Chapter 35: Sharpening the Knife

It was very hot, Zhong Yuanfu sat shirtless on the chair, and said nonchalantly: "Strange?

Zhou Baoshan heard this: "We have seen many crews filming martial arts scenes before, how can we shoot like this, such a long shot, who is not filming one by one? But why does the sect leader shoot so together?"

Zhong Yuanfu glanced up at him, "You ask me, who do I ask?"

After a pause, he said, "If I knew, I would still play tricks?

Zhou Baoshan heard the meaning of his senior brother's words, smiled embarrassedly, touched his head, and said: "I don't mean anything else, I mainly think that the director shoots like this, and many times the problem is on me, I don't know how much film to waste, I think...... I think ......"

"Excuse me?" Zhong Yuanfu asked. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhou Baoshan nodded embarrassedly when he heard this.

Although Zhong Yuanfu and Zhou Baoshan are brothers who have seriously participated in the filming of a drama for the first time, they have also been mixed in Jinhua Film and Television City for more than two years before, whether it is a movie or a TV series, in a year, various sets have been in and out, not to mention dozens of times.

So, don't look at it as the first time to play an important role, but they don't lack experience on set.

Generally speaking, don't talk about movies, even if it is a crew filming a TV series, as long as there are too many wasted shots, whether it is because the actors' performances are really not up to par, or because of other factors, anyway, as long as the shooting process is not smooth, such as several consecutive shots NG, etc., those producers and production directors and the like often have to show a distressed expression!

And if this is a waste of film film, it is even more ...... Either way, making a movie is simply a money-burning sport! Those expensive films, it is said that a single disc is only enough to shoot for two or four minutes, but the price is tens of thousands of yuan! On one occasion, they heard a production assistant drink too much and brag that the films used by their crew were all imported, and that a minute of film would cost more than 40,000 yuan!

They don't know what kind of film the crew used for the filming of "Once Upon a Time", but a rough estimate can roughly calculate that they have wasted at least one and a half to two hours of film in one day today, and this is still six cameras shooting at the same time!

Therefore, the director didn't say anything, the production director was not the slightest dissatisfied, and Zhou Baoshan himself felt distressed first.

This kind of thing, supposedly, should definitely not be an actor's concern, but when Zhou Baoshan raised this question, Zhong Yuanfu really felt that it couldn't be the same thing - their brothers and sisters had been playing tricks before, and they were inexplicably selected to act in the movie, among which Zhou Baoshan was still the leading actor!

Not to mention that the salary is hundreds of thousands, which has not been earned for many years, the key is that this is the leading actor of the new movie of the master, if this is popular in the future...... That's so cool to think about!

And even the pork Rong played by Zhong Yuanfu, after getting the script, he found that this was definitely not the role of a passer-by as he had guessed before, in fact, there were quite a lot of scenes in this supporting role!

Moreover, Zhou Baoshan took 300,000 yuan as the leading actor, and he, as an important supporting actor, also took 180,000 yuan!

This price may not be easy to compare with others, but compared with yourself, it is really high enough!

Therefore, they are very afraid that they will not do a good job, and if they are fired, they will all be blind!

After thinking about it, Zhong Yuanfu said: "You concentrate your energy tomorrow and strive to be able to shoot this long shot quickly?"

Zhou Baoshan scratched his head, "I want to too, but I don't know why, when no one else has an accident, I will always be nervous, and I will always be afraid that something will go wrong with me.

As soon as he said this, Zhong Yuanfu also scratched his head!

I filmed for nearly a whole day today, it was all Huang Feihong's shots, he didn't have a scene, he just stood by and watched, Zhou Baoshan said this, he naturally saw it with his own eyes.

After thinking about it, his face became more and more serious, and he suddenly said, "Or, while it's still early to go to bed, I'll accompany you out to rehearse again?"

After a pause, he said: "We can't control others from making mistakes, so let's make sure that we don't make mistakes! As long as you don't make a mistake once, there will always be a perfect one!"

