Chapter 174 Shooting 4
That being said, dislike is such a dislike, but he turned his head and went back to the room, then took a small box from the room and handed it to Xia Yu, "I didn't buy it for you, it's a New Year's gift from your teacher!"

With a face of reluctance to let go, he is not such a hypocritical old man!
When Xia Yu opened it, it was a bracelet, but even a layman like Xia Yu could tell that it was full of water. As for the value, something that could come out of Mrs. Zhuang's hand was absolutely extraordinary.

The main reason is that when I went to visit Mrs. Zhuang last year, I heard that Mrs. Zhuang was not in good health. Xia Yu asked her grandfather for a bottle of medicinal wine that the old man had preserved for decades—it was when the old man was young, he went to the mountains and went to the countryside , The high-quality medicinal materials that were scavenged from the old forest again and again, of course, not only one bottle, but also for various difficult and miscellaneous diseases. Generally speaking, old man Yu's medical books are not for nothing.

Although the medicinal wine can't be said to cure all diseases, it did play a certain role in Mrs. Zhuang's body. After drinking it for a while, she did feel a lot better - it was a return of love.

Xia Yu smiled, "My teacher's wife still has a high emotional intelligence. I have to call my teacher and file a complaint!"

Zhuang smiled angrily.

Zhuang He talked more than Xia Yu, but he couldn't stop talking about the special products Xia Yu brought back.

Said that Xia Yu's father's cooking skills are already comparable to the head chef of Lin Xin's mansion, "It's also slightly inferior to Lao Zhang!"

"When your father retires, you can really open a restaurant by yourself. It's a pity to hide such a good craftsmanship!"

At five or six in the afternoon, the crew returned one after another, but one or two were exhausted, so they didn't get together for dinner.

The hotel has made arrangements here, if you need it, you can call it yourself, and the start-up will start early tomorrow morning, so you can't wait to take the time to take a good rest.

Xia Yu also plans to take a rest early, because from February onwards, most of her roles have been taken up by her.

At about ten o'clock, Tao Zhang returned to the set and brought Xia Yu a New Year's gift——

Xia Yu originally planned to go to bed for a snack made by Lao Zhang from Lin Xin Mansion, but when he heard that it was from Lao Zhang, he quickly got up.

Honest and brave: "I haven't seen senior brother for a few days, I miss Lao Zhang's dim sum!"

At 10:30, after brushing her teeth again, Xia Yu closed the door to thank the guests, lay down on the bed, and entered the system course with Yuanbao in her arms.

……

I woke up on time at [-]:[-], because I read the weather forecast last night and knew that there would be a sleet this morning, not too big.It doesn't have much to do with filming, most of the exterior scenes of the early war scenes have been filmed.

But it will definitely affect the morning exercise. Normally, Xia Yu would be fine even if he ran in the heavy rain, just come back and drink a cup of ginger tea.

But you have to pay more attention during the shooting, don't catch a cold when the time comes, not to mention affecting your own state, and delay the shooting process.

On this point, Zhuanghe's team had preemptively realized that when they rented this hotel, they had already built a temporary gym on the top floor, and because of the particularity of the crew, they split male and female to avoid some unnecessary question.

Xia Yu and Meng Dong packed themselves up and went straight to the gym.

When the two arrived, there was no one in the public area, and there was movement in the men's area. Xia Yu glanced sideways and stepped into the women's area.

It is said to be the ladies' area, but in fact, except for a few treadmills, the main area is divided into a large dance room, and the edge is for yoga massage and leg pressing.

In the middle is the dance hall, with three big mirrors, and the crew is also very caring.

Xia Yu was the first to arrive, and after about a few minutes, people arrived one after another.

"Sister Xia Yu, Happy New Year!" Zhao Xinhui, who plays Meng Shujuan, and her roommate.

Then came another newcomer actor from Shisanchai.

Those who can be selected for the role of Shisanchai, more or less have a background in dancing. In the past few days, they have taken a little remedial opera, and Xia Yu took the lead. I don’t know why these newcomers are behind the scenes, but they have worked hard to keep up. out of rhythm.

So much so that Zhuang He should scold or scold these rookie actors who sometimes have serious problems in filming, but are very willing to endure hardships and work hard, but they are a little more patient.

Xia Yu first did a set of Baguazhang, and then cooperated with a few newcomers to do a whole set of stretching.

The early morning exercise ended at about [-]:[-]. When I left, I was dripping with sweat, and said in Jinling's words: "I just sent out the red envelope, don't forget to get it, finish early, come down to have breakfast, and review it script!"

"Okay, thank you sister Xia Yu!" +N.

After all, he is a "big name", so even if Xia Yu is stingy about things like red envelopes, he still has to give them out, and it's not random. There are so many people in the crew, one per person, 888 per person.

