“Action!”
"Card!"
“Action!”
"Pass!"
Life on the set is like this, scene after scene, sometimes it’s done in one or two takes, sometimes it has to be NGed a few times for various reasons, but it always gets done in the end.
Three months is neither long nor short.
People like Hu Yanqing and Zhang Youming have finished filming all their scenes, so they don't need to come again. If there are any shots that need to be re-shot, we will notify them at the end to come and shoot it all in one go.
Yan Zi, An Feiyu and others stayed in the crew for three full months.
As of today, there are only two scenes left. One is a road racing scene, but this scene has nothing to do with the actors.
After all, it’s no problem for these actors to drive their own cars, but it would be too difficult for them to drive sports cars to a competition.
Even Huang Peng, who is known to have the best driving skills, is not good enough, so the shots of this group of sports cars competing with each other on the road were actually hired by the crew at a high price from a professional racing team.
As for the shots where the actors are sitting in the cars, these sports cars are driven onto a large trailer. It looks like the actors are sitting in the cars and are shaking a lot, but in fact it is the trailer underneath that is shaking.
If you only consider the unit price, these professional drivers earn much more per hour than the protagonists like Yan Zi.
Huang Peng said he was going to the scene to supervise and left with a photography crew. As for his little thoughts, everyone knew about it, but no one said anything.
After three months of spending time together day and night, everyone became good friends. Of course, this did not affect our director Guo Liangcai from scolding people on the set.
"Yanzi, you're a racing girl with a natural talent for racing. When you play a racing game, could you please not turn with your body? Also, every time the camera pans across your screen, you're either crashing into a pillar or flipping over."
Guo Liangcai was also helpless. This last scene had been NGed many times, but there was no improvement at all.
"Director, I'm really not good at this~this~this is not something that can be achieved by just working hard~" Yan Zi said with a sad face. In order to shoot the scene of her playing the racing game, she asked Feng Xiaoyun to buy a game console and put it next to the crew.
When she has nothing to do, she will go up to practice, but it should be said that she really has no talent. Anyway, the game time is so long that it has only been extended from one minute to more than one minute and ten seconds, and then it is GAMEOVER!
At this point, Guo Liangcai could only helplessly ask, "What should we do then? How about we just shoot your profile as you sit in front of the game console, leaving your hands and the screen out of the shot? We can also have an expert play and synthesize your in-game controls later."
"No need, Director Guo. I can actually find a body double." Yan Zi stood behind the game console and gestured, "When the time comes, your camera will be here, he'll be sitting here, and he'll be playing the game here. If you raise the camera, you can capture his back, his hands, and the game screen from above."
"Of course this would be perfect, but where can our crew find such a stand-in?"
In this drama, except for the racing scenes, all the characters were played by themselves, and no stand-ins were used. This includes Yan Zi repairing the car and An Feiyu modifying the car. They were all guided by a master invited from the car repair shop, and the two of them personally took the tools and did the actual filming.
So there was no such thing as a substitute at all.
"Feng Xiaoyun, come here!" Yan Zi pointed at Feng Xiaoyun who was moving backwards.
"What? Again?" Feng Xiaoyun was standing aside and listening. The more he listened, the more he felt something was wrong. He had a bad premonition, so he was moving back to escape. Unexpectedly, his thought came true. How could Yan Zi, who had noticed his little movements a long time ago, let him go?
"Xiao Yun? Will this work?" Guo Liangcai asked without confidence.
"Hey, let me tell you a secret. In the I Dare series I filmed for Oxygen, due to an injury, several of the sports shots were enhanced by Feng Xiaoyun. Didn't you notice?"
Yan Zi proudly told everyone about Feng Xiaoyun's achievements, as if it was a glorious thing.
"Besides, there's a similar racing game in town, and Feng Xiaoyun broke their record on his first try, so there's definitely no problem letting him participate."
"You, you didn't plan this in advance, did you?" Feng Xiaoyun asked in a low voice.
"What are you talking about? Isn't this for the movie? If I could have fun on my own, why would I need you?" Yan Zi pulled Feng Xiaoyun's sleeve and shook it gently, "Just help him."
This was his trump card. Yan Zi discovered that as long as he acted coquettishly, Feng Xiaoyun would lose all his weapons and be defeated.
Sure enough, seeing Yan Zi acting like a spoiled brat again, Feng Xiaoyun could only slap his forehead and say, "I really encountered this!"
After changing into Yan Zi's overalls, Feng Xiaoyun was much taller and the pants became cropped pants, but since his feet couldn't be photographed anyway, it didn't matter.
After putting on a wig and tidying up his hair, Feng Xiaoyun sat down and tried to raise his shoulders as much as possible.
Guo Liangcai took a look at the monitor and said, "Hey, if I hadn't known it in advance, I really wouldn't have been able to tell."
"Good, good, start shooting!"
It's just a back view anyway, and no acting skills are required. Feng Xiaoyun just needs to play this game well.
And for the sake of effect, Feng Xiaoyun also used fancy drifting techniques when turning and overtaking.
Of course, for the needs of the plot, he could not drive in first place, but third place, so when he was about to reach the finish line, he waited for a while, and finally controlled the car in the game to get third place. Anyway, these shots still need to be edited.
