Chapter 52: Porridge for Females
After dealing with several acquisitions and agency negotiations for online games, when Gu Cheng returned to Hengdian Film and Television City, he already regretted taking over the filming of a tome TV series like "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the final analysis, he is still too busy, and this kind of big production takes too long - a 40-episode TV series still has a lot of post-production special effects, and it takes three or four months to shoot before and after, plus more than half a year for post-production, it is really not a luxury for people like him to have time.
It's also a shame that the Internet winter is not over yet, otherwise the delay will be even greater.
He secretly made up his mind in his heart: after saving enough qualifications in the field of writing and directing this time, he will only invest in TV series in the future and not end up in person, and the movie will only personally point out those who can win awards, if he wants to play a cameo role, the schedule will definitely not reach two months.
If you are a choreographer, you must hire a responsible assistant director who can take on at least 80% of the workload and has the ability to work independently most of the time.
Regardless of whether you regret it in your heart or not, you must do a good job of taking it down. When I joined the group again, the crew had already filmed three or four episodes of the plots of other Xiaolongnu lines, and all the scenes that were vacated were those that needed Yang Guo to appear.
Gu Cheng was busy for more than half a month, and finally caught up with the plot of Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu in the Valley of Despair, as well as the adventures after falling off the cliff with a broken arm.
Fortunately, the actresses who played with Gu Cheng were all more powerful, and they maintained their condition well, and there were no group scenes with many roles in this paragraph, and the probability of mistakes was smaller, basically they could go down in 2 days per episode.
The filming progress of the whole drama can be completed by seventy or eighty percent, and the time has also entered mid-December, which is about to enter winter.
After finishing work that day, Guan Hu took the shooting plan and came to Gu Cheng to discuss:
"Director Gu, should you change the final shooting plan? After filming the scenes where everyone went to the Valley of Despair to snatch the Desperation Pill and Gongsun Zhiqiu Qianqi died together, why don't you jump to the final finale of the Xiangyang War? and then come back after New Year's Day to shoot the scenes of Yang Guo and Guo Xiangfengling Ferry sixteen years later. ”
Gu Cheng was so tired that he didn't bother to think about it, so he asked directly, "Why?"
Guan Hu discussed: "Because Yang Guo and Guo Xiang met for the first time at Fengling Ferry, and until Guo Xiang jumped down after Yang Guo jumped off the cliff, these 5 episodes are set in the cold winter according to the script, and snow scenes are needed." If we can wait until it snows naturally, it will be easier for us to create a landscape, so we will shoot it when it is the coldest time.
In addition, bringing the Xiangyang Battle to film in advance can also make most of the actors completely leave the group in advance, and the settlement of salaries before the Chinese New Year will not be so hasty. In the last half month, as long as the main roles of Yang Guo Xiaolongnu, Guo Xiang Guo Fu, and King Jinlun are left, as well as Zhou Botong's plays. ”
Gu Cheng felt that it was very reasonable, and agreed with advice: "Cheng, then arrange it like this, finish this section of the Valley of Despair, and then shoot the battle of Xiangyang." ”
……
Two days later, the plot came to the scene of the Battle of the Valley of Despair.
The villains of Gongsun Zhiqiu Qianqi Li Mochou will all receive bento boxes in this episode, and the reunion agreement between Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu after sixteen years will also be made here, which can be regarded as the penultimate climax of the whole play.
It's already cold, and the natural flowers outdoors are almost withered. Therefore, the large area of "love flowers" completely depends on the set master to move from the greenhouse and cover the soil to create a landscape. It is also a pity that there are no "love flowers" in the world, so just find a few kinds of Solanaceae flowers that bloom relatively late.
After this period of cooperation, Gu Cheng's serious attitude has penetrated into the hearts of all the actors in the crew.
Especially in the plot after Yang Guo fell off the cliff, when Gu Cheng filmed Yang Guo's one-man show when he practiced the Xuantie Sword Technique, everyone saw the technical treatment of the eagle and the Xuantie Sword. Liu Feifei and Jiang Xin, the two girls who have been in the crew of CCTV's Zhang Production's "Dragon Babu", have a comparison in their hearts.
As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of not knowing the goods, you are afraid of comparing the goods. Compared with Gu Cheng's pursuit of excellence, CCTV's investment and requirements and attitude towards special effects are too far and too far behind.
And Gu Cheng is not just strict with others after throwing money at it, he is even stricter with himself. So that sometimes even if he is NG and criticized, no one can be dissatisfied with Gu Cheng.
Early in the morning, the set designer got up in the middle of the night to work on the exterior and all the actors were waiting for their makeup.
Before the start-up, Gu Cheng received a phone call, which was from Quan Baoya, informing him that he had arrived in Wuzhou, and the driver of the crew was picking her up to Hengdian.
