The next day, Liu Shishi left with a rosy complexion, and Li Qi returned to the filming of”The Legend of the New White Snake”

In everyone’s opinion, the shooting effect and progress are quite good.

At this moment, on the monitor, a young couple was talking to each other, and they were very affectionate. Behind the monitor, Ning Hao took the place of Li Qi in the director’s chair, holding his chin with one hand, nodding slightly while watching, with a satisfied look on his face.

Behind Ning Hao, many actors in the crew looked very excited. If they were not filming, they would have applauded.

In front of the camera, the young couple smiled and appreciated the painting.

This painting was the one Xu Xian drew for Bai Suzhen when he was missing her.

Xu Xian kept shaking his head and praising her. Bai Suzhen was both happy and shy, with a smile on her face.

Because this plot was planned to insert a song, so when he felt that the length was about 12 seconds, Ning Hao decisively shouted:”Cut! Passed!”

The extremely quiet set suddenly became noisy.

The camera stopped, and the first thing all the staff did was to wipe their sweat off their hands.

The two production managers of the crew had been waiting outside the door for a long time. When they heard the shout of”click!” from inside, they immediately ran in with two electric fans, dragging long electric cords, and placed them in front of the male and female protagonists respectively, turning on the fans. Gao Yuanyuan and Li Qi also breathed a sigh of relief and blew hard at the fans.

To be honest, the weather in Beijing at the end of August is already a bit chilly in the morning and evening, but during the day, especially at noon, the temperature is still high. What’s more, everyone else is wearing short-sleeved shirts and shorts, but the actors have to wear ancient costumes, wrapping themselves up tightly. Why is that?

It’s such a long shot, and it’s pretty good that the two of them managed to hold on without sweat on their foreheads.

After shouting”Cut”, Ning Hao also stood up and walked over. The assistant director was like a little follower, of course, following him closely.

Li Qi and Gao Yuanyuan were enjoying the fans while they slightly raised their heads and asked the makeup artist to touch up their makeup. At the same time, they had to talk to Gao Yuanyuan. Fortunately, all Li Qi said was praise.

After encouraging his co-stars, Li Qi clapped his hands and waited until the scene quieted down. He then said,”Everyone, pay attention. Let’s try to get this next shot through in one take. Once we get through, the crew will take a 20-minute break and we’ll eat watermelon!””

Upon hearing this, many staff members at the scene immediately agreed.

Filming in such weather, taking a break to eat a watermelon every two or three hours is really a great enjoyment. Although for the crew, it is just sending someone to drive to the nearby Huairou District, and the watermelon is not worth much, but with these ten or twenty watermelons every day, the atmosphere of the crew has been quite good since the start of filming.

This deal is a good deal.

Gao Yuanyuan was left to memorize her lines and build up her emotions. Li Qi walked behind the monitor, opened the water cup, and drank two sips of boiled water. He couldn’t help but adjust the previous shot again. He watched the three monitors from different angles, trying to figure out the direction of the editing. He turned his head and saw Ning Hao. He smiled and said,”Brother Hao, it won’t affect the post-production of Crazy Stone if I pull you over to be my assistant, right?”

Ning Hao said in a normal tone,”It doesn’t have much of an impact! I am actually the director who coordinates the whiteboard in the end. I let the people below do most of the work. Otherwise, it would be strange if the director is not exhausted!”

Li Qi thought about it after hearing this, held his chin, nodded after a moment, and said seriously:”That’s right!”

Most of the indoor scenes of the Legend of White Snake were filmed at Huairou Film and Television City. It is estimated that the entire crew will stay here for more than two months just to shoot.

From the end of August to the beginning of November

After finishing the filming at Huairou Film and Television City, the crew will move to Zhejiang Province, first to the West Lake in Hangzhou to take some exterior shots, and second to a film and television city in Jinhua, Zhejiang Province to continue filming some street scenes and some street action scenes. (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

After that, most of the crew members were able to leave. Only a few actors were left to follow the crew to Chengdu and other places to shoot some outdoor scenes. The shooting phase of the entire play was completely over.

In fact, before the crew officially started filming, Ning Hao had already taken the camera crew to the Song Dynasty Film and Television City in Kaifeng, where they took a lot of empty shots of related residential buildings. When the time came to edit them in, it was just right to give full play to the style of the Song Dynasty.

The crew officially started filming at the end of August. There were some bumps in the road at first, with the actors and roles failing to fully meet the director’s expectations, so we naturally had to continue to adjust, filming and finding the feeling. By September, the entire crew had gradually completed the adjustment, and the rhythm of filming gradually began to be found.

Moreover, with the addition of more and more supporting actors, the entire crew seems to be much stronger and happier.

The image of Mr. Yu Hai, a bald monk with white beard and eyebrows, and his majestic and wise look when his eyes are slightly narrowed, amazed all the actors in the Legend of White Snake crew.[]

The quarrels between Li Gongfu and Xu Jiaorong, played by veteran actors Liu Yijun and Zhang Yan, and their banter during filming and their teasing with each other during their free time also kept the atmosphere of the entire crew tense.

In a nutshell, as the filming progressed, the crew’s activities became more and more relaxed.

You know, it takes three to three and a half months to shoot this drama. So many people have to work together all day for such a long time. If the atmosphere on the crew is not good, it will be difficult to do this job well.

And obviously, once again, Li Qi showed his experienced side as a rookie. Ning Hao didn’t notice it at first, but as the filming went on day after day, he, the director of photography and Li Qi’s assistant, became more and more immersed in it. When he suddenly woke up, he found that Li Qi had quietly mobilized this huge crew.

The atmosphere on the crew was relaxed and tense, and the staff and actors were in good spirits, so the filming progress was naturally fast, and it was much faster than expected!

So, before I knew it, time was passing by quickly.
