Chapter 414. [Filming "God and Demon War"]

It is said that the action director of the play "Havoc in the Heavenly Palace" is Cheng Long's eldest brother, and Yi Feiyang also has great trust in him.

"Okay, Brother Long, I'm going to work hard for you now, I'll give you half an hour, it's best to design a set of routines with a strong sense of comedy, okay?"

Cheng Long patted his chest and promised: "No problem, I will definitely get it!" ”

Next, Cheng Long began to study the moves with the two martial artists. In the end, I finally came up with a set of plans.

In order to make the Monkey King vs the Giant Spirit God achieve a realistic effect, Cheng Long let Yi Feiyang hang in the air and keep flipping, and make various formations with other dragon monkeys. Cheng Long believes that with the animation effect of hanging wire, the martial arts design will be perfect. After Yi Feiyang tried it himself, he felt that the effect was good and praised it.

Then the filming officially began, but before starting, Yi Feiyang still solemnly introduced Cheng Long to Jordan.

Cheng Long is also a fan of Jordan, and he can't help but be happy when he sees his idol. And Jordan also likes Cheng Long's kung fu films, and the two met very happily, and soon became old friends who talked about everything.

During this period, Jordan also followed Cheng Long to learn the moves to be filmed. However, learning Chinese kung fu is much more difficult than learning to play basketball. In Jordan's words, "Oh my God, I think I have to have three heads and six arms, and yes, I can score a single goal, but I can't do a damn martial arts move!" “

For Jordan, a "stupid apprentice", Brother Cheng Long is still very patient. Finally, in response to Jordan's situation, Cheng Long said to him on a whim: "Dan, you put the hammer in your hand." Think of it as the basketball you're familiar with. Right. It's like this kind of ball-playing! Be handy and treat it as if it were a part of your body! ”

After getting Cheng Long's point, Jordan's hammer moves really improved by leaps and bounds. It soon reached a satisfactory level.

And at this time, this scene also officially started filming.

For this scene, Cheng Long, as a martial arts instructor, racked his brains, while Yi Feiyang and Jordan, who were the leading actors, suffered a lot.

Yi Feiyang hung on the tightrope for more than 3 hours, and there were many shots of the boom overhead, in addition to the high requirements for the leading actors, other extras also received martial arts training under the arrangement of the crew before actual shooting.

It can be said that this scene is not a pure martial arts scene. But martial arts is very heavy, and the design should show a "skillful" word. The cleverness of the Monkey King, in stark contrast to the clumsiness of the Djinn God, and then produce a very subtle comedic effect in the fight.

After watching the sample film, Yi Feiyang, as the leading actor and director, couldn't help but applaud, in his opinion, this first action scene was very outstanding, at least it brought a good start for the future.

……

Time flies.

In the past few days, the scenes filmed by the crew in Huaguoshan have reached the most lively part.

The Monkey King played by Yi Feiyang was deceived by Tai Bai Jin into Heavenly Court to be Bi Ma Wen. When he realized that he was just a petty official who took care of the horses, the Monkey King made a big fuss about the horse guard. returned to Huaguo Mountain and called himself Monkey King; Heavenly Court failed to make a plan, so it made another plan, sent someone to canonize him as the Monkey King, and then appointed him to take care of Pan Taoyuan. The Monkey King took care of the peach in the peach orchard, and happened to meet the queen mother to have a peach banquet and invited all the gods to participate, but he didn't have his share of the Monkey King. In addition to being angry, the Monkey King stole the peach, and then made a big fuss about the peach festival, making the heavenly palace smoky. The Jade Emperor couldn't stand it any longer, so he sent heavenly soldiers and generals to capture the Monkey King. So the story of a big havoc in the Heavenly Palace began.

The filming of the movie went very smoothly, and Yi Feiyang's performance was also vividly revealed, especially in Yi Feiyang's view, his previous choice was absolutely right, except for himself, no one can play a role like the Monkey King to his heart, after all, he can understand that the image of the Monkey King in his heart is only himself.

And Yi Feiyang's efforts are also in everyone's eyes, many people suspected that this cow who is used to being a director will not be able to endure hardship, and he will take the initiative to resign from the actor in a few days, but Yi Feiyang's persistence and hard work surprised them, especially Yi Feiyang's interpretation of the role, which made them admire his continuous improvement in acting skills.

