superstar director

Chapter 498

On a small island in Hainan, in front of a newly built building, countless people moved photographic equipment, and someone directed the group performers to move. It was a busy scene. It was the crew of "Thunderbolt Angel" that was filming.

This is not the first day that "Angel of the Thunderbolt" was filmed on this small island. In order to find a suitable shooting location, Ning Sheng also went to a lot of nearby small islands, and finally chose this place, and then asked people to set up on the island. A castle-like building was quickly built for the current shooting. It cost tens of millions just to rent the island and build the castle.

But for the money, the effect is really good.What we are going to film today is still the process of the three of Ning Tong working together to save people in the castle, because there are many action scenes here, and it can even be said that almost all of them are action scenes, so it is a bit dangerous, and the filming is relatively slow.

But one advantage of this kind of shooting is that you don't have to worry about those paparazzi and onlookers. On the entire island, there are only crew members and no idlers!
The next scene to be filmed is that Ning Tong is tied to a chair, and then she tries to burn the rope that binds her hands with the lighter she snatched through nonsense delays, but because the lighter can't ignite, she has to Strap to a chair and fight with five enemy bodyguards!This scene must not only reflect the cleverness and cunning of Ning Tong's character, but also Ning Tong's powerful kung fu.

Therefore, Ning Sheng threw away all the joke-like action scenes in the original version, and let his own action guide redesign.

He doesn't want the kind of fake fights that look like fake fights, or fly around with a wire rope at first glance. This is an urban action scene, and it's not a martial arts movie. You don't need you to be able to fly, but you need to fight real and nice.

Besides, action scenes don’t mean that the more exaggerated the better, look at Cheng Long, Jie Ge’s action scenes, especially Jie Ge’s martial arts movies, everyone knows that it is fake, but it is real when you look at it, which is more immersive ah.

Therefore, Ning Cheng's requirements for the action scene of "Thunderbolt Angel" are actually similar to Jie Ge's clean and neat movements in "Jing Wu Heroes", no need to fly, no need to hang wires, but use a beautiful appearance to create real effects , so that the audience will not feel fake, but also can watch it happily.

These days, it was not once or twice that Ning Sheng stopped the shooting because of changing the action routine.Therefore, while everyone is getting used to it, they are also becoming more and more proficient in the movements, and the shooting becomes smoother and smoother.

Ning Tong and the others went through the action scene that was about to be filmed. After there were no problems for the time being, Ning Cheng smiled, looked at Ning Tong and asked, "How is it? Do you have any questions about this scene?" Ning Cheng Tong shook his head and said, "No, it's okay, I know what to do." Ning Cheng nodded, then turned and walked back to the camera, smiled at Shi Shi and Ying Bao, and turned his gaze back to the scene Ning Tong and the other five bodyguards of men in black, picked up the director's loudspeaker and said: "Let's get started, everyone takes their positions."

Emma was next to her with a sweet smile on her face, looking at Ning Cheng who had started working. She really liked how he was directing on the set. When she heard him call "Start", she softly said: "Cool... ..."

Emma came to visit the filming site this morning. Originally, she wanted to bring Xinxin with her, but because she was going to sea and the child was too young, she left it with Ning's father and Ning's mother who came here together to take care of it.She came by herself.

She has already come back, and she just participated in the filming of the popular American TV series "American Horror Story" last year. Now, watching the beautiful fights on the set, Emma, ​​who has always been interested in Chinese Kung Fu, suddenly feels eager to try. She participated in the filming of Ning Sheng before. "Yi Tian Tu Long Ji" played the role of Xiao Zhao, a Persian mixed-race beauty, but I really don't understand the internal skills and skills of Chinese martial arts.

What she likes more is the martial arts that Ning Tong is showing now, such as Wing Chun, which she likes more.

She looked at Ning Tong's neat movements and handsome appearance on the field, and she was really envious. Hitting five by one person was as easy as a master juggling five children. Although she knew it was a movie, but Emma still likes Ning Tong's demeanor very much!
Emma is no stranger to the script of "Thunderbolt Angel". When Ning Cheng was writing the script, she was by her side. She was very excited to play one of the three protagonists, but it was a pity that Ning Sheng said this. This play was prepared for Ning Tong and the three of them, and Emma's height was a bit inappropriate to stand with Ning Tong and the three of them.

