Chapter 99: It's not an overnight thing, are you sure he can do it? (3/4)
A hotel business center, outsourcing conference room.
Zheng Quan and Chen Anzhi are holding an impromptu meeting for the new play.
The people gathered around the round table at this moment.
are the core team of the crew of "Xin Qiji 1162".
I want to make a historical film with the color of war.
In fact, the work to be prepared is far more complicated than some other themes.
Although the final result is not necessarily related to the complexity of the preparation.
But if you want to shoot this kind of subject matter well, you have to do it.
It's like some films with very good plots, but the process of preparation and shooting is not necessarily difficult.
Zhang Huaimou filmed Hurricane before, mostly in indoor environments, although it seems that the plot is ups and downs, and the plot is also very gripping.
But these are all attributed to the actors' performances and plot trends, and have little to do with the quality of filming preparations.
A lot of stories can be done in just one studio in a film and television base.
Set up a few different indoor backgrounds, and then find a location to shoot and frame it, and you're basically fine.
But this is not the case with the historical theme of war.
If you want to pursue realism, then the two armies are fighting, and the battlefield needs to be filmed in real time.
And such an environment requires a huge venue and atmosphere to create.
The size of the personnel, the scale of the props, and even the horses, vehicles, and so on.
And this is just the environment creation of a drama.
When it came time to start filming, there were a lot of shots and most of the scenes.
It is all supported by a professional martial arts team and a stunt stand-in team.
For example, how to ride a war horse, how to fight knives, guns and sticks, action design during combat, and so on.
These have nothing to do with the plot, but they are just as important and indispensable.
It is precisely because of the combination of these team departments that the things in the shooting script can be implemented concretely.
So compared to some ordinary crews.
Chen Anzhi's crew, whether it is the number of team members or other aspects, is larger and more complex.
It's been almost a year since I was preparing for this show.
So far, the group has only just been established.
Therefore, many things still need to be specifically run-in and discussed.
Chen Anzhi: "Everyone, it's rare that the team is relatively uniform at this time, so I held a temporary meeting in Galaxy City to discuss the filming location of the crew, as well as some processes after inviting actors to join the group." ”
While speaking, Chen Anzhi turned on the projection screen.
It's a picture of an area above, and it really looks like it's desolate.
"In Gubei Province, the local authorities have already issued a permit and are now building temporary fake cities and other filming facilities...... There is also a horse farm. ”
Chen Anzhi explained in detail.
From the local cultural landforms, to why it can be combined with this film.
Some scenes are similar to Xin Qiji's era, as well as advantages.
Finally, after everyone's discussion.
I feel that there is no problem in terms of site selection, even if it is directly finalized.
In the end, Chen Anzhi opened the picture of the actor, and then said: "I will arrange the audition for important roles by myself, the protagonist is tentatively Su Mu, and then ......"
"What? The male protagonist set Su Mu? ”
"Director Chen, is this negotiable?"
At this moment,
Finally, for the first time in the whole meeting, there was a disagreement.
Chen Anzhi looked at the other side, his expression paused, and then he smiled.
The person who spoke was about the same age as him, and he was an old acquaintance, called Yuan Zheng.
It's an old martial artist in the circle.
The family martial arts inheritance, and later entered the industry until now, doing martial arts guidance for major film and television dramas.
His martial arts stunt team, not to mention the top in the industry.
But it's still more than enough to be in the top five.
So in terms of qualifications and status in the circle, they are actually similar to Chen Anzhi and Zhang Huaimou.
Even in the field of kung fu martial arts films, it is higher than two.
After all, there is a specialization in the art industry.
It's true that you are a good director, but you may not be able to shoot kung fu and play well.
This is not only a matter of filming skills, nor is it a problem for the actors, because the fight scene is not a real kung fu duel, but requires the design of the action.
The environment, the coordination of personnel, and the integration of action design can complete a fight.
The action is slightly incoherent, or uncoordinated, illogical, or even without the beauty of the action, it is a failed shoot.
Therefore, the masters of martial arts, especially these experienced action directors, and the old drama bones of martial arts, are all treasures in the circle.
This is where the most experience is required.
Good martial arts actors are fed by playing.
Only when you have enough experience in playing can you dare to say that you can have certain achievements in the field of action direction.
Chen Anzhi: "Old Yuan, what do you mean by this?" ”
Yuan Zheng put down the teacup, there were a lot of calluses on his hands, and his voice was a little rough:
"Since you came to me, then I must have something to say, this Su Mu I know, I saw it at the award ceremony two days ago, but he is not suitable for the character of Xin Qiji."
didn't wait for Chen Anzhi to say anything.
Zheng Quan on the side spoke: "Director Yuan, this matter may not have time to be said yet, Su Mu is the male protagonist who was set in advance." ”
Yuan Zheng looked at Zheng Quan: "Mr. Zheng, I know that Kiwi is an investment producer, and I don't have the right to veto your decision, but since you came to me, I just gave my thoughts, and it was your business to decide how to decide." ”
"This ......" Zheng Quan was a little embarrassed, and finally could only look at Chen Anzhi.
Chen An smiled, he knew Yuan Zheng's temper.
In fact, most of the veteran actors in martial arts have this straightforward character.
If you have anything to say, if your subordinates can't do it well during filming, then they will be scolded on the spot.
But the right thing is not the right person, it is the temperament of a person who has practiced all his life.
Chen Anzhi: "Lao Yuan, whether Su Mu is what I am looking for or what the management is looking for, since we have discussed, we must have different opinions, so I want to hear your explanation." ”
Yuan Zheng: "I've watched some of Su Mu's dramas, and my acting skills are good at this age, if it were other dramas, I would definitely not stop it, but this is Xin Qiji, the past and environment of this character are not something like Su Mu can play well."
Of course, makeup can bring the actor closer, but that's just styling, but the core thing can't be effective.
A military general, he must be played by a person who knows martial arts, in order to have that kind of smoothness and spirit, can he play a sword? Can I ride a horse? Can you be afraid of heights? In other words, fighting on the battlefield with knives, guns and sticks, those who have not practiced and those who have practiced are completely different.
The fierceness in Xin Qiji's bones takes time to temper.
Did you really let this Sumu ride a tractor on the battlefield on horseback? Or do you want to find a stuntman to do those difficult movements?
In many scenes, if you change a camera, you will change the effect, which you know better than me.
Even if he insists on playing on his own, these are not things that can be trained overnight, so I say that he is not suitable. ”
Zheng Quan: "......"
Chen Anzhi: "This ......"
Yuan Zheng is a senior martial artist after all.
So it's very professional and reasonable.
Chen Anzhi and Zheng Quan really can't refute it.
At this time, the other crew members present did not speak.
Anyway, I don't oppose or approve of it, just wait for the result.
"That's not necessarily, I think Su Mu is quite suitable."
Suddenly, a tall, thin and beautiful girl voted against Yuan Zheng.
Chen Anzhi glanced at it, and then said with a smile: "Yuan Zheng, your granddaughter Yuan Shuang has an objection, what do you say?" ”
Yuan Zheng: "......"
Chen Anzhi: "Okay, Su Mu's matter can be discussed later, and I will see him tomorrow, I will tell him what you mean, and also see what he thinks." ”
