Bright Star Road [Entertainment]

The coolest thing about making movies is that you can travel everywhere. Of course, the places where directors take actors to "tour" are basically places that are inaccessible.Because with the prevalence of film spectacle theory, big scenes and unfamiliar scenes have become the best shooting scenes pursued by directors.Although some people say that we can do it with a computer in a studio.You know, today's TV is basically produced in a studio.Except for a few close-up props that are real or imitated, the street scenes, snowy mountain views, etc. are all made by computer.The advantage of this kind of production is that it can save costs. After all, if you pull a crew to the Himalayas to shoot, whether it is hard costs or various risk control costs and unpredictable costs are very high; but you are in the studio. If you make one, the cost is almost a fraction of the cost.

But this also means a problem, TV dramas cannot shoot big scenes.This kind of computer-made scenes can be refined in small scenes, but when it comes to large scenes, the cost of refinement can drag down the budget of a TV series.Therefore, the film producers can unscrupulously use big scenes to laugh at the smallness of the TV series. For example, there are three main scenes in Zhang Mouyi's "Xia" this time: one is the Qin Palace built by Zhang Mouyi at a cost of millions; The Gobi Desert on the edge of the Taklamakan Desert; there is also a wetland near the Gobi Desert. Zhang Mouyi spent nearly one million to transplant a maple forest.The distances between these main scenes are not far, and the leading actors all have their own RVs, so there is no big problem in terms of accommodation.

"Mr. Li, isn't it too hot and dry here?" Peng Duoli complained the first thing she said when she got out of the RV.

It's no wonder that Peng Duoli couldn't bear it. Donghai City is indeed one of the few cities most favored by heaven.It is near the sea, and there are mountains, water and rivers, so the humidity is sufficient.In addition, Donghai City has moved heavy industrial projects out of the city since 30 years ago, so the air pollution index in Donghai City is extremely low.Although we are occasionally harassed by typhoons every year, fortunately there are still a few half-sized islands facing the typhoon, so we have never encountered a typhoon that can really go ashore and trouble Donghai City.

Running from a world-class forest garden city to the Great Gobi, no wonder Peng Duoli couldn't bear it.Fortunately, the large RV purchased by the company has also arrived. In line with Li Wei's character of buying the best, this RV is the legendary double-decker RV.However, Li Wei removed some of the entertainment functions when refitting, such as the original swimming pool in the car was cancelled, and instead, two small single rooms were newly built on the first floor of the car, so that Peng Duoli and Li Ke have two small rooms. The assistant doesn't have to sleep on the sofa.The overall color of the car is blue sky and white clouds, but the golden unicorn icon at the rear of the car made Li Wei complain endlessly.However, Su Li said that this is a company promotional material to attract others to join the company.

"There is no way, who told us that director Zhang Mouyi is from the Northwest?" Li Wei also felt the heat wave when he came out of the RV, and at the same time, the yellow sand in the sky pricked his skin like needles, and the moisture in the skin seemed to be Quickly evaporate to dryness.

Li Wei is very clear that directors tend to seek their roots.As directors become more and more famous, the similarity of directors' works will become higher and higher.Zhang Mouyi's works debuted as adaptations of novels by Northwest writers, and won many domestic and international awards.Although director Zhang Mouyi filmed a large number of works that had nothing to do with Northwest due to one reason or another in the mid-term, after Zhang Mouyi gradually became a representative director in Asia, his tendency to seek roots in his works became more and more obvious.

This "Xia" tells the story of Qin Shihuang, the first emperor of China, and Qin Shihuang is naturally the emperor who made his fortune in the northwest.Li Wei looked around, and this was already the periphery of the filming area, a place for actors and production crew to rest.The main actors are all in a caravan, and the rest of the actors are arranged in a fast hotel here.Although it is called an express hotel, many actors complain that it is not as good as the basement.

But there is only such a condition here, so everyone just endured it.Except for the somewhat dilapidated three-story express hotel that was rented out as the crew's office space and actors' rooms, the square outside the hotel was lined with these RVs.The director's RV is with the hero and heroine, and the RVs of the other three supporting characters are on the other side.Li Wei's was next to the actress who had just made her name in the world, but she hid in her RV except for filming.

Peng Duoli heard the gossip from others, and learned it for Li Wei when she came back, "She is so delicate! Let me tell you, Mr. Li, there are at least four humidifiers in her RV. When filming, you must have fresh fruits and Ice water, and a wet towel to apply to her face at any time. As long as the camera does not shoot her, she needs an assistant to hold a parasol. Once back in the caravan, she will use ice-cold aloe vera gel to apply to her face, and apply a mask at least three times a day."

"You've been telling me for so long, so you think I've arranged too few things for you?" Li Wei squinted her peach blossom eyes and looked at Peng Duoli, "In the future, you'll have to bring a parasol and iced juice to Wait for me on the set. Once the machine stops, you have to help me block the sun and feed me juice with moisturizing and whitening effects. When I get home, I will also have iced aloe vera gel and iced repairing whitening mask."

"Mr. Li, you are not such a delicate person!" Peng Duoli looked at Li Wei in horror.

As one of Li Wei's assistants, Peng Duoli certainly knew that the company's major shareholder was Li Wei, but Li Wei had never put on airs with everyone, and even invited his colleagues to have afternoon tea from time to time.This time, in order to take care of myself, some entertainment functions were deliberately removed from the RV, and two single rooms were added.Peng Duoli heard from other assistants that the hotel arranged by the crew was terrible.

