Chapter 83: Broken Knife and Miyuki

After the two physical classes on Friday morning, there was no class all day, and Zhou Yi had to rush to the crew to film immediately, and he had been preparing there. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoDirector Xu naturally got the class schedule of Zhou Yi and Qiu C in Yanying and Chinese opera, and will coordinate the filming time according to their courses.

When the two of them don't have classes, they can come over to film together.

Generally speaking, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays will have few classes, allowing for a lot of time for filming.

Qiu C will also pass today, and there will be no delay.

Tang Yan had no role, stayed in school, and continued to do her homework.

At present, she mainly has to learn her homework well, and she doesn't have to go to the crew to make a fuss.

Assistant Xi Wei naturally got the crew's movie shooting notice a long time ago, and came to school early in the morning to pick up Zhou Yi. Waiting for Zhou Yi to finish the physical fitness class, without delaying for a moment, he took a ride directly to the crew, which was really hot.

The classmates are used to Zhou Yi being so busy, he has been having various activities recently, and he is very busy, but this is also very enviable, others can't be busy if they want to! Even Shui Yuexun was very envious of Brother Zhou Yi.

This is good for making small films, you can take time to shoot in the studio at any time, Shui Yuexun can't do it, you can only shoot blockbusters, it often involves taking locations, and it's not convenient to want to shoot during school, blockbusters are not so easy to shoot, preparation is very troublesome, and there are many stars involved in the crew, all of which have various schedule requirements, unlike Zhou Yi's own artists, who receive the company's salary, can wait indefinitely, which is convenient for coordination, so Shui Yuexun can only wait for holidays. Even if you want to shoot scenes in the studio, large companies have a lot of scenes to shoot, and if you have a good scene in the studio, you can't always occupy the studio, waiting for the moon to smoke, and time coordination is very troublesome. Unlike Zhengdong Pictures, the whole company mainly serves Zhou Yi, and you can do whatever you want.

It would be nice if I could play a role in Zhou Yi's brother's film.

Shui Yuexuan is quite longing.

It's a pity that her salary is a big problem, and her position is also a big problem, so she can only consider it later.

There are so many things involved in this aspect that she can't decide.

In the past two days, the filming of Zhengdong's "One-Armed Knife" has been very smooth, using Wednesday and Thursday to finish filming some supporting roles, and also filmed all the action scenes of "Blood Splash Changfengtang" at the beginning of the film.

Because it is a fully enclosed shooting in the studio, even if it is a night scene, it does not necessarily have to be filmed at night, it can be filmed all day, and the lighting can be arranged, which can create a night scene in the studio, and the natural shooting speed is very fast.

On the way to the studio, Assistant Xi Wei, who had been with the group, naturally told Zhou Yi all these things.

She felt that yesterday's fight scene was very exciting and lively.

Especially Cheng Dakui's performance is very outstanding, that bloody battle is simply a one-man battle, don't open it!

and the little actor who played the childhood Fang Gang also played well, and the crying scene was great.

However, the opening scene has just been filmed, and Zhou Yi hasn't had time to watch the original materials on the company's server.

In the morning, there is only a little time after the morning exercise, which is naturally not enough, so I can only wait until I have time to watch it.

rushed to the studio, and the crew behind the scenes was preparing for today's shooting, arranging the snow scene in the studio, and making it very real. Zhou Yi simply said hello to everyone, and then went to the dressing room to make up and change clothes.

As for Mr. Tian Guofeng, he has arrived a long time ago, and he has already finished his makeup, of course, he has to put on his makeup in advance, and he can't rush for time with Zhou Yi who is so tight.

Today, I mainly filmed literary dramas during the day, and I had the lines on the lines the day before yesterday in several literary dramas, and I rehearsed them carefully, there was no problem, the performance was not difficult, and the costumes were relatively simple, mainly because the hair styling of the ancient costumes was a little more troublesome.

Zhou Yi has to shoot a fashion drama during the holiday, there are about two months to go, and he may have to shoot an advertisement for Jianlibao in the near future, for the convenience of styling, plus he may have to attend events at ordinary times, he can't really shave all his hair, there is no need. Now he has short hair, just apply hairspray, fix it back, and then make a wig on it, which is relatively simple.

