Chapter 241: Power on
The movie was launched, and "The Moon Knife at the End of the World" is a costume martial arts film, so it chose to start shooting in Hengdian. Although Chen Shi did not invite any media and did not release any news, there are so many people in the crew, and the start-up ceremony is still lively.
Of course, you must worship God first, burn incense, and pray for blessings one by one, hoping that the filming process will be smooth sailing, and by the way, I wish the box office a big hit.
As a director and producer, Chen Shi is of course the leader, under his leadership, the leading actors and behind-the-scenes staff worshiped the gods one by one, and then set off firecrackers to celebrate, and then he said an opening remark to everyone and talked about some simple set rules.
There are a lot of rules on the set of this filming, let's talk about a simple problem of public morality and order, a smoking problem will be difficult for many crews, if one is not careful, cigarette butts causing fires are common problems.
Now, there are not so many rules for the domestic crew, it is completely barbaric, most of the people in the crew are relatively free, and no one is particularly to manage these problems, unlike later, there are special field affairs to watch, and even some field affairs are dedicated to picking up cigarette butts and garbage.
The quality of the Chinese people really needs to be improved, because there is a lot of littering, so after the crew, it is always a mess, and there are many famous attractions that have been damaged by the crew, for example, when Zhang Dabeard filmed the Condor, he polluted Jiuzhaigou and so on.
Therefore, Chen Shi deliberately asked the crew to abide by public morality and order, everyone should be civilized and polite, never litter, don't defecate anywhere, don't smoke casually, etc.
The entire crew is divided into many departments, including on-site production, life production, external production, production production (co-ordination), on-site assistant director, actor assistant director, scene reporter, costume engineer, costume assistant, camera crew and so on
Among them, the on-site producer is familiar with the scene and location in advance, understands the shooting conditions, actively participates in the communication of the assistant director, and arranges vehicles to ensure that the cast and crew arrive on time in accordance with the shooting requirements. Do a good job in the management of work order to ensure the high efficiency of shooting. After the shooting, it is necessary to organize the cleaning of the scene and restore the objects that have been moved due to the shooting. Responsible for urging the field.
Life production is the backward guarantee of the film crew, and it must be effective in logistics, catering, transportation, and accommodation must be solved well, and safety management, fire prevention and theft prevention must also be paid attention to.
After the art department provides the venue, the cost is reduced as much as possible, and the power parking space should be contacted to ensure that the vehicle traffic is unimpeded.
The production and production (co-ordination) must sketch the script, follow the director and the art to see the scene, give each department a big plan in advance, negotiate the venue in advance to leave time for the art set, pay attention to the weather forecast, make announcements in advance, understand the number of extras for the next day, be responsible for the production, reasonably arrange the number of pages shot per day, and save costs as much as possible.
The on-site assistant director and director prepare a feasible shooting plan, supervise the costumes, makeup and props on behalf of the director, assist the director in organizing the scene, and organize and guide the actors and extras to play according to the director's requirements.
The assistant director of the actor cooperates with the director to find the actors, mainly the secondary roles and extras, on behalf of the director department and the photo department to negotiate the actor scheduling plan, assign the director to contact the actors, and organize the actors to arrive at the designated place at the specified time.
The scene reporter is responsible for recording everything in detail in the shooting process on the special scene note, such as scene name, lens number, camera position, dialogue, performance connection, lens length, Han nationality prop usage, etc., follow the director at any time, record the director's modification of the script and other decisions, supervise and inspect the goofs shots, wrong lines, remind the director if there are missing shots, play the scene clipboard, record the time code, etc.
There are also costumers, photographers, lighting, etc., and there are so many things that I can't talk about in a day or two.
Chen Shi and Li Yalian have a clear division of labor, and Chen Shi has a lot more things to do, because he is both a producer and a director, therefore, many people come to him, whether it is the camera crew, or the scene notes, or the on-site producer, they have to ask him how to do specific things, fortunately, he has made a plan with the behind-the-scenes personnel before the start, so now it is just some details, and there is no need to ask more questions in the general direction.
Of course, the actors of "Tianya Mingyue Knife" have been set a long time ago, except for the two actresses, the starring role of Fu Hongxue is Duan Yihong, Yan Nanfei is played by Chen Kun, Deng Chao makes a cameo appearance as a Du Lei, the Heavenly King Ghost Slashing Knife wants a short man and a very tall person, but he has not found it yet, Gongzi Yu is played by Liu Huohua, and the other scenes are not too much.
