Rebirth: I'm filming extra scenes on the set

Chapter 223 What, the director is warming up?

Chapter 223 What, the director is warming up?
Two days.

Chen Cheng re-shot all the shots that he thought were not particularly good.

At this time, the system suddenly sent out a message: [System: The host director's will has been upgraded to the intermediate level. ]

Simultaneously.

Chen Cheng also checked and found that his director attribute had increased from 87 points to 88 points.

“It’s a good system.”

Although they all look like passive skills.

But at critical moments, it can always exert its power.

But after the transition.

Chen Cheng rarely directed again.

Chen Cheng himself is the producer.

It’s okay for a producer to direct occasionally, but if he directs all the time, then what is the role of the director?
Everyone in the crew has their own division of labor.

This will also allow the crew to maintain higher efficiency.

What Chen Cheng is doing now is more about preparing for the martial arts scenes that will take place after the transition.

"Director Cheng, how are the preparations for the martial arts scenes in the next few days going?"

"I'm ready, but I don't know how the film will turn out. Also, I don't know if some of the movements can be filmed."

Chen Cheng and martial arts instructor Cheng Xiaodong discuss the upcoming martial arts scenes.

New Three Kingdoms.

The martial arts scenes are also a major attraction.

If such an important drama had just random fighting scenes like in the old version of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it would have been criticized by countless people.

"Director Chen, this is the fighting move I designed."

Cheng Xiaodong took out the designed storyboard script.

Chen Cheng took a look and said, "Sure."

He is indeed a well-known martial arts director in Hong Kong.

As soon as these actions were performed, Chen Cheng's eyes lit up.

Cheng Xiaodong rolled his eyes and said, "Director Chen, please stop talking. You are also good at martial arts design."

Chen Cheng laughed and said, "I'm not as good as a professional player like you."

but.

Having said that, Chen Cheng took a look and said, "These moves are quite difficult. Can you do them?"

"Give it a try. If you can't do it, you can modify it later."

"Ah."

Chen Cheng's interpretation of the martial arts moves in the Three Kingdoms is three parts real and seven parts fake.

Although it is a fake fight, it also needs to reflect the real side.

The most realistic aspect of this is fighting on horseback.

First of all, the actor must be able to ride a horse.

and.

Still have to fight on horseback.

This may not look impressive, but fighting on horseback is actually more difficult than hanging on wires.

of course.

In order to fight immediately, you have to use a stand-in and martial arts.

However, even with the use of stunt doubles and martial artists, the actions here are still quite difficult.

A few days later.

After the literary scenes were finished, it was time for the martial arts scenes.

The shooting started off smoothly.

After all, Cheng Xiaodong has been shooting action scenes for decades, so he has no problem with it.

But later on.

Several difficult moves were not completed in the entire shoot.

even.

In order to complete this difficult move, one of the martial artists was slightly injured.

Although the injury is not serious.

But Cheng Xiaodong took a look and could only say to Chen Cheng: "Director Chen, how about I change these moves?"

"What will it be changed to?"

"so."

As he spoke, Cheng Xiaodong took out a pen.

I quickly drew a few movements on paper that were slightly less difficult.

Chen Cheng shook his head: "The difficulty has been reduced, but the viewing experience has also been greatly reduced."

"That's true, but there's nothing we can do about it."

"Then let me try."

"what?"

Cheng Xiaodong was stunned.

"Let me warm up first."

It’s been a long time since I filmed these martial arts scenes.

Although Chen Cheng has a good physique.

But to be on the safe side, Chen Cheng decided to warm up first.

"Brothers, look, Director Chen is warming up."

When the other crew members saw Chen Cheng warming up, they exclaimed in surprise.

Some other people didn't understand and said, "Why are you yelling? What's wrong with Director Chen doing a little exercise?"

"No."

"What is not."

"I just heard Director Chen say that he will be on stage soon."

"He's on? What role is he going to play?"

"No, he said he wanted to act out the martial arts scene just now."

"What……"

Everyone didn't believe it.

Moreover, they all said that the friend had problems with his ears.

but.

Just when everyone thought it was impossible.

Chen Cheng finished warming up, and then said to Cheng Xiaodong: "Director Cheng, let me do it."

"Really come."

Seeing that Chen Cheng was already wearing a full set of equipment and armor, Cheng Xiaodong still couldn't believe it.

"Of course I did."

Chen Cheng smiled and said, "Hurry up. By the way, please record my martial arts expenses later."

Cheng Xiaodong chuckled.

Seeing Chen Cheng was so serious, he said no more: "Okay, Director Chen, be careful."

"Okay."

