Chapter 768: Power on
"Alas, I found that I am really not suitable for the entertainment industry, it's too annoying......" Wu Tian hung up the phone, shook his head and sighed.
Yesterday, it was easy to send those reporters, but he didn't want someone to come to the door today, so he still walked through Fang Junsheng's back door - although Fang Junsheng said that the other party was contacted through the Sanshi network, and it didn't matter if he saw him or not, Wu Tian had to sell some face, and accepted a five-minute interview by phone.
"Hehe, just get used to it." Brother Long said with a smile.
"Okay, let's not talk about this, start the day after tomorrow, how are the preparations?" Wu Tian said with a smile.
"Well, modern dramas are fine, but I don't know the bottom of the costume drama part." Brother Long said.
Wu Tian nodded and said, "Well, let's shoot the costume part first, and shoot the most difficult part first." β
"Uh......" Brother Long had a strange face.
"There are two most difficult points in this drama for you, one is Meng Yi's demeanor and momentum as a general." Wu Tian said, "The other one is the emotional drama with Yushu." The feelings of these two people are very distorted and depressed, and it is quite difficult to perform the feeling of loving but not daring to love. I'm going to shoot the emotional scene first, we can slow down the pace a bit, it shouldn't be a big problem. β
"Well, okay, I'll do my best." Brother Long said.
In fact, when he got the script, Brother Long himself thought that the modern drama part was too suitable for him, but the costume drama part was too difficult, and he wanted to retreat. But I am really reluctant to give up my cooperation with Director Wu - he is a big director who plays Hollywood, and this time he is a great man who won the Oscar for Best Picture, even if the challenge is more difficult. You'll have to try harder.
But fortunately, after it was decided from years ago. Wu Tian gave him a task. is to practice acting skills hard, first of all, I watch "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" all day long, looking for the feeling of commanding thousands of armies, and I also have to practice emotional drama.
It's really hard for him to be sorry for such a big-name role, and he still has to learn acting from scratch like a student.
If he changes to a different director, I am afraid that he will have already dropped the script and left, but he can face Wu Tian. He didn't dare to do this, but Brother Long is also an upper-class figure in the Hong Kong Island film and television industry, so he naturally knows Wu Tian's hidden attributes - how strong the Xiang family was back then, but now he has been recruited by others, and he has completely withdrawn from the film and television industry......

"Cards!"
Poor Brother Long didn't say a word. Wu Tian directly shouted to stop, there was no way. That girl's expression was too inadequate.
After some start-up publicity, the start-up ceremony was officially held yesterday, and the gang broke up after taking a casual shot, and today is a serious official start-up. The filming location is at the Huacheng Tianlong Film and Television Base, but it is not a location used, but a large studio was built, and a cave scene was built, which directly shot the scene where Meng Yi and Yushu fled to a cave after being dispersed by the enemy.
Of course, Wu Tian will no longer let Yu Shu sew Meng Yi's wounds like in the original version, and still use his hair - well, I can't understand that the surgical skills of the Qin Dynasty are already so awesome, and he is especially a princess guest doctor......
Wu Tian's key selection is that Meng Yi insists on the courtesy of the monarch and the minister, and insists that men and women do not kiss - in fact, more importantly, this is Qin Shihuang's woman, he doesn't dare to touch it, if it is known by the old ghost, it will be the Nine Clans!
However, Yushu couldn't help but feel strange because he had just saved himself - the little girl was naturally full of affection for the life-saving benefactor, and the hero saved the beauty, so she naturally wanted to make a promise......
So, the plot here is that Meng Yi was hit by an arrow in the back, Yushu wanted to help him bandage his wound, but Meng Yi didn't let him, but he couldn't reach the wound himself, Yushu pleaded, Meng Yi refused, and finally Meng Yi was seriously injured and fell into a coma, and Yushu was able to be treated.
This is arguably one of the most sensational scenes in the film, and it requires quite high acting skills.
Poor Brother Long was directly "stuck" to death by Wu Tian as soon as he appeared, who made this girl have a wooden face.
"Brother Long, it doesn't feel right, do it again......" Wu Tian commanded and said.
"Okay." Brother Long nodded, pondered it, and prepared again.
βACTIONγβ
"Cards!"
Just a few seconds after the poor camera, Brother Long still didn't read the line words, and he was killed by Wu Tian again.
NG twice in a row, which made Brother Long and Zhou Gongzi extremely depressed, and if it didn't work, let me recite the lines again, okay, if it really doesn't work, then you can also point it out, so that we can adjust, right? But you only say that it doesn't feel right, what kind of shooting method is this? Could it be that this product is also a Wang Jiawei style?
"That's not right......" Wu Tian frowned, pondered for a while, and said to the assistant director Lao Zhang, "Call the stylist and makeup artist over." β
"Director......" The stylist and makeup artist ran over and nodded at Wu Tian.
"Well, re-apply makeup to Brother Long, look younger, and take off his helmet, that thing is buttoned, old man!" Wu Tian said.
Tut...... Brother Long said that he was very hurt......
