screen age

Chapter 180
"start!"

In front of the monitor, Chen Xi looked at the screen connected to the camera, not missing a single bit.

Because if there are too many cameras, it is easy to appear in the gang, so for many movies, although there are several backup cameras, there are really not many people who start shooting at the same time, and there are only a few camera positions.

What is being shot now is the interior of the room, and it is the first scene where Shen Lian breaks into the mansion.

Except for the decorations that need to be filmed, many other places have been demolished.

Just demolishing this house and restoring it later will cost a lot of money, but we don't hesitate.

Because this part is the beginning of the whole film, if the filming is not good, the attractiveness of the film will drop too much, so Chen Xi has to film this film to the degree that he thinks is the most perfect no matter what.

This involves the issue of photography.

When shooting interior scenes, the most troublesome thing in many cases is that the camera cannot be used, there is not enough space to move around, and you can only toss around in a limited space, and it is difficult to produce many effects. In addition, it is necessary to prevent cross-cutting and change the shooting angle once. It is also very difficult... In short, shooting indoors, especially in such a cramped space, is a nightmare for many photographers and directors.

But there is no way, there can be no indoor drama.

"Southeast, try using a handheld later." I just took a shot, and the feeling of circular orbit photography is different from what Chen Xi wanted anyway.

The shooting method of real film movies is not commonly used in hand-held, because even the best photographer will have a little bit of shaking if it is hand-held. The effect of shaking will be obvious on the big screen, but it is used to shoot some In a specific scene, hand-held is also essential.

"Okay." Ye Dongnan nodded upon hearing this.

Chen Xidao: "You can shake it a little bit in the fight, don't overdo it, that's the main point, you can play the rest freely, of course, if you can keep up, that's fine too."

Handheld photography, the subject is a constantly changing actor, there will be a focus problem.

After all, the camera is not the human eye, and it is not easy to change from one focal point to another. Of course, Ye Dongnan and the others can do it. They are also film-level photographers, but Chen Xi did not make a rigid requirement.

"Old Han." At this time, Chen Xi said to the photographer who was shooting from above: "Try using telephoto, it didn't feel right just now, and also, try using grayscale mode, okay call me, let me see Let's see the effect."

There was a response from above, and now Chen Xi started to trouble the lighting again: "Old Zhao, what did you do? If you don't think there is a problem, come over and watch the replay, do you think it's candlelight? It's all incandescent. Is the color good?"

In fact, Chen Xi is too exaggerated. These are professional lighting groups, and it is quite simple to simulate a candlelight, but Chen Xi feels a bit too white, so he just exaggerated it, but the lighting side definitely dare not have any objections.

"Mr. Zhang." Chen Xi stopped Zhang Zhen: "You are like this!"

After speaking, Chen Xi came directly to Zhang Zhen and said: "The action you just made felt like you were thinking about how to move next. Don't think too much later, anyway, we have several other times."

Zhang Zhen nodded: "I'm sorry."

Chen Xi smiled: "Nothing, in fact, you acted very well."

...Finally, I finished talking about these things for the time being, and then everyone rearranged the arrangement. After about five minutes, another shooting started...In the end, it took four shots for this segment, and the actors exhausted a lot of energy. Not letting Zhang Zhen go just like that, he quickly called Ye Dongnan over and said, "Dongnan, wait for a counterattack, mainly from Teacher Zhang's side, and fully demonstrate that movement."

"Okay!" Ye Dongnan nodded.

There is no way, in order to capture the feeling of some shots, many things need to be shot again and again, and then start to shoot again from other angles, and this is only one section, and it will be repeated until the next section... Making movies is so troublesome, For the director, it is even more difficult for the actors to grasp the details of any one time and remember some good parts. They have to act over and over again.

Sometimes, it may be that there are some remarkable points in some places this time, but there are shortcomings. After careful consideration, I have to re-act it again. As a result, the bad parts before may become better this time, but What was good before may be bad...

So, one after another...

Once and again...

But there is no way, who made them actors?

In fact, this kind of reshooting one after another is also the place where boredom is most likely to appear in the process of filming. From the director to any ordinary staff, there will be a sense of boredom. Filming is such a boring thing.

So all the directors, and even most of the staff like good actors, the play is good, many things are easy to understand, you don’t need to say too much, they can help you complete it, if the play is not good, it’s really a toss .

