Entertainment: The joy of being a director is beyond your imagination

Chapter 125. Shooting! Who says there is no perfect murder? !
She knows the pros and cons, but he knows the depth?
Perfect shape, right?

Well, this is a match made in heaven.

There was no need to talk to Yang Mi about trivial things. He was determined to get Han Jianv. Such an all-round talent was too rare. The talents Pei Ran found at salon gatherings everywhere during the Spring Festival were nothing compared to Han Jianv.

However, with Han Jianu's background, it's hard to keep her with benefits alone. But there's no rush. After all, we'll be together for a long time when filming Burning Sun. Maybe she'll develop feelings for him and want to stay? Or maybe she's interested in Maoyan and wants to join?
It's hard to say.

Pei Ran is very good at distinguishing priorities.

Otherwise, when "Accidental Manslaughter" was released, he didn't even bother to reply to the erotic photos sent to him by Liu Wanqing, the extremely contrasting and coquettish beauty, as his mind was full of movie data.

Compared to Han Jianu, the more important thing now is filming.

The Sun Also Rises is an adapted film. The original novel was published by Shanghai Literature and Art Publishing House and the author is Xu Yi Gua. Of course, the copyright issue has been resolved.

The script was also shown to the original author, who was very satisfied with Pei Ran's script. However, the only thing she was concerned about was... the standards. Would it pass review?
Director Pei is not an ordinary person after all, he is a tough guy after all.

With the help of the "all-round director", the script handed over to the actors was actually the second version. The second version was slightly larger than the previous one, but because it was expressed in an obscure form, there were some minor changes in the plot.

After the script issues were resolved.

There are still several shooting difficulties that need to be resolved.

The actors have problems getting into the role and controlling their emotions. There are many scenes in "Burning Sun" that involve strong emotional outbursts, which are extremely challenging for the actors' abilities.

There are also dangerous actions and harsh environments.

for example.

There was a shot in the script that required Deng Chao to shoot an underwater scene, in which he had to complete a series of actions at a depth of two meters in dirty and smelly water where he could not wear a respirator.

These are just difficulties for the actors.

There are also tests for Pei Ran.

Scenes such as "chasing a criminal in a high-rise building" and "chasing a criminal on a rainy night" require scheduling, and the changes in light and shadow require careful attention. In order to create a documentary feel for the film and capture the characters' restless psychological changes, a handheld camera and a zoom lens are also essential.

For this purpose, Pei Ran specially exchanged the ability of "Photography Master" in the system mall.

You can imagine how difficult it was to make this film.

Therefore, the script reading session cannot be skipped.

Before the official shooting begins, you need to find solutions to all the problems you can think of. If you encounter problems during the shooting, you will just take it one step at a time.

……

The script reading lasted for five days.

We started shooting on the sixth day.

Pei Ran did not let Han Jianu be the assistant director, after all, she was indeed lacking in practical ability, but he asked her to follow him throughout the whole process and watch and learn carefully!
Pei Ran concentrated on shooting several scenes in the first few days that were relatively bland and did not require the characters to express their agitated emotions. His aim was to allow the actors to adapt to his shooting style and lay the foundation for subsequent performances of explosive emotions.

This kind of scene is very difficult for the main actors...

Well, that's a bit simple.

Both Deng Chao and Guo Tao felt a little elated about this.

Hehe, Director Pei was so serious during the script reading, but I didn’t expect that after filming started...it wasn’t that difficult to act!

Even Han Jianu couldn't help but feel that directing... wasn't as stressful as she had imagined, because Pei Ran was either drinking tea and smoking in the director's room, or hanging around on the set.

The only thing that made her feel strange was...

Pei Ran would take the initiative to serve as a photographer from time to time.

I don't understand what he is doing. Apart from these people, Yang Mi is probably the one who has the most free time. She doesn't even have any scenes these days. Every day, apart from watching the performances of the leading actors, she just hangs around the set with Pei Ran.

But such leisurely days soon passed.

Ten days after the official start of filming.

Pei Ran began to add shots with strong emotions into his shooting plan.

The strength is iron iron! ! !

Six o'clock in the morning of the eleventh day.

Pei Ran was preparing to shoot the scene where one of the three male protagonists, Deng Xiaofeng, jumped into the water to catch a thief. For this purpose, he chose a smelly and dirty underground sewer.

Then after Deng Chao had prepared himself for the situation, he thought to himself that it didn't matter if it stinked, and he just jumped into the water to take pictures. However, before he could even do a series of actions, he suddenly jumped up, lay on the ground and started vomiting.

It was a little light in the early morning.

The sewers are chilly, bone-chillingly cold, and smelly.

But Pei Ran just let him take a rest and then continued.

At this moment, Deng Chao, who was suffocated by the stinky water... regretted it so much that he wanted to vomit bile. He even regretted that he had boasted to Guo Tao that the filming of the play was easy. Could it be that Pei Ran heard it?
Young people always hold grudges!!!

After resting for more than half an hour.

Deng Chao plucked up the courage to go into the water for the second time.

This time was much better than the first time, but because of the continuous diving without oxygen and without protective equipment, Deng Chao's ears soon began to buzz. He immediately flapped upwards again. The staff who had been arranged in advance saw this and immediately fished him up again.

This time he either scolded the young man or held a grudge.

Instead, he directly scolded Pei Ran. Is he fucking trying to kill someone?

But Pei Ran didn't mind at all. After handing him the towel, he squatted in front of him and rubbed his chin for a while, as if he was thinking about something.

Deng Chao thought he was going to apologize to him.

Who knew Pei Ran would say, "Can't you swim? Why don't we put two stones on our bodies and go into the water, so we can sink faster and deeper!"

Who says there is no perfect murder?!
Isn't that it?!

Deng Chao was so angry that he laughed.

But as soon as I opened my mouth, there was a stinky smell.

He immediately felt like vomiting again...

Almost half an hour passed before he finally recovered from the shock. Then he immediately went to confront Pei Ran again, saying that filming in this way was a joke with the actors' safety!

Pei Ran didn't comment. "I know you're in a hurry, but don't worry now. Filming like this is indeed dangerous. I can agree to let a professional stand-in do it, but then several facial shots won't be able to be filmed."

"They're still filming my face. The water is dirty and smelly, and there's no protective equipment! Why are you waiting for a professionally trained stand-in?!" Deng Chao was very angry. "Director Pei, if you really want me to do it, that's fine."

"Aren't you an actor too? Show me once. As long as you go into the water and complete this series of actions, I won't ask for a stunt double. Even if my life depends on it, I will film this scene for you!!!"

Hearing this, Pei Ran readily agreed.

He stood up and left the director's studio.

Ten minutes later, with Han Jianu, Guo Tao, Duan Yihong and others watching, Pei Ran jumped into the dirty and smelly underground sewer without hesitation...

So, the sound of "Oh my god" was heard everywhere.
