Movie Emperor: When he debuted, he was surrounded by female stars and capital

Chapter 192

The prototype of the Sihang Warehouse in Eight Hundred is in Shanghai,

but it has now become a cultural relic and naturally cannot be used for filming.

So, the crew built a Sihang Warehouse in the Huayi Brothers Film and Television Base in Heshi City,

including the surrounding scenes in history, the dilapidated buildings and streets after the war, etc. were also restored.

At twelve o'clock noon,

after checking in at the hotel where the crew stayed, Qi Jia did not rest and came to the set directly with his assistant.

Of course, he did not come empty-handed when he came. He asked the staff in advance.

Today, there are more than 500 people in the set, including the extras, the leading actors and the staff.

So, he asked the assistant to help buy milk tea, one cup for each person, and spent more than 10,000 yuan.

According to the assistant, in order to complete this big order, the milk tea shop also specially transferred people from surrounding stores.

When they arrived, the crew was having lunch.

Seeing Qi Jia coming, Guan Hu happily stepped forward and praised his dedication.

Then he introduced the other leading actors of the film. Only then did Qi Jia realize how luxurious the crew of "Eight Hundred" was.

Not only were there veteran actors such as Zhang Yi, Jiang Wu, Wang Qianyuan, and Huang Zhizhong, but there were also new generation actors such as Ou Hao, Yu Haoming, Wei Chen, and Tang Yixi.

After greeting each other, everyone started chatting casually.

Qi Jia had high emotional intelligence, did not have the bad temper of young actors, and spoke nicely, so he quickly got along with everyone.

At 1 p.m., the takeaway arrived, and everyone realized that Qi Jia had invited the entire crew to drink milk tea.

My impression of him increased sharply, and I felt that the young man not only had good acting skills and good character, but also was very good at dealing with things, and he would become a great man in the future.

…

At 2 p.m., the crew began to get busy and prepare to start filming.

Qi Jia's play would not start until tomorrow. He played Chen Shusheng with relatively few scenes, and there were only four shots in the whole play.

He came here today mainly to get familiar with the set first, and by the way, see if this luxurious lineup can be replicated in the property.

It must be said that the movie "Eight Hundred" is very well done in terms of costumes, makeup, and scene restoration.

The shit-yellow uniforms worn by the Japanese army, as well as their weapons and equipment, are all reproduced one-to-one according to history.

Next, the group of scenes to be filmed is,

After the initial attack of the Japanese army was frustrated, they sneaked in from the sewer at night,

prepared to create chaos in the warehouse and cooperate with the Japanese army outside to attack.

However, this plan was accidentally discovered by Xiao Duanwu and Lao Suanpan who were preparing to escape.

The guards who were warned immediately picked up their weapons and started a bloody fight with the Japanese army that sneaked into the warehouse.

"Is this the first time to shoot such a large-scale war scene?"

Seeing Qi Jia walking around the set and studying seriously, Zhang Yi asked curiously.

Zhang Yi, who plays Lao Suanpan, wears a pair of small glasses, has loose hair and a sloppy face.

He squats there like a homeless person. This makeup gives people a very real feeling at first glance.

Unlike some anti-Japanese films, the protagonist's face is white without even a speck of dust.

He also has a handsome hairstyle, making the war look like a child's play.

"Yes, Brother Yi, do you have any experience? Please teach me."

Qi Jia also squatted on the ground like Zhang Yi and asked humbly,

"Actually, there is nothing special to pay attention to. Just don't try to find the camera deliberately.

You see, there are at least 12 cameras on at the same time in this scene. You don't know which one will catch you."

Zhang Yi pointed at the machines on standby around the set and said to Qi Jia,

"So, after the start, you should forget that you are filming. Don't panic because you can't find the camera.

Just act according to the script of the character. We are the protagonists, and the camera will take the initiative to find us."

Zhang Yi's words helped Qi Jia a lot. He was really thinking about how to find the camera after the start.

