Chapter 547 "Star Wish" is drawn

Jiang Xia said that he was doing it casually, he was really doing it casually. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

When they actually arrived at the parking lot of Hengyu Commercial Building to shoot, the crew understood what Jiang Xia meant by casually, it was a bit too casual.

In line with the idea of easy first and then difficult, the crew came here and filmed the scenes in the mall first.

In the scenes in the shopping mall, the main operators are not the leading actors, but Zheng Yi who plays the supporting role of Long Wu.

Zheng Yi is not very famous, and he even plays very few supporting roles, mainly because he has a problem with his appearance, or a problem with his expression, and he looks a little too fierce. Not only that, but he also has few usual facial expressions, and it seems that it is difficult to make some difficult expressions. Although he is an actor, he has also acted in dramas for many years, mainly playing tricks, making various cameo appearances for a few minutes, and there are not many scenes with key roles at all.

However, the cold style on his body really satisfied Jiang Xia.

Long Wu in the original version of "God of Gamblers" is played by Xiang Huaqiang, Xiang Huaqiang is a famous movie boss, in Hong Kong, one acre and three points of land, it is rumored to have a background related to the black, how it is, Jiang Xia is not very clear, but looking at his appearance, he is said to be a big brother on the road, and he really has that style.

How is Xiang Huaqiang's acting skills, Jiang Xia has not seen many of his movies, except for the role of Long Wu in the gambling film, I really haven't seen his other roles, but I seem to have heard of it somewhere, Xiang Huaqiang was once shortlisted for Best Actor, and it is reasonable to think about his acting skills. However, in the whole "God of Gamblers", there are not many places for him to show his play.

Zheng Yi's basic look is similar to the coldness of Xiang Huaqiang when he played Long Wu, Jiang Xia took a fancy to him at a glance when he first chose an actor.

Wearing a suit and holding a gun, Zheng Yi was the coolest of all the actors present.

It's very simple to shoot, it's very simple to hold a gun, and even it's very simple to shoot, but it's difficult to embody this marksmanship, and the crew is not very familiar with it, and they don't know how to behave. No matter how much you watch a movie, when it's time to shoot, you'll be blind.

Just the setting of a blood bag bursting has to be tried over and over again.

However, that was everyone's idea before the start of filming, and after the actual filming started, everyone found that it was not difficult.

It's very simple to burst the blood bag, although Jiang Xia has never filmed a gunfight scene, but he has a lot of experience in filming martial arts costume dramas. There are also scenes of blood splashing in the ancient costumes, and Jiang Xia directly took it and used it.

As for the effect, naturally it can't be as real as the real gunfight movies now, and everywhere it gives people a more childish feeling.

What is shown in the lens is indeed generalized, but this is the first impression of shooting, Jiang Xia has already figured out how to edit when shooting, and when the editing is completed, the effect should be much better than now, and when shooting, most of them use long shots, very few places use close shots, and there are fewer close-ups.

Seeing that Jiang Xia was doing this, the entire crew was speechless, can the blood rush of martial arts be the same as the blood rush of gunshot wounds?

"Director Jiang, is this really the only way to do this?" the people from the props team came over to ask Jiang Xia, or rather, they were suggesting Jiang Xia.

It's too unreliable, it's too fake, it's too casual.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Xia insisted on going his own way and said: "Just do it, there is not enough time, and there is no time to do it again." ”

"But the final effect ......" The props team still want to redeem it.

"Brother, that's something I should be worried about, just do my job. Jiang Xia patted him on the shoulder and said.

That guy had no choice but to sigh and leave. Jiang Xia, on his side, continued to greet the shooting, commanded the camera position, and was still directing the group and teaching them how to act.

Being a director is very tiring, and sometimes you have to teach not only group acting, but also leading actors. Even if it is Fang Ye at the actor level, Jiang Xia has demonstrated to him many times how to perform, and his performance is not always satisfactory to Jiang Xia, let alone others, being a director is a tiring job, especially Chinese directors, who are even more tired.

"When you're shooting, in this position, standing between this car and this car, a little closer to this side, and then you get shot, and when you fall to the ground, you have to turn over, and you have to shoot the person in the back, you have to shoot the moment you roll over, you have to get the timing right. Jiang Xia gave Fang Ye a play there.

