This time, Tian Xingjian was very humble in communicating with everyone. After all, he had never filmed such a big scene before. When he arrived at the scene and followed Director Quan Chengwu's guidance, Tian Xingjian realized that he was still very young. No wonder Director Quan Chengwu could become Shen Lie's number one general. He was just a young general being nurtured.
Director Quan Chengwu had filmed the biggest battle scene in ancient costume, which was a chaotic battle of 300 people, so he gave Tian Xingjian a lot of advice in this aspect, especially the problem of camera angle. This was something that could not be learned by a fool.
It only indicated the angle of the camera and did not tell them what to do outside of the camera. For example, if the scene was a long shot, it would write a long shot. It did not care how the actors performed or how they moved. It was just a fool's pace.
Even so, after a whole day of shooting, Tian Xingjian was still a little dissatisfied. He started to gather at 10 o'clock in the morning and continued to shoot until 5 o'clock in the afternoon when the sun set. There was no natural light angle, so Tian Xingjian had to call it a day. On the one hand, Tian Xingjian was also crazily increasing his experience on the spot. On the other hand, Tian Xingjian was also a little dissatisfied with the performance of the extras. He could see that there were many places where he was exposed. Even if he tried to cover it up, there was nothing he could do.
However, this kind of mistake could not be avoided. You could not expect all extras to be professional actors. If he had the money, he could hire the local army to cooperate with the performance. However, that thing was expensive. Although there was no need to worry about discipline during filming, it was more than twice as expensive as extras. Moreover, you had to have connections to get such a team to assist in the performance.
When they finished work in the afternoon, Tian Xingjian had originally agreed to shoot a night scene. It was the scene where Yuan Bin and Han Jiaren met at the bar, followed by the dramatic fight with Lee Hyo Lee, and the scene where he sent her home. However, after a whole day, Tian Xingjian went back to the hotel to take a shower and directly lay down to sleep. His body was not tired, but his mind was tired. He had to coordinate with all aspects of the crew endlessly. His head was about to explode.
This was even with the help of five or six assistant directors, and he and Director Kwon Seongwoo were gathering information and coordinating. These 100 people were basically ordinary people. They were given 5000 won and came to film together. This group of people was the hardest to control.
This chaotic scene took three days to shoot, and finally, it was done. Tian Xingjian went to Shen Lie immediately after the shooting was done. He told Shen Lie to hire professional extras in the future, not extras. Otherwise, he would hire the army to assist in the performance. He didn't want to do this kind of work anymore, nor did he want to shoot this kind of film crew that was stingy with money.
"Don't worry, don't worry. Most of the actors in the girls 'school are trainees from CJ. We've gathered two classes for you.”Shen Lie smiled bitterly and patted Tian Xingjian's shoulder. He felt helpless. This kid was good at everything, but he was still inexperienced. If Quan Chengwu were to film, he would be able to handle all the extras, let alone extras and extras.
But on the other hand, it also showed that this kid was indeed talented. After filming until now, he naturally understood most of the meaning of Tian Xingjian's film, especially the editing method that he had told him these two days. He was also prepared to bring it up to the company and ask for the editing rights. Even if he couldn't get it, he would let Tian Xingjian participate in the editing and not just watch the company edit.
After filming the big scene in Gangwon-do, the crew rushed back to Icheon City. They had originally planned to film the girls 'school first, but due to the media's uproar, they had to change their plans and go to Gangwon-do to film the big scene first. Why did they come to Gangwon-do? It was cheaper. It was much cheaper to book the entire street here than in Seoul and Kyonggi-do. Moreover, the local government was quite supportive of filming here.
After the filming in Gangwon-do ended, Tian Xingjian did not rest after arriving at Icheon City that night. He immediately pulled a group of crew members to hurry up and shoot their scenes for Hyunbin and Lee Hyo-Ri. Both of them had something to do at the last minute, so they could only drag their tired bodies and hurry up to shoot this scene.
As for the first fight between Lee Hyori and the Seventh Princess, it was also changed to Lee Hyori rushing back before they left Icheon City. Compared to Lee Hyo-Ri, Tian Xingjian felt even more sorry for Yuan Bin. Initially, he wanted to get close to him and ask him to cooperate with him in a movie after he finished his military service. Who knew that he had something to do at the last minute and was in a hurry to leave? Tian Xingjian missed the opportunity to get close to Yuan Bin.
After filming that night, Yuan Bin left the crew completely. He had given him face by acting in a movie before joining the army, and it was a completely friendly role. He didn't ask for a single cent. This was the kind of network that Tian Xingjian wanted to kidnap Shen Lie and work for him.
