Chapter 326: Let's change the stand-in

In mid-October, Zhang Yi took a group of people to the mainland to start filming "Mulan".

This time, the crew went straight to the west. Ann went and did not go north again. Take a walk around Beijing.

Many people are visiting the West for the first time. An, there is still an extremely high interest in the Terracotta Warriors, especially after Zhang Yi's "Myth", the interest in the Terracotta Warriors and Horses has been raised to an extreme.

This time I finally got to the west. Ann naturally won't miss it.

Zhang Yi made movies, whether it was for the crew or the actors, he was extremely lenient. So, to the west. After Ann, the crew was directly given two days off.

The cinema invested by Zhang Yi is now basically completed, and there are also many crew members and tourists in it. Not much, though. Zhang Yi was naturally not very satisfied. Therefore, he planned to implant the cinema advertisement in the film.

This time, Zhang Yi is still looking for Zhang Yimou, after all, he has unique ideas for shooting war scenes, not to mention, but also experience.

Regarding Zhang Yi's invitation, Zhang Yi naturally would not refuse. Not to mention, it was Zhang Yi who supported him to become a director, and he became famous in one fell swoop, which can be regarded as a favor to him.

Even if there is no such relationship, it is impossible for Zhang Yimou, who has been promoted to director, to refuse Zhang Yi's invitation.

Zhang Yi now, not to mention his relationship in the mainland, makes people like Zhang Yi jealous of filmmakers, it is the movie itself, Zhang Yi represents the peak level of the Chinese.

Among the directors at the top level of the world, there is definitely a place for Zhang Yi. Moreover, among that group of people, Zhang Yi is definitely the only Chinese.

Zhang Yi is well-known in the international film industry, and his achievements are enough to make many people ashamed. As for the success of "Jurassic Park", Zhang Yi has been called the world's top commercial director by many scene media.

For Westerners, what is certain may only be Zhang Yi's achievements at the box office. But for the Chinese, he is still the first and the only Chinese to win an Oscar.

"This time, in addition to being in charge of the camera, you will also be my deputy." Zhang Yi said to Zhang Yi. "I'm going to invest in a couple of ancient films. This studio needs a few films to promote it. ”

When Zhang Yi heard this, he glanced at Zhang Yi with some surprise. He naturally heard the meaning of Zhang Yi's words. The films that I invested in and shot were because I wanted to be a director.

Although Zhang Yi has become famous in one fell swoop after filming "Red Sorghum". However, there are only a limited number of films that can be made, and even if there are films, it is estimated that there is not enough money in terms of funds.

But the movies invested by Zhang Yi have always been well-funded.

"How many films does Mr. Zhang plan to invest in, and he intends to use the architecture of this studio as the background?" Zhang Yi looked around and then asked.

"Pushing this studio out is just one of the goals. The most important thing is that there are too many stories to bring to the screen. Zhang Yi smiled. Said.

"China has thousands of years of history, and there are indeed many characters, and the events are worth filming." Zhang Yi nodded, and then asked, "Mr. Zhang's "Mulan" is a good theme. I don't know, which of Mr. Zhang's films are you going to shoot and what period are you going to shoot? ”

"Hehe, Three Kingdoms, Sui and Tang, etc. In the era of these heroes, it can be filmed as a series! Zhang Yi smiled and said, "For example, Sui Tang." Qin Qiong can, Li Jing can, and Cheng Biting Jin can too. A film has a character as the main line, and they can also be interspersed with each other. ”

Zhang Yi was a little surprised when he heard this. Because once this is filmed, it is definitely a huge movie series. The actors involved are too numerous to count.

"It's just a thought of mine. But it will definitely come true one by one. Doesn't the West worship heroes, then let them worship our ancient Chinese heroes. Zhang Yi said with a smile. But there was a confident domineering in his tone.

There are not many scenes in the studio. This is Zhang Yi deliberately added a role, and also took the opportunity to borrow a helicopter to let Zhang Yi take a full picture of the entire cinema. Of course, when taken from a high altitude, those buildings with some obvious characteristics of the era are not so conspicuous.

The most difficult thing to shoot "Mulan" is naturally the war scene.

After the edification of "Myth", Zhang Yi's ability to control war scenes has improved a lot, but this time Zhang Yi made the war scenes bigger.

Foot battles, station battles, cavalry battles, formation battles. Of course, there were a lot fewer scenes in the chariot battle, after all, there were many fewer chariots used on the battlefield at that time.

