Chapter 500: Red Sorghum

"Listen, what about this scene, I'm going from here to here...... Yes, yes, that's it...... In addition, this shot was to be shot in the evening, and the light at that time was just ...... "On the set in the sorghum field, Lao Mouzi was telling the crew members a request." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Xu held his arms for a long time and listened not far away, although the sun was very high, but the cool breeze blew a piece of sorghum to the side, and there was already a bit of autumn.

It's already October, and northern Shaanxi is the time of high autumn weather, which is very suitable for making movies, since Li Xu said that he would participate in the opening ceremony of "Red Sorghum", he will definitely not break his promise.

So, since he can't make it at the end of September, let's postpone it for a few days, and this little request is still okay.

"Seeing that you control it so well, I'm relieved, come on. When Lao Mouzi finished arranging, Li Xu patted him on the shoulder and praised.

"I would like to thank Mr. Li for supporting me and giving me the opportunity to play. Zhang Yimou showed a sincere smile.

After the crew of "The Big Parade" suffered a little, he now completely understands the importance of the right to speak to the director.

After all, he served as a photographer for Akira Kurosawa, even if it was a deputy, and then served as the director of "1942", even if he had to shoot according to the storyboard, his vision was improved.

So, when filming, listening to Chen Kaige and their discussion, I couldn't help but add it in.

Generally speaking, the photographer can join the discussion, after all, it is a part of the crew, but when he says too much, especially when he is full of "this is not right" and "that is not good", Chen Kaige is unhappy.

He is a figure in the Beijing circle, and he is still an artistic family, and last year's "Yellow Earth" also won an international award, even if it was a second-tier small award. Therefore, how can he look at Zhang Yimou, an old farmer from northern Shaanxi, because he has good photography skills and has been in charge of international directors like Akira Kurosawa, so he will not use him as a photographer.

Zhang Yimou participated in the discussion just to better implement his requests, but he actually tried to dictate his films, especially ...... It's actually right, it's very annoying.

In short, Zhang Yimou was very annoyed that he was squeezed into the crew of "The Great Military Parade", if it weren't for the fact that "The Great Military Parade" also had a bit of a political mission, maybe Chen Kaige would have asked to remove him.

Therefore, even if he didn't rest for long and was about to work again, Zhang Yimou still entered the crew of "Red Sorghum" in high spirits, Li Xu promised him before that this movie could let him play his ideas.

This is an inevitable thing, the original storyboard, color is like that, and it can barely be regarded as the original team, so Li Xu only made thirty or forty more freehand paintings and handed them to Zhang Yimou, so that he could handle them at his own discretion.

At least, he played well in "1942", and before Li Xu came to the crew in northern Shaanxi, Yu Yanjing saw the finished product. In terms of overall effect, it is on par with the original.

The picture and color are inferior, but it is a problem of equipment, not a crime of war, and Lao Mouzi still has put in a lot of hard work.

The storyline is quite smooth, the characters are relatively full, there is no original Catholic line, there is no strange emotional line of the original landlord escaping from the famine, the whole movie focuses on showing the original appearance at that time, although Chang Kaishen is beautified, most of the time the difficult and painful scenes of escaping from the famine are vividly expressed.

Coupled with a slightly rough sense of picture, it is more delicate than the original, giving people an alternative reality. Lao Mouzi's handling of colors is really a must, although he liked to play red and purple in his previous life, but he didn't expect to be good at cold colors.

That feeling of cold despair is very clearly interpreted through cold tones, and the actors who play refugees are all first-class, which can be said to be the complete original version on this piece.

Therefore, the odds of winning the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film should be greater.

"If you really nominate you, you should pack up and come to Los Angeles to win glory for your country. After saying a few words about "Red Sorghum", and pulling the topic to "1942", Li Xu patted Lao Mouzi on the shoulder and said.

"That's for sure!" Zhang Yimou smiled, immune to his "glory for the country".

Someone has already greeted him, and this international friend is a little different, so I don't need to ...... I care about it.

"Hey, what are you running, come here!" Li Xu shouted at the group of people on the right at this time, and a guy dodged and hid behind a few people.

"Calling you over, did you hear that!" Seeing that the guy was still hiding, Li Xu immediately shouted again, "Jiang Wen, you want to hide again, believe it or not, I will come to your room tonight, pull you out, and make you kneel on the washboard?"

The people who heard it laughed out loud, what is this, and it is not...... Jiang Wen blushed and came to him honestly: "Li ...... Mr. Lee......"

"Who are you calling?" Li Xu pricked up his ears and looked around, as if he was greeting someone else.

"No...... I mean......" Jiang Wen wanted to explain.

"Don't explain, it was called well at the beginning, I don't care who put pressure on you, and now if you want to change it to Mr. Li, there is no door!" Li Xu immediately waved his hand.

Jiang Wen rolled his eyes, and wanted to explain a thing or two, but he heard him say again: "If you dare to scream again, when you go back tonight, you will not kneel on the washboard, but on the ants, you can neither kneel and run away, nor kneel to death!"

He said it quite loudly, even Zhang Yimou, who was walking away, heard it, and the laughter around him became louder, and there was a lot of laughter.

Jiang Wen's face was bitter, and then he bowed to the end: "Brother Li, Master Li, I beg you, can you spare me?"

"You see, you have to say, am I some kind of man-eating tiger? Li Xu put on a disgusted expression that he knew was fake at first glance.

"You're not, you're better than a tiger, if you want to keep talking, maybe the big guy will think ...... That one...... Something happened. Jiang Wen looked honest.

"You don't understand this," Li Xu immediately patted him on the shoulder, "That's what you want." ”

"To ...... Is this the effect you want?" Jiang Wen looked inexplicable.

"yes," Li Xu shrugged, "Let's put it this way, in Los Angeles and in Hollywood, if an actor has worked with a producer many times, and the producer is very optimistic about that actor, and neither of them is married, then there is usually some gossip between them." ”

"What kind of gossip?" Jiang Wen looked bad, but asked subconsciously.

"Split the peach and break the sleeve. Li Xu blinked.

Jiang Wen's face immediately fell, okay, he actually knows the allusion of the peach and broken sleeves, not bad, worthy of praise.

"Uncle Li, if you want to do this again, I'm going to turn my face. Although Jiang Wen said this, his face was still bitter.

"Okay, okay," Li Xu laughed, no longer teasing him, "So, tell me, how does it feel to be the leading actor for the first time?"
