On May 10, more than 200 people in the crew of "Sword Rain Jianghu", under the leadership of Zhang Yimou, officially started filming after the start-up ceremony was held in Hengdian.

There are many scenic spots near Hengdian that are suitable for filming, and it is also close to Liangxi, Xiangshan, Songjiang and other film and television cities, which is convenient for transfer, and it is the best filming place for many film and television companies.

Zhou Yi set up another branch in Gusu, which was responsible for the shooting business, which was for this.

This time he became a full-time action director, and Chen Shuo was able to devote himself more to it.

Every day, I held a meeting with Zhang Yimou to finalize the filming content for the next few days, and then find out the part of the martial arts drama from it, and discuss the specific shooting plan with Cheng Xiaodong.

Cheng Xiaodong, the action director, is the same as the chief director, mainly responsible for the assignment of tasks, the communication of requirements, and the acceptance of the final effect.

And Chen Shuo is more like an executive director, after receiving the task, according to Cheng Xiaodong's requirements, he arranged the shooting plan specifically, guided the actors, and then shot a finished product that satisfied him and showed it to Cheng Xiaodong.

When he has seen it and meets the requirements of the chief director, then this scene will be over.

If you are not satisfied, or if the style of his shooting is very different from the overall style of the film, then you have to reshoot.

Such a job seems to be busy every day, doing dirty work, but it is also the most able to exercise people.

When filming "Condor" before, because he still had his own tasks, he didn't go so deep behind the scenes of the crew.

Now it's time to experience it, so that he can understand every detail specifically, and if he wants to direct the play himself, he won't be led by others.

On this day, Ye Feiqing, who was working overtime at night, was sentenced to death for killing Xinglang and his parents, and she was dressed in red and bloody above the lobby, but she caress the blood on her hands indifferently.

When Fan Bingbing played this role, he played that innocent and indifferent look very well.

Especially against the background of the blood on the face, it looks like a strange beauty.

"Okay, click!" Liang Guoguang shouted with the walkie-talkie, and the filming of a scene was over.

However, everyone didn't mean to leave, but looked at Zhang Yimou, who was sitting in front of the monitor.

Although it is said that Liang Guoguang and Liu Guonan are the directors of this play, basically they filmed this scene, but in the end, it was Zhang Yimou who had the final say.

At the beginning, the two always failed to meet his requirements, and had to reshoot them over and over again.

Not only do the actors need to improve, but he will also teach the two how to better present the meaning of a shot.

How to compose the picture to be able to present the picture more beautifully.

After this period of teaching and grinding, the two have already gained experience.

In the shot just now, Liang Guoguang believes that Zhang Yimou's minimum requirements have been met.

But he still habitually looked at Zhang Yimou, waiting for his comments.

Zhang Yimou read the content, nodded and said, "Yes." ”

"Huh~" Not only Liang Guoguang breathed a sigh of relief, but all the people present were inexplicably relieved.

As a producer, Zhang Yimou does not need to participate in the actual operation, but only needs to give opinions and see the results, so that he can have more energy to pay attention to other things.

It feels scarier than when I was a director.

"Alright, call it a day!" The assistant director shouted, and everyone packed their things and prepared to go back to the hotel.

Zhang Yimou didn't care about those miscellaneous things, he still sat in front of the monitor and said to Chen Shuo and the others: "Chen Shuo, you will shoot the fight part here tomorrow, I won't be watching it at the scene, and I will show me the finished film when you finish filming."

But for that scene tomorrow night, you have to prepare carefully, and you must shoot it well. ”

Chen Shuo responded: "I understand, Director Zhang." ”

Zhang Yimou nodded and said, "You will explain it clearly tonight, and the province will be in a hurry tomorrow."

Kunimitsu. ”

"Director Zhang." Liang Guoguang responded.

"Tomorrow, let's go to shoot the scenes in the city, these two days are just in time for the rainy season, there is a lot of rain, it comes and goes quickly, and we will shoot the scenes where Jiang Asheng and Zeng Jing meet in the rain."

"Okay, Director Zhang."

After explaining everyone's tasks, Zhang Yimou got up and followed everyone back to the hotel.

On the way back, I was still discussing other things with the production director, on-site producer, art director, and others.

It can be said that there is no idle time except for sleeping.

After returning to the hotel, it was not too late, and Chen Shuo had Fan Bingbing, Zhang Jin and Wang Xueqi notified for a meeting.

After a while, the three of them arrived at his room.

"Teacher Wang, Sister Bingbing, Brother Jin, come, sit down." After inviting the three of them to sit down, Chen Shuo said: "Tomorrow, we will kill the county magistrate of the county government, arrest Kuai and others to avenge Ye Feiqing's return from learning."

This scene mainly depends on the performance of Sister Bingbing and Teacher Wang, you can first look at the storyboard I drew to find out the feeling. ”

Fan Bingbing took the script, and Wang Xueqi and Zhang Jin sat on her side and read it with her.

"Tomorrow's drama will be dominated by Ye Feiqing, and there are not many parts of Brother Jin, as long as it is at the edge of the camera and restrains people.

And Sister Bingbing and Teacher Wang, the two of you use your hands and mouths, and take this killing as a teaching.

Brother Jin's actions are not too demanding, and when you arrive at the scene tomorrow, you can even play at will after discussing with Tianle.

