To be honest, Zhang Yuanjun really didn't think that "Buried Alive" could be shortlisted for the main competition before, thinking that he could go to a kind of attention unit, and he would be content to walk the red carpet seriously.

I didn't expect the 60-year-old Cannes to give face so much, and directly put "Buried Alive" in the main competition unit.

Zhang Yuanjun is really not modest, he really thinks that being shortlisted is a success, and winning the award is unthinkable.

The film "Buried Alive" is better in terms of novel form, and the core is still anti-war, but the film does not dig deep into the emotions of the male protagonist, and second, it does not make a bright breakthrough and innovation on the theme of anti-war, the actor Zhang Yuanjun's performance is very good, not like a newcomer who has just graduated from film school, and the director is also a newcomer, so he will be nominated for comfort.

Winning the award was blind, Zhang Yuanjun didn't think about it, and neither did Rodrigo Cortez, including the film's main controlling distributor, Summit Entertainment.

However, they will all travel to Cannes in May to promote the film.

The crew in Yunnan Province is more troublesome, because according to the shooting plan made early in the morning, "Love Has an Afterlife" will be completed before the rainy season in Yunnan Province in June, and May is the most critical period for filming.

But Yu Feihong still approved Zhang Yuanjun's fake, and instructed the producer and assistant director: "Adjust the announcement behind and focus on filming Ah Ming's scene." ”

But Yu Feihong can control the crew, but he can't control the weather in Yunnan Province.

The weather in the Gaoligong Mountains in March is really unpredictable.

You can experience sunny, foggy, cloudy, rainy, hailstormy, and many other weather changes throughout the day.

The altitude of Gaoligong Mountain is 4,000 meters, and many people in the crew, including director Yu Feihong himself, have altitude sickness, not to mention Zhang Yuanjun, the actor who has a violent horseback riding action scene.

The usual fitness exercise is simply not enough to cope with the high reaction at this time, and in the first week of filming, the altitude sickness of the whole crew and the unpredictable weather made it almost impossible to carry out the daily filming work normally, and only five usable shots were taken in a week.

After Yu Feihong entered Yunnan, he really tasted how difficult it is to be a director.

There are 10,000 things waiting for her to deal with every day inside and outside the crew, Zhang Yuanjun himself has also made two movies "Fame" and "Animal World", which is considered experienced, watching the crew spend more than three hours back and forth on the road every day, but because the weather is changeable, he can't shoot a few more every day, and he is distressed as an actor.

This time and again, the shooting is stopped, how much money has to be wasted.

I heard that Mr. Yu prepared 40 million yuan to shoot this film, Zhang Yuanjun grinned when he heard it, the total cost of his two films was only more than 40 million, and she dared to spend 40 million on a debut literary film.

Some people also said that during the preparation period, Mr. Yu sold his house because he couldn't get investment.

Is the eldest lady so careless?

In the morning, the sky was blue and breezy, and it was a rare good weather.

Yu Feihong hurriedly organized the crew to start filming: "Hurry up and arrange it, shoot a few more, I have filmed 2 in the past few days, it's too slow." Hurry up. ”

Yu Feihong wore a hat and a down jacket to direct the crew.

It's still cold in the mountains in March.

Half an hour later, the crew was arranged, Yu Feihong handed over the monitor to the executive director, and came to the set by himself to change his clothes.

Zhang Yuanjun also took off his clothes and entered the venue, it was really cold, because he had to wear braids, Zhang Yuanjun shaved his head, and the cold air in the mountains blew his scalp, which was even colder.

"Ready, ready," the executive director shouted, "the horse leads." ”

"Alright."

Zhang Yuanjun and Yu Feihong stood at the door of the wooden house.

In this scene, Ah Ming asked for a beautiful white horse from his brother and gave it to Ah Jiu, and then Ah Ming took Ah Jiu to gallop on the mountain.

Zhang Yu and the others ran down from the door to start filming, and the indoor scenes were made up later, and they were connected together by editing when the time came.

It's simple, there's not even dialogue.

But it was such a simple scene, running out of the door, there was still an accident.

The group performance children were disobedient, the two ran down from the door of the room, and the children who were trotting and playing at the door did not avoid it, and Zhang Yuanjun almost hit him.

This was just a small problem, and the child didn't cry, Zhang Yuanjun hugged him and teased: "Do you know what filming is?" ”

The child shook his head.

"Do you know what you've been doing these days?"

"That uncle told me to play here." The assistant director doesn't just say that.

"Is it fun?"

"It's fun, a lot of kids together."

"How old is you?"

The child stretched out 4 fingers.

"Four years old, are you in school?"

"Nope."

After a few words of coaxing, Zhang Yuanjun put the child down: "Go play, don't run around." ”

Rebooted, this time when the two ran down, they managed to dodge the child.

But he escaped the children, and he did not escape other accidents.

After all, on the mountain, Zhang Yuanjun pulled Yu Feihong to trot down, and Yu Feihong slipped under his feet and fell a fart.

Yu Feihong himself smiled: "Come again, come again." ”

Standing up and patting his clothes, Zhang Yuanjun said, "Why don't I run slowly?" ”

"It's okay, it's my own slippery under my feet, and these old-fashioned cloth shoes are not slippery. Come again and again. ”

The third time this scene that couldn't be run down was successfully walked down, and the two stood in front of the horses.

Yu Feihong stretched out his hand to touch the white horse, the horse snorted, and it was estimated that it felt cold, Yu Feihong retracted his hand in fear, and Zhang Yuanjun gently grabbed Feihong's hand: "Don't be afraid." ”

Take her with you to stroke the mane of the white horse.

Then, Zhang Yuanjun suddenly hugged Feihong's waist, didn't think about it, didn't lift it, the two fell to the ground, Yu Feihong was on his back, and pressed on Zhang Yuanjun.

"Hahahaha!" The audience laughed.

The heroes and heroines, especially Zhang Yuanjun, clapped and laughed.

In the later scene, Zhang Yuanjun suddenly hugged Yu Feihong on the horse, and then he also turned over on the horse, and the two rode away.

"I'm not heavy." Yu Feihong got up from the ground, "You can't hold me?" ”

"No, it slammed, I didn't make any effort." Zhang Yuanjun explained, "In this way, when I hold you later, you can also lift it up yourself, so convenient." ”

"Okay. You change your clothes, and we'll reshoot them later. Falling to the ground, the back of Zhang Yuanjun's white robe was already dirty and needed to be replaced.

After Yu Feihong finished speaking, he went to the director's tent to watch the clip just shot.

Zhang Yuanjun changed his clothes, drank saliva, made up a simple makeup by the way, and returned to the set to continue working.

The two stood in front of the white horse, and Zhang Yuanjun touched the horse and said, "Be well-behaved later." ”

He said to Feihong: "Teacher Yu, let's try twice." ”

"Okay."

Zhang Yuanjun put his arm around Yu Feihong's waist: "One, two, three, go." ”

Yu Feihong himself also raised his strength, but Zhang Yuanjun was too energetic, and Yu Feihong did not get on the horse very well.

"You are small, I can reach it."

"Good. You sit forward, and I'll roll up behind me. ”

The two tried it twice more and completed it without a hitch.

"Here, actors, prepare," shouted the executive director, "start shooting!" ”