But it was only the first scene, and the crew took two days to complete it. The progress was slow enough, so Chen Xi told everyone to hurry up as much as possible. The next shot was the three brothers opening in the Yan Mansion during the day For the scene of killing ring, I filmed other scenes at night.

Many fighting scenes in "Embroidered Spring Knife" took place at night, so this is also the movie with the most night scenes since Chen Xi made the movie.

The next filming of the killing scene in the Yan Mansion will be one of the most difficult to shoot.

In this scene, the first one is difficult to shoot because it is more important in the movie: to reflect the brotherhood, the tacit understanding of going through life and death, and to shoot well, and Chen Xi himself added his special requirements: "The filming is real !"

The so-called authenticity, of course, does not mean a complete restoration of real fighting. If it is true...it is basically impossible, and it will not be of much viewing value.

What Chen Xi said is true is still logically true, and he still needs the feeling of "Raid".

The first thing that bears the brunt is the problem of the minority versus the majority. In the fighting scenes of the original "Xiu Chun Knife", there are mainly two group battle scenes. The second scene is smarter. Opened the problem that one person will be surrounded by many people: After all, the horse is very fast, so it is difficult for the person under the horse to fight everyone, but in the previous game, the three brothers were surrounded, and there were many people in the middle. There are still too many players on the field, and there are always many players who are gearing up and just can't make it. They have to wait for the protagonist to kill one of them before rushing forward.

In fact, it is not very difficult for three people to solve this problem, because as long as the three people are back to back, they can basically face weapons coming from all directions. The method is to use time and space plus props to allow oneself to move flexibly. Although one person is against many, it still becomes a one-to-two or even one-to-one situation.

If it is really impossible to explain, we can only take pictures of those people without the camera for the time being, and not explain the fighting relationship between them for the time being.

Chen Xi's request made the shooting more troublesome, so the reshoots were repeated one after another.

The reshoots of literary dramas are just a little more troublesome, and the physical problem is not serious, but this kind of martial arts, a retake will consume a lot of physical strength, and the actors' physical strength is almost exhausted... This requires a lot of energy. The literacy and the arrangement of the director.

Sure enough, during the filming of the Yan Mansion, there were many situations. Li Dongxue was injured in the head by a prop, and the blood flowed out. Fortunately, this kid is not bad, and his working condition is very good. This kind of head injury still sees blood In such a situation, put on another headgear...the taste...don't mention it!

But Li Dongxue is really dedicated, and he still insisted on continuing to shoot. After a day of filming, when he tore off his headgear, the hairgear was already stuck to the wound on his head. It hurts so badly.

The scene in the Yan Mansion was very difficult at first, but after gradually smoothing it out, the shooting became smoother. After three days, all the scenes were filmed, and the battle between Li Dongxue and Wu Jing was also filmed at night.

In the battle between Li Dongxue and Wu Jing, the problem is that Wu Jing is too powerful. Whether it is shooting skills or his own real combat power, Li Dongxue's weapon can be knocked down by Wu Jing with a little force, but Wu Jing is also very experienced. It also adapted to Li Dongxue's situation.

It just so happens that this part of the scene also needs Wu Jing's "show off skills" to a large extent. In the original version, Ding Xiu is a very good knife player, so this part is okay.

...The filming of "Xiu Chun Knife" went on day by day, and Chen Xi was also on the set, building up the house of "Xiu Chun Knife" day by day.

After a month of filming, "Embroidered Spring Knife" has already finished filming even including the decisive battle in the grassland, and everyone has taken off a layer of skin, especially the main actors...Wu Jing is not bad, after all He was originally filming these things, and his physical fitness and physical fitness are quite outstanding. For him, the fighting intensity in "Xiu Chun Knife" is actually not as good as "Raid".

Every fight in the middle is quite exciting, and the fight between Wu Jing and Nie Yuan is also very beautiful. These things make Chen Xi very confident in the fighting scenes of "Xiu Chun Dao", at least the viewing is absolutely Enough, next, "Embroidered Spring Knife" will start to shoot those literary dramas that are basically not related to martial arts. Except for a few very important scenes, these shootings should not be too difficult. Relatively speaking, the time consumed will be much less , so "Embroidered Spring Knife" can be filmed and edited a little later in May, and the editing time is not long, so the film should be about to be released... When the time comes to choose the release date, it will not be the same as before. Both movies are too rushed.

PS: This chapter is late again, I didn’t update it after I went to play yesterday afternoon.

Alas, the state is really bad recently, I have to reflect on it.

Thank you for your unwavering support.
