The leading actors of the crew completed their work, and they all left the studio one after another.

Some behind-the-scenes personnel are still rushing to work, but these tasks do not need to be bothered by Zhou Yi.

In the evening, Zhou Yi didn't go back to school, after all, he still has to film tomorrow, there is no need to toss back and forth, he has to rest well. So he took his sister to rent two hotel rooms in good conditions near the art district, and for the time being, he would stay for one night, and after dinner and a shower, he would rest early.

The two rooms he rents are adjacent, with a connecting door in the middle, which is usually locked, and the two rooms are not related to each other, but if you meet a family tenant or acquaintance who lives next door, you can ask the hotel to open the connecting door, so that it is like a two-bedroom apartment.

Both rooms have beds for their convenience.

This is not a separate standard room or double room, after all, there is a difference between men and women, if you are in the same room, Zhou Yi is afraid that her sister will be embarrassed, so she is embarrassed. After all, the beds in the standard and double rooms are next to each other, there is no barrier in between, and they are not two-bedrooms.

But it is very convenient to have such a connecting room, there is a connecting door in the middle, so you don't have to worry about your sister.

As for renting a business suite, although I am not afraid of spending money, it is really unnecessary.

Tang Yan lived next door to Zhou Yi's room, followed him all the time, and did not go back to school.

Let her go back alone, Zhou Yi was not at ease, so he naturally disagreed.

And Tang Yan also wants to watch filming tomorrow, but she doesn't really want to go back to school.

If you stay in a hotel, you can stay in a hotel! Anyway, my brother spends money.

The little girl was very relieved.

But why does it feel so weird to open a room in a hotel with my brother? Something seems wrong!

She always felt that the hotel waiter looked at her abnormally.

Alas! Forget it, don't think about it, go to bed early and rest!

After recuperating all night, the siblings got up early the next Sunday, and after breakfast, they hitchhiked to the studio. Zhou Yi went so early because he didn't regard himself as a company boss at all, but as a fledgling actor.

If you want to be the boss so much, what else do you want to film?

As an inexperienced young actor, of course, you have to prepare early.

It's his work ethic.

At present, there are not many people in the crew, and they are still making some preparations for filming, after all, filming will officially start today.

According to the shooting schedule posted up, this morning we mainly filmed the practice scenes of the five poisons.

Obviously, this is not a film shot in the order in which it is played, but what is appropriate to shoot first. Most of these practice scenes have to be edited in the opening of the film, and there will be occasional clips and insertions in other parts of the film, so naturally they must be filmed first and left for later editing. After filming the editing materials of these practice scenes, and then making the set old, it was Zhou Yi's turn to shoot the opening scene.

Action director Huang Huacheng and the martial arts team came early and were also making preparations.

For the time being, it is not Zhou Yi's turn to play, so he doesn't have to rush to put on makeup.

After a short time, the directors and art directors came, and everyone said hello and immediately got to work.

The actors also arrived, and they didn't have time to say anything, so they hurriedly went to put on makeup and changed into their respective costumes.

Makeup artists, costume artists, and hairstylists are all working intensely.

The art director and artists are on hand to guide you throughout the process.

Next, the five protagonists have to take turns filming an action scene, which is very important.

The atmosphere of the shooting scene gradually became tense.

The prop master is carrying out a final inspection of the various shapes of practice props that have been installed and adjusted, so as not to make mistakes and hurt the actors.

These props are all used by the actors to perform. If you get it wrong, it's a big deal, and the consequences are unimaginable.

The martial arts group is preparing tools to hang Weiya, which will also be needed for the performance later.

At this time, according to the director's requirements, the photographer has already selected the camera and its auxiliary equipment, and determined the lighting equipment. Colleagues in the photography and lighting teams are busy researching and calculating the lighting and lens exposure of the upcoming scene.

Multiple cameras have been called up and placed in different positions.

The boom camera above the studio is already in place.

The camera assistant is assisting the photographer in checking the machine, and will be responsible for taking some stills and taking photographic records later.

The gaffer is adjusting various lighting effects according to the photographer's intention to ensure that the shoot goes smoothly.

The lighting assistant is checking the light fixtures and electrical safety.

According to the director's requirements, the scene reporter took the pre-prepared storyboard script and prepared to start work.

Of course, Director Zhao can't take the script written by Zhou Yi and use it directly, he has to follow his own shooting ideas to make a storyboard script to facilitate shooting, and these works have been completed recently. Director Zhao is indeed very capable and experienced, and he has done a good job of preparation.

The scene is an important member of the director team, so it is natural to follow Director Zhao.

Later, he will be responsible for recording everything that happens during the filming process, such as the scene name, camera number, camera position, dialogue, performance connection, lens length, main prop usage, director's evaluation of the shot, etc.

These will be used as on-set references and post-editing.

And he re-auditioned the scene to be filmed in advance, and used a stopwatch to time the script again to ensure that the error in the previous estimate would not be too large. Generally speaking, a good scene writer can audition every scene in a storyboard script based on a script and stopwatch alone, and then use the extraordinary precision judgment cultivated over many years of practice to calculate the showtime of the script scene.

This allows the script to avoid unnecessary material and to determine the exact amount of money to be budgeted for.

