Chapter 16: Director's Talent
In order to shoot in a hurry, the crew of "Who Am I" quickly mobilized the whole group.
Since Fang Long and director Chen Musheng, the entire crew mobilized all the staff to participate in the next filming work, the purpose is to ensure that the crew can complete the city street chase and closing scene that is very important for the whole play in time before the deadline set by the Rotterdam government.
Therefore, although Li Xuan's long-awaited fight scene was helplessly postponed, he was still not very leisurely, but became busier and busier.
After all, since he followed Lu Huiguang into the crew of "Who Am I", he took the initiative to take charge of some messy miscellaneous things in the crew, and he needed to do a lot of work every day. As time slowly passed, he was able to smoothly enter the core team of the Fang family class. However, the work he had originally undertaken did not stop there.
On the contrary, he is still working very hard to do all kinds of daily things, and he is often like a magical fire captain, where there is a problem, he will immediately help, and he is completely a qualified crew patch panacea.
When he encounters something that he really can't do, he will immediately study and master it frantically, ask questions without shame, and have the courage to explore until he understands it. After mastering a new job, he never stops being sluggish and complacent, and will continue to study the new job. It didn't take long for him to be proficient in all aspects of the crew, big and small.
It can be said that those who can work hard, and now the entire crew is desperately rushing to catch up with the scene, which is why Li Xuan will naturally not be relaxed, and even he is much busier than some people.
Fortunately, Li Xuan has long adapted to this very busy and fulfilling life, and he will not feel unhappy because he has too much work on his hands, but is enjoying the sense of accomplishment brought to him by various jobs.
He has long understood a truth, while he is still young, work harder, learn more things, for his growth and future, there are enough benefits and help, but also a kind of rich accumulation of experience and ability.
In fact, he has indeed done all kinds of different things in the crew, and successfully allowed himself to gain enough crew work experience and theoretical knowledge, and he is becoming more and more like a know-it-all who knows all the work of the crew.
Even many old people who have been in the crew for many years are amazed that he can master enough skills in a short period of time, and unanimously believe that after a while, he may really be able to independently lead the operation of a small crew and shoot small-budget movies.
……
In other words, in the closing chase scenes that the crew needs to shoot urgently, most of the important scenes actually need to be cut to the local Dutch military and police to cooperate with them.
These are scripts and plans that have already been written.
The local state power in the Netherlands, as the last party of justice in the movie, will appear at critical moments to complete the encirclement and elimination of criminal criminals. This is actually a very important part of the whole plot of the whole movie.
In order to shoot this similar advertising scene, to promote the beauty and strength of the Dutch national defense. The Dutch side even dispatched three armies, and the police group all appeared on the streets, waterways, and skies of Rotterdam at the same time, and they, the real police officers and soldiers, became a group of very important extras in the crew.
Although due to some special reasons that occurred temporarily before, the filming time of this scene was strictly limited by their government. However, the importance that the Dutch side attaches to the crew of "Who Am I" is still unquestionable.
In order to make up for the crew, they even continued to fulfill some other agreements between the two sides before, and took the initiative to send a much larger navy, land and air force than originally planned, as well as more police. They were fully supportive of the film, otherwise they could have refused to allow the crew to continue filming in Rotterdam, rather than just giving the crew a time.
Moreover, they also took the initiative to ask Fang Long to pull the crew to Amsterdam as a new alternative filming location. It's just that Fang Long considered that the transfer of the pre-planned filming location was too involved, and more unknown accidents were prone to occur in the future, so he had no choice but to hurry up to shoot.
Urgent filming is already very troublesome, and how to ensure that these more huge officers and soldiers can perform according to the needs of the crew is a big problem for the arrangement and scheduling of the crew.
Basically, the crew needs to be as powerful as a top military commander, and the most efficient and accurate command level must be used to coordinate this group of soldiers in various positions and appear at the right time to ensure that the movie can present the most perfect scene.
can be such an ultra-difficult large-scene scheduling and filming task, for most of the ordinary people from the bottom of the people, at most of whom have only commanded hundreds of people to shoot group scenes, the members of the Xiangjiang crew in "Who Am I" really have no experience.
I have to say that the Xiangjiang filmmakers have always been small-minded, so that when they usually shoot movies and TV series, the scenes are often very small, and the pattern is very low-end and simple, resulting in them never being able to have enough control over the plot and large scenes. So much so that throughout the entire film history of Xiangjiang, there has never been a so-called epic blockbuster.
