Chapter 222 Shooting ING
Wang Zhengfei's costume has basically not been changed. Needless to say, it is Wang Zhengfei. How busy Wang Zhengfei is, just think about it. At the same time, he also serves as a director and leading actor.
These two positions are the busiest positions in the crew, not to mention two part-time jobs. Basically, Wang Zhengfei is the hardest in the crew. He rarely goes back to the hotel to rest. Basically, he is in the crew every day. He is either filming or directing. There is basically no free time in the crew. It's normal to sleep. Ordinary actors take off their makeup to rest when they don't need makeup, but Wang Zhengfei doesn't have this time. When he doesn't film, he is also responsible for directing. When he doesn't have free time, even when he sleeps in the crew, he wears clothes, and everyone who has filmed knows Dao, how uncomfortable it is to wear clothes, especially in the summer. Wang Zhengfei can't show how hot it is.
Unless the whole crew goes to rest, Wang Zhengfei will go to rest at the end of work. It is precisely because of Wang Zhengfei's desperate work attitude that he has taken a good lead to the whole crew, which makes the crew have no complaints. This is the case. It takes the time of one movie to shoot the content of two movies. Can you not Are you in a hurry? In such a hurry, can there be a great complaint in this crew?
Originally, shooting ancient costume dramas is much harder than shooting fashion dramas, and shooting armed martial arts dramas is several times harder than ordinary ancient costume dramas, and the difficulty of shooting "Qin Shi Mingyue" is a multiple of ordinary martial arts dramas, not to mention the content of the two films. Can this not make the crew complain?
Although the shooting salary of "Qin Shi Ming Yue" is very high, it doesn't bring such a toss, but as soon as they see Wang Zhengfei working so hard, they suddenly have nothing to say. They can only grit their teeth. Even Wang Zhengfei, a new director, is so hard that he has almost no time to rest. What else do they want?
Originally, some people thought about whether they wanted to leave, but now they can't leave. Otherwise, it is rumored that how to make a living in the industry. It's not the director's fault. They have paid a full salary and set an example. The hardest thing is for them. They can still say that if they leave like this, then one will eat. If you don't have a bitter name, you can't run away, and once you are crowned with this kind of hat, will you still be able to get ahead in the future?
How hard it is to shoot a film. The outsiders don't know. Don't the insiders know yet? It's right to suffer. It's impossible not to suffer. If you are afraid of suffering, no crew will dare to ask them in the future.
Wang Zhengfei smelled his body and seemed to be a little smelly. He smiled bitterly in his heart. He didn't return it for a while. After shooting this scene, he quickly went back to take a shower, and then changed this costume. Anyway, this kind of costume will usually be made into two or three sets, so as not to change it if there is a wear or something, so Wang Zhengfei is not worried about this.
At this time, Hu Ge had arrived at the scene and changed his clothes. Basically, there were only one or two sets of Xiang Shaoyu's casual clothes in the early days. In the later stage, there was only one style of general armor, and the difference was not big.
"Hu Ge, you're just in time. Wait a minute, I'll ask Wu Zhi to tell you about the shooting process!" Wang Zhengfei said that this is an indoor martial arts scene, which refers to the role of Xiang Shaoyu's appearance at the beginning. The scene arranged to highlight Xiang Shaoyu's strong martial arts is the competition between Xiang Shaoyu and a group of Xiang clans, and then beat Xiang clan down three or two times.
In the script, Wang Zhengfei also made a lot of changes. In the original work, Jing Tianming and Gao Yue are both twelve years old, while Xiang Shaoyu is fourteen years old. Except for Xiang Shaoyu, who can barely be regarded as a teenager, Jing Tianming and Gao Yue, that is, two children. These two children come together. Isn't this to promote puppy love?
And Wang Zhengfei found that the characters in "Qin Shi Mingyue" are surprisingly young, which is different from the previous martial arts novels. In the past, the old martial arts novels are often the appearance of old people, especially the first masters and so on. Basically, there is no 50 or 60 years old to be, but Qin Shi Mingyue Generally, such masters are in their early thirties, and most of them are in their forties. Compared with previous martial arts novels, it can really be regarded as a small story of low age, from the protagonist to the supporting role.
