Chapter 261: A Happy Life After Finishing
β¦β¦
Xiangshan Film and Television City, covering a total area of 1,176 acres, surrounded by green mountains, surrounded by yellow water, the greening rate of 70 percent is visually measured, the verdant green clothes stretch all the way down from the mountain, and the film and television city is the center to the surrounding stretch and radiate, if you jump down from the sky, in addition to the black and gray quaint eaves and the main road, the eyes are full of green, green through your eyes, green to your heart...... This is a place to play in all seasons, suitable for bringing a family on holidays, full of food and drink, to feel the scenery and elegance of the man-made ancient city, and by chance, you can also occasionally see some of the crew's large-scale scene shooting.
Outside the Xiangyang City Tower, the hustle and bustle is boiling at the moment, and the sun is in full bloom.
Those who act are like madmen, and those who watch plays are like fools. Downstairs in the humble and unpretentious tall city, groups of group performers wearing armor are waiting outside, and in the open space on the outskirts, many tourists holding parasols and dragging their families take pictures openly, sometimes commenting.
The No. 1 camera fixed the position, demarcated a space in front of the city gate, there were only about 30 or so armor soldiers on the field, clearly divided into two groups of people, fighting in a group of shouts, although the number of participants was not much, but the lens was so large, from the picture in the monitor...... At least the fight is still lively.
The crew has 30 horses consigned from New Zealand, most of the domestic horses are really not very good-looking, since ancient times, the Central Plains mainland has been in arrears of war horses, and now the same, Zou Runqiu thinks that domestic horses look like donkeys, and he brought so many oceanic horses at any cost...... There is also an entourage.
In the shot, the stand-ins of the three leading actors beat their horses and rushed to the city tower from the melee, the horse's hooves raised smoke and hunted majestically.
But Zou Runqiu was still not satisfied.
"Click!"
He stood up suddenly, and the assistant handed him the megaphone, but he didn't answer it at all, and went straight forward, shouting, "What bullshit! The crew didn't give food at noon!"
The three stuntmen hurriedly dismounted and looked over in horror.
Zou Runqiu didn't speak to them, pointing at the group performers who played the soldiers and scolded: "This is a war! The war of cold weapons is the most tragic!" He snatched the short knife from the hand of one of the Mu Ne group performers, slashed it hard, and slashed it on the shoulder of another group performer, which had armor on it, and made a sonorous sound.
"See, don't you see! Hit hard! My mother is better at square dancing than you! Remember! You are now soldiers! You are fighting! You have to move!"
In such a wide field, Zou Laohu's howl was loud and rude: "It won't hurt! He will beat you hard! You will block it hard! Show me your blood! Just be your daughter-in-law as the person opposite! Kill your son! him for me!"
Not only were the actors silent, but many reporters came to visit the class in this scene, and they were also taken aback, is this what a director should say?
Someone wrote the title, The Condor Heroes, Zou Laohu's last battlefield
Some people also write that excellent people are sick? group speeches, bullying in the crew is the norm than the director
But in any case, it does work.
β¦β¦
The crew built a platform similar to the ring, no more than five meters high, Cao Xueying was tied to a pillar, a torch was lit next to her, her snow-white little face was dyed with soot, and her big eyes were curled up with tears, looking pitiful. The old actor who played the King of the Golden Wheel roared hard: "Guo Jing! If you don't open the city gate again, your baby daughter will be burned down in front of this Xiangyang City!"
The camera shoots from an upward perspective, making the platform appear towering into the sky.
Chen Xuanyi rode a horse, and the camera zoomed in.
He has always been known for his delicate performance, but in this scene, he completely abandoned his previous acting methods, and just stared, as if looking deeply in the direction of the end of the world.
Someone came on horseback behind him, and he waved his left arm vigorously: "Stand down!" and then roared: "Stand down! Go back to the city!
"Sister!"
"Guo Xiang!"
He yelled again: "I told you to go back!"