Later, Qiu C will do the hairstyle, and the hair extensions may be more troublesome.

Fortunately, these jobs have been tried earlier, and there are no problems.

Qiu C also came quickly in the morning, and came after class, and also had to do hairstyling.

Zhou Yi's hairstyle is simpler, and the hairstylist finishes his hairstyle first, and then makes Qiu C's women's bun. In fact, whoever does it first is the same, both of them are a play, no matter who finishes it first, they have to wait for each other. As for the senior brothers played by the two martial artists, it is relatively simple, because they wear hats and can cover their hair, so they don't have to be so meticulous, but the male protagonist and female protagonist can't, they have to do it well.

When putting on makeup, Zhou Yi also had to adjust his mentality, brew emotions, and enter the state.

It's the same with Qiu C.

Before filming, the actors have to do this kind of work, but everyone has different ways to adjust it, and each has its own means. There are even some extreme actors, from the moment they enter the group, they are going to play the role, and when they enter the state, they don't come out, and they regard themselves as that role.

Zhou Yi won't be so extreme, but he has his own way of adapting.

He knows how to self-hypnosis, which is a really good skill that helps him get into the groove quickly.

Because Zhou Yi and Qiu C both came after class in the morning, when they arrived at the crew, it was already more than ten o'clock in the morning, and when they were all dressed up, it was more than eleven o'clock in the morning, especially the actresses' makeup, which was really time-consuming.

When Qiu C was doing the hairstyle, Zhou Yi got the broken knife from the prop master, which was the prop to be used in the performance later.

The broken knife prop is indeed very beautiful, and the blade shape is very cool.

It is completely based on the design draft that Zhou Yi saw earlier.

It will be used in the opening drama of "Broken Knife Remembering the Dead Father" later.

Zhou Yi noticed that the blade of the broken knife was very bright and had been polished into a mirror. He also had a chat with the prop master.

According to the prop master, there are no ready-made props to rent for the broken knife, no props company will cut off the props and then take them for rent, this special weapon props must be made by themselves, and the Qijia golden knife is designed beautifully, and the shape is not exactly the same as that can be rented, so simply build it yourself. In order to achieve the most true effect, the knives are made at a high price in a mold factory, of course, there is no need to open the front, and the post-polishing is handled by the prop master himself. According to Director Xu's requirements, the broken knife should be polished into a mirror, and the protagonist's face should be reflected on the knife body.

The back of the knife is wide, at least to reflect the upper half of the protagonist's face with eyes.

This is Director Xu's requirement, very meticulous, and the broken knife blade must meet the standard of being able to shoot close-ups.

And this is also the kind of metaphor of "being able to hold a knife to a person, not untying the body".

The prop master did a good job, polishing by hand, very patient, and made the props very well. It took a long time just to make this broken knife prop. The crew has been preparing for more than a month, and they are usually not idle and have nothing to do, just waiting for Zhou Yi to film.

The various behind-the-scenes departments are busy.

It's like a photographer has to go out to shoot and do a long shot, and he has no free time.

It's the same with the props department.

The prop master basically uses a high-mesh whetstone or sandpaper for hand polishing, then uses an angle grinder and a stone wheel for polishing stainless steel, and finally uses a wool wheel to add grinding paste, so that the props are successfully made.

Of course, there must be a difference between the props in literary drama and the props in martial arts, but the appearance is the same, and the materials are different.

In order to pursue the most realistic level, there must be some close-ups of broken knives, and the close-ups must be polished broken knives, but when filming action scenes, we must pay attention to the safety of the actors, and we must not really hurt people.

But the shape of the broken knife must be exactly the same, the score is exactly the same, and it will not look different like in the previous life.

The opening scene in the previous life was limited to the technology at the time in terms of the authenticity of the props, and it was really not done well.

But with Director Xu's rigor and seriousness, he must have done a very detailed job.