And in a sense, at this moment, Yi Feiyang has risen directly from director to the level of actor, and can definitely be called a real actor and a great star.

……

On this day, "Havoc in Heaven" officially entered the white-hot shooting.

The main content is that the Heavenly King of Tota Li led the heavenly soldiers and generals to go down to earth to capture the demon monkey Monkey King in accordance with the will of the Jade Emperor.

The Monkey King led the monkey descendants to fight the heavenly soldiers and generals who were preparing to arrive, and the front was empty, without any sound, and then, the chaotic footsteps sounded, and the soldiers and generals poured out from the front like a tide, these people were wearing golden armor and holding various weapons, forming a confrontation with the Monkey King's army.

The camera then pans to the "Heavenly Soldiers", where their expressions can be seen and their mockery of the monkeys can be heard.

In the close-up shot, the Tota Li Tianwang who walked out of the heavenly soldiers holding the golden pagoda, Ren Dahua, who played this role, shouted majestically: "Dut, that monkey!" Why don't you hurry up and get caught? ”

Close-up:

The Monkey King rounded the golden hoop stick, "Hehe, if you want me to surrender, you can ask me about the golden hoop stick in my hand first!" ”

"Bold demon monkey, I see that you don't cry when you don't see the coffin!" As soon as Li Tianwang's handsome flag waved, the heavenly soldiers and generals around him rushed over.

Monkey King: "Kids, give it to me!" ”

The monkeys and monkey grandchildren also rushed forward.

Long Shot:

The two groups of men and horses collided together like a tide, and the soldiers came and went, and they fought happily.

In the close-up shot, the Monkey King plucked his hair, blew it, and conjured dozens of avatars, entangled several powerful heavenly soldiers and generals, and then he raised the golden hoop stick and hit Li Tianwang with a stick!

But at this time, the third prince of Nezha, as a pioneer officer, made a move!

The Monkey King fights the third prince, and a fierce battle is about to begin!

……

Temporary rest period.

"The next set of shots is about to start, take your time, yes, Bao'er. The third prince of Nezha you play is sharper...... I want sharpness. It's not about dressing up. Well, it's a great look, and I'd love to have you wearing a red belly pocket! Yi Feiyang looked at Bao'er's appearance and said.

Qiankun circle, Hun Tianya, stepping on Hot Wheels under your feet!

Bao'er was wearing a very flowing red costume, standing on a plastic hot wheel, fiddling with the red tassel gun, "Look at the move." Demon Monkey! "Poking at Yi Feiyang, having a lot of fun.

"Bruce, isn't the Hot Wheels under her too fake? Look, the plastic doesn't even have a shine. Yi Feiyang pointed to the two cheap Hot Wheels.

"I'm afraid that it will be difficult to shoot if it is changed to metal, and the weight is too great for Bao'er to bear." Bruce explained. "As for the gloss, I'll have the prop crew spray some phosphor later, yes, it'll shine!"

"Good idea, besides, her hairstyle is not good enough, look. The two haircuts on both sides of the head look like Teletubbies no matter how you look at them! ”

"This ...... I made it according to the shape of the mainland cartoon "Nezha and the Sea". Bruce didn't understand. I checked the information before I did it, what was wrong?

"I mean, that cartoon is for children, and Nezha's setting is only seven or eight years old, and now that we're shooting a movie, this hairstyle is too naïve...... In this way, if you take a look at our 86 version of the TV series, although Nezha's style is not good enough, it is much more exciting, so you can follow that! ”

"Alright then, I'll fix it!"

Here, after Yi Feiyang and special effects makeup artist Bruce finished communicating, Yi Feiyang turned around and asked the fat man Jack: "Jack, we have almost finished filming this scene in Huaguoshan, and we will shoot the scene in the heavenly court in a few days, have you chosen the location?" ”

"It's been done a long time ago, according to your meaning, I found a few ancient buildings, you see, at this time, the Suzhou garden, this is the Forbidden City in Beijing, and here, it is the Qinhuai River in Nanjing!"

The fat man handed over a large pile of landscape photos for Yi Feiyang to sift.

