The next day, Wang Baoqiang asked Luo Xun for half a month's leave. Luo Xun readily agreed. The rest of the matter had nothing to do with him, and the filming was not too delayed. After all, Wang Baoqiang's role in this film was There isn’t much in the play.

The next shoot.

Focus on executing tasks.

Xin Xiaofeng is a cooperating police officer in the movie. The cooperating police officer naturally needs to handle cases, and the content to be filmed next is related to handling the case. This filming requires Xin Xiaofeng to go into the water to chase the prisoner. Of course, other people in the police team also need to go into the water, but Luo Xun The scene was the heaviest, because his feet would accidentally get caught on the underwater steel wire, and he would have to hold his breath for a long time. He would almost drown, and Duan Yihong would have to come and save him.

The shooting location has been chosen.

This is an underground reservoir. The water in the reservoir is not living water, but smelly underground water. The crew felt collective discomfort as soon as they arrived. Many people almost subconsciously covered their mouths and noses because the water quality here was too turbid and the air There was a stench in the water, and there were some rotten aquatic foam and even cigarette butts floating on the water...

"You're really picky about places."

As soon as Duan Yihong saw this place, he knew that today's scene would be difficult to shoot. It was even more difficult than the previous green screen shooting: "The water is too dirty. Director Luo had better ask everyone to cover their crotches when we go into the water. Otherwise, there are too many bacteria in the water, which can easily cause urethritis and other infections, and even cause skin ulcers.”

"This is a must!"

Huang Bo on the side said with lingering fear: "I've been through sewers before, and the environment was comparable to this smelly ditch. The next day after the filming, my skin was extremely itchy, and I needed to apply ointment for a long time before I recovered."

"Okay, do as you say."

Luo Xun ordered the crew to prepare protective equipment. In fact, it was not high-level protection. It was just wrapping the body with several layers of plastic wrap. Generally, the crew would prepare this to prevent actors from being harmed. Of course, Luo Xun himself did the same. The skin was protected with the help of the crew.

Not just actors.

The photographer is also armed.

However, compared to Luo Xun and other actors who need to act, the photographer only needs to wear a diving suit and be responsible for shooting underwater. Underwater shooting is not a very complicated operation in film and television shooting. Old photographers who have worked in this industry for more than several years are basically All very experienced.

"hey-hey."

Huang Bo was happy on the sidelines.

During the filming of "Crazy Stone", every time he drilled into the sewer and came out covered in mud, everyone would be overjoyed to see his disgraced look. But today Luo Xun is about to suffer a similar fate, which is quite a bit like the tides are turning. .

"Just have fun."

Luo Xun glared at him angrily, and then ordered all departments to prepare. When everyone was ready, as soon as the assistant director started shouting, a group of people rushed into the smelly water, while the two suspects tried their best to escape. ——

Luo Xun took the lead.

The resistance in the water was great. Although he struggled to move forward, he still couldn't move faster. It took him a long time to run three meters away. Then Luo Xun pretended to miss the mark and sank. Duan Yihong shouted anxiously: "Little rich!"

"Click."

The assistant director shouted stop, and Luo Xun, who was diving, immediately came out of the water. Not only did his nose feel uncomfortable, but he also had some water in his mouth, which was filled with a stinking smell. Xiao Tao immediately handed him a Bottle of water.

Luo Xun rinsed his mouth quickly.

After rinsing his mouth, the smell still lingered, and waves of nausea came to his mind. He lay down on the shore and started retching. The people around him quickly helped him breathe, and it took him a few minutes to recover. Overwhelmed: "It stinks!"

This was Luo Xun's first sentence.

Duan Yihong smiled bitterly and said: "It will be my turn in a moment, so I said that the crew really chose a Feng Shui location to shoot this scene. If you really can't afford it, you can just build a temporary set and shoot it with clean water."

"I can still stand it."

Luo Xun wouldn't back down from this hard work. Duan Yihong on the side saw that he persisted and stopped trying to persuade him. Of course, he also understood that the dirtier the water, the more real it seemed, so he himself didn't mind this kind of hard work.

Went ashore to look at the finished product.

Luo Xun frowned and said, "Your speed is too slow. Don't let me throw you too far away. Everyone should directly chase the two suspects. There is no need to chase too deep on Old Duan's side, because you will have to come down to rescue me later. Just let my men continue to chase. Camera No. 2 is adjusted to the pillar, as high as possible. I want a water chase scene with a long-range effect. Don’t deliberately make the water splash too big, just try to be realistic, otherwise this suffering will be in vain. ”

"clear."

