The ten-month long preparation period, the early setting of the scene, the training of actors in advance, the exclusive studio, the strong scheduling ability of personnel and equipment formed by the operation of Minghu Culture for many years, the huge advantages in technology and equipment formed by the continuous investment over the years, coupled with Li Qian's more and more proficient control and scheduling ability of the crew in recent years, etc., have all made "The Matrix" smooth sailing since the start of filming.

Although the actors in the crew are not the kind of absolutely superb acting skills, "The Matrix" is not the kind of in-depth literary film that digs into the hearts of the characters, to put it bluntly, it is purely a popcorn blockbuster for commercial entertainment, so whether it is Zhou Baoshan and He Yingyu in China, or a group of black and white actors invited from the United States, there is no hurdle that cannot be overcome when dealing with this level of performance.

So, in a flash, it was September, and in another flash, it was already late September.

On 24 September, Sun Yuting took several photographers and the staff accompanying the team to take a plane from Shuntianfu to the United States.

They will land in Los Angeles, first take pictures of various cityscapes of Los Angeles, and then go to New York to shoot in the company of relevant staff from the United States.

This trip is a total of four days of work.

In the later production of computer special effects, these urban exterior scenes will be directly implanted into the film - of course, the scenery of Suncheonfu and Songjiang Mansion and other places has been filmed a long time ago.

At the end of September, Sun Yuting led the team to complete the framing and returned to China, Li Qian watched the shots she led the team one by one and was very satisfied.

At this time, it happened that the crew had been filming for more than a month and a half, and the overall filming progress was close to sixty percent, so Li Qian took the opportunity to announce that the crew would interrupt filming and take a three-day holiday.

The actors and behind-the-scenes staff of the crew are naturally long live, the current weather at the end of September and early October, lukewarm and hot, don't care whether you are resting at home, or going out to play for two days, it is the best time, after a month and a half of hard work, there is such a three-day holiday, of course, it is beautiful.

But Li Qian is not so laid-back.

In three days, he had to run three places.

The first day was a little easier, because Han Shunzhang served as the director of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and he was currently on location in Huairou Film and Television City.

And stay in Chang'an Mansion for one night, stay for half of the day, and in the afternoon and evening, he will take the train and go north, until he walks to the depths of the desert, to see with his own eyes the exterior scene that Jin Han built for "Dragon Gate Inn".

That is, the hotel in the depths of the desert where the proprietress is golden.

Therefore, for three days, others can relax leisurely, but he has to be tight, otherwise he has to worry about not being able to come back!

The first two days had a smooth journey, and the situation of the two crews was also good, which made Li Qian feel very relieved, at most, it was Lu Lingxi's side, and she had to tell her a few more words to govern the crew, she couldn't blindly overcome rigidity with softness, and when it was time to be ruthless, if she couldn't do it, just call herself.

However, in the afternoon of the same day, Li Qian was about to take a car north, but He Yingyu took Elizabeth to Chang'an Mansion by plane - in Jin Han's "Dragon Gate Inn", He Yingyu wanted to play the coquettish proprietress Jin Zhuyu, so she said that she was idle at home anyway, so she wanted to follow Li Qian over to see the venue, and at the same time, while Li Qian was also there, she could communicate with Director Jin Han in advance.

After all, this is the first collaboration between them, and it still needs a little run-in.

Li Qian was of course very pleased with this kind of dedicated work attitude and this way of working in advance, so of course he nodded in agreement, and he didn't care about Elizabeth's little tail, so he took them on the train north - the train shook, He Yingyu told him something about what he didn't have, and Elizabeth looked at the boundless northern Shaanxi plateau outside with novelty in her eyes.

The train was very slow, and when they arrived at a county town that was relatively close, it was already the second half of the night, but fortunately, the crew had sent an off-road vehicle to pick them up and was waiting for them.

And by the time the group hurried to the place where Jin Han was stationed, it was already dark.

The bumpy off-road vehicle made people want to vomit out all the overnight meals, and drove all the way, bringing the dust and sand behind them - the eastern sun has not risen, but it has already revealed a touch of fish belly white.

