"Director Li!"

As soon as he heard Li Rengang's call, Liu Dong hurriedly trotted over, and when he saw Zeng Xixin was also there, he hurriedly nodded and greeted, "Hello Mr. Zeng!"

"Sit down!" Li Rengang lit an after-dinner cigarette and nodded at him.

Sit... Where am I going, just two little stools sitting under your ass!

Liu Dong was a little speechless, but he still waved his hand, "Director Li, do you have anything to do with me?"

"Do you know how to ride a horse?" asked Li Rengang, looking up.

Tonight's scenes are all circus, Liu Dehua has been in the industry for nearly 30 years, and naturally can ride horses, in fact, there are few people in the upper class of Xiangjiang who can't ride.

Hong Jinbao before naturally knew it, and Li Rengang forgot to ask Liu Dong if he would.

Now Liu Dong was dumbfounded, let alone riding a horse, he hadn't even touched a horse, and the first time he saw a real horse in reality was when he was filming "Casting a Name", but he didn't have a circus at that time.

"No!" Liu Dong replied honestly, but after seeing Li Rengang's brows obviously frowning, he immediately said, "But I have ridden a bull and grew up on the back of a cow since I was a child!"

At this time, Li Rengang not only frowned, but his face was obviously angry.

None of the children in the countryside have ever ridden a bull, but can riding a bull be the same as riding a horse?

Li Rengang thought that Liu Dong was joking with him, but as soon as he wanted to have a seizure, he heard Liu Dong continue to explain.

"When I was a child, I sat on the back of a cow when I was herding cattle in the mountains again, when it seemed to have stepped on a snake, and when it was frightened, it ran all over the mountain, and I was lying on the back of the cow and dragging the rope of the morning glory, hugging the cow's neck, and running for more than 10 minutes without throwing me down!"

Liu Dong said that he still has palpitations, the buffaloes in the countryside are very docile, but once they are frightened, it is not something that ordinary people can control, and he doesn't know how he insisted on not falling.

"Oh!" Li Rengang's eyes lit up, he could ride on the back of a crazy buffalo unharmed, and there must be no problem riding a horse.

After all, it is much easier to ride on a saddle and stirrup right away than on the back of a bare buffalo.

Moreover, the horses used in the filming of the crew were all rented from the vicinity, and the local herdsmen all chose the most docile horses.

"Okay, wait for you to ride it and try it, we'll try to shoot it as much as possible!"

Li Rengang called the action director Yuan De again and asked him to pick a horse.

Liu Dong has no objection, this is still 2007, not 2017, a simple circus has to use wooden horses, rail cars, some ride on wood, and then find a few group performers to carry the wood and run forward.

What's even more excessive is that some actors ride directly on the necks of the group performers and ride people as horses.

When filming circus and war scenes in "Casting a Name", except for some more dangerous scenes, such as being injured and falling from a horse, and large-scale group scenes were not filmed in person, all the scenes were played by several leading actors in person.

Of course, injuries are inevitable, and the three leading actors Li Lianjie, Liu Dehua, and Jin Chengwu have all been injured to varying degrees.

Those actors who are clamoring to make a film with millions of dollars, how dangerous horseback riding is, and what to do if something happens, can they still be bigger than Li Lianjie's pomp, not to mention that Li Lianjie is now in his 50s.

It didn't take long for action director Yuan De to lead a black horse over, which was as tall as Liu Dong's shoulders.

That's almost 1.5 meters, which is taller than most buffaloes!

Liu Dong looked at the big horse in front of him and sighed, in the past, many horses on TV were just over the waist of an adult, and they looked like riding a donkey, but I didn't expect this film to find such a tall horse.

"This is the Hequ horse, which is produced in the grassland at the junction of Qingdao, Gansu and Sichuan provinces, and is the largest horse in China!" Yuan De looked at Liu Dong coldly and said without being salty.

Liu Dong didn't care about his gaze, stepped forward to take the reins, and pulled...

He was amazed to find that the horse was unusually docile, moving as soon as he pulled.

At this time, Li Rengang stood up and explained to him, "Don't look at this horse so tall, in fact, the Hequ horse has a docile temperament, a stable temperament, strong staying power, and fatigue recovery. It is generally used as an agricultural horse. ”

"Then Director Li, how do I see that many horses in movies are not so tall?" Liu Dong asked the question in his heart.

