Southern Hunan Province, Fenghuang Ancient Town Scenic Area.

Early in the morning, fog was everywhere, and a convoy carried a group of people to travel through the woodland outside the ancient city.

Soon, the group came to the Miao village in the suburbs. It was said to be in the suburbs, but it was actually considered an urban area. It had complete water and electricity, but the transportation was quite troublesome. It was mainly to protect the local Miaojiang culture, and it was specially marked out.

In a relatively remote and flat place, everyone gathered together, the camera was covered with red cloth, and several masters brought by Zhang Chong were decorating it.

Soon, Zhang Chong, as the director, walked over, lit a few incense sticks near the camera, and bowed to the surroundings.

Originally, I had to kill chickens, but because there were many girls present, I directly avoided this process.

I don’t know what the name of this process is. Anyway, unification can be called the opening ceremony. The two worlds Yang Bei experienced before and after have such rituals with different details.

Yang Bei has witnessed it with his own eyes many times, but it is not considered superstition. After all, Chinese people have always worshipped this god when it is useful, and not worshiped that god when it is useless.

In addition to the crew of "Legend of Sword and Fairy", there are also several local leaders who come together. The level is not high, but it is not low.

After all, the TV series is one of the cultural industries that the state supports, and the heroine of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" is from the Miao people. If it is well filmed, it will also be a publicity for local culture.

...

The reason I chose to start the filming in the ancient city of Phoenix is ​​that the first scene will be filmed in the plot of Miaojiang.

Not only Zhao Linger returns to Miaojiang as the princess of the Miaojiang Witch King, but also a series of characters and stories from Miaojiang such as Anu, Elder Shi, Saint Gu, and the Moon Master will happen here. Well, there is also the plot of Li Xiaoyao using the Nuwa magic to dream back to time and space and change history.

These plot parts have requirements in environmental landscapes. In order to have as perfect scenes as possible, first of all, they cannot be shot in winter. They must be shot when the environment is kept more green.

If you follow the chronological order of the script and follow the steps, then when it is the turn of Miaojiang, it is probably snowing here, so you can shoot it in advance.

The above is part of the reason, and another part of the reason is that Yang Bei wants to have a good relationship with this Miaojiang scenic spot.

After all, if there is "Immortal One", there is a high probability that there will be "Immortal Three" in the future. The descendants of Nuwa are closely related to Miaojiang. It is impossible to leave this place behind when filming sister works in the future.

"Legend of Sword and Fairy" will definitely be popular in the future, and as the starting location of a popular TV series, it is also a very face-saving thing, especially tourist attractions like Phoenix.

This is the first time I have come here. Because "Sword of Fairy" can play a publicity role, the local leaders have provided a lot of convenience. They have helped to divide and blockade and help to attract local sponsorships.

After "Immortal One" is proven, the next time I come to film "Immortal Three", the help I get will definitely be better.

However, those are funerals, so Yang Bei doesn't need to contact him deliberately. After the TV series is launched, everything will naturally get better.

After saying goodbye to the leaders, the actors and staff who came all started to form teams to wander around nearby scenic spots. Of course, it was a limited range. Although the people present were not as precious as young and fresh meat, they also needed to pay attention to safety.

Yang Bei doesn't want any accidents to happen on the first day of the filming. It's best if there are no accidents in the past few months. Everyone can finish the filming and then disband after the final banquet.

......

Because it is an outdoor scene, I don’t film on the first day, so that the actors can become familiar with the environment and substitute the emotions they should have.

Yang Bei did not rest. He and Zhang Chong took the cameraman and the light dynamo around, checking the site from time to time to time to look at the environment, and discussing the plot from time to time.

Of course, when telling, Yang Bei is actually the main focus.

In order to film, he has worked hard to understand a lot before, and he is also a screenwriter of a TV series, so many times he is using his own perspective to transform the text in the script into stories that happen in the actual scene.

It’s not because Yang Bei wants to seize power or something. If possible, he hopes that Zhang Chong can carry the flag in full. He just needs to concentrate on playing the role well.

But the most important thing is that among the people present, he was the only one who had watched the films in the original world. Zhang Chong had at most read the script and a few storyboards. Fortunately, he was a director, and his imagination and experience were rich enough, otherwise he might not be able to keep up with Yang Bei's pace.

In another world, "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is the originator of ancient ornaments, and the filming period is relatively early. Various special effects and techniques are not in place, and there are even some plot flaws, but it can still be popular all over the country.

