Chapter 2: Hurricane Rescue
Morning of 27 August 2004.
The museum staff and the main creator of the "Myth" crew held a meeting, and Li Yuansheng, deputy director of the museum, once again emphasized the precautions during the filming, and emphasized that without the permission of the museum, no one is allowed to enter the figurine pit without permission.
After the meeting, Cheng Long led the main creator of the crew to leave the conference room and go to the figurine pit to arrange the shooting, but Li Yuansheng quietly called Cheng Long to the side.
"Mr. Cheng Long, I want to trouble you with this personal matter."
Cheng Long said with a smile: "Director Li is polite, "Myth" can be filmed as scheduled, it is inseparable from Director Li's strong support, I remember your favors, if you have something, I will definitely help if I can help." ”
Li Yuansheng said: "It's not a big deal, my child Li Mu is your die-hard fan, I have liked your works very much since I was a child, there are your posters everywhere at home, and he usually likes to write a script or something, this time I heard that you came to Xijing to film, and you happened to be in the museum, so you have to pester me to ask me to hand over the script he wrote to you and let you help check it." ”
"Of course, I also know that your filming cycle is very tight this time, and the left and right are just scripts written by children, so you can take a look at them twice if you have time, it's okay if you don't have time, work is important, and Li Mu can understand."
Cheng Long said on the spot: "It's a good thing that children like to write scripts, unlike my child, who knows how to have parties and mess around with a group of fox friends and dogs all day long, if he can settle down and write a script, I will wake up laughing in my dreams, did you bring the script?" ”
Li Yuansheng immediately took out the script from his bag and handed it to Cheng Long.
Cheng Long took the script and said with a smile: "I'll see it when I return to the hotel in the evening, children have this hobby, and we parents should encourage it more." ”
Li Yuansheng smiled and nodded: "Then I'm sorry for you, my child doesn't know how excited he should be when he hears his idol read the script to him." ”
Cheng Long said: "It's a good thing that children like to write scripts, but the most important thing is to be down-to-earth and move forward bravely even if they encounter setbacks." Like when I was young, it was common for me to fall from a height while filming, and it was common to break my hands and feet, but which ribs on my body were never broken? It is not easy to do any line, and the most important thing to do any line is always to dare to think and dare to do it, and be able to persevere. ”
"I will definitely read the script, and I will read it carefully, but let's talk about it in front, if there is anything wrong with the script, I will not be merciful. I don't just pick up nice things because of who he is, people who know me know that I am like this, what I think in my heart, what I say in my mouth. ”
Li Yuansheng said:
"What you said is so right, I won't tell you, my temper and you are exactly the same, the child asked you to help read the script, it was originally to ask you to point out the fault, if you find someone to praise, you don't need to trouble Mr. Cheng Long."
……
The crew had already arrived at the No. 1 figurine pit at 3 o'clock in the morning today, and started the audition and trial shooting at 9 o'clock in the morning. At around 1 p.m., the crew began official filming.
In the afternoon, Li Mu also followed his father Li Yuansheng to the No. 1 pit, at this time Cheng Long was directing the crew to prepare, and when he saw Li Mu next to Li Yuansheng, he beckoned here.
Li Mu and his father walked over with a smile, and after arriving at Cheng Long's side, Li Mu called Uncle Cheng Long in a proper manner.
In fact, with Li Mu's mental age and habits, he should be called Brother Cheng Long, and the entertainment industry is called Brother Cheng Long, but seeing that his own Lao Tzu and Cheng Long are brothers, he can't be called a big brother.
Cheng Long smiled and said to Li Yuan: "You kid is really handsome, I think it's enough to be a star, but it's a talent to write a script and do it behind the scenes." ”
Li Yuansheng laughed and said: "A star is not something that ordinary people can be, I am content if this kid can support himself, and I dare not dream of being a star." ”
Cheng Long smiled: "It's not easy to say, I dropped out of school in the first grade, and later apprenticed to learn art and became a martial artist, at that time, I couldn't believe that I would have today, who can say the fortune of people, maybe luck has arrived, Teng, suddenly got up." ”
Li Yuansheng laughed and said, "Then I will borrow your auspicious words." ”
Saying that, Li Yuansheng waved his hand, called Li Mu in front of him, and said with a straight face: "In the past few days, you will stay in the crew and help Uncle Cheng Long as a group performer, learn more and watch more, people will give you a few words of advice, you will be of infinite use for a lifetime, you know?" ”
"Got it."
The scenes filmed in the figurine pit were very simple, but because of the filming in this special environment, it took most of the day.
During the filming period, the museum was open as usual, and Li Mu heard some tourists talking about it.
It is said that the Terracotta Warriors and Horses have always not allowed tourists to take pictures, and the strong lighting during the filming of the crew may cause damage to the Terracotta Warriors.
Tourists even questioned the museum directly, and some tourists were worried that if the crew was careless at work, they would damage the terracotta warriors and horses next to them, and they also hoped that the museum could give an explanation.
Director Tang Jili heard the tourists' questions, and his face was a little worried, for fear that there would be changes in the filming.
This time, he first applied to the museum, and after the museum politely refused, he flew to Beijing to find the museum's superior, and only then did he get permission to shoot.
However, it can also be seen that the museum was not very favorable for this shooting, and it was reluctantly agreed by the order of the superiors, and now the tourists questioned it, and he was afraid that the museum would take the opportunity to appeal to the superiors.
Then Li Yuansheng personally came out to explain to the tourists: 3 months after the terracotta warriors and horses were unearthed, the surface has been completely oxidized, and no matter how strong the current light is, it will not have a significant impact on it.
As for the question raised by the tourists about what to do if the crew accidentally touches the terracotta warriors, Li Yuansheng can only answer from the side that the museum has done its best to protect the safety of the terracotta warriors.
In the final analysis, the actor went down to the figurine pit to shoot, and the possibility of accidentally touching the terracotta warriors and horses could not be fundamentally eliminated, and no one dared to guarantee this.
However, after seeing Li Yuansheng patiently explaining to the tourists, Tang Jili was also relieved.
As long as the museum leaders do not add oil and vinegar to the superiors, the tourists question two sentences, which is harmless at all.
The filming time of the crew was strictly limited, and at 6 o'clock in the evening, the crew finished work on time. After dinner, director Tang Jili, screenwriters Wang Huili and Li Haishu, and coordinator Huang Yanli went to Cheng Long's room to discuss filming matters.
At 8 o'clock in the evening, everyone left Cheng Long's room, Cheng Long was lying on the bed and watched TV, and when he saw half of it, he suddenly remembered the script that Li Yuansheng asked him to read.
The filming of the crew is inseparable from the support of the museum, he promised the other party a few words, he must do it, or he will not promise others at the right time.
So he called the assistant and asked him to send the script over, and in the morning, he was busy shooting, so he handed the script to the assistant.
Soon the assistant sent the script over, Cheng Long lay on the bed, leaned on a pillow behind him, and then slowly opened the script.
