"The Moon Knife at the End of the World" is about to be completed, and there is an atmosphere of happiness in the crew, everyone has been working hard for two or three months, and this hard journey is about to end, of course we must be happy.

Chen Shi was busy preparing for a finale banquet, first looking for a large hotel, there were so many people in the crew, no hotel was large enough to accommodate it, and he also had to talk to the hotel manager about the banquet, of course, the more affordable the better, and the more sumptuous the dishes, the better.

However, he only made a general direction for these things, and after a brief communication with the manager, he handed it over to the people below to get it, after he contacted the hotel, he didn't care, and the crew didn't need him to manage the scene, now, Li Yalian's prestige is not small, and people have to prick up their ears to listen to every word she says, she has transformed into a real director, and she is no longer the original little girl.

It is estimated that there is no director as young as her in China, and she should be regarded as the most unique.

Of course, Chen Shi is the same, the youngest domestic director is at least around twenty-four or five years old, and they should be the youngest directors.

After contacting the hotel, he came to the scene. Li Yalian was busy directing everyone, the person in charge of the props was asking her questions, the person in charge of the costumes was also waiting, and there were many people waiting for her to deal with the problem.

The scene attendants ran around, the camera assistants followed the photographers with the camera's wires, and the actors pondered their own scenes.

The busiest is of course the field work, because the field work is the most complicated, the most tiring one, he is not as professional and concentrated as other types of work, the field work is basically groceries, there is no technical content, a person is important to stay in the crew for a few days, listen to the command, point where to play, even if it is qualified field work. Of course, the more advanced field work does not need to be commanded by others, he himself knows what to do and what not to do, often without the director and assistant director talking, he finishes the scene things, such field work is of course rare, a crew has one or two is considered good, most of the others are temporary coolies.

Chen Shi attached great importance to the field work at the beginning, so let Xiao Gao pay special attention to it, no, Xiao Gao trained a group of professional and qualified field personnel after filming a "Drunken Man", which is definitely not the kind of hard work that is casually pulled on the street.

Therefore, Chen Shi's crew is very professional, so it also saves Chen Shi a lot of worry and makes him a lot easier, and there are a lot of things that the field affairs help solve, for which Chen Shi is very grateful, and the field affairs are his main force in the future.

If you want to have his Chen family class, a little more advanced field work is absolutely indispensable, this profession, it seems that everyone can do it, it seems simple, but if there are no one or two very proficient people to help, the work of the crew will be more than one or two times slower.

Chen Shi nodded from time to time while looking at the busy field affairs on the scene, and secretly decided that after the completion of the scene, he must give a few red envelopes to the field affairs, so as to tie their hearts and let them follow him with all their hearts, and never let others snatch them away after cultivating talents.

Li Yalian came to him at some point and patted him and said, "What are you doing? Everyone is busy with the last scene, but you are here in a daze? ”

Chen Shi asked: "What are you going to do? What is it that you, a great director, can't do, and you still need me to help?"

Li Yalian didn't speak, took Chen Shi forward, walked to the side of the actor, and said, "You come here to command, I'll go behind the monitor." ”

Chen Shi was stunned, isn't this the job of an executive director? He did it once before the start of the film, and now he is going to be on it again? What about the director?

He said, "Where's your executive director?"

Li Yalian said: "He is a little trivial, you can replace it for the time being, you will command this last scene, and I will trouble you if I can't shoot it well." ”

Chen Shi was helpless, he only smiled bitterly, who let Li Yalian be his wife? In front of so many people, of course he couldn't refute Li Yalian's face, so he had to raise the loudspeaker and shout with an open voice: "All departments are ready." ”

As he shouted, everyone got busy, and Chen Shi said again: "The extras enter, hurry up, the last scene, everyone hurry up, and after filming, we will go to dinner, how about everyone not get drunk and go home?"

The crowd shouted, unconsciously speeding up, and after a while, the photographer made an OK gesture to him, which means that the camera is in place, and then as long as the actor is in position, there is no problem with the costumes and props.

He looked around and asked, "Who else is not ready?" Hurry up and say that if there is any problem that cannot be solved, report it quickly, and don't be there if you can't solve it yourself. ”

Costumes, props, lighting, etc. can be solved right away. Chen Shi nodded, and then asked the assistant director: "Are the extras alright?" The leading actor has entered, let the leading actor stand in a good position, the crowd must not move, the scene is quiet, don't talk, is the recording engineer ready?"

With Chen Shi's urging, everything that should be prepared is ready, at this time, everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, as long as he gives an order, the crew will turn up, the camera will be turned on, and then the last shot will be taken.

