Simply put, Li Yi's initiative to expose his shortcomings can be regarded as an early vaccination for the audience.
When you see scenes and plots that feel unreal or exaggerated, people who know them will subconsciously think of Li Yi's words, and will subconsciously wonder if Hollywood movies are more exaggerated than this?
"Bah bang bang!" There was a round of applause at the premiere.
Because, although the truth is simple, not many directors say it directly in front of everyone.
The reasons are very simple. One is that if the status is not enough, if the status is not enough, it will be useless to say it.
However, those directors with enough status often do not say such things, so it is even more rare. After all, when everyone promotes movies, they are promoting their advantages.
"What do you think is the most impressive scene you encountered during the filming of this movie?" Fang Nan asked again.
"Well, it should be the last scene. That scene is when we pass through the combat zone and arrive at the safe zone. That scene is an ensemble scene with many people participating. The whole scene is
There were hundreds of people participating. At first, I thought it might be difficult to shoot, but unexpectedly, that scene was the smoothest and most effective scene in the entire movie." Li Yi thought about it.
Want to say.
"Oh? Why?" Fang Nan asked again.
"Because, in that scene, everyone's emotional outburst was very real. It was probably because of what they experienced while filming abroad."
"The crew has encountered several robberies, and even passed by robbery gangs. People in China may not have an intuitive feeling, but overseas, you will really find that we are very happy!"
"So, in the last scene, the emotional outburst became natural!" Li Yi said with emotion.
This was really his true thought. The scene at that time was actually not easy to shoot.
As we all know, group plays are the most troublesome, especially when there are many actors participating. If any one person has a problem or the performance is not good enough, you have to start over.
Moreover, reshooting this kind of scene is much more difficult than other scenes.
After all, there are more people involved.
With more people, anything can happen.
But beyond Li Yi's expectation, the filming of the last scene went very smoothly.
It almost passed in one go.
After hearing Li Yi's answer, many people showed thoughtful expressions.
Although Li Yi didn't say much, the meaning he expressed made people think deeply.
In other words, for reporters, this is news worth writing about.
"Qianjun, I heard that during filming, there was a scene where you almost drowned, is it true?" Fang Nan turned to Wu Qianjun again!
As the absolute protagonist of this movie, Wu Qianjun's importance is self-evident.
"I can't say it's true. It's actually not that exaggerated. It was an underwater scene that was filmed at a maritime training base. Because it had to sink into the water, heavy objects were hung, probably because they were too heavy.
So, I didn’t make any moves for a while and I sank directly. However, the safety lifeguard of the crew was watching from the side and dragged me to the shore as soon as possible. It was a near-miss." Wu
Qian Jun said calmly.
In fact, almost drowning is an exaggeration, but there is nothing wrong with saying so.
Because it was indeed quite dangerous at that time. After all, it was underwater, and if someone was not good, even if he did not die, he would not be fine.
However, because the lifeguards were waiting nearby and rescued immediately, their lives were not in danger.
"However, that scene was really difficult to shoot. At that time, I wanted him to stop working so hard, because it can actually be done through simpler methods. Although there will be some differences, it doesn't hurt." Li Yixiao
He spoke.
"But he didn't do it. He said that he had been preparing for this scene for more than a month. He practiced diving every day and performed underwater movements. If he chose to retreat just because of the slightest danger or difficulty, then it would be
Not dedicated
So I can only agree." Li Yi said again.
For him, perhaps this kind of thing is nothing, after all, he is a director, but for an actor like Wu Qianjun, this kind of thing is still quite useful.
Wu Qianjun glanced at Li Yi gratefully, and then heard Fang Nan say again: "Is this scene difficult? Can you tell me more specifically?"
"It's really difficult, it's very difficult. The above-water and underwater shooting are separated. In fact, what's more dangerous is when shooting on the water. In that scene, I had to jump from the deck into the sea, but I was accidentally swept away by the water.
, although there was a near miss in the end, it was indeed the most dangerous scene I have ever filmed in my life."
"Underwater shooting is even more troublesome, because first of all, underwater shooting needs to simulate ocean currents, climate, etc., such as foggy weather, etc., and you have to perform prescribed actions underwater for a long time. In terms of physical fitness and actor coordination...
…It’s all a difficult problem!”
"More than ten hours of shooting in the water every day, dozens of attempts, exhaustion, and the scene of being rescued by the lifeguards made the crew sweat!" Li Yi said.
"That scene was really difficult.
Because actors and photographers spend more than 10 hours in the water every day.
The main reason is that each fight cannot last too long, but if you go ashore to rest and then shoot, it will waste too much time.
So in order to rush for time, Wu Qianjun and the staff ate directly in the water to replenish energy.
At least I have directed movies so far, and the extremely cold conditions of "Changjin Lake" can only be compared to the filming." Li Yi really admires Wu Qianjun.
He had also heard before that how hard Kung Fu star Cheng Hu worked in making movies.
Action actors have to endure more hardships during filming than ordinary actors, and injuries are commonplace.
But he has done relatively few action scenes, so he has never had a particularly intuitive feeling, but this time he really admired Li Yi.
Wu Qianjun is really, really hardworking.
Of course, not only Wu Qianjun, but also Lin Yunbin.
Probably the biggest difference between actors and stars is here.
Li Yi is not an actor, so his experience in this aspect is definitely not as profound as that of Wu Qianjun and others.
"When "Wolf Warrior" was about to start shooting, I ended up getting injured. However, in order to wait for me, "Wolf Warrior" was delayed for three months before it started shooting. I couldn't live up to Director Li's sincerity and trust, and I used to
Filming and being a stand-in are actually not any easier than this, so I think this shouldn't be anything." Wu Qianjun said with emotion.
This matter has actually been rumored by the outside world for a long time, and many people lamented Wu Qianjun's good luck.
After all, this is the male protagonist of Li Yi's movie.
The key is that before this, Wu Qianjun was really not a big name in the domestic film and television industry.
Being spotted by Li Yi, and even though he was injured and had to wait three months before filming started, Wu Qianjun worked so hard, which is a good story in the film industry!
