After getting Shidi at the start

Chapter 114 Wu Jing's martial arts
As a director, Wu Jing is definitely not very professional.

After all, he became a monk halfway, but he followed so many crews before, and he has been learning all the time.

In addition, he has accumulated experience in the first part of "Dragonborn" before, and now he is shooting the genre he is good at, so most of the time he can still hold the scenes.

Of course, compared to the first TV movie Xiaoguang said, this one has bigger scenes and more people, and Wu Jing is also the starring role while directing, so it is normal to have an executive director assistant.

However, compared to some writers who cross over to direct, and often have more than ten or twenty assistant directors and executive directors, Wu Jing is already kind. At least Li Mingji really saw him on the set. He instructs everyone on how to do it, and most of them also demonstrate it personally when it comes to action scenes.

It's just limited to his own shortcomings in acting skills, he can only rely on the executive director's help in literary and drama aspects, he also has self-knowledge, and will not be a good teacher.

Fortunately, there is a part of the literary drama in this drama, but it is not the focus, let alone the highlight, it mainly focuses on the action drama.

Although this is considered a military-themed movie, it should be classified as an action movie in general. It is a bit like a foreign action blockbuster, which takes the line of individual heroism, so the protagonist's personal ability will be very prominent. , Action scenes are basically related to the protagonist.

And Wu Jing himself was born as an action actor and also worked as an action director. The actions in the film are the result of his participation in the discussion and arrangement.

As a result of holding several roles, Li Mingji can see Wu Jing's presence almost anywhere on the set, as busy as a squirrel about to spend the winter.

After Li Mingji arrived, Wu Jing first asked him to take a separate appearance, that is, after the protagonist was hunted down, he fled to this gathering place. The rich second generation played by Li Mingji appeared and accepted them.

The first scene was a rivalry scene with Wu Jing, so he waited for a while when he came to the crew, and the filming officially started after Wu Jing had arranged everything.

Then he acted like a "king of the mountain" as Wu Jing said.

I don’t know how it was done in the play, but actually set up a grand master’s chair in this gathering place, and then let Li Mingda sit on it, and Wu Jing and his party are under the stage, which looks like an ancient emperor receiving Subjects are general.

Although Wu Jing and the others are not vassals of Li Mingji, they can be regarded as temporary shelters for him, so although Wu Jing's character setting is relatively unruly, but for the sake of the old, weak, sick and disabled in the party, he still chooses to bow his head a little .

As for Li Mingji, because of the existence of the uncle bodyguard, it is this force guarantee that he can become a person that no one dares to provoke in the gathering place, so he absolutely trusts the uncle bodyguard and is willing to listen to his opinions.

Under his suggestion, Li Mingji's role as the rich second generation did not make things too difficult for Wu Jing and his party in the end, and agreed to take them in after asking about the situation.

This design is relatively reasonable, otherwise the character of the character may have to collapse.

However, this kind of contradictory way of getting along will of course bring some problems. If it is a TV series, it is estimated that it will make a fuss about it. It is not a problem to film ten episodes. Unfortunately, there is not so much space in the movie.

The bridge section of this gathering place is only a part of the film, and the total time will not exceed 10 minutes. This is actually the same time that Li Mingji appeared in the play.

Of course, because this episode is a group play, if only counting his appearance alone, it would probably last three to five minutes.

There were no action scenes in this section at the beginning, so it was basically left to the assistant director to control. Wu Jing knew how to use her strengths and avoid weaknesses, and she didn't have to do everything herself.

Just like what he thought of when he saw the script before, Li Mingji felt that the character of this character fit him very well, and he was actually playing himself.

Although he himself is not a rich second generation, but he has a dark belly and a bit sullen personality, which cannot be said to be exactly the same, but is completely consistent.

In terms of words and deeds, he really has his own shadow. Of course, in the eyes of those who originally knew Li Mingji, Brother Wang felt that it was a challenge to him.

But they could also see the changes he had made during this period, so they couldn't figure out for a while whether this was another side of his personality or just an act.

Moreover, Li Mingji also prepared some biographies before, and took time to read the script during the training camp to figure it out, so his first performance in the filming of the crew was not bad.

