Recently, I've been searching for some questions about shooting movies and a lot of props or something, so the update is a bit slow, and it's going to be recommended the day after tomorrow, so I have to prepare for the manuscript. Now each chapter is a large chapter, no less than 3,500 words. Everyone's support and support, vote for the recommendation, thank you,

The filming scene of the first scene is Cao Cao's request to Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty in the main hall of the Han Dynasty to abolish the three dukes and restore the prime minister system.

In this scene, Cao Cao and Emperor Han Xian appeared for the first time, and the most important thing was to create Cao Cao's domineering and arrogant character and Emperor Han Xian's cowardly personality who wanted to resist but was helpless.

But this is not necessary, Cao Cao will perform this paragraph in person, it will be a complete repetition of history! No acting required!

The preparation of the crew was carried out in an orderly manner, in the main hall, the photography staff of the crew was hurrying to adjust the camera equipment, and Cao Cao and the assistant director Lin Jiefei were discussing the relevant lighting and photography arrangements. Lin Jie was one of Cao Cao's favorites recently, so he invited him to be an assistant director.

In the make-up dressing room next to the main hall, several makeup artists and costumers skillfully put on makeup for the actors and guide everyone to dress.

These clothes are all specially customized according to the costumes of the Han Dynasty, not only ordinary court clothes and civilian costumes, many props in "Red Cliff" are specially designed and customized by Cao Cao according to the system, such as weapons, armor, warships, etc., and as early as when the filming was just announced, he spent 20 million at once to make props and arrange related scenes.

When the actor came out with makeup and dressing, Cao Cao hurriedly stopped Cao Cao and Liu Ye to talk about the play, Liu Ye played the role of Emperor Han Xian, originally because Emperor Han Xian only had a few shots in total, he was going to find a rookie actor, but then Cao Cao accidentally discovered that this third-rate actor looked exactly like the characters in the system, so he naturally gave him the role.

"Liu Ye, the Emperor Han Xian you play is a cowardly person who is submissive, when you speak under Cao Cao's reprimand, you must have a trembling feeling, and when the minister comes out to refute Cao Cao, at that moment, you show joy and excitement, but remember that although you are happy and excited at this time, the range of action must be small, not obvious, and at the same time, when Cao Cao looks at you, you have to immediately return to the original cowardly state, wait and do what I say, can you?" Cao Cao said as he demonstrated the action.

"Well, no problem." Liu Ye nodded.

"Mengde." You just need to behave naturally.

"When I read the script before, I had already figured out the script, so you can rest assured." Meng De had confidence on his face.

"Okay, you guys read the script first, memorize the lines, and the filming will officially start in ten minutes." Cao Cao then explained the relevant matters with other participating role actors and extras.

When he was almost done, Cao Cao inspected the scenery in the palace and the preparation of the staff, confirmed that there were no mistakes, and Lin Jie looked at him, then returned to the monitor screen, looked at his watch and waited, and soon, a clear voice resounded on the set: "Attention to all departments, attention to everyone, all in place, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1." As he said this, he waved his hand vigorously and shouted, "action!" ”

Monitor screen, Emperor Han Xian played by Liu Ye is bored listening to the ministers in the hall, and then the camera lens suddenly switches to the palace gate, Cao Cao walked in from the palace gate, and came to the front of the ministers without stopping, the camera, Emperor Han Xian's expression moved slightly, and his body involuntarily sat up straight, Cao Cao was facing Emperor Han Xian, slightly arched his hand, and his mouth vibrated with words, after Cao Cao finished speaking, Emperor Han Xian's mouth opened slightly and said.

When the camera lens was about to switch to Cao Cao's face again, Cao Cao hurriedly shouted: "Stop, Liu Ye, you should have a feeling of unconsciously trembling and being scared when you speak, instead of speaking in a low voice like now, pay attention to the trembling and fear in your heart, not the low volume of your mouth or stammering, you can imagine that your father is very strict and domineering, in order to please him, you are forced to agree with the feeling of his speech, think about it, brew a good mood, let's shoot again, okay!" ”

"Okay, then Mengde, you start with the last two sentences, prepare, action!"

The moment he shouted, Meng De's emotions immediately activated, his eyes looked at Liu Ye as if he was talking, driven by his emotions, Liu Ye finally showed Cao Cao's needs naturally, especially when he spoke, the subtle changes in his facial expressions can be described as extremely expressive,

"Okay, good, that's it, cut, everybody will take a break, and we'll take a set of shots." Cao Cao shouted with satisfaction.

After resting for almost a while, Cao Cao looked around with his eyes and shouted loudly: "All departments are ready, shoot the next shot immediately, and the relevant actors are in place, are you ready?" Okay, action! ”

The second scene is Cao Cao's proposal to abolish the three dukes and restore the prime minister system, but a minister came out to obstruct him and was beheaded by Cao Cao on the spot.

This set of shots undoubtedly shows Cao Cao's power and decisiveness, while the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty and the powerless Emperor Xian of Han show that the Han rule has died.

Because Meng De and Liu Ye are in quite good condition, the next shooting is getting smoother and smoother, all the shots of the first scene have been filmed before noon, and Cao Cao has also suspended filming and has a lunch break of an hour and a half, but for actors who have filming in the afternoon, they generally need to start preparing half an hour in advance, including makeup, costumes, and memorizing lines.

After filming Liu Ye's scenes, Cao Cao gathered the rest of the indoor scenes to shoot, some of which were from the palace, some of which were from various courtyards or study rooms, and the only exception was Xiao Qiao's scene played by Zhang Xiaoyu, Cao Cao decisively arranged it to be filmed when the camera was turned off at the end.

