Chapter One Hundred and Three. [The "bathing scene" that makes people's eggs hurt]
In the venue, Yi Feiyang asked people to pave the shooting track, set up a crane arm on the snow, and two cameras went up and down, one person shot a close shot, and one person shot a long shot.
When the track was paved and the actors were buried, Yi Feiyang instructed people to block the snow light in the snow so as not to reflect the light on the lens.
When all this was done, the audience told everyone in the audience through the loudspeaker that the 10-second countdown began.
"Ten, Nine, Eight,......"
There was silence on the field, and everyone pricked up their ears, waiting for Yi Feiyang to give the best order.
For the first time, these guys, who are used to making small adult films, feel the urgency of making movies.
Yes, this is filming!
This is a real filmmaker!
"Three, two, one, let's shoot!" Yi Feiyang shouted, and the camera camera immediately focused on the elk, and the staff behind the scenes, with thick branches, swept the snow off the camera, drove the elk and made it start running.
This pregnant elk is an "actor" that Yi Feiyang borrowed from a nearby zoo for Rabbit Bill, and because he has been in the zoo for a long time, he is not afraid of humans at all, watching the staff rushing to sweep the snow, it gracefully moves its calves and strolls leisurely on the snow......
Walking, walking, this elk occasionally buried its head in eating a few bites of weeds exposed in the snow, and then glanced at the depressed staff home with beautiful eyes, as if to say, what are these stupid forks doing with branches, don't think that the old lady will be afraid!
Yi Feiyang touched his chin, and after a thousand calculations, he didn't expect this elk to be so faceless. Test. Let you run. You play snow romance for me, okay, you wait for me!
"That's who, who, you're in charge of blasting, aren't you? Shoot that! Yi Feiyang pointed to the doe.
Demolitionist: "But...... The elk is a protected animal, and besides, we borrowed it from the zoo! ”
"Stupid! I didn't let you shoot it, I just scared it and made it hoof! ”
The demolitionist understood. Then he took out the starting pistol in that kind of sport, and with a bang, it resounded through the snow.
The doe, who was still reserved and noble, chewing weeds on her legs, shook violently, and then rushed wildly.
"Quick, quick, use the camera to catch the speed of its running! Note that the machine on the boom must be shot at a dive angle......"
Yi Feiyang constantly adjusts the angle of the shooting location and the details that the camera needs to capture.
At this time, Yi Feiyang suddenly thought. It would be nice if there was a helicopter, from top to bottom. Follow-up shooting. But on second thought, this is just a low-budget erotic film, and there is no need to make it a Hollywood blockbuster...... However, I really want to try that kind of shooting method in the future, take a helicopter, fly non-stop for nine days, and it must be very enjoyable to shoot!
The footage of the elk running was very good, at least when watching the replay, Yi Feiyang couldn't find anything to modify; What's more, if he wants to let the doe with a big belly "run at the end of the road" again, Yi Feiyang is also a little unbearable, change the position and think about it, let himself run desperately with the child in his belly, and it is estimated that he will run to death in two laps!
The camera on the track was all on Abraham as the elk was running, to be precise, to capture his every move, his eyes, his expressions, and the subtle action of pulling the trigger and letting go of it......
Abraham is definitely the oldest "three good students", Yi Feiyang only taught him once, and he mastered everything he wanted to create the role.
Yes, he did a great job!
The calmness and ruthlessness at the beginning of the hunt, the unbearable feeling of finding that she was pregnant after aiming at the doe, and the kindness of releasing a shot at the end of the day are very layered.
Abraham's excellent performance made the original prelude long, but the actual shooting only took seven or eight minutes, in short, the shooting went very smoothly.
Next, the residents of the filming town come running over and tell him the news that his last son has also been killed in the European battlefield, and Abraham plays George Sr. who is heartbroken.
This crying scene was also filmed very well.
I don't know if Abraham was oppressed for too long before, or if he was tortured too hard by life, Yi Feiyang took the microphone and shouted, as soon as he started crying, his muddy tears gushed out of his eyes, like water from a faucet, along the old face like orange peel, flowing out of two routes......
Such exquisite crying skills are amazing.
