674 Let Soyuki bring a message to Japan
After giving Wang Jiaen his fifth birthday, Wang Xiaohu urgently convened the crews of "Mulan" and "Condor Shooting", and asked the actors of the two crews to prepare in the near future. γReading.comγ
But for the crew of "Shooting the Condor", many people have never been to the mainland, not to mention young people such as Huang Yuehua, Weng Meiling, Miao Qiaowei, Yang Panpan, etc., even Qin Pei, Qin Huang, Zeng Jiang and others have never been to the mainland.
So this group of people is quite nervous, and after receiving the news, they got together to discuss what to bring, such as what snacks you bring, what medicines he brought to avoid being unaccustomed to the mainland's water and soil, anyway, the crew went into battle to discuss it hotly.
When Wang Xiaohu arrived, these guys were discussing whether to bring a barbecue grill over, which made Wang Xiaohu feel very speechless, he waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said: "In fact, what everyone is discussing is all in vain, the mainland is not as poor as we imagined, and there will be no beggars everywhere, everyone's worries are superfluous." β
"If you don't believe it, you can go to the crew of "Shanghai Tang" and "Huo Yuanjia" to ask and see how they answered." Wang Xiaohu said with a smile: "You can go over without bringing anything, as long as you bring your acting skills and skills, I am responsible for all the rest of the eating, drinking, and Lazar, and I guarantee that when you come back from the mainland, you will all be fat and fat." β
"Ah Hu, you feed us like pigs!" Zeng Jiang said with a dark face: "It's still white and fat, we old guys can't eat too much cholesterol-containing food." β
Wang Xiaohu grabbed his hair when he heard this, indeed, the crew this time is more complicated than before, almost including the three generations of the old, middle and young people in the Hong Kong film and television industry, the luxurious lineup also means that there are many people, some people are taboo about this, some people don't eat that, and it really gives Wang Xiaohu a headache in terms of diet.
"Xingzai, go and count the things that everyone avoids and the foods they like to eat into a list, tell me two days before departure, and I will arrange for Zhang Yuan to help purchase."
Wang Xiaohu quickly thought of a solution, it's nothing for young people to suffer a little, these old actors are forty or fifty years old and have to follow themselves to the north and south, if they treat others slowly, it is somewhat unreasonable.
However, these reminded Wang Xiaohu, and after he returned home, he immediately quickly filtered the script of "Shooting the Condor" again, and made a list of scenes filmed in the mainland.
"Shooting the Condor" trilogy, each part must be filmed in the mainland, of which the iron-blooded Danxin needs to be filmed in Inner Mongolia, the East Evil and the West Poison are filmed in Peach Blossom Island, and Huashan Lunjian naturally wants to go to Huashan, in addition to these three classic scenes, the remaining filming scenes are mostly filmed in Jiangnan and other places.
The "Little Jiangnan" built by Concord Film and Television City with a lot of money is completely competent, so Wang Xiaohu immediately determined the time when the crew entered the mainland successively according to the position before and after the filming.
At the end of February 1982, the crew of "Mulan" took the lead in arriving in Yu County, Henan Province, to shoot the scene where Mulan joined the army for her father and Mulan returned.
has a beginning and an end, which is quite challenging to Lin Qingxia's acting skills.
Henan is very well arranged, and the "flower home" has been created with almost antique measures, with simple mud walls and a few thatched houses, which have become the set for the crew to shoot.
Some people may say that Wang Xiaohu is too picky, why not make Mulan's house a little brighter, the problem is that it is impossible for ordinary people to have many luxurious and multi-scene rooms in their homes during the Northern Wei Dynasty.
Moreover, the shape of the house and the historical atmosphere of the entire set have been demonstrated by domestic experts, and they have already provided a plan, and as soon as Wang Xiaohu's funds were in place a few months ago, construction had already begun here.
Lin Qingxia in the camera is sitting in front of the spinning wheel and is "chirping and chirping" as a household weaver, although she is wearing coarse cloth and rough clothes, she still does not hide Lin Qingxia's elegance and peerlessness, and suddenly heard the sound of war horses rushing from outside the house
At the beginning of "Mulan Ci", it was explained that the military situation at that time was urgent: "Khan ordered troops," "Twelve volumes of military books", and Mulan's family except for her elderly parents, that is, her young brother, how could her aging father go on an expedition to kill the enemy, but the call of the motherland was incumbent, and in the face of this double test, Mulan stepped forward.
Wang Xiaohu attaches great importance to the original work in this regard, but has made some adjustments to the script, such as Mulan is about to go on an expedition, she "buys horses in the east market, saddle chou in the west market, bridle in the south market, and long whip in the north market." β
In just four sentences, it shows that the military situation at that time was very tense, and Wang Xiaohu also put a lot of effort into the script: Hua Mulan heard that her father was going to return to the battlefield, and hid in the room and sighed, her elderly father asked her why she sighed, she shook her head and said nothing, seeing that her father was going out to purchase "war preparation materials", Mulan hurriedly offered to help with the purchase, so under the guise of purchasing for her father, she bought horses in the east market, saddle in the west market, bridles in the south market, and long whips in the north market.
