On July 10, after a simple opening ceremony, the filming of "Legend of Sword and Fairy - Yue Ru Zhuan" officially started.
Because this movie focuses on Lin Yueru, the starting shooting location was the antique Linjiabao in Suzhou.
As the saying goes, there is heaven above, and Suzhou and Hangzhou below. The beauty of ancient Suzhou is comparable to that of Hangzhou, especially Suzhou gardens, which have become the most classic garden design in China.
The Daxing Film and Television Base was modeled after Suzhou gardens, and it was also used as the Linjia Fort.
The first shot at the beginning shows the beautiful scenery of Linjiabao Garden, which gives people a sense of antique fantasy. After 7 seconds of beautiful scenery, the camera comes to Linjiabao's training ground.
Before the scene came, the sound of the whip came first. When the camera zoomed in, Lin Yueru, dressed in a smart outfit, was seen holding a golden snake whip and practicing whip techniques on the training ground. The sound of the golden snake whip hitting the ground made a crackling sound, and the sharp movements made people even more excited.
People are amazed.
After about five seconds of demonstration of the whip technique, Lin Yueru began to practice the sword technique again. Five seconds later it became the sword technique, and five seconds later it became the hammer technique.
In just one and a half minutes, Lin Yueru vividly demonstrated his martial arts skills with eighteen kinds of weapons. The footage was similar to the video that Ma Xiaolong took to show Cinnabar various weapons in the courtyard. However, the shooting skills were different.
The picture quality, beauty, compactness, etc. are far better than before.
Feng Pengtong kept holding his breath while looking at the footage taken by Ma Xiaolong, his eyes almost popped out of his head. He couldn't believe that this was a scene taken by his own boss.
Originally, he thought that Ma Xiaolong arranged for him to be the assistant director of this movie to protect his boss, so that the boss and his wife's first movie would not be a bad movie. But now, after just watching these few scenes, he knew that he was wrong.
.
How could this be a guarantee for myself? It was obviously giving him lessons online.
In the past few years, Feng Pants has filmed several blockbuster movies in a row, and was directly promoted to the top director in the country. He even found a beautiful actress. It is impossible not to be charming.
Although he respects the boss who pays him a salary, when it comes to making movies, he is quite confident, not arrogant. He thinks that although the boss is the director of this movie, he definitely wants to learn from his experience. Originally, he
He had also prepared to be a teacher for a few months, but now he just wants to kneel on the ground and learn from his boss. What is making a movie?
After Lin Yueru finished practicing, a delicate little maid handed over a wet towel: "Miss, you are so amazing!"
"Stop!" Ma Xiaolong called a timeout on the spot and said to the actor who played the role of the little maid: "Stop reciting your lines dryly, have you learned your expressions and tone?"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." The little maid didn't expect that even a supporting role of hers would be required to be so strict. She was so nervous that she started to tremble when she spoke.
"What I want is not an apology, but an attitude! An attitude towards filming!" Ma Xiaolong shouted: "Even if you have a small role, you have to play it well. If you don't play it, someone else will play it! Do you know!?"
"I know... I know."
Ma Xiaolong's reprimand immediately made all the actors and staff members on the scene feel nervous. They no longer dared to have any playful thoughts. They all corrected their attitudes and tried their best to do their jobs well.
Li Xin, who was on the sidelines, saw this scene and completely agreed with Master's approach.
She had long noticed that the attitudes of the people on the crew seemed not to be correct. It could not be said that they were not correct, but they were more or less undisciplined. It seemed that they were not here to work, but to have fun.
She could see it, and Master could definitely see it too. Perhaps this was the reason why Master, who had always been gentle, scolded an ordinary little maid loudly.
The purpose is to establish the prestige of the director so that everyone on the crew does not dare to take it lightly.
Sure enough, after being scolded by Ma Xiaolong, the quality and progress of the filming were much better than before. The filming continued until the evening, when Ma Xiaolong announced a temporary break and asked the actors to have a packed lunch first and continue filming in the evening.
The crew of this period did not have the bad habit of more than ten years later where the main actors had to stay in star-rated hotels and open small stoves alone. Everyone ate lunch boxes together, and no one received special treatment. Even Feng Pants ate box lunches together.
, of course, assistant directors and leading actors like him will basically add an extra chicken drumstick to their lunch boxes, which can be regarded as the only special treatment!
