Chapter 815

Nearly a month has passed since the opening of the first martial arts film "sword out of Huashan" in Ningshan film and Television City, but the shooting work is not going smoothly.

At least it has not reached the planned progress, and it can be basically determined that there is no hope of landing the domestic cinema during the summer vacation.

This makes the crew's morale a little low.

You know, for this big film, Chenfei media has prepared for nearly a year, and all aspects of preparation can be said to be quite sufficient. However, in the actual shooting process, it still encountered many problems.

These problems mainly focus on martial arts.

"Ka!"

Chen Guozhi put down the microphone in his hand, shook his sore legs and feet, stood up, clapped his hands and said, "let's stop here today and continue tomorrow."

On the set, both the actors and the crew were relieved.

Today's play is very tired. There are both literary and martial arts. Director Chen Guozhi and director Lu Chen personally take charge of it. They attach great importance to it. Naturally, everyone is conscientious and dare not relax at all.

From 7:00 in the morning to 9:00 in the evening, everyone's nerves are tight. They are very tired both physically and mentally. Now they finally stick to the end.

But with so much effort and sweat, there are not many qualified shots. Tomorrow, we have to remake and make-up, which will be a new round of suffering.

Lu Chen then got up and said, "let's rest early and don't stay up late..."

Of course, he can see that everyone's mood is not high, but making movies is like this. If you want to make real high-quality products, it will never be an easy and simple thing.

Behind success, there are often too many unknown hardships. The wonderful and enjoyment that the audience see in the cinema requires them to work hard in obscurity.

Lu Chen can only find a way to make up for it and will never relax his requirements. In fact, to be honest, many of the shots taken today are already excellent in the eyes of experts, but they don't achieve the effect he wants to achieve.

It's reasonable that the crew is under great pressure.

At this time, Chen Guozhi said to him, "Xiao Lu, let's go back to the hotel and have a chat?"

Lu Chen was slightly stunned and hurriedly replied, "OK."

Back in the hotel, it's already 10 p.m.

The place where Chen Guozhi and Lu Chen talked was not in the room, but in a small restaurant. Here were Chen Feier, the producer, cameraman, drama manager and Chen Guozhi's assistant, who was the real confidant of the great director.

In fact, similar small meetings have been held several times during the shooting process.

It's so late that the restaurant of the hotel must have closed long ago. However, the crew of Xiaoao Jianghu stationed here is not an ordinary guest. The service provided by the hotel is extremely considerate. No matter how late you want to order a meal, there is no problem, and the night snack is no exception.

Chen Guozhi is old and pays attention to health preservation. He doesn't have such a good appetite. He is full after eating a bowl of mushroom soup noodles, and then pour a cup of Longjing tea and taste it slowly.

Lu Chen and others knew that he had something to say, so they casually ate some to fill their stomachs, asked the waiter to withdraw the plate and drink tea with him.

After drinking a cup of tea, Chen Guozhi said in a thoughtful tone: "Xiao Lu, our current shooting progress is a lot behind. Have you considered speeding up?"

The shooting progress is backward, mainly behind the one in charge of Lu Chen.

In addition to playing the leading actor, Lu Chen also served as the action director of Xiaoao Jianghu. The action director has appeared in the film industry at home and abroad for a long time. He is mainly responsible for the design and guidance of fighting in the film. He is the leader in charge of the shooting, scheduling and editing of all action scenes.

However, Lu Chen's action director is different from other peers. According to his definition, the action director of martial arts film is the general person in charge of the design, training, arrangement, scheduling, shooting, editing and other artistic creation activities of martial arts and action scenes in the creation of martial arts action film from the subjective and objective conditions such as script, director, actor and on-site environment, The importance is not under the director.

"Xiaoao Jianghu" is essentially different from other action films, including ghost films. It is precisely to deepen this difference that Lu Chen has extremely strict requirements for shooting action scenes.

As a true martial arts film, there are many martial arts scenes in Xiaoao Jianghu. Lu Chen pursues authenticity in action fighting in order to achieve an artistic sense of reality through the processing of art and technology.

Therefore, he must balance the relationship between truth and falsehood, strive to reasonably "embed" the martial arts actions in the characters and plots in the logical relationship of the story plot, and make all the martial arts actions in the film naturally and brilliantly as much as possible.

To achieve his goal and meet his requirements is undoubtedly a great pressure for actors!

"Xiaoao Jianghu" is not "ghost of a beautiful girl". The background of the film is huge, involving many sects, such as Shaolin, Wudang, Wuyue sword sect, Riyue Shenjiao and so on. There are a large number of actors, but most of them lack experience in this field.

With the help of Wu Ti, we can undoubtedly solve a large part of the problems, but Wu Ti cannot replace from beginning to end. It also needs corresponding training and cooperation. In addition, many group performances also have to learn the basic routines.

In this way, the people in Lu's class are really not enough. Lu Chen often has to demonstrate in person and help the actors correct them repeatedly. It's strange that the shooting progress is not behind!

Fortunately, now it is all digital photography without film. Before, I didn't know how many discs to waste, and the cost is unbearable.

Delaying the progress is a problem. The bigger problem is the psychological pressure of the actors and crew.

Chen Guozhi's tone is not heavy, but it still shows a hint of silk asking, which quietly makes the atmosphere in the small restaurant dignified - is he expressing dissatisfaction?

Lu Chen felt the pressure from the great director. He thought about it and replied in a deep voice: "director Chen, according to the current situation, it is difficult for us to speed up our progress. I think we must first ensure the quality and effect..."

"We're not in a hurry!"

Similar words, Lu Chen told reporters before, but the object he is now answering is Chen Guozhi.

Chen Guozhi is the director of Xiaoao Jianghu. Lu Chen's words are suspected of challenging his authority.

Several important members of the crew here can't help but panic. If they have a conflict at work, can the film continue like this?

Lu Chen's answer is too direct. Can't he be more euphemistic? Or compromise?
