Chapter 806: "Long Live Army" is finished
The battle between the two Qing court dramas did not end with the broadcast of the finale.
After the broadcast rights were sold, they continued to be carried out on small battlefields one by one.
In general, Gu Bei's goal was achieved.
After all, after the broadcast in the previous life, there is a great tendency to dominate the rivers and lakes.
In those years, TV series with the same theme were filmed one after another.
The main actors are also popular, and they are present in various programs and large-scale performances.
Not to mention film and television dramas back then, but any actor who can invite the pearl to return the pearl is at least a small hit.
But now?
was disrupted by Gu Bei with one.
Although it is also popular, it is a little short of Aunt Qiong Yao's expectations.
Originally, I didn't have much expectations, but it turned out to be a big hit after the broadcast on Treasure Island.
Seeing this, Qiong Yao's expectations in the mainland are also rising.
I also want to be able to regain the glory of the past.
I think that a series of TV dramas marked by Qiong Yao have almost swept the mainland TV drama market.
But as time went by, Qiong Yao herself knew that her set was outdated.
I thought that by making another fire, who knew that I would meet it.
It's not satisfactory!
But even so, Qiong Yao still increased her investment in the crew.
At that time, there should be no such a strong opponent, right?
Gu Beicai didn't bother to guess an old lady's mind, this time it was just a joke for him.
After the broadcast rights were sold, he didn't pay attention to it anymore.
Now Gu Bei, there are more important things.
Jilin, the film and television base of Changchun Film Studio.
One of the areas is dedicated to war dramas.
After renovation, this place has also become the famous battlefield of Longyuanli in history.
The crew has been transferred here for a while, not for the sake of filming martial arts dramas, but to focus on supplementing literary dramas.
There's a row of wooden houses over here, and they look pretty presentable.
Gu Bei has been here for three days, and the crew has been filming the summary meeting after the end of the first battle.
The key is stuck in the boss angrily reprimanding Commander Liang for delaying the fighter.
Although the script had already been set, when it came time to shoot this scene, Chen Kaige felt that it didn't make sense.
When he was a teenager, he joined the revolution, walked back and forth a few times in the sea of corpses and blood, and was smashed by shells and pinched together.
Chen Kaige wanted to understand the old general's thoughts at that time, and he may not have visited the old general's descendants before the start-up, but no one could say why.
In his later years, the old general rarely mentioned what happened on the other side of the Yalu River.
According to historical sources, because of the information that an old American black regiment was stationed on the marching route, the old general was too cautious.
Chen Kaige does not fully agree with this statement, and there must be other reasons.
In the past three days, Chen Kaige has filmed several versions, but he is still not satisfied, and Zhang Fengyi, who plays the old general, is about to go crazy.
"Xiaobei, what do you say?"
Chen Kaige has been pondering this episode these days, and he can't even sleep well.
Gu Bei was also thinking about how to deal with this paragraph, and he was about to finish it, so he couldn't delay it any longer.
"You say...... Will the old general be because of the reduction of casualties? ”
Chen Kaige suddenly came to his senses: "What do you say? ”
"I read a short story in a magazine some time ago, and there was a sentence that touched me deeply."
"Tell me about it."
"We don't fight this battle? Shall we be beaten by our sons? Grandson hit? The reason why we are here today is so that our sons and grandchildren will not experience war again. ”
Syllable!
After listening to Gu Bei's words, Chen Kaige suddenly slapped the table, with an excited look on his face.
"Yes, yes, I've seen that, I've seen it, I've seen it, I know, I've got it."
As he spoke, Chen Kaige found paper and pen and quickly wrote on them.
"Look!"
Gu Bei took it, and after reading it, he asked Chen Kaige for a pen, and modified two lines on it.
Chen Kaige looked at it again: "Okay, this sentence is energetic, energetic, then...... How to deal with it in the end, if you just look at the after-effects, is it too bland? ”
Indeed, the old general should also have a self-transformation in understanding.
It is necessary to make the blood on the old general's body completely boil.
"Sing the Internationale!"
"Sing the Internationale?"
Chen Kaige's expression was stunned, he thought carefully, and suddenly sang in a low voice: "Rise up, slaves of hunger and cold, get up, the people of the world are suffering......"
This song seems to have a special energy that can make people's blood boil instantly.
Back on the set, Chen Kaige called the actor over and handed over the revised paper with messy handwriting.
"Follow this."
Ten minutes later, the machine started again.
"Okay, let you say, and let the comrades listen, how you quibble."
Zhang Fengyi's face was expressionless: "I don't quibble, and I don't have anything to say, I miss the fighter plane on the battlefield and want to kill my head." ”
"Don't think I don't dare, now give you a chance to tell me what you thought at the time, say!"
