Chapter 257: "Painted Skin" is launched
For the filming of "Painted Skin", Wang Meng chose to make it easy first and then difficult.
Start with a simple shot, i.e. a shot of an individual, or a shot of no more than 10 people.
Anyone who has watched "Painted Skin" knows that "Painted Skin" has a lot of fight scenes, or what kind of scenes of thousands of troops.
For this lens alone, there are as few as a few hundred people as many as a thousand people.
Since Wang Meng wants to shoot, it is naturally a perfect shooting.
There is a big scene next door to the yellow sand in Zhenbei Fort, which scene is nearly 1,000 people involved, not to mention training scheduling, even clothing is also difficult.
Often such a big scene, that is not half a year, or even a year.
Wang Meng has only been two months since the project was established, so it is naturally impossible to complete.
Therefore, first complete the shooting of the small scenes. Behind is the shooting of the big scene.
For this reason, Wang Meng invested nearly 5 million just to train actors, which is still simple training.
Among them, the third master and Wang Meng used their relationship to contact a certain unit, and the army was also very interested in this cooperation, and drew out a coaching team of 30 people to train the dragon set.
Fudan University and Shangju, professors and scholars who have studied the Qin and Han dynasties, are currently instructing in Zhenbeibao.
Including Qin and Han etiquette, action and language in filming.
In Hengdian, two percent of the people belonging to the entire crew are participating.
Yes, the crew is divided into three parts, and the most of them are trained in Zhenbei Fort.
Secondly...... Hengdian has two percent of the crew and actors, mainly filming.
Some of the people who are working on special effects are working on special effects, not to mention the staff who are filming all over China for the sake of framing.
In this big production, Wang Meng can't personally participate in all aspects.
There are four assistant directors alone, each leading a group of people, working hard to complete the work of their subordinates.
In terms of filming, Wang Meng, as the leading actor and director, even if he wants to participate in all aspects, he has no time.
I had no choice but to introduce from Director Lu, who had previous filming experience, to complete the cooperation of the assistant director.
Moreover, there was not much progress in the early stage, and it was almost a run-in of time.
It's not that Wang Meng doesn't want to speed up the progress, but everyone cooperates for the first time, and there must be time to run in, plus such a big production, it is obviously impossible not to run in.
However, these are all in Wang Meng's expectations.
Wang Meng, who returned to Hengdian from Zhenbeibao, officially started filming.
After all kinds of equipment, costumes, personnel, etc. were in place, "Painted Skin" officially started filming a few days after announcing the start of filming.
As China's largest film and television base, Hengdian Film and Television City, Wang Meng has a feeling of being in a different world.
In the previous life, only from graduation, Wang Meng was mixed in Hengdian.
Now, when the chairman of DreamWorks and the chief director of "Painted Skin" arrived, he was warmly welcomed by the manager of Hengdian Film and Television City.
Such a big production, especially, "Painted Skin", which is advertised as the first magic masterpiece in China, chose to shoot in Hengdian?
For Hengdian, it is definitely a high praise.
Not to mention, the income brought by Wang Meng's filming here is rare in terms of influence alone.
With such a big crew, the horizontal drifting actors are also happy, if they are accidentally selected, they will interview other crews in the future, and it is proud to say that I have played a trick in "Painted Skin".
So......
For anyone who is a little ambitious, after learning that the crew of "Painted Skin" was stationed in Hengdian, the group leaders, special actors, and hotel service personnel began to liven up.
Not to mention, journalists who want to dig up news.
In order to avoid trouble, Wang Meng chose closed shooting, except for the crew members. Other...... Reporters and other media must get the consent of the crew.
In this regard, Hengdian has given strong cooperation, and everything is based on the conditions of the crew.
In order to shoot the clarity of "Painted Skin", Wang Meng spent a lot of money and rented a lot of top Hollywood shooting equipment, and there are many Hollywood filmmakers and technical consultants in the crew.
These top-notch equipment made the crew appreciate.
I thought: -- Director Wang really let it go, everything is the top, and he is really rich.
Actually, it's not Wang Meng pretending, it's for special effects, only these top equipment with special effects can show the best picture quality, so the money should be spent.
But here's the problem?
These Hollywood fuckers, demanding an eight-hour workday!
How can this work?
China does not like this, it requires being on call, and you will definitely not be able to come to the eight-hour system.
In the end, one thing was solved - money.
After all the scheduling cooperation and the equipment personnel were in place, the first shooting officially began.
Wang Meng, who was busy like a spinning top, finally felt at ease for the time being.
Other branches, just need to take the time to see the progress, and now focus on the shooting of Hengdian.
However, Wang Meng found that he was still the starring actor, and he was forced to do so.
No way?
Fortunately, the physical fitness is good, and the actors are all China's top teams and actors, and after everyone is in their place, this time is much better than the previous two movie shoots.
It's worth the money.
Don't say anything else, let's talk about the actors, the main actors Zhou Xun, Zhao Wei and Wang Meng, the comparison of the three is like a competition, so that those dragon sets and rookie actors know what acting skills are and what is against the sky.
