Chapter 101: Windfall
One day in mid-July, it was cloudy. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The small mountain village where the crew of "The Legend of Mortal Cultivation of Immortals" is located does not feel a trace of heat, and is still in the cold temperature of spring.
The small mountain village is located at the foot of the mountain and is backed by a majestic mountain.
The only way to communicate with the outside world is a stone-paved staircase that spreads halfway up the mountain, about one meter wide, and winds its way to the halfway point of the mountain, which suddenly opens up and cuts into a simple concrete road about two meters wide.
The wind blows, and the mist that lingers halfway up the mountainside wafts, shrouding the winding staircase and looming in the air.
"Tsk, this miracle of nature is really wonderful!"
"Yes, isn't this the ready-made bone refining cliff, the junction of the staircase road and the simple cement road, which happens to be the intersection of the bamboo forest and the rock wall...... What a cost savings for post-production! ”
"It would have been nice to delay it for another month, because the deep mountains and old forests are indeed a month later than the climate change outside. If you come in August, this bamboo forest is absolutely lush and beautiful, and the bare and steep rock walls can also bloom a few flowers! ”
In the busyness of several physical special effects staff, Tang Nian and Lao Cheng couldn't help but sigh when they looked at the scene in front of them.
At this time, it was the third day that the crew of "The Legend of Mortal Cultivation of Immortals" was stationed in a small mountain village in the deep mountains, and it was also the penultimate scene of the protagonist 'Han Li' in his childhood, and the crew finally waited for this day.
Long before the crew entered the small mountain village, there was already a plan about the bone refining cliff scene when the Seven Xuanmen recruited disciples in "The Legend of Mortal Immortal Cultivation".
Very smoothly, the small mountain village has a cloudy day today, the humid climate makes the nearby mountains appear foggy weather, the small mountain village back to the towering mountains almost half of the mountain is covered by fog, it looks so fairy, ethereal.
Without waiting for Tang Nian and the two to finish their sighs, the crew had already dispatched and quickly set up the scene in the area of 50 meters before and after the stepped stone road and the simple cement road.
In front of the monitor, Director Zhang is carefully checking the brightness and fog changes of the scene through the lens.
The little actor who played the role of 'ten-year-old Han Li' on the side, under Tang Nian's explanation, was trying to understand what he needed to do after the filming started, and only a pair of black eyes on his simple face looked particularly clever.
But when the little actor squinted, his face instantly became honest and simple.
"Stunned, you have to behave well, you must stick to it later...... When you can't persevere, think about your father who is still recuperating in the township hospital, the better you behave, the faster his injury will heal! ”
"Brother Tang Nian, I understand, you are all good people!"
The little guy, nicknamed Ertun, wiped his nose and clenched his little fists.
Suddenly, a ray of sunlight hit the mist halfway up the mist-shrouded mountainside, and a seven-colored rainbow appeared in the sky. The sunlight brought the temperature, like boiling water filled with mist, and the originally silent mist completely woke up, and it seemed like a thousand horses galloping.
"That's it!"
Director Zhang suddenly shouted, and the physical special effects staff quickly began to get busy, grabbing the fog brought about by the changes of nature through the real-life materials, and transforming it into a place of worldly masters in the hollow valley.
"Go ahead!"
Tang Nian patted the stunned man on the shoulder and pointed to the more than ten children who had gathered outside the camera at the shooting site.
"Hmm!"
The second stunned nodded heavily and ran over.
"From here to the entrance of the Seven Xuanmen, you must pass through the bamboo forest, the rock wall, the thorns three checkpoints, with the sun setting as the deadline, and when you arrive at the exit, you will become an official disciple of the Seven Xuanmen, and the rest will be eliminated, but among the eliminated ones are outstanding, they can be promoted to registered disciples! Registered disciples are assessed every year, and those with excellent grades can be promoted to official disciples. Not only that, if the registered disciples stand out in the five-year competition, they can be transferred to the outer gate, and the monthly salary starts at three or two! ”
"Remember, you have to keep going no matter what, and if you can't do it, you can give up!"
"Let's go!"
Lao Cheng's role as the Outer Gate King surnamed Dharma Protector, after announcing the method of selecting disciples from the Seven Xuanmen, he stopped talking.
Some children are more clever and quickly pass through the bamboo forest area such as the 'stepped stone road', and then use both hands and feet to start climbing on the rock wall such as the 'simple cement road', and the suggested concrete road 20 meters away is paved with finger pressure boards, which can be counted as thorn areas.
In the camera, the speed of a group of children slowed down quickly after passing through the stone road, and a host position was fixed to shoot the performance of the 'young Han Li'.
