People from Huaying, Qianda, Brother Media, and Tangren all came to Songjiang. In terms of on-site shooting, except for Huaying and Anshun Film and Television, which are qualified to arrange on-site supervision, the other companies are not qualified to dictate, including certain aspects. Is it reasonable to invest too much capital?
Qianda has the trust of Lao Wang and Xiao Wang. After all, we are still talking about greater cooperation. It is a theater chain and the Baektu Mountain Winter Tourism Demonstration Zone. The investment in a movie is very popular in the film and television industry. In fact, the total investment allocated to each company is only tens of millions. So what if Wei Tao is allowed to do whatever he wants? Anyway, he gets the big deal.
Brother Media has cooperated with him before, and he quite recognized Wei Tao's fantastic ideas in this field. He also knew that his name did not appear anywhere in the previous projects, but in fact, he was the real backbone from the beginning of the project. .
Only Cai Nong from Tang Dynasty came in person. As a woman, she was not afraid of making people feel like they were making a fuss. After all, if this matter really had to be classified into a physical level, she really wasn't enough.
Nazha huddled in the crowd, looking at the 'clearly' restored appearance of the scene, looking at the hundreds of staff, and looking at the many big stars that were somewhat unrecognizable. Of course she knew the reason why Mr. Cai brought her here.
She doesn't think so herself, Cai Nong does.
[Because of you, we got on the line with Mr. Wei. Before, we thought we only needed a bridge to get to know each other. But looking at the current situation, Hu Xiaoyao also called her. Mere acquaintance is meaningless, and there is also a need to come. Yes. 】
Needless to say what follows, Cai Nong regards Nazha as a tool that allows him to "come and go frequently" with Mr. Wei.
It has not been filmed abroad yet. It is just a plot. A cross street was built directly in Songjiang. Two of the buildings are completely formal buildings. Most of the scenes inside are strictly in accordance with the construction standards and not shot in paper buildings.
She had seen the financial statements every few days in Magic City before, and she couldn't help but come over to take a look. As it was now, the previously estimated 500 million yuan, of which the filming cost would increase significantly, , this is just setting up the scene, the filming has not started yet, 20 million has been thrown in. It is said that the "shelling" scene yesterday created a war atmosphere, and in one afternoon, another million was thrown in.
Panic, Cai Nong is really panicking.
Before arriving at the scene, I had a lot of thoughts on my mind, and even wanted to talk to someone. When I arrived at the scene, I realized that the cost would be higher, but I no longer wanted to talk to someone.
No matter how panicked I am, I can't show it on the outside. People just don't take it seriously. If I mess up, it won't make people laugh.
[Don’t they all have any objections to such consumption? 】
Taking advantage of the crowd, Cai Nong pulled Hu Xiaoyao aside and looked at the man who had changed significantly in a month. Is this still the same brother Xiaoyao? He is completely a tough guy with sharp edges and corners.
"Can you handle it with your body?" Cai Nong was still worried about whether there would be any hidden dangers in his body after the car accident.
Hu Xiaoyao smiled: "Sister, it's too late to say whether it can be done. If there were any hidden dangers, they would have already taken root in the body."
Cai Nong had to admit that TV drama actors and movie actors have different pursuits, especially idol drama actors, which are even more different. The distance between it and real big-budget movies will be stretched again.
In TV scripts, it is very likely that the character will be adjusted based on the actor's appearance. In movies, actors need to be close to their characters, and every script is carefully polished. The cost of adjusting actors is much lower than that of characters, not to mention that during casting, a batch of actors will be eliminated first.
The power of capital is not in all this. Future Xiaolu, is he solely responsible for the defeat of the fortress? He is the scapegoat in the eyes of the mass media, and he is the one who gets scolded the most. Capital, companies, and fans do not allow him to shave his head and affect his most valuable image. Does he dare to shave his head? As for poor acting skills, sometimes it's really not a matter of attitude, but a matter of talent.
