I am a director, but I have the skills of an actor

Chapter 158 (Before banned! Don’t click if you’ve read it)
When Wan Qingshan came to the door of the crew's hotel, Gong Li, who was wearing a mask covering half of her face, walked out of the hotel!
"Wan Qingshan, you can do it now, or you don't let go. Once you let go, you will be more courageous than two years ago. You actually dare to openly ridicule those old immortals at the film festival.

However, you are comfortable, but I am in trouble.From last night to now, I have received four or five phone calls. They all said that I am okay and why Wan Qingshan is timid! "

Gong Li said she was in trouble, but the smile wrinkles at the corners of her eyes proved that those four or five phone calls had no impact on her.

"Sister Gong Li, you are an international actress who has entered Hollywood. Who dares to cause trouble for you!"

After a period of filming and getting along, Wan Qingshan and Gong Li have become more familiar with each other, and the names they call each other are not as polite as when they first met.

"No one dares to trouble me, but the phone harassment is enough to annoy me. Tell me what to do."

In the first half of the sentence, Gong Li's tone and eyes were very domineering, like a queen.But in the second half of the sentence, her eyes were full of joy.

Seeing this, Wan Qingshan accepted his fate helplessly and said, "Sister Gong Li, just tell me, what do you want me to do this time?"

Since we got to know each other well, Gong Li would occasionally say, "I debuted much earlier than you. When I was acting, you were still wearing crotchless pants."I'm your senior, why can't you do something for me! '.

'I'm almost a round older than you. In terms of age, I'm your elder.It's not convenient for the elders now. Go and buy something for me! 'In this case, direct Wan Qingshan to do some small things.

Suddenly, there were more wrinkles in the corners of Gong Li's eyes.

"You've said so, so I can't refuse your kind offer to respect your elders. This time, just like before, go help me buy two big cakes from the bakery diagonally across the street!"

Wan Qingshan couldn't help but roll his eyes, "Sister Gong Li, why do you like eating big cakes so much? I have bought big cakes for you four or five times, and you are not afraid of spreading the word and making you, an international star, seem a bit cheap!"

Gong Li's peach blossom eyes stared, "Big stars can't eat big cakes. Big stars are also human beings. Don't big stars not eat or poop? Big stars just..."

Having experienced Gong Li's non-stop talk like a machine gun, Wan Qingshan quickly shouted, "Sister Gong Li, stop talking, I'm going to buy it right now, I'm going to buy it right now!"

Wan Qingshan quickly handed the suitcase to Gong Li, turned around and ran to buy pancakes!
After Wan Qingshan bought the pie, he came back and handed it to Gong Li. Then he said to Gong Li, who was about to sit down and eat the pie, and dragged his suitcase toward the elevator entrance.

When he came to the door of the room, the room next to him suddenly opened and Zhou Runfa walked out.

"Director Wan, you are back!"

"Brother Fa!" Wan Qingshan replied very politely.

Zhou Runfa smiled and nodded, walking towards the elevator.

The relationship between people is very strange. Wan Qingshan and Zhou Runfa had a lively chat when they first met, but they had nothing to say with Gong Li.

But as time went by, Wanqingshan didn't know what went wrong.

His relationship with Zhou Runfa gradually became such that he could only say hello when they met, and then stopped talking.

The relationship with Gong Li is getting better and better, and they can joke with each other. Gong Li uses her status as an elder to command him to do small things, and he doesn't think anything about it.

After returning to the room, Wan Qingshan had just put away his things when his cell phone rang.

When he saw that the caller was Tang Jianli, who had left a phone number with each other before, Wan Qingshan's face changed slightly and his eyes flickered before he answered the call.

Without saying a few words, after hanging up the phone, Wan Qingshan called Li Yancheng again.

"Brother Cheng, stop and tell your people not to post anymore."

"No! Qingzi, why did you stop suddenly? Now, everyone on the Internet is questioning the authenticity of the college student film festival award selection.

In two days, if I increase the popularity of the post, I will completely ruin the reputation of the College Student Film Festival! "

"Brother Cheng, don't get excited. I don't want to stop, but I can't help it. The people from the College Student Film Festival are looking for connections and have gone to the top.

I just received a call, urging me to stop, saying that if I didn’t stop, the College Student Film Festival would not be successful, and I would suffer as well. "

Li Yancheng's voice didn't come from the phone for a while. After waiting for more than ten seconds, Li Yancheng's voice rang.

