Peninsula Asteroid

Just as Chi Jingyuan's experience told him, the first few scenes of most TV dramas are difficult to shoot. In the morning, he watched with some schadenfreude as Pei Suzy was beaten hundreds of times before she finally got into some shape. The result was It was his turn at noon.

"This was a war that was almost impossible to win, but in the end we won under the fearless fighting and leadership of General Jin Qian. Therefore, this scene should reflect the heroism, strength, danger and exhaustion of the hero."

"...This is the beginning of the whole play. It is an important part that determines whether it can catch the audience's attention. For this opening, the crew strives for excellence in both action design and costumes and props, and the most important thing in this opening is this A long shot..."

The originally deserted wasteland in the southern suburbs was now extremely lively. A dozen large and small cars were scattered around, and dozens or hundreds of staff were busy arranging the venue and various props in the middle. Their large movements brought up sand and dust that made the surrounding air look a bit hazy.

The clouds were thick, and although the sun did not appear, the high temperature was still lingering around. Just walking to this station still felt a bit hot.

Among this busy crowd, Li Yingfu pulled Chi Jingyuan, who had changed into a black ancient gown, and kept gesticulating with his hands, telling him about this very important scene.

Chi Jingyuan listened carefully and nodded to show that he understood. Li Yingfu patted his shoulder with satisfaction: "Let's practice first."

After filming Bae Suzy's first scene in the morning, the entire crew was divided into two. One side was led by the assistant director to continue filming her scene, while the other side was led by Li Yingfu and came directly here to start filming the pool. Jingyuan’s important first shot.

This scene is the first scene in the entire "Goblin". It tells the story of Jin Qian, played by Chi Jingyuan, who was an ancient general who led his soldiers to be invincible on the battlefield before he became a ghost. It starts with a tragic war scene. To highlight the cruelty of the battlefield and the image of the protagonist, it uses sophisticated production and professional long shots to show the excellence of the drama "Goblin" at the beginning.

And this is not a scene that can be filmed casually. All the movements of Chi Jingyuan alone, every slashing posture, and even various handsome turns and jump chops are specially designed and require a lot of practice. Just supporting the scene There were hundreds of extras playing soldiers, especially the long shot. Several cameras followed the whole process. There were at least six or seven supporting soldiers who acted as rivals in the middle. If there was any problem in the middle, NG would have to start over.

It doesn't matter if you spend the whole morning like Pei Xiuzhi, it's just two or three actors in a small house anyway. Chi Jingyuan's first scene was surprisingly difficult.

To be honest, he was actually quite stressed...especially after installing the props.

"So heavy?"

Chi Jingyuan raised a two-handed sword specially made for this scene. He put his hand on the hilt of the sword and was almost shaken by the force of the sinking force as soon as he raised it. He quickly held the hilt of the sword with both hands, surprised. looked at the prop master next to him.

"In order to achieve a realistic shooting effect, Jin Qian's two-handed swords are all specially made. Although they do not have sharp edges, they are solid in terms of weight."

"Okay...it's not too heavy."

Hearing what the prop master said, Chi Jingyuan blinked. He grasped the hilt of the sword with both hands and used strength to pick up the sword and weigh it twice. His smile was a little forced, but he still blinked optimistically.

After a little preparation, after everyone was in place, Chi Jingyuan followed the action guide and started practicing the action process of this section.

"Hold the sword tightly with both hands, and make a horizontal slash first..."

He watched with concentration the action director Kim Jae-sung next to him, who was wearing a black gown similar to his own and holding a long sword, demonstrating in person. Chi Jingyuan also imitated it very seriously.

"Then he turned around and slashed the enemy's neck with his sword..."

As Chi Jingyuan imitated his movements, he turned around handsomely and slashed Jianxu on the neck of the supporting actor, who also vividly covered his neck and stepped away.

"Don't turn like this..." Jin Zaicheng corrected himself after watching Chi Jingyuan's movements. After demonstrating it himself, he said seriously: "If you are wearing prop armor, you will easily lose your center of gravity when turning like that. You don't need to do that much. Big...then hold the sword more firmly."

Chi Jingyuan nodded, indicating that he understood, and then moved his shoulders without leaving any trace. The actor who had just retreated came over again and started again.

"OK, this time it's good..."