In fact, when he shaved his hair short, it actually felt more pleasing to the eye than if he had long hair. He is a very manly person at heart, and his image as an artist is more handsome, and he has some resentment. If he hadn't gotten to know each other later, A few good brothers took him to play variety shows and regain some popularity with passers-by. Maybe after the fortress, he became completely cold.
There are variety shows, but it’s also mostly movies and TV shows.
A strong production team and a strong boss team can resist capital.
Originally, everyone thought that Zhou Shuo was brought in by capital. Many people were also surprised how the always tough Mr. Wei could allow such a person to enter the market. There had been conflicts before. Could it be that Mr. Wei also succumbed to capital?
Cai Nong also had similar thoughts, and she even complained a little. Since there are idols, why not use ours?
When she arrived at the scene, she gave up most of this idea.
Within a month, the idol star Zhou Shuo's body was gone, and he had become tanned. His hair had been shaved long ago, and he no longer wore any makeup such as eyeliner, and it was impossible to wear makeup. It was almost the same. A different person, facing everyone's surprised eyes, he was very calm.
"In the past few days, I practiced that in the morning, and in the afternoon I felt the smoke of shooting. Look at the marks on the walls. They were all made by us. This afternoon, there were special people who came over to perform live ammunition settings to give the walls real effects. …”
Listening to Hu Xiaoyao's introduction, Cai Nong didn't pay attention. She just looked at the sky.
Yes, the building is not high, but the actors are not real special warriors. The rappelling and traversing across two buildings...
"Are you here?"
"Well, there will be a protective net in the sky, and there will also be wire protection. During the actual shooting, there will probably be overhead shots, and the protective net should not be there. But the director said that not everyone's process is unprotected. Don't look at me, even if I have the courage, we can't get it."
"Can't get it?" Cai Nong asked in confusion.
"Yeah, Zhu Xichun, Wu Jing, Jiang Xia, and Zhang Yi all had to do it themselves. Zhu Xichun and Zhang Yi were brushed off. The process of Wu Jing and Jiang Xia was shot from above."
"Are they crazy? Aren't they afraid of getting hurt?"
Hu Xiaoyao shook his head and smiled bitterly. Tang people couldn't make movies. The gap in ideas was the biggest obstacle in the first place. Even the boss didn't have that concept, let alone the actors.
"Director Wu thought that all special effects could be used, but Mr. Wei refused. He said that our special effects can at best reach the standard of 80%, and the remaining 20% must be achieved by man and nature. At the same time, this is also It is unique to our Chinese big productions. The actors cannot be replaced, the staff can be replaced if the staff is not good, and the action director can be replaced if the action director is not good. At any time, even if 90% of the film is shot and the actors are not qualified, he does not mind the money ahead. Throw away the remake.”
Of course Cai Nong didn't believe what was said later. If something went wrong 90% of the time, it would be beyond his control.
"Where's the director?" Cai Nong asked Director Wu Sen. Everyone said that he was exhausted, that he couldn't adapt to the new era, and that he couldn't direct a blockbuster. After all, his past experience still gave him more opportunities to make mistakes in China. Now He has not been given up by capital and the market.
What Wei Tao wants is not how strong he is, nor does he need to be the final word. What Wei Tao wants is his established ability, not the ability to develop.
Our special effects, the images we shot, compared with his previous achievements, our actors and our shooting are even crazier. You have to blend the special effects with real performance.
This was the idea at first. After Wu Sen joined the team, we talked about it twice and saw the other party's control over the crew. Wei Tao stopped talking. As long as his script is not changed, there will be no problem. The details of the shooting, The combination of special effects and other people's standards are completely different from what those trolls on the Internet say. If you have such a bad attitude, you'd better not open your mouth or you will be laughed at.
