Every Chinese actor present was touched. Uncle Ge is considered an old-timer among them. I still remember that when I was filming "See You or Separate", I went to the United States to film. At that time, the film was not broadcast in the United States. They didn't have to abide by the rules there, and they filmed them the way Chinese films were made, but that group of people had personally experienced the feelings brought about by different systems.
There are some things that you don't have to hold your head proudly and say you are not convinced. It is true that Hollywood's labor unions are too strong, which is a drawback, but their strong points are indeed our shortcomings.
Everyone also understood why Chen Hao, who always emphasizes the professionalism of extras, is willing to use staff to fill the gap this time. It turns out that they have already made arrangements for extras who can show their faces or have actions in the screen. Professional actors registered with the Screen Actors Guild, Asians, people from island countries or other countries, but in the hearts of these people they are all Americans and they all speak English. They have no idea what some of us are thinking about. I have never understood it.
Sun Li was full of energy, and the casual attitude of occasionally playing side scenes was gone. Everyone was the same, focusing on their own state like crazy, and at the same time paying attention to the performances of the extras next to them. .
After watching it, I have to admire that when you enter the play, people carry their characters with them. Even if you can't catch the camera, they are still playing their own roles when the director doesn't call for a card. They treat themselves as the protagonists instead of the actors. I feel like it doesn’t matter if I’m supporting the role.
Chen Hao once watched Huang Jiaozhu's version of "The Deer and the Cauldron". When Wei Xiaobao went to find Shunzhi, in two consecutive scenes, Shunzhi was used as the background. He was supposed to be reciting scriptures with a low eyebrow, indicating that he had converted. In my Buddha state, everything in the past has nothing to do with him. But in this scene, there are several shots in a row. Through the shadow, you can see that Li Chengru, the veteran actor who plays Shunzhi, stretched his head and looked to one side several times. It was completely out of the performance state, and it was not included in the later editing. Found that it was not dealt with.
It cannot be said that Li Chengru's acting was not good. He made the same mistake as Sun Li just now. When he felt that the leftover material was not important, he got distracted and gave his concentration a holiday, so there were scenes where he was distracted. Self-aware.
Once this group of people became focused, the aura they formed was very powerful, which in turn surprised the Asian actors from the Screen Actors Guild. They had dreams and persisted on this path. They had always thought that they were unlucky. Once you get a good opportunity, you will be able to achieve your dreams with your own strength and continuous hard work. Those celebrities who are currently popular are not necessarily better than themselves, they just have better luck.
Here today, this group of actors from Huaxia made them see the gap and gave them a new understanding of their dreams. Opportunities are important, but strength is even more important. Don't always expect the opportunity to come. If it comes, you won't have it. Be prepared. If you lose an opportunity once, it will never come again. Only your own strength is the foundation. Only when you are strong can you truly seize opportunities in the future.
On the first day of shooting, the first scene was also the first location scene. It switched between real scenes and non-physical performances. After the plane accident, everyone left the plane in embarrassment and lived on a desert island.
The large crew is fully prepared in all aspects. Every appearance of the actors will be saved in 3D images. Once they return to the time point for shooting, the saved images need to be retrieved to re-dress the actors and put on makeup, and every costume We will prepare at least two sets, and there will be more than 20 people every day, carefully watching the material shot in a day, and selecting the material that has problems or is too tight, especially in this type of film, the clothes will be penetrated due to sweating. The way the dirt and dust spread on the face, the change in hairstyle, and the distribution of dirt and blood on the body are all very easy to spot.
Some scenes seem to last a minute or two, but it is too normal to shoot them in the morning and afternoon or today and tomorrow. It is impossible for an actor to spend a day without washing his face, taking a shower, or changing clothes, and then shoot again the next day, fix his makeup and change Clothes are the hardest hit area when it comes to clothing problems.
In addition to arranging a lot of manpower and material resources to search for outcrops, Chen Hao also discussed with everyone during the filming process. We are not afraid of rework and effort, but if we can make some small efforts to avoid the appearance of outcrops, I hope everyone can still cooperate. I We will arrange time reasonably and try to shoot continuously so that everyone does not work overtime for too long.
This kind of attitude is not something everyone is used to, and even the extras from the United States are a little bit uncomfortable with it.
Working hours of eight or nine hours a day, with weekend breaks every week, is a human right. No one can deprive everyone of their right to rest. I am willing to pay for my rest to get at least double the salary.
Here at Chen Hao, not only the salary, but also everything from food to drinks is high-quality. His purpose has always been simple. Don’t underestimate the role of any screw. I would rather spend more money during the filming stage, but also want to bring everyone together. The condition of everyone is adjusted to the best. If a group of people can shoot one scene in good condition, the effect of one scene may not affect the whole scene, but if there are ten scenes and twenty scenes.
