Three months later.

"Wolf Warrior" was finally filmed, including the filming of Africa, and only post-production remained.

In the past three months, "Wolf Warrior" and "Gunfire Glory" have been making headlines and tugging at each other.

However, all the publicity and public relations of "Wolf Warrior" only relied on an official blog, but "Gunfire Glory" used a large number of water armies and public accounts to pull PK, blindly break the news, and splash dirty water.

This morning.

An apartment hotel in Beijing.

In the bathtub, Li Zhifan sat in the bathtub with his upper body bare, with a camera facing him, sometimes laughing loudly, sometimes silent, sometimes grabbing the foam on his head, sometimes smearing his arms with soap, and sometimes waving excitedly with a brush, but most of the time he stared at the camera intently, looking very devoted and focused.

He is not nervous, nor is he schizophrenic, he is filming "The Truman Show", this character sits in the bathtub from beginning to end, although there is no dialogue, but there are still a lot of shots, and it is this single scene, but it is very joyful.

an hour.

Two hours.

Three hours later, Li Zhifan's roles in "The Truman Show" were all over.

After entering the group for three hours, this speed is among the six members of the Extreme Men's Gang, but it is the fastest in this play, which is less than Sun Youbin's role in "Wolf Warrior".

Coming out of the bathtub, Li Zhifan did not run out, but lay down comfortably.

"Zhifan, you haven't come out yet?"

Wang Yue hugged his arms on the side and looked at Li Zhifan speechlessly, "Could it be that after filming an underwater scene in "Wolf Warrior", you fell in love with water?"

Li Zhifan made a splash and smiled helplessly: "Since it's all in the water, why don't you wash it by the way?" ”

"Hurry up!" Wang Yue said, "Director Huang is still waiting for you to go over!"

"Immediately, immediately!" Li Zhifan's skin turned white when he ran early, and he hurriedly got up, wrapped himself in a bath towel and walked out.

The filming of "The Truman Show" has been relatively slow, because the release date is definitely after "Wolf Warrior".

And Li Zhifan has thought about it, and is ready to use these two movies to attack Zhu Youxue's "Gunfire Brilliant" before and after, hitting him desperately and doubting his life at one time.

Yanqi Lakeside.

This is the set of "The Truman Show".

The entire village was requisitioned for the set, and the main set was renovated and painted, as well as new cafes, fast-food outlets, supermarkets, and a newsstand that was almost obsolete by this era.

These constructions are not only the capabilities of the crew, but also cooperate with the local urban construction department and a large real estate developer.

In the future, when the movie is released, the village will become a famous attraction, and all the investments will have follow-up development.

The Men's Gang has signed a partnership agreement with a local movie theater to show "The Truman Show" every day for the next 10 years, and the theater owner has decided to change the name of the theater to "Truman Studios", as well as some additional agreements, such as share transfers and investment agreements.

Lakeside.

The crew is filming.

After Li Zhifan got out of the car, he walked directly to the monitor and pulled a horse to sit down.

Huang Tianhai turned his head to take a look, and his originally frowning and dissatisfied face instantly became smiling: "You kid, it's finally here! ”

This scene is Truman escaping by boat, lying comfortably in the sailboat under the sunny blue sky and on the sparkling sea, with a happy face and a photo of his beloved woman in his hand.

The camera was on several ships in the vicinity, sometimes ordered to get close to shoot close-ups, sometimes keeping a distance from the long shots.

Li Zhifan commanded from the side, but Huang Tianhai was idle, holding a teacup and looking at everything with a smile on his face.

After the filming of a scene, Huang Tianhai is about to hand over the power: "Zhifan, you will guide the rest of the part!

"Your director is also very good!" Li Zhifan said, "I have watched all the films, there is no major problem, except for individual shots that need not be filmed, the overall is good!"

"Yo, don't say that!"

Huang Tianhai smiled bitterly deeper, "If it is handed over to you, there will definitely be no need to reshoot any shots." ”

After all, Sun Youbin has never really acted, let alone the leading actor, so many scenes of a single person in the play should have been more life-like, but he still acted in a variety show.

Especially those shots that talk to themselves in the mirror, there are a lot of flaws.

For example, in the scene just now, Sun Youbin was the only one on the boat, and he often had no drama in his eyes, and even his eyes would play, and after Li Zhifan's guidance, the situation was reversed.

