Chapter 973
Because of Yi Shuihan and Xu Zhengqiang's extremely high quality requirements for the film "Kung Fu", the filming progress of this film was slow.

Sometimes I only shoot two or three sets of shots in a whole day, and it is even more difficult when it comes to group scenes. Even if I can shoot a set of shots in a whole day, it is considered smooth.

Fortunately, after Yi Shuihan's careful guidance, important supporting roles such as Wei Li and Yang Yi have entered the state, and they have each performed the charm and characteristics of the characters.

For example, the group of shots shot in the morning, before the ax gang came to the pig cage village to seek revenge.

An old-fashioned gramophone was playing songs from old Shanghai. There was a muffled sound outside the screen, and the phonograph vibrated.

Then it was the turn of Baoyazhen, played by Weili, to come on stage. She coquettishly walked to the mirror, winked at herself in the mirror, then took out a lipstick and dabbed it on.

Yi Shuihan and Xu Zhengqiang behind the monitoring station also nodded in satisfaction. Generally speaking, Wei Li is a very hardworking and talented actor.

She memorized everything that Yi Shuihan taught and taught her, and then she pondered over it over and over again.

Although her appearance greatly limits her development, many times, many movies need this type of actor.

After going through this period of tempering, Yi Shuihan believes that she can survive well in the show business.

The filming was also continuing. When Willie was half painted, there was a muffled sound outside the screen, and the whole house shook in the camera.

Wei Li slid her lipstick and left a long mark on her cheek. Angrily, she picked up a towel and wiped it off. She rushed out the door, and suddenly stopped in astonishment.

The scene ends here, and Wei Li also fully interprets Bao Yazhen's personality and characteristics.

The shooting in the morning went smoothly. Xu Zhengqiang, Yi Shuihan and others thought that today's shooting would end early.

But the afternoon shoot started to make them angry again.

There is a very interesting proverb in the entertainment industry, which goes, "Don't be afraid of celebrities playing big names, but be afraid of group actors playing foolishly".

A celebrity is considered a big name, and when his temper passes, he can still give you the effect you want.

But group performances are different. Most of these people have not received professional training, and even after participating in a few plays, they feel that they can give new life to the characters of passers-by.

Often this kind of situation will make the crew dumbfounded, and even worse, it will even delay the shooting of the crew.

This is what the crew of "Kung Fu" is currently encountering.

The first shot was okay, it was a distant shot.

Members of the Ax Gang, played by hundreds of extras, walked into the Pigpen Walled City step by step.

But afterwards, the group shooting between the ax gang and the three masters encountered great difficulties.

In the camera, Zhang Lingshan and others who play the role of reclusive masters are naturally performing hard.

After all, with the basic skills in the body and the movement design of the martial arts, as long as the strength is controlled, the problem is not very big.

But Xu Zhengqiang was so angry that Xu Zhengqiang vomited blood when he played the role of the ax gang.

Either he waved an ax weakly not far away, or he added a play to himself, and refused to back down after being kicked.

The scene recorded under the camera lens is chaotic and distorted, like a farce.

It neither showed the demeanor of a master nor the viciousness of the Ax Gang.

Moreover, there are still many scenes in this scene that need the cooperation of Wia, and it takes a long time to prepare for a reshoot.

Xu Zhengqiang was naturally very annoyed, even if he scolded him many times, it was of no avail.

"It's too messy!" Yi Shuihan also frowned tightly.

Of course he can give speeches to these groups one by one, but their professionalism is not high, whether they can listen to it or not is a question of whether they can do it.

Xu Zhengqiang also nodded solemnly and said: "After all, it requires too much cooperation from the group actors. If one part fails, the whole scene will have to be re-shot... It's very difficult."

Xu Zhengqiang has already kicked out those extras who always make mistakes, but there are always some people who don't meet his requirements.

After coming and going, Zhang Lingshan and others also exhausted their physical strength, and their movements began to deform, which even affected the shooting effect.

"Rest on the spot for 10 minutes, let's study again!" Xu Zhengqiang shouted loudly.

"Ah Han, what should we do now, or should we reduce the number of people in the Ax Gang?" Xu Zhengqiang and Yi Shuihan discussed. After Yi Shuihan showed his talent as a director, when encountering difficulties, Xu Zhengqiang would mostly Negotiate with Yi Shuihan.

Yi Shuihan pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, this way there will be no visual sense, and five or six people coming and going will look too fake."

"But the number of people is easy to make mistakes. We took this shot back and forth no less than ten times..." Xu Zhengqiang also frowned.

If it's a TV series, it's enough for these extras to swipe a few moves to pass the test, but the movie is different, every shot will be placed on the huge screen, and every detail can be seen clearly.

And Xu Zhengqiang and Yi Shuihan had even stricter requirements for this film, every shot and even every frame had to be flawless.

That's why this set of lenses has such a big problem.

"I have an idea..." Cheng Shangge, who played the role of the charterer, spoke. He was wearing silk pajamas at this time, with a muddy face, which was very funny.

But Xu Zhengqiang and Yi Shuihan didn't care at all, and listened intently to his opinion.

"If each of them was limited to specific actions, would this picture be more organized?" Cheng Shangge said.

"If this is the case, will it appear too blunt and unnatural?" Xu Zhengqiang said hesitantly.

However, Yi Shuihan felt that this method was feasible. In the previous filming, only the group performers who had physical contact with the three masters specially designed their movements, while the other group performers serving as the background, Xu Zhengqiang let them play naturally.

The original intention of doing this is naturally to let those group performers follow the script and the situation to make the most natural response, but they ignore a reality.

That is, these ensemble performers did not have such a high level of performance. In the absence of prescribed movements, their responses were haphazard and random gestures.

This makes the whole shot messy and confusing.

But if Bang designed the movements of each group performer in the entry head, then they can present the effect they want.

As for whether it is blunt or unnatural, if the martial arts director designs according to the position and direction of each group performer, it happens to be the most suitable for the situation.

"Just try what Teacher Cheng said... If it doesn't work, we'll find a way." Yi Shuihan finally made a decision.

Not beyond Yi Shuihan's expectation, the effect of this shooting was much better than before, and the group performers no longer acted blindly.

This problem was naturally solved, but during the long shooting, various problems will always be encountered.

A group of people are constantly running in and making progress, and the shooting is also proceeding without any haste.
