Chapter 258: Filming Begins, Bandits Attack
Early the next morning, Li Mu took a large group of people from the crew to the military camp that had been set up.
And the sudden emergence of thousands of people in this small county town has also caused a sensation in the local area, and many people are commenting on the roadside.
After more than half an hour's drive, Li Mu and his party also arrived at the destination of their trip.
To facilitate access to water, the barracks were built near Lake Uta and are equipped with a range of modern equipment, powered by five high-powered diesel generators.
After arranging the 6,000 soldiers, Li Mu handed over the training task to Xu Feng, and this time he specially invited several graduate students in history from the Renmin University of Beijing and the Beijing University with high salaries to be responsible for guidance.
The 6,000 men were to undergo a two-month military training, the content of which was drawn up according to that period.
While the others were going to Lingyi place, Zhao Yun's hometown of Zhaojiazhuang.
In a plain not far away, an ancient building was erected in it, this is not only a model house, it is similar to an ordinary house from the inside out, and it can be inhabited.
Li Mu looked around and kept nodding, there is a mountain with a large scale near the village, there are mountains, rivers and grasslands, it is really not easy to find such a place.
Let the crew put the props and equipment in place, assign a room to everyone, and then bring everyone together for a small meeting.
"From today onwards, even if our "Zhao Zilong" officially starts filming, I won't do any worship ceremonies, I believe that all demons and monsters will retreat in front of our thousands of soldiers!"
"Hahaha! Director Li is right!"
"That's it, what god to worship, learn the feudal superstitions of Xiangjiang!"
Li Mu continued, "It's not the first time you've filmed with me, everyone is very familiar with each other, so I won't say much, but you actors may not know me very well, I only have one requirement in the crew, that is, to film well, everything is based on this premise, everything else is easy to say, I have always been a good talker!"
The actors sitting below, Zhang Zhen, Zhang Jing, and Feng Shaofeng, who cooperated with Li Mu for the first time, didn't know much about Li Mu's temper, and now they felt a lot more relaxed when they heard him say this.
"Co-ordination!"
"Director Li, here!"
"What's going on in the first scene today!"
The coordinator lowered his head and flipped through the form, and said, "The first scene originally scheduled was to shoot the scene where Gongsun Chan met Zhao Yun near Zhaojiazhuang, but now the white horse over there has not yet arrived, I'm afraid it won't be filmed!"
"Then the second one!" Li Mu said.
The field attendant said with an embarrassed face, "The second scene is the scene where the Yellow Turban Yu Kou attacked Zhaojiazhuang and was repelled by Zhao Yun and his fellow villagers, and the three Yellow Turban leaders who were originally arranged were riding horses, but now there is none!"
......
Li Mu didn't ask the third scene, the script was written by him, and what scenes in the same scene were in his head.
"How did you arrange it, didn't you take this into account in advance!" Of course, Li Mu wouldn't say that he hadn't thought it through, so he could only let him take the blame, "Go back and check the shooting sheet carefully a few times, don't make such a low-level mistake again!"
At this time, Li Hang spoke, "If it doesn't have to be a white horse, it's not difficult, there was a tribe around here when I investigated, and it shouldn't be a problem to borrow a few horses." ”
Li Mu was overjoyed, he thought that it was not good to be a teacher, but he didn't expect it to be a turn of the peak, and immediately arranged, "All departments start to prepare, the actors go to make up first, and the other field affairs go to the barracks to find a few people to come over, Li Hang, you take someone to borrow a horse, it doesn't matter if you give more money!"
With Li Mu's order, this huge crew of three or four hundred people began to run slowly, Zhao Yun followed the makeup artist to make up, the on-site producer took people to the shooting site not far away, and the photographer checked the equipment.
Because it was the first scene, the preliminary preparations were more cumbersome, and it took a full hour to get it done, and at this time, Zhao Yun and several other dragon sets also painted makeup, and Li Hang also came back with a few herdsmen and a dozen horses.
To Li Mu's surprise, most of them were white horses.
"Director Li, this tribe raises more horses, so I chose more than a dozen white horses, as well as a black horse, a jujube red horse, and a yellow horse, these are the herdsmen of this tribe!" Li Hang said.
Li Mu smiled, "Okay... Thank you, don't worry, we'll take good care of these horses!"
And those herdsmen said that it didn't matter, and they didn't even want to be paid, they just wanted to see how they filmed on the spot.
Li Mu naturally did not refuse this request, and then asked the field affairs to inform Gongsun Zhan, Yan Gang, and Gongsun Yue, and let them bring someone over!
Everything was in order, Li Mu took the crew to the filming location, only 500 meters away from Zhaojiazhuang, it is a mountain trail, the road is rugged, no more than three meters wide, and it can only accommodate five people walking side by side at most.
"All departments check the equipment, and start shooting in ten minutes!"
"Old Yan, how is it, is this 3D camera still used to it?" Li Mu walked to the side of the photographer who was fiddling with the machine, and Yan Deming, who was also the head of the crew's photography team.
That's right, this time Li Mu plans to make a 3D movie, after all, special effects are very important for a war movie.
Lao Yan saw Li Mu coming, and handed the camera to the apprentice next to him, "Director Li, don't worry, this 3D camera is like this, but it is just equipped with two lenses, just pay attention to the balance of the two lenses, there is no difficulty!"
Hearing him say this, Li Mu was relieved, what a shot is like ultimately depends on the photographer, the director just asks how to shoot, whether the shot is good or not, but after all, it is the photographer who controls the camera.
Ten minutes later, all the departments were ready, and the first scene began.
"All departments are ready, the actors are in place!" The twelfth scene of "Zhao Zilong", the first shot, action!"
With Li Mu's order, only the sound of the camera running was left on the scene.
At this moment, there was a burst of laughter from the other side of the road.
"Qu Shuai, I heard that the Zhaojiazhuang we went to today is a difficult bone to gnaw, and the brothers from several mountains have not been beaten down before!"
"You know a fart, those refugees are also worthy of being compared with Benqu Shuai, I think I got the guidance of a great sage and good teacher back then, if it wasn't for the fact that General Rengong was killed by that Huangpu Lao'er, how could Lao Tzu come to be a bandit......" I only heard an arrogant voice and kept bragging to my subordinates about how powerful he was.
Slowly, this gang of bandits appeared in the camera, and one of the two leading horsemen on horseback was Wang Dajiang before, but now he has completely lost his original honest appearance.
After putting on makeup, he wore a rag robe, only half of the straw sandals on his feet, and half a yellow cloth wrapped around his head, riding on a horse and shaking off the image of a bandit leader!
