On April 16, Zhenbeibao Film and Television Base.

The crew of "Painted Skin" was ready to go, and Wang Meng took the lines and watched them carefully while putting on makeup.

is not only a big scene, but also his shots, which can be described as the most uncomfortable one for the entire crew.

Fortunately, Wang Meng is the producer, director, and starring.

I know what "Painted Skin" wants to express, and I also realize my ideas through the experience of the Trinity.

In many cases, superficial portrayal of characters and expression of dead and alive love is an effective theatrical device.

"Painted Skin" is like this, Huo Xin's atonement, Princess Jing's inferiority complex, and fox fairy Xiaowei's viciousness are all expressed very simply and directly.

In addition, the same-sex love between Xiao Wei and Princess Jing is also vaguely expressed in the film.

This is a "surprising" bridge, because such a plot setting increases the depth of the characters' personalities and the layering of human nature - or "demonic nature".

Wang Meng's version this time, in order to highlight the importance of Princess Jing and Xiao Wei, appropriately reduced his performances and shots.

The only breakthrough is that Huo Xin's fight scenes have increased.

Chen Kun in the previous life played very well, but he only lacked a masculinity and the spirit of a general.

Wang Meng's body in this life, as well as his outstanding body, can be described as a thousand miles a day after the guidance of Xiaodong in the process.

After more than a month of running-in, Cheng Xiaodong was not surprised.

Every time, Wang Meng can show his design perfectly.

Such an actor, Cheng Xiaodong has only felt it in Jet Li, Donnie Yen and others.

Wang Meng also experienced the scene of riding a horse for the first time, the scene of coercion and hanging in the air, and the scene of cold weapons.

Every performance is a new experience. Before, whether it was "Crazy Stone", "Struggle", or "You at the Same Table", they were all urban plots, but this time the costume magic theme really received a lot.

Wang Meng (Huo Xin), who is holding Fang Tian's halberd, is fighting with the actors.

The fights that look very cool in the movie are not easy to shoot on the spot, and sometimes the moves have to be done one by one, and finally combined.

"Click!"

"It's over. ”

After Cheng Xiaodong in front of the monitor nodded to Wu Ershan, Wu Ershan said.

The staff quickly took the weapon in Wang Meng's hand, and Wang Meng came to the monitor to watch the playback.

"Director Wang, your weapon has about 30 pounds, right? Look at it, it's like a special prop in your hand, your strength is really powerful. Cheng Xiaodong was convinced.

A few days ago, because the props and weapons couldn't shoot the feeling that Wang Meng wanted, he came to the real thing at Wang Meng's request.

At that time, Cheng Xiaodong was startled, 30 pounds of weapons, you treat you as Qin Qiong!

However......

Cheng Xiaodong, who thought that Wang Meng would suffer hardship, was convinced.

For three days, Wang Meng has been shooting with real guys, and he can't see from the camera that Wang Meng is a real guy in his hand, and he thinks it's a prop.

"It's still a real guy who is strong enough, and the shooting effect is good. We also have to go through the production of special effects, so that the shooting is good. Wang Meng nodded.

Because many real-life shots are not completed after shooting, they also need the combination and processing of special effects.

In order to restore the truth, Wang Meng had to use a real guy, not just pretending.

"Is it okay to see a few stand-ins? If you still have the strength to continue, finish my shooting early, and I can devote myself to the rest of the scene. Wang Meng said to Wu Ershan.

In order to cooperate with Wang Meng's real weapons, several stand-ins worked hard, and they all used real guys to fight.

So, three people took turns on the field, one tired and one changed.

Wang Meng's fight scene was filmed in Hengdian, there are not many in Zhenbei Fort, and the rest is in the studio, where is the most.

However, there is no need to cooperate with the performance without physical objects, it all depends on Wang Meng's own control.

Now that the filming of Zhenbei Fort is finished, it is the shooting of the command army, and the next half a month will be very tiring.

Fortunately, after two days, Wang Meng's hard work and the efforts of several stand-ins were completed, and Wang Meng's personal shot was completed.

Here's a shot of the big picture.

The next day.

At three o'clock in the morning, the crew began to be busy, with makeup, props, and laying tracks, building large rocker arms, and helicopters overlooking from the air, etc.

The crew of nearly 1,000 people began to get busy.

Nearly 300 horses were used on the spot, not to mention the CG addition and production in the later stage.

At the same time, I had to coordinate the shooting of so many people and horses, and I had to coordinate the shooting of 30 cameras, not to mention the radio, sets, props, lighting, and a series of departments.

Wang Meng, who was sitting in the director's seat, held a loudspeaker and shouted vigorously.

After more than two hours of rectification and execution, the first shooting finally began.

With a "Ikesh", the crew, like a fully charged motor, began to operate.

However, this is nearly a thousand people, plus 300 brutes, how can it be easy, there was a mistake after taking a few shots.

After that, over and over again......

Until the sixth time, this time the cooperation was very good, the dragon set was remembered after being scolded, and the horse was also remembered after being beaten, and it seemed that they all knew how to behave well.

