Chapter 196: On the set log

After the show ended, the creators were not allowed to leave. They had to move backstage to thank their relatives and friends one by one for coming to support them.

If the quality of the movie is mediocre or poor, everyone will tacitly and quickly leave after talking about the scene.

If the movie is well-made and promising, then the number of stranded people will become more and more like cells dividing.

"Director Du, congratulations~"

"Adu, you're awesome! You're awesome! When will the celebration party be held? I'm here to cheer you up, hahaha."

"Director, director..."

The black director is the busiest person present, having to deal with people from all directions.

When a director makes a movie, he has a budget of 10 million and a method of shooting with a budget of 10 million and a budget of 100 million and a method of shooting with a budget of 100 million.

A budget of 100 million produces an effect of 10 million - that is called participating in money laundering.

And with a budget of 10 million and an effect of 100 million - it is a famous guest in the industry.

"Black Dragon 2" has no obvious shortcomings in all aspects. It is extremely mature and the quality far exceeds expectations. Some people believe that it cost 50 to 60 million yuan to invest. In fact, the director only spent 10 to 20 million yuan, which is simply a miracle.

I originally thought that the trailer was the essence of the whole film, but I didn't expect that the full-length film is flawlessly exciting from beginning to end, both commercial and artistic. The director's personal style has begun to take shape, and there are several spiritual scenes in it.

While embodying the story, the audio-visual design is not thrown away.

When this movie was first proposed, it was clearly positioned as a fan-oriented movie, with the purpose of praising artists, promoting celebrities, and cutting leeks... Before coming, everyone was even prepared to eat shit. As a result, the film critics couldn't use the template.

When writing movie reviews, colleagues can’t sleep secretly, and fans don’t have to spend money to book movies.

When you release a movie like this, you don't have to wait for the next day's box office data to prove it. As soon as the movie ends, a lot of people will be eyeing the black director's next work.

Businessmen want to invest; artists want to participate in performances;

Some reporters even regarded the black director as some kind of rising famous director and interviewed him vigorously.

"You've made a mistake." The black director had heard all the good things about the first half of his life today. Although he was a little arrogant, he was not arrogant enough to think that the film was made like this because of him alone.

Director Black: "The production cost of the movie is nearly 20 million, but it looks like it cost 50 million. This is not a miracle. This is because the cost disappeared between [50 million] and [20 million], all because of

one person."

The producer smiled slightly and stood up without hesitation.

The black director was a little hesitant, not knowing which one to choose between the old and new leaders.

"That person is Guan Chen." Unexpectedly, the producer said it directly.

The producer asked reporters to interview people on the crew at will to see how Guan Chen changed the film bit by bit.

The producer gave a sample and spoke first:

[The most expensive part of making a movie, apart from the actors' remuneration, is the technical cost - photographic equipment, lighting equipment, related consumables, basic personnel remuneration... Every extra day of filming costs hundreds of thousands more.

When we shot "Black Dragon 2", it was nearly ten days faster than expected.

It's because of training. A lot of training.

Generally speaking, when actors shoot action scenes, training for three hours a day is considered hard work. We are not.

When Guan Chen was at the training base, he used military-style management, with only three hours of entertainment a day...get up on time, train on time, strictly control diet, and rest on time. He himself also knew that it was strict, so he said that everyone is welcome to resist

, as long as you defeat him, you don’t have to listen to him. But no one dares. Because when Guan Chen arrived at the base on the first day, he beat up the martial arts instructor (laughing), and then he had to select a few apprentices to compete with each other every day.

, it was one at first, then slowly one hit two, one hit three... No one dared to resist, and their courage became less and less, so in the end they just survived. Moreover, Guan Chen set an example and practiced better than

Everyone is suffering, but everyone admires him.】



Later, the reporter found martial arts instructor Master Cai.

Master Cai chuckled and first clarified:

[On the first day of the competition, I mainly suffered the loss of underestimating my opponent... I'm not making excuses for my failure, no, the main reason is that Guan Chen's body is too confusing. In the eyes of insiders, he is just like an ordinary person.

.Except for a layer of callus on the edge of the middle finger of the right hand - which was produced by holding a pen - there are no traces of training at all elsewhere. Anyone who sees it will suffer...]

When the reporter was about to leave, Master Cai stopped the reporter and said:

[Getting back to the subject, Guan Chen and I played half and half roles in the action design of this movie. Here, I want to say sincerely that Guan Chen is the breadwinner.

In the martial arts industry, there is no concept of originality or genius, because boxing and boxing techniques are there. How people fought hundreds and thousands of years ago is how we still fight today. We cannot create new ones. But our industry is steeped in design.

On the other hand, "creativity" is always the first meaning, and it must be innovative. Then it is the turn to measure the degree of completion or maturity, and consider how to achieve an effective balance between creativity and experience.

