In the huge thatched hall, wearing ancient costumes Li Xiaole and Ha Zhiyuan are hanging a steel wire on the beam of the house, and the first meeting scene between Hong Qigong and the beggar gang played by Huang Rihua is being filmed below.

"Stop~!" When the fight between the beggar gang disciples and Jin Bing had just begun, Li Xiaole, who was falling on the beams of the house, shouted, and the crew suddenly sighed, oh my God...... I don't know how many times this has been the case...... I didn't even shoot such a simple shot this morning, what went wrong.

The extras who played the disciples of the beggar gang suddenly wilted, and they all bowed their heads and began to lament: "Why hasn't it been yet...... But is it just a long view, so much to toss people...? "What the hell went wrong?" We haven't opened it yet...... "Damn, it's really not fun, why is the only shot with a face so hard to shoot!?" ”

The action team pulled Li Xiaole off the beam of the house, and Li Xiaole immediately returned to the front of the monitor to watch a picture again, and the more he looked at it, the more he shook his head.

Huang Rihua, who was wearing a gray wig, came over and asked with some doubts: "What's the matter, Director Li, is there anything wrong with my acting?" ”

"No~ Brother Hua, you acted very well." Li Xiaole shook his head, frowned and pointed to the faces of other actors in the background of the camera and said: "The problem is on them, this group of people are really not presentable, which completely destroys the overall feeling of the picture." ”

"Is there one?" Huang Rihua looked at the camera carefully and felt that it was nothing? It's just some extras, they're just seat backgrounds, as long as it's not abrupt, Huang Rihua has worked with so many directors, but he has never seen the quality of a crew as high as this in all aspects, this Director Li is really amazing, he can take care of such a large crew in an orderly manner, both in all aspects are far more than ten times stronger than the TVB crew back then, and he is also the first time to see the American staff use all kinds of novel camera machines in shooting.

Huang Rihua couldn't help but sigh in his heart, if TVB had this level of production back then, maybe their dramas would have been sold in the United States a long time ago.

Now everyone is a little strange, during this period of filming, the other scenes went very smoothly, but every time there was a group scene, Li Xiaole would stop repeatedly, it seemed that as long as there was a scene of extras, the director was very dissatisfied.

Everyone is complaining in their hearts, please...... It's just a bunch of extras, as long as they don't add to the chaos, can you expect them to perform well?

But Li Xiaole doesn't think so, you must know that these group performances are actually not ordinary people, most of them are outstanding students he selected from Beiying and the play, because they want to perform the disciples of the Jianghu sect, they have all received a month of strict physical training, although the intensity cannot catch up with the leading actors at the end of the play, but the basic frame is still there, far stronger than those crooked "disciples" in other costume films.

Everyone thought it was a good shot, but only Li Xiaole lowered his head in front of the camera and looked at the group scenes he had filmed before over and over again, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper, looking at Li Xiaole who was very dissatisfied with the camera and muttered again and again, Zeng Zhiwei also hurried over and asked, "What?" I'm not satisfied, all of them meet the requirements of the script, I think it's good enough. Zeng Zhiwei looks quite perfect, but Li Xiaole feels that it is not enough.

It has been a month since the start of filming, and because the preparation in the early stage is very sufficient, and it is filmed in its own film and television base, the progress of the crew has been very smooth, and the ten episodes of the first part of "Iron Blood Dan Heart" have been filmed.

In terms of plot, they almost followed the adaptation of the 83 version of TVB, only fine-tuned, and all the plots of the first ten episodes were filmed according to the previous script.

With the same plot, under the condition of full support from all aspects, the effect of the shoot is much better than that of the 83 version.

The only trouble that appeared in the filming was that Zhang Guorong and Liang Chaowei, who did not have many scenes, often shouted "stop" and constantly asked to change their performance methods and lines.

This is the style of the Hong Kong crew, in the filming, big-name actors can often ponder the role by themselves, extract the soul of the character in the script, and express it in their own way.

The only troublesome problem in the filming now is how to make Zhang Guorong and Liang Chaowei not pursue perfection too much, after all, this is a TV series, and the filming time is some, and it can't withstand so much meticulous work......

This can be regarded as a happy trouble.