"Then be careful on your own road, someone will take you to familiarize yourself with the situation when you arrive. Gu Cheng commanded gently, and then hung up the phone.
According to the plan, Quan Baoya played Guo Xiang in the play, and she had to wait a few days to enter the Fengling Ferry plot of "Sixteen Years Later" before joining the group.
But after all, Kwon Bo-ah has never filmed a TV series, and all her acting skills come from the acting night class that was less than a year old when she was a trainee at S-M, as well as her experience in shooting MVs over the years. In terms of qualifications, everyone in the crew is more senior than Quan Baoya except Yang Mi.
Even though she has been in Seoul for the past two months, Kwon Bo-ah still needs enough time to adapt to the state by taking a few hours every night to read the original book and script of "Condor" and find teachers in the company to make up for acting lessons.
At the time of the call, Gu Chengzheng was with Liu Feifei, Jiang Xin, and Sun Li.
The scene to be filmed in a while is the scene where Gongsun Zhi hijacks Gongsun Lucalyx, and then Gongsun Lucao resolutely commits suicide in order to avoid Yang Guo's rat trap. And Xiaolongnu and Cheng Ying both need to be by Yang Guo's side when Gongsun Lucao dies to comfort him so that he doesn't feel too sad.
The content of the phone call, the girls naturally listened to it.
Jiang Xin's mouth was fast, and he didn't shy away from taboos, so he directly urged him to break through: "It's Miss Quan who plays Xiao Guo Xiang, right?"
"Who else, have you ever seen Brother Cheng call someone so gently?" Liu Feifei pursed her mouth with a proud face.
She is young and has no guesses, and she has been messing with Jiang Xin and Sun Li for a long time, so it is inevitable that she can't control her mouth, so she will naturally shake out the news that Quan Baoya is Gu Cheng's distant cousin and Gu Cheng loves each other very much.
Sun Li is introverted, pretending not to know when she knows, and is unwilling to chew her tongue, but Jiang Xin doesn't have so many concerns.
"Yes, you will take her with you these days. She has only been learning Chinese for two years, which is not easy. The addition of this film to her is also convenient for opening up overseas markets. Gu Cheng admitted it frankly, and at the same time explained without any traces.
"Okay, what's that. Who doesn't bring their sister, what's so embarrassing, don't worry. Jiang Xin patted his chest in a big way.
In less than half an hour, Quan Baoya arrived, as soon as she saw Gu Cheng, her eyes lit up, and she rushed over, only to find that Gu Cheng had put on makeup and a costume, so she stopped her steps and only shook hands with Gu Cheng in a restrained manner.
"The relationship between brother and sister is so good, it's really enviable. If only I had an older brother when I was a kid, it wouldn't be so hard. Jiang Xin, who was dressed in a green gauze skirt, put his arm on Quan Baoya's shoulders and said jokingly.
Quan Baoya is 16 years old, and she has grown to 1.6 meters in her life. However, Gu Cheng's appearance seems to have made this "Loli Cultivation Plan" have a butterfly effect, and for several years, she has insisted on relaxing with a muscle magnetic therapy device, and Quan Baoya has lived up to her expectations with a pair of long legs, just like those girl group faces.
In addition, the other girls are wearing costumes, and Quan Baoya, who just arrived, is wearing jeans, and a pair of slender and straight long legs are even more vivid. Jiang Xin, who was more than 1.7 meters tall, stood beside her, and she couldn't see the obvious height advantage.
Liu Feifei also came over immediately, and nodded slightly with Quan Baoya, but there seemed to be a little dissatisfaction.
"Hello everyone, I used to sing, and I can only be regarded as a newcomer when I shoot TV, please take care of me!"
Quan Baoya's dress is similar to that when she participated in various variety shows in Fusang, she wore her hair in a bun, which seemed to be convenient for traveling. When she sees someone, she habitually bows slightly, and it is difficult for people to be dissatisfied with her at first glance.
"What's polite, big singer, now you are famous except for Brother Cheng, even if you don't have acting skills, you can drive a lot of ratings. Jiang Xin patted Quan Baoya's shoulder, with a sister's expression.
It's been nearly half a year since a series of eslite music concerts. The two songs "Winter-love" and "Every-Heart" in Kwon's "Valenti" album, with the hits of "Blue Life and Death Love" and "Inuyasha", coupled with the continuous heating of crowdfunded concerts, have firmly sat on the throne of the highest popularity and popularity of Yiyu and Fusang songs in China this year.
Coupled with Dingdang's top-of-the-line promotional resources, more than 1 million albums have been sold in the Chinese market in half a year. is the fourth best-selling singer of the year after Zhou Jielun, Jolin Tsai and Gu Cheng, and far exceeds all other foreign singers.
The actresses in the crew naturally don't know her details, and they are not convinced that people join the TV series as a new person.
