1056: Hard Shooting
What "Di Renjie's God Capital Dragon King" will involve is the same as the previous "Tongtian Empire", and there will be many mysterious places...
With Li Donglai joining, Xu Ke's ambition also emerged. He wanted to start from this movie, from Di Renjie when he was young, and gradually create a classic movie series. Di Renjie is a person who can be discovered, and there are many magical stories that can happen in him. Moreover, through the excavation of the character Di Renjie, the glory of the prosperous Tang Dynasty behind Di Renjie is slowly reflected!
As a Chinese, few people do not miss the royal world of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. They are inclusive and brave, and those who are not inferior or arrogant in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. They also miss the beautiful articles of the prosperous Tang Dynasty when they are spit out with their cuffs.
Li Donglai has done his work and has officially started working in the crew.
A big movie mixed with many elements such as martial arts, detectives, suspense, fantasy, etc. is slowly beginning.
The crew released the first poster of Di Renjie on the official website.
Li Donglai was wearing the Tang Dynasty official uniform, with his back facing the audience, turned around and showed half of his side face, his cloak was waving, his eyes were restrained, and the dragon mace was in his hand. The background was the sea churning, the heavy rain poured, and endless bats danced in the picture.
It is very tempting. As soon as the poster was released, it sparked heated discussion. "Di Renjie's God Capital Dragon King" has become one of the most anticipated movies next year. Although the movie will not be released until next summer, Huayi feels that she will not suffer any losses when she sees the current audience's hot reaction.
Li Donglai's salary was also exposed. It broke a new record. The salary of hundreds of millions is worth his identity. It is worth the money. To be honest, this is the price set before the Olympics. After the Olympics, his value has increased a lot, and he has not bargained. After all, most of the movies are investments by Phantom themselves, and Li Donglai doesn't care about that little pay. The box office is good and the share is enough.
Then, posters of other protagonists were released one after another. Each one was beautiful. Especially Baby, who still held a pipa and half-covered her face, had a graceful figure, and a long skirt. The ribbons were flying, and she was a peerless beauty who was floating in the air.
...
"Cut! This one has passed!"
As Director Xu Ke's voice fell, everyone on the scene also stopped busy. Li Donglai had just made a cool fight. After turning over in the air, he landed on the ground and half knelt on the ground. Next, he would run to the water to pursue the traces of the Dragon King falling into the water. Li Donglai's movements were elegant and neat, which made all the martial arts who were fighting for their bodies admire him.
The people around were convinced by Li Donglai. Even the old monster Xu who was sitting in front of the monitor had to exclaim to this guy.
Li Donglai is now famous in the international world, mainly as a director, but as a director, he can shoot in such a powerful effect when filming action scenes, even better than a stand-in! What kind of ability is this? He is really omnipotent!
But it’s not surprising to think about your performance at the Olympics and the strongest nickname on Earth.
"You can play well, Donglai. It's true that you have the skills outside. Such a scene is not difficult for him. How about you add a few more moves later?" Xu Ke said.
Li Donglai took a sip of water, "No problem, as long as you don't feel bloated. You should know that sometimes you don't have to pursue beautiful actions, and you will eventually serve the plot."
"Uh..." Xu Ke hesitated for a moment, "Forget it, you're right. I'm already very satisfied, so as not to add to the slightest slightest. It's better to shoot underwater scenes. This is the main point." After a few words, Baby gave him a thumbs up when she saw it.
Lin Gengxin complained in a fake way: "Director, then why do I have to hold up so many scenes?"
Xu Ke rolled his eyes and said, "If you could handle it in one go, I wouldn't have hung you up so many times." Lin Gengxin laughed. He was just a joke.
The long martial arts scenes were full of difficulties and obstacles. Martial arts were originally a high-risk scene, which could easily be injured. I don’t know if it could achieve the effect he wanted. As the co-director of the movie, Li Donglai also has his own requirements for this movie. He hopes that many things in the movie can better cater to the needs of Western audiences. The Chinese costume film has been silent in Europe and the United States for many years since "Huo Yuanjia". I hope that "Di Renjie's God Capital Dragon King" can bring them some refreshing viewing experience.
In order to achieve such a movie-watching experience, Li Donglai communicated with action director Yuan Bin many times and tried his best to be perfect.
Feng Shaofeng, who plays Yuchi Zhenjin, is also responsible for a large-scale action scene. In one scene, he hung up with a wire for 12 hours, and after finishing work and returning to the hotel, he found bruises on his body. Although it was very hard, Li Donglai, who had watched the photography video, felt qualified. At least the action performance after the video would not make Li Donglai look beautiful alone, and would never disappoint people. He also joked on the set: "It's very handsome, but a little worse than me." Feng Shaofeng was amused and crying.
