Chapter 117 The filming of "Black Fist" begins and the escaping wild wolf
In five days, Huang Jinhao assembled a crew.
On the night when the crew was assembled, he came to Li Zhongwu's residence to discuss some matters with Li Zhongwu about starting filming tomorrow.
"When I was filming a TV series before, I had an assistant director who worked very well with me. This time I called him to continue to be my assistant director and asked him to help me find a suitable shooting location. It was the black boxing scene in the script.
The place has been chosen. It is an abandoned factory. Next, he will lead people to simply decorate the place, at least to make it look like a black boxing venue.
However, we don't have to wait for him to finish the work. We can go and shoot other scenes tomorrow, such as the scene where you and your sister come to Tianfu City, and your sister is hospitalized. You go to the hospital to see her every day, and deal with the doctors and nurses.
As for the scenes, these are all literary plays, and the venue requirements are not high. We will try to complete all these scenes within a week.
A week later, the decoration of the abandoned factory should be almost complete, so we can just move the crew there and start filming all the action scenes of this drama, what do you think?"
In the courtyard, an electric light illuminates the courtyard.
Li Zhongwu and Huang Huanghao sat under the persimmon tree, drinking tea and chatting.
After hearing Huang Jinhao's plan, Li Zhongwu had no objection and nodded in approval.
"Okay, can we start shooting tomorrow morning?"
Huang Jinhao: "Well, if you don't have any problems here, we will start shooting tomorrow morning. I have thought about it. Anyway, we are just a small-budget movie, and there are no big stars participating, so we won't do the opening ceremony. Just turn on the camera.
We can save some money by starting shooting, what do you think?"
Li Zhongwu: "Okay."
Huang Jinhao smiled, hesitated slightly, and suddenly lowered his voice and said: "By the way, I have some opinions on the script that I would like to discuss with you. Can you please listen to it?"
Li Zhongwu looked at him, raised his chin slightly, and signaled him to say.
Huang Jinhao: "It's like this. At the beginning of the plot in your script, it's all a literary drama. It's about filming you and your sister walking to Tianfu City in a dusty way. Through some conversations between you two brothers and sisters, you introduce your origins and where you came from.
The purpose of making a living in Tianfu City, right?"
Li Zhongwu hummed.
Huang Jinhao: "I personally feel that this kind of opening is too bland. After all, our drama does not have big stars. If the opening is not attractive enough, I am afraid that it will be difficult to gain popularity after it is released, and it will not be able to attract the audience in the first place.
Therefore, I suggest adding a short action scene at the beginning. For example: On the way to Tianfu City, your brother and sister suddenly encountered a beast, such as a tiger or a wild wolf. As soon as the movie started, within a few seconds,
This beast suddenly appears and wants to attack you brothers and sisters. If you brothers and sisters without guns in your hands suddenly encounter such danger, think about it, will it make the audience nervous immediately?"
Li Zhongwu thought for a while and nodded in agreement, "Then I kill the beast?"
Huang Jinhao smiled and said, "Yes! However, this fight scene does not need to be long, just be concise. I think you can kill this beast with one blow with a knife, focusing on showing your awesomeness in sword skills.
In this way, when you fall out with the big boss who organizes black boxing in the middle and later stages of the movie, and have a weapons duel with the big boss's bodyguards, you can naturally show off your superb sword skills, just like the sword skills you showed at the beginning.
The method can echo back and forth, which can be regarded as turning the brief fight scene at the beginning into a small burden. What do you think of such a plot modification? Is it possible?"
Li Zhongwu narrowed his eyes and carefully went through the plot changes that Huang Jinhao just said in his mind.
I feel that overall, it did not change the direction of the story.
It also makes the whole plot more exciting, which is really good.
"Okay, you can, but if you add a beast, it will be difficult to shoot, right? Will it significantly increase the cost of shooting? Have you considered the cost?"
Li Zhongwu subconsciously thought that filming such a scene would require the use of computer special effects.
Otherwise, where can I find a beast to shoot with?
