China Entertainment's My Artistic Career

Chapter 211 In Progress

After returning to the hotel room and tidying up, He Hua lay on the bed, turned sideways and watched his girlfriend smearing it on her face, and said when he had nothing to say:
"What do you think of "33 Days of Love"?"

Liu Yifei raised her head and put on a mask and said dullly: "What about it?"

"Just that group of people. Is Director Xue's command good? Are there any big names in Yang Mi and Wang Kai's performances or are they messing around on the set?"

"No, no one told me." Liu Yifei thought for a while and shook her head to express that she didn't know, and then realized: "Okay, you think of me as your eyes and ears, and let me report others. "

He Hua asked, "Shouldn't you? Isn't it your job to help your husband take care of this stall? Boss lady!"

Liu Yifei thought it was right, so she smiled and told her boyfriend the gossip about the crew that her assistant Xinxin had told her.

"What? Brother Kai is interested in Yang Mi? That's nonsense." He Hua didn't believe it.

"I don't know if it's true. Anyway, Xinxin said that they were very close to each other on the set. It seems that someone saw Wang Kai coming out of Yang Mi's room."

"Are they a husband and wife from the crew?" He Hua just muttered a few words and was punched by Liu Yifei. She felt that He Hua thought too badly of her friend. He Hua changed his mind: "It is also possible that they have been in love for a long time. After all, they have been in love since "" We have been together for less than half a year from "Bi Bu Jing Xin" to "33 Days of Love", and we are both in our 20s, which is when it is easy to develop feelings."

Liu Yifei felt that this must be the case.

"I'll just ask Brother Kai when I see him another day."

Su Lun urged loudly with a loudspeaker: "Hurry up, the director is already waiting."

On the set, the staff constantly adjusted the lighting and photography.

Today was supposed to be a daytime scene, but it suddenly started raining, and the planned scene couldn't be filmed, so we simply made temporary adjustments. The blind man happened to have a fight scene in the rain, so he quickly arranged it and saved the water dragon king.

The gloomy weather means that there is not enough sunlight in the evening. Adjust the lighting and you can shoot at night.

This kind of adjustment is normal. Sometimes the lighting will change due to weather, clouds, time, etc., and film lenses must ensure continuity, so whenever there is such a change, photography and lighting must be changed quickly.

After the set was set up, Cao Dun walked to the camera in a raincoat and took the shots himself. Xu Haofeng and the action team also emphasized the essentials of action with the actors.

After the actors were in place, He Hua gave the order to start in front of the room monitor.

"Departments prepare!" He Hua looked at the monitor and shouted with a loudspeaker.

After all departments gathered together and there were no problems, He Hua shouted:

"Ready! Start!"

In this scene, the blind man went to the gambling house to cause a scene, seducing He Qiufeng and leading people to chase him. The two sides fought in the rain, and the blind man forced him to find out the whereabouts of Ni Yan and took He Qiufeng away.

As He Qiufeng, He Hua found Dai Xu, who they had worked with before, to play the role. His costume appearance is pretty good and his acting skills are also online. He is more than enough to be a little boss under Song Yang.

In the rain, the blind man held a blind stick in one hand and an umbrella in the other. People around him, wearing raincoats or bamboo hats, gradually gathered around him, and the war was about to break out.

After a few simple conversations, the martial arts scene officially begins.

In this scene, the blind man neither used a blind stick nor a knife to kill, and relied solely on his hand skills. After all, he couldn't just listen to the sound of his "wrong-bone hands".

Cao Dun held a camera and followed the shots at close range; Xu Haofeng also broke down the actions one by one so that the actors could understand and complete them.The shooting of this kind of martial arts movie exceeded He Hua's previous expectations and became even more difficult to shoot.

If one action is wrong, the picture will be inconsistent. Even if it is edited and spliced ​​later, the result will not be good-looking, and you will have to start over.

On the contrary, it is a literary drama. Many of the emotions in the story are touched upon. Even Qin Niang and Cheng Xiazi are close friends and do not deliberately deepen or exaggerate, so the filming in this aspect seems relatively simple.

After one night, the filming progress of the entire scene was only one-fifth, and He Hua seemed a little helpless.

However, he was not prepared to make do with it, so he would just grind it slowly and spend more time on it, as long as the quality could be guaranteed.

As morning approached, He Hua made arrangements: "I've worked hard to prepare something delicious for everyone." Then he went to see Xie Miao: "How are you, are you okay?"

The martial arts scenes are inevitably bumpy, and Xie Miao is applying the blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing potion with the help of a crew assistant.

"It's okay, director, these are all trivial." Xie Miao said with a grin.

He Hua patted his shoulder.

In the next few days, I continued shooting when it rained, and called the sprinkler truck when it didn't rain. Anyway, we couldn't give up halfway.

After five consecutive nights, we finally finished filming this scene.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. This important and complicated night scene in the entire film was filmed early, so everyone felt relaxed.

It should be said that as long as He Hua is on the crew of "Defiant", there will be no intrigue.

First of all, the filming time of a movie is only 2-3 months, and you have to leave after the filming is completed. What is the point of fighting for power and profit in such a short period of time?
Some people say that the crew under the shadow of Vanity Fair will never be harmonious, and there will always be people competing for position and face, just like some old-timers said about the newcomers:

"Even the starting time was compared. He started work at eight o'clock, why should I start work at 7:[-]? So I waited in the parking lot. I had to let that person enter the team first. If he went in later, it seemed that he was very cunning. "

This makes sense. Wherever there are people, there will be fights.

But this does not apply to He Hua's crew, because as long as He Hua is here, he will always be the boss of this crew. Who makes him the director, screenwriter, and investor, the boss of everyone? Unless he is crazy, no one will Want to go against him.

In his eyes, there is no such thing as cleverness at all. How about Zhang Guoli? He is an old man, he has a lot of capital, and he still obeys the orders honestly.

If you really dare to make a big name, he will dare to replace you on the same day, not caring who is behind you or who you love.

Therefore, the atmosphere on the set is very good, everyone is relatively equal, and there is nothing that shows off one's power or deliberately stirs up trouble.

Everyone does their own thing and doesn't interfere in other people's professional affairs.

There must be friction, but everyone is for better shooting results.

He Hua has one of the best tempers among directors. He rarely curses, and from time to time he takes the team out for toothpaste, team building, or having a barbecue or hot pot.

Just like now, various hot pots are placed on the table, spicy or not spicy, sour and tonic, beef and mutton, various vegetables and meatballs are neatly arranged. There are also boxes of beer and liquor under the table. and drinks, the atmosphere is simply not that good.
