The yellow sand is rolling, the war horses are neighing, the arrows are flying, and the swords are shining. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Jin Zhongming is still dressed in the white-clothed Xiucai scribe outfit, but with an extra dark cloak, at this moment he has become the ambitious and world-watching Xichang Governor Yuhuatian.

In front of him is the big scene of the final battle that the crew worked hard to, manpower, and material resources.

The yellow sand is rolling, which is the effect created by the efforts of dozens of equipment team workers. Not only small hair dryers, but also large hair dryers were carried on their backs by manpower, although the wind was so strong that three people still needed to hold on to the rope to stand firmly, but the whole venue was orderly, and when one hair dryer failed, someone immediately carried another hair dryer to relay to follow.

The neighing of the war horses was also the result of the hard work of dozens of horse field workers. Some horses need to charge at the camera, some need to neigh, and some need to be killed by an arrow. To this end, the horse crew used all kinds of means - immediately maneuvering, dragging the horse down, and even Jin Zhongming personally saw a horse fall to the ground because it needed to be completely overturned, so that the field workers had to tie it up and tie it to the back of the vehicle, and then the off-road vehicle suddenly exerted force to make the horse successfully roll up with all four hooves rolled upward.

Arrows are flying sideways, not to mention, in this scene, everyone in the West Manufacturers team guarding the inn is holding bows at risk, and the militarized fans of the West Factory who attacked are all riding horses and holding crossbows. In order to complete this kind of big scene and shoot a situation where bows and arrows are flying almost like a battlefield, the crew not only invited hundreds of group performers with equestrian and martial arts skills to carry bows and arrows on their backs, and gallop on the desert in front of them, but also set up dozens of cameras in one go, which are high or bottom, far or near, capturing all the wonderful shots.

As for the sword light and sword shadow, in fact, there is no need to say much, because what Tsui Hark is best at is the production of various Qimen weapons, but this does not mean that the weapons in his movies are just strange shapes, on the contrary, almost every weapon he draws himself can fit the role. Just like Zhao Huai'an's ordinary long sword, it is simple and ingenious, implying that this is a chivalrous man with a leader's demeanor; and Ling Yanqiu's erratic hand-changing sword shows that this woman is deeply affectionate but extremely chic; there is also the Qiankun circle of Bu Ludu's internal and external double blades, as long as you look at it, you will feel that this Tatar woman is wild and mysterious enough; as for Hagang Tongga's giant shield, as long as it is lit on the ground, it can directly show this person's heroic strength; and Gu Shaotang's Guan knife with boomerang, one is straight and the other is endless, symbolizing that this character acts boldly on the one hand and is affectionate on the other……

Even, when talking about this topic, we can't fail to mention the sword that Yuhuatian is holding by Fanzi, this sword seems to be just an ordinary sword that sharpens iron like clay, but after it is really used, it can fly out of two auxiliary swords at the same time, and it can kill people invisibly with true qi. Therefore, this sword is actually a 'three-son sword', in Tsui Hark's words, it symbolizes the deep concealment of the character of Yuhuatian!

However...... Glancing at the carefully crafted prop sword, and looking back at the spectacular scene in front of him, Jin Zhongming couldn't help but feel a sense of loneliness...... It's a pity!

"Group A No. 1 machine. Tsui Hark, who was sitting in the general control room, suddenly picked up the walkie-talkie and gave an order. "Pay attention to Kim's expression, give a close-up! Yes, it's that lonely expression...... Very good...... No problem, just shoot like that!"

"What is he thinking?" asked He Jiping, an idle screenwriter sitting on the side. "This kind of look is very wonderful and appropriate to appear at the beginning of the civil war in Xichang, at that time he could feel a little powerless about the stupidity and betrayal of his subordinates, but now it is all a pot of porridge, shouldn't this be the reaction?"

"It doesn't matter. Tsui Hark shook his head with his cigar. "Ji Ping, you are not a director, you don't understand what is here. In this big scene, we used fifteen directors and dozens of cameras at the same time...... In this case, in fact, all the logic of time and space does not exist, and everything needs to be sorted out by post-editing......"

