China Entertainment’s rescue plan is hard to come by

Chapter 644: Three-Camera Joint Shooting and Hundred Flowers Prelude [Two-in-One]

The rivalry between Liu Yifei and Zhang Songwen was considered a small difficulty in the entire early shooting plan of the crew, although this so-called difficulty was more on Sun Yi's side.

However, everything went smoothly and they both passed it in one try. The results were very good and Sun Yi couldn't find any fault with it at all.

In fact, when it comes down to it, he didn't choose it specifically.

No matter what kind of shot it is, you can find fault with it if you want, because movie images are inherently subjective and there is no unified standard.

For example, I think that your shot is not well handled and should be a wide-angle shot instead of a close-up. And I have reasons that you cannot refute, because I just like wide-angle shots. What's wrong with that?

Right, so there is no way to reason about this matter and it cannot be sorted out.

Since there is no problem with the overall camera angle of this scene, it was all shot according to his requirements, the combination of close and distant scenes is reasonable, the actors performed well, and the lighting and sound are all normal, that's enough.

There's no need to ask two people to protect one.

If they shoot again, Liu Yifei will have to suffer again.

The most important thing is that it’s not worth it if you suffer as well.

So, Sun Yi gave it to him directly.

And in the next game, it was finally his turn to take revenge.

In the script, just when Jinghua was isolated and helpless and about to face a tragic fate, the male protagonist Zhemin appeared at a very appropriate time.

Don’t ask why it is so perfect. The reason is that it is required by the plot of the movie. If it is not perfect, it cannot be filmed.

This is the case with all romantic movies. Without some coincidences, how can the story of the male and female protagonists continue?

As long as the script can give a roughly logical reason, it's fine.

"Lao Zhang, it's our turn next. Come, let's go through the show twice first."

Sun Yi patted Zhang Songwen on the shoulder.

That smiling look doesn't look like a good person at all.

Zhang Songwen said with a wry smile, "Dao'er, we don't want to take revenge on personal grounds."

"What are you talking about? How is that possible? We are all trying to achieve a realistic performance. You know I have little acting experience. I haven't practiced drama like you. If I use too much force, you have to bear the consequences."

Sun Yi's face was full of apologies and he seemed quite sincere.

Although Zhang Songwen was still frightened, there was nothing he could do but cooperate and walk twice.

There was no problem. Sun Yi even explained how he would punch and where he was going to hit, giving Zhang Songwen enough time to react.

When it was time for the shooting to officially start, Liu Yifei came over after putting on her makeup.

There were bloodstains at the corners of his eyes and bruises on his face, giving him a sense of broken beauty.

In this scene, she needs to be the background and stop Zhemin in time when he is about to lose his mind.

After the three of them were ready, Sun Yi came to stand outside the door, recalling the scene just now in his mind, and the anger in his chest began to brew.

Following Liu Jun's word "action", Sun Yi gathered all his strength, suddenly raised his leg, and kicked the door.

The door opened and Sun Yi rushed in.

A group of cameras behind him also followed up in time, and a wide-angle lens captured the situation in the room from Sun Yi's perspective.

Liu Yifei was lying on the floor in pain, with bloodstains at the corners of her eyes. The shoulder of her clothes was torn, revealing her snow-white shoulders.

At this time, two camera groups started to move forward from Liu Yifei's position until a big close-up shot was captured on Sun Yi's face.

His eyes changed instantly.

The previous second, he was still a little anxious and confused. He didn't know what had happened in the house and could only guess based on the sounds. But after seeing the scene in the house, his gaze immediately became cold and frosty. His eyes were full of hostility and he looked vicious as if he wanted to kill someone.

In this section, when Sun Yi’s eyes switched, he completely immersed himself in the state of mind he just was in, acting purely in his true colors.

A camera group took over again.

In the room, Zhang Songwen was grabbing Liu Yifei's hair. When he saw a stranger coming, he was stunned at first, but when he saw the ferocious look of the person, he immediately became scared.

He subconsciously loosened his hands, mumbling something with his lips, as if he wanted to explain the situation, perfectly displaying the image of a scum who only knew how to bully the weak and speak harshly.

Sun Yi rushed forward and grabbed Zhang Songwen by the collar.

