Chapter 338. I'm the king of the crew!
In fact, the fourth level set up by Yin Tianyou is very simple, that is, on-the-spot play, which should be nothing to many actors, but Yin Tianyou's on-the-spot play has almost nothing to do with the role, and even has a great difference from the role.
For example, if you are here to compete for the leading actor, then Yin Tianyou is likely to let you play a dog, which will make you very depressed and feel insulted. Boycott, or don't act, and occasionally persist in playing the dog, he will be judged to be unqualified, because there are many ways to play a dog, a leper dog, an old dog lying on the ground basking in the sun, a dog licking wounds, and a stray dog wagging his tail and begging for mercy, of course, there are also puppies that bark, and whining in heat.
It can be said that playing a dog can have a hundred postures, and people who do not have the ability to observe and imitate, as well as the ability to figure out, will not be able to act well at all.
For the actor competing for the heroine, Yin Tianyou's request was very simple, he just said to the actress lightly, take off your clothes.
Often at this time, the actress is either stunned, or stunned and goes directly to unbutton her clothes, and some ask why you want to take off your clothes and what do you want to do? Some of them are smiling, as if they know what you mean.
In this regard, most of Yin Tianyou's reaction was, okay, you can go back and follow the notice.
Many people don't understand why Yin Tianyou is doing this, he is really? Or do you really have this fetish for women? Some people even think it's an insult to women.
In the face of such a question, Yin Tianyou's answer is also very interesting, going up to the hall and down to the kitchen. Such a woman is a good wife and can take off her clothes. Wear it one by one, such a woman is a good actor.
At last. After Yin Tianyou and other directors interviewed together, none of the selected stars or artists were the biggest signed stars or artists at the moment.
Nonsense, as a big-name star, who will play a dog, who will take the initiative to take off his clothes, being a star has an identity, status, face, and a high level of reserve.
But as a director. Yin Tianyou doesn't need such an actor, because he wants someone who can obey his own acting, not a big-name master.
In the end, the actor is a newcomer actor signed by Wanda, whose name is Kang Fei, and the actress is a newcomer signed by Guangguang with a name Linglong.
Such a selection result made the bosses of the three major film companies dumbfounded, but because of the previous promise, as long as it is the person from the selection company. There will be no more to say, and there will be no objections.
Now, these people are indeed from each other's companies, but none of them are big stars. are all newcomers, which makes them a little apprehensive, after all, many movies sell lineups. With such a lineup, how can it sell at the box office?
Yin Tianyou can ignore these. After the actors are in place and the funds are in place. Immediately announce the start-up!
……
Like many mainland blockbusters, a press conference is held before the film starts to attract media reporters and let them report more.
The same is true of "Touching the Golden Captain", especially the two newcomers who are not very well-known in the circle, neither the starring Young Master Chen and Princess Shu of the previous play, nor the big names in the circle, which makes the media can't help but be curious.
It can be said that the scene of the whole press conference was very warm, everyone actively participated and actively asked questions, of course, the most asked question was, why did you choose such two newcomers as the starring actors?
Yin Tianyou's answer is also very simple, because I am the director, I think they are good, they are the best!
Very domineering answer, very confident answer, and very pertinent answer.
So much so that the next day, the major media reports on this matter were basically headlines like this-
Yin Tianyou is domineering and leaking, I say good is good!
It was with such vigorous media attention that the drama "Touching the Golden Captain" finally started smoothly.
As an adventure-themed action drama, "Touching the Golden Captain" carries the expectations of too many fans and book fans, so Yin Tianyou decided to use good steel on the blade, and most of the money invested was spent on special effects shots and action scenes.
When Yin Tianyou was very young, he watched Hollywood's most classic action-adventure film "Raiders of the Lost Ark", and was deeply impressed by the structure of this drama and the thrilling special effects. So Yin Tianyou feels that if he wants to direct such a movie, he must achieve three firsts.
Special effects first.
Action first.
Story first.