"I understand, Qingzi, I will tell them not to send it again!"

"Well! Brother Cheng, please ask Yu Ying to sign for reimbursement of this expense. I have told her before."

"Okay, Qingzi, if there's nothing else, I'll hang up now. I have to contact those people and ask them not to post anymore."

"that is it."

After hanging up the phone, Wan Qingshan sighed and threw the facts behind him. If the superiors took action, he would no longer be able to make any small moves.

People in Wanqingshan stopped posting, and the news companies that had previously reported on it also received calls and immediately deleted the news.

As soon as the news was deleted, and at this time, I don’t know whether Han Sanping was specifically notified by the superiors, or it was just a coincidence, the news came out that Wu Yusen was going to shoot "Red Cliff". It was an international director, a big investment, and it was a Three Kingdoms theme. Wan Qingshan was immediately placed in the movie. The heat of the news about the college student film festival was lost.

At noon, only some college students were still discussing the College Student Film Festival on the Internet, but now the heat is like the sun and a light bulb compared to last night.

When the fever was pitifully low, Wan Qingshan was having lunch in the hotel lobby. After just two bites, he saw Fan Bayi coming over.

"Miss Fan, didn't you have any fun last night? Why don't you need to rest?"

Fan Bayi's bright eyes dimmed instantly when he heard Wan Qingshan's name.

Immediately, a charming smile appeared on her face as usual,

"I had few scenes last night. I filmed two scenes and came back first.

Director Wan, you really stole the show yesterday.Last night on the set, everyone's phones were ringing non-stop. The callers were all asking you what happened on the set, which caused your temper to change drastically.

I also received several phone calls. They wanted me to give you more advice, Wan Dao, so that you don’t do this kind of thing again in the future. "

Wan Qingshan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who are the people calling you?"

A trace of doubt flashed in Fan Bayi's eyes, "The person who called me was not an artist, but someone from the Film and Television Actors Association and the Directors Association."

Fan Bayi also found it strange that she was cooperating with Wan Qingshan to open a company. To outsiders, she and Wan Qingshan were the same group, and these people were basically familiar with the judges of the College Student Film Festival. Why would they call her? .

As soon as she finished speaking, Fan Bayi suddenly thought of a possibility, so she continued, "By the way, two of them were judges of the Hundred Flowers Award before!"

Immediately, Wan Qingshan smiled, "Haha, it seems that everyone else is scared because of me making such a fuss. Now the call from the Hundred Flowers Award is coming to you."

Fan Bayi's eyes lit up. She had just guessed correctly that these judges were afraid of Wan Qingshan.

Then, she suddenly thought of something again and said in surprise, "Director Wan, what you mean is that this year's Hundred Flowers Award has to be awarded to you.

But I was worried that you would cause trouble at the Hundred Flowers Awards just like you did at the College Student Film Festival, so you called me and asked me to persuade you not to cause trouble? "

As soon as he finished speaking, Fan Bayi's eyes lit up, and then he said, "Director Wan, you should go to the College Student Film Festival knowing that you can win the grand prize!
Otherwise, given your grievances with the College Student Film Festival, you would definitely not attend it for no reason. "

As he talked, Fan Bayi started brainstorming.
“The College Student Film Festival definitely doesn’t want to give you the award, but for some reason, it has to give it to you.

That's why they decided to give Zhang Jin, the most popular actor, to suppress you.That’s why you broke up with the College Student Film Festival after you came on stage!
Wan Dao!I guessed it right! "

Fan Bayi, with a glowing face, looked at Wan Qingshan with some pride!
No one spread the news about Tang Jianli's meeting.People from various associations who participated in the meeting did not dare to spread the word, otherwise no one would go to any major film festival this year, and the awards have all been predetermined, so who would go?
People like Wang Zhongjun will not spread the news. If it spreads, it will offend Wan Qingshan, Tang Jianli, and people from major associations and the General Administration.

Wan Qingshan nodded and said with a smile, "That's right, almost completely correct. However, Miss Fan, haven't you heard a sentence before? You can't be too smart!"

Fan Bayi immediately threw a hygienic eye, "Director Wan, if you want to scare me, there's no need to say such things.

You can't be too smart as a person, that's something you only see in costume TV series. "

Wan Qingshan stopped eating, looked up at Fan Bayi, and said in surprise,
"Then what are you thinking about? What I said about not being too smart is that if you know too clearly, your life will be full of disappointment.

