Chapter 248: The Spring Festival is coming

After seeing Jiang Xin's father and his comrades-in-arms, Mu Rong finally knew where Jiang Xin's straightforward and fiery personality came from.

Although this kind of temper sometimes seems to have no sense of boundaries, and sometimes it will sinner, I have to admit that dealing with such people will not be too tiring and stressful.

Jiang Xin's father and his comrades-in-arms had a good relationship, and after drinking too much wine, they sang together shirtless, with their shoulders around their shoulders.

Mu Rong couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard them say that they hadn't seen each other for nearly ten years, but they still had such a good relationship.

"What's this? We are comrades-in-arms, brothers for life. ”

Jiang Xin's father smiled: "Don't look at us, we may not make a phone call for several months, but if anyone has something, just say it, and the brothers will be in place immediately!" ”

Looking at their laughter, Mu Rong suddenly felt a little envious.

This kind of pure friendship, it seems that he has never had.

Seeing that he was confused, Jiang Xin's father's comrade-in-arms smiled: "This kind of thing is not clear, if you become a soldier once, you will know, come and go!" ”

Mu Rong smiled and picked up his wine glass, clinked glasses with them, and drank them all.

Putting down the wine glass, watching them talk and laugh, Mu Rong suddenly felt an impulse rise in his heart.

If you have the chance, you can experience being a soldier once, which seems to be a good thing!

At the end of the meal, Mu Rong rarely drank too much.

He didn't use his internal force to force the wine, but just relied on his own amount of alcohol to have a good time with Jiang Xin's father.

It was an experience he rarely had.

He even felt that drinking with them seemed to be more enjoyable than drinking with Fang Long.

didn't stay too much in the bird market, at noon the next day, Mu Rong and Jiang Xin's father had a lamb chop pilaf together, and then set off in the direction of Alt.

The crew has already chosen the filming location, in the territory of Burqin, where the Kanas River and the Hemu River meet, where there is a grassland and a large area of woods.

It is autumn in the Western Regions, and the weeds on the grasslands have withered and yellow, and the leaves of the forest grasses have turned golden.

As a result, the entire basin valley looks like a golden carpet, and it is stunningly beautiful.

Filming in such a scene is also a pleasure for the crew and actors.

In the setting of the script, Liu Yifei played a princess from the Western Regions Qiuzi Kingdom, who married Daqin in order to save her motherland from war.

This story is based on the former Qin Dynasty and is fictional, and no alien race has ever married into the Central Plains in history.

For a story made up in a play, it is unreasonable to insist on authenticity.

But for the sake of the viewing experience, Mu Rong still tried to take into account the details.

In order to restore the image of the princess of Qiuzi Kingdom to the greatest extent, Mu Rong specially invited a professor from the local University for Nationalities to guide the crew to match the costumes.

Under the guidance of the professor, Liu Yifei, who was wearing a gorgeous gauze skirt and a hand arm, like a Dunhuang fairy, appeared in front of the camera.

This is not a random fabrication by the professor, but a design based on the murals of the local Qiuzi Grottoes, which respects the history and takes care of the beauty of the characters.

In order to facilitate filming, the crew used Hemu Village.

There are wooden houses built by local ethnic minorities.

Because of the low temperature in the mountains, it is necessary to burn firewood in the wooden houses for heating.

And when the crew went out early and returned late, they couldn't help but marvel at the pictures of birds and birds coming out of the chimneys of wooden houses built of logs.

Seeing such a beautiful scenery, Mu Rong suddenly became suspicious of Zhang Yimou's original statement that there could be no good filming locations in China.

Isn't such a beautiful grassland a good filming location?

However, the scene of the grassland was only filmed for more than ten days before the filming had to be ended.

Because of the heavy snow in the mountains, the crew had to leave, otherwise the road would be closed and the car would not be able to drive.

Going all the way south from Burjin, the crew went straight to Kuqa, which was the filming location for the crew's subsequent scenes.

After entering the filming, Liu Yifei finally knew what Jiang Xin meant when she said that the Western Regions Province was a paradise for meat eaters.

In other words, there's really no food to eat here!

It's okay to say in the city that the crew is working in the field, and the most trouble-free dishes are Chinese cabbage, potatoes and carrots stored in winter.

Add a little onion at most.

The most common thing that local herdsmen eat in winter is to boil mutton in clean water, put some green radish, carrots or potatoes stored in winter, and then put some noodles, and eat them with onions.

Although the taste is really good, I can't stand eating it every day!

So, after only eating for a week, Liu Yifei couldn't stand it anymore, and wanted to eat vegetables all day long.

With Mu Rong here, of course it is impossible to wronged her.

So, Mu Rong arranged a special car to go to KC City every day to buy greenhouse vegetables and vegetables from the mainland, and cook for Liu Yifei in different ways.

The rest of the crew can also follow suit to improve the food.

For other crews, improving the food should be eating meat.

But filming here in the Western Regions Province, all meals are beef and mutton, and eating vegetables has become a luxury.

As the filming work progressed in an orderly manner, the time also came to December.

The crew withdrew from the Western Regions Province to Beiping.

The winter scenes have been filmed, and the rest of the scenes will have to wait until the beginning of spring next year to continue filming.

And the time is also coming to the end of the year, and the New Year file is about to begin.

Mu Rong and Liu Yifei, as the heroes and heroines of "Ambush on All Sides", had to follow Zhang Yimou to run a roadshow to promote the movie.

This year's Lunar New Year stalls are a bit crowded.

In addition to Zhang Yimou's "Ambush on All Sides", Zhou Xingchi's "Kung Fu" is also finalized.

These two can be called the box office duo of the mainland and Xiangjiang, and there is bound to be a bloody battle.

It is precisely because of this that Feng Xiaogang, who created the Lunar New Year file, consciously changed the release schedule of "No Thieves in the World" and released it a month earlier to avoid this confrontation.

In addition, movies such as "Two Birds with One Stone", "Himalayan Star", and "Hancheng Raiders", which were originally scheduled for the Chinese New Year, have also changed their schedules and postponed them for a month, also to avoid the limelight.

This year's Lunar New Year stalls are destined to be a competition between the east wind and the west wind.

But for Mu Rong, this seems to be another contest between himself and himself.

He is the star of "Ambush on All Sides", but he also has a cameo in "Kung Fu".

Therefore, no matter which of these two movies wins, it will be a good thing for him.

However, as the leading actor, he naturally has to help "Ambush on All Sides" vigorously promote, and his support for "Kung Fu" will be correspondingly smaller.

And in terms of coffee position, he and Zhou Xingchi are actually competitors.

Therefore, he could only say sorry to Zhou Xingchi.

But Zhou Xingchi wouldn't mind this, his relationship with Mu Rong was much closer than others thought.

He had already talked to Mu Rong about the exchange of shares between the two studios, and the two sides were still negotiating.

If successful, they will be the first private studio allies to form a strategic alliance.