Even Yi Feiyang was stunned and inexplicable, and even wondered if this old man had some golden finger and hung up?
Otherwise, how can you say cry and cry?!
When asked why, he said that he remembered his favorite wife!
At that moment, Yi Feiyang suddenly thought, it seems that the death of his wife is not necessarily a bad thing!
After filming Abraham's crying scene, Yi Feiyang quickly began to film the town's residents' discussions about the war and their various reactions to the battlefield. These extras who have not received professional training actually performed the mentality of their respective roles vividly, so Yi Feiyang was very satisfied, basically passed it all over once, and by the time all the shots were finished, it was not even 12 o'clock.
"Easy! I'm convinced! I've been in Hollywood for so long, and I've never seen a director who makes such a wonderful and quick film! The bearded photographer gave Yi Feiyang a thumbs up.
After this scene, Yi Feiyang's calm on-the-spot command, scene scheduling ability, grasp of the camera and excavation of the actors, completely conquered all the people of the TOP company and established the most directorial authority.
Listening to the bearded compliment, Yi Feiyang just smiled, this kind of filming speed is already very low-level for Hong Kong people.
You must know that Lu Dao is filming in Hong Kong, and that kind of speed is absolutely rocket-like. Generally speaking, the filming of a drama in one month is already considered "long", and the shortest seven or eight days can be completed.
For example, Wang Jing, a famous fast gunner director in Hong Kong, filmed his most classic "God of Gamblers", but it only took 13 days, just to grab the schedule of Zhou Runfa.
Maybe at this time, some people will say that those are Hong Kong fast food movies that don't need to be crafted. It's a rough rush job. Not really. Although as the saying goes, "slow work makes fine work". But for a movie, if it is not necessarily slow, it will be good......
Of course, freaks like Wang Jiawei will be eliminated first. Like the classic Hong Kong comedy "East Becomes West", which was praised by countless people in the future, it only took 27 days to shoot.
Therefore, as a Hong Kong person with first-class filming speed, Yi Feiyang has entered the perfect state for filming speed.
"Bill. What shots are you going to shoot in the afternoon? Yi Feiyang was still unsatisfied, and turned his face to Bill the rabbit and said.
Bill, the rabbit who acted as the producer, immediately flipped through the storyboard in his hand and said with a grin: "I want to shoot the scene where Stormy bathes in the nearby creek, and the crying scene where she silently says goodbye to her family at night." ”
Yi Feiyang nodded, and said to the field record: "Announce the end of work, call Boss Henry, and ask him to prepare more food, we have to work overtime tonight!" ”
……
Inside the tent, Yi Feiyang took off his coat and lay down on the chair to rest with his eyes closed, although it was not the first time he had been a director. But this is the first time to shoot such a big scene.
To know Lu Dao, Yi Feiyang's "Ghost Shadow Record". There are only a few actors, and they can be counted on their fingers. The site is just that big, an old building, that's all. It's like nowadays, not to mention the main actors, there are more than a dozen people, and those extras, all of which add up to hundreds of them.
This time the investment is more than 300,000 yuan, and the most investment in the scenes filmed by Yi Feiyang in the past is only 70,000 or 80,000 yuan. In the past, when filming horror films, the requirements for character portrayal were not too high, mainly to create the atmosphere of that kind of drama. Ring", in comparison, Yi Feiyang feels "pressured" a lot.
So, at this time, he was lying in a chair, looking like he was resting, but as soon as he closed his eyes, a series of breakdowns appeared in his mind.
"Director, may I come in?" A gentle voice floated in.
Yi Feiyang sat up from his chair and found that it was Stormy standing in front of him.
"What's the matter?"
Stormy held the script and said cautiously: "That's right, I'm a little worried about the afternoon and evening scenes. ”
Yi Feiyang picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, turned his face and asked, "What are you doing?" ”
"I don't think I can shoot well." Stormy's face was worried.
Yi Feiyang pointed to the chair in front of her, asked her to sit down, and said with a smile: "Stormy, in fact, filming is very simple, the key is to substitute, when I shouted to start filming, you just thought of yourself as Rachel, to be honest, the bathing scene in the afternoon is not very difficult, and the crying scene at night is your woman's strength, I really don't understand, what do you have to worry about?" ”
"That's right, director, in the past, the scenes I filmed basically only needed to show sex appeal and charm, but this time the script requires crying when they are separated......"
