In this film, he and Connor Brooks have the most scenes opposite each other. After more than a month of getting along, the two have a very good understanding and the filming went extremely smoothly.
Sometimes there were no scenes for Brandon Scott Ye, so he came to the set early, and the director was still a little confused when he saw him.
"Brandon Scott Ye, why don't you take a good rest in the hotel."
Brandon Scott Ye held a small stool and sat obediently next to the director.
"Director, I want to learn how to act."
This morning, the crew came to Brandon Scott Ye with some equipment.
"Teacher Ye, you need to lift the wire today. Let me help you put on the safety belt."
Brandon Scott Ye put on the equipment with his help. After repeatedly confirming that there was no problem, he slowly rose up as the crane rotated, and finally stopped at about 10 meters in the air.
This is the first time for Brandon Scott Ye to hang wires so high on location. During the previous special training, they were just flying around indoors.
But for the sake of shooting effect, except for the particularly dangerous and extremely difficult actions, which will require doubles, the director will ask them to complete the rest themselves.
Afraid that it would be the first time for him to hang a wire so high that he might not be used to it, so the director picked up the speaker and looked at Brandon Scott Ye to confirm.
"How do you feel? Do you feel any discomfort in your body?"
Brandon Scott Ye felt that apart from being a little nervous, he didn't feel uncomfortable at all, so he shouted to the ground at the top of his lungs: "Director, I don't feel uncomfortable at all."
"That's good, all departments will follow my instructions."
"action"
When he heard the director shouting to start filming, Brandon Scott Ye immediately started performing according to the movements designed by the previous martial arts director.
Scenes like this kind of fairy tale drama require actors to perform martial arts actions in the air. The actors need to show the feeling of elegant posture and fairy spirit. However, due to irresistible factors, they have to repeat an action over and over again until they are satisfied with it. .
The director sat behind the camera and was extremely satisfied watching Brandon Scott Ye's smooth martial arts movements in the air and his light and graceful body like a flying swallow and dragon, and immediately shot two more actions.
"Ka, this one has passed, go and put the person down quickly."
After saying that, he watched the video several times. The more he watched, the more satisfied he became, and he praised the video without hesitation.
"As expected of him, he is a good dancer. These moves are so beautifully executed."
The next scene was shot on the ground, but it was a difficult action scene. Originally, a stuntman had to be hired to complete it, but after seeing Brandon Scott Ye's performance just now, the director suddenly wanted to let him try it himself.
The director consulted the martial arts instructor for discussion, and both of them felt that Brandon Scott Ye's body flexibility should be able to complete this set of difficult movements.
So, after Brandon Scott Ye said there was no problem, he put on protective props and slowly became familiar with the movements under the on-site guidance of the martial arts teacher.
Teacher Wu Zhi found that he learned things very quickly. He only taught him this set of difficult moves twice before he could remember them. This made Teacher Wu Zhi have to admit that he was really smart and talented.
The teacher saw that he was already able to complete this set of movements skillfully, so he suggested to the director:
"He learns very quickly. I think he's almost done with it. Why don't we let him try it."
The director also discovered that Brandon Scott Ye's brain is really good and he can learn everything in one go. He felt like he had found a treasure and it would be much easier to work with such an actor.
This scene ended up being shot three times, and the third time it was because Brandon Scott Ye was not satisfied and asked for a retake.
The actor himself asked for a reshoot, and the director was happy to hear it and was willing to cooperate. As expected, the third shot was more perfect than the first two after it was filmed.
It's a difficult action to say the least. It would be really nice to film. It would not only add a lot of points to the drama and the actors, but it might also become a classic action in martial arts dramas in the future.
It's late at night and everyone on the earth has fallen asleep.
Brandon Scott Ye, who had been using Wi-Fi all day, stayed up all night again and didn’t finish filming until late at night. He was stopped by the director just as he was about to leave.
"You've been hanging on a wire all day today, and your legs will definitely hurt. Take these ointments back, apply more at night, and they'll be fine tomorrow."
Brandon Scott Ye did feel a little pain in his leg, so he took the ointment he handed over.
"Thank you director"
The next day, I discovered that the bruised area no longer hurt. After applying some medicine, I hurried to the set. I was afraid I wouldn't have enough time, so even breakfast was bought by the assistant and eaten in the car.
Since the filming started until now, the actors have been on the line at two o'clock every day. They have to come to the set early in the morning and have their stylists put on their makeup.
Since today's filming was a scene where he was injured and fell into the water, the makeup artist needed to paint his face a little whiter, but after applying it, he found that it was better not to paint it, because he was already very white.
This made Brandon Scott Ye’s makeup artist sigh again:
"How many times have you stayed up late, and your face is still so smooth? Your skin is so white that you haven't seen any darkening after being exposed to the sun for more than a month. You are so enviable."
In the end, the makeup artist just painted his lips a little whiter, making him look pale and sickly.
Today's shooting location is a shallow pool in the mountains. He and Connor Brooks need to complete today's shooting in this pool.
The staff first went down to check whether it was safe. They measured that the deepest water level reached the staff's waist. The water was very clear and you could see the bottom at a glance. The pool in the mountain was quite cold.
The director asked them in advance whether they knew how to swim and let them get into the water with confidence.
"You two go down and get used to the water temperature first, and we can shoot later when the scene is set up."
Connor Brooks had actually wanted to play in the water for a long time. As soon as the director finished speaking, he couldn't wait to jump into the water and stretched out his hand to help Brandon Scott Ye.
"Brandon Scott Ye, come down slowly, the water is a bit cold."
Brandon Scott Ye had already obediently taken off his shoes, rolled up his trouser legs and skirt, and prepared to follow him into the water.
"okay."
He was supported by Connor Brooks and put his feet into the water little by little to test the water temperature.
"Hiss...it's really cold."
Connor Brooks looked a little worried as his thin white feet became even paler when soaked in the water.
"How about you sit there and soak your feet for a while, then come down."
"No, I'm going down right now."
Brandon Scott Ye was heartbroken and jumped directly into the water. The depth of the water was just up to his thighs, and the water splashed high and splashed all over them.
Seeing the other party's embarrassed look, they burst into laughter. Both of them were fun-loving young people in their 20s, and they immediately started a water fight.
Even the several staff members nearby were not spared and simply joined the battle. The two of them fought against the newly joined people, and the scene was very chaotic for a time.
It wasn't until everyone heard the director's shout that they stopped. Several of them looked like their clothes were soaked through, like drowned rats, but their faces were filled with cheerful smiles.
It’s no wonder that everyone had such a good time. In fact, the crew has been in an intense shooting stage during this period, and their mental state is tense every day. Neither the actors nor the staff dare to relax for a moment.