If you are an actor, you star in a wonderful movie, and you are a favorite for Best Actor at the film festival.

At this time, if you knew that I had already booked the Best Actor Award, would you be very disappointed? "

Fan Bayi was so embarrassed that he did not dare to look at Wan Qingshan.

She rolled her eyes to the side and laughed dryly, "Mainly because your words appear too often in costume TV dramas.

I have filmed several costume dramas and have encountered lines like this.So, as soon as you said it, I started thinking about that. "

Wan Qingshan snorted and ordered, "You can guess this if you have already guessed it, but remember, don't tell anyone!"

"Don't worry, Director Wan, I know the severity. If I tell anyone about this, all the film festivals in the country will exclude me. No film festival will like an actor who exposes the game behind the awards!"

Later, Fan Bayi and Wan Qingshan talked about Fanfan Company while eating.

When the meal was almost done, Wan Qingshan remembered something.

"Fanfan Company is your company, just worry about it. You don't need to tell me in such detail, I don't care.

Let me tell you something serious now. Your scene will be finished soon! "

Seeing Wan Qingshan's official demeanor, Fan Bayi's smile immediately faded and his expression became solemn.

"Well, there are still a few scenes left. According to the shooting plan, my final scene will be in three days!"

"After the filming is completed, you find a teacher, a teacher who specializes in teaching modern women how to walk in cheongsam.

The drama "Ip Man" was specially used by Jiang Zhiqiang to praise Zhang Jin.He wanted to change the name of Zhang Jin, the future kung fu superstar, into a kung fu superstar.

So this movie focuses on overseas markets.Although the leading female role is just a flower vase and she doesn't have many roles, if you can show the unique beauty of Oriental women wearing cheongsam, then I guess you can become famous internationally. "

Fan Bayi was still trying to win international fame, but when his mind went blank in shock - "Stand up and let me see!"

After Fan Bayi came to his senses, he stood up immediately.

Wan Qingshan looked at it carefully and then said, "Turn around!"

After Wan Qingshan looked at it carefully, he said, "Okay, sit down!"

As soon as Fan Bayi sat down, his eyes widened and he asked excitedly, "Director Wan, is "Ip Man" really going to be released overseas? Will it be released in the United States?"

"Jiang Zhiqiang wants to make Zhang Jin a kung fu superstar. If he is not famous in the United States, what is he called a kung fu superstar?"

As soon as Wan Qingshan finished speaking, Fan Bayi murmured with joy, "It's released in the United States! Then I can be considered an international star!"

Seeing this, Wan Qingshan smiled and said, "If you think so, then you don't have to wait for "Ip Man". Director Zhang's "The City of Golden Armor" will definitely be released worldwide!"

Fan Baiyi rolled his eyes, "How can it be the same? I'm just a supporting role in "The City of Golden Armor"! I'm the leading female lead in "Ip Man"!"

Then, Fan Bayi continued to fantasize with blank eyes, "Director Wan, you said that if "Ip Man" can be as popular in North America as "Hero", then can I be like Zhang Ziyi and break into Hollywood? !”

Seeing that Fan Bayi's fantasy was a bit outrageous, Wan Qingshan couldn't help but complain, "Oh, oh, stop dreaming. The main selling point of "Ip Man" is kung fu, and you just play a vase role.

Even if "Ip Man" is a hit at the box office abroad, the only one that will be popular is Zhang Jin.

Have you ever seen which actress who played the role of Flower Vase in the Chinese Kung Fu films of Cheng Long and Jet Li became famous in the United States? "

Wan Qingshan's words made Fan Bayi's face stiffen. Then she was still smiling, but she was not as excited as before.

"Haha, then I can also be said to be an international star. At least my movie starring the female lead was released in the United States!"

"Don't use these useless names. It's okay to deceive the audience with these false names. But they can't deceive people in the industry, nor can they deceive commercial companies. Your salary and commercial endorsements will not increase."

"It's okay if I can deceive the audience. At least in the hearts of the audience, my status is higher than that of people like Li Bailian!"

Wan Qingshan couldn't help but roll his eyes.Even after they came out of Huayi, Fan Bayi was only thinking about overpowering Li Bailian!
"Don't talk about these uncertain things in the future, let's get back to business.

