More than a dozen trucks are parked in the open space at the foot of the mountain, and dozens of villagers and crew members are carrying huge lamps, blackout cloths, and bulky generators under the trucks.

Zhao Fei shouted with a loudspeaker: "Be careful, everyone! These lamps are very expensive, each one costs hundreds of thousands, don't fall off!" A man who looked like a township cadre next to him also shouted: "Be careful, don't break the equipment!"

After the meeting, Zhao Fei quickly contacted the film and television equipment companies in Luoyang and Zhengzhou to inquire about the situation of the lamps. There are no 18 kilowatt dysprosium lamps in Luoyang, and Zhengzhou has 180 million dysprosium lamps, but most of them are domestic, and only one has Alai's dysprosium lamps. Zhao Fei asked the company in Zhengzhou to send the Alai lantern over, and then quickly contacted the film and television equipment rental companies of China Film and Beiping City, and asked them to send a batch of 18 kilowatts and 24 kilowatts of Alai dysprosium lamp over.

Why do you have to use 18 kilowatts and 240 million dysprosium lamps? Because the dysprosium lamp is bright, and the color temperature of the dysprosium lamp is 5600, which is the color temperature of the sun at noon, the crew often uses dysprosium lamps to simulate daylight. As for why it is necessary to use 18 kilowatts and 24 kilowatts of high-power dyssprosium lamps, one is that the lamp is bright enough, and the other is that the lamp can be stretched far, which can not only make the light cover a large area, but also make the direction of the light more parallel, and the light in each place is more uniform.

At the same time that Zhao Fei was contacting the lamps, the producers of the crew were also contacting the generators. However, the generator is not like the lamp has requirements for the brand, and can only use a certain brand, and the crew quickly contacted the machinery company, and the other party quickly sent the generator to the crew.

After the lights and generators arrived at the crew, the biggest problem was how to transport the bulky equipment to a mountain hundreds of meters high. The 24 kilowatt dysprosium lamp is very large, the lamp tube is almost 1.4 meters high, and the weight is almost 140 catties, it is almost impossible for one person to carry such a heavy lamp, and it takes two or three people to carry it. The generator is even heavier, a 100-kilowatt engine weighs hundreds of pounds, and it takes seven or eight people to carry it. The crew usually uses power generation vehicles for filming, and they drive directly to the set during filming, but now the power generation vehicles can't be driven, so they can only lift the generator to the mountain, which is very laborious.

In order to move these bulky lamps and generators to the mountains, the co-production office recruited dozens of young adults from nearby villages, plus the crew of the crew, there were 67 people. Even so, everyone was busy until the evening, when all the equipment was transported up the mountain.

Zhao Fei sat on the ground and gasped, "It's not easy! This feels like a war!"

These devices are very expensive, a 24 kilowatt Aledysprosium lamp is nearly 1 million, and all the equipment adds up to nearly 20 million, which is very unsafe to put on the mountain. For this reason, most of the police officers of the Maoping Town Police Station, where Laoshupo Village is located, have been sent to guard the equipment, and the entire mountain has been fenced, which can be said to be three steps and one post, and five steps and one sentry.

In addition, considering the dry local climate and the high temperature caused by the use of these lamps, in order to avoid causing a fire, the county fire squadron specially sent a team of firefighters on standby in the mountains to deal with emergencies.

When Zhao Fei was busy carrying equipment with the lighting team, in Laoshupo Village on the opposite mountain, Zhang Ran was also rehearsing with the actors and extras of the crew. Because the next shots to be shot are all long shots, it is a great test of the cooperation of the actors and all departments of the crew, and if one place is not coordinated, it will have to be reshot, so it needs to be rehearsed repeatedly until everyone can cooperate skillfully. In this way, when the filming officially begins, the actors will be able to complete the performance skillfully, and there is no need to reshoot it over and over again.

On the day of the official shooting, Zhang Ran rushed to the set at seven o'clock, and the extras had already changed their clothes and put on makeup and were waiting for him. Zhang Ran didn't say much, asked Wang Luodan and them to put on makeup, and then took the extras to start rehearsals.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the magistrate of Qingchi County took several leaders to visit the crew and sent a batch of condolence materials. Since the film started filming in Laoshupo Village, government officials have come to visit and express condolences almost every day, from the county, city, and province. Many of them wanted to show their faces in the movie, and this request was naturally rejected by Zhang Ran ruthlessly, because most of these officials were fat-headed and big-eared, and they did not have the slightest feeling of being a peasant in a mountain village.

Of course, not all leaders who come to the crew to visit the class will be received by Zhang Ran, at least at the level of deputy county magistrate. There is a deputy section chief named Chen Hong in the county who is a fan of Zhang Ran, he thought that he could use his position to meet Zhang Ran, so he went to the county to inquire about the situation, but was scolded by the leader of the organization department of the county party committee: "Even we are not allowed to inquire casually, and you dare to ask, the Standing Committee is qualified to meet!"

After greeting Zhang Ran, the magistrate of Qingchi County saw a huge lamp like a cannon on the opposite mountain. He was very shocked in his heart, and couldn't help but say: "From this point of view, it looks like an artillery position, and every lamp is like a cannon!"

Zhang Ran also felt a bit like an artillery position, and said with a smile: "It's really like an artillery position, but these lights are much bigger than cannons, and even bigger than giant cannons! The 24 kilowatt dysprosium lamp is 1.4 meters high!"

The county magistrate knew that the crew had to stop work because of the light, and asked, "Can these lights solve the problem of sunlight?"

Zhang Ran smiled confidently: "Yes, you can see it in a few minutes!"

