Sanwei Mountain, also known as Beiyu Mountain, is 25 kilometers southeast of Dunhuang City, stretches for 60 kilometers, the main peak is opposite the Mogao Grottoes, the three peaks are dangerous, so it is called Sanwei. 【Reading.com】

When the crew of "Mythology" and a group of more than 50 people came here, it was already mid-August, and after getting off the military vehicle, Wang Xiaohu put up a pergola and looked at the neat rows of tents in front of him, and said with a smile: "The scenery is good, much better than the exterior in Xi'an." ”

"It's good, it's just too hot!" Zhao Yazhi lay two lines of sweat beads on her handsome face, holding a fan and shaking it gently.

Wang Xiaohu smiled, Dunhuang is connected to Lop Nur by desert in the west, Gobi in the north, and connected with the remaining veins of the Tianshan Mountains. It is high in the north and south, low in the middle, inclined from southwest to northeast, with an average altitude of less than 1,200 meters, and an urban elevation of 1,138 meters. The alluvial fan belt of the Dang River and the alluvial plain of the Shule River constitute the inland plain of Dunhuang.

Endless deserts and large oases form a unique natural landscape. Due to its inland location, it is obviously characterized by a dry climate, low rainfall, large evaporation, large temperature difference between day and night, and long sunshine hours.

The reason why he came to Dunhuang to shoot the exterior scene originated from the fight with Zhao Gang that day, in order to better understand the soldiers' familiarity with the military formation, Wang Xiaohu had to take some time to go to the camp every day to walk around twice, once a soldier from Gansu put forward his opinion to Wang Xiaohu, saying that the exterior here is not as good as Dunhuang, according to the hints in the script, it seems to be in the Gobi, and it seems to be in the desert, and Dunhuang's Sanwei Mountain and Jingtai Yellow River Stone Forest are the most suitable places for filming.

The speaker was unintentional, the listener was intentional, Wang Xiaohu immediately understood, and communicated with the soldier for a long time, and finally decided to shoot the location of Dunhuang Sanwei Mountain and Jingtai Yellow River Stone Forest.

So, Zhao Gang led two groups of teams, a few of which rushed to Dunhuang Sanwei Mountain to build the crew set, and the main force took a large number of props, weapons, costumes, and war horses to Jingtai Yellow River Stone Forest to toss.

As the first stop of the crew, Sanwei Mountain did not shoot many scenes, because a small part of the script was flexible and ambiguous, such as Meng Yi's greeting army and the Hun army (it seems that there was no enemy army mentioned before, just be the Huns) battle, and finally Meng Yi took the princess and the Qin army to get separated, got lost halfway to climb the mountains and wade through the water, and finally arrived in Xianyang.

Wang Xiaohu's original intention was to shoot directly near Xi'an, and after the soldier said this, he was immediately moved. After all, in the original version of "Mythology", Jackie Chan and Tang Jili moved to several countries for filming, and they were busy in Gansu, Shaanxi, Guilin and other places in China alone, and they basically included the great rivers and mountains of the motherland.

Wang Xiaohu believes that since the "Myth" is defined as a Chinese national surname, it should reflect China's great rivers and mountains, so after careful consideration, he made such a decision to "work the people and lose money".

"Let's go to the tent to rest first, and get ready to turn on the machine in the afternoon!" Wang Xiaohu clapped his hands and said to the crew with a bitter face: "Finish filming early and finish it early." ”

"Brother Tiger, will this big sun scorch us?" Zhang Yuan said with a shy face.

"You kid has been getting more and more pimp with me recently, I'll clean you up after filming!" Wang Xiaohu glared and said, so frightened that Zhang Yuan shrank his neck to beckon the crew to unload the props.

In fact, there are very few props used in this scene, mainly to reflect the scenes where Meng Yi and the princess share weal and sorrow along the way, and the two slowly develop feelings, so the props are five or six sets of clothes, and the main actors are only the two of them, plus a few remnants of the Huns.

Although there are few scenes, but everyone is hard enough to shoot, a few shots were stunned for five days before the work was finished, on the military vehicle rushing to Jingtai Yellow River Stone Forest, Wang Xiaohu gave Zhao Yazhi a variety of massages to relieve muscle pain, he is a big man, but it is nothing that he is in good health, and the most bitter thing in the whole crew is Zhao Yazhi.

Because many scenes are filmed in the desert and the Gobi, the props and shoes worn by Zhao Yazhi are not very heat-insulated, standing on the desert for a long time, the geothermal heat and the shoes are thin, and a few blisters are grinded, which makes Zhao Yazhi frown frequently, but she never told her husband, knowing that Wang Xiaohu scolded herself distressed after seeing it after filming.

"Ah Hu, take a break, I feel better." Zhao Yazhi's face was a little pale, and she leaned sideways and whispered to her husband who was still helping her apply the potion.

"No, I've been suffering you for the past few days, hey, I'm too careless, if I knew that you had a foot injury, I would definitely have to slow down the filming progress, your body is the most important thing." Wang Xiaohu was extremely guilty.