A new week had begun. After a day's rest, the crew began to shoot the scenes in the girls 'school again. This time, Tian Xingjian was not in a hurry to shoot the group scenes. Instead, he first filmed the scenes of them practicing dancing in the studio. In the past two days, Tian Xingjian had also found the original dance. It turned out that it was just a dance for the song MV. Of course, he added a little of his own movements.
"Stop laughing. Watch carefully and follow my movements slowly!”Tian Xingjian was also speechless. These girls were all laughing as they watched him lead the dance. The crew was also laughing. There was no other way. Tian Xingjian was dancing a female dance, so of course, he had to do a lot of things." Especially you, Wen Genying. You're not allowed to act cute in the production team in the future.”
"And you, Han Jiaren, you're dancing like an idiot. Don't follow suit.”
"You, Yin Enhui, don't think that you can do anything just because you've regained your body shape. I'll let you gain weight. Look at how much weight you've put on during this period of time. From noon onwards, eat with me. Eat as much as I eat. Don't pout.”
"Sun Yizhen, be crazier!" After Tian Xingjian finished speaking, he completely ignored the remaining two people. It didn't matter whether they were obedient or performed well. Anyway, they were about to wrap up, and they wouldn't be working together anymore.
Following Tian Xingjian's lead dance, the group of people also put away their smiles and started dancing. After all, this scene was just a few simple movements. After filming, they would have to film the other scenes of the school. Of course, apart from this, everyone knew that there was another scene that was the complete version of their dance at the funeral. This required them to go down and practice more. Now, they had to hurry up and finish the filming of this scene.
After all, it was a scene that required a little practice. Tian Xingjian could understand if there was a little mistake, and it was also in line with the actual situation.
After teaching for more than ten minutes, the group of them contacted each other for a while. Half an hour later, they finally started filming.
Although most of the scenes in the school were group scenes, it was fortunate that he had experienced a big scene a few days ago. For such a small scale scene, Tian Xingjian naturally did not say anything. He had now discovered his weakness, which was that he could not shoot scenes with large crowds. Either he found a group of absolutely obedient extras, or he needed an assistant director like Quan Chengwu to help him.
Otherwise, he really wouldn't have been able to handle it. He wasn't really omnipotent. This was also his first time as a director, so many shortcomings were exposed. Of course, he also reflected a lot. What he had learned was theoretical knowledge. In such a small scene, his control was better than the original, but in a big scene, he was at a loss.
This also reminded Tian Xingjian that if he were to shoot in the future, he would definitely not shoot such a big scene. He was still young, and he had to learn for a few years. When he was 30-40 years old, he would shoot such a big scene. Well, by then, it would probably be called a small scene.
"Xingjian, is this line okay?”Shen Lie had been following them throughout the filming. Today, he had filmed the scolding battle between Lee Hyo Ri and the Seventh Princess.
Tian Xingjian was stunned." It's okay. Lee Hyo-Ri didn't object to it himself. Just shoot it."”However, in his heart, he was complaining. If he were to bring out Wondergirls and Girls 'Generation, then S`M would be angry with him. It was just SES now. The FIN.K.L behind the bar was more suitable for the current era.
Thinking of this, Tian Xingjian immediately understood. This film was definitely not made in the recent two years. Not to mention MG, Girls 'Generation was already 10 years old, so this film was probably shot around that time.
Otherwise, how could there be MG and Girls 'Generation in the script? When he copied the script, Tian Xingjian didn't pay much attention to it. If it wasn't for Shen Lie's reminder, he wouldn't have thought so much.
" Ya, SES..." As Jeon Jihyun shouted at Lee Hyo Ri, the filming of the crew was naturally in progress. Shen Lie didn't care about Tian Xingjian's insistence. It was just a joke. This time, when he shot the young scenes, he also understood that this film was a comedy, unlike the middle-aged scenes that were a little sad.
One had to know that the crew could not shoot the scenes one by one like the editing. They would definitely shoot them separately to save money and effort. It was just that the post-production would be a little troublesome. Of course, this would also reflect the director's skill in the eyes of outsiders.
As the filming sped up, the media had almost completely exposed the crew. Now, the management company of this group of people was helping them to take on all kinds of activities. The scene of eight beautiful women and a handsome man could not attract any attention, especially when Yuan Bin had publicly stated that this was a gift he gave to everyone before he joined the army. It helped the crew to hype up again.
Last year's Flying Taiji Flag had won Yuan Bin a lot of fans and recognition, and this movie had even won the Green Dragon Award last year.
However, other than the management companies that were busy hyping up their own artists, Jin Taixi and Han Jiaren had not made any moves. Tian Xingjian knew that they were negotiating with the company about the contract, and they were not resigning the contract but buying it out. Of course, if the situation was good, they would naturally terminate the contract amicably. If it really didn't work, they would forcefully buy it out.
