Director’s Legend

No one can live in the summer in the desert. After a few days of shooting, Shao Shuaijun felt that he was dark. Zhouxun's scenes have all ended, and she, who was afraid of being tanned, left on the night when this part of the scene ended. Now, there is only one long-term scene of a camp attack and the crew can move.

"Everyone has worked hard. We will leave Shapotou for another two or three days! Go into the city and blow on the air conditioner!" Shao Shuaijun wrapped his head in a long towel for sun protection, while shaking the fan. It was getting late, and the weather was finally not so hot, and I could resist it. Fortunately, this scene was filmed at night, otherwise it would really kill people.

"Attention all units, start shooting in ten minutes!" Gao Yang shouted back and forth with a loud speaker.

On the two booms, Huang Yuetai and Huang Jiahui are debugging cameras, among which Huang Yuetai’s camera is the Panavision. All prospects will be taken care of by this camera.

"Lao Huang, you push the camera around, let me see the effect." Holding the intercom, Shao Shuaijun sat in the tent and began to greet. Several deputy directors were all called out to arrange work. Only he is now wagging Erlang's legs happily, and only needs to go through a few monitors to master the whole situation.

This feeling is not seen in other movies. The crew on this side of the desert has as many as three or four hundred people, which is more than twice the crew of the entire crew of "Crazy Stone" that year. This does not include the crew who is previewing in Hengdian. If the director of a work is a war, Shao Shuaijun feels that he is the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Army.

Don't feel too good!

When everything was ready, the night attack finally arrived. The lights flickered, the torches were bright, and the 200-man Wang Jiajun rushed in from the village gate and began to kill. The props here have been polished by the prop master, and various institutions are hidden. The actors perform hard, and the prop master manipulates the props by listening to slogans.

The whole scene is extremely hot.

Through the monitor, Shao Shuaijun saw the picture, really like an ancient war, where weapons and blood are intertwined. Although it is only a rough scene, there are still many modifications that need to be completed in post-production, but the spirit of the revealed is exactly what Shao Shuaijun pursues.

A scene that was held for more than half a month ignited and detonated at this moment.

The crashing battle, mixed with the slogan of the big horn, made the actors very excited, and it seemed that they were really fighting among the thousands.

Ten minutes later, Shao Shuaijun got up from his seat and shouted out loud on the walkie-talkie: "Card! Perfect!"

The shot lasted only ten minutes. After the end, the actors did not cheer, all lying on the ground tired, gasping for breath. This scene is too exhausting. Under Shao Shuaijun's request for excellence, he not only had to fist to the flesh, but also cooperate with various props. A mistake by an actor would cause a chain reaction. The spirit of all people must be highly tense and meticulous to complete.

"I have been producing movies for many years. It is the first time I have seen you in a panoramic simulation of shooting battle scenes like Xiao Shao." Qian Yongqiang walked in, watched the replayed closed-circuit television, sighed, "In Hong Kong, the biggest scene There are also a few people fighting, up to a dozen, and ten people later combined into a thousand people. It looks uncoordinated and lacks realism, but it still makes us very satisfied. After this play, I guess I will look back again. I would jump into the sea in shame, Hong Kong is too small."

"Although Hong Kong is small, it is proud to have developed the Hollywood of the East. However, in the coming era, major productions will dominate the film market. Hong Kong must accelerate the sharing of resources with the Mainland to rejuvenate. The Mainland has a great river and mountains with more than one billion viewers. These are endless treasures. The experience accumulated in Hong Kong’s decades of film prosperity is a gold-digging machine. Our cooperation will continue to exchange wealth."

Shao Shuaijun said with emotion that he didn't like Hong Kong filmmakers very much before, because Hong Kong filmmakers were too arrogant and looked down upon mainland filmmakers. For example, the last time Shao Shuaijun wanted to shoot "Source Code", there were many directors who mocked. However, it is undeniable that Hong Kong filmmakers must lead the mainland in terms of experience, and lead the mainland in terms of professionalism.

Hong Kong has a small territory and fierce competition. The mainland entertainment industry is just emerging. There is no perfect system. The two sides complement each other, which is the way out for Chinese movies in the future.

The last scene ended, and the days in Shapotou were over.

At the Phoenix City Hotel, Shao Shuaijun took the money from the crew to entertain all the employees.

After eating and drinking, Shao Shuaijun was taken to the balcony by Mr. Xu Jinwei, a consultant.

"Your crew is leaving tomorrow?"

"Yes, it was originally planned for half a month here, but now it has been delayed for a month. The funds are seriously exceeding the standard and must be gone." Shao Shuaijun was very regretful. He originally planned to arrange a scene of crossing the Yellow River to enjoy the scenery of Shapotou. Income in the movie. However, for the sake of a few scenes, there was no time to arrange it, so I had no choice but to stop.

"The movie is a good movie, and it is made with great care. Although it is a commercial film, it has not lost art and rigor. I hope you can make movies more carefully in the future, so that you will not be corrupted by commercialization."

"Don't worry, I know my way."

Xu Jinwei nodded and said: "It's okay to understand. Our older generations don't have much to guide you. We can still lead you. If you are not in a hurry, I will take you to visit Zhang Xianliang. Let's chat. "

"it is good."

Shao Shuaijun nodded immediately. In Phoenix, if you don't know Zhang Xianliang, don't mix up. Zhang Xianliang is the chairman of the Northwest Film City of Zhenbeipu, which is one of the three largest film cities in China, and its status can be imagined. Being able to get on line with such a character is obviously of great benefit to gaining a foothold in the film industry.

With Mr. Xu Jinwei in the center, Zhang Xianliang and Shao Shuaijun had a pleasant chat. As someone who came from that era, Zhang Xianliang didn't have too much copper odor, and he still had a passion for Chinese movies. Although there are many different opinions between the two, the starting point is the same, and I hope that the Chinese film will come out soon.

When parting, Zhang Xianliang presented a pair of calligraphy, in which he wrote, "Those who set great things in ancient times are not only talented in the world, but also have the perseverance." I hope that Shao Shuaijun will be persevering in the direction of the director.

Zhang Xianliang is also a well-known writer and calligrapher. Many novels have been adapted into movies. He is a great master in the literary and artistic circles. Calligraphy can be described as a thousand dollars, and what is commendable is the encouragement between the lines. Shao Shuaijun thanked him again and again, and solemnly took the calligraphy away.

On the plane heading south, Shao Shuaijun was still a little emotional. Because of the limitations of the times, the older generation of filmmakers had separated from the mainstream film circle. But their pioneering and forward-looking vision for the future is far from the impetuous newcomers in the circle can compare, can be appreciated by the older generation, Shao Shuaijun's heart is heavy.

This is recognition and spur.

Still a huge network.

"The husband's ambition should be lofty..."
