Chapter 90 The Hardships of Filming

After filming in Yandang Mountain for less than two months, the crew of "The Return of the Condor Heroes" moved to Xiangshan Film and Television City.

This is the first time since Li Boda started filming a TV series that he has to travel to so many places.

Even later on, they had to change locations several times, and then go to Taohua Island and Xinchang.

In the past, when Li Boda was filming many TV dramas, he would stay in one place and shoot a series from beginning to end in one go. Occasionally, he would need to change the shooting location, but at most he would only change it once or twice. However, the crew of "The Return of the Condor Heroes" needed to change the shooting location five times from beginning to end.

In mainland China, there are probably only a few people like Zhang Da Huzi in the TV drama crew who can do such a thing.

After all, there are limits on investment for general TV dramas. There is a fixed amount of money needed to shoot a drama. Although we cannot be too frugal, we will try to save as much as possible.

As for Zhang Da Huzi, there were so many people who wanted to invest in his crew, and they all rushed to give him money.

Therefore, Zhang Da Huzi's crew has abundant funds and can change the shooting location at will. They can even shoot a movie and build a film and television city in a very arrogant way.

The Condor Heroes Film and Television City, The Legend of the Condor Heroes Film and Television City, Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils Film and Television City, etc., these are all film and television cities led by Zhang Da Huzi, and jointly created by the crew investors and the local government. Although the majority of the money for the construction of these film and television cities was paid by the local government, it is clear how successful this big bearded man is.

However, although in these aspects, Zhang Da Huzi spends money lavishly.

However, when it comes to the actors' pay, Zhang Da Huzi tries to lower it as much as possible.

Just like Liu Yifei, her salary in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" was 20,000 yuan per episode, but when she joined the crew of "The Return of the Condor Heroes", it was reduced to 8,000 yuan per episode.

Of course, Li Boda is an exception. The pay of almost all the actors in the crew was severely suppressed. The pay given by the crew of "The Return of the Condor Heroes" was half of that outside, which was considered good. There were even pays that were two or three times lower.

The only exception was Li Boda. Li Boda's salary was increasing, although the money did not fall into Li Boda's hands in the end.

However, it is probably because Zhang Da Huzi always lowers the actors' pay when filming, and then invests more money in scenes, props, equipment, etc., so Zhang Da Huzi's TV series have always been able to crush other TV series in terms of quality, thus achieving such high ratings.

Therefore, a producer or director like Zhang Da Huzi is also good for ordinary audiences. At least apart from casting, other aspects of Zhang Da Huzi's TV series are really a guarantee of quality and a synonym for quality.

……

Li Boda changed into rough and tattered clothes, which made him look a bit like a beggar.

With a few gray marks on his face, he appeared as a beggar version of Yang Guo.

Of course, even with this outfit, Li Boda still looked like a firefly in the dark night when standing among the crowd, so bright and outstanding.

But this is what is needed when filming a TV series. Otherwise, Li Boda would really look like a beggar, inconspicuous in the crowd, and the audience would look at him for a long time but not be able to see him at all. That would be a disaster.

"Uncle Guo, I'm here!" Li Boda smiled, but there was still a bit of evil on his face.

"Guo'er? That's great!" Wang Luoyong, who played Guo Jing, looked at Li Boda with surprise.

"Cut! This one's passed, get ready for the next one!"

At this moment, Li Boda's assistant Xiaoyuan came over quickly with a cotton coat in her arms and put it on Li Boda.

The filming of The Return of the Condor Heroes started in October. Now it is winter and the weather is getting colder and colder. It can be said that the wind is biting.

However, this little bit of cold was nothing to Li Boda. Although he could not be said to be completely immune to cold or heat, at this time, Li Boda would not feel too cold even if he was wearing only a single layer of clothing.

Of course, in order not to appear so abrupt, Li Boda would put on the cotton coat given to him by his assistant Xiaoyuan as soon as he finished filming, wrapping himself tightly and looking particularly warm.

However, compared to Li Boda, Liu Yifei suffered more.

It is already winter, but I still have to wear a white dress with only two layers of gauze to film. After each filming, I am shivering with cold. Ginger sugar water, isatis root and the like have almost completely replaced the water I usually drink.

Even if the other actors were not wearing very thick clothes, they were able to stuff a few hot packs into their bodies to keep warm during filming.

The only one who can't do it is Liu Yifei, because her white dress is too thin. If you stick a few hot packs inside, it will be too obvious!

So, even though everyone else was eager to cover themselves with hot packs from head to toe, Liu Yifei could only watch helplessly and could not put on even one hot pack.

