Chapter 139
With the development of action movies to this day, many things have matured day by day, and they have also formed their own unique narrative style.

The shots described above are also used in many action movies, and of course can be used in thrillers.

For this shot, in order to be the most realistic, Chen Xi and the others set up an explosion point directly in front of the actor's eyes to explode the glass of the goggles.

Of course, it is impossible for them not to protect the actor's eyes, there is protection in the middle.

But even so, Chen Xi would still take the trouble to exhort her.

At the beginning, everything Chen Xi wanted to do was to be as close to reality as possible. In order to achieve that real texture, he could spend a lot of time and resources on it.

Just like director Nolan.

Nolan is a believer in this real texture.

"Batman", "Interstellar", "Inception".

He insists on not using 3D, and never using CG special effects if it can be built with a model.

It’s by no means that he hates new technologies. In fact, he is a supporter of many new technologies such as IMAX and CG. He insists on using some old methods to complete film shooting. In his eyes, the technology is not as mature as the old technology that has been formed and stabilized.

Chen Xi is also like this now, if he can fight for real, no special effects will be added, and if he can act more violently, he will never be perfunctory.

Although it hurts the actors like this, but they have to come. Chen Xi will give them more red envelopes after filming, but for the quality of the movie, you have to sacrifice and give up a lot of things.

At this moment, everyone on the set could feel Chen Xi's sincere concern for even the most ordinary Wu Xing.

Maybe some people who are familiar with various action movies in Xiangjiang will feel that Chen Xi is a bit of a mother-in-law, but as those martial arts themselves, they are still very grateful to Chen Xi.

And this can also enhance everyone's cohesion: you can see that he cares so much about an ordinary martial artist, and even more so for other people.

Xiangjiang martial arts, those most common martial arts, behind them are tears of bitterness.

On the set, you basically have to do what others tell you to do. Before you become famous, you have no human rights. If you get injured, you may not get any compensation, and you have to pay for the medical expenses yourself...

If you don't become famous all your life, a martial artist may break your body around the age of 40, but you have nowhere to depend on.

Many actors are most afraid of encountering unscrupulous directors, even if they are pornstars, they are also worried about encountering unscrupulous directors... Be good, don't give any buffer at all, let the next male actor go to worry about the female, there is nothing to do... (metaphor is a bit unscrupulous).

A director like Chen Xi is indeed rare, so everyone worked harder and worked harder to perform for this movie.

Including some main actors will also be infected by this.

……

"Bang! Bang!"

The scene being filmed now is still a shootout.

Things in the world, especially those created by human beings, you can always play with countless tricks, and you can change the way to attract the audience. Many times, these ways are even unimaginable!

Applying it to movies, that is, any type of movie, or even any content in it, may develop more meanings.

That's what shootouts are like.

The scene is grand, can be like "Saving Private Ryan", precise, lyrical can be like "Changing Face"...

The key words of the shootout scene in "Raid" are tension, precision, and burst!Of these three things, one cannot be missing.

Up to now, the shootout scene has been filmed almost. It takes a lot of time and energy to shoot a shootout scene in other movies, but in "The Raid", the shootout scene is relatively easy to shoot.

"One, two, three! ACTION!"

Chen Xi was sitting behind the monitor. After he said a word to the executive director on the walkie-talkie, the director shouted this sentence.

"Clap clap clap clap!"

A series of explosive points exploded directly above the guardrail.

Burst point simulates bullet shooting.

And the actors, in such an environment, avoided each other according to the arrangement in the script.

Some also performed the scene of being hit by a gun.

In fact, everyone here is more familiar with this kind of performance after being shot.

Now their performances are mostly simulation performances, which need to add bullet trajectory through post-production, and use sound effects to show the howling sound of bullets flying across the air... So now the actors are only simulating the scene of being shot.

Chen Xi's request to them is to try not to exaggerate and try to be normal.

Although the ballistic impact can indeed make people's bodies irresistible, it is best not to have exaggerated scenes like the early Xiangjiang gunfight movies, because Chen Xi still wants to pursue that sense of reality!
If this movie has a strong sense of reality and looks good, it is basically more than half of the success!This is what Chen Xi has always pursued.

The scene went smoothly, and these experienced actors did a better job of mimicking it.