Although he had filmed anti-Japanese dramas in Hengdian before, he was not the protagonist at that time.

Moreover, that drama was a spy war drama, and the war scenes were not as big as those in Eight Hundred. So, if Zhang Yi hadn't reminded him, he really wouldn't have reacted.

"And more." Zhang Yi took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, then handed another one to Qi Jia, and then said, "There are many explosion scenes in this drama. You have to overcome it for your first time shooting. Don't be affected by the explosion sound, and don't get hurt. Although it is a prop, it is still very easy to get hurt if it really explodes on your body." Qi Jia hurriedly took the lighter, and after diligently lighting it for Zhang Yi, he lit it for himself. The two took a puff in sync, and then exhaled a cloud of smoke comfortably. "Thank you, Brother Yi." Qi Jia said gratefully,At this time, Director Guan walked in from outside the warehouse, and his eyes happened to look over here.

After Zhang Yi and Director Guan looked at each other, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and quickly threw the cigarette in his hand on the ground and stepped on it with his foot, and said with a mean smile,

"You're welcome, just don't blame me later."

This made Qi Jia very confused. He didn't even have time to thank him, so how could he blame him?

Before he could be confused for long, he saw Zhang Yi stood up and shouted loudly,

"Director Guan, I report Qi Jia for smoking on the set!"

"Damn it!"

Qi Jia still had a half-smoked cigarette in his hand, and was at a loss for what to do by this sudden scene, and was stunned on the spot.

Then, Director Guan angrily scolded,

"Who smokes on the set? I've told you several times that there are explosives on the set. Go outside to smoke!"

"Qi Jia, right? Come to the stage manager and get him a pack of cigarettes. He can't leave until he finishes it."

"And Zhang Yi, you bastard, don't think I didn't see you. Your cigarette is under your feet. You can't leave tonight without finishing a pack of cigarettes."

...

Thirty minutes later, all the crew members were ready.

Zhang Yi, who played the role of Lao Suanpan, Ou Hao, who played the role of Xiao Duanwu, and a group member were also in place by the sewer.

The props team began to set off cigarette cakes around the set to create a murderous feeling of smoke on the battlefield.

"All departments are ready. Count down to three, two, one to start!"

Guan Hu put down the script in his hand, put on headphones, and sat in front of the monitor.

As Guan Hu finished speaking, the board beater began to beat the board,

"Eight Hundred, twelve shots in three scenes, Ike God~"

As the words fell,

The monitor showed an empty shot of the sewer, and at the same time, a heavy gasp came from the headset.

I saw Xiao Duanwu, played by Ou Hao, wading in the water and slowly entering the camera from the right side.

Ou Hao debuted as a singer and later moved to the film and television industry. His performances in several works were remarkable.

Especially in "The Founding of an Army", he played the young General Ye Ting, which left a deep impression on people.

In the monitor, the camera was following Xiao Duanwu's back, slowly swimming towards the exit.

Xiao Duanwu looked up and looked around vigilantly from time to time, fearing that he would be discovered.

This subtle facial expression, coupled with his heavy breathing, made people unconsciously nervous.

Guan Hu looked at it and nodded, without calling for a stop, and picked up the intercom and said,

"No. 8 machine is ready, Zhang Yi and the extras are ready to enter the camera."

After receiving the prompt, Zhang Yi and the extras around him immediately went into the water.

The three of them quietly moved along the sewer, but when they were not far from the exit, they encountered the Japanese army who came for a night attack.

In a hurry, the three had to dive into the water to avoid it.

After the Japanese army passed, Xiao Duanwu and Lao Suanpan dared to surface, while the other person had already drowned underwater.

"Ka!"

After shooting the scene of the Japanese army landing, Guan Hu picked up the loudspeaker and shouted.

The remaining scene of Xiao Duanwu and the other two escaping from the sewer was left to be reshot at night because the script was set at night.

Next, we will shoot the scene of the fierce battle between the defenders and the Japanese army in the warehouse.