My style leans towards comics, and I aim to show off. When paired with an idol artist, it's a perfect match. We like each other very well, but when I get mixed up with Guan Chen, it's a bit exaggerated.

Because Guan Chen’s style is realistic, a contest of details, and bloody. It is very rare, and this is a style that does not appear in today’s martial arts.]



Photographer:

[In the original idea, the camera would match Brother Chen’s action style and show the fight with a fast, broken and dense rhythm. Most action movies on the market are shot this way.

But Brother Chen told the director that this kind of shot was too ordinary and not worthy of his ingenious (this is the original idiom) movements. Otherwise, what would be the difference between the film and those pretentious action movies? The actors are also well-trained.

, it’s a pity not to use a long lens in some places.

The director was very moved after hearing this, and the whole crew suffered.

It's great to be able to shoot an awesome long shot, especially when Brother Chen also pointed out that I need to feel immersed in the scene. I have to hold the machine, sometimes half squat, sometimes turn around, and memorize every move of the batter. So.

I was forced to join the training group, doing physical training, strength training, and combat training twelve hours a day...]



Artistic Director:

[I'm okay! I didn't join the training! Brother Chen respects me as a cultural person and doesn't make things difficult for me.

But Brother Chen always likes to embarrass me in other places. For example, A Guang is often against one person and many, so Brother Chen hopes that the picture will have a slimy feeling, like a swamp. The impression given to the audience is that A Guang's

The more violent your movements, the faster you will sink in the red and black mire.

This kind of request is too abstract. I told Brother Chen several times that my abilities are limited and asked him to be more specific. But Brother Chen always pretended not to receive my text messages, which is better than any party I have ever seen. I

I had no choice but to grit my teeth and fight hard. Looking back now, I can say that I have produced a good work, although the process was a little tiring, my hair fell out a little more, and I had to change the keyboard and mouse a little more diligently.]



Guang Zai (the actor who plays the protagonist of "Black Dragon" - A Guang):

[The moves designed by Brother Chen are very difficult. You don’t just follow the same routine and be done with it. Brother Chen pays great attention to details. He even takes into account the changes in the movements caused by the emotional changes of both hitters. The changes in rhythm are similar to

Just like in actual combat, you need to be very, very skilled in order to play well. This is a training for me and I have gained a lot.

In terms of acting, Brother Chen also taught me a lot.

For example, in one scene, Aguang made a big fuss in the club and rescued the trafficked girl, but the girl was still very afraid of him and refused to follow him.

I don’t understand why. Brother Chen took me to a place where foreigners gathered one night, stuffed a few wads of cash into my arms, and asked me to walk alone through a street. Late at night there, everything was full of cash.

There were small groups of black people, tall and powerful, listening to very loud music. I kept my cash in my pocket and walked forward without looking back. I was sweating coldly as I walked.

I found out later that he was actually the actor arranged by him on the road, but at that time, everyone looked like robbers with malicious intentions. Several of them saw that I was walking stiffly and came over to ask me if I was sick and if I wanted to

Help, I was so frightened that my face turned pale, and I quickly refused.

Brother Chen said, yes, this is how a woman feels when facing a man. You think you are not malicious, but except yourself, who really knows? There are too many lessons learned from the past, and only fools dare to bet on people's hearts.]



screenwriter:

[Brother Chen is simply an encyclopedia in the criminal world. He is familiar with all kinds of crimes. Sometimes if you ask him for information that cannot be found on the computer, he will be able to tell you what evil deeds are in the world that are not known to ordinary people.

.

He has always regretted that a movie can remind him of too little.

I understand what he means. Drama carries a specific mission of summoning reality. Drama can change customs and is a major tool for promoting social education. His videos, like this one "Black Dragon", remind everyone of this

The world is complicated. There are good people, bad people, and people who turn from good to bad.

I think we get along very well in terms of creation. We may not be able to create "Black Dragon 4" and "Black Dragon 5" in the future, and expand this series to a wider and deeper area.]



Gaffer:

[Brother Chen’s action design really shaped the character’s personality.

Before starting the filming, Brother Chen warned me that when filming the scenes with Master Zhu, I must remember to let Master Zhu stand in the backlight position. Gunners trained by the military will not like to stand in the backlight position. Brother Chen also gave me the money for this.

He told a story about two swordsmen in the ancient country of Wano. One was young and the other was old. The young one arrived at the battlefield early, but the old one didn’t arrive until dusk. He only appeared with a light on his back.

, the first is to consume the formation and wear down the opponent's fighting spirit; the second is to "sword everywhere" and use it in every possible way.

Doing everything possible is exactly Zhu Ye’s fighting philosophy.]



Props set:

[When I was on the set, there was always one missing gun for no reason. Every time I looked for it, I could see Brother Chen silently practicing drawing and grabbing the gun in the corner. It was so scary... There was obviously no role for him...
