up to Zuo Le and down to ordinary group performances, and they felt a word.
It's so cold.........
If everyone was freezing like a grandson when they were filming in Jinchang before, then now when they come to Snow Town, they are freezing like a great-grandson... No, it should be like a great-grandson.
The average outdoor temperature reaches more than minus 36 degrees Celsius, and even nearly minus 40 degrees Celsius at night.
It is no exaggeration to say that the foot wearing shoes stands in the snow for a maximum of five minutes, and then he is directly unconscious.
If you dare to take off your gloves and bare your hands outdoors for more than a minute, that is the iron and blood of the real Han (sha).
When the crew first came, they filmed a scene where Zhen Sanjiang held a feast in Erlongshan Cottage and toasted with the bandits.
Among them, the prop wine, the crew used mineral water instead, but I didn't expect it to fall down, and the water froze into ice in just two minutes.
At that time, everything was scheduled for the actors' group performances, and it was definitely too late to replace the water with wine, Zuo Le simply changed all the shots to long shots, and he didn't dare to shoot the bowl in the hands of the bandits.
That's it, the crew of "Breaking through the Guandong" finished filming the scenes of the forest farm and Erlong Mountain under extremely difficult and severe cold conditions.
During the period, there were two scenes, Zuo Le was more impressed, one of which was a shot of Xian'er escaping in the snow.
waist-deep snow, the actors can't run at all, but the plot wants the kind of posture where the characters desperately escape, Song Jia can only grit her teeth and run and crawl.
Tripping over the snow, falling on the snow, climbing twice, getting up and continuing to run, is extremely physically demanding.
Halfway through the filming of this scene, Song Jia ran and cried, which just matched the panicked state of the characters in the play who fled for their lives.
was so angry that Song Jia sat paralyzed next to him, eager to bite him to death............
But Song Jia is still good, she is tired, and the photographer who followed her is even more tired.
In order to ensure this shot, Zuo Le used three cameras, one for a long shot and two for medium and close up.
In other words, when Song Jia ran, there were two photographers next to him.
They are not like Song Jia, they just need to run with their heads bored, they still have to carry the machine, and at the same time they have to stabilize the lens, if the lens is not pressed, the shot will be empty.
I'm sorry, I have to do it again.
And because it's a snow scene, this shoot is scrapped, and this venue has been passive, so it can't be used, and it has to be replaced with new snow.
At that time, you have to find new scenes, adjust the camera, choose camera positions, reshoot the actors, and so on, which is extremely troublesome.
Therefore, when filming this scene, the pressure on the photographer is actually still great for the actors, for fear of getting out of the basket.
............
In addition to this scene, another thing that impressed Zuo Le was Zhu Chuanwu played by Gu Xiaoge who wiped the snow naked.
In the play, Zhu Chuanwu wanted to join the forest farm, but he was troubled by the old one-armed man of the forest farm, and asked Zhu Chuanwu to drag him to the wolf within three days under the pretext of celebrating his birthday.
Zhu Chuanwu, who was full of wolves, squatted in the snow all night, but he didn't know that he was fooled by the old one-armed, and there was no wolf at all where he went.
If it weren't for Xian'er and Sister Hong's action to pull Zhu Chuanwu back from the snow, and then rub the snow desperately to warm him up, and save the frozen Zhu Chuanwu, the old Zhu family would have died in advance.
When filming the scene of rubbing the snow naked, at the beginning, it was Gu Xiaoge who stripped off his shirt and lay on the kang, Xian'er played by Song Jia and Sister Hong, played by another actress, held the props and snow, and then rubbed on him.
As a result, after filming for a while, Zuo Le felt dissatisfied, the prop snow was too fake, it was okay to look at, and with a rub of his hands, the discerning person could see through it at once.
Gotta use real snow!
And you can't come with a small handful, you have to come more, after all, this is to save people.
People are about to freeze to death, and they are racing against time with death, and your fluttering snow rubbing against your body is not real at all.
So, Zuo Le discussed with Gu Xiaoge, saying that he could use real snow, Gu Xiaoge was a dedicated actor, and immediately agreed.
But Gu Xiaoge's assistant is gone, what if she gets frostbitten, she has to be responsible for her own artist, even if Zuo Le is her boss.
In addition, the producer and several assistant directors did not agree to take risks, Gu Xiaoge is the starring role, and the rest of the scenes are basically inseparable from him, in case something really happens, even if it is a cold, it will affect the filming progress of the crew.
There were many objections, and Zuo Le was not easy to force, so he was ready to give up, but after Gu Xiaoge watched the playback just now, he also felt that the effect of the prop snow was not good, and took the initiative to ask to shoot it with real snow.
Gu Xiaoge himself strongly demanded that the matter be mentioned by the director Zuo Le, the two most important parties planned to shoot with real snow, and it was useless for others to oppose it.
Since the scene is built temporarily, the warmth effect is average, the indoor and outdoor temperatures are almost similar, and the kang in the room is also a prop kang, although it can also be burned, but the heating effect is greatly reduced compared to the real kang.
Seeing this, Zuo Le asked people to spread three layers of electric blankets under the kang mattress, and the room was heated as much as possible without affecting the lens shooting.
Originally, I wanted Gu Xiaoge to drink a sip of liquor, but Gu was afraid of affecting his state, so he only drank ginger tea.
During the official filming, Zuo Le asked people to bring four baskets of snow and put them in the house, and at the same time explained to Song Jia and another actor, rubbing hard, which can be regarded as manually heating Gu Xiaoge, and then try not to make mistakes, it is best to pass directly.
may be affected by Zuo Le's serious guidance, the two actresses are somewhat nervous, Song Jia is okay, her mentality is quite stable, and the other actress is not so good.
When he took the snow basket and poured snow on Gu Xiaoge's body, he didn't have the strength to eat, and directly covered Gu Xiaoge with most of the snow.
This is a mistake, but it is not serious, there is a lot of snow, reach out and pull the excess aside and then continue to act, Song Jia did this.
As a result, the actress may have been stupid because she made a mistake, and she was stunned, so that Gu Xiaoge suffered a crime.
This made Zuo Le so angry that he rarely got angry on the set, and almost made the actress cry.
Fortunately, Zuo Le had to take advantage of Gu's good physical condition to hurry up and shoot this snow rubbing scene, without wasting much time, otherwise this actress would not be so easy to pass.
This scene was filmed intermittently more than a dozen times, with a total duration of more than 40 minutes, and the hands of the two actresses and Gu Xiaoge's bodies were rubbed red, and Zuo Lecai nodded and said that he had passed.
Afterwards, even Gu Xiaoge himself regretted it, this scene was too offended.
Those warm facilities are still somewhat useful in the early stage, but they are almost useless in the middle stage.
And it was snow compress and hand rubbing, which was very irritating to the body, but at that time he was acting in a frozen state, his body could not move, and he had to hold his breath, which was definitely an unspeakable torture.
After the filming of this scene, Gu Xiaoge shivered twice unconsciously when he saw the snow for several days, almost leaving a psychological shadow............
