"Director, are you going to shoot an action scene today? Didn't I remember that there were other scenes to be filmed on the previous schedule? ”

After coming to the director's side, Gu Yi asked.

But then the director scolded and said: "Originally, I was going to shoot the scene over there, but they haven't set up the scene yet." ”

When speaking, the F content is extremely high.

directly scolded the props team for a bloody head, obviously he must have scolded more fiercely just now.

"Okay, but director, which action scene are we going to shoot today? I've learned a few of the last moves. ”

The director shook his head: "It's not those fights and action scenes flying in the sky, it's the part where you catch the food with a plate in the restaurant, you bump into Mary Jane, and then the milk bread and all the food flies into the sky." ”

Gu Yi nodded, thinking that this scene should be easy to shoot, anyway, there are special effects, he only needs to make the action realistic, and he will add all the special effects in the later stage.

But as the director talked about the play, Gu Yicai found that the director didn't seem to plan to use special effects in this paragraph, but planned to shoot in real action.

In other words, Gu Yi had to hold the plate next and catch all the milk, bread, apples and everything on the plate.

Gu Yi was stupid, how long does this have to be filmed?

Because he didn't know that this scene was going to be filmed for real purposes before, he didn't practice at all.

Although he also firmly believes that he can succeed if he practices enough times, this already belongs to the category of acrobatics.

Which one makes people shout wonderful acrobatic performances on stage is not something that those acrobats practice behind the scenes, day after day, year after year.

But the director is not in a good mood now, although Gu Yi is the creator of this IP, he is still the biggest director in the crew, each director has his own style of acting, usually a director who pursues, once he decides that shooting in a certain way can highlight the plot more, then he must use it, even if it is wrong, he has to give it a try.

So Gu Yi finally agreed.

The main reason is that he feels that if this part can be really filmed, the effect will definitely be stronger than the special effects.

Then the director started filming directly.

Nowadays, digital cameras are used for shooting, and there is no waste of film or anything like that, at most, you can't shoot, which wastes everyone's time and increases the cost of shooting.

"Wait a minute, the food will fall in the order of apples, milk, bread and plates, so when you pick it up, their approximate location will be like this."

The director said as he laid the food on the plate.

Gu Yi looked at it, but he was still a little big.

Still, he plans to give it a try.

They then shoot the front shot, where Parker is sitting eating, and someone accidentally spills the soup on the floor, at which point Mary Jane walks over with her own plate.

Because I didn't pay attention to my feet, I stepped on it with one foot, and then I just leaned back, and the plate in my hand was thrown into the sky.

Seeing this, Parker stood up and hugged Mary Jane by the waist.

I took the plate again.

Gu Yi had practiced all the previous shots, so the dinner plate was held firmly in his hand, but what he was going to face next was the food that fell.

As a result, the apple fell first and hit the head of the actor who played Mary Jane, and the milk fell on the plate, but when it fell, it knocked over the plate.

The heroine held her head and looked a little painful.

After all, it is impossible not to hurt when you are hit on the head by an apple.

And she's not Newton, she can have an epiphany when she smashes it.

Seeing this, the director hurriedly came up to comfort him.

However, there is nothing wrong with the previous shots, including Gu Yi's expression when he holds the dinner plate in his hand and looks up.

"Okay, wait a minute, shoot this shot again, Gu, Ling still maintains the previous level."

Gu Yi nodded.

Then they came again, only this time Mary Jane's posture when she fell was a little too abrupt, although Gu Yi still caught each other, but the posture was a little awkward.

I had no choice but to reshoot.

When it was the fourth time, this section of the shot was shot again, but they were still smashed a few times.

This time, the bread fell directly on Gu Yi's head.

However, when Parker, played by Gu Yi, picked up people and things fell from the sky, there was a switch in the middle, because he wanted to give a close-up of the food in the sky.

So they can start here.

But in view of the fact that the actors are not in a good state now, the director let the two of them rest first, and then asked the staff to go up and throw the plates.

Because the next shot is after the switch, the plate flips in the air, and then the food has to stay straight up and down.

On this short plot of less than two seconds, they filmed for an hour.

to meet the director's requirements.

And the staff is already too tired.