Chen Cheng made an OK gesture.

The staff led the horse over.

Chen Cheng took a step forward and jumped onto the horse.

This action stunned everyone on the set.

"Hey, guys, did you see clearly how Director Chen got on the horse just now?"

"Just lift your foot and take a step, and flip over."

"Uh, give it to me."

"Why should I try? I have to stand on a stool to ride a horse."

Ok.

It can be said.

Riding a horse is not an easy job.

Even if there were stirrups, most people couldn't step on the horse's back.

Many people had to use a stool to help them get on the horse.

of course.

This was too easy for Chen Cheng.

"It seems that the legend is true."

Everyone in the crew looked at Chen Cheng without blinking.

……

"Prepare in all aspects."

"start."

There was a sound from the script board.

Following the actions designed by Cheng Xiaodong just now.

Chen Cheng bent down and lowered his head, lowering it under the horse's belly.

The two legs exert force, squeezing the horse's belly.

Accompanied by the horses running fast.

Chen Cheng held the horse with his legs and dragged the big knife in his right hand on the ground, leaving a clear knife mark.

Without waiting for the other party to react.

When Chen Cheng arrived in front of the other general, he jumped up and shouted, "Look at the knife."

A long knife in hand.

Swing forward.

The enemy general's head fell off his neck.

Ok.

How could heads fall off during a real filming?

You can’t just make a movie and kill a living person.

Chen Cheng just performed a series of actions including riding a horse, leaning over, and swinging a knife.

In the later stage, in order to achieve the scene of chopping off a person's head with a knife, the editing process must be coordinated.

But even so.

When Chen Cheng performed a series of movements in one breath, the entire aura instantly screamed.

"Ah ah ah."

"This is too strong."

Although this scene was shot by Chen Cheng.

But the actions taken by Chen Cheng made everyone excited.

Some people who know Chen Cheng better said: "Let me tell you, Director Chen used to be a martial arts instructor."

"Well, he's not just a martial arts instructor. Director Chen's skills are amazing. It seems that he even had a PK with Jet Li back then."

"what's the result?"

"Do you think Lianjie PK can beat Chen Cheng?"

"Uh……"

Although the scene is over.

But everyone was still excited.

Even after the crew finished work, the crew members were still chatting about all kinds of gossip about Chen Cheng while having dinner.

"Brothers, do you still remember watching The Legend of Sword and Fairy?"

"I remember that Director Chen seemed to play Jiang Ming in the film. Jiang Ming's movements were so cool. I always thought that Jiang Ming's most cool movements in The Legend of Sword and Fairy were performed by Jiang Ming."

"Yes, then do you know why Jiang Ming's movements are so handsome?"

"why?"

"Why else? It's because I gave myself the coolest martial arts moves."

"I go……"

Everyone couldn't laugh or cry.

They remembered the previous joke again.

But yes.

If they were like Chen Cheng.

That's definitely the case, all the coolest martial arts moves will be given to myself.

……

of course.

The crew of the New Three Kingdoms does not always have high difficulty.

Occasionally, when Chen Cheng encounters it, he will warm up again.

then.

Every time Chen Cheng warmed up, he became a scene of the crew.

Some people with bad intentions created another joke for Chen Cheng.

The director started warming up again and again...

Some crew members.

Including some other actors.

Even some actors who haven’t had their turn to act yet.

Upon hearing the news, they will all be waiting on the set.

Chen Cheng said, "Next time you come to watch like this, I will charge you for the tickets."

This is a joke.

Although there are still many shooting tasks to come, but... based on the foundation laid by Chen Cheng before, it has finally become much more stable.

This gave producer Chen Cheng some free time.

Only Chen Cheng was slightly free.

Han Sanping urged Chen Cheng to quickly organize a celebration banquet for Lost on Journey, but Chen Cheng originally didn't want to do it.

But I think there will be sequels to the囧 series later.

We just picked a time and held the celebration party.

The celebration banquet was similar to most banquets.

It’s just eating, drinking, and publicity.

Han Sanping urged Chen Cheng to film Lost on Journey 2 at the celebration banquet.
Chen Cheng said he was not in a hurry and said, "We can wait a little longer."

Han Sanping said: "What are you waiting for? Strike while the iron is hot."

Chen Cheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, we will definitely shoot it later. But the market will need some time to digest it. Besides, there are still many people who haven't seen Lost on Journey."

The movie box office of 3.4 million is far from representing the domestic audience.

If we want more people to look forward to "Lost on Journey", we need to let more people watch it during this period of time.

The method.

It's also very simple.

Anyway, the box office made money.

It doesn’t matter whether you make money later or not.

