Chapter 33: Busy
Yan Ming did not let everyone wait for a long time, and the negotiation with the investor finally came to an end after a day of discussion.
The extras have all gone home, and only the professional actors and crew members are left in the entire crew.
Seeing Yan Ming's haggard smile, Wang Lung chuckled in his heart.
Yan Ming did not directly announce the investor's decision, but gathered all the personnel together, and after everyone gathered around, Yan Ming patted Wang Lung on the shoulder.
"I think everyone and I have the same thoughts in my heart, and the martial arts effect designed by Wang Lung for the crew can be said to be a classic. The filming of the crew in Jinan has ended, but Wang Long will not be able to continue to accompany the crew to complete the rest of the filming for some reason. ”
When everyone heard that Wang Long would no longer stay in the crew, a noisy sound sounded at the scene, and Yan Ming raised his hand to signal a temporary silence to listen to him finish speaking.
"The film "Snow in the Rivers and Lakes" has been filmed so far, everyone has put in hard work and efforts, and if the effect of the film declines because of Wang Long's departure, this is what everyone does not want to see. So I discussed with the investor for a day, and in view of Wang Long's personal reasons, the investor came up with a solution. This method requires everyone to sacrifice for a while to stay in Jinan temporarily. ”
Yan Ming didn't continue, but looked around to see everyone's reactions, and seeing that no one objected, Yan Ming smiled and nodded to everyone.
"Xie Lu thanks everyone for their support, your efforts will definitely pay off, and the method given by the investor is divided into three steps. First, the martial arts design we needed to shoot locations in other regions was provided by Wang Long, who was responsible for letting all the actors learn to design the movements, and if the time was too long, Wang Long would rehearse and shoot the images for retention, and Shen Jian cooperated with Wang Long. Although Wang Long is not in the crew, he can still integrate all the martial arts design into the film, so that everyone's efforts will not be in vain, which is why everyone stays in Jinan for the time being. ”
Yan Ming saw that everyone nodded, so he patted Wang Lung's shoulder and said, "You will be busy in the next few days, do you have any opinions?"
Wang Lung didn't reply, just smiled and shook his head.
"The second step is that after Wang Long has designed all the martial arts, the whole crew will go to other locations to shoot, due to the limited time, the shooting time and intensity will be increased, everyone may not have any holidays, and the investor requires that all the exterior filming must be completed by the end of October, enter the base to shoot the rest of the film, and the entire film shooting will be completed before the end of November and strive to be released before Christmas. Yan Ming solemnly told everyone present the investor's decision.
"The third step has nothing to do with everyone, during the filming of the location, the investor wants to build a new film and television base in Jinan, if everything goes well, the shooting part of our film base will be completed in the new film and television base, whether this idea can be formed, that is the problem that the investor considers, you don't have to care too much. If this can really be done, then Wang Lung must return to the crew at that time, so that it will not go against the reason why he can't leave Jinan. If it doesn't work, I will arrange for someone to meet Wang Lung in Jinan in advance, and Wang Lung will design a new martial arts effect. ”
Yan Ming saw that after everyone heard the wishes of the investors, everyone turned their eyes to Wang Long.
This is a bit incredible, although the martial arts effect designed by Wang Lung is perfect, but I didn't expect the investor to be even crazier, and he actually wanted to invest in the construction of a film and television base in Jinan.
It seems that the investor is very optimistic about the film "Snow in the Rivers and Lakes" filmed with the existence of Wang Long, and the investor has made clear the investment direction of future investment, that is, to completely tie Wang Lung to his chariot.
No one objected to the investor's proposal, and the impact of a successful film on anyone is huge. This sacrifice is not worth mentioning at all for people in the entertainment industry.
The film "Snow in the Rivers and Lakes" is destined to be popular, and everyone's worth will rise with the tide.
The whole crew is busy again, and everyone is full of hope for a better future.
