Rebirth: I'm filming extra scenes on the set

Chapter 89 Film and TV Series: Scene Construction

"Mr. Li, you must seek an explanation for me for what happened today."

When they went to the various set locations, art director Zhang Pengfei kept complaining, "Who does that brat think he is? He's the first assistant director. It's only because you, Mr. Li, agreed to let him be the first assistant director. If he were in other crews, he would have a hard time being an assistant director."

"All right."

Li Jian frowned. "That Chen Cheng is quite capable. Besides, the art director has to listen to the director. If you don't listen to him, he will naturally kick you out."

"Isn't it just nonsense to listen to him? I want to see what good scenery he can create without me as the art director."

9: am.

Producer Li Jian and Yu Mingsheng and his team arrived at the first location where the crew set up the scene, the Holy Mother Cave.

The Holy Mother Cave is where the Jade Emperor imprisoned the Three Holy Mothers.

"Leaders, please come this way."

Smiling, Chen Cheng stood in front of the Holy Mother Cave.

This time, not only producer Li Jian, director Yu Mingsheng, but also producer Song Dan came to inspect.

As for why a film needs a producer.

Very simple.

The same as what Wu Jingyuan said before.

Directing and producing are actually two different paths.

The director's idea is how to make a good film, no matter how much it costs, since it is not his own money anyway.

The producer's idea is to spend the least amount of money and make the best film, because it is his own money.

Then there is a conflict here.

The producers were worried that the director would mess up the filming and go over budget.

Don't think this is a trivial matter.

Some movies are almost bankrupt because the directors spend too much money, and as a result, the producers are almost bankrupt.

Chen Cheng didn’t know some of the other people, and they were probably from the producer’s side.

That's why they take it so seriously.

I also wanted to see where Chen Cheng spent the money.

after all.

In a film, the cost of setting up the set is often huge, and there are many tricks involved.

Yu Mingsheng glanced at Chen Cheng and said, "Chen Cheng, why don't you introduce the Holy Mother Cave?"

Chen Cheng said quickly, "Blame me, blame me. Dear leaders, the Holy Mother Cave is where the Three Holy Mothers were imprisoned. When setting the scene, we made a big innovation to the Holy Mother Cave. We built a large cave with a circular pool inside. There is a stone slab in the middle of the pool. The Three Holy Mothers were imprisoned in the middle of the pool."

Listening to Chen Cheng's explanation, Yu Mingsheng nodded: "I think this plan is good, let's go and take a look."

Everyone followed and entered the cave together.

Same as what Chen Cheng introduced.

The whole cave is relatively open.

Although it is a place of imprisonment, it feels much more solemn.

There is a large pool in the middle, which is also in the form of a fountain, forming a circle with the central stone slab as the center.

"Dear leaders, the Three Holy Mothers are imprisoned here."

Pointing to the stone slab in the center of the pool, Chen Cheng introduced.

Art director Zhang Pengfei stood up and said, "Director Chen, this place of imprisonment is too comfortable. You know, the Three Holy Mothers are prisoners who have violated the laws of heaven. If you build a place like this, people who don't know would think that the Three Holy Mothers are practicing here."

When such a question came out, everyone looked at Chen Cheng.

Chen Cheng was well prepared for this and explained, "Director Zhang, this is a good question. I think that previous versions of The Lotus Lantern did not pay too much attention to the Holy Mother Cave. Many of them just dug a hole in a hurry, or even did not dig a hole at all, and directly found a stone, and then tied the Three Holy Mothers to the stone with iron chains. I think this is a bit cruel. After all, the Three Holy Mothers are gods, and they are also Yang Jian's sister. Yang Jian even served as an official in the heavenly court. Even if the gods violated the heavenly rules, they should have the dignity of gods. Moreover, Yang Jian could not bear to see the Jade Emperor treat his sister so rudely. Therefore, even if the Jade Emperor wanted to imprison the Three Holy Mothers, he should have given her a relatively good space, but only restricted her freedom."

have to say.

Chen Cheng's explanation is perfect.

Even the other producers who came along nodded from time to time.

obviously.

Chen Cheng's approach is countless times better than the crude method of locking up the Three Holy Mothers.

Simultaneously.

Those who are familiar with the script are more likely to approve of Chen Cheng's approach.

In the script, Yang Jian is not a villain.

If Yang Jian did too bad things in the early stage, even being so cruel to his own sister, then it would not be so credible to overturn his case in the later stage.

However, Zhang Pengfei still refused to accept the offer and said again, "How can you restrict the freedom of the Three Holy Mothers here? You see, the cave is so big, and there is no other prop to lock up the Three Holy Mothers. If Chenxiang finds this place, he can take the Three Holy Mothers away. Why would he need to use the Axe of Creation? You can just lock up the Three Holy Mothers with an iron chain."