Wang Zhengfei deliberately changed his age a lot and adjusted Xiang Shaoyu to 18 years old, while Jing Tianming and Gao Yue were transferred to 16 years old. It was rare to open a golden finger, but he was forced to do nothing. After all, he can't really make children's movies.
But even so, after the reform, Wang Zhengfei and others are also big and small, which is not bad.
A martial arts finger came next to him, and then began to teach Hu Ge how to be handsome. This scene was originally to highlight Xiang Shaoyu's strong martial arts. Naturally, he had to be handsome enough. There is no doubt about this. These martial arts fingers are also very experienced in this regard, and they are definitely old-fashioned.
Thinking of this, Wang Zhengfei had to think of his previous painful experience in The Legend of Sword and Fairy. Although Wang Zhengfei himself is the actor of Li Xiaoyao, now The Legend of Sword and Fairy has set off a wave of fairy swords in the whole Chinese-speaking region. Several male and female protagonists in the play have been very successful, especially Wang Zhengfei and Liu Yi. Fei and An Yixuan have gained the eyes of countless people. Countless people have become their fans in this sad and beautiful love story. Wang Zhengfei and Liu Yifei will continue to play a couple in "Qin Shi Mingyue" after the Legend of Sword and Fairy, which has touched the hearts of countless fans, and even many people. They call Wang Zhengfei and Liu Yifei the best couple on the screen. Of course, they don't think so in Hong Kong and Taiwan. In Hong Kong and Taiwan, because of the popularity of Prank Kiss, they agree that Wang Zhengfei and Lin Yichen are the best couple on the screen, but no matter what, there must be Wang Zhengfei among them.
In the past, Wang Zhengfei just felt that the special effects of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" were not powerful, which was very weak. In his opinion, the special effects level of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" in 2005 was not as good as the level of the third-level film of the shipwreck in 1998. The level of computer stunts has changed year by year, and three years have changed greatly. Seven years have passed. It's not as good as the level of 1998, which can't be explained. Although the other party is a Hollywood blockbuster, and it still costs hundreds of millions of dollars, the Tang people certainly don't have the other party's financial resources, but such a poor special effects can only be said to be perfunctory. Although the outside world has been rumored that the essence of special effects are concentrated. In Hollywood in the United States, the essence of Hollywood's special effects is concentrated in light and magic, but it does not mean that there are no good stunts in other places, but there are no good films that can match these stunts. Of course, it is no denying that American stunts are indeed top-notch and first-class, but there are actually many first-class special effects companies in China. Although the money is not expensive, it is much cheaper than looking for a light demon. As long as the Tang people care a little, they will not do such a bad stunt.
In addition to the lack of stunts, the martial finger is not powerful, and it is not ordinary. At least it has the title of a martial arts film. The martial arts action is so weak. It doesn't make sense. If you pay a little attention to the martial arts of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" If you are not only attracted by those handsome men and beautiful women, you can notice that the martial finger level of The Legend of Sword and Fairy is really not as good as the second-rate. Wang Zhengfei is also a little strange. Li Guoli is a director from Hong Kong. Cai Yinong has also been there for a long time and has also formed a strong man of China Film Group. How can you not find a suitable martial arts finger? Moreover, it comes from Hong Kong. Hong Kong is really a group of martial arts fingers. Can't you really find a first-class martial arts finger? Or is it true that although it is called an ancient costume idol drama, the film is really as crystal as an idol drama?
In addition to Hu Ge, there are also a group of extras who came forward to listen to the guidance of those martial arts fingers. Not only does Hu Ge have to fight beautifully, but these people who play the Xiang clan also need to be beaten beautifully. It takes several aspects to cooperate to make beautiful movements, not one person.
At this time, Wang Zhengfei's mobile phone ringtone in his pocket. Wang Zhengfei picked it up and saw that it was Gao Yan's.
