Chapter Seventy-Six: Super Dragon Set

Jokes are jokes, filming has to continue, and Liang Xiaolong has no bad taste for abusing beautiful women. However, this fight scene is really troublesome, Jessica is a girl, and she is not from a professional class, wielding a long stick, and often can't control the strength well, if you let her light, she will give people a feeling of softness; You let her focus a little, she is not a little heavy, anyway, Liang Xiaolong and Wu Jing did not suffer less from her stuffy stick, which made Liang Xiaolong depressed: "Jesse, I swear, I will never play against you in the future, it's too torturous." ”

Jessica smiled, "Captain, doesn't that poster of yours say that bad guys need education?" Liang Xiaolong said angrily: "Am I a bad person?" Besides, don't you Americans don't advocate corporal punishment? Jessica stood on five fingers and smiled, "I'm not a standard American, Miss Ben has five national ancestry." Liang Xiaolong said: "Yes, you inherited the arrogance of the Americans and the rampaging ...... of the Mexicans"

"Dare to insult my bloodline, I'm going to kill you." Liang Xiaolong hadn't finished speaking, Jessica had already picked up the stick, Liang Xiaolong hurriedly ran away, but the field was too small, so he could only move and dodge, and he still inevitably got knocked a few sticks, but he was glad that he said: "Jesse, the current strength is well controlled, it seems that you are not making progress today." Jessica paused and said with a smile, "Then I knocked a little heavier?" ”

After finishing the daytime shooting, Wu Jing and Jessica had to go to the rehearsal hall to rehearse the dance at night, and Liang Xiaolong also went to watch it together, which was the right to accept. Anne is worthy of being the first choreographer in Hollywood in her previous life, and now she has shown amazing choreographic ability, the edges and corners between kung fu and dance have been worn off by her, and every movement has a strong visual impact, but it will not give people the feeling that this is kung fu and dance, and the two are very perfectly integrated.

In addition, this is also the most distinctive dance that Liang Xiaolong has ever seen, all kinds of pictographic fists are integrated into the dance, like a hundred beasts dancing together, giving people a crazy feeling: "Annie, this dance is definitely a master's handiwork, but the music is not perfect, if it is accompanied by strong music and various beast roars, it will definitely make fans crazy." Anne smiled: "It's best if you are satisfied, it's not my job to be musical, it depends on how you arrange it later." Liang Xiaolong said: "I will never ruin your hard work because the soundtrack is not good, I will ask Carl to contact the top music producers in Hollywood." ”

The last scene begins, and filming such a dance is by no means just about pointing the camera at the stage, and when dancing, the expressions and movements of the characters must be given a lot of close-ups, and the inner world of the characters is accurately expressed through these close-ups. In addition, the performance must have an audience, so it is necessary to take into account a group of actors, and express the shock of this dance through the reactions of the actors.

Wu Jing appeared first, and it was also the most surnamed way of appearing, integrating the snake fist, his body meandered forward, like a spirit snake moving: "Stop, Wu Jing, your expression needs to be a little imaginative, just imagine, the spirit snake out of the hole must be looking for food, is the yearning for food, just like our human yearning for beautiful things." Danny, give him a three-second close-up and take a picture of his expression for me. ”

"No problem." Although there were five cameras on set to capture the footage in all directions, Danny methodically directed his lieutenants to make the shoot much smoother. When filming resumed, when Danny gave a close-up, Liang Xiaolong shouted again: "Wu Jing, now you have to act on stage instead of making a movie, so the taste of acting can be a little heavier." "That's how it is to shoot these shots, which is several times more tedious than filming the fight scenes. I did it all over again, Wu Jing's expression was in place, but when the last action was about to fly up like a poisonous snake, the action was not in place, and he didn't stand firm when he got up, so he had to start again.

"Looks like we're going to have to fight a long battle!" Liang Xiaolong couldn't help but smile bitterly, don't think about finishing this scene in three or four days. Danny proposed: "Xiaolong, in fact, let Wu Jing reshoot the last flying and standing up action, and I can edit it together in the later stage." Liang Xiaolong also thought that in this way, the difficulty of filming would be much reduced and it would save a lot of time, but Liang Xiaolong still shook his head: "Take your time, anyway, in the last scene, I'm not afraid to waste some more time." Moreover, if such a wonderful dance leaves too much editing taste, it is equivalent to wasting the hard work of Anne and everyone for nearly two months, and it will also be criticized by fans. ”

Gao Gang appeared first, and Anna followed, she used a tiger fist, like a tiger out of the gate, jumping up and down, majestic. Because of this dance, during the rehearsal, everyone called Jessica Tigress, but this tigress really has a bit of tiger charm. However, Liang Xiaolong always had a sense of fly in the ointment, so he asked the crew to stop first, thought carefully for a while, and suddenly called the makeup artist: "I want to give Jesse a little more wild surname, what can you do?" "On the set, the director is the sky, as long as the director makes a request, all departments must strictly implement it, even if the director only makes vague requirements, makeup artists must rely on their own imagination to meet the director's requirements.