"Oh, I see. He Jiping nodded again and again. "So we can't just leave the scenes that we think have a drama, we have to stay if we think there is no drama, right?"

"That's right. After taking a puff of cigar, Tsui Hark pointed to the screen and began to discuss with the other party. "What's more, I really think his eyes are quite tasteful, you said it was a good idea to put it at the time of war, but ...... My first reaction was, can we put this shot on the moment when we die in battle? There must be something between these two people that can only be understood and cannot be spoken, right?"

He Jiping was slightly stunned, and then began to think seriously.

The time of the continuous battle in the plot is only a day, and it is estimated that it is only about half an hour on the movie screen, and it is still uncertain. However, in the actual filming, even if the crew did not count the previous preparation activities, it has been filming for more than ten days so far.

In the past ten days, dozens of cameras have been turned on from sunrise to sunset almost every day, and the 3D master control room is almost 24 hours a day. Correspondingly, during the day, the horses, equipment, vehicles and other field workers and actors work together, and at night, soft technicians such as special effects, editing, screenwriting, and art work all night. As for the core of the director team, it almost used a way of sleeping and waking up to get through this time.

However, such hard work is not in vain, the time came to the end of April, as the Tianmo Film and Television City, which is located in the center of Inner Mongolia and the capital, began to warm up, this drama is finally coming to an end.

"Tomorrow is mainly a make-up shot, which is all small scenes, mainly to make the plot more coherent, mainly the actors' literary dramas...... It's also the last hard work......" In the hotel conference room, Tsui Hark knocked on the copywriting in front of him with a tired face. "Inform the actors who need to be refilmed. ”

"It's all here. Zhang Zhiliang pointed back to the huge conference room. "Notify what?"

"Ahh Tsui Hark smiled embarrassedly. "I'm busy, tomorrow Yuchun, Xiao Magnesium and Sheng Jian, the three of you need to repeat the scene where Tan Luzi died in battle. Weekly News ...... There are no tasks, you can rest. But Boss Li, your task is heavier, you have to work with the young emperor to add some shots to the scene before the big stall head died, and then you have to make up two shots in the desert with Xiao Jin...... Where's Kim?"

Everyone looked around, but they really didn't find Jin Zhongming.

"Do you want to make a call?" Jet Li instinctively touched his mobile phone, but found that he hadn't changed his costume, where did he get his mobile phone?

"No, I don't. Zhang Zhiliang waved his hand. "I guess I didn't bring my mobile phone with me, so I went to other rooms to ask other people in the crew, he likes to hang out with the workers recently. ”

Someone immediately got up and ran errands, and then they did bring back the news quickly: "There is a field record that has lost his wallet, there are thousands of dollars in it, and Mr. Jin Zhongming took someone back to the desert to help him find his wallet......"

Everyone in the conference room glanced at each other, but they didn't say anything...... How to say it, I can't say.

"Oh. Sure enough, Tsui Hark just answered and didn't say much. "Then when he comes back, Boss Li and I will go directly to him...... Anything else?"

It's scary to see that the conference room is quiet, and after being busy for so long, it's scary to suddenly have nothing to do.

However, seeing this situation, professional producer Sun Hebin suddenly smiled and said: "Master, I have an idea." You see, since they have all come to this one, if they go to Baiyangdian to shoot the boat scene again, I am afraid that there will only be a few leading actors (Jin Zhongming, Jet Li, Fan Shaohuang) ...... The field work is more than half of the walk. I mean, while the scene on Tianmo's side is over, let's have a finale banquet! After all, for the entire crew, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow are probably the best scenes......"

"Good!" Tsui Hark struggled to squeeze a smile out of his exhaustion. "As it should be...... Actually, I thought about it for a while, the finale banquet will be held the day after tomorrow, and everyone will have a good rest and recuperate their spirits the day after tomorrow! Everyone is fierce before entering our "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" crew, and everyone can't leave the crew like tired ghosts......

The crowd laughed, and then naturally dispersed.

However, after the meeting, Zhang Zhiliang was half a step slower, and then took the initiative to embellish behind Tsui Hark and Jet Li. The people around naturally knew that these were the three biggest people in the crew who wanted to speak, so they pretended not to see it, and then they all sped up and dispersed, and even Zhou Xun went back to his room with his hands behind his back.