The costumes shouted OK, the props shouted OK, the lighting recording engineer and others all said that they were okay, and the assistant director also said that there was no problem with the extras, Chen Shi shouted again: "All departments are ready, the scene is quiet, the camera is turned on, and the recording is done." ”

After everyone made an OK gesture to him, he looked in the direction of Li Yalian, as long as Li Yalian felt that there was no problem, then he could start.

Li Yalian whispered on the walkie-talkie: "The one on the left of the extras stepped back a little." ”

Chen Shi stepped forward directly, pulled an extra, took a step back, and asked, "How is it, is this okay?"

Li Yalian said: "It's okay, don't move, that's all." ”

Chen Shi walked out of the picture and shouted: "Idle people wait for the appearance, don't be in the camera." ”

Then, Li Yalian made a gesture to Shi, and Chen Shi immediately shouted loudly: "Ready, 123 starts." ”

This is a big scene, but it is very short, just a few seconds of scenes, therefore, after everyone heard the starting password, they all rushed to the main actor, this is a scene where a group of people besiege the starring role, and the leading actor has to do not have many actions, just draw a knife and swing a knife, Fu Hongxue's most powerful thing is to draw a knife and swing a knife, no one can see the action of drawing a knife in the novel, the only thing that can be seen is only a knife light, and when you see the knife light, you have already been stabbed.

This very stream-of-consciousness depiction is difficult to turn into a shot, however, Chen Shi and Li Yalian thought of a very cumbersome method, that is, to use special effects, the fastest and shortest special effects, just a flash, not even a second of time, so of course there is nothing to see, but they didn't use conventional thinking to shoot this drama in the first place, and they are not afraid of box office failure, and their hard work is mainly in literary dramas.

This is also consistent with Gu Long's novels, focusing on the depiction before the fight, focusing on the rendering before the fight, when the real fight is just a moment.

The extras shouted and rushed to the lead actor, and then the lead actor drew his knife and swung the knife and fell down in pieces. This is the last shot, it's short, and of course it's simple, but there's a lot of preparation to shoot, and all the effort seems to be for the last shot. Less than five seconds later, Li Yalian shouted to stop, and then everyone gathered around, asking how the situation was and if they wanted to start over.

Chen Shi also passed, and Li Yalian said to the staff: "Playback, take a look." ”

With the playback of the monitor, Chen Shi also looked at it, only to see that the picture on the monitor began to move, and then a fight ended in an instant, and now, there has been no post-production, so there is nothing to look at, it is not gorgeous at all, and it feels a little earthy.

Li Yalian thought for a moment and asked Chen Shidao: "What do you think?" I always feel that something is missing, but I can't remember it for a while. ”

Chen Shi thought for a while and said, "Why don't we make up a few special effects to describe the action of the pig's foot before drawing the knife, and the action when he draws the knife." ”

Li Yalian thought slightly: "Okay, you can give it a try." ”

She couldn't think of how to shoot it for the time being, Chen Shi proposed, of course she was willing.

Next, to shoot a close-up of the protagonist, you don't need to completely restore the previous scene, you only need a few extras to cooperate, and use it as a background. Therefore, Chen Shi pulled a few people over, and after standing up, he went to call the leading actor, the leading actor Duan Yihong has not left on the side, and he will come immediately, and he doesn't need to change his makeup, it is completely the same as before, which makes Chen Shi very satisfied.

After the actor stood up, Chen Shi said to Duan Yihong: "Shoot a close-up of you for a while, it is mainly a tense atmosphere before the enemy, what you have to do is to show the mood of the master before drawing the knife, a master must be extremely focused before drawing the knife, he must only have the knife in his heart, because he believes in his knife, therefore, there is no enemy in his eyes, only the knife, only how to pull out his own knife, not thinking about how to block the enemy." ”

Duan Yihong said: "I want to think about it." Chen Shi didn't urge, he waited reassuringly, and ten minutes later, Duan Yihong nodded at him, and then he immediately shouted: "Ready, turn on, be quiet, record." ”

He looked around, Li Yalian also stared at the monitor, as long as he found something wrong, he would correct it immediately, and after the two of them were sure that there was no problem at the same time, Chen Shi shouted: "123 starts." ”

Then Duan Yihong began to perform, he first clenched the knife, then swept his eyes slightly over the crowd, and then suddenly struck, the knife came out of the sheath, the white light flashed, and then the knife went into the sheath.

It's such a simple close-up, but Duan Yihong's performance is remarkable, and it is completely at the level of a qualified actor.
