Huayu: Director started with art films

Chapter 4 004 [What is the truth?] Please add to your collection and recommend
Li Yishu originally thought that her mother Zhao Xue was just joking and teasing her, but she never expected that the old lady would actually take it seriously.

The next day, when Li Yishu and his father Li Jian were looking for a suitable village for filming, his mother Zhao Xue volunteered and took the initiative to serve as Jiang Qinqin's acting teacher.

"Qinqin, you should have read the script. This play is mainly about the relationship between father and son. You don't have many scenes, but if it's well shot, it will be of great help to you in the future."

"I will act well, Aunt Zhao."

"It will probably start filming in a few days. Auntie will teach you how to stand in front of the camera first..."

"Okay, Aunt Zhao." Jiang Qinqin nodded. She also knew that it was unrealistic to learn how to perform in just a few days, so learning how to stand first was the best option.

After more than ten minutes, Zhao Xue saw that Jiang Qinqin was learning very seriously and was very satisfied.

I originally thought that this girl might not know anything since it was her first time filming a movie, but I didn't expect that she had great talent and could learn it with just a little teaching.

At this time, Jiang's mother came over with tea. Seeing her daughter practicing her movements seriously, she smiled and said, "Aunt Zhao, if Qinqin doesn't practice well, you have to scold her harshly..."

"Qinqin is pretty good. She learns things easily and understands them quickly. She is much smarter than my kid. I can't bear to say anything bad about her."

"Look at what you said, Sister Zhao. I think Yishu is a good kid. He can become a famous director at such a young age. He will be amazing in the future. He may win a big award abroad like Zhang Yimou who directed Red Sorghum."

"Haha, I don't dare to hope for a big award, but as long as this movie is successfully made, I will be very happy."

"It will definitely be filmed. Although I don't understand the script, I understand the painting. It's really beautiful. And if you look at it based on this painting, the movie will definitely be great."

"..."

Zhao Xue pulled Jiang's mother aside and started chatting with her.

One for their son and the other for their daughter, and soon they became sisters.

"Okay Qinqin, that's enough for today. Go and have a rest first."

"Okay, Aunt Zhao." Jiang Qinqin glanced at her mother and saw that she didn't seem to want to leave yet, so she said, "Mom, I'll go back to my room first."

Mother Jiang waved her hand and said, "Yes, go ahead. I'll talk to your Aunt Zhao for a few more words."

After Jiang Qinqin left, Zhao Xue looked at her slender and tall figure, and felt more and more satisfied. She couldn't help but say:

"Lao Li and I used to want to have a daughter, but it just happened to be the time of reform and opening up. Emei Film Studio had a big reform and we had a lot more filming tasks. We never had the chance. Now that we are old, we don't have that desire anymore."

When Jiang's mother heard this, she was a little confused and didn't quite understand what Zhao Xue meant.

After Zhao Xue revealed that she had always wanted a daughter, she saw that Jiang's mother hadn't reacted yet, so she immediately revealed her true intentions, "I like Qinqin very much, and I want to adopt her as my goddaughter. What do you think?"

"Sure!" Jiang's mother's eyes lit up and she agreed without hesitation.

Zhao Xue is in Emei Film Studio. Although she is not as famous as Zhu Lin, who played the Queen in "Journey to the West", she is still somewhat well-known in Sichuan and Shu.

After all, she has been making movies for more than ten years and has appeared in hundreds of film and television works, big and small. Jiang's mother has also watched many movies starring Zhao Xue and local Sichuan TV dramas in the past.

Now that such a famous person wants to adopt Qinqin as his goddaughter, how could Jiang's mother refuse?
"Haha, that's great."

Zhao Xue was so happy that she clapped her hands and said, "Big sister, you should treat my brat as your own son. When you are filming on the set, if Qinqin needs anything, just go to him directly."

Mother Jiang was slightly startled, and seemed to understand something in her heart, and thought about it carefully.

With a mother like Zhao Xue who is an actress, Li Yishu is naturally not ugly. Her thick eyebrows and big eyes are in line with the aesthetic characteristics of this era.

The age difference between her and her daughter is not much, and Li Yishu became a director at a young age. Her parents, one director and one actor, are veteran employees of Emei Film Studio for many years.

Dual-income families are still quite popular these days.

If nothing unexpected happens, Li Yishu will definitely be able to work at Emei Film Studio after graduation.

By then, there will be three employees in one family. In the future, there should be some way to arrange a formal job for Qinqin in a film studio.

All in all, it's not a loss to have Li Yishu as my son-in-law!

Thinking of this, Jiang's mother nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, then I'll listen to Sister Zhao."

At this time, Li Yishu, who had no idea that her mother was assisting her behind the scenes, was looking for a suitable filming location in a nearby village with her father Li Jian and several crew members.

Li Yishu already had this movie in her mind, and the plot was basically not changed, except that the filming location was changed from southern Hunan to Sichuan, and the Dong girl in the original movie was changed to a Yi girl.

There are still many Yi people in Sichuan, so after informing the original author and getting his consent, I made the changes directly.

In fact, after obtaining the adaptation rights, Li Yishu has the power to modify the original short story, even if it is completely unrecognizable.

However, these days many film and television works are adapted from novels, and Li Yishu does not want to give people the feeling of disrespecting the original author. It is just a modification of the background of the heroine, which is insignificant and does not cost much to make a phone call.

After spending four or five days, we finally found several scenic locations for filming. In order to reflect the hard work of the rural postmen, the final destination was chosen as Gulu Village, Yongli Township, Ya'an.

Gulu Village is a typical Yi village located on the cliff at the entrance of the Dadu River Grand Canyon. The whole village is located on a cliff at an altitude of 1400 meters and is known as the village on the cliff.

Before Li Yishu was reborn, this village had become an Internet celebrity attraction. In order to facilitate tourists to go up the mountain, the government specially dug a cliff plank road and a mule and horse path less than one meter wide on the cliff.

At present, Li Yishu asked someone and found out that the steel ladder is still in use there.

In the past, local villagers have always relied on their hands to communicate with the outside world along the almost vertical steep rocks and vines.

It was not until the 1950s that the railway troops constructing the Chengdu-Kunming Railway saw that local villagers were climbing up and down the cliffs, which was dangerous and inconvenient, so they built steel ladders for the villagers free of charge.

Nowadays, people are sent to inspect and repair the steel ladder every year to ensure its service life.

After learning about the situation, Li Yishu was deeply moved. It is true that the people's children serve the people.

"Director Li——"

Both father and son turned around at the same time.

When the man saw this, he quickly changed his words and said, "Director Li, are these the only filming locations we have chosen?"

"Well, that's all. Contact the locals as soon as possible and negotiate with them. We will officially start filming in a few days."

Li Yishu didn't say much about the title of Director Xiao Li. His father is also a director and they are in the same crew. It is definitely not okay to call him by his name.

Director Li, Little Director Li...they are just titles.

Moreover, Li Yishu believes that when the film is released, everyone will call him "Director Li" from the bottom of their hearts.
