Big director

The campsite they chose was a small valley with gentle slopes in the middle of the three peaks. Not far away was a cave in the shape of a giant mouth. The cave was not too deep, and it could be seen to the bottom at a glance. It was covered by vines with small purple flowers. Hanging down covertly, the guide explained that if the weather is bad, such as rain or something, you can temporarily go to the cave to avoid it.Because it is not the rainy season, even if there is rain, it will be showers, so there is no need to worry.

On the left hand side, there is a stream more than one meter wide flowing slowly through the gap between the two mountains. If you go up the stream, at most 500 meters, there will be a waterfall with a drop of more than 30 meters. The locals It is directly called the Water Curtain Cave, because the scenic spot has not been fully developed, so that it is not well-known, but it is definitely not worse than any "Water Curtain Cave".There is a deep pool formed by alluvial under the waterfall, in which there is a small palm-length whitebait, which tastes great.

And go a little further to the famous Huanglong Cave in Zhangjiajie.Huanglong Cave is 7.5 kilometers long, and it is divided into four floors. There are holes in the cave, rivers in the cave, mountains in the cave, and waterfalls in the cave. Stalagmites, stone pillars, and stalactites are dazzling and beautiful. , it can be said that any geological wonder can find a model in it, it can be said to be all-encompassing, and it is praised by many people as a magical underground magic palace.

In Zhu Zimo's plan, Huanglong Cave is a very important location for viewing.Change the shape a little, Tiangong, Difu, Fairy Cave, you don’t need to bother looking for any other places, a Huanglong Cave can handle it all... When it is shot, it must be very spectacular!

After they had lunch, it was almost two o'clock in the afternoon.

No more nonsense, the props team began to arrange the scene under the command of the director, the photographer set up the camera to adjust the focus and color tone, and the makeup artists went to apply makeup to the actors who were about to appear on the screen. The actors sat down honestly and let the makeup artists I smeared it on my face while silently reading the lines of the first act in my heart, so as not to forget it temporarily during the scene and make the director go crazy.

In the novel, "Legend of Wukong" is a chaotic timeline. It is likely that the last paragraph is still talking about the monkeys rioting in the Heavenly Palace 500 years ago. It will also describe how marshal Tianpeng and Ah Yue have stayed together silently for tens of thousands of years, and then immediately a lazy pig is swaying and refusing to ask for alms.

It is similar to the montage in the movie.

In the first shot of the boot, the four master and apprentice walked into a dense forest, and there was no way ahead.

Tang Seng asked Wukong to find something to eat, but Wukong said that he was busy looking at the sunset and refused to go. Zhu Bajie told Wukong not to bully the bald man, lest he starve to death and starve him to death. The curse can never be lifted... A monkey and a pig first Bickering, and then fighting, Monk Sha next to them told them to go away and quarrel, so as not to disturb his sleep - so Tang Seng could only find food by himself, "It's better to let the monster eat me, then you can cry!" Three A monster laughed gloatingly from behind.

It's a very simple scene, but the rules of the film and television industry are like this. In order to get a good start, the first scene arranged by the director is usually very simple. Everyone passes it at once, and the director is happy. The actors below will have a better life in the future.Although Zhu Zimo came from the future, he didn't want to be special, and went to the countryside to do as the Romans did.

Makeup took over an hour.

This still simplifies a lot of steps. After all, the preliminary preparations are not in vain. The masters of China and the West have been competing for so many days. Not only has the final makeup plan been finalized, but also several sets of time-saving and labor-saving makeup methods have been developed. At this time, one person Responsible for an actor, very fast.

To put it bluntly, shooting exterior scenes is a hard job. Teacher Mao Geping, who is nearly [-], naturally did not come. Cui Jun and Xiao Ai jumped up and down to help them, and they always handed them the right things at the right time. Obviously, these two people I really studied hard and gained a lot.

Director Zhu Zimo was busy, but at the same time he ran to the temporary dressing table to watch it in a fair manner.

The Tang Seng was played by a second-tier student named Hua Rong with very handsome and gentle features. He had shaved his bald head before he came here, but he was wearing a hat all the time. Now he took off his hat, and the temperature in the mountains is at least lower than that in the urban areas. It looked like six or seven degrees, and when the breeze blew, it was chilly, and he couldn't help reaching out to touch it. The make-up artist was marking his 'scars' one by one, and it took him to rub it a few times before it dried. , angrily warned him that if he was dishonest, he would tie his arms up (...)