After all, the director felt that he could slowly find some feel by letting one person do it, so he didn't ask for a replacement.

In the process, more than 20 cartons of milk were fried, more than 30 apples were broken, and more than a dozen dinner plates were broken.

And then it was Gu Yi's turn to pick up things, and this shot would be broadcast for a maximum of three or four seconds.

But in order to save time for shooting, Gu Yi thought of another way.

"It's a good idea, I tried it just now, and if you can't fix the plate, it's really hard to keep him balanced."

Then he agreed to this request.

Then Gu Yi took the plate here first, and shot it back and forth more than ten times, before three shots met the director's requirements.

Immediately afterwards, they found a strap to stick to the back of the plate, and then asked Gu Yi to put the gloves inside, so that the hand could be fixed on the plate, and the shaking caused by the food falling on the plate could also be more realistic.

Immediately after that, there was the staff who threw things, stepping on the ladder to the high place, holding these props in their hands.

Then start throwing them down in turn.

In this shot, Gu Yi needs to hold Mary Jane with one hand and pick up things with the other.

And Mary Jane had to keep looking at Parker with a smile of surprise in her panic.

But even if the hand and plate are fixed together, this shot is really difficult to shoot.

"Eh, it's gone! One more time. ”

"Throw it crooked, do it again."

"Hit me on the head, do it again."

……

"Damn, what's wrong with it again?"

"The apple is flying, why do you still have a plate?"

"Damn, there's only one last tremor left, can this be crooked?"

“F **k！”

“ Holy shit！”

“ Oh my god.”

Gu Yi didn't know how many times he took it, at first he could still take it calmly, although sometimes he would be smashed, but there was no way to do it, but as the staff was able to throw it accurately, he could also start to receive some, but he still had to drop it every time, so Gu Yi gradually became irritable.

And not only Gu Yi is scolding, but everyone else is also scolding, but it is not Gu Yi who is scolding, but failure.

In the end, Gu Yi picked up other things several times, but the plate containing food that fell in the end did not fall on the top of the milk carton.

The whole crew was a little devastated.

"How many times has this been?"

"133rd."

Gu Yi felt that his hands were shaking.

This is a full 133 times, and Gu Yi feels that he is about to be smashed.

Even the director was doubting whether this scene could be filmed, because he could see that Gu Yi was really working hard, and the progress was fast, including himself, he himself tried more than ten times on the stage, and found that it was not as good as Gu Yi.

"Let's do it the last 20 times, and if it doesn't work, we'll use special effects for this section."

The director said.

But when Gu Yi heard this, he didn't want to give up at all, because he almost succeeded just now.

If he had used special effects from the beginning, he would have been able to accept it, but now that he has suffered so much and been smashed so much, and finally has to use special effects to do it, wouldn't the previous hard work be in vain.

"Director: I think we can succeed, and since we've all started, let's stick to it."

"Are you serious?"

"Of course."

"OK, then we still have an hour to use today, if it's late, the light won't be enough, if we can't shoot today, we'll continue tomorrow."

"Okay, director."

Finally, on the 149th time, Gu Yi caught everything.

Seeing this, everyone else couldn't help but cheer out.

But the director immediately stopped them.

Gu Yi was also very excited at this time, because the previous 148 attempts were extremely painful for him, not only did he have to be highly concentrated, but his right hand also had to bear the weight of each food drop.

Now his palms were numb and covered in sweat, including the back of his hand.

The same heroine was also very proud in her heart just now, although she didn't need to do anything, just lay on Gu Yi's arm, but every time she had to keep the state in the play, in case Gu Yi could receive it this time, they would have to continue to act.

So after receiving it, the two looked at each other and continued to interpret the plot later.

After finally filming this segment, the staff finally couldn't help but start cheering excitedly.

“ohhhhh！”

The cheers suddenly resounded throughout the crew, and they surrounded Gu Yi while shouting.

Gu Yi's heart was also full of a sense of accomplishment at this time.

However, after filming, he still let go of the other party as soon as possible.

And when filming this drama, Gu Yi actually had two stand-ins.

One of them is mainly to complete some dangerous and difficult actions for Gu Yi, and the other is Gu Yi's face replacement.

