I have become top-tier, so I come to proficiency

Chapter 100 This Didn't Just Happen Overnight, Are You Sure He Can Do It? (34)

A hotel business center outsources meeting rooms.

Zheng Quan and Chen Anzhi are holding an impromptu meeting for a new drama.

The people around the round table at the moment.

They are all the core team of the crew of "Xin Qiji 1162".

I want to shoot a historical film with the color of war.

In fact, the work to be prepared is far more complicated than some other themes.

Although the final effect is not necessarily linked to the complexity of the preparation.

But if you want to take good pictures of this kind of subject matter, you have to do it.

Just like some films with very good plots, in fact, the process of preparation and shooting is not necessarily difficult.

Zhang Huaimou's previous filming of Hurricane, mostly in indoor environments, although it seems that the plot is ups and downs, and the plot is also very catchy.

But these are all due to the performance of the actors and the direction of the plot, and have little to do with the quality of the filming preparations.

Many stories may be all done in just one studio of the film and television base.

It is basically enough to build several different indoor backgrounds, and then find a real location to shoot and frame the view.

Not so with war history.

If you want to pursue reality, then the two armies are at war, and the battlefield needs to be shot in real scene.

And such an environment requires a huge venue and the creation of an atmosphere.

Personnel scale, prop scale, even horses, vehicles and more.

And this is just the environment creation of a play.

When the filming started, there were a lot of shots and most of the action scenes.

They all need the support of a professional martial arts team and a stunt double team.

For example, how to ride a war horse, how to fight with swords, guns and sticks, the action design during battle, and so on.

These have nothing to do with the plot, but they are equally important and indispensable.

It is precisely because of the combination of these teams and departments that we can finally implement those things in the shooting script concretely.

So compared with some ordinary crews.

Chen Anzhi's crew, whether it is the number of people in the team or other aspects, is bigger and more complicated.

It has been almost a year since I prepared this drama.

So far, the group has just been completed.

So many things still need to be worked out and discussed in detail.

Chen Anzhi: "Everyone, it's rare that the team is relatively well-organized at this time, so we held an impromptu meeting in Yinhe City to discuss the shooting location of the crew and some procedures after inviting actors to join the crew."

While speaking, Chen Anzhi turned on the projection screen.

The picture above is a picture of a certain area, and it looks really desolate beyond the Great Wall.

"The on-site shooting was in Gubei Province. The local government has issued a permit. Now a temporary fake city and other shooting facilities are being built... In addition, there is a horse farm here."

Chen Anzhi explained in great detail.

From the local cultural landscape, to why it can be combined with this film.

Some scenes are similar to Xin Qiji's era, as well as their advantages.

Finally, after everyone's discussion.

They all feel that there is no problem with the location selection, even if it is directly finalized.

In the end, Chen Anzhi opened the actor's picture, and then said: "I will arrange the audition for the important roles myself. Su Mu is tentatively selected as the lead role, and then..."

"What? The hero ordered Su Mu?"

"Director Chen, should we discuss this again?"

Just at this time,

Finally, there was the first dissenting opinion of the whole meeting.

Chen Anzhi looked across, paused, and then smiled.

The speaker was about the same age as him, so he was an old acquaintance, and his name was Yuan Zheng.

It's an old martial artist in the circle.

Family martial arts inheritance, and later entered the industry until now, as a martial arts instructor for major film and television dramas.

His martial arts stunt team, not to mention the top in the industry.

But it is more than enough to rank in the top five.

So in terms of qualifications and status in the circle, they are actually similar to Chen Anzhi and Zhang Huaimou.

Even in the field of kung fu martial arts movies, it is higher than the two.

After all, the profession has a specialization.

It is true that you are a good director, but you may not be able to make good kung fu scenes.

This is not just a matter of shooting skills, nor is it a problem of actors, because fighting is not a real kung fu duel, but needs to design actions.

The environment, the cooperation and coordination of personnel, and the integration of action design can complete a fight scene.

If the action design is slightly incoherent, or uncoordinated, the logic is not smooth, or there is no aesthetic sense of action, it is a failed shooting.

Therefore, the masters of martial arts, especially these experienced action guides, veteran martial artists, are all treasures in the circle.

This is the one that requires the most experience.

Good martial arts actors are all born out of acting.

Only when you have experienced enough fighting scenes can you dare to say that you can achieve certain achievements in the field of action guidance.

Chen Anzhi: "Old Yuan, what do you mean?"

Yuan Zheng put down his tea cup, his hands were full of calluses, and his voice was rough:
"Since you asked me to come, then I must have something to say. I know this Su Mu. I met him at the awards ceremony two days ago, but he is not suitable for Xin Qiji."

Before Chen Anzhi could say anything.

Zheng Quan on the side said: "Director Yuan, this matter may not be discussed yet, Su Mu is the male lead that was pre-determined."

Yuan Zheng looked at Zheng Quan: "Mr. Zheng, I know that Kiwi is an investment and production company, and I have no right to veto your decision, but since you have come to me, I am just giving my opinion. As for how to decide, it is up to you." thing."

"This..." Zheng Quan was a little embarrassed, and finally could only look at Chen Anzhi.

Chen Anzhi smiled, he knew Yuan Zheng's temper.

In fact, most veteran actors in martial arts have this straightforward character.

What to say, when filming, if the people under you can't do it well, then just scold them on the spot.

But being right about things and not about people is just the nature of a person who has practiced for a lifetime.

Chen Anzhi: "Old Yuan, it doesn't matter whether I found the sumu or the employer found it. Since we discuss it, we can definitely have different opinions, so I want to hear your explanation."

Yuan Zheng: "I've seen some of Su Mu's dramas. His acting skills are good at this age. If it's other dramas, I definitely won't stop him, but this is Xin Qiji. The past and environment of this character are not suitable for a niche like Su Mu. OK

Although makeup can make actors get closer, it's just modeling, but he can't perform the core things.

A military commander must be played by someone who knows martial arts in order to have that kind of smoothness and vigor. Can he play swords?Can you ride a horse?Can you be above the coercion without fear of heights?In other words, fighting with swords, guns and sticks on the battlefield, people who have not practiced and those who have practiced are on it, it is completely different.

The toughness in Xin Qiji's bones needs time to be tempered.

Do you really let this Sumu ride a horse on a tractor on the battlefield?Or find a stuntman to do those difficult moves?
In many scenes, if you change the camera position, you will change the effect. You know this better than me.

Even if he insists on doing it by himself, these things cannot be trained overnight, so I say, he is not suitable. "

Zheng Quan: "..."

Chen Anzhi: "This..."

After all, Yuan Zheng is a veteran martial artist.

So it is very professional and well-founded.

Chen Anzhi and Zheng Quan really couldn't refute.

At this time, the other crew members present did not speak.

Anyway, neither object nor agree, just wait for the result.

"That's not necessarily the case, I think Su Mu is quite suitable."

Suddenly, a tall, thin and beautiful girl voted against Yuan Zheng.

Chen Anzhi glanced at it, and then said with a smile: "Yuan Zheng, your granddaughter Yuan Shuang disagrees, what do you say?"

Yuan Zheng: "..."

Chen Anzhi: "Okay, the matter of Su Mu can be discussed later, and I want to see him tomorrow, I will tell him what you mean, and see what he thinks."
