On the day of the opening ceremony, the sky was clear, everyone gathered in the Republic of China town square in front of the watchtower, Jiang Wen's royal photographer, the thin Zhao Fei carried a camera, and the radio engineer holding a microphone pole, they were also filming Li Xiaole who introduced the set of "Let the Bullets Fly" step by step.

I saw Li Xiaole in the camera walking to the temporary tent of the props group on the side, Xu Zhen and other props team members were sitting at a round table, the table was full of drawings and various molds, and it was also full of several Japanese katanas.

In another tent, along the two occasions, there were all kinds of props and costumes, Zhang Shupin, a costume designer invited by Jiang Wen from Hong Kong, was cutting clothes on the table, and there were several team members around him sorting out the makeup costumes for the seven bandits.

Li Xiaole walked to the table, pointed to the costumes on the table and smiled: "You can see that this time we have designed more than 5 costumes for each character, and there are 7 suits for Huang Shilang played by Fa Ge alone. He explained to the camera: "This time, Fa Ge is actually playing two roles by himself, which is not easy." ”

At this time, Zhou Yanfa, who happened to come in to pick out clothes, also found him, walked over with a charming smile, and said in front of the camera:

"Actually, Director Li can make a cameo appearance in a role this time, which is very important."

Jiang Wen, who came in with Zhou Runfa with his feet, also came over to join in the fun, took Zhou Runfa's camera and covered half of his face with his hand and said mysteriously:

"Not only did he play a role, but he also asked Zhang Shupin to design him the most handsome tunic suit, I can't figure out whether he is the protagonist or I am the protagonist."

After Jiang Wen finished speaking, Ge You, who was wearing a long hair hood in the back, also came over, puffed out his eyes and held the camera and said: "Don't listen to the two of them, they are all jealous of Director Li's handsomeness, two old men are not convinced of the old, for fear of being robbed by the director's tricks, come on Director Li, I am optimistic about you." ”

In the burst of laughter from everyone, Li Xiaole made a helpless expression to the camera, and was ridiculed by the actor in the tidbits, this is the inevitable treatment of every director, fortunately, he saw another person: "Let them continue to joke, now I will introduce you to my underground lover in the play, hey!" Look who this is! Teacher Jiang's wife Zhou Yun~~"

Li Xiaole finally seized the opportunity to fight back this time, and in front of Jiang Wen, he put his hand around Zhou Yun's shoulder and said with a smile: "This is my best friend in "Let the Bullets Fly", Mr. Jiang's favorite." ”

The plump Zhou Yun gently slapped the back of Li Xiaole's hand with his hand, and then smiled at the camera: "The role I play is a subordinate of Huang Shilang, and many characters in the play have a complicated relationship with me, of course, I have an underground relationship with Hu Wan played by the director, but in reality, he is like my younger brother, fooling me sweetly every day, and he has no director's frame at all, but his favorite actress in reality is not me~~ Lin Zhiling, come quickly~"

Zhou Yun finally had a chance to tease Li Xiaole, and pulled Lin Zhiling next to her to this side, "Come on, come on, you can clarify." ”

"Huh." Lin Zhiling stood next to Li Xiaole coquettishly, squinted at him, and smiled sweetly at the camera:

"Director Li is very good, I learned a lot during the preparation period for this shooting, and the role of the county magistrate's wife this time is a great challenge for me......"

"It's really a big challenge, Sister Zhiling, Teacher Jiang and Uncle Ge all have bed scenes~ This should be focused on publicity~" A young man from the props group in the back coaxed.

Seeing that Lin Zhiling was embarrassed, she turned around and glared at him coquettishly, raised her fist and said, "Xiao Xu, if you talk nonsense again, I won't spare you." The young prop male compatriots in the back row heard Lin Zhiling's coquettish reproach, and collectively covered their hearts and pretended to pass out by her, and the scene suddenly burst into laughter.

Under the command of the team that recorded the tidbits, Li Xiaole walked out of the tent and came to the open area outside the square, on the road in the Republic of China-style town, the crew paved a loess road, and the wooden prop house behind it also hung a banner of the "Let the bullets fly" opening ceremony.

I saw Shao Bin, Liao Fan, Zhang Mo, the three of them were riding white horses, racing horses on the loess road, Li Xiaole waved his hand, and the three of them came over in a piece of yellow dust on horseback, Shao Bin instantly entered his "pretending to be cool" state in the face of the sudden camera, and Zhang Mo and Liao Fan were a little embarrassed to touch their heads.