Chen Xuanyi's voice is a weakness, although the emotions are full enough, if it is presented in film and television dramas, it is still not strong enough. But on the spot, such a performance is enough to make the people around them ignore the sound and immerse themselves in the plot.
After a few lines, he didn't say more, just one last glance, then closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, the muscles of his whole face were like a taut bowstring, pulling his frowning brows, and after a while, he didn't go again, and pulled the reins hard to make the car turn its head, "Go!"
β¦β¦
Many reporters are here for the main actors, but in today's rhythm of war, they are staring intently at the filming in the field.
Most of the scenes in film and television dramas are actually quite mentally retarded when viewed on the scene, there are no post-production sound effects, special effects, you can't see the close-up in the shot, and you can't hear the lines clearly, it's like watching a group of mentally retarded people laughing and scolding.
And a scene is often very short, and it doesn't take long to click, and this sense of rupture makes the actors' performances lose their appreciation.
But Zou Runqiu successfully used this scene to first catch the tourists and reporters who were watching the scene.
β¦β¦
At 4:50 p.m., the sky is beautiful, the sunset reflects the mountains, and the glow pours into the ancient city. The warm golden light gradually falls in the layered clouds.
Zou Runqiu was stunned, and began to revise the composition again with a pat on his head.
So Cao Yifang and Du Ruoxian's appearance method was replaced, they were originally hanging Weiya, descending from the sky, descending from the sky like a fairy couple, and then killing the Quartet. At this moment, at the moment when Director Zou's spiritual light broke through the heavenly spirit cover, they were forced to appear in a more poetic picture.
When Cao Yifang and Du Ruocheng drove up the mountain in the crew's pickup truck, many people who were familiar with him howled.
Cao Fang was extremely excited, and interacted with everyone from the car: "Let's go back to dinner early!
In fact, the people who eat melons are occasionally very cute, regardless of whether they like Cao Yifang or not, they are very happy to see the star talking nonsense like an old neighbor friend.
The crowd was driven out by the crew, and responded restlessly:
"I'm not hungry!"
"You've been waiting for hours!"
"I'll leave when you're done shooting!"
The car drove not slowly, carrying exhaust fumes and smoke and dust to climb in the distance, and Cao Fangfang's voice was heard in the distance: "You will regret it!"
There was a burst of laughter.
The ancients said well, but if you don't listen to good people, you will suffer in front of you.
Everyone looked at the bottom of the mountain in a daze, and could see two small dots from a distance, standing in front of a prominent platform on the mountain stupidly, without moving.
Ten minutes later, the two rested, and the two dots disappeared for a moment.
And then it reappeared.
It took more than an hour, and when the sky was dark, they came down in a small car.
Many people have left, but there are still many people who remain, and when Cao Fang returned, he found that most of them were already wilting on the ground, like frosted eggplants, and he didn't want to go, just as the director was studying the footage they had just taken, and he took the time to go over and interact with tourists.
Sweating profusely, he signed his autograph and complained: "Just say that you will regret it." β
A girl who looked like a middle school student, after getting the autograph, was excited to hug him, Cao Fang said repeatedly: "Don't don't don't ......"
As a result, I was still embraced.
He said sweatily: "This costume hasn't been washed for a month......"
β¦β¦
Rest at night, Cao Yifang and Du Ruocheng went to the director to see the results of the scene shot before, and they were originally resentful, but after watching the presentation of the finished product, they turned to smile.
Zou Runqiu asked them to stand on the mountain platform and shoot with a long shot, but later they were not satisfied and engaged in time-lapse shooting.
So I saw two dim figures, standing alone in the slanting light of the sunset, full of heroic colors.
Cao Fang's long sleeves with broken arms, Du Ruoxian's snow-white long dress, and their long hair like weeping willows rising in the wind...... They became two silhouettes, their faces could not be seen clearly in the light of the setting sun, but they were just two silhouettes, and they were so recognizable that they were household names.
This is Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu.
The Condor Heroes.
Zou Runqiu is using this lens to point out the topic, and it is said that the post-production special effects will add the silhouette of a large eagle.
