Looking back on his previous works, probably except for "Incense", it is either a double male lead, or a big heroine, or a male N.

And compared with last year's cooperation with two big directors who like to show off their skills, he feels that Yin Licai is a director who can really tell stories.

Chen Qiushui's life is legendary, Chen Qiushui's life footprints started from the treasure island with green mountains and green waters, walked through the war-torn North Korea, and ended in the pure and holy plateau. A wandering life is Chen Qiushui's fate, so why not be his luck as an actor who plays this role?

One of the locations of Zhangzhou Old Street was filmed in the street scene of Taipei in the 40s, which is the small western-style building where He Xin and Xu Wanxuan are located in Gulangyu, where Wang's house is located, and the small street that can be gazed at by the railing.

In addition to being the main location for filming, it is also a very important location for special effects.

Jiang Qinqin left, and He Xin, who had completely lost his direction, couldn't sit still in the hotel, so he drove to Zhangzhou Old Street the next morning to feel the atmosphere on the set in advance.

When he came to the scene, he saw that two cranes stretched out their long booms about 200 meters away, and a wire rope was connected to it.

At this moment, photographer Wang Xiaolie was holding a walkie-talkie to direct the staff on the ground, pulling the camera weighing more than 200 pounds onto the wire rope, and then the camera was pulled by manpower to shoot.

The scene was very chaotic, the old street was crowded, and local residents poured into the street to watch the crew perform acrobatics. When He Xin arrived at the scene, it took a lot of effort to squeeze into the cordon drawn by the crew.

"Xiaohe, here!"

Yin Li, who was holding the walkie-talkie, saw that He Xin just nodded hurriedly and said hello, so he shouted into the walkie-talkie: "Slow down, slow down, don't worry...... Yes, steady, steady......"

As the camera slowly rose from the ground into the air, the hearts of all the crew members of the film crew also hung higher and higher. Not only Yin Li was shouting, photographer Wang Xiaolie, and even photographer-turned-producer Jiang Tao all went out in person, shouting and directing on the walkie-talkie.

Weighing two hundred pounds and worth millions of dollars, the camera certainly can't afford to fall, and the century-old houses below are even more delicate.

Li Yang, the assistant director next to He Xinting, introduced that the buildings on the old street are all century-old cultural relics protection units, and the crew has signed a letter of commitment before entering the filming scene, and not a single brick or tile here can be destroyed.

It is said that the roof is covered with thin tiles that shatter at the touch of a camera, and it cannot withstand the touch of a camera.

Finally, the camera was raised to the designated position, and then the camera started working under the manual pull rope control. What's even worse is that in a two-story building, there is a two-and-a-half-story household that stands out from the crowd, and I saw a camera of more than 200 catties swaying in the air, and a mistake would open the skylight of the century-old house.

The two groups of people on the two cranes, plus the three-way walkie-talkie of the ground personnel, shouted hoarsely for a morning before completing this aerial sliding shot that may have flashed in the film.

He Xin watched it at the scene with great emotion, this kind of afterlife is a matter of a drone running once, but this year it will take a lot of effort, which is time-consuming and extremely costly.

In the afternoon, the crew was going to sweep the streets, and after He Xin had a boxed lunch at the scene, he said hello to Yin Li, and accompanied by the director's assistant Li Yang, went to the ancient village of Changjiao in Nanjing to see his "hometown" there.

The car drove along the winding provincial road in the mountainous area, and the most seen along the way were the walled houses and tulou dotted at the foot of the mountain, by the bank of the stream, and on the fields.

According to Li Yang, the tulou here was basically built by the Hakka people who migrated here during the Yuan Dynasty. And it's also a famous hometown of overseas Chinese. At the end of the Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, the Han people in the north and even in the Yangtze River valley migrated here to escape the war and built walled houses. Then, during the Ming Dynasty, many Hakka people began to migrate to the sea, and their footprints spread to Hong Kong, Wanwan, Myanmar, Thailand, Malaya, Indonesia, Singapore and even the whole of Southeast Asia.

