"Let the Bullets Fly" was filmed in two locations, one in the mountainous area between Beijing and Jincheng, and the other in Wuyi City, Guangdong Province.

The main filming location is still in Wuyi City, but the crew will stay in the mountainous area of Beijing for a while.

The Baihe Gorge outside the capital is very beautiful, different from the magic work of some natural wonders, and also different from the wonders of man-made. It's a very ordinary canyon, but unpolluted by industrialization, the water is crystal clear, and the mountain walls have a yellowish beauty.

This is the background picture of "eating hot pot and singing".

The division of labor in the crew is very clear, similar to a small society.

The crew is divided into production team, director group, photography group, stage team, actor group, lighting group, field management team, recording team and so on. There will also be a publicity team and a post-production team to make films in the back, but they rarely enter the on-set shooting, after all, the funds are limited.

Although Lin Yi is a screenwriter, he also works part-time as Director Jiang's assistant director, so he rightfully belongs to the director group.

In the crew, the production team that gives money is undoubtedly a father, but with an experienced director like Director Jiang, usually the whole crew still revolves around the director group.

Lin Yi looked at it, at this time, the dozens of people in the entire crew had already begun to get busy, and there were still dozens of people who had not yet started.

"Xiaoyi, you're here. After Director Jiang was talking, he saw Lin Yi.

Lin Yi walked over, and then said hello to Director Jiang, as well as Li You and Director Ma Xiaogang beside him.

"You should be familiar with these actors, so you don't need to be familiar with what I introduce. Director Jiang smiled casually.

Lin Yi nodded, Director Jiang likes to use acquaintances, so most of the people in the crew now, Lin Yi has basically seen him before filming "No Smoking", and even a security guard in the field service team, Lin Yi saw him in Jinling last time.

"Come, let me introduce Xiaoyi, this is the producer of our production team, you saw it last time. His name is She Shuai, you can call him Mr. She. Director Jiang said.

At this time, Lin Yi noticed that the man behind Director Jiang turned out to be the small-eyed middle-aged man who called him to write a poem last time.

"Hello, Mr. She. Lin Yi greeted him in a friendly manner.

Lin Yi secretly complained, there is actually someone surnamed Snake?

But if it weren't for Mr. She, he might not have any other way to get the approval of those investors.

Mr. She didn't expect Lin Yi's inner activities, and he also glanced at Lin Yi a few more times with appreciation, and then introduced Lin Yi to a man next to him; "Come, let me introduce, this is Peng Ze, Chinese New Year's Eve years old today, graduated from the directing department of the Beijing Film Academy with a doctorate, and is the assistant director I introduced." ”

"Come, Peng Ze. This is Lin Yi, you should be familiar with it, right? He is very famous for singing, he is also the only screenwriter of Director Jiang's play, and now he is the assistant director of Director Jiang in the crew. The two of you are both young people, and you have a lot of topics in common, so let's talk about it after getting to know each other!" Mr. She glanced at the two of them with great satisfaction.

"Hello, I'm Lin Yi. Lin Yi also kindly stretched out his hand to him.

Peng Ze also shook Lin Yi's hand with a smile, but he didn't say anything.

Mr. She glanced at Lin Yi meaningfully, and then pulled Jiang Dao aside. Lin Yi stood not far from them, and vaguely heard Mr. She's words, "This is a good seedling that I found after looking for a long time in the film school, you can help me take it well." ”

Lin Yi listened to Mr. She's words, and just glanced at Peng Ze, who had an indifferent face in front of him.

In most cases, there is only one director in a crew, but there can be many assistant directors, some of these people come to rub experience and brush copies, and some are really talented or have personalities that are more suitable for being a coordinated assistant director.

And this Peng Ze obviously belongs to the former.

The two looked at each other for a moment, and then Peng Ze asked, "Have you ever been on the crew before?"

"Yes, I spent a week or two on the set of "No Smoking" last year. Lin Yi responded calmly.

"Oooh. Peng Ze nodded understandingly, and then asked, "Then before you became an assistant director, did you delve into some knowledge in film, such as lens processing, scene scheduling, or reading some books on drama and film and television?"

is worthy of the director department, just say anything, it's just a bunch of professional terms that laymen don't know!

"Uh..." Lin Yi was embarrassed.

His job is a singer, if it weren't for Director Jiang and Milk Tea Yang calling him hard, he wouldn't have come to do this thankless job!

"Yes, I'm still reading books like "Cinematic Narrative" and "Theory of Film Practice". Lin Yi responded a little uneasy in his heart.

Hearing Lin Yi's answer, an inexplicable smile rose on the corner of Peng Ze's mouth, and then he looked at Lin Yi and said coldly, "Read more books." ”

Immediately after, he left with a flicked face.