At least it's very natural to play against Wu Jing and others, and it's almost not a disadvantage.

Although the outside world often says that Wu Jingwen is not good at acting, which is the biggest obstacle that restricts him from advancing to the next level, but this is relative, and whether he can do it or not depends on who he compares with.

After all, after filming so many scenes, even if it is an abrupt pile of resources, as long as it is not absolute waste material, it can pile up some experience and acting skills. Besides, Wu Jing seems to be very hardworking and serious, and will listen to opinions and improve. that kind of person.

He may not be considered an old actor, but he definitely belongs to the capable group. Compared with many idols with zero acting skills, Wu Jing is completely instant kill.

And to be honest, Li Mingji feels that as long as he doesn't pretend to be cool, his acting skills will still be good. Of course, this is a story for another day.

This section was filmed three times, which is also a normal "guaranteed two", so it passed quickly, and the focus is on after that.

According to the plot, the following is the exchange between the protagonist played by Wu Jing and the "uncle bodyguard" next to the rich second generation—that is, the male number three of the film. Some of the gathering places and the background of this country are introduced.

This part has nothing to do with Li Mingji, as long as he just stands by and watches.

"Okay, that's all for today."

"thanks, thanks……"

The shooting task on the first day was relatively simple. Before leaving, Li Mingji bowed to the staff in a relaxed manner to thank him. After all, they had taken care of him before. No matter what the reason was, they had to respond politely.

Then the next day, according to the arrangement, he could rest during the day, while the crew continued to shoot another part of the scene, and then after it got dark, they began to prepare for the night scene.

According to the plot, that is, on the night when Wu Jing and his party came over, when everyone in the gathering place was sleeping soundly at night, they suddenly pursued and set fire to besiege.

This can be regarded as a slot of the protagonist's characteristics, which will bring disaster to those around him.

However, the gathering place that can survive in the chaotic background, how could it be that there is no preparation at all, not to mention guns and ammunition, and the danger also stimulated everyone's sense of resistance and potential, so everyone in the gathering place united with Wu Jing and his party Fight back.

However, the enemy's firepower was too strong and there were too many people. In the end, they had to retreat strategically and began to flee.

Of course, the night scene is actually only the first half of the whole battle, because according to the plot, the enemy launched an attack in the early morning, and it didn’t take long before dawn, so this part was filmed this night, and the rest returned to Shooting during the day.

However, these latter ones are basically group scenes. Most of the time, Li Mingji mixes in the crowd, and occasionally he shines alone.

For example, in the first gun battle, he was only trained in the gun club, and it was the first time he experienced the taste of a real gun battle. The change from the excitement at the beginning, to the nervousness, and finally to the firmness must be done. in place.

This scene combines with the flamboyant character when receiving Wu Jing, highlighting a theme of contradiction and "growth", which is also a point that can deepen the audience's sense of involvement - this is what Wu Jing said when introducing the character, and it was also what he wrote. The purpose of this role.

Of course, using the identity of the second generation of rich people is mainly to explain why they appear here, but the psychological changes of an ordinary person with just a little money when facing a critical situation can actually arouse a certain resonance.

"This place, I'll give you a separate long shot, so behave yourself!"

Wu Jing said so, but then he turned around and went to the "front line" with his gun on his shoulder. After all, he was the real protagonist of this scene.

In fact, it was an assistant director who was actually in charge of the filming of Li Mingji's scene.

Li Mingji could only run to the place he had planned for himself, and wait for the assistant director to call to start.

Different from TV drama shooting, TV dramas generally don’t choose to have too many camera positions to shoot at the same time. On the one hand, it is due to financial constraints, and on the other hand, it is not necessary.

Because of the camera movement, movies, especially such "big movies", may need at least three to four camera positions at the same time to ensure simultaneous shooting from different angles.

Now is not the film era, and there is no worry about burning the film, so it is king to shoot more spare shots.

As for the scene to be shot now, because the venue is too large and there are too many designers, it is required to switch shots, and there are four opportunities to shoot at the same time.

