Zhang Yimou's use of color is among the best in the world.

The reason why "Hero" has received such wide acclaim has a lot to do with his use of color with personality and allegorical meaning.

He's a man who pays attention to details.

When filming the scene where Liang Chaowei and Li Lianjie chased on the water, he hoisted Liang Chaowei and flew dozens of times in order to shoot a picture of "stepping on a whirling ripple on the calm and mirror-like lake".

When filming the scene where Zhang Ziyi and Maggie Cheung fight each other in the yellow forest, he wanted to shoot the ideal effect of flying leaves.

But because of local nature protection measures, all leaves on the trees are not allowed to be picked, and he even paid for the villagers to help him collect the leaves.

Then it was recycled according to the standards of Premium, Grade 1, Grade 2, and Grade 3, and finally the perfect result was taken.

In order to find the broad-leaved forest scene he wanted in "Ambush on All Sides", he also ran all over the Northeast.

He has been to the Great Xing'an Mountains, the Little Xing'an Mountains, and the Changbai Mountains, but he has never found a satisfactory scene.

Later, he checked the information and found that Ukelan has the highest per capita forest cover in the world.

And because the economic level of Ukelan is not high, the local manpower and venue costs are low, and the shooting cost is cheaper than in China, and it will not involve environmental protection issues.

Therefore, after going to Wukelan twice to investigate, Zhang Yimou made a decision to shoot the mountain and forest scenes of the movie here.

After the filming of the bamboo forest in the mountain city, Zhang Yimou took the crew out of the country and flew to Ukelan.

Zhang Yimou's chosen filming location was in the Ksovo National Forest Park in Ukeland, at the eastern end of the Carpathian Mountains.

It is an untouched area of virgin forest.

Before Zhang Yimou and his party came, Zhang Weiping had already flown over in advance and settled everything.

By the time Zhang Yimou led the crew to arrive in Ukelan, he had already pulled the crew up.

Because of the unique location resources, many foreign crews will come to Ukelan for filming, including Chinese crews.

When Fang Long was filming "Police Story 4: Simple Mission", he filmed here.

The most exciting part of the movie is the snow-capped mountain chase that was filmed in the ski resort of Lilviv.

The shot of Fang Long flying out of the top of the snow-capped mountain rock and grabbing the helicopter has always been listed as one of the most dangerous stunts in the world film industry, which is memorable.

Not only that, Fang Long also "borrowed" Ukelan's nuclear-powered submarine and appeared as a prop in the movie.

In addition to Fang Long's popularity, it also proves that as long as you are willing to spend money, you can get anything in the local area!

However, although Ukelan is a global film and television production price depression and labor costs are not high, the quality of the employees here is not low.

There will be a "co-production service" for foreign crews, and overseas production companies only need to bring in core personnel such as directors, leading actors, directors of photography, and lighting engineers.

Other conditions such as venues, group performances, makeup, costumes, props, and camera equipment can all be replaced locally.

It is precisely because of this that Zhang Weiping pulled up a crew so easily.

After meeting with Zhang Weiping and his party, Zhang Yimou took the crew to the mountains.

The depths of the Ksovo National Forest are generally closed to the public, but Zhang Weiping managed to get authorization through its operation.

However, the road to the mountains is very difficult, even if you are riding an off-road vehicle, it is difficult to walk an inch.

When entering the mountains, the weather was not beautiful, and it rained heavily, and the black soil in the forest absorbed the water and became extremely muddy.

In order to save time and bypass the depression, the local guide directed the convoy into the forest beside the road.

Then, he took a ticket and got out of the car with a chainsaw.

Everyone in the car only heard the roar of a chain saw, accompanied by the sound of wood breaking, and a towering tree in front of the car in the forest with two people hugging collapsed.

Zhang Yimou was shocked and hurriedly asked the translator about the situation.

The translator explained that in Ukeland, the most valuable thing is the big trees that can be seen everywhere.

After hearing the interpreter's explanation, Zhang Yimou sighed with emotion.

If it is in China, if there are no formalities and such a big tree is cut down casually, it will be sentenced.

But here, like a weed, such a fine tree is sawn down at will, discarded aside, and left to rot and insects.

Under the opening of the chain saw team composed of local guides, the crew successfully arrived at the filming location before dark.

For the next few days, the crew will stay here until the required scenes are filmed.

The forest was wet and cold in the rain, and with the assistance of local guides, twenty tents were erected.

Alcohol stoves were distributed in each tent, which were only used for heating, and food was provided uniformly by the crew.

The local diet in Uqlan is similar to that of a goose, usually bread with borscht and fried chicken at the top.

Zhang Yimou hadn't eaten well when he came last time, so he specially brought a chef over this time.

But in the wilderness, the chef has very little room to play, and can only cook some somen noodles.

But this is already delicious for the Chinese who have been nibbling on dry bread for two days.

There was no entertainment in the forest, and everyone went back to their tents to sleep after eating.

Liu Xiaoli accompanied Liu Yifei out to film this time.

If it is in China, with Mu Rong here, she will definitely rest assured.

But this is a foreign country, and I am not familiar with the place, so Liu Xiaoli has to follow me no matter what she says.

For safety, Mu Rong lived next door to their tent.

There was no signal in the forest, and Mu Rong and Liu Yifei couldn't chat with text messages like before.

However, because the tents were close together, Liu Yifei slept on the side close to Mu Rong.

Rainwater in broad-leaved forests always collects into large droplets and falls.

Some of the droplets of water that fell from the height hit the head, and there was even a pain.

Such droplets of water fall on the roof of the tent, and the sound is similar to that of the drum, which is very noisy.

However, these raindrops also masked the whispering voices of Mu Rong and Liu Yifei, creating a sound field that belongs to them alone.

"Can you hear me?"

There was a slight sound of music from Liu Yifei's side, the melody was familiar, it was the song "The Nightingale".

"Yes."

Mu Rong lowered his voice and responded.

"I want to hear you blow it to me."

Liu Yifei also lowered her voice and said.

"I didn't bring any instruments, I'll play them for you when I get back."

Mu Rong whispered: "Make your voice quieter, don't make noise to Auntie." ”

"It's already the youngest!"

"It's okay, it's not like the two of you arguing."

Liu Xiaoli's voice appeared suddenly.

“……”

Mu Rong shook his head helplessly and said with a smile: "Turn it off, everyone is going to sleep." ”

"Oh."

Liu Yifei turned off the music player on her mobile phone and said regretfully: "There is no seam in this tent, otherwise I can give you a headphone." ”

"Why don't you go live with him?" Liu Xiaoli asked.

"Is that okay?"

Liu Yifei was quite surprised.

"Want to eat fart?"

Liu Xiaoli said: "Sleep quickly! ”

"Oh."

Liu Yifei responded stupidly, then leaned against the tent and whispered, "Good night, cousin." ”

"Good night."

Mu Rong closed his mouth, and after a while, the breathing behind the tent gradually evened out.
