Chapter Eighty-Seven: Props

After filming Liu Ye's scenes, Lin Yuquan concentrated the rest of the indoor scenes to shoot, some of them were from the palace, some were from various courtyards or study scenes, the only exception was the role of Xiao Qiao played by Liu Yifei, Lin Yuquan decisively arranged it to shoot when the camera was turned off at the end.

Xiao Qiao's role is linked to Zhou Yu played by Lin Yuquan, and there are fewer actors involved, so the transition is basically the crew's own staff, and it is not troublesome, it can give Liu Yifei more training, so that she can have a better appearance, and a transition is naturally nothing.

"Sister Binbin, pay attention to your eyes and posture, although you are mentioning to Sun Quan at this time, you should be more resolute and tough, yes, that's it."

"Zhou Xun, you've done a good job, take a rest first."

"Wei Zai, I need you to fuse the breath of the book with the domineering spirit, don't look at me, I can't tell you how it feels, you figure it out, I believe in you."

After a period of getting along, Lin Yuquan's relationship with Liang Chaowei, Liu Dehua, Chen Daoming, Zhou Xun and others became more and more familiar.

The actors are excellent, and it is naturally easy to shoot, in just half a month, Lin Yuquan finished filming the indoor scenes, and then the crew moved to the location base where the corresponding scenes had already been built.

In the location base, Lin Yuquan first filmed the part of the corresponding war scene, which involved few actors, mainly relying on the acting skills of the main actors, and it was relatively easy to shoot.

With the hard work of a group of actors, the progress of the literary drama is advancing day by day, and after the filming of the literary drama is completed, Lin Yuquan immediately began the war scenes that he is best at and most looking forward to.

At this time, after a long time of preparation, Ning Hao finally formed his favorite cast, most of which are just unknown supporting roles or actors, Lin Yuquan also knew Feng Dong's actor Xu Zheng, the security section chief Bao Shihong's actor Guo Tao, and the international thief Mike's actor Lin Yongjian, and then took the crew of "Crazy Stone" to Chongqing Yuzhong Luohan Temple to shoot.

"Xiao Yang, have the extras changed their armor?" Lin Yuquan asked Xiao Yang beside him while checking the layout of the scene.

"The armor has been put on, and I am receiving the weapon props, and it will be almost there in ten minutes." Speaking of this, Xiao Yang's voice was a little excited: "Seriously, Yuquan, your design is fantastic, every time I see these armors, I feel enthusiastic, they don't look like filming props at all, if the materials use real armor materials, saying that they are ancient army armor, it is estimated that no one will not believe it, especially the appearance of thousands of people standing together in such armor, it is really shocking." ”

Lin Yuquan smiled in his eyes, of course this is a real army armor, and it is far more powerful than the real Three Kingdoms period.

The cultivator who was still a martial artist at the beginning had traveled in the Dali Dynasty for three years after he got the immortal fate and fell into a bottleneck period, and naturally saw the army of the Dali Dynasty and the scene of the arrangement, but the prototype of this set of Cao Jun armor was not the army armor from the Dali Dynasty, but the army armor that the cultivator saw when he traveled around the continent through the Xianqin Dynasty after he became a cultivator in cultivating immortals.

The biggest feature of this set of armor is that it is close to the style of ancient Chinese armor, and it is very suitable for the image of Cao Jun's majesty and domineering, and it is relatively easy to make zuò, which is definitely the most suitable choice for him at this stage, after all, he is filming "Red Cliff", which is a historical movie, not a fantasy movie, if it is the type of "Wuji", the situation is naturally very different.

In addition to Cao Jun, the armor of the Jingzhou Army, Jiangdong Army, and Liu Bei's Army was almost all selected in the memory of cultivators based on such a principle, but when choosing, it was finally decided according to their respective characteristics and temperament, Cao Jun was domineering, Jingzhou was fancy, Jiangdong Yingwu, and Liu Bei's army was concise, each with its own characteristics.

