Chapter 47 lit up the set

The hotel Tang Feng chose was an old apartment complex north of the 18th block.

Although it looks neat and clean, the mottled walls and low-rise old-fashioned buildings give people a sense of vicissitudes.

The owner of the inn, a Canadian immigrant, is said to have been neighbors with a Chinese couple in the past, so he was willing to suspend business in favor of Tang's films.

When stepping on the scene, Tang Feng took a fancy to this place at a glance, the building is not high, the picture sense is enough, and the shooting effect should be very good.

In order to achieve the best state, Tang Feng just explained some things that needed attention to Quentin, and started to warm up alone.

After jogging around the street twice, he was busy as his body gradually warmed up, checking the set at one time, giving a lecture to the group performers, and then running to bring two bottles of water to the police officers who came to maintain order.

will also have convulsions, and do some stretching movements from time to time, which makes everyone worry about him for a while, and some people talk about it quietly in private.

"Dude, the director can't have smoked fairy grass (big M), right?"

"I heard that action scenes will be filmed in a while, and the crew is too poor to hire stuntmen, so the director has to go into battle in person, he won't be too stressed, right?"

"Do you want to shoot action scenes? I only know that Bruce Lee is the best among the Chinese, I don't know if we young directors can do it?"

Tang Feng handed over the director's power to Quentin, and the cinematographer was Wilton and Affleck in addition to Yanush, and the field worker was still Damon with an aggrieved face.

When he first took over the role, Quentin was very excited, and immediately began to organize a rehearsal according to the script.

Charlie also came this time, but Tang Feng did not let him be the cinematographer, but asked him to make a cameo appearance as a producer to maintain the normal operation of the entire set.

Charlie brought his own hand-held camera, saying that he wanted to record him filming the movie, and go back to show Angela, who had been staying at home obediently because she had not received Mary's permission.

Ken took her shopping on the grounds that he had asked Monica to help him pick out a few gifts for his mother. In this regard, Tang Feng just smiled, he didn't have time to take care of him now, and it was good to have someone to help take care of him.

This time, he wanted to integrate parkour into the chase scene, and designed several representative moves for this purpose.

It's not very difficult, but it's a test of coordination and flexibility.

The first set of shots is not complicated, just a simple street chase, that is, Tang Feng runs in front, and the group actors who play the little minions chase behind.

In the process of escaping, Tang Feng had to make various actions in a timely manner to avoid or jump over the obstacles in front of him.

After his explanation, Quentin had already grasped his idea and arranged two main cameras for this set of shots.

One of them was mounted in a pickup truck, and as Tang Feng fled, he always followed his side, taking parallel close-ups of his parkour.

The other is mounted on the roof of the building, offering a panoramic view of the entire street.

At ten o'clock in the morning, everything was ready, and Tang Feng gave Quentin an encouraging look and told him that he could start.

β€œAction!”

Quentin's excited voice was heard in his ears, and Tang Feng immediately rushed out!

As he was running, two porters suddenly appeared, carrying a wardrobe, slowly and leisurely across the sidewalk, blocking his way.

I saw Tang Feng running to the wardrobe, pressing the wardrobe with both hands, and with a sharp lift, he did a beautiful 360-degree front flip and crossed the obstacle.

As soon as he landed, one of the nearest bandits behind him crashed into the closet, and then he heard the sound of banging, and the five or six robbers who were in hot pursuit all crashed together, and the sidewalk was suddenly in chaos.

"Oops, you stepped on my hand!"

"Dude, can you stop holding me down?"

"Fuc~k! Which/takes my knees against my ass/thigh?"

"Quick! get out of the closet, damn it, my leg is crushed underneath. ”

Originally, Tang Feng planned to shoot the whole set of shots in one go, but after he landed, he ran forward for a short distance, and found that no one had caught up, and when he turned around, he happened to see the chaotic scene.

He had no choice but to stop, trotted to the place where they collided, and asked Charlie to bring someone over for treatment while checking on their injuries.

Although I have said it several times to the group performers, so that they don't have to hit it solidly, just put on a show.

But what he didn't expect was that these people were all tendons, the first one used all his strength to hit the top of the wardrobe, and the few people behind him also really bumped together.

Fortunately, no one was injured, but when they collided together, they pushed each other and fell to the ground, and then subconsciously interrupted the performance.

After several actors got up, they immediately asked to shoot again, but Tang Feng didn't agree to them after watching the playback.

His movements are well done, fully embodying the ability of parkour to cross obstacles, it looks explosive, and those idiots are really colliding together, so the sense of picture is still very strong.

Even if it is reshot, it may not be able to achieve such an effect, so this set of shots is simply left.

