Chapter 250: The "Pimp" Returns
Before leaving, Baibars decided to temporarily entertain Yue Song for a "lunch", and the location was arranged in his own felt party.
In addition to Baibars himself, there were also some more important people in the clan, especially those who were elderly, and they were even more in attendance.
And, of course, his son, Farabi, who nearly caused disaster for the tribe.
It's also quite interesting to say, Farabi originally wanted to guide Yue Song to the foothold of the tribe, and took the opportunity to gather the clansmen to repair this Han man, but he didn't expect that the two sides finally turned enemies into friends, and he himself was almost beaten by his father because of a big disaster.
It's just that, the key is that the clansmen's respect and value for Yue Song made him feel very uncomfortable, for a young man with strong blood, Farabi was deeply affected today.
Baibars was not so delicate, and he called Farabi to dinner with him, mainly to make a good marriage—of course the Hazakhs would not say that, but probably it was true.
This meal was very enjoyable, basically nomads are like this, whether it is mutton or all kinds of pasta, it is very suitable for Yue Song's appetite, but what happened later made him a little unexpected.
In order to entertain the big financier, Baibars took out his treasured "Elite" liquor, three whole boxes, and in the end, everyone except Yue Song drank it.
Yue Song looked at the ill-intentioned eyes of these people, knowing that they wanted to find a place at the wine table, he couldn't help but pout, his body had long been immune to alcohol, and there was no difference between drinking and drinking water.
Of the three boxes of liquor, Yue Song solved one and a half boxes alone, and the rest was packed by a group of Kazakh men, but for some reason, the amount of alcohol these people did not seem to be very good, and each person could not drink an average bottle, which was far worse than the herdsmen on the Mongolian steppe.
Yue Song was a little puzzled at first, but it didn't take long for him to understand.
The Kazakhs are devout Muslims! How can there be so many Muslims who drink well?
Although today's prohibition of alcohol has long been a non-existent for these believers, especially in countries outside the Middle East, Muslims, including those of the Kazakh ethnic group, have set a limit in their hearts and dare not let go of drinking, so it is not surprising that the amount of alcohol is not good.
As for whether there are Muslims who drink well...... It's really hard to say this, anyway, Yue Song believes that there is.
After pouring down a group of people, Yue Song quickly left the Ha gathering place and rode back to the set on a meteor.
He, the director, was not there all morning, and the atmosphere on the set was still solemn, but the whole crew was "brainwashed", and no one was absent-minded and delayed.
As soon as they saw him coming back, the whole crew stepped forward at the same time, shushing the cold and asking for warmth, but the expressions on everyone's faces were a little nervous, after all, the bearded policeman had already explained the situation before, and everyone knew that Yue Song was going to trouble the Kazakh people.
No matter how good his skills are, as the saying goes, two fists are hard to beat four hands, except for those crew members who have been "brainwashed", some of the main actors are all up and down in their hearts.
Fortunately, the director finally returned safely, which also made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
However, when everyone learned about the recruitment plan of the "Three Thousand Turkic Cavalry", they were all a little speechless, it seems that the little martial god has even settled the Ha people?
At this moment, several police cars came to the set with a whining, and they were also notified that the person who was really in charge of the crew was back!
Yue Song didn't bother to pay attention to these soy sauce beaters, and directly threw them to one of his assistants, and he stepped forward to deal with the matter.
The next morning, Baibars took the lead with more than 800 people to the ancient city of Shule, where the movie was filmed, and after seeing Yue Song, he informed the others that they would come one after another.
The prestige and reputation of Baibars was so high that in less than an hour, more Kazakh herders appeared on the set.
In the whole morning, not only did they gather enough of the 3,000 people that Yue Song said, but also far exceeded this number, almost 3,800 people.
Among these people, the Kazakh people accounted for the vast majority, but there were also many herdsmen of other ethnic groups, and it seemed that the price given by Yue Song was very attractive, so that the number of people who arrived far exceeded expectations.
Yue Song urgently stopped the herdsmen's gathering, even so, as of about 12 o'clock in the afternoon, there were already more than 4,500 herdsmen on horseback, these people were wearing their own national costumes, carrying a scimitar on their waists, looking like a dusty servant, basically no need to wear makeup.
This can scare the county leaders enough, this kind of group surname incident is a major matter that kills people, not only the county police force is dispatched, but even the armed police have been sent to maintain order at the scene.
Yue Song, together with several assistant directors, screened it as quickly as possible, and eliminated a thousand old, weak, sick and disabled.
