Chapter 478: Filming Completed
Xiao Yao asked for a dark and separate space, and naturally had no opinion on the small black room being closed. It's just that he asked the costume and makeup department to help him change into the costume he wore during the shooting, put on the makeup he needed for the shooting, and then entered a small room that the assistant director helped him find.
Half an hour later, the shooting scene was ready, and the assistant director went to release Xiao Yao.
The scene of the collapse at the time of the earthquake was created with post-production special effects, and the set in this studio is the scene that has collapsed after the earthquake has stopped. Today is the first time to shoot in this studio, and the first scene filmed is the first reaction of Zhan Youcheng, played by Xiao Yao, after discovering his environment after a brief chaos during the earthquake.
Xiao Yao lay down in the shooting position in the studio, and the staff lifted the finished prop stone, pressed Xiao Yao's left calf, and exited the shooting area. Because the legs were pressed by the stones, the character could not move, which also eliminated the early positioning process, and the lighting and photography part adjusted the angle of the lights and cameras according to Xiao Yao's position and Ye Jiaying's shooting requirements, and the shooting could begin.
"All parts are ready ~ start!" Seeing that everyone was ready, Ye Jiaying, who was sitting behind the monitor, raised the walkie-talkie in her hand and shouted.
After the scene was played, Xiao Yao did not act immediately, but continued to lie motionless on the ground for a few seconds. Just when everyone was a little confused, Xiao Yao slowly opened his eyes, then sat up with his hands on the ground. His action also caused some dust from his hair to scatter one after another.
The basement at this time is not pitch black. When entering the basement, it is natural to turn on the lights, although the earthquake interrupted the circuit, and the energy-saving lamp on the top also fell down because of the impact of the earthquake, but there are still two emergency lights on the wall of the basement that automatically start after the power failure, and the emergency light on one of the walls fell down because of the earthquake, but there is an emergency light that hangs crookedly on the wall and does not fall, and only one of the two bulbs is smashed, and one of the bulbs is on. With the light of this emergency light, Xiao Yao could barely see the environment in the basement.
From Xiao Yao's shocked expression, it could be seen that Xiao Yao had understood what was happening, but Xiao Yao did not shout in a hurry, but groped his head, face and upper body for the first time, checking whether he was injured.
After the head and upper body were checked, Xiao Yao just showed a relaxed and happy smile, and then a painful expression appeared on his face. Xiao Yao looked at his lower body, and then found that his left calf was pressed by the stone and could not move. At this moment, the smile on Xiao Yao's face immediately disappeared and was replaced by a panicked expression.
If you are just buried in the rubble, as long as you don't suffer any major damage, you still have a relatively good chance of being rescued, and you can find a way to climb out. But once the foot is pressed and unable to move, the situation is very dangerous. Xiao Yao immediately stretched out his hands and grabbed his left leg and pulled it out, stretched out his right foot against the stone that pressed his left leg and kicked it hard, and then leaned over his upper body and put his two palms on the stone that pressed his left leg and pushed it out. But no matter what effort was made, the stone that pressed the left leg did not move at all, and the left leg was still pressed and could not be withdrawn.
"Help~Help!Is there anyone?Help!" Xiao Yao finally didn't calm down, turned his head and shouted loudly in the direction of the basement door. There was a tremor in the shout, and there was a faint hint of crying, and the fear, nervousness, and helplessness in it could be clearly heard.
At this time, Xiao Yao, who has fully entered the role, gives people a very different feeling.
The filming of this movie has been going on for more than half a month, and the crew has been in contact with Xiao Yao for some time. When filming outdoor sports scenes before, Xiao Yao gave everyone the feeling that he was very good and a good seedling of an action actor. Later, when filming the quarrel scene with Han Siying, everyone further felt that Xiao Yao's acting skills were also okay, worthy of being a student studying acting, at least much better than those so-called traffic students. Now when I see Xiao Yao's performance, everyone already feels that Xiao Yao is a real actor.
“Cut!” Just when everyone was applauding Xiao Yao's performance, Ye Jiaying shouted to stop, and then shouted dissatisfiedly, "What's the matter with the emergency lights?
According to the plot, at the end of Xiao Yao's call for help, the half-hung emergency light on the wall should flash a few electric sparks, and then the bulb flashed a few times, and it was unstable. With this sudden sound and change in light, Xiao Yao, who called for help, woke up from his anxious and chaotic mood and forced himself to calm down and consider the situation in front of him. But Xiao Yao's shouting was over, but the emergency light that had been dealt with did not react at all, making Xiao Yao's next performance a blank.
"I'm sorry Director Ye!" a prop master immediately waved to apologize to Ye Jiaying. He was so involved in watching Xiao Yao's performance on the sidelines just now that he was distracted when he should have operated the props and didn't keep up.
"Concentrate!" As a female director directing for the first time, Ye Jiaying's temper is obviously much better than those "tyrants on the set", just said a word to the prop master, and then pinched the walkie-talkie and commanded, "Attention departments!
"Xiao Yao, how is your status now?" Ye Jiaying asked Xiao Yao again.