I just said, if you can show the unique charm of Oriental women wearing cheongsam, then you can become a little famous internationally even if you play a vase role. "

Regarding the matter that became popular in the world, Fan Bayi sat upright, ears pricked, and looked closely at Wanqing Mountain, for fear of missing a word.

"You need to find a teacher to learn how modern women walk in cheongsam, and most importantly, you need to lose weight.

Except for your face, everything else about you is a bit fat.Of course, being fatter in some places would look better.But you are all fat, and you are also fat in some places that shouldn’t be fat.

Especially your waist, which is too fat, and you are not slim at all. Viewed from the side, you look like a big bucket! "

Fan Bayi was stunned for a moment, then gritted his teeth and looked at Wanqing Mountain, wishing he could go up and bite him.

"Don't blame me for speaking harshly. If I don't tell you the truth now, when "Ip Man" is finished filming and released, you will blame me for not telling you the truth in the first place."

Although Fan Bayi knew that Wan Qingshan was right, she was still very angry that Wan Qingshan treated her body like a big bucket.

She gritted her teeth and said, "Director Wan, then I have to thank you very much for commenting on my figure!"

Wan Qingshan pretended not to notice Fan Bayi's clenching of teeth and his eyes as if he wanted to kill someone.

He even nodded to Fan Bayi's words.

"Don't thank me too much now, thank me later after you change your figure and become famous!"

'Creak, creak! '

Fan Bayi looked closely at Wanqing Mountain, and she made the sound of grinding her teeth!
A few seconds later, Fan Bayi saw Wan Qingshan eating normally like a normal person. She hummed and concentrated on eating.

In the evening, Wan Qingshan followed the crew to Ming Palace Qingyuan to continue filming!
Three days later, Fan Bayi was finished filming, and Wan Qingshan's role was reduced a lot.

The character Yuan Xiang has the most scenes with the Queen, and these scenes have been filmed before.The second most frequent scenes are with Cheng Yue. Now that the role of Cheng Yue is finished, only the scenes with Wang are left.

In June, although the weather was not particularly hot, wearing costumes that were not very breathable during filming made it unbearably hot.

Then, the crew's already outrageous style became even more outrageous.

When the weather gets hot, those college students who play the role of palace maids, and when they have no time to play, in pursuit of coolness, they act like something.

This kind of scene lasts until the end of June, because there is only one indoor scene in "The Golden Armor", which is the scene of the battle in the palace!

At night, the front hall square of the Ming and Qing palaces was covered with golden summer chrysanthemums!
Smelling the overpowering floral fragrance that filled the air, Zhou Jielun covered his nose and walked quickly to the dressing room.

Wan Qingshan quickly followed Zhang Yimou, listening to Zhang Yimou mobilize the group performers!
Wan Qingshan studied with Zhang Yimou for two months, but he only learned a little bit about the picture structure theory of big scenes in the scene where the king returns to the palace.

The rest of the scenes are all indoor scenes with opponents, and there are only a dozen or so people in one shot at most, so I can only learn some use and transformation of colors and mirror images.

Nowadays, after finally waiting for a big scene with thousands of people, or a big battle scene, Wan Qingshan doesn't want to miss it at all.

Zhang Yimou explained to Wan Qingshan in detail while mobilizing the group performers.It took about two hours to complete the preliminary work!
As Zhang Yiyang started, the curtain call and the sound of claps sounded, Jay Chou, who was wearing a dark golden armor, held a long prop knife, led a group of extras wearing chrysanthemum silk scarves, and trotted into the camera—— The dim palace gate.

As Zhou Jielun and several extras waved their swords, several extras at the palace gate fell down with a thud as instructed by the previous recorder, and then - "Stuck!"

Zhou Jielun, who had just taken a step and was about to run, immediately stopped and looked at Zhang Yimou.

Zhang Yimou waved to Zhou Jielun and said, "Come on, come here."

As soon as Zhou Jielun came over, Zhang Yimou said to Wan Qingshan, "It's your turn."

"Teacher Wan, please excuse me." Zhou Jielun said from the side and handed over the long prop knife very skillfully.

Wan Qingshan sighed, stood up, took the long knife, and said at the same time, "Director Zhang, you really should give me half of Zhou Tianwang's salary!"

"The remuneration was already given to him before filming started, so you go and ask for it from him!" Zhang Yimou said with a smile.

