In the venue, Yi Feiyang asked people to lay the shooting track, set up a crane on the snow, and put two cameras up and down. One person shot the close shot, and the other shot the long shot.
After the track was laid and the actors were in position, Yi Feiyang ordered people to block the snow light in the snow to prevent it from reflecting on the lens.
After everything was done, the recorder told everyone in the audience through the loudspeaker that the ten-second countdown had begun.
"Ten, nine, eight,..."
There was silence on the field, and everyone raised their ears, waiting for Yi Feiyang to give the best order.
These guys, who are accustomed to making small-scale adult films, felt the urgency of making a movie for the first time.
Yes, this is filming!
This is a real filmmaker!
"Three, two, one, start filming!" Yi Feiyang shouted, and the camera lens immediately focused on the elk, while the staff behind the scenes used thick tree branches to sweep the snow away from the camera to drive the elk away.
, let it start running.
This pregnant elk was an "actor" that Yi Feiyang asked Rabbit Bill to borrow from a nearby zoo. Since he had stayed in the zoo for a long time, he was not afraid of humans at all. Looking at the staff rushing to clear away the snow, it
Move your calves gracefully and take a leisurely stroll on the snow...
Walking and walking, this elk occasionally ate a few mouthfuls of weeds exposed in the snow, and then glanced at the depressed staff at home with its beautiful eyes, as if to say, what are these idiots doing with tree branches?
I thought I would be scared!
Yi Feiyang touched his chin. He had never expected that this elk would be so disrespectful. He asked you to run. But you let me play romance in the snow. Okay, just wait for me!
"That so-and-so, you're in charge of blasting, right? Shoot that bitch!" Yi Feiyang pointed at the doe.
Demolitionist: "But... the elk is a protected animal. Besides, we borrowed it from the zoo!"
"Idiot! I didn't ask you to shoot it, I just scared it and made it raise its hooves!"
The demolitionist understood. Then he took out the starting gun used in sports and banged it, resounding through the snow.
The doe, which was originally reserved and noble, moving its legs to chew weeds, suddenly shook its body, and then started running wildly.
"Quick, quick, use the camera to capture its running speed! Note that the machine on the crane must be shot from a swooping angle..."
Yi Feiyang constantly adjusted the angle of the shooting location and the details that the camera needed to capture.
At this time, Yi Feiyang suddenly thought. It would be great if there was a helicopter, which could track and shoot from above. However, after thinking about it, this is just a low-cost pornographic film, and there is no need to turn it into a real Hollywood blockbuster... But
, I really want to try that shooting method in the future, take a helicopter and fly non-stop for nine days, it will definitely be very enjoyable to shoot!
The shot of the elk running was very good. At least when watching the replay, Yi Feiyang couldn't find anything to modify. Besides, Yi Feiyang was also a little worried about wanting the big-bellied doe to "run like crazy" again.
I couldn't bear it, so I changed my position and thought about it, and let myself run with the baby in my belly. I would probably die in less than two laps!
When the elk was running, the camera on the track focused entirely on Abraham. To be precise, the camera captured every move of his body, including his eyes, expressions, and even the subtle actions of pulling and releasing the trigger.
action...
Abraham is definitely the oldest "three good students". Yi Feiyang only taught him once and he mastered everything about the character he wanted to create.
Yes, he did a great job!
The calmness and coldness at the beginning of the hunt, the unbearability of discovering that the doe was pregnant after aiming at it, and the kindness of firing a blank shot at the end were all expressed in a very layered manner.
Abraham's outstanding performance made it possible for the original long prelude to be shot in only seven or eight minutes. All in all, the shooting went very smoothly.
Next, the residents of the small town where the film was filmed ran over and told him that his last son had also been killed in the European battlefield. George Sr., played by Abraham, was heartbroken.
This crying scene was also shot very well.
I don’t know whether Abraham has been oppressed for too long or has been tortured too hard by life. Yi Feiyang took the microphone and shouted. As soon as he started crying, his muddy tears spewed out of his eyes, like water from a faucet.
Same, along the old face like orange peel, there are two routes...
Such exquisite crying skills are amazing.
Even Yi Feiyang was shocked and even wondered if the old man had some kind of cheating trick?
