Chapter 527: Changing the heroine
There are two reasons why Xia Xing can play the role vividly.
One is that Xia Xing has watched this movie before and can understand the character traits of the protagonist Leng Feng better than others.
The other is that Xia Xing has obtained the skills of an acting master in the system, so his acting skills are naturally at the level of an actor.
And although Xia Xing's current kung fu is far behind those martial arts masters, it is much stronger than ordinary people.
The first day of filming went very smoothly, and the whole crew below was going to North Africa to shoot shots at sea.
This scene at sea, although it has little to do with the whole plot, is very important.
Because the crew of "Wolf Warrior 2" does not have any popular superstars, if you want to be brilliant, you must hold the audience's emotions at the beginning.
So the first shot had to be exciting.
The sea was clear and several boats were floating on the sea.
This time, Xia Xing also specially invited the famous water photography master Duruk.
Duruk said seriously: "Mr. Xia, my diving strength can hold it for five minutes at a time, and I don't have high requirements for you, one shot can be two minutes." β
Xia Xing frowned: "If it is all sub-shot, it will definitely affect the shooting effect, and this is a one-day delay at sea, so the manpower, material resources and funds consumed are unpredictable."
"How many photographers do you have?" Xia Xing asked.
"We have five underwater photographers who can work in shifts, but you have to come up for a change of air after three minutes of shooting. β
"I don't need to, you just need to take care of the other actors. Xia Xing said.
"Mr. Xia Xing, underwater shooting is not as simple as you think, especially at sea, once something goes wrong, then you will die. β
"Don't worry, there won't be a problem, just shoot as I say. β
At the beginning of the shooting, Xia Xing jumped into the sea without any diving equipment.
"This guy is too. The photographer was a little worried.
Originally, the photographer thought that Xia Xing was just trying the water temperature and would come up soon.
But a minute passed, and Xia Xing did not emerge from the water.
Two minutes passed, and Xia Xing still didn't come up.
At five minutes, everyone was a little nervous.
After all, five minutes is a tipping point when a person dives into the water.
"Damn, something happened to Xia Xing. Duruk's face changed slightly.
He hurriedly brought his diving equipment and prepared to dive into the sea.
However, at this moment, Xia Xing suddenly dived out of the water.
Whew, watching Xia Xing come out of the water, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Duruk hurriedly pulled Xia Xing up.
Xia Xing said: "I have measured the current and the situation on the seabed just now, and there is no problem with shooting. β
"You dare to go into the sea to test the currents without any tools? It's the first time I've seen an actor work so hard. Duruk was speechless.
Xia Xing smiled: "Who made me still the director! β
Underwater shooting is very hard, but because Xia Xing can stay at the bottom of the sea for ten minutes in one breath, the shooting speed is very fast.
Almost every shot, Xia Xing is a shot to the end.
One shot is easy to say, but it's really too difficult to do.
Especially underwater, and it's a fight scene.
Ordinary actors need to constantly go to sea for ventilation, but Xia Xing doesn't need to.
This ensures the continuity of the entire shot.
The first time he went into the water, even Duruk, the master of underwater photography, was stunned.
How the hell did this guy do it to hold it underwater for so long?
The scene that was originally filmed in a week, because Xia Xing could dive underwater continuously, it only took three days to shoot it.
Whew, Xia Xing let out a sigh of relief.
Shooting on the water can be said to be the most difficult part of the whole movie, especially the underwater fighting scenes, which are also difficult to see in the entire film circle.
Xia Xing was also very satisfied with this shot.
After the film on the sea is finished, it is transferred to land.
FΓΌrth in North Africa is a small country still at war.
The reason why Xia Xing put the camera here is that he hopes to shoot the most realistic film.
Looking at the war-torn city, everyone's hearts lifted.
Xia Xing asked Li Da, the assistant director who had arrived in advance: "How is it, have the government army and the opposition been dealt with?"
"I have given a lot of benefits to the people in charge of both sides, and they have promised to keep us safe. β
Xia Xing nodded: "No matter what, safety comes first." β
Filming in North Africa begins.
The environment here is very harsh, and even bathing is a bit difficult.
At the filming site, Xia Xing was setting the scene, but the heroine Sofina was delayed in arriving.
The entire film crew waited for half an hour before Sofina was late.
Xia Xing's face was very ugly, because the weather here was too hot, so everyone was waiting for you alone, and this was not the first time.
"Sofina, I hope you will stick to the time next time. β
"Oh, I'm a girl who needs makeup, and the climate here is so dry. Sofina said with a look of arrogance.
At the beginning of filming, it was supposed to be Sofina's play, but it was a stand-in during filming.
Xia Xing finally became angry at this time: "Sofina, what do you mean, if you can use a stand-in for dangerous scenes, it is a bit too much for you to use a stand-in for this kind of literary drama." β
"Director Xia, you see that the sun here is so poisonous, I want to protect my skin, besides, the money you give is so small, this scene is so bitter, if you let me shoot the whole process, it's okay, but I have to double my salary. β
"It's impossible to double the salary, Sofina, you signed a contract, if you can't stand it, why didn't you say it at the time?"
Sofina snorted coldly: "When I signed the contract, I didn't know it was so difficult. β
"Hmph, it's impossible to add money, and it's definitely not okay to use a stand-in. Xia Xing said angrily.
"I'm sorry, I'm not waiting. Sofina snorted.
Seeing that Sofina was leaving, Li Da hurriedly walked over.
"Okay, let's not say a word. β
Saying that, Li Da pulled Xia Xing aside: "Xia Xing, bear with me, now that we are halfway through filming, how can we change the actors, I will persuade her over there." β
Under the persuasion of assistant director Li Da, Sofina finally agreed to shoot everything else except for fight scenes.
However, although Sofina agreed, she was simply perfunctory.
"Click, Sofina, haven't you memorized the lines?
"I was too tired to go back yesterday, so I didn't memorize it, so I didn't put a cue board in front of me, and I looked at it and said the lines. Sofina said lightly.
Xia Xing finally couldn't bear it anymore: "Since you don't want to shoot, get out of me." β
"You, you broken movie, do you think my mother is really willing to make it, and challenge "God of War 2", I watch it as a bad movie, tell you, I just won't make it. Sofina also tore her face, scolded directly, and turned around with her assistant and left.
The heroine left, and Li Da sighed: "Director Xia, look at your temper, now these stars who have just become popular are like this, they can't bear any hardship." β
Xia Xing snorted coldly: "Others are used to her, but I won't get used to her." β
However, Sofina was blown away, and Xia Xing also had a little headache, and she had to choose the heroine again.