At this time, it was the turn of the third camera group to appear. Three groups of photographers rushed over quickly with handheld lenses, bent over, and knelt directly in front of Sun Yi, and began to shoot from above along his waist.

In the picture, Sun Yi waved his right fist fiercely at the camera.

The fist was rapidly enlarging, until the next moment, it "hardly" hit Zhang Songwen's face, "knocking him down" with one punch.

From the angle of the camera, it looked very ferocious, but in fact it didn't hurt much at all. Of course, Sun Yi held back on his strength in the second half of the punch.

What he said about personal revenge was all a joke, he was just teasing Lao Zhang.

As a director, how could I possibly take revenge on someone because of issues during filming?

Besides, Sun Yi himself is not that petty. He just shows this expression to Liu Yifei. It is just a matter of interest between the couple and is not his true character at all.

Just like Liu Yifei's charming side, only Sun Yi had seen it, and outsiders dared not even think about it.

Only Sun Yi, who is skilled and bold, dares to use this set of long-shot continuous shooting with three sets of cameras coordinating with each other. Other directors shoot in segments.

Because if any one of the photographers made a mistake, the entire scene would have to be started over again.

Not only is it time-consuming and laborious, it's mostly just a waste of money.

But Sun Yi is not afraid of this. Although this kind of long-shot linked shooting is difficult, it is much better than segmented shooting in terms of the integrity of the overall picture, and the expression of the sense of impact also gives an immersive feeling.

You know, there is a boxing match plot later in this movie.

To be honest, the fighting scenes in the original novel were pretty average.

It can be seen that the original director, who started out as a romance film director, is not good at this aspect at all and wasted a good plot in vain.

Not only did the underground boxing there lack any striking force, but even the sense of danger between life and death was also very general.

Although Sun Yi has no experience in shooting action scenes and has basically not been involved in any action movies since his debut, but not having filmed one does not mean that he has not seen it.

He still has vivid memories of the later famous "John Wick" series.

Combining his own directing experience, Sun Yi has already tried his hand at it in "New World" and "Pacific Rim".

This time, he plans to express the action shots more perfectly in his own way.

This scene can be considered an appetizer, mainly to test the level of tacit understanding between the crew and the photographers.

Now it seems that under Liu Jun's training, Starry Sky's photography department has also grown in strength and perfectly executed Sun Yi's intentions.

"Okay, stop!"

Seeing that the scene was finished, Sun Yi called for a stop first, then leaned over and pulled Zhang Songwen up from the floor.

"Are you okay, Lao Zhang?" "It's okay, it's okay. Oh, Director Sun, it's a waste if you don't become an actor. The look in your eyes just now was really scary. I was shocked. The emotion was so accurate. And your punch looked so real."

Zhang Songwen patted his clothes and said with lingering fear.

"How could it not be true? I watched you murder my girlfriend with my own eyes. This is all true."

"Director, this is me..."

Sun Yi's teasing made Zhang Songwen, an honest man, blush and he didn't know what to say.

"Don't worry, don't worry, I'm just kidding."

Sun Yi laughed and patted Zhang Songwen on the shoulder.

Sun Yi still has great respect for this acting master in the company.

You know, with Zhang Songwen's current status in the circle, he may not be considered a top actor, but it is still stable to be a first-line actor, although his success was due to the resources of Star Sky and the support of Sun Yi.

But a first-tier city is still a first-tier city, and it’s not that worthless.

The fact that he was willing to come and play a thankless scumbag villain at Sun Yi's casual call was enough to show his respect for Sun Yi in his heart.

If other directors found a first-line actor to play such a role, the actor himself would not even need to show up, as his fans would be able to scold him to death.

Zhang Songwen had no regrets and followed the crew without saying a word to make amends for Sun Yi and Liu Yifei. Sun Yi would remember this friendship and was so grateful that how could he take revenge on them?

Zhang Songwen wiped the sweat from his forehead and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He is a very principled man, and he also knows how to repay kindness.

When he was at his most destitute, it was Sun Yi and Xingkong who discovered him and gave him a chance, allowing him to become a famous first-line actor.

Deep down, he has a strong sense of belonging to Starry Sky and values ​​Sun Yi's kindness in recognizing his talent, which is why he made this guest appearance despite his status.

