Chapter 1250: Chapter 1241 Trouble (1)
After the script was revised, the final version was confirmed here.
The role of the second male lead was originally meant for someone else, but it didn’t matter to Xia Siyu, who was determined to play the role according to the original character setting.
The scene with the big explosion required the entire castle to be blown up. Many of the mechanisms were already shot in an indoor set back in the country. For example, the part in the heroine’s brother’s dungeon wasn’t feasible for Director Ji to actually dig up a real dungeon in a short time, nor to create a winding tunnel, especially since they were abroad. Anyway, the audience wouldn’t know what comes after a bend in the tunnel, so shooting in the set locally could perfectly present it.
However, for the whole building’s collapse, Director Ji still wanted to film it on location. During the early preparations, they perfectly replicated a similar historical building from the area in a one-to-one scale.
Constructing the building took some time, and many of the gunfight scenes had already been eliminated in the martial arts scenes from the previous days.
This time, it’s the last time, everything must be destroyed in one blast.
This shot is very important and must be done in one take. After all, once it’s blown up, you can’t recreate an exact replica to shoot again. Since it’s on-location and not in a set or post-production, the handling here requires great attention.
The heroine and the second male lead are stuck at the crack in the ground, which is right at the entrance, with both of them half-buried in dirt. Although the steel bar that appears very thick on their bodies is actually just plastic, and the bricks pressing on them are plywood and foam painted to look real.
However, they are indeed buried in the dirt. The director instructed the props team to dig a pit for them. If the heroine’s fall needs to be filmed, she would tumble into a two-meter deep pit.
The conditions are very harsh, and it must be done in one take. Every single link, every single line, including the extras participating in the shoot, must not make any mistakes.
Before shooting this scene, everyone was under a lot of pressure.
But the pressure was even greater because someone came to visit during the final scene.
It was Jiang Bumei.
This is the last scene. Once it’s shot, Jiang Jiahe has to attend the selection contest for the Idol Training Camp. After the film is completed, post-production and the wait for its release might take one or two years. He is set to debut, with his family undoubtedly setting up the path for him long ago. Director Ji’s movie is to be shot first, and once completed, he’ll participate in the six-month Idol selection. Upon his predetermined debut, he’ll also have to participate in group performances for half a year to one year.
Of course, during the gaps between these group performances, he can also take on some film and television roles.
After the performances end, the movie should be ready for release.