What are you, you have the ability to create more than me!

Lin Yi looked at his departing back and felt a little cool in the autumn of the capital.

It's cold, damn it.

After the staff made all the preparations, the filming of "Let the Bullets Fly" officially began, because Director Jiang didn't like to reveal something to the outside world, so the crew did not have a start-up ceremony, and everyone naturally entered the filming process.

Lin Yi followed Director Jiang to the side of the mountain, not far away was a group of horses, followed by an iron train, the train was on the tracks that the props team had already prepared, which could ensure the normal operation of the train.

"All departments prepare!" Lin Yi picked up the microphone and walkie-talkie.

Then he looked at Director Jiang's eyes, and finally said into the walkie-talkie, "Let's go!"

At this time, the tin train began to move on the tracks under the pull of the white horse. The whole camera crew was shooting around this scene, flying in the sky and running on the ground.

Director Jiang sat on the chair with a serious face, looked at the pictures in front of the cameras, and then nodded quietly.

Every picture that appears in every shot needs to meet Director Jiang's expectations.

After this scene has passed, it is a close-up view.

The actors Lin Yi is familiar with, Li You, Ma Xiaogang, and Liu Jialing also appeared.

The first shot was a picture of three people in the train, eating hot pot and singing songs. However, the space inside the train is obviously not enough for the camera crew to be filmed, so the props team needs to be configured in advance, and they need to configure the scenes in advance, and then provide them to the actors and camera crews to shoot.

Lin Yi stood one meter away from Li You's performance venue, watching their every movement and expression behind the camera.

In order to create a sense of shaking the machine sitting on the train, their performance venue will be in a special scene. Lin Yi looked at the props placed in front of the camera, the golden Huali hot pot, and all kinds of medieval-style tables, chairs and lighting, which couldn't help but be made!

"The end of the sky, the corner of the earth, the acquaintance is half scattered. Li You sang this song in front of the camera, opening his mouth.

At this time, each fuselage is revolving around these three actors.

Lin Yi saw the decency of the three mature actors facing the camera from behind the camera, and they all completely substituted themselves into the role. Li You was singing happily, Liu Jialing's body was swaying with the train props, and Ma Xiaogang was echoing on the side.

Old drama bones!

Lin Yi couldn't help but praise behind the camera.

The performances of the three people are very smooth, and they belong to the kind of three people who push each other on each other's shoulders.

Because the three of them have very good line skills, all three of them can enter the play very well, and it is precisely because there is no criticism of the mentally handicapped who reads numbers in it to fish in troubled waters, so Lin Yi of the camera is very comfortable to watch and enjoys the privilege of watching an old drama once.

"Write a poem, write a poem! There must be wind, there must be meat, there must be hot pot, there must be fog! there must be a beautiful woman, there must be a donkey!" Li You said this sentence very excitedly in front of the camera, and then Director Jiang patted Lin Yi's shoulder, and then Director Jiang's "card" came from his ears.

This clip is over...

Then there is the shot of Li You in another part of the train, and then there is the chaotic picture of Li You and the three of them rolling in the train.

Director Jiang felt dissatisfied, and had a few more shots, so he was so busy, and two or three days passed.

"Xiaoyi, Peng Ze, I'm going to perform later, and the two of you will be responsible for cutting the close-up scene, you know?" Director Jiang explained to Lin Yi earnestly.

Lin Yi nodded weakly, and then sat on Director Jiang's director's chair a little cautiously, still holding Director Jiang's walkie-talkie in his hand.

In fact, in the crew, the status of the assistant director is lower than that of the assistant director. But the assistant director is just a frontier cadre, no matter how powerful he is, he can't compare to a small central official position in front of the boss! What's more, Director Jiang really likes Lin Yi very much.

"Ahem... Let's go..."Lin Yi picked up the walkie-talkie.

At this time, Director Jiang started acting in front of the camera, and Lin Yi and Peng Ze needed to coordinate every shot behind the scenes and cooperate with Director Jiang in every performance.

Lin Yi held the director's walkie-talkie and nervously looked at every picture in front of the camera.

"Cut the vista. Peng Ze said indifferently on the side.

"Didn't Director Jiang say cut to the close-up scene?" Lin Yi responded coldly.

"I told you to cut the long shot, this shot needs to cut the long shot, and cut the long shot to show the characters in the picture, you know? The book "Theory of Film Practice" you read, didn't it teach you this?" Peng Ze said indifferently, with a sense of pride as a professional in his words.

"So... Is it a long view or a close shot...", asked a young man from the photography team.

"Close-up!" Lin Yi said indifferently.

Peng Ze looked at Lin Yi indifferently on the side and didn't speak, but a few traces of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.
