Entertaining Children

  Chapter 800 The first day shooting

"The companion of Xiao Yao's outdoor live broadcast is Zhan Youcheng?" The unexpected expressions of many reporters on the scene showed a trace of surprise. "No wonder that Xiao Yao's outdoor live broadcasts on "Kirin" during this period are all during the daytime on weekends!" These reporters who mainly focus on the traditional entertainment circle do not have many people who pay attention to the webcast. However, Xiao Yao is not an online celebrity anchor, but a star of the traditional entertainment circle. They still know some news about Xiao Yao's live broadcast.

"There were outdoor sports scenes in the early stage of the movie, which involved professional and difficult movements such as rock climbing," Ye Jiaying took over. "But our movie did not prepare Xiao Yao as a stand-in. All professional movements. It will be done by Xiao Yao himself. I wonder if this is another excellent reason to choose him as the leading actor?"

When it comes to this, the reporters seem to have no reason to stare at Xiao Yao as the leading actor. For the specific effect, wait until the movie is completed and released.

  Next, the reporters asked some general questions about other actors, film cost budgets, estimated release time, etc. Ye Jiaying also answered them one by one, and the press conference ended successfully.

  After news reports about this conference came out, it immediately attracted the attention of many netizens. Whether it is Ye Jiaying’s first directing, Xiao Yao’s first film and starring role, the mother-child relationship between the two, and the two directors’ film debuts and starring in film debuts, they chose the very difficult type of biographical film. They are all very topical. Many netizens also discussed this on the Internet.

  At the launch conference, the reporters seemed to be persuaded by Ye Jiaying and Zhan Youcheng to approve the choice of Xiao Yao as the leading actor, but after the news report was released, there were still many doubts and comments on this point on the Internet. In fact, everyone seems to be more worried about Xiao Yao's role as a leading actor in a movie for the first time than Ye Jiaying's first time as a director, and there are also a lot of unfavorable voices.

  Xiao Yao made his debut in the “Cheng Ying” part of the TV series "Ling Yun Zhi", and many people also liked Xiao Yao at that time. Among Xiao Yao's fans, the film fan should be the oldest. In six years, in addition to making MVs and guest appearances in a TV series for a few minutes, Xiao Yao only had a short film "Tuner" two years ago. Short films, which are mainly played on the website in the form of videos, are not considered formal film and television works in the eyes of some fans, and they only last more than ten minutes, which simply cannot meet the expectations of Xiao Yao's film fans.

  After such a long time, Xiao Yao will finally have an official film and television work again, and he is still the star of a leading male movie. How can these fans not be excited? Even if the movie has just started, Ye Jiaying did not give a specific time for when it will be released and when it will be released. However, it is unlikely that Ye Jiaying’s film will not be allowed to be released and will not be scheduled. Sooner or later, it will appear in theaters. On the big screen, fans always have hope.

Xiao Yao’s fans here are happy because Xiao Yao went to make a movie. Suddenly there are many voices on the Internet that look down on their idols. The fans are naturally extremely upset when they see it, and they also launched a counterattack on the Internet for the first time. I started arguing with those netizens who looked down on Xiao Yao.

Don't look at Xiao Yao hiding from fans at the airport. His attitude towards fans seems not very good, but the only stars in the entertainment circle who can really take fans to play flash mobs and self-driving tours. Xiao Yao this one. In fact, Xiao Yao’s fan viscosity is very high. Every time there is something on the Internet that is really not conducive to Xiao Yao’s remarks, Xiao Yao’s fans spontaneously defend their idols and their fighting power is also surprisingly high.

Such a debate on the Internet also made a good pre-publicity for the movie "127 Hours". When the movie was just launched, the name of this movie has already given the majority of netizens a deep impression. impression.

  One week after the start-up press conference, the final exam subjects of the Shen Opera Performance Department were all over, the school began the summer vacation, and Xiao Yao immediately flew to Sichuan Province to join the crew of "127 Hours". But at this time, although the crew is in Sichuan Province, it is not in Wuyou County, but in Jiuzhaigou County near Jiuzhaigou.

