Chapter 545 The filming of the movie will be a great thing!

PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly ticket!
Boundless ancient road.

Umbrellas enter the guard of honor, and canopies block out the sun.Banners rolled up, horses neighed, people shouted.

Dusty old trees with strange branches decaying, light mottled and crows singing.

Main light position, auxiliary light position, backlight position, three-point lighting.The camera was attached to the ground, stones splashed, the shaft of the car rolled over, and the legs of horses and people passed quickly.

The staff held a rod microphone, and the stage worker next to him carried a reflector at a 45° angle to enhance natural light while achieving the effect of soft sunlight.

A few meters away, Chen Kai was holding a mirror chart and a pencil in his hand, and Yuan Baye was wearing a sun hat to look at it.

"Dragon Inn" is destined to be a very challenging movie in terms of scene scheduling. It is not only a big scene, but also a sensitivity to transcend the sense of the times.

After all, the martial arts movie itself is a kind of fantasy extension divorced from reality.

Wu Xiaozu also didn't want to turn this drama into a historical drama.

Or to put it another way.

Unlike the ancient costume dramas filmed in the mainland at this time, which admired the Soviet-style long-range shots, Wu Xiaozu's drama did not want to present too much epic sense, but had to be chivalrous and pyrotechnic.

A chivalrous man without fireworks is just a refinement of literary works.

now.

Under the canopy, six brown horses pull the chariot, and the surrounding soldiers hold a guard of honor.The staff of Lubo, composed of hoods, swords, axes, bows and arrows, accompanied them. Lubo was an ancient "guard of honor", including those who held fans, those who held peacocks, pheasant tails and phoenixes, raised buildings, raised pans, erected banners, and waved flags. .

Conch horns, horns, gongs, and drums accompany each other.

The guards were reorganized, followed by more than a dozen chariots.

On both sides of the Huagai chariot, dressed in big red python flying fish suits, hanging coconut ladles, eggplant belts and riding tall horses to guard the surroundings, each with a goose feather knife slung across their waists, eagle eyes patrolling around.

sideways.

Master Longhu is hanging on the wire, checking the buckles on his body. Behind the huge blower, there are hundreds of urea bags piled up, all of which are bought dry leaves.

This expense cost thousands of dollars.

Costume dramas are difficult to shoot, and it took 4 days to film a travel scene.In order to facilitate the shooting, Xiying Studio specially contacted the group performers, and the team appeared on the scene with more than 100 people.

Showing through the camera, a team of [-] people will have a mighty phenomenon, which is the sense of deception brought to the audience by the cameraman through shooting.

Movies are the art of deception.

"Report-"

The smoke and dust billowed, and the horse stopped. Wearing a dark round-neck robe and half-black armor, Jin Yiwei, who was carrying a goose feather knife and a hand crossbow, got off his horse, bowed down, bowed his head, raised his hands above his head, and offered a 2cm thick , a wax-sealed dark bamboo tube about 20cm long.

The light hit the visitor's face, and under the low light source, there was an inexplicably eerie effect.

Zhao Fei followed with a camera in his hand.

"Grandmaster Wala also dispatched a mission to Longmen Pass first! Jinyiwei Beizhen Fusi..."

The camera sweeps across the edge of the carriage, bronze rivets, reflecting the face of the person coming.

This convoy was going to meet Zhu Qizhen's Fajia, and the curtain on the chariot was lifted.

Chen Daoming was wearing a black embroidered python robe, with a white jade pendant hanging around his waist, and a red cloak, lying on his side with a temple crown on his head.

Hand holds a brass hand stove.

The cheeks are sunken and the eyebrows are extended.

The pupils are just as sharp as sweeping.

The little waiter with a white body and no need to wear red "wrapped" clothes is standing on one side holding a spittoon. The role of the waiter is Zhen Zhidan, a member of the Yuan family class.This role was also given to him by Eighth Master.

As his younger brother failed to become popular, Yuan Baye also began to train Zhen Zhidan.

"Crack! Next time, the staff hurry up and enter—"

As Brother Chen Kai made a decisive decision again, the on-site staff immediately rushed forward.Lighting scheduling, machine track laying.

Movie shooting is actually "waiting" most of the time.

The director has to wait for the director of photography to set up the arrangement and the lighting scheduling is completed, and they also have to wait for the props and scenery to return to their positions.

In this scene just now, there were more than a dozen shots.

In this life, the one with the fastest camera transition is undoubtedly "God of Gamblers".A scene in the casino, just 5 minutes, 190 shots.Today, the commercial films of Hong Kong films are about 90 minutes long, and the number of shots is basically maintained at around 1300-1500.

Hollywood has a similar number of shots at this time.

The duration of "God of Gamblers" is 3 seconds, the length of the film is 110 minutes, and the number of shots is 2200.

But when it comes to camera transitions, besides Wu Xiaozu's version of "God of Gamblers", the most classic is undoubtedly the scene of Wang Zuzhen changing clothes in "A Chinese Ghost Story". In 4 minutes, there are 170 camera transitions, which is quite sharp.

"This scene is mainly about Brother Hui, where you play Lu Wenzhao, who is superficially flattering Brother Ming, who plays Cao Zhiqin... You're going to come out from here soon..."

Wu Xiaozu was wearing a vest, pulled Liang Jiahui and Chen Daoming, and gave a serious talk, cupped his hands towards the sky, and lowered his voice, "Lu Wenzhao, a thousand households in the humble North Town Fusi, kowtow to Eunuch Cao—after you finish this, what do you want?" To kneel down—"

Regardless of the dust on the ground, Wu Xiaozu stretched his hands forward, threw his body on the ground, and shouted hoarsely, "Grandpa Cao, please forgive me for being late when I see a humble job!"

