Chapter 7: Demolition Scene
After all, martial arts is still technical, there are special people on top of it, and the action director is very good, and his status is second only to the director.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but say: "The most pitiful thing is our group performance, the work is really unbearable, today I have been a dead man five times!"
"From 7 o'clock in the morning to 7 o'clock in the evening, it was so hot that I was dying, wearing a robe and a horse coat and a top hat, and the devil was about to run as soon as he chased him, and then he was suddenly attacked by a machine gun, fell down and raised his body, and tossed several times. ”
Everyone laughed, and instantly had a revolutionary feeling of hatred for the enemy, in fact, Ding Cheng didn't tell the truth, he only died twice today, and he was mixed into a small role, with two lines.
Now he is a sweet and sweet in the group performance, known as the face that appears the most, because of the care of the director and Wang Tian, and the good relationship with the rest of the crew, as long as there is a role, he basically can't run.
In addition to the fixed salary every day, at least six or seven hundred, money is a small thing, mainly experience, especially the camera scheduling and positioning, which have benefited me a lot.
The group performance is very complicated, there are three religions and nine streams, fairies, tigers and dogs, and everyone has it.
Most of them are bastards, they have no ideal pursuit, they eat enough and wait for death every day, they stand up on the set during the day, stay up late at night to eat chicken, not to mention acting, it is not easy to even live.
Then there are some local residents, many uncles and aunts are idle, wearing costumes and going around, thirty or fifty a day, not only to relieve boredom, but also to earn some money.
There are only a small number of people who really like acting, including graduates of various majors, of course, they are all ordinary goods, with a decent appearance, no background, no connections, no financial owners, all on their own efforts.
Especially for war scenes, group performances are in high demand, and in addition to war scenes, this piece has the highest labor cost. In the morning, Wang Tian also pointed to his nose and scolded a small group of leaders, asking him to find a few ruffians, but the other party found a few vegetable sellers to fill up.
As soon as the camera was shot, he walked with the same hands and feet, one step and three shakes, and the angry director scolded his mother directly!
"Do you think it's weird?" Xiao Liu pointed to a few figures in the distance and said disdainfully: "Do you see those Japanese soldiers? ”
Ding Cheng nodded, listening to Wang Tian's name Matsuda Junxiu, a native of the island country, who grew up in Osaka. My father was engaged in Sino-Japanese trade, and he went to China with his family to study at university six or seven years ago.
Now the audience is not easy to fool, in recent years, many Japanese actors have been used to act, and the language is also pure Japanese, which increases the sense of reality.
They have never been worried about not having a show, and many of them have become devil professionals because of their hateful faces, such as the one called Koji Yano in the early years.
I once chatted a few words, that guy also really likes acting, and he specially participated in the Beiying interview, when an examiner suddenly asked him what he thought of the history of the two countries after reading his resume?
Unprepared, my brain went blank, and I had to say in embarrassment: I can't answer this question.
As a result, he missed Nortel, and was finally admitted to the broadcasting and hosting major of Communication University.
Ding Cheng has observed the other party, when playing the role of an officer, his chin is slightly lowered, his lips are pursed, his eyes are slightly narrowed, and he looks forward from the bottom up, his expression will look more fierce and not smiling.
Standing with legs spread apart, one leg in front of him slightly bowed, one hand holding the handle of the saber tightly, and a slight frown, will look very vigilant, and it is most suitable to play the role of escorting prisoners.
There are several gendarme roles with a lot of faces, and the director likes to arrange some island nationals who are over 30 years old, mature in appearance, and have beards to play. Those who are too thin and have hair dyed too light are often eliminated.
Even if you play as a police officer or an officer, you are required to wear a hat, sideburns and side hair must be shaved. The image is closer to that of a soldier on the battlefield, with a dark foundation on his face, which makes him look black and dirty.
The director asked for slightly exaggerated facial expressions, imitating the kind of military-trained, murderous and ruthless images that the audience is familiar with.
