On July 15th, the crew transferred to the Nanjing Railway Museum. This time it was the Shanghai Film Studio who came forward, otherwise the Xiaguan Station as a railway cultural relic would not allow the crew to modify it. An overpass was erected on the original railway, and the platform was arranged as
What Shanghai Old North Station looked like in the 1920s and 1930s.
Mid-July is the hottest time in Nanjing. The high temperature of 37 or 8 degrees is really miserable for the actors. Fortunately, after more than a month, He Xin was finally able to comb his hair into a beautiful hairstyle.
Part your hair, and you no longer need to wear that airtight hair cover.
But even so, sweat breaks out at the slightest movement. The busiest people on set are the makeup artists of the crew, who are constantly helping the actors touch up their makeup.
Most of the scenes at the train station are group plays, with not only a large number of extras, but also the leading actors He Xin, Zhang Ziyi, Feng Yuanzheng and Li Bingbing appearing in the same scene in several scenes.
The traffic officer of the underground resistance organization wanted to send top-secret information about the Japanese spy organization hidden in Shanghai to the organization in Shanghai. The two parties agreed to meet at the station. However, due to the traitor's betrayal, the Japanese had already received the information in advance and set up a trap at the station.
Ambush, preparing to snatch the information from the traffic officer.
Situ, a small person in this great era, was involved in a series of unknown events because he picked up the wrong bag.
Yi Ling originally came to the station happily to greet her boyfriend, but it was because of this accident that she died tragically at the gunpoint of Lin Hui.
Shootings, chaos, and car rampage took two days to shoot, and the extras and martial artists even suffered from heatstroke and injuries.
"Brothers, you have to hold on to me for a while, otherwise this won't be real." During the break in filming, He Xin said to the two martial arts brothers who guest-starred as members of the underground resistance organization.
Although the director didn't say anything in the scene just now, He Xin himself was not very satisfied. It may be that the two martial arts brothers were afraid of hurting him, so when they held him in the car, they didn't dare to use real force, so that he himself
I can't let go, and I don't dare to move too much.
"Brother Xin, I'm afraid it's hard to control this strength..."
The two martial arts brothers were obviously in a dilemma.
"It's okay, buddy, you're not a little kid. He's strong. It's okay. Even if something happens, it's my fault. Lao Wang can testify, isn't Lao Wang?" He patted the shoulder of photographer Wang Yu who was sitting next to him.
"I can testify." Lao Wang said with a smile.
He is Lou Ye's official photographer. From "Weekend Lover", "Suzhou River" to the current "Purple Butterfly", he has shot all Lou Ye's movies.
It is said that an excellent photographer is half a director, which shows that Lou Ye trusts him.
It's just that He Xin has never seen the footage on the monitor until now. Not only did he not see it, but Lou Ye didn't show it to other actors on the crew. The reason he gave was that he thought the less interference the actors would receive, the better.
, don’t get entangled, if you think this scene is not well performed, or you have other ways of acting, then please use it to your heart’s content, he gives the actors enough space to perform, and does not care at all about how much film is used.
The staff behind the scenes at Shanghai Film Studio were shocked at first by Lou Ye's behavior as a rich man. They had never experienced such film dripping.
A senior assistant director once lamented privately that the film currently being burned would be enough to shoot three movies, and only one-third of it had been shot here.
He Xin didn't care about how much film was burned, but every time he saw that Lao Wang rarely fixed the machine on a tripod, he would either carry the machine or hold it when shooting. Especially for the shot just now, he just sat down
From the passenger seat of the car, I was holding the machine while the car was shaking violently and took pictures like this.
He Xin, who had been holding back until now, finally couldn't help but ask: "Old Wang, did you get the focus right just now?"
I never thought that when Wang Yu, who usually didn't hum or laugh and looked like an honest person, was questioned by a young man about his professional level, his expression suddenly became extremely vivid.
He first glanced at him with disdain, and then said with an arrogant look: "The director will speak up if there are any problems!"
"..."
At this time, the executive director Ren Bing and the senior assistant director of Shanghai Film Studio took the loudspeakers and shouted on the platform: "Everyone is ready, everyone is in your place, ready to start shooting."
