Chapter Seventy-Three: Unconventional Shooting

Getting Feng Xiaogang's phone, Cheng Peng thought for a moment, thought of the wording, and dialed Feng Xiaogang's phone.

"Hey, Director Feng? I'm Cheng Peng, from the crew of "Dark Invasion". Cheng Peng put his posture very low, after all, he has to ask for others now.

Feng Xiao knew what was going on as soon as he heard Cheng Peng, and sighed and said, "There are some problems on our side, and Binbin's play must be advanced!" ”

Cheng Peng frowned and said, "Can you coordinate the schedule, you push Binbin's scene back a little, our side will focus on filming her scene first, we will work overtime to shoot, we will definitely be able to finish filming in seven or eight days, do you think it's okay?" ”

Feng Xiaogang's tone was a little helpless: "No, Liu Dehua's schedule is a bit problematic, we must arrange his scene first, others can only cooperate, and Binbin's scene must be filmed immediately." ”

"Then let's do it, you concentrate on filming her first, and after her filming, come to us to film, what do you think?"

"Yes, but I guess I'll have to wait a month and a half!"

Cheng Peng thought that there was a problem with the schedule, but when he heard this, he knew that the other party was deliberately embarrassing himself, Li Binbin did not have many scenes in "No Thieves in the World", and he could definitely finish filming in half a month, but it was impossible to shoot for a month and a half.

Cheng Pengdi's voice was a little cold: "Director Feng, is there really no room for negotiation at all?" ”

Feng Xiaogang laughed and said, "Xiaopeng, don't be angry, I can't help it." Although Binbin is the second female lead, her role is similar to that of the heroine, and there are many action scenes, which takes a lot of time, I invested tens of millions in this movie, and I can't afford to delay! ”

You lie to the ghost, do you think Lao Tzu hasn't watched "No Thieves in the World"? No, Cheng Peng didn't have a seizure, there was no point in arguing at this time, he groaned for a while, and said: "That's it, Director Feng, give me two more days, I'll let Bin Bin go over after two days, and wait for you to finish filming, let her come back to film, what do you think?" ”

Feng Xiaogang smiled: "Two days, no problem, but I only give you two days, two days later, Binbin must come to us to report!" ”

After hanging up the phone, Cheng Peng couldn't help sneering in his heart, Li Bingbing's scenes are filmed intensively, even if it takes seven or eight days to shoot overtime, others may not have a way, but he knows that an unconventional shooting technique can complete the shooting.

Cheng Peng turned his head and saw that Li Binbin was still standing in place, looking at himself nervously, and asked with a smile: "Binbin, Director Feng doesn't want me to enter the New Year stall, right?" ”

Li Binbin was taken aback, then shook his head and said, "Director, I don't know." ”

Although the light in Li Binbin's eyes flashed, he didn't hide Cheng Peng's eyes, and said with a smile: "Binbin, I know he doesn't want me to enter the New Year's stall, but although Feng Xiaogang's mouth stinks, it's not so yin, what's going on?" ”

Li Binbin smiled bitterly: "Director, I really don't know. ”

Cheng Peng stared at Li Binbin, and said with a smile: "Your sister is the boss of Huayi's largest studio, it is impossible for her not to know this kind of thing, and it is impossible for you not to know." Binbin, I don't want to target anyone, I just want to know what's going on, tell me! ”

The tone of his words was very peaceful, but there was a faint threat, Li Binbin hesitated for a moment, and said: "I don't know the specifics, but I heard my sister say that it was the suggestion of an investor in the crew, that is, she wants to squeeze "Dark Invasion" out of the New Year file, and if it involves compensation, that person is responsible." ”

Many of Huayi's movies have other investors involved, so that they can share the risk, which is normal, but Cheng Peng feels that this investor's behavior is a bit illogical: "Who is it?" ”

"I don't know, it looks like a woman!"

Cheng Peng was stunned for a moment, and understood what was going on, this incident, as well as the previous theft of the mask, it is estimated that the woman did it, it is really ghostly, but let's see, since you dare to come to the circle of movies, then you will die!

In the past two years, because of the great success of "Hero", it has attracted countless hot money into this circle, and there are people who make money, but there are countless people who have died in this circle, and this is a place where you can bury people by digging a pit.

Cheng Peng smiled at Li Binbin and said: "I just won two days of filming time from Director Feng Xiaogang, and I will focus on filming your scenes in these two days, which may be a bit hard!" ”

"It's okay, director, as long as I can complete the shooting, I'm not afraid of how hard it is!" Li Binbin is one of the relatively poor talents in Sidan Shuangbing, and she is not particularly beautiful, she can stand out in this circle, and what she has obtained is diligence and hard work.

"Okay, then you go back and rest early!"

This matter is quite troublesome, and a lot of work has to be adjusted, so Cheng Peng gathered the main creators of the crew for discussion.