Of course, in order to get back her money, Xia Yu also asked Meng Dong to throw her phone, and asked her to keep an eye on the other red envelopes in the group, "As much as you can grab!"

Meng Dong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "As for?"

Xia Yu closed her eyes and applied the mask, "Why not, my sister is still in debt now, if you don't grab it, how can I have the money to pay you wages!"

In addition, I knew that Meng Dong was an administrator of a certain Xia Yu fan group, and asked her to help send out a red envelope, which was created by Chen Ning, and it has not been disbanded. Contact, but Chen Ning has been busy promoting Xia Yu.

Although Xia Yu didn't create any fan support club here, she thought it was unnecessary, but she didn't care about fan spontaneous, Buddhist, and disciplinary organizations.

Chen Ning seemed to be Xia Yu's biggest fan. During the Chinese New Year, Xia Yu didn't forget to give someone a red envelope, not too big or too small, mainly to thank them for their support along the way.

Back to topic.

After returning to the room, I tidied up casually, took a shower, put on body lotion, put on some simple clothes, and went downstairs.

I didn't do much preparation, what preparation do I need?After a while, I will reapply my makeup and everything again, so why spend so much effort?

After seven o'clock, we basically got up.

Most of the tables in the restaurant were full, and only one was empty for the main creative team.

Xia Yu was not pretentious, he greeted everyone, took a breakfast with Meng Dong, and moved to the front.

Gu Mingtao has almost finished eating, today's filming, apart from a few gold hairpins and students, is mainly "Dai Tao" on stage.

Xia Yu has a role to play.

But not much.

In other words, although this epic drama revolves around "Zhao Yumo" and other thirteen beauties, it is more about showing the details of the group portrait of the entire Jinling Massacre than about individuals.

07: 30.

A group of actors with shooting tasks first changed their costumes and makeup in advance in the hotel dressing room.

Xia Yu didn't deliberately maintain it these days. The retro hand push wavy hair style that she took care of a little bit has long since fallen apart, and she tidied it up again, put on makeup, and changed into costumes, about [-]:[-].

To the set, 53:[-].

And around the time the protagonists just woke up, Zhuang and his team had already set off. As soon as the actors arrived, the set was ready.

Zhuanghe asked Tao Zhang to check again.
Are there any minor details that may be missed, which may cause the camera to go wrong? Immediately said: "The record is finalized!"

""Jinling Festival" No.20 scene two, first scene, shooting begins!"

Gu Mingtao and Tong Chengping have been waiting for a month, and Tong Chengping showed his face at least once, but Gu Mingtao has been holding back, observing for a whole month, and he can't wait to play with everyone.

Unfortunately, the first show today is his one-man show.

After the scene notes were played, the set became silent immediately, and everyone turned their attention to Dai Tao played by Gu Mingtao.

Xia Yu was watching next to Zhuang He. Naturally, there was no need for the script. She knew every scene of "Jinling Festival" by heart. Even during this time, she had already started to learn how to storyboard, so this scene was also in her mind. I simulated it several times——

How to shoot, from which angle to cut in, besides her own interpretation, she has already begun to think about the script from the perspective of a "director".

Maybe she didn't even notice this, but Zhuang He did.

Seeing her fascinated, frowning from time to time, Zhuang He glanced over, the corners of his eyes couldn't help but bend.

This scene is about:

On the day when the Jinling Massacre began, Dai Tao, an officer played by Gu Mingtao, failed in the battle. During the pursuit of the Japanese invaders, he blew up a group of Japanese invaders and sneaked into the cathedral.

And like a huge wild cat, he walked the detective in the territory of the church. In the process, he saw everyone in the church, including fourteen women from the Qinhuai River in the underground warehouse, and lay down outside the basement vent. half an hour.

In this scene, the last shot is:

Zhao Yumo had an intuition that there was something wrong, and after glancing at the air vent, Dai Tao quickly fled away, the scene where their eyes almost collided!
This scene seems simple, but there are a lot of details in total. In order to get it right, the final edit of this scene may only be a 1-minute video, and it took two full days to shoot.

Until Xia Yu turned his head and stared at the ventilation hole, Gu Mingtao was lying on his back outside the underground warehouse, recalling those dark eyes, and the half-open, indistinct and exquisite body, his heartbeat doubled, and he suddenly stopped laughing!

After this shooting, it was another location scene.

It is about how Dai Tao and the 73rd Division led by him defended on Zhongyang Road on the evening of the [-]th. After dark, the superiors decided to retreat to the Jiangbei area. Rubbing together, when he and his adjutant reached the river, "every inch of the beach was crowded with desperate flesh and blood, and every boat was covered with desperate hands." There were very few escaped boats, but escaped The number of people is dozens of times that of the passengers on the boat——Dai Tao decided to stop futile, squeeze back with his adjutant, and fight to the death!
It is said that Zhuang He discussed this scene with several screenwriters many times because of some problems, but finally decided to present this scene in the movie in its entirety. Although he knew that this scene was bloody, in real history, it would definitely It is even more horrible than the incomplete events described in the original book or in the documentary!
The shooting of this scene was quite difficult, and the integration of group performances alone was a big project!

