Chapter 754: Only by understanding on your own can you remember deeply

The next day, with each person holding a gantry, when they were resting, the duck hung on the rack looked like a roast duck being served on a plate.

"Director Li, Director Guo, do you two want to give it a try?"

Wu Jing waved his hands and shouted loudly to the two of them.

"I'll forget it."

Li Mu was the first to refuse, followed by Guo Fan who also shook his head frantically.

Just then, Jiang Wen arrived at the base with a truckload of food and drinks.

"Why are you here?" Li Mu then picked up a bottle of mineral water and asked.

"It's okay, I came here to reminisce. Anyway, I filmed here before."

Jiang Wen touched the surface of the planetary engine and couldn't help but sigh, "This batch of props is more realistic and seems more complicated than the ones shot back then."

“This is the Soviet aesthetic style, and it is also the only industrial design that the team has been thinking about for a long time that we can find that has an emotional connection with the Chinese people.

So I didn’t go for the minimalist style that Hollywood has, because it didn’t feel right.”

"No wonder you can make science fiction films, Lao Li. I definitely wouldn't consider this kind of detail."

Jiang Wen looked around and was secretly amazed. Compared with the space base back then, it has changed a lot now.

"By the way, I'm the chairman of the Golden Goblet Award Jury of the Magic City International Film Festival this year. Do you have time to come over?"

"Damn, you came here to invite me to this."

"By the way, by the way!" Jiang Wen smiled.

"Look, can I go?" Li Mu pointed at the current crew and gestured.

"Okay, okay, then even if I invited you, I have completed my mission.

Wu Jing shouldn't have to shoot until June, right?"

Jiang Wen yawned, obviously he came here to complete the task assigned by the film festival organizing committee.

"It's hard to say, but I can still find time to attend a film festival."

"Okay, I'll talk to him."

Jiang Wen didn't hesitate and walked straight over.

Jiang Wen's arrival did not affect today's filming. This was the first scene for the main actors so far.

"The lighting technician, photographer, and sound engineer are in place!"

"Attention all departments!"

"The Wandering Earth" has eight scenes shot in one take, Action!"

With a crisp click, the clapperboard was closed and a new round of filming for "The Wandering Earth" began.

The plot of this scene is the memories of Liu Peiqiang, played by Wu Jing, and Liu Qi in his childhood.

Besides being warm and cozy, it also slowly outlines the background of "The Wandering Earth".

This is the introduction to the movie, paving the way for the following story.

In this scene, Wu Jing's performance was flawless and she performed very stably.

Because the role of Liu Peiqiang is positioned as a soldier astronaut, and Wu Jing, who has starred in "Wolf Warrior", is quite experienced in playing a soldier, so the filming was without difficulty and pressure.

"Brother Jing, OK!"

Outside the court, Li Mu gave a thumbs up and then turned to face Wu Mengda.

“Uncle Da, the next scene is yours and Brother Jing’s. If everything is ok, clean up the place and we’ll officially start.

"I'm fine, director. We can start shooting anytime."

Wu Mengda looks very haggard today. He actually plays a grandfather in this movie, a tragic character. The makeup artist did the makeup according to Li Mu's request.

Ten minutes later, the venue was cleared.

The makeup artist touched up Wu Jing's makeup a little.

Immediately afterwards, Uncle Da entered the designated shooting area and took his position. The green lights of the three cameras lit up at the same time and began to work.

"Ready, Action!"

"After I leave, you will be Liu Qi's sole guardian."

Wu Jing's lines were delivered quite clearly.

This scene was shot with only two cameras, in reverse.

One camera was used to capture the backs of Wu Jing and Wu Mengda. It was a fixed camera position.

Another camera position shoots the front and is controlled by the photographer's activities.

"Switch to the front view."

Li Mu's instructions were transmitted to the photographer's headset.

According to the storyboard script, after Wu Jing finishes her first line, the front shot should be switched in time.

"You don't need to draw lots. You can directly obtain the qualification to live in the underground city. This is also the only way for you and Liu Qi to survive."

Wu Jing took out an iron plate from her arms with great sadness and handed it to Han Ziang, played by Wu Mengda.

According to the script, starting tomorrow, Liu Peiqiang, played by Wu Jing, will fly into space and be separated from his family.

Then, Wu Mengda carefully looked at the iron plate in his hand, and his eyes gradually became solemn.

The filming of this scene did not take long. The main performance role was played by Wu Jing, and Wu Mengda had no lines at all.

But even so, Wu Mengda's every move still makes people unable to take their eyes off, especially his expression, from reluctance to determination, which is perfectly captured by the camera!
"Crack!"