So, Emma could only roll her eyes, and drove Ning Cheng to sleep in the study that night, and after Ning Cheng promised to make an action scene for her in the future, let her play enough and have enough fun, and then returned to her own life. bed.

Seeing Ning Tong's beautiful and handsome work at this time, Emma really can't wait for the action movie that Ning Cheng promised to make for herself!
"Ca! Very good!" At this moment, Ning Cheng clapped his hands vigorously, picked up the loudspeaker and said to the audience: "Everyone acted very well, but let's try this scene again and try other effects. Ning Tong, you played Don't hold back at this time, your strength can't hurt others, so let go of your movements." He looked at the photographer who controlled the camera and said, "This time, I will shoot some close-up shots."

After a whole morning of filming, Ning Sheng was able to formally receive his daughter-in-law who came to visit the set at noon lunch time. He hugged Emma and kissed her on the forehead.

Ning Tong also came over to give her sister-in-law a hug, and then they sat holding hands and eating together.

After lunch, everyone took a break, and then started shooting in the afternoon!
In the afternoon shooting, we mainly shot the action scenes between Shishi and a powerful enemy.In order to reflect the unique skills of the three heroines, the three will complete their respective missions of fighting monsters and breaking through levels on the small island.

Shishi is one-on-one, and requires the use of weapons, which is relatively dangerous, so you have to be more careful when filming, all kinds of safety preparations, and the actor who fought with Shishi officially came to another cameo Wu Jing.

Today, the first part of Wu Jing's "Wolf Warrior" was released the year before last. He participated in the investment in Xingtong Studio, costing 5000 million, and finally won a global box office of 10 billion. It is a big profit, and it also makes Wu Jing more confident .

Now his "Wolf Warrior 2" script has basically been sorted out, and he will leave for Africa in August to officially start filming.This time, the total investment is 2 million, and Xingtong Studio accounted for half of it. Although it is considered a large investment, but because of Wu Jing's low-key, and the new works of superstars such as Cheng Long, Jie Ge, Zhou Xingxing, and Ning Sheng at the same time The news made everyone pay attention to "Wolf Warrior [-]".

But Ning Sheng, who has read the script and knows how brilliant achievements "Wolf Warrior 2" has created in another time and space, understands that next year's summer vacation, everyone will probably be shocked by this wolf who suddenly jumped out!

This time Wu Jing came to play a cameo, one is to thank Ning Sheng for his continuous support, and the other is to ask Ning Sheng to give his comments on his movie and the things that need to be paid attention to when shooting abroad. After all, this is his first time in the film. Filming such a big scene abroad, so I want to hear the opinions of Ning Sheng, a famous director who enjoys international reputation.

Wu Jing was very grateful that Ning Sheng knew everything and said everything.So during the cameo filming, he did his best and gave a lot of his own suggestions on the action design, which benefited Ning Sheng's film a lot!The shooting progress was much faster.

Moreover, in order for Ning Sheng to get together with Emma, ​​and the progress of the filming was faster than expected, the filming of the afternoon scene was finished ahead of schedule, so Ning Sheng ended the afternoon filming ahead of schedule.Except for the staff who stayed behind to look after the appliances, everyone else took a boat back to the nearby town to rest.

Ning Sheng first sent away Wu Jing who was about to go back to prepare for his movie, and then happily drove Emma to a nearby beach. There were no tourists here, only some children from nearby families were playing and running , Ning Sheng and Emma watched the sunset with a group of children in front of this beautiful beach, and then went to a restaurant in the city to have dinner. They played until very late before he sent Emma back to the hotel. Emma will fly to Ning's father and Ning's mother by herself, and then continue their journey with Xinxin.Then Ning Sheng himself went back to the hotel where the crew rested.

In the corridor, Ning Cheng opened the door, but found that the room was lit. He walked in suspiciously, and saw a serious figure sitting in front of the desk, looking fascinatedly at the books on the desk. He was suddenly taken aback. He said calmly, "Wang Qiang, what are you doing?" Wang Qiang over there was startled, turned his head to look over, stood up and said, "I'm reading a book." Ning Cheng smiled, went to the kettle to pour a glass of warm water, Said: "Of course I know, I mean it's so late, 12 o'clock after 1 o'clock, why are you still reading here?"