Zhou Baoshan's eyes had already lit up at this time, "Let's go rehearse by ourselves?...... Good!"

The two of them went back to their rooms, put on their vests, and went up to the rooftop of the hotel.

…………

The next day, it was still the same shot from yesterday, all the way "click!", "click!", "click!".

When it was time to put lunch at noon, Lu Lingxi, who had been quietly watching, finally couldn't help but find an opportunity when there was no one around, and asked Li Qian, "What is the purpose of this?"

Li Qian smiled and said, "Grind." ”

"Grind?" Lu Lingxi was puzzled when he heard this.

Although she is a professional, she has been teaching at a top institution such as Suncheon Film Academy for many years, and she is no stranger to film, but when it comes to professional issues, you say script, photography, art, etc., she can be the first to be the head, but there is only one homework missing, that is, on-set experience!

Don't mention that she once served as the assistant director of "My Sassy Girlfriend", and she also served as the assistant director of "Princess Huanzhu" or something, those experiences can only be regarded as a little foundation at best!

However, Li Qian is also happy to pass on the experience he learned from the set of his previous life to her, "If a group of veterans get together, of course there is no need to be so troublesome, otherwise if you shoot a TV series, you can also walk slowly one shot at a time, shoot and teach and learn, and make up some shots in the future, just like Lao Han, you filmed "Princess Huanzhu" before, but this one, you can't do that!"

Seeing Lu Lingxi showing a patient listening look, Li Qian smiled and said: "So, my solution is to throw them on the set, shoot and grind over and over again, until they are almost worn out as rookie actors The fear and nervousness on the set are almost grinded, and they are more relaxed about shooting, it's almost over!"

Hearing this, Lu Lingxi showed a look of surprise, "You are just for this, so you have to shoot this shot first, and you have to deliberately shoot a long shot?"

Li Qian smiled, looking like he was underwhelmed, "That's right!"

"Let the whole crew grind like this?"

Li Qian nodded and didn't speak.

Lu Lingxi frowned, as if he was thinking about whether it was really feasible for Li Qian to do this.

At this time, Li Qiancai smiled again: "Sharpen the knife and don't cut the wood, Mr. Lu!"

Lu Lingxi didn't seem to have figured it out, and when she heard Li Qian laughing and teasing herself, and calling herself teacher again, she couldn't help but glance at him and gave him a roll of her eyes.

But then, she suddenly remembered an extremely important question, "How much film do you have to waste these days! You shoot over and over again, but six cameras are turned on together!"

Li Qian smiled and said, "It seems that you didn't observe carefully enough! Think about it, did you really hear the sound of the film turning?"

Lu Lingxi was stunned when he heard this, and his mouth opened in surprise.

Not to mention, since yesterday, the crew has officially turned on, and the camera must have been turned on, so she subconsciously thought that the camera must be turning on the film, and in fact, those photographers do ask to change the film at about the same time every time they shoot for a while, and everything looks like the real thing!

So, she never thought about it anywhere else!

As a result, who would have expected that Li Qian had actually instructed the photographers in advance, the camera was capturing the lens, but in fact, they didn't shoot at all, and they actually acted so similar!

After a long time, she couldn't help but point at Li Qian, "It turns out ...... So you ......"

Li Qian smiled and walked away.

…………

The filming of the second day was again announced before it was dark.

In the afternoon, Lu Lingxi deliberately paid attention, and sure enough, he found that these guys asked for a change of film again and again, but in fact, they changed it again and again, or those few plates, they really didn't transfer the film at all!

Lu Lingxi, who learned the truth, was quite speechless.

But apart from her, the atmosphere of the entire crew is becoming more and more depressed and tense!

During the afternoon shooting, because I was stuck in such a shot for two consecutive days, and because such a shot required the cooperation of nearly 20 people such as actors, photographers, and prop masters, as long as there was a small problem with one person, I could only be forced to terminate the shooting, but in fact, the atmosphere was so depressing, and the shot was so long, it was almost impossible for everyone to be completely free of problems!