"What's the matter, Lao Zhang?" Jet Li was in good spirits, and he gave way to Zhang Zhiliang behind him as he walked.

"That's right...... I think Xiao Jin's mood has been a little wrong lately. Zhang Zhiliang bowed his head and replied.

"I can see it too. Tsui Hark replied with drooping eyelids. "I helped the field reporter find the wallet, and I also helped Dapeng carry the fan...... He's been doing too much of this lately, but then again...... He didn't delay filming, and it's almost over, right?"

"Not now. Zhang Zhiliang shook his head. "But there's still a big show in Baiyangdian...... And it's mainly Boss Li, him, and the young emperor......"

Jet Li nodded and shook his head again: "Having said that, Xiaojin's professional attitude is still not said, I was impressed by him four or five years ago, the professional attitude of Koreans, the open-mindedness of Americans, and the pragmatism of Chinese can be seen in him." ”

"I'm not blaming him. Zhang Zhiliang shook his head again. "I trust him too, but ...... Isn't the whole crew a little slack now?"

"What do you mean?" Tsui Hark immediately lost his tiredness, and stopped standing in the hotel corridor, and Jet Li also looked at the big director who actually played the role of 'fire captain' in the crew.

"Old Xu. Zhang Zhiliang replied seriously. "The movie has been filmed for more than three months, and the main battlefield is here in Tianmo, plus everyone has worked so hard during this time, so ...... Even if many people know in their hearts that there are still scenes to be filmed, it is estimated that they can't lift the spirit of the previous one. Personally, I guess that when tomorrow passes, everyone will be completely relaxed...... This is human nature, otherwise Xiao Sun would not have proposed to hold a finale banquet here just now?"

"Makes sense. Jet Li nodded again and again, everyone is a person who has lived on the set for decades, and he didn't think too much about it before because he was too tired.

"You think...... Will Xiao Jin be unable to hold back because of his lack of experience?" asked Tsui Hark with a frown.

"I ...... I don't know. Zhang Zhiliang shook his head after thinking for a while. "Kim doesn't look like the kind of person who can't hold back, but ...... I don't understand what he's thinking now, which makes me feel very uncertain, plus I'm going back to Xiangjiang to rest after you go to Baiyangdian, so I want to ask him before leaving. ”

Tsui Hark was silent.

But at this moment, Jet Li, who had sharp eyes, suddenly pointed to the location of the elevator entrance of the hotel: "The opportunity is here, say Cao Cao Cao will arrive, Xiao Jin is back." ”

Tsui Hark and Zhang Zhiliang looked up together, and sure enough, they found that it was Jin Zhongming who came out of the elevator.

"I'm sorry. Jin Zhongming spoke first. "What did you say in the meeting, is it going to be refilmed tomorrow?"

"That's right. Jet Li replied with a chuckle. "Tomorrow, the scene where the two of us fight each other on horses will be repeated. ”

"No problem. Jin Zhongming replied very neatly. "Anything else?"

"The day after tomorrow, we will hold a finale banquet. Zhang Zhiliang added. "Then go to Baiyangdian. ”

"It should. Jin Zhongming still answered very neatly. "Most people have to leave before going to Baiyangdian, saying that the finale banquet is a bit early, but the loose meal is true. ”

Zhang Zhiliang and Jet Li glanced at each other, but they had nothing to say.

However, Tsui Hark suddenly opened his mouth at this time, and naturally took over the conversation: "By the way, has the field worker's wallet been found?"

"Found it. Kim Jong Ming grinned. "Sir, you can't imagine where your wallet fell...... A few of us searched for a long time but couldn't find it, and finally found that the wallet was pressed under the camel's ass......"

Tsui Hark and the others couldn't help laughing.

However, after laughing, Zhang Zhiliang finally couldn't help it: "Xiaojin...... I've noticed these days that you're always looking to help out everywhere...... And this is not the same thing as the state of entering the drama when filming the literary drama in the inn before, how can it ...... Any ideas?"

