B-level director

Chapter 6 Planet No. 276

They walked through the promenade and came to the film crew's shed.

All kinds of people shuttled back and forth, the rooms were light and dark, and various boxes and cables were placed around. At first glance, it was a mess, but it looked like a scene when a late-night market opened.

Usually there are many idle people waiting on this set, the two of them walked in rashly, no one looked at them.

Looking for Brother Qi and Ling Lingjiu all day long, jumping over several cables, after being called "Excuse me" and "Brother, let me go" twice, they were directed to the dressing room.

The door of the dressing room was closed tightly, and a white paper was pasted on it, and it was written forcefully: "Dressing room, don't fucking come in casually! Anyone who doesn't knock on the door will be stripped for public display."

Cheng Tianlu's hand that was about to open the door froze, and just as he was about to knock on the door, the door opened half a meter, and a woman came out lightly with her waist on her side.She was wearing tight purple suspenders, her waist was thin and soft, and her magnificent chest touched the door frame lightly when she passed the plasticized steel door.

Cheng Tianlu and Xiao Dongli unconsciously said "Oh", and took two steps back together.

The woman looked at them left and right, tilted her head slightly, and opened her plump lips: "Looking for Brother Qi?"

As she spoke, she wrapped her upper body in a large scarf.The two of them didn't have any obscene thoughts at first, but they were embarrassed by her cover-up. They could only look up and look at her face.

Her face was as straight as her figure, with a straight and high nose, a slightly raised chin, and thick false eyelashes fiercely propped up on her eyes. Her whole face was like a carved weapon.

However, her face was painted with various colors of bright red and purple, and she went too far to please people.

Cheng Tianlu: "Brother Qi is in there?"

She smiled, glanced lightly at their faces, pushed open the door, and left without saying a word.

Cheng Tianlu was about to step in when he saw Xiao Dongli staring blankly at the woman's back.He pushed Xiao Dongli.

Xiao Dongli: "Master Lu, what do you think she hasn't fixed?"

All day long: "Don't stare at people."

The two walked into the room, only to see Brother Qi alone in a room of about ten square meters.Brother Qi leaned on the black sofa with ease, his thin sweater was unbuttoned three times, just like the woman just now, he was also disheveled.

Looking around all day long, the lights are dim, where is the atmosphere of a dressing room?No wonder no one is allowed to come in casually.

He walked towards Brother Qi: "You have good welfare here."

Brother Qi looked up at the two of them, straightened his body slightly, and silently buttoned his clothes.

Seeing Brother Qi still wearing a woolen cap and toad mirror all day long, with half of his face blurred and his lips tensed, he seemed to be in pain, and wondered, "Hey, why are you so sad and not being served well?"

Brother Qi looked at him behind the sunglasses for a while, then sneered and said, "Editor, are you here to see the show? I'll ask her to come in and do it again?"

Only then did Cheng Tianlu realize that he was here to beg Brother Qi, and immediately swallowed the "yes" in his stomach.He smiled socially: "I'm here to visit the class. Where's [-]?"

Ling Lingjiu didn't say anything, and before he finished speaking, he came in in a hurry. "It's over?" He said to Brother Qi, and then greeted Cheng Tianlu and the others, "Hello, Master Lu is here to play, did you bring a gift?"

"Do you still have such rules?" He scoffed at Ling Lingjiu's cheekiness, when they invaded his editing room last time, they didn't bring a banana egg or anything.

"Of course, there is no one who comes to visit the class empty-handed!"

Cheng Tianlu thought that he came through the back door, and immediately surrendered: "Okay, I'll treat you to ice cream."

He instructed Xiao Dongli to buy ice cream, but after counting, there were more than 70 people in the crew.Cheng Tianlu secretly felt sorry for his wallet.Over there, Brother Qi and Ling Lingjiu are already busy.

They built a wall in the middle of the studio, the lighting engineer was measuring the light around it, the assistant director was working with the actors, and several strong men were working in front of the wall, as if setting up some kind of mechanism.

