Chapter 116: The Weiya Group
Cao Hao came out once in the first month of Beiying, and communicated with Cao Ping about the analysis of the internal qi running line, and proposed to stimulate the acupuncture points on the chong pulse by means of silver needle probing, and first control the internal qi in the chong pulse, but the specific feasibility still has to be tried slowly by Cao Ping, which takes time. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Since Cao Hao will consume a large amount of Cao Ping's hard-earned internal qi every time he appears, before warming the kidneys, this kind of consumption is still too luxurious, so Cao Ping and Cao Hao agreed to change the meeting time to once every three months. But Cao Hao knew Cao Ping's real reason, because as soon as Cao Hao came out, he teased Shang Yuxian fiercely, and directly gave people a wall knock in the corridor, which made the little girl see Cao Ping blushing for several days, which made Cao Ping very embarrassed, so he had this agreement with Cao Hao, which made Cao Hao very despised.
In the next two days, in addition to being familiar with the script every day, Cao Ping chatted with Zhang Zhen and them. The next day, Nie Yuan, who played Zhao Jingzhong, and Ye Qing, who played Zhang Yan, also joined the group, and the crew became more and more lively. Time flies quickly, and the start-up ceremony is about to begin.
Before 2000, there were few opening ceremonies for mainland films, although since ancient times, Chinese people have a tradition of worshiping ghosts and gods, but after the founding of New China, the prevalence of atheism has gradually disappeared this ritual, but this tradition is still preserved in Hong Kong. After the decline of Hong Kong films a thousand years later, a large number of Hong Kong directors and actors went north to develop in the mainland, and also brought this ritual to the mainland.
In fact, even the opening ceremony of Hong Kong films did not say which god to worship, mainly because in the early days of film, the film in the camera was easy to be accidentally scratched by the parts inside during shooting. If "scribing" occurs, it will cause immeasurable losses to the crew, but the machine scribing is unpredictable and difficult to prevent, and the only thing that can be done is to cover the camera with a red cloth to "suppress evil spirits" in order to seek psychological comfort. In fact, it is a kind of calming effect.
Lu Yang naturally didn't believe in this, he held such a ceremony, in fact, it was done as a press conference, and it was used as a publicity for the movie, so he also held a start-up ceremony in a similar way.
I built two tables, covered them with banners that were ready to start, covered them with red cloth and placed a camera on them, and offered a small set of three animals -- one each for chickens, ducks, and fish, and some fruits, which would not cost a few hundred yuan in total. invited a few media reporters to take pictures, send some red envelopes, and write two press releases, and it was over.
This is the first time Cao Ping has participated in the boot ceremony, and he originally felt very curious and thought it should be fun, but only then did he find that it was so boring, which made him very disappointed.
After taking photos, arrange for someone to entertain the reporter for dinner, and the director took the actors to the set to start filming.
In the first scene, it has always been a simple scene, striving for a pass, and asking for good luck, which is a convention, and the road guide is naturally no exception. In the first scene, he chose the scene where Shen Lian and Zhou Miaotong met in Nuanxiang Pavilion.
In the plot, the two met at night, so although it was broad daylight, it was still necessary to shoot the night scene, which required the gaffer to come out. On the set, Zhou Miaotong's room is indoors, and after using a curtain to block natural light, and then through the internal lighting, a night scene has been presented. The director is only responsible for asking whether it is day or night in the shot, and the rest is what the gaffer does. A top lighting engineer can make the lights look like natural light, but they are so beautiful that the audience can't tell the real from the fake. Although the lighting engineer of the crew did not reach that level, it was still easy to lay a simple night scene.
The actor changed his costume and came out, Liu Shishi said that he was wearing thin silk clothes, Zhang Zhenke was bitter, underwear, jacket, and outer clothes were also covered with a cotton vest, and a melon skin hat was buttoned on his head, Wang Qianyuan looked at it with a tangled face. Zhang Zhen's image, just by looking at it, he had a fire on the soles of his feet, and his back was sweating, and he didn't know what it would be like when it was his turn.
