Chapter 80: Blood Splattered Changfeng Hall
In the blink of an eye, it's Tuesday of the beginning of the month, and today the class is very tight, and the whole day is an acting class. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Zhou Yi can only study with peace of mind.
However, the crew of "One-Armed Knife" has officially started filming, and some simple indoor dramas with supporting roles are being filmed. Xia Ping, a Zhengdong contracted artist who has just successfully played a widow in "Ace", has entered the crew, played Mrs. Qi, and also played against Tian Guofeng, who played the hero Qi Rufeng, and it is said that the performance was very exciting, which made Director Xu praise, and now it is going to be officially filmed. And the action drama of "Blood Splashed Changfeng Hall" at the beginning is about to begin, after Cheng Dakui finished filming "Ace", he has also entered the crew of "One-armed Knife", preparing for many days, and is receiving strict training from Mr. Huang Xifan, the "evil king", with some Zhengdong martial artists who have a role, to prepare for his opening "bloody battle".
In order to film this big scene full of tragic and tragic atmosphere, Cheng Dakui did not take a vacation for the time being, and entered the group for training after filming "Ace".
Anyway, he only has the opening bloody battle scene, and it doesn't matter if he takes a vacation after filming.
This is a hard work, and if you are tired, you will be tired.
Recently, the action training of the crew is really hard, and Mr. Huang Xifan is very strict and has his own action system. The martial artists had to adapt to his style of play, and they had to meet his requirements. Fortunately, everyone has a foundation in national arts and can persevere.
Jeongdong's action director Hwang Hwa-sung also went over to help.
He didn't need him in the post-production of "Ace", of course he had to go to the crew to help. Director Zhao hasn't taken a vacation yet, and of course the action director can't go on vacation in advance. Moreover, the post-production departments and studios here are close to each other, so it was very convenient to help in the past. Of course, the work of the drama is dominated by the evil king Huang Xifan, Huang Huacheng will not interfere with his work, he will only help, assist from the side, as for whether there is a meaning of "plus insurance", there is no need to delve into it. As long as Huang Xifan's action design is not flawed, Huang Huacheng will definitely not say anything.
The crew's work is generally going well.
These things were told to Zhou Yi by Xi Wei's little assistant, and she has already started to meet with the group, like any crew, she will also attend and report the situation to Zhou Yi in time. If the crew has any things and arrangements, they can also inform Zhou Yi through her, so that they can be uploaded and released. Zhou Yi can't often report to the crew, and it is much more convenient to have Xi Wei as the eyes and ears of Xi Wei.
was busy shooting commercials last weekend, and Zhou Yi hasn't been to the studio yet.
This is something that cannot be helped, there are priorities, and after all, you have to focus on schoolwork, and you can't rush it. However, there is also a lot of information from the crew, which is convenient for the Zhou Yi brothers and sisters to do some pre-filming preparations, so as not to make them fully prepared and perform inadequately.
After all, this is the last part of his trilogy of small-budget action films, and it is the finale, which must be filmed well, and must go all out, not slack, let alone lose.
Xi Wei also informed Zhou Yi of the crew's current location in the studio.
Because this is a small-budget production, due to the limitation of shooting costs, the main shots of the whole film have to be filmed in the studio, and only the scene of visiting the temple fair may need to use some exterior scenes. In the previous life, the original work was basically shot on set. Moreover, Zhou Yi, Tang Yan and Qiu Cao all went to school in Yanying and Chinese opera, so it is usually impossible to go out on location everywhere, so it is more convenient to shoot in the studio.
In terms of production costs, in addition to the special invitation Tian Guofeng and Yang Xianfu, the salaries of the two old gentlemen are a little higher, which needs to be calculated separately and deduct this part, in fact, the production cost is similar to "Rushing to the Sky Tower", and it is basically enough to set up scenes in the studio.
Of course, the director's salary is mainly dividends, not included in the cost.
Xu Qianye's director's salary is definitely much higher than that of Director Zhao, I'm afraid the investment in the whole film is not enough for his salary!
In this way, he naturally can't be paid in advance, so he can only wait for dividends.
As for the salaries of Tian Guofeng and Yang Xianfu, it is said to be very high, but in comparison, it is actually not very high, about 3 million yuan per person, which is similar to the salary of Gao Song and them for filming "Ace".
But Gao Song's "Ace" is a mid-range film, with an investment of more than 40 million, and as a starring actor, it is still very reasonable to get a salary of several million. If the box office is a big hit, they will definitely have bonuses and dividends to be gained.
And "One-Armed Knife" is a small-budget film, the two old gentlemen are not the protagonists, and the total salary of six million is very high.