Cheng Tianlu walked over curiously and saw that they filled the tube with white, yellow and red sticky matter.Asked Ling Lingjiu, who was standing next to him eating ham sausage, "What is this filming?"

"In a short while, dozens of wooden stakes will pass through that buddy's body, smashing him into rags. Then fat, tendons, muscles, brains and blood will be sprayed out together, just like the Chinese New Year. It's the same as the fireworks!"

Cheng Tianlu felt sick to his stomach, "It's a big scene! Your team is very rich, so you need to use a lot of special effects."

"Special effects? Brother Qi doesn't like to use special effects, he likes to play for real."

"Really?" Cheng Tianlu was shocked.

Brother Qi happened to pass by, and he said, "It's serious. You've come here, why don't you make a cameo?"

"Do you want to tie me to the wall and spray me with those sticky fireworks? Don't!"

Brother Qi smiled, "You can't play this, you have Zhang Ning's unyielding face. Let's see the expression before being slaughtered?"

Cheng Tianlu bared his teeth and made him look like a hungry ghost rushing for food.Qi Geer laughed: "You are not an actor, you are tall, help me lift the recording pole, our recording assistant is going to make lunch for us."

Why is their recording assistant in charge of cooking!No, Tianlu was angry all day long: "Why should I do this for you? I even treated you to ice cream."

Brother Qi couldn't help saying, took his arm, and pushed him directly to the sound engineer, "You can be idle if you are idle, and I will pay you, okay?"

Cheng Tianlu thought, this could at least make up for some ice cream, so he agreed.

So, when Xiao Dongli came back, he saw their editor-in-chief solemnly holding the recording pole.The sound engineer in the distance shouted: "Brother, be smart for a while, the explosives have missed, and fragmentation bombs are not for fun!"

Xiao Dongli and Cheng Tianlu petrified together: Explosives?

Cheng Tianlu thought that lifting a pole would be enough, and then he remembered that Ling Lingjiu and Qi Geer said "it's real", so wait a minute, it's not the wooden stick pretending to touch the actor's body, but the real explosives!

I saw that those people by the wall were still setting up traps, and a man in a blue work uniform and goggles was instructing the strong men to dig holes with wires.

Tianlu wanted to cry but had no tears, just wanted the recording assistant to get back quickly.But when I think about it, it’s no wonder that the recording assistant will come back with such a shooting method!

In the beginning, we filmed the scene where the male actor is tied to the wall.He watched the performance of professionals all day long, and the effect was really tragic. He felt pity for it, and wanted to throw down the pole to rescue this hapless ghost.

Stakes pierced the body, bombs exploded, and it was real!Cheng Tianlu began to seriously consider whether to call the police to save others first.Unexpectedly, the actor made a few expressions and went down to eat ice cream.

A bunch of people started to get busy again, shifting the camera track, changing positions and setting up lights, the scene recorder coordinating the staff, and the photographer looking at the shots taken before.

Cheng Tianlu had nothing to do for a while, looking around for Brother Qi.Ge'er Qi wore a red sports jacket over his thin sweater, which stood out in the crowd.He walks slowly, speaks softly and calmly, coupled with his young age, he doesn't have the majesty of a town at all.

He knew a little bit about Qi Ge'er's resume.Most of the people in the film and television industry are graduates of majors. Most of the people in the circle are graduates of four universities in China, and they all have a connection with the teacher when they get together; Brother Qi came out of a wild way, and at the beginning he published comics on the Internet , Gradually accumulated popularity, began to enter the circle to make movies.

About the same age as Brother Qi, he is either still working in a technical position for years, or making some low-budget literary films like Tang Weiqin, but Brother Qi is less than 30 years old, and has already produced more than 20 works. The filmmaking efficiency and shoddy , shocked the entire industry.Also because of this, no matter whether you like it or not, as long as you get a little bit involved in this circle, everyone will have heard of Brother Qi's bad reputation.