After the crew arrived in Henan, Wang Xiaohu was filming these details for two consecutive days, and he said to Lin Qingxia: "Show the most beautiful, kindest, and most filial side you think." β
Lin Qingxia is indeed filming as required, and she appropriately expresses the psychological changes before and after a short period of thinking about a person who has never been out of the boudoir, but decides to join the army for her father.
In the twilight, Lin Qingxia quietly went to her father's room to take the military card, left a simple letter, held the war horse waist and crotch long sword, and reluctantly left the Hua family. "Yanshan Hu Qi chirped." How desolate and miserable.
βcutοΌβ Wang Xiaohu picked up the director's microphone and shouted, "After that, the crew began to clean the set and prepare to shoot the scene of Mulan's return." β
When she was resting at night, Lin Qingxia found Wang Xiaohu, she frowned and said, "Ah Hu, why is the shooting so slow these days?" β
Wang Xiaohu smiled and said: "Let's take pictures of your beautiful and moving side first, so that you can have a stunning contrast after joining the army." β
The story of Mulan is a story of a female surname crossing identity and surname, and successfully realizing "crossing the line" and "playing", just as staying in the same bed for many years but not identifying the identity of the other party, and repeatedly sending each other for eighteen miles is the most attractive part of the "Liang Zhu" story, and the surname Don't disguise is also the legendary surname of Mulan's story.
Seeing that Lin Qingxia was unclear, Wang Xiaohu continued to explain: "Do you still remember the "Mulan" filmed by the Shaw brothers more than ten years ago, that is, they did enough to write about the heroine's ambiguous surname, and even chose Ling Bo, who successfully reversed Liang Shanbo in "Liang Zhu", to play Mulan. β
"Oh, so you saw that I had the idea of filming "Mulan" after I played Jia Baoyu in "Dream of Red Mansions: The Golden Jade Romance", right?" Lin Qingxia said with a smile.
"Well, I think I told you about this at the beginning." Wang Xiaohu said.
"Really? I don't seem to remember. Lin Qingxia tilted her head and thought about it, and then asked, "What makeup are you going to wear tomorrow?" β
"It's better to be the same as if it wasn't." Wang Xiaohu said: "Mulan has been in the army for 12 years, and she has been fighting and killing on the battlefield all day, and there must be some changes in her skin, hands, etc., so it is a little rougher, if you feel that makeup is troublesome, I will let other stand-ins complete these close-ups." β
Lin Qingxia looked down at her jade hands, the mutton fat was very fair, no matter how much makeup she was wearing, it was impossible to defeat the rough feeling described by Wang Xiaohu, and immediately nodded and replied that she should use a stand-in to shoot, in fact, it is to shoot Mulan. β
The filming in Henan went very smoothly, Wang Xiaohu not only adjusted and improved the plot, but after filming, Lin Qingxia went into the house to remove her makeup, and showed her as a daughter to Chow Yun-fat, Zhao Gang, Xiong Xinxin and others, recording the surprise, joy and admiration of all comrades-in-arms when they learned that Mulan was her daughter.
In this way, even if the beginning and end of "Mulan" are filmed, just wait for everyone to leave for Inner Mongolia to shoot war scenes, and "Mulan" can enter the finalization stage.
Before leaving Henan, Wang Xiaohu still went to a set of Shaolin Temples to check the current development of Shaolin Temple, and of course, by the way, he also got the identity of a Shaolin lay disciple for Winterdur.
Today's Shaolin Temple has changed greatly compared to half a year ago, the car just stopped at the foot of Shaolin Mountain, and heard the sound of "Shaolin Shaolin" and "Shepherd's Song" all over the mountain, and Wang Xiaohu was greeted by Shi Yongxin, the CEO of Shaolin Temple in the future, he smiled and said to Wang Xiaohu: "Mr. Wang, you came just in time today, Miss Zong Yougui of the Shaolin Boxing Alliance will come to Shaolin this afternoon." β
"Oh? What did she come to do? Wang Xiaohu frowned.
"Naturally, I came to sign the employment contract, didn't we Shaolin just set up a martial arts team, Mr. Liang has been helping to deal with it these days, and the team is now training, which has changed a lot compared to the previous Shaolin, it can be said that the strength has increased greatly, and after hearing the news, I came to sign the contract."
Shi Yongxin replied honestly.
Wang Xiaohu smiled after hearing this: "You can sign it for her, I originally wanted to wait for a while to find her, but I didn't expect her to come to the door." β
"Shaolin Temple" was released in the book of the very hot, and the book has not paid the dividends to the Concord account before the year, Wang Xiaohu originally planned to go to the book after filming "Mulan" to inquire, and today I met Zong Yougui, just let her help with a word.
