Chapter 720 Everyone Paddling
what to do?
Chen Kexin is thinking, Cheng Xiaodong is thinking, Jet Li is thinking, everyone is thinking.
I hope others don't make the same mistake again.
In everyone's heart, they hope that others will not make mistakes.
It was another afternoon of shooting. There were only a few scattered shots available, and it was not yet finalized whether to use them. There are subtle differences in the pictures taken at different times, such as differences in styling. If they can be seen, they must be discarded and shot again. .
When Chen Kexin waved helplessly to signal the end of the day's shooting, everyone in the entire crew looked unhappy. No one had a smile on their face, and no one was planning to drink some wine to relieve fatigue in the evening. Everyone was looking down. I returned to my room in silence. After I came in, I lay down on the bed. I didn’t want to do anything. I closed my eyes. After a while, I heard snoring. I didn’t want to eat, and I didn’t want to think about anything. At this time, I thought about how fast every minute would go by, but I couldn't do anything if I thought too much. It was a big scene shot by multiple cameras. The only thing I could do was to shoot in a small area of my own to ensure that I didn't make any mistakes.
During the filming of the last few scenes after the year, the atmosphere on the crew did not become relaxed, but became even more tense. The three consecutive days of filming were not smooth. According to this progress, it would be even more difficult to end the filming before the year. burdened by Chen Kexin The pressure on him can be imagined. The light in his room would stay on until very late every night, but the failure of the shooting was beyond his control to a certain extent.
After several days of shooting, everyone was very tired, and the impetuous mood was always spread among the crew. After several days, the shooting efficiency was decreasing every day. If it weren't for the last scene of two brothers fighting in the rain, it would be If you want to go south to film, Chen Kexin plans to film this scene first.
The war drama was really difficult to shoot. Chen Kexin put in 200% of his energy to shoot, but it was almost worn out in the past few days. Well, he had no choice but to adjust his mentality. Shooting over and over again, I used an iron pestle to grind a needle to grind out the plot.
"call!"
After Chen Hao got in the car, he lay directly on the bed in the back of the car. From the morning until three o'clock in the afternoon, the filming was all about his scenes. Andy Lau and Jet Li had a rest today. Chen Kexin was worried that the protagonist's mentality would collapse, so he chose In this way, it doesn't matter if they take turns, be tired or complain, he can enlighten them, and giving them a full day's rest is to make them forget about the bad filming before, and try to calm their minds so that they don't What Chen Kexin is most afraid of now is that there will be problems during shooting. Any problems outside of shooting are not a problem for him. He only hopes to control everything that can be controlled during shooting to minimize the probability of errors and omissions.
It took a day of shooting, and some detailed shots were retained, and some small-scale battles were shot. Overall, the results were good, but even with Chen Hao's physical ability, he felt too tired. After a day of shooting action scenes, was he tired? I put it aside first, and the sweat on my body was sticky in my clothes. It felt too uncomfortable. Chen Hao, who was becoming more and more accustomed to the luxurious life, really liked the moderate temperature and humidity in the RV. .
"Would you like to tell the director that your role in the scene should be reduced today?" Chen Gang looked at him with concern. He was very aware of his achievements as a child. The numbers in his bank card were enough to make him feel empty-handed, both at home and outside. His industry is enough to support his sky, and he has gained fame and strength as a star. He can probably calm down for a while, right?
That's what he thought, but what he saw was Chen Hao working harder. The more he looked at him, the more he admired him and the more he felt distressed. Brother, it's almost done. You've been successful enough. There's no need to throw yourself in the mud. All the fuss.
"Persevere, that's what it's like to be an actor. If you can't hold your breath, your previous efforts will be in vain. It will be like a slide, sliding down. There will be no place for you to stop on this road. If you don't work hard to move forward, you can only go backwards." Chen Hao smiled self-deprecatingly and patted his forehead: "Look, I'm telling you the truth. Go get me some fresh juice. I'm fine. ”
Chen Hao's side is still good, but Jet Li and Andy Lau's progress has slowed down, especially Andy Lau. In front of professional actions, he, the idol brother, has to be like a canyon hijacking food. He needs a substitute and a certain degree of success. The action scenes were deleted, otherwise his physical fitness would not be able to support such an intense shooting, and his own action scenes would also be limited and difficult to actually shoot.
As the days passed, Chen Hao's schedule on the crew had passed. The filming of "Descendants of the Sun" had entered the New Year's holiday. Without his part, all the scattered scenes had been filmed during this period. Now it's time to When he, the leading actor, came back, even if he was not satisfied with some scenes after watching them, they had to reshoot them. The filming was completed in so many days.