Even if it is a small-budget film, he will take it seriously, and he will deduct the details very carefully, so that it will be exquisite and the effect will be good-looking.

In fact, the materials of the props themselves are not expensive, but the labor of the prop masters is much more expensive, much more expensive than the props, and the talents are of course the most valuable.

Of course, Zhou Yi understands this.

Holding a prop knife, Zhou Yi wore a costume and came out to see the scene.

At this time, the snow scene outside has been arranged, and it is still the courtyard landscape of Changfeng Hall, but compared with the scene of "Blood Splash Changfeng Hall", the time is different, and the set has to change, and now it is a snow scene, and when shooting, the angle of the camera will be different. Filming the scene of "Blood Splattered Changfeng Hall", the camera must have mainly shot at the hall of Changfeng Hall, but filming Zhou Yi's literary drama today involves chopping wood in the courtyard, not shooting at Changfeng Hall, but shooting at the gate and the trees in the corner, and there is also a panoramic view. Of course, the trees in the studio are fake, they are special tree props, but they are very real, especially the bark on the outside, which can really be fake, and you can't tell that it's fake at all.

If this is not a studio, and there is a cement floor at the bottom, Zhou Yi will also mistake it for a real one.

As for the surrounding snow, it's even more real. Even at the scene, if you look cold, you may not be able to distinguish the real from the fake.

Director Xu's requirements have always been very high.

Taking advantage of this time, Zhou Yi also chatted with the set designer who was doing the inspection outside.

He wanted to know what the snow was made of, it must be high-fidelity artificial snowflakes, and the snowflakes on the ground looked like white foam particles if you looked closely, of course they couldn't be real snow. Even if the weather has cooled down recently, it often snows, and there is really snow outside, but it is impossible to bring real snow into the studio in order to save money, so won't it melt? It's not cold in the studio. How dirty that would be in the studio! Obviously can't do that.

This kind of small film should be shot exquisitely, and the requirements for the lens picture are very high, of course, it must not be dirty, it must be beautiful.

Of course, the scene is full of fake snow, and fake snow is more beautiful than real snow.

The set designer told Zhou Yi that they used polymer absorbent resin, which was fake snow made of hydrogel. The crew temporarily ordered a ton of goods in the early stage, and if it was not enough, it could be ordered again, which was a relatively important prop expenditure. After all, there are a lot of snow scenes in this film, and it will be used later, so I ordered some more. In fact, this kind of quantity is not very much, it is not the kind of mass, and the massive amount cannot be used.

This film can be used this way because it was shot in a studio and the scene is small.

If the scene is very large, or the location consumes a lot of snow, then you can't use this material, either wait for the snow to shoot the real snow scene, or use a bargain instead. You have to spread all over the mountains and everywhere, and you really can't afford to spend money, so you can only use white lime, or use chemical fertilizer instead, and the vision is simply made with computer special effects, so you can.

However, if you really use chemical fertilizer, the smell is too heavy, and the filming is too sinful, and the actors can only rely on professionalism to stand up.

In particular, some TV series are filmed, and they must not use very expensive materials like movies, and they all use chemical fertilizers.

The actors must have had a hard time.

Walking in the fertilizer snow, the air is sprayed with chemical fertilizer, and the actor is all over, and the actor has to act normally, breathe normally, and can't wrinkle his nose and cover his mouth or anything, it's like filming in a muddy dung puddle, what does it taste like!

Cost savings, that's it.

Like some actors in the previous life, the salary was too high, and the crew had no money to spend on props, so they could only save like this, and it must be the actors themselves who suffered during filming, who let you take so much money? What if the actor plays a big name and is unwilling, and the crew has no money? Then you can only find a stand-in! Let the stand-in act, anyway, the stand-in is not afraid of being offended, and he takes little money, he can accept it, and the protagonist simply goes back to his room to sleep, claiming to review the script. So all kinds of literary substitutes, martial arts substitutes, l substitutes, swimmers, substitutes, C bodies and the like, all came into being, and even later they could appear in the cast in a high-sounding manner, only to see that the protagonist is often followed by a bunch of various assistants and various stand-ins, which is simply full of tricks, a vicious circle, and it is strange that the effect can be good.