However......

With a "......snap", a dragon actor from the Sirius Kingdom fell and tripped over himself.

This trip, the whole scene is not good, so many shots are grasping in all directions, you fall, and the rest is all over.

"Shit! Who's that? Won't act? Won't act, fuck me. Wang Meng held the megaphone, it was rare to scold the swearing, I really couldn't help it, I came six times in the morning, but I didn't succeed once.

Wang dreams of showing that kind of grand scene, even if it takes up a small part of "Painted Skin", even a few minutes of footage.

However, this is the final outbreak at the end of the big ending.

Wang Mengmeng did his best to shoot a shocking scene.

has changed a lot from the version of his previous life, he doesn't allow a trace of mistakes, plus it's really stressful, and he can't help it.

"Go on, go on, tell you, if you don't shoot this one, don't give Lao Tzu a meal, go on. Wang Menghuo, who was holding a loudspeaker, was like a king of Hades, running to the front of the army and shouting with his teeth and claws.

The frightened dragons were stunned for a moment.

The big scene of this kind of duel, especially the battle scene of the two armies facing each other, must not only show the momentum, but also the overall cooperation.

Throughout the ages, where there is a famous army in history, the one is not as imposing as a rainbow and as commanding as an arm.

Rushing is to move forward, retreat, and not drag mud and water.

But...... After all, it's one, and the team that has been running in for less than two months, plus the uncontrolled horses, always make mistakes.

Wang Meng expected such a scene, but when he encountered it, he couldn't help but get angry.

The staff at the scene, for the first time, saw Wang Meng have such a big temper, one by one he shrunk his neck and didn't dare to touch his head, and Wang Meng scolded and said that this is not good and that it is not good, and he is dancing with his hands and feet.

"Wait for all the ideas to listen to the command, when the weapon will be released, when will it be received, it must be synchronized, do you know the synchronization? Also, don't hurt anyone, safety first, do it again. After venting, Wang Meng stepped into the position of chief director and started filming again.

However......

It's not as perfect as I thought, even though I can't finish this one without eating, I still ate it.

It wasn't until the afternoon that this one was completed, and it was the most satisfying one of the day.

The day......

Just filmed for a day, Wang Meng couldn't help but reflect at night, it seems that he thought too simply.

It is not easy to have a grand scene and perfect cooperation.

Think about it today, I scolded the actors, the makeup team, the photography team, and the props team, almost all over again.

It's a failure, and he's a tyrant completely.

And only one shot was taken, and after looking at it carefully several times, I found that there were still small mistakes, and I didn't find it at the beginning.

As a result, nothing was filmed for a day, not a single one.

After the large-scale scene shooting is completed, special effects are required to deal with CG additional, superimposed, diagonal and other processing work, so after a small flaw is sorted out, it is several flaws, which is obviously not good.

called Wu Ershan and told him this, Wu Ershan also felt annoyed after seeing it, and his feelings were not only scolded in vain for a day, but also achieved nothing.

Wang Meng also reflected there, it seems that he is in a hurry, and his temper is not good, so he must calm down later.

The next day, Wang Meng said to the crew that yesterday's one was unqualified and remade.

Saying this, the crew was shocked, and they could see that Wang Meng's face was not good.

I also found that Wang Meng is very strict, and no small mistakes are allowed, and he really strives for excellence.

"We're going to make a blockbuster, a magic blockbuster that strives for excellence. Maybe I have a bad temper, but please be tolerant, we are gathered to make a good movie, so I don't allow for the slightest error. I'm not a nitpicky person, but I'm never perfunctory. I hope you understand, when the movie is released and appreciated by fans, I hope you can proudly say that we really put our heart into it for "Painted Skin". I hope you understand, get ready. ”

Wang Meng, who was holding a loudspeaker, first taught the crew a lesson, hoping that everyone would see his attitude and pay attention to it.

"Company Commander Hao, you will let your brothers in the company think of you, and there are scenes of arresting scared soldiers from among you. Yesterday your company performed well, both physically and temperamentally. Wang Meng said to Company Commander Hao.

"Yes chief, promise to complete the task. ”

Originally, some close-ups of soldiers were selected from the recruits.

But yesterday, Wang Meng couldn't see the temperament of a dragon set soldier, nor did he see the perseverance that looked at death as home.

Therefore, I had to choose from Company Commander Hao's troops, these people belong to their true colors, and they are still soldiers, so they are the most suitable to choose.

As for some tricks that are unwilling, if you don't want to, get out, right?

In this shooting, the special effects of the dream followed up the shooting, and every suitable shot had to be processed quickly, and only after the special effects processing could it be a shot that could be edited.

Of course, as for the final editing, it is not necessarily necessary to use it.

In other words, it may take several days to shoot a few shots, and in the end none of them will be used.

You can imagine how difficult it is.

Maybe it's Wang Meng's cheering that is very important, yesterday's shot was shot twice today.

Wang Meng is a little more down-to-earth, it seems that there will always be progress every day, and it is good to make progress.
