Chapter 151: Filming Begins
On March 8, 2012, a month has passed since the album was released, and so far, Qin Feng's second solo album has sold a total of 21 million copies, becoming the world's best-selling music album in the past decade.
However, Qin Feng, as the protagonist, did not pay attention to the sales of the record, because he had already started filming and was preparing for the filming of the next drama.
In a large auditorium in Beijing, the lights are flickering non-stop.
And the target of these magnesium lights is a couplet, which reads: "Bright Sword" launch press conference.
Although the main figures of the press conference have not yet arrived, this does not affect the journalists' friends to press their cameras desperately.
The clock ticked to half-past nine.
The press conference will also start soon.
A beautiful hostess stepped up to the podium, showed a professional smile, and said: "Audience, guests, now I announce that the press conference of "Bright Sword" will start now. ”
"First of all, please our director, screenwriter and star, Mr. Qin Feng, everyone, applause. ”
Subsequently, Qin Feng, who was dressed in military uniform, strode onto the rostrum.
Although there is no World War II in this world, there is a World War I, and Huaxia was a country invaded by the Japanese in World War I, and has a similar history of the War of Resistance, so this drama has also received widespread attention.
Because the anti-Japanese dramas on the market are very exaggerated, and they tear up if they don't agree, everyone is also very concerned about what Qin Feng can film.
At this time, I saw Qin Feng wearing an old military uniform of the field army during the Anti-Japanese War, with two patches on it, although the costume looked old, but Qin Feng's spirit was very good.
Seeing Qin Feng's appearance, everyone showed a look of surprise.
A special temperament emanated from Qin Feng's body, although Qin Feng was very young, everyone felt a taste of time from his makeup.
Just after Qin Feng ascended the rostrum, a large area of magnesium lights completely flooded the rostrum.
Qin Feng also made a few poses one after another, and then started the theme.
"Today, I am very happy, because the TV series I have been waiting for for a long time is finally about to start filming, and I have spent a lot of effort on this drama. ”
"I'm looking forward to this TV series being able to bring something different to everyone. ”
"For this TV series, I interviewed many veterans before and after, got some information from them, and also knew the cruelty of war. ”
"This time, "Bright Sword" will be filmed according to historical facts, for this reason, I specially invited two veterans as my special advisers, "Bright Sword" This drama will completely subvert the previous anti-Japanese dramas, and I am confident that it will become a new weather vane. ”
"Thank you. ”
Then, Qin Feng strode away from the rostrum, leaving it to the host.
"Thank you Director Qin for your remarks, and now, I would like to invite the second male lead, Mr. He Jun, to talk. ”
He Jun, who was also dressed in military uniform, stepped onto the rostrum.
"First of all, I have to thank Director Qin for giving me such an opportunity. To be honest, I was full of confidence in this play, and when I first saw the script of this play, I was so excited that I couldn't sleep that night. ”
"There's only one sentence in my head, and that's that I have to get this role, and I have to participate in this play. ”
"I'm not afraid of everyone's jokes, and when I know that I was told that I passed the audition, I was as excited as a child. ”
"Hahaha. The reporters burst into laughter.
"Director Qin is a very talented young introduction, this will be a classic TV series, and I am sure everyone will like it. Thank you. ”
"Next, I invite the male number three of "Bright Sword", Mr. Zhang Guang, to come to the stage. The host's sweet voice rang out.
Zhang Guang is also wearing a military uniform, but his military uniform is for the national army, not the field army.
"When you see me in a military uniform, you should know the role I want to play, yes, I am an officer of the national army. ”
"In the play, Li Yunlong and I are also teachers, friends and enemies. ”
"We can be said to be lifelong friends, or we can be said to be lifelong enemies. ”
"Okay, enough plots have been revealed, and if I continue to talk about it, I guess Director Qin will be mad, so I won't tell you this. Zhang Guang made a little joke.
"Hahaha. The reporters laughed too.
"When I first saw this script. There is only one sentence in my heart, that is, this drama will be popular.
"Although I don't know why, I just believe that this will be a classic TV series, a real classic, and this script is also the best book I have seen in the past ten years. ”
"For this TV series, I don't want to say anything else, just one word, the drama king of the year, there must be a place for "Bright Sword". Zhang Guang's words were loud.
"Bang bang. Qin Feng took the lead in applauding, and then, the entire hall burst into applause.
After a long time, the applause gradually died out.
"Next, I invite the female No. 1 Zhang Zifeng to come to the stage. ”
This time, Zhang Zifeng was wearing a nurse's outfit.
Her coming to the stage made everyone's eyes light up, and I have to say that Zhang Zifeng is really good-looking, and she has the temperament of an angel in white wearing a nurse's uniform.
