Chapter 55: Filming Begins (13th Update)
It's finally time to meet, my stupid brother...
"Ahem..."
Xu Hui coughed, and Liu Yifei, who had been studying the script with his head down, raised his head, and then quickly lowered his head.
She decided to ignore him for now!
This is Liu Xiaoli's experience of teaching her husband, 'When you treat a man, you must hang him, and don't let him succeed!'
Well, listen to mom and don't let her get hurt...
It's a pity that she probably forgot that she is no longer familiar with Xu Hui, and she has played saliva, 54, and bewilderment several times!
For the indifferent fairy sister, Xu Hui said, so cute, I really want to say...
However, for the time being, he has not had a chance to take action, and the director always has to say hello to a bunch of creators in the crew when he first arrives.
Most of the stars in "The Wasteland" are not very famous actors.
Although American dramas have made great progress in recent years, the popularity of TV drama actors is there, after all, not every American drama can become "Friends"...
Besides, the investment is so small, and it is impossible to find a particularly well-known actor.
In addition to Wu Yanzu and Liu Yifei, Quinn is played by Marton Sokes, a New Zealand actor who has been in Hollywood for more than ten years, and his biggest role is "Alice in Wonderland" as a supporting role Charles Kingsley;
Sarah Berg, an Irish actress, is a well-known TV actress who once played Mary Tudor in "The Tudors".
Irish actors occupy a large proportion of the North American entertainment industry, just like the main fan in the Hong Kong circle, there are many Irish actors, directors, including producers, which is a racial advantage.
Saoirse Ronan, the female number one of "Brooklyn", a little girl in 94, has been nominated for two consecutive Oscars for Best Actress, in addition to her acting skills, the main thing is her racial talent, Irish descent...
Aramis Knight, the person Wu Yan has always wanted to protect...
After simply saying hello to a few leading actors, Xu Hui called the screenwriter and assistant director, and the three of them started the first round of discussion with the crew.
Entering the work mode, Xu Hui restrained his comic emotions during this time and began to get serious.
The next day, he led Emily from location to location, including the castle where it was filmed.
In fact, the crew began to build the scenery as early as two months ago.
Although the selling point of this drama is action scenes, the necessary live-action shooting shots are still indispensable.
By mid-March, most of the supporting roles and dragon sets had been recruited, and most of the entire crew of "Wasteland" were white and black, except for the male number one and the glamorous widow who were Asian.
The Screen Actors Guild has a rule that the proportion of blacks in each work cannot be less than 15 percent...
It's a hard and fast rule.
By this time, the preliminary preparations have been basically completed, and filming is ready to start!
……
The first thing I did was to control the crew's photographer to shoot a large number of live locations.
In this way, you can understand the level and habits of the photographers of the entire crew as quickly as possible, and run in the crew as quickly as possible.
This is not a movie, the filming of American dramas is not much different from domestic TV series, the crew is divided into three, responsible for following different side content.
There is no exact same style of photography in the world, especially for these photographers who are working with Xu Hui for the first time, it takes a certain amount of time and scheduling to understand Xu Hui's requirements.
Xu Hui's fame is here, although "Wasteland" is his first American drama, but it is only good to be able to cooperate with him and establish a close connection!
In the previous week, the main task of almost every day was Xu Hui communicating with the photographers, and gradually let each photographer understand the style required by Xu Hui by flipping through the daily production logs.
This is very important, otherwise it would be very difficult for the episodes to be harmonized if what each photographer is shooting is completely inconsistent.
In addition to live-action shooting, I occasionally shoot some simple tricks.
For example, the footage of Wu Yan's appearance.
For Sonny played by Wu Yangu, Xu Hui has only one request, cool!
Penetrate the coolness of Shintoru!
It's like Neo from The Matrix.
The original red coat was a bit too lo, so it was replaced with a black trench coat.
After two weeks of adjustments, the crew finally got on the right track, and Xu Hui started filming.
……
The fairy sister plays the beautiful widow and belongs to the role that will appear for half an hour in every episode, one of the leading roles.
Therefore, she needs to stay on the crew every day.
It's lonely.
Few people in the crew took the initiative to talk to her, and even the little girl who played her daughter only occasionally spoke to her.
Nonsense, everyone knows that this girl is the director's forbidden belly, who dares to flirt?
She originally thought that Xu Hui would be tempted to communicate with her, but in the past half a month, Xu Hui has been like an indifferent emperor, and rarely takes the initiative to chat with her except for work.
It seems that work has become his only thing!
You deserve to be a single dog!
Pao Hui has a hard time, after all, it is the first time to film in Lao Mei, so I am really not used to it!
The working state of these staff is very speechless, Xu Hui feels that he has just made a little sense, and everyone is packing up and getting ready to get off work... Not only do people have to work 8 hours, but they also have weekends, and if you want people to work, you can do it, so you have to add money!
Play according to the trade union system!
Annoying people, if this is especially in China, Xu Hui estimates that the crew can be run-in in a week!
The rhythm of the crew was a little out of Xu Hui's original plan, which made him a little anxious, and he didn't have time to think about Sister Fairy at all.
Also, Xu Hui also has requirements for the crew's costume styling, and there must be no modern technology.
This is a wasteland world, and even fights can only be fought with cold weapons.
The opening 1vs13 shot is mainly shot by Yuan Kui, and Xu Hui's request is only one, which must be vicious enough and deadly.
……
Wu Yan Group and Aramis Knight are in the audition.
After their audition, Xu Hui shouted them aside.
"Aramis, the character you have to play is a very young boy, you don't need to push too hard, just be simple. ”
Aramis is a very talented actor with good comprehension ability, which is the main reason why Xu Hui uses him.
"Yanzu, Sonny is cold, he also has a righteous side, you have to grasp it yourself. ”
"I have researched, in fact, the script I got is only the first season, but I think Sonny should be a very complex character, he yearns for freedom, he longs for Elysium, but he has to kill people according to the lord's request..."
Wu Yan's group has studied the script very deeply.
is even more attentive than Xu Hui as a director, too, this is his first step into North America, of course, he doesn't want to mess up.
“… Okay, we'll shoot the rain scene later, so get ready. ”