However, after grinding for half a month, Li Xiaole gradually discovered a deep-seated problem, that is, every time it comes to a group scene, the impact of the picture will be greatly reduced, Huang Rihua, Liang Chaowei, and Zhang Guorong use their own temperament to create that kind of romantic martial arts atmosphere, which is often greatly diluted.

In the close-up of some scenes, you can see the main actors and the back-row group actors as if they were characters in two worlds.

This feeling is very subtle, but it can be perceived, it doesn't matter if such a picture is like this, but every group scene is like this, which will greatly lower the level of the leading actors.

The more this kind of costume drama, the more it often needs a real background to support, why "The Lord of the Rings" and "Game of Thrones" and "Pirates of the Caribbean" will instantly bring people into a fantasy world? It's not just because the protagonist is excellent, it's more about the feeling of other details in the shot.

In "Pirates of the Caribbean", any supporting role without lines, whether it is the navy of the Royal Guard, the servant of the duke, or the ghost pirate sailor, these inconspicuous characters are not lost to the leading actors in the play at all......

Emei Film and Television Base brings together the best ancient architectural talents in China, and has achieved the ultimate in architecture and props, which is not lost to those set designers in the United States and Britain, but the level of extras is too far worse than in "The Lord of the Rings" and "Game of Thrones".

Each of them has too much modern atmosphere, although the body shape and posture are good, but they do not have the kind of bright bearing of the ancient knights, either their eyes are submissive like modern citizens, or they are flying like a street gangster.

This problem is not only in the "beggar gang disciples", but also in the "Quanzhen Sect" and "Iron Palm Gang" extras, who lack a sense of "chivalry", more like an underworld organization or some kind of corporate company......

This is a stubborn disease in the Chinese film and television industry, extras come to the crew to see the stars and mix their faces, to put it bluntly, few extras regard themselves as part of the crew.

"This group performance is not good, we must gather them all together and train them." Li Xiaole finally made up his mind.

"Okay, I'll take care of that." Zeng Zhiwei immediately understood what Li Xiaole meant, and immediately nodded in a big brother's manner, took this matter on himself, and waved his hand. A collection of several ensemble directors.

"Go, a few of you have called the group performers, and we will have a meeting at the 'General Altar'." As soon as the eldest brother Zeng Zhiwei greeted, several group performance directors immediately gathered all the group performances, hundreds of people wore beggars rags, and the actors in Quanzhen Taoist robes were used in the "Beggar Gang General Altar".

This building like a broken temple is the "Beggar Gang General Altar" specially built by the crew, because this place is very large, and there are not many scenes, so it is also a place where everyone eats boxed lunches......

These hundreds of people wearing Taoist robes, called Huazi, and extras in various forms and costumes flocked here, and there was really a bit of the atmosphere of the martial arts conference, and Zeng Zhiwei, who was wearing Zhou Botong's makeup, and "Guo Jing" Li Xiaole stood on the stage, which seemed to have a bit of the bearing of the head of the martial arts.

Li Xiaole looked at the audience, although there were a lot of people, but the young group performers still had a few leaders, that is, Beiying and the several major schools of the opera, they also stood at the front, the "beggar disciples" were led by Li Jiahang and Lin Gengxin in the play, and the most influential among the "Quanzhen Sect" disciples wearing Taoist robes were the little beauties of Beiying, Zheng Shuang and Jing Tian.

Seeing Zeng Zhiwei and Li Xiaole standing on the stage with the microphone, everyone quieted down, when the crew of "Shooting the Condor" was recruiting on a large scale in the play, Beiying, and Chinese opera, many people were rushing to see Li Xiaole's demeanor as the best director, especially Zheng Shuang and Jing Tian, the eyes of these little girls have been staring at Li Xiaole, and their eyes have not moved.

"Okay, I'm going to film soon, time is precious, so I'll have something to say." Zeng Zhiwei took the microphone and said unceremoniously to the following: "I brought everyone here, mainly because you played very problematicly, and together with other leading actors, your performance level was lowered." ”

As soon as these words were said, everyone was in an uproar, although they were all newcomers, but they were all top students from major performance academies, and they were all training for a month of basic martial arts skills for this play, and they were so tired every day that they wanted to die. Acting in a group performance will be disliked...... It's just too much to say.

The young and vigorous Lin Gengxin suddenly shouted and asked, "Brother Zeng, why did you say that we didn't act well~"
