Under the tall and long blue curtain, two teams of "soldiers" wearing bamboo hats were holding "bamboo guns" and stabbing each other from afar, among which a small number of samurai with their backs and flags were commanding, shouting and shouting, and the sound of conches was bursting, and from time to time someone fell to the ground, making a heart-rending scream.

Not far from the gang there was a long track, and the camera car with the camera and the videographer were quickly skimming the battlefield from one side, and in the corner there was a large rocker camera hoisting the camera high and looking down on everything.

On the outer periphery are the crew members, some are pointing fingers, some are discussing with each other, and there are also idlers watching the excitement, such as Mr. and Mrs. Kameda.

"Husband, why do you use a blue cloth to cover the mountains in the distance? Is it a curtain......" Although Kameda Yuka has worked in the production bureau, he is only a small clerk, and he can't touch the shooting, and he has heard of the curtain, but he has never seen such a big and long curtain, and some of them are not quite accurate - more than three meters high, dozens of meters long, and they are nailed and hung in the air by the four corners of the sections, and suddenly it looks very spectacular.

She was a little curious, and Kameda Kanta was also seeing this kind of large-scale shooting scene for the first time, and she was fascinated by it, and said casually: "It's a curtain, they don't have enough qualified group performances, and they don't want to use ordinary people to fill up the numbers, so they need to be synthesized many times in the future, so the workload in the post-shooting period will be smaller." ”

"Ah, post-production, that's amazing!"

"yes......"

Kameda Kanta was also a little convinced, the nearly 100 people in front of him were divided into two groups to fight each other, in fact, taking a close-up shot, it looks like the scene should already be good, but I didn't expect Chihara Rin to be dissatisfied, and then do special effects in the later stage, so that the number of people looks like it can reach the scale of about 1,000 people, it can only be said that it is really burning money......

He sighed and continued to watch, this kind of shooting scene is rare, and he is also very novel to watch.

The couple had been here for a whole day, and it felt like a dream.

Rin Chihara was very busy as the general person in charge, and he didn't accompany them much, but they expressed their understanding, just look at the scene, and the things in this are simply complicated, let alone organizing, just thinking about it makes people feel numb.

Of course, Chihara Rin is also a particular person, as the owner into the landlord's friendship, yesterday evening invited them to dinner, although it is all some fast food, but it depends on who to eat with - Chihara Rin is gentle and polite, and he is very funny in his speech, and he is approachable, which makes them very surprised.

In particular, Kanta Kameda inquired about some shooting "insiders" by the way, and most of the people in Chihara Rin answered with a smile, and only a few sensitive questions were a little evaded, which was equivalent to doing an exclusive interview.

This made Kameda very excited, and he felt that he could write one, no, several good articles.

That night, they spent the night in the crew, and they felt that the whole crew was like a machine running endlessly, and the sound outside the trailer had not stopped all night, as if countless staff were rushing to work.

This big river drama is really a big project......

Kameda sighed inwardly as the battle in the arena was stopped. Executive directors, assistant directors and martial arts instructors rushed into the arena to make adjustments. Now it's not a formal shooting, but a joint practice before shooting, if you really want to shoot, you will "see blood", it will pollute the venue and clothing, you need to try to pass it at one time, and the previous joint training is very necessary.

After adjusting for a while, the members of the director team looked at the specific effects again, checked with the storyboard to see if there was anything that needed to be modified, and when everything was almost the same, they ordered to rest for a while, and at the same time sent someone to invite Rin Chihara - Rin Chihara was busy filming other things in the village, and by the way, he also repeatedly checked the safety work during the "burning of the village".

That's what Rin Chihara values the most, in order to shoot a tense and exciting effect, a new shooting concept is adopted, many lenses need to be shot closely, and water and fire are ruthless, the ignition point of human skin is only 122 degrees Celsius, it is easy to set fire to the village, but if it is not controlled well, the actors, stuntmen, and photographers are burned to death, then it is really a big trouble.

Not to mention that the actors' union will look for trouble, even if it loses money, it is enough to drink a pot, and the budget for one or two episodes will disappear.

If you don't shoot well in a group fight at the same time, it's a big deal to change your clothes and shoot one more time, but if you don't shoot well once you burn the house, it will be difficult to repair it again, so you need a success over there.

The venue began to rest, and some staff began to distribute drinking water to the professional group performers who had "stabbed each other" for a long time, and these daily wage dojo disciples were also very excited to participate in the filming of the TV series.

Then a group of people came on horseback, these are the official supporting characters in the play, they are the heads of the six female families, the retainers and the leaders of the rival wealthy clans, and the costumes look much better than the group performers, even the bamboo armor is painted. In addition, such as the handle roll (saber rope) and the winding method of the finger flag, it is also guided by a special person, and the head is also shaved into a semi-bald "braid", which looks decent, as if going back in time, the ancient wealthy family has been resurrected again.