A great director is a great director. He failed in choosing the subject matter and taking over everything. The previous "Red Cliff" lost money, and the subsequent "Taiping Wheel" lost all money. This is his reason, not the decisive reason. At least in the two times when Wei Tao chatted with him on the crew of "Operation Red Sea", regarding the details of a certain scene, the visual sense he designed sometimes surpassed the original version that flashed in Wei Tao's mind.
Cai Nong was at the scene and panicked for a moment.
The first is to panic investment consumption.
Later, he was worried about the safety of the actors.
Then came the intensity of the shooting.
Seeing Liu Tianwang working hard to do every move, and feeling sorry for Hu Xiaoyao, Cai Nong knew that he was not qualified to speak. Tianwang's wife was standing aside. Tianwang's wife almost never asked about her husband's work. Today, she also Appeared.
Since the news of their marriage was made public, the two have kept a lower profile, fearing that any normal couple's emotional behavior being photographed would be interpreted as a show of affection, which would attract strong reactions from some fans. There is almost no such behavior as visiting the set.
This time, Sister-in-law Tianwang came. Not only did she come, she also said she would not leave in a short time. She felt distressed. She couldn't see her at all normally. She wanted to go to the training camp to have a look, but her husband refused. She was only invited in occasionally. Chat for a while, at most, without anyone else asking, Liu Tianwang will ask his wife to leave.
My husband has been in the movies for thirty years, and this is the first time that Tian Wang’s wife has seen him completely without any aura. In the past, there were some self-dives for personality and love, but that also has a limit. Tian Wang makes bad movies for The matter of making money for his own film company has long been proven. Even in some films that require looking ugly, the king is still handsome.
Only this time, I didn't act ugly, but looked heroic. But at such an age, how could I not feel distressed for my wife to work hard. In the past two days, when they entered the venue, the couple had more time to communicate and saw some training on their husband's body. Can you not feel bad about the bruises and scars left behind?
Fortunately, this month, Tian Wang is no longer qualified to maintain his figure. Without adequate nutritional intake, he cannot persist in training. It is inevitable that he will gain weight and become stronger. Not to mention his wife, everyone around him feels this. It’s incredible, when did the King of Heaven become willing to ‘destroy his image’?
"Even if you give yourself an explanation, challenge it in a real sense."
With Liu Tianwang's paranoia, once he made up his mind to do it, there was no way he would give up on it midway.
Watching the King of Heaven descending from one building to another by rope, no matter how much protection there was, the people below took a deep breath. Wu Sen was in a calm mood after seeing too much in the past few days. A few days ago, he saw the third Once, he was still thinking about how to solve this problem?
As a result, Mr. Wei came. There was no argument or request. Even this matter did not exist in the whole process. You are an actor and you have to go on. Can't you do it as the king? Is there such a thing as fear of injury? If it exists, it doesn't matter, the filming hasn't officially started yet, and you can change people anytime and anywhere.
The Heavenly King's wife clasped her hands tightly and lowered her head, not daring to look at it. After looking at it once or twice, she didn't dare to look at it anymore and silently prayed for her husband in her heart.
"What's the point? If even this has to be faked, then it doesn't make any sense whether the film is made or not." Xu Lang and Wei Tao have the same argument. In an environment full of explosive points, there is a real danger of moving forward. Tactical action sports, that is what can truly be called the dedication of an actor.
For the situation in front of me, just overcome the psychological barrier. There will be no problems. There will be no problems with the protective measures. There are three layers of protection net below.
How could any more dedicated actor not accept this level of performance?
Wu Jing and Jiang Xia were practicing with their back molars clenched. When filming, their veins were bulging and they were holding back their energy to perfectly perform every move. Zhu Xichun was so stimulated by them that he practiced more every day, for fear that if he was It would be a shame to lose in these scenes. No need for others to say anything, he would not have any face in front of his brothers.
Eight people, there are so few, who dares to relax.
With the main actors like this, who among the other crew members would dare to slack off even a little bit?
In the distance, outside the blockade, one of the many media outlets finally got some gossip.
