Episode 478: Preparing to make up the shoot before filming started
On June 22, 2009, the title song of the same name of Girls' Generation's second mini album "GENIE" was officially announced, and on the same day, "Wicked" also began official filming.
Separating the branches blocking the path, Zheng Xiyi glanced back behind him, "Miss Fukatsu, is it okay?"
Eri Fukatsu hurriedly saluted, "Thank you, no problem, thank you so much, Zheng Jun." ”
Zheng Xiyi leaned sideways, "You're too polite, come, please go over first, I'll help you pull this branch." ”
Eri Fukatsu glanced at Zheng Xiyi, bowed her head again, and then walked past Zheng Xiyi, stepping on the path with difficulty and continuing forward.
Between the Osezaki Lighthouse and the highway was an extremely dense forest, and the crew had to walk through the woods every day on a rugged path with heavy camera equipment on their backs, walk for 30 minutes to reach the shooting site under the lighthouse, and then walk back again after filming in the afternoon. Compared with other locations, this is the most difficult location in the whole film, there is no one, but fortunately, the actor has been replaced by Zheng Xiyi, so the crew does not have to wait until the cold winter of the end of the year to start filming, otherwise this can only be walked back and forth, just the cold wind on the beach is enough for everyone to drink several pots.
The reason why Lee Sang-il chose to shoot this section first is also because the conditions on the Osesaki lighthouse are the most difficult, and the lighthouse hut that took three weeks to build must also be used as soon as possible......
The path in the forest is gradually extending upward, and when I walk out of the woods, there is a ten-meter-long hillside in front of me, and Eri Fukatsu, who walked in front of Zheng Xiyi, was the first to step on the top, and then there was a blanket. Zheng Xiyi followed her up the hillside, suddenly his eyes lit up, and the front suddenly opened up, the blue ocean in the distance, a tall and beautiful white lighthouse on the edge of the cliff a hundred meters away, standing alone on it, but to get to the lighthouse, you need to go through a steep mountain road of more than 100 meters, which is more difficult to walk than the forest path.
"How is it, the scenery is good, right?" Li Xiangil's voice came from behind him, Zheng Xiyi looked sideways, Li Xiangil also walked out of the woods, and was stepping on the mountain road hidden in the grass step by step up the hillside, and the crew also walked out of the woods one after another.
"Yes, it's beautiful, it's just a bit of a walk, it's hard to find it for you. Zheng Xiyi turned his head to look at the scenery in front of him, if he was just a backpacker, he would probably be inexplicably excited to see such a beautiful scenery after paying a hard trek. However, thinking that he would have to go back and forth every day for the next three days, and if the weather forecast was not accurate, he might even have to spend the next week, Zheng Xiyi had no idea of excitement at all......
Only the exterior walls of the cottage under the lighthouse are painted the same white as the lighthouse, and there are some traces of deliberately old age, but the inside is a complete mess, and even abandoned building materials are piled up inside, so the footage inside the hut will be filmed in the abandoned gymnasium in a nearby town, and some exterior shots need to be taken here.
Lee Sang-il looked up at the sun, then at his watch, looked around, waved to the staff and said, "You guys take a rest first, let's wait for an hour, and wait for the light to be brighter before starting shooting." ”
The staff walked in the forest for more than half an hour with dead shooting equipment on their backs, and they were already too tired to do it, and when they heard the director say that they would rest, they immediately agreed excitedly, put down their backpacks and sat down on the hillside without any scruples, Zheng Xiyi turned his head to look at Eri Fukatsu, Eri Fukatsu looked at the staff, understood what he meant, and quickly shook his head and said, "Why don't we go to the lighthouse and rest again, Zheng Jun?"
Zheng Xiyi smiled and nodded, although the wild flowers on the hillside in summer are in full bloom, but it is really not suitable for Eri Fukatsu to sit in the grass like this, not to mention dirty or dirty, just small things such as insects, ants, snakes and bees are enough for this eldest sister.
Although Eri Fukatsu was very tired, she really didn't want to sit in the wild grass to rest like this, seeing Zheng Xiyi nodding and hurriedly walking down the mountain path that was only one foot wide, Zheng Xiyi followed her two or three meters behind. The mountain trail in the morning was slightly slippery with dew, and the trail was a little steep, and Eri Fukatsu only dared to take another step if she stepped on it carefully, and Zheng Xiyi followed her patiently with her hands in her sleeves and watched.
Eri Fukatsu stepped down hard with her right foot, and felt that she had stepped on it, so she bent down and was about to take another step, but when she changed her center of gravity, her feet slipped, and she immediately shook it, and her hand reached out and grabbed the grass to stabilize her body. She glanced back with some fear, only to see that Zheng Xiyi was retracting the hand she had just stretched out, and her heart suddenly moved, and that little fear disappeared without a trace, the corners of her mouth curled up and smiled at him, Zheng Xiyi nodded and smiled.
Lee Sang-il stood on the top of the hillside and watched Jung Hee-yi and Eri Fukatsu walk step by step along the winding mountain path to the steps under the lighthouse, and asked the art director Taneda Yohei with a smile, "Yangping, what do you think?"
