Zhejiang Province, Zhoushan City, an island in the sea.
After the press conference ended yesterday, Zhang Jizhong and Yu Min rushed here with the actors. The actors who had no roles for the time being were either preparing at the hotel or going to the Yandang Mountain Scenic Area to familiarize themselves with the studio environment and wait for notification from the crew.
After a tiring journey and having to take a boat, the group set out in the morning and arrived at the studio in Zhoushan City at night.
"Sister Meng, you look so stylish in this outfit," Liu Yifei said with a smile.
In a temporary booth, the crew and actors were eating lunch boxes.
The scene props have been prepared in advance, and filming can begin after eating and taking a rest.
Although there are no scenes between Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei here, Liu Yifei came to study and Chu Xuan came to teach Yang Yang how to act.
Meng Guangmei, who was selected by Yu Min as the opening star, smiled in her eyes when she heard Liu Yifei's praise.
"I am Sha, not Sa." she said.
Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei, Zhang Jizhong, Yu Min and others slightly raised their lips.
They looked at Meng Guangmei and saw that [Li Mochou] dressed in black robe was indeed a bit evil.
"The scene in Lujiazhuang, the scene in which little Yang Guo appears to save people, the scene in which Huang Yaoshi appears, more than 20 scenes must be completed tonight. You have worked hard, and may have to shoot continuously. The shooting will be completed before dawn, and there will not be much time to rest." Yu Min will
Put the empty lunch box aside after eating and wipe your mouth with a tissue.
The actors nodded.
"Will I be beaten if I don't take good pictures?" Yang Yang, who lowered his head to eat, raised his eyebrows and muttered.
Hearing this, everyone burst into laughter, and Yang Yang's parents couldn't help but laugh.
Zhang Jizhong pointed at Chu Xuan and said to Yang Yang: "You are the little Yang Guo, and your brother Chu is the big Yang Guo. Your two acting skills must be of the same origin. Your brother Chu is very good at acting, so I asked him to teach you. If you act
No, I won’t hit you, I will hit him.”
Yang Yang grinned and raised his eyebrows at Chu Xuan.
Chu Xuan looked at each other amused and found it interesting. This little Yang Yang was a bit courageous and did not accept life. He looked delicate and shy, but secretly he was a little bit playful.
After the meal, everyone took a walk nearby to relieve their stomachs and talked about the upcoming shooting points.
At 9 o'clock in the evening, Meng Guangmei and the actors playing the roles of the Lu family were ready to start filming.
In the script, the first scene is the plot of "Li Mochou massacres the Lu family". The first character to appear is Li Mochou, and the fight scene in the first scene also focuses on Li Mochou.
It can be said that in the entire script, this scene is Li Mochou's most glorious moment.
In front of the viewfinder, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei sat behind Zhang Jizhong and Yu Min, slightly raising their heads and looking at the actors' performances captured by cameras from different angles on several screens in front of them.
Now that his status is different, Chu Xuan not only owns the script of Yang Guo's role, he also owns the entire script of "The Condor", and Liu Yifei often reads it.
As they followed the actors' interpretations, they also tried their best to picture the finished film in their minds to imagine the final shooting effect.
In a series of shots of this scene, Li Mochou appeared, waving his hand in the air, causing a lotus leaf in the lotus pond to leave the root and spin at high speed.
The high-speed rotating lotus leaf crossed a distance of 180 meters, flew into Lujiazhuang, and sealed the throats of several servants in the village with one leaf, killing them instantly. Blood splashed on the white wall, forming a dozen bloody palm prints.
A bit fantasy.
But the audience will definitely enjoy watching it.
Putting aside the shortcomings of Zhang Jizhong's TV series, the characteristics are obvious. Not only are the scenery stunning, but the special effects are also affordable.
"This martial arts action is so cool." Liu Yifei said softly.
Chu Xuan crossed his arms and nodded slightly.
In the footage, the actors who played the couple Lu Liding and Lu Erniang wielded their long swords and attacked Li Mochou, played by Meng Guangmei.
Every time the sword struck, whether it was Meng Guangmei's fingers gliding the sword to avoid the killing blow, or turning her steps slightly sideways so that the sword was only an inch away from her neck...
Director Zhao Jian's martial arts action design has made significant progress compared to "Dragon".
"Tianlong" is mostly about fighting with moves, such as the Six Meridians Divine Sword, the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, etc. It looks cool, but it lacks a sense of impact.