Jin Zhongming finally became serious: "Actually...... It's nothing, I was afraid of shaking the morale of the army, so I wanted to wait until the movie was over to talk to the master, but since you asked, it doesn't hurt to talk about it now. ”

"Go to my room. Tsui Hark clapped his hands, then turned around first.

At ten o'clock in the evening, the four people in the crew, who can almost be called the most important, sat face-to-face in Tsui Hark's hotel room.

"I'm a little disappointed......" Jin Zhongming was a little confused as soon as he opened his mouth, but Jet Li and Tsui Hark both had some reactions.

Jin Zhongming glanced at the three of them, and knew that Tsui Hark and Jet Li had already understood what they meant, so he turned his head to Zhang Zhiliang: "Actually, the reason why I took this movie is partly because of the master's enthusiasm." The other part...... is because as an actor, especially an actor who grew up in the Han cultural circle, he always has his own feelings for martial arts. However, the shooting in the past few days has made me a little ...... The feeling of being caught off guard. Everyone worked hard and did their best, but I, the leading actor with a lot of scenes, didn't have to do anything, just stood there on horseback......"

"I know what you mean. Jet Li shook his head before Jin Zhongming finished speaking, but he did have the most say on this issue. "Actually, I feel the same way, it is obviously a very dazzling martial arts scene, desert horses, swords and swords, but when we actually shoot, we just wear sensing costumes in front of the background curtain and wave the sword a few times at will. I'm okay, I have a lot of other scenes, but the Yuhuatian you played, the martial arts are too high, so high that they can only be interpreted with special effects, most of the time, let alone use moves, even casual movements don't need to be posed, just move your eyes, pose and expression. But then again, Xiaojin, in the same way, I don't actually have the same sense of loss as you...... Because Jet Li is old, my body and mental strength can no longer support the kind of martial arts movies I had when I was young, and at this time, I can continue to show my martial arts image in a martial arts movie...... It's already content. As a matter of fact...... After this movie, I really don't want to touch any hard-bridged and hard-horse action movies, people are old, and what they lose is not only ability, but also passion. Of course...... Again, I understand your thoughts...... But there's really no need to feel lost. ”

Jin Zhongming bowed slightly.

"Actually, there is no way to do it. Zhang Zhiliang was relieved after figuring out Jin Zhongming's loss, young man, who doesn't have any momentum. "This is the development of the times. Xiaojin, you have also been a director, you should understand that after Cameron brought 3D technology to movies, the rules of action movies have completely changed. ”

Kim Jong Ming sighed, and then lay down on the sofa with his head up.

"Take martial arts, for example. Zhang Zhiliang spread his hands. "People of your age think that Huang Feihong, who cooperated with Boss Li and Director Xu, is a martial arts classic in their minds, but in fact, the real spokesperson of Huang Feihong was Guan Dexing's senior, who filmed Huang Feihong more than 100 times, but never used Weiya's ...... So when he saw Jet Li flying around in the movie, he panicked directly. And now, when the new era comes, where will the change be? That is the relationship between man and air. In the past, in martial arts movies, your opponent was always a human, but now your opponent is always air! You need to dance your sword at the air, punch at the air, and make an expression at the air...... Because everything can be produced for you in post-production, and even compared with the confrontation between people, the confrontation between people and air, and even the confrontation between air and air, it is more advantageous, because today's young audiences prefer to watch the visual effects that change in the air, just like young people 20 years ago liked to watch 'Love Tiger Oil'...... Xiaojin, movies also have to succumb to the times, and this change is not necessarily a bad thing now. ”

Zhang Zhiliang said that it is reasonable and well-founded, but for this statement, Jin Zhongming chose to shake his head: "Director Zhang, I can understand Jet Li's big brother's statement, because age and passion are personal things, so the communication between his predecessor and my junior, no matter which one of them, I will accept it with gratitude...... However, there are some things about the concept of the film that I don't bury in my stomach. Actually, even if you don't say it, I'll say it, I think a movie, special effects are one thing, progress is another, because this is a must for market selection...... Regardless, however, there are some things that are always a necessity for a good movie, such as...... A good movie must have a complete storyline and character connotation no matter what, because the latter is the soul of a movie. ”

Zhang Zhiliang was silent.

