"Brother Xin, are you going out for a run today?"

The latitude here is low, and the dawn is relatively early, and as soon as He Xin got up, Shen Ming came over. He did a lot of homework in advance and had a thorough understanding of He Xin's daily life.

"No, this is the plateau, and I have to adapt to it for two days. ”

He Xin had just finished washing up at this time, and changed into a cooler casual dress. The temperature here is roughly the same as that in Wuhan, 189 degrees in the morning and evening, and 278 degrees during the day, and the climate is very pleasant.

"Breakfast is served here at half past six, and the crew usually eats breakfast at seven o'clock, and leaves for the set at eight o'clock, which is on the mountain. The temperature on the mountain is low, so you have to prepare some clothes, catch up with the night play, and wear a down jacket......"

Shen Ming reported the situation to He Xin in detail, which was also the responsibility of the assistant. He Xin joined the group late and didn't know much about some of the crew's situation, which required him to understand all aspects of the situation through the assistant.

"Oh, let's go outside first. He Xin nodded.

Whenever he goes to filming, he likes to walk around the area, see the customs, taste flavorful snacks, and pay attention to what souvenirs and the like. In addition to relaxation, familiarity with the environment is also important for character development.

Lushui County is located on the edge of the Nu River, the river is rushing, the mountains on both sides of the river are majestic, the beauty is magnificent, and people unconsciously become open-minded, just like when he looked at the blue sky and white clouds on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the towering snow-capped mountains and the vast grassland, there is the same thing.

The county seat of Lushui is not large, and many modern buildings have been erected on the other side of the river. It is said that since the fire in Lijiang, special attention has been paid to the protection of the old buildings of the ancient city, and a new urban area is being built on the other side of the river, so as to protect the style of the old county town to the greatest extent, so as to develop tourism resources in the future.

He Xin and Shen Ming walked along a lively street on the edge of the Nu River. Although Shangri-La, the location he used to shoot "Wu Ji", is located in the northwest of Yunnan and is adjacent to each other, the customs and customs including eating habits are completely different. Shangri-La belongs to the Tibetan people, and this side belongs to the Lisu people.

Over the years, he has traveled to various places to film, and he can be regarded as traveling from south to north, especially in Yunnan, which has been here several times, but he has never seen many novel snacks in the local area before.

For example, the small shop he and Shen Ming patronized at this time sold two of the most distinctive local snacks, called "Xia Spicy" and "Gong Spicy".

At first, he thought both snacks were spicy, but when he inquired, he realized that it was not the case. "Xia La" and "Gong La" are the languages of the local Lisu people, which translate to "meat wine" and "eggnog" for short.

Eggnog is also available in Wuhan, and when filming "Ten Thousand Arrows Through the Heart", He Xin ate it almost every day. But eggnog here and eggnog in Wuhan are completely different things.

The meat wine and eggnog here are first put in the pot to heat the ghee, then put in the chicken pieces or eggs, fry until yellow and crispy, and then add a local rice wine called Lushui pestle wine, cover the pot and simmer for about five minutes.

This steaming eggnog is served with a buckwheat pancake sandwiched with wild leeks and pork. In particular, this eggnog is warm in the stomach, and it makes people feel especially comfortable in this soggy weather.

When the two of them were sitting on the small bench at the door of the small store, leaning on the small low table to eat, He Xin's mobile phone rang.

An unfamiliar number.

He thought it was another kind of harassing call for sales or fraud, so he pressed it without even thinking about it.

But the number rang stubbornly again.

He Xin hesitated to answer the phone. There will be no unleashed calls from sales pitches or scams.

"Hey, hello......"

"Teacher He, I'm Yu Feihong. ”

"Oh, Mr. Yu, I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Is this your new number?"

"Yes, I'm here to set up a new one, and I didn't notify you in advance, I'm sorry. Yu Feihong on the other end of the phone seemed to have just reacted and said apologetically.

"Teacher He, are you in the hotel?"

"Oh, I'm out for breakfast right now and I'll be back soon. He Xin said busily.

Yesterday, producer Sun Li said that Director Yu met with him this morning, but he didn't expect Yu Feihong's phone call to come so early, you must know that it is not even seven o'clock now.

"That'...... At eight o'clock, we will meet in the conference room on the second floor of the hotel, do you think it is okay?"

"No problem, I'll see you later!"

"Well, see you later!"

"Teacher Yu is really early enough. After hanging up the phone, He Xin couldn't help but shake his head and mutter.

Then he asked Shen Mingdao: "What time did the crew come back last night?"

He was in a separate room, and he slept early last night, and Shen Ming was arranged in the triple room downstairs as a staff member.

"It's about half past ten, pretty late. ”

He Xin couldn't help but say when he heard this: "Then Teacher Yu is really energetic." ”

The crew finished work at half past ten, and as a director, I had to draw up a shooting plan for the next day, and then evaluate the content of today's shooting, etc., and there were a lot of things, and it was normal to be busy for three or four hours. In this way, Teacher Yu didn't sleep for a few hours at all last night, and I really don't know how the "Frozen Age Goddess" who was widely praised on the Internet in later generations was cultivated.

"Brother Xin, I heard that this is in the ...... where the director is very powerful," Shen Ming hesitated.

"Oh, tell me about such a powerful method?" He Xin immediately said with interest when he heard this.

