China Entertainment’s rescue plan is hard to come by

Chapter 161: Shooting in progress [[-]-in-[-]]

On the outskirts of Duyun City, the filming location of "The Unknown".

Sun Yi stood by the monitor and simply glanced at the position of the camera. After finding that there was no problem, he stared closely at the slowly raised crane arm and the human-shaped sack hanging in mid-air.

When the height reached 6 meters, Sun Yi grabbed the intercom and quickly shouted to stop.

"Stop, the height is high enough. Unit [-], stretch and zoom the scene from far to near."

According to the prior arrangement, Zhang Guoli began to struggle after finding that the sack was no longer rising.The thick sack and the wire wrapped around his body made him a little breathless. This feeling of hanging in mid-air really made people feel a little nervous.

"OK, put it down. Slow down. The extras quickly go to their positions and stand according to the markings under their feet."

Sun Yi did not shoot this scene in two shots. He planned to take one shot to the end, not because he wanted to show off his skills, but for the convenience of editing later. Moreover, since Mr. Zhang has chosen not to use a stuntman in person, he will directly shoot continuously. The next shot will be more realistic.

The sack fell slowly, and the extra actor who played the role of the Heisehui's younger brother untied the sack as required.

The moment he opened it, Zhang Guoli subconsciously blocked the dazzling sunlight with his hand and took a greedy deep breath.

perfect!

This performance made Sun Yi clenched his fists and sighed in his heart, Zhang Guoli is indeed an experienced actor. These two parts are full of details, coupled with his suppressed flushed face, the performance is very realistic.

When a person comes out of a dark environment for a long time and sees the light for the first time, his eyes must not adapt to it. He needs to make a move to block the sun. Moreover, being put into a sack and hung in the sky requires constant struggle to allow the air in the sack to circulate. It's bound to be uncomfortable, so it's necessary to take a deep breath.As for his expression, he must be really holding it back for the boss.

So much for the first shot.

"Okay, it's over."

"Clap clap clap."

There was a round of applause at the scene. The first scene of the movie started and the first shot was passed in one go. It was indeed a good luck.

"Uncle Zhang, how are you? Are you okay?"

Sun Yi took two steps and helped Zhang Guoli up from the ground.

"It's still OK, it's still OK, just slow down a bit."

"Xiaoting, help Teacher Zhang take a rest."

Xiaoting is with the team this time. In addition to being Sun Yi's assistant, she is also responsible for some on-set management of actors. Of course, she also gets an extra bonus.

The next scene is a group scene, where the gangster gangster fights with the male protagonist Ma Xianyong.

"Lao Qi, how are the placement and positioning of the extras?"

"Hey, director, don't worry, everything has been arranged."

A man in his forties with a wretched face and an assistant director job badge hanging around his neck hurriedly answered.

Lao Qi is the assistant director that Yang Fan hired a while ago. He has been filming TV series before. He is relatively oily and has no artistic talent. However, he has worked with more than a dozen large and small crews in the industry and has rich experience.

At that time, Sun Yi thought that it was his first time directing. Although he had relevant shooting experience, the director of the crew had too many things to be responsible for. He had to rely on him from top to bottom, which would be very tiring for him, so he entrusted Brother Fan to do it. I found an experienced assistant director to be the tool.

Although Lao Qi is a bit sleazy and slippery, his execution ability during filming is still very good. He will shoot wherever Sun Yi tells him and arrange it as he wants. It is very worry-free to use.And according to Yang Fan, this old boy has a handle in his hand, and he can use it boldly and confidently.

Then Sun Yi is welcome.

"Attention extras, come on, let's go through the play first."

"Go 3.2.1."

The group performers began to follow the prescribed route, chasing each other, and even tearing each other apart.It was okay at first, but after a while, the scene became chaotic. Some people ran out of the screen, and some were tripped by others.

"Stop, stop, stop. Click."

"How to get there."

"Sorry, director, I'll reschedule right away."

Lao Qi nodded and ran over, hunched over, and quickly apologized.

Thanks to this, it was a walk-through and not a real shot, otherwise we wouldn’t know what would happen.

When filming, you are afraid of having too many people. The more people there are, the more difficult it is to coordinate. If you want to get the effect, you must pay attention to the location and positioning in advance.

Don’t think it’s just preparation work, but it is indeed very important. There are examples in reality.

When the Sunglasses King was filming "Ashes of Time", he didn't arrange to visit the locations or rehearse the moves. According to his usual style, the actors were allowed to perform freely.

In this way, the acting skills are realistic, but accidents are easy to happen if you can't stand it. My brother was successfully stung by a poisonous scorpion.Fortunately, it was just a young scorpion and its toxicity was not that strong. If it had been an adult poisonous scorpion, it would have been life-threatening.