"Hello everyone, I'm Zhang Zifeng, and this time, I play the female number one. ”
"In the beginning, I was against the role. ”
Hearing this, everyone's spirit is coming, this is a big revelation!
"Female No. 1 doesn't like "Bright Sword"?" This title appeared in everyone's minds.
"However, after I read the script of the whole play, I gradually fell in love with this character, although she is not the most brilliant, but she is my favorite. Thank you. ”
Everyone may not know what Zhang Zifeng means by this, but Qin Feng does.
"Below, please invite Zhang Lan, the actor of Yang Xiuqin. ”
Zhang Lan, dressed as a village girl in the thirties and forties of the last century, stepped onto the rostrum.
"Hello everyone, I'm Zhang Lan. ”
Zhang Lan's appearance is not high among Chinese actresses, and her impression of Qin Feng is bold, and it is difficult to hide a person's personality, so Qin Feng gave up some big-name actresses and chose Zhang Lan, who is at the bottom of the second-tier stars.
"Thank you very much Director Qin for letting me participate in this play, I'm not afraid that everyone will laugh at me, to be honest, I cried when I knew that I passed the audition. ”
"At that time, I felt like I was the happiest person in the world. ”
"I am quite confident in the drama "Bright Sword", just like Mr. Zhang Guang said, the annual drama king must have a place in "Bright Sword". ”
"In the play, I am a village girl in the countryside, and at the same time a member of the underground party of the field army, of course, I have also developed a special relationship with Li Yunlong. ”
"Well, that's it, thank you. ”
Zhang Lan nodded and didn't say any more. This makes the reporter dissatisfied, what is a special relationship, can you say more?
Such a good news breaking point is gone.
Subsequently, the main creators of "Bright Sword" also came to the stage one after another, met with everyone, and also talked about their optimism about the drama "Bright Sword".
In the end, Qin Feng and the main creators took the stage together and left the first family photo of the crew of "Bright Sword" on the rostrum.
Now let's move on to the Q&A session. The host said.
"May I ask Director Qin, what is your expectation for the ratings of this drama, is it possible to break the record set by "Love Apartment"?"
"I don't have any expectations, just set a small goal, which is to break the record of the highest ratings of "Love Apartment"!"
"What?" was a sensation, really a sensation.
The reporters are excited, this is a big explosion, the small goal is to break the highest rating of "Love Apartment", doesn't it mean that the ratings of this show will go to more than 15? What kind of concept is this, not to mention the annual drama king, even the ratings record of nearly 20 years may be broken.
That's a big hit.
As long as there is Qin Feng's words, then, they have not come in vain.
Of course, Qin Feng is also well-founded for saying this, in the other world, the ratings of "Bright Sword" will break ten.
Qin Feng didn't believe that the "Bright Sword" in his hand would be worse than the other world.
The press conference of "Bright Sword" came to an end with the exclamation of reporters.
The next day, before dawn, Qin Feng had already gotten up, the scene to be filmed today was a war scene, which was very important, and there were many things that needed to be taken care of.
"Are they all up?" Qin Feng said to Wang Hai, the assistant director in charge of logistics and actors.
"It's all up and having breakfast. Wang Hai also looked tired and said.
"Well, that's good, tell everyone to hurry up, the people over there will come over to film with us today, and ask the props team to prepare those costumes. ”
"Well, I will arrange these things, you don't need to worry. Wang Hai responded.
"By the way, are the two old men up?" Qin Feng asked. The two old men Qin Feng said, they are both veteran soldiers, and they have experienced no less than dozens of big battles in their lives, and there are hundreds of small stations.
It can be said that he is a real soldier and soldier, and this time he was fortunate to be able to invite these two old men to be consultants, and Qin Feng himself felt a little lucky.
"I'm already up and running in the morning. Wang Hai sighed: "I have to say that these two old men are physically tough. ”
"Well, you should go to eat too, when the time comes, there will be no food to eat. Qin Feng said.
"Yes, I know. Wang Haiying said: "Director Qin, you can eat too, if you collapse, the crew of "Bright Sword" will not be able to play." ”
Wang Hai made a little joke.
"Hehe, I know. ”
The busy time passed quickly, just eight o'clock all at once.
And the crew of "Bright Sword" also drove to the place where they will be filming today.
At half past eight o'clock in the morning, military trucks drove to the scene, soldiers jumped out of the trucks one by one, and then, columns of teams appeared on the vast field, and the sound of "one, two, one" was heard throughout the venue.
Qin Feng looked at this scene and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "This is a real soldier." Because this drama needs a large number of extras, Qin Feng also cooperates with the military film and television company, and the military also attaches great importance to this drama, so the big scenes are all made cameos by soldiers.
Then, Qin Feng and the two old men went to meet with the person in charge of the military.
