Chapter 491: Documentary on the Set (3)
After dinner in the tent, the film crew began preparations again. What needs to be filmed tonight is that Xiao Qiao entered Cao's camp alone, taking advantage of Cao Cao's infatuation with him, delaying time as much as possible, and gaining a time difference for Liu Sun's coalition army, which could attack Cao Cao's base camp with fire attack.
Although Zixi is not a member of the film crew, let alone an actor in this film, he stayed here to watch the shooting, but no one stopped him. Even Mr. Han, chairman of China Film Group, one of the producers, just smiled lightly, not minding that an outsider was here to watch.
When everyone left the tent to prepare, only Director Wu and Zixi, who were still watching the filming scene for a while, were left. One was intently looking at the field notes in his hand, and the other was so bored that he didn't know what to do. It's not good to go out and get in the way of someone else's work.
Boredom, Zixi had to look at the facilities in the tent again, in addition to installing multiple monitors and some photographic equipment, there were some scattered props. Zixi suddenly found that next to a pile of props and weapons, there was a set of black armor, which was the kind of helmet with a shield. Zixi, who has always liked armor, walked over involuntarily and squatted on the ground to take a look.
"What? Like this armor? Director Wu asked with a chuckle when he saw Zixi's actions.
"Just look at it." Zixi picked up the armor, weighed the weight, estimated that it was about thirty catties, and said, "It's so heavy, this set of armor seems to be genuine." ”
"Of course, this armor was originally built as a tiger and leopard general. It's because it's too heavy, and the actor wears it, and it is difficult to even raise his hand, let alone wield a knife and gun. So it's been thrown here all the time, and it can only be used for the most reluctant propaganda. ”
Zixi was excited to see the hunt, and said to Director Wu: "Uncle Wu, can I give it a try?" ”
Director Wu glanced at it a few times, nodded and said, "If you think it's suitable, try it, and throw it here anyway." ”
Zixi took off the suit on his body, even the white shirt and trousers, and began to put this suit of armor from the inner lining, robe and skirt armor one by one. Due to Zixi's experience in wearing various armors, although this set of armor ridden by the tiger and leopard is relatively alternative, wrapped more tightly, and the weight is not light, it is not difficult for Zixi. It took him only twenty minutes to put on his full suit of armor, even the riding boots with thin pieces of iron on his feet. Putting on a helmet and covering half of his face made Zixi look like his whole person was full of a murderous aura. Director Wu, who was sitting on the side, felt it and looked up at him.
"Huh! It's pretty good. Director Wu circled around Zixi a few times with interest, and said with a smile: "I once watched a video of you wearing Mingguang armor that was circulating on the Internet before, and I thought you looked like an ancient general at that time. I didn't expect to stand in front of me now, and the impact was still so huge. ”
Zixi has a good figure, strong and tall, and has an extraordinary temperament, even if he covers half of his face, he can still make people feel his nobility and awe-inspiring. Now wearing black armor, the bright eyes that shine through the mask are intimidating.
Director Wu flipped through the props a few times, found a saber carved with black classical patterns and gem-decorated scabbards, handed it to Zixi, and said, "Wear it and take a look, this is a real guy, except that there is no blade." ”
Wearing the sword, Zixi's momentum is even better. Just now, I could feel a murderous aura, but now what I felt from him was domineering, the kind of domineering that rushed to kill in the midst of thousands of troops and horses.
Director Wu looked very satisfied, picked up a nearly three-meter-long black iron spear from the weapon rack, sent it to Zixi, and said, "Take this spear and show it to me once." ”
After Zixi was dressed neatly, he already had the urge to go out and find a horse to whip and gallop. Now with a sword and a spear, like a copy of an elite "tiger and leopard rider" knight, how can he not feel his blood boiling?
Although there is no complete historical record of the origin and development of the tiger and leopard cavalry, it is generally speculated that the tiger and leopard cavalry was used as a cavalry guard among Cao Cao's direct cavalry, and until the Battle of Guanzhong, it was still born and died with Cao Cao. It can be seen from the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" that it is not an exaggeration to describe the tiger and leopard riding as the elite of the elite.
In the Battle of Nanpi, Yuan Tan died at the hands of the tiger and leopard riders. During the northern expedition to Wuhuan, Cao Chun led the tiger and leopard cavalry on the battlefield to behead Wuhuan Shan Yu Dun. Went out to Jingzhou and defeated Liu Bei at Changban Slope after a long-distance attack, if it weren't for Liu Da'er, who was born to run first, running fast, I am afraid it is very likely to become the fate of Yuan Tan and Badun. In addition, it defeated the Xiliang Ma Chao Army and broke Zhang Fei and Wu Lan's troops, or the tiger and leopard cavalry. Therefore, this cavalry was far more brilliant than the once famous White Horse Yicong and Xiliang Iron Cavalry, but unfortunately they were all drowned in the dust of history.