"I didn't realize that it's so late." Wang Qiang scratched his head in embarrassment, and said, "After I sorted out the files, I saw the film study book on your desk, and I flipped through it. The annotation notes inside are great. In the blink of an eye, I saw the present—" He looked at the thick stack of books on the desk, and said with a smile, "I thought you wouldn't come back tonight."

Ning Cheng smiled and took a sip of water, but didn't answer the question. What could he say, could it be that Emma's relatives came here suddenly, feeling a little uncomfortable and needing a good rest, and couldn't stay overnight?Although everyone is male, Ning Cheng never tells the third person about the privacy between husband and wife.

Seeing that Wang Qiang was still a little embarrassed, he smiled and said, "It's nothing. If you want to continue reading, I lent you those books. You can take them back to your room and read slowly, but leave one for me."

"Oh, is it possible, really?" Wang Qiang's eyes lit up, seeing that Ning Cheng nodded, he happily picked up the stack of books with both hands, and there was only one new book left, and he said happily: "Thank you! Director, I'm leaving then, good night."

Looking at the back of him walking outside with a book in his hands, Ning Cheng remembered the first time he met Wang Qiang. Although he didn't have a high degree of education, as long as he worked hard, latecomers would catch up everywhere, wouldn't he?
In another time and space, he didn't know if Wang Qiang would become a good director in the end. In this life, with Wang Qiang's current efforts, Ning Cheng believed that one day, Wang Qiang would be a very good new director in China!

In the evening, this rural town by the sea seemed even more peaceful. On the tree-lined path, Ning Cheng was walking slowly on a bicycle, rolling over the fallen leaves on the ground. Looking at the ordinary and beautiful scenery around him, he felt Very happy.After half a month of filming, the time has come to the beginning of June. The scenes of "Angel of the Thunderbolt" will all end here tomorrow. The crew will also leave this small town and go to another city to shoot the last scene. Before leaving Before that, he wanted to take a good tour of this place again.

The final wrapping scene of "Thunderbolt" took place on a beautiful beach.When all the bad guys are defeated, the three angels wear their own bikinis, one is sexy, one is cute, and the other is beautiful, walking slowly on the beach, the sea breeze blows the hair of the three, the sunset and sunset are hanging on the beach, the children Ning Cheng, who was sitting behind the monitor, was also deeply attracted by this beautiful moment!

It was less than a month after Ning Sheng's movie wrapped.Ning Cheng, who was doing post-production that day, suddenly received a call from Brother Jie. He connected and said, "Hello, Brother Jie, is the new movie finished yet?"

"Not yet. You also know that we have delayed the start of filming by two months, and we are hurrying to hurry up. However, I heard that your film has already wrapped up. So, have you set a release date yet?" Brother Jie's laughter was still so hearty, and he said: "My new film company is also preparing to release during the Lunar New Year this year, so I want to ask in advance, so that we can stagger the schedule to avoid collisions."

Ning Cheng got up and opened the door to go out, came to the lounge, then smiled on the phone and said, "Okay, I don't want to bump into you, Brother Jie, but our schedule will not be confirmed until we submit it for trial, so it may take a while." How about you? When is your schedule scheduled to be released?" Brother Jie's laughter came from the phone, and he said with a helpless tone: "We've only filmed half of it here, and the earliest schedule is probably as soon as possible." It should be in December or January, but the specific date will definitely not be determined until after the finalization, when your date is determined, we will take the initiative to avoid it."

Ning Cheng smiled and said, "Okay, when we confirm the schedule, we will tell you right away!"

After discussing this matter with Brother Jie, Ning Sheng jumped into the editing room to work again.The three of Ning Tong who finished the filming mission had already flown to the beach in Spain for vacation as they had agreed before.

After getting Ning Sheng's promise to make an action scene with her as the heroine next year, Emma is now taking care of Xinxin and working hard at exercising her body. She needs to practice yoga, improve her body's flexibility, and is still learning Some routines of Chinese martial arts are used to prepare for beautiful moves. It can be said that although I haven't even seen the script so far, Emma is very interested in this action movie of her own!Already started preparing for the movie a year in advance!