Because in some dangerous actions, it is also not suitable for Gu Yi to shoot in person, although Gu Yi said that he can do it, but the director feels that it is not necessary, if Gu Yi is really injured because of filming, it will undoubtedly be a huge blow to the filming progress of the crew.

But Gu Yi thought about it, if he happened to have a face, he wouldn't have to shoot a kiss scene.

After being with Yu Xue, Gu Yi only felt a little strange when he went to shoot a kiss scene with other actresses.

The director and the actress who played Mary Jane both smiled and said that Gu Yi was really an innocent little boy after learning the reason why Gu Yi didn't shoot the kiss scene.

Others praised themselves like this, and Gu Yi also blushed slightly for face.

After going back in the evening, Gu Yi made a phone call with Yu Xue.

It's noon in China, so Gu Yi is going to sleep here, and Yu Xue has just finished lunch and plans to take a lunch break.

"Alas, Xiaoxue, you don't know, I was tired of picking up the dishes today." Gu Yi talked about today's filming, and Yu Xue said with a smile that Gu Yi can also take on some acrobatic scenes in the future.

Then I asked about the filming scale of this drama, Gu Yi explained the matter originally, thinking that Yu Xue would have a little temper, but to Gu Yi's surprise, Yu Xue said that it would be no problem if she simply showed it in the play.

In Gu Yi's filming, Yu Xue's bottom line is that if there is a kiss scene, you have to borrow a position.

The rest is understandable, after all, there will inevitably be physical contact during filming, and it is impossible for Gu Yi to pick up those tertiary films anyway.

And the domestic market must be considered, so it is not very likely that Gu Yi will take on some dramas with a larger scale.

After all, Gu Yi himself still wants to take the road of film and television, if he can't even have physical contact with actresses, then there are not many scenes that can be filmed.

In this way, after the scene on the other side was arranged the next day, Gu Yi continued the follow-up shooting.

This time, Spider-Man is still according to the original script, because when Gu Yi was talking to them, he gave the origin of Spider-Man and some later plots to Nisdi.

At the beginning, Gu Yi was also an ordinary student at a school in Queens, New York, but unlike the original, Parker became Asian.

Due to the death of both parents, he was often bullied and ridiculed by his classmates at school.

And the identity of being Asian makes this phenomenon even more natural.

Even Gu Yi's height and size are much taller than Toby Maguire.

In the later plots, the director also added some other scenes, such as when Parker was bitten by a genetically modified spider, he gained extraordinary strength and reflexes, and if someone bullied him at school, he would fight back very strongly.

This plot made Gu Yi like it a little.

In particular, a dozen or so people were added.

However, just after the end of their first month of filming, the first batch of people from the domestic animation company also came to study.

There were five people this time, four men and one woman.

And because it was a work visa, the crew also arranged accommodation for them.

They stayed in the hotel during the filming.

The crew is responsible for food and accommodation, anyway, such a large crew is not bad for the food and accommodation expenses of these five people.

But after the movie is finished, they have to rent a house near the company, and they also pay for their own food.

And this fee will have to be paid by the company at that time.

But in order to allow these people to learn the technology back, the company does not lose this money.

"I've already told the director that you will stay here for half a year, and when the movie is finished, it will be the Chinese New Year, and then we will go back together.

After the New Year, you come here first, and I will ask Brother Song to bring you over, and after you settle down, you will follow them here to learn post-production special effects.

But in addition to special effects, the technology of live capture is also the focus of your learning, although we will mainly do 3D to 2D animation in the future, but if you want to work in the field of animation, live capture is also an indispensable part.

If there is any problem in the process, you can all go to Brother Song, and another point is that when you have nothing to do, you can also go out and take a look by yourself, don't go to some places, and don't have conflicts with people, especially at night, it's best to go out less, after all, it's still not safe here. ”

After telling them, Gu Yi went to chat with Song Fuxing for a while, and the content was also to bring these employees from China well.

In this way, the scenes were filmed one after another for more than half a month, and on this day, the director suddenly found Gu Yi.

"Now I've got some people to score our films, but most of them are BGMs, and the movie needs a theme song, so I wanted you to do it, because I think you should have a deeper understanding of the character and the movie."

