Chapter 132: The Silly Bird Blows the Trumpet
Only by withstanding the baptism of heavy rain and wind can we practice calm and calm.
Yang Lin did not reach this state, and the reason why he was able to be indifferent in the ridicule of the sky was only because he could see the truth of history clearly through the fog. This is an advantage that allows him to take the lead among the elites who are destined to become big shots. This is also a kind of pressure, with an incomparably bullish cheat, if you can't break through and achieve a hegemony, you can simply soak yourself and drown.
Yang Lin took Zhong Chuhong and Wu Zhenyu to the Special Zone and joined the crew.
Zhong Chuhong was very uncomfortable, since that day in Zhao Yazhi's house after a ridiculous night, she obediently agreed to Yang Lin to join the crew of "Assembly Number". There is no way, a woman is already like a man in front of another, and any reserved self-esteem is like a broken eggshell, shattered. Although she has been using drunkenness as an excuse to constantly comfort herself that everything is an accident, she also knows that she is just self-hypnosis. In the silver for themselves. While being self-conscious, he gradually couldn't extricate himself.
No agreement, no constraints, free and easy, the future is all according to your own preferences, is it the lifestyle that you have been pursuing? Zhong Chuhong didn't know, and she didn't want to know. She only knows that she doesn't want to get married right now, she loves the feeling of being in the spotlight and loves a relaxed and uncommitted relationship. As for the day I want to get married, I want to settle down, let's talk about it then. If there is wine today and drunk tomorrow, who cares about tomorrow's right or wrong?
Wu Zhenyu is in two completely different states from Zhong Chuhong, excited and excited. Now he looked at Yang Lin, and even had a feeling of "the death of a confidant". A film that invested in a Hong Kong film record, Yang Lin's most important pioneering work, and some mysterious political factors, he can be chosen to play such an important role, all Hong Kong actors Yang Lin only bring him and Zhong Chuhong, what kind of value and trust is this?
Wu Zhenyu didn't know how to say it, he only knew that he had to do his best to show his ability and value in front of those mainland actors and fight for Yang Lin.
Outside the gate of Xinghua Hotel, in addition to the crew members from the mainland and Hong Kong, Yang Lin saw Jiang Wei at a glance. There is no maturity and stability of later generations, nor the natural momentum of later generations, only youth and edge.
Jiang Wei also saw Yang Lin, he took two steps forward, stretched out his hands and shook Yang Lin tightly, with an excited face: "Hello Director Yang, I'm Jiang Wen." ”
He is a relatively wooden person, his surname is a little introverted, and he is not good at expressing his inner emotions and thoughts with words. But he knows that he, a "rookie" student who has just graduated, can have the opportunity to play the leading role in this big production, because the director in front of him, who is younger than himself, is against public opinion.
Yang Lin smiled and patted the shoulder of this future domestic big name very affectionately: "Work hard, I am optimistic about you." You know, in Hong Kong, I've always been known for reusing new people. ”
Jiang Wei nodded again and again, saying that he would go all out and live up to Director Yang's expectations and trust. made Yang Lin a little embarrassed, how could he have a taste of making a report and holding a conference?
In the subsequent audition, Jiang Wei's performance was absolutely remarkable. The character of Gu Zidi is a typical image of a soldier during the war years. He has rich combat experience but a low level of education, and his surname is straightforward but cautious and calm. Open-minded, simple and intelligent, especially the most attractive dedication to his surname Gerry, is the soul of this character.
Jiang Wei's appearance is average, and he is definitely not the tall and handsome type, but he can accurately grasp the core characteristics of the characters and know what the connotation and purpose of this play are. I have to say that the most first-class actors in the mainland in the future will already be extraordinary and powerful just after their debut.
Without any accidents, Jiang Wei, as the protagonist, was unanimously approved by the entire director team. However, Zhang Yimou and Han Shanping are mainland filmmakers, but they feel incredible and admired Yang Lin's vision of daring to insist on Jiang Wei playing the role of Gu Zidi with just a glance at the photo.
The auditions that followed went well. The highlight of this play, except for a grain that requires a certain amount of acting skills, is all in terms of visual effects and script plot, and the requirements for actors are not too high.
After all the actors were finally confirmed, Yang Lin looked at the cast, and a smug smile appeared on his face. Jiang Wei, Zhang Fengyi, Zhang Tielin, and Chen Baoguo are all just graduated academics, and in the future, they will all be important young Zhuang factions in the mainland film and television industry. From this list, it can be seen that the mainland film and television industry is eager and determined to reform.
vigorously cultivate new talents, hoping that they can shoulder the heavy responsibility of mainland film and television reform in the future.
Coupled with Ju Jueliang and Han Shanping of the director team, Zhang Yimou and Pan Hengsheng of the photography team, as well as Wu Zhenyu and Zhong Chuhong, after this lineup has been won for more than ten years, it is simply a starry light and a group of stars. If at that time, gather these people to make a film, it is estimated that the actors' salaries will be hundreds of millions, right?