"Those actions were all performed by the actors themselves."
These days, after all, they are in the air, far away, and the media and fans can see it, but they don't take it seriously, thinking that it is the crew's action stunt doubles practicing, and they don't have all the actors in their minds. The concept of taking matters into your own hands.
In a certain drama, it is not uncommon for one or two actors to work hard for their roles and roles. At most, everyone sighs with emotion about who in our family is really dedicated, and the media will help to increase this. Feeling so proud of his arrogance, the crew added fuel to the flames and made it a selling point of the scenes they filmed.
I have never seen everyone working so hard.
"Really or not, you said Liu Dehua is also in the sky?"
"My brother Xiaoyao has to go through this every day. Can his body handle it? This is so dangerous and we can no longer let him take risks."
"That's nonsense. If others don't tell me, how can Xiao Jing and Zhou Shuo film like this? Stop making trouble, it's absolutely impossible. This news must be false."
Most of them don't believe it, but some do. After all, this is Songjiang, the headquarters of the Anshun Group, and Wei Tao's home court. Some locals still have a high level of awareness of him.
"It may be true. Mr. Wei's reputation is there, and his movies are not false."
"Yes, it's very possible to be true. Didn't you see it? The big net in the sky protects you. As long as you overcome your psychological fear, there will be no danger. In fact, the effect of shooting is good, and you can use long lenses. It can also give us a straight face, and we don’t need to get a photo sticker for us.”
………………
Cai Nong and Nazha watched with their own eyes all the main actors 'passing through the sieve' one by one in the air. They watched Damimi, who did not have such a high intensity, follow them in the smoke and flames of war, bravely trying to break through the chaos. bombed area.
The fake ones are fake, but for the effect of cracking, the explosion points are arranged very densely. Most of the small gravels are fake props, with a certain hardness and not as strong as real gravels. But with the collapse, the real If it hits the body, it will still hurt a little. If it is a large and dense splash, you can imagine it.
The dinner was very sumptuous, but looking at the way the actors were eating, there was no one saying to raise a glass and drink some wine to connect with each other. It took more than forty minutes to finish the meal. The exquisiteness and taste of the dishes were not as good as the quantity and nutritional content.
The director and others continued to set up the scene, and there were normal discussion meetings in the evening.
The actors returned to training camp to continue evening training.
On a hot day, August is the hottest month of the year in the Northeast. Even when the sun sets, the surface temperature and the heat wave in the air make me sweat even if I stand for a few minutes, let alone training.
Wearing training uniforms and equipment of corresponding weight, the 'equipment' prepared for them is now in place. After putting on the equipment, they followed the soldiers of the women's special training camp and went five kilometers in the wild at night. The previous training intensity and weight-bearing intensity allow them to accept the current full-body equipment. Heat returns to heat, and they need to experience and accept such a temperature environment.
After all, when shooting, the temperature may be even higher than this.
Possible conditions such as dehydration, collapse, heat stroke, etc. must be experienced and adapted to in advance. In the words of Director Wu, this is to give you a head start, otherwise the shooting will be more difficult and uncomfortable.
Cai Nong and Nazha were a little confused all night. After training until nine o'clock, they finished, washed and rested. There were no extra activities. There was no meeting of any kind arranged in the evening. Liu Tianwang and others were as usual, wearing all the clothes. If you are tired, take a good bath and put on your own comfortable pajamas.
There is a single room, not big, simple, but very clean.
I have no intention of doing anything else. I can only make a few phone calls or lie in bed. If I want someone to get up and go to the computer to receive and receive emails, I will never waste my precious rest time to read emails unless necessary.
After ten minutes of making phone calls and sending messages, I felt sleepy and quickly rested.
At two o'clock in the morning, there was an emergency assembly whistle, and these few people were also awakened. They all got used to it, turned over, and continued to sleep.
Wu Jing and Jiang Xia got up. Like all female soldiers in training, they got up for training at this time.