Even if he did find a ferocious beast, he couldn't actually kill the ferocious beast with a single blow during filming, right?
It wasn't that he didn't have the confidence to take on a ferocious beast, but that he subconsciously believed that ferocious beasts were nationally protected animals and could not be killed.
but……
Huang Jinhao smiled easily, "It's okay! A wolf is not worth a lot of money, and tigers are more expensive. If you agree to film such a plot, I will have someone buy a few wild wolves, and then I will apply to the government.
Try to invite a few city guards with guns to come over and let the city guards hold guns to help ensure safety on the set. Then when filming, you just use the knife to kill the wild wolves. As long as you are in danger, let the city guards shoot.
Kill that wild wolf with a gun, and then replace you with another wild wolf and continue to chop it for you until you take a shot of killing a wild wolf with one knife. I believe that with your skills, you can probably buy three or five wild wolves.
If the wolf comes over, it should be enough, are you confident?"
Li Zhongwu looked at him in surprise.
I was a little confused.
Buy a few wild wolves and take some real shots?
How about asking a few city guards to come over with guns to ensure safety?
Can wild wolves in this era be killed casually?
Are those city guards sure they won't protect the wild wolf?
"You here..."
Li Zhongwu hesitated and asked: "Isn't it illegal to kill wild wolves here?"
Now it was Huang Jinhao's turn to be surprised, "It's illegal to kill wild wolves? What kind of law is it illegal? You used to live in the forest, haven't you ever killed wolves when hunting?"
Li Zhongwu: "You mean... you can also kill wolves in your city? Wolves are not protected animals?"
Huang Jinhao was even more surprised, "How is that possible? How can a beast like a wolf be a protected animal? Do you know how many people die every year from the kiss of wolves? Wild wolves are overrun in both the south and the north, okay? Who would
Now that you’re full, why don’t you go protect the wild wolves?”
Li Zhongwu: "..."
Only then did Li Zhongwu realize that the protection of wild animals in this era is completely opposite to that in the 21st century.
"Okay, since you can kill the wolf, let's take a real shot! I have no problem."
Huang Jinhao regained his smile, "Are you sure? Or, when you lived in the forest, did you ever kill a wolf?"
Of course Li Zhongwu had never killed a wolf.
But when he reincarnated in the movie world, he killed many people with strong martial arts skills.
In comparison, a wild wolf that attacks only with its claws is naturally not worth mentioning.
"I haven't killed anyone, but it should be fine."
Huang Jinhao nodded, "Okay, by the way, do you know how to use a sword?"
Li Zhongwu nodded.
Huang Jinhao: "Then what kind of knife are you accustomed to using? I'll ask the prop team to prepare it for you."
Li Zhongwu shook his head, "No, I have my own knife, so I don't need to prepare anything else."
Huang Jinhao was a little surprised, "That's it, that's no problem. I'll have someone buy some wild wolves when I get back soon. Remember to go to the set before 8 o'clock tomorrow morning... Well, forget it, I'll drive here tomorrow morning."
Let’s pick you up! You’ve just arrived in Tianfu City not long ago, and I guess you don’t know how to get there even if I tell you where to meet.”
Li Zhongwu has no objection.
Huang Jinhao looked at the yard next door and said with a smile: "By the way, you recommend the little girl to play your sister. Remember to inform her later. I will pick her up tomorrow morning and we will go to the set together."
Li Zhongwu hummed.
…
It was around 9 a.m. the next day.
On the way to the film and television city outside the city, the crew of "Black Fist" got off the car and went to a nearby hill.
Today is the first day of filming, so the crew gathered relatively late.
At this time, a group of people came to the mountain col with one foot deep and one foot shallow. Behind the team, there was a team of dragon and tiger martial arts masters, carrying several large iron cages, and also came to the mountain col.
These iron cages are covered with black cloth.
In every iron cage, there is a wild wolf.
From time to time, the sound of wolves howling came from the cage.
Some people in the team turned pale with fright and their feet became weak.
For example, Shen Xiaoling following Li Zhongwu.