"Hey, why did you call!" Wang Zhengfei said that although Gao Yan is the producer of "Qin Shi Ming Yue", he has not been on the crew recently. It seems that it is because "Crazy Racing" is about to be released soon!
In these times, Wang Zhengfei's time has been reversed, and everything except shooting has been thrown aside by him. He can't figure it out for a lot of time now. He just vaguely remembers that it should be like this. The specific details are not very urgent.
However, Wang Zhengfei thinks that it is really not cost-effective to release "Crazy Racing" at this time. You know, there are two very important seasons in China, one is the Spring Festival and the other is the summer season. As one of the two most important seasons in China, the summer season is long enough for the Spring Festival. The situation is much more complicated than the Spring Festival. Basically, it is a large gathering of blockbusters, both at home and abroad.
You should know that there is no Spring Festival in foreign countries, and there is a Christmas schedule in foreign countries, so during the Spring Festival, you don't have to consider Hollywood blockbusters to grab the land. Even if there are one or two of them occasionally, it is not the climate, but the summer season is different. The summer season is the same all over the world. There are summer seasons all over the world. At this time In addition to the release of domestic blockbusters, foreign films have also been released one after another. Needless to say, the nature of competition. Therefore, Wang Zhengfei's "Immortality" and the intense shooting of "Qin Shi Mingyue" are all chose to be released during the Spring Festival. In addition to avoiding non-risks, there is naturally a time relationship. .
This "Crazy Racing" coincides with the summer season, but it is really not a wise choice to be released in the last two weeks of the summer season. After a summer season and two months of tossing, the money of the students in the summer season has long been tossed clean up. How much money is left? It is undoubtedly very unwise to choose to release at this time. Either earlier, or simply put it in September or October. Although it is not summer, there should be no strong opponent in the film released at that time.
For the current Crazy Racing, in addition to those blockbusters with huge investment, it is also unique and very appealing in small- and medium-cost movies, so if it is released at that time, it will undoubtedly have a good effect. At that time, it should be serious. It's invincible, and not many people can compete for it. That's good.
But what's going on with the release in mid-August? The previous blockbusters have just been bombarded in turn, eating up this small market. At this time, "Crazy Racing" was released when there was no money, but Gao Yan should also have his own difficulties in this choice. Wang Zhengfei believes in Gao Yan won't do such a confused thing. Since it has appeared, it must have its own reasons.
"It's the premiere of "Crazy Racing" the day after tomorrow, and you are the first screenwriter of this film. How can you not come? I know you are crazy to shoot "Qin Shi Mingyue" now, but I tell you that you must come over. Don't shoot tomorrow. Have a good rest during this period, you It's also hard work, but you can't continue to shoot like this, and then you can participate the day after tomorrow!" Gao Yan said worriedly that Wang Zhengfei is now the pillar of Star Entertainment, but nothing can happen. I called in advance for fear that you would be in a hurry and not ready for anything!"
Wang Zhengfei thinks that what Gao Yan said is also reasonable. During this period, whether it is him or the crew, he feels a little tight and can't have a good rest. Tomorrow, take advantage of this rare opportunity to make a good repair, and no one will say anything.
"Well, I'll take a break. Where's the premiere?" Wang Zhengfei asked.
"We decided to put the premiere in Xiamen, because we were shooting there during that time, so after discussing with Ning Hao, I simply put the premiere there. In terms of the popularity of "Crazy Racing" now, it doesn't have much impact, and it doesn't have to be in Yanjing. The two places of the sea are not!" Gao Yan explained.
Wang Zhengfei nodded. This is true. There is really no need to be in Shanghai and Yanjing. It's not impossible to shoot and premiere anywhere!
"I see, don't worry, I'll have a good rest tomorrow, and then attend the premiere of Crazy Racing the day after tomorrow!" Wang Zhengfei quickly promised, isn't this the purpose of Gao Yan calling in person?
"Well, I'll go to work first!"
"All's it, 88!"