Success is like climbing a mountain. It is achieved step by step. Taking the cable car is a shortcut, but aren't you afraid of falling?
On the first day of shooting, we chose the outdoor scenes, which was also a process of getting used to and adapting to the scene. The most appropriate shooting time arrangement can also increase the overall performance effect. Everyone had just arrived here, and it was the first scene to be shot. There was still a little bit of unfamiliarity in their hearts. This scene was also about surviving after a disaster and surviving in an unfamiliar environment. This unfamiliarity did not need to be performed, and everyone had special effects.
We worked overtime on the first day to shoot. According to Chen Hao's idea, we directly shot everyone's state of entering the night, and how to survive on the deserted island on the first night.
The large group scenes were shot continuously for a whole day. At this time, everyone saw the advantage of the group actors being professional actors. They can always keep up. You don't need to worry about the main actors being in good condition and shooting, but one of the group actors messed up, and everyone had to reshoot.
With such a group of actors, Chen Hao can try to shoot more comprehensive shots. There is no need to always shoot small shots of three or four people. It seems normal to be interspersed in the plot, but when your shots have long shots, close shots and a group of people, and switch back and forth freely, the pictures taken feel really different. You make it like a skit. In order to save resources, you shoot back and forth between three or four people to support the entire plot; this is a blockbuster, and the scenes of more than a dozen or twenty people are standard. Shooting on a deserted island is not like finding a small hill to intercept a clip and shoot. Can the feeling be the same?
The idea is good, but the actual situation always exceeds your expectations.
Chen Hao was mentally prepared, but when the task on the first day was not completed, he would still feel a little unhappy. However, when he saw the material that more than half of the expected scenes were completed that day, that little bit of unhappiness disappeared.
The filming lasted until after 10pm, but we didn't leave the island. The conditions here are much better than in Greater Khingan Range. There are fewer mosquitoes in Sanya. We set up tents on the beach at night and enjoy the sea breeze. One or two hundred people live together and have all the necessary living security. Although there are no single rooms, the houses on the beach that were originally used by fishermen for supplies are now designed as bathrooms and dressing rooms. At least taking a shower every day is not a problem, and the fun of collective life exceeds the limited mood of living outside.
In the big tent, Chen Hao didn't sleep until the early morning, watching the materials shot today. Together with the entire post-production team, we screened the filmed materials every day to advance the workload and avoid omissions when there are too many materials in the post-production. In this way, we screened them first and the post-production went on normally. The workload was large and the money paid was also more, but all these added up could not match the quality of the whole film.
Big money is being thrown in from Yanjing every day. After the bank loan is in place, it will quickly fill the bottomless pit of the "Lost City". At present, the second phase of the project can only be used for infrastructure construction. Otherwise, before the first season is released, this bottomless pit will suck all the investment dry. In that case, even if you are confident, it does not conform to the basic law of investment. The confidence that Chen Hao has given everyone cannot support the investment that is overdrawn to that extent.
The money is not bad, but the time is bad, but this is put under pressure by Chen Hao. Don't bring all negative emotions into the crew. Since you investors have chosen to believe me, then believe me to the end. It will be useless if you don't believe me at this time. There is only one result of urging me to shoot quickly, and the things I shoot are not what I am satisfied with.
From Ge Da Ye to baby and Zhao Liying, everyone knows how much pressure Chen Hao is under. Seeing him smiling every day, such a large investment has attracted the attention of the whole world. At present, the investment that can be seen by the outside world has reached 2 billion Chinese yuan. The crew has just started, and there will be more places to burn money later. Money is one thing. The entire shooting cycle, from preparation to shooting, took more than two months. It will take a long time to shoot. Unless everyone has excellent performances with great concentration every day, otherwise, with his requirements for excellence, you don’t think you can see this drama before the New Year. If this drama wants to appear in the spring season of American dramas, it depends not only on everyone’s efforts, but also on luck.
“Don’t worry, don’t worry, let’s do one more, the last one. Everyone will take the boat back today and have a good rest. The shooting plan for tomorrow and the day after tomorrow will be distributed to you. Those who don’t have a role will be free to move around. When we come back, it’s the action scenes on location.”
For more than ten consecutive days, everyone took turns to go back to the city two or three times. Most people worked hard here every day to shoot the entire literary drama about the island location in the first season. All the literary dramas about the island location were shot. The next location action scenes will be the first serious test for all actors—Chen Hao has to shoot all real locations, and the actresses have to run in the jungle of the deserted island and do some large-scale actions.
