The crew of "Legend of Chu and Han" checked into the Marriott Hotel in large numbers. Of course, it was impossible for all the more than a thousand people to come to Hengdian. Gao Xixi divided the crew into three. He led the A team, and the two assistant directors led the BC team to shoot separately.
.
At the Marriott Hotel, Li He met Gao Xixi. Compared with the first time they met, Gao Xixi looked much more haggard.
"Director Gao, are you okay if you haven't had any rest recently?" Li He asked with concern.
Gao Xixi spread his hands and said: "There is no way. There are so many things to prepare for the project. As a director, I have to take care of it. I can't rest peacefully."
"I originally thought I was dedicated enough, but when I saw you, Director Gao, I realized that I was far behind." Li He said with admiration.
"No, I'm just doing my job." Gao Xixi smiled and said, "The actors are all here, let's go have a meeting together!"
"OK, let's go..."
In a conference room on the third floor of the Marriott Hotel, several celebrity actors who had already arrived were whispering to each other. When they saw Gao Xixi leading a young man in, they quickly stood up and said hello.
Gao Xixi motioned for everyone to sit down, and then introduced Li He: "This is Li He, the actor who plays Hu Hai."
Li He bowed and said: "Hello, teachers, my name is Li He and I play the role of Hu Hai in the play."
Although Li Hyuk is young, no one present looks down on him because of his age. To be able to play an important role in this big project is either his background or his strong ability. Those who can reach this position are all good people, and no one will be stupid enough to offend him for no reason.
other people.
So everyone greeted Li He with a smile, and then sat next to him after being greeted by Xu Guangwen, the actor who played Yuan Shao in "The New Three Kingdoms".
"We all know each other. Let's get familiar with each other as soon as possible. Hailin, I'll leave this to you." Gao Xixi said to Wang Hailin, who had long hair and was slightly fat.
Wang Hailin nodded and said: "Don't worry, leave it to me."
Gao Xixi turned around to do other things, leaving screenwriter Wang Hailin and the leading actors to read the script together.
Script reading is a process for actors to become familiar with the script. In the past, many production crews would hold this kind of activity to deepen the integration between actors and crew. At that time, there were many good actors and they were willing to cooperate with the crew.
But now that the entertainment industry is becoming more and more impetuous, there are very few crews that adhere to this tradition.
After reading the script for several days, Li Hyuk's first impression of the script was that it had a lot of flaws. He wanted to make suggestions several times, but the lead actor Chen Daoming and other actors had no objections. Li Hyuk thought about his own
I just couldn't bear it.
He's not just a fool who just jumped out to show off for no reason. That's called a fool.
Finally one day, Li Hyuk couldn't bear it anymore, so he went to screenwriter Wang Hailin in private and said cryptically: "Director Wang, I have a few questions to ask you."
Wang Hailin was about to go back to rest when he heard this and stopped: "You said..."
Li He considered his words and asked Wang Hailin: "I would like to ask, what is your usual writing experience like?"
Wang Hailin smiled and said: "What? Are you interested in script writing?"
"No, no, no, I'm just curious and asked." Li He waved his hand.
"Okay, I will tell you briefly, and let's go there and do it." Wang Hailin looked at Li He who was eager to learn, and immediately felt the urge to be a teacher.
The two sat down at the tea bar, ordered two cups of tea, and continued chatting.
"Generally speaking, any text creation is divided into three stages, the beginning, the middle and the end, which is commonly known as the three-act paradigm. It was first proposed by the ancient Greek playwright Aristotle..." Wang Hailinwei
Come on.
He spoke vividly and interestingly, and Li He listened with great interest. After briefly understanding the script creation, Li He judged that Wang Hailin was a very high-level screenwriter. Why would such a screenwriter write "Chu", which can only be said to be of average quality?
"Legend of Han Dynasty"!
When Li He raised this question in a vague way, Wang Hailin looked a little complicated.
"This matter is complicated to say. In fact, I created this script a long time ago. It was not called this script at the time, it was called "The Biography of Liu Bang." Wang Hailin said.
"Then what?" Li He asked curiously.
"Later, Director Gao wanted to film the Chu-Han theme. He bought a script himself, but Chen Daoming was dissatisfied after reading it, so he recommended my version to Director Gao, and the script was renamed "The Legend of Chu-Han."
"Then Director Gao didn't use your version?"
"used……"
"Uh..." Li He's tone paused: "What about that?"
"How come it's written like this?" Wang Hailin smiled helplessly: "Because Director Gao uses both versions together, whichever segment is longer will be used."
Li Hyukren is so stupid. He still does this kind of thing? The two scripts are written differently. In the first scene, this scene is shot, and in the latter scene, this scene is shot. Doesn't the plot become separated in this way?
Would a famous director like Director Gao also make this kind of mistake?
After listening to Wang Hailin's explanation, Li He felt like he had fallen into a trap. Unfortunately, he could no longer go back. Regardless of whether he wanted to or not, the crew of "Legend of Chu and Han" finally started shooting as scheduled in the cold spring of March.
This was the first time for Li Hyuk to experience the filming ceremony. When he joined "Palace" and "The Legend of Zhen Huan", they had already been filming for a long time.
It's very strange, but what makes Li He puzzled is why he has to worship God when turning on the phone, and he worships Guan Gong.
Guan Gong Li He knew that during the Three Kingdoms period, the Shu Han general was gradually deified, and worshiping Guan Gong was most popular on the southeast coast, especially among the black forces in Hong Kong.
Later, Hong Kong Island's black forces fully entered the Hong Kong Island film industry, and the ritual of worshiping Guan Gong became popular among Hong Kong Island crews. In recent years, as Hong Kong Island directors continue to go north, there has been cooperation between the mainland and Hong Kong Island, and worshiping God has begun.
Guan Gong also gradually became popular among mainland film crews.
After the opening ceremony, the crew just took a simple shot and announced that "The Legend of Chu and Han" has officially entered the filming stage.
The first day was easy. After work, everyone went straight to the hotel they had booked to hold a launch party. Because they had to get up early for work the next day, they stopped drinking. Everyone just ate food and chatted until very late.
go.
The crew arranged an assistant for Li Hyuk, but Li Hyuk refused, and his own small team was still in charge.
Back in the hotel room, Qian Duoduo had already listed Li Hyuk's filming plans for the next week.
"This is the result of the communication between the production team and the director team. Director Gao decided to give priority to filming your scenes." Qian Duoduo handed the production schedule to Li He.
Li Hyuk has seen it before and can roughly understand it. It says that he will have two dramas tomorrow and will be filming in Group A. It will take about an hour and a half, assuming everything goes well.
Each scene strictly stipulates the shooting time, shooting scale, and who will participate, etc. It can be said to be a very precise schedule.
However, artistic creation often does not require accuracy. Many times it requires the director and actors to perform on the spot. What is shot in a strict manner is called a running account, not artistic creation.
Therefore, filming is a rigorous and complex project, as well as a whimsical creative journey.
