muscle actor

Chapter 8 No one is easy

"This pass!"

"Everyone worked hard!"

As the director called out, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the last explosion scene finally came to a successful conclusion.Several leading actors were covered in mud and went back to the hotel to take a shower.When Ding Cheng saw the second female secretly asking her manager to give her a red envelope to the double, it was a small thank you.

Liu Hongyi walked over, with a rare smile on his face, stuffed a big red envelope, patted Lao He on the shoulder and said: "Everyone has worked hard, the results are good."

After Lao He said a few polite words, Liu Hongyi told Wang Tian: "I can't drink. You can have a few drinks with me tonight, and we will start work again tomorrow afternoon."

The director left, Lao He's team was in charge of the finishing, Wang Tian grabbed Ding Cheng and said, "Don't try to slip away, you boy, come with me at night, and help me disperse some firepower!"

Ding Cheng could only nod his head, saying that his alcohol capacity was not bad, because he was afraid of getting a hangover and headache, so he didn't drink often.Now that he is a young man, he can think highly of himself, drink with him, and get to know the inside story of the circle.

After helping to clean up, everyone came to the nearby hotel, luxury private rooms, abalone bird's nest, five bottles of Moutai, according to Wang Tian's words, there is no need to save money for investors.

Ding Cheng was in charge of pouring wine to accompany the guests. They were all acquaintances, and the atmosphere quickly became lively.Lao He has been with many production crews, and the well-informed old fried dough sticks, let alone Wang Tian, ​​chat while eating, Ding Cheng pricks up his ears and only listens to gossip.

"There are very few experienced masters in our industry. Some crews don't want to spend a few seconds just to save money and just hire people to do it. This phenomenon is not surprising."

Lao He burped, blushed, and complained: "Those half-baked things not only make the actors' safety unsafe, but also the operators themselves are very dangerous. Back then, a certain blasting worker in Shaw found that the warehouse was full of explosives, so he moved to the yard to dry in a whimsical way. Dry it, and it was blown up."

"There is also that actor named Xie Junhao, who burned his face when filming the Secret History of Concubine Yang Gui, Huang Qiusheng was so angry that he scolded the crew for being too unprofessional in shooting fire scenes, hey, there is no way."

Ding Cheng filled Lao He with wine, and continued: "To put it bluntly, the mainland is still unprofessional. If it is in someone else's Hong Kong Island crew, in addition to practicing demolitionists, they will even invite active firefighters to supervise and guide the scene. Over the years, few Surprise."

Wang Tian clinked a glass of wine to Lao He, motioned for Ding Cheng to open another bottle, and chatted: "I have worked with Lu Huiguang, the imperial martial arts assistant of my elder brother. If you want to explode a motorcycle in the family class, you must prepare several motorcycles in advance. It’s not bad at all to test the explosion.”

Ding Cheng himself is also full of wine, Lu Huiguang?Isn't he the one in Drunken Fist who kicks his legs into the sky?
"Big directors are very cautious. They would rather spend more money than have accidents." Lao He said with a smile: "When the ruffian hero was filming an explosion scene, Cai Yuexun hired the Hong Kong Island explosion team at a high price. From the front, design, setting, From interior decoration, special glass for explosions to gunpowder, pipelines, protection, and fire trucks, it is almost NT$500 million, accounting for nearly 1/10 of the total budget of the entire drama.”

"I was helping on the scene at the time. I remember a scene where an army passed by the woods, and then there was a sudden explosion next to it, and everyone was scattered. The cannon master who controlled the explosion held the controller while dialing, and said in his mouth: Blow you to death! Blow you all to death !"

"I was terrified at the time. Later, I found out that most of the cannon kings are veterans. They play with explosives all day long, and their brains are not normal. It is easy to imagine that they are fighting?"

Everyone roared with laughter, Ding Cheng was covered in cold sweat, you are indeed a pervert!
"The big directors in mainland China are not short of money now. Last time Director Feng's Fang Hua cost 700 million yuan for a 6-minute play. Isn't it awesome?"

Wuyou said enviously: "In that scene, the main character was shot in the arm, the artery was punctured and he insisted on saving people. It lasted 6 minutes in one shot. Even Saving Private Ryan and Hacksaw Ridge were not so big! "

"Hey, they all invited the Korean team, and the leader is Zheng Daoan." Lao He said with a wry smile: "It's not just Fanghua. From the assembly number onwards, he specifically found them. It seems that it was because he had seen the movie called "Taichi Flag Flying" back then. movie of?"

"Bangzi played a big role. In the two main scenes, the director asked to strive for realism. They were all exploding scenes around the characters. No fireworks were used in the whole process, and the pieces were directly added!"

"They were also filming 1942. They started to put on makeup at three o'clock at night in a scene. There were 1000 or [-] people. They even wore makeup and costumes, winter!"