The actor's room was slightly better, their assistant's room was unbearable, the hot water sometimes didn't work, and the pillows had a terrible smell.Thinking of this, Peng Duoli immediately swallowed the words that she was about to complain that the single room in her caravan was not big enough.Anyway, the bed is still very comfortable, and there is hot water in the shower room in the caravan for taking a shower at any time.Importantly, there is air conditioning!You must know that there is only a fan in their assistant's room. In this kind of desert, it is simply unbearable to have no air conditioner.

Li Wei plays an assassin in Xia Li. This assassin has been working with two other assassins for the purpose of assassinating King Qin.

Three years ago, these three assassins teamed up to fight in front of the King of Qin, but their success fell short because of a certain assassin's letting go.From then on, the three assassins went their own way, and the man in white robe who was in a certain mansion at this time was one of the assassins, Bai Ge.People in Qin still prefer black, but Bai Ge prefers white.As soon as Li Wei's white clothes came out, he was extraordinarily heroic.In fact, most of the screen characters played by Li Wei are a bit "feminine", which also makes Zhang Mouyi a little worried.Because according to Zhang Mouyi's setting, Bai Ge is a handsome, tall, masculine and majestic male assassin, and Zhang Mouyi also let Bai Ge use a gun.The gun is the king of a hundred soldiers, which just fits Bai Ge's character setting.

Fortunately, the makeup artist who works with Zhang Mouyi is also someone who has been used to it for many years. Of course, he understands Zhang Mouyi's needs.He looked at Li Wei's face, first lowered Li Wei's skin tone by a few shades, and added a little wrinkle at the same time.After all, the lifespan of ancient people was relatively limited. Even a 25-year-old person looked aging in ancient times.At the same time, he also modified the shape of Li Wei's eyebrows and eyes, as well as his lips.

After the makeup was revised, the feminine beauty on Li Wei's face was completely covered, while the masculine beauty was highlighted very well.Zhang Mouyi was surprised when Li Wei came out after putting on makeup and changing clothes.Although he still knew that the person in front of him was Li Wei, but Li Wei's femininity had completely disappeared, leaving only that handsome and masculine beauty.

"That's right! This is what I want Bai Ge to look like." Zhang Mouyi clapped his hands, "Has Lian Jie arrived yet? You guys try the tricks according to the martial arts instructor's routine. If there is no problem, we will start shooting. The climate of this ghost place , finish filming early and call it a day!"

Under Zhang Mouyi's order, two martial arts instructors pretended to be Bai Ge with a gun, and pretended to be Wuming with a sword.The two played tricks in the field, not only Li Weihe and Lian were memorizing the tricks, but also how to take the camera position for photography.After the two martial arts instructors finished walking, Li Wei and Lian Jie started to follow the routine.But Lian Jie had a disciple who learned martial arts, and Li Wei also had a disciple who learned dance. During the rehearsal, the two found that there seemed to be many places where they didn't enjoy themselves.

Lian Jie said: "The difficulty of the movements can be increased a bit. I think Li Wei and I have more limits than that. Especially Li Wei, I can see that he is very suitable for that kind of ostentatious moves. You are designing the movements. When we are playing, we can make our fighting movements a little more fancy, so that the shots we shoot will look much better."

Martial arts films have actually gone through three stages: traditional martial arts, new martial arts, and contemporary martial arts.Traditional martial arts film and television works are real combat, and the actors and actresses who are on camera more or less have a little bit of kung fu background; new martial arts uses Wia technology, and the masters directly fly around and then blow up.As an innovation of traditional martial arts, new martial arts has been loved by everyone from the very beginning.But as film directors become more and more imaginative, new martial arts become more and more "immortal", and martial arts masters are more and more like fighting between gods, gradually losing the connotation of martial arts.However, contemporary martial arts use technology as an auxiliary means, and the combat between moves is still based on real martial arts.

Although contemporary martial arts is the return of new martial arts to traditional martial arts, it is undeniable that audiences still like to watch that kind of fancy tricks.However, the more fancy moves, the higher the requirements for the performers, so martial arts instruction generally starts with the relatively simple moves.Now I hear that the actors are a little dissatisfied with this kind of performance, so the martial arts director also took out his own efforts.The martial finger holding the gun drew out a gun flower from time to time, and turned back to the carbine at every turn; the figure holding the sword was more elegant, and at the same time the sword in his hand was getting faster and faster.

After Lian Jie and Li Wei watched it, they first went down and followed the martial arts instructions slowly, and found that they had memorized them.So the two of them went through it at a normal speed, and this time the movement was much more beautiful.And the photographer has also identified the position of the camera movement, and there is no problem with the surrounding cooperation.After Zhang Mouyi confirmed, Li Wei and Lian Jie began to officially shoot.

On the monitor, two men fought.Wuming with the sword killed gracefully and fiercely, while Bai Ge with the gun killed fiercely and domineeringly.Unlike Xiao Fei and the master Dongfang's kung fu, Li Wei has completely shed her softness and immaturity this time, and is completely a killer demeanor.Bai Ge didn't seek complicated moves, but only pursued the effectiveness of moves. The point of the spear was not far from Wuming's vitals, which made even Jie break out in a cold sweat.
