This director needs to apologize

Chapter 230 Sense of Layer

Wang Wei gave an order, and two rows of actors formed their formations.

Li Zhun made the decision, Wang Chuanjun finished his lines again, and Lin Geng immediately hit him.

"Crack!"

Wu Yuanrong "taught" Lin Geng up close, "You must never close your eyes for a headbutt, otherwise you will lose all your momentum. Don't hesitate, your movements must be clean and crisp."

After a pause, Wu Yuanrong glanced at Wang Chuanjun and said, "I don't recommend rehearsing in advance. After all, Junzi is not a real martial artist. After preparation, the reaction will be unreal.

However, the person who initiated the headbutt was Gengzi. If you really rehearse it, you can let go of the burden in your heart. You two can discuss what to do specifically. "

Wu Yuanrong walked away, and Wang Chuanjun said to Lin Geng, "Little brother, there will be more difficult martial arts scenes in the future. You don't want the precious close-ups to be changed to medium shots by the director, and the few scenes to be replaced by stuntmen, right?

There will always be injuries during filming. I, the one who gets beaten, don’t care, but you, the one who hits others, will be taken advantage of.

If you are not ruthless, you cannot stand firm, come on! "

Lin Geng bit his lip and nodded heavily, "Senior, I'm offended!"

Both actors have the consciousness of "sacrifice their lives for righteousness", but working as an amateur is just an amateur, and martial arts really doesn't require determination.

In the next shooting, Lin Geng raised his head with eyes wide open. He really exerted all his strength. Wang Chuanjun's reaction was also very real. He staggered and sat on the ground, obviously being knocked out of the "dizziness" state.

It's a pity that Lin Geng's determination was too much. His expression before the headbutt was too ferocious. It was not a "calm and ruthless" that fit the character's character, but rather a "desperate look to defeat the superior".

Obviously I made a mistake, try again!

Lin Geng forgot one thing. A real fight is a staged fight, and the fight must also be staged.

The makeup artist covered up the redness and swelling on their foreheads and continued filming.

With the experience of the previous headbutt, Lin Geng's performance was finally on the right track for the fourth time, but there was a slight deviation in accuracy, and the height was too low and he hit Wang Chuanjun's nose.

This was a mistake, because although the two of them had their foreheads touching each other, Wang Chuanjun was holding his nose and bleeding from his nose after falling to the ground.

Lin Geng really hit his nose, and Wang Chuanjun's subsequent reaction became a "true performance". The nosebleed was also a real nosebleed, and the blood bag was saved.

Chen Yiming didn't say anything, and Wang Wei naturally wouldn't shout. Lin Geng suppressed his inner worries and continued the performance. He jumped up and overturned Wang Chuanjun, then rode on the latter and began to punch Wang Chuanjun.

The five martial arts men around Wang Chuanjun kept their mission in mind and immediately surrounded him, pulling him and kicking him.

"Crack!"

Wang Wei finally shouted to stop, and the martial artists stopped immediately. Lin Geng leaned down and apologized hurriedly, "Senior, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. How do you feel?"

The medical team who had been on standby for a long time rushed over. Two young nurses pulled Lin Geng away, and the doctor helped Wang Chuanjun to examine him.

Fortunately, it was just a nosebleed, nothing serious.

By chance, the performance of this scene was pretty good, but the "ruthless" Chen Yiming still sent the latest instructions through the walkie-talkie, "Guarantee one thing."

On the fifth shooting, the two cooperated perfectly and finally achieved the desired effect.

Now that the difficulty is over, the crew strikes while the iron is hot and continues filming the next group battle scene.

The camera turned to Lin Feng. He led three martial arts men to join the battle group. One martial arts man on the left and right cut in diagonally and directly used his body to collide with his colleagues who were standing on both sides of Lin Geng, who were punching and stretching their legs.

Lin Feng lowered his waist and grabbed Lin Geng's calves and pulled hard. Lin Geng put his hands on the ground and flew over Lin Feng's head like a big bird. He performed a hollow somersault on his head and feet and stood firmly behind Lin Feng.

Of course, Lin Geng didn't have such skill. He had a wire rope tied around his waist. The person who really gave him strength was not Lin Feng, but Wia who quickly recovered it.

Since he had just graduated from Magic Theater a few months ago, Lin Geng had never filmed a costume drama, so naturally he had never done anything with Wi-Fi.

The hollow somersault just now seemed simple, but there was no editing in the whole process. Lin Geng practiced for more than a month before he could master this beautiful and neat movement.

Mulan's generals and Chen Yiming asked Wu Yuanrong to specially design an action style that matched the character.