It's the riverside, there's a passenger ship, corpses are strewn across the field, and it's necessary to create a desperate escape without causing injuries. It sounds simple, but it's quite difficult to arrange.

And this scene is not a post-production synthesis, but the real deal - Zhuang He's requirements are extremely strict!
It also needs to be soaked in water and mud, and it must be prevented from being stepped on, and the group acting skills must be able to keep up...

This scene was filmed for a total of 15 minutes, but according to the length of the movie, only 5 minutes were left at the end, but it took nearly five days to shoot, which is equivalent to the last minute of shooting every day!
This is one of the reasons why Zhuanghe's crew has always invested heavily, but they can't arrange actors, and the funds are also tight!
This kind of scene consumes too much money.

But after filming this scene, no one cried out that they were tired, and the entire crew was silent. Many people watched these war scenes, and they were so uncomfortable that they cried.

Those fifteen, sixteen, seventeen or eighteen-year-old children are even more different. They are different from Rena of other crews. Although they are not from Jinling, they are from surrounding cities. They have heard of this battle!
Especially for a few of them, their grandparents and great-grandfathers all escaped from Jinling to other cities from the massacre that year—they heard about it from their elders, but they didn’t have much real understanding. Until that day, they were shocked .

One of the children burst into tears on the spot, "My grandpa and my grandmother escaped from that massacre. Grandpa told me that Jinling was in chaos at that time. They all ran in one direction and the boats stopped at the ferry. There is no need for a ticket, and anyone who can climb up can leave, the room is full of people, even if the people are crushed layer by layer, the children below are crying!"

"My grandpa was in primary school at the time, and he cried and told my grandma [Mom, I can go, don't throw me away], my grandma hugged my grandpa and hid XZ, gritted his teeth, and said to my grandpa: 【Don't worry, mom won't leave you behind!】'"

"My grandfather was four years old at the time. He walked from Jinling to today's Wuhu. He hid under the bed of a farmer's house. He was not very sensible at the time and was so scared that he cried. Fortunately, there was a can of sugar under the bed. Holding this can of candy and coaxing my grandpa, he survived in the end!"

"My grandfather said that all the children who survived at that time wanted to grow up quickly and go to the battlefield. This hatred is engraved in their bones, and they can't forget it to this day!"

After filming this scene, most of the entire crew was just shocked and silent.

The extras didn't leave either, they were just about to clean up and get their paychecks, so they just sat aside.

But when the little girl told this story, even the resolute men in the film crew where the majority of male members could not hold back their tears.

After a long while, Zhuang He asked Tao Zhang to continue to arrange the next shooting task after everyone had almost digested the emotion.

The director team greeted everyone, "Get ready for the next scene."

In the following scene, Dai Tao and his adjutant returned from the riverside. On the way back, there were still a lot of people flocking from the city to the riverside.

'Dai Tao' also saw a soldier take off a citizen's long gown and exchange his military cotton padded jacket with the citizen, but the citizen would rather wear a patched long gown, barefoot and shivering from the cold, than wear Army cotton coat.

'Dai Tao' originally raised the pistol, but thought of the five bullets left in the gun, he hesitated, and didn't realize until later that he had misunderstood.

This scene has several meanings—citizens can't bear it, and citizens don't dare.

But in the end, the soldier who became a citizen of Jinling turned around and returned to the battlefield!
Afterwards, seven or eight scenes were filmed, starting at 06:30 pm and continuing until [-]:[-] in the morning.

Gu Mingtao is worthy of being a professional actor. During several consecutive days of filming, his total number of NGs was less than five times. The small accidents that occurred in the middle were basically the problems of the group performers, but he maintained an excellent state.

After five days and six nights, the filming of the 8-minute scene in which 'Dai Tao' appeared was finally over.

Fast forward to early March.

 (Double more in one, [-]+)

  (Double monthly pass at the end of this month. You can save it and vote for your favorite works. I will forget it this month. Next month, I will ask for a monthly pass again!)

  (For this film, I want to say that what I want to achieve is not Xia Yu, but Zhuang He - Xia Yu will have other films in the future, but in my arrangement, Zhuang He is the only one, Xia Yu is through this The first one has initially entered the world's attention, Zhuang He can help her, probably ends here, and the rest of the road, she needs to work hard on her own!)

  (I really like the Jinling Thirteen Hairpins movie, and I also like the novel, but due to various reasons, many scenes were not filmed, so I want to say, I will continue to write novels to express these scenes~)
