"This is Lei Chuxiong's idea. Hong Kong people are already familiar with this method of framing. I was still worried about how to make it look like a peach blossom in March, but he just sent someone to do it. It saves money and is practical. Wow, it's amazing.
." Gao Yang marveled. He is a top student who has returned from studying abroad and has learned countless film knowledge abroad.
After returning to China, I discovered that domestic film standards lag far behind those of the West. But this is just in terms of technology. In terms of the use of props, Chinese filmmakers, or more specifically, Hong Kong filmmakers, are far ahead of the West.
Street. There is no other way. Hong Kong is only so big. If you want to take good pictures, you can only use your brains and find some tricks.
In the movie's split-shot script, the time span is very large, covering the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, so the props team can be said to be the busiest. Bao Yi is in Shapotou and handed over to his eldest apprentice. Shao Shuaijun also
I called Brother Xi over. Brother Xi is a local from Hengdian and has been a leader for several years. With the success of Shao Shuaijun, he has also become a legend in Hengdian.
"Brother Xi, please go find all the leaders in this area. I have something to tell them."
After all the group leaders had arrived, Shao Shuaijun said: "I invite you all here today because I want to find a thousand extras to work here. The work content is very simple, that is, according to the instructions of the crew, each person plays a profession
, living in the ancient town of Qin and Han Dynasties. If you are asked to sell steamed buns, you will only be responsible for selling steamed buns. We will provide the materials and you will sell them professionally. When we call to start shooting, you will immediately start selling steamed buns, regardless of whether our camera has arrived or not.
You, you have to cooperate to complete the actions. Generally, group performances are given 50 per day, but I can give 55 per day, and my job is long-term, which may last three months. If I don’t miss work for three months, I can do it alone.
An extra 5 yuan will be given to your group leader."
"It's such a good thing, don't worry, Director Shao, we'll take over this job."
"Wait a minute, I have something else to say. We provide packed lunches, but you have to make sure of three things. The first point is that the miners cannot be late. Even if they ask for leave, someone must take over. The second point is that the crew's props must be used carefully.
If something breaks, you have to report it, and if you cause any malicious damage, you will be deducted. The third point is to be professional, and work as you should. Our crew has standards, and those who can’t meet it will be directly eliminated. If it’s acceptable, we’ll start recruiting people tomorrow, and we’ll pay wages as usual during the training period.
"
"It's definitely acceptable, Director Shao, don't worry."
Seeing the group leaders leaving happily, Shao Shuaijun was a little speechless. The extras were probably at the bottom here. The income of 50 yuan a day was too low. If possible, Shao Shuaijun would like to pay more, 100 yuan a day. But this is not enough.
I can only think about it, every industry has its own rules. If you dare to open 100, a group of directors will come to trouble you tomorrow and accuse you of breaking the rules.
Not every crew has a lot of money to spend.
The crew of "Painted Skin", that is, Shao Shuaijun, took other people's money and pretended to be generous. A thousand extras cost millions in wages in three months, which would scare people to death.
Of course, Shao Shuaijun didn’t mean to be generous. In “Painted Skin,” he planned to use long lenses in a large number of fight scenes to fully capture the overall pattern. Only in this way can the film be atmospheric enough and be called a magical epic masterpiece, rather than just trying to make a fool of yourself.
Things that sell dog meat.
Only with a truly high-end atmosphere can you conquer the hearts of others.
…
Time flies, the preparation work is finally completed, and the official day of shooting arrives. In July, the weather is extremely hot, and in the evening of Shapotou, the opening ceremony of "Painted Skin" was launched. For this opening ceremony, six investors jointly invited
Many big-name stars came to perform.
Many artists from Huayi Brothers, many artists from Dengtian Shiba, and artists from Media Asia Hong Kong came to support and perform.
After Shao Shuaijun finished speaking with the leaders, he began to enjoy the performance in the audience. Sitting next to him was Li Xiuxiu.
The desert night was decorated with bonfires, and the atmosphere on the big stage was particularly intense.
"Ajun, I heard that you made a song as the theme song for "Painted Skin"? When did you still have such ability?" Li Xiuxiu asked with a smile while drinking her drink.
Shao Shuaijun laughed loudly: "I am inherently versatile. The longer you stay with me, the more you will discover my charm. Be careful not to fall for it."
"Tch, if I praise you for a few words, I'll start to tremble."
"Haha, actually I just hummed a few lines of the tune. The specific lyrics and music composition were all done by others. But this song is really good, especially Zhang Liangying's voice is very good, which makes the song heart-breaking.
, the performance is vivid and vivid. Look, Zhang Liangying is on stage."
While she was talking, Zhang Liangying had already walked onto the big stage, dressed in black gauze, beautiful and moving. She was the third Super Girl last year, and was snatched up by Huayi Brothers' music company. They vigorously packaged her, and her popularity has remained high.
Brother Chun, who ranked first, is less popular.
Being able to sing the theme song of "Painted Skin", on the one hand, she is the original singer and Shao Shuaijun likes it very much, and on the other hand, it is because of her relationship with Huayi Brothers that she can squeeze out a lot of big-name singers and sing "Painted Heart".
"I can't see through it, it's your lost soul. I can't guess it, it's the color of your pupils. A gust of wind, a dream, love is as unpredictable as life..."
When the song ended, there was a round of applause.
Li Xiuxiu seemed to be still immersed in the world of music, and said in a low voice: "Ajun, do you think there is such love in the world? I look at your pupils, but I don't know what color they are? It's like a heartbeat, hard to touch?"
"Who knows, anyway, I feel that my eyes will betray my heart at any time. Look into my eyes, Sister Xiuxiu. Tell me, what do you see?" Shao Shuaijun blinked and began to discharge.
Li Xiuxiu looked at it seriously for a long time: "I really want to feel it vaguely..."
"Do you feel it?" Shao Shuaijun continued to discharge.
"I feel it...you have eye mucus, you should wipe it."
"Holy shit! Can you please understand the atmosphere? In this desert, next to the bonfire, with the exotic singing and dancing, you actually pay attention to the shit in your eyes. It's such a disgrace to the scenery, sister Xiuxiu, let me tell you what you are good at
!”
Shao Shuaijun clasped his head and cried out, his emotions were all in vain just blinking.
"Hey, Director Shao, can you sacrifice your time to pick up girls and come on stage to put on a show for everyone?" Qian Yongqiang ran over and looked very excited. The opening ceremony has now become a unique bonfire party with program performances.
After that, everyone started singing and dancing spontaneously.
Shao Shuaijun stood up and laughed loudly: "Okay, let you feel my singing voice." He walked up to the stage, picked up the microphone, and said twice: "I'm very happy that "Painted Skin" is started. Come and support me. Below, a song called "Painted Skin" is started.
"The Moon Represents My Heart" is given to you, where is the applause!"