"This time I stabbed it in directly..."

The next supporting actor rushed up, but Chi Jingyuan stabbed him straight through the waist. His body froze, twitched twice and retreated.

With just one teacher, one student, and a group of supporting extras, Chi Jingyuan concentrated on practicing all his movements and processes in this opening scene, especially the long-shot martial arts movements that were learned over and over again.

The sultry air was brewing all over the body, and the rising dust was swirling around. The wild grass, tents and military flags in the distance were rustling in the hot wind.

I had just finished lunch when I came here. I was practicing and I didn’t know when the sky turned dark.

"how do you feel?"

After finally waiting for the break, Park Jae-hyun quickly handed over a bottle of mineral water, and then held a small electric fan and blew it on Chi Jingyuan while the assistant next to him quickly wiped his sweat with a towel.

"Everything else is pretty good, and the moves are not difficult to learn..."

Chi Jingyuan drank half a bottle of water and took a deep breath after putting it down. After wiping it with a wet towel, most of the sweat and dust on his face disappeared, and he suddenly felt a pleasant cooling sensation.

It's just that when he twisted the mineral water bottle cap back, his hands were shaking slightly: "It's just... this sword is really too heavy."

As the prop master said, for the sake of realism, Chi Jingyuan's special two-handed long sword prop is very heavy. Although it is not as uncompromising as the pure iron one, even his physical strength can't stand it after wielding it for an afternoon. , my hands and shoulders have long been sore. Coupled with the stuffy and hot weather, I feel a little exhausted at this time...

He had complained about Bae Suzy being beaten hundreds of times in the morning, but even before filming officially started, he had already suffered several times more than others.

But...Chi Jingyuan actually didn't complain about anything. On the contrary, he even enjoyed it a little.

"Hmm..." He moved his shoulders and neck, feeling the tingling sensation. Thinking of the various sword dances in the afternoon, he clicked his tongue and laughed: "Not to mention, it's really interesting. .”

This is the first time he has filmed such a war scene with cold weapons. The powerful and heavy sword dance movements designed one by one are both handsome and realistic. The supporting actors are also very dedicated, even if they are just practicing. In the scene, the movements are different every time he dies. Sometimes he has to twitch twice, spin in a circle and die again.

There was no expression on his face, his shoulders and hands were so sore, but he was holding back a smile in his heart...

It's really a new experience.

I am indeed a little tired...but isn't that what an actor's job is?

It was completely dark after dinner, but it had no effect on Chi Jingyuan. With the help of the light, he immediately started practicing with the martial arts instructor and actors again.

In order to open Jin Qian's war scene, half of the crew has to stay in this desolate wilderness these days. This afternoon, the director has been filming the surrounding scenery and some war scenes of the supporting actors. Tomorrow, they will Filming of Chi Jingyuan’s scene and that important long shot officially started.

Therefore, there is not much time left for Chi Jingyuan to practice. The progress of this scene depends entirely on whether his filming goes smoothly.

The moonlight shrouded the sky and the night was pitch black.

"Jingyuan, why don't you take a rest first."

It was dark at night, but Chi Jingyuan was still rehearsing the long-shot action. Park Jae-hyun watched for a while, and couldn't help but walked over and persuaded: "The crew has been filming here for several days, and some of the actions are still there. There are professional stuntmen, if you don't rush for a while, it will be the same if you practice again tomorrow."

"What did you say, brother?"

Chi Jingyuan turned around, and the two-handed sword in his hand cut a shining circle in the air handsomely, and then connected with a thrust without stopping, without stopping, but he gasped and said: "This time In fact, the victory of the war was very thrilling. I tried my best and almost died. Therefore, in addition to the action, the emotion of this scene must also have the feeling of being in a desperate situation, every sword, every expression. You have to have that feeling of trying your best and giving everything you have..."

His chest rose and fell, and while he was panting, he felt inexplicably proud: "I've almost found that feeling..."

As he spoke, he slashed the air with his sword again, and raised his brows as he thought of something: "Besides, I don't have much time to practice. If I keep making mistakes when shooting long shots tomorrow, how shameless would I be? I'm the leading actor." , how can you be as NG as that woman Bae Xiuzhi? She doesn’t mind annoying others but also annoys others..."

"..."