Everyone nodded after hearing this.

After explaining the details, Luo Xun took a shower, changed his clothes, and blow-dried his hair. It looked like there were no traces of being in the water, so he arranged to start the shooting again. If he went into the water with wet hair, he would have to wear it. , this is also the troublesome part of this scene——

I have to blow dry every time.

Fortunately, everyone knew the troublesome aspects of this scene, so during the second shooting, everyone completed the shooting task without mistakes. After Luo Xun confirmed that there was no problem with the lens, he announced the shooting of the next scene.

Diving scene.

The photographer and several assistants wearing diving suits jumped into the water in advance with their equipment. After the lens was set up, Luo Xun and Duan Yihong got into the smelly water one after another. As a result, Duan Yihong realized what Luo Xun had just felt. If you have been in the water for more than a certain period of time, you can't help but put your head out to breathe. Only by constantly gargling can the taste in your mouth be slightly better. It takes three or five times in a row to get used to the taste.

"Come again."

The two looked at each other and began to dive officially. Luo Xun had learned swimming before, which is considered one of the professional skills that actors must learn, so as a person who can swim, Luo Xun had no problem diving.

But that's not all.

There is a limit to a person's physiological endurance. He needs to dive to 2.8 meters, so every time he sinks to the bottom, his eardrums are particularly uncomfortable. It feels like having ear inflammation. The dull pain is very obvious. This is caused by the impact of water pressure. The eardrum was damaged, not to mention that one of Luo Xun's feet was caught on a wire. The panic was not something that could be overcome easily.

Compared to Luo Xun.

Duan Yihong also felt uncomfortable.

He had to put his head down to help Luo Xun pull out his feet, and he even had to shoot at the wire. This process took a certain amount of time, so some expert swimmers on the side were ready in advance, ready to go down and pull the person up at any time.

"Gululu..."

A large number of bubbles came out of his mouth. Luo Xun had only been in the two or three meters of water for about twenty seconds, but it felt like the time had lasted as long as a century. At this time, he no longer cared about smells or bacteria. As long as he can take a normal breath, it will be fine, so his hands began to struggle desperately. At the same time, Duan Yihong was a little unable to hold on. Seeing this, the people around him quickly helped to fish the two out of the water.

"Hoo ho ho!"

Luo Xun and Duan Yihong didn't do anything or say anything after they landed ashore. They just gasped for air. After they regained some strength, they were able to get in front of the screen and watch the results of the shooting.

Failure is inevitable.

But taking a look at it this way can help the two accumulate experience for the next diving scene. For example, the scene at the last second is very interesting: "I rolled my eyes a little, my consciousness was a little blurry at the time."

"Yes."

The assistant director worriedly said: "Everyone was scared just now. How about we shoot this scene later and change the environment. Although the effect is not as good, it will be completed more easily and it will be easier for us to operate."

Luo Xun looked at Duan Yihong.

Duan Yihong said: "I'm free to do it."

Luo Xun smiled, shook his head and said, "Let's just finish the filming today. If there's no problem with Lao Duan, I'll be fine with it. Just pay attention to your protection. In fact, this shot only lasts for tens of seconds. Just hold on and it will pass." The rescuers, if I look back and roll my eyes, don't save me immediately, give Lao Duan a few seconds, if he can carry me ashore, that will be it."

"All right."

Seeing what Luo Xun said, the assistant director and others stopped trying to persuade him. There was no need to dry his body this time, because the previous scenes had been completed, and the first scene of the diving scene was shot underwater.

Take a deep breath.

Luo Xun and Duan Yihong entered the water again. This time Luo Xun deliberately controlled the rhythm of entering the water. He knew that it is not too difficult for adults to hold their breath for one minute. The time he lasted was short just because he was at the bottom of the water, so he was flustered. , which evolved into the final failure.

really.

Going into the water again, Luo Xun's performance was obviously better than the previous time. Duan Yihong also vaguely grasped the skills. Like Luo Xun, he persisted longer than last time. The total duration was about twenty-five seconds, but he was still far away from completing this shot. Photography still requires some experimentation.

that's all.

