Chapter 187 Morning and evening together(1/3)
Thanks to the investment of both Whisper Pictures and HMG regardless of cost and manpower, the main studio sets such as the Blackwood Cliff Chamber, Water Prison, and Inner Courtyard in the film were completed on Thursday morning. The crew of "Laughing East"
The filming progress also began to speed up, and Yan Qing, who shouldered important responsibilities such as director and male lead, was naturally busy on the set all day long.

Moderate outdoor light intensity
…
Two plump chestnut horses, well-proportioned and handsome, were swaying their tails and pacing leisurely under the guidance of the jockey.
Yan Qing, who was carrying a large wine jar with one hand, and Yi Yi, who was dressed as a man, had just finished shooting several scenes in which they galloped side by side and dodged in the air.
On the screen, the freehand and unrestrained light skills of flying up and down can never be separated from the guarantee of a whole set of behind-the-scenes teams such as winches, steel wire ropes, martial arts masters, and crane platforms. The two of them will be taking off their clothes with the help of martial arts masters and special effects artists.
Wia equipment.
Different from yesterday's embarrassed appearance, both of them were dressed in elegant Ming Dynasty standard Confucian scholar's attire, both inside and out, with a middle coat, middle trousers, Xuanzi, a dark black long gown with a straight skirt, a short jacket, and a navy blue Confucian outerwear.
The robe, paired with the three-foot green sword on his back, a white turban, and a dark black cloak, except for the ceramic wine jar in Yan Qing's hand, which is a little surprising, the image of an upright disciple of a well-known family walking around the world has jumped out.
The scene in which Linghu Chong and Yue Lingshan ride across the mountain has been filmed. Because this plot has an interactive relationship with the chase scene between the two fuso ronin, the two scenes were shot together in the pre-planned shooting plan, so the crew temporarily
Can't transition yet.
"...Mo Ran, Tan Sen...confirm the aircraft orbit adjustment again..."
"...Director Huang! The hoisting platform has been repositioned..."
"…light…"
"..."
After the show, Yan Qing naturally transformed his identity into a director and began to arrange the preparation work.
Seeing that Yan Qing had entered a quiet period after giving instructions, Yi Yi approached him and asked: "Brother Qing, why do we Huashan disciples have to dress up in Confucian shirts and scarves?"
"Huashan Mountain in the West corresponds to the history books of the Five Classics. The west is gold, and there is a house of gold in the book..."
Yan Qing took out the whole set of service theory that he had formulated after discussing with Xie Wanying: "So it is only natural for us Huashan disciples to dress up as scholars!"
"Then why is my character a tomboy? I'm obviously a pretty girl..."
Yi Yi's beautiful eyes turned, and she teased softly: "Are you always worried about Sister Jing, so you can't let go!"
"In order to make the logic smooth, Linghu Chong must have a motive for falling in love with Dongfang Bubai. If his junior sister is as beautiful as a fairy..."
Yan Qing explained helplessly: "Then when Linghu Chong met Dongfang for the first time, the two of them had to fight to the death. After all, Dongfang Bubai's men put Yue Lingshan in danger from the very beginning!"
"Hmph, after all, I'm not as valuable as a jug of wine!"
Yi Yi coyly complained: "What about Sister Jing Yu? She obviously has a relationship with Linghu Chong!"
"Because her father's ambitions grew more and more, the original love between them that was connected by music had to be extinguished..."
As soon as the crew's preparations were about to be completed, Fuso actor Hiroshi Ito, who played Hattori Hanzo, was already standing in front of the camera, holding a monitor in his hand. Before Yan Qing picked up the director's microphone, he finally joked: "You girl, you will be confused as soon as you read the script."
If you haven’t read it thoroughly, read it carefully a few more times and don’t fall behind when the time comes.”
"Okay, Brother Qing, please do your work first. I'm going to find Miaomiao..."
Seeing that the crew was ready, Yi Yi obediently followed the coordinator Miao Miao and stood together.
The crew of "Laughing East" had more short scenes, and the execution of the director's scheduling instructions was relatively simple.
"The first shot of the seventh scene in the volume of "The Swordsman: The Invincible East."
Due to multiple cameras shooting different subjects at the same time, multiple recordings were required. Yan Qing’s royal scene recorder Lou Junwei was very busy. After receiving the instructions from the executive director Mo Ran, he had to record the scene notes that had been written in advance.
The boards were raised in front of different cameras in turn, and then Shen Shengtong continued to report: "The first shot of the first scene of the eighth scene of "The Swordsman: The Unbeaten East"."
After confirming that the red lights of the cameras in each position were on and entering the filming mode, Yan Qing turned on the director's microphone switch: "action!"

