"Yes, this expression is great!" Assistant Director Cindy exclaimed through the camera.
"Bigger the blower, yes, that's good. Try to make his shirt float as much as possible!"
"Hmph, you don't overestimate your capabilities, let's see how I take you!" Nezha, played by Bao'er, stepped on the hot wheel and shot Yi Feiyang on the top of the mountain.
Bang!
The Monkey King played by Yi Feiyang easily deflected the shot.
"How dare you boast about this ability? Let's see how I can smash your ass! Haha!" The Monkey King played by Yi Feiyang laughed wildly!
The expression is flamboyant and the shirt is flying.
Yi Feiyang's performance at this moment was captivating, and he almost portrayed the arrogance and violence of the "Monkey King" and Tian Dou and Shen Dou very profoundly.
"Wow, Yi's performance is really great, he is at the level of a first-class actor!" his eldest brother Cheng Long, who was watching the camera next to him, praised.
"Yes, the expression is spot on and the acting is very realistic!" Cindy said.
"I've said it before, the boss is not only good at directing, but he's also great at acting!" Fat Jack said flatteringly.
…
The lens is still rustling.
The camera zoomed in on Yi Feiyang and gave him a close-up.
Baoer read the lines: "You dare to be a monkey, you are just a monster on the ground, what qualifications do you have to call yourself the Monkey King?!"
The camera was focused on Yi Feiyang again.
Yi Feiyang raised his arms, punched the golden hoop on the ground, and said loudly: "As the saying goes, emperors take turns, come to my house next year! What's wrong with me calling myself the Monkey King?! You
If this little kid with a yellow mouth dares to be nagging again, I won’t be polite!"
Baoer: "What do you want?"
Yi Feiyang: "If you keep nagging me, I will kill gods when I meet them, and I will kill Buddha when I meet Buddhas!"
…
"OK! These shots are very good. Pause for a moment, then we will start filming the fight scene!" Assistant Director Cindy ordered.
Everyone started to commotion again.
The prop master was busy rearranging the props, and the person in charge of explosions buried smoke bombs and some small explosives according to the location index of the shooting.
Taking advantage of this time, Yi Feiyang asked for a bottle of mineral water from the person on the side, drank more than half of it in one gulp, and then wiped his mouth. At this time, Bruce, a makeup artist, stepped forward and took the initiative to touch up his lips and apply
I put on a dark purple color and applied foundation on my cheeks.
While touching up his makeup, Bruce couldn't help but ask: "How's it going, boss, how did it feel to film this scene?"
Yi Feiyang smiled and said: "Everything is fine, but the blower makes my eyes hurt and I always want to cry."
"Haha, boss, I can't help you with this... You know, you're not alone. The most annoying thing for many people when filming is the blower. They look handsome in the camera, but they suffer when they are acting!" Bruce smiled.
, went down.
…
As assistant directors, Cindy and Fat Jack re-arranged the camera shooting. After about five or six minutes, they picked up the loudspeaker and shouted: "Attention, everyone, the shooting is about to start!"
There was another commotion, and the cast and crew who were still in the middle of the set retreated to the side, leaving only Yi Feiyang standing on the top of the mountain set up in the venue wearing the golden armor of the Monkey King and looking like a warrior.
If I had to use any word to describe him, it would be majestic!
Directly opposite Yi Feiyang, Baoer, who was also dressed in combat attire, did not show any weakness. Under the strong wind of the blower, he looked heroic. The two of them faced off like this, and the whole atmosphere was created very well.
As soon as the filming started and continued, the scene recorder came out with a slap in the face, holding the clapper and said: "The sixty-fifth scene of "Havoc in Heaven", the seventh scene!"
"Ike God!" The shooting begins.
There is basically no dialogue in this group of shots. They are all action scenes. They require Yi Feiyang and Baoer to move around in mid-air, do somersaults, etc. Of course, these are relatively basic, and there are also more difficult ones, such as showing off the power.
Sub-rotation, rollover, etc.
It's okay for Yi Feiyang to do this, but Bao'er is in trouble.
Before, the eldest brother Cheng Long, who acted as a martial arts instructor, had told Bao'er the secret to doing this series of moves, but he was still worried that Bao'er wouldn't be able to do it. After all, this set of moves required very agile skills. Cheng Long had already made up his mind.
