Chapter 94 First Filming
Chapter 94 First time filming
Author: Lost Dragon
With that said, Pei Yuanyang handed the two pages of the script to Zou Wenhuan.
Lu Bang's outstretched hand fell empty, and he looked at the Director of Publicity and Development without knowing why.
Zou Wenhuan is worthy of being Boss Pei Liu's number one confidant. He smiled and said: "After all, this is a student's work. It needs to be archived. I will make a copy for you."
Well, I’ll make two copies later, one for Director Lu and one for archiving!
The manuscript, of course, has to be handed over to the boss for safekeeping.
Zou Wenhuan was also a penman, and he could copy very quickly, so his handwriting was naturally not flattering.
Hundreds of people are waiting to start work. Every extra second of delay is disrespectful to the boss's wallet!
Lu Bang, who got the script again, also made up his mind. If the boss said to shoot it this way, then he would shoot it this way!
He hesitated before because the two pages of the script were brilliant, but they didn't fit in with the established style of the play.
The overall tone of this "Alibaba and the Forty Thieves" is a fantasy movie that is more serious drama, but these two pages of the script follow the path of a light comedy.
It's like a man wearing a black suit with a fragrant peony flower embroidered on the hem of the suit.
Or maybe a table of light Huaiyang dishes is set up, and a plate of spicy mapo tofu with red oil is served!
It would be a bit suspicious of usurping the host.
Now that we can win the title, we can see how exciting these two pages of script are!
When Lu Bang watched it for the first time, he concluded that this scene would definitely become the most outstanding part of the film, even more so than the ending of the film in which all the forty thieves were punished.
This is also Lu Bang’s dilemma: of course the exciting scenes are good, but the problem is that they are so exciting that they make the rest of the film seem bland!
Fortunately, the boss made the decision for him!
Everyone is in their places. According to the previous script, the thin Aragorn will appear for the first time when the bandit leader dispatches a mission.
Now according to Song Huanxi's revised version, Aragorn will be the first to discover traces of outsiders, thus clearly showing his cleverness.
With the sound of action, filming officially started.
The forty thieves were wearing uniform black robes, standing darkly behind the leader. The leader opened the door with a low voice, and the stone door slowly opened.
Forty bandits entered the cave one after another, and the thin Aragorn walked at the end. Unlike the other companions, he entered the cave backwards!
And while looking around cautiously, he walked backwards into the cave!
After entering the cave, the door slowly closed, and Aragorn turned around.
Next, there is a close-up of the black boots on his feet.
One step, two steps, and on the third step, Aragon's right foot was lifted up as soon as he stepped on it. He bent down and picked up a white pearl from the sand he stepped on. He put the pearl away doubtfully.
Raised in front of eyes——
At the same time, the roar of the bandit leader came from the front: "Someone has come in! He stole our treasure!"
"Card!"
Lu Bang was very satisfied. It was really worry-free to be able to shoot a large scene of forty people in one shot.
We also briefly filmed the scene of Aragorn coming out of the queue and accepting the leader's mission.
Next, there is a famous scene in Song Huanxi's two-page script.
In the original script, Aragorn's performance was very simple. Alibaba's brother Cassin once again entered the cave, took away a large amount of treasure, got out of the jar, and tracked him all the way to Cassin's home.
After Song Huanxi reformed, Cassin was discovered as soon as he entered the cave, and Aragorn began to play with Cassin.
For the first time, when Cassin was immersed in putting jewelry into the big cloth bag he brought, Aragorn quietly stretched out his hand, holding a scimitar in his hand, and quietly made a big gash at the bottom of the bag.
When Cassin stood up and lifted the bag, the jewelry spilled onto the floor.
He was confused, scratched his head, and cursed his stupid wife.
Cassin thought for a moment, took off his robe, spread it on the ground, and began to put jewelry in the middle of the robe.
Soon, a hill was piled up on the robe. At this time, Aragorn appeared again and raised his foot. Cassin fell to the ground.
He also realized something was wrong. After getting up, he looked around and looked at the black oil tank.
However, Aragorn had already climbed out of the oil tank and was hanging upside down on the top of the cave. He watched Cassin cautiously walk towards the oil tank. When he reached out to lift the lid of the oil lamp and poked his head into the oil tank, he reached out and patted it.
Pat Cassin on the shoulder.
Cassin reached out and brushed his shoulder: "Don't make trouble."
Aragorn reached out and patted it again. Cassin finally realized something. He turned around slowly. The two of them stared at each other. After a moment, Cassin held his chin in his hands and screamed!
Aragorn tilted his head and stared at him for a moment, imitating his actions - he also held his chin in his hands and screamed!
Cassin was completely panicked and rushed forward in a panic. Halfway through the rush, he turned around and grabbed his robe. Holding the robe and scattering countless jewels along the way, he rushed out of the cave.
…
Song Huanxi soon discovered that the plots that he found interesting when he wrote them were all pitfalls he dug for himself during filming!
For example, in the first scene, she has to stretch out her hand from the jar to cut the cloth bag on the ground. She must hold the lid above her head with one hand, and there is an oil lamp in the lid!
Fortunately, she often served noodles, so she simply used the oil lamp as a bowl of noodles and quickly adapted to this action.
But when she stretched out her hand, she discovered another problem: she was small, her arms were straight, and the tip of the knife could not reach the bag.
In the end, Hu Jinqiu found a large scimitar and cut it into two shots before it was completed.
It got stuck at least ten times!
Song Huanxi originally thought that the second plot was much simpler, after all, all she had to do was kick people.
It turned out that she was inexperienced and didn't know that kicking someone only required a show of force and the person being kicked would fall forward.
She kicked it down a little harder -
Then it gets awkward...
The actor landed on his face, turned his head, his nose was slightly red, and his eyes were filled with pain. However, because Song Huanxi was a girl and a newcomer, it was difficult for him to complain verbally, so he rubbed his face and buttocks, tears streaming down his face.
Look at her.
Song Huanxi was at a loss. For a moment, she felt that she was the best scumbag in the world.
There was already loud laughter all around.
In the end, Boss Six came forward and personally wrapped a small red envelope for the actor.
When Pei Yuanyang came back, he patted her on the shoulder. Song Huanxi clearly felt that he was suppressing a smile: "Don't be so vigorous next time. I don't have that much money to always give out red envelopes!"
Song Huanxi: "..."
Don’t the landlords have much food left?
Sure enough, she was right to insist on submitting articles to Rongchang!
The third game was the most difficult. A rope was tied around her waist, and her hands and feet were stuck on the roof of the cave. If it hadn't been for the arm strength she had developed from facing each other all the time, she wouldn't have been able to hold on for a few seconds.
Fortunately, this is an independent shot and can be taken in one shot.
Song Huanxi firmly remembered this lesson: in the future, when writing scripts, she will never write such laborious plots!
Well, if you have to write it, let someone else act it!
Chapter completed!
