351: It's a game of death

It's another year in the blink of an eye, and this year's Spring Festival Gala, Wang Luo is still on Huhai Satellite TV.

And Wang Luo's original intention was to participate in CCTV's Spring Festival Gala, after all, the two programs do not belong to the same level.

And Wang Luo also cooperated with CCTV, but I don't know what the reason was that CCTV did not invite Wang Luo.

Unlike last year, Wang Luo only sang one song in this year's Spring Festival Gala, and then left Changsha in a hurry and drove back to his hometown overnight for the New Year.

At about four or five o'clock in the morning, Wang Luo rushed back home.

After visiting relatives and friends, Wang Luo returned to Tianjing on the tenth day of the first month. Then I visited Jiang Wei and others, and the time blinked to the sixteenth day of the first month, the day of the crew's New Year's gathering.

And in the company, all the work is also going on normally.

On the one hand, Wang Luo's new album is selling well, and in one, the release of Infernal Affairs is also in full swing. In the awards ceremony last year, Infernal Affairs defeated many competitors in one fell swoop with a series of leading advantages.

not only won the award of best picture, but also won four major awards, including best director, best screenplay, best soundtrack, and best actor.

And other companies can only shake their heads helplessly in the face of this movie.

Infernal Affairs II has surpassed them a lot in every aspect, and it is not something they can catch up with if they want to.

In addition to domestic awards, Wang Luo also received invitations from famous film award organizers such as Cannes and Venice. The times are March and May this year.

It can be said that this year will be a year for Roselle Entertainment to blossom and bear fruit.

In other plans, Wang Luo also increased the company's mission goals.

According to the original plan, the company will produce a total of three TV series this year. Three movies, and two variety shows. The website has no less than ten self-made programs, which is used to continue to consolidate the traffic advantage of Roselle Video.

On the train, the crew members took two full carriages, hundreds of staff, and a large number of machinery and equipment. This makes the size of the film crew slightly bloated and huge.

Fortunately, Tianjing is not far from Chifeng, and with the advantage of modern transportation, it only takes a few hours for the crew to arrive at Chifeng.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the crew left Chifeng Station, got into a temporarily rented car, and went to the pre-selected filming location together.

Around four o'clock in the afternoon, the crew arrived at the theater, because most of them were filming in the field. Therefore, the environment in which the crew lives is also a little shabby, all yurts.

After settling the whole crew, it was already seven o'clock in the evening.

Early the next morning, the crew began to install and debug the machinery and equipment. Wang Luo and Huang Bin, as well as assistant director Yang Yihu, are arranging extras.

Although there are no too high requirements for extras, there are still the minimum requirements. They play the role of the army, not ordinary rogue bandits.

And most of these group performances are not professional group performances. Instead, they were played by local villagers and herdsmen.

'Smack~~~'

Without paying attention, Wang Luo fell off the horse. Fortunately, it was not his head on the ground, otherwise, Wang Luo would not have any good feeling in the future.

Although Wang Luo is the chief director, in this TV series, Wang Luo still played the role of Huo Quai.

Since it is a general role, it is essential to fight on horseback.

That's why they choose pastoralists. These peoples, who have lived on horseback since childhood, can still sit firmly on their horses and gallop even when they get off the saddle and stirrups.

On the contrary, there were several leading actors, but at this time, they had a headache one by one.

Wang Luo was not the first to fall off his horse, nor was he the last.

As with the horses that are exclusively for visitors to experience test rides. The 'war horses' under their crotches are all carefully selected horses by the herdsmen, and they are all tamed, and they will never have any strangeness to people, let alone any threat.

But unlike ordinary horses, Wang Luo wrote the screenplay strictly according to the progress of history. Therefore, the war horses they rode on did not have saddles and stirrups.

There is only one fixed fluff on the horse's back, which is used to keep warm and prevent chafing. The stirrup was also replaced with a rope noose, which was mainly used for getting on and off the horses, and during the march it was simply not possible to use its strength to maintain its own balance.

"Xiao Luo, this kind of horse actors can't ride at all, without a few years of kung fu, it is difficult for ordinary people to be able to ride directly on horseback. I think otherwise, when the shooting is launched, we will use this. When the horses are running, are we changing into saddles and stirrups? Yang Yihu frowned tightly.

Looking at the actors who were practicing horseback riding on the grassland, Yang Yihu was nervous for a while.

Now it's just practice, and the situation is slightly better, even if you fall off the horse, it will hurt at most.

But if the main actor falls off the horse during the filming, then the problem is serious.

You must know that the scene arranged in the script is not the kind of scene where a few people and more than a dozen people fight each other. Rather, it is a war in which thousands of armies take place.

And in terms of the selection of some pictures, it is also necessary to shoot the scene of the high-speed gallop of the war horse. In case the main actor makes a mistake at this time and falls off the horse, there are still thousands of war horses running at high speed behind him, if he is not sure, people may be trampled directly into pulp.

They don't dare to take this kind of risk, and they are not qualified to take it.

"No, the picture must be real, otherwise our efforts will be in vain." Wang Luo shook his head, Yang Yihu's worries were not unthinkable, and even Wang Luo had already thought of a backup plan.

But filming hasn't started yet, everything is still unknown, and Wang Luo doesn't want to just give up.

If tomorrow, the leading actors still haven't been able to master the habits of these horses, then Wang Luo will have to take a backup plan.

However, the requirements for that solution are more demanding, for example, it must be windy weather, or. There are several large hair dryers in front.

In this way, they can also accelerate in slow motion to achieve the scene of horses galloping at high speed on the battlefield.