Yan Xu played the role of Zhu Bajie. In order to make facial expressions easier, his "pig's head" was not glued on as a whole, but was carefully spliced ​​on the face using several materials, which definitely did not feel comfortable. It’s okay if it’s sticky, and occasionally itches when something is wrong. After all, Yan Xu is a popular niche who relies on his face for food. Even if he knows that this thing is safe and harmless, he still feels very hairy psychologically. Sitting there is like sticking his butt. He got caught in the grass, so he was also warned by the stern makeup artist.

Monk Sha is played by an old acquaintance, that is, Wu Junqi, the protagonist in the previous play. In fact, he is even worse than Hua Rong who played Tang Monk. There is hair, but no hair in the middle... Wu Junqi is not a particularly handsome type, he is actually a talented person, and then he is set off by this weird hairstyle, many people who have no acting look at him and turn around and laugh, Wu Junqi Can only pretend not to see.

As for Shen Pingzhang who plays the monkey grandson... Director Zhu's eyes are full of love when he looks at it, this is called beauty in the eye of the beholder!

——Actually, in the eyes of outsiders, the shape of this monkey is indeed very good.

Shen Pingzhang is handsome, because the monkey is the protagonist after all, the stylists will naturally ponder over his look, glued a circle of monkey hair, and then put a gold hoop on his head. Brewing emotions, his face is full of hostility for a while, and he is tired and rascal for a while. Among the four people, except for the little white-faced Tang Seng, his image is good.Of course, because he was always changing expressions there, the make-up artist who was not good at sticking hair also 'taught' him...

In addition to the four masters and apprentices who have to make up, A Yao in the next scene also needs to make up.

A Yao's appearance is quite special, because in the eyes of Tang Seng, she is the "original appearance", that is, a beautiful woman in green clothes with graceful long hair, but in the eyes of the monkey afterwards, it is her "present appearance", also It is old and ugly, like a ghost.

Kong Wei was wearing a beautiful fairy dress. The conditions here were limited, and there was no big mirror, so she ran to the stream to take a picture ingeniously. Unfortunately, she couldn't see it clearly, so she couldn't help standing up, pouting in Yang Turning around in front of Duo: "Is it good-looking?"

Yang Duo took her hand and praised her sincerely: "It's beautiful! It's so beautiful!"

If Kong Wei originally had seven points of beauty, now he has risen to nine points.

Not only Yang Duo, but almost all the actresses gathered around, their eyes full of envy and hatred, oops, when will it be my turn to shoot my part?

Originally, it was said that I would take a makeup photo.

As a result, the time was rushed, and when the appointed day came, the custom-made costumes had not yet arrived, so there was no way, all the actors just tried on the makeup a little bit, as for the set makeup photos, they could only get by like this, and so on. After that, I'll have to take some good posters.

So, this is the first time they have seen the costumes in the movie!

First look at the whole body, the shape is elegant and beautiful, the wide ribbon is tied around the waist, it looks like Kong Wei's small waist is full of grip, and when you get closer, look at the material of the skirt, it is the most expensive and the best effect Juan silk!They have also mixed with several crews, which crew's costumes are not good-looking?The camera looks beautiful, but if you look closely, you can see that the fabrics are very cheap, so that the actresses who love beauty have developed the habit of carrying small scissors and needles and threads with them, which can be used to cut thread ends and sew at any time. Something, so as not to wear clothes too shabby.

But the costume worn by Kong Wei, even the pickiest person, must praise it for being beautiful!

All these actresses are jealous.

Right now, several people joined hands to find Liu Ge, who manages the costumes and props. The roles they played were either fairies like A Yao, or female fairies and female Bodhisattvas. In short, the appearance is not ugly, director Since you can make such a beautiful dress for A Yao, how can you favor one person over another?

It's a mess.

While talking, the protagonists here are all ready, and in the nearby woods, a section is drawn out, and the first scene of "Legend of Wukong" begins to shoot!

The first act is easy to get over in one pass.

Zhu Zimo stood behind one of the cameras and gave a thumbs up to the four people in front.

The logistics team took the snow-white mare aside and fed him two handfuls of oats.

This horse was rented from a racecourse in a local scenic area. Zhu Zimo caught his eye at a glance. It has a docile temperament and the most important thing is that it looks beautiful without a single hair. In order to convince the owner of the racecourse, it took a lot of effort and he promised Eat well and live well, except that you can ride when necessary for filming, and you are not allowed to bear weight at other times.