  Film shooting does not necessarily follow the sequence of plot development. According to the shooting plan made by Ye Jiaying, during the first week of booting, he basically shot scenes where Xiao Yao did not appear. After Xiao Yao joined the group, he first shot the outside scenes before shooting the indoor scenes. The main part of the movie is the section where Zhan Youcheng is buried in the ruins of the collapsed basement. This section is the focus of the movie, it is the most difficult to shoot, of course it was put at the end by Ye Jiaying.

  In the movie, there is a segment of Zhan Youcheng's memories of living with his parents as a child when he was buried. Because it is a very ordinary life scene, the filming is not difficult, and because it was Zhan Youcheng’s childhood, an eight-year-old boy played the role of Zhan Youcheng when he was a child. Xiao Yao was not needed, so the first filming was done by the crew. This paragraph.

  After shooting this part, the crew will shoot outdoor scenes in the wild. The outdoor scenes in the movie are mainly the scenes of Zhan Youcheng, played by Xiao Yao, in outdoor sports. There are scenes with him alone or with other actors. In fact, the number is quite large.

  The shooting at the beginning of the scene was not difficult, and the shooting went smoothly. When Xiao Yao finished the exam, Ye Jiaying had just finished filming the footage of Zhan Youcheng's life with his parents when he was a child, and brought the crew to Jiuzhaigou County to prepare for shooting outdoor scenes. Xiao Yao joined the group at this time, and the time was just right.

  When the Wuyou County earthquake last year, Jiuzhaigou, which is dozens of kilometers away, was also affected to a certain extent. Although only a dozen tourists were injured and no tourists were killed, this also caused a big blow to Jiuzhaigou's tourism business. Knowing that Ye Jiaying needed an outdoor location to make a movie, the Jiuzhaigou scenic area took the initiative to contact the crew and invite them to come to Jiuzhaigou to shoot. They will do their best to provide convenience to their crew.

They did this because, on the one hand, this movie is about people and things during the earthquake last year. It can help you get rid of the shadows of the earthquake last year. It will help you restore your confidence in traveling to Jiuzhaigou. They also want to help. Give it a helping hand. Of course, more importantly, I want to use Ye Jiaying's film to make publicity and restore their tourism enthusiasm in the Jiuzhaigou scenic spot.

  The scenery of Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area is very beautiful and it is a very suitable location for outdoor scenery. Under normal circumstances, it takes a great price to use this as a location. This time, the rare scenic spot took the initiative to contact and put forward a lot of favorable terms. Ye Jiaying didn't mind helping Jiuzhaigou with publicity. Since it was a win-win choice, Ye Jiaying chose the location here.

   Xiao Yao flew to Jiuzhaigou County by plane on the day of the exam, and arrived at night already. The crew did not have a filming task that night, and everyone even held a welcome party for Xiao Yao. Xiao Yao officially met with everyone in the crew, got to know each other for a while, and then went back to the room to rest.

   Rested for one night, and early the next morning, Xiao Yao set off into the mountain with the crew.

  The Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area has provided a lot of convenience for the crew, and Ye Jiaying would also like to give back, adding some shots of the beautiful scenery of the Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area in the movie to make some publicity for it. Of course, the scenery in Jiuzhaigou is very beautiful, and these lenses can also add a lot of color to the movie.

  Actually, the crew only arrived in Jiuzhaigou County during the daytime yesterday. After they settled down, it was not too early. They had not yet entered the mountains and started shooting on location. In the early morning and morning hours, Ye Jiaying did not arrange filming scenes with actors performing, but first directed the photographer to take pictures of the scenery of Jiuzhaigou. By the way, Xiao Yao, who had just arrived yesterday, had more time to rest and enter the role.

  In addition to some shots taken by the photographer carrying the camera, Ye Jiaying also plans to take some panoramic shots of Jiuzhaigou through aerial photography.

   "August 1st, do you want to play with drones?" Before shooting the aerial footage, Ye Jiaying found Xiao Yao and asked.

