Super entertainment red envelope

Chapter 580 This really hurts me!

Two days later.

Beijing, airport.

The flight from Chicago to Beijing has landed.

"Welcome-to-China!"

Li Zhifan went up to meet him personally, shook hands and hugged Lilith and Ole who walked out of the airport, and then asked Lilith, "Welcome! Lilith, can your husband understand Chinese?"

"I don't understand!" Lilith shook her head, "So this time I'm still in charge of his translation."

"Then we can find a translator for him, or just communicate with me if he has something to do!"

Li Zhifan laughed, "My English is pretty good!"

Seeing that Li Zhifan and Lilith were chatting happily, Ao Lei was a little bit apprehensive, but he still asked politely: "I don't know when we can start working? Or do we need to do any preparations in advance?"

"The launch is scheduled for two weeks later!"

Li Zhifan replied in English, "However, we will conduct special training from the day after tomorrow, but because we have to shoot at the film and television base first, the special training will also be carried out simultaneously, and your scenes are mainly filmed in Africa."

"OK!"

Ao Lei spread his hands and smiled crookedly, "Then the first thing I want to do the most is find a place to take a shower and get familiar with your script. I'm afraid I won't have so many opportunities to take a shower after I turn it on!"

"will not!"

Li Zhifan said, "We will still properly arrange the living conditions of the crew."

"NO! NO! NO!"

Ole shook his finger, "I personally don't like taking a bath!"

"Uh...hehe!"

Li Zhifan smiled, such an international action movie star doesn't like to take a bath, there is no one else.

……

Send Ole and Lilith to the car and tell the driver to go to the hotel.

And he can't leave yet, he has to wait for a group of people.

About 10 minutes later, the flight from Los Angeles to Beijing landed again.

This time it was a Hollywood film and television production team, with more than 30 men and women. At first glance, I thought it was a foreign tourist who came to Beijing to watch.

The person in charge is one of the partners of this studio, named Carter, who saw their pick-up sign from a distance and immediately directed the others to go.

This time, it was not Li Zhifan who was in charge of supporting them, but a vice president of the film and television management of the Men's Gang.

"Mr. Li, they have all received it!"

"Okay! Take them directly to the film and television base, stay in the hotel that you have booked first, and overcome the jet lag. In the evening, take them to familiarize themselves with the script and the venue, and have a specific meeting after dinner!"

"it is good!"

……

evening.

All the crew of "Wolf Warrior" had their first meeting in the hotel.

The whole hall was packed up, ready to work all night and all night.

During the meal, we only chat about the scene, get to know each other, get to know each other well, start discussing after the meal, and only talk about work matters.

As the director, Li Zhifan stayed until four o'clock in the morning, discussing back and forth with the American production team. He explained every idea in the script completely, what was the effect he wanted, what was the What he wants to capture is nuanced.

Of course, these discussions are still superficial, and the specific details can only be discussed in depth when shooting.

"Zhifan! It's getting late, why don't you go to rest first!"

Liu Zexin walked behind Li Zhifan and said, "Tomorrow morning, you have to host it yourself!"

Li Zhifan rubbed his eyes and said, "Okay! I guess they are all tired, let everyone rest, and start shooting directly tomorrow morning, and inform all departments to prepare well, so there can be no mistakes!"

As he spoke, Li Zhifan lowered his voice and said, "It's the first time we're cooperating with foreigners, so we can't lose face in front of them."

"OK, Got it!"

Liu Zexin pursed his lips and smiled, turned and left.

Li Zhifan clapped his hands and said, "Okay, let's get here first! Tomorrow it will start at nine o'clock, everyone, don't be late, remember to be on time, and go to rest!"

All the American staff are fine. Their usual working hours happen to be the night of BJ's time. In addition, they have already made up for sleep during the day, so few of them doze off.

And the staff on the Chinese side had already dozed off in a daze. Hearing Li Zhifan's words, it was as if they had received amnesty.

……

next morning.

nine o'clock.

The production team of "Wolf Warrior" officially launched in the film and television base, and held a simple opening ceremony.

All the staff members participated, including actors and actresses, domestic and foreign, all present.