Follow Director Wu out of the tent and to the manger where the horses are housed. Because of the filming of this kind of ancient war movie, the war horse is a necessary prop that cannot be found. Moreover, most of these war horses have undergone strict training, and some of them are imported from foreign countries, which are expensive, so the price of renting them once is not cheap.
Director Wu, under the suspicious gaze of several horsemen who specialize in managing horses, asked Zixi to choose his favorite war horse. The horses all thought that Zixi was an important actor from where, and they actually needed the director to personally bring and select horses, which was the first time since the start of filming.
Zixi chose a pure black Arabian horse with a slender and toned body. The head is short and the neck is long, the skull is high and plump, the back and waist are short and powerful, the skull is long, the tail base is high, and the tendons of the limbs are well developed. When the horseman hung a saddle on the horse and put on a thin set of vests, the whole horse became mighty.
Director Wu nodded with satisfaction again, pointed to the war horse, and said to Zixi: "Ride up, run a few laps outside for me to see." ”
Of course, Zixi would not refuse, got on the horse, stroked the horse's neck, and whispered something in the horse's ear, so that the horses who saw it were amazed. This is something that only people who are familiar with horses do, and this is the best way to communicate with horses. Although Arabian horses are very intelligent horses and gentle and kind. But animals are always animals, and they also have a certain wildness, if they do not communicate well, they will be forced to ride, stimulate the wild nature of the horses, and run around, it is easy to bump the rider off the horse's back and cause injury.
Zixi rode on the horse, pacing slowly, not in a hurry at all, he had to communicate with the horse well, and then he would ride it at a gallop.
When Director Wu saw this, his heart couldn't help but move, and then he didn't care that Zixi was exchanging feelings with the horses, and ran away in a puff of smoke, so that those horses had to sigh that the directors of the original age could run so fast, not inferior to those young men in the army.
Zixi and the horses circled around the stable several times before leaving, slowly running towards the large square outside. This is where the army is gathered, a very large square. Since it is not yet time for extras to shoot, most of the extras are sitting around the eaves of some buildings, or around the perimeter of the fence to chat and fart, which makes the vast square empty.
"Da... Da... Da... Da... Da... The sound of horses galloping at a rapid speed attracted the attention of everyone around, because the film crew had strict rules that horses could not be ridden at high speed without permission, especially in places where there were no horse guards and large crowds around, it was absolutely forbidden to do so. But suddenly a fast horse ran out at high speed, and on the horse's back sat a knight with a full armor, a sword at his waist, and a spear in his hand, like black lightning, which caused a stir on the spot. Even actors such as Zhang Fengyi and Lin Chiling, who were preparing to shoot, couldn't help but focus on this knight.
Director Wu ran over panting, and an assistant director saw him coming, and immediately pointed to the black knight who was still running in a circle and said, "Director Wu, we must stop him, otherwise it will be easy to have an accident." ”
Director Wu ignored him, ran to the place where several photographers gathered, and shouted to them: "Turn on the camera, aim at which knight, and film his movements without missing a trace." ”
Several photographers were also watching the knights in the field play excellent riding skills, and were discussing who this was, who dared to commit crimes against the wind in front of so many people. Hearing Director Wu's words, he couldn't react for a while, and pointed to the middle of the field and said, "Shoot him?" ”
"Yes, hurry up!" Director Wu didn't even explain, and pointed to the knight in the field and said, "Hurry up, don't miss any details." ”
They were all professionals, and several photographers immediately took the cameras and ran with their assistants, distributed around the square, and even the track cameras with the railroad tracks began to operate, all aimed at the black knights speeding in the field.
Mr. Han, who had already been alarmed, also hurried out, and saw Director Wu directing at the scene, and he didn't mean to stop any knight at all. Out of trust in the director, Mr. Han did not move, but discussed with several actors and assistant directors who rushed around him.
"Who is this? Is that the actor? Mr. Han saw that all the actors were nearby, frowned, and said, "It won't be those soldiers in today's army, right?" Don't their commanders care? ”
"Probably not, right? The troops are all disciplined, and no one dares to do such a bold thing without an order. If you look at Director Wu, it seems that he is leading all this. The second director, Director Zhang, looked at Director Wu and said.
Mr. Han thought about it, nodded, his eyes swept over Director Wu, and then looked at Zhang Fengyi, Liang Chaowei, Lin Zhiling, Zhao Wei and others who were also watching on the side. Suddenly, Mr. Han noticed that there was one person missing, his eyes widened, and he looked at the knight who began to dance the spear on the horse, and his heart suddenly burst, and he said to himself: "It can't be him, right?" ”
Director Wu, who was directing the camera, shouted to a field reporter: "Prepare straw men, evenly distributed around the perimeter." ”
The field reporter immediately led people to the prop warehouse, pulled more than a dozen straw figures over with a trolley, and erected them around the fence. And the extras scattered around, as well as some of the actors in the movie, heard the news and rushed over from all over to see what was going on. After all, this is a very rare scene, and it is rare to see in normal times.