"Phew!" Deng Chao sat on the grassland, spat fiercely, looked at the war horse twenty or thirty meters away from him, and couldn't help but feel a bitterness in his heart.

In this TV series. Deng Chao played the role of the general Wei Qing, and the general Wei Qing came up step by step from the bottom. Although his sister Wei Zifu is blowing the wind by the emperor's side, Wei Qing is originally a very real person.

If the generals can't ride horses, then how can the later scenes be filmed?

Deng Chao, who was also practicing equestrianism, was not as lucky as Wang Luo. Because he wanted to practice equestrianism well, Deng Chao also put all his attention on the war horse.

However, caught off guard, Deng Chao accidentally fell from the war horse, if not a little luck. The hind hooves of the war horse were only about twenty centimeters away, and they were about to step directly on Deng Chao's head.

And Deng Chao was also sturdily slammed into a, and Deng Chao, who was sitting on the grass, was panting heavily, and felt embarrassed for the next shooting.

Although the war scene only occupies a quarter of the scene in Wang Luo's script, there is no doubt that the weight of this scene in Wang Luo's heart must not be guessed by the role.

Arguably. Wang Luo is more attentive to the later scene than the previous scene.

And as a new member of the company. Deng Chao came to the crew to participate in the filming during the recording of the second season of Running Man.

More importantly, this drama will premiere on CCTV, and Deng Chao, as the starring actor, can be said to determine his future fate in this drama.

Running Man is just a variety show, overall. It was an idol show, but the TV series was the base camp of the real powerful actors, and Deng Chao also wanted to make himself more omnipotent.

However, riding this kind of war horse without any protection, even if it is just an ordinary domestic horse trained by the herders. This is not something that the Deng Dynasty can afford.

For modern humans who are accustomed to cars, the existence of horses is more just to experience the ancient traffic and experience the enjoyment brought by war horses.

Although he was thrown and almost injured because of this, Deng Chao admired the soldiers of the Western Han Dynasty even more.

Now they are just filming TV, which makes Deng Chao feel huge pressure. How difficult should it be for those who turn infantry to cavalry, and who also have to fight on horses?

"When you feel that you are about to fall off the horse, you must lean your body outward, if you can borrow strength, it is best to be able to jump, in any case, you must not try to correct your movements, you must not try to prevent yourself from falling because you do not want to fall off the horse, this will only bring you greater danger." A Mongolian man took the horse that Deng Chao had ridden before and turned back, jumped off the horse, and said to Deng Chao.

He had already told Deng Chao about the essentials of horseback riding, if there was a saddle and stirrups, if Deng Chao had a certain foundation in horseback riding, maybe he could try to save it.

But Deng Chao, who didn't know anything, rode a horse without stirrups and saddles, and saving himself in this situation was undoubtedly tantamount to planting a bomb for himself.

If it weren't for this Mongolian man who discovered that something was wrong with the situation before, and urgently accelerated the war horse at the moment when Deng Chao fell off the war horse, I'm afraid that Deng Chao would not be sitting here now, but was on the way to the hospital.

The crew is equipped with a local equestrian instructor for each actor, these people are grassland men who have grown up on horseback since childhood, and can not only make any movements on horseback at will, but even without a saddle and stirrups, they can also make certain movements.

In equestrianism, I'm afraid no one here can surpass them.

But no matter how good a coach is, there will always be times when he makes mistakes, and there are always times when he is inattentive among excellent students.

"Thank you Ertu, I'll take notice." Deng Chao struggled to get up from the grass, trying to get on the horse's back again.

Ertu directly grabbed Deng Chao and shook his head at him, "I will never allow you to get on the back of the horse again, this kind of request is simply fatal for you." I've got to go to your director and tell him what's going on, and until then, I'm not going to allow any of you to touch these horses again. ”

"Ertu, I know that the requirements of the crew may be a little higher, but we must hurry up and practice, even if we can't meet the requirements of the crew in the end, at least I must be able to sit firmly on the horse, otherwise, there will be no way to shoot the later scenes." Deng Chao said.

"That's your business, I have to be responsible for your safety, I feel that this matter has threatened your safety, so I don't plan to let you continue to take such risks." Ertu said firmly.

Immediately, Ertu led the two horses directly out of the training ground.

He had to go to Wang Luo and explain the matter clearly. Let them, actors who have no foundation, sit on horseback without any protection and run at high speed, this is not filming, this is playing with life.

Although Ertu is just an ordinary person with good equestrian skills in Chifeng, after the crew came to Chifeng, he hired Ertu as the crew's equestrian safety consultant and paid a lot of honorarium.

So, Ertu felt that he had to keep these people safe as well.

"Director, I think your requirements for actors must be changed, this is an impossible task for them, and it is definitely not an ordinary challenge, it is a cost of life." Ertu came to the area where Wang Luo was and spoke directly.

Steppe men have a common characteristic, straight, Ertu feels that Wang Luo's plan is wrong, and there will be major safety risks, so he will not care whether Wang Luo is a director or not, and whether Wang Luo is his current leader.

"I know it's a bit difficult, but it's just a goal, and if the actors can't meet the crew's requirements, the crew will eventually choose another way to solve the problem. What we need is for the actor to be able to sit firmly on the horse and pick up arms, it's that simple. Wang Luo responded.

He was well aware of the situation of the crew, and he also knew what he was asking for, and it was impossible for the actors to accomplish it.

In fact, when Yang Yihu made this suggestion to him, Wang Luo was already considering using a backup plan, but this premise is that the actor must be able to sit firmly on horseback, otherwise everything will be floating clouds. (To be continued.) )
