Episode 556: The Decisive Moment
After only one night's rest, Zheng Xiyi returned to the crew ahead of schedule, although there were many emotional scenes in the finale, but the more important thing was the action scenes, and these two parts needed to be discussed with Zheng Xiyi to finalize the shooting plan, so Li Zhenfan still called Zheng Xiyi and arrested him back to the set.

The emotional scene is not difficult to solve, the only thing to determine is to what extent Zheng Xiyi can do it, so Zheng Xiyi tried to show Li Zhenfan one scene at a time, and Li Zhenfan sighed while changing the shooting plan. As a director and screenwriter, of course he hopes to shoot better, but considering the ability of the actors, it is not too difficult to design, but he didn't expect Zheng Xiyi to act without pressure, what else can he say, shoot in the most ideal way. The action scene is a big trouble, not only a one-to-many melee, but also a one-on-one duel, it took Park Jung-ryu and Jung Hee-yi more than six hours to determine all the fighting moves, Lee Jeong-fan saw the two of them simulating the fight process, his eyes lit up, and he was full of anticipation for tomorrow's official shooting.
It was not until more than ten o'clock in the evening that a few people finally finalized the final script, Li Zhenfan waved his hand and prepared to entertain him, but Park Zhengyu and Zheng Xiyi were too tired, Zheng Xiyi was better, this military training greatly improved his physical fitness, but Park Zhengyu really couldn't bear it, and tomorrow he had to demonstrate a new action design to the actors, so in the end, everyone still recorded this meal.
A group of people left the set and were about to go home, Jung Hee-yi looked at Park Jung-yul and said, "Park pd.nim, do you want me to send you back, you can't drive like this now, right?"
Park Zhenglu gave Li Zhenfan a look, and then said: "No need, my house is not far from Zhenfan's house, just take his car back, don't bother you." ”
Although Li Zhenfan didn't know why Park Zhenglu was glaring, he hurriedly said: "Nei, I'll send him off, Xiyi, you go back early to rest, you have worked hard today." ”
Zheng Xiyi observed his words and knew that the two of them probably had something to talk about in private, so he didn't insist anymore, and after saluting and saying goodbye, he got into the nanny car and left.
Li Zhenfan watched Zheng Xiyi's nanny car drive away, and then asked, "Zhenglu, is there something wrong?"
Park Zhengyu reached out and wiped the sweat beads on his head, frowned and thought for a long time before saying to Li Zhenfan: "Zhenfan, although the action design has been completed, we have to be very careful when shooting tomorrow." ”
Lee Jeong-fan didn't know why, Park Jung-ryu continued: "The new action design is definitely much better than the previous one, but at the same time, it also greatly increases the danger, Hee-yi has added a lot of military hand-to-hand dagger combat moves, and if you are not careful, you may be injured." ”
"I didn't think it was dangerous when I saw you experimenting with it. Li Zhenfan looked at Park Zhenglu in shock, this is not a joke.
Park Jung-ryu sighed and said, "We didn't use force during the experiment, and the fighting speed was at least two to three times slower than normal shooting, so it didn't look so dangerous, but it would be dangerous if everyone attacked when we were shooting." ”
Li Zhenfan suddenly had a headache, "Then why didn't you say it when Xiyi was there just now?"
Park Zhengyu was a little embarrassed and said: "Xiyi's idea is good, and this scene is indeed better after the change, don't we just want to do the best when we spend so much effort?" So I was a little lucky at first, but the more I thought about it, the more I felt that it was too dangerous, but looking at Xiyi's hard work, I couldn't say it in front of him, and the result was until now." ”
Li Zhenfan rubbed his temples and said distressedly: "Then what should I do? If you don't come up with a new action, it's okay, but now that you have such a great action design, but you tell me it's dangerous, what can I do?"
If it is changed to the European and American film circles, Li Zhenfan's distress is completely impossible, Europe and the United States attach great importance to the safety of actors, and if the crew is injured, it will almost be a big scandal, which will have a serious negative impact on the box office, but this is in South Korea, and it is more likely to affect the box office if you don't work hard, so Park Zhengyu's worries are really a big problem for Li Zhenfan.
The two of them stood stupidly by the side of the car and thought for a long time, Li Zhenfan patted his head, opened the car door and said while sitting in the driver's seat: "Hey, I'm still standing stupidly after a tired day, can't I think about it in the car." ”
Park Zhengyu's legs were weak, and he could only stand firm by leaning on the car, and he reacted when he heard Li Zhenfan say this, and also opened the car door and sat in, and the two of them sat in the car again and smoked cigarettes and worried.
After thinking about it for more than half an hour, the two of them didn't come up with any good ideas, Park Zhengyu finally took a breath, saw that the time was not early, stretched out his hand to pat Li Zhenfan and said: "Forget it, don't think about it first, go home and think about it, it's really not okay to make some modifications during shooting tomorrow, and try to ensure safety while ensuring quality." ”
Li Zhenfan nodded helplessly, started the car and left the set.
At nine o'clock the next morning, Jung Hee-yi was startled when he arrived at the shooting site, Lee Jeong-fan, Park Jung-ryul and director of photography Lee Tae-hun all came, standing in the middle of the hall to discuss something, Park Jung-ryul kept walking around to demonstrate, Lee Tae-hun held a camera around him, as if he was simulating the situation during shooting.