Fang Ye's comprehension ability is very strong, but his action is a little weaker, so Jiang Xia also asked people to invite a stand-in, so that he can save Weiya.

was talking about the drama here, and Zhuang Hao ran over over there, panting and said, "Jiang ...... Jiang Dao, Hu ...... Call...... Look for...... I found a mother and son who are willing to cooperate. ”

"Oh, let's go, let's see. Teacher Fang, you stay here for a while, and I'll be back right away. After Jiang Xia finished speaking, he hurriedly followed Zhuang Hao.

Fang Ye didn't mind, he himself tried to play the effect that Jiang Xia wanted here, except for turning around and falling to the ground, he could do everything else, it seemed that he really had to let the stand-in play when he turned around.

Jiang Xia hurriedly followed Zhuang Hao, the main reason was that when he arrived at the mall to shoot the gunfight scene, he remembered that an important supporting role was missing.

In the original version of "God of Gamblers", the scene of the shootout in the shopping mall can be said to be Xiang Huaqiang's personal performance of Long Wu, in the clean battle, there is a small episode, that is, on the escalator, it happened to hit the young mother who was pushing the baby stroller to go shopping, and in the fright, the baby car stuck on the escalator and went down with the escalator.

After the fight, Long Wu followed the center of the escalator down together, trying to save the baby several times, and finally turned over when he was about to go to the bottom, and when the baby car was about to overturn, he straightened it and did not let the baby be hurt. Interestingly, after Long Wu rescued the baby, he also looked at the baby and touched the baby's cheek.

When I watched this paragraph at the time, I felt very interesting, and later after the Internet buzzwords came out, it can be called "contrast cute". On the one hand, there was a shootout of blood and fire, and the ruthless Long Wuyi shot one and killed many people, but on the other hand, he was kind enough to save an innocent baby, and touched his cheek so lovingly.

When revising the script, Jiang Xia did not take this section down, but kept it.

However, he forgot.

Revised the shooting plan, until the shopping mall, the shootout scene in the parking lot started filming, Jiang Xia remembered that he didn't look for the baby, so he asked Zhuang Hao to take a few people to the entire shopping mall to find people, so he rushed to the people who brought their children to the shopping mall, and asked them if they were happy to let the children make a cameo appearance in the filming.

Yesterday I let them go, and it wasn't until this afternoon that the good news finally came.

Jiang Xia originally thought that if there was really no way, he would simply let Jiang Chenxi make a cameo, but fortunately, Zhuang Hao and the others finally found a mother and son who were willing to cooperate and brought people over.

The young mother is indeed very young, it is estimated that her age is not as old as Jiang Xia, she looks very small, and the child is also very small, and she looks very cute.

"Director Jiang, this is Ms. Wang. Zhuang Hao introduced to Jiang Xia.

"Hello Mr. Jiang, I am your fan, and it is great to have the opportunity to participate in your movie. Ms. Wang said to Jiang Xia excitedly.

Before Jiang Xia could speak, he was blocked by her call, but he reacted quickly, and immediately smiled: "It's also my honor to have such an enthusiastic fan as you." ”

With this relationship, Jiang Xia's communication with Ms. Wang was very smooth, and after signing a photo with her, the two parties signed a contract, and Jiang Xia didn't let her help in vain, and the main role was not her, but her son.

The shootout in the mall has not yet been filmed, and the crew is divided into two parts, an assistant director takes people to shoot in the mall, and Jiang Xia takes people to shoot in the parking lot. Now that the important trick has arrived, Jiang Xia will take someone over to shoot this scene first, and it can't let people shoot for several more days like the crew, so it needs to be assaulted.

Zheng Yi has no opinions, he has been an actor for a long time, he has a lot of experience in dealing with this kind of emergency, his skills are good, and the action director has already taught everything, he knows it in his heart, and it is natural and smooth to do.

In an afternoon, it took three to shoot the effect Jiang Xia wanted.

Thanks to Ms. Wang again, a group of people hugged the child to take pictures, and I really thought that this child was cute enough.

The child is cute enough, so cute that Jiangxia misses her daughter.

When she returned to the hotel that night, Jiang Xia called You Fangfei and asked her to record a video of her daughter sleeping for him.

Jiang Xia watched the video with a smile for a while, and then fell asleep full of exhaustion, and the next day he got up energetically and filmed bit by bit.

The time is too tight, how can the production cycle of a movie be filmed and released in more than a month. In order to catch up with the schedule, I can only work overtime to shoot.

