Chapter 547: Not everyone can learn Director Dogs routines
Originally, Lou Zhenglong's "Fire Heroes" and Sujiang Satellite TV jointly launched a reality show with the same name as the movie. What was the purpose?
On the one hand, it is to make some extra money, but more importantly, it is to promote the movie.
Under normal circumstances, games like "Great Wall Summer Camp" do have a strong promotional effect on "War Meridian".
But in the end, due to poor ratings, the "Fire Soldiers" reality show made a mistake. As a result, it caused constant controversy and at the same time, it was like a double-edged sword, hurting its own movie "Fire Soldiers".
!
Sometimes, an impression is formed that is difficult to shake off.
This made Lou Zhenglong feel very uncomfortable.
On the other side, Xue Yibin was not much better. The original idea of "Phoenix on Fire" was good, but the actresses were not real soldiers after all. As a result, after training, because of the needs of the show, they really
Increase the training intensity, and then there will be no more.
Some actors actually quit on the spot because they really couldn't stand it!
Then, the show was nothing, but Xue Yibin was embarrassed.
Such an actor will play the role of a female special forces soldier in "Phoenix on Fire". The audience will be able to watch it every minute, right?
It just so happened that at this time, the second episode of "Great Wall Summer Camp" was officially launched. As soon as it started airing, the popularity was unprecedentedly high.
And the key is the rave reviews.
"This is a real reality show. There is no script. You can do whatever you want. The "Fire Soldiers" show next door feels like it is trying to discredit the fire fighters! What the hell!"
"So, not everyone can learn Director Dog's routines!"
“The little ones cry for their mother in the middle of the night, it’s so real!”
"Poor baby, he has to be a father and a mother at the age of ten. Oh my god, it's so funny!"
"I have signed up my baby bear for a wilderness survival summer camp, and it is time for him to experience the sufferings of the world!"
"What kind of human suffering is this? Haven't you seen the behind-the-scenes of the filming of "War Meridian"? I can't help but feel sad when I think that at the age of 16, I am already a veteran who has been in the army for seven years!"
"Who says it isn't? Well, compared to the children of that era, our children today are really, really happy. They all grew up in a honeypot."
Li Yi, the conscience of heaven and earth, really didn’t want to cause hatred.
But they couldn't stand it, and netizens just liked to compare him with other directors, who made everyone play the same routine. Li Yi's side received rave reviews, but their side almost made netizens scream.
Even the filming progress of the movie was delayed because of this.
After all, they also need to consider whether the actors they choose in the reality show leave a bad impression on the audience for some reason, will it affect the movie?
The answer is yes!
So, it was originally a good strategy. Movies and reality shows can promote movies, hype each other, and make money. It is a win-win situation in many aspects, but how did it develop into this?
The encounters between Xue Yibin and Lou Zhenglong also caused some directors who originally had similar ideas to put out such ideas. After all, the risk seems a bit high!
The movie hasn't even been filmed yet, and there's already a lot of negative news. How can you do this?
The point is, comparing people to each other is really infuriating!
The popularity of "War Meridian" continues to increase with the broadcast of "Great Wall Summer Camp".
Of course, this and "War Meridian" will also release some filming behind-the-scenes from time to time, continuing to maintain its popularity.
...
But in fact, the filming of "War Meridian" was not so smooth sailing.
Because, there are many scenes that require many times of guidance and adjustments before they can achieve the effect Li Yi wants.
The filming location of "War Meridian".
"Scene 28, first shot, fourth shot, a!"
This is the first scene in the film where all the young actors, except for the role of the nurse, come together for the first time. This group scene has been filmed three times, but problems of one kind or another arise every time.
In fact, this is also the norm in the filming of this movie.
It is always difficult for underage actors to control the front when filming.
In particular, they had no reference. After all, where could a young Eighth Route Army soldier of this age find any reference?
Fortunately, the young actors selected by Li Yi are very patient.
In this scene, the young actor playing Cao'er had to act blind, but at the same time, it was not the kind of congenital blindness because her eyes were blinded by poison gas bombs.
There is actually a big difference between congenital blindness and acquired blindness.
If she is congenitally blind, she will appear to be accustomed to not being able to see. If she is blind after acquisition, it will be difficult for her to hear sounds and identify her position.
But how to perform this effect?
The most difficult part is that her eyes look the same as those of ordinary people, but she cannot see them.
It may not be particularly difficult for an adult to act, but it is different for a child to act.
"I was annexed. The annexation meant that my mother left me at a fellow villager's house and picked me up tomorrow!" The young actor who played Cao'er performed very well this time. Although her eyes looked no different from anyone else's,
However, he kept looking straight ahead without focus, but when he spoke, his eyes blinked.
Li Yi, standing behind the monitor, nodded.
At this time, another young actor came over and bumped into the grass.
The whistle made of bullet shells she was holding in her hand knocked it to the ground.
"Me too!"
The camera showed the bullet shell whistle falling on the ground.
The old military doctor picked up the whistle and handed it to Cao'er: "Here!"
Cao'er couldn't see the old military doctor at all. She just stretched her hand forward and said politely: "Thank you!"
The actor who plays the role of the old military doctor is an experienced actor, and his acting skills come to the fore at this time.
He looked into Cao'er's eyes and frowned slightly, but there was a hint of distress in his eyes.
The camera gave a close-up of Cao'er's face.
Her eyes blinked, but she couldn't see at all.
"Children, I have a favor for you..." the old military doctor said the lines, but there was a hint of helplessness on his face.
"If we catch up with the troops, report our situation. If we can't catch up..." At this time, the prop team made the sound of a set of bomb explosions.
The old military doctor and the actor playing the veteran obviously had a subconscious avoidance action.
"Child, let's go!" His voice suddenly became stronger.
The veteran nodded and took two steps forward. His eyes fell on the wounded.
One of the wounded men was pulling the bolt of the gun, while the other wounded man lying on the ground held a grenade in his hand. The back cover had been opened. He stretched out his hand to pull the wire and wrapped it around his finger!
Thick smoke rose, and the veteran looked behind him to see the other children who had been scattered but gathered here again.
"Ka! This one passed!" Li Yi finally smiled.
Although this scene is not particularly complicated, because it is shot with multiple cameras and it is a group scene, if there is a problem with everyone's performance, it will have to be re-shot.
After hearing Li Yi shouting, everyone breathed a sigh of relief!