Jiang Xia is adapting, while Wu Jing is trying to surpass, because he feels that he is a man, and the same amount of training cannot be justified. He has not noticed his age. In fact, he has already passed the peak of physical fitness. He doesn't care, he just wants to be tough. Come.
Broken legs, broken arms, it doesn’t matter. Since you have chosen to fight, you should do your best. After Wu Jing adapted, he secretly tied an extra kilogram of weight-bearing sandbags to his calves in the past two days. He prepared It should be gradually increased until it reaches the level of ordinary male special operations personnel.
Others should sleep. They are actors. They have gone beyond what they can bear. They have done everything an actor can do. They are not real special forces members, so they do not participate in many trainings. The crew Neither the special training camp nor the special training camp bothered them. They were able to achieve what they saw. When Director Wu Sen first joined the team, he was so satisfied that he didn’t know what to say.
The luxurious lineup of "Red Cliff" back then was comparable to the projects of Lao Mouzi Kaige and others. He had seen so many big stars, first-tier, second-tier, third-tier and even eighteenth-tier supporting actors. Some of them were self-disciplined and some were conscious. , I also thought about twisting it into a rope, but the effect...
Just don’t mention it.
The crew in front of him gave him a whole new feeling. It was a feeling of rapid secretion of adrenaline. He was full of energy and set goals for himself. With such a crew, I must succeed. This subject is not Unpopular should be popular.
The next day at nine o'clock in the morning, Cai Nong and Nazha got up and had breakfast. After getting ready, they took a car over. After arriving here, they saw everyone who was already soaked, and they believed what they said before. It really happened every morning. Start training at six o'clock, a five-kilometer run, have breakfast, rest for half an hour, and then train in the morning.
In their eyes, these people are no longer stars, but real warriors. They stand and sit equally well, and their aura no longer resembles that of a radiant star.
There was another hearty meal at noon, and even Da Mimi didn't control her food intake anymore. She clearly felt that she had gained a little strength during this period.
For female stars, the word strong is very scary.
Within the block, eight members of the Jiaolong Commando were holding weapons, spreading out and moving around freely, shooting at various walls and abandoned vehicles. None of them wore ear protection headphones. According to the crew's instructions, The requirements are to adapt to the sound and feeling of shooting, and not to have subconscious physiological reactions of shrinking the neck or dodging when shooting.
Once you are familiar with it, there will be no subconscious reaction in your body.
Damimi was also standing on the edge. She was also getting used to the sound, but she didn't need that long. The weather was too hot and there couldn't be any gaps in applying sunscreen.
You can make some sacrifices for filming, but for skin problems, you can rely on special effects makeup, so there is no need to harm yourself.
Cai Nong walked up to her and asked. It was a question full of questions. She had already forgotten about the crew spending money too quickly. This crew was much weirder than any movie crew she had ever seen.
"That Jiang Xia has grown stronger twice. Did you see that, she picked up twenty kilograms of equipment and ran away. This is nothing to me."
Cai Nong: "I look good in real life, but in the camera, my body looks wide."
Da Mimi nodded. The fact that a female star weighs no more than 100, or even the fact that a female artist is no more than 90 in height is an iron discipline. Otherwise, in the camera, it will look like one hundred or twenty pounds, especially if The face will be swollen than in reality.
"Ignore it for now. With this kind of training, my waist is straighter, my walking posture is better, and my muscle lines have improved. After the filming is finished, according to the professional coach, I can lose a little bit of weight. It depends on what I look like by then. Did you choose to lose weight with muscle or simply lose weight?”
"Is it difficult?"
"Well, simply losing weight will be more difficult than it is now. The difference is that you don't need to be exposed to the wind and sun. You need to make adjustments in the gym, yoga, and diet."
Cai Nong felt that his so-called industry veteran experience in the past was completely self-proclaimed. He never thought that one day he would be as ignorant as Grandma Liu when she entered the Grand View Garden.
