During this holiday when the American people celebrate Christmas, Yi Feiyang is not so happy, because he and the crew of "Saving Rachel, a Female Soldier" are preparing to worship God and start filming.
It is a custom in Hong Kong to worship gods to turn on the camera. Yi Feiyang never thought of doing these tricks before when he was filming.
First of all, he himself doesn’t believe much in ghosts and gods, so what’s the use of showing these things. Secondly, this kind of thing seems simple, but in fact it is very troublesome. If nothing else, the things used to worship gods are very fragmentary. Finally,
This is the United States, and Americans don’t really believe in Chinese customs. It will take some time for them to adapt.
But now, Yi Feiyang suddenly decided to "turn on his phone and worship God" because he gradually began to believe in "luck".
Yes, there may be no ghosts and gods in this world, but there must be good or bad luck.
When you are lucky, you can pick up gold ingots while walking; when you are bad, you can step on smelly dog poop.
Nowadays, most of the media are not very optimistic about me turning around and shooting pornographic films, comparing myself to a self-destructive bitch and prostitute!
Some people even called me in the middle of the night and said that they scared people to death last time they were filming. What do they want to do this time? Do they want to teach bad children and then throw them into jail?!
Yi Feiyang didn't know where he had offended these guys who had never met before, let alone that his choice had nothing to do with them!
However, Yi Feiyang endured it for the sake of the eight cinema lines agreed with Henry the Elephant!
The collective attack by the media was like stepping on stinky dog poop. Yi Feiyang felt that this kind of luck should be changed. In addition, he hoped that his start of construction would go smoothly and have good luck. Therefore, he prepared to--"worship God"
"!
"Bill, are everything ready?" Yi Feiyang turned to Rabbit Bill and asked.
"Ready, I'm convinced by you, boss, why did you let me find so many things? Look, suckling pigs, fruits, pastries, God, and this red-faced statue... When I came from
When Chinatown went through all the trouble to 'invite' it, people all over the street looked at me like a monster. Maybe they were wondering, how could I, a foreign devil with yellow hair and green eyes, believe in your Chinese gods?
…”
Yi Feiyang smiled and said, "Yes, this is our Chinese god. His name is Guan Yu. But we like to call him 'Brother Guan'. He is a civil and military god of wealth in ancient times. In Hong Kong, he often opens stores."
When the filming of a movie starts, we will use these things to worship him and pray for his blessing, so that our business or the crew will go smoothly, and there will be no illness or disaster."
"Damn it, it turns out he is the legendary 'Second Brother Guan'. I thought he was your ancient excellent woodcutter with a big sword!" Rabbit Bill stuck out his tongue.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense, get your things ready, and let the worship begin!" Yi Feiyang told Rabbit Bill.
Bill was quick with his hands and quickly asked someone to bring over a long table. He then arranged the roasted suckling pig, various fruits and pastries neatly on the long table. When the tributes were almost arranged, he followed Yi Feiyang's instructions.
He ordered to bring an incense burner and a large amount of sandalwood. When everything was ready, he signaled to Yi Feiyang to start.
Looking at these familiar things, Yi Feiyang couldn't help but feel funny. Perhaps he was the first filmmaker in the entire United States to turn on his camera and worship God.
Then I thought, is this considered original?
It would be interesting if these guys with green eyes and yellow hair inherited this habit from them in the future.
Just when Yi Feiyang was thinking wildly, Rabbit Bill poked him with his finger and said: "Boss, don't be stunned, Abbot, we will be filming later."
Only then did Yi Feiyang calm down, walked forward, picked up the incense, lit it on the candle, and solemnly inserted it into the copper stove. He bowed three times to the statue of Brother Guan and murmured, "Bless us a smooth start.
Good luck and wish the entire crew safety."
After Yi Feiyang finished putting the incense, he clapped his hands, then turned around and said to everyone, "This is our Chinese god! You can call him 'Meister Guan', yes, as long as we worship him devoutly, he will be here
Bless us from above! Now, come up one by one and offer him incense sticks. Well, Bill, you come first!
Rabbit Bill was like an obedient baby. He imitated Yi Feiyang's behavior just now and smoked three sticks of incense. Then he bowed to the statue of Brother Guan and murmured in his mouth.
When Yi Feiyang worshiped God just now, he spoke in Chinese. Bill couldn't understand it, but he knew that he was probably praying for God's protection and blessing.
So he muttered: "Red-faced God, I hope you can bless me to become famous as soon as possible and make a fortune quickly! Let all those beauties and hot girls fall in love with me! Well, yes, like me in the future
His life can be as romantic and happy as that of a Roman emperor! There is no shortage of money in his pocket, and there is no shortage of companionship in his bed! The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, Amen!”
After Bill finished incense on the ground, he even made a cross on his chest.