If Bao'er couldn't do it well, he would discuss it with Yi Feiyang and simplify the set of moves to accommodate the little girl, so that he could complete it smoothly. But what surprised Cheng Long was that this set of moves unfolded when Bao'er performed it.
Come on, it's all done in one go.
No way, hehe, this girl is quite athletic!
In the camera, Yi Feiyang and Baoer are gliding through the real and fake "mountains" with wires hanging on them, just like the "Superman" in the Hollywood blockbuster. Wherever they fly, bang bang bang
, a series of smoke bombs exploded, and "gravel" flew everywhere. The whole scene was very scary.
In the last scene, the third prince Nezha was defeated by the Monkey King. The Monkey King struck down with his golden cudgel and collapsed the entire mountain where Nezha was standing.
There was a loud bang, the gravel rolled, and the sky collapsed!
Of course, the collapsed mountain peak was naturally a temporary rockery. The moment Yi Feiyang raised the golden hoop, the camera switched to the rockery, and the placed explosives detonated, blowing it into pieces!!
Inside the filming set of "Havoc in Heaven".
As soon as the shot of the rockery exploding was finished, assistant director Cindy immediately shouted, "It's stuck!" and the camera stopped.
Phew! Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
This series of explosions made everyone's ears almost deafen. As the protagonists of this scene, Yi Feiyang and Bao'er were closest to these explosion points, especially Yi Feiyang, because they had to face the rockery head-on, which made their ears buzz.
There was a loud noise, and some gravel splashed onto my body, which was extremely painful.
"How's it going, A Yang, are you okay?" Brother Cheng Long stepped forward to help him remove the wire from his waist.
"It's okay, it's just that my ears are still buzzing!"
"Haha, this is a common problem when filming martial arts scenes. Next time you film this scene, put cotton in your ears in advance. That will be better!"
"I'm dizzy, Brother Cheng Long, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"You didn't even ask me!"
"This...??!!" Yi Feiyang was speechless.
…
It was getting dark.
It is announced that the filming has come to an end. Everyone can take a rest first. We are so tired, and everyone can't help but complain.
Fortunately, the villagers who came to buy and sell goods appeared in time. Beer, bread, and cheap soda became everyone's luxuries.
As I said before, filming here is very difficult. Yi Feiyang prepared a lot of food and drinks, but there were too many people, and they were all used up in just a few days. Finally, he asked the old village chief for help. After receiving the news, he organized the villagers
A material transportation team was formed to carry all the food and drink from the mountain to the mountain. Beer, drinks, ham, and even Erguotou were all available. Not to mention, it really brought benefits to everyone, at least they could drink refreshing beer.
The crew members felt comfortable, and the villagers also made a lot of profits. The beer that originally cost only a few yuan could be sold for more than ten yuan when carried up the mountain. This was a huge profit for them, not to mention the amount of money each person carried.
Almost all the things that were lost were bought. Even the rolls for wiping buttocks became rare items. So in the past few days, more villagers joined in and took the initiative to become porters, moving the goods down the mountain.
Sell them on your back into the mountains.
Seeing that these people were busy and busy. The crew members were also fighting with them. Yi Feiyang couldn't help but secretly feel happy. As an outsider, being able to film here so smoothly is a miracle in itself. I hope this miracle can continue. Let yourself star.
This drama shocked the world, no, to be precise, this big-budget Chinese-language movie shocked the world!
…
Seeing that the final scene of Huaguoshan is about to end, the entire "Havoc in Heaven" crew has been working extremely hard for so many days.
Especially nesting in such deep mountains and old forests, but having to work up the energy to shoot action scenes is a cruel attempt for many people. Those local supporting actors are better off. After all, they are all low-level actors and are used to hardship.
But the guidance team from Hong Kong and the Hollywood team brought by Yi Feiyang from the United States were miserable. None of us had ever suffered like this.
Like assistant director Cindy and Fat Jack, although they have followed Yi Feiyang all over the world for so many years, they have never been as tired and miserable as they are now. Tiring work during the day, mosquito bites at night, and the most uncomfortable food and drink are not nutritious enough.