In order to fit the plot, there is also a brazier in the room, which needs Zhang Zhen to play with, and Zhang Zhen has nothing to love.
In order to create the warm glow of the flame, the room casts a dim light with warm lights, and the large wattage bulb hangs overhead, making people smoke overhead. But there was no way, as soon as the director put the actors in place, Liu Shishi had to obediently climb to the hot bed and lie down.
After the preparation of each unit, the director sat on the chair, shouted with a loudspeaker and started, and the field worker stood in front of the camera with a board and said: "The first scene of "Jinyiwei" is one shot at a time. With a snap, the camera began to record, and in an instant, Zhang Zhen and Liu Shishi were already in the play, and Cao Ping couldn't help but watch it happily on the side, this is the quality of a professional actor.
Zhang Zhen sat in front of the brazier, focusing on the charcoal fire in the basin, as if he wanted to make the room warmer, while Liu Shishi didn't seem to feel the heat of the bed board and lay quietly on the bed.
The camera filmed Zhang Zhen's expression through her body, and after lying down for a while, Liu Shishi slowly sat up and said softly: "Go to bed and sleep." ”
Zhang Zhen didn't dare to look at her, just stared at the corner of the table and said, "I'll go to the yamen in a while." ”
Liu Shishi didn't make a sound, slowly stood up, walked two steps and sat on the chair on Zhang Zhen's side, Zhang Zhen raised his head and looked at her, Liu Shishi said: "You are the most interesting, come to Nuan Xiang Pavilion, spend money and don't go to bed, you are the only one." ”
Hearing this, Zhang Zhen lowered his head, avoided her eyes, stood up instead, and said, "I'll sit there." He sat down in a guest chair farther away.
After a moment of silence, Zhang Zhen said, "When I have saved enough money, I will redeem you." ”
Liu Shishi slowly spoke, with a hint of a smile on the corner of her mouth, and sighed: "My Lord General Banner...... Besides, this is a brothel of the Department of Corrections, and there are no documents from the Criminal Department...... No one can get out. ”
Zhang Zhen looked back at her, with a hint of expectation and longing in his eyes, and after a moment, he turned back again, took the embroidered spring knife on the table, and said to her: "It's almost time, I'm leaving." ”
was about to walk to the door, Liu Shishi opened her mouth and said, "You don't have to change your clothes next time." ”
Zhang Zhen stopped and said, "I'm afraid you don't like that official uniform." ”
Liu Shishi turned her face and said, "Who here doesn't know, you are Lord Jinyi Wei Shen." ”
Zhang Zhen didn't look back, walked quickly to the door, pushed the door and walked out.
Liu Shishi slowly turned her head, as if she was a little stunned.
"Click!" shouted the road guide.
Zhang Zhen took off his clothes in an instant, the underwear inside was already soaked, and Liu Shishi also pinched her neckline and fanned the wind.
The road director shouted: "Very good, the actor continues to maintain, take a break for two minutes, and strive to shoot the next scene of this scene in one go." ”
Cao Ping retreated from the side, he couldn't continue to watch the excitement, he had his own things to do, this was the first time he had done a movie as a whole, there were too many problems to communicate, and the main thing was the tacit understanding with the Weiya group. When he tested Weiya yesterday, he had already found that the shot of Weiya hanging out would be very abrupt, and the road guide wanted a realistic style of fighting, although there was light work, but it was just a cornice, not like catkins, this thing still had to be run-in. Also, he doesn't have a specific idea of the knife design of the three Jinyiwei brothers, let alone cooperate with the group drama to fight, the dragon and tiger martial artists of the crew are all recruited from the Beijing Film Studio, although the level is still okay and can be used, but the overall quality and cohesion are still a problem, after all, they are all old fritters, and they have to come to the majesty of the tree by themselves, otherwise the team is not easy to bring!
After calculating it in this way, Cao Ping has a lot of things to deal with, which can't help but make him feel a little clueless, and he only realized at this time how important it is to have a mature, stable, and trustworthy team as a martial arts or martial arts actor. Just like Jackie Chan's family class, or Yuan Heping's Yuan family class, they are all decades of old brothers, who know their roots and know their roots, and they can also ensure professionalism. Shouldn't I also think about forming my own team in advance? It's really useless! As soon as this idea appeared, it kept lingering in Cao Ping's mind.
