In a month, after making a movie, is it fast?

Of course......

Generally speaking, the shooting of ordinary movies, from start-up to completion, is at least a cycle of two or three months. When filming, Zhou Mu completed the task in a month, so that the news was questioned when it came out, and many people felt that he was perfunctory.

Now, it's the same time.

This made Zhou Mu inevitably suspicious, "Is he really making a sci-fi blockbuster with an investment of 300 million?"

"Propaganda is like this. ”

Cui Ji was also puzzled, "Brilliant Pictures, it's impossible to sell dog meat on a sheep's head." Moreover, popular stars such as Lin Jiayu, Zhuang Yan, and Wang Shaoai will not be coaxed. ”

"That's unusual. ”

Zhou Mu thought about it and couldn't figure it out, "Such a blockbuster, when filming, should be more cumbersome." It's a bit too much in a month. ”

Shoot fast.

That's due to the simplicity of the set, which is basically an indoor shot.

There are few special effects, not many characters, and it is a comedy film, so the acting requirements are not high. The actors are running in, and the progress is naturally a rapid progress.

But sci-fi blockbusters.

Zhou Mu now has the right to speak, in order to shoot well, he can be said to be exhausted, going to bed every night and getting up early, occasionally insomnia, thinking about how to make the plot look good. The brain is always running, and naturally I can't sleep.

I finally squinted in a daze, and was woken up by dawn again. After washing his face with cold water, he hurried out of the house and started a new day's work.

Fortunately, he was young and energetic, and he could barely make ends meet.

He's worked so hard and the team helps.

The process and material of the film are only two-thirds completed.

It is estimated that it will take half a month before it can be completed.

You know, it's not a blockbuster, it's just a prequel to test the waters. There aren't many big scenes, there are very few exterior scenes, and most of the scenes can be done in the studio.

Even then, progress is not fast. So he couldn't figure out how Tang Yuan managed to complete the shooting in a month.

Cut corners?

Ambition?

Or is there any unique stunt? Zhou Mu couldn't figure it out, and he didn't bother to think about it, "Why pay attention to him, shoot our own." ”

Cui Ji's eyes flickered, and he reminded softly, "What if his movie is arranged in the same schedule as you?"

"It's such a coincidence. ”

Zhou Mu shook his head, unimpressed.

For him, this matter is nothing more than a casual chat. After mentioning a few words, his attention returned to the scene that was about to be filmed.

Adhering to the principle of first difficult and then easy.

Zhou Mu put the literary drama at the end, and the priority shooting was basically action scenes. What will be filmed in a moment is the decisive battle between the heroine and the secret guard.

University Building, Library.

On both sides of the spiral staircase, there is a tower-like internal space structure.

The tall bookshelves, from the first steps, continue upwards.

The camera shoots upward, and a light shines down from top to bottom. Hazy holiness, symbolizing the ladder of knowledge, boundless.

Bang bang, bang bang!

Zhou Mu applauded and paid tribute to the photographer.

This was not his idea, but the photographer gave full play to his subjective initiative and brought a few assistants to figure it out.

It's a pity that this is a commercial film, which doesn't give the photographer more room to play.

After a brief shot, the black-clothed men emerged, converging into a dense torrent, surging down from above, and then avoiding the professor and pounced on Ye Zijin.

One, two, three......

In the blink of an eye, the black-clothed men gathered into a ball, and surrounded Ye Zijin in the center, without the slightest gap.

To shoot this scene, you really need to pay some attention.

First of all, a spherical body was constructed, with tough steel bars as the bones, Ye Zijin stood in the middle position, and the people in black "pounced" on it, but they were actually grasping on the steel bars. After that, it is like stacking arhats, "spreading" on top layer by layer.

There are steel bars as support, and professional acrobats are invited to give guidance. After tossing for more than an hour, this "simple" shot can be regarded as complete.

And then there's the frying......

Ye Zijin was "imprisoned" in the middle by a group of men in black, and the camera froze for a few seconds, and then these men in black were blown away.

It's not easy, and it takes a lot of filming.

Zhou Mu didn't understand very much, basically he said what he thought, so he asked Yu Nian to discuss it with the executive director, and he followed to learn from the side.

Try if you can do it, and modify the plan if you can't do it.

Over and over again, all kinds of tosses. Making a movie is so trivial, boring, and boring.

Maybe a day grinding a shot.

But it's funny......

Well.

At the very least, the profession of director is very interesting. Gather everyone's strength and turn the imagination in your mind into reality.

......

Generally speaking, in complex action scenes, the actor is responsible for showing his face, and the difficult actions are basically completed by stand-ins.

That's how filming is now.

Ye Zijin was at the scene, posed a few times, and went down to rest.

She sat on the chair, and she was also a little unwilling. She felt that she could complete some actions, but Zhou Mu didn't trust her, so she asked her to be honest and not be reckless.

This is looking down on her.

Ye Zijin was puffing out and couldn't help but puff out his little face.

