Behind-the-scenes production of China's ceremonial soldiers

In creative shooting, the director of the play created some spectacular angles for the actors' modeling, lineup size and shooting angle. The film crew invited 200 main officers and men of the honor guards of the three armed forces to participate with the crew for a long time, and also convened nearly 10,000 officers and men to ensure the excellent effect of the TV series. The drama is also the best of its kind in shooting skills, personnel and weapons and equipment, and has formed the following three characteristics: "Military green picture" is the first major feature of this TV series shooting. This is also a brand-new picture style carefully designed and created by director Xiaoxin Zeng for this film. Firstly, it tells the audience intuitively: This is a story about military theme, which makes you attracted by this novel picture. People who make movies and TV series have such a wish; That is, "the film I made must be watched by someone, not only because I like it, but also because I am tired of it." Director Xiaoxin Zeng tried his best to repay the audience who made this film. In the design description of the story, he conceived, created and directed the play according to the script line and his own style. When telling plays to actors, he always uses inspiration and discussion to let actors give full play to their acting skills, perform according to the characters and picture effects he designed, and shape the perfection of the story. In the selection of actors, he is particularly picky, even if he is an insignificant little role, he never gives in to the overall effect of the picture. In terms of shooting quality, he is even more strict, never letting go of a small flaw, sometimes shooting a scene more than ten times. If it really doesn't work, he will personally set up a machine to guide the shooting. In this way, when he was filming this drama, his voice was hoarse and his lips were bruised, but he still insisted on shooting and directing this drama on the first line. Executive producer Chen Dongdong, cameraman Shark Wang, artist Wang Hongjun and other department heads are also eight immortals crossing the sea to meet the director's requirements, and they all try their best to ensure the "military green picture" and the requirements of shooting quality, regardless of the selection and setting of scenes, the purchase and production of props and costumes. "Actors perform military actions in place, smoke-free play" is the second major feature of this TV series. As we all know, the main feature of China's ceremonial soldiers is "March forward, quick march", which is incomparable to other arms. When the director Xiaoxin Zeng created and filmed this drama, he not only carefully designed and described the story between the hero and heroine in the drama, but also asked professional actors to learn paramilitary movements from the ceremonial soldiers to ensure the neatness and unity of the picture during the performance. What does this play attract the audience? Zeng Dao believes that in addition to telling stories, he mainly relies on the strong militancy of ceremonial officers and soldiers to attract the audience through many multi-angle shooting pictures, shocking the audience's sight and heart. This stumbles the actors: whether they have been in the army or not, whether they have a military training foundation or not, they must learn from the guard of honor to move forward, March in a hurry, hold a gun, fire a gun, turn left, turn right, go backwards, shout a password and so on. Fan Tong, the actor who plays the captain of the whole day, Pan Wuyao, the actor who plays the flag-bearer Yan Lu, and Gao Zhiqiang, Ma Jun and Ma Rui, the military actors of the comrades-in-arms drama troupe, must be trained in strict accordance with the military action standards of the guard of honor to ensure the neat and powerful momentum of paramilitary actions and achieve the effect of visual impact. On the other hand, in order to keep the picture clean, Zeng Dao boldly conceived and abandoned the bad habits of not smoking, telling stories and performing in previous TV dramas. In these eight episodes of TV series, he forbade actors to smoke and perform, making this TV series truly a "smoke-free drama". "Paramilitary exercises" is the third feature of this TV series. In order to shoot this TV series well, the film crew invited nearly 200 main officers and men of the honor guard of the Chinese People's Liberation Army to follow the crew for a long time. Cheng Zhiqiang, the battalion chief, went to the shooting scene many times and personally mobilized troops to cooperate with the shooting. More than 300 officers and men of the Beijing Military Region Special Brigade, a women's team of a communication terminal in the Beijing Military Region, a helicopter brigade of a group army, from pilots to navigators and a unit stationed in Baoding. , all participated in the filming, effectively ensuring the excellent effect of this TV series. There are helicopters in the sky, tanks, military vehicles and various special vehicles running on the ground, as well as aerial photography and artillery action photography, forming a perfect combination of heaven and underground, three-dimensional and space and a powerful battle. When the audience sees this set of shots, they will be moved by this huge battle. But who would have thought that there are many little-known things behind this. The crew, from producer Li Xinan, production director Wei Jinhu to every staff member and even the cast members who came to the group temporarily, concentrated their wisdom and tried their best to come up with ideas and methods to provide the best creativity and shooting conditions for shooting.