After hearing this, Gu Yi nodded.

"Okay."

Spider-Man is just a domestic name, but this movie is mainly released in North America.

Wait for the release here. It will be put in Europe and Asia one after another.

So Spider-Man also has an English name called spiderman.

And the theme song should naturally be in English.

Although the first part also has a theme song, Gu Yi still plans to take out "Something Like This" first.

But in this song Batman appears.

At first, Gu Yi wanted to change it, but Gu Yi thought about it again, Marvel is a universe, and DC is also a universe, and now that Marvel has begun to exert its strength, DC will definitely not be left behind in the future.

What's more, the Joker is also one of Gu Yi's favorite DC characters.

So he left Batman in this song, and he was going to take it out sooner or later anyway.

Now they may not be able to read it, and they may understand it as a bat, a racket man, or something like that, depending on the translation, but bat itself also has the meaning of a bat.

But it doesn't matter, even if you understand it as a bat, there are many people who like baseball in the United States anyway.

As for the fists in the lyrics, it can also be understood as the iron fist of a baseball player.

After writing it, Gu Yi took the song to the director and gave it to the other party, and the other party was very satisfied after listening to it, and then found a professional recording studio and asked Gu Yi to record the song, and he wanted to use it as the theme song of the movie when he turned back.

And then make an album with the other film soundtracks.

and said that when the album is produced, the first one will be given to Gu Yi.

"Actually, I liked the script very much, there were two directors at the time, and I was in competition, but then I won them and became the director of this film, and I had a hunch that this series would be the beginning of a very great superhero movie."

Gu Yi smiled when he heard this: "Of course, the background of this world is very huge, and if you want to finish filming this series, it may take decades." ”

But hearing this, the director sighed: "I really like this series very much, but I don't know if I will have the opportunity to be the director of this series again in the future." ”

"Director, if our film can be successful at the box office, of course you will have a chance in the future."

"It's going to work, and I seem to have seen our film win multiple awards at the Oscars.

Maybe at that time, you will also become the first best actor from China in Oscar film history. ”

Gu Yi shook his head instead.

"Director, I'm afraid this won't work, will the Oscars allow a Chinese to win the final trophy?" I know that every year if you want to win the Oscars, you need to operate, and there are even many agencies that specialize in these things, and it is as difficult for me to win the Oscars as it is for a Chinese to become the president of the United States. ”

But although the director also knows that this is almost impossible, he does not have any discriminatory ideas, in other words, his position is relatively pure, as long as he can make a good movie, it doesn't matter whether he is white, black or yellow.

So he actually still has a glimmer of hope.

"But in the history of the United States, there are precedents for black people to be presidents."

Gu Yi shook his head again: "Using black people in movies here is politically correct, but yellow people are not in such a category." ”

The director was a little discouraged for a while, in fact, they also have a lot of movies where superheroes save the world, but he thinks differently from some of the top executives of Nesty, he thinks that Spider-Man will create a great precedent.

Especially during the filming time of more than a month, he also chatted with Gu Yi about some stories about the Marvel Universe.

Although Gu Yi only revealed a very small part, and even they couldn't shoot the complete plot by themselves based on these things, the director still thought that if they could shoot this whole story, it would be extremely exciting.

But in any case, the director already plans to wait for the film to be produced before participating in the Oscars.

In fact, Gu Yi also has an ambition that Spider-Man will also have a lot of appearances in the plots of other superheroes in Marvel's follow-up.

At that time, this image will also be more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Although there will certainly be a lot of resistance at first, when people gradually accept it, it will be regarded as a disguised cultural export.

In your American superhero movies, white superheroes can save the world, black people can, and yellow people can.

Although other characters must still be played by others, when everyone mentions the story of Marvel or later DC, they will think that the founder of these worlds is a man named Gu Yi from China.

"But if I think about it this way, I can make some more anime in the future and broadcast it in Japan."

After thinking about it for a while, Gu Yi felt that his choice to buy an animation production company was simply too correct.

Even if some can't be filmed in China, the script can be sold.

If you can make a few more versions in China.

"It seems that we will still make good money in the future, at least to build up the company's overall technical strength."
