Four hundred and twentieth eight chapters six six six
The scene we filmed today was the scene where Xiao Liuzi was killed by Hu Wan, played by Chen Kun, using a trick, and the brothers vowed revenge.
The scene was still being prepared. Qin Xiaobao hung up a bottle of water and felt a lot better. I don't know if it was a psychological effect or if it really had an effect. He was talking about the camera location with the photographer.
Jiang Wen and others touched up their makeup and stepped forward: "Director Qin, the script says it is facing Liu Zi's tombstone. Where should this tombstone be placed, or is it facing the camera directly?"
"Don't worry," Qin Xiaobao looked up and said, "He's here, isn't he?"
A three-wheeler suddenly entered the scene, and the cargo behind was still covered with cloth.
Hu Ge laughed: "No way, you really made a tombstone? Shouldn't it be normal to make one out of foam?"
"The shape looks a little strange?"
"What on earth is it?"
"You'll find out later!"
After the staff brought the things up and put them away, Qin Xiaobao brought six actors to the side. They were all wearing black coats today. Mr. Liu was dead to show respect.
"Come on, be mentally prepared first!" He grabbed a corner of the cloth.
No one reacted, so they opened it with a huff.
The scene was quiet for a few seconds.
"Hahahahaha!"
"That's so funny."
"I didn't expect that at all."
"ox!"
A six hand gesture appeared in front of everyone, which was beyond everyone's expectations. Jiang Wen was stunned and Ge You burst into laughter.
"Hurry up and laugh!" Qin Xiaobao didn't stop him: "Don't laugh during the filming later."
A bunch of people gathered around the special tombstone to watch.
After a few minutes, the excitement wore off and Qin Xiaobao began to talk.
"Fourth brother comes first. Don't be sloppy. Hold the thumb of your left hand and the little finger of your right hand on both sides, and then look directly at the camera. The other people are doing the same. They should simply say their lines and express their respective personalities. Let's go through it first."
As mentioned before, the crew was messing up the filming. Even if Jiang Wen and Ge You participated in most of the plot, they didn't know what the effect would be until the film was cut.
There are many reasons, including filming not following the storyline, editing techniques, multiple shots, etc...
It has been three months of filming, and Qin Xiaobao has switched from having to talk about every scene, to having finished the performance, and then communicating point-to-point.
This time is no exception.
After a "A!", the whole place fell silent.
"Sixth brother, fourth brother swears to avenge you!"
"Sixth brother, fifth brother swears to avenge you!"
"Brother Six, Brother Seven swears to avenge you... Ouch!" Wei Xiao, who plays Lao Qi, finished his performance to the camera, turned around and was about to go back, but he didn't notice there was a pit under his feet, and stepped directly into it, his body was shattered.
Staggering: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
Qin Xiaobao stood up and shouted cut, laughing with the others.
This is an accident, don't worry about it.
"Well," he pointed at Du Yiheng: "Come and do something with the fourth child's hair. It's a bit messy. Let's do it again."
After saying that, he sat down.
A small incident did not affect the situation, and soon everyone adjusted their status again.
"Cut! Third brother, come on, your expressions are a bit conflicting with those of the fourth brother. Let's make you feel like you are gritting your teeth..."
"Papa papa, Uncle Ge is awesome!, perfect."
"Teacher Jiang, the sound of inhaling is so comfortable."
"Okay, let's keep one and get another one."
"Okay, passed!"
Everyone started packing their things and filming the movie, just take your time.
We started shooting at 9:30 in the morning and ended before 11:00.
It will take the afternoon to continue, because some scenes are just one scene, and they are gone after filming and have to be moved. Moreover, it takes time for so many actors to change clothes, makeup, etc.
The actors went to rest separately. Qin Xiaobao was not in a hurry to leave. The scene was still being cleaned up. After shouting, several assistant directors gathered over and sat under a sun umbrella to discuss the next shooting content.
The doctor took a moment, followed him, and gave another injection to the back of his hand.
The fat director took a look and said, "Director Qin, how many bottles should be hung?"
Don't mention it, it's not that hot after being exposed to water in the summer. It just has a sequelae of excessive urination.
"I don't know. Doctor Liu said we will do three tests today to see how things go." Qin Xiaobao changed his sitting position and asked, "What's the weather like tonight?"
Asking about the weather is a daily routine on the set.
"It's good, but..."
Qin Xiaobao understood the meaning. The weather forecast was often inaccurate, and they were in a rural area, not a city. In Guangzhou, there were also situations where half the city was windy and rainy, and half the city was sunny.
To say that the weather in the city is good does not mean that in Kaiping.
"But starting from the day after tomorrow, it won't be good. It rained for three days in a row." The fat director added.
"Hey..." Life is not easy, Qin Xiaobao sighed.
I can’t say that the day-to-day shooting was particularly smooth. The weather was not beautiful, which was quite annoying.
He looked at the shooting plan in his hand: "What do you have in mind?"
"How about we just take a rest in the afternoon and get ready. We can shoot night scenes in these two days."
"I also think that some shots can be added during the day without affecting the actor's condition. 139, 170, and 237 can be put in."
"Everyone has unanimously agreed, right?" Qin Xiaobao nodded: "Then it's decided. Let's inform each other. Director Wang, please come up with the shooting plan before lunch."
"Good director."
Meetings among the crew are commonplace, usually lasting no more than half an hour. There is no formalism, there are things to talk about, problems to solve, and everyone is very busy.
More often than not, it's like now. A few people sit down and discuss it. If they think it's OK, they pass it immediately. It's concise and clear.
Everyone got up and went about their business. Xiang Yang came over and handed over a juicy cucumber: "I checked and found that you should eat more vegetables when you get angry. Raw ones are the best."
Qin Xiaobao took it with a smile, carefully opened his mouth and took a bite. There was nothing he could do, it hurt.
It's quite moist and refreshing.
"Who is this young man? He's a stranger." He looked up and saw someone else next to the big dog owner.
"Oh, the assistant I just found," Xiang Yang hugged Xiaodong: "My son is an extra. He is on vacation from college and is here to experience life. He is still a fan of yours."
"Really or not, do I have any fans left?" Qin Xiaobao and Xiaodong raised their chins as a greeting.
"Hello Director Qin," the young man has been following Xiang Yang for several days and has never had a chance to face him face to face. He is still a little nervous when he sees the boss of the crew: "I like your movies very much."
"Come on." Qin Xiaobao nodded and turned to Xiangyang: "I haven't seen you at the scene these two days, why did you go?"
"I went to Guangzhou to do some errands and then came back."
"oh."
The producer is the steward of the entire crew. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the busiest person. His workload exceeds that of the director, so it is normal for him to be absent.
"I just heard that we have an afternoon off?"
"Well, it will rain in a few days, so I will shoot the night scene first."
"That's good," Xiangyang looked at his phone: "Come and go somewhere with me."