His reaction was not that he felt that Jin Zhongming's words were correct to the point that he was irrefutable, nor did he feel that the other party's words were so naïve that there was no need to refute them, but that this matter had nothing to do with him. After all, the reason why I care about Jin Zhongming's recent state is because of the loyalty of cannibalism, since I came to this crew to be a director, even if it is only the second director, even if I will leave in two days, but just with professional ethics, I must also pay attention to the psychological state of the actors, which is my own code of conduct.

As for...... When it comes to the question of a movie or the soul of the film, the only one who needs to answer is Tsui Hark.

And as expected, Tsui Hark, who had not moved, lit a cigar again: "To be honest, Xiaojin, I have been waiting for your statement for a long time, because we have already tried to talk about this topic when you first came to Tianmo." However, the crew was in a lot of trouble at that time...... I don't have the energy to talk about it, and now, since the crew has come to the final stage, and you have completed the duties of an actor, it doesn't hurt to talk about it. ”

Jin Zhongming stared at Tsui Hark tightly.

"I know what you're really incomprehensible about. Tsui Hark put down his cigar cigarette, then pinched his chin and replied. "You're not hesitant about technology, you're puzzled by the share of technology...... Just like our movie, everyone has worked so hard for more than ten days...... So how much of everyone's hard work can be shown in the movie? or even ...... Isn't it as good as that computer-drawn tornado? I can tell you clearly...... I'm afraid it can't be compared. You and Boss Li have more tornado scenes in the studio than the whole crew has worked hard to get the battle scenes! It may even erode the integrity of the plot and lose the logic of the plot as you feared...... You should feel this, right?"

"Hey. Jin Zhongming nodded. "There is no definite explanation of why Yuhuatian went to the ancient city...... How could such an ambitious person be able to look at a little gold, what he was pursuing should be the forging technology there and even the ability to manipulate the celestial phenomena...... However, our previous shoots only left a hint of this. ”

"All I can say about that is to do my best. Tsui Hark shook his head. "You said before that I stuffed too many things, which would make the audience unable to see clearly, and the audience is not obligated to explore the details inside. So, now it seems that I am indeed a little arrogant...... However, I don't want to let the 3D effect opt out of it anyway...... As for the reason, it's very simple, you have already said it when you gave a speech at Beiying, if you can't even make a movie, what qualifications do you have to talk about movies? I have to get a certain box office first, and then I can make the next movie, and then I can continue to discuss technology and connotation in the next movie. ”

Jin Zhongming suddenly felt a little weak.

"Little Gold...... Actually, there is another reason, you are a Korean, I am afraid it is difficult for you to understand what I said, but I still have to say it. Tsui Hark picked up the scissors and cut off the cigar tip in his hand. "That is, when I came to the mainland from Xiangjiang, I felt very early on that Chinese films have always been in a very difficult position, and if you want to survive here, you need to overcome a lot of things, and in this case, I have very few choices...... And although I'm not a very responsible person, I can still do these things if I make movies seriously and lead the team seriously. Choosing between technique and plot, I can only choose technology...... Because technology not only brings the box office, but also spreads. And the plot and character connotation, this kind of thing is just the timeliness of a movie...... At most, I will be scolded by real fans, right?"

Jin Zhongming suddenly remembered the sentence on the storyboard that the other party gave him before.

"Anyway. Tsui Hark's voice suddenly rose up. "The film is destined to be a commercial success because of the application of 3D technology, as well as a technical reputation. However, it is also certain, as you fear, that the plot will be sacrificed due to the heavy use of 3D technology, which will attract polarized reviews...... But no matter what, I, Tsui Hark, have the ability to handle it, because this is my movie!

At this point, what else can Jin Zhongming do? He had to choose to leave, and Jet Li and Zhang Zhiliang also got up and left.

"Little Kim. When Jin Zhongming walked to the door, Tsui Hark suddenly called out to the other party again. "Since your environment is better than mine...... That maintains this idealized ideal...... Not necessarily a bad thing!"

Jin Zhongming nodded, then bowed and left.