To this end, Yin Tianyou spent 150 million yuan to build a Hongda ancient tomb, using 3D shooting technology to build an underground netherworld that can almost be fake.
This netherworld is divided into five layers according to Yin Tianyou's meaning, namely the "Netherworld Ghost Cave", in which the protagonist enters the bottom from a huge sinkhole, and then explores the tomb through a gloomy ghost cave; The second layer is called "Blood Sea Rafting", and after entering from the ghost cave, the protagonists of the story take a canoe and pursue deeper secrets of the ancient tomb in the sea of blood in the dark world. The third level is called "Imprisoned Purgatory", where they will find many zombies who have been imprisoned to death by criminal law and witchcraft......
In short, in order to shoot this drama, Yin Tianyou can be said to have worked hard, in addition to building a huge underground tomb group, he also personally taught the actors how to act.
Yin Tianyou is very experienced in the training of rookie actors, especially when he was in South Korea, he did this kind of thing a lot. But Korean actors are different from Chinese actors, and the dedication of Korean actors has reached an outrageous situation, perhaps this is related to the fierce competition in the Korean circle, and Chinese actors have strong self-esteem, so Yin Tianyou's training of these two rookie actors was not very smooth at first.
Actor Kang Fei, who plays Hu Bayi, and Linglong, who plays actress Shirley Yang, don't trust Yoon Tianyou very much, although they know that Yoon Tianyou is a well-known big star and director in South Korea and even Asia, but ...... But he was too young.
A guy who hasn't grown up yet, can he make a good movie and have good directing ability? Can......
But Yin Tianyou answered them with his own practical actions.
In just one or three days, Yin Tianyou controlled the entire crew and controlled the entire right to speak.
Just one month. Yin Tianyou established absolute authority and prestige in the entire crew.
Three months later, he is already an irreplaceable director of the crew. It is a well-deserved spiritual pillar in everyone's minds.
……
More than half a year has passed since the special performance, and the super blockbuster "Touching the Golden Captain" directed by Yin Tianyou is still being filmed.
In order to shoot this drama well. The entire crew of more than 500 people continued to travel to various parts of the motherland, and finally went to the western prairie for filming.
The drama of "Touching the Golden Captain" in the prairie is now only missing the last explosion scene. For this reason, Yin Tianyou specially requested the local police to file a record, and even invited a medical team to strictly prevent accidents.
This is an extremely fierce explosion scene, because the explosion scene is selected in a hilly area with a radius of about ten miles, this scene Yin Tianyou specially asked the pyrotechnics department to spare no expense, and must make this scene perfect.
Standing on a hill adjacent to the explosion site, Yin Tianyou carefully watched one of the explosion scenes designed by the blaster and pyrotechnician. According to their design, the explosion occurred at the foot of the mountain, but Yin Tianyou did not want such an effect.
An explosion scene creates nothing more than a sense of intensity and visual impact. The effect of an area in a small area is definitely not as strong as the effect of exploding in an open field. However, after browsing the second design drawing, Yin Tianyou's frowning brows relaxed.
The second plan is indeed in line with the requirement of sparing no expense, and the explosion of the entire hill spreads from the center to the surrounding area and even the entire mountain, spewing flames and rolling boulders out of all sides. This is really a waste of money, except for some real explosion scenes, many places need to be done with special effects, but each frame is almost tens of thousands, roughly calculated. This explosion scene alone will probably cost millions.
Yin Tianyou hesitated for a moment, this design met his requirements, but he always felt that there was still something missing. He closed his eyes and thought for a moment, and in a flash of inspiration, he thought that he had already conceived the ending.
"The explosion blueprints are enough. But I wanted the flames and rocks to continue to erupt, the feeling of a volcanic eruption. Thinking of this, he thought that it would be better if the background was set off by sounds such as animals running and wailing: "Yes. You also need to contact the helicopter to shoot some scenes of animals running and chirping to cooperate! ”
The pyrotechnics and blasters couldn't help but feel emotional, if they were working with other directors. How can they be taken so seriously. Do it with Yin Tianyou, and they get a high salary. The status is also affirmed, which naturally wins the hearts of the big guys. Of course, you still need money to do this.