Every time Liu Yifei filmed, her face would turn blue from the cold. In the end, the makeup artist even had to put an extra layer of powder on her to make her face look less blue.

Of course, if it was just normal filming, there wouldn't be a big problem. But this guy Zhang Da Huzi always likes to use one prop when filming, and that is a hair dryer.

Start filming.

Li Boda took off his cotton coat and walked towards the camera.

Liu Yifei also took off her purple cotton jacket and shivered as she came to Li Boda's side. "When we shoot later, we should follow the rehearsal process and try to get it right in one take," Li Boda whispered to Liu Yifei.

Liu Yifei, who was still shivering, nodded quickly.

"Exon!"

When he heard the sound of hitting the board, Li Boda's expression changed, and his eyes were full of tenderness when he looked at Liu Yifei. Liu Yifei also looked into Li Boda's eyes. Looking at Li Boda's eyes full of tenderness, Liu Yifei's eyes also became softer.

"Quick, props, turn on the hair dryer!"

Five meters away from Li Boda and Liu Yifei, a large hair dryer with a diameter of more than one meter started to hum.

The wind from the hair dryer was extremely strong. Combined with the horrible weather, the cold wind was like a knife, trying to cut the flesh of Li Boda and Liu Yifei.

Li Boda was okay and could hold on in the face of this situation, but Liu Yifei's face turned a little pale, but she had to hold on, trying to ignore the ruthless cold wind.

However, Li Boda, who was standing very close to Liu Yifei, could feel that her body was trembling slightly.

At this time, Li Boda adjusted his body slightly so that his body could cover more of Liu Yifei's body, so that Liu Yifei would be less affected by the cold wind.

When Liu Yifei noticed this, she felt even more grateful to Li Boda.

In the cold wind, Li Boda and Liu Yifei began to dance with swords. The cold wind blew Li Boda's hair and Liu Yifei's clothes. The picture was so beautiful.

Only Li Boda and Liu Yifei were holding on.

When the scene was finished and the director's cut button sounded, Liu Xiaoli ran over quickly, wrapped Liu Yifei in a cotton coat, and then stuffed a cup of boiling ginger sugar water into Liu Yifei's hands.

When Liu Xiaoli saw Liu Yifei, her eyes were filled with heartache.

This filming was really hard for Liu Yifei.

Not only do we have to shoot for more than ten hours every day, but in such cold weather, we can only wear two layers of white gauze costumes, which have almost no thermal insulation effect. During the filming, there are even hair dryers, blowers and fans blowing on the side, which is almost life-threatening.

As a daughter slave, Liu Xiaoli even had the urge to ask Liu Yifei to quit the entertainment industry.

"Oh, next time I take a role, I have to take the temperature into consideration and pay attention to the character's clothing. It's too much." Liu Xiaoli kept muttering.

Liu Yifei grinned. Indeed, the role of Xiaolongnu was really too painful to film.

Before this, Liu Yifei had never suffered such severe punishment while filming.

However, Liu Yifei is also quite willful. After hearing what her mother said, she did not feel wronged. Instead, she smiled foolishly and even comforted Liu Xiaoli, which made Liu Xiaoli both relieved and distressed.

After shooting the cold ones, we started shooting the hot ones.

The next scene is where Yang Guo, played by Li Boda, rushes into the fire to rescue Guo Fu who is trapped inside.

These days, it’s not popular to use green screens or special effects.

The main focus is on truth!
The crew members started to get busy, preparing dozens of gas cans, several sacks of rags, barrels of gasoline, piles of firewood, etc. These were all props prepared for filming the fire, and they all needed to be burned.

In addition, various fire extinguishers have been prepared, and even fire trucks are on standby at all times.

When everything was ready, the fire was lit at the command.

Because of the dyes prepared in advance, the fire started quickly and kept burning more and more vigorously.

Chen Zihan, who had been prepared inside, was trembling with fear when she saw the blazing flames around her, even though she was standing in the fireproof circle. She was afraid that if she made a mistake, she would be killed.

Li Boda did not take any defensive measures, and his clothes were not specially modified to be flammable.

After the director called Elkeson and the script supervisor clapped the board, Li Boda rushed in directly.

While rushing in, Li Boda could also feel the flames trying to lick his body. With a thought, a layer of weak magic power just adhered to the surface of Li Boda's skin.

After the scene was finished, Li Boda's clothes were burned with several holes, but the skin underneath the clothes was intact.

But when the scene was finished and Li Boda rushed out from the flames, the people who had been prepared nearby immediately took out the fire extinguisher and sprayed Li Boda with it...