And above their heads, the wind and clouds change, and the light and shadow migrate.
Cao Fangfang's aesthetics are not bad, at least two meanings can be seen in this shot.
The winter of Xiangyang City is approaching, overturning in front, desperate and heroic.
Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu have become the embodiment of the last ray of hope.
This is art, the art of pretending.
β¦β¦
During the day the next day, the battle of Xiangyang City ended.
Yang Guo and the PK of the Golden Wheel King at least didn't look dazzling on the field, they played one round on the flat ground, and there was a cameraman next to them to help shout the rhythm, and then hoisted Weiya and played another round in the air.
It all depends on post-production special effects.
However, the last scene in which the army takes the enemy's head from it turned out to be a long shot.
Cao Fangfang has been preparing for this scene for a week, but he still feels very panicked when it comes.
"Are you ready?" Zou Runqiu walked over and smiled heartlessly: "Fight for one!"
Cao Yifang was running fast in place, doing warm-up exercises, and after stopping, the crew assistant handed over mineral water, but he didn't dare to drink more, for fear of urgency...... looked at the group performers who were waiting for him on the field, as well as several cameramen and leading actors who were waiting for him, he nodded: "Come on, it's a knife to stretch out your head and shrink your head." β
To be reasonable, he has never shot a long shot of a martial arts scene...... I've heard Jackie Chan shoot it before, and it's not a war type......
It's Zou Runqiu's whim again.
"Unit 1 is ok. β
"The ensemble is in place. β
"The second cameraman on horseback is full of energy!"
"The lights are fine!"
Zou Runqiu sat firmly in the director's chair and picked up the megaphone: "Start shooting!"
βactionοΌβ
β¦β¦
The whole procession, the army under the city wall turned from static, and it looked particularly emotional.
The sound of the fight suddenly sounded!
Cao Fang's face appeared in the camera, it was a dirty face covered with blood, bowing slightly, his scattered hair covering half of his face, squinting at the ground, as if he was extremely tired after a hard battle, and he was no longer able to fight again.
Someone is counting:
"One!"
"Two!"
"Three!"
As soon as the words fell, Cao Fang looked at the camera, his face was still the same dirty face, but his eyes burst out with an incomparable fierce look in an instant.
Murderous, arrogant.
The core of the West Maniac is a madman.
Jiang Chen said that the rhythm of acting, he smeared it according to the color on the script, and in this scene, it was the richest red.
A complete burst.
"Ahh
The chest and abdomen resonated, and the roar that gushed out of the throat went from loud to hissed, and finally almost like a lion's roar.
Three shots and two blades stabbed, he grabbed one arm, broke it, and threw it back!
The group performance was very cooperative, vomiting blood and lying on the ground.
Another group of people rushed over, and the second camera was hovering around and behind him to shoot.
Cao Fang roared and pushed with a palm, saying that it was pushing, but it was more like throwing, but his empty left arm was like throwing out a thousand-pound discus, and his expression was deformed.
To perform is to believe. Don't think about it, you look like a bad pen in the eyes of others, you have to believe that you are turning the tables against the wind at the moment, standing up to the sky.
The blowers whipped up a strong wind, and the actors playing the Mongol soldiers flew backwards in a queue. The second camera was filming the sergeants who were swept up by the wind from behind him, and he was full of substitution.
Then he rushed forward, and in front of the camera, the blackened Mongol cavalry was retreating in a hurry.
The smoke of gunpowder dispersed, Cao Fang ran and fought, overturned the two with one hand, grabbed the saber, and then rushed forward, Weiya hoisted, kicked over the group performance on horseback, and then continued to rush forward.
It's like a role-playing game, the second camera is always following behind him, and the cameraman is full of dust and smoke, and he is held tightly by a horse master, fixing his figure.
The camera followed behind Cao Yifang, watching this figure kill people all the way, grab knives, grab horses, and then the crew cruelly tripped over the real horse, Cao Fang was dangerously hung by Weiya and landed, rolled, got up and continued to run!
