Chapter 473: The First Day of Shooting

"Xiao Yao's companion in the outdoor live broadcast is Zhan Youcheng?" Many reporters at the scene showed a hint of surprise in their expressions, "No wonder Xiao Yao's outdoor live broadcast in the "Kirin" during this time was during the day on weekends!" Although many of them, the reporters who mainly focus on the traditional entertainment industry, do not pay attention to the online live broadcast, but Xiao Yao is not an Internet celebrity anchor, but a star in the serious traditional entertainment industry, and they still know some about Xiao Yao's live broadcast.

"There are outdoor sports scenes in the early stage of the movie, which involve professional and difficult actions such as rock climbing," Ye Jiaying took over and said, "But our film did not prepare a stand-in for Xiao Yao, all professional actions will be completed by Xiao Yao himself, I think this is another excellent reason to choose him as the leading actor?"

Having said that, there seems to be no reason for reporters to keep an eye on Xiao Yao as the leading actor. What the specific effect is, let's wait for the movie to be completed and released.

Next, the reporters asked some regular questions about other actors, the cost budget of the film, the estimated release time, etc., and Ye Jiaying also answered them one by one, and the press conference ended successfully.

After the news report about this press conference came out, it immediately attracted the attention of many netizens. Whether it is Ye Jiaying's first time directing, Xiao Yao's first time starring in a movie and playing the leading role, the mother-son relationship between the two, and the two of them in their directorial film debut and film debut, they chose the difficult genre of biographical films, which are very topical. There are also many netizens on the Internet who have started discussions about this.

At the press conference, the reporters seemed to be persuaded by Ye Jiaying and Zhan Youcheng to approve the choice of Xiao Yao as the leading actor, but after the news report was released, there were still a lot of doubts and discussions on the Internet about this. And if you really count it, everyone seems to be more worried about Xiao Yao playing the leading role in a movie for the first time than Ye Jiaying is worried about being a director for the first time, and there are many voices of decline.

Xiao Yao made his debut as the role of "Chengying" in the TV series "Lingyunzhi", and many people also liked Xiao Yao at that time. Among Xiao Yao's fans, film and television fans should be the most qualified. But in the past six years, Xiao Yao has only made a short film "Tuner" two years ago in addition to shooting MVs and making a cameo in a TV series for a few minutes. The short films that are mainly played in the form of videos on the website are not formal film and television works in the eyes of some fans, not to mention that they are only ten minutes long, which cannot meet the expectations of Xiao Yao's film and television fans at all.

After such a long time, Xiao Yao is finally going to have official film and television works again, and he is also the starring role of a big male lead movie, how can these fans not be excited? Even if this movie has just started, when it will be completed and when it will be released, Ye Jiaying has not given a specific time, but Ye Jiaying's movie should be unlikely to get a release permit and not be scheduled, and sooner or later it will appear on the big screen in the theater, and fans always have hope.

Here Xiao Yao's fans are happy because Xiao Yao is going to make a movie, and many voices of depreciation of their idols suddenly appeared on the Internet, and fans are naturally extremely unhappy, and they also launched a counterattack on the Internet for the first time, arguing with those netizens who look down on Xiao Yao.

Don't look at Xiao Yao hiding from fans at the airport, his attitude towards fans doesn't seem to be very good, but Xiao Yao is the only star in the entertainment industry who can really take fans to play flash mobs and travel by car together, and have this kind of private close contact. In fact, Xiao Yao's fan viscosity is very high, and every time there is something really unfavorable to Xiao Yao on the Internet, Xiao Yao's fans spontaneously maintain the combat effectiveness of their idols is also surprisingly high.

Such a controversy on the Internet also made a good pre-promotion for the movie "127 Hours", and the name of the movie had already given a deep impression to the majority of netizens when the movie was just started.

A week after the press conference, all the final exam subjects of the Shenju Performance Department were over, and the school began its summer vacation, and Xiao Yao immediately flew to Sichuan Province to meet the crew of "127 Hours". However, although the crew is in Sichuan Province at this time, it is not in Wuyou County, but in Jiuzhaigou County near Jiuzhaigou.