Shaking his head and suppressing his thoughts, Cao Ping sorted out his thoughts, and now it is the most important thing to deal with the urgent work at hand first. After thinking about it, Cao Ping decided to communicate with the Weiya group first to see how to solve the problem of real shooting with light work.
"No! still no!" Cao Ping waved his hand and said to Lao Chen of the Weiya Group, untying the tightrope on his body as he spoke.
"It's still not good to shoot it like this, the force of the whole person is still the force that comes from above, and it looks like it's still being lifted, no. Cao Ping said.
Lao Chen rubbed his forehead in embarrassment and said, "The problem is that Weiya is such a thing!
Cao Ping shook his head and said, "That's not the case, you still don't understand what I mean, I'll show you it." ”
As he spoke, Cao Ping walked to the wall, took two steps back, rushed forward, borrowed his feet from the wall twice, stretched out his hand and pressed lightly on the wall, and his body had flipped over the three-meter-high wall.
"Okay!" Lao Chen applauded desperately, and Cao Ping turned back from the other end of the wall with a black line, and said: "Don't just watch the excitement! You see how I crossed the wall just now, right? ”
Lao Chen smiled bitterly and said: "Master Cao! You are really kung fu, of course you are amazing, but those actors can't do it! If they can go over the wall like this, what else do they want our Weiya Group to do?"
"Who told you that they must not work?" Cao Ping said: "You still haven't looked carefully, I just went over the wall with a total of three borrowing points, the most important thing is the first two, that is, the two times that I stepped on, those two strokes are to provide me with the original power to rush up, and my action over the wall is a borrowing rhythm, so it is real and good-looking." And for the actors to achieve such an effect, it is also necessary to have a rhythm, you can't pull up in one go, you have to control the power according to the rhythm, you can't pull people up at once. Take the example I just had, your Wia group will divide the force into three stages, that is, my three borrowing points. If Zhang Zhen comes to shoot this shot, you will exert force according to the three borrowing points, give him three small upward impulses, and the general direction will be controlled by him, then the shot will be very different. ”
Seeing that Lao Chen still didn't seem to understand, Cao Ping sighed and said, "If you don't understand, you can go up and give it a try, and you will understand what I mean." As he spoke, Cao Ping walked to the wall and drew a circle of the three borrowing points he had just used. Over there, the Weiya group also hung Lao Chen on the tightrope.
"This time it's manual. Cao Ping walked to the Weiya group of pullers, took the wire rope, and said, "Don't pull it, I'll pull it." Saying that, Cao Ping shouted to Lao Chen: "Lao Chen, you run to the wall, you have to exert your strength, I just give you a power to rely on, or you have to rely on yourself to turn over, but I promise that you will definitely be able to pass, you believe me." ”
Lao Chen nodded, tightened the tightened the tightrope in the collar of his neck, walked two steps and ran towards the wall, ran to the wall, Lao Chen jumped up desperately, but felt a force to lift himself, quickly came to the first borrowing point, and then let go, Lao Chen hurriedly stepped on the first borrowing point with his feet, kicked hard, and his body rose up a little more, at this time the power on the wire rope pushed him to the second borrowing point, Lao Chen kicked again, his body rushed, and he had reached the top of the wall. When he was about to land, the wire rope was tight again, and he had landed firmly on the ground.
"How's it going? Got it!" Cao Ping pulled him back and forth a few more times, Lao Chen slowly became proficient, seeing his vigorous posture in the video taken by the mobile phone, Lao Chen stretched out his thumb to Cao Ping and said: "Master Cao, I am convinced, I really have you, shoot like this, the fat pig can also go up the tree!haha!"
Cao Ping smiled: "Now you understand, right? It's a matter of rhythm." ”
"Understood, understood!" Lao Chen waved his hand and said: "Now I know what to do, it's just a matter of practice, who can make perfect, I'll let the people below practice a few more times, just look at it!"