, the basic quality of life has dropped significantly. Living like this, they can’t tell whether they are making a movie or going on an adventure?!
Many people will ask themselves at this time, why do you do this? Why do you follow Yi Feiyang here wholeheartedly to film?
Is it for money?
no!
Is it for fun?
Neither!
But for a kind of glory, a kind of trust, and a kind of blind worship! Worship of Yi Feiyang! Worship of this rising movie giant!!!
…
Huaguo Mountain, final scene, last day of filming.
As soon as seven o'clock this morning, the mountain forest where the crew was located began to become quiet. Normally, this time would be the busiest time here, but today, the originally noisy set became silent.
Yi Feiyang dressed up as the Monkey King and was receiving the last special effects makeup from Magic Hand Bruce. Around him, everyone was busy. They were building various sets, the actors were putting on makeup, and the lighting engineer was adjusting the lighting over and over again.
Cindy, the assistant director, and brother Cheng Long, the martial arts instructor, are holding the camera to deduce the next shot.
As for Fat Jack, he has already taken a plane to Suzhou Gardens to shoot some of the exterior scenes of this drama. It is hoped that after the filming of Huaguoshan is completed, the two groups will officially meet up and complete all filming, and then wait for post-production and editing.
In fact, the one who is as nervous as Yi Feiyang at this moment is Keanu Reeves. In this drama, he plays Erlang Shen, the last opponent of the Monkey King. As a foreign actor, he will interpret this Chinese mythological character.
As the traditional god of war in heaven, it can be said that Reeves is very stressed.
Reeves has always liked to thoroughly study the background of his characters when acting, and this time is no exception. In order to play Erlang Shen well, Reeves spent a lot of time studying this Chinese mythical character.
After research, Reeves became even more interested in Erlang Shen, especially because Erlang Shen was the product of his mother's affair with a mortal. Legend has it that his mother was the sister of the Jade Emperor, who secretly descended to earth because she envied the loving life in the world.
He met and married a scholar named Yang, and finally gave birth to a son, Erlang Shen.
Immediately afterwards, Reeves learned about the character of Erlang Shen. He did not have a very good relationship with the Jade Emperor, the big boss in heaven. He did not accept weakness or flattery. The most important thing was that he "listened to the propaganda but not the tune." In American terms, that is
A person hanging in the White House. He has a position but does not obey the president's orders and acts freely.
In short, Reeves' understanding of the character Erlangshen is that he is arrogant, very arrogant!
At this moment, all kinds of work are ready.
There were eight to nine hundred actors dressed as monkey soldiers from Huaguo Mountain and heavenly soldiers and generals. Everyone was in full formation.
"Director, there's no problem with the lighting!"
"The actors are in place!"
"Cameras in place!"
Everyone looked at Yi Feiyang with firm eyes.
There was an atmosphere of excitement and excitement in the crew. Yi Feiyang felt the same as them. After such a long period of hard work and countless days and nights of hard work, the film finally made its debut today.
It's about to be finalized.
Yi Feiyang, dressed as the Monkey King, stood up and smiled at everyone: "Everyone, this is the last day of filming. Everyone, shoot well. After the filming is completed, I will treat everyone to a drink!"
"good!"
"Nothing to say!"
A group of people were very excited and cheered.
"Start shooting!" Yi Feiyang picked up the guide tube and shouted loudly. The whole audience quickly got into the mood. At the same time, the two cameras of Fatty and Cindy started to rotate.
Medium shot.
White cloud rolling---The blower blows dry ice. Make a white cloud rolling costume.
The "Er Lang Shen" played by Keanu Reeves holds a three-pointed two-edged halberd and stands majestically in the "clouds".
The Monkey King facing him stood on the Flower and Fruit Mountain holding a golden hoop.
"Bold Monkey, I am the Heavenly War General Erlang Zhenjun. If you are interested, I will capture you quickly. If not, I will capture you and bring you to the Heavenly Court for questioning!" This paragraph of text is very difficult to pronounce, especially for Keanu Reeves.
It’s even bigger, but as an actor, the challenge is very difficult. I’ve recited it hundreds of times, and now it’s catchy.
"Hey, it doesn't matter whether you are the Erlang Zhenjun or the Sanlang, Silang and Wulang Zhenjun! I am the Monkey King, the Monkey King. If you want to capture me, you must first ask about the golden cudgel in my hand!"
