At the beginning of May, "Journey to the West" officially started filming in Phoenix.

Whether it is the light and shadow company or other production companies, they all hope that this film will be a box office hit, and they are also very demanding for film shooting, and there is no relaxation. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Although Bai Yi's last "My Sassy Girlfriend" was very successful, it was a low-budget love movie after all, and the filming was not difficult, but this time "Journey to the West" was a costume drama with a lot of action scenes, so it was naturally very difficult to shoot.

The light and shadow company is still a newcomer in film and television, and Qianlin Pictures is naturally responsible for the filming of "Journey to the West", and the boss Xie Hongfei, as the producer, specially introduced a famous martial arts finger Dong Xiaochen to Bai Yi, who is responsible for the shooting of martial arts scenes.

The filming of "Journey to the West" is very difficult, and it is not comparable to the small-budget "My Sassy Girlfriend", if Bai Yi hadn't studied at Yenching Film Academy for a period of time, I am afraid that it would still be a little difficult to deal with a costume movie with an investment of 60 million.

Because the script is nearly three hours long, the shooting time will naturally be longer, and almost all the staff involved in the production of the film, whether it is actors or production staff, have a common feeling of "tiredness" at the moment. The estimated filming period is actually four months, so in more than 100 days, the filming of the next two episodes of the film is very tiring for the film staff of the light and shadow company who are still newcomers, and this shooting task was once rated as one of the hardest films by the staff of the light and shadow company.

Jiang Xi looked at Bai Yi, who had been wearing costumes and had no time to rest, frowned, and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry, can't the filming progress slow down a little?"

"Is this okay?"

Meng Yu, who played the second boss on the side, took Jiang Xi's words and said with a smile: "The last time I filmed at Director Lin's place, didn't you see that Director Lin was really high-intensity, the tiring thing was not the work, but Director Lin's terrifying grinding scene, he could come to a scene repeatedly, obviously it was already very good, but I still think it could be better." “

Meng Yu is an old actor, and Qianlin Pictures has recommended him to play the second master, and he doesn't have too many problems, he often acts in comedy, and he plays the role of the second master very well.

Because it is invested and produced by various companies, it is natural that people from other companies are indispensable.

Bai Yi is not too old-fashioned, as long as the actor is suitable, he will naturally not object.

Jiang Xi couldn't help laughing when he heard Meng Yu complaining about Director Lin, Director Lin Dong's seriousness in the circle can be said to be not weak, and he said: "Brother Meng, don't you mean that Bai Yi often films. “

Meng Yu nodded and said: "This should be the smoothest drama I have filmed, many times it is a pass, director, I don't mean that you are too demanding, too casual." “

Bai Yi didn't care about Meng Yu's words, because the movie is a nonsensical comedy, and one or two laughs will be inadvertently exposed many times during filming, but fortunately, the number of laughs of professional actors is still very good, and the filming atmosphere of the crew has always been very joyful and full of laughter.

That's probably the easiest part of shooting.

Of course, this is not to say that Bai Yi is relaxed about shooting, on the contrary, Bai Yi is very demanding, under the current film technology, he naturally hopes that he has spent a lot of thought on the picture, special effects, and even costume modeling, hoping to make the story of "Journey to the West" very perfect and exquisite.

really let everyone see a wonderful version of "Journey to the West".

……

Even though the atmosphere of the crew is very good, it is still undeniable that the filming work is heavy.

For this reason, Bai Yi divided the filming work into three groups, Group A naturally had Bai Yi in charge of filming literary dramas, Group B was composed of Dong Xiaochen in charge of martial arts scenes, and Group C was formed when he returned to Yanjing to shoot interior scenes after filming on location.

The hardest thing in this is of course the actors, often after finishing one group after another, Bai Yi, who is the director and the starring actor, is naturally more tired, in order to coordinate the two groups of filming of literary drama and martial arts, Bai Yi is naturally more painful, and it is common to work for more than ten hours in a row in the crew.

This is also the reason why Jiang Xi is worried that Bai Yi's body will be affected and he will not be able to hold on.

Both the cast and crew often start work at 5 a.m. and don't finish until 7 a.m. the next day. Even so, not too many people complained, after all, all filmmakers know that making movies is very grinding and tiring.

In fact, the most tiring thing is not the working hours, but the weather, it is a hot summer, it is the beginning of the heat wave, and it is in the desert sand like Phoenix, it can be said that the two worst weather here have been experienced by the crew of "Journey to the West".

At night, the temperature drops quickly, but the weather doesn't delay the shooting, and you still need to shoot when it's time to shoot.

……

An excellent film and television work, in addition to a rigorous logical narrative, superb acting skills of the actors and a script full of dramatic conflicts, should also have art scenes as the support of the whole play. The bizarre magical world in "Journey to the West" is to be desolate and lonely enough, and it is obvious that the scenery here in Phoenix is very suitable, and at night, the desert seems quieter and more desolate.

It is in this desolate place that the story begins, little by little.

The desert is quiet and desolate, but the shooting location is very lively, there is no feeling of loneliness and desolation at all, the staff are busy transitioning, and various departments are also busy preparing, and until the filming really begins, there is no quiet at all.

Leng Qing sat next to Bai Yi, watched a scene that had just been filmed in the monitor, suddenly smiled, and said: "Bai Yi, I like this story more and more now, and I find that many of the lines in it are really getting more and more interesting." “

"Just don't blame me for squeezing you all the time. ”

As he spoke, Bai Yi nodded at Dongzi and Tao Yue, signaling that the scene had passed, and he was ready to transfer to the next scene.

The makeup artist on the side came up to touch up Bai Yi's makeup, and said with a smile: "Director, you can squeeze it, but you have to give some comfort after squeezing." The crew has been busy all this time, and they don't have time to rest, don't you say?"

"Don't worry, when the movie is finished, I will definitely give you a red envelope. “

Hearing Bai Yi's words, Dong Xiaochen's side of the martial arts scene had just finished work, and he was also very happy, smiling and talking.

Dong Xiaochen watched Bai Yi finish the last scene of the night, walked over, and said, "Bai Yi, do you know? I didn't understand at first, why did you make this movie, this movie is so bad, I don't dare to think that this story was written by you, but now I often read this story, and I feel more and more that this story is really sad." Especially after watching the scene by the old city wall. “

"I'm relieved to hear you say that, and I have to thank you, Brother Dong. Later, I have to go back to the Yanjing interior studio to shoot, and I am still busy. ”

When Dong Xiaochen heard Bai Yi's words, he couldn't help but make a bitter face, there was indeed a lot of work in the back. (To be continued.) )