One is a long-range group portrait, one is a close-up group portrait, one is concentrated on Wu Jing, representing the protagonist of the hero, and the other is placed here on Li Mingji, representing "ordinary people".

After the filming started, Li Mingji also quickly entered the state, but with his current acting skills, even if the state is reached, it is still not so easy to show the emotional layering.

Fortunately, the deputy director would come over from time to time to talk to him about the play, so that he should not pay too much attention to the changes in his expression, and he could express it with small movements.

This coincided with Li Mingji's thoughts, so the next two paragraphs were NG and finally passed.

In the next ten days, the filming continued. Perhaps the effect of the previous training camp had played a role. Sometimes Li Mingji had to run around with a heavy firearm on his back for most of the time, and bumped into walls and climbed. In the end, I just felt a little tired.

In addition to filming, Li Mingji also opened his eyes in this crew and saw a lot of things that he had never thought of before.

Of course, it was Wu Jing who impressed Li Mingji the most.

I have to say that some actors really love this line of work as their life.

Compared with Weng Chenxi, Wu Jing's hard work and hard work are even more prominent.

As an action actor, Wu Jing has finally managed to stand out. When watching him filming, it feels like he is gathering energy. When filming the fighting scenes, it feels like he is risking his life.

Of course, compared with earlier years, the development of various technological industries has made some shootings much less difficult these days.

At that time, fighting for your life was really life-threatening. Now at least if the insurance measures are in place, the risk factor will be reduced a lot.

However, some actions were really violent, and even the villains used tanks to chase after them. In order to divert the attention of the villains so that others could leave safely, Wu Jing fled around on foot under the chase of the tanks drama code.

In comparison, Li Mingji suddenly felt that the "Bodyguard" he had shot before seemed a bit childish.

Of course, it’s not right to compare TV dramas with movies. The two are different genres, not to mention that they are both big investments in their respective genres. The “Bodyguard” is far inferior to the investment in Dragonborn 2, which does not include Use the power of the army.

In fact, it is also because of the support of the army. Although the production team is sometimes the same as martial law, it is more convenient in many ways.

Not only those firearms can be applied for use, but when group performances are needed, soldiers can come over to hold them directly, and even the head of the military region has a cameo appearance.

Of course, in the creative environment in China, there is a more important point, that is, more "dare" to shoot.

With the support of the background, it is easier to pass the review, and it doesn't matter if the content is bold, or you will be stuck to death just by submitting for review.

In the previous life, it was not uncommon for movies that were banned for three or five years to be deleted, deleted, modified, and then released again. On the other hand, ordinary people would not dare to touch certain sensitive subjects, but as long as there is a strong enough background support, let alone filming and screening Not to mention, it needs a lot of publicity to arouse the topic.

Of course, there are not a few films that are close to the "main theme" like this, so it depends on the quality of the film.

In addition, the release schedule and promotion of a movie are also important factors that determine the box office performance of the movie.

Li Mingji could only hope that his original intuition was right, and that there was a successful confirmation in his previous life, and it would be realized again here.

"You have worked hard these days..."

Although Wu Jing had a good impression of Li Mingji during the audition, which was an important reason for her decision to cast him, she was also worried that a newcomer like him who had never suffered much would not be able to stand it.

The hard work during the exercise is another thing. In the play, not only do you have to roll all over the floor and get disheartened, but you also have to be beaten in the middle.

But Li Mingji persisted in the end, and his performance made the assistant directors think it was okay, Wu Jing felt that it was already very unexpected.

And Li Mingji finished filming his own part, because there was still a scene on the other side and was about to leave the crew immediately, so he also came here specially to give it to him.

Li Mingji scratched his head and said: "It's okay, I just hope that my performance can keep up with the quality of the film, and it's fine if I don't get cut off by then."

Wu Jing laughed and said: "You are too arrogant, and I have to rely on you to attract people to the cinema. How can I not cut out your scenes? Isn't this scolding?"

Brother, what you said is too direct, right?

But Li Mingji also knew that he meant it as a joke, and he didn't mean to make fun of himself.

Wu Jing had to rush back to filming, and Li Mingji had to catch a plane back, so the two separated before talking.