"Eh, Director Lee Nim, Director Park Nim, Director Tae-heon Nim, who are you?"
Li Zhenfan saw Zheng Xiyi coming, and hurriedly beckoned: "Xiyi is here, come here, you and Zhenglu will go through that melee scene again." ”
Although Zheng Xiyi didn't know what was wrong, the director instructed him to do it naturally, and as soon as he walked to the starting position, Park Zhengyu handed him a dagger, "Come on, let's try it with this." ”
took the dagger Zheng Xiyi, the weight was wrong, he lowered his head and reached out to pinch the blade, only to find that it was not a real dagger without a sharp edge, but a rubber dagger, but it was coated with a layer of metallic paint on the outside, which looked very much like the real thing, "Uh, Director Park Nim, how do you use this?"
Park Zhengyu said with a straight face: "I discussed it with Zhenfan, and I think that it is still very dangerous to use a dagger without a sharp edge in today's scene, so I plan to try to use a rubber dagger to see if it works." ”
Zheng Xiyi waved the dagger twice, shook his head and said, "This can't work, it's too soft, and those actions that block with the dagger can't be done." ”
Lee Zhenfan pointed at Lee Tae-hun and said: "The blocking action does not pull the panorama, all of them are shot in close-ups and separately." ”
Zheng Xiyi continued to shake his head and said: "That's not good, I designed a lot of close-quarters meat, a lot of stabbing and cutting with a dagger, if even these actions are filmed separately, then the danger and excitement of the battle will be gone, and the picture will be scattered and chaotic, Director Li nim, you must understand." ”
Li Zhenfan frowned and sighed and said: "But it's too dangerous to use a real dagger, even if you don't open it, it's easy to get hurt, there are four people besieging you in the melee part, in case anyone misses, it's troublesome, and the duel between you and Tannayon, the finger knife and the dagger are weapons that are an inch short and an inch dangerous, and the possibility of danger is even greater." ”
Zheng Xiyi said with a smile: "How can it be that there is no danger in making action movies, just try to pay attention to it." Hong Kong Jackie Chan Xi movie so many dangerous actions are done by myself without a stand-in, and I have suffered countless injuries, can I still be a bigger name than Jackie Chan Xi? Director Li Nim, please believe me, I will be able to complete the final shooting safely and smoothly. ”
Park Zhengyu wanted to say something more, but Li Zhenfan raised his hand to stop him, stared at Zheng Xiyi's eyes and said, "Are you sure you want to shoot like this even if it's dangerous?"
Zheng Xiyi spread his hands and said: "If it weren't for the three directors nim telling me, I wouldn't have thought about this problem at all, and I was afraid of this danger, then I might as well go back and make a literary film." ”
Li Zhenfan took a deep breath, turned his head to Park Zhengyu and said: "Zhengyu, when will you be able to train those four martial artists and Tannayong to be foolproof, I don't care when we start filming and how long it will take to practice, I only have one request, to ensure safety!"
Park Zhengyu had nothing to say, so he had to nod and agree, Zheng Xiyi smiled and thanked him, and then saluted and thanked Li Zhenfan and Li Tae-heon, Li Zhenfan shook his head angrily, and Li Tae-hun smiled and gave Zheng Hee-yi a thumbs up.
Lee Tae-hun is not only the director of photography of this movie, but also the producer of this movie, at first he hoped that Won Bin would play the male lead, firstly, Won Bin's age is not much different from the protagonist, and secondly, Won Bin's salary is much lower than that of Zheng Xiyi, because the producer's main job is to control the budget, but now he feels that choosing Zheng Hee-yi is really worth the money, and every penny is worth it.
Zheng Xiyi, the four martial artists and Tan Nayong, practiced on the shooting site for a whole day, and it was not until midnight that they finally memorized the essentials of the whole set of movements, and everyone went home to rest after trying three times in a row and made mistakes, preparing for tomorrow's official shooting.
"ready, action!" With Li Zhenfan's order, the climactic stage of the finale of "Lone Agent" began.
Cha Tae-sik took out the prop pistol from behind his waist like lightning, and without raising his hand, he directly pulled the board machine, fired a shot at the leg of the thug on the right-hand side, and then shot the thug on the left-hand side to the head, and then launched a fierce exchange of fire with Man Xi's younger brothers, after injuring the killer's right hand, Cha Tae-sik rolled forward and hid behind the stone lion. First changing a bullet clip, Cha Tae-sik poked his head out from the other side of the lion statue, wounded the shoulder of the fleeing Man-suk, and then engaged in a fierce exchange of fire with the killer until the bottle containing the eyeballs rolled to the other side of the hall, Cha Tae-sik first shot the thug who was hiding in the corner and shivering, and then quickly rushed out of cover to grab it before it was destroyed.
Li Zhenfan hasn't shouted a cut until now, but looked at the monitor in front of him with full attention, and below is Cha Tae-sik's one-on-four melee, and after this level, "Lone Agent" is really about to be finished. The actors' attention was also completely focused, and even the staff on the sidelines waited with bated breath, if there were no accidents, the film could be completed smoothly, and if there were accidents, it was likely that the movie could not be released in early August. The schedule change is not only related to the theater's year-round plan, but also related to the strength of the competitors of "Lone Agent", so this will be the most decisive moment in the whole filming.