"What a monkey, I think you won't shed tears until you see the coffin!"
"Why are you talking so much? You'd better take my stick first!" The Monkey King raised his golden cudgel and hit Erlang Shen.
"Well done!" Erlang Shen shouted, wielding his three-pointed two-edged halberd and shot the Monkey King's golden cudgel!
Long shot:
The Monkey King and Erlang Shen were fighting together, with explosions, fireworks, and rocks flying everywhere. The two of them fought fiercely in the sky and on the ground.
Close-up:
Erlang Shen swept past with his halberd, and the Monkey King turned over and dodged in the air.
The person in charge of Via yanked hard, and the Monkey King in the camera rotated 360 degrees in the air, then put his head down and hit Erlang Shen with a stick.
For this fight scene, the eldest brother Cheng Long, who is a martial arts instructor, borrowed action scenes from Peking Opera and then integrated them with actions from Hong Kong martial arts movies to form a very exaggerated but beautiful action scene.
In the camera, the Monkey King transformed into a fish and escaped the pursuit of the divine dog. Erlang Shen, played by Keanu Reeves, cast a spell and turned into an osprey to catch the Monkey King; the Monkey King turned into a sparrow and flew into the sky, while Erlang Shen
Turning into eagles to catch sparrows... In this way, the two of them changed and changed. However, the so-called "transformation" was a task of post-production special effects. The two actors only needed to make transformation movements in the camera.
Long shot: The Monkey King turns into a temple but Erlang Shen sees through it and knocks him out of his true form with a halberd. The Monkey King wants to escape, but Erlang Shen releases the divine dog to chase and bite the Monkey King.
The Monkey King ran wildly, with the Divine Dog chasing after him.
When filming this scene, carefully selected thin dogs were used. This kind of hound is a specialty of China and has been bred for thousands of years. It has a thin body, a long head and calves and a thin waist. It is good at running and has a body shape similar to that of a cheetah.
Or similar to the Western Greyhound; compared with the Greyhound, it has slightly less explosive speed, but its endurance and flexibility and coordination are far superior to the Greyhound. Its desire to pick up and hunt is also higher than that of the Greyhound, making it an excellent hunting dog.
When filming this movie, Yi Feiyang planned to choose better domesticated police dogs, but most of those police dogs were German shepherds, or the wolf dogs were too different from the thin dogs in the original work. For this reason, Yi Feiyang specially
I asked Fat Jack to be seconded to the place where thin dogs are abundant, and this is how I got the "Howling Sky Dog" in front of me.
Yi Feiyang cultivated a relationship with this thin dog for more than a week, practicing how to chase humans and dogs whenever he had free time.
Now there is a tacit understanding when shooting, especially in the camera, the Monkey King and Erlang Shen are fighting fiercely, but when they are running, they are caught up by Erlang Shen's thin dog, and Zhao is bitten on the calf, and then pulled down again. This time
During the trial shooting of the lens, four or five rolls of film were spent.
Fortunately, in this official shooting, the camera captured the scene very well, and the actors and the fine dogs also worked perfectly together.
The moment Xin Quan pounced on Yi Feifang, "cut!" Assistant Director Cindy shouted to stop.
Shooting is paused.
Yi Feiyang, who plays the role of the Monkey King, was helped up from the ground. Thousands of staff members stuffed cotton on his leggings to prevent him from being bitten by dogs.
Then, reshooting begins.
The roaring dog threw down the Monkey King and bit the Monkey King's calf with its mouth. Erlang Shen stepped forward, threw out the rope, and tied up the Monkey King directly.
"OK! Let's take a rest!" Yi Feiyang, who was tied up, said.
The "Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals" who had just tied him up saw that the scene was finished and hurriedly stepped forward to untie him for the boss and director.
After Yi Feiyang was released, he moved his arms and said with a smile: "You are quite real, you are tied up so tightly!"
This sentence immediately frightened the two actors, "No, we just follow the needs of the plot..."
"Don't be afraid, I mean good job! This is real!" Yi Feiyang patted one of them on the shoulder and comforted. "Filming requires such a serious spirit. Only in this way can we make good films."