At this point, both actors did not make any mistakes, and Li Mu shouted "Cut" happily.

At the same time, the staff on the scene applauded one after another. This scene was a good start for the crew to start filming in the true sense. At the same time, Xiao Baozi, who could only see Li Mu in the video for several days, couldn't help but feel a little confused.

"Mom, where's dad?"

"Dad is working, otherwise where would the meat you eat come from?" Liu Yifei explained patiently with a smile.

"Oh!"

The little bun nodded as if he understood, sat on the ground, touched Ala who was lying on the ground like him, and said:

"If the nest is not tied or not tied, then dad doesn't have to work?"

The little bun looked expectant at this time.

"Uh, no, mom, grandpa, grandma, we all have to eat."

Liu Yifei propped up her little head, and was also curious about how the little bun would answer.

"You seven from that nest!"

"Where did you get all that meat?"

"Wowo."

The little bun couldn't answer for a moment, and seemed to be a little anxious to speak, but he didn't know what to say.

In the evening, in the video, Liu Yifei told Li Mu what the little bun said in the afternoon, and Li Mu was also amused.

"dad."

"Again, I'm so bored." The little bun said aggrievedly.

"Hahaha, you need to eat meat. Little Baozi needs to grow up, so how can you not eat meat? It's okay, mom will bring you here in a few days."

"Oh!"

I don’t know if the little bun knew that he could eat meat again, but a smile immediately returned to his face.

The next day, the two young actors’ parts came.

This scene was not simple and took a full eight minutes to shoot.

This means that Qu Chuxiao and Zhao Jinmai have to face many long shots.

This is quite difficult for two people who don't have much experience in this type of movie.

Because long shots are particularly challenging for the actors' skills, they require the actors to not be distracted and to devote themselves fully to the play. Otherwise, if there is any flaw, this long shot will be discarded.

You should know that many directors in this circle dare not give long shots to new actors. They choose to shoot many short shots and then splice them together in post-production.

However, long shots and short shots are different in terms of the effect of their expression.

Li Mu did not intend to use this method. After all, if you ask for the best, you will only get something average. If you ask for too little, you will get even less.

However, this also caused the two of them to be very nervous.

Guo Fan was also trying his best to tell the two how to shoot later, while Wu Jing and Wu Mengda told them some experience in dealing with long shots.

Li Mu naturally did not ask the two to pass in one go, but his only request was that each one should be better than the previous one.

Because only in this way can there be progress, and the requirements must be met.

"Transfer site, site staff check the machine site."

Li Mu shouted into the intercom, and then the crew members began to move to the next shooting location.

Clean the venue, place props, set up the camera and check for any malfunctions.

Then the lighting engineer adjusts the light.

The scene is in the dungeon, and Li Mu requested to use dark cold light for this scene.

Then, the sound engineer entered the shooting center holding a long microphone boom.

His job is to follow the actors and ensure the sound is not off-tune, otherwise post-dubbing will be required, which is troublesome.

"OK, actors enter the shooting area."

"It seems that the two of them are a bit nervous. There is a high probability that something will go wrong at the beginning this time."

Guo Fan also came over at this time.

"It's okay. Making a few more mistakes in the beginning may not be a bad thing." Then Li Mu thought about it and called the photographer, "You can just move to the position later. You don't need to turn on the camera. Just move to the position a few times first."

"I understand, Director Li."

The photographer also knew what Li Mu meant. He glanced at the two new actors in the shooting area and couldn't help but sigh at their good luck.

You know, it's very rare to find such a patient director.

"Attention staff, the actors are in place, Action!"

The script supervisor hit the clapboard and the crew instantly entered work mode.

"Brother, are the things ready?"

Pushing open the door, Liu Qi, played by Qu Chuxiao, pulled his sister into the dim room.

The atmosphere in the room was weird. Qu Chuxiao subconsciously kept calm, but the expression on his face betrayed him. He was still a little worried that Brother Yi would not keep his word.

Although this scene was okay, it failed to meet Li Mu's requirements. As for the following scenes, it was even worse. There were mistakes in many places, but Li Mu did not call for pause until this part was completed.

Because the director didn't call for pause, everyone had to continue filming and couldn't stop.

Both Qu Chuxiao and Zhao Jinmai were extremely nervous at this moment, because when they thought back, they knew that they had encountered many problems just now.

But Li Mu did not stop this action, which made them even more uneasy.

"Chu Xiao, Jin Mai, come here." Li Mu waved and took out the script for their part and marked a few places.

"See the place I drew for you? Think about it for yourself first. If there is any problem, then tell me."

Li Mu passed the question to him. It is easy to forget the questions given by others. You have to figure it out by yourself so that you can remember it deeply.
