Perfect Superstar

"Swordsman", the first song of the martial arts movie "Sword out of Huashan" officially started in Ningshan Film and Television City, the time has passed nearly a month, but the filming work is not going well.

At least the progress of the plan has not been reached, and it is basically possible to determine the domestic theaters that are not expected to land during the summer vacation.

This made the crew's morale a bit low.

To know that for this big movie, Chenfei Media prepared for nearly a year in advance, and all aspects of preparation can be said to be quite adequate, but in the actual shooting process, still encountered a lot of problems.

These problems are mainly concentrated on martial arts.

"Hey!"

Chen Guozhi put down the microphone in his hand, shook his legs and feet, and stood up and clap his hands and said, "Come here today, continue tomorrow."

In the studio, both the actor and the crew of the crew were greatly relieved.

Today's drama is particularly exhausting, both in the drama and in the martial arts. The directors Chen Guozhi and Lu Chen personally sit down in the town, and the degree of emphasis is extraordinary. Everyone is naturally conscientious and does not dare to slack off.

Starting from 7:00 in the morning, it is already 9 o'clock in the evening. Everyone's nerves are tight, and they are very tired from the body to the spirit. Now they finally reach the end.

However, after paying so much effort and sweat, there are not many qualified lenses. It is necessary to retake the make-up shot tomorrow, and it will be a new round of suffering.

Lu Chen followed up and said: "Everyone rests early, don't stay up late..."

Of course, he can see that everyone's mood is not high, but filming is like this. It is never easy to make a real boutique.

Behind the success, there are often too many unseen hardships. The wonderful and enjoyable enjoyment that the audience sees in the theater requires them to work hard in obscurity.

Lu Chen can only find a way to make up for it, and will never relax the request. In fact, I really want to say that many of the shots taken today are very good for the insiders, but they are not 100% realized. The effect to be achieved.

The pressure on the crew of the crew is naturally high.

At this time, Chen Guozhi said to him: "Xiaolu, let's go back to the hotel to talk a few words?"

Lu Chen gave a slight glimpse and quickly replied: "Okay."

Back in the hotel, it is already 10 o'clock in the evening.

The place where Chen Guozhi and Lu Chen talk is not in the room, but in the small restaurant. There are also Chen Feier and the producers, filmmakers, dramas and assistants of Chen Guozhi. The latter is the real director. Heart belly.

In fact, similar small meetings have been opened several times during the filming process.

It’s already late, the hotel’s restaurant must have been a long time ago, but the “Swordsman” crew stationed here is not an ordinary guest. The service provided by the hotel is extremely attentive, no matter how many nights you want to order, there is no problem. Nightingale is no exception.

Chen Guozhi is older, paying attention to health and not having such a good appetite. After eating a bowl of mushroom noodle soup, he is full, and then poured a cup of Longjing tea slowly.

Lu Chen and others knew that he had something to say, so everyone took a bite to fill the stomach, let the waiter withdraw the plate and accompany him to drink tea.

After drinking a cup of tea, Chen Guozhi said in a discretionary tone: "Small land, our current shooting progress is a lot behind, have you considered speeding up?"

The shooting progress is backward, mainly behind the piece that Lu Chen is responsible for.

In addition to playing the leading role, Lu Chen also served as the action director of "Swordsman", the action director appeared in the film industry at home and abroad very early, mainly responsible for the design and guidance of the fight in the film, is the general manager of all action scenes The leader of shooting, scheduling, and editing.

However, Lu Chen’s action director is different from other peers. According to his definition, the action director of the martial arts film is in the creation of martial arts action movies, starting from the subjective and objective conditions such as script, director, actors, and the scene environment. The general manager of the design, training, arrangement, scheduling, shooting, editing and other artistic creation activities of the action scenes is not under the director's importance.

"Swordsman" and other action films, including the flow of gods and ghosts, also have a fundamental difference, just to deepen this difference, so Lu Chen is extremely strict in the shooting of action scenes.

As a real martial arts film, there are many martial arts scenes in "Swordsman". Lu Chen pursues action in pursuit of authenticity. The purpose is to achieve an artistic realism through the processing of art and technology.

Therefore, he must balance the relationship between truth and falsehood, and strive to rationally "set" the martial arts movements in the characters and plots in the logical relationship of the storyline, and let all the martial arts movements in the film happen as much as possible. .

And to achieve his purpose, to meet his requirements, is undoubtedly a great pressure for the actors!

"Swordsman" is not "Ghost Story". The background of the film is grand, involving Shaolin, Wudang, Wuyue Jianpai, Sun and Moon, and many other sects. The number of actors is very large, but most of them lack this aspect. experience.

With Wudi, it can undoubtedly solve a large part of the problem, but Wudi cannot be replaced from the beginning to the end. It also needs corresponding training and cooperation. In addition, many group performances also have to learn basic routines.

As a result, the people in Lujiaban are really not enough. Many times, Lu Chen has to go out and demonstrate in person to help the actors to correct them repeatedly. It is a strange thing that the shooting progress is not behind!

Fortunately, it is now full digital photography without film, and I don’t know how many discs to squander before, and the cost is too much.

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

Chen Guozhi's tone is not very heavy, but there is still a hint of questioning, so that the atmosphere in the small restaurant has quietly become dignified - is he expressing dissatisfaction?

Lu Chen felt the pressure from the big director. He thought about it and he replied: "Chen, according to the current situation, our progress is hard to speed up. I think the quality and effect must be guaranteed first... ”

"We don't hurry!"

Almost, Lu Chen said to reporters before, but he is now answering Chen Guozhi.

Chen Guozhi is the director of "Swordsman", and Lu Chen’s words are inevitably challenging the authority of his authority.

The important crew members of the crew were flustered. If the two had conflicts at work, could the film be filmed like this again?

If Lu Chen’s answer is too direct, can’t he be euphemistic? Or is it not good to compromise?