Especially in Wanwan, there are more than 200,000 people whose ancestral homes are in Changjiao Village. With the reform and opening up, there are many bays returning to their hometowns to worship their ancestors every year, and after a long time, it is still called "Xiaowanwan".

It is about an hour-and-a-half-hour drive from Zhangzhou city to Changjiao Village, and the art crew of the crew has been working here since the crew transferred from Tibet Province to Hujian.

Filming is sometimes really a travel process, of course, the premise is that you can't be too nervous, and there is enough time for you to walk around, change your brain, and relax.

This way of working and resting has always been the way He Xin yearns for work. For example, when filming "The Little Tailor", he played all over Zhangjiajie with Zhou Xun and Chen Kun, and when he was filming "Jade Guanyin", he had more time.

But in the past two years, with the rise of popularity, this way of working has become more and more extravagant, just like from last year to now, he has almost no time to rest, and the schedule of each drama is very tight, there is no way for you to free up time to go sightseeing.

Today is just a busy day, taking the opportunity to familiarize myself with the set, and taking the opportunity to walk around. Tomorrow he will be devoting himself to the intense filming of the film, and it is no joke that he will have to complete nearly 30 scenes in ten days.

Changjiao: This place is more of an ancient town than a village. The scale is very large, and there are still many enclosed houses and tulou in the village in the Yuan and Ming dynasties.

The ancient village is surrounded by mountains on all sides, about ten miles in length and width, and the bubbling Changjiao River meanders through the village, leaving a pool of green grass and a bay of clear water, and then flows to the distant mountains.

He Xin was really dumbfounded when he saw the legendary thousand-year-old banyan tree by the stream, which was the largest tree he had ever seen in his two lives.

At the bottom of the trunk, he estimated that it would take at least a dozen adults to hug it. The huge canopy of trees obscured the sky and the sun, and even covered the water surface of the small half of the Changjiao Creek, which was hundreds of meters wide.

Under the banyan tree, an ancient cobblestone road that has been trampled and polished very smoothly stretches into the distance. There is a row of two-story old-fashioned brick and wood houses next to the ancient road, which is the old market of Changjiao.

The ground floor of the house is facing the street is a shop, most of which retain the characteristics of wooden walls, the upper floor is mostly a house, and the wooden eaves between the two floors are raised to the center of the street, as the ground floor shop is used to block the rain and sun, just like the arcade in southern Fujian. The storefronts are one after another, and you can still see the prosperous scene of this 700-year-old small mountain village.

To this day, there are grocery stores, barber shops, tin shops, pharmacies, etc., but it is a little empty.

But what interests He Xin the most is the huge waterwheel that towers by the stream, and the Chen family's rice mill next to the waterwheel, half supported by wooden stakes in the stream.

These are all newly built by the crew, especially the waterwheel with a diameter of eight meters and a height of more than ten meters, which is the masterpiece of the crew's art team. This is not a pretend, but a production tool that can be used to scoop water!

When He Xin arrived, Ma Dadi, the deputy leader of the art group, was asking the local master to help with the debugging. It didn't take long for the waterwheel to creak and start working, and at the same time there was a loud sound of the huge body of the rice in the room striking the stone mortar.

"Is it so amazing?" He Xin said in surprise.

Rao had never seen anything so old in his previous life.

"Of course, if you really catch up with the rice harvest season, you can make a piece of cake for thousands of catties of rice a day. Ma Dadi said proudly.

Chen Qiushui's home is next to the waterwheel and rice mill built by the crew, which was rearranged after the old houses of the two families were opened.

Now the director he is most worried about requires that the walls outside Chen Qiushui's room be crawling with creepers. This current seed will definitely not be realized, and transplantation is not realistic, and the only way Ma Dadi can think of is to cut it down in other places and stick it one by one. However, in this case, the sticky creeper branches will only last for a day, and will soon bend due to lack of water. At that time, the new branches can only be reglued overnight. This is very intense work for the art team.

Ma Dadi also specially greeted him, and when it was time to shoot, he would ask him to play the level of an actor and try to finish the filming as soon as possible. It's one thing for the art team to have a lot of work, but Ma Dadi is most worried that if the amount of creeper is too large, the village will have no land to find after cutting down.
