Card...... This is over!"

This first scene was originally very simple, and with the acting skills of Liang Jiahui and Yu Nan, it was naturally passed very easily.

Next, the crew convened a group performance to shoot some shots of the people fleeing the famine, some people walked weakly with crutches, and some people were weak and simply lying on the ground, in short, highlighting the tragic situation of the era at that time.

The story of "Casting the Name" is set in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom period, and the great turmoil since ancient times is often closely related to natural disasters, and the first ten years of the Taiping Rebellion were a decade of many disasters and difficulties.

From 1841 to 1843, the Yellow River broke for three consecutive years. In 1846, many provinces across the country experienced a persistent drought. From 1848 to 1850, there were "great floods" in the southeastern provinces.

Especially in the remote and impoverished province of Gui, there were more than 20 major natural disasters, which exacerbated social contradictions, and the struggle for land, water and living space for survival eventually led to the Taiping Rebellion.

In March 1853, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was established as the capital of Tianjing, a year when the whole country had not recovered from the catastrophe of the Yellow River breach. Major earthquakes occurred one after another in Jiangsu and other places, and the earthquakes continued until the following year, and earthquakes in Jiangsu and Zhejiang still occurred one after another. In addition to the earthquake, floods and droughts have also occurred in many areas.

From 1855 to 1856, the Taiping army won a series of victories in Jiangxi, Anhui, Hubei and other provinces, but at this time, the drought in many areas of the Yangtze River basin was still serious, and the drought situation became more and more serious in the case of continuous war.

Due to the protracted drought, lakes have dried up, the land has cracked, and the climate has been unusually dry, causing locusts to spread. Most of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was plagued by locusts, and locusts flew all over the field, and the crops where the locusts passed were gone. It was written, "The locusts eat the grass like a swift wind sweeping away the leaves, and they disappear in an instant."

As large areas of crops have been eaten up, many areas have failed to harvest grains after autumn, food prices have skyrocketed, and hungry people are everywhere.

How serious is the situation? According to the literature, "Jiangbei is hungry, and Dousu is worth one tael of gold", and "two Huai people cannibalize each other".

In the Yangzhou area, "the villagers have no water to drink, and the fields are exhausted. The locusts cover the sun, and the wings make a sound."

In the Changshu area, "the rice is just beautiful, and the root is bitten off without the head, that is, thousands of acres, and it can be eaten in an instant".

The severe drought and locust plague brought extremely serious difficulties to the Taiping army's grain requisition. For this reason, the Qing army once cheered: "The locusts have eaten all the rice planted by the melons, towns, and Jinling thieves, so there is a period of recovery."

In such a situation, the Taiping army could be supplied with food, and the tight food supply made the army's morale gradually shaken and its survival more difficult.

Regarding this situation, Zeng Guofan once said in the compromise: "At present, there is very little food in Wu, Fan, Nan, Xuan, Tai, Shi, Qing and other counties, and the people and thieves are worried about lack of food."

Under these circumstances, the Taiping army's grain collection team had no choice but to take drastic measures to collect grain, and the contradictions between the Taiping army and the peasants became more intense, and peasant riots occurred from time to time.

Historically, the Taiping Rebellion lasted for 14 years, swept more than 10 provinces south of the Yangtze River, and was the peak of the Chinese peasant movement.

There are many theories and theories about the main reasons for the failure of the Taiping Rebellion, but in fact, there is one very important reason that cannot be ignored, and that is the food problem.

It was precisely because of natural disasters and man-made disasters that the people at that time lived miserably and could not eat enough, that bandit gangs like Zhao Erhu and Jiang Wuyang in "Casting Names" appeared.

Whether the production quality of a movie is good or not is often reflected in some small details, Fang Yan was very serious when shooting these disaster scenes, and wanted to show the background of the troubled times of "Casting Names" as much as possible, and it was an afternoon to shoot.

In the evening, the crew hurriedly finished eating and continued to shoot the night scene.

"Pay attention to the lights, don't dim the light too brightly!"

"Prop master, this bowl is not old enough, get another one!"

The night scene that was going to be filmed tonight, followed by the plot filmed during the day, Liansheng rescued Pang Qingyun, and the two spent the night in an abandoned dilapidated house.

For the two characters Pang Qingyun and Liansheng, this night scene can be regarded as a turning point in the fate of the characters, so it is very important.

Jiang Wen and Liu Dehua, who didn't need to participate, also found a corner and sat down, ready to watch Liang Jiahui's performance.

As the beginning sounded, Liang Jiahui and Yu Nan instantly entered the play and started their own performances

Under the dim firelight, Pang Qingyun, who was lying on the bed, woke up slowly, and found himself in an abandoned and dilapidated house, the paper paste on the window was full of holes, and a cold wind blew to make him feel a little cold.

"Wow...... ......

A strange sound caught Pang Qingyun's attention, and he turned his head weakly and saw a woman beside him, cooking with her back to the fire.

"Ahem......

Pang Qingyun coughed twice in pain, and the woman turned around with a bowl of gruel after hearing the voice, she was the strange woman Pang Qingyun met when he was on the road during the day-Liansheng.

Seeing the gruel brought by Liansheng, the hungry Pang Qingyun gritted his teeth, he got up with difficulty and took the bowl, and then devoured it.

"Wow—"

Because he ate too quickly, Pang Qingyun choked suddenly, and he immediately lay on the side of the bed and vomited.

Liansheng was taken aback, and hurriedly took a few steps back, and then she found that Pang Qingyun's body was twitching, and she cried in a low voice.

"All my people are dead, and I'm the only one left!"

Looking at Pang Qingyun's painful appearance with his head bowed, Lian Sheng's face was numb, things like this are too common in troubled times, and they can't arouse the sympathy of others.

"That's your fate!"

Facing Liansheng's comfort, Pang Qingyun paused for a moment, and then he shook his head lightly and raised his face full of tears.

"I'm playing dead!"

Hearing this, Lian Sheng's heart was shocked, and he felt that the experience of the man in front of him was not simple.

Pang Qingyun wept bitterly and said, "My brother...... More than 1,600 people fought for three days and three nights...... It's all gone!"

Lian Sheng sat on the edge of the bed, hesitated, raised his hand and gently patted Pang Qingyun's back, carefully comforting him.

Pang Qingyun gritted his teeth and said, "Those beasts in the Kuizi camp are just standing behind, motionless...... Look at my brothers just like this...... It's all gone!"

Speaking of this, Pang Qingyun couldn't cry, as the saying goes, men don't flick when they have tears, but the grief in his heart at this time is really sad for those who hear it, and tears for those who see it.

At this moment of filming, everyone in the crew was moved by Liang Jiahui's acting skills, although everyone knew that this was filming, there were still some emotional people who had sour noses and red eyes.

For Leung Jiahui, the "actor with a thousand faces", this scene is just a small test, which shows his terrifying strength.

At the same time, Yu Nan's performance is also very good, showing Liansheng's inner activities well, which is worthy of praise.

"Card—"

Fang Yan stood up after shouting a halt, and applauded Liang Jiahui and Yu Nan and praised: "Perfect, this scene is very good!"

The rest of the crew also applauded one after another, expressing their respect for the two actors with warm applause.
