After getting on the plane, Chen Shuo and Liu Yifei took out a new script, ready to take a good look at it while they were in the sky.

Before boarding the plane, screenwriter Wang Bin handed over a new script to the two.

This is also what he printed out before he got on the plane.

When Chen Shuo received it, there was still a hint of warmth and ink.

Now this script, from the previous government to destroy the Flying Knife Gate, and then found the traces of the Flying Knife Gate, to the Peony Workshop to arrest the blind girl named Xiaomei back for interrogation.

and then Chen Zhutou rescued him under the pseudonym Suifeng, and after some life and death grinding, the two fell in love with each other.

Then the conspiracy was revealed, and the two separated due to Xiaomei's concerns, but they involuntarily went both ways.

Liu Zhutou appeared, a battle of flowers, the little sister died, and Chen Zhutou was heartbroken.

At this point, the plot is more than 100 minutes long, which is enough for the duration of a movie.

Next, Liu Zhutou cleaned up his mood and participated in the battle between the Bamboo Forest Mansion and the Flying Knife Gate.

Introduce the identity of the eldest sister, expound her ideals, and portray the conspiracy of Liu Zhutou and the second sister.

In a big battle, first the eldest sister tried her best to kill Yu Zong's head, and then the second sister took the opportunity to sneak attack the eldest sister.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Zhutou and the second sister joined forces to fight the eldest sister.

Interspersed with some emotional entanglements between the three of them, the relationship between the younger sister and the eldest sister, Liu Zhutou, etc.

When they killed the seriously injured eldest sister, Sui Feng, who was holding the body of the younger sister, appeared with the wind, and finally stabbed Liu Zhutou and the second sister, who were also seriously injured.

In the end, he buried everyone in the sea of flowers, and in the afterglow of the sunset, he inserted his weapon in front of Xiaomei's tomb and disappeared into the sunset.

The whole drama is more than 230 minutes long, and there are many places that I want to shoot and a lot of places that I want to explain.

Zhang Yimou didn't want to give up.

These are two extremes from the original prototype of the script.

At that time, the first version of the script had only 48 scenes, and in his vision, each scene was a long shot, and the atmosphere was silent and solemn.

To the current final version, there are still a lot of large scenes, but there are as many as 150 scenes.

Now that Chen Shuo has learned to adapt, he doesn't care how Zhang Yimou shoots or cuts in the later stage.

As long as there is no big problem with the logic of the story, he will write down his role and act it seriously.

This time, he should have accumulated experience in filming movies and did his duty as an actor.

Except for the performance part, I don't ask much about anything else.

After reading the script, I discussed with Liu Yifei how to perform the revised part, and the two looked out the window together.

"It's my first time abroad, and it's a little amazing." Chen Shuo looked at the ground below and said in an inexplicable tone.

He remembered the experience when he followed Wu Qi and the two to Xiangjiang for the first time, and Wu Qi also felt that it was the first time he went to Xiangjiang.

And he said at the time that he should think about where he would use his passport.

Unexpectedly, it was only a year and a half, and the two went to Ukraine by plane.

"I've always flown at sea before, and this is the first time I've flown this long on land." Liu Yifei lay on Chen Shuo's body, close to the window and looked at the rolling peaks below, and also felt a burst of curiosity.

The mountains are stacked and undulating, undulating like a tower.

Under the cover of white clouds, looking at the mountains and rivers like galloping horses below, it is indeed unique.

"Do you think that looks like a dragon?"

"Where?"

"Look at that mountain range, near the river is the dragon's head, the two steep peaks behind are the dragon's horns, and the winding ridge behind is the dragon's back."

"You really look like ...... when you say that"

At the beginning, the two of them looked at the scenery below enthusiastically, especially Chen Shuo, who was very curious about it, watching the plane cross the entire mountains and rivers from east to west.

However, as time passed, the two gradually lost their energy, and they sat for too long.

The others were experienced and had long since reclined down in their seats to rest.

Seeing this, the two of them did the same, lying on the chair and pulling down the blindfold to rest.

Two days later, on the night of September 5, after some twists and turns, everyone finally arrived at the destination of the trip.

The city of Lviv, Ukraine.

The crew rented a place similar to a resort and used it as the crew's station.

After arriving at the place, Chen Shuo and others began to allocate housing according to the arrangement of field affairs.

The next day, Zhang Yimou didn't ask anything, so he beckoned people to go and see his sea of flowers.

In October last year, he came to Ukraine and spent $8,000 to hire locals to plant a sea of flowers according to his request.

Originally, in April of this year, he wanted to come and see it.

Prevent the story of the first time the red sorghum was photographed.

In 87, in order to shoot red sorghum, he found someone in Gaomi, Lu Province, and spent 40,000 yuan to find someone to plant 100 acres of sorghum.

The crew personally selected the seeds for people to plant, but in the end, the sorghum on 50 acres of land was replaced with seeds, and the planting was not up to standard.

When the frenzied watering and fertilization were remedied, some people even pulled the fertilizer into the sorghum field, and then went around two miles to pull the fertilizer home.

All kinds of things make people laugh and cry.

This time, he has always been worried that Huahai will not meet his requirements, and he has always wanted to come and see.

However, at the beginning of the year, the situation was tense, and it was difficult to go anywhere, let alone go abroad.

It was originally planned to start in June and July, but it has been postponed until now, and they did not get their visas until before they left.

Zhang Yimou was full of anxiety and took the car to the flower field set last year, and he had a bad feeling in his heart before he arrived at the place.

got out of the car and saw the flower field he was thinking about, and he was not worried anymore, and it was cold directly.

"You can't say it's not a flower field, it has flowers.

But it's just flowers growing on the grass, it's not a sea of flowers.

We didn't even reach half of what we had envisioned, or even a fifth. ”

"At that time, 100,000 flower seedlings were planted, but they don't grow now......"

“……”

Zhang Yimou listened to the conversation between the production director Zhang Zhenyan and the translator, but what he thought about in his mind was how to remedy it.

He is not a person who gives up easily, and now the crew has arrived and is preparing to start filming.

But the sea of flowers, which accounts for an important part of the play, is gone, gone.

He had to find it.

At the moment, this land cannot be counted on, so it can only be found elsewhere.

He walked around in the "sea of flowers" and looked at the wilting flowers, the colors looked very good, and they fit the picture in his mind.

But at the moment, the knee-length grass is unusable.

After looking around, he beckoned everyone to leave.

"Listen to what he says, 'Put some fertilizer and it will grow in half a month.'" You can't believe that.

How dare you tell me to believe this?

Now the only way is to look for it, to find a sea of flowers that can be replaced.