The two tried again and again, from twenty seconds the first time to twenty-five seconds the second time, to more than thirty seconds the third time, and it was not until the eighth dive that they finally persisted to fifty seconds. Ciluoxun reached the limit again and subconsciously rolled his eyes in the water.

People around him hesitated.

Of course it would be in time to save Luo Xun now, but Luo Xun said that Duan Yihong should be given some time. If Duan Yihong could get Luo Xun out of the water within a few seconds, the scene would be over, so the few of them looked at each other and decided to wait. wait.

"Don't save me yet..."

Luo Xun was almost unconscious, with large mouthfuls of water pouring into his abdominal cavity, but he could not speak and could only think in his head. Just when his consciousness was about to collapse, he suddenly felt the pressure around him decrease rapidly, and Duan Yihong fished him out. Coming!

"Ha ha……"

He tried hard to open his hazy eyes and breathed in the air almost greedily. The smell was already blended with his breath and was indistinguishable. Especially when the smell was full of oxygen, he almost enjoyed it. Breathing heavily.

I almost felt cold just now.

This group of people really strictly implemented their own requirements and told them not to save me immediately. In the end, they really made me suffocate and stay in the water for a long time. Luo Xun smiled bitterly in his heart, but he did not blame these people. Human means, because he can predict the effect just now and there must be no problem.

Rested for ten minutes.

Exhausted, Luo Xun sat up with the help of Xiao Tao. A pair of eyes looked over, some worried and some admiring. For a moment, Luo Xun felt a sense of accomplishment: "I'm fine, take a look." How about."

The assistant director nodded.

Several people gathered around to look at the scene just taken. It was obvious that Luo Xun was already dying in the water. He rolled his eyes and didn't know how much water he had drank. Duan Yihong's face was even more distorted, and countless bubbles were rising from his mouth. Within a few days, On the verge of collapse, Luo Xun was fished out of the water.

"It's realistic enough."

Xiao Tao said with red eyes, her tone full of complaints. Although this was not the first time that Luo Xun had worked so hard on a movie, she still felt frightened as Luo Xun's personal assistant: "I'll tell Sister Sui Sui when I get back. ”

"Don't complain."

Luo Xun hurriedly coaxed her, making everyone around him laugh. Although Luo Xun had the majesty of a director, it didn't mean that he was taking the air. Everyone on the crew knew that Luo Xun was very good to people, and he was even better with Xiao Tao as his assistant. Get along like friends.

"I was just thinking."

Duan Yihong, who was not much better than Luo Xun, said: "Our shot can be completely edited. It would be nice to shoot half of the underwater scene, and then shoot another scene out of the water..."

"That's what I said."

Of course Luo Xun has also thought of this method. This is how it was played in the original version, but as a director, he always likes to challenge high difficulties. The long shot of this scene can clearly tell the audience that the character was really on the verge of desperation at that time. , both visual and psychological impact are more powerful: "The audience may not expect so much, even in a short period of time, but their feelings when watching the movie are faster than their thoughts, and people who understand will know that our movie How difficult it was to complete the play.”

"yes."

Duan Yihong said with a smile.

His heart was also filled with a sense of accomplishment. Unexpectedly, he would work with Luo Xun again after not seeing each other for many years. The most intuitive shock was not from Luo Xun's acting skills, but from Luo Xun's desperate spirit.

Half an hour later.

After filming a few more scenes of going into the water to make sure that the scene was completely finished, Luo Xun finally led the crew out of the smelly reservoir. The first thing a group of people did when they went outside was to take a shower, especially a group of actors who had just gone into the water. I took off the nylon cling film wrapped around my body and applied soap all over my body, trying to wash away the lingering stench from my body.

"Thanks for your hard work."

After taking a shower, Luo Xun changed into clean clothes, and then chatted with the actors who had just entered the water. Suddenly, he saw Huang Bo running over dripping wet: "Is there any water? Is there any water? I also Go for a rush.”

"What's wrong with you?"

Duan Yihong was overjoyed.

Huang Bo said with a depressed look on his face: "When I first came out, some turtle tripped me and I fell into the water. The smell is so similar to the smell of sewers. It's just as disgusting."

As he spoke, he retched.

For a moment, the entire crew burst into laughter, and the atmosphere was extremely joyful. Even Luo Xun laughed. This guy was gloating about his misfortune before. It seemed that this cycle of change was not over yet.