This means that my brother has a good temper. If Sun Yi had stopped playing with him, he would have been tossing and tossing over the same scene for several years. You were the director, but in the end you were so good that you gained both fame and fortune, and all the actors were ruined by you.

Back on the set, Lao Qi walked into the group of performers with a loudspeaker in hand, spitting at the person who made the mistake just now.

"Can you do it? You just escaped from the scene. You know, there is a line on the ground. Did you see it? Don't get out of the line. If you do it again, you will get out of here."

"And you two are fighting and hitting each other. Why don't you two dance to make it funny?"

"Everyone follows the previously arranged trajectory. I don't want to see anyone tripping again."

"The director just said that this scene can be filmed in the morning, with lunch and dinner. If there are any more unqualified ones, then I'm sorry, they will go back to where they came from."

With that said, he led a group of extras to practice their moves again.

Sun Yi stood in the distance, watching with satisfaction. Many extras were just there to mess around. If you don't explain things clearly to him over and over again, they would dare to keep pretending to be confused.

Today is the first day of filming for the crew, and it is not easy to fire people directly because of this matter. Therefore, Sun Yi arranged for Lao Qi to take charge. Unexpectedly, this old fritter knew this well, and even frightened and bluffed the group into acting. docile and obedient.

I practiced a few more times and didn’t make any mistakes this time.

Lao Qi trotted over and patted his chest towards Sun Yi.

"Director, there will definitely be no problem this time."

"Yeah, okay. This time, all the actors will be in place and we will walk through the play together."

Zhang Guoli also sat up from the rest chair and walked into the set.

"3.2.1. Let's go."

"Oh, yes, good, good, OK."

"Okay, everyone just went well, put on their makeup, checked if anyone needs touch-up, and then the filming officially started."

"Okay, Director."

They brought makeup boxes to the dressing room and started applying them on the faces of the extras. After a while, the makeup was completed.

“The departments are in place, the actors are in place.”

"Nobody. First scene, second shot, ACTION."

"Okay, that's it. Let's call it a day and put on the meal."

The whole morning's shooting was completed in this way. Although there were only two shots, it was a group scene with many people after all, so the progress was quite fast.

Sun Yi did not make anything special about the lunch meal. The whole crew followed the same standard. The lunch box ordered from the hotel included two meat and two vegetables. It was large and filling, and tasted very good.

Sun Yi ate in the surveillance shed. While eating, he watched the replay to see if there were any problems that he had not discovered before.

"Awesome, I really didn't realize it. You look pretty presentable with your vest and hat on."

Yang Mi came over with her lunch box in hand.

It was obviously a compliment, but it made people feel sad to hear it.

"You did it on purpose?"

"What, they are praising you. You don't know a good heart."

As he spoke, he plucked at the fat meat in the lunch box and gently picked it up with his little hand, and each one flew into Sun Yi's lunch box.

"what are you doing?"

"I see you've been tired as a director all morning. Eat more meat to replenish your body."

"Oh, if you don't like it, just say you don't like it. Don't bullshit me."

Seeing that Sun Yi saw through it, Yang Mi immediately broke the jar and complained: "Your lunch box is so greasy. How can a girl eat it? We have to stay in shape. My sister and Wan Qian didn't eat it."

"hiss"

This is indeed a problem that was not considered before.

"Well, okay, I'll notify the hotel tomorrow to add a lighter menu, and I'll give you actresses a choice then."

"It's almost there."

"I can solve the food problem, but you have to act well in the play. You have seen the strength of Teacher Guo Li. Tomorrow is the play between your father and daughter. How are you preparing?"

Hearing Sun Yi's obviously contemptuous tone, Yang Mi frowned and immediately retorted.

"Tch, my acting skills are not just for nothing, okay."

"Humph, what's left is a waste of money."

"you"

"What are you doing? I'll see your performance tomorrow. If you don't perform well, I'll scold you all the same."

"Public revenge."

"Hey, you're right. Let's see if you give me this chance. Anyway, I'm looking forward to it."

These words made Yang Mi so angry that she pouted her lips with a "hum", turned around and left.

Sun Yi knew that when it comes to Yang Mi, you can't praise her. The more you praise her, the more she will get along. Now that the blow is hitting her, she can still have some blood and act seriously.

In the afternoon, the crew started work as usual and finished filming the construction site scene before sunset. Except for the problems with the crane and the extras, the remaining scenes were basically not difficult and could be shot normally.Moreover, Boss Zhang's performance is very stable, and he can basically pass it in one go.

The next day, early in the morning, the crew got up early.

Today the crew has to go to Duyun City No. [-] Senior High School to film the scene between the male protagonist Ma Xianyong and his daughter Ma Yiyi.

The school has been contacted in advance and the venue is suitable, but there are no students.

In order to be more realistic, Sun Yi specifically talked to the principal and hoped that real high school students could appear on the scene.

The school sent a notice to high school sophomores who were already on winter vacation to sign up on a voluntary basis.

