It's reasonable for me, a stuntman, to live a crazy life, right?

Chapter 129 I want to make "No Man's Land" with two styles and two different endings!
After choosing the role, he also asked the makeup artist to shave his head. Chen Fei joined the set on the same day.
"Director Chen, let's do a simple audition first, just shoot the scene where Monk Wei challenges the Japanese special forces. What do you think?"

"no problem."

Chen Fei made an "OK" gesture very confidently.

After finding an old site left over from the Anti-Japanese War, the props team rushed in and set up the scene in a short time.

This scene is not difficult. The specific content is the scene where Monk Wei kills the Japanese special forces as soon as he appears, then grabs the gun and escapes.

There were a lot of people watching around, almost the entire Bright Sword crew came.

Everyone is very curious. As the recognized number one martial artist in the mainland film and television industry, how good is Chen Fei's skills?
The person who plays the role of the Japanese special soldier is also a martial arts instructor and a martial arts instructor. Zhang Qian hired him from the Bayi Film Studio.

"Snapped!"

As the sound of playing the board rang out, in the camera, Chen Fei walked out of the crowd with a pair of "bull's eyes" and looked directly at the Japanese special forces soldier.

The prop master hid in a corner, holding a fan and constantly throwing leaves in the direction of the two people, creating a scene of a master showdown.

"Roar!"

The Japanese special forces roared angrily and took the lead, punching Chen Fei in the face.

Seeing this, Chen Fei stretched out his hand to block, then lowered his body and kicked out with a sweeping kick, directly knocking the Japanese soldier to the ground.

The director didn't call to stop, Chen Fei simply continued the performance.

"Little devil, continue? You're not good at this..."

The Japanese special soldier got up with a painful look on his face and rushed over again. He even imitated Chen Fei and used his sweeping kick.

It's a pity that his kick was like kicking on a steel pillar. Instead of causing any damage, it actually injured himself.

Seeing this, Chen Fei quickly stepped forward and struck him with his elbow, knocking the opponent to the ground.

As the blood bag in his mouth was bitten into pieces, the Japanese special forces "suffocated and returned to the west" on the spot.

"Okay! This skill is really neat! He deserves to be the number one martial artist in the mainland!"

Zhang Qian was the first to speak out and praised him repeatedly.

A group of onlookers climbing on the wall nodded in agreement, applauded, and marveled at Chen Fei's skill!
As the saying goes, once an expert makes a move, he will know if there is one.

Although the fight just now seemed simple, it created a strong suppression.

A simple block, coupled with a sweeping kick, actually killed the Japanese special forces!
The image of "Monk Wei" stood up instantly!
At the same time, Chen Fei's image as "the number one military commander in the Mainland" has also been reflected in the most intuitive way.

The onlookers secretly sighed that the rumor of being the number one martial artist in Mainland China was indeed true. Although Chen Fei looked young, he was indeed really capable!

……

The filming time for the crew always flies by very quickly, and in a blink of an eye, October 19th is here.

And tonight, Chen Fei's last scene on the set of "Bright Sword" will be filmed.

In the Juxian Building, the Japanese officer was holding Na Jiji Waiwai.

And "Li Yunlong" played by Li Youbin is feasting with "Monk Wei" played by Chen Fei, and by the way, they are still quarreling with each other:

"You should eat when you have to eat. What nonsense are you talking about? I can't understand the chirping of birds."

"Can you save some for me? Huh? See how embarrassing it is for you to eat like this? This is a banquet and everyone is civilized. Can you be more polite?"

"What you eat is not much better than mine!"

"..."

Facing a table of delicious dishes, the two of them ate with their mouths full of oil, which was so satisfying.

Having already filmed an anti-war drama, Chen Fei can be regarded as "doing as the Romans do".

His face was smeared dirty, his chopsticks were thrown aside, he took a chicken drumstick in each hand, and his mouth was full.

After struggling for a while, according to the shooting progress, the movement of the two people finally attracted the attention of the Japanese officer.

After the two parties exchanged some curses, Chen Fei stabbed out the knife and directly killed the Japanese officer!
Li Youbin stood up, stretched out his hand and overturned the table, and the delicious food was scattered all over the floor.

On the other side, Chu Yunfei and his assistant also stood up and began to curse at the Japanese and traitors in the room.

"Crackling..."

In an instant, gunfire continued in the restaurant, and the Japanese soldiers fell one after another, and they all went to see the Lord of Hell.

Seeing the Japanese and traitors in the room fall down, Zhang Qian picked up the loudspeaker and shouted "Ka" directly into the room.

"Okay, this scene is over!"

He Wei shouted immediately, hurriedly ran into the restaurant, and began to check on the actors.

After all, the shots were all about shooting and killing Japanese soldiers. It is inevitable that some collisions will occur, so you still have to pay attention to safety.

