I really can't act

"How to shoot what?" Fang Yi asked.

"Shooting your speeding scene... Didn't you say you need to use special effects? How do you solve it? I heard that you think it can be done in the studio. I don't know how you want to do it."

Fang Yi suddenly realized.

This speeding scene is about the scene where he drives an AMG over the Burj Khalifa. It is also through this scene that he shows the audience that the gentle "Professor Guan" is actually a hard stubble. Continental's image of "thugs in suits" is consistent, that is, although this type of car looks like a slightly sporty car, it can be worn outside the underwear at any time with a step on the accelerator, providing surging power, which is no worse than ordinary low-end sports cars.

This is contrary to the "serious" image of Mercedes-Benz's competitor Audi, which also represents "old-fashioned".Mercedes-Benz wants to brainwash young people through various marketing, making them think that Audi is not cool enough, and only old men like to use it.

How to shoot it?

Fang Yi described to his elder brother Cheng: "China Film has a super large studio in Huairou, which is spacious enough and high enough... We plan to use a cantilever to hang the car from a slightly higher high platform to another low platform. The whole process needs to be completed. It was done indoors, and a full green screen was used, and the Burj Khalifa was added to the picture in the later stage, and it was zoomed out to show a state of leap."

"Then your car needs to accelerate, right? If you want to drive on a rampage on the floors, you must get enough acceleration to break through the glass and fly to another building; How to speed up the shooting? In fact, the family class can do this kind of stunt, and we also have flying car masters, 100% restoration..."

Fang Yi was puzzled: "Why do you want to shoot the real thing?"

"Then what are you going to do?"

"It's still the same studio, let the car drive violently inside the green curtain wall, add various desks and flying paper documents in the later stage, and the car crashes all the way... Or a combination of real shooting and special effects is also fine, in short There is no need for pure real shooting, there is no need for this. Now the technology has developed to the point where the fake ones are real. We don’t need to risk our lives or go to Dubai to shoot the effect we want, and the cost is lower .”

The eldest brother Cheng was worried about his brothers' future jobs: "Is it really possible to shoot it? People go in and shoot it, no matter what, it will be more realistic than special effects."

Fang Yi didn't deny elder brother Cheng's words, because what he said made sense.

But there is only one life, and there are many exciting scenes to be shot in the future, and nine lives are not enough.

The audience's requirements for visual effects masterpieces are constantly increasing. Now that you have tried your best and finally can shoot, then will the audience want to watch the hand-held helicopter?Or destroying half of the planet with a snap of the fingers... This is not something that can be easily done with real shots.

He was silent for a while, and chose to go to the art gallery with his elder brother Cheng, and asked his elder brother Cheng to introduce various exhibits to him.

Its art gallery includes commemorative objects since Da Gecheng's career, and also introduces his own filming experience.For example, his first hit movie was "Drunken Master". At that time, martial arts movies in the industry were mainly based on rigid routines, but his eldest brother Cheng was uncharacteristically involved in comedy martial arts.

The audience liked it very much, pushing the box office of this film to No.2 in the Hong Kong market that year.

Since Bruce Lee passed away, Hong Kong has been supporting new kung fu superstars, but these newcomers failed to copy Bruce Lee.

In view of the great significance of "Drunken Master" in the history of Kung Fu films, since the new century, both the Academy Awards and the Golden Rooster Awards have listed this film as one of the "[-] Greatest Chinese Films".

——Brother Cheng and Fang Yi walked through various exhibits together, including his subsequent good films "Laughing Fist Strange Tricks", "Junior and Brother Going Out"... and also the two bad movies he developed in Hollywood for the first time. Two films, "Cannonball Run" and "The Killer", because these two films failed to reflect his personal style and obviously imitated Bruce Lee, the box office was not satisfactory in the United States and Hong Kong.

After that, Big Brother Cheng learned from the pain and decided to put aside the burden of imitation completely. A series of kung fu comedies were released: "Project A", "Fast Food Truck", "Fu Xing Zhao Zhao", "Police Story", and "Rush Hour" which once again went to Hollywood The series... He is no longer Bruce Lee's shadow, but himself.

Brother Cheng knew Fang Yi's meaning halfway through the introduction: He used to be an innovator, but now he has become conservative. He has already suffered this kind of loss in his life, so don't suffer any more.

At the end, the eldest brother Cheng seemed very embarrassed: "I understand what you want to tell me, but it's just that I have reached my current position. I have many brothers who have been with me since they were younger than you. They don't know anything else. I want to For the sake of their jobs. So I don’t want to change it if I can, and I have no problem with you insisting on your filming method, but I will still follow the old method.”

Fang Yi didn't intend to turn his elder brother into a sex changer with a few words, and he was not disappointed when he heard this, but said: "It's okay, Brother Long, you have your own considerations, I mainly hope that you will maintain a... Don’t be distracted while doing stunts, then the stunts will also be deformed, and there is a risk of injury.”

"I'm very professional, don't underestimate me, and I'm guaranteed, and I'll definitely handle my mentality."

------

On the second day of filming, the eldest brother Cheng showed his professionalism and security, and how he managed his mentality.

After shooting a scene of roller skating clothes turning at high speed, it was getting late, and the eldest brother Cheng announced that work was over.

Immediately after Fang Yi's shocked eyes, the foreign priest with a white beard ran to the center of the set and began to sprinkle water on various equipment, muttering words, and everyone who was sprinkled with holy water showed expressions of peace of mind.It also included the eldest brother himself, who struggled to take off his roller skating clothes with the help of his assistant, and then sprinkled the equipment with holy water twice.

This is not over yet, the monks are not just for nothing, they tried to recite scriptures for this road, and sent prayer beads to each of the main creators, which is said to be something that has been consecrated.

Guo Fan took the beads and put them on his wrist: "Good stuff! Let me tell you, Director Fang, if nothing happens later, then it's God or my Buddha who has played a role... You know, those who have blessed you, It worked. If something went wrong, it would definitely not be the fault of the gods. It would be that someone in the props group had a problem, and he was not religious enough... This is a perfect logical closed loop, and it makes sense no matter what. "

There are a lot of personalities in the crew, especially this kind of big crew that combines the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three regions. They have different cultural backgrounds, and they have all kinds of beliefs.

Fang Yi felt that the elder brother's homemade method would at least have a placebo effect, and he seemed to have adjusted his mentality, so he smiled and said, "As long as it works, at least it won't scare people to death like yesterday."

Guo Fan showed off his own bracelet: "That's it! It's so cool to get the bracelet for free. Although I don't believe it, it doesn't affect my free whoring... By the way, it's so strange, why didn't you get sent? "

This eminent monk invited by Guanghua Temple seemed to be unable to see Fang Yi when he was a child, but he was the only one who missed him.Then the priest who sprinkled the holy water did the same thing. Seeing Fang Yi step back a few steps, he nodded at him, being careful not to let Fang Yi touch it. Immediately afterwards, the priest and the monk got together and stared at Fang Yi and whispered.

From time to time, he smiled at Fang Yi, but when he really looked directly at him, the group of people quickly lowered their eyes and turned their faces sideways.

"What are they talking about?"

Guo Fan asked.

"Who knows." Fang Yi said helplessly.

Guo Fan didn't think much about it, and then said: "But brother Cheng can't always be like this...we can still accept what's going on now, it's all a formal religion that has been reformed, and in case later, he goes abroad and invites some miraculous It's weird, witch doctors and psychics torture us...everyone will not be able to bear it one day, if you want to solve his anxiety fundamentally, you still have to make him believe in science and make him feel at ease."

Fang Yi said: "What can I do? To untie the bell, you have to tie it."
