Reborn Hollywood Ladies

Chapter 273 Keeping Improving (Part [-])

Professional matters should be analyzed by professionals. She called Hong Jinbao over and showed him the clip just shot: "I always feel that something is wrong with this place. Can you see what's wrong?"

Hong Jinbao also frowned, pinched his chin and stared at the screen several times: "Is there any problem? I didn't see it."

"It's footsteps." Shinichi Chiba suddenly spoke next to him.

"Foot?" Hong Jinbao looked at his feet, but he still didn't see any problem. "What happened to the footsteps?"

Shinichi Chiba chuckled and said, "Hongsang is not from our country, so he doesn't know how women in kimonos should walk. Because kimonos are troublesome to wear, women can't walk too far."

"That's right, this is it!" Laila finally knew what was wrong, it was the footsteps!When Shu Qi was going around in circles with the heroine, looking for the opponent's flaws, his steps were obviously too big, so he lost the elegance of wearing a kimono.That's why she felt a sense of disobedience.

Think about the women in kimonos on TV who walk and run in small steps. It's not that they don't want to go fast, but that the hem of the clothes is too narrow for them to walk fast at all.

And because Shu Qi was going to fight, the kimono she wore was actually modified, so that she would not be restrained too much.It's just that in this way, the hem of the kimono is not so close to the legs, so she can't help taking a lot of steps.

Laila didn't know much about kimonos, but she had watched many TV movies in her previous life, and she had a vague impression of the gait of a woman in a kimono.Seeing Shu Qi's footsteps, although she didn't know what was wrong, she could feel the disobedience.

"That's okay? Boss, are you too good?" The crew couldn't help but be speechless.These pure Americans usually have little contact with Japanese culture, let alone striding too far, even if they wear a kimono as a yukata, they will not recognize it at all.

In fact, this is really just a trivial problem, as long as you turn a blind eye and close your eyes, pretend not to see it and shoot it.Laila can't, she wants to make the most perfect and classic movie, and such an obvious mistake is simply not something she can tolerate.

Now that she knew what was wrong, in order not to make the same mistake, she asked someone to tie Shu Qi's legs together with cloth strips she found.In this way, even if you want to take a big step, it will not work.It's just the same, it will make the movements much more difficult in the official fight.

It was the first time for Hong Jinbao to design movements for Japanese women. When designing, how could he think of the restraint of the kimono on the body?After being told by Laila, he realized that there were still many loopholes in his design.

"If possible, I would like to redesign some movements." He solemnly expressed his thoughts to Lila, and then sincerely said what he had neglected. "It's because I ignored this place. If the actions I designed, some of them cannot be done in a formal kimono."

The audience didn't know that the actor was wearing a remodeled kimono, and what they saw was a female boss wearing a regular kimono.Are you taking them for fools when you wear and take such large movements to hack and kill?

Maybe American audiences can't see anything different, but the movie is not only shown in the United States.Big-ticket warehouses like Japan have always been the place where Hollywood movies most need to win. Once Japanese and Asian movie fans see the flaws and think they are being fooled, it will be a blow to the reputation of Leila and the company.

"Understood." Laila nodded.She is not afraid of making mistakes, she just needs to correct them.Everyone will have a first time, and everyone will have negligence. This is not something to be guilty of, and there is still a chance to redeem it anyway.

"How much time do you need?"

Hong Jinbao calculated in his heart: "Two days! I can redesign it in two days at most!"

"OK, then I'll give you two days. It doesn't matter if it's not enough." Laila smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, we can still shoot other places, you can design it anyway. "

Hong Jinbao nodded, then shook his head again.He knew very well that the production team would lose a lot of money if it was delayed for a day, including the salaries of the crew members, water and electricity, etc. The negligence in the design had already made him very disappointed in himself, how could he let the director down in him again?
"Two days are enough, I will redesign a better and more suitable movement!"

Lila smiled at him: "Okay, that's it."

Hong Jinbao turned around and said to Chiba: "Mr. Chiba, you are also an action actor, can you give me some advice on kendo?"

"Of course there is no problem." Qianye Zhen smiled and agreed to his request.

After watching the two go aside to discuss the action, Leila called the relevant personnel and brought up the rear camera first to shoot.

Shu Qi's movements couldn't be filmed anymore, Fukada Kyoko was still familiar with the movements choreographed for her, and Roy was the only one who was idle except for some minions.

"Roy, get ready, I'll shoot your part first."

"No problem!" Roy skillfully twisted the Toyo knife in his hand a few times: "I have already prepared it, and I can start at any time."

Having said that, the preparations still need to be done, Leila called Jia Xiaoming to carry him to the dressing room to put on makeup.

Under the camera and lighting, without makeup will make the face look terrible, so no makeup is absolutely not acceptable.Even makeup can’t be casual, it has to be considered according to the light, the position of the camera, and even the color of the surrounding background.

It's as if you put a white handkerchief on your lap when you take a photo for your ID, it will make your face look better.

Not only Roy needs makeup, but Theron also needs to change his look.The fight with Roy was at the front, so he suffered fewer injuries and his body was cleaner.

After confirming that everything was ready for the two, Leila went into the intense shooting again.

"Ha!" "Ah!"

The two men were at war with each other from the very beginning, and they fought extremely fiercely.If it wasn't someone who knew them well, they might really think that they were martial arts masters who came from somewhere.

Laila looked at the two people fighting together on the screen with bright eyes. They performed so well, when they should be powerful, they seemed to be able to break through the space when they slashed with a sword.That ferocious performance, and that domineering movement, were even better than Laila had imagined.

"CUT! It's over!" After one shot, she happily stopped. "It's a great job, how did you do it?" The movements of the two didn't feel jerky at all, as if they had fought against each other many times.

She knew that they didn't have time to rehearse hundreds of times in the crew, so how did they play such a good level?