In "The Condor", director Zhao Jian designed many close-contact action moves, which are not only aesthetically pleasing, but also more exciting and enjoyable for the audience.
"Click!"
"pass!"
More than ten scenes were shot continuously. In the end, Li Mochou killed the Lujiazhuang family, but Lu Chengying and Lu Wushuang escaped. Li Mochou used Qinggong to step on the lotus leaves to chase them away, and the Lujiazhuang would burst into flames under the post-production special effects.
The trend of annihilation.
This is the end of the opening scene.
"Director Zhao, if you have the opportunity in the future, you can also design the action for the fairy tale drama of the Brilliant Era." Chu Xuan said with a smile.
Zhang Jizhong, Yu Min and Zhao Jian turned around.
"Spells like "Sword of Immortal" are flooded with waving hands, and there is no sense of beauty. I think fairy tale dramas can also use fists to touch the flesh, or swords and swords to offset each other. There is no need to rely entirely on special effects, and then the two actors fighting each other can be separated from each other.
He just made gestures all the way there, like a fool." Chu Xuan said.
Liu Yifei's eyebrows arched, feeling amused.
Zhang Jizhong and Yu Min were also happy to hear this.
"If you believe me, if there is a fairy tale drama in the Brilliant Era, then I can try to combine action and special effects to bring out the momentum it deserves." Zhao Jian became a little interested.
As an action director with a background as an action director, he is naturally interested in action design.
Wuxia and Xianxia are similar, except that the special effects of Xianxia are a bit exaggerated, and the special effects in mythology are even more exaggerated. How to combine martial arts with Xianxia and mythological movements and special effects to make them match the special effects momentum, action beauty, including the sense of impact, etc.
There is great interest in this.
""Fairy Sword" has become popular, and there will definitely be more fairy tale dramas on the market, and Brilliant Era will also participate. When the time comes, I will invite Director Zhao. Li Mochou's action design is really handsome." Chu Xuan said with a smile, and finally
He also gave a compliment.
Zhao Jian raised the corner of his mouth slightly and nodded.
"I'm going to the set to watch the action." He got up and walked towards the set.
Everyone looked away from him and looked at the screen again, preparing to watch the show.
It was already one or two o'clock in the morning, and at Yu Min's request, the filming at the Zhoushan City Studio needed to be completed before dawn.
Just like that, the actors began to transition, and after each made preparations, they started filming again.
A forest path, the dirt road is paved with some fallen leaves, but the color cannot be seen clearly in this early morning night.
There are dense forests on both sides of the trail. The dense forests are overgrown with weeds and the shrubs are messy and dense.
If you look out from the trail into the forest, you will see that it is completely dark under this night.
Li Mochou, played by Meng Guangmei, pursues two young actors, Lu Chengying and Lu Wushuang.
Due to the change in the role of little Yang Guo, the two actors Lu Chengying and Lu Wushuang are no longer the five or six-year-old little girls Zhang Jizhong had previously decided.
The current two young actors, Lu Chengying and Lu Wushuang, look to be about ten years old.
In the camera, Meng Guangmei caught Lu Chengying and Lu Wushuang one after another. Because the two girls had handkerchiefs given to Lu Zhanyuan by Li Mochou, Meng Guangmei let them go one after another. There was a hint of infatuation in her eyes, as if she was caught in memories.
Seeing this scene, Liu Yifei winked and her eyes moved left and right.
Chu Xuan glanced out of the corner of his eye and felt an inexplicable smile in his heart.
"What are you doing?" he asked.
"Sister Meng glanced to the left and put me in. I could feel what she was remembering. It's so cool. I want to learn from it." Liu Yifei smoothed her hair.
"The eye scene must be combined with facial micro-expressions to show a fuller emotion. Look at Sister Meng's tightly closed mouth just now, and her eyes suddenly opened slightly when combined with her memories. This small detail is very touching and can represent her inner emotions.
Yes, you just didn't notice, come on." Chu Xuan encouraged him.
Hearing this, Liu Yifei recalled something like this. She raised her eyebrows at Chu Xuan, then looked at the screen seriously and continued to watch the show.
Li Mochou loved Lu Zhanyuan deeply, but was betrayed by Lu Zhanyuan. This was the reason why Li Mochou killed the entire Lu family. This was also the main reason why Li Mochou became completely demonized.
