After participating in the college student film festival, Li Hao did not complain when the reporter interviewed.

After all, don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha.

Besides, more or less won several awards.

Li Hao put his time and energy on the crew of "Embroidered Spring Knife".

The preparation stage of the film is a meticulous and strategic process, just like building a house and making a design drawing, all aspects that need to be considered and perfected as much as possible. Before the official start-up, every prop, every shot, and every person must be well considered, otherwise it is easy to have problems when shooting.

Hollywood movies are generally U-shaped structure, the preparation period and post-production are particularly long, and the shooting time is relatively large, and the same is true for domestic regular crews, while the grass stage team generally has a particularly short preparation period, and they start to do it when they pull people up, but they are often full of situations when shooting.

In the past, Li Hao's filming was often short in preparation and post-production, because everything was in his heart, he strictly controlled the script and shot directly according to the script, so the cycle of movies and TV series was very short.

But this time is different, this time it involves the background of the late Ming Dynasty, and Li Hao strives for perfection in terms of costumes and props, rather than directly copying Hong Kong Entertainment.

Coupled with the action design and preliminary preparations, it took more time than Li Hao expected.

As early as half a month ago, the actor began to receive Wu Jing's martial arts training.

Li Hao couldn't accept that the movie he shot was rough and rotten.

Not only these, but also in terms of special effects, Li Hao also contacted Tiangong Brilliant early.

For special effects production, Li Hao also attaches great importance to it.

Many people complain that the special effects of domestic film and television are five-cent special effects, in fact, the reason is very simple, one is the problem of money, the money for domestic film and television works is mainly spent on actors, and the special effects cost is very small, you only spend five cents, and if you want to make special effects for fifty yuan, it is obviously impossible.

The other is the director's problem, the special effects are done according to the director's aesthetics, the director has to do what he says, and the effect made by the director's aesthetic is naturally wonderful.

Li Hao's understanding of special effects technology is actually limited, he knows ordinary special effects, 3D modeling, and he has limited understanding of advanced things such as motion capture, but that's it, it is already the upper reaches of the current domestic directors' understanding in the field of special effects.

Just after May Day, Li Hao took the crew to Hengdian.

In Hengdian, Li Hao held a grand opening ceremony, which attracted many people.

This time, the investment in "Embroidered Spring Knife" set a record since Li Hao filmed the movie, with an investment of up to 60 million.

Of course, Tong Liya has the highest salary, and Li Hao gave 10 million.

As for the other people's salaries combined, it is very small, less than five million!

It's just that Tong Liya's role is not heavy, but she just has the name of a heroine.

The reporter came not to see who the actor was, but because this was Li Hao's new movie.

After the start-up ceremony, filming began.

The actor Wu Jing, who plays Shen Lian and is also a martial arts instructor, is only two million.

Lei Jiayin plays Lu Jianxing, with a salary of 400,000 yuan.

Nie Yuan plays Jin Yichuan, with a salary of 400,000 yuan.

On the day of the start-up, a scene was filmed at night, that is, two soldiers patrolling the city held lanterns and found the Jinyi guards hiding in the alley, and then turned around and fled.

The most important thing in this scene is the environment, when it appears in the faint and lit firelight, it captures the taste of killing gods at night.

It took three shots before and after, and Li Hao gave way.

The next day, I filmed other scenes during the day, and the highlight was at night.

That is, Shen Lian, played by Wu Jing, sent the daughter of the Chen Mansion to the study as a hostage, and at this moment, the Chen father and son, who they Jinyiwei wanted to arrest, suddenly resisted.

I saw the vase thrown at Wu Jing, Wu Jing looked at the Chen father and son, and smashed the vase with one punch, this time, showing that Shen Lian is a martial arts master.

The fight in this room is just the beginning.

It didn't take too long to shoot and it was done.

“OK！” Li Hao filmed this scene three times and shouted, "Prepare for the next set of shots." ”

The next thing to shoot is to capture Xu Xianchun at night.

Xu Xianchun in this, as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, was born as a martial artist, not only has many minions, but is also a master himself.

This night scene is the second martial arts scene this time, the fight between Jin Yiwei and Jin Yiwei.

In the movie in his mind, Xu Xianchun was shelved, and there were only three people in the entire mansion, like a lost dog, Li Hao felt unreasonable, and revised it a few times after pondering it several times to highlight this scene.

Xu Xianchun found Li Jianyi, who had cooperated with him before, who was also a professional eunuch and played a eunuch many times.

When his subordinates were constantly killed, Xu Xianchun didn't want to sit still, so he made a move, and as soon as he made a move, he felt a sense of shock, and a martial arts drama began.

Wu Jing used a knife, and Li Jianyi also used a knife, and the two fought fiercely with knives.

In this martial arts scene, after Xu Xianchun was injured by Shen Lian, he escaped, Shen Lian sent a signal flare, and his two sworn brothers had already laid an ambush and blocked Xu Xianchun, and finally the three brothers joined forces and captured Xu Xianchun alive.

It took five days to shoot this scene before it was completed.

Two small fragments have created the image of Shen Lian's character, strong in martial arts, calm and resolute, not a reckless man who can only fight alone.

The filming of this kind of martial arts movie exceeded Li Hao's previous expectations, and it was even more difficult to shoot.

If you don't do the right thing, you have to do it all over again.

On the contrary, it is an emotional drama, focusing on brotherhood, as for the love story with the heroine, it was not deliberately rendered, so it was relatively simple to shoot in this regard, and Tong Liya finished filming for half a month.

Li Hao saw that more than half of the original planned time, but the shooting progress was one-third, and he looked helpless.

However, he didn't release the water, and he would rather spend more time filming than make do.

Li Hao couldn't help but be a little glad to let Wu Jing star Shen Lian, the action was designed by Wu Jing himself, and it was so difficult to shoot, if you find someone who has never filmed an action movie at all to act, I'm afraid there will be more problems in filming and the speed will be slower.

"Brother Jing, how is it, can you still afford it?" Li Hao handed over a bottle of water, and Wu Jing was applying the potion with the help of a medical doctor.

In a fight scene just now, Wu Jing was injured, which is the second time Wu Jing has been injured since the crew started filming.

"No problem, little thing!" Wu Jing grinned.

Wu Jing's acting career is very early, as early as 1995, he participated in "Kung Fu Boy Breaking Love", in 2001 in "The Legend of Shu Mountain", in 2003 in "Drunken Monkey", in 2005 "Slaying the Wolf" and other movies, in 1997 filmed "Tai Chi Grandmaster", 1998 "New Shaolin Temple", 1998 "Wipe Blood and Ask the Sword", 1999 "Xiao Li Flying Knife" and other TV series, has long been famous, known as the next 'Li Lianjie', the next kung fu superstar.