Most of the foreign actors who play daddy’s men are unknown stuntmen and stand-in actors, and it’s best to make guest appearances, but these people are very useful, because in addition to guest roles as mercenaries, they can also play in The crew helped out with other things, so I directly signed a contract with the crew.

The start-up ceremony is a purely Western-style setting. In fact, this set has now become a customary rule in China.

Champagne tower, pour champagne, play a "Song of Triumph" symphony, and then add firecrackers with Chinese characteristics.

After a circle, the start-up ceremony will be done.

The scenes that were first arranged were all in the abandoned steel factory next to the film and television base. This steel factory was a well-run state-owned enterprise 20 years ago, but it went bankrupt due to various reasons, and was later acquired by a private company and became a private company.

With the industrial downturn, the factory changed from a steel factory to an electronics factory. Later, the electronics factory moved to a new factory in a county in Hebei, so it was abandoned and vacant for ten years.

The steel factory is not a film and television base, but it happens to be next to it. After obtaining the consent of the owner, the crew moved in.

In the first scene, Li Zhifan yelled at the factory workers: "I'm here to save you!"

The filming seems to be very simple, but it mainly depends on Li Zhifan's personal acting skills.

Whether he can pass one by one is up to him.

Those foreign actors and the Hollywood production team all looked at Li Zhifan with arms folded. They also wanted to know what level this self-directed and self-acted Chinese person has, because this determines their future work attitude. After something happened, he still followed the director conscientiously and conscientiously.

I just want to see if your director is professional or not.

However, after this group of shots was taken, everyone applauded.

Some of them were meaningless, and some of them really showed Li Zhifan's acting skills.

One by one!

It's a good start for this drama!

Li Zhifan came to the monitor to watch the replay, and made a gesture: "OK! No problem, the first scene is over!"

Then he said to the makeup artist: "Give me makeup!"

The shooting times were all set in advance, and the scene manager in charge of on-site confirmation came over in surprise and asked, "Director Li, the next scene..."

"Focus on Lilith and Ao Lei's scenes first!"

Before he finished speaking, Li Zhifan said, "Let them get in touch with our people. Ao Lei is a veteran action actor. I had a deep chat with him yesterday, and we will come when we can."

"This...alright!" The stage manager handed the script to Li Zhifan, "Director Li, then we're going to shoot this scene next, you get ready to make up!"

Li Zhifan took a look and smiled.

This is the most important scene in "Wolf Warrior 2" - the scene where the villains played by Leng Feng and Ao Lei fiercely confront Bo.

The scene is five minutes long, but when it was filmed, it was much more than that.

Li Zhifan walked up to Ao Lei with the script, and asked, "Have you watched the second scene, how was it?"

"I've seen it! It's absolutely fine!"

Aole grinned and squeezed his fists, then took off his down jacket, revealing the half sleeves he was wearing underneath.

It was January, and BJ's winter was unusually cold. Ole was only wearing half sleeves, and he didn't feel cold at all. His bulging muscles seemed to be steaming.

"OK!"

Li Zhifan smiled and said, "Wait for me for 2 minutes."

After speaking, he began to unbutton his shirt, and after taking it off, he called the makeup artist to apply makeup on him.

"Is not It Cold?"

"Director Li, would you like some hot water?"

"Li, be careful!"

"Director, as the action director of this play, I need to remind you that this scene is still being designed, right?"

Everyone gathered around Li Zhifan and talked.

But Li Zhifan waved his hand: "No need for anything, first let me and Ao Lei show you how to do it, so you can design it. In fact, no matter how perfect the design is, it's not as smooth as punching to the flesh."

The action director looked astonished, thinking that he had heard it wrong.

After he confirmed that he had heard correctly, he exclaimed in shock, "I'm so scared! Director, do you have a grudge against Ao Lei?"

As film practitioners who are also working in Hollywood, these American staff still have a lot of respect for Ole. After all, he is a famous film actor, which is different from them who are still looking for opportunities.

So in this shooting, they thought that it was best for neither of them to get hurt, and at the same time, they thought that with Ole's strength, they would definitely beat up this Chinese kid. Of course they are proud of being Americans, but As film crews in the same group, they were ready to step forward to protect director Li Zhifan at any time.