Chen Cheng smiled and said, "I think Director Zhang can read more scripts, or learn more about mythological movies and TV series. The power of the gods does not need the rough restrictions of us ordinary people. Just like here..."

Chen Cheng pointed to the spring water gushing out of the pool and said, "This pool is actually a restriction that imprisons the Three Holy Mothers. Under the constraints of this restriction, not only can the Three Holy Mothers not come out, but outsiders cannot enter, let alone take the Three Holy Mothers away. Only the Axe of Creation can break this restriction."

Finished saying this.

A producer nearby said, "This is like the five-word mantra of Tathagata Buddha. As long as this mantra is attached to the Five Elements Mountain, no matter how powerful Sun Wukong is, he can't get out."

This made everyone laugh and cheer.

Zhang Pengfei next to him wanted to say something, but Li Jian glared at him and whispered, "Isn't this embarrassing enough? Shut up."

"Very good, Chen Cheng, let's go to the next venue."

After viewing the Holy Mother Cave, everyone moved to another venue. …

Yaochi Holy Land.

Behind the Holy Mother Cave is the sacred land of Yaochi.

This venue was also built separately.

no way.

That's how filming works.

Although Hengdian has a series of buildings, not all of them fit the script of each film.

There are no such scenes in these myths in Hengdian.

There are also many natural scenery scenes that are not available in Hengdian.

Hengdian has more ancient buildings and scenes from the past.

It is said that Hengdian is also preparing to build an urban modern theater to provide hardware services for the filming of modern urban dramas.

"Dear leaders, this is the Holy Land of Yaochi, commonly known as the office of the Queen Mother."

Compared with the Holy Mother Cave, the Holy Land of Yaochi is undoubtedly much more luxurious.

Or maybe you can’t use the word luxury.

After all, it is a holy place and a place of gods.

As soon as you come in here, you will feel like you are in a fairyland.

This is a rockery, this is a fairy stone, this is a fairy grass, this is a fairy tree, and there are also a series of fairy cranes and fairy birds...

Of course, this is all fake.

But no matter whether it is real or not, as long as the effect of the photo is real, it’s fine.

"Mr. Li..."

Zhang Pengfei wanted to say something, but Li Jian glared at him, so he kept his words to himself.

Seeing that Zhang Pengfei was really unable to hold back, Chen Cheng asked, "Does Coach Zhang have any suggestions?"

Seeing Chen Cheng asking about himself, Zhang Pengfei, who had been unable to hold back for a long time, said: "I don't have any suggestions, but I want to ask, didn't I build this scene?"

After hearing this, everyone was stunned and looked at Chen Cheng.

Chen Cheng replied calmly, "Yes, it was indeed built by Director Zhang. I think Director Zhang built it well, so I kept it."

"I……"

Zhang Pengfei almost went berserk.

Nimei.

I built it so well, but you still drove me away.

Not only did he drive me away, but he also completely made his own work.

Is that human being?
Yu Mingsheng coughed, also hinting at Chen Cheng.

This approach is somewhat unauthentic.

But how could Chen Cheng do this without considering the consequences?

Then, Chen Cheng said, "Don't misunderstand me, leaders. Although I think the Yaochi Holy Land built by Director Zhang is okay, but everyone, take a look, it still lacks a certain flavor."

“Which flavor is missing?”

“Fairy taste.”

Chen Cheng pointed here and said, "Yaochi Holy Land is a holy land and also a place of immortals, so it naturally has a fairy flavor. However, when we came here, we just felt that it was very luxurious, or had a little fairy air, but it was not obvious."

"Director Chen, how can we make this place more fairy-like?"

"Everyone, please take a look."

Chen Cheng waved his hand.

After a few seconds, waves of fairy air spread out.

This is the mist created by Chen Cheng using a large amount of dry ice to achieve an ethereal effect.

"Wow……"

The air was so ethereal that everyone felt like they had arrived in a fairyland.

Yu Mingsheng led the applause.

Then he pulled Chen Cheng aside and said, "Good boy, this dry ice must have cost a lot of money."

"It's not a lot of money. I estimate that the dry ice cost about 50 yuan for the filming of this movie."

"50... just for the dry ice."

"The main reason is that dry ice is expensive, and the venue is so large."

Yu Mingsheng was also somewhat shocked by Chen Cheng's number.

Seeing this, Chen Cheng said, "Director Yu, don't get excited. It's only 50 yuan. If you save money, 30 yuan will probably be fine. Director Yu, don't feel bad. We are making a big production. CCTV gave us a lot of production funds. If we don't spend it all, they will think we are cutting corners, don't you think?"

"What you said makes sense, kid."

After nodding, Yu Mingsheng no longer had any questions.

Brothers, please give me a monthly ticket, just one, is there any?