He Yingyu and Elizabeth were so sleepy that they fell asleep in the back row, wearing the thick coats that had been prepared in advance in the car.

Li Qian was also sleepy, but he suddenly became energetic.

In the distance, deep in the desert, a hotel suddenly appeared.

Pure civil structure, two-story building, and a large stable next to it.

When the morning breeze rises, the guise in front of the hotel swaggers in the wind, and four big characters are written crookedly - Dragon Gate Inn.

Looking at it, the car got closer and closer, and Li Qian sighed with satisfaction.

I have to admit that although Jin Han is a young man, there are some things in this world that people who are not young can't do it.

For example, to restore a murder inn in the depths of the desert in such an elegant way!

Jin Han began to travel around northern Shaanxi in July, and finally chose this place, and after negotiating with the locals, he returned to Shuntianfu, and was busy with all kinds of work, looking for someone to draw architectural design drawings, and pulling Li Qian to discuss together, and strive to restore a wonderful building described by Li Qian in the script and setting.

Then, he personally led the team into the depths of the desert again, took root for a month, stared at the staff and the construction party, and immediately asked for rework if he was not satisfied.

From the construction side, to the company's set personnel, to the transportation of a large amount of wood into the desert, from beginning to end, despite the assistance of professional accountants and managers sent by Minghu Culture, the person who has been busy on the front line must be Jin Han himself!

This is the power of Wenqing, this is the power of more truthful!

Beautiful, perfect!

The off-road vehicle stopped in front of a tent, Li Qian told the driver not to wake up the two girls who were sleeping in the back, and at the same time turn on the hot air of the air conditioner and not turn it off, and then gently opened the door and got out of the car, and gently closed the door.

You can faintly hear the snoring sound coming from the tents next to it.

It was just after five o'clock, and they were in the middle of a dream.

Li Qian crossed his waist and stood still.

Look at the "tattered" "new" inn in front of him.

At the beginning of the morning, the sun had just jumped out of the horizon, and the red sunlight smeared the great desert, and the inns and wine halls in the depths of the desert with a brilliant red.

Gorgeous as a woman's newly painted dancôme.

After a while, he walked forward, and when he saw the driver following him, he chuckled softly, "I'll take a walk by myself, you've been busy all night, go and squint for a while!"

The driver, a young man in his early twenties, scratched his head embarrassedly, turned around and got into a tent, and went to catch up on sleep.

Li Qian walked into the outer gate of the hotel.

The sand under his feet has a strange texture, and the morning in the depths of the desert has a coldness that Shuntianfu absolutely does not have—Li Qian tightened his clothes and zipped up his coat.

Walking into the inn, Li Qian was suddenly stunned.

There were actually people in there.

And it seemed that the footsteps had alarmed the man, and he was looking back at this time.

The red cigarette butts flickered and flickered.

When he saw that it was Li Qian, the man smiled and walked out.

It's Kim Han.

He was wearing a large cotton jacket, holding a cigarette in his right hand and a mineral water bottle in his left hand, which contained half a bottle of water, and there were many cigarette butts floating in the water.

When he got closer, he grinned and said, "I can't sleep in the morning, so get up and take a look!"

As he spoke, he lightly and skillfully threw the cigarette butt into the mineral water bottle, and when he heard the sound inside, he had already stretched out his hand and gestured, pointing to every corner of the hotel, and said, "Look, look, see how I have done!"

Li Qian smiled, walked past him, and walked in.

A wooden, rough bench table with uneven edges.

Poor workmanship.

Li Qian stretched out his hand and touched it, and said, "I still have to manually do it and polish it, it's too new." ”

Jin Han grinned, "Of course, but not today, I have other things to clean up today, and tomorrow I will arrange someone to polish it, and I will make a slurry to ensure that it is an old object that has been used for many years at a glance!

Li Qian nodded approvingly and said, "Yes, that's the truth!"

To tell the truth, among the contracted directors of Minghu Culture, if you want to talk about the seriousness and stubbornness of filming things, the first one can count Jin Han - Han Shunzhang is also serious, but his seriousness is meticulous. And so far, Li Qian has used him to let him be in charge of the palace and the entire film and television department, but he has never let him charge ahead.