In his impression, Teacher Yu seems to have always been soft, giving people a very intellectual and delicate feeling. But then again, a woman who can be a director must have her strong side.

"I heard from the lighting assistant in the same room as me that when the camera was turned on, the stunt team and the recording team didn't seem to take the director seriously, and they were late twice in a row, but the director became popular on the spot, dropped the walkie-talkie and said that he wouldn't shoot anymore, and even Producer Sun's intercession didn't work. Immediately suppressed the old qualifications in the crew, and no one has ever had any moths since then. ”

"Yes!"

He Xin was stunned when he heard it. It is not new for those fritters in the crew to bully rookie directors. Just like when Ning Hao first started, he loved to use his classmates or poor buddies who filmed commercials with him at the beginning, even if he had enough money, he was unwilling to invite some big names in the circle, to put it bluntly, he was guarding against this kind of thing.

Although He Xin just arrived yesterday and hasn't had time to meet with the main creators of the crew, except for the director of "Love Has an Afterlife", the others are all old birds.

For example, photographer Li Yaohui, who has always been mixed with Wang Sunglasses, when Wang Sunglasses was filming "Springtime", the character played by Liang Chaowei was called Li Yaohui.

It is estimated that Ning Hao learned from Wang Sunglasses, such as Bao Shihong in "Stone", and Geng Hao in "Racing", the owners of these character names are all buddies who filmed together at the beginning.

After leaving the school, Li Yaohui has filmed many movies such as "Crazy Boy", "2046", "Golden Rooster", "Infernal Affairs", "Wounded City", etc., and just won the Best Cinematography Award at the Academy Awards for "Wounded City" this year.

There are also lighting engineer Zhao Fei, art director Xiang Haiming, especially the big guy of the recording team mentioned by Shen Ming just now, Wang Danrong, who is Feng Xiaogang's royal recording engineer, and he is the recording engineer of almost all previous works of the pants director.

Such a team feels that it can be called a first-class production team, representing the highest level of behind-the-scenes production of Chinese films.

And in the face of these old qualifications, Yu Feihong was able to hold on, which really made He Xin immediately impressed. It's just that this doesn't seem to be enough, as an actor, if you want to cooperate well with the director, you first need the actor's absolute trust in the director, and then hand over yourself to the director to control.

In this regard, He Xin is not very confident in his heart, and he can't have absolute trust in the teacher for the time being, at least he has to look at her directing level.

At eight o'clock, when He Xin came to the conference room on the second floor of the hotel on time, there were already many people sitting inside.

"Director!"

"Brother Yaohui!"

"Teacher Zhao, Teacher Xiang, Teacher Wang......"

He Xinyi greeted everyone one by one.

It's funny to say, because Xiao Bailong was beaten, he fired a map cannon and offended a large number of filmmakers in the Hong Kong circle, but as long as the Hong Kong filmmakers who have worked with him or come into contact with him have a good relationship with him. For example, Li Yaohui and Guan Jinpeng are friends, He Xin has eaten together twice in Hong Kong, and when He Xin was scolded for being a North Yankee at the Academy Awards, Li Yaohui also took the initiative to comfort him.

As for the other bigwigs, even though they have never cooperated, they all know each other.

"Haha, Ah Xin!"

Li Yaohui hugged him warmly.

Several others also politely stood up and responded: "Teacher He......"

"Don't, teachers, call me Ah Xin, Xiao He Ducheng. ”

After greeting for a while, they each sat down.

"It turns out that everyone knows each other, so I won't introduce it. Yu Feihong sat on the main seat with a capable face and said with a smile.

Then he asked He Xin, "Teacher He, are you still adapting here?"

This is located on the plateau, and many people who come here for the first time will have some altitude sickness.

"I'm still getting used to it. He Xindao.

Yu Feihong saw that he looked good, and he was leisurely and elegant, and when he went out shopping for breakfast, he knew that he was in a good state.

"Teacher He, do you think you still need to adjust it and feel the working atmosphere of the crew?"

"Yes, I'll feel it first, and try to adapt to the work rhythm of the teachers as soon as possible. He Xin said with a smile.

He really needs to take a look at it first, but the main thing is to look at the style and level of Mr. Yu's director.

Yu Feihong originally just wanted to be polite, but this guy actually nodded like this, she was a little helpless, so she had to say: "Then give you three days, do you think it's about the same?"

"Yes, director, you see the arrangement. "This thing is busy.

"Three days, then. ”

Yu Feihong subconsciously pursed his lips, then opened the big notebook in front of him, and said back to business: "Okay, let's discuss the plan for shooting this afternoon......

He Xin sat down earnestly and listened. To be honest, when he first saw the script of "Love Has an Afterlife", he really admired the courage of this sister.

It is said that novice directors have several taboos, and they cannot shoot action scenes, animal scenes, children's scenes, and big location scenes, which is recognized in the circle. But in the script of "Love Has an Afterlife", these are all together.

Just like the scene she is arranging for the afternoon shooting, which is to shoot Ah Jiu and her brother when they were young, the two children are running in the woods, and there is a bear chasing after them.

The combination of children's play and animal play can be imagined.

"Teacher He, will you go up the mountain with the crew in the afternoon?" Finally, Teacher Yu politely asked for his opinion.

"Of course!" He Xin said busily.

The more difficult the play, the more it can reflect the level of a director.