Otherwise, how can you cry just because you want to?
Asked him why, he said that he thought of his beloved wife!
At that moment, Yi Feiyang suddenly thought that it might not necessarily be a bad thing if his wife died!
After filming Abraham's crying scene, Yi Feiyang quickly started filming the town residents' discussions about the war and various reactions to the battlefield. These extras without professional training actually performed the mentality of their respective characters vividly.
Therefore, Yi Feiyang was very satisfied. He basically passed it in one go. By the time all the shots were taken, it was not even 12 o'clock yet.
"Yi! I'm convinced by you! I've been in Hollywood for so long, and I've never seen a director who shoots movies so wonderfully and so quickly!" The bearded photographer who acted as the photographer gave Yi Feiyang a thumbs up.
After this scene, Yi Feiyang's calm on-the-spot command, scene planning ability, grasp of the camera and exploration of the actors completely conquered all the people in the top company and established the authority of the most director.
After hearing the bearded man's compliment, Yi Feiyang just smiled. This kind of filming speed is already very low-level for Hong Kong people.
You must know that the speed of filming in Hong Kong is absolutely rocket-like. Generally speaking, one month is considered a "long" time to shoot a film, and it can be completed in as little as seven or eight days.
For example, Wang Jing, the famous fast-shooter director in Hong Kong, only spent 13 days filming his most classic "God of Gamblers", just to grab Zhou Yunfa's schedule.
Maybe some people will say at this time that those are Hong Kong fast food movies and do not need to be carefully crafted. They are rough rush jobs. In fact, this is not the case. Although there is a saying that "slow work makes careful work". But for movies, it does not necessarily have to be shot.
Slow down, it will definitely be good...
Of course, freaks like Wong Jiawei should be eliminated first. For example, the classic Hong Kong comedy "East and West", which was praised by countless people in the future, only took 27 days to shoot.
Therefore, as a Hong Konger with first-rate filming speed, Yi Feiyang has mastered such things as filming speed.
"Bill, what shots are you going to take this afternoon?" Yi Feiyang was still not finished, so he turned to Rabbit Bill and asked.
Rabbit Bill, who acted as the producer, immediately flipped through the storyboard script in his hand and said with a smile: "We will shoot the scene where Stormi takes a bath in a nearby creek, and the scene where she silently bids farewell to her family at night and cries."
Yi Feiyang nodded and said to the reporter: "Announce the end of work. Call Boss Henry and ask him to prepare more food. We have to work overtime tonight!"
…
In the tent, Yi Feiyang took off his coat, lay down on a chair and closed his eyes to rest. Although it was not his first time as a director, it was his first time to shoot such a big scene.
You know, Yi Feiyang's "Ghost Story" has only a few actors, and you can count them on your fingers. The venue is only that big, an old building, that's all. It's not like today, not to mention the main ones
There are more than a dozen actors and actresses, and the total number of extras is almost a hundred.
This time, the investment exceeded 300,000 yuan. In the past, Yi Feiyang's movies were only invested 70,000 to 80,000 yuan at most. In the past, when shooting horror movies, the requirements for character portrayal were not too high. The main thing was to create the atmosphere of the movie. Now, when shooting **
The film was a tribute to excellent movies like "Lust, Caution". In comparison, Yi Feiyang felt "pressured".
Therefore, at this time, he was lying on the chair and seemed to be resting. In fact, as soon as he closed his eyes, a series of decomposition shots appeared in his mind.
"Director, can I come in?" A gentle voice floated in.
Yi Feiyang sat up from the chair and found Stormi standing in front of him.
"What happened?"
Stormi held the script and said cautiously: "It's like this. I'm a little worried about the afternoon and evening scenes."
Yi Feiyang picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, turned around and asked, "Why?"
"I think I might not be able to take good photos." Stormi looked worried.
Yi Feiyang pointed to the chair in front of him, asked her to sit down, and said with a smile: "Stormi, filming is actually very simple. The key is to be the substitute. When I call to start filming, just think of yourself as Rachel.
To be honest, the bathing scene in the afternoon is not very difficult, and the crying scene in the evening is your woman's strong point. I really don't understand, what do you have to worry about?"
