I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 472 I Can’t Act! (24)

The preparatory work for "Peak Explosion" took nearly eight months!
Based on the special local geological conditions, 15000 cubic meters of gravel were used to level the soft surface, and the tunnels and towns in the film were built in real scenes.

In addition, the secondary lining trolley, waterproof trolley, three-arm rock drill, hydraulic trestle and other equipment in the tunnel are all real equipment used in the construction;

For the small town train derailment scene, the crew also used a real train for filming, and the final effect was really good!
In addition to the set design, a large number of scenes such as caves and underground rivers were filmed on location behind the 12th largest underground natural cave system in Asia.

In order to plan the shooting in advance and ensure the safety of the shooting, the crew members and professional cave explorers went deep into the cave to check before shooting...

Part of the film had to be shot in six undeveloped caves. The location was rarely visited by people and the crew’s vehicles could not enter. The actors had to walk for 6 to 1 hours to reach the shooting site…

Why not use post-production CG?

On the one hand, time may not be enough, on the other hand... the director team firmly believes that the sense of oppression and reality brought by the real scene cannot be replaced by anything else!
This is real!

Anyway, Shen Liang did feel the pressure...

When shooting difficult scenes such as rock climbing, diving, and climbing on the top of a cave, Shen Liang must personally take part in the filming, maintaining balance on the rock wall while also enduring the impact of the water flow...

……

After each shoot, Shen Liang would live stream and chat with his brothers about his shooting experience...

"When the water hits your spine, your entire back is numb."

"It was a little painful at first, but then it became numb..."

"It's still pretty dangerous... because we have to rush the production. It's already confirmed to be released next summer..."

"To be honest, railway workers do have a hard time. The prototype of our play is the construction of the Yiwu-Wanzhou Railway. The Yesanguan, Dazhiping, Yunwushan, Maluqing, Qiyueshan, Baziling, Jinzishan and Bieyancao tunnels are known as the eight Class I risk tunnels of the Yiwu-Wanzhou Railway. In addition, there are 8 Class II risk tunnels..."

"I looked at the information, and you can also go and have a look. The Qiyueshan Tunnel took six years to open, and the average daily progress was only 6 meters..."

"The plot of the movie is very simple. The railway is about to be completed, and there is only one kilometer left before it can be fully opened to traffic. Then... the mountain railway landslides, threatening the small county town of 16 people at the foot of the mountain... In order to save the county town, they prepare to blow it up!"

"It sounds simple, but... it took ten years to build, and we are only one kilometer away. Intellectually, we know what choice we should make, but emotionally, we still want to struggle. Is there a way to have both?"

"My initial thought was that my salary would be paid as usual, it didn't matter.

Later I talked to them... The railway workers who build tunnels in the mountains are quite different from the usual understanding of urban hourly workers who just work and get paid.

After all, with such harsh working conditions and frequent accidents, if there is no fixed team with strict management, well-trained and reliable skills, accidents will probably happen every day and the tolerance for faults will be too low.

"We have been fighting every day, sharing life and death, so we have developed some feelings for each other. Ten years have been spent on a railway, and then it was blown up at any time. No one can accept it."

"I revised the script twice, deleted the family plot, and focused on the rescue... I personally feel it is quite smooth, but I don't know how the specific effect will be..."

"The salary... the salary is about 100 million... it's a main theme tribute film, and I have to get paid. After all, this project has delayed my future projects!"

……

Yao Xiaofeng, the director of "The Wind Chasers", is going to direct "Together"!

It tells some touching stories of the whole nation's fight against the epidemic.

It consists of ten unit stories: "The Turning Point of Life", "The Ferryman", "The Companion", "The Rescuer", "Searching for 24 Hours", "The Vulcan Mountain", "The Fangcang", "My Name is Dalian", "Mask" and "Wuhan People".

Well, refer to "My Motherland and I", which brings together a large number of excellent TV drama directors...

Yao Xiaofeng is one of them. He directed the last unit "The Battle of Huoshenshan"...

In fact, unit dramas like "Together" are really a touchstone for directors.

When the units shot by different directors are put together, the difference is obvious at a glance. Whoever shoots the worst will be embarrassed. Of course, no matter how bad it is, it is much better than the next door "Mother's Way 2" - "The Most Beautiful Ni Walker"...

Logically speaking, Shen Liang should also participate, but he really can't squeeze out the time!
Go to Xu Zheng’s “The Last Lesson”, as I promised before!

Yao Xiaofeng is busy completing his tasks, and the "Storm Chaser" project is on hold...

It’s actually quite good, even if he didn’t take a break, Shen Liang would still have to film “Life Events” first.

Oh, in the middle of filming "Peak Explosion", Shen Liang had already discussed the cast with the producers, including the director of "Life Events"...

Yang Enyou will definitely be the heroine, and as for the second male and female lead...

Shen Liang shouted in the WeChat group, and then Wei Dasun signed up.

The second female lead doesn’t need to be too pretty, around 30 years old. Shen Liang simply contacted Jiao Junyan—it was a return. She was originally supposed to be the second female lead in “Peak Explosion”…

As for Xixi and Haifei, Shen Liang contacted Naza and the idol...

Xixi is the reason why Mo Sanmei went to jail - Mo Sanmei went to jail for fighting with his girlfriend, but was dumped by his girlfriend after he was released from prison.

It is quite suitable for Naza to play such a role.

Haifei is Wu Xiaowen's biological mother...

In the original time and space, the crew of "Life Events" did not have enough connections and the budget was low, so Zhu Yilong was not that famous at that time...

Therefore, the actors contacted are basically not very famous...

This time it’s different, Shen Liang is the male lead, the producers are Tengxun + China Film, and Shen Liang himself is the producer…

The cost directly increased to 8000 million!
It is entirely possible to invite a large number of top actors to make guest appearances.

The character Haifei actually ended up together with Mo Sanmei...

According to the plot, Sanmei Mo is likely to be alone for life. There is a saying in the funeral industry that "widows, widowers, orphans and disabled people" are the most common. Now she has a child. Normally, it would be difficult for Sanmei to find a partner, because having been to prison and having a child are two major deductions in the dating market. At the same time, the funeral industry where Sanmei works is often viewed with tinted glasses...

Arranging Haifei to appear is actually a sign of the director’s kindness!
Shen Liang sent the script to his idol and invited her to play the role of Hai Fei...

Then the idol asked directly, "Why can't I play Hee Hee?"

Shen Liang said: "Xixi should be about the same age as me..."

“I don’t play the mother!”

“…Why? This role is pretty good…”

"I can't act like that. If I played the role of a mother, I wouldn't be able to take on many roles!"

Shen Liang was stunned for a moment: "There is such a saying? Then why can I play the role of the father?"

The idol replied: "Male and female actors have different positioning... Anyway, thank you!"

What she said is true. Female audiences prefer to watch romantic themes, and capital caters to this. If you like it, capital will shoot it desperately.

Ancient idol dramas, modern idol dramas, sweet love stories, sadomasochism…all kinds of romance are used to describe love, sweet love stories, sadomasochism stories, and all for the purpose of love.

That heroine must be a girl!

Therefore, idols have been marketing girlishness...

Nickname: Girly Mom!