Li Xiaole clapped his palms with them one by one, turned to the camera, and said with a smile: "Just relying on the three powerful actors, they can't attract young female audiences, these are the young and middle-aged forces in "Let the Bullets Fly", let's listen to what these three handsome guys have to say." ”

Shao Bin, who was wearing a one-eyed long's eye mask, took the microphone, straightened his waist and said in a deep voice: "I think this crew is more professional than ordinary crews, and the professionalism of the staff is very high, which is the most haode I have ever seen." ”

Liao Fan sighed, and said with a shy smile: "It's the first time I've participated in this kind of big production, and I'm really a little nervous, I just want to start the camera so that I can enjoy Mr. Jiang's acting skills on the spot." ”

"Okay, there is enough time for the program material~" Li Xiaole looked at the time and said with satisfaction, and the tidbits shooting team was relieved At the same time, Zhang Mo next to him shouted anxiously: "Eh! I haven't spoken yet~ It's time for me to say it~ I memorized my lines all night yesterday~~ Director, give me a chance~"

Looking at the newcomer Zhang Mo's anxious and excited appearance, he amused a group of old birds in the film industry to hahadaxiao, a joyful atmosphere.

The start-up ceremony started at 11 a.m. as scheduled, as in the past, this time, the start-up ceremony was because of Hong Kong's Zhou Runfa and Zhang Shupin; So a simple worship ceremony is to be held.

Unlike the impression of worshipping Guan Gong and slaughtering pigs in the eyes of outsiders, Zhou Yunfa just hung a red cloth on the main camera.

Then let everyone silently recite their wishes, whether it is a "movie hit" or "overnight success", and several Hong Kong staff members kowtow to the camera one by one.

A group of young people in the crew couldn't help but mutter: "Weishenme wants to worship God, are we all materialists?" It's ridiculous to kneel down for the camera, isn't it? "Yes, this is purely feudal superstition, Hong Kong people are too spoofed." A group of mainland filmmakers laughed and ridiculed, but they didn't mean to come forward to mix.

Zhou Yanfa faced the criticism below, took the lead in stepping forward, looked around at the crew with bright eyes, and then said kindly:

"I'm sorry, this is our Hong Kong custom, it may not make you get used to it, I'm sorry to everyone here." said a bow, which caught the big guys a little off guard, and then explained:

"I know that you may think that we Hong Kong people are stupid, but what I want to tell you is that these are the rules that our predecessors have handed down, and these rules have their meaning.

We worship the camera, not to worship the gods to ask him for protection, but to be grateful, grateful for the emergence of the film industry, giving us the opportunity to start work, and at the same time grateful to the predecessors in the industry for us to create a good era, so that people like me can eat and not starve to death, the process of worship is to remind ourselves that I am only a small part of the movie, how lucky it is to have the opportunity to stand here and be fortunate to work with so many people, and at the same time to tell the camera my wishes with a pious heart, I hope to remind us that we must not disappoint those who give us money to make films, and also those who are willing to go to the movie and spend money to buy tickets to watch movies......"

Zhou Yanfa said with sincerity on his face, after tying his tie vigorously and tidying up his clothes, he turned around and lit three incense sticks, walked to the camera covered with red cloth, and bowed down reverently, and the solemnity of his demeanor made all the people around him awe-struck.

The young people in the crew who laughed and ridiculed them just now were all infected by the sincere emotions of this legendary Chinese actor, and silently went to line up to get incense one by one, and bowed down in front of the camera covered with red cloth one by one.

After this bow, the arrogance is gone, the impetuousness and arrogance disappear, and everyone's face has added a little more sincerity and modesty.

Li Xiaole was very satisfied with this atmosphere, and nodded to Zhou Yanfa gratefully, in the wide Loess Square, he gathered all the crew members of the "Let the Bullets Fly" studio here, and the main creators took turns to speak, encouraging and looking forward to the shooting, Jiang Wen and Huang Jianxing, the old mainland directors, have long been accustomed to the attitude that the director and producer is the king of heaven, and they don't bother to talk to the following or anything, they all casually say "Everyone do a good job." "Tighten the strings", I feel a little disdainful of this kind of formalism.

Zuihou is the turn of director Li Xiaole.

"Cinema is a brutal job, and we shoot in such an isolated environment, five, six, seven ......months," lamented that

Jiang Wen, Zhou Runfa, Ge You, Lin Zhiling, Zhou Yun, Jiang Wu, Liao Fan, Zhang Mo, Shao Bing and other leading actors, Shu Pin, Zhu Sujin, Wei Xiao and other main creators sat on a row of long chairs in front, and behind them were Xu Zhen, Zhang Shupin, Zhao Fei and other film crew members, everyone looked at Li Xiaole on the small stage in front of them.

"We have the most haode actor in Asia, the most haode photographer, the most haode art, and the most haode director ......" Li Xiaole said this, everyone was amused by his boasting, Li Xiaole also smiled and waited until the laughter was over before continuing:

"We, the most haode filmmakers in Asia, are about to be in such a place where birds don't lay eggs, tired like cows every day, eat the same as pigs, live like dogs, get up early and work hard all night, all for such a movie "Let the Bullets Fly", but even this does not mean that we can be successful......"