The actors are finalized, the crew is formed, and the preliminary preparations are basically over. Next, it's another important point, choosing a location for the shoot.
Most of the scenes in the drama "Assembly" had to be filmed in the north, because in order to render the atmosphere of the plot, almost all the battle scenes were in the ice and snow. During the time Yang Lin returned to Hong Kong, the crew had already selected a number of places, taken a lot of photos, and waited until Yang Lin came back and selected the location.
There is a thick stack of photos on the desk, all of which are recommended by peers from all over the world, as many as a dozen. There's the northeast, there's the northwest, and most of the north anyway. In addition to the natural conditions of the area, the choice of the main filming location must also take into account the traffic conditions as much as possible and the support of the local political axe. After all, for the mainland during this period, the scene of "Assembly Number" was too grand, involving too many software and hardware equipment, and there was no ready-made experience at all, and everything had to be carried out in exploration. Then the support of the local political axe or relevant departments will be crucial.
Han Shanping recommended himself: "Put it in the capital, although I am in Emei Factory now, the relationship between Beijing Film Studio is very good." And in the capital, the support of China Film must be very strong, and the allocation of various resources is very convenient. ”
Yang Lin nodded, and fell into distress again: "But it is only April, and there is no snow in the capital?" "Most of the scenes in "The Assembly" are icy and snowy, and there is no snow, and it is still called a fart ice and snow?
Han Shanping was stunned: "Do you want to go to Heilongjiang to shoot?" ”
"To be honest, my plan was to shoot in Heilongjiang." Yang Lin nodded.
In fact, it was a mistake he made himself. When he first wrote this script, Yang Lin only considered whether the subject matter in the general environment was suitable, but he didn't think of the shooting details in the movie "Assembly" at all. When I woke up to this problem, the matter was basically settled, and there was no way to change it.
He even thought about changing the setting and putting it in the south. But if you think about it carefully, then the atmosphere and effect of the whole play will be greatly reduced, and it will not reflect the spirit of bloody battle in that difficult environment. This drama pins on whether his future can proceed smoothly according to the established plan, and he must achieve the most ideal state as much as possible, and he must not be perfunctory, and all links must be strictly required.
Since the scene can't be changed, the shooting location can only be as far north as possible, so Heilongjiang, which is still icy and snowy, is an inevitable choice. Although the transportation conditions and various logistical arrangements are very difficult, we have to grit our teeth and persevere. He didn't have time to wait until winter to shoot.
Ju Jueliang frowned and said: "It's too far, it's more than twice as difficult, I'm afraid the budget and the shooting cycle will have to be doubled." And some of the models we have already made in advance are too expensive to transport, so it is better to give up all of them and redo them in the place. ”
Rubbing his swollen temples, Yang Lin sighed helplessly, blaming a careless and thoughtless person at the time, so he fell into the current dilemma.
He subconsciously flipped through the photos in front of him, thinking about whether there was a better solution. Suddenly, a photo came into view. Yang Lin took it out and squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully. It was a bare hill with a small river meandering through it at the foot of the mountain. The river is intermittent and not abundant, but only merges into small streams, and the riverbed on the left and right is exposed.
"Where is this?"
Han Shanping took it, looked at the number behind the photo, and shook his head: "It's in Huairou in the north of the capital, where the Beijing Film Studio often shoots." But it's useless, there's no snow. ”
Yang Linqi said: "Now that spring has begun in the capital, why is there no tree or grass in this place?" ”
Han Shanping twisted his eyebrows and thought for a while: "I don't know what's going on, it is estimated that my colleagues in Beijing Film Studio think that our drama has large-scale war scenes, so I found such a place, which is relatively open, and there is not so much trouble in filming." "A lot of explosives are used in war scenes, and there are many concerns in the mountains such as fire prevention and other factors. At this time, although there is no talk of environmental protection in the mainland, if a fire breaks out, it will be a big trouble.
This hill has a good view, there are no trees or grass, as long as there is a little snow, it is a very good shooting location. Moreover, this place is not far from the capital, and it is ideal to get the resource support of China Film.
No snow?
Yang Lin's eyes narrowed, remembering a very stupid, stupid, and expensive "snow-making" method in his previous life.
As long as there is snow, where can't you shoot? What's more, there is such a place where there is nothing to do and no grass, and if you get a little snow on it, it will be seamless and natural.
As soon as he talked about the method of "making snow", the audience gasped. I've seen a big deal, but I've never seen such a big deal, this is just burning money!
Yang Lin doesn't care, he doesn't care about spending money now, as long as he can shoot this "Assembly" smoothly as expected, then he can only make money. As for how much you earn, it is not taken into account.
Since they say I'm a stupid bird, I'm going to be stupid once. (To be continued.) )