Under normal circumstances, the salary of supporting roles cannot be so high.
But the two old gentlemen are former action superstars, even if they are outdated, and they are not playing the protagonists, but supporting roles, which doesn't seem to be worth the price, but everyone has stopped filming, and they were invited by Director Xu's face, not that they took the initiative to act in this play, and obviously they had to give a high price. Even logically speaking, Zhou Yi can't be given a bad reputation for squeezing his predecessors, how bad is that.
Do you only take advantage of the advantages and do not suffer losses?
Of course, this can't be given according to Takamatsu's salary when he first filmed "Five Poisons".
However, this money must be allocated by Zhuo Qinglian for additional investment, which cannot be included in the original production cost, otherwise the film will not be able to be filmed, and it will cost a lot of money to set up a scene in the studio if it is exquisite, and the remuneration for hiring a set master is also very expensive. For the overall effect of the film, it must be pleased. Of course, Zhuo Qinglian is willing to make additional allocations, and it is worth it with two old gentlemen pressing the formation, so there is no need to care about that money.
As for Zhou Yi's salary, just give him a symbolic one million, after all, this is a small-cost film, and it is impossible to really give money according to the market.
Takamatsu: They also used to make films at a low price.
Zhou Yi's worth has skyrocketed, and it is impossible to always let him take a little money, which is not appropriate.
Public and private should still be clearer, even if the left hand is down to the right hand, it must be made an appearance.
Such a salary is relatively reasonable.
But in any case, this film is indeed a low-cost production, counting the salaries of the two old gentlemen, the investment is far from being comparable to "Ace", in this case, the crew can only shoot manually in the studio. If you want to find the right location outside, it costs more money, and you don't know how many places you have to run, so you often have to hire someone to rebuild the scene, so it is better to set up the location in the studio, at least save money.
It's a real test of the scenographer's skills.
However, with the development of film and television production in today's world, even if it is a studio set, it is enough to confuse the real with the fake, and the effect is definitely much better than in the previous life. With today's film and television technology, from a technical point of view, how to shoot is much better than in the previous life.
If the effect of the previous life is not as good, everyone doesn't have to mix.
Of course, Director Xu is very demanding, not just able to shoot, the studio scenery must be set up exquisitely in a limited space, but also delicately filmed, to shoot the studio scene with a sense of realism, which requires the strong cooperation of lighting and photography in all aspects, this is completely technical work, and the difficulty is much more difficult than the world's exterior scenes, after all, there are no natural scenes in the studio, they are all kinds of sets.
However, Director Xu is very sure that he can definitely shoot exquisitely, and it will not be worse than the exterior effect of "Rushing to the Sky Tower", which can only be said to be a different shooting style. The set designers and art props he invited are very powerful, they are all masters in the circle, and they are absolutely reliable.
Now the curtain of the vista has been made, and it is said that the effect is very good.
These are taken by professional photographers on location and then produced.
During this time, everyone was not idle, not just sitting in the office.
In terms of special effects, according to Director Xu's meaning, if you can, you don't need it. Special effects take a long time, cost a lot of money, and if the effect is not good, it will also look fake. Special effects can be used for necessary shots, and if they are not necessary, they should not be used.
This kind of small-budget film cannot win with special effects, nor can it win with big scenes.
As long as the actors have superb acting skills and wonderful plays.
There was no class on Wednesday afternoon, just when he had time, Zhou Yi also deliberately went to the studio to have a look, and at the same time participated in the crew training. Of course, his strength is fine, but he must be familiar with the routines and facilitate cooperation. After all, the crew first built the scene of Changfeng Hall, and this scene was used at the beginning, and this scene was also used in some scenes in the film, and this scene was also used in the final showdown at the end of the film, and these scenes had to be filmed together, and it was impossible to build and dismantle, dismantle and build. That is to say, the final battle is actually filmed in advance, not until the end.
This is obviously different from the earlier filming of "Five Poison Gate" and "Rushing to the Sky Tower".
Therefore, Zhou Yi must train in advance and cooperate well with everyone.
I don't know if the two old gentlemen are there, so it's best to communicate with the two seniors on the spot.
Zhou Yi can take a taxi over, and he doesn't need Xi Wei's assistant to pick him up.
When I got to the studio, I walked in and saw that it had really changed a lot. Just like Assistant Xi Wei said before, Changfeng Hall has indeed been set up, the effect is really good, and the scene is very spectacular.
Although the studio covers a large area, with more than 3,000 square meters, in order to create this spectacular feeling, the set designer invited by the crew is indeed of a very high level, and there is no vanity under the reputation, and the methods are quite professional and spicy.
