Chapter 308: Don't Sprout
Because of the heavy rain, He Xin still came early.
The rain continued for another two days, and the sky finally cleared. Because Yuanmou is located in a shallow basin of the Central Yunnan Plateau, the temperature is particularly high in May, and the surface temperature during the day even reaches more than 50 degrees.
After the crew restarted, He Xin followed the crew for more than an hour to come to the Tiger Leaping Beach Soil Forest, although the rocky soil forest there was beautiful, he admired the magic of nature at the same time, but was forced back by the high temperature of nearly 40 degrees Celsius under the sun.
Thinking about the gathering of more than a thousand extras who were either dressed in heavy armor or dressed in fur costumes dressed as barbarians, it was indeed extremely hard. And that's not even counting the yaks that are being driven around the valley one by one, and even the suspicion of animal cruelty.
When it was his turn to shoot his scene, it was already ten days after He Xin arrived in the local area. Fortunately, his scenes are all night scenes, and the temperature difference between day and night on the plateau is relatively large, nearly 40 degrees during the day, and about a little bit in the early twenties at night, which is very cool.
And there is no need to travel long distances to the Tulin Scenic Area, the filming location is not far from the county seat in a natural and artificial mixed plantain orchard.
However, this time most of his scenes were martial arts, and he needed to hang the steel wire hanging down from a large crane dozens of meters high, flickering and moving between the banana trees, and his crotch was once again strangled a little unbearable.
On the one hand, it was because the filming progress was delayed by the heavy rain that lasted for several days in the early stage, and on the other hand, the quality of the Begonia House built by the crew at Bigu Tianchi, a famous scenic spot in Shangri-La, was not up to standard, which did not meet the requirements of Director Chen.
So the original plan was to finish filming Yuanmou's scene in late May, but it was inevitably delayed until early June.
Night, plantain garden.
Dressed in flower armor, but without a helmet, Sanada Hiroyuki with a blood-stained face was lying under a large withered tree, a bare-handed, ragged shirt in mid-air, a black robe and a black hat, holding a serpentine sword, and two figures were pulling under the traction of the wire rope, doing difficult fighting movements.
I saw the serpentine sword flying faster and faster around the bare-handed figure, the bare-handed figure retreated, the two figures were entangled with each other, and at the same time, a harrier turned over, and I saw the serpentine sword in the hand of the man in black on the neck of the bare-handed one.
"Ka! Lin Di'an, the action director, shouted with a loudspeaker.
Whenever it is time to shoot an action scene, the on-site conductor replaces the executive director with the action director, and performs the director's authority. Generally, in this kind of scene, Director Chen, who is sitting behind the monitor, only needs to be responsible for controlling the completion of the entire picture and the overall effect. And the specific details, as well as the shouting and shouting, are all in the hands of the action director.
This is the main reason why many action directors eventually grow into directors.
In fact, there are not many action scenes in "Wu Ji", if it is an action movie like "Ip Man", then the action director is equivalent to half a director.
The two swordsman figures just now are stand-ins played by the martial arts brothers, and when they complete the difficult martial arts moves, it is time for the real actors.
He Xin and Zhang Dongjian, who were watching the excitement on the side, hurriedly ran over to take over the position of the Wuxing brothers, both of them had belts hanging steel wires tied around their waists, and the Wuxing brothers helped them buckle the buckle of the wire rope to their waists, and then hung Zhang Dongjian's feet up and down into the air, and He Xin, who was standing in place, wrapped their arms around each other and put their shoulders on each other's shoulders under Lin Di'an's instructions.
"Ah Xin, you hide the sword behind you with your backhand, and when Mr. Zhang comes down for a while, you raise your backhand like this, and put the sword on Mr. Zhang's neck. Remember that the action must be crisp and neat, otherwise it won't look good when filmed. Lin Di'an said as he helped him do the demonstration.
"No problem, Brother Di'an!" He Xin said confidently.
"OK, then let's try it twice, everything is OK, and then we will officially shoot." Lin Dian patted him on the shoulder and smiled.
Because He Xin played the ghost wolf, he was a killer raised by Wu Huan, and he had more fights in the play, and although he had no martial arts foundation, he had strong comprehension and quick response. In Lin Di'an's words, he has the potential to become a star, and the relationship between the two is good, including Lin Di'an's previous teaching him a set of fitness martial arts routines that are very fancy but have no actual combat effect.
After trying twice in a row, He Xin's movements were completed very quickly, in Lin Di'an's words, it was very poophyt!
"All the personnel are ready to be officially filmed. β
βActionοΌβ
In the shot, Zhang Dongjian, whose feet were facing up and head down, reflexed in the air with the power of the wire and fell to the ground, while He Xin put one hand on his shoulder, and the serpentine sword hidden behind his back was a backhand, and the action was extremely neat and neat, and the sword in his hand was put on his neck very neatly.
"Who taught you to run so fast?"