Knowing that Wan Qingshan was joking, Zhou Jielun said with a smile, "Teacher Wan, all the remuneration has gone into my pocket, so I won't be able to share it. How about I treat you to dinner after the filming is over?"

"If I don't eat, I'll get fat if I'm invited to eat by you every day!"

Wan Qingshan replied casually and walked quickly to the extras in golden armor.

I don’t know if Zhou Jielun really has no acting talent or why.

While watching Gong Li, Wan Qingshan, and Zhou Runfa perform, he also practiced martial arts moves with Wu Zhi. For more than two months, he just couldn't find a way to perform.

Not to mention asking him to act, he couldn't even act out the feeling of struggle between love and loyalty to the emperor and patriotism while looking at Gong Li with admiring eyes.

After filming for a long time, Zhang Yimou tried his best, but he couldn't make Zhou Jielun perform better.

So Zhang Yimou gave up the role of Bi Cheng and asked Zhou Jielun to use his original understanding of Bi Cheng to play a facially paralyzed character.

Zhang Yimou gave up, but Zhou Jielun didn't want to give up.He found Wan Qingshan and asked Wan Qingshan to show his admiring look.

Wan Qingshan performed once, and Zhou Jielun watched closely, and then - when he performed, he actually imitated Wan Qingshan's admiring look in his eyes.

So Zhou Jielun approached Wan Qingshan, hoping that when he had a role later, Wan Qingshan would perform it first and he would imitate it.

Wan Qingshan didn't want to take on this troublesome job, but he couldn't help Zhou Jielun, in order to play Bi Cheng well, he actually didn't want him to have the face of the king, and pestered him shamelessly.

Every day during filming, he gave Wan Qingshan something to drink. After filming, he took Wan Qingshan along and invited Wan Qingshan to dinner, shouting Master Wan one after another.

In addition, Zhang Yimou also persuaded Wan Qingshan several times for the sake of movie effect. Wan Qingshan, who had already experienced the role of Bi Cheng in his dream, could only agree.

Then, every time he performed, Wan Qingshan would perform it again, and Zhou Jielun would imitate it.

Some time ago, Wan Qingshan was really tired of performing, so he said that after imitating for so long, you should learn a little bit, and it's time for you to perform on your own.You can't. When you film in the future, you can ask me to come over and let you imitate!

After imitating it for so long, and also thinking about it on a daily basis, Zhou Jielun is somewhat familiar with the role of Bi Cheng. When he performs it on his own, he is somewhat qualified!
However, Wanqingshan was still not completely free.

Once Zhou Jielun's performance was not up to standard, Zhang Yimou was too lazy to tell the drama, because he had talked about so many dramas with Zhou Jielun before, but it had no effect at all. The only way to help Zhou Jielun was to let Wan Qingshan perform it again.

As Wan Qingshan walked up to the group of actors, Zhang Yimou shouted to start, and then started acting directly.

This is considered an off-screen performance, there is no sound of curtain announcements or dressing up!
Wan Qingshan led the extras and ran into the camera. He waved the prop knife to kill the two extras. Then, he suddenly raised his head and looked directly at the camera with a pair of dead eyes.

"stop!"

Zhang Yimou put down the speaker, turned to Zhou Jielun, who was staring at the monitor closely, and asked, "Do you understand?"

Zhou Jielun lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then said excitedly, "Director Zhang, I understand. Although the character Bi Cheng loves the queen, he rebels against the king for the queen.

But the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor and patriotism has been implanted in his mind since he was a child, so when he led Liang soldiers to attack the palace, he had already prepared that regardless of success or failure, he would die to free himself. "

Zhang Yimou was stunned for a moment and said helplessly, "We have already talked about the understanding of the character Bi Cheng before, and you don't need to tell me about the understanding of the character again.

Did I understand?Do you know how to imitate?Can you imitate Wan Qingshan's last look? "

The excited expression on Zhou Jielun's face froze instantly, "Uh, uh, Director Zhang, I'll try my best!"

At this time, Wan Qingshan had already walked over and handed the long knife to Zhou Jielun.

Zhou Jielun thanked Wan Qingshan and ran towards the group of performers.

Wan Qingshan sat on the small bench.

"Director Zhang, there's nothing wrong with my performance!"

"What's your problem? If there's a problem, it's that your acting is too good. I'm afraid Zhou Jielun won't be able to imitate him."

