Although it was said to be resting, Wu Yuan didn't really lock himself in his house and didn't do anything except write the script.

Liu Yifei is still busy with the work that will be disposed of a few years ago, so that she can spare time to accompany Wu Yuan for the New Year.

Wu Yuan, who was home alone, soon couldn't bear it anymore after staying at home for a week, and went out for a walk.

And the first stop of his stroll was out of the capital and came to Huailai County, Hebei Province, not far from the capital.

Here in Huailai County, there is a Tianmo Film and Television City.

The desert is magical, it is only 80 kilometers away from the capital, but it is the same as the northwest desert.

A golden sand dune stretches between the mountains and rivers, undulating for more than ten miles, which is very peculiar and magnificent.

Mountains, Gobi, deserts, lakes, ancient beacon towers and old theaters in mountain villages constitute a unique landscape.

The majestic beauty of the natural and cultural landscapes here is unique in the vicinity of the capital.

Naturally, the natural yellow sand Gobi so close to the capital has naturally become the filming location of major domestic film and television dramas.

"Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Journey to the West", "Eastern Zhou Kingdoms", "XZ Fengyun", "The Mummy III", "Huanzhu Gege" and other hundreds of film and television dramas have been filmed here.

And this is also one of the important filming locations of the movie "Dragon Gate Flying Armor".

The endless desert and desolate inn in the movie "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" can be said to be the most impressive background of the film, but almost no one imagined that such a picture was actually shot only 80 kilometers away from the capital.

Even Wu Yuan himself, although he had been famous for a long time, was still surprised by the scenery of the desert after he really drove here.

"I really didn't expect that there could be places around the capital that are so similar to the Huangsha Gobi in the northwest, and I knew that when I was filming "Painted Skin", I should have come here directly to shoot the scene."

"Haha, Director Wu, the scenery here is really good." Old Monster Xu, who came to greet Wu Yuan in person, led Wu Yuan and introduced with a smile: "Look. ”

"On the north side of the desert is the clear Guanting Reservoir, on the south side is the reckless Jundu Mountain Range, and in the foothills of the mountain there are rammed earth beacons, arranged from west to east, which is the remains of the Yan Great Wall in the Warring States Period."

"Almost all film and television dramas with ancient themes can be filmed here, which is very good."

"This place was told to me by the people of Zhongying, otherwise I really didn't know that there was such a place at the foot of the capital."

Hey, Wu Yuan patted his head and remembered that Zhongying had also told him about it, but he was busy forgetting about it later, and at that time, he only wanted to shoot "Painted Skin", and if he wanted to shoot the Gobi Desert, he would go to Dunhuang Gobi to shoot, and he was very arrogant, so he didn't take it to heart.

"It's a good place." Wu Yuan nodded, and before he could chat with Xu Ke a few more words, Chen Kun, Zhou Xun and other friends had already gathered around.

Today, for Wu Yuan's visit, Xu Ke even suspended the filming work and took everyone from the set directly to the door of the film and television base to wait for him.

To have this honor, of course, Old Monster Xu wants to get some real material from Wu Yuan's set.

After a few simple polite words, he didn't let Wu Yuan talk to Chen Kun and others about the current situation, so Xu Ke hurriedly pulled Wu Yuan back behind the monitor on the set, called up the first 3D shot he shot, and demonstrated it to Wu Yuan on the spot.

In the picture, a big flag is hunting in the wind, and the four big characters of "Longmen Inn" suddenly appear, and in the vast desert, the caravan is faintly visible, and the two mysterious backs move towards the inn......

The feeling is the same as "New Dragon Gate Inn" many years ago, except that there are more 3D effects.

Xu Ke is very confident in his script and directorial level, and he doesn't need to consult others.

He just felt a little uncomfortable and confused about the 3D technology he had never used and the way 3D movies were filmed, and he needed Wu Yuan, a professional, to provide some opinions and suggestions, so he showed him shots that had little to do with the story in the play.

However, from this shot, Wu Yuan can already see the 3D directing level of "Dragon Gate Flying Armor".

"The aesthetics and composition of a 3D lens are different from a 2D film."

"Take martial arts fight scenes as an example, some prospects are too close to make people uncomfortable, and some are too far away and make people feel ......"

Regarding the 3D picture shot by Tsui Hark, Wu Yuan also talked eloquently.

"For example, when two actors are playing against each other, how should the actors in front of the camera move, how should the martial arts actions be handled, and how can they make that three-dimensional feeling when doing post-production......"

"These should be new experiences that you have not experienced in your previous film shooting, so you should pay attention to them."

While Wu Yuan was talking, Xu Ke also listened very carefully, and when he encountered something that he didn't understand or had ideas, he would actively discuss it with Wu Yuan.

Although Xu Ke is a director on Hong Kong Island, his Mandarin is still good, and Wu Yuan, a native of Beijing, does not find it difficult to communicate with him.

The two talked for more than two hours.

How to say that Xu Ke is also one of the best films among Hong Kong Island directors, especially in fantasy and magic themes, he has a common language with Wu Yuan.

The two talked about the future market of 3D movies in China from the application and development of 3D film technology, and talked about the future film shooting plan.

Even when talking about the rise, Wu Yuan also sent an invitation to Xu Ke, inviting him to join the Xianxia Cinematic Universe Project in the Age of Light and Shadow and shoot this cinematic universe together.

The Xianxia movie universe in the era of light and shadow is positioned in the style of Xianxia, fantasy, and magic, and Xu Ke happens to be a director who has made achievements in the fields of fantasy, magic, and Xianxia movies in addition to Wu Yuan.

From "Shu Mountain" to "Di Renjie's Divine Dragon King", Xu Ke's use of film special effects technology and the shooting of magical fantasy movies are the best directors in China.

If he comes to join the Xianxia Cinematic Universe in the Age of Light and Shadow, it will definitely be like a tiger with wings.

It's a pity that in the face of Wu Yuan's invitation, although Xu Ke was very interested, he could only decline it temporarily.

He still has two films in the "Di Renjie" series to be filmed, and there is also a film on the theme of the Anti-Japanese War that he has negotiated with Bona to be promoted in the future, and there will be no schedule in the next three or five years.

Hong Kong Island directors are like this, the schedule is negotiated very early, and they treat the identity of a director more as a job, rather than artists, creators, etc., and plan their work arrangements early.

Wu Yuan wanted to hook up with Xu Lao Wei temporarily, but he couldn't succeed.

Fortunately, Wu Yuan was also interested and asked casually, it is not necessary for Xu Ke, after all, he is in charge, it is really not possible to expand the follow-up stall, and he can also take over in person.

"That's a pity." At the end, Wu Yuan sighed regretfully and said to Xu Ke: "I hope we can have the opportunity to cooperate in the future." ”

"The future is still long, I don't think Director Xu will be a problem for you to shoot until you are 80 years old!"
