Chapter 112 Shooting
The day after returning from the hospital, Lu Li came to the crew to watch the scenes that Jiang You had filmed.
Lu Li didn't expect that Jiang You would start shooting before he came back, so he naturally had to test it and see how the shooting went.
After reading it, Lu Li nodded with satisfaction, although Jiang You is a rookie director, firstly, Jiang You University has a famous teacher to guide him, secondly, he learned a lot of things from Director Yan Wenzhong when he was in the crew of "Shooting the Condor", and thirdly, with the help of Jiang Wei, an experienced director, the things filmed are also very good.
After comparing with the pictures in his mind, Lu Li was still very satisfied with most of the pictures. However, there is a scene where Lu Li asks to overturn the reshoot, which is the scene where the Dragon Slayer Knife is escorted.
Although Jiang You's scene was filmed according to his own script, Lu Li felt that the number of people was too small after watching it, and the scene was a little stingy.
"Jiang You, let's reshoot this scene, the extras will do more tricks, and the bigger the scene, the better." After reading it, Lu Li said to Jiang You who was standing next to him.
"Okay, at first, I wanted to recruit more people, but for cost reasons, I didn't recruit many people. Since you said that you want to shoot a big scene, then it's no problem, anyway, you are a big tyrant. After Jiang You finished saying this joke, he asked someone to recruit extras.
Lu Li smiled when he heard this, but did not answer this question.
The efficiency of the crew is still good, and many extras were soon recruited back.
"Let's let them change their clothes and put on makeup first, and then let's start shooting." Lu Li said to Jiang You.
"Hey, I said, in the end am I the director or you are the director, what kind of order do you give me as an assistant director here, go aside." Jiang You had forgotten about yesterday's incident at this time, and shouted at Lu Li.
But having said that, Jiang You quickly ordered the makeup artist and costume artist to quickly arrange makeup and change clothes for these extras.
Lu Li saw that Jiang You temporarily let go of the guilt in his heart yesterday, and he also put his mind at ease.
The make-up requirements for these extras in this scene are not very complicated, as long as they change into their unique clothes. But even so, it couldn't stand the crowd, and by the time everyone had changed their clothes, it was already afternoon. This is also a major problem for many costume dramas, and makeup and styling take longer than filming.
After eating, Jiang You came to the set, and when everything was ready, he shouted: "action" and started filming.
I saw a long dragon coming from afar on an official road. When I got closer, I saw clearly that there were people wearing various dragon head masks dancing in front of me, a bit like a wizard's practice, and like a ritual of dancing the gods.
Behind them is a group of dancers dressed in uniform and dancing in a staggered manner with their hands held high.
Behind the dancers, there are a large number of burly men with strong bodies, pulling the ropes the thickness of the baby's arms, and walking forward "hehe".
Looking further back, you can see that the rope is tied to a yellow cart, covered by a cloth, and I don't know what is inside. On both sides of the car were heroic soldiers with a wary expression.
"Wait, Jiang You, the dancing girl is here, it's messed up." Lu Li watched from the side, and suddenly said to Jiang You.
"Cards!" Jiang You heard Lu Li's words and shouted.
When there are more people, it is easier to mess up, especially since most of these people are extras, and it is difficult to achieve unity for the actions of some groups.
"In this section, pay attention to the neatness of your movements, and when everyone walks around, look at each other's movements on the left and right, and don't make any mistakes." After Jiang You shouted the card, he didn't use the director's loudspeaker, but walked to the dancer to explain it in person.
After Jiang You finished speaking, he returned to the director's position, and when he saw that the extras were ready, he shouted "action" again, and the shooting continued.
"Cards!" This time, there is no need for Lu Li to say, Jiang You himself saw that not only did the dancer's movements go wrong, but even the movements of the person wearing the dragon head mask who was walking in the front began to have problems.
"Cards!"
"Cards!"
"Cards!"
……
There are a lot of people, if there is no problem here, something will go wrong there. Although Jiang You filmed this scene quickly before, it was because there were few people at that time. After increasing the number of people at this time, Jiang You suffered and contacted NG several times, but he still didn't shoot well.
Lu Li looked at Jiang You's gloomy face, walked over and patted him on the shoulder.
Jiang You looked at Lu Li and shook his head. He and Lu Li are not very old, and they are not used to scolding people when they get angry, so most of the time when they encounter such a situation on the set, they hold it in their hearts and slowly resolve it, rather than scolding like some old directors.
"Let's rest for a while." Lu Li looked at Jiang You and said.
"Well, let's rest for a while." Jiang You nodded when he heard this, sat behind the camera and rubbed his temples.
Several times in a row, the extras also worked harder, and they all looked for a place to rest after hearing the order to rest.
Ten minutes later, Jiang You's mood was slightly better, and he began to continue shooting.