Zhang Yimou was already worried when Wan Qingshan's dead eyes were played by Zhou Jielun into indifference.

However, Zhang Yimou also knew that even if all the actors in the circle were brought over, not many people could imitate Wan Qingshan's look just now.

In addition, Zhou Jielun played the role of indifference, which was reasonable in the role of Bi Cheng, so Zhang Yimou passed it, just as a habit.

I also want to see if Bao Yitiao and Zhou Jielun can make some progress.

However, Zhang Yimou was still disappointed, but Zhou Jielun still acted indifferent.

Zhang Yimou didn't bother to correct it, and he couldn't correct Zhou Jielun's acting skills.

In the subsequent scenes, Jay Chou's eyes remained indifferent, which was appropriate in this plot, so Wan Qingshan didn't have to go up to demonstrate.

After a few shots, the main event came. Wan Qingshan braced himself and looked closely at the monitor.

Zhang Yimou used three people to shoot this scene at the same time!
In the monitor, looking down from the camera, thousands of extras wearing silk scarves embroidered with chrysanthemums and golden armors were rushing towards the palace with long swords in hand.

The picture from the overhead shot is majestic, while the picture from the side angle shot is sharp and chilling. The side shot is aimed at the shining prop sword in the hands of thousands of extras!

The shot directly in front has a sad mood. The camera is focused on the blooming summer chrysanthemum, which is trampled into mud by the extras.

As Zhou Jielun and the extras trampled over tens of thousands of summer chrysanthemums and walked to the steps of the palace, Zhang Yimou shouted with a loudspeaker, "Okay, prepare for the next shot!"

Although Zhang Yimou likes to keep one, he can't keep another shot of this shot. He can't find tens of thousands of summer chrysanthemums to keep one!
"Did you see anything from the footage just now?" Zhang Yimou put down the speaker and asked Wan Qingshan.

Wan Qingshan thought for a while and replied, "Three shots and three angles all produced different feelings.

As for the overhead shot, when the film was finished, Director Zhang probably wouldn’t have included too much of it, it might just be a fleeting moment.

Although the overhead shot looks majestic at first, it is still a flat surface when looking down. As long as you look at it a few more times, the majestic feeling will be gone. Instead, it will make the audience feel alienated and difficult to sink into the plot. .

Although the side angle shot has a sense of chilling and space, because it is aimed at a long knife, if there are too many shots, it will be very abrupt.

The shot in the front is probably the most common in the film. The trampling of Xia Ju not only has a sad meaning, but also metaphors that these soldiers in golden armor will end up with the golden Xia Ju under their feet.

At the same time, through the neat pace, people can feel the momentum of thousands of troops. "

A trace of surprise flashed in Zhang Yimou's eyes. He nodded and answered.

"You're right, the picture taken by the front lens is the focus for me. The pictures taken by the overhead shot and the side angle shot are just because the front lens lacks a sense of space, so I use them to supplement the sense of space.

What I want to tell you with these three shots is that when shooting big scenes, don’t desperately pursue the sense of space.

Movies are a main body. You can’t make the picture look dull for the sake of a sense of space. You have to make a choice in your mind. "

Wan Qingshan nodded, "Director Zhang, thank you for your advice!"

Then, Wan Qingshan looked at the group performers over there and smiled,
"Director Zhang, these three shots gave me a little insight!"

Zhang Yimou, who was about to pick up the water glass at his feet, was stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly looked at Wanqing Mountain!

"That is, when shooting big scenes, the extras must be performed by people from the army."

The extras for this performance were people borrowed from nearby troops by Zhang Weiping and Zhang Yimou.

The performance just now can be said to be meticulous, without a single mistake.

Zhang Yimou's nervous expression suddenly relaxed!

When Wan Qingshan said that he had realized something just now, Zhang Yimou suddenly became nervous.After only a few years of teaching, Wan Qingshan was able to understand something that he didn’t even know. Then he...
Zhang Yimou breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the water glass and took a sip of water before turning his head to look at the extras over there.

"It is very convenient to use troops to shoot this kind of scene. If it were an ordinary group act, the scene just now would probably not be finished in three days.

But I could only borrow them for a week. The time was too tight, otherwise I would have really wanted to make the palace battle scene longer. "

Then Zhang Yimou got up and walked towards the martial arts instructor, while waving to Zhou Jielun.

In the next scene, Zhou Jielun's action scene is the key.

