Chapter 195 First time shooting the drama of jumping off a building (Ch 195)

After a night’s rest, the next morning, Qi Jia’s scenes finally started filming.

At eight o’clock in the morning, after arriving at the set on time and changing into clothes, the makeup artist came over to help Qi Jia put on makeup.

Since it is a war film, the soldiers’ makeup mainly pursues a “dusty and dirty face” to highlight the difficulty of the war!

After the makeup artist spent more than half an hour putting Qi Jia’s makeup on, she took a closer look and felt unsatisfied.

So, after seeking Qi Jia’s consent.

She picked up a basin of dust and sifted it over Qi Jia’s head a few times, then nodded with satisfaction.

Seeing that the makeup was done, Guan Hu waved and called him to his side, saying patiently,

“You have two scenes today, a total of four shots, let’s shoot the first one first.

When I say start, Xiaohubei and I will run to this hole to watch.”

Guan Hu pointed to a hole in the wall behind him and continued,

“At this time, you come out and push the two people to a safe place.

At this point, you have to have an observation action, just like me, understand?”

Guan Hu said, and demonstrated it again in person. Qi Jia nodded.

“Then, come over here. You have a final scene of jumping off a building. We will tie up the wires on you then…”

…

At 9:30, the crew was ready, and the props team started lighting fires and setting off fireworks everywhere.

The scene we are going to shoot today tells the story of the Japanese army organizing a new attack the day after the failed night attack.

Under the cover of shields, they approached the warehouse and planned to use explosives to directly blow up the wall.

After discovering their intention, the defenders began to fight desperately.

However, due to the lack of heavy weapons, ordinary bullets could not penetrate the shield at all, and the grenades thrown down were also bounced off by the shield.

In a critical situation, Chen Shusheng, played by Qi Jia, tied a bomb on his body.

Then he leaped down, used his own weight to smash the shield and died together with the Japanese demolition team!

“Each department, check the machines. Count down from three to one. Turn on the machines!”

Following the director’s order, the clapboard master immediately hit the clapboard.

All twelve cameras were turned on at the same time, and the originally quiet set was suddenly filled with gunfire!

Outside the warehouse, the extras playing the Japanese soldiers, carrying steel plates, began to approach the warehouse under the cover of fire.

Inside the building, the extras playing the roles of the defenders began to run along a pre-set route.

“What are you doing?” Xiao Qiyue saw Xiao Hubei looking out, and ran over anxiously and pushed him away.

Little Hubei shivered and said, “Brother July, this is a weird car.”

There was nothing wrong with their performances. Guan Hu nodded and picked up the intercom and said,

“Camera No. 9 gives the camera to Qi Jia, he is ready to go.”

At the same time, Qi Jia had already prepared himself off camera, and all the muscles in his body were adjusted to the best condition.

He kept hypnotizing himself in his mind, telling himself that he was on the battlefield now and he was Chen Shusheng!

This is a kind of psychological hint that can help actors get into the role more quickly and better immerse themselves in the performance.

After receiving the assistant director’s prompt, Qi Jia immediately followed the instructions and quickly entered the camera with his back bent.

He ran all the way behind Xiao Qiyue and pushed him away, cursing anxiously,

“You don’t want to live anymore, get out of the way!”

At this time, his emotions had completely entered into the role of Chen Shusheng.

After pushing Xiao Qiyue away, he did not stick his head out to look outside, but instead looked at the two children with concern.

I felt relieved when I saw that the two men were not injured except for being a little panicked.

In front of the monitor,

Guan Hu frowned when he saw Qi Jia’s action, but after thinking about it, he understood.

Chen Shusheng pushed Xiao Qiyue away because he was worried that they would get hurt. If he didn’t even look at them afterwards, it would seem a bit ignorant.

After Qi Jia added such a worried look, the whole scene became more smooth.

This detail was overlooked when he was explaining the play, but he didn’t expect that he actually noticed it. This made Guan Hu nod in satisfaction at Qi Jia’s intelligence.