Zhang Fengyi gritted his teeth, the flesh of his cheeks trembled, he clenched his teeth tightly, and it took a long time to speak, and as soon as he spit out the first word, his voice was already choked.
"I ...... I just want to be safer, more secure, I want to minimize casualties, I want our soldiers to come home alive, they ......"
Zhang Fengyi's voice suddenly raised, but immediately lowered again.
"They're all ...... I saw New China. ”
Who said that men are as hard as iron when they die, and they also have soft places in their hearts.
The boss was also touched and was speechless for a while.
"I won't scold you, I can understand your thoughts, but we won't fight this battle? Do you want our son to fight? Grandson hit? We don't sacrifice, do we let us have sons and grandsons, let them sacrifice, the reason why we are here today is to let our sons and grandsons no longer experience war, we people, all blood, two feet of mud, or let us sacrifice! ”
Speaking of this, the boss took a deep breath.
"If you are still aggrieved in your heart, go out and sing the Internationale, and after singing, your heart will be bright and happy."
Zhang Fengyi's face was pale, he gave a military salute, and then strode outside and sang with the greatest strength.
"Arise, hungry and cold slaves, arise, and the afflictions of the whole world ......"
At first he sang alone, then all the actors, and finally the whole set sounded the song.
"Okay, it's over!"
After saying these words, Chen Kaige quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.
"Prepare for the next one!"
When Gu Bei heard this, he walked outside, Zhang Fengyi was still pulling his neck and singing, and he didn't mean to stop at all.
"Lao Zhang!"
Gu Bei shouted a few times in a row, and went around to the front, but saw that Zhang Fengyi had already burst into tears.
"You...... It's all right! ”
Zhang Fengyi raised his arm, wiped away his tears, lowered his head and stabilized for a long time before he could be relieved.
"It's okay!"
After saying that, he turned around and left.
He was not the only one who cried at the scene, and there was nothing to be ashamed of!
A scene that had plagued Chen Kaige for a long time was taken down, and then it became much smoother, but the atmosphere on the set was not easy, Gu Bei stayed here, and he felt like a big stone in his heart.
War brings not only fierce ambition, but also pain, sacrifice, and farewell, which are all topics that cannot be avoided.
After filming the last scene in Changchun, the crew is about to finish, and there is still one last scene left, which was specially left by Chen Kaige.
"Rush!"
"Kill ......"
Countless people roared and rushed towards the sea, the camera slowly pulling away from a soldier's face, farther and farther away, and finally the screen in the monitor shifted to aerial footage.
Although Gu Bei was standing at the scene, he couldn't hide his excitement when he looked at the picture presented in the monitor.
Just this one shot, it's worth it!
After several battles, Lao Mei, who provoked trouble, finally threw away his armor and fled in embarrassment.
Refreshing!
"Good! It's over! ”
When Chen Kaige said this, he wanted to stand up, but suddenly felt that he had no strength in his body, tried it, and finally could only sit down on the chair.
"Lao Chen, are you alright?"
"No, give me a hand!"
When Gu Bei heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward and helped Chen Kaige to stand up.
At this moment, the filming scene gradually quieted down, and everyone was looking at Chen Kaige in a daze, waiting for him to announce the last thing.
"I announce, the movie, finished!"
"Hooray!"
"Hooray!"
The scene suddenly became lively again, everyone cheered and hugged each other, and the scene seemed to really go back to the day when we defeated the most powerful enemy in the world decades ago.
"Lao Chen! Great work! ”
Gu Bei said and hugged Chen Kaige.
Chen Kaige smiled, his dream for many years has finally been completed today.
When he was in school, he often fantasized that he could finish a film that depicted that period of history, and today he finally did it.
"Xiaobei! Thank you! ”
Chen Kaige knew that without Gu Bei's support, he wouldn't have been able to do it at all.
"Lao Chen, don't let go of this momentum! There's a lot of work ahead! ”
The later stage of this movie will be very troublesome, and some special effects shots will have to be completed in Xiangjiang, and it will take a lot of effort to edit alone.
In the end, the feature film released in the cinema was only two hours and twenty minutes, but there were more than ten hours of material shot in more than a year, and how to choose is the most challenging for the director.
"Don't worry, you know!"
"No, you don't know, Lao Chen, in the later stage of this movie, I can only give you no more than two months."
Chen Kaige was taken aback: "Not more than two months? Why? ”
"The schedule is set for the National Day."
"Gifts?"
"It's not just a gift, I'm counting on this film to smash a broken ship for me!"