Yi Feiyang took a brief look and said: "I remember that there is a saying that there is heaven and there is Suzhou and Hangzhou, so choose the Suzhou garden, well, when this scene is filmed, you will fly over first, arrange it there, and then shoot it yourself...... Remember, we must have a good relationship with the local government, we are filming, we need their help, and we must pay attention to protecting the environment when setting up the scene, and we can't destroy other people's places because of filming! ”

"Hehe, I know, boss, you've explained this sentence many times!" The fat man said with a grin.

"I'm afraid you won't remember!" Yi Feiyang smiled and went over to greet those prop masters, "Attention, start filming immediately after a while, and rest for ten minutes at most!" ”

Ten minutes later, everything was ready.

This scene is the scene of the battle between the Monkey King played by Yi Feiyang and the third prince of Nezha played by Bao'er.

This fight scene is second only to the fight between the Monkey King and Erlang God in the whole play, and Brother Cheng Long, as a martial arts instructor, also took great pains to design this scene.

You must know that although Brother Cheng Long was born in kung fu films, he also has a group of Cheng family classes, but the action scenes he starred in and filmed before were all modern dramas, either playing the police, or playing the urban hero, what Chen Jiaju, what Meng Bo, and what flying eagle...... He has acted in very few costume dramas. Especially costume action scenes are not his strong point, so in terms of action design, there is no playing with tables, chairs and benches, no jumping up and down, but you have to use weapons to go back and forth, which gives him a problem.

However, the eldest brother Cheng Long is the eldest brother after all, and he has been immersed in action scenes for so many years, and he still takes the action of feeding the moves you come and go. What's more, there are also Hong Kong martial artists behind him, and everyone used their brains together to quickly design a fight scene between the Monkey King and Nezha.

Of course, a fight scene like this has to be practiced by these martial artists first, and then Yi Feiyang and Bao'er do it again. Yi Feiyang is good to say, he has practiced martial arts himself, and he has accepted traditional Chinese stick moves very quickly. But this made Bao'er bitter, because she, a little girl, had never fought since she was a child, let alone performed moves with a red tassel gun.

Therefore, Bao'er was delayed alone, and the fight scene that was originally planned to start filming in ten minutes was delayed again. In this regard, Yi Feiyang is also helpless, after all, people are not as good as heaven, and many things make you involuntarily.

Half an hour later, seeing that Bao'er had almost learned the moves, Yi Feiyang beckoned the photography team to prepare to start shooting.

Since this fight scene belongs to the type of god and demon war, it needs to fly to the sky, so a series of decaying and destructive stones are indispensable. Trees break. There are also mountains of explosions.

Yi Feiyang said it before. We will never destroy the ecological environment here for the sake of filming. That's what he said, and that's what he did, so the rocks and trees that would be blasted were basically props that he had designed at a high price, rather than the real trees around them.

Originally, it didn't matter if you blasted some here, anyway, there were so many trees and stones, and no one cared about it in the deep mountains and forests. But Yi Feiyang would rather pay than do this, which can't help but make the old village chief and others admire.

Before the filming began, the prop masters were setting up the set, first hanging a huge background painting behind a large area of rocks, a red sun half hanging in the sky, and then a mountain peak made of plastic, with the slogan "Monkey King"!

Of course, in order to cover up these fake "sets", and to create a magical atmosphere, Yi Feiyang, as the director, also ordered people to release white "dry ice" on both sides. In this way, clouds and mist are formed, and strange rocks are everywhere. Black clouds press down on the mountain, the atmosphere of the war between gods and demons.

Seeing that the scene has been arranged and the filming is about to start, Yi Feiyang, as the director and starring actor, is still a little uneasy, after all, Bao'er has never shot a formal movie before, but she is just a newcomer who has been dug out by herself, and she is afraid that she will mess up the filming work on the verge of her. So he found Bao'er and asked her how she remembered the lines, and what else she didn't understand? Bao'er said it was all clear, don't worry. Yi Feiyang still called Brother Cheng Long and asked him to carefully tell Bao'er about the fight scene to be filmed later.

Brother Cheng Long has a very good impression of Bao'er, a little girl. I patiently explained the action scenes that I was going to shoot later.