Like the youngest Lin Geng, the sword on his waist has a narrow blade and a long edge that looks like a stabbing sword, and he is following the route of a nimble and agile assassin.

Nie Yuan's weapon is a powerful and heavy iron rod with a clipped blade, which represents the style of a fierce general who attacks head-on.Lin Feng is the character of Legolas in "The Lord of the Rings". He is an archer and has the unique skill of arrows.

Chen Yiming actually split up half of Mulan's martial arts scenes and gave them to several subordinates. Mulan herself would only go into battle to fight in the first half, and in the second half she would sit in the middle and take command.

There is no other way. It is difficult for Chen Yiming to convince himself to adapt "The Ci of Mulan" into a martial arts movie. The commander-in-chief of the Tang Army in real history would not risk his life and rush to the front line of the battle. After all, Chen Yiming is not filming "The Legend of the Sui and Tang Dynasties". 》.

After one play, they "keep one line" as usual, the martial artists reset and continued to take close-ups.

The group battles in the movie look particularly enjoyable, but they are particularly troublesome to shoot. Individual shots are short and fragmentary, and shooting is slow.

Because there are so many people in the viewfinder, the connection between the front and rear shots must be very precise, otherwise it is easy to get blurred during editing.

Therefore, the same moment often needs to be shot several times with different characters as the focus and changing camera positions.

Fortunately, Wu Yuanrong's martial arts team is very accustomed to this kind of shooting. The martial arts practitioners have rich experience. As "leftover materials" to fill in the shots, they can easily do it and show consistent actions in different camera positions.

What is easy to make mistakes is actually Lin Geng, Lin Feng and Wang Chuanjun who are the focus.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was setting and the natural light no longer met the shooting requirements. Chen Yiming announced that the work was over.

I shot two scenes and more than 30 shots in a whole day, and the progress was quite satisfactory.

The group returned to the station. The actors who appeared during the day were recovering from massages. Each team behind the scenes was busy. Chen Yiming reviewed the samples with several supervisors, selected rough cuts and sent them back to the post-production workshop of Phantom Factory.

After the day's material was processed, Chen Yiming had to lead three assistant directors to run through each group and personally confirm all the equipment, props and supplies that would be used for the next day's shooting.

Chen Yiming has learned a profound lesson in this regard. In his previous life, he stayed at the Hengcheng Film and Television Base with convenient logistics every day. If he relaxed even a little bit, he would encounter various problems, which would cause the filming progress to be delayed.

Years of experience told him that a director can only trust his own eyes. If he doesn't want to be affected, he has to accept it.

After the inspection, all supervisors held a meeting at 9 p.m. to summarize the day's shooting and discuss plans for the next day.

After the two-hour meeting was over, Chen Yiming had to go through the plan several more times before he could rest until midnight.

Get up at 6 o'clock the next day and enter the venue at 7 o'clock, and the cycle starts over and over again.

Unless there is bad weather, Chen Yiming's schedule will remain the same. When the follow-up schedule is tight, the rest time will be further compressed.

The filming continued the next day. This was a continuous scene that lasted for half a minute, with 5 government troops versus 6 border troops.

On the side of the government army, Lin Feng and Lin Geng were the main attackers, and three Wu Xing were the main defenders. The five people formed a battle formation and moved as a whole to perform their duties.

The border troops were caught off guard. Wang Chuanjun, who wiped off his nosebleeds and regrouped, suffered another serious blow. He was dragged into the formation and was besieged by Erlin.

It's still a stop-and-shoot rhythm, with too many detailed shots to make it really fast.

The filming lasted until 3 p.m. when the entire scene was finally completed.

This is the result of the martial arts brothers taking the lead. For example, Wu Jun's filming of Mulan's father's scene took a lot of time because of the use of herdsmen.

While there was still time, Chen Yiming added some close-ups of Yu Nan and Nie Yuan.

Both of them are drama-level actors with superb acting skills. Chen Yiming intended to retain the changes in the subsequent plot, so he did not make any regulations for their performances.

Nie Yuan is basically the character of a cold-faced cool guy, and he has indeed demonstrated his own understanding and layering of the character.

The first level is disdain, because he trusts his brothers' abilities and doesn't think there will be any changes against a group of new recruits.

On the second level of anger, Lin Geng actually took action first when facing the veteran. This was something he could not tolerate.

The third level is surprise, because the battle formation of the government army is quite famous. As a veteran border army officer, he has to pay more attention to this group of government troops.

In the fourth level, Nie Yuan performed in two ways, one of which was positive, because the performance of the government army's battle formation slightly changed the stereotype of Mulan.

The second is a further negative disdain, because he regards Erlin and others as Mulan's family generals, thus further identifying Mulan's second-generation status.
