"Crazy Stone" seems to have a complex plot, but it is actually simple to shoot. After the crew went through the initial run-in, many actors gradually integrated into the roles, and there was no longer any need to shoot in the order of the plot progress of the script.

Since then, the filming has been progressing very fast, and now on the 50th day of filming, "Crazy Stone" has finally come to an end.

It's approaching the summer vacation, but the Chinese film industry is still in a depression.

During the SARS epidemic, whether it was a Hollywood blockbuster or a domestic blockbuster, they all dived. Those who have a little strength have also postponed the original schedule. Cheng Long's "Flying Dragon Rebirth" was pushed to September, Liu Dehao's "Big Man Has Great Wisdom" in September, Jiang Wen's "Heroes of Heaven and Earth" was also pushed to September again, and the coaxing "Infernal Affairs 3" has not started filming yet, it is said that it is to avoid SARS, and it will be moved to September at least until September.

Then it was the turn of Hollywood blockbusters to be unlucky, "The Matrix 2" was released against SARS, and the box office was at least halved. "Harry Potter 2" performed well in the first week of the domestic market, but it began to dive in the second week. In the past few months, most theaters have been sparsely populated, and they have been affected by SARS to some extent. However, the disinfectants who spray with cartridges on their backs can be seen everywhere.

At this time, Hu Yifei couldn't help but think about the release of "Crazy Stone".

It will definitely not work in September, he doesn't have the confidence to collide with so many blockbusters. Remember that it seems that SARS passed, and in June, the World Health Organization announced the lifting of the travel warning for Beijing and removed the capital from the list of SARS-affected areas.

…… But we have to take one step at a time.

For now, let's understand the finale.

"Who, is the seat belt fastened, check again."

The fog was steaming, and in the distance, I could only hear its sound but not see its people, but Hu Yifei's loud voice was still noisy, and the entire roof of the building was not peaceful.

"Director, it's been checked eight times, eight times!" The stunt brother complained quietly, but unfortunately he didn't dare to let Hu Yifei hear it.

Xu Zheng smiled and walked to the edge of the building and glanced down, his heart suddenly pounded, and he ran away with a strange scream, "Director Hu, if you are afraid, you can simply go on a stand-in, no shame." ”

Hu Yifei was also entangled in his heart, dozens of floors, ordinary people didn't dare to look down, and took a sip of water and said: "I'm not afraid, nor am I afraid of heights, but I enjoy this kind of exciting exercise." It's the first time I've done this, and I'm a little unsure. ”

Xu Zheng gave a thumbs up, "You cow!" "For someone like him who screams at a glance, those who dare to play a high-altitude Spider-Man game regardless of the height are all good men.

In the original work, Lian Jin also used a stand-in to complete this scene, wearing a Flying Tigers hood on his head, and the camera zoomed out, who would recognize who you were. Since Hu Yifei doesn't need a stand-in to go into battle in person, he can naturally omit the hood, and it will be a kind of propaganda selling point at that time, isn't it? !

Zhao Xiaoding got a mechanical cantilever and was going to shoot in the air later, so he came over to discuss with Hu Yifei how to shoot later. Hu Yifei has a lot of similar thrilling action scenes in his mind, and the most impressive is the scene where Tom leaps from the tower in Dubai in "Mission Impossible 4". At that time, Brother Tom was already in his fifties, and he also went into battle in person, towering into the clouds of the world's tallest tower, the wind was howling, and everyone who watched it was weak, let alone those who were filming on the spot. Fortunately, in this scene, there is no need to show off like that.

After some discussion, the shooting plan was finalized.

Try to capture close-up shots to increase the thrill.

“Action！”

At the beginning of the shooting, Hu Yifei took a deep breath and walked into the camera. Standing calmly at the edge of the building, the camera follows his gaze and looks down at his feet. Shoot all the way from top to bottom. Then Hu Yifei followed the rehearsed movements many times, and calmly lowered his back.

Huang Bo, Xu Zheng and others who were watching the excitement over there were trembling in their legs, and Fat Liu and Fat Du were even hugging each other, hiding far away, as if they were afraid that a gust of wind would blow the two of them away, but they hissed with a very painful expression on their faces...... It's speechless.

Hu Yifei's descent in front of him was quite smooth, and when he was about to blow up, his feet suddenly slipped, and the whole person fell on the glass, making a muffled sound of "bang~~".

"Ahh

"Pull it up, hurry!"

There was a panic on it, and even Fat Du Fat Liu, who was hiding far away, couldn't care about being afraid of heights, and ran over quickly, all with a worried face.

"I'm fine, huhu~~" Hu Yifei's voice came from the walkie-talkie, "If you accidentally slip under your feet, don't pull me up, continue to shoot." After looking at the footage, you don't need to reshoot. ”

"Director, are you really okay?" The safety coach asked nervously next to him, "Are there any signs of rapid heartbeat and cramps in your feet?" Dizziness too. If any discomfort occurs, stop shooting promptly. ”

Hu Yifei said on the walkie-talkie: "Don't worry, I'm fine." Well, the heartbeat is a little faster, but it's exciting. ”

"Stimulation?" The timid squirrel Wang Xun and Huang Bo glanced at each other, as timid as him, he couldn't understand the true meaning of this word.

