Director’s Legend

When the lead actor met the media in Beijing, Shao Shuaijun and the crew came quietly to Phoenix. The secretary and mayor of the Phoenix City Government personally hosted the crew and the crew and talked about revitalization and development. The next day, with the help of several producers, Shao Shuaijun and his entourage moved into the Phoenix Film Studio.

The filming work in Phoenix will fully cooperate with Fengying on extras, equipment, costumes, etc. Fengying is a time-honored film studio. Especially because it is located on the edge of the desert, many staff members have unique insights and profound background in shooting desert subjects.

There is a scene of fierce desert battle in "Painted Skin", and I plan to shoot here.

"The Shapotou area is located in the southeast corner of the Tengger Desert and has strong desert ecological characteristics. Look at Xiaoshao, from the Baolan Railway, the endless Tengger Desert is in the north and the Tengger Desert in the south. A vast oasis, and further away is the Yellow River, with mountains, water and sand. It can be said to have the majestic scenery of the northwest and the beauty of the south of the Yangtze River."

Feng Ying's deputy director and consultant for the filming, Mr. Xu Jinwei, stood on a pile of sand, with his fingers around him, and said heartily.

In order to investigate the shooting location, Shao Shuaijun and others took a three-to-two off-road vehicle and rushed to Lieutenant (Wei) City Shapotou Scenic Area from Phoenix. In addition to the producer and deputy director, Mr. Xu Jinwei from Fengying and Wang Cisheng, a history professor at Ningda University.

"This yellow sand in the sky really looks like sweet-scented osmanthus cake." Shao Shuaijun sighed.

"Haha, Xiao Shao's words are interesting." Wang Cisheng said with a hearty smile, "Since ancient times, there have been many literati and inkmen in Shapotou, but none of them are so emotional. In the past, Wang Wei was ordered to confess that he fought in Hexi. The warriors who won the battle wrote the ancient poem "The desert is lonely smoke straight, the long river sunsets yuan" in Shapotou. "Painted Skin" was shot here. It can be said that the beauty of the picture and the historical heritage are all there."

"The scenery of the mainland can be said to be intoxicating. We used to be in Hong Kong and didn't dare to use the distant view to shoot the scenery. We were afraid that something shouldn't have popped up accidentally. Here, I must take a long shot. "Huang Yuetai put up the pergola in his hand, looking very excited.

"The mainland has inexhaustible resources, and Hong Kong has our scarce and valuable experience. As long as the integration of resources is achieved, Chinese-language movies can't be revitalized."

"Yes, I hope "Painted Skin" can find a way out for us." Xu Jinwei patted Shao Shuaijun on the shoulder with expectations.

Shao Shuaijun smiled bitterly: "Xu Lao's words have doubled the pressure on me. I can make a contribution to Chinese films, so I dare not refuse."

"It’s good if you don’t dare to refuse. Young people must have the courage to take the lead in order to have steel-cast shoulders. Let’s discuss how to shoot. Professor Wang and I will go to the car for a rest. When people are old, they can’t stand the sun. It's gone."

The staff brought paper and pen, and Shao Shuaijun and others pointed in the desert and began to conceive how to shoot.

The summer temperature in Shapotou is very high. Fortunately, when it comes, you have already prepared parasols, mung bean soup and other heat-reducing things, and the staff holds a small charging fan and keeps blowing the air next to it, which is also pleasant.

"Wang Sheng’s Wang family army needs at least two hundred people to line up to show the kind of military tolerance. You see, starting from this section of the Baolan Railway, along the ancient road of my finger, lined up with flags. Recruiting exhibitions, imagine, is this kind of scene very sensational?"

"In fact, we can take a mix of medium and long-range images, stretch the long-range view to highlight the momentum of the whole shot, and the mid-range feature Wang Jiajun’s battlefield atmosphere. Then we can promote the development of the plot through the dialogue of the close-up."

"Then how to set such a ratio? The distant view cannot be separated from it alone, at least it must be promoted by Wang Jiajun as a whole. The medium and distant views are shot at the same time, using the method of natural transition to combine the two scenes, using depth The push of the camera to highlight the cruelty of the desert war?"

"First draw up this. We followed up with the three groups of aircraft at the same time. Huang Yuetai and Huang Jiahui took the hands to push forward the long-range and mid-range views. Lu Le was directly responsible for the dialogue between the close-range views. Wang Jiajun's rehearsal started from the Baolan Railway, slowly When we drove to the valley over there, our crew set up a group of tents in the valley, and when the team arrived, we finished the filming immediately. This way, it is estimated that even makeup will save trouble." Shao Shuaijun clapped his hands and settled.

Then everyone drove to Beipo again, and Beipo had set up a small tribe's tent gathering area as early as after confirming cooperation with Fengying. The Wang Jiajun will fight with the sand bandits here, rescue the nine-tailed fox Xiaowei, and lead to the plot that follows. The battle here will be a big selling point of "Painted Skin".

Upon reaching the northern slope, the tent camp began to take shape, and even brought a group of sheep for herding in order to make the environment more realistic.

"Director Shao, Director Qian, you are here." Action guide Dong Wei greeted him.

"Director Dong, how is the design of the action going?"

"Here's martial arts training is on the right track. Starting tomorrow, we must cooperate with the props to rehearse the real fight. However, Chen Kun must be urged. He is not a real bullet. If his martial arts moves do not need a substitute, At least ten days of training."

Shao Shuaijun nodded: "I will urge him to come as soon as possible, Dong Gui, I have only one requirement for this fight, and that is true. I want to show how the ancient army raid camps in the desert. I hope you will not be afraid of flowers. Money, just rehearse and arrange to the best. For every action of martial arts, I hope I can truly become a soldier against bandits. Is it okay?"

"As long as I am willing to spend money, I will guarantee the best results."

"The props team must contact Professor Wang Cisheng. Professor Wang is an expert in Qin and Han history. Let him guide you to ensure the historical flavor of this camp. Don't be sloppy."

"I've written it down." The props master Bao Yi nodded and agreed.

"Also, the current layout of the camp is too small, and it is very shabby. The southern section is full of empty land. How do you use the long-term view? Go and communicate with Fengying, and arrange the southern side. The construction of the entire camp must be Reasonable, you can't just pursue the lens."

"Ok."

"Then, the affairs here will be temporarily handed over to Director Qian, and I will rush to Hengdian to supervise the progress over there."

"Director Shao, don't worry, I can't go wrong with my old money."

Qian Yongqiang has been a producer for decades, and he is very capable. Shao Shuaijun flew to Hengdian with confidence. The main shooting location of "Painted Skin" is the ancient town of Qin and Han in Hengdian. In order to ensure the progress of the shooting, the ancient town of Qin and Han has been sealed off, and the staff began to arrange various landscapes and decorate the scene.

When Shao Shuaijun came over, many peach blossom trees were erected at the door of every house. There must be no peach blossoms in this season. For the sake of effect, all the fake trees are covered with pink rags, which look like real peach blossoms from a distance.