When we arrived in this world, after Yang Bei's careful revision, the flaws that started from the script were almost perfect, and the technological level of this world, which was a little faster than that, also added a hint to the upcoming TV series.

Just as Yang Bei was immersed in the self-description, Zhang Chong, who was standing beside him, was eager to try it out, and couldn't wait to take pictures of all the pictures in Yang Bei's description.

......

Fortunately, Zhang Chong's expectations did not delay too long and came soon the next day.

By the way, the next day here refers to two o'clock in the morning!

Before dawn, several strong lights were set up in the woods. To shoot night scenes, light control is the key. Fortunately, Zhang Chong brought rich experience in the lighting team and quickly found the feeling Yang Bei wanted.

In the first scene, Yang Bei and Zhang Chong had already discussed that they would film the scene "Liu Jin Yuan's assassination of Li Xiaoyao at night".

It was Liu Jinyuan who stabbed Li Xiaoyao in the heart with a knife and pretended to defect to the leader of the Moon, but in fact the position of the knife stab was very subtle, which just caused Li Xiaoyao to fall into a state of fake death.

This section can be regarded as the most foreshadowing and psychological changes in the entire article of "Legend of Sword and Fairy". The most important thing is that this section is really playful and requires acting skills.

Whether they play Li Xiaoyao, Liu Jinyuan, or even the leader of the Moon, they all need to go through at least three changes in this play.

Moreover, this change must be performed. It is necessary to make the audience in front of the screen feel a sense of doubt when they watch the first time. When they recall the second time, they suddenly realize it. When they watch the third time, they feel a sense of qualitativeness.

......

"This time it won't work. You're too hesitant to move. This is a fake knife and not a real knife. Do it again."

"No, you have no murderous intention in your eyes. The leader of the Moon is proficient in human nature. You have no real murderous intention in your eyes towards me. How could you hide it from him? Let's start over?"

"This time, the murderous intent is too heavy. You still have to restrain yourself. You don't really want to kill me, start over."

"no......"

“Start again…”

Over and over again, Yang Bei was stabbed, lay down, and then stood up and shouted "Do it again."

This is not only him, but also the actor who plays Liu Jinyuan, who is the opposite actor. In order to achieve the murderous intent that Yang Bei said, his eyes were swollen.

Many people don’t understand why the first play on the first day is so difficult and requires such a strict start.

Isn’t filming a step-by-step process? Why is Yang Bei so radical? And the director Zhang Chong on the side has no objection at all, and even seems to be a little eager for them to work harder.

However, among the people present, those with a little more experienced crew remained silent, and they already understood what they were doing.

Stirring the show!

But in the past, it is always directors who become actors. Like today, it is rare for actors to carry themselves and practice them.

......

Finally, just as the sky was getting dark, Yang Bei fell backward again with the force in the other party's hand, but this time, he did not stand up again.

Chu Shanshan, who was watching, thought that something happened to Yang Bei's fall, and was about to step forward in a hurry, but was blocked by the fast-moving assistant director.

She looked aside with frustrated eyes.

I saw the photographer carrying the camera on the side lowering his body and slowly approaching, slowly approaching Yang Bei, and the deep lens was frozen on the empty eyes.

"Crack, OK, everyone, take a break and prepare for the transition."

In front of the camera, Zhang Chong suddenly stood up and clapped his hands hard. Yang Bei, who was lying on the ground, was immediately afraid of getting up, so he came to the machine to watch the playback.

Time passed by bit by bit.

Two weeks later, in the ancient town of Fenghuang, a group of people booked a small restaurant and were chatting.

Today, the crew found an open water surface and needed to rebuild the wire and machine tracks. Most of the staff were helping, and only the actors were idle, so they just took a day off.

After more than ten days of running-in, this group of people who were originally somewhat strangers gradually became familiar with each other under constant collisions. At the same time, they also became familiar with their respective characters.

At the beginning, in order to enhance the sense of substitution, the crew required everyone to use the titles in the script. When they started calling them, everyone was a little embarrassed, but now, they have long been very easy to shout about titles such as "Brother Xiaoyao", "Ling'er", "Dangerous Woman", and "Anu".

Of course, it was also smooth, and the shooting process in the past few days.

As everyone took on their own roles, the difficulty of shooting was sharply reduced. From the beginning, it was slow and difficult, but gradually, it began to be able to maintain the dialogue under the long shot without interruption.