But Sun Youbin has one thing that is very good, that is, when playing against people, whether it is a group scene or a one-on-one scene, he performs very well, which may really have something to do with him doing variety shows.

Li Zhifan patted Huang Tianhai on the shoulder and said, "The next time I go to shoot on the boat, the monitor will rely on you!"

"You...... Okay!"

Huang Tianhai said, "Then you take the walkie-talkie and communicate at any time!"

"OK!" Li Zhifan touched the walkie-talkie, adjusted the channel, and walked towards Sun Youbin.

The following scene is a combination of wind and rain, although it is a sunny day, but the props team has the ability to "change the sky", using computer technology, special effects to turn night into day.

There are many hidden details in the whole "Truman Show", such as Truman taking vitamin D every day, which is used for people who have not seen sunlight for a long time.

In addition, the format of movie shooting is not the common 1.85:1 or 2.35:1, but 1.66:1, which is the format of a general TV show, so that it looks more like a variety show.

It is this contrast that makes this film even more careful, if you use the usual film format, it gives the audience the feeling that it is not a documentary or a reality show.

"Zhifan!"

Sun Youbin rested on the boat for a while, and when he saw Li Zhifan rowing over on the boat, he immediately waved his hand and shouted, "Hey, long time no see!"

"How about it, the shooting is hard!" Li Zhifan asked with a smile.

"Work, how can it not be hard, it is this money that earns!"

Sun Youbin said, "I really envy you "Wolf Warrior", it's all filmed!"

"Envy?" Li Zhifan looked at Sun Youbin, and his eyes were self-evident.

Sun Youbin has been to the crew of "Wolf Warrior", but his scene was filmed for less than two days, so I didn't realize how hard Li Zhifan and them worked, but I just heard Wang Yue and them talk about the hardships of training, but for Sun Youbin, who has served in the military, he "thinks" that training should be easy.

Li Zhifan jumped into his boat, patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "I really should let you and Fu Changchang!"

Fu finished from the crew of "Wolf Warrior", and he joined the crew of "Truman Show", and his role in this play is also quite heavy.

However, the feedback I got from his mouth was: filming "The Truman Show" is simply a blessing, there are no action scenes, no dangerous scenes, all are dialogue dramas, the only thing I can't bear is that the actor is his good brother, and he also brought him a green hat.

Of course, this cuckold is just a joke, and in this play, his girlfriend is sacrificing for art.

"The scenes paid here are all filmed!"

Sun Youbin sighed, "He has finished on both sides, it's really easy." ”

"Come on, you're going to be fast here!"

Li Zhifan said, "I will supervise here in the next few days to ensure that the speed is accelerated!"

This scene is a scene in which Sun Youbin has endured hardships in the real sense since filming for so long.

Under the strong wind, he overcame his fear of water for the woman he loved, and persevered to survive.

And Zhou Shilei, who was hiding behind the scenes, had the intention of letting him die in this show.

"Are you ready?"

Li Zhifan returned to the boat where the camera was, and there were already four or five boats waiting around, tied with thin steel wires to pull Sun Youbin's boat, and hair dryers, sprinklers and sprayers were waiting.

The resulting image can be turned into a stormy sunny day by darkening the color intensity in post-production.

"Three, two, one, start!"

As Huang Tianhai shouted on the shore, the fog began to disperse slowly, and the thunder could be matched later, and the scene only needed to show the specific factors needed in the scene.

Dry ice drifted on the water, and with the hair dryer blowing wildly, the surroundings turned gray.

Li Zhifan looked up at the sky and couldn't help but secretly rejoice: Great! It turns out that it can still be like this!

"Everybody pull the rope!"

Li Zhifan shouted: "From small to large, the wave machine is ready, start!"

Artificial waves are already a common project in major water parks, whether indoor or outdoor, beaches or swimming pools, artificial waves can be carried out.

This is no exception, and there is no need to find equipment, there is an outdoor water park on Yanqi Lake, and the crew directly appropriated it.

In the midst of strong winds, torrential rains, fog, and big waves, Sun Youbin hugged the boat to show his instinct for survival, because this was not a fake, he directly revealed the most real reaction.