After shooting this scene, Chen Xi was a little sleepy. She was busy discussing the correction of movements last night, and she woke up again after not closing her eyes for a few hours.

These days, through various moves and everyone's hard work, Chen Xi and the others eliminated some moves that were unsightly, unsightly, stiff, or too fake.

The original version of "Raid", in fact, is really not high in terms of pure action level. It is a few streets behind Chinese action movies in terms of aesthetics, and it is not as good as "Tom Yum Kung" and "Boxer" in terms of pure authenticity and fierceness. Opponents... Now what Chen Xi and the others have to do is to improve, it doesn't matter, and they have to reach the level of "Boxing Fighter" and "Tom Yum Kung" in terms of rigidity... These things are not only for the actors, but also for the action design. more requirements.

Therefore, Chen Xi spends a large part of their time every day on the continuous overthrow and reorganization of the action design. If it is the final draft of the action design, it is still necessary to ask the actors to perform the routine first. If there are still problems in the middle , then we have to overthrow and start all over again...

In this process, not only the actors worked hard, Chen Xi and the others were also tortured terribly.

But otherwise, how could an excellent movie come out?
So Chen Xi felt exhausted about all of this, but he didn't complain. He also tried his best to restrain his temper, which was infinitely inflated due to lack of rest, and try to become calm.

At this point, the shooting of the pure shootout scene is almost over.

……night.

"Our recent shooting plans, storyboard scripts, and action scripts are basically done! So the next shooting, I will leave it to you first! I still have some things to do in Lin'an, so I have to go back as soon as possible " Chen Xi said to Liu Jialiang.

At this moment, Liu Jialiang did not directly nod in agreement, but frowned and said to Chen Xi: "Director Chen, our filming is now at a critical stage, why are you planning to leave? The next step is the most important thing to do in filming." It's a good time, you're not here, there are a lot of things I can't find anyone to discuss with!"

"Just call me when the time comes!" Chen Xi said, "Haven't we finished the general plan? I trust you for the rest of the specific shooting problems. With your rich experience, you will definitely have your own problems." set."

Liu Jialiang spread his hands and said with a wry smile: "I really don't want you to trust me so much at a time like this...Your trust...Well, anyway, I feel quite tired."

"Anyway, I can only work hard on you! Those who are capable work harder!" Chen Xi said to Liu Jialiang: "The success or failure of the movie depends on you."

"Okay!" Liu Jialiang shook his head and smiled wryly.

Chen Xi added: "Of course, I will come back within five days, this time should be enough."

"Five days is fine..." Liu Jialiang pondered for a while and said, "Anyway, you should come back as soon as possible!"

"okay."

During the filming process, in many cases, the director will act as a hand-off shopkeeper. He only needs to pass on his general ideas, and other things will be carried out by the assistant director and executive director. Directors and executive directors can fully understand the director's intentions. As long as the director says a few words, they will know what they should do next and how to shoot to satisfy the director...

Although Chen Xi hadn't really worked as a director before, things often happened when the director threw him some things to let him come. It was just such things that allowed him to forge a solid frame of steel and iron, and he was very sensitive to various scenes. If you have more than enough control, you can completely bring many movies under your control.

Of course Chen Xi can trust Liu Jialiang, and they have discussed so many things together these days, and the shooting style and many things have been settled. Nothing to worry about.

... Chen Xi took off from Xiangjiang and arrived in Lin'an after a few hours.

He came back for the matter of "Rush Forward for the Olympics". Now, "Rush Forward for the Olympics" has prepared the venue and other things in advance at a very fast speed, and what is waiting now is to officially start recording.

The main selling point of "Olympic Forward" is actually the audience, so the labor cost for recording is not particularly high, and many episodes can be recorded in one day.

Their "Deep Space Film and Television" has reached a strategic cooperation relationship with Jiangnan TV. This time, many staff members of "Olympic Rush" come from Jiangnan Satellite TV, but "Deep Space Film and Television" is in charge of investment and the like.

Most of the share of "Frontier Wind and Cloud" has now come to the account of "Deep Space Film and Television", and a lot of this money has been invested in "Olympic Rush Forward". Therefore, in fact, the current working capital of "Deep Space Film and Television" rare.

Chen Xi also had to say that what she did was to spend money!But the purpose of spending money is to make more money, which Chen Xi understands very well.
