122 [The big scene of the crew - opening the mountain and farming] asks for a monthly ticket

Li Yange smiled at the corner of his mouth: "Teacher Gu is very happy to meet you!" ”

Gu Changwei waved his hand again and again: "I don't deserve to be called a teacher, if you don't mind, just call me Lao Gu." ”

"Well deserved!"

Not to mention age, just looking at his appearance, Gu Changwei can afford to be a teacher, and Li Yange naturally can't call people Gu.

At this time, a young man with messy hair, a long beard on his mouth, and a sloppy look: "Hello Mr. Li, my name is Xie Yuan, the actor of this movie." ”

"Hello, just call me by my name." Li Yange stretched out his hand and shook it with the other party.

Li Yange was a little impressed by Xie Yuan, but he was not profound, but I heard Chen Kaige say before that in order to play the role of a rural teacher, Xie Yuan not only did not take a bath in three months, but also took off two layers of skin. This dedicated character alone makes Li Yange admire it very much, much better than the young actors who lip-synced and read numbers decades later.

"It's raining in the past two days, everyone arranges the work at hand first, and then we will continue filming when the weather is clear, time waits for no one, I heard that China Film is about to hold the first China Film Festival, we must complete the shooting and post-production work as soon as possible."

Thinking of the news he heard in Beijing, Chen Kaige's heart was hot, this film exhibition led by China Film can be said to be the largest film exhibition since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and film companies from more than 20 countries will come to select films, and he said that he had to send "The Child King" to the film festival's catalogue of participating films.

Thinking of this, Chen Kaige said: "Lao Gu, you have been a little tired recently, hurry up and finish shooting the rest of the shots." ”

"Understand Director Chen."

Gu Changwei nodded, there are not many shots left in the crew, and when the weather is clear, it will be finished in two or three days.

"Yan Ge, post-production may be a little tight, you should also walk behind Lao Gu more these days, familiarize yourself with the environment here, so as to prepare for the soundtrack."

"No problem, Director Chen." Li Yange nodded, the movie "The Child King" was something he had seen a long time ago, and he didn't remember the plot very clearly, let alone the soundtrack, so he didn't have any chance to learn from it this time, so he could only create it with his own ideas.

……

It rained heavily for two days, and it was not until the early morning of the third day that the light rising in the east swept away the dark clouds that had been hidden in the sky for many days.

The weather is clear, and the crew is finally able to shoot normally.

Early in the morning, Li Yange followed Gu Changwei and walked in the direction of the school, the crew had no work in the past two rainy days, but he was not idle, in addition to walking back and forth in the village every day to find inspiration, he also borrowed the original work of "The Child King" from Director Chen.

"Teacher Li, today's scene is very important and dangerous, and you will follow Director Chen and them when the time comes."

When he arrived at the crew, Gu Changwei greeted Li Yange in advance, and today's scene is the biggest scene in this movie - burning the mountain!

Or to put it another way, it is called opening the mountain for farming, which simply means burning the trees on the mountain and cultivating the land suitable for farming.

This was very common in the sixties and seventies, when there was not enough land for farming, and the production team often did this, finding a place with more fertile land, burning the excess trees, and using the ashes of the burned trees as fertilizer to cultivate the land.

Yesterday, Li Yange heard Director Chen say that he was going to shoot this big scene today, on the one hand, because time waits for no one, and on the other hand, he happened to follow the heavy rain in the past two days to shoot the footage of burning the mountain.

In this way, in the wet mountains and forests, the spread of the fire can be effectively controlled, after all, there are many trees in the mountains and rivers of Yunnan and Guizhou, if he accidentally really causes a mountain fire, he can't afford to take such a big responsibility as a director.

More than half an hour later, the crew was ready in front of the dry firewood set up in advance in several places, Chen Kaige stood behind the camera, swept the smile of the past two days, and stared at the hillside below seriously.

He turned back to the assistant director and said, "Xiaolu, notify the people below that they are ready to start filming, just get more wet wood and burn more smoke." I remember that as soon as I shouted to stop, I immediately put out the fire. ”

"Got it, Director Chen." Qiang Xiaolu nodded in understanding, and then turned to the side of the hill to inform several crew members and asked them to prepare for the fire.

After a while, white smoke gradually drifted away on the hillside below, and Chen Kaige gave an order: "Old Gu, turn on!" ”

Gu Changwei quickly turned on the camera, adjusted the angle, and photographed the thick smoke and gradually diffuse flames on the hillside below.

Li Yange, who was watching the shooting from the side, saw that the fire below was getting bigger and bigger, and at the same time, he was terrified and admired Director Chen for daring to shoot, which must be put aside for future generations to be arrested!

"Has Lao Gu taken a picture?"

"Almost."

The smoke was getting bigger and bigger, and after confirming that Gu Changwei had finished filming, Chen Kaige also ran to the hillside below and shouted to the crew to hurry up and extinguish the fire.

When Director Chen came back again, he was already discouraged, "Okay, clean up and go to the next scene to shoot." ”

……

……

Central Conservatory of Music, Beijing.

Director Tang sat in the office and worked seriously, and after a long time, he rubbed his temples a little tiredly, picked up the teacup on the side of the table and took a sip. As the head of the composition department, he is not only busy with the assignment of students in the department after graduation, but also needs to cooperate with other departments to complete the graduation work.

Knock Knock –

"Come in!"

There was a knock on the door at this time, Tang Jihong looked up and saw that it was Wang Guotong, director of the Department of Folk Music, seeing that he was in a hurry, Tang Jihong asked: "I said Lao Wang, are you in a hurry?" ”

"It's not for the graduation ceremony yet!"

Director Wang sat down opposite Director Tang and sighed deeply: "The principal said that next month's graduation ceremony, Vice Minister Zhang of the Ministry of Culture will come to visit. ”

"Isn't that a good thing?" Tang Jihong was very stunned, there were leaders who came to visit, isn't that good?

"A good thing is a good thing, but if you mess it up, it's ugly."

Director Wang sighed with a sad face and said, "Originally, I wanted the students to rehearse "Ambush on All Sides", but the leader was coming, and I always felt that this piece was not suitable. ”

"And what do you mean?"

"I heard you say that last time the students who transferred from me to your department composed a song called "The Forbidden City"?"

Hearing that Director Wang hit Li Yange with the idea, Director Tang smiled in his heart and said, "There is such a thing. ”

"Then do you see if you can transfer Li Yange over and lend me a few days? I'll give it back to you when the students have rehearsed. Director Wang also heard about the "Forbidden City" composed by Li Yange for a long time, but he never had the opportunity to listen to it with his own ears.

Until yesterday, when he was worried about the opening work of the graduation ceremony, he also heard Li Yange's "Forbidden City" again from several senior students.

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you......"

Without waiting for Director Tang to finish speaking, Director Wang was anxious: "I'll just borrow it for a few days, and when the students are proficient in rehearsals, I'll let him come back, and besides, I let Li Yange transfer to your department, last time you said to invite me to dinner, but it hasn't been fulfilled until now." ”

Director Tang couldn't help but laugh and said: "It's not about this, as long as Li Yange agrees, I will definitely have no opinion, but he is not in school now." ”

"Not at school? Where's that? ”

"It should be in the Yunnan-Guizhou region." Director Tang is not very sure, when Li Yange came to ask for leave, he only said that he would follow the crew to the Yunnan-Guizhou region and come back in a few days. Not only did he not know the specific place, but even Li Yange himself did not know it at that time.