Filming doesn't have to be done in the order in which the plot develops. According to the shooting plan formulated by Ye Jiaying, in the first week of filming, it was basically the filming of scenes without Xiao Yao, and after Xiao Yao joined the group, he also filmed the exterior scenes first, and then filmed the indoor scenes. The main part of the film is the part where Zhan Youcheng is buried in the ruins of a collapsed basement. This paragraph is the focus of the movie, and it is the most difficult to shoot, and it is natural that Ye Jiaying was put to the end.

There is a clip in the movie where Zhan Youcheng recalls living with his parents when he was buried. Because it is a very ordinary life scene, it is not difficult to shoot, and because it is Zhan Youcheng's childhood, an eight-year-old boy plays Zhan Youcheng when he was a child, and Xiao Yao is not needed, so the crew first filmed this section.

After the filming of this part is completed, the crew will shoot the location in the field. The outdoor scenes in the movie are mainly the scenes of Zhan Youcheng played by Xiao Yao doing outdoor sports, there are scenes where he is alone, and there are also scenes where he is with other actors, in fact, there are quite a lot.

The shooting of the first stage was not very difficult, and the shooting went relatively smoothly. When Xiao Yao finished the exam, Ye Jiaying had just finished filming the clip of Zhan Youcheng's life with his parents when he was a child, and pulled the crew to Jiuzhaigou County to prepare for filming the outdoor scenes.

When there was an earthquake in Wuyou County last year, Jiuzhaigou, which was dozens of kilometers away, was also affected to a certain extent. Although only a dozen tourists were injured and no tourists died, this also dealt a big blow to Jiuzhaigou's tourism business. When they learned that Ye Jiaying needed a location in the field for filming, Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area took the initiative to contact the crew and invited them to come to Jiuzhaigou to shoot, and they would do their best to provide convenience for their crew.

On the one hand, they do this because this movie is about the people and things during last year's earthquake, which can help everyone get rid of the shadow in their hearts during last year's earthquake, and it is helpful for everyone to restore their confidence in traveling to Jiuzhaigou, and they also want to help. Of course, the more important thing is to use Ye Jiaying's movie to promote and restore the tourism popularity of their Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area.

The scenery of Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area is very beautiful, and it is a very suitable location. In general, it takes a lot of money to use this as a location. This time, it is rare for the scenic spot to take the initiative to contact and put forward a lot of preferential conditions, and Ye Jiaying does not mind helping Jiuzhaigou to do publicity. Since it is a win-win choice, Ye Jiaying chose the location here.

Xiao Yao flew to Jiuzhaigou County by plane on the day he finished the exam, and the arrival time was already evening. The crew did not have a filming task that night, and everyone also held a welcome party for Xiao Yao. Xiao Yao officially met with everyone in the crew, got to know each other and got acquainted with each other, and then went back to the room to rest.

After resting for one night, early the next morning, Xiao Yao set off into the mountain with the crew.

Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area has provided a lot of convenience for the crew, and Ye Jiaying also wants to repay by adding some shots of the beautiful scenery of Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area to the movie to do some publicity for it. Of course, the scenery of Jiuzhaigou is very beautiful, and these shots can also add a lot of color to the movie.

In fact, the crew only arrived in Jiuzhaigou County yesterday during the day, and after settling down, the time was not early, and they had not yet entered the mountains and ditches to start filming on location. In the early morning and early morning, Ye Jiaying did not arrange the filming of the actors' performances, but first directed the photographer to shoot the scenery of Jiuzhaigou, and by the way, gave Xiao Yao, who had just arrived yesterday, more time to rest and enter the role state.

In addition to some shots taken by the photographer carrying the camera, Ye Jiaying is also preparing to shoot some panoramic shots of Jiuzhaigou through aerial photography.

"Bayi, do you want to play with drones?" Before shooting the aerial footage, Ye Jiaying found Xiao Yao and asked.

