With the support of Longguo Film and Television Drama Production Center, the filming of Wen Zheng's film was not as fast as expected.
Noon the next day.
In a seaside bathing beach to be developed, Zhao Xin introduced to Wen Zheng and Zhang Lin: "This is the shooting location I prepared for you. After receiving the call yesterday, I had people prepare overnight. At present, the board room area has been basically completed, and training
I didn’t dare to touch the area, but it can be arranged as required at any time. The seaside, sandy land, swamp, jungle and other terrains are no problem. I just won this project not long ago, and it is still in the early construction stage. Many places should not need to be modified.
It works."
Zhang Lin looked into the distance, nodded and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhao, this treasure land is really timely. It saves us a lot of effort."
Zhao Xin chuckled and said: "I am a rough man and can't do anything else well, but the people under me are all good at work and ensure that the construction of the base will not be delayed!"
It can be seen that Zhao Xin is still very excited to participate in the filming of a movie.
Seeing that Zhang Lin was quite satisfied with the venue, Wen Zheng asked tentatively: "When will we start shooting?"
Zhang Lin arranged: "Let's start now. I'll see if I can start filming first. You and Mr. Zhao will go to perfect the venue. There will be a convoy coming in the evening. When they arrive, we will have to really hurry up.
.”
"Now?"
Wen Zheng blinked his eyes, "No need to put in a few hanging earth reds or something? There has to be a ceremony."
Zhang Lin couldn't help laughing and said: "You have to believe in science. Didn't you say it's all in your head? Then hurry up and renovate the venue. I'll find the actors and give them some instructions, and try to shoot some night scenes at night."
Wen Zheng watched Zhang Lin go away, feeling that it was too hasty to start the machine like this.
If Zhang Lin knew this, he would definitely scold him bloody.
Do you know how to be careless?
In all the years I, Zhang Lin, have been working, I have never seen anything more careless than producing a movie in twenty days!
Zhao Xin saw that Wen Zheng was absent-minded, so he smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, I made arrangements when the work started yesterday and invited professionals to come. The water tank is thick and red, and there are two hangings connected together!"
"real?"
"How can this be false?"
"Well, I can rest assured that you can do your job. Why don't you go back and play gangster for fun?"
"real?"
"How can this be false?"
"Hey hey hey, brother, let's be open!"
…
evening.
Behind a high wall that had just been built by the seaside, there were heavily armed soldiers standing.
"All departments prepare, actiong!"
After Zhang Lin shouted, as the slate rang out, the soldiers behind the high wall all stood up, and then four water jets hit them, and everyone was shaken by the strong water pressure.
Suddenly, the actor playing Xiaolong fell under the wash.
The camera immediately moved up, and when the actor struggled to get up from the ground, the actor playing the female military doctor entered the scene.
She asked with concern: "No. 5, do you need my help?"
The camera again shows Xiaolong who is exhausted but has a determined look.
"no thanks."
Xiaolong walked out of the camera, while the female military doctor looked thoughtful.
"Cut! Pass!"
Director Zhang shouted, and the audience burst into applause.
As a rule, the first scene must be shouted no matter what, and others must also applaud in celebration.
After filming on the monitor, Wen Zheng slowly stood up and applauded.
From his perspective, the short scene just now is almost inseparable from the movie scenes in his memory.
But he couldn't be happy.
Regarding the camera angle, he relied on his memory and told Director Zhang his thoughts in advance. Director Zhang immediately understood that Wen Zheng was not directing blindly, which really saved a lot of time in adjusting the camera position and editing.
However, for just a few seconds of the scene on the screen, apart from the time spent building the high wall in the afternoon and arranging flagpoles and other backgrounds, the entire crew was busy for nearly two hours before starting the filming.
It's a credit to the actors that they didn't make any mistakes, otherwise I don't know how much time it would have been delayed.
As for what he did for these two hours, Wen Zheng couldn't tell. Anyway, from preparation to official start-up, it took two hours.
This can't go on like this.
After he told Zhang Lin his idea, he was told that some necessary preparations must not be made quickly.
