The "Wuliangye" advertisement was born from Zhang Yimou's movie "Hero" and Ang Lee's movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

In "Hero", Zhang Ziyi and Maggie Cheung fought in the poplar forest, and their light skills were elegant, dressed in red, like a dragon, and fluttering.

"Wuliangye" was filmed in Zhuhai, and the script is very simple.

Xu Chen and Gao Yuanyuan were dressed in green, floating out of the dust, and their toes tapped the bamboo tips, looking like green cranes.

The bamboo forest frolicked, looked at each other and smiled, as if they knew, raised their glasses and drank each other, and they were interesting.

Daishan is like green, bamboo forest, stream, resentment is indifferent, like a fairyland on earth.

Lou Ye was blind to this kind of script, the whole script has a total of 77 words, with Xu Chen's requirements, what is poetic, beautiful and romantic, dreamlike......

His first impression: "Brother Chen plays with me? ”

It's good that this kind of 77-word script can make a film, and there are a bunch of requirements, I really think the director is very simple!

"Xu Chen, your script is very good." Zhang Yimou is a master photographer.

He has very low requirements for the script and high requirements for the beautiful and natural scenery.

Although Xu Chen's script is only 77 words simple and requires a basket, he immediately had a thousand strange ideas in his mind, and his serious and vicissitudes of life cheeks were soft, and he was eager to try: "There are mountains, water, and bamboo, Xu Chen, the idea of you choosing to shoot in front of the pool is very good, and the framing from the front can show the characteristics of the bamboo sea very well." ”

"Brother Zhang, I'm going to ...... like this" Xu Chen had a ready-made shot in his mind.

He invited Zhang Yimou to come, just to play the lens aesthetics to the extreme, and to create Gao Yuanyuan, the first ancient style goddess in the mainland.

The tray came out, pointed to the lake in the distance and said: "The camera enters from the lake, the male protagonist on the bamboo raft looks up by chance, the female protagonist is standing on the bamboo tip in the distance, the background is the bamboo sea, take the artistic conception of Luoshen, and then the male protagonist leaps from the bamboo raft, the dragonfly points to the water, the two of them are like white cranes playing in the bamboo sea, looking at each other and smiling, sending out chivalrous tenderness." ”

"In front of the bamboo house, the camera enters from the front and takes the silhouette of the male and female protagonists."

The more Xu Chen spoke, the more excited he became, and his ideas came out one after another, dancing with his hands: "Brother Zhang, do you see if there is a chance to have a classic image on the screen, Gao Yuanyuan is playful and cute, her front lens is slightly weaker, and the 45-degree tilt lens is the best, is there a possibility, she is in the bamboo top, the lens we push from the pond, and finally the water, bamboo raft, bamboo forest, green clothes, people, feelings, and scenery are blended." ”

Xu Chen has no basic theory of photography, and his lens sense is sparse and unsystematic.

Zhang Yimou understood in seconds, preset the camera, the vicissitudes of the bark face were full of thought, his mouth rubbed, and he shook his head and said: "It's too monotonous." ”

"It's easy to say, green is monotonous, with red, I have prepared a red umbrella."

"Red umbrella." Zhang Yimou thought for a moment, looked at Xu Chen with surprise in his eyes, the red umbrella was the finishing touch, and the whole picture was full of vitality in an instant.

The fox said suspiciously: "Xu Chen, do you have research on photography?" ”

There is a fart study, I have read the answer, Xu Chentian is shameless, and the corners of his mouth are hooked with a smile: "Brother Zhang, I have a lot of research on portrait photography." ”

Zhang Yimou made a movie, and the script was sparse, and Xu Chen's 77-word script couldn't make it difficult for him.

Moreover, Xu Chen gave the most important picture sense of photography, Zhang Yimou did not hesitate to point, pointed to the bamboo forest with mist, and explained to Xu Chen in detail how to compose and photograph.

Brother Chen didn't play with me, I'm too vegetable!

Lou Ye looked confused, the 77-word script, Xu Chen and Zhang Yimou chatted energetically, and they couldn't wait to start the movie now.

The more he listened, the more he fell into the quagmire of doubt, do he really understand the director, for Mao and them, 77 words can make a 10-minute film, the story logic, cause and effect, the beginning and the end are completely set aside!

This thing is called a movie, this is not a landscape promotional film!

…………

The filming period of "Qinchi Wine" is 10 days, and the crew is Rong Xinda's team, with first-class technology and very professional.

Xu Chen said the requirements, and the crew was busy in an orderly manner, and the WIA equipment and lens slides were laid in the bamboo forest.

Although the script is only 77 words, Xu Chen gave Lou Ye a detailed description of the shots and shooting requirements, and Lou Ye will do the rest by himself!

"Qin Chi Wine" is not a movie after all, the picture is beautiful, the people are beautiful, and it sums up one word: "beauty"!

