They were all so into the drama!

As soon as the Gregorian New Year's Day is over, it means that the Lunar New Year is not long away.

In the hearts of Chinese people, the status of the Lunar New Year is unmatched by other festivals. Generally, people who work abroad have to go back to celebrate the New Year, and even the group performances in Hengdian are no exception.

Therefore, to avoid not having enough actors for the big scenes later on, the producers planned to shoot this part of the scene in advance.

It is said that when filming "Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties", there were not many extras due to the epidemic, resulting in many big scenes not being filmed, which became the producer's heartache and biggest regret.

In order to make up for the regrets of the past, the production company of "The Legend of Xue Rengui" even allocated a part of the funds to prepare to shoot these scenes.

Early in the morning, when Huo Mingjie came to the crew, he saw that the crew was extremely busy today.

On the huge set, stood a densely packed group of performers. It was roughly estimated that there were thousands of people, and even hundreds of war horses.

The entire crew had to constantly maintain order, communicate during filming, and distribute costumes. They were almost crazy busy.

"Wow, there are so many extras today!" Gan Tingtiao said in shock.

Zhao Huixia and Qi Zhengbing, who had been with Huo Mingjie for so long and thought they had seen the world, nodded repeatedly and exclaimed:

"The crew really saved money by hiring so many extras..."

"This scene is really big, and I don't know how much money it cost."

Among these three people, Gan Tingting especially has not had much scenes today. I came here with Huo Mingjie because I knew what happened today in advance, so I came here specifically to see what happened.

There have always been bigger filming scenes than this in the industry, but they are usually the kind of movies that require huge investment and require meticulous craftsmanship to use so many people and have such a grand spectacle.

If it were just a TV series, it would indeed rarely appear...

Huo Mingjie looked at the messy set over there and the crew who were almost crazy busy, but he shook his head slightly and said:

"This is actually a stupid approach and wastes too much material and manpower."

It involved more than a thousand people shooting up and down, which was no easy task!

If Huo Mingjie had to choose, he would rather shoot with only two to three hundred people and then use post-production special effects.

Of course, then again, this should also be because today’s cheap post-production companies are not effective, and powerful foreign companies are expensive.

After weighing the pros and cons, people may find that the stupid way is more economical...

Huo Mingjie arranged for the three of them to be on the crew's side, and then gave a few instructions to pay attention to safety, while he ran to put on makeup and change clothes.

Today's big scene is about Huo Mingjie's scenes after joining the army.

In the plot, Zhang Shigui, the general vanguard of the Tang Army, deliberately threatened Xue Rengui so that his son-in-law could take over Xue Rengui's identity as "Ying Meng Xianchen", so that he could only join the army under a pseudonym.

Emperor Tang and Duke Xu Maogong deliberately searched for and deliberately embarrassed Zhang Shigui. They took the opportunity to find out Xue Rengui's location and ordered him to be responsible for setting up the Dragon Gate Formation.

Under Zhang Shigui's coax, Xue Rengui set up this formation to practice.

This is the first plot!

After that, the "Dragon Gate Formation" appeared for the second time in the play.

Later in the plot, Xue Rengui provoked the Bo Liao general Tie Shiwen into the battle, and then killed him in one fell swoop, completely quelling the Bo Liao rebellion.

The time between these two plots is not short, almost five or six years in the play. But when shooting, no matter from any angle, they are all shot together!

Huo Mingjie wears several costumes in the play. Today's scene of leading the army is in a silver and white robe and armor.

This armor is actually quite ordinary. Apart from the fact that the armor pieces are silver and there is a white cape behind it, it is not much different from the armors of other soldiers.

From Huo Mingjie's personal point of view, he is far less beautiful than the dark gold beast-swallowing armor that Xue Rengui wore after he became the king.

But combined with the plot settings in the play, it can be considered to agree with Xue Rengui's status as a junior general in the army.

When Huo Mingjie put on his clothes and walked out, even though the crew's studio was in a mess today, he still couldn't help but attract the attention and attention of everyone present.

The figure is tall and straight, and the handsome and perfect face has more perseverance and determination than before.

The white cloak fell behind him, flowing like clouds as he stepped forward.

This set of silver armor, which was not very delicate, immediately became sharper when he was wearing it, even giving off an aura of coldness and solidity.

Anyone who sees Huo Mingjie, who has a heroic and high-spirited temperament at this time, can't help but be in a trance. They just feel that a young general in the ancient army is really standing in front of them.

The first plot of practicing the Longmen Formation, if viewed in a TV series, is naturally the highlight moment of "Xue Rengui" played by Huo Mingjie showing off his showmanship.

But when it came to actual filming, Huo Mingjie himself didn't have too many shots.

He only needs to stand on the general platform, throw the flag to his brothers in the Huotou Army, and then wave the flag from the general platform and dispatch the troops. The huge Dragon Gate Formation will move under his command.

Just looking at this paragraph, I don’t really feel anything.

But if you look at it in the drama, no one in the Tang Dynasty, from the marshal of the army, Wei Chigong, to the generals in the army, understood such formations.

Zhang Shigui, who received the imperial edict, went everywhere to seek help but found no way, and he was so anxious that he was like an ant on the hot pot.

But at this time, Xue Rengui said lightly that he had some understanding of the formation, and then led thousands of troops to set up the formation, shocking everyone...

It can only be said that this drama adapted from "Xue Rengui's Conquest of the East", although it is a drama that has no brains to highlight Taizong Li Shimin and a group of famous generals in the early Tang Dynasty in order to highlight the protagonist, but it is really in place to make the audience happy. !

Marriage is blocked, pretending to be cool, passers-by are shocked, slaps in the face, success and fame...all kinds of cool writing routines are included, and the pace is so fast. How can you let the audience in front of the TV tolerate this?

Audiences love to watch it, so it’s no surprise that the ratings are high!

In fact, Huo Mingjie's scenes were all easy to shoot, but the most difficult thing for the crew was how to coordinate and schedule the extra actors.

There are nearly 2,000 extras here, and they have to line up on the filming set and change their formations according to the schedule.

This was a slightly poorly planned situation, but it was a complete mess and was too miserable to look at.

Even for this scene, the crew was gritting their teeth and preparing to slowly grind it out. No matter how much it cost, they would film this big scene.

But contrary to everyone's expectations, the filming of this big scene, which they planned to spend seven or eight days on, went extremely smoothly...
