Chapter 18: Shooting
On the third day of start-up, Cai Zhuoyan, an artist under Emperor Ying, officially joined the group, and she didn't have many roles, so the contract was only signed for 2 days. Choi Zhuoyan plays a hot singer in the movie, and the protagonist is initially tasked with protecting her to and from the concert safely.
When there was a situation during the filming of the concert, when Cheng Long escorted Cai Zhuoyan out of that scene, Li Mu took the initiative to demonstrate to the actor who played the killer, and later he personally started tricks with Cheng Long.
The high-definition pictures of the movies in his previous life in Li Mu's mind, coupled with his own good physical fitness, Cheng Long has made action movies all his life and has extremely rich experience, so the effect of his and Cheng Long's tricks is unexpectedly good.
Chen Musheng even moved for a moment, and simply let Li Mu play the idea of this killer. Cheng Long was also full of praise for the actions designed by Li Mu, and after this scene, he said that Li Mu had this talent, and if he had been born decades earlier, he might have been a kung fu star again.
However, this also made the people in Cheng's class faintly dissatisfied with Li Mu.
Filming action scenes is Cheng Jiaban's housekeeping ability, but I didn't expect that today on Cheng Jiaban's own territory, in Cheng Long's own movie, Cheng Jiaban people were used to play the killer, and in the end, an outsider hairy young man guided Cheng Jiaban to shoot action scenes, where do you let Cheng Jiaban's people put face?
After this scene, several members of the Cheng family class found the action director Li Zhongzhi to complain about the incident.
"Brother Zhi, what is the origin of this Li Mu? Isn't it just a screenwriter and an assistant director, how do you feel like this kid has to intervene in everything? ”
"A hairy young man, a junior newcomer, doesn't have any consciousness of being a junior in front of Brother Cheng Long, and those who don't know think he is Hong Jinbao."
"What kind of immortal is this? Brother Cheng Long has a good temper and self-cultivation, and he is not as knowledgeable as him, does he really think that he can be on an equal footing with Brother Cheng Long? ”
"Let's just talk about the scene just now, Cai Zhuoyan flew from Xiangjiang to film, such an important scene, bang four punches are over, the audience can't see what's going on, the gangsters have been subdued, can this be enjoyable? I'm a spectator, I'm going to curse! If you don't arrange a few more killers, or arrange a more powerful killer, why do you have to fight for two or three minutes, so it's fun to watch! This kid also knows how to guide movements? ”
"After watching two foreign action movies, you really think you can be an action director? A lot of action directors in Hollywood are still Xiangjiang filmmakers! ”
Li Zhongzhi, a member of the Cheng family class, is a famous action director in Xiangjiang, and his martial arts style is tough and concise, and explosive.
If there are no accidents in history, he will also become the action director of Cheng Long's movie "Baby Plan", as well as cooperate with Wu Jing as the action director of "Wolf Warrior 2", which has created a box office myth.
This person has a very high level, and he also agrees with the martial arts movements designed by Li Mu, but as a member of the Cheng family's class, he can't help but consider his brother's ideas.
"Everyone is angry, this Li Mu is the person who is set by Xiying, Xiying is the investor of this movie, people have spent tens of millions on this movie, let them toss if they are willing to toss. Besides, the effect of today's fight is actually okay, and Brother Cheng Long and Director Chen Musheng also approve it, since everyone is satisfied, what else can we do? ”
Someone was unconvinced: "Today's fight is only two people, and the fight between two people is the easiest, I don't believe that he can still handle it when he shoots the melee scene later!" Brother Zheng, if you want me to say that when the melee scene comes, you simply stand by and let him toss, and when he can't play anymore, let's come out and clean up the mess. ”
"That's right, we'll see you in the scuffle."
Li Zhongzheng couldn't help but remind: "Everyone is calm and calm, let's be the action director, the film will always have the greatest effect, nothing can be done at the expense of the quality of the film, he can't do the action scene later, I must deal with it as soon as possible, we can't fight with people in this matter, if we make the eldest brother angry, everyone will have nothing to eat." ”
……
The domestic scenes were filmed for a total of 6 days, and then the whole crew flew to France, and after arriving in France, they gave priority to filming scenes with Liu Yifei, because "The Condor Heroes" directed by Zhang Jizhong is also about to start.
