On the first day of startup, the crew has been filming the riverside play. It is very difficult to shoot a good film on the big screen. Often one shot, because the actor's expression is not in place, the director will shout Ka, and then start again. The scenes that are shot once or twice, even two or three times, four or five times are smooth. Lu Yang watched it here for several hours, I saw one of the seemingly simple scenes and was stunned to shoot it more than a dozen times.
Either Zhang Li's expression is not in place, or there is a problem with Zhao Wenzhuo, or there are defects in photography or props, and this is just a literary play without great difficulty. If it's shooting a martial arts play, I don't know how many times to card.
Probably seeing Lu Yang frown, Yuan Yu, sitting in the director's chair, smiled and explained: "the crew has just been established, the personnel have no tacit understanding, and there are many natural problems. Just wait a little longer!"
Lu Yang nodded and said nothing.
In film shooting, he is a pure layman and can't tell what to do.
……
After one day's shooting, Lu Yang fulfilled his promise and invited not only the director Yuan Yu, but also the stars Wang Lin, Dai Qingwa, Zhao Wenzhuo, Zhang Li, Wang Xiaoyu and Dao Xinyi to the hotel. In addition to these familiar stars, Lu Yang also had several familiar old Kung Fu stars. Yuan Yu's face was really big enough, and Chen Guanyu, Luo Tan, Liang Xiaolong and Xiong Xinxin were all present.
These four people may not know you and their audience now, but when old-fashioned martial arts films were in power, these four people were all Kung Fu stars of that era.
Chen GUANCHEN and Luo Tan are the disciples of Zhang Che, the great master of martial arts films. Chen GUANCHEN starred in the classic Ma Yongzhen in the eyes of a generation. Luo Tan's ferocious appearance, Qiu knot muscles and powerful and vigorous skills have appeared in most martial arts films of Zhang Che. He often plays first-class experts with high martial arts skills.
As for Liang Xiaolong, the fire cloud evil god in Xingye's Kung Fu, Chen Zhen in Huo Yuanjia... A real Kung Fu, even now, many people still remember.
Xiong Xinxin's name may be unfamiliar to everyone, but if you say ghost foot seven in Huang Feihong, there must be few people who don't know. He not only played ghost foot seven, but also the broken swordsman, which Lu Yang likes very much, starred him and Zhao Wenzhuo. Xiong Xinxin plays the villain - double swordsman flying dragon! There is also real kung fu.
In the "dragon and snake attack" written by Lu Yang, there are many top martial arts experts. If all the newcomers are used, the audience will not buy it. Even if a new face plays beautifully, few viewers will believe that he is really a Kung Fu expert. In the eyes of the audience, the more beautiful the newcomers play, the more fake they often appear.
If all the martial arts superstars are just popular, the investment of 10 million is not enough for those superstars. Moreover, if a film wants to gather several martial arts superstars, it is often not easy to get rich.
The appearance of Kung Fu superstars depends not only on the script and investment, but also on the starring star. If you are not the absolute core of that film, you will generally not take over the performance. This is also a main reason why you rarely see more than two Kung Fu superstars in a film at the same time in film history.
But it's different to choose these former superstars who have retired from the second tier!
Their popularity is not so high, and they can get paid hundreds of thousands, but there is no doubt about their Kung Fu and acting skills. Coupled with Yuan's face, they took over the film.
Lu Yang naturally couldn't be stingy when inviting so many big coffee. He chose a five-star hotel and asked for a large box. Just serve good wine and dishes.
Lu Yang doesn't have the money to invest in movies now. It's nothing to invite a meal.
The atmosphere at the banquet was very harmonious. Yuan Zhen's identity could hold the venue, and Zhao Wenzhuo was also peaceful. Several heroines were not pure newcomers, or just separated from the newcomer period. Old Kung Fu stars such as Liang Xiaolong had no airs.
In addition, there was an active atmosphere between Wang Lin and Dai Qingwa, and nothing unpleasant happened at the table. Zhao Wenzhuo and Xiong Xinxin cooperated. They sat together, talked and laughed, pushed cups and changed lamps, and respected Yuan Yu and three other old Kung Fu stars. Those who make kung fu films will inevitably need each other to be green leaves for themselves in the future. Now they have the opportunity to get closer, so they will not let go.
Dao Xinyi is probably the most nervous at the banquet. She has not graduated from college. Although she is as beautiful as flowers, she has never participated in such a banquet. Looking around, the director is the top martial arts instructor. She starred in famous Kung Fu stars from three places on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. Even supporting actors and former Kung Fu stars. Even the other two heroines are also famous and can play.
At the table, she knew only Lu Yang. She wanted to sit next to Lu Yang, but Lu Yang, as a major investor and film writer, sat next to the director tonight. She was not qualified to sit there, so she had to sit in the corner with Wang Xiaoyu, a newcomer.
Zhang Li was very relaxed because of her relationship with Lu Yang. She politely toasted the elders one by one on the table and smiled sweetly. Her boyfriend called halfway and turned off her cell phone without thinking about it.