Next, these official actors will join in the joint practice, Kameda Yuka observed curiously, and didn't dare to bother, after all, Chihara Rin agreed that she would stay in the crew to visit, which was to give Tianda face, and it would be a bit unreasonable to disturb other people's work.

She was quite sensible, but looking at these formal actors, she asked in a low voice, "Husband, what is the burden on their backs?"

These actors came on horseback to meet the wind, in addition to the flag behind them, there was also a slightly bulging baggage, which looked strange, and this Kameda Kanta knew about it, and immediately replied: "It's a mother's clothes." ”

"What is a mother's garment?"

"It's a kind of samurai equipment. "Men, they usually have a natural hobby for weapons and equipment, Kameda Kanta was in good spirits and immediately explained it to his wife.

This thing was also called "Baojuyi" at the earliest, and in the normal martial arts or battle of the samurai, due to the fact that the early defense was too simple (bamboo mahjong armor, and only wrapped in front), it was easy to be hacked to death by the enemy behind him.

This situation led the samurai to develop their own pouch-type armor for self-defense, the mother's coat. This kind of bag is a bit like a cloak, on the one hand, it is the sustenance of the spirit, and the samurai are all with a certain superstition, believing that the gods are behind them to protect themselves, just like the mother, is a way to pray for blessings and protection.

On the other hand, this thing puffs into a ball as soon as it is poured into the wind, and the anti-bamboo arrow effect is very good.

When charging, you can prevent being shot in the back by your own people - the bamboo bow is soft and inaccurate, the soldier is actually a farmer, it is normal to shoot at his own people, and it is more useful when escaping, and the story of dozens of arrows in the body still escaped back to the nest unharmed is usually the credit of the mother's clothes.

In a sense, this is an escape artifact, but it affects the speed a little, but fortunately, everyone is equipped in the early Warring States period, which is basically flat.

Of course, it is said that this strange equipment was produced in this special situation (I can't afford silk, I can't use a lighter anti-arrow vest), and I am looking for death when I wear this thing on horseback in another country - and then it was indeed eliminated, especially after the appearance of muskets, but it still existed as an ornament and a symbol of status, and many daimyo had built a "mother's clothing team", which became a special item for the honor guard.

Kameda Kanta explained with great interest, but when she heard Kameda Yuhua's ears, she felt that these actors looked strange with their "mother clothes" on their backs, a bit like Wang Ba, and they didn't care what the specific use was. Her gaze quickly turned to Rin Chihara, who had already arrived, and was looking at the framing samples with the director, martial arts instructor and others, and exchanging opinions by the way.

She couldn't help but interrupt her husband's words and asked, "Did Mr. Chihara not sleep last night?"

She only went to rest late last night, when Rin Chihara was still directing the preparation for the shoot, and when she got up in the morning, she found that Rin Chihara was already filming a set of shots - the horse fell to the ground, splashed a lot of dirt, and slid all the way to the front of the camera, the scene was very exciting and extremely difficult to shoot.

Kameda Kanta also glanced at Chihara Rin from a distance, and found that he was listening to the report of his subordinates, his expression was very focused, and he sighed: "I guess I haven't slept, and I have to be assigned to deal with so many things, so I must be very nervous about time." ”

I don't know if I don't see it, the more I watch it, the more I admire it, the crew has so many things, but the whole is busy but not chaotic, it is carried out in an orderly manner, and it runs like a precision machine, showing the extraordinary control ability of Chihara Rinren, and such a person is a young man who is about the same age as himself, and the more he looks at it, the more he admires it.

Kameda Yukama showed a worried look, she was slowly transforming into an iron fan, a little afraid that Chihara Rinto's body would not be able to bear it, and said worriedly: "I didn't expect that filming a TV series is such a hard job, husband, you have the opportunity to persuade Chihara to take care of your health." ”

............

Rin Chihara was unaware of the distant gaze, and was carefully looking at the picture in the viewfinder, repeatedly thinking about whether such a framing was appropriate, and he had to make a decision quickly.

On the one hand, it is to rush the construction period, after all, post-processing will be carried out after the filming, but the broadcast time cannot wait for anyone; on the other hand, there are so many people in the field, subsidies + overtime pay, and the consumption of people eating horses and chewing has doubled, if you don't hurry up and finish the shooting, Murakami Iori looks at the budget expenditure table, and nine times out of ten he can run to the Oku to kill him with a dung fork.

It's good to be able to finish it a day in advance, but after spending so much money, it always has to be effective, and it is also important to ensure the effect, and this is the first time to shoot this kind of large-scale scene, which is also a huge test of my ability, and the pressure is a bit high.

He and the director team discussed there for nearly half an hour before they were basically decided, and they were ready to divide this "large-scale battle" into six major sections to shoot - take panoramic views, take half scenes, local tearing, multiple close-ups, multiple shots in each segment, just like making an AV movie, that is not the male protagonist all the way to the end, you need to stop filming, and many times the heroine needs to be called there.