I heard that the real big director is a big production, and even the group performance has to be interviewed. The crew will first ask for photos from the group performers, send them to the director team for preliminary review, and only after passing can they come to the interview.
"These bastards are seven or eight thousand a month, and they still have food and shelter?"
"Our brothers are tired and tired, and we can't get a hundred when we die a few times a day!"
"Hey, it's a pity that my parents are not angry, if I am reincarnated as a beauty......"
Ding Cheng slowly stood up, silently packed up the mung bean soup, and left the group. Chatting is to know more about the inside story, not to complain and say that it is useless to fart for a long time.
"Come here, you kid!"
Suddenly, someone called himself, and when he saw that it was Wang Tian, he hurriedly ran over, and just began to arrange the blasting point, Ding Cheng understood and stood nearby to peek.
Today is the medicine head, the size is about the same as two or three match heads, the blasting force is large, it is not easy to fragment, the weakness is not moisture-proof, and it is used more in the north.
If you are filming in the south, you generally use hose gunpowder, which has low strength and high safety, and will not hurt even if the palm of your hand explodes, but the force is small.
There are even times when the pyrotechnician has detonated the device, and the actor has not felt it, and his expression has not kept up, so he can only reshoot.
Depending on the blasting power, as for which one to choose, look at how bloody the director's taste is, and secondly, whether the actor's costume is thin or thick.
Ding Cheng has seen it several times and chatted about it, and knows that most of the bomb shells are made of foam, and then fill them with some soil ash to create the effect of dust flying all over the sky after the explosion.
When the bomb is added to the soil, people have to walk three or four meters away to avoid accidentally injuring their eyes by projectiles. If the pyrotechnic operator violates the rules and uses metal as the shell, it will be easy to be injured.
When encountering a really big scene, there are at least dozens of breaking points, and if the actor does not follow the line, he will also be injured when he passes through the breaking point.
When filming, first let the actors in place, design the movements, and then ask the actors to walk away, stand the puppets in the same costume in the same position, and then detonate the explosives and blow them up directly.
The puppets are all hollow, and you need to close-up the shot of the broken arm, just add material in your hand, and then switch to the actor's shot after the explosion, and a broken hand alive, how disgusting and disgusting it is.
This time it is to blow up a few bunkers, which requires a lot of explosives, and Lao He is specially responsible for playing explosives. Exploding a motorcycle is completely different from exploding a small car, and the range and safety distance are completely different, and it requires the experience of a blaster.
After measuring the data, Lao He and his assistant had to test the explosion with props at the location where the blasting occurred to verify whether the safety distance was accurate.
In order to ensure the effectiveness of the shooting, the safest escape route and time for the actors are designed, and after repeatedly confirming the safety, they are marked to remind the director and actors.
Everything was arranged, the director personally called the actors over, everyone held a meeting for in-depth communication, understood the intentions of both parties, established a tacit understanding, and several leading actors moved under the leadership of Lao He.
Hu Wenjun is okay, after all, he is an old Jianghu, and he has done this kind of thing. The other little fresh meat were full of nervousness, especially the female one, whose faces were all frightened, and ran to the agent to mutter for a long time, and finally asked Liu Hongyi to ask for a substitute to play.
When the second female saw it, she also learned to draw a gourd, but in the end, she had no choice but to find two stand-ins, and watched the director suppress the anger, which is estimated to be not small.
The actor didn't dare to say anything, after all, they were all big men, and the leading actors were all in person, so they could only grit their teeth and bite the bullet. I heard Lao He say that when encountering this kind of scene, the actor's trust in the blaster is very important.
The moment you press the blasting start button to escape, you can't escape fast, and you can't escape late, and you pay the most attention to tacit cooperation.
Obviously, Lao He also breathed a sigh of relief, the fewer useless vases, the better, in case something happened to him, he couldn't afford it, he finally got it done, and he was ready to start shooting.