When it comes to aerial photography, Ye Jiaying did not spend money to rent a helicopter, but used a drone equipped with a high-definition camera to shoot. Ye Jiaying's idea was actually thought of after watching Xiao Yao's MV for "Alone" last year and listening to him talk about his filming experience. Since she got the inspiration from Xiao Yao, and knew that the aerial footage in the MV was shot by Xiao Yao himself, Ye Jiaying wanted Xiao Yao to have another addiction to playing with drones and operate the drone shooting by himself.

"No," Xiao Yao shook his head, "Didn't you specifically hire someone to operate the drone shooting?

"Yes, there are people, but you can take turns to shoot, and you can also change to rest. Ye Jiaying said, "Anyway, it's about shooting materials, it doesn't matter if you shoot more, you can also give me more choices, the more the merrier." ”

"No need," Xiao Yao still shook his head, "I'd better prepare the play I'm going to play in a while." ”

Speaking of which, operating a drone for aerial photography is also a photographer's job. Xiao Yao said that he didn't do anything in this movie except acting, for fear of weakening the impression that this movie was Ye Jiaying's work. Xiao Yao is a photographer, and he is a professional in terms of picture composition and the use of light and shadow, and he doesn't even participate in the screenwriting, let alone be a photographer.

"Okay. Then you prepare well, and we'll shoot your scene after lunch. Seeing that Xiao Yao was not interested, Ye Jiaying was not reluctant, and instructed Xiao Yao to direct the shooting of the photographer who operated the drone shooting.

When the drone was scared, the rest of the crew was not idle. In the afternoon, what was going to be filmed was a shot of Zhan Youcheng rock climbing played by Xiao Yao, and the rest of the crew came to a pre-selected section of rock formations with a height of more than ten meters, and started various preparations before filming under the command of the assistant director.

Although Jiuzhaigou County is not far from Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area, their location is not an area open to tourists, the road to come in is not easy to walk, it is not easy to come in, everyone will not go back to the county at noon, and they will shoot all day long when they come out.

At noon, the drama staff brought a box lunch to everyone, and the crew had lunch at the filming location, took a short rest, and were ready to start filming in the afternoon.

Before the start of filming in the afternoon, there were a few more people in the crew, and several entertainment reporters were led to the filming location of the crew by the staff of the scenic spot.

Because the filming of this movie has caused a lot of discussion on the Internet and has attracted a lot of public attention, many media reporters have sent a request to Ye Jiaying to visit the crew for filming. Ye Jiaying selectively agreed, so the crew will also appear some reporters from time to time.

Today is the first day of filming in Jiuzhaigou, and it is the first scene after Xiao Yao joined the group. Although this wild place is not easy to find, and the road is not easy to walk, the number of reporters who came even exceeded that of the first day of filming after the start of filming.

The reporters have already reported on the first scene of directing the first scene as a director, and Ye Jiaying knows that these reporters are coming to Xiao Yao today. She is very confident in Xiao Yao, and she doesn't care about the visits of these reporters, as long as they don't affect the filming of the crew, then they are optimistic.

"Let's go through the position first!" "When I had lunch just now, Ye Jiaying had already gotten together with Xiao Yao and told him the first scene, and when filming began, Ye Jiaying directly asked Xiao Yao to take a position.

"Okay!" Xiao Yao nodded and began to move according to Ye Jiaying's requirements, so that the photographer could choose the appropriate camera position and shooting angle.

"OK, it's time to start shooting! All departments are ready to ~ start!" Ye Jiaying commanded while sitting behind the monitor.

"The first shot of the seventh scene of "127 Hours", the first article...", the scene reporter stretched the clapper in front of the camera and shouted.

"Smack!" the slapstick slammed the slapstick down.

