Chapter 319 Longmen Classmates Reunion

"Old Xu, since the filming is over so quickly, let's continue filming Zhou Xia's next scene. His night scene is indoors tonight, and we can film until ten o'clock."

The filming plan went much smoother than expected. The producer Shi Nansheng saw that it was just after [-] o'clock and knew that Zhou Xia's schedule was tight, so he decided to add a few scenes and consulted the director first.

"Zhou Xia, is there any problem? You just joined the group today, so don't be in such a hurry." Old Freak Xu asked Zhou Xia. He now admires Zhou Xia very much and takes care of Zhou Xia's emotions.

"Master, I'm fine, I can just sleep for two or three hours a day!".

"Two or three hours? You can do it, everyone can't. After all, this is a desert, and the temperature drops a lot at night, and it will be very cold after eight o'clock. Today your night scene is indoors, so it was so late, otherwise eight o'clock It's time to call it a day."

Old Freak Xu stepped forward and patted Zhou Xia on the shoulder, directing all departments to prepare for the filming transition.

Zhou Xia's attitude is very good, his literary and martial arts filming is so smooth, there is no problem with the 28-day schedule.

Producer Shi Nansheng was also happy.

The crew has two main directors, Mr. Xu is shooting martial arts, Zhang Zhibai is shooting literary dramas, and the two film crews A and B each have three assistant directors to assist.

Many cutscenes, secondary scenes, supporting roles, and group performances are handed over to these assistant directors to shoot, which can speed up the progress.

For the next three days, Zhou Xia continued filming, and Zhou Xun and Li Lianjie also joined the cast.

All the main creators joined the group, and the makeup photos were taken and released. Some big group plays and the main scenes can finally be filmed.

The relationship between Zhou Xia and Li Lianjie is naturally different. Although Zhou Xia also learned martial arts from Mr. Wu and is Li Lianjie's younger brother, but there is a big age gap between the two, Li Lianjie treats him as a junior and takes care of and supports him very much.

Being able to participate in this drama this time was also facilitated by his two recommendations.

When he came to the crew and saw Zhou Xia's martial arts practice, Li Lianjie was very satisfied with Zhou Xia's efforts, and he didn't waste his talent.

He gave advice and guidance to Zhou Xia on some problems in Wushu routine practice.

But more is to teach Zhou Xia some experience in shooting action scenes.

How to do the movements in place while hanging the wire or in a restricted space, do it neatly, and have a more impactful feeling.

What kind of action performance can make the audience feel more amazing and shocking on the screen, etc.

These are Li Lianjie's profound experience in filming action scenes for many years. Zhou Xia is extremely grateful for his selfless teaching.

With Li Lianjie's help and guidance, Zhou Xia's performance in action scenes is getting better and better, more and more handy.

After Li Lianjie joined the group, he naturally had to catch up with his schedule to film. Zhou Xia and Li Lianjie didn't have many rivalry scenes, mainly three wonderful martial arts scenes.

After Li Lianjie joined the group, Old Monster Xu arranged the three exciting battles between the two to be filmed two days later.

After all, when shooting martial arts scenes, actors are easily injured. If the two leading actors are injured, these three scenes will not be easy to shoot, and it will also affect the shooting of the entire movie.

Arrange the shooting in advance so that you don't have to worry about it.

There are three martial arts scenes, the first fight scene is on a big boat on the river; the second fight scene is before and after the tornado in the desert; the third scene is in the treasure land.

There are many shots in these three scenes that require the actors to hang the wires and shoot them in 3D. It took five days to complete the shooting.

The difficulty of shooting 3D martial arts films lies in 3D.

3D cameras are much larger and more complicated. To get the best picture, the actors must take care of the camera while fighting.

Sometimes an action is completed perfectly, but because of the "movement" required by 3D, it has to be reshot several times.

In addition, in order to highlight the advantages of 3D in depth and three-dimensionality, it is necessary to disassemble the complex action combinations one by one.

Zhou Xia, Li Lianjie, Zhou Xun and others often pass one literary play, but they have to shoot more than ten times for martial arts.