Fixed camera position, overhead shot, medium shot:
——
The upper body of Fuso actor Hirofumi Ito appears in the painting wearing a ronin cloak and a dark gray "water dry" outfit.
He frowned and took out a monocular telescope from the slanted placket, closing his right eye tightly, as if he was carefully exploring the military situation.
Three seconds later, he handed the monocular telescope to his subordinates outside the frame, and ordered in Fusang with a solemn expression: "Send the signal!"
——
Orbital camera position, flat shot, panoramic shot:
Sarutobi Sun and Moon, played by Fuso actor Tatsumi Tanaka, wearing a samurai braid and the same ronin "Suigan" costume, knelt down on one knee. He accepted the order with his hands and kicked on the ground, directly from a group of Japanese warriors holding the flag of the Sun and Moon God Sect.
Rushing out of the bush.
As his name suggests, Sarutobi Sun and Moon, who has excellent lightness skills, soon jumped up and flew out of the ground under the pull of the Wia platform.
——
"OK! Passed!"
It took nearly half an hour to prepare and the two shots were shot in just five seconds. He kept staring at the split-screen image on the monitor. Yan Qing couldn't help but sigh that the two Fuso actors hired by Whispering Pictures were both veteran actors. He was satisfied.
He shouted: "Get ready for the next one..."
There are many more short shots like this in the Thursday morning shooting schedule:
——
Orbital camera position, overhead shot, panoramic shot:
——
Hirofumi Ito and more than 30 extras wearing ziyi cloaks playing Japanese pirates lined up on the high ground in the desert.
After Yan Qing gave the order, Ito Hiroshi muttered in Fuso language: "Sarutobi Sun and Moon, let's see who gets there first!"
After saying that, he turned around and rushed to the left like a sharp arrow, led by Wia.
Several of the subsequent scenes were chase scenes with panoramic shots in which Hattori Sengun, played by Hirofumi Ito, and Sarutobi Sun and Moon, played by Tatsumi Tanaka, each used light skills to cross reed fields, deserts, and bushes.
Hattori Chijun's light skill was only a few inches off the ground, while Sarutobi Sun and Moon's chase scene was much more complicated.
It is also a panoramic shot, with Wia blessing. Fuso actor Tanaka Tatsumi, who plays Sarutobi Sun and Moon, is two to three meters above the ground throughout the whole shot. He is completely suspended by the cantilever bracket of the special effects team's articulating arm car and speeding on the dry reeds.
However, I still have to focus on performing the feeling of sprinting with all my strength while deliberately appearing calm and calm.
The two chase scenes were filmed until they were in front of Sanhe Ma. Yan Qing and Yi Yi both mounted their horses again and acted as human props in the chase scenes.

Orbital camera position, flat shot, panoramic shot:
——
In the frame, the sun and moon of Sarutobi, who was running on reeds, passed by the two of them quickly. Yue Lingshan was completely unaware. Only Linghu Chong gave a slightly surprised look: "Qinggong, flying on grass?"
After taking this picture, Yan Qing and Yi Yi drove their horses away. The prop master went into battle and placed the one-to-one size prop horses prepared in advance. The female stand-in put on the wire equipment and sat on the horse with golden swords.

"Don't block the road! (Fuso)"
Hattori Senjun expressionlessly drew his sword and slashed at Yue Lingshan, one man and one horse, who blocked his way.

——
The prop horse sprayed out a mist of blood.
——
Orbital camera position, the camera slowly zooms out, and the panorama changes to a long shot:
——
In the monitor screen in Yan Qing's hand, Wu Wei "Yue Lingshan" flew out upside down, and the "living" Sanhe horse under her seat was evenly sliced open by the sword energy.