Sister Bingbing, I still hope that you can complete the shooting by yourself as much as possible, it's not that you can't do it, and try not to use a stand-in. ”

Fan Bingbing listened to Chen Shuo's words and looked at the storyboard in the script.

The story is also very simple, that is, after Ye Feiqing was rescued, he followed the Wheel King to learn the sword technique of clearing water.

After finishing her studies, she wanted to try her sword, and she didn't have any enemies before, so the county order that sentenced her to death and the arrest of Yitang were her best sword test objects.

So accompanied by the Wheel King and the color opera master, Ye Feiqing sounded the drum of grievances, gathered the county order and the catcher together, and after mocking them for a while, he started to kill.

The purpose of this killing is to teach, so her movements are also based on showing the sword technique of water-repellent as much as possible.

In this play, there are a total of four people who can clear the water sword, the Wheel King, Drizzle, Zeng Jing and Ye Feiqing.

They all need a chance to show off their water-clearing skills.

Although Drizzle and Zeng Jing are the same person, when Zeng Jing, who has changed her face, picks up the water sword again, it must be a small climax of the whole play, so it must be filmed well at that time.

And after Ye Feiqing has learned and succeeded, it is also a good opportunity to show the sword technique of water-repelling.

According to Chen Shuo's annotations, Fan Bingbing understood that she basically needed to show the most representative moves of the water-clearing sword technique she had learned before.

This will test the results of her previous workouts.

"Okay, Director Chen." Fan Bingbing carefully read the script twice and handed it back to Chen Shuo.

Chen Shuo took it and explained: "Tomorrow, everyone will get up early, especially the soldiers, and then practice after putting on makeup."

Teacher Wang and Brother Jin can be a little later, just from the normal time.

That's all there is to it, think about it when you go back, and rest early in the evening. ”

After the three of them left, Chen Shuo took out the schedule again and sorted out the next shooting plan.

Then he called Shen Pingchuan and Yang Tianle and began to arrange tomorrow's tasks.

Now the crew is basically divided into four groups for filming, and Liang Guoguang and Liu Guonan each take a group to shoot literary dramas.

Chen Shuo and Cheng Xiaodong also took a group to shoot martial arts.

Of course, Chen Shuo's team has not always existed, he is usually responsible for roaming the three groups, doing chores for the three groups, and filming some martial arts parts.

Only when the other three groups had tasks, and some of the martial arts parts were not finished, did he form a separate group to shoot.

It's like tomorrow's play, Liang Guoguang took people to film the encounter between Jiang Asheng and Zeng Jing, and Liu Guonan took people to film the daily life of Lei Bin and Tian Qingtong.

And Cheng Xiaodong wanted to take people to shoot the drizzle, and was pretended to be a family of gods to capture and ambush.

The remaining scenes that have not been filmed today will be taken care of by Chen Shuo.

Of course, there are also some martial arts parts, because he is both an original screenwriter and an action director, and he must shoot it in order to better present the effect.

Just like Zhang Yimou explained, the important scene tomorrow night.

The next day, Chen Shuo got up at three o'clock, and because the time was too early, he didn't do morning exercises, but planned to practice later when he was in the crew.

He first went through the content to be filmed today with Yang Tianle and asked him to stare at the preparations.

Then I planned to go to the makeup room to discuss today's makeup and hair style with the makeup artist, especially Fan Bingbing's.

Before I entered the door, I heard Fan Bingbing discussing with the makeup artist inside.

Pushing open the door, sure enough, on the dressing table closest to the door, the two were discussing seriously.

"Sister Bingbing, get up so early? It's only four o'clock, so you can get up early, an hour earlier, and you can get up at five o'clock. ”

"Director Chen?" Fan Bingbing looked at him in some surprise and asked, "Why did you get up so early?" ”

Chen Shuo explained: "I started work early this morning, and I finished filming the part where you opened the killing ring early, and I will go to shoot the other parts in the afternoon."

That scene is more important, and it takes a long time to prepare, so you need to hurry. ”

This is a good thing, from the afternoon to the evening, he needs to shoot the scene of Lu Zhu pointing out the drizzle.

This scene is a turning point from drizzle to Zeng Jing, and it is also a turning point for the whole movie.

If it weren't for the fact that he choreographed the water clearing sword technique, and after thinking about it for a long time, it would not be his turn to shoot this scene.

At that time, Zhang Yimou will also personally go to the scene to check for him.

He didn't say much to Fan Bingbing, and instead asked, "How are you discussing?" ”

"It's basically settled, and it's mainly pure." The makeup artist explained: "Director Zhang asked this character to have a sense of pure and fatal temptation.

When Ye Feiqing appeared yesterday, she was already the most gorgeous bridal makeup.

This scene is her first battle after becoming a killer, and I want her to present a kind of appearance that is very innocent on the outside, but kills people without blinking, which just fits the character's personality. ”

Chen Shuo nodded when he heard this, and said, "Put on makeup first, see the effect, Sister Bingbing got up early today, we have time." ”

"Okay." As he spoke, the makeup artist began to style and apply makeup to Fan Bingbing.

Chen Shuo looked at it for a while, and felt that the foundation was very good, so he no longer paid attention to it, but went to see other preparations.