Now that the war scene has been filmed, the situation is the same, and the segments must be divided.

This side is basically confirmed, and he asked the gang to continue to practice together, and after the group training is completed, he will officially shoot this group of big scenes tomorrow, strive to finish filming before dark, and then quickly send the master tape back to Tokyo for post-processing.

Then he went straight back to the village, took a look at the special effects artists who were preparing to "set fire", once again emphasized the safety requirements and effects, and then returned to the filming site on the other side and continued to shoot the white-knuckle breakthrough battle scene in his village - this is not a scene connected with the ashigaru melee, or even the content of the same episode, but it has to be filmed in this village.

Ashigaru melee is a big scene, to shoot momentum and brutality, and hand-to-hand white-knuckle combat is the detail part, he hopes to shoot the action is crisp and neat, and the fight is real, fast and dazzling effect - not John Woo's aesthetics of putting white doves in gunfights, more like the kind of fighting in "Kill Bill", but there is no need to make it so gorgeous, it still has to be based on "reality".

After all, in the words of the movie, the level of violence will be directly proportional to the box office, and in the TV series, the level of violence will also be directly proportional to the ratings.

Of course, the premise is not to cause discomfort and disgust to the audience, so there is a shooting concept of "violent aesthetics" in later generations, which should use visual beauty, stimulation and refreshment to speed up the audience's adrenaline secretion, so as to reduce the physical discomfort caused by violence and cruelty, so as not to turn the audience away.

It's still quite troublesome, but it's necessary, it can't always be a big river drama, and the visual effects are all supported by Safuko's face - Safuko can't always come out, Dahe drama has to write around history, it is to show the tide of the times, it can't always be a perspective, and the part without Safuko can also make the audience pleasing to watch!

Before the effect was broadcast, Rin Chihara was actually not sure, but he hoped to use the filming concept and aesthetics of later generations to continue to enhance the value of the show and strive for the audience to buy it.

He was busy until dusk, and when the light was not suitable, he temporarily stopped, handed over the shooting scene to his subordinates, and quickly took a break from two mouthfuls of food, and his butt was not yet hot in his exclusive trailer, and soon someone came to knock on his door.

He didn't care, the general manager was like this, and people kept asking about things. He casually invited the man in, but his eyes didn't take off the monitor, and he was still making up the effect in his brain, thinking about what needed to be improved.

"Special Officer, fax in the bureau. ”

"Who sent it?"

"Miss Nishijima. ”

Rin Chihara thanked him and reached out to take it, but he still didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that it was another temporary opinion consultation of the compilation committee - everyone feels that their affairs are particularly important, and they need to notify their superiors after an accident, and they often mark it as "urgent" and "100,000 urgent", as if they are going to die if they don't deal with it quickly, but in fact, most of them are big things.

Of course, there are indeed some urgent matters such as broadcast accidents and actors' injuries, and as a special manager, he needs to submit professional opinions to the compilation committee in a timely manner to analyze whether to cut the show in half or pause, so it still has to be watched.

He waited for the picture on the monitor to finish this section before pausing, took a few more bites of the bento, missed his girlfriend's craftsmanship for a while, and then looked at the fax, and when he looked at it, his brows couldn't help frowning.

The fax is a copy of a press release in the newspaper, and the content of the article is that Satoko Ueki intends to change jobs, preparing to leave Ishimotobashi Performing Arts Company and join another large agency.

Chihara Rin frowned and read carefully, but he didn't move, I don't know if this thing is true or not, I don't know if it's true or not, this reporter's report is not high in serious news discipline, such as collecting black money, blackmailing celebrities, false reports and other scandals don't come out every day, there are always once a week, not to mention entertainment reporters - these people don't pursue objective truth at all, listen to the wind is rain, and even look at pictures and make up news by themselves, how to bluff people.

Except for a few newspapers, this news, you can believe fools at first glance!

Thinking about it, Rumi Nishijima also thinks that it may not be true, and it is not clear that a reporter is making up blind eyeballs there, so she just faxed the report over and asked Rin Chihara to take a look at it and verify it, after all, if it is true, it is always not good for actors to engage in this kind of action during filming, and it is also the main service, and Rin Chihara should always know as the person in charge.

Chihara Rin also thinks that the possibility of true news is not too high, to be honest, Tetsuhei Nagano is very good to the actors under him, he can definitely say a conscience in the industry, and he has a very good personal relationship with himself, the head of the crew, Safuko will probably not change the agency as long as her brain does not cramp, but of course you still have to ask, if it is a rumor, quickly let Tetsuhei Nagano refute the rumor.

He took out his mobile phone and was about to call Teppei Nagano, but before he could dial the number, the phone rang, and he saw that it was Teppei Nagano's call.

Rin Chihara immediately picked it up and asked directly, "Nagano-senpai?"

Tetsuhei Nagano's voice came from the other end of the phone, "Chihara-sensei, I'm sorry, Safuko seems to be poached by another company." ”
