Chapter 500: The Crew
Now that the crew starts filming, they have to have a start-up ceremony, put on the incense table pig's head, at least get a roast chicken, and the main members have to bow on the field, praying for a smooth shooting or something.
These rules are said to have been brought over by the Hong Kong Island crew back then, and gradually the crews in the mainland have become popular, and there are even legends that the crew did not carry out the start-up ceremony, and various situations continued during the filming process.
Of course, there are also crews who have held start-up ceremonies, and the situation continues.
But it is really rare to say that there is a situation during the start-up ceremony like the crew of "Killing the God".
Don't look at the specifications boasted by the crew of "Slashing God", how many billions of investments, and how many celebrities joined, but the real start-up ceremony is not very big - after all, this kind of activity is called folk activities if it is small, and it is called feudal superstition if it is big, and no crew will publicize it to the outside world, at most it is just a few photos of Reuters on the Internet.
The process of the start-up ceremony of the crew of "Slaying God" first set up a temporary stage at the event venue, held a press conference, and several leading actors came out with makeup to make an appearance, and then the reporter withdrew, and the crew went to burn incense in front of the incense case built not far away.
The problem is when the incense is burned.
The director of the crew stood in front with a few leading actors, and the staff next to them handed them the incense that had been lit, each of them held three sticks and bowed three times, and then went up in turn and inserted them in the incense burner to finish the matter.
But just after bowing here, the director hasn't gone up to insert incense, but he finds that the incense stick has been extinguished!
This is not a sign of auspiciousness, the director immediately became angry, and the production director followed the annoyance and anger to catch the subordinates who were responsible for preparing the incense case and the incense sticks, and scolded them all over their faces, saying that the quality of the incense they bought was too poor.
But that subordinate is wronged, even if he wants to eat a kickback, he won't eat a kickback on this box of incense sticks for more than a dozen yuan, but he deliberately chose a good one.
But fortunately, he sold more than one kind of incense, so he hurriedly changed to another one for the director to light and send it over, and the people next to him also persuaded him, so everyone plugged in the incense.
But just when he was about to announce the end of the matter, suddenly a strong wind blew, and the poor incense case was laid out with a thick and long table circumference in order to look good, and as soon as the wind blew, the incense case fell down at once!
Now everyone's faces have changed, isn't this sign obvious enough?
But the problem is that this is a movie with an investment of hundreds of millions, and all the crew members have arrived at their posts, can you say that if you don't shoot, you won't shoot? How to explain to investors? As for the actors, the contracts have been signed, and there is no condition in the breach of contract clause that you can not perform if the start-up ceremony is not smooth.
For a while, everyone was dumbfounded for a long time, but after all, the director of the production jumped out to be a good old man, saying that this is all superstition and the like, and finally it was rounded, and everyone could only press the unpleasantness and continue to carry out the last item of the boot ceremony - boot.
The so-called boot, in fact, is nothing more than a long one, just find a simple lens to shoot, whether it can be used in the end or not, the main thing is that the picture is smooth.
The shot that was ready to be shot this time couldn't be simpler, that is, to shoot the back of the actor, carrying a sword on his back and walking away from near and far, not to mention the lines, not even a straight face.
The director held his breath in his heart, and sat down in front of the monitor without a good face, and then the camera lights were in place, and the director shouted loudly: "Turn on!" "Qi Yan reads
The camera began to record, and the actor began to walk, just a three-second shot, and it was enough to take five or six steps, but when the actor walked to the fifth step, he suddenly stumbled and almost fell!
"Cards!" The director was so angry that he dropped the microphone on the spot.
"What's going on? What's wrong? "The assistant director just went up and asked the actors.
The actor also scratched his head in confusion and said, "Who hit me just now......"
"Are you mistaken? Are you filming, and there's no one on camera? Is your foot weak, or slippery? The assistant director just said hurriedly.
Originally, today's start-up ceremony was not smooth enough, if the actor broke out like this again, wouldn't the crew be haunted? If the news gets out, it's a big joke.
"Maybe......" The actor is not stupid, and when he hears the words of the assistant director, he can only respond.
The assistant director hurriedly ran out to appease the director, replayed the shot just now, and said, "It's okay, it's okay, it's all great in front of this, and it's perfect to cut it." ”
The director also gritted his teeth, smacked his lips again, I have to say that most of the previous part was really well filmed, after all, this drama was finalized by him early on, and even the male and female protagonists were selected by him again and again, this guy is indeed very in line with the character setting, even if you just look at the back, you can already foresee that the shooting effect will not be bad.
There is no way, then it can only be like this.
So the crew announced that the startup was "smoothly" completed. The next thing is normal shooting, according to the plan, the filming period of this drama is about three months, in order to ensure that there are special circumstances during the filming process and the deadline is overdue, so the shooting time of three and a half months is specially set.
What is surprising is that the next shooting turned out to be extremely smooth, not only did the actors perform well, almost none of them brought NG, in most cases they were all over, and the weather was also quite powerful.
So in less than a month, the filming progress was almost halfway, but something happened again.
The first one who had an accident was a props group, a thirty-seven or eighteen-year-old carpenter, who was also an old man in this industry, and the things he made not only looked good, but also made the new tables, chairs and stools the same as the old ones.
This time his task is to build a ring, which is the ring where the apprentices compete in the plot of the movie, according to the plot, the protagonist will be beaten and climbed in the ring, and then suddenly awaken and blow up the ring directly with fighting spirit.
The most dangerous part of this scene is that when the ring is blown up, after all, it has to be blasted. And the carpenter was in the blasting, and was stabbed in the throat by a splashed broken wooden strip, and before the emergency call was opened, the person was already dead.
According to the footage shot by several cameras at the scene, the demolition team has been cleared, and all the actors have been evacuated - in the end, it is necessary to use special effects to integrate the personnel and the shooting blasting scenes, so there is no need to keep people on the scene at all.
But after the countdown to the explosion, the carpenter suddenly ran in from outside the camera, and shouted: "Wait, someone ......"