The makeup artist thought for a while, took out a black makeup pen, and drew it on Jessica's face: "Jesse, I'm sorry, it was the captain who asked me to smear your face." It didn't take long for Jessica to look in the mirror, three whiskers on the left and right, and couldn't help but be annoyed: "Oh my God, I'm a tiger, not a cat." Seeing her annoyed look, Liang Xiaolong couldn't help laughing: "That's also a cat full of wild surnames, it's cool, and it needs this effect." ”

When filming resumed, Anna, who was out of the tiger, encountered a poisonous snake Gao Gang, and staged a wonderful battle between the tiger and the snake, resulting in the death of the snake and the injury of the tiger. The filming process was extremely cumbersome, and these few shots alone wasted a morning, and Liang Xiaolong's preliminary estimate estimated that it would take three or four days to complete this scene. And this also made Liang Xiaolong fully understand the difficulty of shooting dance films, of course, mainly because the difficulty of kung fu hip-hop dance is too great, and his requirements are too high, and in his previous life, Annie's filming of "Dance Out of My Life" was much smoother than him.

"Let's have lunch first, and then we will shoot again in an hour." Liang Xiaolong breathed a long sigh of relief, looked back, couldn't help but be stunned, rubbed his eyes again, and after making sure that he was not mistaken, his mouth immediately turned into an O-shape: "Brother Hua, when did you come?" Why don't you call me down. Liang Xiaolong knew that Andy was coming today, and asked the company to send a car to pick it up, but he never received a call, and he focused on shooting, so he didn't expect Andy to come.

Andy smiled: "I asked them not to call you, so as not to disturb your shooting." Liang Xiaolong said: "This is to let your fans know that I hung you on the set for most of the day, and it is estimated that they will kill me." Andy smiled: "This is the United States, I'm afraid that it will affect your filming, let your fans know, and beat me up." Liang Xiaolong said: "Yes, neither of us should compliment anyone, let's have lunch first." Liang Xiaolong asked the field staff to bring two burgers and Coke, and said with a wry smile: "This is the environment here in the United States, Brother Hua, you will order it and go to dinner in the evening." ”

"It's different there, I will take care of food when shooting, but the shooting environment here is really much better than in China." Andy pointed to those trick actors and said: "They are very dedicated and have good acting skills, which can never be found in China." "These actors are all recommended by the actors' union, and they all have certain acting abilities, and they may even hide future Oscar winners.

The Screen Actors Guild is an important part of Hollywood, and a large number of outstanding actors are sent to Hollywood every year, ensuring the long-term and sustainable development of Hollywood and avoiding the situation of lack of talent. In addition, in the actors' union, there are a large number of handsome guys, beauties, beasts, and dwarfs, even if you want to find Sister Furong and Sister Feng, you can catch a lot of them, or even more outstanding, which allows producers and directors to easily find excellent actors and ensure the quality of the film. The actors of the Screen Actors Guild generally have certain acting skills, and they are the most qualified tricks when they are not famous, which can improve the quality of the film in details, and their contribution to the film industry can be imagined.

In addition, Hollywood also has directors' unions, editors' unions, and photography unions...... These guilds send a large number of outstanding filmmakers to Hollywood every year, ensuring the prosperity of the film industry. However, such a prosperous scene can only be seen in Hollywood, because all of this requires a huge cash turnover. If you put it in China, it will definitely not work, in 96 years, the total box office in China is only a few billion yuan, and the total value is not comparable to the box office of two or three Hollywood blockbusters. Even in 2010, the total box office was close to 10 billion yuan, but Hollywood's "Avatar" swept up $2.7 billion at the global box office.

"That's why filmmakers all over the world want to go to Hollywood." Andy couldn't help but sigh, with the economic situation in 96 years, he starred in a film, and the salary would not exceed 10 million yuan, while in Hollywood, second-tier actors can get this amount. is like Wu Jing, his salary for "Black Fist" is 2.5 million US dollars, which is equivalent to 18 million yuan. And the first-line superstars are even more terrifying, like Julia, with a salary of 20 million US dollars, which is equivalent to 140 million yuan, you must know that before 96 years, there were no films with an investment of more than 100 million yuan in China.

Of course, this is also because Hollywood has developed movies into a complete industry chain, box office, CDs, pay TV, toys, soundtracks, and the Internet...... There is a huge income in every aspect, and while ensuring profits, filmmakers can earn enough money. And the country is too bad in this regard, the income of the movie basically only depends on the box office, but the movie theater is pitiful, Liang Xiaolong remembers a set of data in 2010, the average calculation, 100,000 people can share a screen, and that is still 2010,96? It can be said that if the domestic film industry cannot improve these, it will never be able to compete with Hollywood.

The two chatted vigorously, and an hour was about to pass soon, and Liang Xiaolong was about to shoot again, Andy suddenly proposed: "Captain, I also play the role of an extra, as my first experience in Hollywood." Liang Xiaolong glanced at him, and said angrily: "Come on, I dare to use you Liu Tianwang as a dragon trick, and if I return to China, I will definitely be hacked to death." ”