For example, explosion scenes, rock climbing scenes, underwater scenes, etc. all need to be treated with caution by the relevant staff, otherwise problems can easily occur.
Wen Zheng was silent for a moment and suggested: "Can we camp on the spot? The filming is closed, and the food and accommodation are all here. It saves the time of coming to the studio and finishing the scene preparation. Wouldn't it increase the efficiency?"
Zhang Lin looked at him for a few times and said with a wry smile: "I think you are really crazy. Okay, anyway, they are employees of our company and have experienced all kinds of conditions. But one thing is that the food must not be bad, otherwise problems will easily arise."
.”
"It goes without saying."
Wen Zheng smiled and immediately called Zhao Xin to make arrangements.
In the following days, the entire crew lived and ate together with Zhao Xin's workers. Although some foreigners occasionally complained, on the whole there were no problems and the shooting efficiency improved a lot as expected.
The play "Out of the Amazon" can actually be divided into three parts.
The first half of the film is mostly about scenes at the training ground; the middle part is about training and assessment scenes, mainly including a gun battle and a water prison scene; and the last part is the scene where the big villain appears, and the main scene changes from the water prison to the ship.
Under Director Zhang's mediation, the scenes were not shot in the order in the script, but were adjusted according to the location, basically achieving the minimum number of location rotations.
For example, for the scenes at the training ground, Director Zhang shot them together regardless of the timeline.
Famous scenes such as the foreign soldier holding the rifle in his teeth, the black brother who couldn't stand the training and gave up after ringing the bell, the little dragon fighting the foreign soldier in the quagmire, the injustice case of corn cakes, etc. were actually all filmed in one time period.
After filming the training part, Director Zhang started filming the scenes in the barracks.
For example, stealing corn tortillas, eating raw beef, the instructor changing Xiaolong's boots, playing the Dragon Kingdom military parade and other cultural dramas, all of which do not change the venue, only change the people and obey the way.
With Director Zhang's scheduling and Wen Zheng's cheating suggestions on the flight locations, it took only three days and the process was almost halfway done.
Zhang Lin looked at the unedited footage and couldn't help but praise: "I have to say, your suggestions are very accurate every time. Look at these shots, they have a very cinematic quality. If I were to
Directed by someone else, I definitely wouldn’t be able to do it so perfectly in one go, and I’d have to work harder in post-editing. Honestly, have you learned it?”
Wen Zheng smiled awkwardly and said: "What the hell, I said I have a very good memory. My scripts are written based on the pictures in my mind."
Since taking the small pill given by the system, his body has actually had an effect similar to that of cleansing the essence and cutting out the marrow.
As far as memory is concerned, some of the vague memories he had before time travel can now be recalled in high definition at any time.
It is no exaggeration to say that if he was asked to take the college entrance examination now, as long as he prepared a little, it would be equivalent to entering the examination room with a database.
While the two were chatting, Zhao Xin, who had been in charge of logistics recently, ran over and took Wen Zheng aside.
"The funds given to you are not enough?"
Wen Zheng said in surprise.
Zhao Xin smiled and said: "The food money you gave is more than enough. I heard that tomorrow we have to change the shooting scene of the gun fight and the water prison. Look... Hehe, you should give me the lines and so on. I will watch them in the next few days.
Actors basically have the same routine, and I have a bad memory, so I plan to stay up late tonight to prepare, so as not to forget my lyrics when filming starts."
Wen Zheng suddenly realized.
Only then did he remember that he had promised Zhao Xin before that he would also play.
"Say no more, Fuck! Try this."
Wen Zheng said with a smile.
Zhao Xin looked confused.
You kid is in a daze, how can you curse someone when you are so good?
Wen Zheng reminded: "Your lines are small, but the role you play is a ruthless villain, and there are close-ups. In that scene, you are the protagonist."
Zhao Xin was thoughtful, and after reciting the lines that Wen Zheng just said twice, he slapped his thigh and suddenly laughed:
"I understand, people are cruel and don't talk much! How wrong?"