The fodder that Baima ate every day was also transported along with their lunch and dinner.

On the way here, when Zhu Zimo was so tired, looking at the white horse strolling leisurely, he was so out of breath!This wonderful horse farm owner!Does he raise horses or adopt a wife?A horse is more precious and noble than a human!He almost couldn't hold back the evil thoughts in his heart, broke his promise and rode up...

That's right, the owner of the racecourse specially sent someone to take care of the big white horse...

The next scene will be the scene of turning (finding) fate (dead) Tang Seng and the tree demon, and A Yao (young and beautiful version).

Tang Seng came across a strange tree.

This tree has a human mouth, which is what it left after eating a person 300 years ago. It soaks the branches to prevent it from rotting, then picks it up and puts it on itself, and the tree can speak.

The vines attached to the tree entangled Tang Seng, ready to eat him.

It allows Tang Seng to say the last word.

Tang Seng said: "Why do you talk so much nonsense? I am not afraid of dying early and being reborn early! But do you really want to hear my last sentence?"

"Save-life-ah!!!"

The apprentices were busy bickering and fighting, but no one paid any attention to him.

Tang Seng called for help countless times and said a few sweet words, but the disciples still didn't come, but A Yao did.

After saving Tang Seng, Tang Seng praised Ayao for being beautiful.

A Yao, however, disliked Tang Seng for being lecherous and glib. She told Tang Seng that she heard that a man named Jin Chanzi once questioned Xiaocheng's Dharma, but ended up going crazy and fell into a thousand calamities.

Tang Seng smiled and said, "Because Jin Chanzi is stupid!"

A Yao's expression changed, she made a ferocious expression, and said that she wanted to eat Tang Seng.

Then Monkey King appeared, he mocked A Yao for being an ugly monster, and said he was going to beat her to death with a golden cudgel.

A Yao was in tears, but unfortunately the monkey didn't recognize her long ago, this monkey was the 'good' one, and he let the 'crazy and ugly' monster go, but the 'evil' one was finally in A Yao's eyes. From his mouth, he knew a part of the truth, so he simply knocked Tang Seng to death.

This is the beginning of "Legend of Wukong", an introduction.

Although the plot is quite relaxed, it looks like all kinds of boring dialogues, but the amount of information in it is actually very large. In those boring dialogues, there are actually metaphors everywhere, and there are clues from 500 years ago. The character of the characters is already clearly expressed. For example, the monkey is as innocent and cruel as a child, and Bajie is as senseless and indulgent as a prodigal son...

In this scene, the difficulty is that Tang Seng has to act against a cloud of air.

That dryad will naturally be synthesized later.

Here is patting Tang Seng, and there, the convenient version of the wire frame is set up. It is not the first time for Shen Pingzhang to hang the wire. He is familiar with turning it back and forth a few times to adjust the tightness. In the attempted accident, Zhu Zimo paid great attention to the safety of the set, and after he tested it a few times, he let Shen Pingzhang get off the ground with confidence.

At a height of two or three meters, Shen Pingzhang suddenly lowered his head and glanced at Zhu Zimo.

At that time, Zhu Zimo was also looking up at him, because the next shot was about to start, so the stare at each other was just like a superficial swipe, but both of them were excited!

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Director Zhu was distracted for three seconds, then raised the loudspeaker in his hand and shouted: "Start!"

The first day of shooting was very smooth.

He also seized the opportunity to take pictures of the brilliant sunset in the sky for a long time until the sky faded.

The actors who were filming were exhausted at this time, and seeing that it was getting dark, they were naturally jumping about to eat and rest.

But Zhu Zimo stopped them.

The weather is good tonight, the night sky is full of stars, only one corner of the moon is missing, and the radiant light sprinkles on the ground, as if shrouded in a hazy veil.How can the beauty of a good day live up to it?Director Zhu, who was possessed by Zhou Papi, ruthlessly filmed another night scene, and only then was he satisfied with letting everyone break up.

On the other side of the camp, a firebreak has been circled around the stove, and a bonfire was lit there just after nightfall, and the people who were not escorted by Director Zhu to perform the night show formed a big crowd. circle, maybe because they are afraid of disturbing Director Zhu's filming, everyone speaks and walks in a soft voice, and some people who are proud of their cooking skills are standing next to the fire with a bunch of barbecue ingredients, cautious It was roasted continuously, with crackling sounds one after another, and then there were small sparks splashing, and a burst of rich fragrance came out like that. The stars, big and small, who usually don't know how bright they are, couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

Everyone is so hungry that your chest is sticking to your back, okay?