In addition to Wang Long and Shen Jian, Mo Yanqing is the busiest one, for no other reason, although many people don't know how to do martial arts, but Wang Lung knows the way, and his skills are still very good, for such a free labor, Wang Lung can definitely kill himself without Wang Long.
Yan Ming summarized the martial arts scenes that needed to be filmed in other locations, nearly more than 800 scenes.
When Wang Lung almost vomited blood after hearing the numbers Yan Ming told him, he didn't understand how a film of more than 90 minutes could need so much.
Yan Ming explained very clearly, the films seen in the theater are all edited, a 90-minute film needs to shoot at least ten hours of scene content to edit a work, and many combinations must be edited for review, not just edited to be released, it needs to be reported for review, a film needs to be edited many times to pass the review, then more scenes need to be shot to combine, and the more scenes there are, the more options there are that can be combined.
Wang Lung looked at the introduction of more than 800 martial arts scenes in his hand and wanted to cry without tears, this was purely his own guilt.
At the beginning, Wang Lung served as an extras just to make a living, and he didn't want to be famous at all. Even if he later agreed to serve as a stand-in and martial arts instructor for the crew, it was just out of interest, and he didn't expect it to become today's situation.
Now Shen Jian has completely become his assistant, according to the introduction of the martial arts scene, Wang Long will first design a simple martial arts effect, and he and Shen Jian will practice first, modify and refine according to the problems that arise in the drill, and then let Shen Jian teach the actor hand in hand when it is completely formed.
During this period, all the cameras were fully turned on, but I was afraid that Wang Lung would teach too many things and the actors would not be able to remember, so after Wang Lung designed a set, the camera immediately recorded it.
Under normal circumstances, many actors are waiting in line for Wang Lung to come up with the design effect, and after Wang Lung and Shen Jian confirmed it, they let Shen Jian teach first, and in this vacuum time, Wang Lung pulled Mo Yanqing over and asked him to cooperate with the drill.
Mo Yanqing has martial arts skills, and she and Wang Lung cooperate very quickly, especially when Wang Lung designs martial arts effects for Mo Yanqing himself, often Wang Lung has not yet figured out how to modify it, and Mo Yanqing has already been able to put forward his own opinions.
After Wang Lung no longer followed the crew, Si Wensheng did not fit his stand-in anymore, but Si Wensheng did not ask for another stand-in, making it clear that he did not need it for the time being, and he would perform the rest of the scenes alone.
Therefore, Wang Lung is more strict with himself when designing Si Wensheng's martial arts effect, and some of the actions that Si Wensheng can't demonstrate will try to replace them with other moves, so it can be said that the most troublesome thing for the entire crew to design the effect is Si Wensheng.
Originally, there was Wang Lung as his stand-in, and the actions he couldn't complete could be completed by Wang Lung, but now it's different, everything needs to be realized by himself, and this transformation is also a test for Wang Lung.
Due to the tight schedule, all the actors and some of the crew slept very little every day, and their only advantage was that they could rest and recuperate while waiting for Wang Lung to come up with the design.
But Wang Lung can't do it, it's been three days, Wang Lung basically hasn't closed his eyes, and at most he meditates on his knees and rests for an hour every day. Everyone felt that Wang Lung was almost like a demon, he hadn't slept for three consecutive days, his spirit was still sufficient, and he couldn't see any tired figure at all.
But Shen Jian and Mo Yanqing, who gave Wang Long, couldn't do it, the two of them couldn't compare with Wang Lung, they struggled for three days in a row, they were sluggish, and all the burden was on Wang Lung alone.
It's okay to think about the design, but it's not okay to cooperate with the drill. Wang Lung was very puzzled by Mo Yanqing's situation, as a person who practiced martial arts, this fatigue was nothing at all, as long as he ran a few breaths and breathed a few times, the fatigue state could be removed.
But now Mo Yanqing's situation is just the opposite, after asking Mo Yanqing, she didn't know what Lu Dao was, let alone how to use it.