The howls of wolves coming from behind her from time to time, as well as the sound of wild wolves hitting the iron cage from time to time, made her terrified.
Growing up in Tianfu City, had she ever been so close to a wild wolf?
Especially when she thought that when she and Li Zhongwu were acting, the iron cages would be opened one by one, and every time a wild wolf came out to attack them, she felt nervous.
She even had the idea of running away from the crew.
but……
She was reluctant to give up this opportunity to serve as the second female lead.
I had to keep cheering myself up in my heart and have the courage to walk into this mountain col with everyone.
"This is it!"
Huang Jinhao suddenly stopped and announced this decision.
The entire team of more than 20 people immediately stopped and began to make preparations.
Several city guards with guns stood guard around several iron cages.
The makeup team came to Li Zhongwu and Shen Xiaoling with their makeup boxes to put makeup on them and change their clothes.
Huang Jinhao directs the scene, and the cameraman positions the camera and director's monitor.
etc.
Various preparations started in a busy and unhurried manner.
Li Zhongwu, who had a long knife in his hand this morning, sat on a simple pony and let the makeup artist do his makeup.
The makeup artist cut his hair slightly.
The most important task was to color the skin exposed outside his clothes, because in this movie, the male protagonist he played had just come out of the virgin forest, so the overall look had to be rough and wild.
Even the clothes prepared for him and Shen Xiaoling were all handmade coarse linen.
In order to get closer to the character's image, the makeup artist, after consulting with Li Zhongwu, specially painted a few scars on Li Zhongwu's forearms and cheeks.
Among them, there is only one scar on the cheek.
But it was this horizontal scar on his left face that changed Li Zhongwu's temperament a lot.
At first glance, he seemed to have a murderous aura about him.
It's around 10 a.m.
The first test shoot begins.
Li Zhongwu, dressed in coarse linen clothes and holding a long knife, supported his sister played by Shen Xiaoling and walked from the front of the mountain col. Both of them looked dusty.
Among them, Shen Xiaoling, who was supported by Li Zhongwu, looked much weaker.
Li Zhongwu stopped his posture, his face was cold and hard, and his eyes that glanced around always had a cold and solemn expression.
Huang Jinhao, who was sitting behind the director's monitor, saw this, nodded slightly, and then waved to the side.
On the hillside to the right, there were five iron cages spread out in a row. Someone immediately stepped forward, pulled off the black cloth on the first iron cage, and then opened the cage door. Then the person quickly retreated.
The cage door opened, and a skinny wild wolf roared and rushed out of the iron cage. At the foot of the hillside, Li Zhongwu, who heard the wolf howl, suddenly turned to look at him, murderous intent appearing in his eyes.
On the hillside, the wild wolf that was sprinting down the hill saw Li Zhongwu's eyes and immediately stopped its hooves. Its inertia carried its hooves and slid down the hillside for more than one meter before coming to a complete stop.
Immediately, it lowered its head and looked at Li Zhongwu warily. The next second, under everyone's stunned gaze, it turned around and ran away, running farther and farther, without daring to continue running towards Li Zhongwu.
Li Zhongwu: "..."
Huang Jinhao: "???"
Shen Xiaoling: "???"
Others in the crew: "???"
Except for Li Zhongwu who guessed the reason, everyone else was confused.
Huang Jinhao stared at this scene blankly, and then frowned and cursed for a while: "Fuck! Why is it running away? Didn't you say that these wolves have been hungry for two or three days? How come it doesn't pounce on people when it sees people? Ran away? This wolf can’t be a vegetarian, right? Grass!”
There is no other choice but to reshoot.
Li Zhongwu and Shen Xiaoling returned to their starting positions, and after the recorder made the call, they moved forward for the second time.
This time, Li Zhongwu reminded himself in his mind to restrain his murderous intention.
He himself knew that he had killed too many people and his murderous aura was too strong.
Perhaps it would be difficult for ordinary humans to detect his murderous intent after he had tried his best to restrain it, but wild wolves were obviously more sensitive to murderous intent, so he had to restrain some more murderous intent.
