Chapter five hundred and thirty fifth big scene
In September, in order to welcome the National Day military parade on October 1, the capital entered a state of tension and joy.?
This military parade was just at the turn of the century, and it was able to fully demonstrate the country's overall strength and was of great significance. It is also called the "Century Military Parade".
Lin Zixuan originally planned to show this scene in the sequel to "Desire" so that the actors can stand in the crowd to witness this historic moment, but it is very troublesome to operate in detail.
The people on site are designated in any position and cannot be arranged separately.
Even if the actors can stand together, the film crew will not be allowed to enter the venue to shoot.
That is a military parade, it is a very serious occasion. What's the matter with making movies? The management is quite strict in this regard.
The entire live broadcast of the military parade is under the responsibility of China Television Station, which will not specifically shoot several shots for a movie in such a major live program.
This is not a worthwhile thing, but a political task, who will be responsible for any matter.
In other words, there is definitely no way to shoot on the day of the military parade, so I can only shoot a few days in advance and then process and edit it later.
After mid-September, the masses in the capital began to rehearse the military parade.
For ordinary people living in the capital, they have become accustomed to this, as long as there are major festivals.
After communication from the crew, the masses are willing to cooperate.
Especially when I heard that it was filming the sequel to "Desire", everyone was very enthusiastic and expressed that they would support the crew's shooting work. Some people even wanted to show their faces in the movie.
On the day of the military parade, more than 500,000 people from the capital will participate in the celebration.
What is the concept of 500,000?
Once the number of people exceeds ten thousand, it gives people a very large feeling. If 500,000 people gather together, there is no limit.
Of course, it would not be realistic that 500,000 people would not appear at the same time during rehearsals, and it would be divided into more than a dozen batches of rehearsals.
There are 30,000 today and 30,000 tomorrow, and batches are mainly to determine the positions of each team. Don’t stand in the wrong position at that time, otherwise it is easy for 500,000 people to make problems without prior arrangements.
To be honest, this opportunity is very rare, and it is not easy to find tens of thousands of extras.
One is that it costs too much. According to the calculation of an extra actor 30 yuan a day, 30,000 people are 900,000. Besides, it takes a lot of effort to get 30,000 people to line up in a neat row.
Moreover, there are no so many extras in the capital, unless they are filming large-scale war scenes and letting the soldiers of the army cooperate.
Generally speaking, extras who can use thousands of people to make movies are considered big scenes.
If it weren't for this military parade, such a scene wouldn't have been captured at all.
Even though I had communicated in advance, I still encountered some trouble during the on-site shooting, and the masses were too enthusiastic.
Seeing actors such as Zhang Kaili and Li Xuejian coming, everyone gathered around and greeted him warmly.
Some people shouted the names of "Liu Huifang" and "Song Dacheng", and the atmosphere was extremely warm.
It can be seen from this that "Desire" has a very high status in the minds of the people in the capital. Although it has been ten years, this drama has long been imprinted in the hearts of the people.
However, it’s okay if dozens of people gathered around, but there were tens of thousands of people, and the crew seemed to fall into the crowd.
If this continues, the scene may be out of control.
This is the first time Lin Xiaoling has filmed such a big scene and has no experience. Fortunately, the crew has prepared a loudspeaker, which is used for command and dispatch during filming.
She asked the assistant director to hand a loudspeaker to Zhang Kaili, and asked Zhang Kaili to say a few words to calm everyone's emotions.
At this time, the director's speech was not good, and no one knew who the director was, so it was still necessary for Zhang Kaili to speak to work.
Zhang Kaili first thanks everyone for her support, and then asks the public to understand that the crew still has to film, so it is impossible to film around, so I will chat with everyone after filming.
There were also people in charge of leading the masses to rehearse and armed police soldiers around, and the situation was stabilized with everyone's joint efforts.
It’s just that the masses are too enthusiastic and it’s okay if they say it.
The old actors in the crew experienced the sensation caused by "Desire" ten years ago. At that time, they could be recognized wherever they went, which was incredible.
The scene just now seemed to have reappeared yesterday, which made them feel deeply moved.
For young actors, I saw the enthusiasm of the masses and was frightened and full of confidence in the movie.
"Mom, you are so awesome. They just said a few words and they dispersed." Gao Yuanyuan said in admiration.
In the play, Gao Yuanyuan and Zhang Kaili are mother-daughter relationships. They have been acting for more than two months. The two get along well. Sometimes Gao Yuanyuan also calls him this, which looks friendly.
"Where do you listen to me? They listen to Liu Huifang." Zhang Kaili responded.
This sentence reveals a sense of helplessness. The role of Liu Huifang has made Zhang Kaili successful and restricted Zhang Kaili.
The crew spent half a day to adjust the crowd's team. Although the 30,000 people couldn't make it look crowded, they could achieve similar effects by elongating the camera.
The masses should cheer, as if they were watching a military parade.
As we watched a group of troops pass by, a sense of pride came naturally. Although we can't see it now, we can imagine the scene at that time.
This is the difficulty of filming. Actors may be able to do it, but extras may not be the case.
It is not an easy thing to make 30,000 people cheer at the same time and have a full mood. It requires constant attempts.
Some people felt tired after shouting for a while, so they stopped shouting, and some just sat aside to rest.
Everyone was a little fresh at the beginning and thought filming was fun, but they didn't think so after an hour or two. They were not extras, they didn't take money, they were voluntarily helping, and the crew could not force them.
The picture taken in this way is not ideal enough, and there is no feeling of being excited.
The key is that the atmosphere is not enough. If it is really at the military parade, the masses will definitely be in full mood.
Lin Xiaoling thought about it and decided not to shoot panoramic views. She directly used the military parade scenes broadcast live on China TV stations. Now she mainly shot the starring actors in the mass team.
By the time the video is completed, this shot will probably only take three minutes, but it is quite difficult to shoot.
It took a day to finish the filming, and the actors and crew members were exhausted.
There are two big scenes in the sequel to "Desire", one is the military parade and the other is the celebration of the arrival of the millennium.
In the currently confirmed script, the Millennium celebration is the end of the film.
As the new year begins, the streets and alleys of the capital are filled with celebratory crowds, and countless happy faces appear in the camera, which are finally frozen on Zhang Kaili's slightly old face.
Liu Huifang accompanied the audience into the next century. (To be continued.)8
