Entertainment Empire

This is not Luo Xun's first time filming.

With the foundation laid by "Wolf Warrior", Luo Xun is already familiar with the director's work. Therefore, whether it is directing shots or talking to actors about scenes, Luo Xun has his own preliminary rules and regulations. However, since the filming has just started today, he needs to be reminded of things There are more, so that more people who are cooperating for the first time can become familiar with his style, so he deliberately avoided his own role.

Shoot other people’s parts first.

Watching a performance from a director's perspective is different from watching a performance from an actor's perspective. Luo Xun had to pay attention to the overall effect. For example, at this moment he told Huang Bo a detail: "Brother Bo, when you get off the taxi later, Don’t look directly at your opponent, pay attention to your eyes from low to high, because the camera will use your perspective to see the girl Iguka.”

"clear."

Huang Bo nodded.

Luo Xun turned to the photographer and said: "The background color does not need to be too bright. The tone of our entire movie is a bit gloomy. No character is exception. I need a stronger texture."

"OK."

The photographer nodded.

Then Luo Xun looked at the actor who played Yigu Xia, a new actor in the film industry, Zhou Dongyu. This person was sent by the biggest investor besides Luo Xun himself. Luo Xun thought about it and felt that it was not a big problem, so he let this consultant When the girl got on board, the other party’s acting skills were acceptable, and his debut performance was already remarkable: “You don’t have to think too much, this one in front of you may seem ordinary, but it actually has a story. Uncle is the man you like in your heart, just show it, let’s try.”

Zhou Dongyu nodded repeatedly.

After filming "Hawthorn Tree Love", although she has gained the aura of being a girl, she is still a newcomer in the entertainment industry. Especially in front of a dazzling figure like Luo Xun, she is very reserved. When Luo Xun told her about the scene, , she would feel nervous unconsciously.

Fortunately, Luo Xun is not vicious.

After the filming started, Zhou Dongyu had a small problem. Luo Xun patiently pointed it out without swearing or getting angry. Then he tried it over a few times, and Zhou Dongyu really got better. This made Luo Xun sigh, and he is worthy of being the best in future Chinese films One of the few actresses at the box office, she is indeed very talented.

If there is no Zhou Dongyu.

Luo Xun originally planned to retain the original Wang Luo Dan for this role, but since the investors wanted Zhou Dongyu to be cast, Luo Xun would definitely not take him back as long as it did not affect the effect. As a director, he must learn to compromise. , especially in such a hugely different situation. However, Luo Xun is not a compromise. There are also some characters, such as Duan Yihong, that investors tried to replace. Unfortunately, Luo Xun rejected them. He has already decided to replace them. The actors below do not allow others to interfere.

that's all.

After a few scenes were filmed, everyone gradually became familiar with Luo Xun's style. The filming of any film is inevitably bumpy at the beginning. As the crew gradually became familiar with each other, they gradually relaxed and the progress naturally improved. Moreover, In order to allow the actors to form a tacit understanding as much as possible, Luo Xun also read the script for three consecutive days before starting the filming. As a result, the script did not need to be changed, and everyone was indeed familiar with each other before.

…

The filming location chosen by Luo Xun is a port city in northern Jiangsu. It is close to the seaside, and the continuous rain will make it more atmospheric. There is a heavy rain scene in the movie. Luo Xun is quite looking forward to a heavy rain, especially when the weather forecast When he said that there would be such a rain, if it didn't rain, he would have no choice but to use artificial rain, but in this way, he always felt that the atmosphere was not interesting.

Except waiting for a heavy rain.

On the second day after filming started, Luo Xun still needed to shoot a green screen scene, which is a special effects shoot. Many people think that movies like "Scorching Sun" do not need special effects. In fact, although such movies do not have much demand for special effects, But some scenes would be very dangerous to shoot without the help of special effects, such as the chase scene on a high building——

The plot is very simple.

Yi Guchun and Xin Xiaofeng work together to catch criminals, so they have to run up and down the beams of high-rise buildings. If this thing falls, it will be shattered to pieces. Even if it is protected by coercion or the like, it is difficult to overcome the psychological fear, so Luo Xun This scene had to be shot with the help of special effects. In fact, many movies that shoot scenes on cliffs or high-rise buildings rely on special effects. Not many actors dare to do it for real, and Luo Xun doesn't advocate doing it for real. It's risky. Some are inevitable, but there are also some risks that must be avoided.

Put on makeup.

Luo Xun had scars on his face, his skin became dark, and his eyes were a little hazy. He and his co-star Duan Yihong began to chase the prisoner. As the director, after filming the scene himself, Luo Xun temporarily handed over the camera to the photographer.

"fall!"

In the middle of the chase, the assistant director on the side yelled, and then Duan Yihong's feet stopped and his body slid directly. Luo Xun quickly grabbed Duan Yihong's hand, with a green screen below. After the special effects were produced, It's a high-rise building with dozens of floors.

"Click."

After filming this part, Luo Xun shouted to stop, and then went to the camera to see the effect. He shook his head: "It's a little fake. Teacher Duan and we should be more nervous, and then your falling action can be more natural. There’s a sponge pad underneath the green screen, so it’ll be fine even if it falls.”

"OK."

Duan Yihong also knew that his performance just now was not good enough, so he smiled and said: "I was nervous subconsciously, but it's quite uncomfortable to fall like this. Director Luo must try his best to hold my hand."

"Don't worry."

Luo Xun's reaction is quite fast, which is trained by some action movies before. For example, if he doesn't react quickly enough and fails to dodge the set of moves in the hard-core fighting scenes, he may be hit by a punch or a kick. It really hurts, and the bruises and swellings are all over the body, which can easily affect the subsequent filming.

Tried again.

Luo Xun really grabbed Duan Yihong's hand. After filming this part, Luo Xun continued to watch the finished product. The result was still not satisfactory, so he pulled Duan Yihong to do it again. He is an actor and a director. He needs to use this attitude of leading by example and striving for excellence to tell the crew that I am a very strict director. I am not only ruthless to others, but also to myself. After all, it is not easy to pull and pull.

That's it.

After filming twelve scenes in a row, Luo Xun was finally satisfied with the effect. Perhaps the fatigue of the character was no longer performed but a real reflection of the body, so the effect was much better than before: "You have worked hard, take a rest."

Panting.

Luo Xun announced that the crew would take a temporary break. At the same time, he took the water and towel handed to him by Xiao Tao and watched the shots that had been shot. Being a director is a torturous job, and being an actor is also a torturous job. When the two kinds of pain are intertwined, it is a double torture.