However, this also changed Tang Feng's mind, "It seems that this kind of action is really not suitable for shooting long shots, otherwise no matter whether it looks good or not, someone will definitely get hurt." ”

"Forget it, let's cut it into small groups and shoot them separately, there's no need to risk everyone's safety in pursuit of coherent long shots. ”

He discussed it with Quentin and decided to switch to a multi-lens shot, and this time, at Quentin's suggestion, he added two more hand-held cameras to follow the shoot from multiple angles.

Don't think that filming action scenes, as long as you shoot the protagonist well, you can really reflect the director's skills if you can shoot the supporting roles with characteristics.

Although Quentin doesn't have any deep skills yet, Tang Feng still agrees with his idea, so that at least when editing, he can get more material.

As for the film, Wilton had already said, "The film has it!"

In this way, from the start of filming to the adjustment of a shot, the entire crew was busy for an hour before starting the following shooting.

This time it was more difficult, according to Tang Feng's design, when he was crossing the street and wanted to rush into a small alley, a speeding motorcycle suddenly stopped in front of him.

What he had to do was to fly over the motorcycle while maintaining the original speed.

For Tang Feng, it is not difficult to cross the motorcycle, in fact, even many people who have not been trained can do it.

The difficulty is that there is another person on top of the motorcycle!

This requires the rider to have a certain tacit understanding with him, before he jumps, the rider must not only stop the motorcycle, but also be able to quickly lower his head and try to avoid the Tang wind in the air.

Otherwise, once two people collide together, it will be a disaster that no one can predict!

The motorcyclist is okay, at most he was hit and suffered a small injury, but if Tang Feng, who was stranded in mid-air, had any mistakes, I am afraid it would not be as simple as a small injury.

This action should be the most difficult one among all the actions designed by Tang Feng!

After all, the actions that can be completed by one person will always be less difficult than those completed by two people together.

Don't look at Tang Feng's B-grade films, but he is very ambitious, and wants to make B-grade films with low investment to the level of A-grade big productions!

Therefore, in order to achieve the best effect, Tang Feng decided to fight it.

As a stuntman, the first precept is to never shoot moves that you are not sure of!

Although he wasn't sure if he could complete this set of actions well, he believed that his brother would not let him be hurt!

Because the rider he chose was Charlie, who still didn't know anything about it, and was shooting around with a broken camera.

And in order to reduce the difficulty, he plans to let Charlie ride a low women's motorcycle, so that the difficulty can be reduced a lot, I believe there should be no problem.

Anyone who has ever practiced high jump knows that when the height reaches a certain standard, each additional centimeter of height is a huge challenge for the athlete.

Now that the overall height has dropped by nearly twenty centimeters, that is, about one meter and a half, Tang Feng is still very confident.

But Charlie heard him say this idea, but he did not agree with him in any way, and threatened to complain to Mary to make him abandon this dangerous plan.

Tang Feng: "Charlie, you are my best brother, can't you help me?"

"You know I trust you the most, so this rider is you!"

Charlie: "It's because we're brothers that I'm going to stop you from doing this, do you know how dangerous it can be?"

"No! I'll go tell Mary and Angela now, and if they both agree, I'll do as you say, or don't talk!"

Tang Feng: "Brother, it's for Angela, that's why I'm desperate!"

"Since Alan's death, I have been cast out by that vicious woman, and Angela has been grounded by her, and if it weren't for your family, we would have been orphaned. ”

"Now I'm gambling on everything, just to be successful, and then find the best lawyer to fight with Julia for custody of Angela!"

"Charlie, good brother, can you help me?"

Tang Feng was so good at talking about it, and even moved out of his tragic encounter with Angela before Charlie finally agreed to his plan, "That'...... Okay, but you can't be strong!"

"I promise!"

Similarly, there is no rehearsal for this action, everything can only depend on the tacit understanding of two people.

Although Charlie's driving skills are okay, it may be because he is too nervous and always can't catch up with the point, either driving slowly or stopping at the position.

They filmed several times, and Charlie finally stopped at the position he designated according to Tang Feng's request, and lowered his head deeply at the first time.

"That's it!"

Tang Feng was overjoyed in his heart, and immediately stepped over Charlie's head without hesitation, and after landing on the ground, he rolled forward beautifully and rushed into the alley.

At the same time, behind him, enthusiastic applause and cheers rang out, and his wonderful performance instantly ignited the entire set, "Fantastic!"

"Sean, that's good!

"Wow, that's incredible!"

"I'm sure that those so-called action stars will never be able to do such a beautiful move!"

"Director, you're Bruce Lee! I'm so proud of you!"
