Chapter 316 Super large crew, trick practice

Most of "Flying Swords of the Dragon Gate" were filmed in Tianmo Film and Television City.

"Tianmo" is located in Longbao Mountain in Huailai, North Hebei, about 90 kilometers away from the imperial capital, and runs through the Badaling Great Wall and Kangxi Grassland. It is composed of mountains, Gobi, deserts, and lakes. "desert".

The desert is surrounded by ordinary farmland. With its unique and charming natural scenery, it has gradually become one of the best locations for domestic and foreign film and television dramas to choose the western scenery in recent years, and the original Northwest Film and Television City has gradually declined due to this.

Zhou Xia got up at six o'clock in the morning and set off with the driver and assistant, and arrived at the film and television city in an hour and a half.

When the "Dragon Gate" project was established a year ago, a new "Dragon Gate Inn" was built in Tianmo, as well as other locations, such as those ancient water transport ships and so on.

But despite this, many scenes still have to be shot on green cloth and synthesized in post-production animation.

In addition, the action scenes all use 3D technology, so this movie is also the first officially certified IMAX 3D movie in the history of Chinese movies.

Zhou Xia knows the principle of 3D shooting, but he doesn't know many specific operations involved.

It is also the first time for Mr. Xu to try a new technology. He wants to combine 3D and martial arts to enhance the charm of declining martial arts action movies technically.

Only then did he invite xj and a foreign professional 3D team to help him explore and test new genres of martial arts films.

Zhou Xia can join this crew, so he can naturally learn a lot of knowledge.

As for Zhou Xia's entry into the group according to the schedule, Mr. Xu was very dissatisfied.

In the crew of "Dragon Gate", only Li Lianjie and Zhou Xun joined the crew according to the schedule, and the others followed the crew all the time.

The shooting of this film did not take long, and it is expected to be a little more than three months.

He originally thought that Zhou Xia was a rookie actor, and Li Lianjie told him that Zhou Xia was dedicated to his work.

In order to play the role of 'Dafuku', how to experience life, how to gain weight successfully in a few days.

If you want to cooperate with a big director like him, needless to say, you will always shoot with the crew.

Who would have thought that as a result of Yu Dong's negotiations, Zhou Xia would join the group according to the schedule!

When Old Freak Xu knew about this situation, he almost changed roles in anger.

But he has already apologized to Chen Kun who had made an appointment for an audition, and then dismissed Zhou Xia who signed the contract. Where can he find a more suitable candidate?
And the movie is about to start shooting, and it really can't stand the toss.

After all, the role of Yuhuatian is Dongfang Bubai in "Flying Armor of the Dragon Gate". The actual protagonist is a great attraction of this drama.

Finally, he found Zhou Xia, an actor who is good at martial arts and good at acting, and he is more satisfied than Chen Kun. There is really no reason to change because of this.

Although Old Freak Xu admitted the matter while pinching his nose, his attitude towards Zhou Xia naturally changed a lot from his previous appreciation.

Zhou Xia rushed to Tianmo Film and Television City with his assistant Duan Peishan and driver Yuan Fang after seven o'clock and before eight o'clock.

The crew's filming hadn't started that day. In the early morning, the staff of various behind-the-scenes departments were already making preparations, and some actors were also putting on makeup first.

Because it is a desert area, the temperature difference between day and night is large, and it is the weather at the end of December, the crew all wear down jackets in the morning.

Zhou Xia also prepared cold-proof clothes, wearing a black down jacket, a hat, and a mask.

First, I met the production director Sun Hebin and the coordinator Chen Feiyu, and after seeing today's shooting plan, I went to meet the director with Sun Hebin.

The director and the two film crews have already arrived at the shooting site from the hotel and are discussing today's shooting plan in the big tent.

Zhou Xia had no choice but to wait outside until their discussion was over before going in to say hello.

"Master, hello, sister Shi, I'm here to report."