Zhang Dongjian raised his head and didn't dare to move, and his eyes were dazed when he heard He Xin's words.
He Xin's originally fierce expression slowly retracted, his eyes were full of incredulity, and said, "Are you from Snow Country?"
Zhang Dongjian was still dazed but unmoved.
But He Xin subconsciously retracted the serpentine sword around his neck, his eyes became flustered, and he muttered, "That...... I won't kill you!"
The serpentine sword slowly retracted, and without waiting for Zhang Dongjian to react, the wire rope behind him tightened, and the whole person rose into the air and quickly withdrew from the camera.
"Ka!
Director Chen, who was in a good mood, learned Lin Di'an's tone and dragged a foreign sentence loudly.
At this time, Hiroyuki Sanada, who had been lying on the ground for a long time as a human flesh setter, also got up from the ground. Tonight, the rivalry of the three powerful actors was so wonderful that it ended nearly an hour earlier than expected, and the staff on the scene also followed the director and applauded the three actors who gave superb performances.
If you put it aside, wave your hand to everyone and say hello to express your gratitude, it will be over, but when Sanada Hiroyuki and Zhang Dongjian are both there, He Xin has to follow them and keep bowing to the director and staff, and solemnly express his gratitude.
Tonight's scene is He Xin's last scene in Yuanmou, according to the plan, he can leave the crew tomorrow and usher in a nearly one-month vacation, and then transfer to the Inner Mongolia Ulan Butong Grassland to converge, shoot for nearly ten days, and finally return to the studio of Beijing Film Studio to complete the final stunt shooting, and it is estimated that the whole drama will be successfully completed by mid-August.
When He Xin had just taken off the airtight black feather robe on his body and changed into his long-sleeved T-shirt, he heard Director Chen call him: "Xiao He, come here, I have something to discuss with you." β
"Director, you say. β
He hurriedly ran over. After getting along for so long, he has long been familiar with Director Chen's words, don't look at what Director Chen said politely, what kind of discussion or the like, in fact, it is often just to inform you of what he has already decided.
In the group, Director Chen is the boss, so naturally whatever he says is what he says. He Xin is still very clear about this, just listen to it, don't really treat his words as a discussion with you.
"That's right, the trip to Inner Mongolia has been canceled. β
"Canceled?" He Xin was inevitably stunned.
"I thought about it, there are grasslands on the Shangri-La side, and May and June are the time when the begonias, Gesang flowers, and wolf poison flowers are at their most beautiful, and the scenery there is far more beautiful than the grasslands in Inner Mongolia. In addition, the local government also discussed with our crew, hoping to use the opportunity of our crew's filming in Shangri-La to promote the local tourism ......"
Speaking of this, Director Chen paused slightly, and said with a righteous face: "I think it is also the bounden duty of our crew to help backward areas promote the beautiful local tourism resources and help them develop the economy." So we discussed with the local government, and the tentative schedule is to hold a grand opening ceremony in Shangri-La on June 20 with 40,000 people......"
Director Chen talked eloquently, and He Xin listened on the side, but he was muttering in his heart, this scene is almost two-thirds of the way to filming, why did he suddenly decide to hold a grand opening ceremony attended by tens of thousands of people?
And didn't the crew already do it once when they first came to Yuanmou, it was necessary for the crew to change scenes once, and they had to do a start-up ceremony, so how could it be grand?
He suddenly remembered the news that the national teacher was going to hold a lavish world premiere of "Ambush" on July 10, which had been widely reported in the media not long ago.
Although Chen Dadao and the national teacher have never admitted that the two are secretly competing, this time Chen Dadao suddenly decided to hold a grand opening ceremony attended by more than 40,000 people on June 20, and the reason is definitely not as high-sounding as Chen Dadao said, which makes people always feel that there is a suspicion of secretly having a head out with the national teacher.
Moreover, He Xin vaguely remembered that the Internet seemed to have exposed and criticized "Wu Ji" during the filming of Shangri-La, which caused great damage to many pristine natural landscapes in the scenic area.
He can't remember exactly what he destroyed, maybe it has something to do with Director Chen's temporary change in shooting plan this time, trying to secretly tell the national teacher goodbye, right?
Director Chen said a lot in a commanding tone, and finally said: "So I hope you can go to Shangri-La to meet the crew before June 20 and participate in the opening ceremony." β
"No problem, director, I'll report to the crew in advance when the time comes!" He Xin nodded and said with a smile.
After listening to Director Chen's teachings, I saw Zhang Tong coming over with a smile, and deliberately pretended to be sorry and said, "Brother, when you leave tomorrow, I can't come over to see you off." β
"Okay, don't pretend, I know you have a play tomorrow, so behave well!" He Xin said with a smile and patted him on the shoulder.
This product performed well in the crew, and Director Chen also saw it, tomorrow will be the last scene of the crew in Yuanmou, when Zhang Tong, as the small leader of the red soldiers, has a shot of spitting on the general's light, and mixed two lines, which makes this product extremely excited.