"Heh, Lu... Wenzhao~" Chen Daoming gasped, his eyelids drooped, and he stretched his legs and stepped down——

His gaze was wandering and scrutinizing, and his drooping eyelids were hazy and weird.At the same time, there was a smile between his lips.

There is a passion for examining and vigilant.

Without waiting for Zhen Zhidan next to him to react, Liang Jiahui took the initiative to play, knelt down, and used his back as a horse stool for Chen Daoming's Cao Zhiqin.

"That's roughly the case! This character needs to ask for this job..." Wu Xiaozu nodded.

The scene where the three of them are talking about a play here,
Zhen Zhidan who was watching, and Qingfeng Zangbei, the leading actor Li Lianjie who was touching up his makeup, were all stunned.

The two senior brothers looked at each other for some reason that they didn't understand.

"It looks good!"

Liu Xun squeezed out a smile and nodded to the old guys beside him. In this life, he played the role of the boss of Dongchang.

"We all know Ah Hui's acting skills, so it's not surprising. After all, I have collaborated with him in several films. It is not an exaggeration to say that thousands of people have thousands of faces. It must be the acting facade of Hong Kong movies today.

I didn't expect that a not-so-famous actor in the mainland would have this kind of ability, and he really enjoyed playing the role of Cao Zhiqin.

I also asked Azu about this character before, and it was roughly processed from the prototype of Cao Jixiang, and it must be the man from Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen who was captured by Oala.

Lu Wenzhao should be the deathbed of Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu?

This scene should be played by several parties. Hey, by the way, where is Zhu Qi Town, the pheasant? "Gu Feng, an old dramatist, forced a smug smile on his face.

"Lu Wenzhao must belong to Emperor Jingtai."

Jin Shijie said with a smile, "I heard from director Wu before that this "Dragon Inn" is an intrigue staged between the corners of the rivers and lakes. The protagonist Zhou Huaian should be Yu Shaobao's man.

Although Emperor Jingtai was recommended to succeed him, Yu Shaobao was afraid that this narrow-minded emperor would kill the former emperor Zhu Qizhen.

After all, in history, Emperor Jingtai was afraid of the minister who pushed him to the top. "

The outline of the story was almost guessed by the few drama bones talking.

Dragon Inn, in Wu Xiaozu's movie, seems to be a river and lake, but it is actually a temple.

People from Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu, people from Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen, people from Yu Shaobao, people from Wala Taishi Yexian, people from Empress Qian, and people from the Wala Gold Family Tutuobuhua.

The advancement and retreat above the temple will be staged between the earthen huts.

Of course, it is definitely impossible for a play to express all these clearly, but the outline and background of the story have to be designed in this way.

Just like the biography of a character, it may not be possible to act out his childhood, but the biography of the character must be involved, and even every point will be divided.These are the role support in the performance.

"Get ready, when you attack and kill~, spread out your posture and jump over. Hide behind the back of the knife and kill with one blow!"

Dong Wei stood in front of Wu Xing wearing night clothes, "Don't look at the camera. There will be staff to mark the frame, don't go out!"

"Everyone, be careful when throwing the arrows." Luo Lizhen also ordered to the side man.

In fact, the scene of shooting arrows indiscriminately in the movie is the simplest, which is to hold a handful of arrows and throw them over. As for some shots of arrows, they are all specially dealt with with broken arrows.

At this time, the special effects are not yet mature, and naturally the rain of arrows in "Heroes" will not appear.If the Qin State really had that rain of arrows, it is estimated... there is no need to kill 40 prisoners of war, just shoot them to death.

However, in terms of artistic processing, Lao Mouzi did a good job.

Every frame of Lao Mouzi's movie can be a screensaver.

In the corner where no one was paying attention, the curvaceous and plump Gong Li, wearing a green jacket with pipa sleeves and crows, stared straight at Wu Xiaozu, who was lecturing.

Unlike the little planner who hesitates and haws, director Wu knows how to act, and often explains it himself.

It made her curious.

Previously, Ye Weixin, Sister Lin and others had been talking in private and said that Wu Xiaozu was "the king of the set!"

But in the past few days, she felt that what she heard was believing what she saw.

The other party is not only well-founded, but also has a special understanding of each matter.

From lighting to photography, from costumes to sets, everything is at your fingertips.

This is different from Xiaomouzi.

Seeing Director Wu lying on the ground without any scruples, Gong Li nodded silently.

It can be seen that the other party really has an in-depth understanding of acting, even easier to understand than what their teacher at the Central Academy of Drama said.

To say I'm not nervous would be a lie.

Although she starred in "Red Sorghum", which is well-known abroad, she dare not say that her acting is better than Lin Qingxia, Liang Jiahui, Chen Daoming and others.

When she thought of playing against several people, she couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Seeing Wu Xiaozu walking towards this side, Gong Li thought for a while and went to meet him...

She decided that she would ask director Wu to guide and direct her performance, and she would tell her about the play!

From this point of view, the 19-year-old Gong Li... will be able to become a palace emperor in the future because of her devotion and ambition in acting!
With such a tireless desire to ask for advice, coupled with the guidance of famous teachers and my own hard work.

This woman will be a great treasure in the future!
　I checked the Ming Dynasty materials for several days... I went to the library to borrow a few books today, and my head was dizzy!