"Huh." Zhao Yazhi chuckled, pulled Wang Xiaohu's hand over and put it on his face and said, "Everyone is working hard, I can't be special, if I don't support you, how can you ask the rest of the crew?" ”

"Azhi, thank you." Wang Xiaohu's heart was hot, he lowered his head and kissed his wife's jade hand, his eyes were red.

"We're husband and wife, and it always feels strange to say this." Zhao Yazhi withdrew her hand a little shyly, Wang Xiaohu hugged her delicate body, causing Zhao Yazhi to hurriedly whisper: "Hey, Ah Hu, don't be like this, Qingxia and Gillian are outside." ”

"It's okay, I'm just hugging you and nothing else." Wang Xiaohu said softly

Jingtai Yellow River Stone Forest is located in the southeast of Jingtai County, Baiyin City, adjacent to Longwan Village, Zhongquan Township. Surrounded by mountains, the environment is quiet, the air is fresh, the scenery is beautiful, and the ancient stone forest group is the most distinctive, and the scale is grand.

In a long and narrow valley in the middle of the Yellow River Stone Forest, hundreds of Qin Dynasty warriors wearing battle armor and holding various weapons in their hands are fighting in a phalanx.

More than ten meters in front of this team, there were twenty war horses slowly advancing, the first one was Wang Xiaohu, followed by Jackie Chan, Yuan Biao, Yuan De and others, they were all wearing Qin Dynasty heavy armor, riding black horses, slowly walking from the valley.

This valley is about 350 meters long, and photography tracks are set up every 50 meters on both sides of the road in the valley, and there is a photography elevator every 100 meters above the valley, and on the platform of the elevator sit photographers from Concord, Shangying, Changying, and Beiying.

However, the key camera is still grasped by the personnel of Concord Company, which is headed by Sammo Hung , Yuan Heping , Li Hanwei and Wu Di, Sammo Hung and Yuan Heping are responsible for the two world's most sophisticated large cameras, Li Hanwei is responsible for the rail car on the left side of the canyon, and Li Hanwei's former assistant Wu Di has added a lot of experience with the filming of "Myth" and was arranged by Wang Xiaohu to be responsible for the rail car on the right side.

At this time, Zhang Yimou was working hard to push the rail car, and in the past two months with the crew, his already not very white skin has become darker, but his body is much stronger, which has a lot to do with the crew eating meat all of a sudden.

I heard Yuan Heping, who was standing at the highest place, suddenly shout with a loudspeaker: "Attention to the photography teams on the left and right, immediately enter the acceleration state, and the rail car will run hard for me." Hear no! ”

"I heard you!" Zhang Yimou and the five assistants who pushed the rail car replied loudly.

"Okay, Myth Scene 1, welcome the princess and get ready to start!" After waiting for the field to finish playing cards, Yuan Heping gave an order, and saw Wang Xiaohu and others clamping the horse's belly with their legs, and the war horse under the crotch immediately accelerated and ran, Jackie Chan and others and the PLA soldiers behind them also accelerated forward.

Li Hanwei stood on the rail car and said to Zhang Yimou and others: "Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up!" I want to take pictures of Brother Tiger handsome. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Yimou exerted his strength to eat milk, and pushed the rail car forward with all his limbs, and at the same time let out a low cry in his mouth: "Ahhh

After a few sounds, I heard a pop, and Li Hanwei immediately let out a miserable scream: "Ouch"!

The rail car is fast, but the speed is too fast, and there is no track after running for a few tens of meters, so it's strange that the car doesn't derail, so I saw Li Hanwei shrinking and lying on the ground with the camera in his arms.

Seeing this, Zhang Yimou was immediately blindsided, and hurriedly went up to pull Li Hanwei: "Teacher Li, are you okay?" ”

"Get out of the way!" Li Hanwei gritted his teeth and carefully took out the camera to watch: "Damn, it's ruined!" It's all ruined, it's all your fault! ”

Isn't it, because the speed of the rail car is too fast, even if Li Hanwei reacts quickly at the moment of derailment, it also makes the camera and the earth come into close contact, and it is this light, the lens is directly reimbursed, no wonder Li Hanwei will be angry.

"I'll tell you to push quickly, but you should also look ahead, don't you know that the track is gone? Now it's okay, the lens is ruined, hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars, I can't afford to sell you! ”

Zhang Yimou lowered his head with red ears, and the whole person was stupid on the spot, hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars, even if he smashed the pot and sold iron, and borrowed all his relatives, he might not be able to pay for it.

"What's going on?" The crew all gathered around at once, and after learning what happened, Yuan Heping, as the assistant director, came to the scene and jumped like thunder, pointing at Zhang Yimou's nose and saying: "Mou Zai, what kind of fame are you doing, what do you say now!" ”

"I, I" Zhang Yimou raised his pale face, and stammered for a long time, not knowing how to return.

At this time, other people also began to point fingers, all of whom didn't understand this, didn't understand that, and would sabotage in addition to working hard.

You must know that there are not only Hong Kong staff in the crew, but also three film companies and hundreds of PLA soldiers.

The crew members of more than a dozen continents immediately surrounded Yuan Heping and others in the middle and asked for an explanation.

"Hey, you're great from Hong Kong, what's awesome!"

"Yes, why do you look down on us, we don't work less!"