But in this scene now, the crew of "One-Armed Knife" uses absorbent resin, and the actors are very relaxed.

Even if it is a small-budget film, if the funds are sufficient, there is no need to torture the actors and test the professionalism of the actors, not to mention that the directors are all holding back in the studio, and they don't want to smell the smell and get a bunch of fertilizer.

Qiu C came out to take a look, and he was very happy, and he didn't have to smell the smell when filming.

She knows a lot about some filming methods in the industry, after all, she has studied for two years and has experience, and now she is naturally very happy to see the situation in the studio, and she can easily film, who doesn't want to? It stinks, and you have to endure it, how uncomfortable!

In fact, filming in the studio, many staff members were surrounded inside, and it stinked so much that no one could stand it. What's more, the post-production department is nearby, it stinks, everyone can smell it, Director Zhao and their side still want to do post-production for "Ace"?

It's not like shooting outside, with good air circulation and maybe some of the flavor.

Shooting in the studio, you can't mess around.

Besides, shooting in the studio, the scene is very small, no matter how big the studio is, it is not much bigger, even if there are 3,000 square meters, deducting some working places, about more than 2,000 square meters is the overall construction area of Changfeng Hall, but it is not a scene of a lens. The camera scene is very small, but when the movie is shown in the theater, it is not the so-called high-definition video on the computer, the big screen in the theater is very large, and the small scenes are placed on the big screen, but every minute is complete. This is a problem that must be faced for small-budget studio shooting. Even if you can't feel that the scene is fake when you shoot on the spot, but when you look at it on the big screen, it is immediately exposed, and the scene is too fake, and the audience can see it at a glance, of course not.

In particular, Director Xu has high requirements for the art of film pictures, even if it is a small-budget film, it must be shot exquisitely, shot * true, the scene cannot be fake, how true it can be, how true it must be. In this way, when it is screened, the audience will not be able to see the fake, and will feel that the film is exquisite, the lens is beautiful, and the film is well-made. Exquisite, this is the consistent style of Zhengdong's small-cost films.

From "Five Poison Gates", to "Rushing to the Sky Tower", and then to today's "One-Armed Knife", they are all in the same vein, and they have been maintained like this. Now that Director Xu is filming, he must also follow the requirements, without exception, it can only be better, not worse. Otherwise, shoot casually, no matter whether the camera is good-looking or not, no matter how good the script is, no matter how good the actors can play, the audience may not buy it, how can there be today's high box office?

In this regard, Director Xu is indeed very rigorous and demanding.

For this, Zhou Yi appreciated it very much.

It is precisely because Director Xu has such a working attitude that he can rest assured that he can delegate power, and he doesn't even need to be a producer. If it were replaced by other directors, Zhengdong would not delegate power like this. This is a good reputation in the industry that Director Xu has won in half his life.

In order to make the lens exquisite and good-looking, the picture is true, like any white lime and fertilizer, naturally there is no need for it.

According to the set decorator, in fact, it will be cheaper to buy industrial salt, but the specific effect is definitely not as good as the absorbent resin, and the adsorption of salt is not strong, it is definitely not as good as the professional absorbent resin, and the scenery will be more difficult.

Besides, it's not very good to get an actor with a whole body of salt, salty, anyway, the small scene, the cost is not big, and the amount of snow is limited, so just buy more expensive absorbent resin, so that the lens looks better, and it costs a few thousand yuan more, which is not particularly expensive.

Zhou Yi nodded again and again, very satisfied with this scene.

The surrounding snowscape on the ground, on the house, and on the trees is indeed very beautiful and unique.

At this time, the gaffer had already begun to adjust the lighting, and the lighting on the roof of the shed had been adjusted, and the gaffer hit a circle of yellow light on the opposite wall and the moon gate that was built, as if he wanted to create the kind of halo of the sunset, and handled it in an orderly manner.

Zhou Yi doesn't need to ask more about these technical details, just have these professionals in charge.

Everything is ready, and next, Director Xu ordered that the crew will officially start filming.