Although the text script includes the original novel, Han Li was just ten years old at this time, but the actor was actually only six and a half years old, although he was not low, he was very thin, and he was a big step behind others when he just entered the climbing stage of the simple cement road with both hands and feet.
And the stubborn expression on the face of this little actor infected the entire crew.
In the picture, there are tears in the eyes of the little actor, his face is stained with dust, his little face is tense, he is gritting his teeth, and he is desperately holding on......
"Hey, no wonder some people say that reality is often more exciting than TV dramas, and people's imagination is never as surprising as what happens in reality!"
Lao Cheng, who is still wearing Dharma protector clothes, always feels that his nose is sour.
In fact, this little guy who plays the role of 'Young Han Li' is not a professional actor hired by the original crew, but a native of a small mountain village.
On the second day after "The Legend of Mortal Immortal Cultivation" was stationed in Xiaoshan Village, the professional young actor who was originally hired to play the role of 'Young Han Li' was sent to a hospital in a nearby township because of his unadaptability.
It turned out that his father stepped on the air and fell yesterday when he was climbing the mountain to chop wood, but at that time, his father gritted his teeth and insisted on returning home after chopping firewood, but he could not get up after dawn and fell ill in bed.
The boy's mother was at her mother's house a few mountains away and couldn't make it back, and the neighbors in the neighborhood didn't have the means to get out of the mountains quickly.
In desperation, the little boy had to run to the crew for help.
After the crew pulled out the vehicle and sent the little boy's father to a nearby township hospital for emergency treatment, they learned that the little boy's father had a broken rib and could only be recuperated in the hospital.
The little boy's family doesn't have much money, and the medical expenses are naturally paid by the crew.
However, the little boy was a grateful man, and when he saw that he could not repay the kindness, he could only carry a basket on his back and go up the mountain with an axe to chop wood, trying to pay off his debt by selling firewood......
When the little boy walked into the crew again with a basket of firewood on his back with a blue nose and swollen face, many people shed tears.
While Tang Nian wiped away his tears, he thought of a way to make it easier for the little boy to make money, that is, to let the little boy play the role of 'Young Han Li'!
It just so happened that the ten-year-old Han Li in the play also had a scene of going up the mountain to chop wood, which was very consistent with the image of the little boy in front of him.
After some interrogation, Tang Nian and the others were even more overjoyed, it turned out that this little guy also had a nickname, which happened to be the second stunned, which was exactly the same as Han Li's nickname in the book.
There is nothing more coincidental in this world.
Although the little boy is only six or seven years old, which is not quite in line with the 'ten-year-old Han Li' in the character script, the children in the mountain village are thin and weak at the age of ten because of malnutrition, which is basically in line with the actual situation.
So Director Zhang made a decision, the actor of ten-year-old Han Li, he was it!
Because he was almost acting in his true colors, several scenes of young Han Li were all passed over and over again, and there was basically no NG situation.
Only in the scene where Han Liyuan's third uncle came to the door in the city, the little guy NG three times in a row, because this 'third uncle' was played by the crew actors, and he was not the real third uncle of the little guy.
In the end, Tang Nian thought of a way to let the little guy treat the 'third uncle' as a doctor in the township hospital, so he filmed this shot.
Time passed minute by minute, and the scene of the Bone Refining Cliff was almost filmed, until the little boy's expression began to turn pale, and Director Zhang nodded with satisfaction.
"Click! It's over! ”
"The medical staff stepped forward and checked the body of each child, and if there was anything wrong, he should report it quickly and send it to the hospital immediately.
"The crew began to pack up the props and prepare to clear the scene, and in the next step, the crew of "The Legend of Mortal Cultivation of Immortals" will move to Hengdu Film and Television City, and finish filming all the indoor scenes of "Seven Xuanmen Fengyun", everyone will work hard, and strive to rush back to Hengdu Film and Television City tonight!"
Director Zhang took the loudspeaker and began to direct the crew to clear the scene, and then handed over the specific matters to Lao Cheng.
"Ah Tang, you take your assistant and the little boy, and arrange for another medical staff to follow, go to the hospital in the township and talk to the little boy's father, if you can, let the little boy's mother accompany you, and sign an agreement to let the little boy follow the group for a while......"
"Okay!"
"In addition, we negotiated with the hospital that our father's medical expenses would be borne by us......
"Then let's go first, and we will meet you in Hengdu Film and Television City later!"
“……”
"Grandpa Zhang, thank you! See you soon......"
The little boy waved his hand tearfully and said goodbye to Director Zhang, and the vehicles of Tang Nian and his party quickly disappeared from view, and the crew also accelerated the pace of clearing the scene.