……
All the preparations were made, Guan Hu signaled that the camera could be turned on, and Quan Baoya had not finished greeting the crew members, so she hurriedly hid to the side and quietly watched and studied.
Everyone sorted out the state and went a few in a row, all of which went smoothly. Soon photographed Sun Liling's bento.
Gongsun Zhi kidnapped his daughter and seized the Desperate Pill. Yang Guo should have intercepted the way to seize the pill, but Gongsun Zhi put the blade of the sword on Gongsun Lucalyx to threaten him.
"Don't hurt her! You even hurt your own daughter, it's not as good as a beast!" Gu Cheng, who played Yang Guo, had a strong voice, and his expression was just right to shout out the lines.
And Sun Li, who plays the role of Gongsun Lucao, has already brewed the emotion of "He would rather not have an antidote for me, even if I die for him", after a sad look, he bumped into his father's sword blade and committed suicide.
There are several cameras to capture the whole lens from multiple angles, and there are two cameras to track the facial expressions of Gu Cheng and Sun Li alone.
Gongsun Zhi fled in a panic. And the little dragon girl who only had Yang Guo in her heart and only had the Ruthless Pill in her eyes didn't have time to comfort Yang Guo more, she just glanced at the dying Gongsun Lucao with a dark complexity, sighed, "What are you doing", and chased him out directly.
Only Cheng Ying was left on the side to continue to comfort Yang Guo: "Brother Yang, people can't be resurrected after death, Sister Gongsun is so resolute and willing to die for you, then it can be regarded as a well-deserved death......
The photographers in charge of the camera were very nervous, and the camera bit Gu Cheng and Sun Li to death, and they didn't dare to move at all, just waiting for Gu Cheng to cry.
If his emotions are too slow, maybe he will have to cut out some intermediate shots waiting for him to cry in the post-editing.
Fortunately, Gu Cheng has been trained in three films and already knows how to control emotions.
In just half a minute, he didn't move, without the help of any movements, a pool of tears brewed in the corner of his eye, and then in the position he had seen for a long time, it quietly dripped down, and fell on the corner of Sun Li's mouth who was held in his arms, and the blood (tomato juice prop) overflowing from the corner of Sun Li's mouth fused together, diluting the blood a little, and then slid down Sun Li's face together.
Sun Li clenched her teeth and controlled her body to twitch and shake slightly--many experienced people can make their bodies tremble like Parkinson's patients by gritting their teeth--and then stretched out her hand and gently stroked Gu Cheng's face: "You are willing to do it for me, you don't even want an antidote, I will die blind." ”
Then the claws twitched, and fell, pretending to be dead. The hand stained with tomato juice left a mutilated and dull bloody handprint on Gu Cheng's face.
"It's perfect--after this one is cut out, cut it a little immediately, and let the person who made the audio track synthesize the song that Sun Li sang, and see the effect! Everyone will rest for half an hour first!" Guan Hu sat in front of the monitor, and he also slapped his thighs at the performance in the field.
Sun Li wiped her face, and she could finally get the lunch. The scenes she and Gu Cheng have not had are many among all the girls, and they can only be ranked fifth.
Gu Cheng pulled her up from the ground and thoughtfully patted the dirt on her skirt. Sun Li smiled: "Thank you, Director Gu." You have made me believe again that there are men in this world who are rich and not bad. ”
"Puff~" Jiang Xin on the side couldn't help laughing and patted Gu Cheng's shoulder, "Brother Cheng's charm really doesn't have to be said, even the 'fine girl' can be influenced." ”
"Cousin, water. Quan Baoya took a thermos cup, quietly walked to Gu Cheng's side, and handed him the hot water. He was also given a wet towel so that he could gently wipe the tomato juice handprints off his face.
Gu Cheng took it, and counted Jiang Xin while wiping: "Do you complain about your colleagues like this, what 'fine women' have been said." ”
Jiang Xin waited for Gu Cheng to finish drinking the water, snatched Gu Cheng's thermos cup without seeing it, drank a few sips, wiped his mouth and complained:
"I finished work every day and chatted with my sister, and she didn't complain about me - she said that when she was 11 years old, her father was rich and prosperous, and then abandoned her mother. She followed her mother through a hard life of 7 years of displacement. Since then, she has not liked to socialize with boys, and has become an 'unmarried', thinking that there is no good man in the world. Brother Cheng, you can make this kind of girl believe in love again, it's really a good skill. ”
"Damn, I didn't do anything, it's up to me!"
Jiang Xinwan smiled: "It's just that you don't do anything to make people believe in love - such a rich, talented and handsome boy is surrounded by a group of beauties every day, and he hasn't done anything for a few months, it's really amazing." ”
Kwon Bo-ah was quietly accompanying him. At first, when she saw Jiang Xin drinking the water she handed her cousin, she felt slightly angry in her heart for no reason. But after listening to Jiang Xin's words, she was inexplicably relieved.