Yohei Taneda's eyes have also been on the male and female leads, and when he heard Li Xiangil's inquiry, he nodded and said, "Yes, it's a pity that this paragraph was not filmed just now, I feel very good." ”
Li Xiangri laughed and said, "It's okay, we have three days, it's a big deal to let them go a few more times." ”
Taneda Yohei suddenly said with a bitter face: "It's fun for you to shoot, but it's too easy to slip here, and it will be troublesome in case Zheng Xiyi-kun and Fukatsu-eri-kun are injured." ”
Li Xiangri frowned, and Taneda Yangping pointed to the wildflowers on the hillside and said: "I remember that the scene in the novel is autumn, and the grass is withered and yellow, but you look at the current red, yellow, blue, and green colors, what should I do?"
"Uh......" Lee Sang-il had a headache and said to Yohei Taneda, "Then you mean we will come back in three months?"
"I'm definitely not going to build that house again!" Taneda Yohei pointed to the hut under the lighthouse in the distance, with a bitter and hateful look, the staff was so troublesome to come in with filming equipment on their backs, and how difficult it was to get those building materials in, Taneda Yohei really didn't want to do that kind of drudgery again.
Li Xiangri scratched his head, and suddenly saw Zheng Xiyi, who was climbing the stairs, squinted his eyes slightly and said, "Let's go, let's go to the lighthouse to have a look, I haven't seen it since the house was built." ”
Fifteen minutes later, Lee Sang-il and Taneda Yohei gasped and climbed the steps to the lighthouse, Jung Hee-yi and Fukatsu Eri had already gone around to the side facing the sea to see the scenery, Lee Sang-il shouted, but was blown back by the howling sea breeze, so he had to walk over and pat Jung Hee-yi on the shoulder.
As soon as Zheng Xiyi turned around and saw that it was Lee Sang-il, he quickly lowered his head and asked loudly, "Director, are you going to start filming?"
Li Xiangil shook his head, pointed to the lighthouse hut, and then walked over and pushed the door open and entered the hut, and Zheng Xiyi and Taneda Yohei both followed him and walked in. Because there were no lights in the house, and there were construction waste such as sand, planks, and bricks, so Yohei Taneda did not close the door, although there was still a strong wind blowing at the door, but it was much quieter than outside.
Li Xiangil said slightly loudly: "Xiyi, there are two problems now, one is that the path I came over just now is too dangerous, I am worried that Eri and you will be injured during filming, and the other is that the flowers and plants on the hillside have not died yet, and the background is different from the script, I haven't come up with any good solutions to solve it, so I want to ask you if you have any ideas." ”
"Eh, me?" Zheng Xiyi sighed, these two questions should be the director's business, otherwise there are assistant directors, drama managers, etc., who ask me what the hell I am?
"Oh, aren't you smart, even Miss Renpei Zhishi has praised you several times, so I think you might have a way. Li Xiangil rubbed his hands, also a little embarrassed.
Zheng Xiyi silently praised himself, although he felt that Li Xiangri's brain hole was a bit big, but there was no way, the director was the biggest in the crew, and everyone asked in person, can you still say no?
"That'...... But director, don't expect me to have any good way to do it alone, it's better to let everyone in the crew think about it, three stinkers top one Zhuge Liang. ”
Li Xiangri nodded when he heard this, turned his head to Taneda Yangping and said, "Yangping, please go and call everyone over to the lighthouse to rest, and have a meeting by the way." ”
Taneda Yangping glanced at Zheng Xiyi, turned his head and went out to go down the lighthouse to call the others, Zheng Xiyi took two steps and stood at the door of the hut looking at the hillside not far away, and became silent.
"Hey, Zheng Jun, it turns out that you are here, and when I look back, I can't find anyone, which scares me. Eri Fukatsu suddenly appeared.
Zheng Xiyi turned to the side slightly, so that she could see Li Sang-il in the room, "The director asked me to discuss something, I forgot to tell you, Miss Fukatsu, I'm really sorry." ”
Eri Fukatsu saw Lee Sang-il squatting behind Zheng Xiyi with a sad face, and hurriedly bowed, "Oh, I'm so sorry, I didn't see you, Mr. Director, but what are you doing here?"
Li Xiangil repeated the two questions again, and Eri Fukatsu, like Zheng Xiyi, turned around and looked at the mountains of flowers and plants.
An hour passed, the sun was already high and the light was suitable, but Lee Sang-il was still sitting on the steps at the door of the hut with a sad face and looking at the hillside, the production assistant looked at the time, stood up and walked to his side and said, "Director, the break is almost over, shouldn't we start filming?"
Li Xiangri glanced at him, "Have you found the solution to those two problems just now?"
The production assistant froze, hesitated and shook his head and said, "Then we have to start filming too......"
Lee Sang-il sighed, knowing that he was right, so he had to stand up and clap his hands and shout: "Come, let's start arranging, the first shot is shot of Yuichi and Guangdai watching the sea by the railing." ”
The distant view of this shot is the cliff and the sea, so it doesn't matter, and Lee Sang-il decided to shoot all the shots of this small area outside the lighthouse hut before he can come up with a solution, and wait three months to make up the footage on the mountain trail!
In this way, the filming of the movie "Wicked" officially began in the trouble of planning to reshoot before filming started.