Xiao Qiao's role is linked to Zhou Yu played by Cao Cao, and there are fewer actors involved, so the transition is basically a matter of the crew's own staff, and it is not troublesome, it can give Zhang Xiaoyu more training and let her have a better performance, and a transition is naturally nothing.

After getting along for a period of time, Cao Cao and these third-rate stars have also become acquainted, especially Liu Ye and Zhang Xiaoyu, which Cao Cao admires very much.

The actors are excellent, and it is naturally easy to shoot, and in just half a month, Cao Cao finished filming the indoor scenes, and then the crew moved to the location base where the corresponding scenes had already been built.

In the location base, Cao Cao first filmed the part of the corresponding war scene, which involved few actors, mainly relying on the acting skills of the main actors, and it was relatively easy to shoot.

With the hard work of a group of actors, the progress of the play is advancing rapidly, and after the filming part of the play is completed, Cao Cao immediately started the war scene that he is best at and most looking forward to.

At this time, after a long time of preparation, Lin Jie finally assembled his favorite cast, and the vast majority of its actors were just unknown supporting roles or actors.

"Lin Jie, have the extras already changed their armor?" Cao Cao asked Lin Jie beside him while checking the layout of the scene.

"The armor has been put on, and I am receiving the weapon props, and it will be almost there in ten minutes." Speaking of this, Lin Jie's voice was a little excited: "Seriously, Brother Cao, your design is amazing, every time I see these armors, I feel enthusiastic, they don't look like filming props at first glance, if the materials use real armor materials, saying that they are ancient army armor, it is estimated that no one will not believe it, especially the appearance of thousands of people standing together in such armor, it is really shocking." ”

Cao Cao smiled, of course this is real army armor, and it is the armor of the real Three Kingdoms period.

The biggest special reading of this set of armor is that it is close to the style of ancient armor of the country, and it is very suitable for Cao Jun's powerful and domineering image, and it is relatively easy to make, which is definitely the most suitable choice for him at this stage, after all, he is filming "Red Cliff", which is a historical movie, not a fantasy movie.

In addition to Cao's army, the armor of the Jingzhou army, Jiangdong army, and Liu Bei's army was almost all selected under the system according to this principle. It's just that when choosing, it was finally decided according to their special reading temperament, Cao Jun was domineering, Jingzhou was fancy, Jiangdong Yingwu, and Liu Bei's army was concise, each with its own characteristics.

Of course, although it is close to the style of ancient armor, it does not mean that these armors are not powerful and exquisite, the cost of each set of these armors is as high as 800 yuan, which is equivalent to a month or half a month's salary of ordinary wage earners, and the armor and weapons and clothing alone have smashed nearly 5 million, and it took two months before and after to finally complete.

What is wealthy, this is, a very stark contrast is Chen Kaige's "Wuji" It is said that more than 2 million items such as armor and costumes were spent, and the two are almost not at the same level, can such a large investment not be exquisite?

"Now it's just wearing armor, and when they take their weapons, stand in battle columns, beat war drums, and thousands of people shout "kill" in unison, you will know what shock is. ”

The most exciting scene in "Red Cliff" is undoubtedly the battlefield battle and the burning of Red Cliff, and the scene filmed today is the military appearance scene of Sun Cao Liu's army on the battlefield.

For this scene, Cao Cao took great pains, and found 2,500 group performances alone, and recruited them a month in advance, almost sweeping away the male extras in Hengdian Film and Television City.

"Is the helicopter arranged?"

"It's been arranged, not to mention that the action of this large-scale special effects company that set sail is very skillful, and the operation of aerial photography is very skillful, but is it too wasteful for us to use helicopter aerial photography for filming, we can make the lifting platform of the camera high, and then push it from a distance to shoot the battle formation you said, or we can learn Hollywood to use remote-controlled helicopters to shoot with special cameras." Lin Jie frowned.

"Of course I will use what you said, Lao Liu has already arranged the camera position and track just now, but although this kind of lens can shoot the actor's position and facial expression, it is far less shocking than the aerial photography to see the whole scene at a glance, I will first use aerial photography to shoot the panorama overhead, and incorporate the entire war scene into the lens, and then use the push and pull method to push the camera over, and give a close-up and close-up of the actor's expression, so that the effect will come out completely, so we must not save this money, if it is not for the shooting time is too tightThere is no time to register and apply for three aircraft certificates, so it is more convenient for us to buy a helicopter ourselves. Cao Cao said as he walked.

Lin Jie's eyes lit up: "This is a good idea, the average helicopter can be taken down for a few million, anyway, we now produce a lot of film and television dramas a year, and with our own helicopter, we can shoot as much as we want, and it can also be used as a means of transportation in case of emergency." ”

"Then after the movie is filmed and I return to Kyoto, I will have a meeting with Ding Zhi and Xiao Ran to discuss, and we will go to see the makeup and dressing of the actors." Cao Cao looked at the well-arranged scene with satisfaction and said.

"Cao Cao, you're here." Xiang Yu, who was wearing the armor of General Cao Jun and holding a simple sword, waved his hand happily when he saw Cao Cao coming.

"Brother Yu, this armor is very suitable for you, and when worn on you, it has the style of a general who fought on the battlefield in ancient times." Cao Cao praised that Xiang Yu himself was an ancient general, so wearing it was a real version of the general!

"The main thing is that your armor is mighty, Cao Cao, when the filming is over, can this armor and this sword be given to me?" Xiang Yu asked lovingly, stroking the armor on his body.

"The filming is over, and the armor is broken, are you going to take a pair of tattered armor home? Don't worry, I'll ask the props team to make an extra set of this style of armor. Cao Cao said funny.

"Sure enough, it's enough brothers." Xiang Yu patted Lin Yuquan's shoulder heavily.

"It's okay, it's all trivial......" Cao Cao said lightly.

"Interesting!." Xiang Yu patted Cao Cao on the shoulder.