Cheng Peng briefly explained the reason for the matter: "This year, Huayi has two big productions "No Thieves in the World" and "Kung Fu", Huayi was originally preparing to dominate the entire Chinese New Year file, and our movies are also preparing to enter this schedule, which will inevitably have some impact on these two movies. Feng Xiaogang's purpose is to delay the progress of our filming, if Li Bingbing will not be able to shoot the later scenes until a month and a half, then our film will not be completed until late July, plus two months later, it will be October, and the publicity is too late at all, so we have to withdraw from the Chinese New Year file and move to other schedules. ”

The Chinese New Year file is the best schedule of the year, and the movies with the highest box office every year are basically out of this schedule, and grabbing this schedule is equivalent to getting the biggest box office cake, and this schedule is the most fiercely contested every year.

Zhao Linlin frowned and said: "Now that the film is halfway through, it is impossible for us to change the actors, and there is no point in suing them, things are a bit troublesome!" ”

Zhang Meng is more open: "Actually, it doesn't matter if you enter the Lunar New Year stalls or not, although other schedules are not as good as the Lunar New Year stalls, there are not so many strong films, and our box office may be better!" ”

Cheng Peng said: "I don't want to quit just like that, the most important thing is that I can't go to Venice to sell films at this pace." ”

"But there's no other way now!"

Cheng Peng's gaze swept over everyone's faces, then he took a breath and said in a calm tone: "I have an idea, maybe you will think I'm crazy, I'm going to make a mold for Li Binbin, and let others wear Li Binbin's hood to complete the rest of the performance for her!" ”

Everyone present gasped, the sky and the earth, this idea is indeed crazy, even Lian Kai, the special effects makeup artist, was stunned.

Chen Shaoping first objected: "Although the mask works well, it is still different from the real person, if it is elderly makeup, everyone doesn't know what the actor looks like when he is old, and he can't see it without comparison, but the audience is too familiar with Li Binbin, and he can definitely see it!" ”

Wang Qinian also said: "Yes, the expression of wearing a mask is not very natural, and the eyes and eyes of the characters are also different, which cannot be replaced by masks."

Cheng Peng said with a smile: "Close-up shots and close-ups are really not good, eyes and eyes are very problematic, but we can use these two days to focus on shooting Li Binbin's close-up shots and close-ups, and the other shots are all played by stand-ins wearing masks!" ”

Hearing Cheng Peng say this, Lian Kai's eyes suddenly lit up: "If there are no close-ups and close-up shots, there are dangerous actions in some Hollywood movies, in order to ensure the safety of the actors, the stand-ins will be used, and the stand-ins will wear the actor's hood during the performance, and when the movie is released, the audience can't see that the stand-in is performing." ”

Zhang Meng was still a little worried: "Can it really work?" ”

Lian Kai knew that this method sounded incredible, but in fact it was not big: "In our movie, the light is relatively dark, the characters are blurry, and the face is dirty, as long as it is not a close-up and special effects, it will definitely not be a goof." ”

Seeing that Lian Kai was so sure, Zhang Meng nodded and said, "Since you don't know how to wear goofs, then shoot according to this method!" ”

Cheng Peng glanced at Lian Kai and asked, "It takes a month to make a monster's mask, and the time is mainly spent on sculpture, and the other steps don't take much time, and they can be completed in a few days, right?" ”

Lian Kai replied: "It takes ** days to make a mask, and then you have to plant hair on your scalp, and you also need to do a hairstyle, which adds up to about ten days." ”

After ten days, there is no big problem, Cheng Peng stood up and began to arrange the work: "That's it, now our shooting plan needs to be fully adjusted, tomorrow morning to shoot other people's scenes, Li Binbin and Lian Kai will do the reverse mold, and in the afternoon, we will focus on filming Li Binbin's scenes." The production team, you have selected all the close-ups and close-up shots of Lee Binbin, and we will focus on shooting! ”

The next morning, Li Binbin went to do the molding, and when he came back in the afternoon, the crew began to shoot wildly.

From 2 p.m. to 12 a.m. the next day, 34 hours, except for the four hours spent eating, the rest of the time has been non-stop shooting.

Thirty hours, it sounds like you can shoot a lot of shots, but in fact, each shot sets up the machine, selects the camera position, and the actor moves to the actual shooting, plus the time for the actor NG to start over, it takes more than an hour for a shot, and less than thirty shots are actually completed.

After 30 hours of high-intensity shooting, everyone in the crew was tired and paralyzed, but Li Binbin's close-up shots and close-ups were finally finished.

Although Li Binbin was too tired, he still assured Cheng Peng: "Director, I will finish the scene of "No Thieves in the World" as soon as possible, and then rush over. ”

Cheng Peng sat down on the chair and said weakly: "No need, I made a mold for you yesterday, and someone else will wear your human skin mask to play for you!" Please tell Director Feng Xiaogang, we'll see you in the New Year! ”

Hearing this, Li Bingbing fell into a state of stupor, and the others put on my human skin mask to play for me, can this work, how does it sound like a plot in a martial arts novel?
