China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 97: Shooting in progress, "Da Ming" begins broadcasting

In April, the temperature in Vancouver is actually not very high, so when the actors are talking, there will always be white fog.

In order to avoid this situation, Guan Ling asked the actors to eat some ice cubes before they spoke their lines, which would make the scene more effective.

The shooting plan for "2012" is very simple. In addition to shooting around the world, the most important thing is to shoot a series of scenes about doomsday collapse in a model in Vancouver.

Here, it’s a combination of green screen and modeling.

After the scenes here are filmed, they will be sent for CG special effects. At this time, scenes in places such as India and Tibet will be shot accordingly. One is to reflect the beautiful scenery, and the other is to reflect the global scene. Sexual storm.

In fact, Cheng Long's scenes mainly need to be completed in Vancouver.

Cheng Long needed to shoot here driving around Los Angeles, experiencing deadly scenes such as the ground collapsing, high-rise buildings collapsing, and bridges collapsing.

It is even more necessary to film the panic, helplessness, despair, anger and other non-physical performances in the simulated aircraft. At the same time, his ex-wife, ex-wife, new husband and children also need to have relatively good acting skills.

As for the meeting of heads of state around the world, the filming of Noah's Ark scenes was all done here.

There are also a series of scenes such as tsunamis, earthquakes, cracks, etc., which will also be synthesized into non-physical scenes through the molding here.

So although it seems that the requirements for acting skills are not that high, in fact, there is still a lot of pressure on Cheng Long.

During the filming process, Guan Ling discovered that the reason why Cheng Long became the No. 1 Chinese film was really something. Although this time it was not an action scene, he had requirements for his natural reaction to each of his movements. After all, it was a non-physical performance. , he was worried that his reaction would not match the scene. In terms of filming, Cheng Long was really serious.

Cheng Long speaks English very fluently, and Cheng Long is quite famous in Hollywood. When everyone was acting opposite Cheng Long, no one dared to show off.

There were quite a lot of them, and they were quite afraid of Cheng Long.

The simplest part was shot first. Cheng Long made a phone call and drove his children to go camping. He was so anxious to go out that he didn't even notice the cracks appearing on the entire earth.

In the running car, a group of people sang songs, and the car radio frequently broadcast news of cracks in the ground, but no one realized how serious the situation would become at this moment.

Overhead, several helicopters were circling.

This place uses a mirror to capture the warm daily life of a family and the noisy and tense atmosphere of the outside world, making people immersed in it all at once.

In "Yellowstone", Cheng Long saw a lake that had been evaporated by high temperatures, leaving only a shallow layer of water vapor, and then there was an English conversation between Cheng Long and the doctor played by Chiwetel Ejiofor.

Chiwetel Ejiofor is black, that’s the rule of the game in Hollywood.

No matter what, a black man had to be chosen to play the role. Guan Ling simply did not change the role of this guy in his previous life, because in fact, although he played a bit of a virgin, his performance was okay.

Everyone knew the script by heart. Surrounded by a group of American soldiers, the scene between the two was filmed very quickly. The smoke and dust swept by the surrounding cars also made the scene appear more vivid.

Then there are the conversations and scenes between Cheng Long and Fan Podcast.

This place is not difficult either.

Cheng Long's performance was also good. He always showed the expression "Are you sick" in the film, and he performed the performance of an ordinary person vividly.

Who would believe the doomsday claims of a madman?
It wasn't until a fanatic podcaster pulled down a collection of clipped newspapers, and Cheng Long saw that the people who had helped him appeared on the death list in the newspaper, that Cheng Long hesitated a little, but still didn't believe this inexplicable argument.

"I'm going back to Earth first."

Cheng Long said.

On the other side, Cheng Long's ex-wife and her new boyfriend were discussing the story of Cheng Long, a driver, whose new book only sold 422 copies. The two were discussing the essential things in love, but they felt that something was blocking them.

Before he finished speaking, a huge crack suddenly formed in the earth.

There were a lot of scenes shot in "2012". Guan Ling directly recruited Gai Naote to be the strong man. For some filming that did not involve special effects, Guan Ling asked Gai Naote to watch the assistant director to operate. This can be done to a certain extent. Reduce shooting time.

He mainly shot Cheng Long's scenes, because not long after he and his ex-wife sent their children back, he was about to enter the climax.

Cheng Long started to send his boss to the plane, but someone pointed at his nose and said, "You never have that ticket in your life."

"We will live and you will die."

In the car, Cheng Long witnessed the tremors and tiny cracks in the earth with his own eyes. He used the most expensive watch in his body to rent a plane, and then began his life-threatening journey.