In fact, Bao'er had learned dance before and had a deep foundation in movements, but Yi Feiyang didn't know it, and still treated her as an ordinary girl. As for Brother Cheng Long, he is very serious here, and sometimes he shows it to Bao'er, for fear that she won't understand.

Bao'er doesn't break either. These designed moves are not too difficult for her, but those weird moves are more difficult to remember.

………

The set has been prepared, and the actors' roles have been clarified. The prop master is buried, the camera engineer is buried, and the actor is buried

Filming begins right away.

It is said that this scene is mainly about the Heavenly Court hearing that the Monkey King proclaimed himself the Monkey King in Huaguo Mountain, and the Jade Emperor was angry, so he took the throne of Tota Li Tian as the commander and led the heavenly soldiers and generals to capture the demon monkey in the lower realm. As Li Jing's general, the third prince Nezha and the Monkey King started a fierce battle.

There is nothing too important in the background design, the key is that the rivalry between the two characters is very important. Because in addition to the fights, there is also a large part of the dialogue that shows the characters' personalities, these dialogues are not many, but they are very incisive, and they can best highlight the characters and make them three-dimensional.

In other words, the next scene is actually the rivalry between Yi Feiyang and Bao'er, and they need to complete the best combination from language to action.

In fact, this kind of scene is the most important for the acting skills of the school actors. It is necessary not only to be "realistic" in action, but also to be "realistic" in expression.

Filming is about to begin. The camera was already in focus, and Boa stood in place where she needed to bury herself for a while. Wei Ya hung from her waist, and several fierce dragon and tiger martial artists slowly pulled her up.

"Release the smoke!"

The white smoke spreads, the gaffer uses the dim light to create the momentum of the heavenly soldiers and generals, several prop masters are shaking the iron sheet in the back, playing the searchlight, creating a "thunderbolt lightning", the whole scene becomes a dark cloud and black pressure, the white fog is filled, the flowers and fruits in the thunderbolt lightning shake the mountains, and the river is tumbling; In opposition to the heavenly soldiers and generals, the Monkey King, who is holding a golden hoop stick, does not flinch in the face of thousands of troops and horses, and is ready to move.

"Alright, all set!" Cindy, as the assistant director, waved her hand, "Ike God! ”

The battle between the gods and demons between the Monkey King and Nezha has officially begun.

The chaotic silk danced, Bao'er spun in the air and landed from the sky, one toe stepped on the Hot Wheels, holding a red tassel gun, pink makeup and jade, but majestic and powerful.

Next to the blower increase the horsepower to blow the air.

The wind is whistling.

The ribbon around Bao'er's waist hunted in the wind.

"Bold demon monkey, don't hurry up and arrest you, wait for me to capture you in the heavenly court and let the Jade Emperor fall!" Boa uttered her first line.

Directly opposite Bao'er, Yi Feiyang, who played the Monkey King, danced the golden hoop stick without a grin, and then carried it on his shoulder and said: "Which child are you who actually came here to call the formation, seeing that you are still young, I am afraid that I will kill you with a stick, you better go back quickly and call your adults out!" ”

Bao'er snorted, and the red tassel spear danced a spear flower, revealing a disdainful expression: "Oh, bold monkey head, I don't even know you, and you dare to call yourself Monkey King?!" Now the master tells you that I am the third prince of Nezha, the vanguard officer under the generalissimo of the Heavenly Court! Today, on the orders of the Jade Emperor, I am here to capture you! If you know that the master is powerful, you will be arrested obediently, and when I take you to heaven, you can also ask the Jade Emperor to spare you from death, if not, I will kill you as a monkey and burn your Huaguo Mountain, so that you know how powerful the master is! ”

"Hahaha, hahaha!" The Monkey King looked up to the sky and was wild, "What nonsense are you talking about, you just want to go against me?" Don't talk about you, even if you go together, I, Monkey King, am not afraid! After speaking, the golden hoop stick stabbed into the sky and said, "It's useless to talk too much, can you dare to fight?" The whole monkey face was extremely bewildering, and his eyes were blood-red, revealing a violent aura.

The surrounding clouds and mist are swinging, and the momentum is condensed. (To be continued......)
