Chapter 294: Qingyun Mountain
Qingyun Mountain in southern Fujian, Qingyun is high above, and it has the meaning of fairyland on earth.
Li Mu came to this city again, and he also met Liang Hongwen, who had given him a lot of help before.
Thanks to the filming of the crew of "The Return of the Great Sage" in Wudao, the number of tourists traveling to Wudao has skyrocketed in the past two years, and most of them come to Yunding Mountain and Tianxing Cave.
Although the number of tourists in Wudao is not much compared with those famous tourist attractions in the country, it is even only a fraction of other popular attractions.
However, this is also a breakthrough from scratch, which has greatly driven the tourism industry of the entire city, so that Wudao's service industry has also developed well.
Liang Hongwen, as the deputy mayor in charge of tourism, is naturally the primary hero, and at the end of last year, he was officially transferred to the executive vice mayor of Rongcheng, in charge of investment promotion and tourism.
Although Rongcheng and Wudao are both sub-provincial cities, the level has not changed and is still at the level of the main department, but the rights are not the same.
Moreover, as a member of the Standing Committee of the provincial capital, and further a mayor, he is a vice minister, and it is entirely possible that he will sit in the position of secretary of the municipal party committee before the age of 50.
The secretary of the municipal party committee of the provincial capital city will generally concurrently serve as the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee or the executive vice governor, and if there is no accident, he can basically sit as the governor of a province or even the secretary of the provincial party committee before the age of 60.
When he saw Liang Hongwen again, he was not as lukewarm to himself as before, although he was not very enthusiastic, but he would not throw himself aside just after meeting.
Qian is really a bastard!
Li Mu knew that all he valued was that he could bring more economic benefits to Rongcheng, and friendship or anything was nonsense.
Of course, if you make ten or eight movies here a year, then the friendship will naturally come out.
After dealing with Liang Hongwen and the new director of the tourism bureau, Li Mu rushed to the foot of Qingyun Mountain, where the crew was already waiting.
"Why are you two?" Looking at Chen He and Master Liu in front of him, Li Mu was a little strange, the crew of "Looking for the Dragon" was still rushing for the two of them before, why do they have time to pick him up now, could it be that their scenes have been filmed!
"Mr. Li is good!" Chen He stepped forward to say hello, "The crew is too busy now, Director Lin is taking everyone to tease the monkeys there, and the two of us will come over if we have nothing to do for the time being!"
Tease the monkeys?
Li Mu doesn't know why!
"Yes, Director Lin has been annoyed by those monkeys for the past few days!" said Master Liu, as if he remembered something funny, and he almost couldn't help laughing.
"Let's go, talk as we go!" Li Mu motioned for them to lead the way in front.
Yongtai Qingyun Mountain Scenic Area is named after the mountain peaks rising from the flat ground and standing on the green clouds.
The scenic area covers an area of more than 50 square kilometers, and there are seven peaks with an altitude of more than 1,000 meters, with the highest altitude of 1,130 meters.
The peaks are strange and the rocks are strange, the gorges are deep and the valleys are secluded, and there are many waterfalls. It is an eco-tourism area integrating canyons, forests, waterfalls, ancient volcanic craters, alpine pastures and bird nature reserves.
However, because of the relatively small number of visitors, the natural environment of the scenic spot is still relatively well protected, and there is no garbage everywhere like those popular scenic spots.
Along the way, Li Mu saw a lot of nationally protected animals, such as pine sparrowhawk, kestrels, white pheasants, red-horned owls, collared horned owls, bar-headed owls, small civets, clouded leopards, Sumatra antelopes, macaques, pangolins, tiger frogs, etc., which are all national second-class protected animals.
However, they were not afraid of people at all, and even two macaques followed them from the nearby trees.
In addition to these rare animals, there are many rare plants along the way, and there are even endangered yew trees. Although this kind of tree is not as good as the precious varieties such as huanghuali and golden silk nanmu, some good products can be sold for thousands of yuan a kilogram.
And what is even more rare is that yew has anti-cancer, lowering blood lipids and blood pressure, etc., and the effect of thousand-year-old yew is comparable to that of thousand-year-old ginseng.
However, whether in China or around the world, yew is a species banned by the United Nations, and is known as the "plant giant panda".
And listening to the explanations of the two of them along the way, Li Mu also knew what the crew was busy with now.
There are many macaques of various species on Qingyun Mountain, and Xiao Gray is an important role in the movie, and now Lin Feng is taking the crew to collect movements.
This is not a trained monkey in the zoo, a real wild macaque, although there is the assistance of the staff sent by the scenic spot, but the whole crew is still made to death by this group of naughty ancestors.
Generally, this kind of scene in Hollywood uses motion capture technology, that is, a tracker is placed in the key parts of the actor's body, and the motion capture system captures the position of the tracker, and then the data of three-dimensional spatial coordinates is obtained after computer processing.
However, this is very demanding for stuntmen, especially if the object is a monkey.
Originally, Li Mu wanted to invite some famous monkey opera masters in China to serve as super-actors, but they were all rejected one by one.
There is no way, I can only rely on the stupid method of motion capture, which records every movement of a large number of macaques at all times, and then synthesizes new clips through editing, and a small part can be made by computer.
However, this method is too laborious and laborious, after all, wild monkeys can't do everything you ask them to do.
After more than half an hour of travel, Li Mu saw Lin Feng again, and he was scurrying behind the monkey with the crew.
Seeing Li Mu coming, Lin Feng also asked everyone to pause and rest.
"Mr. Li!"
"How is Director Lin, is it going well?" Li Mu smiled when he saw the crew sitting on the ground regardless of their image.
Lin Feng said with a bitter face, "It's been almost a week since Xiao Ash's action capture, and now it's only half completed, and it is estimated that it will take a while, but fortunately, I left some simple shots for the assistant director to take everyone to shoot, otherwise it would be too much delay." ”
Li Mu comforted, "Don't worry, now we have time, everything is based on the quality of the movie, as long as we can catch up with the Chinese New Year." ”
"Show me what you're doing!" Li Mu said, coming to the back of the monitor.
Lin Feng hurriedly pulled out all the things he had taken before.
Well!
Li Mu nodded again and again while watching, worthy of a wild macaque, his every move was full of cunning and cleverness, and the monkeys in the zoo could not be compared to it at all.
In fact, if you go to the zoo or circus and find a few trained monkeys, you can shoot in a week.
However, the action can be done through post-production, only the eyes still have to be realistic.
