The village where Zhang Ran experienced life was actually a combination of two villages. In recent years, the state has carried out the construction of new rural areas, carried out the process of cohabiting villages, and turned many small villages into large villages. In Zhang Ran's village, some villagers come from a place called Laoshupo, which is on the slope of another mountain. After the merger of the villages, the villagers of Laoshupo moved here, and the village of Laoshupo was abandoned.

When the villagers moved over, they were reluctant to give up their houses, and the doors and windows were blocked with stones. However, a house has to be inhabited by people, and once no one lives in it, it will quickly fall into disrepair. Over the years, many houses have leaky roofs and collapsed walls.

Because the village has been dilapidated, it looks relatively desolate, and in the movie, the villagers fled, and only the ancestor and the blind dog were left in the whole village, and they were gone for more than half a year, and the village was particularly dilapidated. The crew originally planned to shoot in Laoshupo Village and shoot some long-range and panoramic shots. Therefore, after the art team passed, there was no need to build a new village, nor did it need large-scale renovation, but only needed to build the shack where the ancestor guarded the corn seedlings, and repair the abandoned old Shupo Village, which can be used.

Early the next morning, Huo Tingxiao rushed to Laoshupo Village with some of the staff of the art team, while the crew of "Years, Months and Days" continued to shoot, but the speed of film shooting was much slower than before.

The filming of "Years, Months and Days" is very different from other movies, and it is shot in the order of the development of the story. Because the movie involves a problem, in order to fit the physical state of the characters in the story, Li Xuejian has to lose weight gradually. If the sequence is shuffled, the characters will be fat and thin in the movie, and they will be goofs.

According to the development of the plot of the movie, soon after the villagers fled and left the village, the ancestor ran out of food, and life became very difficult, and the ancestor quickly lost weight. According to the original shooting plan, it only takes about ten more days to shoot, and Li Xuejian will have to lose weight, while Huo Tingxiao will take at least more than 20 days to finish the set. In this case, Zhang Ran could only slow down the shooting progress, shoot a few more shots in one shot, and only shoot for half a day every day.

In the virtual studio of Century Film Metropolis, the art team arranged a piece of land, and Li Xuejian sat on the ground with an actor whose whole body was wrapped in green except for his face. This actor in a green costume is used to simulate the position of a blind dog. There is a lot of interaction between the blind dog and the master, for example, the blind dog often sheds tears, and the master will wipe his tears for it.

With a long list of passwords sounding, the shooting officially began.

Li Xuejian and the actor who played the blind dog sat quietly, looking at the corn seedlings that did not exist on the ground.

A few seconds later, Li Xuejian suddenly asked, "Blind, how many did you have a good time with when you were young?"

The actor who played the blind dog turned his head and faced Li Xuejian blankly.

Li Xuejian looked at the blind dog and said: "You are honest, blind man, there is no one else here, only the two of us, in the dead of night." ”

The actor who plays the blind dog is still at a loss.

"Forget it. Li Xuejian sighed, lit a cigarette in frustration, and looked at the sky above his head that did not exist, "How good it is to be young, there is strength in the body, and there are women in the night." If a woman is smart, she will bring you water when she returns from the field, she will hand you a fan when her face is sweaty, and she will warm you on a snowy day. I was restless with her at night, and when I got up early in the morning to go to the ground, she would say that I was tired all night, so you should sleep a little longer!" Li Xuejian took a puff of cigarette and put his hand on the back of the blind dog actor: "What is the difference between that kind of day and the day of the fairy?" He turned his head to look at the blind dog: "Have you ever had such a day? ”

The actor of the blind dog remained silent.

Li Xuejian said melancholy: "Blind, you say, did a man come to the world for such a day?" Li Xuejian did not wait for the blind dog to answer, and said to himself: "I said yes." But when you are old, you are not, and when you are old, you live for a tree, a grass, and a bunch of grandmen and granddaughters. But no matter what, it's better to live than to die!"

When Li Xuejian said this, he took a puff of cigarette, and then looked at the corn seedlings that did not exist on the ground again. He looked so attentively and looked at him so tenderly, it was like looking at his own grandchildren.

The performance ended here, and Zhang Ran, behind the monitor, picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted, "Teacher Li, you take a rest first!"

Putting down the walkie-talkie, Zhang Ran asked about the recording and photography. After confirming that there was no problem, he personally went to the special effects team and communicated with the special effects supervisor. There are no problems with special effects either. He went to the 3D group again, put on 3D glasses, and checked the 3D effect.

After making sure that there were no problems in all links, Zhang Ran picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "This shot has passed!" He stood up and said to the assistant director Guo Fan: "Today's shooting is over here! Guo Fan, arrange for everyone to call it a day! The director team, and Zhao Fei, you guys, remember, we will have a meeting at two o'clock in the afternoon to sum up tomorrow's shooting!"

At dinner, Wang Luodan protested to Zhang Ran, saying that she only had three scenes, but she had been in the crew for half a month, and she was still filming! She asked Zhang Ran to treat her and ask everyone to sing karaoke as compensation! Wang Luodan's suggestion was supported by many people, and they all thought that Zhang Ran should invite everyone to sing karaoke.

Now the crew only shoots half a day every day, very leisurely, and there is nothing to do, it is a good choice to go out and sing, Zhang Ran agreed with a smile.

