Chapter 1418 The Secret of Success
The cold wind was biting, but it could not really penetrate into the northwest cinema.
Good food, good food, good income, and a job that is valued and satisfied with personal self-esteem. Not to mention smiling all day long, you will not have a little bit of resistance and boredom when facing work, and can welcome every day's work and overtime work at any time with the best attitude.
The overtime work that is most hated is very stressful in the cinema. Not only is it not resisted, it is also something that most people like and are willing to take the initiative to make efforts. Overtime pays a lot of overtime, who doesn’t want to come?
A truly five or six meters high and more than 30 meters long city wall was presented to everyone in a completed manner in less than two days. It is not a decoration, and the interior can be used as a city wall. For filming costume war films, this will be a good shooting venue for siege and defending the city. For "The Swordsman in the Snow", it is just an opening scene, a picture that can be synthesized with computer special effects. In Yang Yichen, a city wall and a city gate are really built.
Every day when shooting, there will be a rest area set up on site. Yang Yichen can endure hardship, but he will not deliberately make himself miserable if he has the conditions. With sufficient financial support and enough staff on site, he can set up a tent as a rest area at any time. Three RVs are supported in three directions. The efficiency of building is much easier than building a large rest tent alone. In one hour, it can not only be completed, but also place the items inside neatly.
Two sloppy and very bad-looking men came out. If you didn’t give a close-up, you wouldn’t have seen that these are big star Yang Yichen and big director Lao Touzi.
Xu Fengnian, the prince of Beiliang who returned from traveling for three years, led his horse and old servant Lao Huang.
"Prepare."
Today's extras are the first batch of "Northwest" to enter the cinema. According to Yang Yichen's rules, they are purely mixed-working. There are no shortages of young people who come here. Even if you say that I want to be a star, I want to make a lot of money. If you have a motivation to say that I want to make progress, that's fine. I'm afraid of those who are in corpses. Here, they just say that they can be regarded as a job. They have the purpose of being an extra. They will end up doing things quickly. After filming, I can get the money.
Yang Yichen is determined not to use this kind of person. Maybe in the extra, you won’t even give you a side face, but you are a member of this picture and you may not know much about performances, but at least you have to know that you are playing a role at this moment, so you should be in the state of this role.
A small wine shop, a place where vendors and barons gather. Today's scene is a not-so-hard scene for the beginning of the whole movie. Everyone has arranged it and the director's request continues, and they are ready to start filming.
"Well, the simple way to deal with it is also good." Yang Yichen hung up the phone. Just now, Zhang Qingxin called a phone call. A desperate foreigner arrived at Reguo. At the scene of the Reguo costume drama filmed by imitating the script of Snow Swordsman Strike, a time bomb exploded, and the crew killed three people and injured five people. The murderer easily left Reguo. The drama was directly stopped from filming.
Zhang Qingxin's routine has also become simple, and he has also come out of the realm. In the past, I was in a good mood and played first. If I was in a bad mood, I would just slaughter it. Now it seems that I regard such struggle as an art, and I should use the simplest way to deal with problems. It is completely unconventional. If you think this is good, I will not do this. I will use the way I think it is fun.
After hanging up the phone, Yang Yichen didn't think about that. He was a soldier who was coming to block the water and soil, and the money was ready, and the people were ready. As long as you move, even if it was thunderous, I had certain rules. Even if I couldn't handle my brother group being destroyed by you in an instant, I had enough strength to counterattack. I couldn't defend, which did not mean that I could not attack. So, don't mess with me, my life was boring. Apart from filming movies and playing games, there were really no other entertainment activities. Let the little fish and shrimp around me first, just treat it as playing games with me, and look forward to how big the scene you can start with the game.
"Come on, this is our first scene. Let's try to get it all over. At noon, I'll ask everyone to use spicy beef, kill two beefs and stew them. Are you interested?"
"have."
Everything was ready, accompanied by a sound of a board, "The Strong Things in the Snow" officially started filming. In order to get a good start, I could have filmed some plots of the royal palace before, but I didn't even shoot them, so I had to let the boss have the first scene.
"Waiter, serve wine."
"The last general Qi Dangguo met with the Prince of Northern Liang."
The scene of the prince's return was filmed calmly, not as grand as everyone imagined, nor as Yang Yichen's acting skills exploded, not even many close-ups, a very ordinary movie scene outside the northwest border.
"Card!"