Therefore, on the set, Li Qian was furious and lost his temper at many people!

Among them, the photographer Song Yupin was even scolded by him by pointing his nose, and many staff on the set were frightened, but Lu Lingxi sighed helplessly: They acted alike!

But fortunately, as soon as the filming ended, Li Qian immediately returned to a pleasant appearance, and he could talk and laugh with anyone - of course, a group of new actors, especially Zhou Baoshan and a few others, almost didn't dare to approach him!

And just after dinner that night, this time, it was seven or eight actors who discussed, and everyone went to the rooftop of the hotel together and began to practice cooperation.

After getting the news, Li Qian just smiled and let people not have to worry about it.

The next morning, before the start of filming, Li Qian solemnly praised Zhou Baoshan, Zhong Yuanfu and others for their practice, and encouraged them to shoot well and relax the shooting.

And when it really started filming, many people found that Li Qian's attitude seemed to have suddenly slowed down a lot!

At least, after a big morning shooting, although there are still a lot of mistakes, he rarely gets angry, but from time to time he will stand up and point out individual actors or photographers.

Then, until the third day of filming, another big morning, after everyone had lunch at noon, after resting for about half an hour, Li Qian carefully looked at the state of the actors and staff, and quietly found Fu Xuelong, and asked him to inform a few other people that they were going to shoot in the afternoon!

Then, at the beginning of the afternoon, Lu Lingxi, who was very attentive to this, keenly captured the film of the camera for the first time, and it seemed that there was a sudden turning sound.

…………

To be honest, the job of making movies and TV series is really boring for actors and behind-the-scenes staff.

And if the same shot has not been shot for three days in a row, the pressure, the boring feeling, is simply devastating - just like yesterday afternoon, many people are on the verge of collapse, the overall shooting quality is gradually improving, the probability of everyone making mistakes is decreasing, but yesterday afternoon, the probability of everyone making mistakes suddenly became extremely high!

If it weren't for the fact that the entire team is a staff member within Minghu Culture, and everyone has been running in together for several years, and the director at the scene is Li Qian himself, maybe someone would have rebelled!

However, once they survived that momentum, especially this morning, Li Qian's attitude suddenly became much more relaxed, and everyone's state suddenly relaxed unconsciously!

And in the afternoon, Li Qian actually changed his attitude again, he didn't even have a word of criticism, even if someone made a mistake that was actually very low-level, he smiled and encouraged everyone to do it again!

Then, when the fifth time of filming, except for the two assistant directors, six photographers and Lu Lingxi who knew the inside story, all the other actors and crew, almost completely unaware, unknowingly finished filming this scene!

"Click!"

Li Qian's voice sounded, "Perfect!"

Many people at the scene, including Zhou Baoshan and other actors, were stunned for a moment - although the time had only passed two or three days, they were filming over and over again, and to be honest, they were almost numb to this action and this filming!

Anyway, it's a cycle of "ready!go!" -- "click!"!

So much so that it was clear that this shot had been filmed completely, and the director didn't shout "click" from beginning to end for the first time, but after doing this shot, the first thought in everyone's hearts was, "I have to do it again!" "I have to hurry back to the original position!" and so on, but they didn't expect that this shot had been filmed at all!

Then, when everyone suddenly heard the word "over", it was quite uncomfortable!

After being stunned, everyone looked at each other, "It's over?"

Li Qian laughed and said loudly: "Pay attention, rest for five minutes, and then prepare for the next shot!"

On the third day since the start of "Once Upon a Time", the third shot is finally about to begin!

The first shot is incomparably simple, the second shot is incomparably complicated, and when the third shot is taken, it is not complicated or simple, but on the contrary, the crew after slackening down, this time it was only NG twice, and the third time passed smoothly!

The fourth shot, just pass it twice!

Lu Lingxi, who learned all this from beginning to end, was stunned this afternoon!