In fact, Wu Tian had already complained about the old costume of Brother Long in the original version, not to mention that Yushu was also replaced by the ageless elf Zhou Gongzi, who had a tender little face. Absolutely super loli. Compare with Brother Long. Not to mention the grandparents and grandchildren, the father and daughter who are said to have children later are definitely qualified.
Well, Uncle and Lori can barely accept it, but Uncle and Lori are absolutely blind!
Fortunately, the crew is very strong, after all, with such a big investment, Tianzheng is looking for the strongest team, and the ace makeup artist has been tinkering with it, which really makes Brother Long five years younger. looks mighty, heroic and heroic, with a feeling of embarrassment and perseverance after being injured, standing in front of Zhou Gongzi, it is finally a little more harmonious......
*************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** ********************************************************************
The filming progress of "Myth", not to mention comparing it with a turtle, is not even comparable to a snail.
After shooting a shot on the first day of shooting, I was stunned for a week without an inch! First of all, the styling was finally done, but then it was time to act.
Brother Long is indeed not a guy suitable for filming emotional scenes. The expression is stereotyped, and the eyes are dull. couldn't catch up with Zhou Gongzi, who was an acting school, and there were hundreds of NG shots in one shot, but he was stunned, which made some people in the crew feel disheartened.
However, after a week of running-in, Brother Long finally made some progress and opened up a little.
If it were replaced by another director, it would be impossible to do this, you have to know how big a brand Brother Long is? Other directors are afraid that they can only listen to him, and if he says it, he must pass, unless there is a technical mistake, and the acting skills can only be improvised.
This is also the reason why Brother Long's acting skills can only stay at the Facebook stage for so many years, and it is also the reason why he can only be a kung fu star, but he can't shoot emotional scenes!
Wu Tian is not an ordinary person, he can definitely eat Brother Long to death, NG is not embarrassed for a week, Brother Long can only hold back if he has grievances, and in the end he has no choice but to abandon the halo of stardom, seriously study emotional dramas, try over and over again, think over and over again, practice over and over again, and finally control the stiff facial muscles and become a little interesting......
"Cards!" After Wu Tian stopped, he looked at the playback on the monitor again, and finally said, "Pass!" β
"Huh......" The whole crew breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and some even high-fived and celebrated, finally passed one, it was too hard......
"Brother Long, congratulations." Zhou Gongzi couldn't help but smile at Brother Long.
"Thank you, thank you......" Brother Long thanked everyone with mixed feelings in his heart, this can be said to be the first time since his debut that filming is so difficult.
In fact, it's not to blame Brother Long for being uncomfortable, after all, he is just a commercial film actor, in the crazy environment of Hong Kong Island, he never pays attention to any acting skills when making movies, only pays attention to efficiency, usually a film is finished in about a month, and people don't have time to refine it - let's just say that the original "Myth", the shooting time is only ten days, what is that concept? According to Wu Tian's current progress, it is only enough to shoot two shots!
But fortunately, after Brother Long broke through the bottleneck, the shooting was finally a little normal, although the progress was much slower than most movies, at least a few shows a day.
This is simply a practical teaching of Brother Long's acting skills, Wu Tian first picked up the small scenes, the part of the emotional scene for studio shooting, hung hard for a month, and finally completed the most difficult part of this part - in fact, this part is only about ten minutes of footage!
Next, the filming of the big scene finally started, and the whole crew flew directly to the Tianlong Film and Television City branch in the Inner Mongolia grassland......
*************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** *************
After years of development, Tianlong Film and Television City has developed into the largest film and television base in the country, with branches in special geomorphological areas all over the country, such as the desert, Gobi, and snow-capped mountains in the west, the grasslands in the north, the primeval forests in the northeast, the beach coconut groves in Hainan, etc., it can be said that almost all movie locations can be found from the branches of Tianlong.
As for the ancient buildings in Huacheng, it is the largest and most complete in China, and its scale has long surpassed that of Hengdian in the previous life - Hengdian in this life is just a small film and television base that is stunted, and there is no comparison at all.
The supporting facilities of Tianlong Film and Television Base are quite complete, not to mention anything else, just talk about the transportation, people will maintain close cooperation with Skyhawk Airlines, the crew can charter a plane at a low price at any time, travel between various branches, and the cost is even cheaper than taking a train! This alone is enough to be proud of all film and television bases.
However, the problem is that although Skyhawk has the ability to provide large aircraft, there is no big airport in the Inner Mongolia branch, and it can only take off and land small planes of more than 100 people.
After a short break, Wu Tian once again devoted himself to filming, but fortunately, this kind of big battle scene does not need Wu Tian to go out in person - there is an assistant director.
Wu Tian has a good idea of his directing ability, and he has no problem controlling the general direction, but in some professional scenes, he lacks experience after all, such as this kind of big war scene, so he specially invited a director who filmed "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" back then.
1,000 group performers were seconded from a nearby unit, and they not only had to shoot the scenes of Meng Yi's troops fighting with Donghu, but also changed their costumes to play the scenes of coolies building the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum, and even encircling and suppressing Meng Yi.
In addition, Wu Tian also plans to use the computer to expand the scene of 1,000 people by more than ten times during post-production to create a real super scene......