…

At 11:56, the morning scene ended, and Qi Jia copied to 30 attributes again.

They are [Anger +5] copied from Ou Hao,

The [Fear +10] and [Pain +10] copied to Jiang Wu,

And the [Death +5] copied from an extra.

After a short break, we continued shooting.

For this final scene, Qi Jia has three shots. If everything goes well, he can finish filming today.

At 2:40 pm, the machine officially started.

Everything went smoothly, and Qi Jia successfully shot two scenes.

There is only one last shot left, which is also the most exciting and tragic shot of the character Chen Shusheng in the whole film.

After discovering that grenades could not hurt the Japanese demolition soldiers, Chen Shusheng reported the situation to the company commander.

Ignoring the obstruction, he tied up a grenade, jumped down from the building, and died together with the Japanese.

“Eight Hundred, seventy-fourth mirror, five games, three times, Ike God~”

As the countdown by the board beater ended,

Qi Jia, holding a bundle of grenades, trotted over to the company commander.

“They are going to blow up the building. Once the building explodes, we will all be finished!”

Because he was completely immersed in the role, when he said this line, Qi Jia’s eyes revealed a look of determination and anxiety.

Coupled with the noisy gunfire and explosions around him, in order to make the company commander hear clearly, he almost roared while speaking this line.

Such realistic acting made Guan Hu, who was watching on the monitor, nod his head repeatedly.

The extras who played the company commanders stared at Qi Jia blankly, and for a moment they were shocked by the determination in his eyes.

The only shred of rationality he had left told him that this was just acting and he shouldn’t take it seriously.

But when he and Qi Jia looked at each other, he could clearly feel the determination to face death in the other’s eyes!

For a moment, he couldn’t tell whether he was filming a movie or on a real battlefield.

Qi Jia didn’t know the psychological reaction of the extras at this time. He continued to perform without hearing the director’s call for stop.

He held the captain’s hand tightly, handed him the suicide note, looked at him firmly, and shouted,

“Give it to my mom!”

After saying that, he saluted the other party, then resolutely picked up the grenade on the ground and walked towards the hole.

“Unit 5, cut out. Someone, go up and tie Qi Jia up with the wire immediately. Once you’re ready, start immediately.”

As soon as Guan Hu finished speaking, several staff members rushed out and quickly tied the wire around Qi Jia.

“Unit 5, follow up. Close-up of Qi Jia’s back. The prop team is preparing to detonate the blood bag.”

Seeing that everything was ready, Guan Hu grabbed the walkie-talkie and spoke again, with a hint of excitement in his tone, expecting Qi Jia to give him a high-energy shot.

The camera follows Qi Jia’s back, slowly zooming in.

I saw him hang the grenade around his neck and shake his head left and right to adjust the position.

“Chen Shusheng!”

As a voice-over came, this was the signal agreed upon before filming, and Qi Jia decisively pulled the fuse of the grenade.

He walked to the hole without hesitation, and then several gunshots were heard.

Qi Jia staggered twice, simulating the state of his body bearing the impact of the bullet after being shot.

From the monitor,

Almost at the same time, when Qi Jia reacted to being shot,

Several small holes were blown out at several places on his shoulders and back, and blood flowed out of them.

“Unit 5, follow up, quick!”

Guan Hu was so nervous that he stood up and roared. As the camera followed, the monitor showed the scene of Qi Jia jumping down.

The first time he filmed a jumping scene, Qi Jia was shaking with excitement.

In fact, he had already lost his temper when he stood on the edge. There was nothing he could do; it was four or five stories high and he was really scared.

But thinking that he could finish the filming as soon as possible, he gritted his teeth and jumped down.

Feeling the wind whistling in his ears and the wires on his body tightening rapidly, Qi Jia had only one thought in his mind:

“God bless me, I must pass this one.”

In front of the monitor,

Guan Hu looked at it, rubbed his chin and thought for a while, then felt that Qi Jia’s dancing was not graceful enough, so he grabbed the intercom and shouted,

“Okay, click!”

“Pull Qi Jia back and jump again.”
