Chapter 13 Filming Begins
The domestic film market has matured since about 16 years, and everyone has begun to pursue different things, and bad movies can't be sold anymore, whether it's feelings or the signboards of big stars.
Of course, compared to the United States, we still have a gap, and the box office accounts for more than half of the revenue of a movie.
There are almost no peripherals and the like, which makes it difficult for distribution companies to invest in more types of films, but will rush to invest in relatively marketable genre films.
For example, youth films, such as urban light comedies, such as small fresh meat and IP.
However, regardless of whether the market is mature or not, good movies, especially good works that have been promoted, will still be recognized by the public.
"Crazy Stone" and "33 Days of Broken Love" have created a lot of box office miracles.
The audience has eyes!
Xu Hui firmly believes that "Embroidered Spring Knife" can also be, as long as it is properly promoted, he will definitely become a director whose debut film can break 100 million at the box office!
He thinks he knows the whole movie by heart, but when it comes to filming, many things still break him.
The entire crew of "Embroidered Spring Knife" has almost more than 300 people, and he is divided into two groups, Wu Jing leads the team to shoot some big action scenes, and he is responsible for directing the rest.
The team that Huayi found for Xu Hui were all experienced old drivers, Xu Hui and them probably met a few times, on the surface, it seemed to be very harmonious, and the seniors and juniors talked very happily.
But Xu Hui knows very well that these people will not look down on themselves because of a few words, of course, with the support of Huayi, even if these people have ideas, they will not show them in person.
To be honest, Xu Hui doesn't care much about what these people think, all he pursues is that this movie can be filmed on time and in quantity, as for the suspicion of these people, I am afraid that it will accompany the moment when the whole movie is released.
He doesn't think that he can deter these people by showing his ability in the crew, they are all thousand-year-old foxes, who is he playing in front of him?
As long as the working relationship can be maintained on the surface and does not affect the normal start of the filming, Xu Hui will not care about these.
The preparation of the crew was stumbling, Xu Hui's work was particularly cumbersome, and many shooting plans required him to make the final decision, but fortunately, the schedule signed by several leading actors was relatively abundant, so that it would save time to coordinate the shooting.
Arrange filming according to the actor's schedule, which is a very fatal thing for many directors or coordinators, because you can't guarantee that the shooting will be smooth, and once there is a problem in a certain link, you will have to delay the time, so what should you do with the actor's schedule?
Therefore, what many big directors hate the most is the actors who roll the drama.
……
There was no boot conference, almost no publicity, and "Embroidered Spring Knife" was directly launched.
This is Xu Hui's opinion.
After all, he has not officially terminated the contract with the South Korean side yet, on the other hand, he discussed with Wang Zhonglei that if an unknown 'netizen' discovers that Xu Hui is quietly making a movie, and then posts the news on the Internet, and then the reporter creates a momentum to publicize it, it will have a better effect.
Filming officially starts in the evening.
The crew spent a whole day revising the scene, and Xu Hui had very high requirements for props, costumes, and lighting.
Moreover, the first scene is scheduled for the evening.
It's good to save the gaffer from lighting again!
In the first scene, many actors were present, including Yu Shaoqun and Nie Yuan.
In addition to Li Bingbing, this is a little disappointing for many young actors who want to see his style!
The first scene was filmed at the beginning of "Embroidered Spring Knife", where two soldiers patrolling the city held lanterns and found the Jinyi guards hiding in the alley, and then turned around and fled.
There was no problem with Deng Chao's filming in this scene, when he led the Jinyi guard behind him to appear in the light of the falling and ignited fire, it was very dark and killing gods.
If it weren't for the fact that the group actors were too unprofessional and couldn't always be uniform, it is estimated that this scene would have been passed in one shot!
After shooting eight times, Xu Hui couldn't help but almost get angry, and this shot barely passed.
It's time for the second scene.
This scene is about Shen Lian sending the daughter of the Chen Mansion to the study as a hostage, and at this moment the Chen father and son, who they were going to arrest, suddenly resisted, and this opening action scene made Deng Chao a little aggrieved.
It was this action scene that Xu Hui made Deng Chao shoot five times in a row!
Deng Chao was very dissatisfied - after all, it still hurts to hit the bottle with his hands, although this thing is just a prop.
"Brother Chao, don't blink, don't look at the vase, just stare at Brother Zhongzhi!"
Deng Chao really wanted to say: "MMP!"
You're awesome, can you not look at something when it's thrown at you and hit you in the face? Is this Nima a conditioned reflex?
"You come over and watch the monitor replay yourself, you don't have the momentum of a master at all! This is the first shot of the opening, you have to stand the character!"
Deng Chao thought about it for a long time, and then the martial arts who tried the play did it again, Deng Chao: "Then let's do it again!"
"You have to believe Brother Zhongzhi, he won't throw it off!"
This is a close-up, in order to show Shen Lian's boldness, coldness, and of course, her masterful demeanor!
Facing the vase, breaking with one punch, and at the same time being able to handsomely suppress the other party, is there a more awesome way to appear?
It's a pity that Deng Chao still couldn't restrain himself, he blinked again!
"How many times has this been the first time you've acted like this?"
"Do you know what character you play? That's Jinyiwei, a murder weapon, I want to be cold-blooded and ruthless, what do you mean by blinking?"
Xu Hui couldn't help it and sprayed directly.
Damn, a shot has been rubbed several times, is there a mistake?
Because it was the first day of shooting, Xu Hui didn't arrange too many shooting tasks, just a few shots in total, and the result was so far.
At first, it was because the crew was not well coordinated, and the lighting, props and the like were not in place, but now it is because the actors' performances do not meet the requirements!
I'm tired!
“…”
Deng Chao was a little unbearable, compared to Xu Hui, he was also an old-timer, and being dissed in public by a rookie director made him a little unable to get off the stage.
After Xu Hui finished playing the director's majesty, he looked at the slightly silent Deng Chao and the rest of the crew, thought about it and discussed with Wu Jing next to him: "Let's shoot it in two sections, capture Deng Chao's expression and the flying vase respectively, how about we synthesize this section later?"
It's a bit reluctant, but it's the best way to fix it.
"Director, let me try again, I promise I will finish this time!"
The biggest selling point of the action scene is the fight, especially "Embroidered Spring Knife", the whole tone is real fighting, according to the sketch of the storyboard, in this opening scene, the glass is broken and depicted in close-up.
Late synthesis is certainly possible, but it certainly isn't as strong as this one-hit shattering.
Deng Chao obviously didn't want to just make vases, he wanted to challenge himself.