"It's like this, director, the scenes I shot in the past were basically just about showing sexiness and charm, but this time the script requires me to cry when we say goodbye..."
"Yes, it is mainly to express the emotion that Rachel is about to leave this town and go to the battlefield in place of her father. She has a lot of concerns in her heart but cannot express it." Yi Feiyang explained.
"I know this too, but damn, I really can't cry!"
"Ah, what did you say? You won't cry?!" Yi Feiyang was stunned.
"Yes, I am a very strange person. Although I am a girl, I have a very strong personality. I have never cried much since I was a child... God, I have almost forgotten what tears feel like."
This time it was Yi Feiyang's turn to laugh and cry.
When he first fell in love with Rachel, it was because of the manly perseverance hidden in her eyes, but now this perseverance has become a stumbling block, and she can't even cry!
"Ahem, you can think about the dead kittens and puppies in your home..."
"Sorry, I never raise these things!"
"Huh?" Yi Feiyang's mouth opened wide, "What about your deceased relatives, right?"
"Almost all of them left with smiles on their faces, and we all laughed when the body was said goodbye to."
Yi Feiyang was completely speechless.
"You think hard, yes, there must be something that makes you very unhappy and heartbroken, and then you put it into it, and tears flow out... Look at old Abraham, he's crying
Just cry, cry till you die, how wonderful and dedicated you are!"
"Then what you're saying is...should I ask him for advice on the crying technique?"
"Well, your attitude of humbly asking for advice and learning is very good. Go ahead and I wish you success!"
Yi Feiyang kept cheering her up, and Little Hooves' complexion gradually improved. Then he stood up and left to go to Old Abraham for advice on crying techniques.
Yi Feiyang lay down again, and not long after, the phone next to him rang.
The call was from the fat man Gao Jiabao, saying that Lionsgate Pictures had sent a message that the box office revenue of "The Blair Witch Project" had been settled, and the big boss Gusta hoped that Yi Feiyang could attend the company's celebration banquet tomorrow night. Of course
It's also a Christmas dinner.
Yi Feiyang has a headache. The filming of his new drama has just started, and there is a plane like this over there. But if he doesn't go, he won't give the other party face... Of course, the most important thing is that Yi Feiyang is eager to get the share of the account.
Oh, I have been waiting for more than half a year.
Therefore, after thinking about it for a while, Yi Feiyang was absolutely sure to go tomorrow night!
Fatty Gao Jiabao was super happy when he received Yi Feiyang's reply!
Nonsense, as the financial controller of Fantasy Pictures, he dreams of sleeping with 24 million yuan in his pocket.
Money, money, you are more energetic than women!
This is the life motto of a fat man.
…
The shooting started in the afternoon. The scene was mainly about "Rachel", played by Stormi, taking a bath by the river. Suddenly she heard gunshots coming from the forest, and then she hurriedly got dressed. Finally, she learned that her father, George Sr., was there.
Hunting, and learned that the situation on the European battlefield was urgent and my father was drafted into the army again.
For a relatively sexy shot like this, the scene needs to be cleared when shooting, especially not having too many men around.
In this regard, Yi Feiyang was very familiar with the situation and directly arranged manpower to block the four sides of the venue, allowing only photographers and other technical staff to stay at the venue.
However, something went wrong during the actual filming, not because some men peeked in regardless of the rules, but because the water in the river was too cold and Stormi had no experience in winter swimming.
Being an actor is so hard. Not to mention bathing in the river in the middle of winter, most of the time you have to soak in the water seven or eight times, which can freeze you into an eggplant.
Yi Feiyang didn't want to be so cruel. Let alone a girl, even a man might not be able to take off his clothes and go into the water in such a cold weather.
However, according to the requirements of the script and the character setting, the girl "Rachel" is from Orion and has a strong body, not the kind of weak girl.
In order to cheer up Stormi, Yi Feiyang called Rabbit Bill and a few other men to take off his clothes and go down to test the water temperature.
Rabbit Bill was dumbfounded. Only now did he realize that his job as an assistant director was definitely a hard one. He originally thought that he could watch some sexy scenes near the water tower and see how beautiful beauties sacrifice themselves. Unexpectedly, Xiangyan didn't see that he had to sacrifice himself for everyone first!
