Chapter 0259 Build a Street
Faced with the concern of the leading actor Han Lan, a group of stuntmen also smiled and said that it was okay.
They are all professionals, how could they be injured by a little fresh meat? Even if you really accidentally touch it, it won't get in the way.
Han Lan didn't continue to ramble, beckoning to shoot the next set of shots.
This scene of one dozen and twenty is composed of nearly 20 sets of shots, and the actual shooting is not all down, basically one or two people are a group of shots. And then add the close-ups of the stuntmen being kicked and falling to the ground, as well as various collisions, all of which need to be broken down and filmed.
Sometimes you have to shoot again when the effect is not good.
Therefore, this one-minute or so martial arts scene, not counting the prior action guidance and rehearsal, took more than two hours to shoot alone.
In fact, the most troublesome thing in the whole movie is the martial arts scene, less than five minutes after the movie started, there was a dozen and twenty, and the gang in the back will find a field, Huo Daxia kicks the hall, you come and I fight all kinds of fights, and finally fight with foreign strongmen and JP samurai.
There are a lot of martial arts scenes, and the feeling of fighting exciting, real, and punching to the flesh gives people a lot of blood boiling.
This is the selling point that Han Lan hopes to be able to distinguish from most of the costume areas on the market, that is, to fight!
Huaguo Kung Fu pays attention to "stopping fighting", so many kung fu movies in the previous life began to say that "violence cannot solve the problem", because Huaguo Kung Fu at that time had already become popular, and it was no longer possible to continue to develop by playing alone, so it was necessary to dig out some deeper thoughts.
But not in this world, Chinese kung fu has not become popular in this world, if you want to be popular, you must fight, play your own style and characteristics.
Otherwise, why do people look at such an unpopular theme? It's better to watch the costume show of the little fresh meat.
After playing in Jinmen for two days, Xia Ningxuan entered the set at the instigation of Han Lan to make a cameo appearance as a little girl who sold vegetables, and returned to Lin'an after experiencing the addiction of filming.
Filming is very hard, during this time, it is basically from 8 o'clock in the morning to 10 o'clock in the evening, and sometimes I have to get up early to shoot scenes in the early morning.
Xia Ningxuan didn't want to distract Han Lan, so she went back to help him stare at the arrangement of "The Great Wall Will Never Fall".

"Han Shuai."
Director Qi Shan and producer Kong Xiujie found Han Lan, who was sitting in the makeup studio to touch up her makeup and rest by the way.
"Huh? What's wrong? β
The two glanced at each other, and Qi Shan smiled: "Han Shuai, I have an idea, but Brother Kong doesn't agree with it, so as soon as the two of us sum it up, I'll come to you here to ask what you mean." β
Han Lan raised his eyes to look at the two of them, and Kong Xiujie also nodded.
"What thoughts?"
"That's Han Shuai, according to the setting in the script, we need a street in the style of the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, especially a restaurant."
"Hmm, so what?"
"There is no one in Jinmen Film and Television City, I have looked at other film and television cities, and I have not found the style you requested. After all, there are too few crews filming the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China in China, and most of the costume films are filmed during the heyday of the Ming and Qing dynasties or earlier. Qi Shan explained.
"Can't find it?"
"Yes, I couldn't find a suitable scene at all. So I mean, can we build one ourselves? Qi Shan suggested with some humility.
"Build a street?"
Han Lan was also slightly stunned when she heard this, but fortunately she couldn't help but move, otherwise the makeup artist would have drawn crookedly.
"Yes, Han Shuai!"
"Han Shuai, this is unrealistic, even if you just want a faΓ§ade, it will cost at least five million to build the entire street! In addition, the star-picking building for shooting interior scenes, it can't be built without 10 million! Han Shuai, our film investment is only 50 million, and it is impossible to spend 10 million to build a street for those few shots! Kong Xiujie also raised his own objections.
"Brother Kong, that's not a matter of a few shots, the nearly twenty-minute scenes of the whole movie are on the ancient streets, especially a martial arts scene to be filmed in the Star Picking Building." Qi Shan explained.
"There is an old street of the Qing Dynasty in the No. 1 shooting base that can be used for framing, and it looks almost the same!"
"It is modeled after the middle of the Qing Dynasty, with a history of almost two hundred years in the middle, and the style is much worse!" Qi Shan didn't care about his identity as a newcomer at all, and argued with reason.
"What do you say over there?" Han Lan interrupted their argument and asked.
"There is an old street in the No. 1 filming base of the film and television city that needs to be renovated, and I have communicated with them that they can contract to renovate it, but they are not willing to pay, so they only say that they can waive the rent we paid for filming on that street." Kong Xiujie replied.
"So after the filming, the ownership of the old street still belongs to them?"
"Yes. There is no way, the land and the property are in their hands, and we can only redecorate at best. And there are too few movies suitable for this style of scene, basically we will rarely have other crews to rent after filming, and we can only use it as a tourist attraction later, and there is also to fill in some gaps in the scene. It's also a loss for the film and television city, and it's good that they're willing to let us renovate. It's hard for me to get more. Kong Xiujie said calmly.
Han Lan thought for a while and said, "Let's fight for it again, the ownership right can't be obtained, at least the right to use it can be fought for again, if they can agree to our company to use it for free in the future, we can consider building one." β
Kong Xiujie nodded: "Five years of free use and ten years of priority rental, I think we can try to fight for it." But Han Shuai, you have to think clearly, if this 10 million is smashed, our crew's funds may not be enough. β
"You can contact the company and try to chase the investment. This is the first step we made in the film, and we can be a little nitpicky, but we can't settle for it. Han Lan said.
Kong Xiujie also nodded, he was not against Qi Shan's disobedience, he was just out of the responsibility of a producer to control the use of the crew's funds.
Now that the boss has agreed, let's build it.
Qi Shan next to him was also excited: "Han Shuai, I think our movie will definitely be popular!" Just rely on our intentions and uncompromising, if this is not popular, it will be intolerable! β
"Don't flag me. Lao Qi, you have to think clearly in your own heart, the company threw so much money into it, if this movie fails, you can't escape the responsibility of the director. Han Lan reminded him with a smile, not wanting him to get carried away.
After all, a rookie director suddenly takes over a big production of tens of millions, and all kinds of conditions are enough, it is inevitable that he will be a little fluttering.
Qi Shan hurriedly promised: "Han Shuai, don't worry, I will definitely use 200% of my strength and energy to shoot this movie!" β
"Well, let's go, let's shoot the next scene."