The entrance to the parking lot at the foot of the hill was crowded with people as usual, including journalists, movie fans, but mainly nearby villagers. It's November, the crops in the fields have been harvested early, and there is not much farm work to do. Every day, many Nuo villagers rush to the foot of the mountain, waiting to watch the crew film. Of course, there are also villagers who try to climb over the mountains and sneak into the filming site to see, but all intersections of the mountain road are guarded, and there are often police officers who search the mountains to drive away reporters, they can't break through the crew's blockade, and can only gather at the entrance at the foot of the mountain.

Although I can't see how the crew filmed, they can see Zhang Ran and them coming in and out every day, and they can see the vehicles of various leaders coming in and out, and the villagers still feel that it is not in vain.

At this moment, the villagers gathered at the entrance were talking excitedly, but they were not talking about a certain actor in the crew, not the leader who came to visit the class, but the lighting equipment placed on the mountain: "What is on that mountain? It looks like a cannon!"

"It's not a cannon, there's no cannon, I look a bit like a searchlight in a movie!"

One of the villagers said proudly: "That's not a searchlight, it's called a dysprosium lamp! The crew has a variety of lights, and the light that comes out is different. This light is the same color as the morning sun's rays. This kind of lamp is precious, a small one costs 500,000 yuan, a large one costs 1 million, and a light bulb alone costs tens of thousands!"

When the villagers heard that the light bulb cost tens of thousands, they didn't believe it at all: "How can a light bulb be tens of thousands, you brag about a limit!"

"A light bulb is tens of thousands, is that light bulb made of gold or silver?

"yes, are you stupid for us? How can a light bulb cost tens of thousands!"

The villager snorted, showing a contemptuous gaze and said: "I was at the scene when I moved the lights to the mountain yesterday, and dozens of us were busy all day before moving those lights to the mountain, these are all said by a leader named Zhao Fei of the crew, what do you know!"

A reporter heard their conversation and came over and asked, "Did Zhao Fei tell you why the crew moved so many lights to the mountain?"

When the villagers saw the reporter's questioning, they all looked at each other vigilantly and stopped talking. The county has explained that it cannot disclose any news to reporters, and also asked several nearby villages to register their ID cards and report to the village if they find strangers, for fear of affecting the filming of the crew. When the villager who spoke saw the reporter asking himself, he said proudly: "I said it, but I can't tell you!"

The reporter asked again, and the surrounding villagers suddenly let out an exclamation of "wow", and everyone showed shocked eyes. The reporter followed everyone's gaze and saw Laoshupo Village, no, the mountain where Laoshupo Village is located is shrouded in strong light. It was obviously a cloudy day, but the mountain in front of me was "sunny", giving people a feeling of scorching sun. He turned his head and looked at the opposite hill, where the huge cylinders were projecting dazzling pillars of light.

It is these pillars of light that light up the old Shupo Village and the whole mountain!

The reporter watched in amazement at what was happening in front of him, speechless, and lit up the whole mountain with dozens of lights, which only a madman does!

In Laoshupo Village, the actors, staff, and even the magistrate of Qingchi County were shocked by the scene in front of them. They saw with their own eyes that one light came on the opposite hill, and another light came on, and finally joined together and turned into a huge array of lights.

This is a shocking scene that no one has seen before, and whoever sees this scene for the first time will be dizzy and excited!

After a long time, the county magistrate came back to his senses and said with emotion: "The story of "Years, Months and Days" is about the tragic struggle between man and nature, man and God;

Zhang Ran didn't speak, squinted his eyes slightly, a faint smile hung on the corner of his mouth, the lights lit up the whole mountain, and the shooting could finally begin!

After the gaffers lit up the entire mountain with dysprosium lamps, the crew did not start filming immediately. When the light is first activated, the light from the lamp is a little greenish, and the color temperature is also different, so it will take a while to return to normal. However, the crew's workers all moved, touching up makeup, putting out cigarettes, and everyone was making final preparations for filming.

Half an hour later, the color temperature of the dysprosium lamp reached the standard 5600, the white balance returned to normal, the crew quickly took place, and the personnel unrelated to the shooting withdrew from the scene.

After receiving the information that assistant director Guo Fan could officially shoot, Zhang Ran picked up the walkie-talkie and asked, "How is the situation of the actors and extras?"

On the left side of the village, Zhou Xiaoxi, who was in charge of the extras, replied: "All the actors at point A are in place!"

On the right side of the village, the assistant director in charge of Li Xuejian replied: "The actor at point B is in place!"

Zhang Ran shouted: "Drone preparation!"

The drone operator replied: "Ready!"

The scene reporter pointed the board at the suspended drone, and began to report the number of scenes to the camera under the prepared drone: "Hello Sun!", Scene 8, Shot 1, Shoot 1!"

Zhang Ran shouted, "The camera is on!"

The camera assistant replied, "It's on!"

Zhang Ran shouted again: "Hit the board!"

The scene notes "snapped" and quickly withdrew from the performance area.

Zhang Ran shouted: "The extras are moving!"

Zhou Xiaoxi at point A clapped his hands vigorously and shouted at the actors and extras at the scene: "Everyone move, everyone move! Don't laugh, don't laugh!" As Zhou Xiaoxi's shout sounded, the actors and extras at point A began to move around.

"Ready—" Zhang Ran stared at the monitor, dragging a long tail note. This tail note is very important for large-scale scheduling, just like the countdown before the ignition of a satellite rocket, if a problem is found, it can be stopped in time to adjust.

The situation in each group was normal, and no one found the problem, so Zhang Ran shouted the last password: "Go!!"
