Chapter 168: Shooting
As Yang Yu expected, at the launch conference of "Dragon Gate Inn", the reporter didn't care about his movie itself at all, and they all came to ask him why he wanted to be a director.
At the normal press conference, the other actors became the foil, and the reporter's interview guidance was only Yang Yu.
After coping with the entire press conference, Yang Yu was full of fire in his heart, and his mind was full of questions from those reporters who questioned him.
However, although the outside world was not optimistic about him, he was full of confidence in himself, and the official filming of the movie began the next day.
As a novice director, his shooting sequence is carried out according to the time of plot development, which is also easy for him to enter the shooting rhythm faster.
In the midst of stumbling, it took him about a week to complete the filming of the plot before entering the desert.
And in these plots, except for the characters who are going to appear in the Dragon Gate Inn, all the other actors are involved in the performance.
Zhou Huai'an played by Li Xingjie, Qiu Moyan played by Yun Qingxia, Yuhuatian played by Yang Yu, Li Xingjie's three brothers, Zhou Zhengying, Yu Zhaolong, and Long Xiaohao played the three major stalls of the West Factory, all of which appeared.
After filming the preliminary plot, the entire crew immediately rushed to the Dragon Gate Inn in the desert, the crew of "Dragon Gate Inn" is not very big, except for those extras, there are only about 50 people.
After two hours by car, Yang Yu finally arrived at the place where the Longmen Inn was located, and in addition to a piece of yellow sand, there was only the inn made of earthen walls in front of him.
Not only is the place uninhabited, there is no electricity or water, electricity is generated by generators, and water can only be transported by car.
Although the conditions are a little tougher, for the sake of the movie effect, this hard work is nothing.
After the crew arrived, Yang Yu let the others rest first and start filming the next day, while he summoned all the department directors and the leading actors to start preparations before filming.
Although he is a layman, from the director team to the photography team to the art team, he only needs to say what he wants to do, and these people will naturally arrange the best plan for him.
After several people finally perfected the shooting outline specified before, they also decided on the specific details of the subsequent film shooting.
After the meeting ended, Yang Yu left Li Xingjie and director of photography Song Cunnian.
In the previous shooting, because of their novel action design, they have attracted the attention of many people in the crew, making everyone marvel that the original martial arts action can be so beautiful and elegant.
However, there are other problems brought about by the new martial arts design, and the director of photography, Song Cunnian, said that this kind of fighting action with sharp rhythm and beautiful movements is not suitable for showing with previous shooting techniques.
So next, Yang Yu and Li Xingjie, as well as Song Cunnian, the director of photography, discussed the shooting method of the action scene until the second half of the night, so that when they got up the next day, several people had heavy dark circles under their eyes.
In the next few days, in everyone's exploration, the crew finally completed all the outdoor scenes and really started the plot in the Dragon Gate Inn.
At this time, in fact, there are not many scenes in Yang Yu, but the three stalls under him in the play have a lot of scenes, which also allows him to better sit behind the monitor and control the shooting well.
When Yang Yu was filming the rivalry between Jin Zhuyu and the border army Qianhu, Wang Baogen pulled the role of the Qianhu and came to Yang Yu's side to nod and thank him.
Wang Baogen said: "Brother Yang, thank you for giving my friend a role. ”
It turned out that the role of this thousand households was none other than Shi Jin, the fellow of Wang Baogen who was Yan Piao.
This Shi Jinsheng is tall and big, quite fierce, before the shooting, Wang Baogen tried to recommend it to Yang Yu, Yang Yu felt that it was very suitable, so he settled down.
"What to write, I chose your friend because he is suitable, and besides, he does act well. Yang Yu waved his hand and said.
In fact, not only this Shi Jin performed well, Li Xingjie, Su Manyu, and Li Xingjie's brothers, although these people are all starring for the first time, there is no problem with their acting skills.
Of course, this has something to do with their talent or role, but the biggest reason is that these people's years of experience have long been there.
Among several people, even Long Xiaohao, who has the least qualifications, has been performing in Hengdian for more than two years, and the others have played I don't know how many special roles.
Even though they are not from professional classes, they have all exercised instinctive and natural acting skills, which even the director of photography Song Cunnian praised.
After listening to Yang Yu's words, Wang Baogen looked at Shi Jin beside him, and asked a little cautiously: "Brother Yang, do you think this friend of mine can sign into our company?"
After Wang Baogen finished speaking, Yang Yu looked at Shi Jin online, thinking that with the appearance of this guy, he would definitely be able to use it in the future, and it didn't matter if he signed it.
Thinking of this, Yang Yu said: "Yes, after his play is finished, just go back to Yanjing and find Ren Qing directly." ”
"Thank you, Mr. Yang, thank you, Mr. Yang. Shi Jin hurriedly bowed and thanked him.
Yang Yu waved his hand and said: "Don't thank me, you have to practice your acting skills well, as long as you are willing to work hard, there are many opportunities in our company." ”
After sending Wang Baogen and Shi Jin away, the shooting continued, Yang Yu sat behind the monitor, looked at Su Manyu's excellent acting skills, and nodded unconsciously.
He is sure that when his movie is released, this kind of once unknown leading actors will definitely impress everyone.
There is actually no shortage of good actors in the entertainment industry, but it is just an opportunity.
is like his "Dragon Gate Inn", even if many leading actors are confirmed, those roles with only a few scenes still arouse a lot of competition.
Galaxy Entertainment even took advantage of its own people to stuff a lot of its own actors into it, and even Star Media asked if there were any characters.
After learning that the two young actors who played the children of ministers who were rescued by Zhou Huai'an in the play were not confirmed, they simply stuffed the crew with two child stars who signed a contract.
In the following days, the filming of "Dragon Gate Inn" did not go well, and the problems were mainly concentrated in martial arts.
Because this movie is completely different from the previous fighting style, not only Yang Yu, Yun Qingxia, and Su Manyu, who don't know kung fu, are a little troublesome to act.
Even Li Xingjie's brothers, as well as Su Manyu, who has experience in big dramas, also need to adapt to the event.
In their world, because of the control of traditional forces, the fighting style of hard bridges and hard horses is popular in the martial arts, and their similar dance skills are definitely heretical.
Therefore, when shooting, even if there is a dream world as a reference, the action routine, whether it is the design or the shooting method, needs to be explored and experimented a little bit.
In this way, in everyone's stumbling efforts, this seemingly simple drama has been filmed since March and filming has not been completed by the end of May.
For this "Dragon Gate Inn", Yang Yu even refused the invitation sent by the Huaxia Golden Melody Awards, in fact, mainly because he was not nominated.
In fact, in addition to the Huaxia Golden Melody Awards, he also did not go to the Magnolia Awards held after the year.
His "Destiny" was shortlisted for the Best TV Drama Song Award, and the final awards were received by Jin Yanqiu for him, but afterwards he posted a Weibo thanking the Magnolia Award jury, which was an apology.