I thought that no one would come because they had gone crazy during the winter vacation, but what I didn’t expect was that there was an endless stream of students who signed up.

These days, entertainment methods are relatively simple. Boys have nothing but playing games, playing basketball, etc. Girls can only go shopping and make movies, which is so mysterious and high-end.Almost all the students celebrating the New Year in Duyun have signed up.

Later, I had to conduct a screening process and finally selected 80 people, students from about two classes to star.

There aren't any difficult scenes. One is Ma Yiyi's class. The students can stay there normally for recess, and the others will be distributed in the corridors and on the playground. There will be a distant view when the time comes.

When the crew arrived at the school at 7 a.m., they were faced with more than 80 pairs of curious eyes.

"Students, thank you for participating in our crew's performance today. I am director Sun Yi. I promise here that after today's performance, I can arrange for everyone to take photos and sign autographs. After the movie is released, I will give each of you an extra one. movie ticket."

"Oh yeah."

The students on the playground burst into cheers.

Sun Yi pointed at Lao Qi beside him and said again:
"This is Director Qi. I will ask all students to put on their school uniforms and follow his arrangements. Then, when the shooting starts, remember one thing, don't look at the camera. Let's try to be as fast as possible and try to complete the task today. .”

"it is good"

About an hour later, Lao Qi came over to report to Sun Yi that the students' arrangements were completed.It has to be said that the current students are of high quality. Under the arrangements of Lao Qi and the teachers, they all understand their tasks, which is much easier to mobilize than group performances.

The machines and equipment here have also been arranged. Zhang Guoli is still wearing the same security uniform, but he has an extra piece of fruit in his hand.

Today's scene is about Ma Yiyi who failed to pay his tuition at school. He was called over by the teacher and bargained with the teacher. Then the father and daughter did not understand each other and they quarreled.

Yang Mi also wore a school uniform today and had a ponytail. She looked just like a high school student, except that the letter "z" was added to her temples, highlighting her rebellious image.

"The actors are in place."

"ACTION."

"Parents of Ma Yiyi, these are the tuition, miscellaneous fees and accommodation fees. Take a look."

"Teacher, I'm a little tight lately, so I'll make an IOU first."

"What do I want from your IOU?"

"Teacher, take these fruits, take them."

Sun Yi arranged for the camera to take a close-up shot of Yang Mi. The mid-shot in the office showed Zhang Guoli and the teacher having a conversation. They used the lens language of inside and outside the wall to express their disgust for her father's incompetence through Ma Yiyi's perspective or heart.

The fruit was scattered all over the floor while Zhang Guoli and the teacher were pulling her apart. Ma Yiyi, played by Yang Mi, finally couldn't bear it anymore and stomped on the fruit until it smashed, and then turned around and left.

"Okay, pass. Prepare for the next one."

In this scene, the main focus of the scene was Zhang Guoli, and Yang Mi only needed to have a disgusted expression, so it was completed very well.

In the next scene, the father and daughter had a dispute, and Ma Xianyong directly attacked his daughter.

"ACTION."

"Why are you running? Come here."

"Crack."

"Yang Mi, your emotions include disgust and hatred. I can't see any hatred in your eyes. You have to know that this character has always believed that his mother died because of his father. You Hate him."

"Okay, Director."

"I'll give you 10 minute."

Yang Mi was a little flustered by what Sun Yi said. She didn't wonder whether Sun Yi was taking revenge on the public. She was also a little embarrassed when so many people on the crew were watching.

After thinking about it for a long time, I still felt that something was missing, so I walked over to Zhang Guoli.

"Teacher Zhang, can I trouble you?"

"Oh, Mimi, tell me."

"Teacher Zhang, will you be able to hit really hard in a while? Xiaoyi, ah no, I have a little trouble grasping the hatred the director mentioned. Please help me."

With that said, he bowed to Zhang Guoli.

"Oh, my dear, it's not like that, you have to think about it, I will really take action at that moment."

"Yeah, thank you very much, Teacher Zhang."

"Director, I'm ready."

"Everyone is ready."

“The Second Scene of Nobody, Second Shot, ACTION.”

"Why are you running? Come here."

As he spoke, Zhang Guoli roughly pulled Yang Mi over, her school uniform was torn to pieces, and then he hit her with his hand.

A slap was slapped on the body, and burning pain came. Yang Mi followed the pain, showed a fierce look, and stared at Zhang Guoli.

"Run, run, I let you run."

Zhang Guoli was talking and beating, and Yang Mi was biting her lip to keep silent. In front of many classmates, being treated like this by her father, Yang Mi finally found that feeling, her eyes were red, and there was disgust and hatred in her eyes. Meaning, beyond words.

Sun Yi stared at the monitor and nodded secretly.

This sister was very cruel to me, but it was still quite effective.

"Not bad, it's over."