"This scene has been ng many times, and everyone has been resting for so long just now, I hope we can pass it again this time!" Jiang You sat in the director's seat, picked up the loudspeaker and said loudly.
Seeing that everyone is ready, the shooting starts again.
"Cards!" It's just that at the beginning, Jiang You shouted the card again.
"Forget it, Jiang You, let's shoot it separately, shoot the dragon head first, then shoot the dancer, and cut it together after the filming." Lu Li couldn't stand it beside him, so he suggested.
To Lu Li's surprise, Jiang You shook his head after listening to Lu Li's words: "Pear, this is my chance to progress, embark on this road, there will be a lot of big scenes in the future, and there will be more difficulties encountered, I can't retreat like this every time." ”
Lu Li's body shook when he heard Jiang You's words, and looking at Jiang You's firm eyes, Lu Li said in a half-loud voice: "It's that I'm going to give up my roots." At the same time, Lu Li also reminded himself in his heart that he must not have the idea of retreating when encountering such a situation in the future, and must face the difficulties.
"Son, well said, do it again!" Jiang Wei, who also served as an assistant director in the crew, heard Jiang You's words and looked at Jiang You with satisfaction and praised.
"Well, okay, do it again!" When Jiang You heard Jiang Wei's words, he was also full of fighting spirit, sat down on the director's seat again, picked up the loudspeaker and shouted ahead.
Lu Li stood next to him and looked at Jiang You, who was full of fighting spirit, and laughed.
Maybe God has tested enough, this time the shooting went very smoothly, there was no mistake at all, just one time.
"Cards! It's over! When Jiang You's voice came out of the loudspeaker, the extras were excited, and they were also tired after filming for so long. Now that the task is complete, they can finish their wages and go to other crews to find new opportunities.
Naturally, there is a special person responsible for distributing the salaries to the extras, and at this moment, Lu Li, Jiang You, and Jiang Wei are all sitting at the camera watching the results just filmed.
Lu Li felt very satisfied after watching it, it was better than the picture in his mind, and it was much more atmospheric.
"Okay, this scene is very good." Lu Li praised.
"Well, yes, it's much more spectacular than the scene I originally filmed, and thanks to the fact that you have to reshoot this one." Jiang You was also very satisfied after reading it, and said with a smile.
"It's none of my business, you put a lot of effort into filming this scene." After listening to Jiang You's words, Lu Li said. ng so many times, Lu Li looked at it from the side.
"Come on, shoot well, this is the beginning." Lu Li thought about it and said.
"yes, I know." When Jiang You heard this, he said firmly.
"Then let's call it a day today, it's not too early." After watching the film, Lu Li stood up and looked at the sky, and said.
This is the case with filming, especially when NG appears during filming, which is time-consuming, so many directors often get angry on set. In fact, the director is also angry because he is under a lot of pressure and is very irritable, and if he encounters a situation where he has been ng, the anger is even greater. It's not that directors are born with tantrums and scolding, but directors also need to vent to relieve the pressure in their hearts.
"Well, then call it a day, start again tomorrow, and strive to speed up the progress, otherwise I don't know how long it will take to shoot this "Yitian" if it continues to be delayed." Jiang You said when he heard this.
Lu Li also felt the same way, "Yitian" has been delayed for a long time from the beginning of raising funds, to the establishment of the crew, to the start of filming, and there was an accident soon after the start of filming and it was delayed for a few days, so it really can't be delayed any longer.
In the next few days, Lu Li filmed with Jiang You in the crew, and from time to time put forward his own opinions for Jiang You's filming. Because he has the ready-made pictures in his mind for reference, with the help of Lu Li, Jiang You's shooting progress is much faster. There have also been a lot of improvements in directing skills.
Although Lu Li is named an assistant director, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the chief director sometimes on the set, and his directing skills are also improving, laying the foundation for him to shoot movies in the future.
The filming of "Yitian" is slowly getting on track, and everything is going on in an orderly manner.
Lu Li is also very busy now, busy filming "Yitian" during the day, and even sometimes in order to shoot special scenes, he has to shoot until late at night before he finishes work, or he has to get up very early. While others can rest after filming, Lu Li has to go back to the hotel to save the script.
On August 10th, it is an unusual day for the online literature industry, because Lu Li's "Zhu Xian" and the inconsistent "Xianyou" were on the shelves at the same time.
At the end of June, Lu left the new book to fight Xianxia, the ancient gods returned, and the new book Xianxia made an appointment to fight Lu Li, which shocked the eyes of everyone in the online literature industry at that time.
Since the beginning of the new book, the data of the two of them are among the two in terms of collections, clicks, and recommendations, and they can't compare who wins and who loses. And after it is put on the shelves, it is different, for the online literature industry, a very important proof of the author's strength is the monthly pass.
Many people are looking forward to the monthly ticket battle between Lu Li's new book "Zhu Xian" and the new book "Xianyou" in August.