The extras sitting under the shade of the trees stood up one after another and gathered noisily on the platform. This movie is the one with the most extras that He Xin has experienced since filming.
I have to mention here the background of the team behind the scenes at Shanghai Film Studio. Maybe they are not as advanced in ideas as the Hong Kong and Taiwan teams, but they are serious enough. Just for the station scene, these extras, including Wu Xing, have rehearsed over and over again.
For a few days, just like a football match, almost every extra knew their own movements. It seemed like an extremely chaotic scene, but in fact everyone was in order, so that the shots would not be confusing.
Of course, on the one hand, the crew is not stingy and gives them a lot of money. Even though it is hard work, it still greatly stimulates the enthusiasm of the extras. On the other hand, it is also because the extras these days are relatively simple. There are very few people who work with money.
They were not like those gangsters who performed in Hengdian in later generations. Many of them were already mature.
"It's our turn."
After the extras were in place, it was the actors' turn to arrive.
"Sister Bingbing!"
Just as He Xin was standing by the car and letting the makeup artist apply makeup on his face, Li Bingbing appeared out of nowhere. She was still wearing the white shirt stained with red blood.
In the morning scene, she was shot to death by Zhang Ziyi several times.
Now she is lying on the ground playing the role of a dead body. Logically speaking, for a scene like this where there is no close-up of her face and she is lying on the ground as a stage set, Li Bingbing does not have to do it herself. It is completely OK to use a stand-in, but this girl is very
Be serious and proactively ask to perform in person.
Therefore, people in later generations often say that after the four double-ice games, Chinese actresses, like Chinese football, are facing a serious talent shortage. This is not unreasonable.
Let's just say that Li Bingbing's performance today would be unimaginable if it were applied to those "cutout monsters" in later generations and actresses who would like to use seventeen or eighty substitutes for a movie.
In later generations, there are still people who shamelessly come up with something like "Four Yangs and Double Beauties" to compare with the former Four Dans and Double Ices. I don't know how shameless the people who came up with this thing are, or they are deliberately blind and speculate with their eyes closed.
Among the so-called "Four Yangs and Two Beauties", Yang Zi is just barely there, but compared to her predecessors, both in terms of acting skills and honors, they are far incomparable.
Even Fan Bingbing, the most controversial among the big girls, still has two Best Actress trophies at the International A-Cam Film Festival. She is also the Golden Rooster, Double Best Actress of Hundred Flowers and Best Supporting Actress at the Golden Horse Award. Compared to her performance
Pan Jinlian, a certain Yang deliberately pretending to be ugly is just trying to imitate others.
He was a little far away, when he saw Li Bingbing waving his hand towards him and saying with a smile: "Work harder, try to get through this."
Then she was seen standing at the position where she was shot before, discussing with Ren Bing the posture she had lying on the ground before, and lying on the ground doing poses without any scruples.
After He Xin put on her makeup, she quickly got into a classic car. This classic car, which looks somewhat similar to the Mercedes-Benz G600 retro off-road vehicle series, was really a mainstream model in the 1920s and 1930s, and the vehicle that appeared in the play
There will never be an old red flag produced after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Classic cars definitely don’t have air conditioning. Because of the need for the plot, the windows were closed. The driver and Wang Yu, who was in charge of filming, sat in the front row. He Xin was squeezed in the back row by two martial arts brothers. Five grown men squeezed in.
You can imagine how it feels to be in a small, airtight space with the temperature outside reaching 37-8 degrees Celsius. They have to pull each other and fight desperately.
He Xin also wished that the filming would be completed as soon as possible so that he would suffer less.
Situ was put into a car by a group of people. At first he thought he had been kidnapped, but when gunfire rang out, he witnessed his girlfriend being shot dead in front of him, and even his girlfriend's blood splashed on his face.
I was so frightened that I sat there in a daze.
But in an instant he stood up again and struggled desperately, with unprecedented strength.
The two martial arts brothers felt his strength and started to move as promised. One of them hugged his waist tightly, while the other wrapped his arms around his neck from behind to prevent him from moving.
