Chapter 82: Filming Begins
Lu Li actually had the idea of releasing an album just after graduating from college, otherwise he wouldn't have come out of a top recording studio right away. But seeing the lack of talents in Farewell Entertainment, it was unrealistic to release an album, so I didn't act immediately.
I originally recorded a song and gave it to my book lovers, but I didn't expect to encounter such a bitter thing as stealing songs because of my own negligence. Although the company now has an arranger, the music producer has not yet been found, and "Shooting the Condor" also started filming at this time, so Lu Li had to postpone the time.
In fact, for ordinary small companies or small artists, they will not release albums at the beginning, but choose to upload songs to YY Music Network to get download income. But Lu Li didn't want to do this, his songs not only had to be put on the Internet, but also the album, otherwise he would be blind to countless classics on the planet.
At this moment, since a reporter asked this question, Lu Li said his plan. For him, writing an album is a very simple thing, and the difficult thing is nothing more than the production problems such as recording and post-production.
After the reporter who asked the question got a satisfactory answer, he recorded it, and it was the turn of the next reporter to ask the question, and the object of the question began to turn to the director Yan Wenzhong.
Lu Li is not a formal person in the entertainment industry now, and these reporters will catch him to ask questions at the beginning mainly because the copyright dispute between Lu Li and Liu Li is not long ago, and this is Lu Li's first appearance in public, so these reporters can't wait to ask Lu Li some questions.
After the press conference, Lu Li was not asked a question by reporters, but Lu Li did not feel left out at all. After all, his identity is different, and now he can be said to be equivalent to a newcomer in the entertainment industry, and reporters will naturally focus on these influential stars.
After the press conference, Lu Li and Jiang You were not sent back to the hotel, but drove directly to Hengdian Film and Television City in China and Zhejiang with the crew to start a 5-month shooting.
In the evening, after Lu Li arrived at Hengdian Film and Television City and checked into the hotel with the crew, he received the YY news of mosquitoes.
"Lu Lida, are you in Huahai now? I saw the press conference for the filming of the "Condor Shooting" TV series reported by the media. "Mosquitoes.
"Oh, I'm in Hengdian Film and Television City now, and I'll be here after the press conference in the afternoon." Lu Li replied.
"Oh, I originally wanted to come to Lu Li to play." Mosquito.
"If there is a chance in the future, this time the schedule is relatively tight, and it is estimated that it will be busy during the shooting." After Lu Li finished speaking, he ended the chat with the mosquito, and began to rest after a while, because tomorrow "Shooting the Condor" will officially start filming, and according to the current posture of the crew, it is estimated that the shooting rhythm will be very fast.
Very early the next day, Lu Li was woken up by the crew and said that he was preparing to start filming. Lu Li is not only a screenwriter, but also an assistant director, so the staff also came to wake up Lu Li early.
When Lu Li came to the filming site of the crew, many people were already busy at the scene. The makeup artist is putting on makeup for the actors, many actors are still studying the script carefully, and director Yan Wenzhong is walking around the scene, looking here and there.
Lu Li's assistant director is a veritable name, and there is nothing to do, just like Yan Wenzhong wandering around the scene, observing everything. Jiang You is different, he is very busy at the scene at the moment, doing various tasks for the start of filming. The assistant director sounds good, but in fact he does some chores.
Jiang You didn't say anything about it, he had known this for a long time, but in order to be able to better learn actual shooting, it was nothing to suffer a little.
Finally, almost two hours later, the actors who had a role in the scene today put on their makeup, and the scene was almost set up, and the first scene was filmed.
Since it was the first day of filming, no big scenes were arranged, not even martial arts dramas, only a few relatively simple literary dramas were arranged. And the first shot is that after Qiu Chuji was rescued by Guo Xiaotian and Yang Tiexin, he drank and ate at the house of the two and named the two of them.
Although this scene is not very difficult, the crew has just been established, there is no tacit understanding, and the filming process is very slow. And Yan Wenzhong is not only old, but also has a big temper, and he has been angry several times. And as the name suggests, the requirements are very strict.
Lu Li carefully observed Yan Wenzhong's methods in the process, and found that it was no different from what he had learned on Earth, and his heart relaxed. As long as the general system is the same, as long as you actually learn it, I believe that the time to run the computer alone is not far away.
And Jiang You was not only busy at the scene during this process, but also observed Yan Wenzhong at all times. When encountering something that he didn't understand, Jiang You was not afraid of Yan Wenzhong, who had a big temper, and asked his doubts directly when he was in the gap.
Although Yan Wenzhong often gets angry during the filming process, he is also quite kind when Jiang You asks questions, and he does not hide his answers to Jiang You at all, and even Lu Li, who is on the side, has gained a lot.
Finally, after a few mistakes, the tacit understanding of the crew improved a lot, and the first scene was quickly filmed.
The first day of filming didn't go fast, and the first day ended like this after shooting a few more scenes in the afternoon.