But there is also good news, that is, Director Zhu found out with his conscience that the ingredients just sent by someone turned out to be skewered mutton, chicken wings and other barbecue ingredients!There are also a few bottles of wine that are very humane!Those ingredients are all marinated, very fresh, and roasted on the fire for a while, they will give off a tangy aroma. They only ate some cold rice and cold dishes at noon, how can they stand this kind of test now?The sounds of gurgling and gurgling are all connected together...

Hearing the commotion over there, dozens of people turned their heads and looked over in unison!Everyone's eyes glowed red as the orange fire light reflected...

Zhu Zimo was almost taken aback, and then he condemned them loudly from a distance: "You guys eat alone! It's too much!"

Teacher Zhou Ping, who played the role of Queen Mother of the West, also condemned Zhu Zimo loudly: "If it wasn't for waiting for you, why don't we start now? But since the director thinks that we eat alone, I really feel sorry for him if we don't eat once. Don't you think so!"

The people in a circle laughed in unison: "Yes—"

"Ah! You are going to rebel!" Zhu Zimo scolded with a smile, "Do you know what will happen if you offend the director?"

It was Zhou Ping, who shouted back at the top of her voice, "Director Zhu, do you know what will happen if you commit public anger?"

Several videographers also installed the cameras they were in charge of safely. Smelling the fragrance here, no one could stand still. They ran all the way over, but just in time to hear Teacher Zhou Ping's challenge, they immediately rebelled collectively , and booed at Zhu Papi with the comrades who were already sitting in groups.

Zhu Zimo touched his nose, trotted and squeezed a seat to sit down, and said: "I'm not as knowledgeable as you, okay? Hurry up, whoever is good at crafts, go in and bake together! Remember to bake it first when it's done." Pay tribute to me!"

Zhu Zimo's image is quite different in normal times and when he is filming. People who are not familiar with him are a little restrained, but those who are familiar with him can already joke with him.

A very young actress heard Zhu Zimo's words, and immediately turned around and joked: "We baked it so hard, why should we give it to you first?"

Zhu Zimo was in high spirits: "Of course it's because I am your food and clothing parent! Don't forget, who provided these big bags of meat!"

Several little girls followed suit and started flirting with Zhu Zimo.

Which girl is not pregnant?Zhu Zimo's status is here. He is not inferior to those male stars in handsomeness, talent and good looks, and now he has a sense of humor. This is simply the prince charming that can only appear in idol dramas!

Even if he has nothing, just because he is a great director, there are many people who want to get close to him and win his favor.

In a short while, Zhu Zimo was stuffed with more than a dozen strings of grilled shiitake mushrooms, some of which were burnt, and some were black or simply raw. Zhu Zimo still ate them at the beginning I was very happy, and I couldn't hold it for a long time.

Yingying and Yanyan are all young, beautiful, and fragrant, but he has no luck...

Just as he was thinking about walking, Zhu Zimo suddenly felt a scorching gaze.

He raised his head and looked around.

Shen Pingzhang was looking at him with piercing eyes, and he didn't know if it was because of the firelight, but he always felt that there were dark fires growing inside...

Zhu Zimo immediately smiled flatteringly.

He opened his mouth and compared two mouth shapes, which made Shen Pingzhang stop.

"Help--!!"

It happened to coincide with a scene during the day, when Tang Seng, who was caught by the goblin, called for help to the monkey in the same way.

What did the monkey say then?

"This bald man is having a lot of fun! Only fools are going to save him!"

Thinking of this, Zhu Zimo almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

Obviously, Shen Pingzhang over there also thought of this, he rolled his eyes at Zhu Zimo indecently, then got up, and came very actively to rescue Director Zhu who was trapped in the fairy cave.

After all, the morals of the 'goblins' are still shallow. Shen Pingzhang only used the excuse of 'need to discuss' to drag the poor Director Zhu away. Skewered barbecue, passed it to a camera sitting next to him, and earned him a thank you.