"Director Ma, I'm convinced." Feng Pengtong squatted next to Ma Xiaolong and expressed his admiration while eating his lunch: "I thought you didn't know how to film, but I didn't expect that you are a real person and don't show your face.
A man's heart will judge a gentleman's belly."
Ma Xiaolong laughed and said, "Don't say that. I'm just a new director. I have to ask Director Feng to put in more effort in future filming."
"Hey! Just take a look!"
Ma Xiaolong smiled slightly and turned to look at the small circle of Lin Yueru, Zhao Ling'er and Anu. It was really strange that they had all met for the first time, but they had become like sisters so quickly.
Maybe you feel sympathy for Jingtian because he is too young?
After dinner, when the moon was at its zenith, the crew began filming the scene of Lin Yueru and Li Xiaoyao enjoying the moon in the garden.
When Ma Xiaolong put on Li Xiaoyao's knight uniform and appeared in front of everyone with a dashing look, everyone exclaimed.
It's so similar, it's like Li Xiaoyao really appeared in this world.
On the other side, Chen Jun, who put on Zhao Ling'er's clothes, also made everyone exclaim.
Li Xiaoyao, Lin Yueru, and Zhao Ling'er, these three actors' appearances are simply like the real characters in the original work who have come to the world. In comparison, Anu played by Jingtian lacks a bit of resemblance, which makes Jingtian instantly have a feeling
A sense of crisis.
In early June, she was planning how to spend the upcoming summer vacation. Unexpectedly, she saw a newspaper report about the nationwide audition for Anu for the film crew of Legend of Sword and Fairy. The conditions set made her eyes light up and she felt that she
Except for the slight difference in age, everything else fits Anu's image very well.
In the past few years, the "Legend of Sword and Fairy" and the comics were so popular that even now, it is still a classic that is regarded by domestic fans, comics fans, and game fans.
As a girl who loves to play, Jingtian has read the comics of Fairy Sword since she was in her early ten years, and has become a fan of Fairy Sword comics since then. Last year, she also bought the remastered version of Fairy Sword and played it for more than a month.
Passed customs smoothly.
After clearing the level, she burst into tears. It was so tear-jerking. It was just a game. Why was it so tear-jerking? It was even more tear-jerking than the comics.
But after that, she bought a lot of fairy sword peripherals to decorate her dormitory in the capital school. The sisters in the same dormitory said that she and Anu looked very similar. She also felt that they were similar, with their big eyes and appearance.
She is sweet, has a generous personality, and is quirky. Sometimes, she feels like she is the reincarnation of Anu.
After a year of this, the opportunity to play Anu suddenly appeared in front of her. Of course she wanted to try it. After communicating with her parents on the phone, her parents rushed over from her hometown and took her to the crew to register and participate in the audition.
.
At that time, she saw too many beautiful and lovely girls at the audition. Although most of them were not as good as her, there were still a dozen girls who made her feel a huge threat, because those girls seemed to have studied acting.
But she is just a dance student, and performance is her natural disadvantage.
Unexpectedly, after the audition, she successfully entered the second round of interview selection. During the second round of interview, although the other two assessors were dissatisfied with her performance, she was spotted by Feng Pants and was instantly
It was decided that she would play the role of Anu.
It's a pity that Feng Pants looks like... right! Otherwise, she really wanted to hug Feng Pants and kiss him twice.
Twenty days passed like this, she was on summer vacation, and the Fairy Sword crew was officially established.
Because the filming location of the movie was at the Daxing Film and Television Base, it was impossible for his parents to stay here with her. Fortunately, Feng Pants patted his chest and promised to take good care of her, so her parents left the capital with peace of mind. During these days, Feng
Feng Pong also arranged for her to stay in a hotel temporarily. Of course, the main actors of the crew also lived here. Some female characters were entrusted by Feng Pong to take care of her, so she was living quite well these days.
Until today, the legendary protagonist and director came to the set. When she saw it, she was shocked on the spot.
Because she seemed to have seen Li Xiaoyao, Zhao Ling'er and Lin Yueru come out of comics and games. She had never experienced such a shock in more than ten years. But she never expected that the director and starring Ma Xiaolong was so handsome, almost as beautiful as
The girl is even more beautiful.
She couldn't believe that there were such attractive boys in the world.
However, the first time they met, she was exposed by Ma Xiaolong, who exposed the peepshow and pointed out her age fraud. Fortunately, Ma Xiaolong did not argue with her, but he really scared her to death at the time, which also made her later
I didn't dare to talk to him for a long time.