Of course, although it is close to the style of ancient armor, it does not mean that these armors are not powerful and exquisite, the cost of each set of these armors is as high as 800 yuan, which is equivalent to a month or half a month's salary of ordinary wage earners, and the armor and weapons and clothing alone have smashed nearly 10 million, and it took two months before and after to finally complete.

What is wealthy, this is, a very stark contrast is Chen Kaige's "Wuji" It is said that more than 2 million items such as armor and costumes were spent, and the two are almost not at the same level, can such a large investment not be exquisite?

"Now it's just wearing armor, and when they take their weapons, stand in battle columns, beat war drums, and thousands of people shout "kill" in unison, you will know what shock is. ”

The most exciting scene in "Red Cliff" is undoubtedly the battlefield battle and the burning of Chibi, and the scene filmed today is the military appearance scene of Sun Cao Liu's army on the battlefield.

For this scene, Lin Yuquan took great pains, and found 2,500 people for the group performance alone, recruited a month in advance, and almost swept away the male extras in Hengdian Film and Television City.

"Is the helicopter arranged?"

"It's been arranged, not to mention that this large American special effects company is very skillful in operating aerial photography, but is it too wasteful for us to use helicopters for aerial filming, we can make the lifting platform of the camera higher, and then push it from a distance to shoot the battle formation you said, or we can learn from Hollywood to use remote control helicopters with special cameras to shoot." Xiao Yang frowned.

"Of course I will use what you said, Zhao Fei has already arranged the camera position and track just now, but although this kind of lens can shoot the actor's position and facial expression, it is far less shocking than the aerial photography that will show the whole scene at a glance, I will first use aerial photography to shoot the panorama overhead, and incorporate the entire war scene into the lens, and then use the push and pull method to push the camera over, and take a close-up and close-up of the actor's expression, so that the effect will be completely out, so we must not save this money, If it weren't for the tight shooting time and the lack of time to register and apply for the three aircraft certificates, it would have been more convenient for us to buy a helicopter ourselves. Lin Yuquan said as he walked.

Xiao Yang's eyes lit up: "This is a good idea, the general helicopter can be taken down for a few million, anyway, we now have a lot of film and television dramas a year, and with our own helicopter, you can shoot as much as you want, and it can also be used as a means of transportation in case of emergency." ”

"Then after the movie is filmed and I return to Kyoto, I will have a meeting with Ding Zhi and Xiao Ran to discuss, and we will go to see the makeup and dressing of the actors." Lin Yuquan looked at the well-arranged scene with satisfaction and said.

"Rain Spring, you're here." Zhen Zidan, who was wearing the armor of General Cao Jun and holding a simple sword, waved his hand happily when he saw Lin Yuquan coming.

"Brother Zidan, this armor is very suitable for you, and when worn on you, it has the style of a general who fought on the battlefield in ancient times." Lin Yuquan praised that Zhen Zidan has been practicing martial arts for a long time and has a strong body, and the armor does have a kind of majestic and domineering temperament on his body.

"The main thing is that your armor is mighty, Yuquan, when the filming is over, can this armor and this sword be given to me?" Zhen Zidan asked lovingly, stroking the armor on his body.

"The filming is over, and the armor is broken, are you going to take a pair of tattered armor home? Don't worry, I'll ask the props team to make an extra set of this style of armor. Lin Yuquan said funny.

"Sure enough, it's enough brothers." Zhen Zidan patted Lin Yuquan's shoulder heavily.

"It's okay, when the time comes, the cost of making zuò armor and swords will be deducted from the salary." Lin Yuquan said lightly.

"You're ruthless enough." Zhen Zidan glanced at Lin Yuquan, but he didn't care, although he was not as rich as Lin Yuquan, he was also a top actor with an annual income of tens of millions, and then said: "The women's armor worn by Zhou Xun should also make me a set!" ”

"Ready to give it to my sister-in-law?"

Zhen Zidan smiled and didn't speak.

"Okay, the storage is better than the one on you, anyway, you don't have to miss the material money and labor costs." Lin Yuquan's eyes looked around and found that the actors were ready, so he said to Xiao Yang: "You organize the actors to enter the venue and start preparing for filming." ”

"OK," Xiao Yang said, and went back to the house to get the horn.