After that, Yang Yichen became excited, stood up, pulled off the torn clothes on his body, and also pulled off the sticky beard. In this return plot, there is a real big drama, that is, the scene where Qi Dangguo took the Beiliang Iron Cavalry out of the city to welcome Xu Fengnian.
There are two types of cavalry in the world, the Northern Liang cavalry and the cavalry other than the Northern Liang cavalry.
At the beginning, there was a chance to show that the Northern Liang cavalry was the best in the world. Of course, Yang Yichen would not miss the shooting of this scene. Hu Jun's shot needs to be shot separately. In addition to close-ups, he needed to use a substitute. Two hundred Northern Liang cavalry roared out from the Chengmen, and Qi Dangguo carried the Beiliang King Banner.
With two hundred cavalry, Yang Yichen really got two hundred tall horses and real equestrian masters, all wearing armor and dressed up as Northern Liang cavalry.
This is the case when shooting movies. Maybe you only see a few seconds of pictures in the cinema, but it is common to spend a few hours in shooting. This is why many people just think that the plots are different when watching TV series, and they will feel that the heights are obvious when watching movies. One thing is worse, but the other thing is worse after a movie.
When shooting two hundred riders roaring over, there is also a structure. The most important thing is to rush over and have the aura of awesomeness. How to express it in the movie is to bring a little neatness and then use the camera to switch to present a relatively cruel picture, which makes people feel that Beiliang iron hooves are trampling beside them.
Two hundred horses, only Yang Yichen will take a shot. There are only a few people who dare to play such a big deal in China. The key is that this is not a scene of a decisive battle. It is understandable how many resources you use, but this is just the beginning. Twenty or thirty riders, using the angle of the camera, it feels very simple to shoot dozens of riders. If you take a little more attentively, the effect will be better.
When we arrived at Yang Yichen, we directly compared a one-to-one story script with reality. We felt that he was wasting a lot of people. We had an air shooting machine, so why did we have to use a helicopter to shoot? You have more horses and knights under you. You can understand why in the sky?
Can Yang Yichen tell them that good photographers are different from what they take from handheld cameras and air shooting machines? How many people can see the real difference?
Yang Yichen whistled, and a hawk in the movie drew a very gorgeous curve from the air and landed directly on his arm. The person who knew the knowledgeable people next to him secretly sucked in the air. This big boss played like anything. For the sake of the role, he even played hawks. He also heard that he had raised it for half a year. I really don’t know what he was thinking in his mind. Do you need to prepare so much for a movie?
If someone really asks Yang Yichen, he will answer that you don’t need it. He just tries some fresh and fun things in the name of making movies. The hawk can directly grab a piece of flesh's claws and land on his arm, but the sleeves of the military coat are unlucky, and his arm will not leave any trace.
The number of two hundred sounds nothing at first. Many domestic movies are all big scenes, hundreds or hundreds of extras to look for. This is no longer a fuss in the Chinese film circle. Everyone just thinks that Yang Yichen is a bit wasteful, but when these two hundred cavalry really show a rushing momentum. When they whistled out of the gate under the city wall, the tremor on the ground was clearly transmitted to everyone's feet. Looking at the iron cavalry that was rushing towards them like dark clouds covering the sun, many people subconsciously took a few steps back. This thought is, reality is reality, and the feeling of the two cavalry roaring towards each other is too shocking. It is much more shocking than the scene of hundreds of people standing there wearing armor and weapons. Both sides are not at the same level at all.
"No, please contact the nearby troops and ask if there are any old soldiers who can ride horses among them. Just ten people, not ten, five are fine. I want to give the front and another close-up shot of the whole body. I want to take a look on their faces. Brother Hu, you have to go on the battle yourself, right?"
Regarding Yang Yichen's request, no matter what the people below think, their first reaction is to execute. The habits they have developed over the years, what the boss says, if you have different opinions or what, do you do, and do not delay the execution time.
Hu Jun's face looked a little pale. He thought about his riding skills and nodded, saying that he had no problems either.
"I don't want to fake it, it's really a close-up shot taken during the running. Prepare the car and the speed can be reduced, but the shooting cannot be faked."
When Yang Yichen asked this, Hu Jun's agent was a little worried. He just played a cameo role, so there was no need to play such a dangerous thing, right? He wanted to speak, but was afraid of offending Yang Yichen, but he couldn't speak, so he had to call Hu Jun aside first and wanted to discuss with him.
Hu Jun thought about it and said that the danger would not be too great. For the sake of the effect of the video, I filmed and explained to his agent: "Maybe, this is the real secret to his success."