Xiao Yao, who was wearing a helmet, appeared in the picture with his back to the camera, stretched out his hands and grabbed a bulge on a rock wall in front of him, and then stepped on the bulge on the rock wall with both feet in turn, and after the body arched, Xiao Yao stretched out his body again, stretched out his right hand and climbed a higher bulge, after grasping it, his left foot was lifted up and landed at a higher place, and after stepping on it, he exerted force, driving his body up, and his left hand climbed higher...

"I'll go, Xiao Yao just climbs like this? I really don't need a stand-in and it's nothing, but why is there no safety measure at all? Ye Jiaying won't take her son's life seriously, right?" Several reporters couldn't help but whisper. Although Xiao Yao's climbing movements were smooth and beautiful, what they noticed was that Xiao Yao did not have any safety measures. In their eyes, a helmet is nothing of protection.

"Cut! Okay, this shot is over, the next shot. Ye Jiaying shouted with satisfaction.

"Director Ye, Xiao Yao is just climbing with his bare hands, why don't you have any safety measures?" While the staff was preparing for the shooting of the next shot, a reporter walked up to Ye Jiaying and asked the doubts in his heart.

"Xiao Yao only climbed up two or three meters in this shot, and the ground below was flat, so there was no danger to him, so the safety rope could not be used, and the goofs were avoided as much as possible. When it comes time to work at height, of course, we will take safety measures. Ye Jiaying patiently explained, and then began to rush people, "I'm sorry, we're about to start shooting the next shot, what's the problem, when I go back to the county in the evening, I'll give you time to interview." Now, please don't disturb the crew's filming!"

"Oh, okay!" the reporter nodded knowingly, and immediately stepped back. In fact, her purpose has been achieved.

In the next shooting, as Xiao Yao's position continued to rise, not only did he have a very thin transparent safety rope on his body, but he also used various tools such as stone cones, stone hammers, and safety ropes in the later scenes. Due to the action in place, the protective safety rope did not play a role, and Xiao Yao climbed to the top of the rock formation more than ten meters high at one time.

"Damn, Xiao Yao's skills are not much worse than professional rock climbers, no wonder there is no need for a stand-in. ”

"These things, it seems that Xiao Yao had shown them before when he was live broadcast on Qilin. ”

"Isn't the person who was with Xiao Yao in the live broadcast Zhan Youcheng?"

"Zhan Youcheng seems to be a professional outdoor enthusiast. It seems that in the past few months, Xiao Yao and Zhan Youcheng were not playing blindly, not only experiencing the role, but also learning a lot from Zhan Youcheng. ”

"It must have been taught by Zhan Youcheng! I just don't know if Zhan Youcheng would have taught Xiao Yao these without that high-tech prosthesis. ”

"Without that high-tech prosthetic, Zhan Youcheng can't teach it if he wants to, right?"

Seeing Xiao Yao's performance, the reporters who visited the class whispered again.

Next, the crew shifted their positions and went around the road to the top of that section of the rock formation from the side to shoot the footage of Xiao Yao after climbing to the top of the rock.

In the camera lens, a pair of hands appeared on the edge of the rock top platform, and then Xiao Yao's helmet head popped out, and then the entire upper body, after the whole person went up to the top of the rock, Xiao Yao stood on the edge of the rock top and exhaled heavily.

Facing the open scenery in front of him and the oblique sunlight, Xiao Yao, who was quite relaxed, shouted: "Cool"!

At this time, it was already three or four o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun was shining diagonally. Xiao Yao is facing south, and one of the cameras is shooting Xiao Yao's side face right in the east. In the lens of that camera, because of the backlight, the oblique sunlight shone through, as if Xiao Yao's entire side face was plated with a circle of silver edges, and the whole picture had a dreamlike feeling.

This is the last shot in today's shooting plan, and Xiao Yao is not the only one in the following scenes, and Ye Jiaying didn't expect Xiao Yao's shooting to go so smoothly, and he didn't bring other actors to the filming location today, so he couldn't shoot other shots, so after this shot is over, the crew can call it a day today.

With Ye Jiaying's "Cut! It's over!" Xiao Yao also completed the first day of shooting of his first feature film with this very dreamy lens.
