Perfect Superstar

Almost a month has passed since the inauguration of the first song of "Jianxiao Jianghua Mountain" in the Wujiang Great Movie in Ningshan Film and Television City, but the shooting has not gone smoothly.

At least not at the planned pace, it is generally possible to determine that there is no prospect of landing on domestic exhibitors during the summer holidays.

This lowers the morale of the crew a little.

You know, for this big movie, Chenfield Media was prepared almost a year ago, and everything was fairly well prepared, but there were still a lot of problems during the actual shooting.

These problems are still focused mainly on martial arts.

“Cut!”

Chen Guozhi put down the microphone in his hand, shivered his legs and feet and stood up and clapped his hands. “That's it for today, continue tomorrow. ”

In the studio, actors and crews alike were relieved.

Today's theatre filming is particularly tiring, both literature and martial arts, Chen Guozhi and Lu Chen directors sitting in town personally, the importance is unusual, everyone is naturally dedicated, do not dare to be lazy at all.

From 7: 00 a.m. onwards to 9: 00 p.m. onwards, everyone's nerves were tight, tired from body to spirit, and now they're finally at an end.

But with all the hard work and sweat, and not many qualified shots, we have to retake tomorrow, and it will be a new round of suffering.

Lu Chen stood up and said: "Everyone rest early, don't stay up late...”

Of course, he can see that people are not in the mood, but that's how movies are made, and it's never easy to make real boutiques.

Behind success, there is often too much unknown hardship, and the wonderful and enjoyable viewers see in cinemas require them to work in silence.

Lu Chen also had to find a way to make up for it, and would never relax the demands. In fact, a lot of the footage taken today seemed excellent to the inner pedestrian, but he didn't achieve the results he wanted to achieve 100%.

The crew is under a lot of pressure and is naturally in the right place.

At this time, Chen Guozhi said to him: "Lu, can we go back to the hotel for a moment? ”

Lu Chen was slightly stunned and quickly replied: "Okay. ”

Back in the hotel, it's 10 pm.

Chen Guochi and Lu Chen were not talking in the room, but in a small restaurant. Chen Fei and the assistant producers, cameramen, theatre and Chen Guochi were also present, the latter being the true heart of the great director.

In fact, there have been several small meetings like this during the shooting process.

It is already so late, the hotel's restaurant must have closed long ago, but the "Laughter River Lake" crew based 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 is fine, night snacks are naturally no exception.

Chen Guozhi is older, he doesn't have such a good appetite for health care. After eating a bowl of mushroom noodles, he fills them up, then pours a cup of Longjing tea and slowly tastes them.

Lu Chen et al. knew he had something to say, so everyone ate something to fill their stomachs, asked the waiter to remove the plate, and drank tea with him.

After a cup of tea, Chen Guozhi said in a discretionary tone: "Xiao Lu, our shooting is lagging far behind. Have you considered accelerating? ”

The shooting is behind schedule, mainly on this part of Lu Chen's responsibility.

In addition to acting as the male lead actor, Lu Chen also served as the action director of "Laughter River and Lake". The action director appeared early in the film industry at home and abroad. He was mainly responsible for the design and guidance of the fighting in the film. He was the leading character in charge of the shooting, scheduling and cutting of all action scenes.

However, Lu Chen's action director is different from other colleagues. According to his definition, the action director of the martial arts film is the chief responsible for the design, training, scheduling, scheduling, shooting, editing and other artistic creation activities of martial arts and action scenes, starting from the subjective and objective conditions of scripts, directors, actors, scene environments, etc., and the importance is not under the director.

There is also an intrinsic difference between Laughter River and Lake and other action films, including ghost films. It is precisely in order to deepen this difference that Lu Chen is extremely demanding in shooting action scenes.

As a true martial arts film, there are a lot of martial arts scenes in Laughter River and Lake. Lu Chen's fight for action is based on authenticity. The aim is to achieve an artistic sense of authenticity through the processing of art and technology.

He must therefore strike a balance between the real and the false, striving to “embed” the martial arts in the logical relationship of the storyline rationally in the characters and plots, so as to make all the martial arts in the film as legitimate and brilliant as possible.

And trying to achieve his purpose and meet his requirements is undoubtedly stressful for the actor!

"Laughter River and Lake" is not "The Ghost of Qian Women". The background of the film is ambitious. It involves Shaolin, Wudang, Wuyue Jianpai, Sun Moon Theocracy and many other sectarian forces. The number of performers is large, but most lack experience in this regard.

Much of the problem can undoubtedly be solved through the use of martial arts, but martial arts cannot be replaced from beginning to end, and the corresponding training and cooperation are required, as well as a number of mass performances that also have to learn basic methods.

In this way, Lu Jiaban's people are really not enough. Many times Lu Chen has to personally set up demonstrations to help the actor to make corrections repeatedly. It is only aggressive if the shooting progress is not behind schedule!

Fortunately, it's now full-digital photography without film, and I don't know how many plates to squander before, and the cost is overwhelming.

Delaying progress is a problem, and the greater problem is the psychological stress of actors and crew members.

Chen Guozhi's tone was not heavy, but he quietly condensed the atmosphere in the small restaurant with a hint of questioning - was he expressing dissatisfaction?

Lu Chen felt the pressure from the great director. He thought about it and answered in a loud voice: “Director Chen, according to the current situation, it is difficult to speed up our progress. I think we must first guarantee quality and effectiveness...”

“We're not in a hurry! ”

More or less, Lu Chen had told reporters before, but now he is answering to Chen Guozhi.

Chen Guozhi is the director of Laughter River and Lake. These words by Lu Chen are suspected of challenging his authority.

Some of the important players in this group panicked. If there was a conflict at work, could the film go on like this?

Lu Chen's answer is too straightforward, can't you be more polite? Or isn't it a good idea to compromise?