Still the same as before.

It means getting it to various platforms and allowing a number of Internet platforms to let everyone watch it for free.

……

After the Lost on Journey celebration party.

Chen Cheng attended the opening ceremony of "Ip Man 2".

Zhen Zaidan, Hong Jinbao, Fan Shaohuang, Huang Xiaoming...all the actors made their appearances.

Chen Cheng and Wong Pak-ming did not appear on camera.

Wong Pak Ming said: "Director Chen, you have to show up more often, we are counting on you for Ip Man 2."

Chen Cheng smiled and said, "Ip Man 2 is in the same vein as Ip Man 1. I believe Director Chen has found the feeling. Ip Man 1 was a hit, and Ip Man 2 will be even more so."

Hearing what Chen Cheng said, Wong Pak Ming was very excited and looked forward to Ip Man 2 even more.

"Director Chen, nice to meet you, I'm Hong Jinbao."

The interview is over.

Hong Jinbao suddenly came to Chen Cheng alone and stretched out his right hand.

Chen Cheng was a little surprised: "Uncle Hong, we have known each other for a long time."

Hong Jinbao laughed: "Yes, but the acquaintance before was just acquaintance. Now, we have to get to know each other properly."

"Hahaha, Uncle Hong, I want to get to know you, too."

Chen Cheng and Hong Jinbao hugged each other.

to be frank.

Chen Cheng had worked with Hong Jinbao as early as See You, Resurrection of the Dragon.

But at that time Chen Cheng was just a small art director.

In Hong Jinbao's eyes, he is just an ordinary staff member.

Chen Cheng knows his position and usually does not take the initiative to get to know these big guys.

It’s just like filming with Cheng Xi, Jet Li and others.

Filming is filming.

In terms of personal relationships, there is no need to force yourself.

he knows.

Once you reach a certain status, you will naturally get to know the bigwigs in the circle.

As it is now.

Hong Jinbao naturally got to know him.

Our current acquaintance is no longer as simple as just saying hello and cooperating with each other.

"Come on, Director Chen, take a seat. I really want to talk to you."

Hong Jinbao was extremely interested in Chen Cheng: "When I was watching Resurrection of the Dragon, I felt that you had great potential. Especially when you laughed at Andy Lau's body double, I was very interested in you. However, I didn't know what your position was at that time. It seemed that you were both a martial arts instructor and an art director... Now I see that you are a big producer."

"Uncle Hong, you're too polite. The producer has only just started and is not very familiar with it yet. He is still feeling his way forward."

"Look at you, you are being too modest. Look at the many films you have collaborated with us in Hong Kong recently, Painted Skin, The Warlords, The Siege of the City, and the recent Red Cliff, all of which are very popular. Of course, there is also our Ip Man."

"Uncle Hong, if there is a chance, we can cooperate with each other."

"Really."

"of course it's true."

"Hahaha, forget it, forget it. I'm old now and don't want to compete with you youngsters. I'm just an old man, and I can just be an action director. If Director Chen needs an action director later, feel free to call me."

"Uncle Hong, I don't even have your phone number."

"Blame me, blame me, let's add one to each other."

The commotion here also attracted the attention of other crew members.

Hong Jinbao is definitely a very special existence in the crew.

Although he plays a role in the drama, he is also the action director.

But he is more than just an action director.

He is also a big shot in the Hong Kong film industry.

The Hong Clan Class he founded has produced countless stars.

Such as Zeng Zhiwei, Lam Ching-ying, Yuen Biao, Yuen Wah, Yuen Wu, Yuen Kui, Zou Zhaolong, Qian Jiale, Wu Ma... and so on.

even.

In the early days, Lian Chengqi was a member of the Hong Clan.

When it comes to promoting people, Hong Jinbao deserves a thumbs up.

On the contrary, Cheng Xi's Cheng family stunt team is far inferior to his big brother Hong Jinbao in this respect.

Even Wong Pak Ming has to call Hong Jinbao "Uncle Hong".

But such a big shot acted so close to Chen Cheng.

This is obviously not a compliment.

Watching the conversation between the two, everyone in the crew knew that this was truly something they admired.

……

The opening ceremony is over.

Chen Cheng had something else to do and was about to leave first.

When leaving.

Zhen Zaidan trotted over to see him off.

and.

Zhen Zaidan also explained to Chen Cheng: "Brother Cheng, the last incident was a misunderstanding. In fact, regarding the film remuneration, I had already agreed. But you also know that the agency behind me is very powerful. It is useless for me to agree. They have to agree."

"Ah."

Chen Cheng nodded: "It's a small matter, don't take it to heart."

At this time.