The person who came first saluted the two old soldiers, and then said to Qin Feng: "This is Commander Li, in the days to come, he will cooperate with you." ”
"Hello, Head Li. Qin Feng smiled and stretched out his right hand.
"Hello. Captain Li first saluted, and then shook hands with Qin Feng.
"Excuse me, what should we do now?" said Head Li directly, his style of action can be called decisive.
"In this way, you first ask the brothers to change their clothes, and you can ask Assistant Director Wang for the specific change of clothes. ”
"Deputy Director Wang, come over here and take the brothers to change their costumes. Qin Feng picked up the walkie-talkie and said.
"Yes, Director Qin, I'll be there soon. ”
"Then it's troublesome to Director Qin. Head Li said.
"Polite, polite. I don't know, how many brothers have come here?" Qin Feng asked.
This is what he is most concerned about, since he is ready to do a good job of "Bright Sword", Qin Feng certainly thinks that the more classic it is, the better.
And the war scene, as one of the most brilliant places in "Bright Sword", of course he will not waste it.
"Please rest assured Director Qin, I brought two thousand people this time, if the number is not enough, you can add more people. Head Li said.
"That's good, that's good. As soon as he heard this, Qin Feng's whole person was relieved, he actually had an idea about "Bright Sword", that is, to present the most realistic war scenes to the public.
The current anti-Japanese dramas are basically a soldier who can withstand a few enemy soldiers, if the historical facts are really like this, then it will not be fought for so long.
In other words, the current anti-Japanese dramas are more entertaining and have no educational significance at all.
There are even many people who say, "How stupid and stupid are the widows." ”
However, you must know that in the eight-year War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the casualties in China reached 35 million, what a big number.
If the Wako are stupid, then what are we?
And the reason why "Bright Sword" is liked by the public is because it is closer to historical facts, at least, the war scenes are closer to historical facts.
Five minutes later, Wang Hai hurried over.
"Lao Wang, this is Commander Li, you take your brothers to change their clothes, and the field army will change to seven hundred people. Qin Feng pointed at Head Li and said.
"Okay, I got it. Wang Hai responded.
"Captain Li, please follow me. Wang Hai said.
"Trouble the king. Head Li said.
"It's not troublesome, it's not troublesome, it's just troublesome for you. Wang Hai said with a smile.
Half an hour later, 2,000 people were redressed, 700 field troops, and 1,300 "little widows".
"Make-up artist, speed make-up. Qin Feng said into the walkie-talkie.
In order to deal with this scene, Qin Feng prepared a makeup team of 100 people, and the makeup of ordinary soldiers could be solved in just five minutes.
However, although the speed of makeup is fast, it is still relatively rushed.
At first, he thought that the big guy would send a thousand people here at most, but who knows, two thousand people came at once.
"Director Qin, our makeup team still needs to be expanded. Wang Hai said.
"Well, you can recruit a hundred more people. Qin Feng said.
Nowadays, there are indeed a bit of few people, according to one-on-one makeup, one person has five minutes, and two thousand people have to finish the makeup, then it will take 100 minutes.
However, time is not calculated like this, ordinary soldiers need makeup, and they, the main creators, also need makeup, and the time is longer, and the number of people needed is also larger.
"That's fine. Wang Hai said.
"With these 100 people, it will be able to alleviate a bit. ”
Two hours later, Qin Feng stood on the top of the hill in high spirits, looking at the dense crowd below, and a sense of pride surged in his chest.
"How are the various positions prepared?" Qin Feng took the pager and asked,
"The number one position is ready. ”
"The second position is ready. ”
"Position 3 is ready. ”
"Position 4 is ready. ”
"The fifth position is ready. ”
"Position Six is ready. ”
"Position Seven is ready. ”
"Position eight is ready. ”
For this scene, Qin Feng prepared eight cameras.
"Okay, five-second countdown ready, five, four, three, two, start. Qin Feng gave an order into the walkie-talkie.
"Kill, kill. ”
I saw two teams of people wearing different colored uniforms rushing at each other, and artillery fire continued to ring out on both sides.
This time, the shooting is mainly medium and long-range, so Qin Feng and other main creators do not need to participate in the performance.
Only when shooting close-up shots will they be the main creators.
"It's a spectacular sight. Ning Hao sighed beside Qin Feng.
"yes, it's spectacular. Qin Feng also sighed.
The current anti-Japanese dramas basically do not have medium and long-term visions, but due to the support of the military, "Bright Sword" is available.
In the previous life, due to the popularity of "Bright Sword", this script was also remade later, and the name was "New Bright Sword".
However, "New Bright Sword" has been criticized by many people, and the main reason is because of the lack of medium and long-term vision in "New Bright Sword", which lacks the motivation to make male hormones rise.
Can a war film without a medium and long perspective still be called a war movie?
That's why Qin Feng is so excited and so proud.
