Chapter 31: Fatty Qian goes to the movies 3. Rolling shots

Three, rolling lens

Director Wang laughed and said, "Principal Qian, you're so unpopular." Director Qian said arrogantly: "Of course! You have made this movie "The Fatty Qian" and I can guarantee that it will be very popular as soon as it is launched. At least there are more than one billion fat people in the world to watch."

"Why?" Director Wang asked.

"Well, you didn't think about it. My film is about labor slimming. You think fat people are in a hurry to lose weight now. I teach them a way to lose weight in the movie, and it will be an immediate effect. Do you think fat people can't watch it?"

Director Wang was very interested in the way the fat men carried water up the mountain just now. He said: "I want to collect special shots of the fat men carried water up the mountain."

Director Qian asked: "What stunt shot?"

He smiled and said, "You have to lead the fat guys to perform this special stunt shot."

Director Qian asked further: "Let me lead the fat guys to carry water up the mountain?"

"Yes, but there is another point. Look at the hillside with a slope of 35 degrees. If the fat guys are allowed to carry water up the mountain and fall down, they will roll down the hillside, which may be very beautiful." Director Wang said.

Director Qian raised his hand and touched his forehead and said, "Then I fell down and rolled down the hillside, and I would be injured if I was going to be hung on the lottery."

Director Wang added: "The camera can be broken down and you only need to perform a move that starts falling. As for the camera rolling down, I can just use an inflatable dummy to roll down."

Director Qian also asked with some doubts: "I don't want to be injured or bleeding because of acting in a movie." Director Wang further persuaded: "No, don't worry, I won't let you get hurt."

The next day, under Director Wang's repeated persuasion, Director Qian finally agreed to lead the fat men to carry water up the mountain to the audition. Director Qian carried the bucket and led the fat men to the shooting scene. Director Wang asked the fat men to put down the pick on his shoulder and listened to his explanation of the plot.

Director Wang's head was shiny and shiny. He was wearing a pair of color-changing glasses and a red sweater. He stood on the slope of a small mountain road and began to speak.

He said: "Today, this shot was taken on this slope of the mountain. The fat man rolled the water. The significance of this shot is to reflect that it was very difficult for fat men to fetch water on the mountain at the beginning. They accidentally fell to the ground, people rolled, and buckets rolled, and several fat men rolled down from the mountain in one dragon.

The fat men persevered in a difficult environment and continued to work. Later, they became thinner and they were able to do it. They carried buckets and went up the mountain smoothly. The movies we made were composed of many such, funny, moving and eye-catching shots." After he said that, he directed his staff to prepare for the audition work.

The crew members laid a thick layer of straw recording mats on the hillside road. These mats were what fat people learned to roll. Then Director Wang asked Director Qian and five fat people to stand on the mats carrying buckets, and Director Wang taught them the rolling movements.

Director Qian was carrying a bucket and stood at the top of the line. Behind him were Fatty Wu, Fatty Li, Fatty Sun.

He paused for a moment and continued to explain: "The shot of a fat man carrying water up the mountain is divided into three sections. The first section is a scene of a real person falling down and rolling. This shot only takes more than ten seconds in the movie, but in these ten seconds, every actor must perform the real image, in the local dialect, it is like that.

The second section is the scene of crew members rolling down the hillside with six inflatable dummies holding their heads. There are also six buckets of water rolling in front of the six dummies.

The third section of the road was that six buckets had rolled to the roots of the mountain and stopped moving. Six fat men got up from the ground and touched the big bag on their heads and spoke in pain."

After Director Wang finished explaining the plot, six fat men began to audition. The scene of six fat men falling and rolling down was carefully guided by Director Wang and the stage artist. It took two days to practice dozens of times before Director Wang got a satisfactory scene.

Let’s talk about the shooting process of the third section. Fatty Qian got up from the ground and touched the big bag on his head with one hand, and said, “Fatty, how did you fall?”

The fat men got up from the ground one by one and said, "hum", "hum", "ha" and "ha" and said, "It hurts!" Among them, Fat Li said angrily, "I quit. I'm not trying to kill myself?" Fat Qian advised, "Persevere, and the camera will be taken."