After looking at the figure practicing sword dancing under the moonlight for a while, Park Jae-hyun, the manager, also smiled softly, shrugged and said no more.

In fact, he also wanted to remind Chi Jingyuan that your phone vibrated several times just now...

But looking at his current appearance, it’s better to forget it.

…………

"How about it?"

After being surrounded by several assistants and cody for a long time, Chi Jingyuan finally got out of the vanity van after packing up, shook his shoulders, savored the strange feeling of wearing armor, and asked Li Yingfu as if seeking approval. .

Today he will officially start filming his first scene, and naturally he will be wearing a full set of scenes - the silver and iron armor of General Jin Qian.

This specially made iron armor feels heavy when worn on the body. The iron elbow armor and greaves are shining with silver. The breastplate is densely engraved with knot-like patterns, and there is a mysterious pattern of unknown meaning in the center of the chest. .

At the same time, in order to comply with the ancient custom of long hair, a wig was also put on. The thick long hair was extended straight down, tied in a knot on the head, and fixed with a black jade hair crown. In order to match the war scene, the face was also He was painted with war damage makeup... it was real war damage makeup, using various cosmetics to make dust and blood stains. His face was black and red, and there was a deep stab wound on his cheek.

This was also his first time filming a costume scene. When he saw the props, he thought they were very exquisite, but he didn't know what they would look like on his body.

“Very good, this is the taste!”

Li Yingfu looked at Chi Jingyuan in the costume with satisfaction, clapped his hands and nodded: "It looks exactly like the Jin Qian we imagined, and the makeup is also very good. Jingyuan, you play the role of a general, and you have some weak points. Cover it up too."

"That's okay." Chi Jingyuan imitated General Jin Qian and nodded seriously.

But in fact, he felt itchy on his face, especially his nose, but he was reluctant to scratch it directly for fear of smearing the makeup he had just applied.

A little uncomfortable.

The next step is to officially start Chi Jingyuan's first scene. After a difficult adjustment and a morning of shooting, some fragmentary shots of this war scene were successfully shot. Next comes the most important part. That long shot.

"Action!"

Following the PD's order, hundreds of extras playing soldiers roared with props and started fighting each other. Chi Jingyuan, also wearing armor, followed the moves he had practiced countless times yesterday, waving his hands among the extras. The giant sword began to move in and out seven times.

"kill!"

The official start of shooting is still different from practice. The tension and pressure are completely different. Yesterday, some of the moves that were restrained due to fear of injury can no longer be modest. Even those extras are much more real.

Even though Chi Jingyuan had been practicing all night almost since yesterday and basically didn't get much rest at night. He knew the series of actions in this section by heart, but the shooting of this long lens was still not smooth.

"CUT, reset, start again."

"NG!"

"Come again."

Although Chi Jingyuan doesn't like NG, this is something he can control.

This is a good shooting process that requires the cooperation of all aspects, including lenses, backgrounds, actors, and even lighting, etc., as well as the most important lead actor Chi Jingyuan's actions and emotions. If there is any problem, it must be repeated. .

He can only do his best...although he actually made a lot of mistakes.

This shot... was really difficult.

"CUT!"

"OK! Get ready to take a break!"

A simple shot started shooting before noon, and it was not until late afternoon that the director was finally satisfied. After hearing the word "OK", all the actors, including Chi Jingyuan, breathed a sigh of relief. Chi Jingyuan The two-handed sword in Yuan's hand almost fell to the ground.

However, looking at the wind and sand around him and the countless dense footprints he had left on the sand behind him in a day, he couldn't help but feel a different sense of accomplishment.

...But this feeling of pride did not last for a minute, and he hurried back to the car to change clothes.

Today's weather was stuffy and hot. At this time, his whole body was already soaked with sweat. The original sense of novelty had long since disappeared. If it weren't for filming, he wouldn't want to wear this armor for a minute again. .

When Chi Jingyuan took off his armor and walked out of the car wearing only a stand-in vest, he was stopped by a VJ carrying a camera within a few steps.

"Jing Yuanxi, can you accept an interview?" the VJ asked. This is the VJ who specializes in filming behind-the-scenes videos.

"OK!"

Chi Jingyuan smiled at the camera and made a gesture. He especially likes the word 'OK' now.