However, what everyone admires more is that Yin Tianyou is willing to spare a lot of money and shoot carefully, and he is unwilling to have this attitude with any flaws. In fact, not only them, but anyone who has worked with Yin Tianyou both appreciates and complains about Yin Tianyou.
It's like this explosion scene, if it is another action movie, or find a low hill and burn it alone; Either find a cheap special effects company and make a five-cent special effect. And in "Captain Touching Gold", the cost of the explosion scene alone is enough to make a medium-sized film, and no one else is willing to spend such money.
For them, it is not easy to prepare for this scene, and they need enough experience and calculation to be able to correctly judge how to achieve the effect that Yin Tianyou wants.
And for Wang Jie, who acts as a producer, this is not easy, he also needs to find a helicopter to drive away the cattle, sheep and other animals in the grassland, so as to shoot the wild air scene.
This is especially difficult for photographers and sound recorders, who not only have to make the most of natural light and sound, but also have to make judgments about the best shooting distance, distance and direction. This scene alone took three days to prepare for before it was ready.
It's just that the accident happened just before the shooting. Wang Jie hurried to Yin Tianyou with a look and said in a deep voice: "God, the local government is not allowed to bomb the mountain and shoot!" ”
Don't bomb the mountain to shoot? Yin Tianyou was stunned for a moment.
In fact, before filming, Yin Tianyou had already heard that this hill could be used as a waste mountain for explosive disposal, and even the government planned to redevelop this land into a tourist area, setting up inns, hotels and other tourist places. Now I have retreated again, I don't know why.
Of course, the reason given by the other side is also very simple, it is forbidden to destroy the environment and maintain ecological balance. So you can't blow up the mountain and shoot.
Rubbing his nose, Yin Tianyouxun organized the idea map in his mind, and quickly determined: "First of all, confirm whether this area belongs to the environmental protection area, secondly, find the person in charge of the local environmental department, and ask him to review the intensity of our upcoming shooting, and finally, prepare for the worst, if it really doesn't work, I will build a one-to-one artificial rockery by myself!" ”
What the? Building a rockery?
Everyone was stunned.
What's more, it's a real one-to-one model.
……
The next day, the last scene of the western grassland started filming, and the environmental department measured that the explosion scene did not have much impact on the surrounding environment, not to mention that Yin Tianyou promised to donate 3 million yuan after the filming of this drama to fund the ecological and environmental protection of this area.
At this moment, Kang Fei, who played the male lead, worriedly pulled the tightrope on his body and asked the action director's subordinates: "Is this okay, is it safe?" ”
"Don't worry, it's okay!" The guy glanced at the action director, and he thought that this guy was really weird, and it was not quite the same as the action director he had seen before.
Nonsense, you must know that this action director was invited by Yin Tianyou from Hong Kong at a great price, and it is said that he is the high foot of the action boss Sammo Hung.
Everyone was ready, Yin Tianyou picked up the telescope and glanced at the photographers on the other three hills, as well as the photographers at the foot of the mountain, and then poked his head out to look at the photographers hanging in the air, and made a gesture: "Are the departments ready?" ”
"The first set of cameras is ok...... The second group is ok......"
"The pyrotechnic group can ...... Recording group ok......"
Listening to the ok of various departments, the solemn color in Yin Tianyou's eyes gradually spread to his face, this shooting can definitely be called the most in the history of action movies. A total of 34 cameras were used to shoot from all angles. Not only did you have to shoot the explosion of the hill, but also the action of the male protagonist jumping downward, and the photographer who was hanging in the air to catch up with the photographer below, it was simply a fate.
According to preliminary estimates, this scene alone cost 8 million. Money doesn't matter, the point is that such an opportunity is rare if it is missed. And it takes a lot of time to prepare, so it's even less worth it, no wonder Yin Tianyou, a guy who has always been cheerful, has become so dignified. (To be continued.) )