Just as women like to compare every woman they know, women are used to comparing every man they know in their heart. Watching Lu Yang accept everyone's toast and chat with everyone with a smile, Zhang Li inevitably compares her boyfriend with Lu Yang.
In terms of appearance, Lu Yang can surpass her boyfriend, probably only with a tall and strong figure, but in addition to appearance, she found that her boyfriend can't surpass Lu Yang anywhere.
The comparison result made her feel a little complicated.
Whether in terms of talent, financial resources or social status, Lu Yang has burst her genuine boyfriend. If she has nothing to do with Lu Yang, she may just be a little envious, but what kind of relationship does she have with Lu Yang!
……
Lu Yang didn't care what the women thought. He didn't forget the main purpose of the treat. After a round of drinking, he began to exchange his views on Dragon and snake attack with Yuan Yu.
After all, the script is something on paper. During the shooting process, the director may add or subtract the play according to his own ideas at any time, and the style may be far different.
Yuan Zhen's idea is that the fighting scene takes the actual combat route with a little special effects. In terms of the overall style, it takes the form of Jin Yong's martial arts, which are different from Lu Yang's idea.
Lu Yang patiently explained his ideas. Yuan Zhen, Zhao Wenzhuo and others listened attentively. Only the screenwriter knows a script best, not to mention Lu Yang, who is still an investor.
From time to time, they will also insert two sentences. Lu Yang's meaning is very simple. In terms of style, he requires fierce and fierce. In terms of special effects, he thinks much more exaggerated than yuan Yu. This is also Lu Yang's original intention when writing this script. This script is not a martial arts film in the traditional sense. It has a very strong online style.
Yuan Yu sometimes nodded in agreement, sometimes slightly shook his head to express different opinions.
It took more than three hours to finish a meal.
This is also the first time Lu Yang introduced his ideas to the directors and stars. As for the final product of the film, he didn't know until after shooting.
……
After the banquet ended, Lu Yang returned to the hotel. It was not long before Zhang Li knocked on the door. Zhang Li tonight showed rare enthusiasm. In the end, it was not like Lu Yang on her, but like her on Lu Yang.
After that, Zhang Li lay in Lu Yang's arms, pinching several hairs and scratching Lu Yang's nose. Lu Yang avoided and asked, "Why are you so enthusiastic tonight? Didn't you have enough last night?"
Zhang Li's bright big eyes looked at Lu Yang and asked, "don't you like it?"
Lu Yang turned his mouth up slightly and said with a smile, "no! I just want to ask you why you are so happy? What's good? Say it and share it!"
Zhang Li bit her lower lip and didn't answer the question. She suddenly sat up and said, "it's still early. How about going to the night market?"
"Night market?"
Lu Yang shook his head slightly.
"What can I do? You have to shoot tomorrow!"
When it comes to filming, Zhang Li was reminded of her resentment and pouted slightly: "how do you mean to say filming tomorrow? I have only a few scenes. I won't have mine tomorrow and the day after tomorrow! Let's go! You've never accompanied me across the street! No one will recognize you at night! I'm an actor, I'm not afraid. What are you afraid of?"
Lu Yang thought she wanted to buy something for her, showing a helpless smile. He pulled his trousers from the head of the bed, took out his wallet from his pocket, threw it to Zhang Li, and said, "take some money. When you are free, go and buy it yourself!"
Lu Yang expected that when she saw the wallet she threw, Zhang Li either took it directly or pretended to be angry. Then she comforted him casually and went happily to get the money.
But after throwing the wallet, Lu Yang found that Zhang Li's reaction was a little strange. Her bright big eyes stared directly at his face, closed her mouth tightly, and didn't speak for a long time. It was a little scary.
"What's the matter with you?"
Lu Yang asked her with a slight frown.
Lu Yang's words were like a switch. Just now she was still motionless and looked at him directly. Zhang Li suddenly went to get the underwear thrown everywhere and put it on her. The speed was very fast.
"What's the matter with you?"
Lu Yang got up and pulled her arm, pulled her shoulder and let her face herself. At this time, Lu Yang saw the tears in Zhang Li's eyes, and her shoulder was already slightly shaking.
"Do you think I miss your money? What do you think of me?"
Zhang Lihong questioned Lu Yang.
As soon as Lu Yang's eyes closed, his face turned to one side and wanted to curse! What's going on? It's an unspoken rule. How can it start to involve feelings?
"Say it! What do you think of me as a toy?"
Zhang Li is still questioning.
Lu Yang didn't want to answer this question. He really thought so in his heart, but it was too hurtful to say it. When he opened his eyes, Lu Yang stepped forward and hugged Zhang Li in his arms and comforted him: "OK! What's the big deal? Isn't it just going to the night market? Can't I go with you?"
Zhang Li resisted his hug, but finally she didn't ask that question again. She showed a smiling face and dressed with Lu Yang, ready to go to the night market.
It's always hard to guess a woman's mind!
