Just as the leading actor was meeting with the media in the capital, Shao Shuaijun and the crew quietly came to Phoenix City. The secretary and mayor of the Phoenix City Government personally entertained the crew and the crew. While changing glasses, they talked about revitalization and development.
The next day, with the help of several producers, Shao Shuaijun and his party checked into the Phoenix Film Studio.
The filming work in Phoenix City will fully cooperate with Fengying in terms of extras, equipment, costumes and props. Fengying is a time-honored film studio, especially because it is located on the edge of the desert, many staff members
He has unique insights and profound knowledge about desert-themed photography.
There is a desert battle scene in "Painted Skin" and we planned to shoot it here.
"The Shapotou area is located in the southeast corner of the Tengger Desert and has strong desert ecological characteristics. Look, Xiaoshao, from the Bao-Lanzhou Railway, the endless Tengger Desert is to the north, and the Tengger Desert is to the south.
There are large oasis areas, and further away is the Yellow River. There are mountains, water and sand. It can be said that it has the majestic scenery of the northwest and the beauty of the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River."
Mr. Xu Jinwei, the deputy director of Fengying and the consultant for this shooting, stood on a pile of sand, pointed around and spoke cheerfully.
In order to inspect the shooting location, Shao Shuaijun and others took a three-ounce off-road vehicle and came from Phoenix City to the Shapotou Scenic Area in Lieutenant (Wei) City. In addition to the producer and assistant director, they were Mr. Xu Jinwei of Fengying, and
There is Wang Cisheng, a history professor at Ningbo University.
"This sky full of yellow sand really looks like sweet-scented osmanthus cake." Shao Shuaijun sighed.
"Haha, Xiao Shao's words are interesting." Wang Cisheng said with a hearty smile, "Since ancient times, there have been many literati and poets who expressed emotion in Shapotou, but none of them were so emotional. In the past, Wang Wei was ordered to comfort the people in Hexi.
It was here in Shapotou that the victorious soldiers wrote the eternal poem 'The solitary smoke is straight in the desert, the sun is setting in the long river'. "Painted Skin" was shot here, and it can be said that the beauty of the picture and the historical heritage are both there."
"The scenery in mainland China can be said to be intoxicating. When we were in Hong Kong, we didn't dare to use long shots when taking pictures of scenery, for fear of accidentally popping up something that shouldn't be there. Here, I must use a long lens.
." Huang Yuetai put up the awning with his hands, looking very excited.
"The mainland has inexhaustible resources, and Hong Kong has our scarce and valuable experience. As long as the resources are integrated, there is no need to worry about the revitalization of Chinese-language films."
"Yes, I hope "Painted Skin" can find a way out for us." Xu Jinwei patted Shao Shuaijun on the shoulder with great expectations.
Shao Shuaijun smiled bitterly: "Mr. Xu's words doubled my pressure. I dare not refuse if I can make a contribution to Chinese-language films."
"As long as you don't dare to refuse, young people must have the courage to take the lead, so they can have shoulders made of steel. Let's discuss how to shoot. Professor Wang and I went to the car to rest for a while. As people get older, they can't stand the sun.
It’s sunburned.”
The staff brought pen and paper, and Shao Shuaijun and others pointed in the desert and began to think about how to shoot.
The summer temperature in Shapotou is very high. Fortunately, parasols, mung bean soup and other things to cool down are prepared when the weather comes. There are also staff with small charging fans blowing the air nearby, which is quite pleasant.
"Wang Sheng's Wang family army had to line up at least two hundred people to show the magnanimity of that kind of army. You see, starting from this section of the Baotou-Lanzhou Railway, along the ancient road I pointed to, they lined up with flags.
Zhaozhan, imagine this, doesn’t this scene make you feel good?”
"In fact, we can use a mixture of medium and long shots. The long shot is stretched to highlight the momentum of the entire shot, and the medium shot is a close-up of Wang Jiajun's battlefield atmosphere. And then the close-shot dialogue can be used to promote the development of the plot."
"Then how to determine such a proportion? The long shot cannot be separated alone, at least it must be promoted by Wang Jiajun as a whole. Should the medium shot and long shot be shot at the same time? Use a natural transition method to combine the two scenes, using depth and light.
The camera is pushed to highlight the cruelty of the desert war?"
"Let's plan this first. We will follow up with three sets of cameras at the same time. Huang Yuetai and Huang Jiahui will write the long and medium shots with handheld cameras, and Lu Le will be directly responsible for the dialogue of the close shots. Wang Jiajun's rehearsal starts from the Baolan Railway, slow down
Let’s drive to the valley over there, and our crew will set up a set of tents in the valley. When the team arrives, we will complete the filming immediately. This will save us the trouble of putting on makeup.” Shao Shuaijun clapped his hands and decided.
Then everyone drove to Beipo. Beipo had already set up a tent gathering place for a small tribe after confirming the cooperation with Feng Ying. The Wang family army would fight with the sand bandits here, save the nine-tailed fox Xiao Wei, and lead out
The subsequent plot and the battle here will be a major selling point of "Painted Skin".
Arriving on the north slope, the tent camp began to take shape, and a group of sheep were even brought in to graze in order to make the environment more realistic.
"Director Shao, Director Qian, you are here." Action director Dong Wei came over.
"Director Dong, how is the action design going?"
"The martial arts training here is on track. Starting tomorrow, we will cooperate with the prop team to rehearse real fights. However, we have to urge Chen Kun. He is not a real bullet. If he does not use a stand-in for his martial arts movements,
It takes at least ten days of training.”
Shao Shuaijun nodded: "I will urge him to come as soon as possible. Director Dong, I have only one requirement for this fight, and that is to be real. I want to show how the ancient army raided the camp in the desert. I hope you don't be afraid of flowers."
Money, just rehearse and arrange to the best. For every martial arts act, I hope to truly become a soldier who suppresses bandits. Is that okay?"
"As long as you are willing to spend money, I will ensure the best results."
"The prop team must keep in touch with Professor Wang Cisheng. Professor Wang is an expert on the history of the Qin and Han Dynasties. Let him guide you to ensure the historical flavor of this camp. Don't be careless."
"I've written it down." Props master Bao Yi nodded in agreement.
"Also, the current layout of the camp is too small and very shabby. The southern section is all open space. How can we use the distant view like this? Go and communicate with Feng Ying and arrange the southern section as well. The construction of the entire camp must be
It’s reasonable, you can’t just pursue the camera.”
"OK."
"Then, I will leave things here to Director Qian for the time being. I will rush to Hengdian to supervise the progress there."
"Don't worry, Director Shao. With my old money here, I can't do anything wrong."
Qian Yongqiang has been a producer for decades and is very capable. Shao Shuaijun flew to Hengdian with confidence. The main filming location of "Painted Skin" is the Qin and Han ancient town in Hengdian. In order to ensure the filming progress, the current Qin and Han ancient town has been sealed off, and the staff began to
Arrange various landscapes and decorate the scene.
When Shao Shuaijun came over, many peach blossom trees were erected at the door of each house. There were definitely no peach blossoms at this time of year. For the sake of effect, they were all fake trees with pieces of pink rags glued on them. They looked real from a distance.
The peach blossoms are the same.