   Speaking of aerial photography, Ye Jiaying did not spend money to rent a helicopter, but used a drone with a high-definition camera to shoot. Ye Jiaying's idea was actually when he watched Xiao Yao's "alone" MV last year and thought of him when he talked about the shooting experience. Since I got the inspiration from Xiao Yao, I also know that the aerial shots in the MV were taken by Xiao Yao operating a drone by himself. Ye Jiaying wanted to let Xiao Yao have another addiction to playing drones, so he could do it by himself. Man-machine shooting.

   "No," Xiao Yao shook his head, "Didn't you invite someone to operate the drone to shoot? You don't need me to operate the drone?"

   "There are people invited, but you can take turns shooting, and you can also take a break." Ye Jiaying said, "Anyway, it's just shooting material. It doesn't matter if you shoot more. You can also give me more choices, the more the better."

   "No need," Xiao Yao still shook his head, "I'm still going to be acting in a while."

  Speaking of which, operating a drone for aerial photography is also a photographer's job. Xiao Yao said that he didn't do anything except acting in this movie, in order to be afraid to weaken the impression that this movie is Ye Jiaying's work. Xiao Yao is a photographer. He is a professional in terms of picture composition and the use of light and shadow. He doesn't even participate in the screenwriting, let alone be a photographer.

"Okay. Then you prepare well. We will shoot your scene after lunch." Xiao Yao is not interested, and Ye Jiaying is not reluctant. He instructs Xiao Yao to direct the photographer who operates the drone to shoot. Filmed.

  When the drone was in flight, the other crew members were not idle. In the afternoon, I will shoot a scene of rock climbing by Zhan Youcheng played by Xiao Yao. The rest of the crew came to a pre-selected section with a rock formation of more than ten meters high, and under the direction of the deputy director, they started various preparatory work before shooting. .

Although Jiuzhaigou County is not far from the Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area, their location is not an area open to tourists. The way in is not easy. It is not easy to come in. Everyone will not go back to the county at noon. Just come out once. Shoot all day.

  At noon, the film crew brought lunch boxes to everyone. The crew had lunch at the filming location, and after a short break, they were ready to start the afternoon filming.

  Before the shooting started in the afternoon, there were a few more people in the crew, and several entertainment reporters were led to the shooting location by the staff of the scenic spot.

  Because the filming of this film has aroused a lot of discussion on the Internet, it has attracted the attention of the public, and many media reporters have issued requests to Ye Jiaying for the shooting of the crew. Ye Jiaying selectively agreed to some, so from time to time some reporters appeared on the crew.

  Today is the first day when he moved to Jiuzhaigou for location shooting, and it is also the first scene after Xiao Yao entered the group. Although the wild place is not easy to find and the road is not easy to walk, the number of reporters who came is even more than when shooting on the ground the first day after starting the machine.

  The first scene as a director, reporters have already reported, and Ye Jiaying knows that these reporters are here today for Xiao Yao. She is very confident in Xiao Yao, and she doesn't care about these reporters' visits. As long as they don't affect the filming of the crew, they will be optimistic about it.

  "Come and walk again!" When I had lunch just now, Ye Jiaying had already got together with Xiao Yao and told him the first scene. When the filming started, Ye Jiaying directly let Xiao Yao take his place.

   "Okay!" Xiao Yao nodded, and began to move according to Ye Jiaying's requirements, so that the photographer could choose the right camera position and shooting angle.

   "OK, the filming has officially started! All departments are ready ~ start!" Ye Jiaying commanded while sitting behind the monitor.

  "The seventh scene of "127 Hours", the first shot, the first..." the scene note stretched out the scene board to the camera and shouted.

   "Pop!" The clapper retakes the clapper.