After checking around to make sure no one was injured, He Wei made an "OK" gesture behind him.

Seeing this, Zhang Qian stood up, raised his hands and started applauding.

"Let us congratulate Director Chen for officially wrapping up the project!"

clap clap clap...

For a time, there was thunderous applause and it was so lively.

"Thank you, thank you for taking care of me during this time..." Chen Fei bowed to everyone around him, without any airs of a great director.

Since we will be going to XJ to film "No Man's Land" after the 20th, the crew will spend most of these two days catching up on the "Monk Wei" scenes.

With the investment of 800 million yuan, the production cost of "Bright Sword" soared to 1600 million yuan!
Although he became an investor, Chen Fei did not interfere in too many shooting details.

After asking for the role of "Monk Wei", he then made only one request: "The shooting cycle can be extended appropriately, and there is no need to rush the work. Although it is an anti-war drama, we still have to show the precision of making a movie. .”

Zhang Qian was very happy!

This was exactly what he was thinking, but it was a pity that Liu Yanming wanted to recover the cost quickly, so he pressed harder.

However, this situation has stopped in the past two days. As soon as Chen Fei's 800 million investment was received, Liu Yanming directly became the hands-off shopkeeper and flew back to Kyoto.

With Chen Fei helping as a producer, how can he be of any use?
...

Taking advantage of the fact that the last scene was filmed in a restaurant, Zhang Qian waved his hand and held a closing banquet for Chen Fei here.

"It's good to be rich. I didn't expect to be able to have a dinner tonight. I thought I would have to hold a celebration banquet to be able to eat."

Li Youbin happily took a sip of white wine, not to mention how happy he was.

Fade Chen advised him from the side, "You'd better drink less. We have to leave early tomorrow morning, so we don't want to be unable to get up by then."

"Don't worry about that." Li Youbin banged his chest, "When I, Lao Li, used to put it in the army, it was at least three kilograms. How can I get it now?"

Old Li in "Bright Sword" loves to brag, but in reality, Old Li doesn't brag.

Early the next morning, when Chen Fei said goodbye to the old man and went to find Li Youbin, the other party had indeed woken up and was doing Tai Chi there.

"Hey, Teacher Li is very interested."

"Haha, just practice, let's leave now?"

"Well, let's go, it's not a long journey." By the time the two of them rushed to Northwest China non-stop, they had spent two days and two nights on their way to the destination.

"It's really not easy just for one scene!" Li Youbin sighed repeatedly.

Chen Fei had already read the script to him on the way here, so he naturally knew who he was going to play.

That was the only policeman in the show who remained upright but didn't end well.

Chen Fei looked out the window at the wild land and sighed with emotion, "This is the charm of film art. Sometimes, for a scene, one would rather wait for months."

Li Youbin stopped answering and also looked outside the car.

The desolate, lonely, sparsely populated, and endless Gobi Desert reveals endless desolation...

This is an image unique to no man’s land!
After arriving at the set by car, Chen Fei saw a group of people busy outside the "Night in Paris" ballroom from a distance, and he didn't know what they were doing.

There were many cars around, and there were even many reporters carrying cameras.

Chen Fei was not like Lao Mouzi, who was on tight guard against reporters. He acted like an offensive and defensive war.

On the contrary, he welcomes reporters to come for interviews or even visit the shooting scenes, but the premise is that they are not allowed to take out their cameras for secret recording during the official shooting.

These reporters are the best media for publicity. If we don’t take advantage of them, we would be sorry for them coming all the way to the northwest.

The two quickly got out of the car.

Zhang Yigang, the director of Tianshan Film Studio, rushed over in person. As soon as Chen Fei got out of the car, he led a group of people in the factory to greet him with smiles.

"Haha, Director Chen, I've finally waited for you. It's true that a hero comes out of a boy!"

"Thank you so much, Director Zhang, for even making a special trip. It's been really troublesome for you during this period."

Before coming, Ning Hao called Chen Fei several times and specifically told him that since the crew of "No Man's Land" came over, Director Zhang had been acting like a fool, as if the movie was produced by them.

No, they had just met, and the level of enthusiasm made Chen Fei feel a little ashamed.

"No trouble, no trouble." Zhang Yigang waved his hands repeatedly, "It's our honor for Director Chen to come to our northwest location for filming. It's just a small job, we can do it by the way."

"Thank you so much. Don't leave tonight. I brought you good wine from my hometown..."

After exchanging a few words, Chen Fei entered the shooting scene.

The actors have all arrived, and they are undergoing test shooting under the organization of Ning Hao these days, while getting familiar with this uninhabited land.

Wang Baoqiang, Wang Luodan, Huang Bo, and the postgraduate entrance examination duo were all familiar to Chen Fei.

