The King of Directors 2000

Chapter 457 Details Are King
At 2009 am on September 9, 3, in Fengweihan City, Kaishan, hundreds of people surrounded a small courtyard on the outskirts of this small city.

There is almost no film and television drama production industry here, and most of the locals have never seen the crew filming.

The crew of "Sicario Sicario" set the set in this small courtyard and held the opening ceremony, although the producer did not make any publicity.

But there are still many locals who heard the news and wanted to watch the filming of film and television dramas.

Sisawang's security guards stood outside with a long gun and looked solemnly, looking coldly at the compatriots who came to watch the excitement.

The temperament of the Lao/O people is similar to that of Tyrande, and most of them are relatively gentle.Although there were many people, they were in good order and looked quietly at the studio.

At this time, Li Shengyao took the actors to offer incense.

He himself does not believe in this, but Sisawang said that the locals believe in Buddhism, and a ceremony can make the locals who come to work take the job more seriously.

The agreement signed by Li Shengyao with the senior management of Kaishan Fengweihan City was not a joke. He would really hire a large number of local people to work for the crew.

Not only as a handyman on the set, or as a group performer, he also needs a group of construction workers.

In "Sicario", there is a 4-minute escort scene. In the last 3 minutes, the hero and heroine will encounter a traffic jam, and then be attacked by drug dealers in several cars.

This shooting location needs to be in front of the China border country.

In real life, there will naturally be no such shooting opportunities.

Li Shengyao needs to build a fake national gate in Fengweihan City, Kaishan, and build a road of about 100 meters.

Since Lao Myanmar is relatively poor, there is no need for cement roads, ordinary dirt roads will do.

But a relatively spacious dirt road is required.

In addition, the national gate does not need a real concrete building, and Li Shengyao intends to have a wooden national gate built.

In short, it is to save money as much as possible on the basis of reality.

Since it is necessary to build dirt roads and fake national gates, naturally more labor is required.

Just like the agreement he signed with the senior management of Kaishan Fengweihan City, he will hire a large number of local laborers by then.

Since Sisawang suggested this, Li Shengyao thought about it carefully and agreed.

Do as the Romans do.

After offering incense, Li Shengyao took the microphone handed over by the assistant director, and then shouted: "Sicario is on."

After a burst of warm applause, Li Shengyao brought his assistants to give red envelopes to the actors and actresses.

At the same time, a large number of field workers, photographers, set designers, makeup artists, and actors quickly got busy.

They will then start filming the first scene.

This scene is the first battle in the movie, where the heroine leads a team to capture a drug den.

This scene was supposed to be filmed in the country.

However, in the plot, it is in a dilapidated small courtyard on the outskirts of the city, and it doesn't matter if it is filmed at home or abroad.

As long as it can be fake and real.

Lee Sung Yew planned to shoot all the action scenes in Kaishan Fengweihan City, so that when he returned to China, he didn't need to apply for additional shooting permits.

In addition, he needs to use the shooting of this scene to tell the actors what the style of the movie is and what is the selling point of the movie.

In fact, not only Zhang Ziyi and Duan Yihong, but also many crew members and even the assistant director and photographer were confused.

They thought the story of this movie was simple, and they didn't understand why the shrewd Director Li would choose such a mediocre script.

And today Lee Sheng Yew was going to tell everyone else.

"Boss, everyone is putting on makeup."

The actors were all putting on makeup, and Li Shengyao came to the short hill behind the small courtyard. He looked at the small courtyard while walking.

At this time the assistant came over, Li Shengyao nodded, "I see, let them come here later."

The assistant then left.

Zhang Ziyi and the others needed makeup. Duan Yihong didn't have a role in this scene, so he came over first.

Seeing Li Shengyao walk away, he couldn't help asking: "Director, what are you..."

"Wait for the actors to show up here first, and I'll give them a medium shot."

In "Sicario Sicario", the first and third battles have a scene where the police are about to arrive on the battlefield.

That is to say, the protagonists are going to their destination, just a shot from the back.

Such a shot seems useless, but with this shot, it is explained that the protagonists are about to arrive, with layers and explanations, without any sense of abruptness.

Duan Yihong noticed that this location could capture the small courtyard below, and he had some thoughts in mind.

After a while, the actors with makeup came over.

That is, the combat team led by the heroine.

Li Shengyao waved his hand and shouted to the martial arts masters in the family class: "Tell them how to stand?"

It's not about walking, it's about standing.

In every battle of "Sicario", the positions are designed. In order to present the most realistic effect, they will actually follow the most advanced tactical positions in the army.

This element starts from the first shot.

The martial artists in the family class immediately pointed out the actors' positions.

I saw a total of ten actors, all wearing combat uniforms and carrying long guns. They looked very imposing.

The actors did not walk in one line, or in two straight lines, but in parallel, advancing in an arrow-like formation.

Under such a position, if there is an enemy in front, everyone can shoot at the first time, and will not be affected by the people in front.

After the actors stood up, the martial artists taught the actors to hold guns.

In addition to not being able to aim at one's own partner, the muzzle of the gun is generally slightly downward.

But not everyone's muzzles are aimed in the same direction. Ten people's muzzles are all facing different directions, and different positions correspond to different muzzle orientations.

The purpose of doing this is to expand the scope of the attack.

In general movies, the muzzle of the gun is left and right, dangling around, which is a very amateur behavior.

When fighting in a team, everyone's muzzle orientation is planned and assigned. A specializes in dealing with the enemy on the right, with the muzzle facing the right, and B specializes in dealing with the enemy on the left, with the muzzle facing the left.

If Li Shengyao wants to create a sense of reality, he must be as real as possible.

The martial arts masters then taught the actors how to walk forward. After teaching this, Li Shengyao told the actors how to move forward.

He taught ten actors one by one.

Zhang Ziyi was stunned. She didn't expect Director Li to be so professional and meticulous in the first wash.

There are requirements for the position of the characters in the plot, the movement of holding the gun, the orientation of the gun, and the position of the gun, which must be rehearsed.

This kind of arrangement is really the king of details.

After teaching the movements, Li Shengyao stepped aside and let the actors practice.

Duan Yihong couldn't help but ask: "Director, do you want to present a real anti-drug battle?"

Li Shengyao nodded, "That's right, the story of this movie is actually very ordinary. What I want to do is to show the four battles realistically. I want to shoot a textbook-level gunfight scene."