These professional jobs are not familiar to Zhou Yi at present, and they still need to be learned and practiced.

At this time, he took his sister and watched from the side, gaining a lot of experience.

Both brothers and sisters were a little amazed in their hearts.

Although this is just a small crew of a second-tier film company, shooting a small-budget film, the whole crew is like a sophisticated instrument, running in an orderly manner, from the director to the handyman, all in place and performing their duties.

It is indeed not a simple matter to complete the shooting of a movie.

A layman wants to be a director if he has memories of his past life, it's a dream!

Fortunately, Zhou Yi didn't have the idea of being a director at all, he just wanted to be a superstar and go to Yanying to go to the acting department, not the director department.

In the future, he doesn't have any idea of acting and directing.

There are so many good directors, finding a way to cooperate is, why bother to work hard, it may not be successful.

It takes talent to be an actor, and talent also needs to be a director.

But any big-name actor, only after he has passed the peak of his acting career, will he find a way to change careers to become a director and rejuvenate his second spring.

Such a thing is too far away from Zhou Yi to think about it at all.

Time passed little by little, and the on-site preparations were almost completed.

The five leading actors have all come out, they have already changed into their practice costumes, their hairstyles have changed into ancient costumes, and they are all wearing the masks of the Five Poisons Peking Opera masks prepared by the art team.

Huang Huacheng led the martial arts group and was instructing them in their upcoming performance. The action design has already been completed, they have practiced it beforehand, and they are very familiar with it. Now it is nothing more than deepening the memory, re-admonishing and emphasizing the main points.

After a few moments, everyone was sure that there was no problem.

The director gave the order, and the filming officially began.

Both the gaffer and the photographer are ready.

Next, the five leading actors stood in front of the special set, lined up in a row according to the director's requirements, and first shot a large close-up of the whole thing. With the camera move, it was busy for a while, and the overall close-ups and independent close-ups from various angles were shot.

The director got enough satisfying clips.

Then the five leading actors each filmed their own practice shots.

According to the order of the role brothers, the first to play is Cheng Dakui, who plays the centipede boss, standing in front of his special set, and went up to practice a set of hundreds of feet and thousands of hands, fist and foot kung fu is indeed very sharp, clean and neat, and the special prop plate thrown by the prop master from above is smashed and kicked with various punches and feet. The kung fu of a thousand hands and a hundred feet is performed wonderfully, full of power, and swift and fierce.

The director shouted to stop and praised two sentences.

Cheng Dakui's practice scene is indeed very successful, and the action standards are in place and there is no ambiguity.

Compared with the poisonous footwork of the scorpion Laosan, his footwork highlights speed and strength, and belongs to the type of uprightness.

The basic skills of this member of the martial arts group are indeed solid enough.

Although Cheng Dakui's performance was very good, Director Zhao still asked him to reshoot it and make up one as material for post-editing.

Many times, it is necessary to insert the editing shots of the exercises, but in order to enrich the lens language, increase the diversity of the picture, and not make the audience feel monotonous and boring, these editing pictures will not use the exact same shots, which requires more material.

Cheng Dakui is a member of the martial arts group, of course he understands this truth, and in order to make his performance more colorful, he will naturally go all out.

The field workers cleaned the scene, and Cheng Dakui reshot it very seriously, and this was the end.

He was accustomed to this situation, and he was completely familiar with it, and he did not have any difficulty.

After the show, he and the other leading actors clapped their hands in celebration.

Everyone congratulated him and thought his performance was very good.

Zhou Yi has no role for the time being, but he also stepped forward to congratulate Tang Yan, everyone is very familiar. Zhou Yi also took a group photo with Cheng Dakui, who was wearing makeup, and asked Tang Yan to help take pictures with his mobile phone, and he also used his mobile phone to take a few simple stills before.

At this time, the director was adjusting the camera position, rearranging the lighting, and preparing for the next scene.

The gaffer played out the blue lighting, which looked cold and eerie, completely different from the previous red lighting. In fact, the lighting of each starring role is different, and it must conform to the respective characteristics of the five poisons, which are basically red centipedes, blue spirit snakes, pink scorpions, yellow geckos and green toads.

After the adjustment of each department, the shooting continues.

The second to appear on the stage was Zheng Zilong, who played the second child of the spirit snake, and his performance was also very outstanding.

The right hand is the head of the snake, the left hand is the tail of the snake, the tail is the first to struck, the head is the tail, very smart and changeable, especially he uses the snake strike technique to break the prop crockpot, very clean and neat, left and right sandwich, even more fierce and vicious.

Later, he used this trick to pinch left and right in the play, with two fingers through his ears, penetrating the ear door of the toad Lao Wu.

His spirit snake can also swim remarkably, in order to speed up the speed, the martial arts group has to use a rope to cooperate and pull.

After all, no matter how high Zheng Zilong's kung fu is, it is impossible for him to really climb so quickly like a snake.

To enhance the effect, special effects are used here.

In post-production, the rope is erased.

Then the spirit snake flew into the crockpot, and it was necessary to hang Weiya, and the performance here had to be a little hard.

The same shot twice, Zheng Zilong also successfully completed.

The difficulty of his performance was a cut higher than that of Cheng Dakui just now, but fortunately, he passed the test smoothly.

Everyone also congratulated him.
