Chapter 104 [Gong Li's Earth Mother Temperament, Heavy and Solid Beauty]

The high temperatures in Sichuan in summer are well known.

It is August now, which happens to be the hottest time of the year. This hotel has no air conditioning and only a small electric fan in each room.

What's more, the fan only blows out hot air.

It would be cooler to be in the bamboo forest.

And it's even more uncomfortable at night. It hasn't rained for several days, and the hot and humid weather is really unbearable.

When Li Yishu was alone in the room just now, she was sweating profusely due to the heat——

Now that Gong Li came, with the warmth of another person in the room, Li Yishu felt even hotter.

After entering the house, Gong Li put the bag on the table, took out a bottle of iced beer and handed it to him: "You look so hot and sweaty, have a bottle to quench your thirst."

"Blue Sword Beer?"

Li Yishu took the bottle of beer. The familiar style on it made him nostalgic. It had been almost decades since he had drunk this Blue Sword beer.

As a local beer brand in Sichuan, it has firmly occupied the Sichuan market since 1985. Blue Sword Beer can be seen in almost every convenience store and restaurant, just as popular as Snow Beer and Tsingtao later.

However, China Resources Beer was still too powerful and could not withstand the pressure from the opponent. From then on, Blue Sword became China Resources Blue Sword.

"I heard from the boss that this is your Sichuan beer. I don't know if it tastes good or not."

As Gong Li spoke, she opened the pull ring with a click and began to drink from the drink in big gulps.

After drinking half of it in one breath, Gong Li burped and said with a satisfied look on her face, "It tastes pretty good. It's a little softer than Yantai Beer and a little stronger than Tsingtao Beer."

Seeing Gong Li's comments, Li Yishu was a little surprised and asked, "Sister Gong Li drinks often?"

"It's okay. I like to drink some beer to cool off in the summer."

Gong Li opened a bag of packaged peanuts, peeled one, put it in her mouth and started chewing.

Li Yishu opened the pull ring and gulped down the ice-cold beer, which immediately dispelled a lot of the hot feeling in her body. She didn't know if it was because she was too hot or too thirsty, but she finished the whole can of beer in one gulp.

"belch--"

Li Yishu burped heavily, looking refreshed, "Relaxed! Let the crew buy some cold beer tomorrow."

Because the weather was hot during this period, the crew also got a huge insulated box, and brought in a large amount of Tianfu Cola and various drinks, as well as popsicles of different flavors every day.

During these days of outdoor scenes, one person had to drink at least seven or eight bottles a day.

It was really too hot, so Li Yishu deliberately avoided noon.

Gong Li noticed the storyboard on the table. She looked at the sketch of the female knight, and saw a large number of unknown objects suspended in the air around her. She asked curiously, "Yishu, what wonderful ideas do you have?"

It’s no wonder Gong Li asked this question.

Since Li Yishu invented the "bullet time" photography technique last time,

Recently, Li Yishu often has sudden ideas to shoot some scenes that are different from those previously scheduled, and the crew's budget is also constantly increasing.

Fortunately, the Canon Group is really wealthy. This time, it not only gave $200 million in exclusive sponsorship fees, but also an additional $100 million in photography technology fees.

After knowing this, Gong Li also sighed that these capitalists are really rich. From beginning to end in the official plot of the movie, Canon cameras and the word Canon never appear.

It is not until the last subtitle appears that there is a line: Exclusively sponsored by Canon Cameras.

Just for this sentence, I paid two million dollars~
Lee Ye-su smiled and said, “I want the bamboo leaves to be frozen in the air.”

"The bamboo leaves are frozen in the air?"

Gong Li was stunned, not quite understanding what he meant.

"To put it simply, these bamboo leaves fell from the sky, and I want them to stay in the air, and then they can move~"

Li Yishu's idea came from the later "Now You See Me 2". The shot of making the rain suspended was indeed shocking.

"Is it really possible?"

Gong Li's face showed surprise as she made the bamboo leaves hover in the air. She, the heroine, could even move among the hovering bamboo leaves. It seemed unreal no matter how she looked at it.

"It's hard."

Li Yishu shook her head: "But if we use rainwater, it will be much easier."

Decades later, the raindrop hovering magic has been performed in many children's palaces and science and technology museums.
In fact, this is not magic, nor is it entirely computer special effects, it is more of a visual effect.

The props used in this magic are just a large shower head, speakers and flash lights.

According to physics, as long as the nozzle is controlled to discharge water evenly (the initial velocity of the raindrops is the same), the raindrops will first experience the acceleration of gravity during the falling process, and then fall at a uniform speed due to the balance of air friction.

At this time, just add a lamp with a fixed flashing frequency in a dark background environment. Every time it is illuminated, you will see a drop of water at this position. If this continues, you will feel that the water drop is stationary in space.