Li Rengang said with a smile, "Those are all Menggu horses, they are generally short, but they have strong endurance, and they can kick the head of a broken wolf with one hoof, and even wolves don't dare to provoke groups of Menggu horses on the grassland!"

He also said with some regret, "It's a pity that I can't get Sharma, the height is generally more than two meters, and it will definitely be more imposing when it is shot!"

...

Liu Dong smiled, it turned out that Li Rengang only chose such a tall horse to make the war scenes look better.

"Go up and try it, be careful, don't make too sharp noises on the horse's back, don't let the horse see very bright colors, especially red, and don't see bright lights......"

Liu Dong firmly remembered Li Rengang's advice and went through it in his head.

The horseback of nearly 1.5 meters is not difficult for Liu Dong, not to mention that it is also equipped with a saddle and stirrups, and he doesn't care whether these two things appeared during the Three Kingdoms period.

The horse that stepped down was only a little restless when Liu Dong first went up, but it didn't take long to regain its composure, its nose gently stirring, and its tail wagging from side to side from time to time.

Riding on the horse, Liu Dong's vision was much broader, and he could faintly see a large temporary tent in the distance, stretching for hundreds of meters.

That was Cao Wei's barracks, and it was also the temporary station of the crew, and it was just to break up the front part later.

Inexplicably, Liu Dong felt a sense of pride in his heart, thinking back to the Chinese textbook.

The desert sand is like snow, and the moon is like a hook. How to be a golden brain, walk quickly and step on Qingqiu.

But to make the dragon city fly will not teach Humadu Yin Mountain.

Lying down at night and listening to the wind and rain, the iron horse and the glacier fell into a dream.

After thinking about it for a long time, my brain was almost holding back, and I could only come up with such a few lines of poetry, so I thought about it or didn't pretend to be forced to read it, so as not to be laughed to death by someone who remembered the wrong person.

Just as Liu Dong was about to whip up and set sail, Li Manyu suddenly came running.

"Liu Dong, you wait!"

"Director Li, are you planning to shoot this scene tonight?"

"That's right, except for a few more dangerous shots, they are all real shots, and they won't use rail cars!" Li Rengang nodded.

"But how to ensure safety, it's dark and raining, it's too dangerous!" Li Manyu shook his head and said.

These agents are really troublesome!

Li Rengang scolded secretly and said with a smile, "Miss Li, don't worry, the other 20 group performances are all held by the action director team, they are skilled in horsemanship, and these horses are very docile, there will be no problems!"

"Really?"

Li Manyu turned his head to look at Yuan De next to him, with a clear disbelief in his eyes.

Li Rengang knew what he was worried about, it was nothing more than that he was afraid that these people in the Hong family class would do something when they were filming.

He looked at Yuan De with a smile, "Director Yuan, can you guarantee the safety of Liu Dehua and Liu Dong!"

Yuan De was a little aggrieved, he didn't look at Li Manyu, and said loudly, "Director Li, don't worry, we will definitely do our best to ensure the safety of the two leading actors!"

Before leaving, Hong Jinbao repeatedly told Yuan De that he must not do anything during the filming, and even ensure Liu Dong's safety, otherwise Liu Dong will rely on them if something happens.

In fact, Li Rengang did not consider replacing the entire action director team, but there are so many famous martial arts in the entertainment industry, Cheng Jiaban followed Cheng Long in the preparation of "The King of Kung Fu", and also invited Yuan Heping's Yuan Jiaban, Cheng Xiaodong also took a costume blockbuster "The Beauty of the Mountains", and Liu Jialiang, but he was already in a semi-retired state due to physical reasons.

Moreover, if the action director team is replaced, it means that most of the martial arts actions designed by the crew before will have to be reversed, and Li Rengang has no time.

PS: Bull riding is a real event, when I was a child, I herded cattle, I don't know what happened to a snake wrapped around the cow's feet, my cow kicked hard for a long time and couldn't shake it off, and ran directly in the woods, scaring me half to death.

However, I still fell, and my family searched for the cow all afternoon, and it was almost dark before they got the cow back。。。。。。
