In the center of Shanghai, after attending the launch press conference, the crew moved to Songjiang District. This area is the old city and was divided for the crew to shoot. There were no residential buildings nearby because the filming was not ordinary.
It is an urban drama, but a war movie. The sound of explosions on the set is constant all day long. No one can bear it. Therefore, Wang Zhengfei took this aspect into consideration at the beginning of the location selection. When he first selected the location, there was no one.
area.
According to Wang Zhengfei's consistent characteristic, it is just one word, fast. For him, time seems to never be enough.
It is different from the press conference. Although the press conference has changed into military uniforms, the military uniforms are very handsome and look extraordinary. But now we are about to shoot, so naturally we need to do some makeup.
The opening scene was to film the scene after the time-travel. The scene before the time-travel was only a few shots. At the end, Wang Zhengfei would just have to re-shoot it himself.
After the protagonist traveled through time, he faced a brutal battle, and basically got back on track without any respite.
Actors with game points were put on various costumes by makeup artists. Basically, all of them were wearing makeup. Even if there were a few who were not injured, their faces were painted with smoky makeup. There was no need to deliberately
To pursue that kind of effect, how many people in the future will pursue the smoky look, but Wang Zhengfei is sure that no one on the set will like it.
The only one who can be considered relatively normal is Wang Zhengfei. Zhou Weiguo in Wang Zhengfei's setting is a battalion commander parachuted from the center at the beginning. He is known as a pretty boy. Even on the battlefield where artillery fire is flying, he still has to remain relatively fresh and handsome.
The image of the battalion commander played by Wang Zhengfei was very disdainful at first.
However, this refreshing image will not last long, and I have to apply smoky makeup.
The first scene of filming did not involve Wang Zhengfei, but was shot from a first-person perspective. The scene was shot when Zhou Weiguo, played by Wang Zhengfei, had just woken up from a coma.
"Lao Zhang, when you lie on the ground later, you must hold the camera steady!" Wang Zhengfei warned the photographer.
This photographer is basically Wang Zhengfei's royal photographer. He has been with Wang Zhengfei since "Immortality" and is one of Wang Zhengfei's earliest team members. He has followed Wang Zhengfei from "Immortality" to "Qin Shi".
"Ming Moon", and now "Snow Leopard", which is absolutely excellent technically.
"Haha, don't worry, Director Wang. Lifting the camera is our basic skill!" Lao Zhang said with a smile. In their field of photography, the camera must be stable. Basic skills, if you can't even do this, then
They have no right to hang out here.
"Yes, but it doesn't have to be particularly stable. It basically needs to look like a person's first-person perspective!" Wang Zhengfei said. Although he said that he should strive for stability, in order to achieve the first-person perspective effect, it cannot be really that stable.
, otherwise it would seem a bit fake.
"Well, I understand!" Lao Zhang nodded and said, "But director, I have something to do..."
"What's going on?" Wang Zhengfei asked. It's true that Wang Zhengfei was very strict when filming. He was basically called a devil. But when he wasn't filming, Wang Zhengfei was still very talkative. The person who just collaborated with Wang Zhengfei,
Usually after working with Wang Zhengfei for a period of time, they are afraid of Wang Zhengfei, but Lao Zhang has worked with Wang Zhengfei in two movies, so don’t you know Wang Zhengfei well?
"I brought an apprentice this year, and my apprentice also wants to come in and experience it!" Lao Zhang said with some embarrassment.
"Hey, what does this mean? No problem!" Wang Zhengfei said with a smile and looked at Lao Zhang. Now Lao Zhang is over forty years old. It's not a big deal to teach an apprentice. He has to do this.
One's skills cannot be passed down. In a few years, when Lao Zhang can no longer work, he will either switch to a clerical job, be promoted to middle management of Xingchen Printing, or retire completely. He must consider his future options in advance.
"Thank you, director, thank you director!" Lao Zhang said quickly.
"It's okay. I still believe in the vision of the person you, Lao Zhang, have chosen. When the time comes, we can let him learn to shoot some scenes that are not very important. This will also cultivate talents for our company!" Wang Zhengfei said with a smile.
Now Xingchen Entertainment has just stepped on the right track. Although it seems to have unlimited glory now, only you know the hardships inside. What is the temporary glory? The key is to form sustainable development and be able to continue to develop like this for ten or twenty years.
In the past thirty years, the fundamental reason for the collapse of many forces in the entertainment industry is the lack of talent, just like Hong Kong movies.