After dinner, everyone simply cleaned up and prepared to go out to sing.

Walking to the lobby on the first floor of the hotel, Zhang Ran found that there were many people gathered in the hall, pointing and talking about something outside the hotel......

There were seven or eight policemen at the scene to maintain order, and the policeman at the head shouted: "Everyone disperse! It is not right for you to gather a crowd here to protest and affect the normal operation of the hotel." Any problems can be discussed, and we will definitely deal with the beaters, so don't worry! Everyone is dispersed!"

Several other policemen also advised: "Everyone should disperse! It is definitely not right to beat people, as long as you report the case, we will definitely deal with it! You have to believe us, everyone should disperse!"

It's just that the gathered crowd is angry, where is they willing to listen to their words, plus there are so many people, the scene is extremely noisy, many people don't hear their words at all. The crowd shouted slogans in their mouths and pushed the police so hard in their hands that the whole scene was a little out of control.

At this moment, the alarm bell sounded, and more than a dozen police cars roared in. Dozens of heavily armed anti-explosive policemen jumped out of the car and rushed towards the crowd with shields in hand, but instead of retreating, the crowd became even more angry, shouting slogans and pushing the anti-explosive police.

Zhang Ran frowned when he saw that the scene was about to get out of control. He didn't want a large-scale mass incident to happen in the Century Shadow Capital, once the incident became big, the media at home and abroad would definitely report it on a large scale, and the impact would be very bad! He glanced at his bodyguard, lowered his voice, and said, "You go and ask, what happened?"

A few minutes later, the bodyguard came back and told Zhang Ran: "During filming this afternoon, an actor had a conflict with the extras of the crew, and in the evening, the actor brought a few martial arts to injure the extras who clashed, and his behavior aroused public indignation. The extras from the base have all rushed over, and they want to settle accounts with the murderer!"

Zhang Ran understood what was going on, in fact, he was very supportive of these extras in his heart, but he didn't want the extras to clash with the police, let alone make a big deal, he turned his head to Zhang Jingchu and the others and said, "I'll go and see, you guys will stay here!"

The outside was chaotic, and it was almost out of control! Zhang Jingchu must have let Zhang Ran out, and hurriedly persuaded: "Zhang Ran, don't go out! It's dangerous outside!" The others also said: "Teacher Zhang, it's dangerous!"

Zhang Ran smiled at Zhang Jingchu and them, and said lightly: "They are all extras from the base, there is nothing to worry about, will they still beat me! I'll take a look!" After speaking, Zhang Ran walked out of the hotel and strode towards the crowd.

The policeman headed by him was from a nearby police station, and naturally knew Zhang Ran, the big boss of the Century Shadow Capital, he was startled when he saw Zhang Ran walking into the crowd, now the scene is so chaotic, if Zhang Ran has some accidents, he can't afford this responsibility, and quickly dissuaded: "Mr. Zhang, don't go over, now the emotions of the masses are very excited!"

Zhang Ran smiled at the police and said, "It's okay, they are all actors from the base, and they won't embarrass me!" Zhang Ran didn't say much, and walked towards the crowd. The two bodyguards stood by Zhang Ran's side, one left and one right, ready to protect him at any time.

Zhang Ran walked to a place two meters away from the crowd and stopped, and shouted: "Everyone be quiet, listen to me! I'm Zhang Ran, I believe you all know me! Now listen to me!"

The extras at the scene saw Zhang and then there was a commotion: "Oh, it's Zhang Ran!", "It's Director Zhang! Director Zhang is here!" Someone shouted at Zhang Ran: "Director Zhang, that bastard named Lin Nengping is really too bullying!"

Other extras also said angrily: "Originally, it was just a little quarrel, but Lin Nengping beat people to death, it's really too much!", "Yes, it's really too much!", "We extras are also people, why are we bullying people so much!"

Zhang Ran looked at the extras who were angry, and said with a smile: "You are all members of the Actors Guild, right?" After hearing the crowd at the scene answer "yes", he continued: "Since you are members of the guild, then I will criticize you! Those who should call the police should call the police, and those who should complain to the guild should complain to the guild, and they should not gather crowds to make trouble, let alone clash with the police. Even if you were reasonable, now it's unreasonable!"

Someone shouted: "Director Zhang, you may not know. It's not the first time that extras have been beaten, and the actors' guild won't let them accompany them for medical expenses because the extras tore their faces with the crew, so they are so arrogant!"

Zhang Ran looked at the extras who were talking, and said solemnly: "I don't know which base you used to be, but I want to tell you, as well as other extras, that now the film and television bases in the entire Yangtze River Delta region have formed an alliance, and the guilds of various film and television bases have also united." In the past, when extras were injured, the guild would at most make them lose money, and they would not tear their faces with the crew because of the extras. But now, as long as you complain, the guild will definitely send someone to investigate, and an investigation report will be issued. If it is confirmed that it is the fault of the other party, and the fault is particularly serious, the guild will issue a blacklist. Don't underestimate this blacklist, once you are blacklisted, then all film and television bases in the entire Yangtze River Delta region will not receive this person, nor will they receive the crew where he is!"

The extras at the scene were stunned when they heard this, and then a wave of excitement surged in their hearts, they clapped their hands wildly, and refused to stop clapping their hands until they were red.