The sun gradually reached the bamboo tops, the morning fog dissipated in the mountains and forests, and the green tide of the bamboo sea rolled.

The crew set up a small fire in the forest, with potatoes and corn in the fire, clay pots, and lemons, citrus, and longan roasted on barbed wire......

Tea is brewed around the hearth!

The teapot is steaming, the tip of the nose lingers with the fragrance of earth and bamboo leaves, which is leisurely and comfortable.

Zhang Yimou didn't bring a wife, and his relationship with Gong Li was difficult to explain, but Xu Chen felt that Lao Mouzi wanted to marry an innocent daughter-in-law.

Regardless of body, public opinion, or family background, you must be innocent, there are nude scenes in Gong Li's movies, and the most convincing thing is that Lao Mouzi asked her to shoot the naked scenes!

Don't have a filter for the director, Xu Chen said the first opinion to Gao Yuanyuan.

The crew of "Qinchi Wine" has a total of more than 80 people, eating, drinking, sleeping, props and expenses, opening your eyes is money, closing your eyes are trivial, Xu Chen is too lazy to work hard, and takes care of all of them for Gao Yuanyuan.

The little girl was busy, like a butterfly, her feet did not touch the ground, the crew had to ask her for approval to buy a nail, she was overwhelmed, staring at the budget list in a good way, frowning, and asked: "4 red umbrellas cost 540, where does this red umbrella come from?" ”

The leader of the props team picked at his brain, did not deceive the little girl, and grinned: "Gao Production, this red umbrella is an intangible cultural heritage, and it is woven by hand, if it weren't for my face, the price would be more expensive." ”

"Gao Producer, don't worry, Mr. Li has an explanation before he comes out, we understand this rule."

"Brother Qin, I'll just ask, it's nothing." Gao Yuanyuan carefully signed her name.

Brother Qin, the leader of the props group, walked out, the girl softened, she was weak next to Xu Chen's shoulder, her legs were straight, her white and tender little hands were clenched into fists, there was a match, and she hammered her legs without a match, and shouted lazily: "Comrade Xiao Xu, the producer is so tired, there must be something wrong with this Brother Qin, damn it." ”

"The props team is a pig seller, and the pork is from hand, and it is inevitable that it will be a little oily, and it will be fine if it is not too excessive."

Xu Chen trained Gao Yuanyuan to be a producer, and the training price was naturally willing, and his fingers hooked the tip of the little girl's white nose: "Let go and do it, the budget is 800,000, it's enough to make a movie, and you can toss it casually for 10 minutes of advertising." ”

"I want to save you some money." The little girl tilted her head.

The tip of his nose Nunu, affectionately rubbed Xu Chen's arm, and said Hanhan: "Comrade Xiao Xu, I see that Tan Zhishu and them are too hard, so I contracted the work built by the crew, as well as the crew's accommodation to the villagers, I added 10 yuan to the quotation for them, I calculated it, this money is 30,000 yuan more, just enough for my salary." ”

"Really good~" Xu Chen didn't care about the money.

The little girl is kind and cute, let's pay some money, besides, Gao Yuanyuan is using her own salary, he has no reason to criticize her.

"Gao Producer, how old is this year?" Zhang Yimou asked with a smile.

He has a good impression of Gao Yuanyuan, the little girl is very sincere, kind, and serious, and simple, which matches the four words of the yellow-haired girl.

"Uncle Zhang, I'm 18." Gao Yuanyuan hugged Xu Chen's arm.

Director Zhang Yimou, she has naturally heard of majestic deeds.

With Xu Chen here, she was not afraid of angering Zhang Yimou, her eyelashes fluttered, and she asked curiously: "Uncle Zhang, how many international awards have you won?" ”

"There are five or six." Zhang Yimou grinned, stared at Gao Yuanyuan, and said to Xu Chen: "Xu Chen, you are very lucky!" ”

"Average." Xu Chen was dumbfounded.

Zhang Yimou is very easy to get along with, an ordinary old man, knows a little photography, and has won several awards.

Nope.

…………

At 10:30 a.m., the sun was in mid-air, and the crew was ready to shoot.

The first scene is frolicking in the bamboo forest.

The camera is all close-up.

Xu Chen is dressed in a classical green robe, shaped like an old demon in a green robe in Shushan, his facial features are tough, and his hair is in a bun.

In this era, there was no monitor in filming, all the film was filmed, and no one knew what the effect was.

Fortunately, there is Zhang Yimou, his eyes are rulers, he said good, it will definitely not be bad.

Lou Ye carried the walkie-talkie, his heart trembled, and there was an international award-winning director squatting beside him, he had a sense of immediacy that the invigilator was guarding the exam, and shouted into the walkie-talkie: "ACTION!" ”

The camera is aimed at Xu Chen, and the play officially begins!