This effect is called persistence of vision. When the human eye observes a scene, it takes a short period of time for the light signal to be transmitted to the brain nerves, and the final visual image will remain in the brain for 0.1-0.4 seconds.

If a new raindrop falls at this position during this remaining time, the visual system will make a wrong judgment and think that the raindrop is still hovering in the air.

After explaining it, Gong Li still looked confused.

In order to help her understand better, Li Yishu said: "It's like a car moving at high speed. We can clearly see that the tires are almost motionless, but in fact the tires are rolling at high speed. You can understand it as vision deceiving our brain."

"Oh~" Gong Li nodded, not quite understanding.

She didn't understand anything about the physics and air friction mentioned earlier.

But because Gong Li has seen it with her own eyes, she can understand that the car's tires remain still while it is driving at high speed is a visual deception.

"If it doesn't work, we can shoot a battle scene in the bamboo forest and heavy rain at night."

Li Yishu thought about it and decided that if the bamboo leaves couldn't hover, she could only use the magic of hovering rain in "Now You See Me 2".

"You have so many wonderful ideas~"

Gong Li said with emotion: "The Venice Film Festival is coming soon, and Director Zhang has started asking me when the filming will be finished. He is anxious to go to Venice in advance."

"Haha, we will definitely be able to finish filming before the end of the month, so as not to delay Gong Li's trip to Venice to win the grand prize."

Li Yishu smiled softly.

The two of them were drinking and chatting. The strong wind from the old electric fan not only failed to bring coolness on this hot summer night, but made people even hotter.

Gong Li seemed to be feeling very hot as well, so she unbuttoned a few buttons of her short-sleeved shirt, revealing a large area of ​​white skin.

The uneven distribution of sweat beads, sliding down the curves, added a different kind of temptation.

She untied her clothes to cool herself down, but it made Li Yishu feel hot both physically and mentally.

They are at the age when hormones burst out. Even though they are mature mentally, their bodies are still very immature.

Not to mention that men remain young until they die.

Gong Li didn't notice it at first, but when she finished the last bottle of ice-cold beer, put the can on the table and let out a long sigh of comfort, she saw Li Yishu's fiery eyes.

Following his gaze, Gong Li looked down and smiled slightly, "What are you looking at? Haven't you seen it before?"

Perhaps because of the wine she had drunk and the hot weather, Li Yishu subconsciously said, "I haven't seen it."

"Does it look good?"

"nice."

Hearing this, Gong Li raised her eyebrows, stretched out her hand and pinched Li Yishu's ear, pulling it and saying, "Okay, now you're talking nonsense to me, right?"

She used a lot of force, and Li Yishu stood up in pain. She followed Gong Li's strength and moved closer to her: "It hurts, it hurts, stop pulling my ears."

"Are you still talking nonsense to me?"

"I'm just telling the truth, ah~~"

"I told you to tell the truth!"

Li Yishu's ears were pulled red, and seeing Gong Li looking so smug, he stood up slightly, which gave him a perfect view of the mountains. While he was feasting his eyes, his young body and hot heart finally couldn't control themselves.

Reach out and hug the other person.

"You do it~"

Gong Li was stunned at first, but before she could say anything, her mouth was blocked.

A twisted dough stick was turning over and over in the hot oil pan.

It's really hot~
The heat in the house came in waves.

The electric fan was turned on to the highest setting, but it was still difficult to extinguish the fire, as if the two people were in a furnace.

It wasn't until the second half of the night that the temperature finally dropped a little.

Looking at Li Yishu's profile beside her, Gong Li said with a complicated expression: "Don't feel any psychological burden. Just pretend nothing happened tonight."

"Do I look like I have a psychological burden?"

Li Yishu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He didn't expect to be comforted by Gong Li. It was obviously his turn to say these words.

He has no psychological burden at all. The main reason why he has not taken any action is that he is afraid of ruining his relationship with Gong Li.

One of the three major illusions in life is that she likes me~
But this time it seems that the illusion was correct, Gong Li did have some different feelings for him.

"Humph!"

Gong Li snorted coldly: "I didn't realize that you have deceived many girls?"

"Sister Gong Li, it's enough for me to deceive you."

Li Yishu is not a fool, so she naturally won't mention others at this time.

Looking at Gong Li's mature and beautiful face, Li Yishu also felt emotional.

The woman is worthy of the nickname of Mother Earth. She truly carries the heavy and solid beauty of mountains and rivers. It seems that even her sadness carries the majestic temperament of the Mother Earth. She is charming like melted water, a water lotus swaying in the wind, shy of the cool breeze.

"Who would believe that? You, hey, what are you doing?"

"Remove that word."

Li Yishu once again transformed himself into an old farmer and cultivated this thick and solid land.
