Chapter 153: What Is This?
To say that when the "Fist" drama is finished, what is the first thing that everyone in the crew thinks of what they want to do most?
Almost all of them would choose to say - sleep.
Yes, sleep......
In other words, the crew members of the "Fist" drama are not experienced in a hundred battles, and they have never experienced any hard-working filming tasks! Even after such a tiring filming work, most people don't just think about sleeping and resting as soon as the crew is finished.
Even many times, they will have leisure to receive their salaries and go to that place for a shopping spree.
But after the filming of "Fist" this time, many staff members returned to the hotel where they stayed, lay down on the bed and fell asleep!
Because they're so tired!
In view of this, Qi Lei, who is the main person in charge of the crew, is not easy to ask these staff members to return to their positions, and immediately devote themselves to the post-production of the "Fist" film.
Of course, not only other people were tired enough, but Qi Lei also felt as if his body was about to fall apart, and after eating a good meal on the day of the crew's finale, he also went back to the room early to rest!
It's just that compared to the rest of the crew, Qi Lei's vacation is really pitiful.
Early the next morning, when everyone in the crew was sleeping in the hotel room in Leshi, Sichuan Province, Qi Lei was woken up by a phone call.
The call was made by the crew of the two dramas "Fairy Sword" and "Martial Arts" that were filming at the same time, both in S City and G West Province, and they all had only one meaning on the phone: they were in trouble!
Like the movie "Fist", the shooting techniques of these two TV series are also different from previous domestic film and television dramas.
Although one of the two dramas belongs to a magical action drama and the other is a traditional kung fu action drama, even so, it is undeniable that these two TV series are actually classified in the same way as action dramas.
Therefore, in terms of the filming of action scenes, the crews of the two dramas naturally adhered to the kind of shooting techniques based on real fight scenes as required by Qi Lei's previous unified planning.
However, they are not as lucky as the "Fist" crew that Qi Lei is in, and they can have the industry's top action directors and their teams to help design and choreograph the action for filming.
As a result, the problem of inadequate shooting of the action scenes that Qi Lei encountered in the filming of "Fist" has become the most headache for the directors of the two crews.
filmed for more than a month, and the two crews filmed a lot of literary dramas like "Fist", but the martial arts dramas have been delayed because of various shooting problems.
This is what Qi Lei and his agent A KING saw when they first rushed to the crew of "Wulin"!
……
It took a whole day for Qi Lei to watch the drama "Martial Arts" in the studio office of Huayi Company in S City, and all the scenes that have been mastered so far!
Overall, Reviver is still very satisfied.
Under the direction of Zhang Jizhong, the top domestic costume kung fu film director, most of the drama scenes of "Wulin" are very gorgeous and spectacular.
In terms of scene and character control, Master Zhang has also achieved the most perfect restoration of the required elements in the original work. is the only fly in the ointment is that in the action scenes, Master Zhang inevitably mixed too much ethereal feeling into the fighting style.
This made Wei Lei frown when he could see all the fights in the master tape.
It's not that the picture is not handled well, it's not that the shooting technology is not enough, and it's not that the actors don't act well, if this play is released directly now, the results are definitely not inferior to the previous Master Zhang's costume drama "Condor", which is so good. …,
But that's why Qi Lei is not satisfied!
You must know that the "Condor" of Master Zhang, which he participated in before, was only a medium grade in terms of ratings.
One of the reasons is that although Master Zhang has innovated in the grand view of the scene, he has not departed from the shooting method of traditional costume martial arts action TV series in the general direction. Therefore, although the director zhì did a good job in the show, he did not achieve Cheng Dù, which was well received by the majority of TV audiences.
Second, when the new drama was planned in the early stage, Qi Lei had repeatedly reiterated the special innovation of the "Three Dramas and One Play Plan" in several aspects such as filming techniques.
But at present, the film made by Master Zhang obviously does not meet the kind of "novel, real, and dynamic" scenes that Qi Lei originally required for action scenes.
Can this not make Qi Lei not frown after seeing the master film?