The crew is also filming at night, not far from the hotel, filming some scenes in the house, as long as it does not involve exterior scenes, it can be filmed.

The staff can also work in shifts, and the assistant director can also be responsible for a set each, but he Jiang Xia is a director, generally speaking, several venues have to be seen, without his control, not to mention the assistant directors, even Jiang Xia himself has no bottom in his heart. They hadn't seen what the gambling movie was like, and they didn't know what the rhythm was.

Although gambling films are just in the name of gambling, in fact, there is no difference from the rhythm of most Xiangjiang movies, but the people of Hengying, Jiang Xia is really not at ease, if they are really powerful, they will not lose so many years, even if they are acquired by Hengyu to establish Hengying, they are still losing money.

Jiangxia filming is really hard work, except for filming Lu Xiaofeng with CCTV, it feels really relaxed, and filming "Star Wish" and "God of Gamblers" is very tiring. The tiredness of "Star Wish" is the tiredness of self-directed and self-acting, and the tiredness of "God of Gamblers" is the tiredness of being in a hurry.

However, what made Jiang Xia more pleased was that after filming the shootout scene, the entire crew really honed their tacit understanding, and the speed of filming the later scenes was really much faster, even when filming another subway fight scene, the speed was very fast, and the location scene was filmed in just two days.

Exterior scenes are more difficult to shoot than interior scenes, and you have to test many times just to choose a place and security, and when you really shoot, the manpower used is also very toxic. Especially in subway fights, the space is small, and the action design is more difficult.

The protagonist of this scene is still Zheng Yi, and the clean and neat movements are not done by stand-ins, all by himself. Many older actors in Xiangjiang have practiced martial arts, and as long as the movements are not difficult to a certain extent, they can complete them in person. Even Jiang Xia, a half-martial artist, can complete action scenes, not to mention a boy like Zheng Yi.

Except for this difficult scene, there are really not many difficult scenes, mainly some scene switching and scheduling problems, which are a little easier to shoot than gunfights and building escapes.

Jiang Xia was very relieved after filming the subway fight, the difficulty had finally passed, and the city rhythm he was familiar with was behind, and he felt too relaxed without action scenes.

After filming these two scenes, Jiang Xia gave the crew a day off to combine work and rest. It's not good to be in a hurry and tighten the strings, and he himself has things to deal with.

Jiang Xia had a lot of things to deal with, the most important thing was to go to the capital to listen to the accompaniment tape.

The songs of the album have long been given to You Fangfei, and she was asked to supervise the band to get accompaniment, this time there was no Zhang Pengpeng staring, Jiang Xia was not at ease, so she had to take a look in advance. In addition, "Star Wish" has all been drawn, and he has to follow the follow-up CD editing.

On the night of the announcement of the holiday, Jiang Xia flew to the capital.

It was also a little time to rest so that Jiang Xia could take a look at the news of "Star Wish". "Star Wish" has been painted for a while, and movie theaters across the country, except for some things that are not very on track, have stopped showing "Star Wish".

Generally, the release cycle of a movie, radio and television gives 20 to 35 days, and then it depends on the situation. Good movies can naturally win more airtime, and bad movies will even be released one day. For example, a certain movie by Guo Degang in his previous life was pulled down one day after its release and was no longer screened. Anyway, there are so many movies, if you don't have one, there will be a top.

Is "Star Wish" a good movie? Of course, it is a good movie, and Jiang Ming is in charge, and he actually spent 35 days in the cinema before it was taken down. Although in the end, it has fallen to the point of one day or even one every two days, but in the end it is still making box office.

However, it is enough to satisfy Jiang Xia, he didn't dare to postpone the broadcast, "Star Wish" has not reached that level.

Thirty-five days after its release, the box office naturally earned more.

Jiang Xia got the news that the box office broke a record, breaking the highest box office record for pure love-themed movies, and pulling the record up by 10 million, with a total box office of 550 million, which is only one line higher than the 540 million of the former box office record holder of love movies "Love at First Sight".

However, Jiang Xia also has regrets, as a rookie director, it is impossible to say that he is not greedy for the highest box office record of a rookie director, but 710 million, although "Star Wish" broke out, it can't reach it, this is limited by the subject matter, and there is no way at all.

Perhaps, there is a chance that you can hit the billion mark with another romance movie?

Jiang Xia squinted his eyes on the plane, as if thinking about the possibility. (To be continued.) )
