Huayu: Director started with art films

Chapter 7 007 [Young friends, let’s meet today…] Please read
The couple had already planned their wedding date in advance, although they said they would actively cooperate if the crew wanted to change the time.

But Li Yishu thought about it and decided not to change the wedding date.

Although he paid the money, the two families had calculated the date in advance. If it was changed, it might be unlucky for the rural people.

So it’s still three days later as originally planned.

There will definitely be hundreds or even thousands of people attending the wedding.

In order to avoid too many NGs during Jiang Qinqin's first filming, Li Yishu found newcomers and some young men and women in the village to shoot some close-up shots at night.

This way, even if you make a mistake, you can try again.

You don't have to wait until the wedding day when there are crowds of people around, and then have to go through the trouble of NGs again and again.

This evening.

A wedding is about to take place in the village.

The art director and the lighting technician began to set up the scene, the photographer Zhang Jiwu was adjusting the equipment, and the stagehands were telling the newcomers and some young men and women from the village who came to act as extras what to do during the next filming.

In the temporary dressing room.

Zhao Xue looked at Jiang Qinqin, who was dressed in Yi ethnic costume. Her face without any makeup truly lived up to the saying that a lotus blooms in clear water, naturally without any embellishment!

Beautiful, really beautiful.

Zhao Xue felt more and more satisfied with her future daughter-in-law.

Because there was only a small handheld mirror, Jiang Qinqin couldn't see her whole body, so she quickly asked, "Godmother, how is it?"

Zhao Xue gave a thumbs up and praised, "Beautiful! Our Qinqin's outfit is so beautiful."

"Thank you, godmother. I feel good too."

Although she couldn't see the whole body, Jiang Qinqin felt that this Yi costume was so beautiful and it should look good on her.

This is the Yi ethnic minority's wedding attire that was borrowed by the village party secretary.

The embroidered jacket with a large collar and right lapel is mainly red with black as the secondary color. There are many white cloud-like patterns on the clothes. The lower body is a long skirt. For adults, it has three sections. The upper section is the waist, the middle section is straight barrel-shaped, and the lower section is a fine grid pattern. The characteristic of the long skirt is the layers of wrinkles in the lower section, so it is commonly known as a "pleated skirt". The more pleats, the more expensive it is.

"Jiang Qinqin, Jiang Qinqin, come out and prepare for filming!"

There were shouts from the crew outside.

"I'm coming!"

Jiang Qinqin hurriedly said to Zhao Xue: "Godmother, help me put on the headdress."

The headdresses of the Yi people's daily wear are mostly made of cloth, folded into a hat shape and worn on the head.

But Jiang Qinqin's outfit is what Yi women wear when they get married, so it is naturally different. The silver ornaments are wrapped on the hat, forming a funnel-shaped headdress that is narrow at the bottom and wide at the top, which is very similar to the silver ornaments of the Miao people.

"Qinqin, walk slower, this headdress weighs several kilograms."

Seeing Jiang Qinqin putting on the silver-decorated hat and walking out, Zhao Xue hurriedly followed behind her to prevent the girl from losing control of the hat and letting it fall off.

"It's okay, godmother. This weight is nothing. I wore heavier ones when I was in school."

Jiang Qinqin smiled. She was a martial arts actress and her roles included Fan Lihua and Mu Guiying.

This type of female role has to wear a heavy "crown" on the head.

As a result, Peking Opera actors' heads can bear much more weight than ordinary people.

"That's true."

When Zhao Xue heard this, she also smiled. The Peking Opera crown is not much lighter than this silver ornament, and some are even heavier.

"Director Xiao Li, everything is ready. The bonfire has been set up, and the extras are all here. We can start anytime."

A groundskeeper came running over to report.

This scene is a big one and also the most expensive scene in the movie, costing a total of 3000 yuan.

2000 yuan was for food and drink for the villagers, and another 1000 yuan was for some props that were custom-made by someone in the factory, such as red umbrellas, red lanterns, etc. Li Jian originally thought that this was unnecessary, after all, the core purpose of this film is the relationship between father and son, and the village itself was also very supportive, with people from every household helping to act as extras.

The newlywed couple also found a musical instrument band to play their Yi music, and young people from nearby villages performed their Yi dances. It was enough to film this scene well, and it was still authentic.

But Li Yishu insisted on doing so.

It's not for a 1:1 restoration, but to make it easier to sell it when registering for film festivals in the future.

Although it has been more than ten years since the reform and opening up, the foreign impression of China is still stuck in the past, or in Chinatowns around the world.

After Zhang Yimou won the Berlin Golden Bear Award for his film Red Sorghum, red became foreigners’ first impression of China.

Later, Zhang Yimou's "Ju Dou" also used bright red as the main color.

Therefore, it is necessary to add a red tone to "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog". At the same time, this simple national characteristic can also bring a different viewing experience to the audience.

"Has Jiang Qinqin arrived?"

Li Yishu asked the stage manager beside her.

"I notified them. Look, they are coming over there."

The groundskeeper suddenly pointed to the right.

Li Yishu turned her head and saw Jiang Qinqin walking slowly from a distance. The silver ornaments on her head were swaying slightly, and her long skirt was dragging on the ground, raising dust as she walked.

"Brother Yishu, how do you think I look like?"

Jiang Qinqin walked quickly over, came in front of Li Yishu, and turned around with a smile.

sunset.

The afterglow shone on Jiang Qinqin's unpainted face.
A pair of dark eyebrows like willow leaves, curled, thick and slender black eyelashes opened and closed, eyes as black and white as autumn water, as black as agate, shining brightly; high nose bridge, small nose wings, unpainted but rose-red lips, small cheeks were slightly nodding, looking at himself shyly.

The face of the person and the peach blossoms complement each other red!
Li Yishu's heart was beating fast.

She was much more beautiful than the little stars he had met before his rebirth. Although those internet celebrities had pretty faces, they did not make people feel moved at all.

No wonder even Qiong Yao, who had worked with so many beauties, couldn't help but admire the beauty of Jiang Qinqin after seeing her young appearance.

Li Yishu took a deep breath and nodded, "Very beautiful!"

"Hee hee~"

Jiang Qinqin's lovely big eyes suddenly smiled, like a crescent moon in the sky.

Qiong Yao once commented on Jiang Qinqin: gentle as water, with charming aura.

However, in Li Yishu's opinion, eight more words should be added: the lotus is in full bloom, and the face is like peach blossoms.

These sixteen words can perfectly describe Jiang Qinqin's beauty and agility.

A blazing bonfire started.

Young men and women came forward one after another, gathered around the campfire, holding hands, dancing briskly, and singing moving folk songs.

The son of the rural postman took the hand of the Yi girl, and the two followed the pace of everyone, walking and dancing.

When the camera moved forward, the two looked into each other's eyes.

In the light of the fire, the Yi girl stared at her son with a smile on her face and affection in her eyes.

Thump thump thump——

At this moment, his heart was beating vigorously.

not far away.

Zhao Xue, who was standing in the corner, saw this scene and started humming in a good mood.
