Dare to cook

Chapter 110 The filmmaker really knows how to play

The next day.

Early in the morning, five o'clock.

It's not bright yet, and only a hint of fish belly white appears in the distant sky.

Moxing Mountain, outside the Chaoguo Temple, the temporary studio is already busy.

"Hurry up, the shooting track must be laid within half an hour!"

"Wia team, check all the equipment again, and no more troubles will be allowed today!"

"Props master, where is the props master!"

A field worker replied: "Director Song, the prop master found that he didn't bring enough liquid nitrogen, so he went back to get liquid nitrogen."

Liquid nitrogen, that is, liquid nitrogen.

This thing, like dry ice, is the main material for creating stage smoke effects.

"As soon as the prop master comes back, let him come to see me!" The assistant director Song Hemin cursed a few times after hearing this, and continued to patrol the various departments on the set anxiously.

Song Hemin is Li Xungui's confidant, and he is also the person who has the most say in this crew besides the director and producer.

Yesterday, Li Xungui was accidentally injured, which made Song Hemin even more stressed.

The director and male number one fell down, but the crew couldn't be messed up.

Not only can there be no chaos, but Song Hemin has to help Li Xungui film the remaining scenes as soon as possible.

However, it is not easy to do this.

The off-road vehicle that broke into the set yesterday while drunk and knocked over the Wia machine was really strange.

This is the Moxing Mountain Scenic Area, surrounded by temples and no bars.

According to common sense, how could someone drink and drive here?And it just happened to knock over the Wia machine.

Even though yesterday's driver claimed after he sobered up that he just wanted to come and blow some time on Mt. Mount Moses, things still felt odd.

So suspicious.

After the ins and outs of Li Xungui's injury on the set were posted on the Internet, it caused an uproar.

Many people speculated on the Internet, saying that Li Xungui must have provoked someone, otherwise this kind of thing would not have happened.

It is precisely because of the appearance of this kind of remarks that the hearts of the current crew are fluctuating.

Since the most critical scene has not yet been filmed, investors and crew members who were originally confident in the film were a little worried and anxious.

Although Li Xungui posted on Weibo last night, telling his fans that he was only slightly injured.

But Song Hemin knew very well that Li Xungui's injury was not serious.

Li Xungui will not be able to walk normally for at least the next month.Within two months, he could not do any strenuous running and jumping.

two months...

If there is no suitable stand-in to film the last key scene, then the subsequent editing, dubbing, submission for review, and publicity work of the entire drama will be disrupted.

If you miss the summer release in August, it will be difficult to find a release date without strong competitors.

Moreover, if it is delayed for too long, there may be more uncertain and unfavorable factors.

Thinking of this, Song Hemin, who invested 200 million into the crew, became even more worried.

……

When Song Hemin was worried and was patrolling the crew in Yalishan, three nanny cars were also coming from the direction of the city.

Among them, Li Xungui and Yao Yu sat in the back row of the second nanny car.

The last two scenes of "Jiu Xiao Xing Hong Lu" have requirements for the effect of shooting pictures, and they can only be shot when it is cloudy or when the sun is not yet high.

So today's crew members rushed to the set early to set up.And several leading actors, including Yao Yu, had to enter the mountain as soon as possible.

Yao Yu looked at Li Xungui's right leg which was in plaster, and said, "Can you go to the set if you look like this?"

Li Xungui said:

"I can't do it if I don't go. People in the crew are a little flustered now. If I'm not here, Lao Song may not be able to control the scene."

"Besides, you're taking my place in the leading role this time. If the assistant director and action director have any objections to you during filming, it's not easy to mediate without my presence."

Yao Yu looked at the script in his hand again:

"I still think your film is unreliable. I won't talk about the plot. There is a problem with your filming location."

"The Shushan Sword Palace in the original book is between the strange peaks and steep mountains."

"But the Moxing Mountain you chose has a maximum altitude of more than 200 meters. There is no decent scenery near the filming location. If the camera lens is raised higher, it may even capture the modern buildings at the foot of the mountain."

"It's such an unremarkable place, and you actually chose it to film the highlight of the decisive battle."

Li Xungui joked:

"Old Yao, do you have a lot of insight into filming? You don't look like someone who doesn't want to get involved in the film and television industry at all."

"Get out. Don't blame me for falling out with you if you bring this up again!" Yao Yu rolled his eyes.

Li Xungui smiled and said:
"Actually, whether it's filming fairy tales or sci-fi dramas, the key is to look at the post-production special effects."

"Are the special effects sets of "The Wandering Earth" in the past considered outstanding? They were all made in an indoor studio."

"My current "Nine Heavens" also has to rely on special effects to support it."

"Many scenes in this film have already been filmed indoors."

"On the other side of Shu, people were also sent to take some distant pictures."

"But those distant scenes, as well as the scenes we are about to shoot outdoors, must be edited through computer synthesis, screen splicing, and special effects rendering in order to achieve the final desired effect."

"In this case, why don't you all shoot in the studio?" Yao Yu asked.

"Because we have to strive for truth." Li Xungui said:
"The combination of virtual and real can make the film look like that. If temples, palaces, and gardens and ancient buildings also need to be built indoors, the amount of work will be too large."

"In the original book, there is an ancient temple in the space of Shushan Sword Palace."

"According to the requirements of the plot, when Gu Shangyin and Lu Mengsheng fought in the decisive battle, they would penetrate the entire ancient temple. That's why we chose to shoot this scene outside the Chaoguo Temple."

"When the filming starts, as the plot progresses, both you and Lu Mengsheng played by Lao Feng will fly into the Chaoguo Temple to 'demolish the temple' while fighting."

Demolish... demolish the temple...

Yao Yu was speechless.

Of course he knew that it was impossible to really demolish the temple.

But I still want to say one thing at this moment: You guys are really good at making movies.

Talking about it...

Now that Li Xungui was confident, Yao Yu didn't bother to ask any more questions.

After all, Li Guapi is a professional.

And this is not the first time Li Xungui has directed a movie.

The works that have been shot before have not rushed to the street.

What to do, Li Xungui and the crew must know better than himself.

And what he can do now is to shoot these two scenes well, then complete the task, take the reward and leave.

……

Two 10 minutes later.

Yao Yu, Jiang Yuqi, Feng Ziyi and other leading actors arrived at the set by car.

After the nanny car was parked, Li Xungui's driver immediately took out the wheelchair from the trunk, and then helped him to sit on the wheelchair.

Then, assistant Xiao An pushed the wheelchair.

Everyone walked into the studio together.

Li Xungui has great prestige in the crew.

Seeing that the director returned to the crew with injuries, many people came to greet him with concern, or pretending to be concerned:
"Hi Director Li!"

"Hello Brother Li!"

"Director, are your legs okay?"

The assistant director Song Hemin also trotted over and said, "Boss, the preparations have been completed and we can shoot anytime."
