The crew of "Twelve Zodiac Signs" expected to stay in the capital for a week. Because the eldest brother Cheng had an inexplicable egg shrinkage at the beginning, which subsequently led to poor condition, the entire crew ended up spending nearly half a month.
This kind of delay is not just as simple as doubling the budget, but also requires rearranging many of the original plans, resulting in countless wasted costs.
However, Fang Yi didn't invest money in "Twelve Zodiac Signs", so he didn't feel bad at all. Instead, he took this opportunity to observe the Hong Kong and Hong Kong crew and let his subordinates steal the show and poach them quickly.
At present, compared with mainland film crews and Hong Kong film crews, the most obvious difference is lighting, which is simply... no rules, random lighting. There are only a handful of powerful lighting masters in mainland China, and they are very arrogant. When some actresses are filming,
A certain lighting engineer will be designated to shoot herself and hand out a red envelope, and the lighting engineer will also know how to use unique skills during the shooting, thus creating the effect of the actress being more stunning than her opponent.
The lighting engineer can even make up for the shortcomings of the actor's acting skills. For example, when performing a scene with mixed thoughts and inner conflicts, if her face is half bright and half dark, it will be twice the result with half the effort.
While Base steals others' lessons, others will also want to steal his lessons. Since the days of state-owned studios, Mainland China's Fuhua Road has overtaken Hong Kong, and is far superior in the aesthetics of subdivided fields.
Well, this situation is most vividly reflected in costume films.
——But! Because the monks in Guanghua Temple change every day, as if they have to take turns competing for favor when something good happens, and they always come to Fang Yi to brush their faces, looking very reserved.
Gradually, Hong Kong people realized that Fang Yi was different.
The idea of "reincarnation" spread.
These things are basically nonsense in the mainland, but Hong Kong people do believe this. At least they would rather believe that they have it than believe that they don’t have it. Moreover, they think of Fang Yi’s great achievements at a young age and his strong financial situation.
, if he is blessed with great luck, it can be explained.
The eldest brother Cheng also knew about this. He had heard Yang Shoucheng say that Xiao Fang was the reincarnation of the White Dragon King because he defeated the White Dragon King, and was the ancestor of the White Dragon King kowtow... It sounded quite absurd.
Brother, don't you take it too seriously?
His beliefs are relatively mixed, and he is open to Buddhism. However, he once encountered a supernatural event in Thailand, the holy land of Buddhism, and blurted out "Jesus!" He believed in everything and refused to accept anyone who came.
Now when I really see the scene where the monks are respectful and the priests stay away, it is still very shocking.
These are all well-established religious personnel, not just random charlatans.
The eldest brother, Cheng, confronted Yang Shuancheng in private: "There are some... special sayings on the set. I've heard it from you, but I don't know if it's true or false."
Yang harvest: "Don't say it's true or false, Jackie, do you dare to believe it's false?"
"Of course I don't dare! Why do you curse me like this? Bah! How true is that?"
"What I say doesn't count, only what the professionals say counts."
"Who? Master (monk)?"
"This is the most intuitive evidence... To be honest, I was dubious at first, but I really didn't dare to doubt it at all. He has been making money and succeeding, as if the White Dragon King's predictions have never been wrong... even if it is
From a utilitarian point of view, what if I believe it? So I stopped thinking about it at all."
The eldest brother Cheng was shocked. In his early years, because he was too desperate for filming, no insurance company in Hong Kong dared to insure him. However, when the martial artist performed dangerous moves, he always appeared in front of the Lord of Hell. In order to avoid worries and find a psychological sustenance,
My eldest brother has become very superstitious.
He said: "Fang Yi wants to shoot with all special effects. If he keeps doing it, the Family Class will have nothing to play... I think this will be my last big action movie, but it is not the end of the careers of many people in the Family Class. They still have to eat.
, still needs to develop.”
Yang Shoucheng is a capitalist, so of course he won't care about such nonsense, "I support him. A family class is not a family, and you can't think that you can support it for a lifetime. You have to think more about the boss."
"He wants...what the mainland calls it, revolution!"
"Let him die, let him die, and the red flag will be planted all over the world." Yang Shoucheng continued to persuade.
"All right."
Yang Shuancheng finally warned: "Since you are the one who shot you and he shot his, you should be careful and don't get seriously injured."
"Married Ban and I have been together for decades, and we have no problem."
Brother Cheng hung up the phone.
Now are the last few scenes in the capital, and they are also his most difficult scenes. The eldest brother Cheng has to transform into the Furniture City God of War, and repeat tricks with a bunch of martial artists until the performance effect is satisfactory. Take a comprehensive look at eldest brother Cheng's injury career
, the fatal few times were not those big action scenes, but happened in an extremely ordinary action.
For example, when filming "Dragon Brothers and Tiger Brothers", there was a scene where the eldest brother Cheng was required to grab a vine and swing from one end to the other. Such a simple action, because the vine was temporarily broken, the eldest brother Cheng smashed it on the muddy ground.
What was even more unfortunate was that there happened to be a stone on the soft mud ground, and this stone happened to be embedded behind his ear, which could be said to have dug a hole in the back of his head.
He fell into a coma at that time. This was the most severe injury he had ever suffered, and he was given an ultimatum that "the best outcome would be a vegetative state."
Another time, I jumped from a high building to a ladder hanging from a helicopter. Maybe the cultural level of the entire team was not very good, and no one realized the huge reaction force of the propeller on people. So when the eldest brother Cheng jumped to the ladder, he was horrified to discover
He could only hold on to the last two steps, and was almost blown down and turned into a meat pie.
"——So his shooting method is no longer suitable. In the future, special effects scenes and even stunt scenes must be verified repeatedly and cannot be done recklessly."
Guo Fan and Fang Yi talked at the scene, "Our purpose is to form a standardized and standardized management to avoid the situation where a certain stunt shot can only be monopolized by a certain martial artist with good physical fitness. On the contrary, the speed in this movie is
Once the lens is conquered, other movies can be shot in the same way."
"But the Family Class is already the most mature team in the industry. They have been cooperating even with small moves for decades and rarely make mistakes."
Fang Yi held his head and listened to Guo Fan's casual thoughts while watching the scenes of Big Brother Cheng.
The filming time of "Twelve Zodiac Signs" is expected to be up to 7 months. For a considerable part of the time, he does not need to appear on the set, including the eldest brother Cheng himself, who will not be with the whole process. Therefore, the two will soon leave for a while, and they will film their own films.
's role.
At this time, Big Brother Cheng was performing a comedy martial arts:
He pretended to be the person in the picture inside the picture frame, and when he was discovered, he got out of the picture frame and kicked off the enemy with his feet, which was a very interesting but non-combatant action.
My eldest brother, Cheng, has already filmed it several times. He is familiar with the road and finished it in one go.
The martial arts level of his partner was not that high. During the last shooting, he accidentally dragged away the photo frame. As a result, the eldest brother Cheng failed to kick someone in the air, but it looked like he jumped hard and broke his tailbone.
Slam it on the floor.
"Snapped!"
The eldest brother Cheng grinned in pain and started sweating. Because he often suffered minor injuries, no one paid much attention to it. Unexpectedly, soon after the eldest brother Cheng refused to let go of the assistant who helped him stand up, he slapped the floor and shouted: "Doctor, doctor