"Oh my director, please don't play this kind of joke on me. My heart can't take it."

"Hahaha, okay, my bad, my bad."

Sun Yi laughed and apologized to Zhang Songwen.

"Not really, not really. To be honest, I'm a bit stubborn. When it comes to acting, I tend to be serious. Well, I'm a local, so I can be considered the host. Please give me a chance and ask you and Yifei to taste the local specialties of Guangdong."

"No, no, I'm asking you to come and help me make a guest appearance, so how can I ask you to treat me? That doesn't make sense. I'll do it, I'll do it, and you just need to find a good place for me."

"No, no, I'm a local. Director, you're here as a guest, so it should be my treat."

"There's something delicious, what are you going to eat?"

Just when Sun Yi and Zhang Songwen were being polite to each other over a meal, Liu Yifei suddenly came over.

She hadn't removed her makeup yet, and her eyes were one big, one small, with dark bruises on them. She was looking at the two of them expectantly.

This expression, combined with the scars on her face, is as funny as it can be.

Even after being beaten like this, he still hasn’t forgotten to eat! ! ? ?
Sun Yi felt helpless and shook his head, saying:

"As long as I hear there's food, you'll be there for me~"

The crew completed a very difficult scene three days before filming began. Everyone was in high spirits. Sun Yi suddenly announced that the entire crew would have a day off on National Day and he would treat everyone to a meal. Everyone was in high spirits.

The subsequent filming went smoothly, and in just half a month, almost half of the film's shooting was completed.

This day, SZ City People’s Hospital.

The elective surgery room, which was not open on weekends, was now surrounded by a crowd of people outside the door.

There are patients wearing hospital gowns, passers-by dressed normally, but more are doctors and nurses in white coats.

In the operating room, a young nurse repeatedly adjusted her nurse's uniform, fearing that there would be even a wrinkle.

"Director, I, can I not wear a mask? I want to show my face."

"Nonsense, even if it's a movie, we have to show the professionalism of our medical staff, and sterile standards must be enforced."

"Cut~"

The young nurse curled her lips and put on the mask helplessly.

After a while, the elevator on the floor made a soft "ding" sound, and then a group of people wearing vests and carrying various machines and equipment came down.

"Here we are, here we are, I heard we are going to make a movie!"

"Yeah, let me tell you, there's a big star."

"Who is it? Who is it?"

"Fairy sister, Liu Yifei."

"And there's that great director, Sun Yi."

"Wow, really? I haven't met Liu Yifei in person yet."

"Of course I am. I envy the anesthesiologists so much. I heard that the people on duty today can cooperate with the camera. Someone offered 1000 yuan to change shifts, but no one did."

"If it were me, I wouldn't change it for even 10,000 yuan."

"Hey, here she comes, it's really Liu Yifei, wow, so beautiful~"

Sun Yi took Liu Yifei out of the elevator, causing a commotion at the scene.

Today we are going to shoot the scene where Liu Yifei undergoes a corneal transplant, which is also the last scene in which she is "blind" in the entire movie. Sun Yi directly contacted the SZ People's Hospital and came to shoot on the weekend when there were no elective surgeries scheduled.

In the operating room, the director of the anesthesiology department held Sun Yi's hand with a smile on his face.

"Hello, Director Sun."

"Director Wang, I'm sorry to bother you today."

"It's not a problem, not at all. When the nurses under me heard that they could make a movie with Director Sun and Miss Liu, they were extremely excited."

"Hahaha."

"By the way, Director Sun, when it's my turn to perform, I can take off my mask, right? Normally, when I'm not performing surgery and when I'm explaining the conditions of patients in the outpatient clinic, I don't wear a mask either."

"Oh, that's no problem, that's fine."

"Haha, ok, ok, I understand."

It took less than half a day, and as Liu Yifei, dressed in a hospital gown, followed the nurse into the operating room, all the scenes of the movie in Shenzhen were shot.

Next, the scenes including Sun Yi's boxing match and Liu Yifei's recovery of eyesight will be shot in the studio in Beijing. The crew packed up and prepared to go home.

Sun Yi and Liu Yifei will separate from everyone and go to Jiangsu to participate in this year's Popular Film Hundred Flowers Awards.

　Thank you for the reward from Bomi Wansui, thank you very much!