This makes the makeup artist's hard work in vain. After all, in the later stages of the movie, her makeup is more mature.

is no longer a young and beautiful student girl at the beginning, but a cold urban woman who has evolved several times and is becoming stronger day by day.

Ruthless and decisive.

So the makeup artist gave her eye shadow and eyeliner, so that a pair of smart apricot eyes became narrow and cold.

A faint sense of smoke, like a bad girl.

This is Zhou Mu's straight man's evaluation before, which made Ye Zijin almost pull out two prop knives on the inner thighs and poke them over.

Anyway, no matter how mature the makeup is, it can't hide the fact that she is a girl. Barely an adult, the breath of youth, more obvious.

The small actions of some girls directly exposed their hearts.

Caught off guard, a finger poked Ye Zijin's little face.

The puffed up little face was suddenly deflated. It's like a popped balloon, and it actually makes a "pop" sound.

Shame, shame.

Ye Zijin was stunned and lost his mind. She hurriedly looked back, her eyes lit up, and the whole person was surprised, "Sister Qing!"

"Shh

Xu Qingying sat down with a smile and looked at Ye Zijin's new image, "Yes, you should be like this in a few years." ”

Ye Zijin smiled shyly, she couldn't help but pull her long hair, and a tight leather coat that was close to her skin.

The original, the heroine's clothes, are too casual.

From beginning to end, it is a simple T-shirt, shirt, etc.

Some people may think that the movie should focus on people themselves, telling the story of superpower evolution, rather than things outside the body.

Come on, it's a movie.

Costumes and props have always been an important part of the movie that cannot be ignored.

Otherwise, film festivals around the world would not have set up professional awards to recognize these behind-the-scenes jobs.

There is a chance to make the heroine look better and make the audience more pleasing to the eye, why save this money?

Therefore, under the intervention of Zhou Mu, the selection of the heroine was divided into several stages.

Six or seven different images made Ye Zijin very happy. At the time of the final battle, her image was majestic and heroic.

Leather armor cape, professional combat uniform.

A slender belt is tied to a gun, a dagger hangs from his thighs, and his long hair is slightly hot and wavy.

As soon as the blower blows, the cloak flies.

One word, domineering!

At least Ye Zijin thinks so. But when Xu Qinglime came, her domineering and self-confidence turned into shyness and embarrassment.

Because when filming, she always unconsciously imitated Xu Qinglime's performance in China, and was criticized by Zhou Mu many times.

One of the most serious criticisms is......

Those who learn from me live, and those who resemble me die.

If Ye Zijin's performance is the same as Xu Lime, then why do you want her, isn't it good to find Xu Lime directly to play the heroine?

These words made Ye Zijin frightened, hiding in the quilt and crying secretly.

In the end, it was Xu Qinglime who called her, found that her situation was wrong, and patiently guided her to eliminate the magic obstacles in her heart, so that her performance was slowly on the right track.

Afterwards, she slowly came back to her senses and drilled the horns of the bull herself.

So when I saw Xu Lime, I was unconsciously shy.

"Sister Qing, why are you here?" Ye Zijin asked.

"Come and see you. Xu Qingling teased, "See if you have been bullied or cried." ”

"Sister Qing, don't mention it......" Ye Zijin's face was red, and he couldn't help but pull Xu Qingli's little hand to be coquettish.

"Good, good, don't mention it. ”

Xu Qingling couldn't help but smile and patted Ye Zijin's little hand, "During this time, I have worked hard for you." ”

She knows very well the difficulty of action scenes.

Although before, Ye Zijin was in City 2, there were also action scenes. The problem is that in Urban 2 she is a supporting role, and there are not many scenes.

She is the protagonist in this movie, and there are a lot of action scenes.

Even if there are stand-ins in many scenes, all kinds of Weiya, rolling, throwing and other actions need to be completed by herself.

Bumps, bruises, and bruises, this is normal. It's only been a month, and Ye Zijin has already consumed more than a dozen bottles of medicinal wine.

The hardships can also be imagined.

"I'm fine, it's not hard. ”

Ye Zijin smiled brightly, she watched Xu Qinglime shoot urban legends.

In contrast, she felt that she was "despised" by Zhou Mu in this movie. Because of a lot of actions, in urban legends, Xu Qinglime does not need a stand-in and completes it himself.

But for the same action, Zhou Mu arranged a stand-in for her. Even if she knew that it was for her sake, she didn't feel wrong.

So Ye Zijin made a small report, "Sister Qing, the director is hard, he goes to bed at two or three o'clock every day, and gets up at four or five o'clock, he is too dutiful." ”

"Really?"

Sure enough, Xu Qinglime's smile retracted.

Her eyes, with a bit of coldness, turned to the side.

In the center of the set, a group of people surrounded Zhou Mu and listened to him explain, "You are emotionless robots, but it doesn't mean that you have no emotions all the time. ”

"In fact, while the heroine is evolving, you are also affected in the slightest, and you have human-like mood swings. ”

"It's also an evolutionary ......"
