"Okay, you have so little time for equestrian training, do you want to change a stand-in?" Lao Mouzi looked at Zhou Bai, who was dressed in white and eager to try, and said with some concern.

"Don't worry, director, I'm a martial arts practitioner, I can't do actions that I don't have a sure of, don't look at it and only practice for a week, but I'm still confident that I'm galloping on a horse, and I can only see the back with a stand-in for these shots, but if I come by myself, it will be much easier for the camera to capture expressions, and it will save a lot of effort." Zhou Bai said confidently.

Today's shooting is the shot of the remnant sword riding a horse chasing the flying snow, these shots are not easy to shoot, one is to capture the actor's expression in high-speed movement, it is difficult to photograph, the actor riding a horse and galloping at the same time to make an expression in line with the plot, it is also a test for the actor.

"You are an important actor in the crew, but you must pay attention to safety, not to mention that your injury may affect your career, and it will also cause problems in the operation of the crew, so you must be careful. Zhang Yimou admonished.

He himself is very entangled, because on the one hand, he hopes that Zhou Bai can complete these actions and shoot the best effect, on the other hand, he is very worried, because this is dangerous, if he accidentally falls off the horse and is injured, it is likely not a minor injury, what will happen to the crew when the time comes.

"Otherwise, director, I'll try it first, don't ride so fast, if you feel that the difficulty is too high, then use a stand-in, if you think it's okay, I'll speed it up, so that you don't have to worry about it, after all, our shots are not just shot once." Zhou Bai thought for a while and said.

Zhou Bai is very confident in himself, because he knows how far he has trained, but others are not confident, even Zhang Ziyi feels very suspenseful, because a week of equestrian training, it is difficult to ensure that Zhou Bai has enough experience to complete the required movements.

Zhou Bai couldn't tell them that he had worked too hard during training, not only had he almost exhausted a few horses, but even the trainer had almost quit, and he had already tried many times on the horse farm for fast riding and some difficult movements.

From the bottom of his heart, Zhou Bai doesn't want to use a stand-in, because he thinks that if a professional actor completes the scene within his ability, it is best to complete it himself, but considering the danger, if it is indeed too difficult, then it is understandable to use a stand-in.

"Okay, then try it first, you pay attention to safety, although these horses are very docile, but you still have to be careful. Lao Mouzi thought about it for a while, and also felt that Zhou Bai's proposal was okay, try it first, and then use a stand-in if it didn't work.

"All units are ready, let's shoot the footage of riding a horse galloping, Xiaoding, how about protecting your side, are you ready?" Zhang Yimou shouted with a walkie-talkie.

"No problem, Director, the camera is ready. Soon Zhang Yimou got a reply.

The place where the camera was set up was on a very high dirt mountain, because several lenses were filmed of Zhou Bai riding a horse on the Gobi Desert, so it was an overhead shot, and the camera host was some distance away from where Zhang Yimou was.

Zhang Yimou asked Zhao Xiaoding, who was in charge, and Li Baoquan, a Stenicon photographer.

Zhao Xiaoding is in charge of the hand-in-hand of this scene, this is also a great god, and he will cooperate with Lao Mouzi in all his future movies, including "Return", "The Great Wall", "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins", "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree", "Ambush on All Sides", etc., can be said to be one of Lao Mouzi's royal photographers.

The photography team of "Hero" is very large, the director of photography is Du Kefeng, the queen photographer of the famous director of Xiangjiang Sunglasses Wang, Zhao Xiaoding is in charge, Hou Yong, who is responsible for large-scale scene assistance and pre-scene shooting, Li Baoquan of Stenecom photography, and a large number of camera assistants, including many foreign photographers.

Stenicam is specially used to shoot sports shots, and many shots in movies that follow the rapid movement of the characters are shot with this camera, and Zhou Bai and others will have a shot to shoot under this camera.

This lens is an experimental lens, and Lao Mouzi doesn't know if he can use it, after all, if the lens is trembling or the picture is unstable, then he has to give up.

"Xiaobai, check the equipment on your body, wait and listen to the signal from my side before you leave, okay?" Yu Lei, the drama manager, told him, he was very careful at the moment.

"No problem, Brother Lei, don't worry. Zhou Bai nodded with a smile, he would not be careless when riding on the horse, because this safety work is really important, and he can't joke with his life.

"All units prepare, start!" shouted director Zhang Yimou.

The camera was already aimed at this side, Zhou Bai heard Yu Lei's signal, slapped the horse, and rushed out.

The wind was whistling on Zhou Bai's face, and even some sand would hit his face, which was uncomfortable, but Zhou Bai's expression at the moment was anxious and helpless, because the psychology of the remnant sword at the moment was like this, and he couldn't be perfunctory just because it was not good, he was the remnant sword at this moment.

Running from one side of the beach next door to the other, Zhou Bai stopped, and then looked back at the signal on the mountain, there was no problem, which made him breathe a sigh of relief, at least this shot was not abolished.

But even a small plot of riding a horse and galloping to catch up, Zhou Bai still has to shoot many times, Zhang Manyu wanted to shoot these scenes by himself, but was rejected by the director for safety reasons.

For most of the day, Zhou Bai and Zhang Manyu's stand-ins were spent in repetition and repetition, the stuntman was almost tired and stuck out his tongue, and Zhou Bai rode too much on horseback, and he almost felt that his ass was not his own.

This is the daily shooting of the "Hero" crew, every day is very hard, but every day is very fulfilling, Zhou Bai can learn new things, and now a lot of scenes have been filmed in Dunhuang, and he is becoming more and more handy.

……

"Happy birthday to you!" In Zhang Manyu's hotel room, a large crowd of people shouted around her, congratulating her on a happy birthday.

Zhang Manyu, who was wearing a green T-shirt and a black vest outside, was pleasantly surprised, and there was a three-tiered round chocolate cake on the table, and there was a documentary photographer next to him to film it all.

On September 20th, today is Zhang Manyu's birthday, the crew prepared a big cake for her, many people prepared gifts, and basically all the main creative staff were here to spend her birthday with her.

"The world is safe, don't fight, this is the most important thing, we have to finish filming, and we have to charge a little more money. Zhang Manyu said when he made a wish, and the last sentence caused everyone's laughter.