The rest are the criminal team boss Duo Jie, the young policeman, the boss of Night Paris and his wife, and the two men who harvested the falcon.

Among these people, only the "Night Paris Boss and Boss Lady" came from Beijing Film Studio, while the others were all veterans of Tianshan Film Studio.

Duobujie also belongs to Tianshan Film Studio.

Relatively speaking, the composition of the crew of "No Man's Land" is not complicated, and it does not require too many extras. Most scenes are completed by relying on these few people.

After getting to know each other with the actors he met for the first time, Chen Fei began to figure out the looks for himself and Li Youbin.

Li Yunlong was inseparable from "Bright Sword", so the first thing to film was his scenes.

"Huh? Chen Fei? Why did you shave your head too?" Huang Bo touched his newly shaved head and asked in surprise.

"Oh, I had a cameo role two days ago, playing a monk, so I had my hair shaved off."

False hoods are a must-have for the crew. Chen Fei looked through them and quickly found a suitable one.

After all, he plays the role of a lawyer. As the most elegant and handsome man in the entire cast, he naturally has to raise his professional image.

After a simple match and a suit, the image of a lawyer immediately appeared in front of everyone.

"Director Chen is so handsome!" Wang Luodan shouted in the crowd, causing several logistics ladies to cover their mouths and giggle.

Chen Fei nodded seriously, "Actually, I think so too."

"Hahahahaha!"

Everyone couldn't help being happy.

Taking advantage of the fact that there were many reporters present and the cast was complete today, Chen Fei simply held a very simple opening ceremony.

Zhang Yigang specially called people to bring melons and fruits, incense burners, three animals, etc.

Chen Fei led a group of actors to pay a brief tribute, and the filming was officially started.

After saying hello, Ning Hao led the prop team members to prepare for the car accident scene, while Chen Fei and other actors were interviewed by reporters.

In fact, there was nothing to talk about. I just wanted to ask what kind of story the movie tells and how to shoot it.

However, Li Youbin's appearance surprised the reporters.

Many of these people were well-informed, and they immediately took this opportunity to ask: "Director Chen, there is news that you invested in a TV series some time ago? And you also made a guest appearance?"

Of course, Chen Fei couldn't miss such a good publicity opportunity.

He immediately nodded and responded: "Well, yes, the title of the drama is "Bright Sword". It is an Anti-Japanese War drama starring Teacher Li Youbin."

After briefly chatting about "Bright Sword", the reporters turned their attention to Duo Bujie, who was standing next to Chen Fei, and asked him about his experience of the characters in this drama, as well as the relationship between this movie and "Kekexili" difference between.

After pondering for a while, Duo Bujie's first words shocked the reporters present.

"From the script of "No Man's Land", I saw a duel full of "animal nature". Just like its name, it continues until the end. No Man's Land will completely become a real no man's land!

If you have to compare it with "Kekexili", I think the latter is more like a documentary-style film, while the former vents violence, murder, the coldness and evil of the human form, and the greed for money almost all the time!
To be honest, this role really surprised me, and I am very grateful to Director Chen for giving me this opportunity to challenge myself. "

The wind suddenly blew in the desert at some point, and the gray dust came from behind, rendering a lonely and desolate background.

A group of starring actors with makeup on stood in a row. They seemed to be resonated by these words, and the expressions on their faces suddenly became "ferocious".

Wang Baoqiang stared directly at the reporters in front of him. Although he had a silly smile on his face, the bloody hammer in his hand revealed a murderous intent!
As Dobujie said, in the entire no-man's land, there is no good person in the pure sense.

Here, the "evil" of human nature is magnified countless times!
Everyone has no trust in outsiders and just follows the "law of the jungle" of "the weak and the strong"!
After the reporter's question and answer session, Chen Fei called all the actors together and then took out the original version of the script.

The first words he spoke immediately shocked the actors!

"This movie will have two shooting styles and two different endings. What I have in my hand now is the script for the other ending. After today's shooting, you can take a brief look at the original version.

Although there are two styles, it will not affect normal shooting. It is just that when shooting certain scenes, I may shoot in two lens styles. You can just act as usual. "

After that, Chen Fei distributed the script.

Although the general framework of the script that has been approved by the domestic review has not been changed, some details involving "the good and evil of human nature and violence and cruelty" have been deleted.

In order to be able to be released, the ending of the domestic version was changed to a "warming style".

But this is obviously not what Chen Fei wants.

If the film is shot according to this reformed method, it will inevitably cause flaws such as unclear character creation, unvivid images, and unclear main ideas.

But the original version doesn't have these problems.

Therefore, Chen Fei is planning to shoot two different styles of "No Man's Land".

The original version was sent to the Berlin Film Festival, while the revised version stayed in China to apply for a release permit and be released to the public.

This trick is called dual lines in parallel, getting the best of both worlds!