Then came Big Bird Lucci, Stormi, Abraham and others. They looked at the Chinese god with a red face and a majestic sword in front of them. They were filled with respect and awe deep in their hearts, so every move they made seemed extra special.
It's solemn and solemn, not at all like Rabbit Bill's nonsense.
After this seemingly weird worship ceremony for Americans was over, Yi Feiyang took off the red cloth covering the camera and officially announced that the movie "Saving Female Soldier Rachel" had officially started shooting.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Yi Feiyang packed up his car and led the crew out of Top Film Company to the pre-arranged location where the first scene of the entire movie would be shot.
Ten kilometers away from the west of Los Angeles, there is a vast forest. The surrounding terrain is complex, with woods and a few hills. At this time, it is covered with snow and looks particularly desolate.
Originally, it would be very difficult to find a place with a very "desolate" atmosphere in a bustling metropolis like Los Angeles. Fortunately, the heavy snow helped, covering all the flowers and flowers under the heavy snow, leaving only
The vast land has endless forests.
Yi Feiyang thinks this location is very good. The crew can shoot the required scenes without having to travel far away. This is a great thing. It saves money, effort and worry!
According to the script written by Yi Feiyang, filming of the first scene of "Saving Female Soldier Rachel" began.
This first shot is the most important scene in the entire movie and has the most profound meaning. It mainly expresses the American people living in remote areas during World War II. Due to the outbreak of the Pacific War, the originally peaceful town became uneasy.
And the opening shot that carries all these contents is---jungle hunting!
To be precise, in the snowy jungle, a lame old hunter aimed at an elk, shot, and then continued the story.
This scene is one of the keys to the entire movie. As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning. As long as we can get a good start, Yi Feiyang believes that the subsequent filming will be much easier.
In order to take this sequence of shots, Yi Feiyang carefully recalled the beginning of the movie "At the Gate of the City" in his previous life.
In Yi Feiyang's view, the beginning of the play appropriately shows the life background of civilians in that era. A shot kills an elk in the snow, a shot blasts the enemy's head on the battlefield, and an ordinary shotgun will be used in the hands of a person with superb marksmanship.
Become a terrifying demon on the battlefield.
War turns good into evil.
Hunters are no longer targeting elk, but living humans!
With such a good introduction as "At the Battle of the City", Yi Feiyang carefully thought about it, created it, and then called the old man Abraham and told him that the first scene was to shoot him hunting in the jungle, and asked him to be "famous in his marksmanship" and "
Calm and collected."
If the old man Abraham himself were a hunter, then it would be easy to shoot such a scene. However, this kind old man, in addition to "doing soy sauce" in the movie, also "doing odd jobs" outside the movie, he took the mop with both hands.
, I have carried a broom, but I have never held a shotgun!
So when Abraham lay down in the snow, holding a fake gun made of wood, pretending to aim at the elk, Yi Feiyang immediately shook his head.
"No, your eyes are very wrong. You don't have the murderous intention of a hunter at all. Yes, your eyes must be sharper. It is best to make you look like a leopard peeping at its prey. Do you know leopards? Animal World
The kind that is fierce and cruel, and the most important thing is to be patient and ready to attack!"
Yi Feiyang patiently explained to Abraham the points of shaping the character, telling him how to act, what his eyes should look like, what his expressions should look like, and what subtexts there are in his heart...
Abraham was ashamed!
Yes, very ashamed!
He felt that before the film was even filmed, he was already holding back the crew.
So when Yi Feiyang told him the role, Abraham was very attentive, fearing that he might miss something.
"When your eyes become sharp, we will shift the main camera to the elk. Then, it turns out that the elk is a pregnant doe. At this time, your eyes will change again... Yes, it must be
You need to change, from being cold to being gentle. Do you understand what I mean? Although you are a very good hunter, you are also a very good father. Your three sons all died on the battlefield for the country, and you
You are lame and can only hunt here with a shotgun, unable to do anything. In your heart you have fascist hatred, love for your son, and love for your daughter. Love and hate are intertwined. This is your subtext!"
Yi Feiyang wanted to say everything he wanted to say and express in one breath.
Abraham was dumbfounded.
As the "Millennium Soy Sauce Emperor", how could he ever hear a director say this to himself?!
Filming turns out to be so knowledgeable, and filming turns out to be so difficult!
People, you really have to live and learn!
Dear wife, if you can see it in heaven, you will definitely be happy for me. Yes, I have become a real actor!
Abraham was very excited. Under Yi Feiyang's guidance and his more than 30 years of soy sauce skills, he quickly realized the true meaning of this scene.
Seeing that Abraham had promised to do a good job, Yi Feiyang breathed a sigh of relief and said to himself, it seems that the filming will go smoothly this time. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