In a few years, the most powerful people in the mainland will start to work hard at around the age of 20 to seize future opportunities. People like Liu Yifei and Huang Shengyi are not very young, and behind them there will be Lin Peng and Li Man who are highly praised
of newcomers.
Look at the Mainland, then look at Hong Kong and Taiwan, Cecilia Cheung, twins, big S and small S. Even though their faces are still young, they are actually over thirty years old. Gui Lunmei, who is slightly younger, was also born in 1983, 80
, 90 no one at all.
The newcomers in Hong Kong and Taiwan who are around 20 years old have done nothing, which is equivalent to completely cutting off the generation. The generation of Hong Kong male actors is even more powerful. After watching the post-60s generation, there is a feeling that there is no successor.
Wang Zhengfei has always paid close attention to this, especially in the talent echelon, which is still being cultivated slowly, and there is no rush. Wang Zhengfei has always spared no effort in cultivating this talent.
After everyone was ready, Wang Zhengfei shouted: "Attention all units, lighting engineer, props engineer, prepare, three, two, one, action!"
Wang Zhengfei sat steadily on the director's chair, watching the actors' performances. He had no role in this scene.
Following Wang Zhengfei's order, the camera was opened, and the dark scene suddenly lit up. There was a blue sky above the camera, and smoke billowing next to it. In the camera, a young man in his twenties, wearing a Kuomintang military uniform, looked nervous.
He looked at Wang Zhengfei and shouted: "Master, Master, are you okay?"
In the setting, Zhou Weiguo was from a wealthy family during the Republic of China. Even when he joined the army, he brought his servant with him, which was one of the reasons why he was not popular.
"You...who are you!" Wang Zhengfei held the script next to him and read the lines.
"Master, you don't recognize me anymore. I am the Fourth Treasure!" The young man said with an anxious look. Wang Zhengfei had to sigh with emotion. His acting skills are still very good. Although these people are not famous, most of them are not newcomers.
, many of them have appeared in many movies and TV series, but they are not famous, so who can pay attention to them!
Now that I think about it, I didn't use celebrities or a lot of newcomers. It was a very wise decision. If I had used newcomers now, the filming probably wouldn't have gone so smoothly.
"Damn it, are you two done with the ink? The Japs are already here!" A rough voice came from outside the camera.
"Yes!" Si Bao responded quickly.
Suddenly, a violent explosion came from outside the camera, and the camera suddenly shook, as if the whole world was shaking, and a burst of dust flew in.
Wang Zhengfei continued to read the narration, "Where is this, [***]? Japanese devils?"
"Boom!" Another violent explosion came over, and the camera shook again.
Smoke gradually covered the sky above, and suddenly an arm flew past the camera, causing the camera to shake again.
This was specifically requested by Wang Zhengfei in order to seek a sense of reality. In previous domestic film and television dramas, there was rarely anything like this. Basically, even if it was run over by a bomb, the body would still be intact. At worst, the body would be dark, but the body would still be intact.
There is absolutely no appearance of stumps and broken arms. After all, whether it is the enemy's or one's own, it is not very elegant. This is not in line with Chinese aesthetics. Foreigners can see the sparkling blood and it is very interesting.
, but the Chinese will never do it, and the image of Gao Daquan has been popular in the country for so long. Even if you die, you have to die for a long time, and you have to shout "shoot me, I am a [***] person" and other propaganda slogans.
, basically said to be a military film, it is better to say that it uses this military film to promote the image of the party and lacks understanding of the cruelty of war. What is even more outrageous is that the militia manual actually has [***] calling on the people to use the most primitive
The propaganda of weapons and tank bombardment is almost comparable to the feat of Polish cavalry slashing tanks with swords.
But this time, Wang Zhengfei definitely didn’t want to make such a deceptive film, so he would do whatever he wanted.
"Da da da da!" The sound of machine gun fire and the roar of the rough voice from before came from the camera.
Immediately afterwards, another roaring sound like a wild beast came from outside the trench.
Immediately afterwards, the camera shook wildly, as if a person was shaking his head. After a while, it settled down. Lao Zhang has a very deep foundation in this area. He held the camera steadily and shook where it should.
He has quickly stabilized and his skills can definitely be said to be sophisticated.
"Quick, put on the grenade!"
"Hit the squad leader who's keeping an eye on that devil!"
"boom!"
"Da da da da!"
"boom!"
There was a burst of smoke around the camera, and all kinds of noises gathered together.
"Cut!" At this time, Wang Zhengfei shouted "Cut". It took a while for everyone in the camera to realize that the scene of a fierce gunfight just now. Although the gunfight was fake, the noisy sound was real. For a moment,
