tearjerker director

Chapter 835 Kill the master at the beginning
In the initial stage of every film shooting, it needs to be adjusted.

Even Li Yi is the same today.

A film with a nonsensical style like "A Chinese Journey to the West" needs to be adjusted even more.

Because it is necessary for the actors to experience the scale and style of performance required by Li Yi in this movie.

Wulitou is just a big concept and a big direction. When it comes to movie performances, lines, etc., it can be said that there is still a big difference.

Therefore, what Li Yi arranged on the first day was the scene at the beginning of the movie.

Here in the Beihai Mythology-themed film and television city, the scenery has already been prepared.

Don't look at the first scene as if it is very simple, but in fact, there are many elements.

The action scenes of Monkey King, the action scenes of Tang Sanzang.

Yes, action scenes.

It doesn't mean that fighting scenes are called action scenes.

Monkey King playing with a stick is also an action scene. Tang Seng takes the moonlight treasure box and naturally dodges Monkey King, which is also an action scene.

However, the difference is that Monkey King needs an action guide to teach the actors to play with a stick, while Tang Seng only needs to rehearse before shooting to take the Moonlight Treasure Box.

"Go first!" Li Yi shouted.

Walking is an essential part of rehearsals because doing the moves ahead of time speeds up the shoot and the actors, cameramen and crew will know what they need to do.

Walking determines where and how actors move, and where they will have dialogue.

Deciding where the actors and camera should go is just the first step in positioning.

Zhou Xing, Liang Jiadong, and Xu Huiping, who played Avalokitesvara, all started the pre-shooting rehearsal at Li Yi's order.

Xu Huiping is better, she doesn't need to move, she just needs to fix her position.

Because she was almost still during the whole process, in the second scene, even though there was a fight between her and Monkey King, there was still no movement.

But Zhou Xing and Liang Jiadong are different.

Zhou Xing has a lot of movements that need to be done during the filming process, while Liang Jiadong needs to walk from one position to another, and Zhou Xing knocks him down, where he lies down, etc., all of which need to be rehearsed in advance .

The opening two scenes can be said to have included all the necessary elements.

Although there are not many shots in the first scene, they are all relatively long shots, and there are a lot of lines.

Especially the role of Tang Seng played by Liang Jiadong, a batch of long-winded ones, which led to extraordinarily many lines, and at the same time, he had to take into account the action language, facial close-ups, etc.

Therefore, these two scenes were not easy to shoot. Of course, the main reason is that this is the first scene when the movie just started.

It is impossible to expect all the crew members to get into the mood immediately, so Li Yi mainly uses this scene to run the crew.

"Every department is in its place!" The rehearsal of the walk is over, and the first scene is about to officially start filming.

"The actors are in place!"

"The lights are in place!"

"Blower in place!"

"The props are in place!"

"The special effects team is in place!"

"Photography in place!"

"..."

"record!"

"The first scene of "A Chinese Journey to the West", the first scene, the first time! Action!" After the scene notes fell, "A Chinese Journey to the West" was officially launched!
The smoke was lingering, and the wind howled.

In this scene, several camera positions are facing the three characters.

Li Yi stood in front of the monitor, looking at more than one camera.

First of all, the first picture is given to Avalokitesvara sitting cross-legged on a rosette.

"Sun Wukong, you bastard, you promised Tathagata Buddha to escort your master Tang Sanzang to the west to learn scriptures, but you actually colluded with the Bull Demon King to eat your master! Do you know that you have committed a heinous crime?"

In the No. [-] shot, the Monkey King played by Zhou Xing, with a handsome stick-playing action, made him reach out and point to Avalokitesvara.

"Stop rambling, you chased me for three days and three nights, I won't kill you because you are a woman! Don't think I'm afraid of you!"

Soon Liang Jiadong in the No. [-] shot also joined the dialogue.

There were no major mistakes in the first pass, but this was only the first pass. In fact, there were many, many problems.

"Crack!"

"Zhou Xing, your current identity is colluding with the Bull Demon King to eat your master's monkey head, not the subdued Monkey King, be more fierce, more fierce!
And the golden cudgel should fall naturally, instead of you throwing it away, you are stunned by the words of your master Tang Sanzang. ． ． ． ． ． "

"Mr. Xu, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, you don't need to have expressions on your face, you don't need to have emotional ups and downs..."

"Mr. Liang, when you walk towards Wukong, you can go slower. Also, keep the smile on your face. You don't need to be so mother-in-law when you're talking, he's just a talker..."

"The wind power of the blower should be well controlled, and the wind power should not change too much all at once. I have to do it step by step, okay? Tang Seng's hair can just be blown..."

"light......"

"photography......"

"Everyone get ready, do it again!" Li Yi clapped his hands and said to everyone.

The actors reset again, and other departments also restarted their preparations in an orderly manner.

Fortunately, these people are not the first time to film with Li Yi, they are all skilled workers.

So the filming started again, but it was very fast.

In fact, in many plays, everyone sounds like there are many NGs, that is, the actors are affected, but in fact, it is really not.

Actors are just what everyone sees, but in fact, a lot of things are consumed during the shooting of a scene to the end of a scene, and it needs to be re-arranged and restored to its original state if it is restarted.

For all types of work in the crew, it is necessary to restore the shooting scene.

"The first scene of "A Chinese Journey to the West", the first scene, the second time! Action!"

The filming started again for the second time, this time it was much better than the first time, but there was something wrong with Liang Jiadong.

Adjust and shoot again.

For the third time, Zhou Xing didn't play well with the stick!

Adjustments continue!

The fourth time, the blower was not controlled properly, and the ribbon on Tang Sanzang's hat was blown directly onto his face.

The fifth time, the sixth time. ． ． ． ． ．

The first scene was shot over and over again, over and over again.

There are always problems like this.

This is the state of the crew just starting up.

Because the actors need time to enter the state, and the behind-the-scenes personnel of the crew also need to adjust.

Repeatedly shooting a scene will definitely make people emotionally fluctuate, and at this time, the director's attitude is very critical.

If the director is grumpy, the whole crew will be grumpy too.

But if the director is calm, the same emotion can infect others.

Li Yi originally wanted to use these two scenes to get in touch, so he was not impatient at all.

Therefore, although I did not shoot any other scenes on the first day, I just shot the first two scenes over and over again, but as the number of shots increased, and as the number of shots was repeated and adjusted over and over again, the state of the actors began to change visibly. better.

In the subsequent shooting, the actors made almost no mistakes.

And the rest of the crew gradually began to understand each other.