"Come on, I'll be filming your scene this afternoon, so you don't have to be in such a hurry." Old Freak Xu said with a poker-faced expression, using his barely audible accent.

The producer Shi Nansheng looked at Zhou Xia and shook his head.

Seeing this situation, Zhou Xia knew it was not good.

Old Freak Xu looks very unhappy now, and he has completely lost the appreciation he had for him during the audition before.

Zhou Xia probably understood the reason, and explained with a correct attitude: "Director Xu, I should, I should have arrived earlier. Originally, I wanted to shoot with the crew, but I actually signed a contract with Sugar Man.

They have been waiting for me for that drama for two months, there is no way to push it any further, so I can only join the group now, the director please forgive me. "

"Well, I got it. You go downstairs to prepare and familiarize yourself with the crew first. Ma Yongli, you go too. The most important thing is to teach him all the martial arts routines in the afternoon. When you have lunch at noon, you come together and let him I'll check the situation."

"Okay." A well-built martial artist in his thirties who seemed to have practiced agreed.

Zhou Xia had no choice but to bid farewell to Old Freak Xu and others, and left with Sun Hebin and Ma Yongli to familiarize himself with the crew and the afternoon's shooting arrangement.

"Old Xu, why are you doing this? He is a newcomer, and he is popular now. He must be full of film contracts. You see, you scare other children."

After Zhou Xia left, Shinansheng looked at Xu Ke and laughed.

"Don't blame me, a newcomer actor, no matter what other status he has or how much money he has, since he entered this industry, he must have professionalism.

The two roles of Yuhuatian and Fenglidao play a very important role in this movie. The most important thing is that there can be no mistakes. I am really worried about his attitude! "

"That's true. We must pay attention to it, but his attitude should be fine. After all, Lao Mouzi trained people. Ajie also said that he is dedicated to his work, so you can rest assured."

"I hope so." Xu Ke sighed, finally feeling a little relieved.

…………

Zhou Xia followed Sun Hebin and Ma Yongli out of the director's tent. After they came out, Sun Hebin introduced him seriously.

The crew was divided into two groups, AB and AB. Each group had three assistant directors, four scene notes, and nearly a thousand staff members in the entire crew!
This does not count the extras and post-production, but the current staff present!

In the scenery setting department alone, there are a total of 58 people including the scenery designer, scenery foreman, external scenery patriarch, and scenery setting workers, 25 martial artists, 25 horse teams, 10 camel teams, 48 ​​field managers, and drivers. 88 people.

Zhou Xia listened to the situation of these crews and saw the busy surroundings. There were indeed hundreds of people. She was surprised and admired Old Freak Xu even more.

Under normal circumstances, a crew of more than [-] people is a large crew, and this kind of super crew is really beyond the control of ordinary directors.

And the vast majority of directors will never have this opportunity in their lifetime, because the producer will not easily agree to make such a large investment in the production.

Unless it is a big director with experience and charisma, I don't know when he will be able to make this kind of blockbuster.

Zhou Xia couldn't help thinking in his heart.

Sun Hebin took Zhou Xia to familiarize himself with the situation of the crew, and arranged for him a hotel, a living assistant, and a driver.

Zhou Xia came this time with the driver and assistant Duan Peishan, but declined Sun Hebin, and asked him to arrange room and board for the assistant and driver.

After all, this place is in the desert, and the crew set up tents during the filming, but at night they had to leave the crew and return to live in a hotel outside the scenic area. There were only spectators on the set.

Let Duan Peishan and the driver Xiaoyuan go to see the situation of the hotel first and arrange the luggage, while Zhou Xia followed Ma Yongli to find a place to start a trick, preparing for the afternoon scene.

"Yes, in this scene, you are one against four. The director's design is to mainly show Yuhuatian's profound internal strength and force back the four major players of the East Factory. So when you end, you can use a cross to finish. Yes, that's it!"

After Ma Yongli finished speaking to Zhou Xia, he acted it out and asked Zhou Xia to imitate it.