"Brother Shen Lie, you can help me play a role!”After the filming at the Icheon City Girls 'School, Tian Xingjian saw Shen Lie coming over today and said to him in a flattering manner.
"Don't say that. I'm not an actor. Go find someone else!”Shen Lie laughed and scolded. Of course, he knew that today was the last scene. Besides the dance of these actresses, there was also the role of a male lawyer. Tian Xingjian asked him who else could play this role.
"Aiya, I'm just having fun. Yunxi, hurry up and help Shen Lie do his makeup. Save money, save money. You don't know if the crew has no money.”Tian Xingjian chuckled as he pulled Shen Lie to the dressing room.
A group of people from the production team also joined in. It was just one scene anyway. Moreover, there were many scolding words in the lines. As an old senior in the entertainment industry, he could also withstand it. One had to know that the crew wanted Tian Xingjian to play the role in the beginning. He wasn't stupid. It was better for Shen Lie to do the job of offending people.
"You brat, alright, but you can't get stuck too many times!”Shen Lie looked at the scene and agreed with a smile.
The cast was ready, and Tian Xingjian began the final casting of the script. Although there was no scene for Jeon Jihyun today, and only a frame, she still showed up at the set. Hyun Bin also took some time to come and take a look. Moon Geun Ying also made her final appearance as a middle-aged man for the first time.
" Scene 135, take one. All units, get ready…"
“action！”
Tian Xingjian really hoped that this would be the last time he shouted action in this movie. He couldn't help but think of the first day when he shouted action. It wasn't a good memory. As he thought about it, Tian Xingjian looked at the middle-aged beauties with makeup and stared at their appearances with interest.
As he read, he suddenly thought of a good idea. Didn't every movie have a promotional video? He suddenly thought of getting these people to shoot a promotional video to attract the fans 'greed. It could also be considered as a warm-up for the movie when it was released.
He did as he thought and softly called the assistant beside him to call Jin Yunxi over. After a while, Jin Yunxi ran to Tian Xingjian's side and said," Yunxi, those makeup artists from Hong Kong are still there, right?”
"Yes, what's wrong?" Kim Yoonhee whispered.
"Tell them not to leave. I still need their help in the afternoon. I'll tell them later.”Tian Xingjian nodded at Kim Yoonhee and then looked at the monitor. As the recorder was pressed, the script supervisor also raised the red light and began to count down.
There was no music here. For the sake of the quality of the music, they had to add it later. Therefore, they started dancing without a rhythm, completely relying on private practice. Tian Xingjian remembered that before the film was released, there was some unhappiness over the copyright issues. Therefore, the music had always been kept a secret. Artists like them had only heard it in private to avoid a lawsuit over the name. Tian Xingjian had always kept the song 'Sunny' a secret.
Of course, Tian Xingjian had already bought the copyrights to the main music in the movie. He could just find a musician from CJ to work with the rest. After all, there was no real original music in the entire movie. It was all adapted original music.
Following Wen Genying's final appearance, Tian Xingjian saw this and decisively shouted," Pack up! It's done!"
Hearing Tian Xingjian's words, the whole crew started to shout. After four months, they had finally finished shooting a movie. The whole crew was the happiest at this time. They didn't have to get up before dawn tomorrow, and they didn't have to sweat all day. The young people could also go out and see those beautiful women in short skirts.
However, after looking at these beautiful women, he didn't know if they were looking at ordinary girls.
Although Tian Xingjian was planning to shoot a promotional video, he didn't plan to say it out loud so that everyone would have fun. Han also had a wrap party, so Shen Lie had already booked a restaurant for the afternoon. Han was a country, so the party was naturally going to be barbecue.
"Brother, go and inform the artistes not to leave yet. We'll shoot a behind-the-scenes scene and ask them to volunteer. Yunxi, ask the makeup artist to stay!" There was no need for a photographer. He could handle this small matter himself. A camera was enough.
As the production team slowly packed up their equipment and left, Tian Xingjian looked at the empty venue and once again brought a group of actors and makeup artists to the hall.
"Thank you all for staying. I'll explain to everyone here. We're going to shoot a short video for the promotional video. We need you to dress up from your current state to look like you're 40 years old. Of course, we won't draw anything after that. Otherwise, how are little boys going to sleep at night?”Tian Xingjian looked at the group of female artistes standing around him and said with a smile.
"Director OPA, I understand!”Wen Genying giggled.
"Idiot, even if you understand, you have to pretend not to understand!”Tian Xingjian cursed in amusement.
"Puff! Puff! Puff!" The group of artistes, assistants, and managers all laughed. Wen Genying's face was flushed red from holding it in.