The safety coach made an OK gesture and said, "Okay, then you can continue shooting." Don't mess around, we have done enough security work and there will be no problems. ”

A false alarm, filming continues.

Hu Yifei finally arrived at the designated location, opened the window from the outside of the building with a tool, and got in by the way.

Someone inside had already answered him, and quickly pulled him in, helped unload the equipment, and so on.

The first shot was completed. After Hu Yifei re-watched the shot, he shook his head, "I can't use much, and it's ...... It's too ugly to shoot. ”

Zhao Xiaoding smiled, "It's because your movements are too deformed that they look awkward, after all, you haven't undergone professional training, and your mind is too concentrated, so you can't avoid worrying about performing." I advise you to use a stand-in, after all, you have tried. A few close-ups of faces are very realistic, and it is enough to edit them. ”

Hu Yifei no longer insisted, "Okay, use a stand-in." ”

The people around him breathed a sigh of relief, for fear that he would be a hero again, and someone immediately shouted: "Prepare for the stand-in." ”

A young man with a height of 1.78 meters walked out, and the special effects team helped put on the equipment. This is the action stand-in that can find the most similar to Hu Yifei's body type, Hu Yifei is 1.9 meters after all, and it is easy to see the flaws when you look closely.

That's it, Hu Yifei pouted.

Even this special effects team was temporarily brought in from Hong Kong. Although the mainland has also begun to set up a professional special effects team, no one dares to use it in dangerous situations.

This shoot was done in one go, and there were no baskets.

"OK, pass!"

After this set of shots, I took a few re-shots of the mountain city landscape in foggy weather. At this point, Hu Yifei's first step Virgo, the filming of "Crazy Stone" in Chongqing has officially ended.

The remaining two sets of shots, one group wants Sanbao played by Pang Ren to go to the capital for filming, and the other group wants the secretary played by Wang Xun to go to Hong Kong, which will be after going back.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Crazy Stone is officially ...... today It's done! Hu Yifei waved the guide microphone and shouted loudly.

At this moment, I was suddenly a little excited, but I didn't feel this way when I started shooting.

However, he clearly knows that after the filming of the film is completed, it can only be regarded as half of the work, and there are still post-processing of the film such as cutting and music, submitting it to the electrical inspection office for review and rating, contacting the film distribution network, arranging publicity, etc., and there are many things waiting for him to do.

Hu Yifei's words immediately received a warm response from everyone present, whether it was the crew or the extras, they were all applauding and cheering. Zhao Xiaoding's machine has not been turned off yet, and he faithfully recorded this final scene. It is also a good memory to turn it out again after many years.

Although it was the first time to cooperate, Xu Zheng, Huang Bo, Guo Tao, Liu Ye and Wang Xun had some friendship before, and now through a movie, everyone's interests are tied together, and this friendship is naturally deeper.

It's a pity that on this occasion, there is no big beauty Liu Qingqing. Her scene was filmed a month ago. Later, Hu Yifei was forced to stay to help, doing the work of a producer, until he was called by the school, he abandoned Hu Yifei and went back.

"Brother Zhao, thank you!" Hu Yifei first walked up to photographer Zhao Xiaoding and thanked him. Photography can be said to be one of the most important aspects of a film, so the importance of Zhao Xiaoding is unknown.

"Ah Fei, you are polite, they all say that the young man is more heroic, do a good job, I am optimistic about you." Zhao Xiaoding smiled and patted Hu Yifei on the shoulder and said, although he and Hu Yifei are working together for the first time, and they also know that this 19-year-old director is directing a movie for the first time, but his unbridled camera imagination makes Zhao Xiaoding, an old qualification, have to admire, so the cooperation between them is very pleasant, and there has hardly been a quarrel between the director and the cinematographer like some crews.

"Brother Xu, Brother Liu, Brother Tao, Neck, Brother Xun, these days have made you suffer too!"

Xu Zheng patted him on the shoulder and said, "What is bitter, which one is not bitter in filming." These days, you wake up the earliest and sleep the latest, and everyone is watching. If you want to say hard work, it's still yourself. ”

Everyone also echoed for a while, although the crew was about to be disbanded, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that the signs of Hu Yifei's soaring sky were obvious, and there might be a chance to cooperate again in the future.

Hu Yifei was still very grateful, and said: "Thank you, we spent a total of fifty days to complete this "Crazy Stone". In the past 50 days, everyone has gone from being strange to being familiar with each other, and it is this movie that has brought everyone together. It is the joint efforts of all of us that have led to today's results. Here, I would like to say to you from the bottom of my heart, thank you, thank you. ”

Everyone clapped again, and Hu Yifei grabbed the loudspeaker and said, "Pack up your things, and then go home and clean yourself up." At seven o'clock in the evening, the old place has a dinner, everyone comes, everyone is not drunk and does not return! ”

"Great!"

"Long live the director!"