Everyone is shooting 3D for the first time, and they are still not familiar with it. As they become more and more familiar with it, the feeling of shooting has improved, and they can accurately move to the 3D camera, and the number of ng times is less.

On the shooting scene, Mr. Xu's habit is not to interrupt during the shooting process, wait for a scene to be shot, complete a set of action editing on the scene, and wear 3D glasses to watch the replay.

Look at the power and speed of the whole martial arts action after the 3D effect is enlarged. If it feels really good and immersive, then you will let it go, otherwise you will have to reshoot.

After Zhou Xia and Li Lianjie finished filming these three fight scenes, the following fight scenes were few, scattered, and of low difficulty. The others were literary plays, and he was much more relaxed.

In winter in the north, it gets dark early, and the desert is cold at night, making it impossible to film, especially after outdoor and indoor night scenes are filmed, and the crew closes work early at [-] o'clock.

Back to the hotel, of course, is to think of ways to enrich the night life.

The director will organize the creators to get together, read the script, talk about the performance, and so on.

At the party, everyone will show off their talents.

Mr. Xu's specialty is painting. His hand-painted sub-shots are better than professional painters. Every actor asks him to draw a full-body painting of a character for collection.

The director showed his talents, and so did the others. Brother Chun and Gui Lunmei sang, Zhou Xun and Fan Xiaoxuan danced, Zhou Xia performed martial arts and occasionally sang.

The main creative team got along very well, and someone proposed to set up a "Longmen Alumni Association", and everyone responded together. The members included Zhou Xia, Zhou Gongzi, Chun Ge, Gui Meilun, Fan Xiaoxuan, and Xu Laoguai was the head teacher.

In addition to reading scripts, singing, and practicing martial arts together, we often eat and chat together, and our relationship has improved a lot.

After all, it is the first 3D martial arts film in China, which shows that everyone's creative attitude is very correct.

Everyone has been together for a long time, and everyone has a better understanding of others.

Zhou Gongzi looks gentle and innocent on the outside, a very small woman, but in fact his character is very heroic, even 'savage'.

Because they have the same surname as Zhou Xia, after getting along for half a year, they forced to recognize Zhou Xia as a sibling. Zhou Xia complained in his heart, but he could only recognize this god-sister.

While Zhou Xia mingled with everyone, of course he didn't forget to give everyone Amway WeChat, Xiahua Video Network, Xiahua Chinese Network, etc.

In fact, he doesn't really want to always attend the Longmen Alumni Reunion at night, but wants the driver to take him back to Beijing at night to weed Xiao Ai and Mina.

After all, it is only 90 kilometers away from the imperial capital, more than an hour's drive, but he has to live a disciplined life every night, which is a great waste for his young body.

But the actors have all signed the contract, and they cannot leave the group casually, without exception. He does something special by himself, which destroys the creative atmosphere a bit.

There was no way to leave the group. After the party, Zhou Xia returned to the room, and sometimes she couldn't help but think, maybe it would be good to go to her sister to discuss performing arts, and it would be good to have a better relationship.

But he just thought about it, and finally held back, he really didn't want to lose the only pure friend of the opposite sex besides his cousin Zhao Xueyin!
As for the other women, Miss Xiaomei, Brother Chun, and Fan Xiaoxuan were really not interested.

With no way to release the excess energy, Zhou Xia simply put his energy into the code words.

He coded for four hours every night, and in more than 20 days, he saved about 120 million words. In addition to the large number of manuscripts before, the three books broke out once a month, which can be handled for two months.

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, January 1th, Li Lianjie's scenes were finished, he left the group, and Zhou Xia's scenes were not many, and there will be two days to wrap up.

The filming ended at noon that day, and Zhou Xia was having a special lunch with Zhou Xun and others in the starring dining tent.

Assistant Duan Peishan came to see him with a beautiful girl holding a script.

"Hello, Zhou, brother Zhou, I'm Zhang Xinyu, who plays the role of Concubine Wan Gui, and I have two scenes with you the day after tomorrow."
