Chapter 865 Extra 6: Scenery of Hanshan Lake, Talk on a Snowy Night
Changing the cast at the last minute is never a good thing, but the crew is happier all, the one who got replaced was Chen An!
The project that was originally scheduled to start in 19 faced suspension due to the arrival of the cold winter.
The current market recovery is not very good, and the crew members are under a lot of pressure.
After all, investing is indeed unusual.
But the situation is different when the main general is replaced by Chen An.
"Director Chen, I didn't expect to be able to work with you again in this life."
Huang Jianxing stretched out his hand and happily shook hands with Chen An.
Chen An looked at Huang Jianxing, whose temples were gray. Although he still smiled, he couldn't help but feel a sense of vicissitudes of life. They were both old.
"I was given a mission in a time of crisis. I'm under a lot of pressure. I'll have to take more trouble." Chen An smiled and nodded: "Fortunately, my senior brother didn't cause me any trouble, otherwise I would be in a lot of trouble too."
When I received the call from my senior brother Chen, I was stunned, just like Huang Jianxing who is now shocked.
"What did he say?"
“I hope I can make a good movie.”
Chen An replied truthfully.
Brother Chen Kai probably understood what he meant, and he called Chen An just when he was thinking about whether he should communicate with him. After all, he was the person he learned from during his development.
Regardless of his reputation, my senior brother is always kind to me.
It is not easy to make such a proud person praise himself repeatedly in front of the media.
Although Huang Jianxing looked as if he had seen an alien, he still said, "Brother Kai is very magnanimous and puts the overall situation first. He is a role model for our generation."
Not to mention the opponent, even if I were replaced at the last minute, I would not be able to bear it, let alone the opponent who has always been so arrogant.
As he spoke, he pulled himself into the crew. There was a facial recognition system at the door, and Chen An's face had already been recorded.
Special times require special treatment.
"Changjin Lake" is divided into two parts, and the sequel "Changjin Lake: Watergate Bridge" will be filmed together.
Therefore, the shooting period was extended, and the minimum required was more than six months.
Hanshan Lake, with a solitary boat floating on the turquoise water, is breathtakingly beautiful, and the beauty of thousands of mountains and rivers is vividly displayed!
The one returning by boat is a sturdy soldier, gazing at his hometown which seems both far away and close at hand.
A gust of wind blew by, lifting his tightly pressed hat and blowing the hem of his clothes.
Behind me, the lake water is as green as the mountains and rolling. Under the sunlight, the waves are shimmering like countless beautiful emeralds!
"Okay, click!" Chen An shouted while sitting behind the monitor with the intercom in hand.
There were many people sitting next to me watching.
Huang Jianxing clapped his hands happily all the time, "Great, once a master makes a move, there will be nothing left!"
"The colors and composition are really as good as they say. This simple scene of the beautiful scenery of Hanshan Lake is fully captured in the painting."
Xu Ke and Lin Chaoxian next to them looked at each other and nodded.
The two practical people from Hong Kong Island couldn't help but be convinced by the top level of Chen An, the academician.
When it comes to audio-visual color composition, Chen An, the world-renowned director, is indeed worthy of his reputation.
Chen An smiled faintly. From "Run Lola Run" he had gained a new sensitivity to colors that he had never felt before in his life. Perhaps it was the benefit of being reborn. He was definitely gifted.
It is not false that the rumor outside world says that he inherited the strengths of Zhang and Chen, although it took him more than ten years to finally find his own way.
"It's just a beginning, it doesn't mean much, but it's a good start."
"Yes, the project has finally officially started."
"continue."
Each of the three directors said something, expressing that it was a perfect start, and that this project with the largest investment to date had finally started.
The filming of this movie is a complicated job. Not only are there many characters, but the number of extras added up to several thousand, and more will need to be added later. There are many locations and shooting locations, etc. It is an absolutely large project.
Although Chen An is the chief director, he is not fully responsible for the project. The three directors have clear responsibilities.
Everyone has his own strengths, although Chen An's experience shows that he is omnipotent.
But he is still only responsible for the overall color, picture composition and other major aspects of the film.
The rest was left to the remaining two people, such as large-scale war scenes, which were naturally Dante Lam's strong point.
Naturally, the other party will have full command.
Chen An also learned a lot from Xu Ke's elegant camera language and Lin Chaoxian's ability to direct large scenes.
He believes that his current achievements are due to his strong learning ability, in addition to his ability to cheat and get free scripts.
The three major awards are not won just by having a good plot. Without some solid foundation, it’s all in vain.
As time approached the end of December, snowflakes began to fall from the sky, drifting down like goose feathers, countless.
It is undoubtedly arduous for filming, and the harsh environment is also a severe challenge for the actors.
Chen An put on a down jacket and hid in a small shed temporarily built by the crew with Xu Ke and Lin Chaoxian.
The wind was freezing cold, making the doors bang. The three of them felt the chill as they discussed the next scene to be filmed. The scene was being set up and the actors were keeping warm.
The three of them each held a cup of hot tea, and after spending some time together, they became familiar with each other.
The two directors from Hong Kong also abandoned the filters they had always had from their peers towards Chen An.
After all, the title of "Dragon Blocking the River" in the mainland is not false.
"What a sin! In this weather, these actors will suffer from now on."
Under the incandescent light above his head, Chen An took a sip of hot ginger tea and exhaled a thick white mist.
Xu Ke was wearing a green military coat that Chen An had given him. He liked it very much and wore it all day long while giving orders everywhere.
"The weather still had a serious impact on the filming, but it was already taken into consideration."
"Besides, actors nowadays are too spoiled. It's not like the old days in Hong Kong where you just had to do the job and get paid the money."
Hearing this, Lin Chaoxian couldn't help but nod his head: "Indeed, but our crew is already able to endure hardships. With Director Chen here, just listen obediently!"
"Hahaha!"
The three of them couldn't help but burst into laughter, adding a touch of heroism to the snowy night.
As directors, the three are relatively authoritarian. The actors in the crew are indeed very famous, and the new generation of the Mesozoic era have great box office appeal.
When such actors reach this level, they often unconsciously oppose the director. They may be better at their own performance, but the director is considering the overall film.
Especially the two who are from Hong Kong Island, they have deep understanding of this, as they have faced many big names.
Of course, this doesn't mean that this kind of situation cannot happen at all. The communication can be mainly with the director. If it's really good, it's not unacceptable. But if it's someone like Jiang Wen, I really want to fight on the spot.
But it’s different with Chen An around. With him around, they can have a good chat. If the three directors can communicate, then it’s fine. If not, Chen An can basically solve it with just a look.
This is an internationally renowned dictatorial director. No one can stop him, even the top Hollywood stars have to stand aside!
"I'll be out for the next two days, and the crew will be handed over to you two." Chen An chuckled and said, "I've learned a lot from you two these days, and I can say that I've gained a lot."
"How can we ask Director Chen to learn from us?" Lin Chaoxian waved his hands quickly.
Xu Ke took a sip of hot tea and joked: "Let's learn from each other. I've learned a lot from Director Chen anyway."
Although I am old, I still feel itchy when I see Chen An constructing the picture with just a glance.
He can be considered an academic, but Chen An's skills are truly amazing.
I don’t know whether to say that Beijing Film Academy has a solid foundation that far exceeds that of the University of Texas or that the other party is indeed gifted.
You can tell he is really good at what he does after watching his movies, and when you get to the set and see he can arrange things with just a glance, you can't help but admire him.