A person like Jin Han, who is twisted and energetic, once he turns around, is the best candidate to charge into battle - in terms of making movies, this kind of person who is more real in everything can produce real things and good things, which is basically equivalent to the invincible fierce general Hei Zhang Fei in the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms!

Li Qian walked around the Longmen Inn that had been completed, touched a handful of wood from time to time, saw a stack of coarse porcelain bowls over there, picked one up, looked at it carefully, and turned back to Jin Han and said: "Let people go around the nearby villages, take the bowls for them, if you can't buy them directly, get some bowls that have been used for many years and have gaps!"

Jin Han smiled, took two steps, crossed the counter, and pointed to the ground, "What do you see about this?"

Li Qian walked over and couldn't help but smile when he took a look at the sunlight that had already shone in at this time.

There was also a pile of broken bowls on the ground, but they were broken bowls that had already been opened.

That's right!

An inn opened in the depths of the desert outside the Saiwai, and it has been open for many years, these bowls are used up by this batch of guests, and the next batch of guests will use them, how can there be any ones that are not bumped, and most of them are a little injured, which is reasonable.

The two of them circled down and were about to go upstairs to take a look, when a girl's voice suddenly came from the door, "Just guess you have to be here!"

When the two looked back, He Yingyu was surprised, "Director Jin is also there!"

When Jin Han first saw He Yingyu, a slight surprise flashed on his face, and he subconsciously turned his head to glance at Li Qian, but soon he smiled and said: "I can't sleep in the morning, I think you are coming soon, just come over and wait for you! Come, come and see! This is your inn!"

He Yingyu walked in, her eyes full of novelty.

In fact, when she noticed that Li Qian closed the car door, she had already woken up in a daze. After a while, I got up and got out of the car, and saw the inn that appeared in front of me, and the feeling was like a dream, as if I had suddenly come to the murder inn described in the script.

It would be better if there weren't these eyesore, dramatic tents nearby!

Walking all the way into the inn to find Li Qian, she was surprised by the rough reality of this inn.

When I walked into the inn and saw the dazzling sunlight shining in the joints of the wooden walls of the inn, the feeling of being really in the Dragon Gate Inn suddenly became more and more intense.

Looking left, looking right, He Yingyu shook her head and sighed, "No wonder Brother Qian'er said that this guy Jin Han has a lot of strength in doing things, this "Dragon Gate Inn" must be him!"

Jin Han couldn't help but laugh smugly when he heard this.

Even if he knew that He Yingyu was patting a sycophant, he was happy in his heart.

So he beckoned, "Come upstairs and have a look!"

As he spoke, he was the first to step up the wooden staircase, creaking.

Li Qian and He Yingyu followed him upstairs successively.

While walking, Jin Han also said: "Qian'er didn't say that you would come with you, but it's better for you to come, feel it in advance! When you finish filming this drama, you have to come over and be the boss lady for me!"

Speaking of this, he suddenly turned around, and when Li Qian and He Yingyu came up, he asked: "How much has "The Matrix" been filmed? How long will it take to finish filming? I can work together for another half a month and 20 days, don't let me wait too long, manual or something, this cost is not low! Waste money!"

Li Qian responded with a smile, "Don't be afraid, slow work and meticulous work, and after everything is done, you have to carefully make up for it, and when it is really done, you will start shooting with Zhou Zhiyu first, and shoot other shots first." On the side of "The Matrix", it can be completed in about a month. Kill Qing ...... Give Xiaoyu a break for three or five days, take a breath, and then let her come over!"

Jin Han nodded with satisfaction, "Cheng!"

But then, he looked at He Yingyu again, "What about you? Can you do it? Three or five days of hard work, don't just rest and rest! I know that you played an expressionless role in "The Matrix", and you didn't smile from beginning to end.

He Yingyu smiled, "Director Jin, you are questioning my level! Let me tell you, I began to figure out your play, and I have rehearsed with Lao Zhou and us many times! Don't worry, as long as I enter this inn, I will be gold and jade immediately!"

Jin Han smiled with satisfaction when he heard this, and said, "That's a good dare!"