Thinking of this, Cheng Tianlu began to search for memories: Did any accidents or deaths occur on the set of Brother Qi?

When he came back to his senses, the surrounding area began to clear.The meticulous sound engineer made him stand on the other side of the wall and drew a safety line for him.

Looking around all day, the actor is eating who knows how many ice creams, it seems that he will not end.He was the only one beside Nuo Da's wall of death.The villain stood two meters away from the wall wearing a mask, and the lamp cast the effect of Buddha's light on his body, and he didn't know how to play it.

Cheng Tianlu was worried, and when he was about to quit, he felt the surroundings gradually quiet down.The atmosphere became serious and cautious, Cheng Tianlu couldn't help but look at Brother Qi.

Not only him, everyone on the set focused their eyes on the red figure, and the whole studio seemed to be evacuated, and there was no sound for a second or two.In the vacuum, Brother Qi issued an order unhurriedly: "Let's start." The voice was not loud, but everyone received it accurately, and the muscles on his body tensed up.

Seeing Cheng Tianlu standing there alone, Xiao Dongli walked over, "Leader, let me lift it, give me a chance and I'll flatter you."

Cheng Tianlu waved his hand, "If you want to flatter, don't reimburse me for the ice cream."

"Don't think about it!"

The sound engineer reprimanded: "Stop flirting, you two, it's about to start. Hey boy, make way, the camera is on you."

Xiao Dongli moved towards the wall, seeing him stepping out of the safety line, he quickly stopped him: "Be careful!"

At this time, the assistant director had already yelled, "Turn it on!" It was too late to say it, and then it clicked, the mechanism started, and dozens of metals shot towards the wall at high speed.

The sharp voice seemed to graze his heart, Cheng Tianlu hurriedly hugged Xiao Dongli, and took two steps back.The recording rod fell to the wall and was hit by a metal rod.

It turned out that a small amount of explosives was also buried in the metal stick. When it hit a hard object, the small explosive fountain exploded like that, spraying "plasma and brains" all over the face.

The cameraman and the sound engineer took a thigh shot together: Fuck you!

Brother Qi walked over with a smile: "Are you two okay?"

Xiao Dongli was protected by the leader, and nothing happened except being frightened, but Tianlu's face was covered with batter and glue, and the smell was pungent.In addition to the chemical smell, there is also a little fishy smell.

Cheng Tianlu cried and said, "There's no real blood in it, right?" He said, reaching out to wipe it off.

Brother Qi grabbed his hand, "Don't wipe it, it's all like this, just play the corpse with your hands, so you don't need to put on makeup."

Seeing the mess around him, Cheng Tianlu felt that Brother Qi was really messing around, can't the post-production sound effects be used for plasma injection?The villain can't dub after the fact?Is it necessary for him to risk holding a recording pole?

"No acting!"

Brother Qi nodded, "Okay then. You can leave after you lose the money."

Cheng Tianlu turned his head and looked: the recording pole was lying on the ground heroically, and the recorder was dismembered into seven or eight pieces, submerged in the brain.And after the disturbance just now, it is estimated that the lens can not be used, and it has to be re-shot.This shot is not simple. He has seen it just now. If the explosion is to be effective, personal safety must be taken into account. The orbit and the amount of explosives have been strictly estimated. There is also a circle of fire prevention equipment and sandbags around to prevent any accidents.Three cameras and dozens of people were waiting to take a shot, and Qi Geer's light words "let's start" may have burned tens of thousands.

So I thought about it all day long.For the next hour, he lay flat on the ground and played the role of a corpse competently, allowing Qi Geer to ravage him.

The author says:

Fifty cents for special effects is not really fifty cents. In terms of film quality, 10,000 per second is shit. For large productions, [-]+ per second, or even hundreds of thousands, is normal.Actual shooting still saves money.In fact, the ugly domestic special effects are not because the special effects are [-] cents, but the visual imagination is [-] cents.