He also joked: "The audience is looking for action shots when watching movies. They are all for you. Even if I add icing on the cake, at least I can't be too out of standard."
"Teacher Feng is kind, he really beats very well. If you don't believe me, please ask Director Yuanbin."
When Yuan Bin heard the conversation, he gave Feng Shaofeng a thumbs up, "It's great. After all, there is no second pervert like Li Donglai on the entire earth. You are a normal person, and you can make up for the gap with your efforts."
The people around him suddenly burst into laughter, and there was a black thread on Li Donglai's forehead.
For underwater shooting, Xu originally wanted to invite an Australian underwater photographer. Li Donglai suggested that the underwater crew of the Pirates of the Caribbean come over. After hearing this, Xu Ke refused. After all, in "Pirates of the Caribbean", the skeleton pirates walked past the sea, and the waving and colorful skylight inside the ocean are still hailed by the industry as one of the most exciting underwater shots.
In order to shoot an underwater 3D scene, Li Donglai used six top-level underwater 3D cameras in luxury, which was twice as much as Xu Ke’s original plan. This also allowed Xu Ke to see how Li Donglai spent money on filming.
In order to pursue excellence, it is beautiful and does not hesitate to do anything.
When you meet such a good boss who is willing to pay, what else can you say?
Li Donglai had no experience in underwater shooting 3D before, but he couldn't stand his eagerness to learn. Xu Ke also thought a lot about this scene. He wanted to use underwater 3D techniques to shoot by himself, and he would not give up because of the so-called "3D flooding". All technical ideas are for his own film service, because movies require such appropriate techniques to express themselves.
"3D is not the point, the point is how to make a good movie." On this point, he and Li Donglai have the same views.
Underwater 3D is actually strictly speaking, 3D real shots in the water. This doesn’t sound particularly high-end, atmospheric and upscale. But in fact, there are only no more than 10 underwater 3D cameras in the world so far.
The underwater 3D camera has a huge body and a terrifying weight of 130 kilograms! Moreover, this camera is quite complex, with a waterproof tank and a series of very complex equipment such as waterproof cables. It is really not a small project to install it. This kind of thing is really difficult to operate in China.
Moreover, this underwater 3D camera is very expensive. Every night, you have to check the waterproof tank to see if there is water in the camera. When shooting underwater, moving too fast will easily cause optical phenomena such as refraction, so you cannot move too fast. When the cameraman is doing underwater shooting, he will have a lot of time in the water for a day, which will cause their body temperature to drop seriously. Using the oxygen cylinder behind them will also make people inhale more hydrogen...
So the whole process is very difficult.
These are talking about the difficulty of other personnel. In fact, the torture of the actors will be even greater...
Baby will jump into the water again, trying to make a move. Before entering the water, her eyes habitually captured Li Donglai's figure. Li Donglai walked over and patted her on the shoulder, "Leave it to me, I can't get over it."
Baby was relieved and Zhan Yan smiled, "Will you feel sorry if you die?"
"I feel so distressed now."
"Tsk, you have all your children, how can you feel sorry for me?" Although baby said this, he was still quite happy.
Sure enough, this scene was protected by Li Donglai, and there was no possibility of flooding. Every time she felt that she was almost breathing to the end, Li Donglai would pull her up just right. With such hard escort, she also passed the scene smoothly.
In fact, more scenes are Li Donglai's own, which is more than five meters deep in the water. In order to show a more exquisite shot, Li Donglai could not tie an oxygen cylinder after he went into the water, and could only use a very small respirator.
So, I had difficulty breathing underwater, and tried to open my eyes in the water, and I felt very uncomfortable. Even Li Donglai was like this, so it was conceivable that such underwater 3D shooting would really torture the actors.
After taking a short film, Li Donglai sniped his head and dived out of the water, taking a few breaths.
"Director, is that okay?"
"Director, is it okay?"
"How about Donglai?"
There was a lot of people around him immediately. If such a problem occurred as an extra, everyone would just let him take a break... But now the problem was Li Donglai! So it became a big event that almost made the crew a big deal, and many cast members surrounded him. At this time, the Wiya looked pale and hurriedly apologized to Li Donglai there, a little fearful and terrified.
Xu Ke was too nervous, so he hurried over and asked if Li Donglai was injured.
"It's okay... It's okay, I'm not that precious yet. Wiyala was too anxious just now, so I almost poured water. Let's come again." Li Donglai wiped the water and said to everyone.
Everyone in the crew admires it.
If it were someone else, it would definitely take half an hour to get into the water again.
Chapter completed!