Filming is a boring process, among them, the real shooting time is pitiful, most of the time is spent on the set and adjusting the camera position, etc., under normal circumstances, the actors are very boring on the scene, in addition to waiting is waiting, of course, there is also a meeting to discuss the role, these jobs are of course arranged and presided over by the director, because the actor's role must meet the director's requirements.
The actors discuss the situation of the role, Li Yalian is in charge, Chen Shi manages the scene, he doesn't understand the performance very well, just manages some chores, and Li Yalian is responsible for the main direction of creation, he is the one who helps Li Yalian get all the chores, and he is a big housekeeper.
The crew was on the scene, after worshipping God, they started filming immediately, and the first one today was to shoot the scene where Fu Hongxue walked alone in the sunset, of course, the sunset will not be real, only special effects, because they have no time to wait.
The role of Fu Hongxue is thirty-seven years old, very mature, Duan Yihong's acting skills needless to say, his face is also a mature face, there is no problem at all in pretending to be older, and he is lame, and his unique steps when walking are definitely a big test.
From the start of worship to the official start of filming, the personnel of the middle set finally completed the scene arrangement after several efforts, Chen Shi held a big speaker, and pointed to the staff from time to time to ask when the shooting could start.
At this time, the actors are already in place, the lighting, the photography are in place, there is no problem with the costumes, there is no problem with the makeup, everything is ready, just wait for the sound to start.
Chen Shi held the horn and looked in Li Yalian's direction, only to see Li Yalian staring at the monitor, and then beckoned to him to signal that he could start. Chen Shi immediately shouted loudly: "The scene is quiet, turn on, prepare, 123 starts." ”
With his order, Duan Yihong, who played Fu Hongxue, dragged his lame leg forward step by step, and then the camera guided him from the front, and the photographer in charge of photography stared at the machine tightly, not daring to be careless at all.
But after a while, Li Yalian stopped shouting, and listening to her tone, she didn't seem to be very satisfied. Just started up like this, the crew needs to run in, and the actors also need time to enter the play, of course, it is relatively rusty at the beginning, most of the crew must also know each other, and everyone will cooperate tacitly after they get to know each other, otherwise, it is like a bull's head is not right for the horse's mouth, nothing is right.
Seeing this, Chen Shi immediately shouted: "Do it again, you performed well just now, but we keep improving, do it again, everyone is ready." ”
The actor returns to his position, the photographer returns to his position, make-up touch-ups, costumes and props are checked to see if there is a place to wear goofs, and the scene is restored. Everything is in order, chaotic and orderly. After only ten minutes, Chen Shi asked, "Are all departments ready?" ”
The costumes and props are the fastest, and the scene is the slowest, and after the photographer shouted OK, Chen Shi knew that he could start, and immediately shouted: "All departments are ready, start immediately, start the machine." ”
As he shouted to turn on, the scene was played, and then he shouted to start, and then he started filming again.
This one, Li Yalian took four or five shots before passing, this is the first one on the first day, and it is a little unsmooth, but everyone in the industry knows that this is a normal phenomenon, and it will definitely go smoothly after a few articles.
Chen Shi only shouted a few times before stopping, he is a producer and a director, what he did just now was the work of an executive director, therefore, it is out of bounds, but he is a director and a producer, of course, no one will trouble him.
After handing over the work of the executive director to the original staff, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then went to the monitor and asked Li Yalian, "How is it? How is the actor's performance?
Li Yalian gave a thumbs up and said: "This actor is definitely a good actor, and he must have made great achievements." ”
Chen Shi nodded, of course he knew that Duan Yihong was the winner of the Golden Goblet Award, and he could be regarded as a powerful faction.
Chen Shi said: "It's only the first day, it's a little rough at the beginning, it doesn't matter, it will be smooth after a period of running-in, don't worry, look at the quality, we don't mind the cost, but mind the quality of the film." ”
Li Yalian nodded yes, and at this time, two actresses walked in, and Gao Yuanyuan asked, "Director, is there any role for us today?"
Chen Shi looked at the shooting plan and said: "There is one in the afternoon, don't leave the two of you, study hard in the crew, if you are too bored, stay in the director's tent, take a good look at how others act, and don't go wrong when the time comes." ”
Both of them are still newcomers, and Chen Shi also looked for them on the basis of their later fame, because the cost of finding powerful actors is too high and not cost-effective.
Now, there is no idol school in China, even if there is, it is also an actor from Hong Kong and Taiwan, in the mainland, most of the actors who act are from professional classes, even if they are not, they are old fritters who have been on the set for a long time, and they definitely have their own set of acting, which is definitely not comparable to the little fresh meat or small flowers later.
Zhang Jingchu and Gao Yuanyuan are definitely powerful, and they definitely have a foundation in acting, otherwise they would not have become an instant hit.