Especially at the moment when the boat was overturned, those lifeguards dived into the water and were ready to rescue at any time, but Sun Youbin still grabbed the rope of the boat, let go of it, tilted his head and pouted his neck to breathe desperately, and his face turned red.

"Okay! Youbin, you can let it go!"

Li Zhifan shouted with a loudspeaker.

But Sun Youbin didn't seem to hear it at all, he was still struggling, and he was completely on the verge of collapse.

Li Zhifan turned to the lifeguard on his boat and said, "Quick, you swim over and talk to him." ”

"Good!"

The lifeguard jumped directly, a carp jumped into the water, and then quickly swam to Sun Youbin's side, the swimming style, the speed, it was simply a white rebirth in the waves.

"Quick!"

Li Zhifan pointed to the cameraman next to him, "Zoom in on the close-up and give a close-up!"

In the footage, Sun Youbin suddenly sank into the water, in fact, he had been borrowed by the lifeguard to put on an oxygen mask and swim to the nearest boat.

"Pull it up!"

Li Zhifan commanded, and Sun Youbin was safely pulled onto the boat.

"Whew, whew!"

Lying on the boat, Sun Youbin kept taking a deep breath, suddenly got up and spit out a lot of water, punched himself in the chest, and then spit out another mouthful of water.

"Ahh

Only then did Sun Youbin speak, "Oh my God! I finally came up, and I drank several sips of water, and I almost broke my stomach." ”

"Just throw up on that boat!"

Li Zhifan smiled, and then said to the people around him, "The artificial waves continue, gradually turn calm, give a close-up of the boat! Boat No. 6, go around along the No. 1 boat, the camera is aimed at the water, don't goof! The other boats retreat and make room for the No. 6 boat!"

Ordered, except for the lonely boat No. 1 floating in the water, and the No. 6 boat that was about to shoot in a circle, the rest of the ships all retreated, leaving a large area of the lake.

"Camera to the left!"

Li Zhifan is still directing the camera on the No. 6 ship.

Although he doesn't have a monitor to see, he can still command Mirror 6 with his intuition, which is the level and experience.

Huang Tianhai, who was sitting far away on the shore, didn't feel anything at first when he listened to Li Zhifan's command, but as the No. 6 lens shifted to the left, he just happened to shoot a ray of sunlight refracted on the sea surface after the fog dissipated, and he was suddenly shocked.

Wow, this conductor is simply superb!

After the close-up shot, Li Zhifan asked Sun Youbin: "Is it better? It's better, let's continue shooting!"

"I've got to dive, do I?"

Sun Youbin smiled bitterly, "Can you let me jump a little closer?"

"Yes!" Li Zhifan saw his pitiful expression, so he ordered, "All ships approach, keep a distance of about six meters from the No. 1 boat." ”

Sun Youbin stood up, took a deep breath, plunged into the water, and swam to the side of the boat.

After taking a breath, he made an OK gesture, and Li Zhifan then commanded all the cameras and started shooting.

The seemingly calm surface of the lake hides deep undercurrents.

Suddenly, Sun Youbin came out of the water, breathed heavily, and climbed onto the boat, this feeling of escaping death seemed very funny, very sad, but very happy.

Sun Youbin climbed onto the boat and planted directly into the boat, lying on the boat and continuing to breathe heavily, that belly with a volunt represents that he is alive and that he has hope to escape from here.

"Okay!

Li Zhifan shouted, today's scene is finally over.

Sun Youbin raised his arm with difficulty and shook it, and the moment he was completely relaxed, he was too tired to move.

The lifeguard approached the No. 1 boat he was in with a boat, and then the two boats were bound up and slowly headed towards the shore.

Li Zhifan went ashore first, he didn't go to the monitor to find Huang Tianhai, but went to the person in charge of the props team, and asked directly: "How is the curtain board prepared?"

"It's ready!"

The props team pointed to the other side of the shore, which was a huge background board made of styrofoam, and in the next scene, when Truman's ship collided with "Skyrim", it hit this curtain board!

"How high, how long, and how long are the steps?" Li Zhifan then confirmed.

The person in charge of the props team said casually: "Fifteen meters high, thirty meters wide!"

"Is this already the limit?"

"Yes!"

"Okay, send someone to watch, you must protect it!" Li Zhifan instructed, "The last scene tomorrow will be finished after filming, I hope it will be smooth!"

"Understand ......"