The first scene filmed after arriving in France was the airport scene, in which Li Mu's character had to get close to Liu Yifei as a fellow countryman, and then carpooled with Liu Yifei and her best friend to leave the airport.
Before the official start of filming, the actors rehearsed in advance, and between rehearsals, Liu Yifei took the initiative to come over and talk.
"Screenwriter Li, is this your first time acting?"
Li Mu didn't answer, but asked, "Do you know which movie I like the most?" ”
"Which one?"
"Journey to the West"
"I kind of like that movie, too." Liu Yifei said.
"Do you know which line I like the most?"
"There was once a sincere feeling in front of me, but I didn't cherish that sentence?"
"No, it's Princess Iron Fan who said, 'When you used to use me, you called me Brother Li Mu, but now you don't need me, call me Screenwriter Li.'" ”
"That...... No...... I think that opening and closing your mouth to call this brother and that brother is very much like pretending to be cute, and it will look particularly greasy. ”
"Well, I accept your apology."
"Who apologized to you, it's so thick-skinned."
"By the way, you just asked me if it was my first time acting? What do you want? Do you want to see me make a fool of myself and be scolded by the director? ”
"I didn't...... But now that I have this idea, I really want to see you being scolded by the director without stopping. ”
But it is obvious that Li Mu disappointed Liu Yifei, his scene is very simple, just relying on his handsome appearance to pick up a girl and carpool, in his previous life, he has been in the entertainment industry for 20 years, and has made countless cameos in various roles, and today's small role is not too simple for him.
On the contrary, Liu Yifei was called twice, which made her very faceless in front of Li Mu, after all, she just said that she wanted to see Li Mu being scolded by the director.
There are not many scenes in this movie Liu Yifei, being caught under the hiding bed is one part, and finally being auctioned by the rich is another. It is worth mentioning that in the original film, the heroine was pushed to the stage only in her underwear for the world's rich people to choose and bid, and in Li Mu's script, the underwear was naturally replaced with normal wear.
Three days after the crew flew to Paris, Liu Yifei's entire scene was completed, and she and her mother flew back to China to prepare for the filming of "The Condor Heroes".
03 "The Family of Gold Powder", "Dragon Babu", 05 "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", 06 "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Liu Yifei has really started as a fairy in the past few years, just with the popularity foundation laid by these dramas, even if she has made bad movies for ten years in a row, the foundation of these dramas can still ensure that she has a large number of fans in China, which is something that other actresses can't envy.
The crew soon filmed the highlight of the film, that is, Cheng Long broke into the tiger's den alone, eliminated all the villains in the thief's den alone, and rescued a girl by the way.
Li Mu is not a person who likes to be in the limelight, but he is not a person who sacrifices the quality of movies in order to leave a good impression on others.
When Li Mu went, more than a dozen people had gathered in Li Zhongzhi's room, all of whom were members of the Cheng family's class, and everyone saw that Li Mu actually took the initiative to come to the door, and then thought that the most difficult melee scene would be filmed in a few days, so everyone knew it.
This eighty percent was enough of the limelight a few days ago, and now it's the main event, and I know that I can't handle it, so I ask for help.
"Yo, Director Li is here, what a rare guest, I remember that there seem to be a lot of action scenes to be filmed in two days, right? Director Li should go to bed early and get up early to recharge his energy at this time, and he will direct a lot of action scenes in two days. ”
"I used to hear that martial arts turned to actors and directors, but I didn't think that there are still directors who change careers to martial arts, but it's really fresh."
"Everybody say less!" Li Zhongzhi suppressed a group of members of the Cheng family, and then turned his head to look at Li Mudao, "Director Li, you have something to do with me?" ”
Li Mu nodded, took out a stack of paper from his bag and handed it to Li Zhongzhi: "This is the detailed fight plan I designed and an overview of how it will be edited in the later stage, you refer to it, there is something unreasonable, let's study it tomorrow, you have a good idea, let's discuss it together, nothing else, okay, I'll go back first." ”
"I'll send you."
"No need, you're busy."
After Li Mu left, everyone opened the things painted by Li Mu together, and they were first shocked by Li Mu's painting skills, and then after seeing the things painted by Li Mu, everyone had to admit that although everyone didn't look at Li Mu so pleasing to the eye, this kid really had two brushes in terms of action design.