"Alright, everyone come one by one. Later, I'll put everyone together into seven pictures.”After Tian Xingjian finished speaking, he ran to adjust the angle of the camera with a smile. At the same time, he began to explain to a group of photographers from Hong Kong and asked them to leave the country. Of course, as an assistant, Kim Yoonhee also had to help.
Tian Xingjian's thoughts were quite simple, but he didn't expect it to be so troublesome. Just to remove makeup and remove makeup, he would draw a 20-year-old girl, which was what they looked like now. Then, he would remove his makeup and start special makeup. Then, he would draw a 30-year-old girl, remove his makeup, and then draw a 40-year-old girl. It took him two hours to do one for Kim Hee-Seon.
Well, Tian Xingjian saw this situation and decisively called a few people first. This time, he only drew Kim HeeSun and Jeon JiHyun. As for the remaining six, Tian Xingjian asked them to take time to draw them in two days.
With his experience as a director, he also had a good relationship with the others. At least, it was not like Kim Hee-Seon and Jeon Ji-Hyun, who were strangers in private except for their working relationship. Especially Moon Geun-Ying, who was the last to contact Tian Xingjian and was the closest.
Sun Yizhen and Yoon Eunhye respected him very much. As for Han Jiaren and Kim Tae-hee, he had to pretend to be a grandson in front of them.
Fortunately, Jin Yunxi's makeup team could also do this kind of makeup treatment. Otherwise, Tian Xingjian would have paid for the food, drink, and toilet of the people in Hong Kong for a week.
The dinner was held at a famous barbecue restaurant in Seoul. Shen Lie booked the entire restaurant. The lower floor was reserved for the staff, and the upper floor was reserved for the main members and artists of the film crew. Tianxing did not expect all the actors and actresses to come. Although some of them left after eating a little, at least Shen Lie had a lot of face. Well, this time, he had gained some face. After all, he was the director of this movie.
"Why aren't you eating, Enhui? Isn't it delicious?" As the director, Tian Xingjian naturally had to take care of everyone from top to bottom. He had just finished drinking with the staff below and finally left to go to Enhui and the others 'table.
"Oppa, I've gained a whole 15 pounds now. I haven't lost any weight yet!”Yin Enhui said aggrievedly.
"Tsk, isn't it just 15 pounds?”Tian Xingjian shrugged his shoulders." Don't worry, if the OP PA can make you fat, of course it will take responsibility for you. Do you have a pen and paper? Persevere for two months and I guarantee that you will recover your beautiful figure!"”
"Really?" Yin Enhui's eyes widened.
"What a joke. The OP PA is an all-rounded genius. Do you understand? It can solve everything from astronomy and geography to gynecology!”Tian Xingjian watched as Yin Enhui took out a notebook and handed it to him.
"Eat this in the morning. Remember to use skimmed milk, and…"
" Go to a Chinese medicine store and get this order. Then, you can go home and make it yourself. Then, eat this for lunch. If you're busy, make it in advance and bring it with you as a lunchbox. Remember, don't eat kimchi. If you want to lose weight, don't eat it randomly. Don't blame me if you can't lose weight. Tonight…"
Tian Xingjian finished writing in his notebook and handed it to Yi Enhui." Remember, this is the secret recipe. Don't give it to anyone else. Do you know that if the entertainment industry can't survive in the future, Oppa will be preparing to open a weight-loss shop and rely on this to earn money to support their families?"”
"Yes, yes, yes. Is OP PA really effective?”Yin Enhui listened to him logically, but she was still a little suspicious.
"What a joke. Before I was in middle school, I was known as a little fatty. OPA's father combined his many years of cooking experience and developed this recipe for me. Coupled with OPA's relentless training, how else could I have such a good figure? OPA is a living example of you. Remember, keep it a secret. If you can't survive in the future, you might be able to sell this thing for money!”Tian Xingjian laughed.
"I want the director's OP PA too, I want it too!”Wen Genying's eyes lit up as she pulled Tian Xingjian's arm.
"Go, go, go. Just eat some papaya first. Lose weight. When the time comes, you won't lose any weight.”Tian Xingjian scolded.
"Ah, OPPA, is there such a side effect? Then, then I'd better not. I'll slowly train myself!”Yin Enhui shook her head decisively when she heard that.
"Give it to me, give it to me. I'm not afraid!" Sun Yizhen said as she prepared to snatch the laptop.
"No, do OPPA have any side effects?”Yin Enhui hugged her laptop tightly and looked at Tian Xingjian pleadingly.
"How would I know? I'm the only son in my family. My father has never studied recipes for girls!”Tian Xingjian shrugged his shoulders.
"Then Auntie must be very good at providing for her!”Yin Enhui's last hope.
"My dad said that a woman is beautiful when she's fat. She's healthy and rich.”