In the other direction, Shen Pingzhang personally grilled Zhu Zimo’s meat. His cooking skills were several mountains higher than those half-baked guys over there. Those who noticed this were secretly envious of the good relationship between Shen Pingzhang and the director, and at the same time joked that Director Zhu was an evil capitalist who oppressed the poor Shen Xiaogong to work like a bull and a horse... But these two people are not at all Unmoved, others like to say whatever they like, but they just do their own way, tacit understanding is closer than brothers...

Everyone is considered an artist, quite versatile, how boring is it to do it?So gradually, a lot of energetic people began to dance around the bonfire, and some people took turns singing, laughing and having fun, so that many people who were present many years later recalled today and forgot all the hardships that followed. , all said that "that Zhangjiajie location shooting was one of the best experiences in an actor's career", and this can be regarded as the behind-the-scenes of "Legend of Wukong".

After nine o'clock, Zhu Zimo forced everyone to go back to the tent to rest, otherwise it would affect tomorrow's shooting.

Woke up early the next morning, cooked a big pot of instant noodles to pad our stomachs, and then everyone set off collectively to the Huanglong Cave not far from the next door.

Those who haven't been there can't imagine that kind of shocking magnificence!

Most of the people in the crew also visited the cave landscape for the first time.

What they went to was not the main entrance that was classified as a scenic spot, but another entrance that was rarely visited by people. Before coming, Zhu Zimo had already negotiated with the local government. Mo is already a very important director. When the movie is broadcast, it will definitely arouse huge response and attention. This is equivalent to making a soft advertisement for the scenic spot for free. At that time, as long as Zhu Zimo releases the wind, he will come to Zhangjiajie scenic spot to travel The ones who are sure to hit new highs!So why didn't they cooperate with Zhu Zimo?He quickly provided this sub-entry that has not yet been opened to the crew.

Unlike the main entrance where there are so many traces of man-made chisels, and there are no curious tourists, it is clean and suitable for shooting. As for safety issues, the scenic spot has assigned two staff members who are very familiar with the local environment. Zhu Zimo is worried. Insurance, he hired two more, and he gave repeated orders not to allow anyone to act without permission, otherwise they would be fired from the crew immediately, so until the filming was completed and they left the scenic spot, the crew did not have any accidents.

The fairyland of the Queen Mother of the West, the Sanxing Cave of the Bodhi Patriarch, the Water Curtain Cave of the Huaguo Mountain of the Monkey King, the Lonely Cold Palace of Ah Yue, the caves of various goblins such as the Bone Demon and the White Rat Demon Zhu Zimo had many strange ideas in his mind. Wonderful idea, plus the original author and current screenwriter Zeng Yuxi who came up with ideas, combined with the beauty of Huanglong Cave, which is known as the "World's No. [-] Karst Cave Wonder", the scenes shot in the whole movie are beautiful Beautiful and shocking!

Of course it was very hard to shoot on location. I couldn’t eat well or sleep well. Including Zhu Zimo, everyone in the crew lost a few pounds. Even if they applied toilet water every day, they were still covered by mosquitoes in the wild... But all of this Obviously worth it.

When it was time to leave, the people who were clearly complaining and looking forward to leaving all day long felt reluctant to part with them.

Perhaps their emotions after many years were not all moaning without illness. After all, it is true that they have never had such a good filming experience...

And on the last day, Zhu Zimo and Shen Pingzhang sneaked away from the crowd, ran to the top of a mountain, and released a very delicate remote-controlled helicopter that was scaled down in proportion.This plane is about one and a half meters long, half a meter high, silver-white, with smooth lines and gold and blue badges. In short, it looks very beautiful just by looking at it. It was Zhu Zimo who put in a lot of effort to customize it from abroad shipped over.

Its performance is as good as its appearance. It can fly continuously for more than half an hour when the battery is fully charged, and can fly up to about 1000 meters, supporting a flight range of one square kilometer.Of course, its price is also very beautiful. In this era, you can change a two-bedroom apartment in a second-tier city.

Inside the plane, there are two high-definition new cameras, which are firmly fixed on both sides of the fuselage, with the lenses facing downward.

They flew five times in total, and it took a long time to finish the calculation.

After seeing the shooting results, Zhu Zimo was satisfied and led the crowd back on the journey.

The location is over, and the next thing is to use the green screen of the film studio to shoot the scene.

After the green screen shooting is completed, it enters the post-production cycle of special effects.

Calculated by pinching fingers, it has been almost a year since Zhu Zimo came back from wearing it.

It's only been a year, but it's already neither a thing nor a person.