But there were a lot more cavalry battles.

Although Zhang Yi's ability to control war scenes has improved a lot, when filming, it is much slower than "Myth". After all, Lin Qingxia is not Li Lianjie, she is a girl herself, whether she has kung fu or not, many actions are difficult to achieve results.

What's more, she didn't have any relevant training before this.

"Mr. Zhang, use a stand-in." Yuan Kui shook his head and said to Zhang Yi, "Riding a horse is easy to learn, but it is difficult to master it in a short period of time. Miss Lin had never ridden a horse before, and it was already difficult for her to make movements on the horse. If you shoot a fight scene again, it will be difficult to achieve the effect. ”

In this action design, Zhang Yi naturally invited Yuan Kui and Yuan De, two brothers. The two are the action designers of "Mythology", and they have experience in fighting on the battlefield for ancient times.

This time, whether it was the fight on the battlefield or the war scenes, the two of them put a lot of thought into it. Especially in the cavalry battle, there are many scenes.

"Mythology" Because of historical reasons, there are not many horse battles, and most of them are long swords. And "Mulan" is different, when the horse fights, there are many kinds of weapons. I didn't do it all, but I used a lot.

Like Mulan, she uses a spear. Lin Qingxia's physical condition is not bad, after all, she has filmed a lot of martial arts movies and action movies. But "Mulan" pays attention to actual combat and the authenticity of fighting. This is inevitably a little difficult for Lin Qingxia.

Lin Qingxia suffered a lot and worked hard. But after all, she is a girl, and her body will soon be overwhelmed. And because of the environment, people are already on the verge of collapse. Although she has been gritting her teeth and persevering, many movements have become more and more difficult for her.

Especially the main event, fighting right away, has great risks.

Zhang Yi was thinking about what Yuan Kui said. Although finding a stand-in will inevitably affect the quality of the film.

Stand-ins, lens cutting, and shooting techniques are not visible to the general audience at all, but they can't escape some professional or senior fans. Moreover, it is inevitable that the shooting will also be affected.

However, there is clearly no way around it.

Zhang Yi was about to nod, but he didn't want to exclaim not far away, and a horse seemed to be frightened and rushed to the side. And immediately there were people, who were now clutching the reins, pale and frightened.

And that person is none other than that. It is Lin Qingxia who plays Mulan.

In the direction where the horse was rushing, there was a group of extras sitting on the ground and resting, when I heard the exclamation, I found that there was a horse rushing over, hurriedly getting up and dodging, but there were still many people who were too late.

Yuan Kui was shocked when he saw this, and when filming "Myth", this situation did not occur. Almost all of the horsemen who filmed the riding scenes were the wrong cavalry, and their horse control skills were extremely high.

Just when Yuan Kui was shocked and a little at a loss, Zhang Yi beside him flashed out, leaving a figure behind.

Zhang Yi rushed over and immediately blocked in front of those extras, and the head of the rushing horse was dark. The horse's momentum was extremely strong, and it was suddenly overturned and smashed down by Zhang Yi's darkness. And Lin Qingxia, who was on the horse, was immediately swept away.

"Ahh Lin Qingxia couldn't help but exclaim.

As soon as the exclamation sounded, the horse overturned, Zhang Yi immediately caught the horse's back, then threw it forward, then turned around and jumped out, catching Lin Qingxia who fell from the sky.

"It's okay!" Zhang Yi put Lin Qingxia on the ground and asked.

That Lin Qingxia squinted her eyes at this time, still exclaiming, suddenly heard Zhang Yi's voice, suddenly opened her eyes, and saw that she was already standing firmly on the ground, the voice of exclamation stopped abruptly, her mouth opened wide, looking at Zhang Yi, the horror in her eyes had not yet receded, there were more doubts, and there were palpitations in her heart.

Time is only a flash, and many people have not yet reacted, and the matter is over. The horse that was thrown out by Zhang Yi did not fall to the ground on all fours, half dead. And the extremely stable four feet landed, and then snorted, shook his head, looked around, and seemed to have some doubts.

Everyone came to their senses, there was no cheering, and the whole scene became silent, everyone looked at Zhang Yi and Lin Qingxia, and then looked at the horse that had nothing to do.

It seems that it is impossible to do without a stand-in.

Zhang Yi sighed and thought. (To be continued......)