Lele's annual ceremony is also getting closer. As Lele's first brother, Chen Hao has a program to perform at the awards ceremony that night. Lele officials have been waiting for his arrival. If he stops, he may not even be able to perform, and it will gradually become a luxury to be able to receive awards on site.
The daily shooting schedule was tight, and Chen Hao didn't have much time to chat on the phone or video chat with Dilireba. It was his limit to ensure that he could spare more than an hour to live broadcast to everyone for two or three days. With his physical fitness, he was exhausted physically and mentally after a period of shooting. Others could imagine that. Director Chen Kexin, who always paid great attention to his appearance, now had sunken eyes and his hair was not as neatly combed as before. Even if Sandra Ng came from Hong Kong to accompany him, she could only keep his clothes clean and tidy. His decadent state did not change at all.
The grinding of time and everyone's persistence always made slow work and fine work. The passing of each shot made everyone see the hope of success. In the middle, Chen Kexin took Jet Li and Chen Hao to fly to the south and finished the last killing scene in the movie city there.
The assistant director arranged for people to prepare everything first, and in the end, the two of them started fighting. Cheng Xiaodong and his team had already designed complete actions for the two. One is a Kung Fu superstar, and the other is a real Kung Fu fighter. When the two were in a state of holding back their energy in the group scene, this time they really exploded.
Chen Kexin was stunned, Cheng Xiaodong was stunned, and everyone was stunned.
The pursuit is real, and the weather is drizzling. According to Chen Kexin's idea, they will shoot first. If it doesn't work, they will shoot with artificial rain.
The two actors who exploded gave everyone a huge surprise. The whole scene, the two only used N cameras twice, and they adjusted and started shooting instantly.
A light rain lasted for more than an hour, and the two used this more than an hour to shoot the killing scene. Many actions were shot with long shots, which completely exceeded Chen Kexin's expectations. He thought that such shots should be shot several times, but when he saw the two fighting back and forth, he didn't call a card at all. The few shots on the scene that would not be exposed by each other only needed to record their actions.
Perfect!
The perfect shooting boosted the morale of the entire crew. Chen Kexin and Cheng Xiaodong led everyone to rush into the scene to applaud the two, regardless of the rain. It was so wonderful. Chen Kexin's feelings were still a little lacking. Cheng Xiaodong and his team have shot too many action scenes over the years and have been action martial arts instructors in too many films. It is really rare to see such a wonderful fight. The movie shot by Jackie Chan and Jet Li was exciting enough, but it was not as big as the sparks that Chen Hao and Jet Li collided with this time. It took more than an hour to shoot a few minutes of scenes. This efficiency is so perfect that it makes people feel incredible.
Flying there in the morning and flying back overnight that day, the return of Chen Kexin, Jet Li, Chen Hao and others has injected new confidence into the entire crew. The boosted morale also played a role in the subsequent shooting. More and more people are shooting in a more focused state. The extras have seen the efforts and concentration of the big stars.
Jet Li crawled on the ground and had no image at all.
Andy Lau was covered in sweat and no longer had the image of a male god.
Chen Hao was covered in mud and blood. During the break in filming, he sat on the ground like all the extras.
Even the big stars were like this, so the extras felt balanced. Seeing the efforts of all the crew members, even those who were just trying to get by put away their laziness. Every time they filmed, even if the camera couldn't capture them, they still tried their best to perform.
Chen Kexin could see everyone's efforts. As a director, he didn't skimp on the investment of the crew. He gave everyone extra meals every day, prepared some fruits and public cigarettes for everyone every day, warmed more people's hearts, made them work harder, and the crew got better pictures.
The three leading actors were not idle either. They took turns to buy fruit drinks and hot milk tea for everyone every day. They would buy wine and dishes for everyone after filming every day. After a tiring day, even if no shots were kept that day, at least everyone worked hard. The three of them would accompany everyone to drink some wine and tell everyone to have a good rest and continue tomorrow.
With the concerted efforts of all, the scenes of "The Warlords" were finally finished. At this time, it was already the end of January, and there were not many days left before the New Year. The weather was getting colder and colder, and the filming was getting more and more difficult. In the end, Jet Li and several other main creators confronted the investors, hoping to add a little more investment, and for nothing else, to give an extra red envelope to all the brothers who had worked hard together.
There were very few who slacked off. After working hard together for such a long time, they were all real men. Everyone wanted to make a good film, and in the end they did make a good film. They thought that this red envelope should be given, even if the investment had overflowed by nearly 40%.