Huang Xiaoming also came over: "Junior brother, you are leaving so soon."

Chen Cheng smiled and said, "There are still many things to do. There is nothing we can do."

Huang Xiaoming felt a little regretful and said, "I originally wanted to organize a party to treat my junior brother to a meal."

"Haha, there must be a chance."

Chen Cheng waved to Huang Xiaoming and said, "Come on."

"Xiao Ming, Chen Cheng is your junior fellow apprentice?"

Returning to his seat, Zhen Zaidan asked with some surprise.

"Yes."

Huang Xiaoming nodded: "We are from the same school. I am a few years older than Chen Cheng. But, I am too average to even talk to Brother Chen Cheng."

"Haha, how could that be."

Zhen Zaidan said, "With Brother Cheng here, it will be impossible for you to get by in the future."

Just saying.

Huang Baiming came to Huang Xiaoming: "Xiaoming, let's communicate more in the future."

Huang Xiaoming quickly stood up and said, "Director Chen, I hope you can take care of me."

Huang Baiming patted Huang Xiaoming on the shoulder and said, "Young man, you have a bright future."

This made Zhen Zaidan envious.

I felt extremely regretful.

When Chen Cheng mentioned the pay, I should have agreed immediately.

it's good now.

The price is still the same.

But in Chen Cheng's eyes, his image seemed to have declined a bit.

……

"Chen Cheng, where is he?"

"I'm on the set."

"You're lying. You even attended the opening ceremony of Ip Man 2 yesterday."

"Uh... Aren't we just about to go back to the crew?"

On the way back to the crew, Chen Cheng received a call from Jie Lun.

Jie Lun was extremely excited and said, "Chen Cheng, my Thorn Tomb is about to be released."

"Oh, when?"

"next week."

"congratulations."

"Do you have time to attend the premiere of Thorn Ling?"

"Jie Lun, I'm sorry, I want to join, too. But you know I've been working on a new Three Kingdoms drama, so I'm very busy."

"I see. I heard that you are still working as a martial artist in the crew?"

"Haha, how did you know?"

"The director is warming up again... Don't you know that this is a hot topic in the media about you recently?"

"Ok."

Yes.

The news that Chen Cheng occasionally warmed up in the New Three Kingdoms soon became a hot topic in the circle.

Although this joke is funny, it also shows how much people like Chen Cheng.

"Alas, I originally wanted to call you here."

"Next time."

"It can only be this way."

Jie Lun said helplessly: "It's okay if you don't have time to attend the premiere. When you have time, watch the movie "刺陵" that I shot and give me some suggestions."

"Row."

Chen Cheng spread his hands.

Why is Prince Jie so interested in movies?

After thinking for a while, Chen Cheng said, "Jie Lun, you are a musician, why are you so interested in movies?"

"I am good at both film and music. Besides, the more I work on the film industry, the more I realize that film is the most despised thing in our industry."

"Uh... there's still a chain of contempt here."

"That's not true. People who make movies look down on people who make TV series, people who make TV series look down on people who sing, and people who sing look down on...well, singing is the lowest level."

"Pfft... I hope 'The Thorn Tomb' will be a big hit at the box office."

Chen Cheng hung up the phone.

There are so many things to do on the crew.

Even though the progress in all aspects is still good, the crew will raise a series of problems from time to time.

Like the actor getting injured.

As a producer, Chen Cheng attaches great importance to it.

There are a lot of circuses in The New Three Kingdoms, and a lot of scenes require riding horses.

This horse may look small, but if you are not careful, it can seriously injure the actors.

Last time, a large group of horses on the crew got frightened and threw several actors off their horses.

Fortunately, it was dealt with promptly and no one was seriously injured.

But even so.

Since the filming began, nearly 100 actors have been injured.

Also, when filming, there are a lot of fighting scenes in The New Three Kingdoms.

This martial arts scene is not just about the fight between two generals, but also a series of sieges, confrontations, fire battles, water battles... and so on.

In order to more deeply restore the situation of the war at that time, the new Three Kingdoms uses a large number of chariots and offensive and defensive equipment.

In addition to spending a lot of money on these shots, actors would get injured from time to time.

Chen Cheng was in such a hurry to go back.

I also learned that there was a scene yesterday and several actors fell off their horses.

This is about handling the crew's affairs.

Time flies, and seven or eight days have passed.

Look at the time.

Chen Cheng discovered that it seemed that "刺陵" had been released.

I remembered what I promised Jie Lun.

I finished work in the afternoon.

Nothing to do at night for now.

Chen Cheng took Wu Jingyuan to a nearby cinema.

Finished in two hours.