Even if there is a so-called big scene forcibly filmed by Xiangjiang filmmakers, there will be a feeling of extreme disobedience, which can still basically see its low-end and simple nature at a glance.
Therefore, it is very sad that it is difficult to have a dazzling super scene epic film and television picture in the history of Xiangjiang film, which is not a pity.
And Fang Long's "Who Am I" crew can already be regarded as a very different blockbuster and big-scene hobby team in the Xiangjiang film industry, but suddenly, some of them went directly to mobilize the Dutch army and many policemen who commanded the three armed forces to shoot, and the scene was so imposing that it was really a bit beyond their ability to adapt.
Another more important reason is that the filming time requirements for the final pursuit of the plot of the whole play are really rushed, and some people in the crew can't help but lose confidence in a short period of time, unable to believe that they have the ability to achieve perfection in a very short time.
After all, even if the leaders of the Dutch police and military repeatedly promised that they would be very cooperative with the filming of the crew, it is a pity that because they themselves do not understand many of the filming processes of the movie, they still have to rely on the crew to do the entire intermediate command and dispatch.
And looking at the entire crew of "Who Am I", in such a short period of time, the people who are barely able to do these things are basically Fang Long and Chen Musheng.
But what's even more helpless is that the two of them already need to control more complex situations in more aspects, and they really lack skills, and they can't be used by one person.
In the face of filming such a large scene in a short period of time, they obviously still need someone with enough control ability to help them, who is responsible for the on-site command and dispatch of the scenes of these large soldiers.
It's a pity that during the next hurried filming, Fang Long and Chen Musheng successively changed several assistant directors in the crew, but the movie effect of the military and police was still very bad, and they still looked like a small family, which was no different from the common police roles in Xiangjiang movies.
Those assistant directors who have struggled for many years, as if their thinking has been deeply imprinted by the Xiangjiang film industry, has never been able to escape the old framework, and will always be so small and childish, and they cannot show the huge and terrifying momentum displayed by the Dutch armed forces and police groups.
Even if Fang Long and Chen Musheng really had no choice but to squeeze out time to personally command and dispatch in their own extremely busy slots, it was difficult to get a movie scene that satisfied them and the Dutch government.
The filming time was too hurried and rushed, and Fang Long and the others couldn't have enough time to get acquainted with and communicate with the military, and the two sides couldn't work together for a long time, as if they belonged to two different channels.
However, just when everyone was a little helpless and secretly anxious to shoot the best big scenes, Li Xuan suddenly volunteered to stand up again!
Similar to the previous "firefighting process", he once again took the initiative to serve as the assistant director of the crew who is responsible for dispatching the army, so as to contribute to the crew to create the most magnificent and imposing scene for the filming of this scene.
Fang Long, Chen Musheng and the others saw that the time limit was getting closer and closer, but it was just a dead horse as a live horse doctor, so they reluctantly agreed to let Li Xuan, who had always brought them surprises, try it, and originally did not have any special expectations.
But then, what shocked them was that after a simple communication with the Dutch military police, Li Xuan could really guide and arrange the army and police to appear in the most reasonable shooting position, show the most suitable shape and demeanor, and accept the shooting smoothly, becoming an obedient and excellent group performer, and showing his powerful and powerful nature!
Li Xuan's scheduling and control of the entire large scene on the scene is extremely fast and accurate, and the large scenes and large atmosphere scenes successfully created during the filming process are like real military images that come to the face at the first time, which not only fully shows the strength of the Dutch defense military force, but also instantly raises the closing scene of the entire crew to a very enthusiastic mood, which is really a beautiful finishing touch!
In short, Li Xuan, to put it mildly, successfully completed a powerful control similar to that can only be done by a director of a large scene, and successfully helped the crew shoot a very suitable and wonderful super-large military force pursuit group scene. And the happy and blood-boiling ending plot at the end, that little bit of feeling, is even enough to look like a fragment scene of a modern war movie!
After Li Xuan's "magic skill" was revealed, he immediately and again deeply shocked the entire crew of "Who Am I".
They already had a high enough opinion of the young and talented Li Xuan in the past, but still no one dared to predict that it was just after the past few months of various studies with the crew, at most plus what they had seen and heard in the major crews before. Li Xuan, who is young, has been able to grow so quickly that he can really control and dispatch a big scene in a movie with his own hands. And the completion of this kind of large-scale scene clip, looking at the entire Xiangjiang entertainment industry, in fact, there are few people who can say that they can control it well!
Could it be that Li Xuan is really a demonic genius, and even his talent as a director is top-notch?
Everyone in the crew, for a while, really couldn't think of a better explanation.
