194 Hard Shooting (2)
The crew came around to a small town called Tamar, which would be the filming base for the TV series. As early as a week ago, Luo Yu asked Sun Boda to lead the staff to come here to set up the scene, and now the crew has two assistant directors and a few executive directors or something, plus the students of the film school, the manpower is very sufficient.
In fact, Luo Yu is very envious of those big directors, they all have mature teams, and some exterior scenes can be filmed by assistant directors. But for a cutting-edge director like Luo Yu, it's completely different, and many things need to be done by yourself. The fundamental reason is that he does not have a mature team, and his own people are all improvised.
Many big directors don't have a few powerful assistant directors under them, and their props team, makeup team and so on are very complete, and there are martial arts instructors or something. For a film, the team can prepare everything themselves, and the actors will leave the shooting in place until the final release.
This is the gap, so Luo Yu has always focused on cultivating the company's two assistant directors, as well as the behind-the-scenes team formed by the company. After these several run-ins, they have cooperated tacitly, and everyone is happy to cooperate. The team is a start-up, and there's still a long way to go.
I feel very uncomfortable coming to this place, first of all, the temperature difference is too big. It was very cold in the morning and evening, especially at night, but it was very hot during the day, and many of the staff and actors were very uncomfortable, and there were many who got sick.
In such a situation, Luo Universe has no choice, the physical fitness of people now is too poor, not to mention that this place is too difficult. There is no way but to let everyone rest for two days, continue to work if there is no physical problem, prepare the results or something, and start work after a few days when everyone adapts.
Luo Yu, under the leadership of Sun Boda, came to see the scene built by the crew at the edge of the county, this scene was prepared for the filming of night scenes, and filming here can improve efficiency. Basically, the small buildings that appear in the desert in the TV series are all inside, and the exterior scenes only need to be filmed around the county seat, which is less than five miles out of the county seat is the desert.
Luo Yu is also very tired, but as a director, he has to do it for others to see, and it will cost a lot more money to delay it for a day, so there is no way, Luo Yu has to start filming some supporting roles. First, to give everyone time to recover, and secondly, to shoot the scenes of supporting roles and extras, there will be fewer people in the crew, which is convenient for management.
Luo Yu is very vigilant when he comes here to shoot the TV series, everyone knows that the security here is not very good, and there are fewer people to reduce unnecessary accidents. Moreover, Luo Yu also sponsored the local police station to ask for a sum of money, so that they could take care of the crew more. Fortunately, the director is a real person, Luo Yu saw that he was very suitable for acting and let him run a trick, that is, the director of the police station, he acted in his true colors, and finally he patted his chest and said that the safety problems of the crew would be solved by him.
At night, the crew is filming in the artificially built results, Luo Yu is wearing a coat in front of the camera, there is no way that the current temperature is about zero degrees. Wang Kai, Huang Bo and others continued filming in such weather, and the staff next to them immediately sent clothes after the filming.
This ghost weather is really evil, but fortunately, their clothes are very thick in the TV series. In the past, Luo Yu heard that he was filming in winter in a shirt, even in the snow, but now he has also encountered it. Fortunately, several actors are very cooperative, and if you encounter hypocrisy, it won't be overturned.
Luo Yu looked at the time, "It's already nine o'clock, the weather will get colder and colder, and I'll call it a day today." Everyone went back to have a good rest, and if they wanted to have supper, they went to the second floor of the hotel. "There's no way, this kind of weather is too evil, Luo Yu just shoots a little bit every day, and accumulates slowly, otherwise people can't stand it at all.
The next day, the crew began to shoot in the desert, and now the temperature should be above 30 degrees, and everyone started filming with difficulty in the heat. Today, Anliman's ability to control camels has improved, which has made the shooting a lot smoother. A few days ago he also needed the assistance of the owner of the camel, and now he can barely operate it on his own, which is a good sign.
After shooting for an hour, the first thing that can't be carried is the photographer, and it is not easy to jump up and down with the camera. Luo Yu found a few from the film academy, and the company was tired and paralyzed. Well, in fact, the actor was also tired, Luo Yu immediately arranged for everyone to rest, and the staff sent the electric fan ice water or something.
The crew only chose to shoot when the sun came out in the morning and when the sun set, and at noon, everyone rested and recuperated, and filmed for two hours at night. Although the progress is slow, there is nothing to be done, after all, people are people, not machines.
It took two months to shoot the plot of the desert, Peng Jiahui and Jiang Wen were obviously tanned, and they didn't dare to look in the mirror now, as soon as they looked in the mirror, they wanted to find Luo Yu desperately. In such a harsh environment, any sunscreen is weak, and the actor is also tanned, but he looks much healthier.
Luo Yuxing lost a lot of weight, and he had too many things to worry about. It can be said that he has to pay attention to all aspects of the crew, he has to jump on his nerves every day, and basically fall asleep.
The crew's next location is a cave in the south, and the crew originally wanted to choose the exterior location in the northwest, but it was not suitable for the final choice of a cave in province H. After the filming was completed here, Luo Yu immediately led the crew to leave, and if he wanted to rest, he would rest again when he arrived in the province, he was fed up with the ghost weather here.
Luo Yu privately paid out of his pocket to invite all the crew to recuperate in the hot spring hotel for three days, and the entire crew spent 100,000 yuan directly. In an instant, everyone's opinion of Luo Yu has changed a lot, when Luo Yu was in Tamar Town, he always pressed everyone, and now Luo Yu is bleeding, and everyone is suddenly balanced.
The shooting here was much easier, the climate was suitable, and there weren't many results. A week later, the crew returned to Yanjing after filming, and the real test came. The most exciting part of the TV series is the ancient tombs, the seven-star coffin, the big zongzi, and the exquisite ancient city, only if these are filmed well, the TV series will be successful.
As soon as he returned to Yanjing, Luo Yu immediately went to the park to check the preparation of the props. Although someone reported it every day, and pictures were sent to his mobile phone, he still didn't see it in person. Several important scenes were set up, and the arsenal of the Kwantung Army was arranged in a large warehouse.
First of all, the scene of the Kwantung Army arsenal was filmed, because it would cost a day to rent the warehouse for an extra day. There is no big problem with these scenes, and the actors can be completed in three days with the equipment.
In the ancient tomb, the scene of Hu Bayi and the three of them fighting big zongzi was filmed for a week. tossed Dong Bin enough, it took one every day to put on a coat, makeup and so on. What's more serious is that you have to drop Weiya and so on, which is very inconvenient in the ancient tomb, and in addition, there are actors' performance problems that are clicked, which is simply a toss.
These scenes are the highlight of the TV series, Luo Yu is very strict, and he will reshoot if he is slightly dissatisfied. Dong Bin has never been so tired, but he persevered, and not to mention that he was tired, Luo Yu was in charge and increased his salary by 20%.
After tossing for a week, the iron-clad man also lay down, and the staff in charge of the props were almost the same. However, Luo Yu is very satisfied with the plot, he only needs to add some special effects, which is the rhythm of the blockbuster.