But fortunately, Master Zhang is still an experienced director after all, Qi Lei sat down with him to talk about the play, and shared some of the experience he gained in the filming of "Fist" to Master Zhang.
In the handling of action scenes after that, Master Zhang's films have obviously improved.
This is not to say that Master Zhang's professional skills are not good, or that Qi Lei's ox fork is boundless or anything. That's nothing, in fact, what Qi Lei shared with Master Zhang is just a new conceptual approach to the filming of TV dramas.
As for the specific details, how to shoot the plot, how the actors act, etc., Qi Lei did not ask, and there is no need to ask.
After all, Master Zhang now knows more than himself in terms of qualifications, experience and other aspects than he does in directing work, and Qi Lei knows that what he can do is just to grasp the general direction of the shooting task.
……………………
After staying in S City for four days to deal with the problems encountered in the filming process of the drama "Martial Arts", Qi Lei and his agent set off to Yun Province again to see how the filming of "Fairy Sword" crew went.
And this time, when Qi Lei watched the mastering material of "Fairy Sword" in the collapsed hotel in XS Banna City, where the crew was located, his mood was no longer as calm as frowning.
Rotten, terrible!
After watching the master film for less than 5 minutes, Qi Lei couldn't control his anger and almost split the master film.
The rough and leaky scene prop settings, the overly chaotic shooting techniques, and the traditional strict shooting techniques make the drama "Xian", which should have presented beautiful and exquisite scenes on the screen, look like a small movie made with only tens of thousands of dollars on the screen.
This should not be the picture that the drama "Xian" has, and this should not be the shooting skills matched by Huayi Company and the famous domestic director Feng Xiaogang...... It's not, it's not!!
Qi Lei was very angry and immediately set off to the set of the "Immortal" drama in the scenic spot, wanting to see what kind of shooting scene it was to shoot such a bad movie.
It's good that I didn't go, but after I went to the set to watch the crew, Qi Lei was really angry!
What is it?
After Ling'er transformed into the prototype of Nuwa, the snake tail turned out to be just a prop costume made of plastic sheeting? Stiff, no flesh, no texture, completely out of the natural curved and soft feeling of the snake body!
What is it?
The stones and pillars in the scene are all covered with layers of paint, and you can tell from afar that they are fake props!!
What is it?
Why are the styles of weapons and props such as swords so simple and unrealistic!!
What is it?
The props in the play, the scene explosion, and the tragic scene when the Bai Miao people were slaughtered in the village, why is there only a pitiful bit? …… What about the big scenes? Where have they all gone? …,
…… What is it? …… What the hell is this, what the hell is these???
Qi Lei watched the filming of the scenes that were going on on the set outside the set, and the more he watched, the more he felt like he had been stabbed in his heart, and he wanted to shed tears in pain!
This...... It's not "Sword and Fairy" at all!!
After watching the crew finish shooting this set of shots completely outside the set, Qi Lei walked into the set with a blank face and came to the camera, and greeted Feng Xiaogang, who was sitting in the director's position at the moment: "Teacher Feng, good afternoon!" ”
"Okay, Leizi, you're here. Wait a minute, you go over there and sit down, and I'll talk to you when I've arranged my work!" ......Speaking of this, Feng Xiaogang turned his head and arranged work for the rest of the crew.
And Qi Lei almost couldn't help but question Feng Xiaogang's words at this time, but he was also swallowed back alive by Feng Xiaogang's arrangement!
But it's okay, Qi Lei turned his head and thought that although it would be cool to question himself loudly at this time. BUT LOSING THE FACE OF HIS PREDECESSORS LIKE THAT IS NOT A GOOD THING AFTER ALL, SO HE AND HIS AGENT KING OBEDIENTLY WALKED TO THE DIRECTOR'S REST SHED ON THE SIDE OF THE SET, AND QUIETLY WAITED FOR FENG XIAOGANG TO ARRANGE HIS WORK AND THEN COME TO TALK TO HIM ABOUT THINGS.