In this way, Lu Li studied directing and filming in the crew during the day, and returned to his residence at night to update the novel and save the manuscript. Of course, even in the crew, Lu Li did not leave behind the vocal practice and physical exercise that he had always insisted on.
As the shooting continued, there were also some shots that were too far away from his mind, and Lu Li bluntly proposed them to Yan Wenzhong after watching them.
After listening to Lu Li's suggestion, Yan Wenzhong tried to take a picture according to what Lu Li said, and after reading it, he found that it was really better, and he began to be impressed by this online writer for the first time. For many times in the future, the crew could see Yan Wenzhong, Lu Li and Jiang You discussing important scenes together.
As everyone continues to run in, there is more and more tacit understanding, and the pace of shooting is getting faster and faster. During this period, he also left Hengdian to shoot several exterior scenes.
Two months later, Lu Li felt that he had almost learned everything he should have learned, and he had observed some large-scale scenes several times, so he had the intention of leaving. But on the day Lu Li was about to leave, an extras caught Lu Li's attention.
The crew needed extras, so a staff member issued a recruitment announcement in Hengdian.
Lu Li noticed that this person had failed several times after applying for the job, which made Yan Wenzhong furious, and finally let this person get out.
But when Lu Li saw the person who was about to leave in frustration, he stopped him.
"Hey, this friend, wait." Lu Li shouted.
"Hello, are you calling me?" The man turned his head to look at Lu Li and asked suspiciously.
"Well, yes, I see that you are more compatible, so I will talk to you." Lu Li said with a smile when he heard this.
"Little brother smiled, I can't even play a trick, what is there to talk about." Lu Qiang laughed self-deprecatingly when he heard Lu Li's words, but when he saw Lu Li's sincere smile, he didn't leave immediately.
"What's this, anyone does everything to see whether it is suitable or not, if you can't play the trick, maybe it's just that you're not suitable for acting." Lu Li heard Lu Qiang's words and said.
"Little brother, there is some truth in this, I don't know what to call it?" Lu Qiang looked at this person who was much younger than himself, and asked.
"Oh, boy Lu Li, I made you smile." Lu Li said.
"Heh, I didn't expect that we are still our own family, my name is Lu Qiang." Lu Qiang laughed when he heard Lu Li's words.
Lu Li smiled when he heard this, and then said, "Then I'll call you Brother Qiang." I also watched Brother Qiang's performance just now, but it's not bad, it's just that you have a temperament that ordinary people don't have, and it is this that makes the people you play look like ordinary people, which naturally makes the director angry. ”
"Really? How did I not find anything special about me? Hearing Lu Li's words, Lu Qiang asked suspiciously.
"The authorities are fascinated, the bystanders are clear, and it is natural that Brother Qiang did not find out." Lu Li said: "I don't know what Brother Qiang does, how did he think of coming to play tricks?" ”
"I'm not afraid of Lu Li's jokes, I just returned to China, and I don't have money to eat if I don't mix well abroad. After returning to China, I heard that extras were being recruited here, so I wanted to come and eat a mouthful of food, but I didn't expect that this meal was not suitable for me. Lu Qiang heard Lu Li's question and smiled bitterly.
"I don't know if Brother Qiang has been a manager before?" Lu Li saw that Lu Qiang didn't want to say it directly, so he simply asked directly. Because he had just discovered that Lu Qiang had a unique temperament that only long-term senior managers would have.
"Since Brother Lu Li, you have asked like this, then I will tell you the truth, I am actually one of the initiators of the temporary theater chain in Chinatown, but I was calculated that I fell short, so I returned to China." Lu Qiang said.
"I see, so let's do it, today the two of us are also fateful, so I'll be the east and invite you to have a meal, okay?" Lu Li said when he heard this.
"Okay, I'm not afraid of Lu Li's jokes, I really haven't eaten today." Lu Qiang smiled a little embarrassedly.
"Okay, you wait for me first, and I'll go and say to the director." After Lu Li made up his mind, he returned to the crew and said hello to the director, and after finding Lu Qiang, he invited Lu Qiang to have a meal in a restaurant in Hengdian.
And Lu Li asked for Lu Qiang's phone number before parting, and then left the crew after staying in the crew for a day, preparing to return to Huahai.
"Shooting the Condor" has been filmed for most of the time now, and after continuous discussions with Lu Li, Yan Wenzhong's current shooting is basically the same as the 83 version of the Condor in Lu Li's mind. The difference is that compared with the 83 version of the Condor Shooting, the current one is much better in terms of martial arts effects and shooting skills, and I believe it will be a very exciting TV series.
And there is a very strict director Yan Wenzhong's checks, Lu Li believes that the films shot later may be a little different from the picture in his mind, but it will not be too big, after all, each director has his own style of filming, and it is impossible to be exactly the same.
And Jiang You had to continue to stay in the crew until the end of the filming of "Shooting the Condor".