"Three! Two! One! Start!"

As the executive director shouted, the three photographers started shooting at close range with the lens on their shoulders, and those in the distance were also shooting in real time.

There is no foreplay, no dialogue, and the two of them can say that they shot at a disagreement.

Because the film is a science of editing, the previous jabbering can be left for a while before shooting. Now it is freezing cold, it is better to warm up first.

The two of them were throwing their fists back and forth, and they were both feeding.

As a veteran action actor, Ao Lei has already developed his own set of control over strength, the beauty of shooting angles, etc. He can do it himself without any action design.

Of course, this is the case when he is the protagonist, but in recent years, he has played more villains, and he is used to accommodating the protagonist, so the first appearance is to accommodate Li Zhifan, and at the same time, he has to take into account his own image in the camera.

So some people once said that when shooting an action scene, it is more difficult to be a villain than a leading role, and they have to be beaten and take care of the leading role. If it is not for the profession of action design to pre-set the way, angle, speed, etc. of their moves, I am afraid that there are not many people. Able to play the role of villain on his own.

Ole, however, is one of them.

The two came back and forth, blocking with punches and legs, and after ten minutes of vain fighting, the assistant director over there shouted: "Crack!"

Li Zhifan and Ao Lei immediately withdrew their fists and kicks. After putting on their clothes, they walked shoulder to shoulder and came behind the monitor.

"How?" Li Zhifan asked.

The assistant director said: "You can watch it again, I think the shots that can be used are more than 5 minutes long."

Action clips must be smooth and artistic, which is not an easy task. Sometimes the same trick has to be repeated several times from different angles in the movie to achieve an "amazing" effect.

The images on the monitor that the two of them see now are taken by five cameras, two close-range short focal lengths, one close-range long focal length, one long-distance long focal length, and one overhead camera.

"This one works! This one works too!"

"This won't work, it's too empty!"

Li Zhifan pointed, sometimes nodded, sometimes shook his head.

After watching the whole thing, he frowned and said: "No, it's not ruthless enough. This scene is already a scene where enemies meet. Both of them are red-eyed, but the fight doesn't have the shocking feeling of life and death. No, no!"

Ao Lei also smiled wryly, "My eyes are cold, but after exercising, my blood is flowing all over my body. Why don't we do it again?"

"Okay!" Li Zhifan suggested, "Ask the motion director."

The action director on the side has been silently observing the shooting of the two just now, and sometimes sketches in the notebook and writes down some things.

I thought he was not needed for this scene, but when I heard what Li Zhifan said, I immediately leaned over in surprise and said, "Director, Ao Lei, I think you can get closer, fight more realistically, and let me show you the moves." I designed a few, you see..."

After explaining the moves he designed, Li Zhifan and Ao Lei approved several of them, and then Li Zhifan said: "Why don't we really have a fight? Don't be restricted, follow the rules of the group arena, and see Whoever puts it first!"

"Okay! I'm fine!"

Ao Lei spread his hands indifferently. At the same time, he was a boxer and won the featherweight boxing gold belt. Naturally, he would not be afraid of ring-style competitions.

"That's fine, don't show mercy!"

Li Zhifan took off his coat, walked towards the venue, and shouted at the same time: "Every department is in place, ready to shoot."

The makeup artist immediately went up to touch up the makeup of the two, and painted blood plasma, cyan oil paint and so on on the face again.

Although he said he would try his best to be merciless, how could Ao Lei really do this?

Looking at Li Zhifan who was a head lower than him, he couldn't help showing mercy.

But when he and Li Zhifan collided fiercely head-on, he was knocked over by Li Zhifan's fist, and only after he fell to the ground did he feel a pain in his lower abdomen.

"Whoops!"

Ao Lei's eyes widened, the whites of his eyes were bloodshot, "You...you..."

"To be honest, how do you stop?"

Li Zhifan went up to Lao Lei, but the cameraman stopped him. He ran up to Lao Lei and took a close-up of his exaggerated face, and then dispersed.

"Just do what you did just now!"

The action director said excitedly, "Olei, you did a great job! This is the feeling of being hurt!"

Ao Lei listened, and tears welled up in the corner of his eyes.

I'm in so much pain!
