Chapter 339 Shoot!

The first shot failed without incident.

With a scene lasting over 6 minutes, it is obviously too magical to be able to watch it all at once.

Fortunately, the actual problem is not big.

After shouting "click", Lu Ping'an ignored Jiang Wen who was behind him, but chatted with Zhou Yiwei, Baoqiang and the others first.

"It was good just now, but there are a few points where I have some ideas. Here, yes, this stone starts here. Baoqiang, your body is going to turn this way."

"The same goes for you, Lao Zhou. Your body is a little tighter. Don't worry about whether the ground is muddy or not. Don't be afraid of slipping. It will come naturally."

The two of them nodded and took note, then with the help of the makeup artist, they returned to their original position and continued to think about it, waiting for this to happen again.

In addition to the issue of actors, photography is also very important.

"Mouse, are you okay?"

"There's something wrong. My waist is sore. Come and give me something to hold on to."

Ning Hao's current expression was serious and serious that Lu Ping'an had never seen before.

After all, the most important thing about a shot is photography.

According to current standards, as long as it is shot well, it will be Oscar-winning cinematography, so you can imagine how difficult it is to make this kind of film.

In actual operation, Ning Hao not only had to fight against the machine physically, but also suffered physical torture from cameras and stabilizers.

There are also technical confrontations.

For example, after Ning Hao put up the mat, Lu Pingan said: "Here, here, and here, the focus needs to be adjusted."

After the areas that need adjustment are pointed out.

The next step is to fight against mental pressure.

Will it be able to be filmed as required, and will it be possible to respond accordingly to the actors' temporary movements, etc.

Moreover, if he and the actors cooperate well, if the sound recording and lighting fail to keep up, they will have to start over again, and when they start over, it will be a new round of confrontation from scratch.

Therefore, one shot to the end is not just a matter of the length of the shot being longer. With every extra minute, the difficulty caused by various problems will increase exponentially.

This is far more difficult than the two-minute long shot in "Wonderful Night 1".

It’s just that no matter how difficult it is, you have to shoot it.

“For the best photography!”

Ning Hao cheered up angrily.

"For the actor!"

Zhou Yiwei also kept up easily.

Others chimed in, for the best visuals, best makeup and hairstyling

Overall, the atmosphere on the set is good, but everyone knows it.

Everyone felt the difficulty as soon as it started, so I'm afraid this relaxed atmosphere won't last long, and that's when the team's ability will be truly tested.

"Okay, get ready and continue in three minutes."

After a while, Lu Ping'an gave the order and returned behind the monitor, and then asked Jiang Wen, "How was it?"

Jiang Wen laughed and said, "You just want me to praise you. Okay, you are awesome. I will have to call you master tomorrow!"

Hu Qingquan and others laughed.

Jiang Wen will also participate in the movie this time, and he will play the role of an officer in the film.

This role suits him quite well.

According to the plan, he will join the set in 21 days, then rehearse for two days, and start shooting in 24 days.

But of course Jiang Wen would not follow the plan obediently.

Lu Ping'an wanted to make a movie, and it was this kind of movie, so he naturally wanted to help with the scene.

Lu Ping'an is also very happy for him to come, and the two of them actually have a tacit understanding now.

So this time, he was assigned two lines, more actors, and more complex scenes to be the executive director.

With him around, Lu Pingping will indeed feel much more at ease.

Of course, the premise is still the same, it can’t be changed drastically, and it can’t take too much time.

Jiang Wen readily agreed, put down the post-production work of "The Sun Also Rises" and went straight to Hengdian.

"You are becoming more and more adventurous now."

Jiang Wen smiled and praised.

Lu Ping'an waved his hand: "No, I just want to use this method to give Xiaozhi Translator a surprise."

"Translation? Why do these words sound so familiar to me? Is there any source?"

"Of course there is a source."

Lu Ping'an pointed upward.

Jiang Wen's eyes lit up and he decided to include it!

After the two chatted for a while, they started filming.

Then at 11 o'clock, the sun was shining in the sky, and the filming of this scene ended temporarily.

A total of 5 shots were taken.

Unfortunately, it never exceeded 95%.

Lu Ping'an ordered his troops to retreat and wait for the light to match at the same time tomorrow to continue.

That's what a shot is all about. Light is very important. It can't be worn or rushed.

Of course, it can also be used multiple times on the same day. For example, you can shoot day and night scenes in the morning and afternoon respectively.

It's just that the night scenes haven't been finished yet, so it's relatively easy at the moment.

At the end of the morning's shooting, Yiwei Yiwei and Baoqiang felt a little tired and felt that they had not performed well.

However, Lu Pingan, Jiang Wen and others spoke highly of them.

Jiang Wen, in particular, pinched their shoulders and praised them.

It is indeed worthy of praise.

In order to better fit the body shapes of soldiers during the Anti-Japanese War, these two people only lost half a month from the end of August to now. One lost 19 pounds and the other lost 12 pounds.

Now that the two of them have put on the uniforms of the national army and put on makeup, they indeed look very similar to the soldiers in many old photos.

It's just that this level of weight loss is really not easy for people like them whose basic weight is not large.

That alone deserves a thumbs up.

As for acting, although "1937" doesn't really require acting skills, this is only for movies that are generally competing for Oscars. Compared with other movies, the required acting skills are also of high standards.

The performance of these two people this morning was actually good.

The reason why they didn't pass the test was actually a problem of overall cooperation of the crew.

Jiang Wen saw this clearly, so he encouraged people very hard.

Ning Hao and others were also encouraged.

And everyone saw that Jiang Wen recognized himself so much, even if it was a bit exaggerated, but the feeling was self-evident.

This is how career is. In difficult times, many times, we actually rely on mutual encouragement to get through.

The crew encouraged each other and cheered each other up, which easily formed a positive chemical reaction.

So after lunch in the afternoon, Zhou Yiwei and Baoqiang came to the set in advance and continued to rehearse in the crew.

The director in charge of acting now has Jiang Wen, and Jiang Wen also took the initiative to help adjust.

The other crew members of the scene also continued to rehearse.

Everyone brainstormed and soon found many problems and ways to improve.

Lu Pingan was very satisfied. In his opinion, the project needed to be completed smoothly. Now the harmony between people and people has been truly achieved.

What was left was a little bit of luck.

And the old saying goes, the time is not as good as the location, and the location is not as good as the people.

Now the crew is united, and great things are not afraid of not being able to succeed!

Sure enough, on the third day, the first scene was filmed with the tacit understanding of everyone, and finally scored 103%.

That's enough, there is no need to shoot again.

"Passed!"

Lu Pingan's voice came from the headsets of all the crew members.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and cheered.

Of course, everyone also knows that this scene has only two actors, which is the lowest difficulty among all the scenes.

There are still a lot of super difficult ones waiting behind.

So it's not time to relax yet.

But the current situation is not bad. This first scene was expected to be shot in 4 days. Now it was completed one day ahead of schedule, and the overall task bar was shortened by one day.

If time can be saved for each low-difficulty scene in the future, then those hard bones will not be a problem.

So today is truly a good start!
