Chapter 67: The End of the Play
"Click!"
"Click~~!"
"You guys take a break, let's have lunch first and talk!" Zhong Ji's only drama, the general's mansion, stumped everyone. It wasn't that her acting was too bad, it was just that her acting was not very good, and Xie Changhua was also very good at it.
The plot is a bit unsatisfactory.
The crew found a place on the set, distributed lunch boxes, and squatted together in twos and threes, chewing fast food and chatting. Xie Changhua was also surrounded by several leading actors.
"Hey, Ah Hua, can you give me some advice? If you don't like me, how can we change it?" Ah Fa asked, swallowing a rice ball.
"It's not all your fault. I feel like this scene should use as few words as possible and use actions to express it to be more impactful. I plan to make your character more humane. Only with good and bad qualities can you be considered a human being." Xie Changhua thought about it.
Want to say.
"So when Piaoxue came back from the Central Plains, he overheard his father's plan to sacrifice the whole family so that his son could master the sword. After watching the whole process, his father actively sought death at the hands of a sword and his brother struggled to deceive him.
The scene where he chooses to come to the general's mansion, request that he be wanted, disguise his identity, and help his brother make a choice should be filmed like this."
"You made her kneel outside the door from day to night. After several days of kneeling, you still chose not to see her. You took the initiative to send your men to assassinate her and showed your support with actions. So you must have compassion and indifference.
, you have your own pride in doing things, and you also need to have final fulfillment. You should think carefully about how to show this struggle, and Uncle Feng, you should also think about how to show the cruelty of this system."
He glanced at Zhong Chuhong: "As for you, there is nothing we can do. We have to take turns to help you. You first practice kneeling and experience the feeling of numbness. Then we will help you find the sad feeling and let you brew it."
She nodded to show that she knew.
After several nights of hard work, the three of them took turns helping her find her feelings and giving advice, and finally finished filming all the scenes without Kurata. Xie Changhua felt that except for Uncle Feng, the acting skills of the others had improved tremendously.
On August 5th, Kurata finally rushed over with some of Cheng Xiaodong's men, and many reporters came. Because the reputation of the father of new martial arts in Hong Kong had spread, they all came to interview him.
On the set, Xie Changhua complained: "You guys are several days late than I expected!"
"There's nothing we can do about it. It's a typhoon. Planes can't fly. I changed the weather as soon as the rain lightened up today. How's the shooting going?"
"There is only Kurata's part. You can shoot the scene where Kurata kills people in the blood pool in the next few days. Then I will find the special effects team to shoot the scene of taking out the magic weapon in the blood pool under their guidance. Four
If the weather is not enough, the scenes with Ah Fa will also be filmed and let him go back first."
Cheng Xiaodong immediately responded: "No problem, Mr. Kurata has opened a gym here, and the supporting cast has been arranged. I don't need to lead the crew anymore, which will save you money."
Kurata also laughed. In the era when Hong Kong movies were developed, many of RB's action directors came to Hong Kong through Yasuaki Kurata's Taoist temple.
"That's the best. By the way, Xiaodong, you came just in time, because there is a bathing scene. You know that fasting and bathing is a very solemn thing in China when making important decisions, so I need you to teach Miss Zhong these days.
Some Peking Opera gestures and chic ways of dressing. Also, Mr. Kurata, do you know an actress with a similar figure to Miss Zhong? I need a stand-in."
"No problem, Mr. Xie, I will make arrangements!"
Xie Changhua reminded: "You know what I said, right?"
"I know, I will make it clear to her and there will be no problem."
While Cheng Xiaodong was taking Kurata to film, Xie Changhua took reporters around the studio and took a few photos. After doing a few interviews, he found someone to take them with him. He and a few people started filming her scenes with her stunt double.
, I saw the stand-in carefully arranged the hairpin and put it aside, with his clothes lightly falling, he walked slowly into the hot spring, slowly stepped into it and scrubbed his body step by step, heated by dry ice, and the heat gradually increased. Xie Changhua planned this scene.
Using slow motion and ghost processing technology, we first shot the moon above our head, and then the ghost gradually turned into a bathing scene, interspersed with some emotional interaction scenes with Zhuge Liuyun, just like the bed scene processing effect in A Chinese Ghost Story.
.
"Translation, tell her to print a chrysanthemum on her right shoulder. When she rubs it here, she should make a recalling movement. Remember not to rub it off. Finally, she should make a movement of leaning on the edge."
"Hi!" The translator immediately went over to discuss it.
After walking a few times, Xie Changhua asked: "Have you learned her moves?"
"Almost." She said with a blush.
Xie Changhua encouraged: "Okay, you go and walk a few times, don't be shy. If you are not shy when filming this kind of scene, I am shy, and I can't photograph your body. I am a professional. You can do it a few times with your clothes on first."
, and then we get down to the actual recordkeeping and start clearing the place, it’s enough for the man to leave me alone, and the woman to leave the props team.”
"I know, Xie Sheng!"
In fact, filming the bathing scene was not fun at all. It involved cleaning up the scene, heating water and adding dry ice, and coordinating the location.
After trying it for more than a dozen times, she finally got the slightest bit into the play. Xie Changhua took advantage of it while instructing her on how to perform more beautifully, as if she was working hard for art. The last close-up of her expression was still paused for a long time while talking.
After talking for a long time, I finally found some feeling.
After spending three days filming this scene, Xie Changhua always felt that in the subsequent scenes, she would look towards him intentionally or unintentionally.
Four days later, in the last scene of the scene, the father was lying under his son's knife, staring at him fiercely, panting softly and constantly talking about how to master the sword, holding his arm tightly, tightening and loosening, and listening.
After receiving his reply and finally dying and falling down laughing wildly, the play was almost completed. Of course, the last scene of death in the snow scene was not finished yet and was not planned to be filmed now.
"Cut, the filming is over. Let's get together at a restaurant and have fun. I'm treating you today." Xie Changhua shouted.
"Great, I can finally relax. I want to go shopping today!"
"Let's go together, otherwise it would be a waste to come out!"
The crew cheered and quickly packed up the equipment.
Xie Changhua pulled Cheng Xiaodong aside and said: "Xiaodong, take them back first. Mr. Kurata and I will stay here for two more days. You have also seen Miss Zhong's acting skills. I have almost trained them. Those who can film will go first."
If she can't do it, I'll bully her to do it as planned, and give 3,000 Rise to Uncle Feng. At his age, it's not easy for him to stay up late to direct my acting skills, so as not to spread the word that I'm stingy."
"I understand, Mr. Xie, but I see that you have not only mastered your acting skills, but also your life. You are really efficient, and you haven't left anything behind!" He smiled, mouth twitching, and looked away.
Miss Zhong.
"Hey~, don't talk nonsense, we are still innocent until now!"
