"A lot of details?" Liao Xibing was indeed a little surprised.
You know, in many movies, especially movies with a sense of time, the backgrounds are sometimes really difficult to figure out.
Because if you want to do the details well, you have to spend money and effort.
And it still requires a lot of manpower and material resources.
For example, cigarettes, lighters, etc., etc., these all need to be customized. The key is, the customization price of such props is very expensive.
But actually?
In movies, these things may sometimes not even be shot, so many crews mostly save what they can.
Li Yi did not save money in this area. He did not lack this. Moreover, he always felt that since he wanted to film and do something, he should do it all.
In a good movie, details are crucial.
At the same time, when filming, you really shouldn’t underestimate these things.
Back to business.
Cao Bin said with a look of amazement: "Many, many. You can also see the child holding small pets, rabbits, and a sheep led by farmers who came to the city. The sheep is also alive, including a baby inside. The Banner Man, from my own observation, I think he is a Banner Man. He is holding a birdcage in his hand, and the bird inside is real. And the birdcage is also a unique style of that era.
What amazes me the most is how detailed he can make a large panorama. You know that coffee shop on the street, right?
In fact, the coffee shop has not left the country, but the menu inside has recipes from that era, including all kinds of coffee.
We can even go in and order and drink coffee like a real store.
For a modern person like me, and an actor who joined the cast halfway, this was a very big stimulus, and it immediately made me believe in that era. First of all, after you believe that you are a person of that era, the rest will happen naturally. "
"You haven't seen the show on the North Shore?" Liao Xibing asked again.
Cao Bin nodded: "Yes. Many times when I watch Bei'an, I don't imagine how they fought in my mind. Didn't I finish filming before? The assistant director will show us the previous materials, how to fight, this fight, that fight. , including jumping into warehouses and releasing poison gas, they all showed us the materials."
"I heard that many people were injured during the filming process. Is this the case?"
Cao Bin nodded: "I don't know much about others. I heard that many actors inevitably bumped into each other when filming war scenes, but no one said much.
For myself, in the bridge running scene, I fell seven times on the first day and eight times on the second day, and all the scabs were broken! "
"How many times did you perform that scene? How did you pass it?"
"I remember performing for two days. The first day was rehearsal. The rehearsal was quite funny. I didn't know it was rehearsal. On the first day, I was told to run. I was fully armed, including mentally, and I drank two cans of wine. Energy drinks went away.
After falling, crawling, and rolling for seven times, I finally heard the intercom saying OK, and I felt in my heart that I was finally done.
The director and others came over. They had to cross the bridge to leave the park. When they passed the bridge, he saw me sitting on the ground. I forgot what I wanted to say. I just wanted to say my feelings, how difficult it was, and so on. The director said to me that my performance was pretty good today, so I should try my best tomorrow.
When I heard this, my head was pounding. My hands and other things were all broken at that time. When I went back to take a shower, I looked at my scars and thought about what to do tomorrow, because they were all scabbed. "
"Oh? How was it done? Did you rely on makeup?" Liao Xibing asked curiously.
In fact, some things from the crew are quite new, at least to many netizens.
Even Liao Xibing was particularly curious. What should I do if the wound is scabbed?
"The next day I drank many bottles of energy drinks, and then went for a run. I ran 8 miles, but all the scabs were broken, all the old injuries were scratched, and a lot of new injuries appeared. On the contrary, I saved a lot of time. make up.
Among them, the first 6 items were because my face was too clean. I asked the makeup teacher if he could make my face a bit dirty, but the makeup teacher was also responsible for the work and said that my face was quite clean before, so why did it become dirty when I ran on the bridge? Suddenly I thought it was right. "
"Then how did you do it?" Liao Xibing asked.
"Then what should I do? I can only rub my face on the ground. I just thought about it and said let's do it. I just risked it. I really did. Don't actors just rely on their faces to make a living?"
"Your explanation of relying on your face to make a living is quite new."
"No, haha, didn't I fall to the ground in the 7th article? When I was crawling forward, I rubbed my face on the ground, which made me scratch my face. Of course, it was quite painful.
After the filming, I heard the intercom saying this is good, this is good, and this face is good, and the director said that this face is finally dirty.
I had a feeling at the time that there seemed to be an inexplicable communication and tacit understanding with the director. Because I was also wondering if my face was too clean, and I couldn’t pass it after taking 6 photos. He didn’t say anything and just let me think about it. In the end, when my face was dirty, he thought it was really good, so I passed it. You also know that usually after filming is finished, the director will make one more reservation, and basically it’s all over again.
I was very excited after filming. After I finished filming the bridge run, I felt relieved because I knew that was the most important scene.
I was lying in a pool of artificial blood, and after it rained, wasn’t there a small ditch on the ground? I looked at the small ditch reflecting the four-row warehouse and the sky like a mirror.
I was lying there, I had to die, and I couldn’t move even after I died. I couldn’t move even if there was no call from the other side, so I looked at the small ditch with empty eyes. It faced the Four Lines Warehouse and the sky. , at that moment, I felt that I was worthy of the strong man Daozi and worthy of my role. This is how I felt. "
"From a gangster to a strong man, how do you think you changed?"
"It should be a scene with Sister Rong. At one point, I paid homage to the portrait of an officer. That portrait was actually Sister Rong's son. He was also a soldier and died in battle.
The image of a soldier like her son is very respected in Daozi's heart. With this foreshadowing, Daozi will be infected by the eight hundred heroes on the opposite side and will be willing to sacrifice his own life. I think this is a particularly good foreshadowing.
The portrait standing there also illustrates the relationship between me and Sister Rong. Sister Rong ran a casino, and I was her younger brother who helped her manage the casino. After I went to die, there was a scene where Sister Rong turned over and looked very sad, sad, and regretful. I think that scene also revealed a message, that is, Sister Rong thought the knife was her son.
What really made me want to fight them was when they actually sailed to prepare to land on the leased land and bullied me right to the doorstep! You have to fight to death! Having said that, the defenders on the north bank are smart, Daozi admires them! Sister Rong’s son is a soldier, and he admires the knife!
In fact, as the name suggests, the character of the knife has two sides, good and bad. It can be used to peel fruits, or it can be used to kill people to pay for their lives. In his world, there is no concept of country, only the belief of the big brother and the thoughts of the small family. It can be said that he is a knife in the Chamber of Commerce. He may have stabbed countless good people, but in the end he was a heinous desperado..."
