In late April, Yanjing is still a little cold, and the south has become warmer, and in Hengdian, the capital of Chinese film and television, sometimes you can go out with a short sleeve.

Li Shengyao had already arranged for the assistant director and the company's studio staff to go south to Hengdian, take the lead in the scene, prepare costumes and props, recruit extras, and receive him at any time.

On April 23rd, Li Shengyao rushed to Hengdian with a group of people, including actors, assistants, and some field workers.

Hao Lei and Zu Feng played against each other in the hotel.

And Li Shengyao went out with the assistant director and the cameraman, and he wanted to check the shooting place prepared by the assistant director and the cameraman before.

The places that appear in the plot of "Dashang Palace" are not only the palace, but also ordinary streets, as well as the countryside and the wilderness.

Among them, the court drama has the most points, and Li Shengyao focuses on the filming location of the court drama.

This is related to the texture of the whole play, and he must read it and check it one by one.

Hengdian Film and Television City has long built the Ming and Qing Dynasty Imperial Palace, imitating the Forbidden City, which looks decent, but the bricks and tiles are too new and the colors are too bright.

However, after the color brightness processing of the camera, these buildings can look a lot old, and for ordinary people, it is difficult to distinguish which one is the real Forbidden City and which one is the fake Forbidden City.

When Li Shengyao arrived, he found that on the side of the Ming and Qing Dynasty palaces, almost every big courtyard had a crew, and there seemed to be no empty courtyard.

In the main Qianqing Palace compound, there are several crews waiting, and it seems that they are going to take turns to go in and shoot.

At this time, Qing court dramas were especially popular, "Huanzhu Gege", "Kangxi Dynasty", "Iron Mouth Bronze Tooth Ji Xiaolan" and so on.

With so many crews so close to each other, it is naturally very noisy, not only the shouting and scolding sound from the loudspeaker, but also some gunfire and cold weapon collisions.

Li Shengyao frowned slightly, this not only affects the live radio, but also mainly affects the state of the actors' filming.

He raised his voice and asked the assistant director who was following him, "Has the yard for our filming been booked?" ”

"It's booked, it's the second most beautiful courtyard of the Ming and Qing Dynasty Palaces."

The Ming and Qing Dynasty palaces in Hengdian Film and Television City are said to restore the Forbidden City one to one, and naturally there are many courtyards, and general scenes, such as not court dramas, can be filmed in the imitation palace compound.

The assistant director continued: "The best one was given to the crew of "Huanzhu Gege 3", and the person in charge of Hengdian told me that if we had contacted him earlier, he would have kept it for us, and now he has given us the second best compound." ”

Li Shengyao smiled, "Have you been to other courtyards to see it?" ”

"I've seen it, and I've inquired with people, the big courtyard where we are filming is indeed relatively spacious and beautiful, and there are not only all kinds of rooms in it, but also the imperial dining room."

There are many scenes of filming and making delicious dishes in "Dashang Palace", so it is natural to need an imperial dining room.

Li Shengyao nodded, "Have you delivered cigarettes to people?" ”

The assistant director shook his head, "I'll wait for your orders." ”

"Okay, when it's over, I'll pay two thousand yuan and give two good cigarettes to someone."

"Okay, I'll just say that I didn't expect it before, it was my brain, you came to Hengdian and mentioned me."

What is called a smart man, this is called a smart man.

Director Li's assistants and photographers nodded their heads one after another, remembering this technique.

Li Shengyao smiled, and then they came to the reserved courtyard, only to see that there were three people guarding outside, these three people were the field workers of "Dashang Palace" and the people of Fenghua Film and Television Company.

When they saw Li Shengyao, they immediately stepped forward, and then said that they would keep an eye on it all the time, and they would arrange for people to patrol inside, and there would be absolutely no problem.

There are some props and filming equipment that have been transported in so that they don't have to be rearranged and moved around.

Li Shengyao nodded, and then entered the large courtyard.

On the left side of the courtyard is a pond with lotus flowers floating in it.

There are also a lot of colorful flowers planted on the edge of the pond, and a flower garden is besieged.

There is also a pavilion on the side, with a red top plate carved with some beautiful patterns.

On the right side of the courtyard is a flat open space, with some bamboo poles, wooden barrels, ladders and other daily necessities in the corner.

Lee Shengyao was thinking about the plot while watching.

He then came to the imperial dining room, which was quite large, about 100 square meters, with all kinds of stoves, as well as iron pots, wood steamers, and stoves, so to speak, there were all kinds of cooking tithes.

And there are some places where there is soot and gray black, and I don't know if it was formed by the fire, or if it was caused by the set designer.

Li Shengyao will take the lead in filming Guo Xiaodong and Yan Danchen's scenes, after all, the two of them are cameos, let them finish filming first, and the two of them can prepare for new plays, they have already taken over the scenes of other companies.

Then he filmed the food-related scenes in the plot.

This time he really invited two chefs to come over and help make the food, and every day has to count the money.

If the filming is completed early, the crew can save a lot of money.

"Can I cook on a fire here?"

"No, those gray and black are old, but Hengdian has prepared an imperial dining room for us in an ancient mansion outside the Ming and Qing Dynasty palaces, and that imperial dining room can be used for cooking."

The imperial dining room is very important, which is related to whether the chefs can play well or not, and whether the camera can shoot well.

"Dashang Palace" wants to promote Chinese cuisine, not only to put a table of beautiful dishes on the table, but also to film some of the process of making delicious dishes.

It doesn't matter if the dish is good or not, the important thing is that it looks good, so that the audience will have an appetite when they see it.

After the scene between Guo Xiaodong and Yan Danchen is over, the crew will focus on filming the plot of making delicious dishes in the imperial dining room.

Lee Shengyao hopes that he can be completely filmed in a week, and he will not shoot other scenes during this period of time, and will shoot all the cooking and stir-fry scenes in the plot.

Although you can't burn a fire in the Ming and Qing Dynasty palaces, there is an identical one nearby, which can save a lot of effort.

Hengdian took care of them this time.

He felt that two cigarettes were not enough, thought for a while and said, "You make an appointment, and I will invite the person in charge of Hengdian to dinner." ”

He wasn't sure if he would come to Hengdian to film in the future, but Fenghua Film and Television Company would definitely have relevant scenes in the future, and he planned to communicate and eat a few more times, then there would be friendship.

It is not necessary to send money, but it must give people face and enough respect.

"Director, you still have the big picture."

The assistant director then patted the sycophants.

Li Shengyao then thought that the crew of "Huanzhu Gege 3" was next to him.

Although he didn't want to say the same thing as Qiong Yao, he made a slogan of North Shengyao and South Qiong Song, but since they were next to him, he would go over and take a look, after all, there were many people he knew there.

After only an hour or two, he then called Zu Feng and Hao Lei, saying that he would take them to the crew of "Huanzhu Gege 3" to visit the class, and asked the two of them to come over as soon as possible.

"You go and let me know first, and I'll bring someone over later."

Lee then instructed his assistant to run errands.

"Speak well, be respectful."
