Chapter 547: The Budget Exceeds the Standard

Hearing what he said, Xu Qingya fell into his arms with a smile, "But I'm running out of energy. I've been too tired recently! Uncle, you have to inject some energy into me."

What can Du Caige say? Just hug her and kiss her.

Conducting heat to her, this can be regarded as some way of injecting energy.

Because the weather was very hot, they all wore thin clothes, so Du Caige was very honest.

When everyone is wearing thin clothes, it is especially easy to miss a gun.

And he doesn't want to go further with Xu Qingya now, and he won't do it for the time being.

If he and Xu Qingya had developed to that point long ago, they could continue to do it smoothly in the crew.

But since it has not developed to that stage before, he will not have too close contact with Xu Qingya during the crew.

It's all about the movie!

In front of the movie, all personal feelings have to be put back! All elements that may affect the harmony of the crew and the quality of the film must be excluded!

...

Due to the different atmosphere of the crew, the state of the actors was also affected to some extent during the filming process.

But the most fluctuating performance is not Luo Hengzuo, who has the weakest acting skills among the main actors, but Qu Hong.

In fact, Du Caige watched from the sidelines, Qu Hong's performance fluctuated, not because of the atmosphere of the crew.

The actors were not forced to stand in line, and the conflict between the director and the assistant director did not affect them.

Many fighting moves co-designed by Qu Hong and the martial arts instructor were overturned, perhaps this affected his mood.

But more importantly, when he was filming, Shu Yihuan kept making new demands on him, and seemed to be making various attempts to make him drastically change his previous fighting style.

This made Qu Hong somewhat at a loss.

Let’s make an analogy.

To shoot a scene of two people chasing and fighting.

You can choose a few good camera positions, like the scene of the fight when Fan Xian and Haitang first met in "Celebrating More Than Years". Take a bird's-eye view camera, etc., and shoot a few sets of shots.

In the shots taken by several cameras, they are passing overhead, they are chasing in front of their eyes, they jump from one cliff to another; they run into the camera range from behind the camera, and then chase and run away; There is also a bird's-eye view, watching two people chasing ... and so on.

And then through sharp editing, to reflect the rabbits and falcons when they chased and fought.

Sound complicated?

No, it's not that hard to shoot.

Actors are not too demanding.

As long as the action is handsome, there is no need for acting skills.

And the effect of the finished film is very good, and the visual experience is very comfortable, making people feel "wow, the chase is so intense, and the fight is so exciting".

In fact, it is much less difficult to shoot than the previous martial arts films.

Action design is also simple.

For example, Li Lianjie's "Once Upon a Time" series and "Fang Shiyu" series are more difficult to shoot than this one.

Of course, it doesn't necessarily have to be this way, because there are many ways to choose from.

But Shu Yihuan did not choose any kind of shooting method that Du Caige thought was very reasonable and mature.

Instead, the actor turned back and gave a close-up of the front, how the expression should be.

There should be a close-up shot of the actor's eyes.

Then another close-up of the hand.

Du Caige really wanted to ask him: Brother, are you really making a martial arts movie? Don't make fun of me, okay?

Qu Hong's state was affected, and Luo Hengzuo's acting skills were not good enough.

Then Shu Yihuan often did whatever he wanted during filming. He clearly finished filming a scene yesterday, and came here today and said that he felt that yesterday’s scene was not well filmed, so he shot it again today, we changed the shooting method and the camera position...

Really speechless.

As a mature director, of course, there may be times when inspiration strikes and makes some creative things.

This is also the charm of art.

But in general, the film has gradually evolved into an industry, to be pushed according to the plan.

Although you don’t need to follow the plan completely, you can’t do whatever you want, and you can always make temporary adjustments, right?

This shows that the director has no idea and has no idea how to shoot.

Or he is shooting an experimental thing, and he doesn't know the effect in advance, so he has to adjust it while shooting, and then constantly come up with new ideas, and then implement them into the shooting one by one.

One consequence of this is that the shooting progress is seriously delayed.

Du Caige had read the script.

It stands to reason that the scenes shot here in Hengdian are only a small part of the total length.

Less than one-tenth.

Therefore, the original plan was to complete the scenes in Hengdian in the middle and late May, and then go to other locations, and wait until the Wudang buildings are completed before filming the scenes in Wudang.

But now, it's almost July, and the scenes in Hengdian haven't finished filming yet.

If we were all at this rate, wouldn't it take 20 months to shoot the entire movie? A year and a half!

Then post-production takes another year!

Although "Wudang" is expected to be a big production, it requires a relatively long production cycle.

But it's also too long!

It took a year and a half to shoot, it's really impossible!

To talk about blockbusters, such as "Titanic", which was completed in 1997, set a number of records and left a name in film history.

Production cycle, up to 5 years.

But that includes the preparatory work up front, casting the cast, making the big boat, and then post-production...

What about the actual shooting time? It was officially launched in September 1996 and completed in April 1997.

Some additional shots were taken later, but the actual shooting time was only 7 months.

And this is already a long time to shoot.

Under the conditions of the developed modern film industry, the period of filming is constantly shortening.

For example, Iron Man, which was released in 2008, was filmed for three and a half months from March to June 2007.

The rest of the production time took 5 months.

This is the power of the modern film industry.

But Shu Yihuan's "Wudang" has been running for 2 months, and it feels like it's still standing still.

Every day that the crew delays, people eat horses and chews, it's all silver!

What if the actual shooting cycle reaches a year and a half, or even longer?

The actor's schedule is not easy to communicate, and he must pay more.

And the staff's salaries, accommodation and meals, filming equipment, renting costumes and props... all have to increase several times.

Go on like this, budget... no, don't go on like this.

Now the budget is almost overrun.

Two days ago, the company communicated with Du Caige, saying that Shu Yihuan contacted the company directly, saying that there was not much money in his pocket, and he reached out to ask for money.

If you don't pay, you can only stop work.

In fact, as a producer, Du Caige should tell him about these economic-related matters.

But he was not very in charge before, so over time, everyone did not take his title of "supervisor" seriously.

Just take him as an ordinary assistant director.

Even asking for money, they avoided him.

Although as an artist and director, Du Caige believes that in order to make a high-quality film, it is worth investing in.

However, he is also a shareholder and management of Dream Dream Entertainment.

For the production of a commercial film, there must be an economic calculation.

Now, this account has begun to become more and more headaches.

"I know I should have a good talk with Director Shu, but the problem now is that because of the current atmosphere, whatever I say to him will be magnified, and he will think too much and talk to me with emotion. We can't talk." Du Caige complained.

This is in his hotel room, Xu Qingya is sitting on the head of his bed, wearing a very cool light green dress.

Regardless of the risk of disappearing, he casually rested his feet on the bed and flipped through the sample of the first volume of "A Song of Ice and Fire" sent to him by the publishing house.

Liu Zifei had short shaved hair, and wore a very neutral, fine-grained short shirt. She was sweating profusely, and there was no makeup on her face at all.

In such a hot weather, no matter what makeup you put on, you will be washed away by sweat after staying on the set for a while.

Actors like Xu Qingya and the others basically have to do makeup after a few shots.

Xu Qingya read the book with relish as if she didn't hear Du Caige's complaints.

In fact, these days, she has heard too many similar complaints, and it is not surprising that she is used to it.

Liu Zifei listened attentively, and could see that she was thinking seriously.

"Then, or else, after the filming is over tomorrow, in my name, I will ask Director Shu to find a teahouse and sit down. Then you will go there too, so that you can have a good communication?"

Du Caige pondered for a moment: "Okay."