Liu Shishi and Feng Shaofeng, who are the main supporting roles, said that the pressure is very great!
The three top domestic actors, whether in terms of professionalism or acting skills, taught them a lesson, telling them to understand what it means to be an actor, not a simple star.
Even the big smug poetry girl is serious, and she stars in her true colors......
Although he is always scolded.
But...... After all, the early stage was simple, and it got through.
And the old employees who are familiar with Wang Meng found that Wang Meng has changed.
If you become irritable, you can say that if you make a mistake once or twice, you will be scolded if you don't change it.
It's not that Wang dreams like this, but the pressure is too great.
For the first time, I found that it is not easy to make a big production, and the previous "This Man" or "You at the Same Table" were all simple plots.
There is no such big scene, and high capital investment.
Therefore, it is all under the control of Wang Meng, and I can take my time with you.
This time it's different, he's learning himself, and even making mistakes all the time, so he cares about other people's lack of growth.
Add in the pressure, you can imagine.
As a result, Wang Meng is somewhat like a tyrant on the set.
But......
The people who cooperated this time were all old film and television people, and they didn't feel anything. Because it's all the same, the director is not serious, how can he control the scene.
The crew is not small, all of them add up to nearly a thousand people, you don't lose your temper like a good person, absolutely not.
Let's just talk about Feng Shaofeng and Liu Shishi!
Shishi girl was scolded and cried several times, but she had no choice but to endure it.
Among them, the best performer is Wu Ershan, and it seems that Wu Ershan is very suitable for such a scene.
He used to be a small production director.
For Wang Meng's trust this time, some people gossiped before, but now there is no more.
When Wang Meng starred, he was in control, and he did no worse than Wang Meng. Outstanding.
Many people don't understand this? Wang Meng does know!
In the previous life, Wu Ershan rose from an unknown little director who filmed "Painted Skin" all of a sudden, and this person is talented.
Wu Ershan stared at the monitor tightly, this scene was the plot of Wang Meng and Zhao Wei.
Zhao Wei in the play, dressed in red, with bewitching makeup, it took more than an hour just to dress up and make up, and Huo Xin played by Wang Meng was also dressed very differently.
The magical plot does not need to follow the mapping of history, and it can be a little presumptuous.
In the play, Huo Xin is the captain of the Han Dynasty, and the responsibility and pressure make him dare not face the princess's love. When he went on a blind date with the princess who was wearing Xiao Wei's skin, he blamed himself even more, and when he knew that the princess had exchanged hearts and skins with Xiao Wei for him, he drew his sword and stabbed himself.
This time there are changes to the version, but not much.
In fact, the first starring role in "Painted Skin" is Zhou Xun, the second is Zhao Wei, and the third is Wang Meng.
Huo Xin is the link between Xiao Wei and Princess Jing, and the role is also a link, and the most important thing is Zhou Xun and Zhao Wei.
The scene played now is the scene after the exchange between Princess Jing and Xiao Wei.
Princess Jing at this moment can be said to be Xiao Wei's thinking.
So much so that the dress is very bewitching.
"Click!"
Urshan shouted.
"Yes, Director Wang, it's very good, you can take a look, I think this one has passed. ”
Immediately, the staff came up to remove Wang Meng's makeup.
Wang Meng came to the monitor and looked back at the scene just now.
"Well, Sister Wei is doing well, this one is over. ”
Zhao Wei in the monitor, showing the strangeness of the demon after being possessed by the demon to the fullest, sitting lazily in the bronze mirror money, very charming.
Superb acting skills, coupled with the all-round capture of the camera, this one passed after three shots.
"Director Wang praised you, and your performance was good. ”
Zhao Wei also watched the replay and was very satisfied with her performance.
"Alright, ready for the next one. After this footage was kept, Wang Meng said.
That's it for big productions.
Often you prepare for a long time and shoot such a one. Not to mention, the costumes and props spent for this article, etc.
The filming in Hengdian was all small scenes, and after a period of running-in, the crew finally entered the formality.
With all aspects in place, the crew has entered a rapid period.
Because of the special effects?
Many shots have to be developed immediately after shooting for special effects compositing.
Wang Meng shoots almost during the day, and conducts research and combination with special effects personnel at night.
Fortunately, Hengdian is very complete in all aspects.
Although there is no supercomputer with special effects to save trouble, it is not delayed.
The special effects personnel of the dream special effects are also being integrated with the crew.
On the ninth day after filming started, Jiang Shuying came.
In order to take care of Wang Meng, Jiang Shuying temporarily suspended school and took a break from her job at DreamWorks to take care of Wang Meng.
Wang Meng did not refuse, after all, there was indeed a lack of such a person to take care of.
came with Jiang Shuying, as well as the crew of "Chainsaw" led by Liu Zhiyuan.
"Chainsaw" has been preparing after the New Year, and now that the personnel and funds are in place, Wang Meng moved the filming location to Hengdian in order to command the progress and direction at close range.
Originally, a low-budget production like "Chainsaw" would have been made in an empty room.
But Liu Zhiyuan's first shooting, coupled with Wang Meng's attention, chose Hengdian.