He was running among the galloping horses, and although the horses were not actually running fast, he felt that he was about to die, and even after all the warm-up exercises, he began to cramp in his ribs.
If this kind of shot can't be passed, the more he shoots, the more tired he will become, so he gritted his teeth and continued to run with a mouthful of dust.
In the end, he finally put the Mongolian Khan down, and he stuck the saber in his hand heavily on the ground, and the camera moved up a little at this time, only shooting Cao Fang's hideous expression at the moment.
The knife fell and the blood collapsed, and the surrounding detonation points exploded one after another, blasting one after another outward, and people shouted and neighed, and it was a mess.
Cao Fang collapsed and raised his head, real sweat flowing from his sideburns to his neck.
The camera also goes up, following his point of view.
It was a bloody firmament.
β¦β¦
The crew rushed to kill a green on October 1st and was happy.
After the long shot of the Battle of Xiangyang City ended, many other shots were actually reshot repeatedly, and finally they were edited together and special effects were added.
The post-production time card was a bit tight, but fortunately, after filming the big scenes, the rest of the scenes were relatively relaxed, and the crew was split into two teams and went to two places to shoot, and finally completed all the shooting tasks in advance.
On the day of the finale, there were many media who came to interview, half of which were familiar media arranged by Zou Runqiu's company, and the other half came by themselves.
The main actors were simply interviewed at the filming point in Wuyi Mountain, and they didn't even put on makeup.
"Director Zou, are you sure this is your last TV series? Do you have any new shooting plans for the next movie, or do you plan to take a break for a while?"
Zou Runqiu was in a good mood, and he was extremely patient at this time, "I said a long time ago, this is the last one, there are a lot of things I want to show through the story, some of which can't be installed in the TV series, oh, although the TV series is very long, it is obviously not all-encompassing in terms of content, whether it is the pursuit of story idea or visual expression, there are great restrictions......"
In addition, the one who has been interviewed more is Cui Guanhai.
"It's almost...... Cui Guanhai, who has been on a diet for a long time, held his head: "I'm a little hypoglycemic...... Shall we talk later?"
For the heroine Du Ruoshen's inquiry, the focus is on the partner partner, such as asking if he and Cao Fang are calling, whether there is a kiss scene, etc.
"It would have been. Du Ruohui rarely faced many interviews with reporters, and she seemed to be in a good state: "But he suggested canceling it, what kind of Zou-style martial arts film, there is no need to make a kiss and hug the three vulgar idol martial arts...... Anyway, Director Zou felt that what he said was right. β
Xiaolongnu secretly glanced back, then covered her mouth with the back of her hand to the camera, and whispered: "Cao Fangfang's sycophants are not left behind, obviously he wants to revise the script, and by the way, he praised the director Shi Lezhi......"
Cao Fang came from behind, and the camera shook for a while.
Fragment.
If you want to say that the best chat with reporters is Cao Fangfang, since he declassified Jiang Li on the entertainment industry, he has become a star in the entertainment industry who dares to chatter.
A female reporter from Southern Metropolis Daily asked: "Do you think the Condor will have higher ratings than your first two TV series?"
Cao Fang scratched his head: "Seriously, I really don't know what the ratings of my first two films were, I knew about it at the time, and then I forgot about it...... It's been too long, and I don't have a good memory. β
The Beijing News asked: "Do you have the confidence to use this work to get another emperor?"
Cao Fangfang: "No. β
Beijing News reporter: "......"
Cao Fangfang: "It depends on luck......
Reporter: "How can an actor win an award depend on luck, let's put it another way." β
Cao Fangfang: "Oh, that depends on the probability." It doesn't feel probable, after all, I just took it, and it caused a lot of controversy at the time, and a bunch of inexplicable people rushed up to scold me. β
The NetEase reporter smiled and asked: "It sounds very resentful." β
Cao Fang nodded: "Yes." β
Journalists: "......"