"Give me three minutes to get emotional. Xiao Yao smiled helplessly. That cry for help just now was a small emotional outburst, his eyes were already red, and he needed time to readjust to start from scratch.
"Okay, just say when you feel better. Ye Jiaying nodded.
"Alright!" Three minutes later, Xiao Yao shouted and lay down on the ground again.
"All parts are ready~ This time everyone is focused! Let's go!" Ye Jiaying commanded again.
In the second case, the prop master did not make any more mistakes. Hearing the sound of electric sparks, Xiao Yao stopped shouting and turned his head to look at the half-dropped emergency light on the wall. Looking at the flickering lights, Xiao Yao's heart was shocked, as if he remembered something, and immediately turned up the pockets of his clothes. I didn't find what I wanted in my pocket, so Xiao Yao's eyes searched the basement.
Following Xiao Yao's gaze, a mobile phone that was pressed under a stone appeared in the lens. Judging from the exposed part of the stone, the main body of the phone has been smashed, and it is obvious that it can no longer be used. The despair in Xiao Yao's eyes flashed, and then he shook his head, as if he had shaken off some of the frustration in his heart, and continued to search around on the ground.
When he saw the backpack on the ground, Xiao Yao's eyes lit up. Before the earthquake, he came in with a backpack to look for trekking poles. When the earthquake struck, he was looking for trekking poles, and although he removed the backpack he was carrying, he put it at his feet, and the backpack was not far from where he was lying.
Leaning sideways as much as he could, Xiao Yao stretched out his arm, and finally reached one of the straps of his backpack. After pulling the backpack to his side, Xiao Yao breathed a sigh of relief. Then, Xiao Yao opened his backpack, took out all the things inside, and placed them on the ground within his reach, along with a sports watch with a luminous function that he was wearing. Looking up at the emergency lights hanging diagonally on the wall, and then turning his head to look in the direction of the basement door, Xiao Yao turned back to the pile of things on the ground and thought quietly.
"Cut! This is good!" Ye Jiaying stopped this time with satisfaction, "Prepare for the next shot." ”
In the plot of the movie, after "Zhan Youcheng", who has completely calmed down, puts out all the available things, the first step is to use a flashlight to observe the basement environment more carefully. Through observation, he noticed that there seemed to be gaps in the ruins, and he didn't have to worry too much about the air. But even so, he only had a bag of food and a bottle of water by his side, and the situation was still very serious for him who was underground and could not move.
Being underground, lacking food and water, and not being able to move, the first thing that needs to be solved in these more severe situations is the problem of not being able to move. So after opening the water bottle and taking a sip of water, he picked up the small hand axe that was placed on the ground from his backpack, and bent down to chop the concrete stone that was pressing on his left leg, trying to free his left leg.
They went on a trip to the wild to climb the mountains, and there were no rock climbing projects, so there was no stone cone and stone hammer in the bag, only a small hand axe to open the way. This small hand axe to open the way is used to remove weeds and branches, and its effect on stones is already limited, and the lower leg of the left leg is pressed upwards with the bone-facing bone, and the knee cannot be bent, this action is also greatly restricted, and the effect is naturally more discounted.
The action of chopping the stones continued for several hours, until the edge of the hand axe was blunted and there were still places where the blade was broken and missing, and "Zhan Youcheng" had to give up.
Just when "Zhan Youcheng" was in despair, he suddenly heard the sound of the search and rescue team on the ground. "Zhan Youcheng", who ignited hope, immediately pulled his throat and called for help. As a result, he shouted intermittently for nearly half an hour, but did not hear the slightest response. When the movement on the ground disappeared, the mood of "Zhan Youcheng" fell to the bottom again.
After the search and rescue team on the ground left, although "Zhan Youcheng" was disappointed, he was not completely desperate, he ate half of the only bag of food, drank some water, and prepared to rest for a few hours before thinking of a way. Although it is summer, it is already cold underground, and the temperature at night is relatively low, so it is quite cold to sleep like this. In order to reduce the consumption of body calories, "Zhan Youcheng" tied a hand axe and rope together, hooked a sleeping bag scattered on the ground in the basement, wrapped the sleeping bag around his body, and then fell asleep.
In a trance, "Zhan Youcheng" recalled in his dream the scene of climbing the mountain with like-minded friends. At that time, they all went up to the mountains, closer to the sun to feel the sun. Thinking of that feeling, "Zhan Youcheng" sat up suddenly. seems to be reluctant to breathe freely and see the small feeling of the mountains, "Zhan Youcheng" once again mustered up the courage to survive.
The small hand axe is useless, the rope used in mountaineering appeared in the dream just now, and "Zhan Youcheng" hit the idea on the bundle of rope beside him. At this time, it was already the second day, and "Zhan Youcheng" ate something again, drank some water, regained a little strength, and began to toss the bundle of ropes, wanting to use the rope to pull the stone that pressed his legs.
The work took most of the day. Through continuous efforts, "Zhan Youcheng" finally put the rope on the stone that pressed his left leg in the best way he thought was best. "Zhan Youcheng" pulled the rope with both hands, but the stone was still not moving. After another failure, "Zhan Youcheng" ate all the remaining food with some self-defeat, and collapsed to the ground again.