Fate is also love, hate is also love, and killing is also love.
So, never play with a woman, or she will become stronger and kill you in the future.
"Lu Zhanyuan, you want to save two people with just one brocade handkerchief? You are too greedy, I won't spare anyone!"
Meng Guangmei glanced at the two girls who were escaping in front of them and were about to be hidden in the darkness. The corner of her mouth curled up with a hint of amusement.
Immediately, Meng Guangmei, under the influence of wirea, flew into the air and chased away.
And all of this was seen by Yang Yang, who was hiding behind a tree.
When he saw Meng Meiguang soaring into the sky, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and widen his eyes. He was slightly surprised, but not afraid, looking mischievous and clever.
But when he saw the two actresses were frightened and stopped, Yang Yang jumped out from behind the tree, took the hands of the two little girls and ran away.
"Waiting to die? Come with me." Yang Yang looked a little anxious.
In the play, Guo Jing is nearby, so little Yang Guo is not too afraid.
"It's very effective. Just teach him a few times and he'll be good at it." Zhang Jizhong praised Yang Yang, who had never acted before.
"It's just a simple scene, it's not difficult." Chu Xuan shook his head.
Xiao Yang Guo's appearance was really simple. He just showed up and led Lu Chengying and Lu Wushuang around for a few times before disappearing.
Next up is the martial arts rivalry between Meng Guangmei's Li Mochou and Yu Chenghui's Huang Yaoshi.
When Huang Yaoshi drove away Li Mochou, Guo Jing's voice calling for little Yang Guo came from the forest: "Guo'er!"
Yang Yang looked in the direction of the sound, waved towards the forest and said, "Uncle Guo, I'm here!"
Hearing this, Huang Yaoshi glanced disdainfully at the forest and said, "He's here too. I'm too lazy to see him."
"Click!"
"pass!"
"knock off!"
…
Guo Jing brought Xiao Yang here to the vicinity of Lujiazhuang in order to take Yang Guo to the Quanzhen Sect to learn martial arts from his master.
Little Yang Guo happened to encounter Lu Chengying and Lu Wushuang who were being hunted. After helping them, he was rescued by Huang Yaoshi.
In this way, the opening plot in the script ends.
Zhang Jizhong and Yu Min led people to change scenes and returned to the Yandang Mountain studio to start filming the main plot.
——Early morning on the third day.
Immediately following the scene shot at Zhoushan Studio last night, Guo Jing took little Yang Guo to go to the Quanzhen Sect.
Guo Jing is played by teacher Wang Luoyong, who is a very good actor.
"Actors get ready!" a staff member said.
Under a tree, Chu Xuan patted Yang Yang on the shoulder and said: "Remember what I told you, don't make any exaggerated movements or expressions, use the small expressions, small eyes and idle movements I taught you to make your child happy."
Yang Guo's disdain and disdain are enough."
"It's just love!" Yang Yang thought for a while and said.
"Yes, that's a good summary. Little Yang Guo just loves to do whatever he wants, he's not afraid of anyone, and he's very witty, but I need you to show this in a way where stillness is greater than movement." Chu Xuan's eyes were filled with smiles.
"I understand, Brother Chu, you have told me many times, Brother Chu, just follow me." Yang Yang ran into the set.
Liu Yifei stood beside Chu Xuan and smiled: "If you let Yang Yang act like this, will you be able to act comfortably when you take over the plot?"
Chu Xuan raised his lips slightly and said: "Absolutely. What Yang Guo's initial acting method is will be determined by Xiao Yang Guo's acting method. Then of course I have to follow my own ideas and act however I feel comfortable."
Liu Yifei smiled slightly and glanced at Chu Xuan.
Chu Xuan looked at Liu Yifei and smiled: "Brother Zhang originally wanted to choose the child star Xiao Dingdang to play Xiao Yang Guo. We have also seen it. According to the way this child acted in his previous works, it would be very exaggerated. You think I am the only one?
If you think about someone who is in his twenties, his exaggerated expressions and exaggerated movements, he will be very greasy and a bit mean. If I were Xiao Longnu, I would slap Yang Guo to death."
Hearing this, Liu Yifei covered her mouth and smiled, her eyebrows arched.
The interview session between the protagonist and the heroine in the previous chapter has been changed. If you are interested, you can review it. It’s okay if you don’t, it won’t affect the plot.