Tencent reporter: "Recently, there are many high-quality variety shows that have diverted a lot of ratings, have you ever considered some variety shows?"
Cao Fang frowned: "For example, which ones?"
"For example, the new generation of idols, where did Dad go, PUBG and so on?"
Cao Fang shook his head: "I haven't thought about it for the time being, and where is my father, what am I going to do?
A tabloid reporter laughed: "Help the Condor drama become popular." β
"There's a better way to get hot. Cao Fang had a flash of inspiration: "For example, this drama can be renamed, where did the daughter-in-law go, you all know the plot of the Condor Heroes, right? From beginning to end, it is the story of Xiaolongnu running all the time, Yang Guo has been looking for it, and on the way, he is a chivalrous and righteous sister leveling up." β
Reporters: "Hahahaha!"
β¦β¦
Not long after Cao Fangfang went back, he went to the recording studio to work as a studio worm for a week, doing dubbing work for the Condor himself.
is similar to a martial arts drama like the Condor Heroes, even if there is a sound reception at the same time, the effect is very scummy, because there is too much noise, and it can only be dubbed later.
In fact, there is an episode in this matter, originally Zou Runqiu, the director and producer, wanted to hire a professional voice actor to complete this work, but Cao Fangfang sincerely asked for a long time, hoping to dub himself.
Because he thinks that Yang Guo's voice is completely controllable by himself, and in terms of emotional control, he is definitely better than any other voice actor...... Even if they can make a better sound, this role will definitely lose to themselves in terms of emotional contagion.
So he and a famous voice actor came to a very harmonious little PK, each with a few voices of different plots, and then the director, assistant director and later did the review together.
In the end, he decided to use his own voice.
After the long holiday in October, Cao Fang made an appointment with Xie Yanting.
This time, it was directly at the root of the imperial city, Xie Yanting's territory.
At the entrance of the movie theater, Cao Fangfang, who wore a shoulder-length wig and a fake beard, looked quite artistic. He saw Xie Yanting at a glance in the crowd.
She didn't pretend too much today, but she just used a European-style makeup, and it didn't look like her original appearance at all.
"Oh my God. She stepped forward and wrinkled her nose: "You're so ugly today!"
Cao Fang seemed to be very hurt: "Isn't what you love my rich inside? A stinky skin will collapse sooner or later, only my heart loves you......"
"Okay, okay!" Xie Yanting covered his mouth funny: "Don't disgust me, hurry up and go in, you're late today, the movie is estimated to have started." β
Cao Fang was pulled into the ticket gate of the theater by her, and at the same time, she was still chattering: "You don't know the traffic in the capital, and I also saw an old woman who fell to the ground at the door of Starbucks, I thought about making money recently, so I went over and helped ......."
β¦β¦
They are looking at Avatar 2.
Cao Fang was in a good mood, and his mouth was particularly broken when he was in a good mood.
"Look, I'll just say that the second part must be the return of evil humanity...... Brought the regular army. β
"The Avatar natives are going to be cool. β
"Do you know? Actually, the director of the film Avatar wanted to film the ruthless aggression and persecution of the indigenous people of the American continent by the imperialists. β
Of course, they still beautify a lot for the sake of the commercial market, at least in the end, the indigenous people won the imperialism and temporarily kept their one-third of an acre of land, so that the movie-watching people could go home happily after watching the movie, and the ending had to be happy...... Well, if aliens killed earthlings it's good. β
"But in reality, the Indians were wiped out by rifles and smallpox, 95 percent of the population, and then they were kept in captivity as protected animals, and they were humiliated...... No, I almost wiped out. β
Fortunately, his voice was soft, and his mouth was covered by Xie Yanting's hand from time to time.
But Xie Yanting couldn't help but communicate with him when she was watching a movie.
Her eyes seemed to give birth to many little stars: "Wow, what a beautiful planet...... Only such a beautiful planet will give birth to such a beautiful race. β
Cao Fang disagreed: "Yes, everything is bright, even the pockmarks on their faces are glowing." β
Xie Yanting glared at him.