"Yes, mainly to express that Rachel is about to leave this town and go to the battlefield in place of her father, and there are a lot of worries in her heart, but she can't say that kind of emotion." Yi Feiyang explained.
"I know that, but damn it, I can't cry!"
"Ah, what did you say? You won't cry?! Yi Feiyang was stunned.
"Yes, I'm a strange person, although I'm a girl, I have a strong personality, and I haven't cried much since I was a child...... Oh my God, I've almost forgotten what tears are like. ”
This time it was Yi Feiyang's turn to cry and laugh.
At the beginning, he fell in love with Rachel because of the manly perseverance hidden in her eyes, but now this perseverance has become a stumbling block, and she can't even cry!
"Ahem, you can think about the dead kittens and puppies in your own house......"
"I'm sorry, I never had these things!"
"Huh?" Yi Feiyang's mouth opened wide, "What about your deceased relatives, there are always them, right?" ”
"Almost all of them left with a smile on their faces, and we all laughed when the body said goodbye."
Yi Feiyang was completely speechless.
"You try to think about it, yes, there must be something that makes you very unhappy, heartbroken, and then you step in and tears come out...... Look at old Abraham, cry when he says he cries, and he still cries and dies and lives, how good and dedicated! ”
"So what do you mean...... Shall I ask him for a trick on crying scenes? ”
"Well, your humble attitude of seeking advice and learning is very good, go ahead, I wish you success!"
Yi Feiyang kept cheering her up, and the little hoof's face gradually improved, and then got up to say goodbye and went to old Abraham to ask for crying skills.
Yi Feiyang lay down again, and after a while, the phone next to him rang.
The call was from the fat man Gao Jiabao, saying that Lionsgate had sent a message that the box office revenue of "Blair the Witch" had been settled, and the big boss Gusta hoped that Yi Feiyang would be able to attend the celebration banquet held by the company tomorrow night, which of course would be regarded as a Christmas dinner.
Yi Feiyang has a headache, the new drama on his side has just started filming, and he will engage in this kind of plane over there, but if he doesn't go, he just won't give the other party a face...... Of course, the most important thing is that Yi Feiyang is desperate to get the account in hand, and he has been waiting for more than half a year.
Therefore, after thinking about it for a while, Yi Feiyang is absolutely going to go tomorrow night!
got Yi Feiyang's reply, and the fat man Gao Jiabao was super happy!
Nonsense, as the financial director of Dream Pictures, he dreams of sleeping with 24 million yuan.
Bills, bills, you're more energetic than a woman!
This is the life motto of the fat man.
……
At the beginning of the afternoon shooting, this scene is mainly about "Rachel" played by Stormy taking a bath by the river, suddenly hearing gunshots from the forest, and then hurriedly getting dressed.
For a more glamorous shot like this, it is necessary to clear the scene when shooting, especially not to let too many men stay nearby.
In this regard, Yi Feiyang is familiar with the road, and directly arranged for people to block the four sides of the venue, and only let the photographer and other technical personnel stay in the venue.
However, something happened when it was actually filmed, not because there were men peeking at the rules, but because the river was too cold and Stormy had no experience in winter swimming.
Being an actor is so hard, not to mention bathing in the river in winter, more often you have to soak in the water seven or eight times, which can freeze you into eggplant.
Yi Feiyang didn't want to be so cruel, let alone a girl, even a man may not be able to take off his clothes and go into the water in such a cold weather.
However, according to the requirements of the script, there are also character settings, the girl "Rachel" is from Orion, has a healthy body, and is not the kind of girl who can't help but be weak.
In order to cheer up Stormy, Yi Feiyang beckoned Bill the Rabbit and a few other men, and took off his clothes first to test the water temperature.
Rabbit Bill was dumbfounded, and now he understands that he is definitely a hard job as an assistant director. I originally thought that I could watch some fragrant pictures near the water and see how the beauties dedicated, but I didn't expect that Xiangyan didn't see it, and I had to dedicate myself to everyone first!