The eliminated people were quite reluctant at first, and they refused to leave around the crew, a little bit of wanting to make trouble, but they didn't need Yue Song to do it, and the "group performance" led by the Kazakh people took the initiative to help the crew clean up all those who wanted to make trouble.
These people are also worried that there are too many people, and Yue Song will reduce the remuneration negotiated in advance, after all, the three thousand people who were promised before, although he said verbally that "there is no cap", but if people feel that there are too many people, and the remuneration is evenly distributed to everyone's head, wouldn't it be equivalent to everyone taking less money?
As soon as the troublemakers drove away, the police and armed police sent by the county to maintain order also breathed a sigh of relief.
In the end, there were 3,574 people.
The "Turkic cavalry" of more than 3,000 people, as long as the lens is well filmed, can definitely create the effect of hundreds of thousands of troops, and even does not need to be processed with CG special effects in the later stage.
Because the crew did not provide food, these herdsmen prepared food before they came, and those with better conditions brought naan and barbecue, and those with average conditions could only nibble on dry dough cakes.
Although the conditions are a little harder, just thinking about the fact that they can earn 200 yuan a day, these herdsmen are all happy in their hearts, even if they only work hard for a week, they can compare to the usual month's income.
These people's equestrian skills are very good, but how to integrate them into the film, this is the problem that Yue Song has to consider.
In his mind, a 3D three-dimensional pattern soon emerged, and the set was a huge sand table, with the crew, 500 "Han troops", more than 3,000 "Turkic cavalry", terrain distribution, and ancient city structure......
All the people and things came to Yue Song's mind one by one, not only with clear layers, but also extremely clear.
With the profundity of cultivation, such a "set" that is purely composed of imagination is no longer difficult for Yue Song.
In just the blink of an eye, he already had a case in his heart.
In the afternoon, the first siege scene began.
The overwhelming Turkic cavalry swept in, including a small city with only more than 2,000 people stationed, and the Han army captain Geng Gong led his Han army to start a bloody battle with the Turks.
In fact, there are not many real long shots, mainly focusing on the moment when the Turkic cavalry attacked the city, and the real focus is on the male protagonist played by Yue Song and the Han army under his command.
The simple task of the thousands of herdsmen was to repeatedly sprint towards the city walls, creating an atmosphere of tension in which a tide of 200,000 Turkic troops poured in.
The job was simple and boring, and by no means easy, and many of the herdsmen's horses were running out of strength after an afternoon of shooting.
But this is also something that can't be helped, it's not a good horse in itself, and it's not easy to stick to the end of the shooting.
Yue Song didn't have much to do, so he could only explain to these people and ask them to feed the horses more horse material when they went back, so as not to have no mounts that they could ride tomorrow.
The herdsmen are not worried about this, if they are tired of a horse, it is a big deal to change another batch, they all live by grazing, who can not have a few horses at home?
Since it was the first time to shoot, the run-in was not very good, and Yue Song didn't plan to shoot the night scene tonight, so he ordered the field affairs to send money to these herdsmen to settle the bill.
After only one busy afternoon, it was easy to enter the account of 200 yuan, and the herdsmen were all happy when they left, but they did not know that the real hard work was still early.
Starting tomorrow, there will be 24-hour on-call shooting, and then these herders will know that making movies is not so easy.
In the final analysis, Yue Song is not a philanthropist, even if he donates 100 million yuan to set up a charitable foundation, it does not mean that he likes to waste money in vain.
In the next few days, as the crew's run-in got better and better, the shooting efficiency also went to a higher level, to paraphrase a common saying, the so-called getting better, and the herdsmen gradually understood that the money for this part-time job is not so easy to get.
But no matter how hard it is, no herdsman is willing to quit, after all, this kind of hard work is relatively speaking, compared with real grazing, filming is quite easy, if you catch up with the night scene, Yue Song is not stingy, and will add another 100 yuan on top of 200 yuan.
In general, with more than twelve hours of shooting every day, except for Yue Song, who has always maintained a state of continuous rotation, everyone has enough time to rest.
The long-term shooting seemed very boring, although Yue Song didn't feel tired, but he was a little irritable, and to put it more directly, he looked like a woman.
seems to have a heart, just when the filming of the siege scene was about to enter the final stage, Qin Lan returned to the crew again.
Of course, this time she didn't come back alone, but brought two "tails" with her.
These two people are acquaintances of Yue Song, one is Liu Tao, and the other is Huo Siyan, both of whom they met at Chen Zihan's house.
Yue Song's heart moved, and he somewhat understood what Qin Lan meant, looking at it like this...... She seems to have pimped a trip specifically for herself? (To be continued.) )