This time, the appearance of his girlfriend suddenly appeared in the mind of "Zhan Youcheng", from acquaintance, love, to quarrel and breakup, the experience of the two appeared in his mind like a movie.
"It's a good thing she's gone, otherwise she might be the one lying here now. Zhan Youcheng muttered, with less despair in his tone, but more happiness.
The sudden sound of rain woke up "Zhan Youcheng" from his trance. After waking up, "Zhan Youcheng" found that a stream of water was flowing through the cracks in the ruins. "Zhan Youcheng" was taken aback. Immediately move the belongings around you to avoid being washed away by the water, and at the same time try to lift your upper body to minimize contact with the current.
At this time, "Zhan Youcheng" heard the sound of someone moving on the ground again, and he was overjoyed and immediately opened his mouth again to call for help. Last time, "Zhan Youcheng" was in a better state and made a louder sound, which did not attract the attention of the search and rescue team above, and at this time the sound was quieter, and it was mixed with the sound of rain, which was naturally more difficult for people to hear. Thinking of this, "Zhan Youcheng" also remembered that it was raining and dark, so he used a lighter to light some of the fabrics around him that were used to wrap around him to maintain his body temperature, hoping that the fire could be transmitted to the ground and attract the attention of the search and rescue personnel on the ground.
This time, "Zhan Youcheng" is still in vain. After a while, the sound of the rain stopped, and the noise above disappeared.
Looking at the glow-in-the-dark sports watch, more than fifty hours have passed. At this time, the food was eaten, the water was drunk, and even the half-hung emergency light on the wall had already been extinguished, so it could only be illuminated by a flashlight. "Zhan Youcheng" really felt hopeless.
In the darkness, "Zhan Youcheng" remembered what happened when he was a child, remembered his parents at home, and struggled to sit up again. Licking his chapped lips, "Zhan Youcheng" took the water bottle in his hand. Water is much more important than food, and the consumption is much greater, and from the next day, "Zhan Youcheng" is to urinate in a water bottle and not waste his own urine.
In the next three days, "Zhan Youcheng" basically spent it in darkness. Only when I can't stand it anymore will I turn on the flashlight and take a sip of my own urine from the water bottle.
On the afternoon of the sixth day, the movement of search and rescue personnel was heard again on the ground. "Zhan Youcheng" sat up reflexively and looked up with a hopeful face. "Zhan Youcheng" opened his mouth to speak, but found that his voice was so hoarse that it was difficult for him to hear. In desperation, he could only turn on the flashlight and keep shaking it in various crevices of the ruins.
In the past few days, "Zhan Youcheng" can only see the time through the watch, and has never seen sunlight, which means that the light of the flashlight must not be directly illuminated. But just as it was dangling, "Zhan Youcheng" seemed to see a gecko being disturbed by the light of the flashlight and passing through the cracks in the ruins.
Seeing the gecko, "Zhan Youcheng" immediately remembered the gecko's ability to escape with a broken tail, his heart perked, and his eyes unconsciously turned to his suppressed leg. After hesitating for a while, knowing that this was the last chance, "Zhan Youcheng" firmly tied the rope below the knee of his left leg, and then raised the small hand axe and cut down along the edge of the stone...
Such a long plot is almost Xiao Yao's one-man show, which is relatively difficult to act, and more importantly, it has experienced several mood ups and downs and transformations. The part of the memory, Ye Jiaying has already finished filming, and she can show it to Xiao Yao to help him transform his emotions. As for the part of the search and rescue team outside, only when the last time came out, a search and rescue team member found and rescued "Zhan Youcheng", which did not appear in the movie twice before, but was presented through sound. Xiao Yao can only change his emotions through imagination.
This is undoubtedly very difficult for a twenty-year-old rookie actor. But after the whole shooting, Xiao Yao did a pretty good job. Not only Ye Jiaying expressed her satisfaction, but after shouting "Cut", the crew couldn't help but applaud Xiao Yao's performance several times.
In fact, this filming is not only very difficult and hard for Xiao Yao, but also the crew is also uncomfortable.
It's July, it's already summer, the temperature is not low, and the studio is a relatively closed environment, hot and stuffy, and it's very hard to shoot in it for a long time.
But in terms of hard work, Ye Jiaying, as the director, and Xiao Yao, the starring, should be the hardest two people in the crew. One of these two is a movie queen, and the other is a "little king of the music world", both of whom are worth a lot of money, and they should be much more delicate than anyone in the crew, but these two are silent about the stuffy environment and hard work, and the rest of the crew is embarrassed to complain.
After a month and a half, with the concerted efforts and hard work of all the crew, the filming of the whole movie was finally completed smoothly.
Although there are post-production parties such as editing, soundtrack, and special effects production, as well as a series of work such as submitting for review and scheduling for release, these jobs have nothing to do with Xiao Yao. After the movie was completed, Xiao Yao could finally take a break and leave the crew for a vacation.