Xiao Yao, wearing a helmet, appeared in the picture with his back to the camera, stretched out his hands and grabbed a bulge on a section of the rock wall in front of him, and then stepped on the bulge on the rock with his feet in turn, waiting until his body was arched. , Xiao Yao stretched his body again, stretched out his right hand and climbed a higher bulge. After grasping firmly, he lifted his left foot up to a higher position and dropped his foot. After stepping firmly, he exerted force to drive his body upward, and his left hand again Climbed higher...

   "I'm going, Xiao Yao just crawled like this? It really doesn't matter if you don't need a substitute, but why are there no safety measures? Ye Jiaying wouldn't take her son's life seriously?" Several reporters couldn't help but whispered. Although Xiao Yao's rock climbing movements were smooth and beautiful, what they noticed was that Xiao Yao didn't have any safety measures on his body. In their eyes, a helmet is not a protective measure.

   "Cut! Okay, this shot has passed, the next shot." Ye Jiaying shouted with satisfaction.

   "Dao Ye, Xiao Yao just climbed with bare hands? Why are there no safety measures?" While the staff was preparing for the next shot, a reporter walked to Ye Jiaying and asked her doubts.

"This lens Xiao Yao only climbed two or three meters up. The bottom is flat ground. There is no danger to him. Therefore, if the safety rope is not used, it is unnecessary to try to avoid wearing the lens. When we are really working at heights, of course we are Security measures will be taken." Ye Jiaying patiently explained, and then started to rush people, "Sorry, we are about to start shooting the next shot. If there is any problem, I will go back to the county at night. Give you time to interview. Now, please don't disturb the filming work of the crew!"

   "Oh! Okay!" The reporter nodded wittily, and immediately returned. In fact, her goal has been achieved.

In the next shooting, as Xiao Yao’s position continues to rise, not only is a very thin transparent safety rope added to his body, he also uses stone cones and stone hammers in the scenes behind. , Safety ropes and other tools. As the action was in place, the protective safety rope did not work, and Xiao Yao climbed to the top of the ten-meter-high rock formation in one go.

   "Damn, Xiao Yao's skill is not much worse than a professional rock climber. No wonder you don't need a substitute."

   "These things seem to have been shown by Xiao Yao during the live broadcast of Kirin."

   "Isn't the person with Xiao Yao in the live broadcast Zhan Youcheng?"

  "Zhan Youcheng seems to be a professional outdoor sports enthusiast. It seems that in the previous few months, Xiao Yao and Zhan Youcheng were not just playing with each other, not just experiencing roles, but also learning a lot from Zhan Youcheng."

   "It must be taught by Zhan Youcheng! I just don't know if Zhan Youcheng would teach Xiao Yao this without the high-tech prosthesis."

   "Without that high-tech prosthesis, Zhan Youcheng would not be able to teach it, right?"

   Seeing Xiao Yao's performance, the reporters who visited the squad started talking in a low voice.

  Next, the crew of the crew moved their positions and took a detour from the side to the top of the rock formation to take a shot of Xiao Yao after climbing up to the top of the rock.

In the camera lens, two hands appeared on the edge of the rock top platform, and then Xiao Yao's head in a helmet appeared, and then the entire upper body. After reaching the top of the rock, Xiao Yao stood on the edge of the rock and shouted loudly. Sighed.

   Facing the wide open scenery and the sunlight shining diagonally in front of him, Xiao Yao, who was quite relaxed and happy, yelled: "Cool!"

  It was already three or four in the afternoon, and the sun was shining diagonally. Xiao Yao was facing the south, and one of the cameras was shooting Xiao Yao's profile in the east. In the lens of that camera, because of the backlight, the oblique sunlight shone on, as if it had plated Xiao Yao's entire profile with a circle of silver, and the whole picture had a dreamlike feeling.

This is the last shot in today’s shooting plan. The following scenes are not only Xiao Yao alone, and Ye Jiaying did not expect Xiao Yao’s shooting so smoothly. Today, there is no other actors to shoot at the location. The scene, so after this scene is over, the crew can call for work today.

   Accompanied by Ye Jiaying's "Cut! It's over!" Xiao Yao also finished the first day of shooting the first feature film in his life with this very dreamy lens.