During the filming of this episode, Cheng Long's acting skills exploded. He drove with one hand, put on his small sunglasses, and wrinkled his nose. No one loved him.

If it had followed the style of previous action movies, Cheng Long would have had a hearty battle at this time.

But in "2012" he can't, he needs to rescue his family.

Therefore, the protagonist’s halo is online!

For the sake of the children, he dragged his ex-wife and her husband into the car together. His ex-wife's house began to collapse, the ground began to crack, and then sank.

Roads, trees, houses, cars, everything sank.There are some extras in the shot, and they disappear in front of the camera.

This shot is almost cut out detail by detail, because every second, twelve to fourteen shots are glued together in it, so that the final effect can be very realistic, so the shooting of this shot is very Costly.

"I feel like I'm holding the dollar on fire." Gaylot howled excitedly.

"Director Guan, this script is no easier to shoot than my action movies."

Cheng Long was very tired, mainly because there were a lot of ungrateful scenes with children, and they were sitting in a fake airplane cockpit. In order to show reality, they had to deliberately make the same scene as inertia on the airplane at a certain time. Angle of body movements.

And it must be accurate every second.Otherwise it would be difficult to match the special effects.

It's quite a test.

"Crack."

Guan Ling stopped Cheng Long several times and reminded him of his role.

"Brother Cheng Long acted very well. Your role is that of a loser. He writes books that cannot be sold. He drives for his boss. His ex-wife divorced and the child was awarded to his ex-wife. But you need to pay attention to one thing. You have to be afraid. The scene outside makes you Fear, because you feel sorry for your children? But the feeling you give me now is as if you are about to snatch the plane and fly it yourself at any time. There is no fear or despair."

"clear."

Cheng Long quickly adjusted.

In a flash, more than ten days passed.

In fact, the shooting progress of the scenes was not slow, especially those scenes that did not require too many special effects. Guan Ling shot them very quickly.

Generally speaking, regarding the temperament of an actor or the rhythm of lines, he can give very reasonable suggestions based on the original version, which makes everyone very convinced.

After the shooting for the day was completed, Guan Ling was about to take a nap when the phone rang, and the ringtone was very harsh.

It was Zhang Li. When Guan Ling saw it, he thought it was morning in China.

The phone was answered, and Zhang Li's excited voice was heard on the other side.

"Director Guan, the ratings for the first and second episodes of "The Ming Dynasty" have exploded!"

But it’s not because it’s beautiful, but because it’s messy.

In the first episode, there are enough characters appearing.

Complex enough.

Just one word, chaos!

The story begins on the 39th of the twelfth lunar month in the 29th year of Jiajing's reign. Zhou Yunyi was beaten to death with a royal stick just after the scene began.

The mystery of Emperor Jiajing, the arrogance of Feng Bao, the shrewdness of Yan Song, the arrogance of Yan Shifan, the forbearance of Xu Jie, the integrity of Gao Gong, the wisdom of Zhang Juzheng, and the strength of Lu Fang are all ready to be revealed.

The Ming Dynasty's treasury problems, fiscal overspending, and irregularities in officialdom were all directly pointed out.

But I just don’t know who the protagonist is, because everyone is the protagonist.

After watching two episodes, netizens feel like they have just watched two episodes.

As for what you watched?have no idea.

"This drama seems to really test the audience's IQ!"

In the evening, a commentator immediately began to publish a diagram of the power structure of the Ming Dynasty, which aroused heated discussion on the Internet.Especially in Tianya and Tieba, there are some really big guys inside at this time, and they can speak their minds.

"Holy shit, this isn't a TV series. Is this trying to popularize historical systems and structures for me?"

"I'm currently studying economics, and I'm a little curious about this play. The main character seems to be money."

Some economics students commented online.Make money, make money, make money!
"I took a look and found out that this drama is called 1566, but why was it filmed in 1560? Does this timeline have anything to do with it?"

"After reading the architecture diagram today, I will watch the replay tomorrow when I have time. I have a feeling that I still can't understand it after watching the replay."

"Is there something wrong with your brain upstairs? Why are you looking at him if you don't understand?"

"Can you understand love? Do you long for love? I can't understand it, but I can ask my partner to tell me." The person on the other side was sarcastic and pierced his heart, but he stopped talking.

Due to the extensive publicity in the early stage, netizens had hot discussions about "Ming Dynasty 1566", but more netizens just watched the excitement.

But after the first and second episodes, netizens suddenly discovered that there seemed to be something about this drama.

It seems like a Machiavellian drama? !This is so rare!