In Wang Yu's shaky camera lens, he can see his veins exposed, desperately trying to turn his head, with his wide eyes staring at the figure outside the rear window of the car, who is gradually moving away as the car moves forward, lying in a pool of blood.
girlfriend in.
At this moment, Lou Ye, who was hiding in a temporary small room, wearing headphones and staring at the monitor, was moved. He couldn't help but secretly exclaimed, this close-up shot is great!
Then the camera lens turned, and in front of the car that was driving crookedly and fast, several martial arts brothers who were mixed in the crowd of fleeing people and had been prepared were knocked down by the car one after another. The next moment the car hit hard.
As soon as he flashed on the barbed wire door, he saw that the Japanese spies were about to rush over. The driver stepped on the clutch and engaged the reverse gear, then stepped on the accelerator, and the car quickly reversed.
The camera once again focused on the controlled He Xin, and his eyes were widening. Because his neck was strangled and his mouth was covered, he could only make a desperate "wow" sound like a beast.
Wang Yu knew what was going on. He felt that He Xin's performance at this moment was extremely real, so he focused the camera on his face and took a close-up without hesitation.
At this time, He Xin's eyes were so wide open that they seemed to burst open at the corners. His eyes were getting more and more desperate, and his body was twisting violently. Just when the car seemed to have hit something, it suddenly shook violently.
One of his long legs caught the car door, and finally he freed an arm from the strong arms of the martial arts brothers, and then shot it towards the camera lens.
This sudden change made the two martial arts brothers who were controlling him subconsciously loosen their grip, and then they heard a howling voice: "Stop!"
"Crunch!"
The classic car braked suddenly, making a screeching sound from the violent friction between the tires and the ground.
Before the car stopped, He Xin opened the door, jumped out of the car, and quickly ran towards Li Bingbing, who was lying on the ground pretending to be dead.
Probably except for the people in the car, no one else paid attention. After all, when filming a movie directed by Lou Ye, the scene is always full of all kinds of changes, and many times it is not according to the script.
Seeing this, the assistant photographer next to him naturally carried the machine and followed him. In the camera, He Xin was seen flying to Li Bingbing's side, kneeling on one knee, groping her body with his hands, and shouting anxiously: "
Sister Bingbing, Sister Bingbing, are you okay?"
Uh...Sister Bingbing?
The staff on the scene thought they were cheating because when they were filming an escape scene at Chedun Film and Television City, Zhang Ziyi had shouted to He Xin: "A Xin, run!"
Even she didn't realize it at the time. It wasn't until He Xin stopped and squatted there laughing until her stomach hurt that she suddenly realized it.
At this time, someone also couldn't help laughing, and then saw He Xin suddenly turned around, stared at him, and roared: "Laugh! What a laugh! No one was hit by the car!"
At this time, Li Bingbing, who had been struggling to endure the pain, opened his eyes. He Xin, not caring about the others, quickly asked nervously: "Sister Bingbing, where did you run over just now?"
Li Bingbing frowned, pointed to his left foot with obvious wheel marks and said: "It ran over to the ankle."
"Can you move?"
"It seems that I can move." Li Bingbing moved his feet slightly and said in an uncertain tone.
He Xin carefully picked up her feet, slowly helped her take off her shoes, and then took off her socks. In front of everyone, Li Bingbing was embarrassed, shrank his feet, and whispered: "I'm fine."
At this time, Li Xue, who was outside, heard the movement and rushed over. She said nervously: "Sister, what's wrong with you?"
"Your sister's foot was run over by a car. Come on, please help take off your sister's socks and see if she's okay?" He Xin said with a frown.
"Why!"
Li Xue didn't care whether her sister was really embarrassed or not, but she still wanted to force Bai Lianhua's character. With the help of He Xin, she carefully took off Li Bingbing's socks.
There was indeed a red and swollen patch on my ankle.
Li Xue wanted to touch him, but he quickly stopped him. At the same time, he shouted to a certain field attendant: "Who is it? Have you called a taxi?"
"Brother Xin, what kind of car?"
"Ambulance!"
"Don't call an ambulance, just use the crew's car to take Bingbing to the hospital."