Yan Ming saw that everyone was very tired, and felt that it was just a waste of time to continue, and he had to think of a way to get the best of both worlds. Otherwise, the remaining 400 or so martial arts fights will definitely be tired before Wang Lung comes out, and he doesn't want to wait until everyone is listless when filming elsewhere, so he can't carry out his work at all.
Yan Ming suspended Wang Lung's work and expressed his worries, and Wang Lung looked around and realized that it was indeed as Yan Ming said.
In desperation, Yan Ming reconvened everyone and let everyone brainstorm to see if they could come up with a good solution to the current dilemma.
Everyone put forward a lot of opinions, but they were all vetoed, and when everyone was silent, they didn't even come up with an effective method.
Yan Ming rubbed his swollen forehead, glanced around, and finally fell on Wang Lung, he only now found that everyone was normal, only Wang Long was special, everyone was like a frosted eggplant, and Wang Lung's spirit shone.
"You see I'm useless, I'm a martial arts practitioner, I have been breathing and breathing since I was a child, and when I am tired, I can return to the same as before after running a few times. ”
Wang Long's hair was straight when Yan Ming looked at him, and he knew what the other party wanted, but it was too late.
"Can we learn this kind of exercise of yours?" Yan Ming asked directly.
"This kind of exercise can be learned by anyone, and it is not a secret that is not passed on, if you want to learn, I can teach it to you, but if you want to see results, it is not a day or two, and it will take a week at the earliest, but the effect is very small, and this kind of exercise needs to be persisted for a long time. Wang Lung expressed his opinion.
"That's okay, the exercise you said is good for everyone, learning a day early is a day, even if you don't use it this time, but the benefits are all in the future. ”
"Since Wang Lung, you are willing to teach, I won't design it today, everyone will learn this method of breathing and breathing with Wang Lung, and after learning it today, you will continue to cultivate your spirit tomorrow. ”
Yan Ming did not be polite to Wang Long, and directly issued an order.
It turns out that who can come across such a good thing as learning anti-fatigue exercises, and everyone raised their hands in favor of Yan Ming's proposal.
The whole crew presented a strange scene, everyone took Wang Lung as the starting point and lined up in a fan shape opposite him, and everyone sat cross-legged to listen to Wang Lung's lecture on the method of breathing and breathing.
Everyone's knowledge is different, and most of them don't even know the names and locations of the acupuncture points in the human body, so Wang Lung is very difficult to explain. In order to save time, he completely stripped away the acupuncture points that were not mentioned in the exercises, and just explained to everyone the problems that should be paid attention to when running the method of breathing and breathing.
Mo Yanqing is worthy of being born in martial arts, she was the first to learn, when she learned it, she tried to run it by herself a few times, although the fatigue state still exists, but the effect is still there, because she is a beginner, it is not as long-lasting as Wang Long's practice, so the effect is very small.
As everyone has been studying for longer and longer, Wang Lung has stopped explaining and let everyone experience it for themselves, try to run it on their own, and if it can run normally for a week, even if they have learned.
By the time the sun set in the west, most people had already learned, but only two of them were not good, and these two people Wang Lung were very familiar with them, and they turned out to be Ding Man and Mu Ning.
In order to help the two of them master this exercise as soon as possible, Wang Lung personally exerted his internal strength to rehearse the operation of the exercise through the bodies of the two of them, and after Ding Man and Mu Ning completely mastered it, it was already eight o'clock in the evening.
Everyone packed up their things and went back to the resort to rest and didn't continue working today.
Wang Lung is different from others, everyone is waiting for him, after returning to the resort, everyone else goes to sleep, Wang Lung is alone in the room, he has to hurry.
In fact, for the design of martial arts that created more than 800 scenes at one time, Wang Long's thinking will also be frustrated, and he wants to complete the task given to him by the crew perfectly.
Fortunately, Wang Lung has learned a lot of things, and although there are repetitive moves, it doesn't affect the effect, because there are many ways to crack each battle move.