Changfeng Hall is the family residence of the hero Qi Rufeng in the film, and the set designer and the set workers have built the entire Changfeng Hall, including the front door, front hall and courtyard, all arranged in the studio, which is well organized, and there are some filming rooms inside. It must cost a lot of money to build Changfeng Hall, although the difficulty is not as high as the construction of Chongxiao Tower, but the scale is larger.
Assistant Xi Wei came up and helped Zhou Yi give a detailed introduction to the situation inside.
The set is really exquisite, and the details are stunning and breathtaking.
Now Cheng Dakui and some martial artists are rehearsing the opening action in the courtyard that has been built. In the past two days, they have been rehearsing and preparing for the opening scene "Blood Splash Changfeng Hall". The evil king Huang Xifan was also present and was guiding and correcting them.
Director Huang Huacheng was also on hand to help.
Zhou Yi went over to say hello to everyone.
The employees of your own company are all acquaintances, so you don't need to be polite.
Huang Xifan and Zhou Yi met last time in Director Xu's "Best Partner" studio, they are not strangers, knowing that Zhou Yi is usually very busy with studying, it is rare to come over once, and he can understand, when he saw Zhou Yi coming, he beckoned him to come over, and he was not polite, and immediately explained to him the rehearsal of the play action in the field, and asked Zhou Yi's opinion. Everyone is work-oriented, and when we meet, we talk about work, and we don't talk nonsense. Like Zhou Yi's recent awards, as well as the one-finger Zen video on the Internet, Huang Xifan didn't mention it at all, it is estimated that the old gentleman does not pay attention to those things at all, and his mind is on the action design, which is better and very professional, at least to ensure that the action design is very professional.
Zhou Yi took a closer look and felt that there was no problem, as the opening scene, the play was exciting enough, and it could be seen that Mr. Huang was indeed very skilled in this regard, and he had been immersed in it for many years, and he had formed his own style system, and he couldn't find anything wrong. In particular, the sharp axes and short thorns with hooks and hooks of Huainan are very exquisitely designed, and the play is very distinctive. The fight scenes in this life must not be filmed like the original work in the previous life, and the actions are all completely new.
The action scenes in the previous life were too backward to be copied from them.
Huang Xifan's action design is really skillful, and the action style of sharp axes and short stabs is very brilliant.
In this way, Zhou Yi can rest assured, and he doesn't have to worry too much about the design of the play in the future, the quality must be guaranteed.
The opening scene is Huainan Eryu leading a group of subordinates to besiege Fang Cheng, a loyal servant played by Cheng Dakui.
Sharp axe short stab siege against the Qi family's golden knife.
Fang Cheng was a loyal servant and protector of the master, in order to protect the hero Qi Rufeng, who was fascinated by incense, staged a tragic bloody battle of "one husband is a pass, ten thousand people are not open", and finally the intestinal battle, blood splashed Changfeng Hall, and died with the enemy, and he was killed by one of the two poisons of Huainan by a short stab "two ribs inserted into the knife".
Inserting a knife in both ribs is a very allegorical way to die.
Zhou Yi read Director Xu's storyboard script, although the design of the play is different from the previous life, but in the script created by Zhou Yi, the "two-ribbed knife" death method specially pointed out will obviously be retained. It seems that Director Xu is very satisfied with the death of this "two-ribbed knife", especially in the hand-drawn design in the storyboard script, and there is a heroic feeling of dying "standing up to the sky and the earth, heavier than Mount Tai".
This is the essence of the scene "Blood Splattered Chofudo".
And the opening scene also explained the origin of the broken knife.
Fang Cheng's Qi family golden knife was cut off by one of the two poisons of Huainan axe, after his death, this broken knife was collected by his son actor Fang Gang, and later after Fang Gang broke his arm, he learned the fragment of the one-armed knife, which is just suitable for using this broken knife.
People are one-armed, knives are broken knives, complement each other, and have a unique charm and artistic conception.
After watching it for a while, Zhou Yi basically understood Cheng Dakui's rehearsals, and asked Mr. Huang Xifan when his action design would start rehearsals, but Mr. Huang said that he was not in a hurry, and finished filming the scene of "Blood Splattered Changfeng Hall" first.
Zhou Yi's action design is completely different from the action style of other martial artists, when rehearsing the opponent's scene, there is a big difference, and they can't be confused, anyway, there is plenty of time, you can take it slowly, and you have to wait for Mr. Yang Xianfu to come.
Zhou Yi's decisive rivalry is mainly with Mr. Yang Xianfu.
The two must cooperate tacitly.