After a while, when everything was ready, we started to continue shooting.

The scene of the battle in the palace took three full days to shoot. After the filming, Wan Qingshan, Gong Li, and Zhou Jielun's scenes were all completed.

After the crew held a wedding banquet for Gong Li and Zhou Jielun, Wan Qingshan went with the crew to shoot location scenes - the assassination of Imperial Physician Chiang and the Jiang family, and the battle between soldiers from the two countries!
Although the script has been changed, the filming location for "A City Full of Golden Armor" is still set at the Wulong Tiankeng in Chongqing!
It was very troublesome to shoot location scenes in Wulong Tiankeng. This is a tourist attraction. The transportation from where I live to the filming location is very inconvenient, and it is very troublesome to transport the filming equipment.

I set off from my place of residence early in the morning and arrived at the shooting location almost noon. I couldn't take a few shots. It was getting dark and I had to pack my things and prepare to go back. It was completely impossible to shoot.

The staff at the tourist attractions are very willing to cooperate. After all, Zhang Yimou's movie is filmed here, which is also a disguised promotion of the place. They can also use another publicity method to attract more tourists.

But their cooperation is of no use, and it is useless if the traffic problem cannot be solved.

In the end, Zhang Weiping could only say, everyone, please work harder and set up tents near the shooting location!Except for Zhou Runfa who complained, everyone else had no objections to this.

This matter has been solved, but there is still a big problem, which is the extras!
Thousands of extras are needed, and they have to be of decent size. Those who are too skinny and short can't even hold up the armor, so they definitely can't be asked.

As a result, Zhang Weiping, who started looking for extras as early as half a month ago, has not yet finished everything.

There are tens of thousands of extras in Hengdian, and it will definitely be no problem to select a few thousand extras who are of decent size.

But there are also many crews filming in Hengdian every day. If Zhang Weiping brought thousands of extras from Hengdian, half of the crews in Hengdian would be shut down.

When the time comes, the government departments in Hengdian will not agree. If these crews are stopped, then Hengdian Film and Television City will have less income, and they will also be affected.

Therefore, Zhang Weiping could only find him from film and television bases across the country, which took a lot of time.

So after the crew came to Wulong Tiankeng, they spent two days filming the scene of the assassination of Imperial Physician Chiang and the Chiang family in the Tianfu Guanyi. The crew stopped filming and stayed in the hotel every day, waiting for Zhang Weiping to find all the extras shoot.

Zhang Weiping has been promoting "The Golden Armor" since the filming started. He followed Wan Qingshan's promotion method for "Loyal Liver and Righteousness", which is now the most popular promotion method in the industry.

During the filming, news and stills from the crew often appeared on TV entertainment news programs. Zhang Weiping also asked the camera crew to take some behind-the-scenes videos from time to time and put them on the Internet for publicity.

The publicity is constant, and the starring roles are Gong Li, who has not worked with Zhang Yimou for many years, Zhou Runfa, who has entered Hollywood, and Wan Qingshan, who has been in the news since his debut.

Therefore, reporters from the news media are still paying close attention to the situation of "The Golden Armor". Within a few days of the crew arriving in Wulong, many paparazzi reporters came immediately after knowing that they were filming an external scene.

Filming took place in the Ming and Qing palaces, and the crew had to shoot at night. It was almost a closed shooting, so reporters couldn't take any photos.

As for accommodation, the crew stayed in a big hotel, Zhang Weiping also hired a group of security guards, and the leading actors didn't go out much, so they couldn't even interview them if they wanted to.

So the reporters waited outside the hotel for two days, and when they couldn't find any opportunity, they all left.

Now that they have come to Wulong to shoot location scenes, the crew will definitely not be able to shoot in a closed environment.

It's just that these reporters arrived a day late, after filming the scene of assassinating Imperial Physician Chiang and the Chiang family.Now that the crew has stopped filming and is staying in the hotel, they can't film anything.

Arriving a day late, they were even less likely to leave right away. If they didn't take some pictures and go back, their trip would have been in vain.

Wan Qingshan was in the room. He opened the curtains and looked down. He saw reporters in the flower beds at the entrance of the hotel.

At this time, the mobile phone on the coffee table suddenly rang!
Wan Qingshan put down the curtains and walked over quickly. He picked up the phone and saw that it was Zhang Zhao. He was a little curious as to why Zhang Zhao was calling him at this time!