"The blasting special effects had to be buried a few days in advance. The first time the bombing site was buried for a full week, the shooting was done for one day. The second day was partial, and the shooting stopped, re-burying the bombing site, and then shooting the second Twice."

"Actually, the director also wanted to use our domestic special effects team for the first time, but the bombing site was buried in eight or nine days, and a blasting bombing was not filmed?"

Lao He took a sip of the wine and said helplessly, "Hey, the craftsmanship is not good!"

Wang Tian slapped the table and said loudly: "The director is still awesome, the salary of all the actors in the assembly number is only 100 million yuan, and the rest of the money is all spent on the camera, can there be no effect?"

Lao He filled Wang Tian with wine, and continued: "Your crew is okay, at least the guns are rented from Bayi Factory, and they can bluff people with their looks. I have also seen many small crews who have no money and only Can be done with props."

"Even if all blank bullets are used, there will be at least a few thousand rounds in the whole film, and tens of thousands more. The price of each type of bullet is different. Copper shell bullets are the most expensive, and the number of bullets is less. In the later stage, it can only be equipped with a computer to draw fire. See It's called a fake, no wonder the audience scolded their mothers..."

Ding Cheng saw that Wang Tian was drinking too hard and was a little drunk, so he quickly helped to disperse the fire.During this period of time, I learned a lot from the group.Rifles are generally used by martial arts practitioners, and Xiaoliu and the others can basically use them, as long as they fire bullets.

All kinds of bodies are shot in the camera, and they all rely on themselves to explode blood packs according to the direction. Usually, the killing is done by martial arts, and the money earned is life-threatening.

The lead actor usually uses a pistol, and a special person personally supervises the loading and checks the safety of the ammunition.Shoot the gun first, and then shoot the person shot. If it doesn't work, you can only draw fire.

There are also three, six or nine grades of bombs. Use a sieve to sift out all the small stones in the mud, and then put them into a directional iron pot. They are called soil bombs. Fire bombs are made of charcoal ash and explosives. Gray bombs are made of cement ash and explosives. The impact point is Relatively advanced, cement ash plus small blasting detonator.

The pistol can fire eight rounds in a row, which is the limit, because the spring is not good and the bullets cannot be loaded.Normally, I load five rounds, stop the machine after shooting, and continue loading before shooting.There are fewer rifles, load three first, and many of the rented rifle grappling hooks are rusty.

The lead actor is okay, but the other minor characters can't even touch a real gun throughout the whole movie.The male protagonists are all equipped with real guns, and the martial arts actors next to them are also equipped with real guns to react.

It's hard to say about actresses, whether they are dedicated or not.For example, the second girl, who is so delicate all day long, actually thinks the real gun is too heavy to lift?

Wang Tian took a sip of water, probably drunk too much, blushed and scolded: "Why the hell is the price not raised now? The whole movie hasn't been filmed yet, and the money has been divided by these main actors. Not enough post-production!"

"Today's TV dramas basically have no synchronization and are all post-production because the cost is too high. One more day will cost hundreds of thousands. Coupled with all kinds of corruption and corruption, if the filming is not good, the audience will curse, damn... "

Ding Cheng hurriedly delivered a hot towel, shut his mouth before talking, at least Wang Tian calmed down, took a look at Ding Cheng, and said with a long sigh: "The staff are exhausted and earn five or six thousand yuan, and group performances are 80 yuan a day, and they have to be arrested in the middle." The group leader draws water, food is not included, and they work 12 hours a day, and if they are unlucky, it is normal to stay up all night."

"It's better for your firearms team and blasters. Come when you need it, and don't go to the set when you don't need it. Other departments are exposed to wind and rain, and now the audience is not stupid. They are monkeys and monkeys. You have to explain all the plots clearly. I like to look for bugs specifically, but it’s so difficult!”

Seeing that the four bottles of Moutai had bottomed out, Ding Cheng asked the waiter to serve two pots of Longjing to wake Wang Tian up.The assistant director seems to be beautiful, but in fact, he also has difficulties. He is scolded by the director at any time, what a shitty dignity.

Wang Tian is very capable and rarely misses the mark. This is the main reason why Liu Hongyi specially invited him to help.There are also two assistant directors sent by the investors to supervise. Not to mention their professional abilities, they don't even know how to read the camera.

Coupled with various human relations, interest entanglements, and actors' backgrounds, all in all, it is very chaotic and deep.Ding Cheng finally understood a truth: it doesn't mean that you take good pictures, everyone will revolve around you.

Even if you work hard to finish filming, you may not be able to get it on TV. With so many TV series and movies being made every year, how many of them can the audience really see?

Audiences often complain, why can't they see their favorite stars?
It’s not that you can’t see it, people are also working hard on filming, but it’s a pity that it can’t be released for various reasons. Who can the actors talk to for explanation?
