Chapter 82 "Embroidered Spring Knife" Booting

After participating in the College Student Film Festival, Li Hao did not complain when interviewed by reporters.

After all, don't look at the monk's face to see the Buddha's face.

Besides, more or less won a few awards.

Li Hao devoted his time and energy to the crew of "Embroidered Spring Knife".

The preparatory stage of the film is a meticulous and strategic process, just like building a house and making blueprints, all aspects need to be considered and perfected as much as possible beforehand.Before the official start, every prop, every lens, and every person must be considered thoroughly, otherwise it is easy to go wrong during shooting.

Hollywood movies generally have a U-shaped structure, with a particularly long preparatory period and post-production period, and a relatively long shooting time.

Before Li Hao's filming, the preparatory period and post-production period were often short, because everything was in mind, the script was strictly controlled, and the filming was done directly according to the script, so the cycle of movies and TV dramas was very short.

But this time is different. This time it involves the background of the late Ming Dynasty. In terms of costumes and props, Li Hao strives for perfection, instead of directly copying Hong Kong Entertainment.

Coupled with the action design and preliminary preparations, it took more time than Li Hao expected.

As early as half a month ago, the actors began to receive martial arts training from Wu Jing.

Li Hao couldn't accept that the movies he made were rough and bad.

Not only these, including special effects, Li Hao also contacted Tiangong Yicai early.

Li Hao also attaches great importance to the production of special effects.

Many people complain that the special effects of domestic film and television are all 50 cents special effects. In fact, the reason is very simple. One is the problem of money. Domestic film and television works mainly spend money on actors, and the special effects cost is very small. You only spend [-] cents. If you want to make [-] yuan special effects, it is obviously impossible.

The other is the director's problem. The special effects are made according to the director's aesthetics, and the director has to do what he says. The effects produced by the director's unique aesthetic are naturally wonderful.

Li Hao's knowledge of special effects technology is actually limited. He knows about general special effects and 3D modeling, but he has limited understanding of advanced things such as motion capture. But that's it. Currently, domestic directors are relatively advanced in the field of special effects.

Just after May Day, Li Hao rushed to Hengdian with the crew.

In Hengdian, Li Hao held a grand opening ceremony, which attracted many people.

This time, the investment in "Embroidered Spring Knife" set a record since Li Hao made a film, with an investment of up to 6000 million.

Of course, Tong Liya paid the highest salary, and Li Hao gave 1000 million.

As for the sum of other people's remuneration, it is very small, less than 500 million!

However, Tong Liya's role in the role is not important, she just has the name of a heroine.

The reporter came here not to see who the leading actor is, but because this is Li Hao's new movie.

After the opening ceremony, the filming began.

The leading actor, Wu Jing, who plays Shen Lian and is also a martial arts instructor, is only 200 million.

Lei Jiayin plays Lu Jianxing, with a salary of 40 yuan.

Nie Yuan plays Jin Yichuan, with a salary of 40 yuan.

On the day of the start-up, a scene was filmed at night, that is, two soldiers patrolling the city held up lanterns and found Jin Yiwei hiding in the alley, and then turned around and ran away.

The most important thing in this scene is the creation of the environment. When it appeared under the weak and lit fire, it captured the taste of killing gods under the night.

After shooting three times back and forth, Li Hao gave way.

On the second day, I filmed other scenes during the day, and the highlight was at night.

That is to say, Shen Lian, played by Wu Jing, took the female family members of the Chen family as hostages and sent them to the study. At this moment, the Chen family and his son, whom Jin Yiwei wanted to arrest, suddenly resisted.

The vase was thrown at Wu Jing. Wu Jing looked at the Chen father and son and smashed the vase with a punch. This showed that Shen Lian was a master of martial arts.

This fight in this room is just the beginning.

It didn't take too long to finish the shoot.

"OK!" Li Hao shot the scene three times and shouted, "Prepare for the next set of shots."

The next thing to be filmed is Night Capture Xu Xianchun.

Xu Xianchun here, as the commander of Jin Yiwei, was born as a Wu Jinshi, not only has many minions, but also a master himself.

This night scene is the second martial arts scene this time, the fight between Jin Yiwei and Jin Yiwei.

In the movie in his mind, Xu Xianchun was put on hold, and there were only three people in the whole mansion, like a bereaved dog. Li Hao felt that it was unreasonable, so he revised it several times after thinking about it several times to make this scene stand out.

Xu Xianchun found Li Jianyi, who worked with him before, who is also a professional eunuch and has acted as a eunuch many times.

When his subordinates were being killed continuously, Xu Xianchun didn't want to sit still, and when he made a move, he felt a sense of earth-shattering shock as soon as he made a move, and a martial arts drama unfolded.

Wu Jing used a knife, and Li Jianyi also used a knife, and the two swordsmen fought fiercely.

In this martial arts scene, after Xu Xianchun was wounded by Shen Lian, he ran away. Shen Lian sent out a signal flare. His two sworn brothers had already ambushed and blocked Xu Xianchun. In the end, the three brothers teamed up and captured Xu Xianchun alive.

It took five full days to shoot the scene before it was finished.

The two short clips shaped the character image of Shen Lian, who is strong in martial arts, calm and resolute, and is not a reckless man who can only fight alone.

The shooting of this kind of martial arts movie exceeded Li Hao's previous expectations, and it was even more difficult to shoot.

If you make a wrong move, you have to do it all over again.

On the contrary, it is an emotional drama, which focuses on brotherhood. As for the love story with the heroine, it is not deliberately exaggerated, so the filming of this aspect is relatively simple. Tong Liya finished filming in half a month.

Li Hao saw that the shooting progress was only one-third of the original plan, and he seemed very helpless.

But he didn't release the water. He would rather spend more time shooting than make do with it.

Li Hao couldn't help feeling a little thankful that Wu Jinglai was the leading actor of Shen Lian. The action was designed by Wu Jing himself, and it was so difficult to shoot. If someone who had never shot an action movie was cast to act, I'm afraid the shooting would have more problems and the speed would be slower.

"Brother Jing, how are you? Can you still take it?" Li Hao handed over a bottle of water, and Wu Jing was applying the potion with the help of a medical practitioner.

In a fighting scene just now, Wu Jing was injured. This is the second time Wu Jing has been injured since filming started.

"No problem, little meaning!" Wu Jing grinned.

吴景的演艺生涯算是很早了，早在1995年就参演了《功夫小子闯情关》、2001年参演《蜀山传》、2003年参演《醉猴》、2005年《杀破狼》等电影，在1997年拍摄《太极宗师》、1998年《新少林寺》、1998年《拭血问剑》、1999年《小李飞刀》等等电视剧，早已名声在外，被誉为是下一个‘李莲杰’、下一个功夫巨星。