Especially in the first scene that was filmed in the afternoon, Ma Xiaolong scolded the little maid. His violent temper made her even more afraid to speak or even approach him.
The two leading actors, Zhu Sha and Chen Jun, treated her like a little sister, which made her feel a little warm.
But as the filming of the moon-viewing scene started, and seeing the appearance of Ma Xiaolong, Zhu Sha and Chen Jun, the feeling from the inside out was exactly the same as the fairy sword trio she had imagined, and even exceeded her imagination.
, she had a premonition that she would be the one holding back.
Why? Why are the three of them so young, but their acting skills are so good? So good that there is no trace of acting at all, as if they themselves are Li Xiaoyao, Zhao Ling'er and Lin Yueru, who just came to the world by chance and relived their experiences by the way.
Showed it again.
This put huge pressure on Jingtian. After two consecutive days of filming, the pressure not only did not ease, but became more and more serious. It was also thanks to Anu's scene in the later stage, and the total was less than two minutes, so it was not
Leave her no time to deal with it.
It's just that she doesn't know how to handle this situation?
She knew that she couldn't act, and the effect of the performance was particularly embarrassing. She also knew that she was chosen because her image and temperament were similar to Anu, so she was spotted by Feng Pants at a glance, but she was the one who starred in the trio.
Her acting skills are also so good, like a famous painting handed down from generation to generation, flawless.
And I am like a piece of dirty ink. Once it enters the painting, it will only dirty this famous painting.
"What should I do? What should I do? What should I do?" Jingtian has not thought about food or tea for the past two days. He has suffered from insomnia at a young age. He wakes up every morning with a pair of dark circles under his eyes, which makes everyone a little worried, especially...
Zhu Sha and Chen Jun always ask her what's wrong?
She didn't know how to answer. She couldn't say, "Your acting skills are so good that it puts me under too much pressure and I can't sleep," right?
I could only shake my head to express that I was just studying the script at night and fell asleep too late.
Zhu Sha and Chen Jun had no doubts and told her not to work too hard and to sleep when she should.
She could only express her gratitude.
Just when she was so worried that she had no choice but to do anything, a turning point appeared.
On the fourth day of filming, when the afternoon shooting was over, Ma Xiaolong announced that he would not film in the evening, and the whole crew would watch the live broadcast of the Olympic bid together in the hotel lobby at night.
Today is July 13, the decisive day for the Beijing Olympic Games bid.
Ma Xiaolong remembered this day in his last life. He was watching live TV in a small town. However, there was a sudden power outage in the evening, causing the whole alley to be filled with curses. Fortunately, the call came two hours later, and he watched it smoothly.
Let’s get to the scene where Beijing’s bid for the Olympics was successful.
In this life, although I know that Beijing's bid for the Olympics will definitely be successful, others don't know it! When the crew was filming today, the actors and staff were not in as good a condition as the previous two days, and during the break they were talking about the Olympics instead of acting.
He knew that he couldn't shoot night scenes today, so he simply took the afternoon off, and in the evening the whole crew watched the live broadcast at the hotel where they were staying.
When he gave this order, the whole crew cheered in unison, and some even shouted: "Long live Director Ma!"
Curse me?
Ma Xiaolong glanced at the actor who called him long live. She was the actress who played the role of Butterfly. She was twenty years old this year. She looked gentle and virtuous, but she was a little wild at heart, which was commonly known as sultry.
Humph! If he hadn't had two wives by his side and a disciple watching him, he would have had to let her know how powerful he was as a teacher.
The crew finished work early and returned to the hotel. It was rare to have free time today. Ma Xiaolong borrowed the hotel kitchen and made a few side dishes with his own hands. He returned to the room and called Zhu Sha, Chen Jun, and Li Xin over to have a good meal together.
.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Sha and Chen Jun also called the 'lonely and helpless' Jingtian.
Although he was a little surprised, he didn't say anything and waved to Jingtian: "Come and sit."
"Excuse me." Jingtian timidly walked to sit opposite him, not daring to sit next to him.
Ma Xiaolong looked at her and said, "Are you afraid of me?"
"No...not afraid."
"..."
Doesn't this look scary?
"Let's eat first!" Ma Xiaolong opened a few bottles of iced drinks and asked everyone to sit down and eat.
If you have anything to say, talk while eating.
