Chapter 18 Little Assistant Director|
The morning sun lazily climbed over the mountain, and the white and smooth skin was smooth; Warmly shining on this quiet land, the clouds on the horizon floated by, as if following the footsteps of their companions.
The preliminary work of "Food Truck" has been prepared, and Sammo Hung informed Li Yihua to come to the crew tomorrow to participate in the worship ceremony.
The assistant director looks like the director's deputy, but the power and responsibility are very great, it is simply a bridge, not only to cooperate with the director to direct the film, but also to negotiate with the investor, but also to communicate with the actors below, it is simply a combination of the director and the scene, it is a very heavy job, and it has to be unknown.
When the film is not done well, the assistant director is the director's punching bag, and after the filming, it is the director who finally becomes famous, and the behind-the-scenes workers can only hide behind the scenes.
After Hong Jinbao took the crew to start the film and worship God, he took the crew of "Food Truck" to feel Spain and immediately put it into filming.
Even if Li Yihua was born as a director in later generations, he has been a scene reporter for more than ten years, but in the face of the rapid filming progress in Hong Kong, he has been very busy in the past few days.
Li Yihua, who now goes in and out of the set every day, must have three treasures: a slate board, a slate sheet, and a script. The clapperboard is part of the director's department, and although it is not paid and has a lot of work, it is the most rewarding position in the crew. In one scene, when the familiar "action" is shouted on the spot and the clapper is struck, the camera starts running at the same time, which is called "slapping" or "clapping". The specific information such as camera position and scene sequence number recorded on the slate board is to facilitate the search and correspondence during post-editing, so as to avoid confusion in the order of the scene.
"Andy, show me today's attendance list." During the break, Hong Jinbao leaned back in a chair wearing sunglasses and said.
Li Yihua is enjoying his busy state now, and Li Yihua experienced that kind of nervous happiness on the set, it seems that he was born to belong to movies.
After a while, Li Yihua handed the scene note to Hong Jinbao: "It's very good, one of them needs to be retaken, make a note of this one, and reshoot it in the afternoon." ”
"Andy, what's the difference, why do I feel so unsmooth?" Hong Jinbao looked at the camera in front of him and frowned.
Li Yihua watched the shooting camera from the side: Jackie Chan and Yuan Biao run a fast food business in the square, and the hippie played by Xiao Hei Ge Ke Shouliang brought a ruffian to drag the car here to disturb the people. The brothers taught him, stepped forward and kicked the two of them with bows left and right (the yellow-shirted man on the right side of the screen was substituted by Qian Jiale). Set over the little black. Jackie Chan kicked down the man in the yellow shirt with a long stride, and kicked the neck of the stand-in Qian Jiale directly and head-on, and the two cooperated very well, Li Yihua knew very well the danger of this action, and it was really dangerous to miss this kind of contact with the key point of the real fight).
Li Yihua pondered for a while, feeling as if the film was missing something, what was missing? Li Yihua looked up at the flying eagle and observed that every time it flew, its wings were very vigorous and powerful.
Li Yihua's brain suddenly flashed, there is no problem with the plot, what is missing is a sense of power, yes, a sense of power.
"Brother Hong, don't you feel that their movements are very powerful, but they look weak and lack a sense of strength?" Li Yihua looked at the puzzled Hong Jinbao and reminded him.
"Yes, yes, yes, what is missing is a sense of power." Hong Jinbao suddenly realized. "So how do you fix it?" Hong Jinbao was once again in doubt.
"You can use power-powder, the full name in English is power-powder." Li Yihua smiled and explained: "Power powder, just like the familiar Viva, trampoline, and tomato juice, are all auxiliary props, and the main role of power powder is to highlight the hitting strength and make the action more visual. ”
"What kind of fan do you mean will make the audience look powerful?" Hong Jinbao asked uncertainly.
Li Yihua nodded and said: "Like, this kind of gadget is very practical, even if an actor who doesn't know martial arts uses it and throws a punch or kick, it will make people feel very powerful!" It is the first choice for rendering the atmosphere of real fighting. ”
"Sounds great, we can take advantage of it." Hong Jinbao was a little nervous by him, in fact, since the beginning of filming, Li Yihua has put forward a lot of opinions on construction.
Li Yihua asked the prop master to buy a box of talcum powder, Li Yihua smeared a layer on his cuffs, and then made a punching action, and it was dusty in an instant.
"The camera is very strong, and it can emit so much power with very little effort." Hong Jinbao's eyes widened in surprise.
"Not only that, but it has other uses." Li Yihua smiled lightly.
The three Jackie Chan brothers rubbed their hands and said impatiently: "Hurry up and say it, I want to know what magical effect it has!" ”
Li Yihua bent down and grabbed a handful of power powder and beckoned to Hong Jinbao: "Brother Hong, come here." Hong Jinbao touched the back of his head and walked over, "What are you doing?" Li Yihua ignored Hong Jinbao and continued to sprinkle some on his arms and chest.
"That's it!" Li Yihua clapped his palms and hooked his hand to Sammo Hung hook, "Put on a defensive posture, raise the arm that sprinkles the powder, wait a minute, I'm going to kick your head with a high hook kick, you raise that arm to defend, and then I will take the opportunity to kick your chest." ”
Hung Jinbao nodded, only to see Li Yihua's right foot quickly raised, everyone felt a gust of wind blowing on their faces, and the next moment, Li Yihua's right foot had reached Sammo Hung's arm.
"It's too fast!" Sammo Hung blinked and muttered, with a "pop" sound, Sammo Hung blocked Li Yihua's hook kick, and saw bursts of white dust at the intersection of his fists and feet, and then Li Yihua's hook kick turned into a positive kick, and accurately kicked on Sammo Hung's chest, and there was another burst of white dust.
Jackie Chan said to Yuan Biao: "I didn't expect Andy's kung fu to be so good, I'm ashamed." ”
Hong Jinbao was overjoyed and said, "It's really magical, with this baby, it saves a lot of effort in shooting!" ”
When everyone heard Sammo Hung muttering, no one thought that Sammo Hung had a soft spot for this gadget, and they couldn't help laughing, especially Jackie Chan and Yuan Biao laughed the loudest.
Hong Jinbao touched his chin, remembering that he was injured in the past for filming, and his expression was overwhelmed with emotion, "Andy, I didn't expect you to solve a big problem for me again, I don't have to worry about getting hurt, and I can realize a real fight scene." ”
Li Yihua understands why Sammo Hung is so happy, in order to make a film, there are countless members of the Hong family class who are injured every year, and with this gadget, a lot of damage can be reduced!!
