I'm a Director, I'm Not Bad Chapter 432

  Chapter 432 430. Big difference

   March 17th.

   Yuan'an County.

  Xu Xin, Zhang Mo, Wang Lei, art director Liu Yichuan Liu Lao of "The Black Cannon Incident", costume Zhang Li, prop Ning Daming. The crew formed by Zhong Ling, the model of "Yellow Earth", Tian Geng, the costumer, and Ma Huiwu, the art director of "Scented Soul Girl", have been in Yuan'an County for a day.

  The people who are traveling with you also include the apprentices brought out by the leaders of the older generation in the Fuhuadao industry, as well as the apprentices of the apprentices...

  Just an art director team, including consultants and staff, add up to nearly thirty people.

   This is not counting the decoration team next to it.

  If you count the construction team in the decoration team who came to adjust the details according to the crew this time, there may be more than 70 people in the service department alone.

   This also broke a new high for the number of Xu Xin controlling the crew.

how to say…

  These people are too professional, no matter what slogans such as "resolutely support", or what the garbage bins of that era looked like, whether there were telephone poles, etc., Xu Xin didn't need to say at all.

  As soon as he arrived here, he naturally found out the problem.

   Except for state-owned facilities such as telephone poles that cannot be changed, and may have to be repaired through the camera at that time, all the scenes of the filming locations provided by Yuan'an County have undergone earth-shaking changes in the past half month.

  The other side of the clear traffic light is a street that is not very modern, but it can also be called a street that keeps pace with the times. However, after passing the traffic light, the factory area of ​​Yuan'an old 1023 factory made Xu Xin feel in a trance that he had really crossed.

  Maybe it's because I've watched too much “Scary Step by Step” in the past two days, and it feels really strange for him to walk on this hardened surface.

   But... professional people do professional things.

   During the morning, except for some very small flaws, other details have basically been accepted.

   It fully satisfies all the sense of time in the era that Xu Xin wants to restore.

  The arrival of the crew also attracted the attention of many spectators.

   But most of them came for Zhang Yimou.

   But this time the old man was not there.

  He went to Nanjing to work on "Thirteen Hairpins".

  Although "Three Shots" got a box office of 240 million, its reputation was a mess. Coupled with the letter from Takakura Ken... the old man's seriousness about "Thirteen Hairpins" has broken through to a whole new level.

  He needs to use this movie to get back his lost reputation.

  Therefore, we have been paying attention to the training level of those trained amateur actors and children since the beginning of the new year, so as to achieve the most authentic restoration.

  In addition, he also knows the strength of Xu Xin's team, so he didn't come here this time.

  The weather in Yuan'an in mid-March is not warm enough.

  But since all the people have come, the things that should be carried out must be carried out one by one.

  In the morning, a group of veterans pointed out some deficiencies and flaws, and in the afternoon the engineering team took the time to renovate.

  It's all superficial work, and it only takes a day or two to deal with it.

   But it doesn't mean that it will be left alone after it is dealt with. The old man is also talking with the leaders of Yuan'an County.

   He was even talking with the villagers of Qinglong Village.

   After filming, whether these buildings should be restored or not.

  The architectural restoration of Qinglong Village is relatively simple. Because the local style is slightly backward, the crew put all the reconstruction of the entire village on the exterior. Some slogans adapted to the times, the old facade is not well renovated.

  If it is restored, it can be painted directly.

   Except for the two families who built a two-story building, and the production team had to re-paste the tiles on the facade of the family, the others did not waste much effort.

  The difficulty in Yuan'an County is that whether it is the 1023 factory area transformed into a school by the crew, or the entire street, even some filming locations have been properly restored with the approval of the county party committee.

Here I have to praise the art and morality of these seniors who are old-fashioned. When they remodeled the facade, they all adopted the hanging net technology. Demolition, and the layer that fits the building is basically made of natural materials, some even use yellow mud mixed with straw and hanging nets, and first make a protective layer for the wall...

  This technique was taught by these seniors, and many places in Qinglong Village and Yuan'an County came here.

   But it really taught some young service props masters a lot of experience.

   And the old man is now talking with the county about whether the sets in Qinglong Village and Yuan'an County should be demolished after the movie is over.

  Yuan'an County hopes to make use of the old man's name and Xu Xin's extra head to turn this city, which not only has rich historical and cultural heritage, but also has an important strategic position in modern times, into a tourist area.

  Yuan'an has started to build a hawthorn industrial park in the early years.

  Through tourism, promote the economic development of the county.

  So they are very supportive of the location selection for "The Hawthorn Tree".

  However, due to the particularity of Yuanan, even if the land of these old factories is abandoned, it is still a state-owned resource.

  After the crew has been remodeled, logically speaking, it must be restored.

   Of course, there are crews or some directors who don't care about these things.

  I am used to the days when people are superior to others, so the so-called scenery, whether it is a scenic spot or a nature reserve, is just the background under their lens.

  Choose a location, build what you need, and leave after shooting.

  Whether it will damage the scenic spot or not? These finishing work will not be noticed at all.

  To be honest, Xu Xin didn't pay much attention to these things at first.

   Or there is no concept.

  In "Secret", his exterior scenes were all shot at Wanwan, and there was no change, they were all captured by the original scene. After the filming, everyone cleaned up the leftover garbage and left.

  The location of "The Sound of the Wind" was shot directly in Hengdian. Although scenes were filmed in several cities including Lushun, there was no major renovation. Not to mention after returning to the factory... There are so many good things in the factory, and the foundation is also solid. Let alone remodeling, you don't feel bad even if you take it down and set it on fire.

   It is also the first time for him to shoot a movie that directly transforms a street like this.

  When I heard the old man say "We have to restore all this after the filming", although I was not surprised, I was still a little surprised.

  After all, this demolition work should be done more delicately.

  Although it is inappropriate to mention money, it is true that the project budget for demolition work is not much less than that for construction.

   Very expensive.

  He understands the truth, but he didn't expect the old man to be so serious.

   As for how realistic it is?

  When I came to Yuan'an last time, I held a meeting with the main persons in charge of the crew, and raised a few points in this regard, which is the kind that must be resolutely implemented.

   Number one, don't touch the crops.

  According to the words of the old man:

   "This is not to say that you trampled on the seedlings and malt, and you pay others money. These crops are the fruits of the fellow villagers who turned their heads to the loess and turned their backs to the sky. We must respect the fruits of other people's labor!"

  Second, whether it is because of the shooting or the framing, the door of the fellow's house, or a section of the wall, etc., must be restored after the framing is over. When we encounter things, we can adjust ourselves and give priority to adjusting ourselves.

"Everyone remember, you must not develop this habit of indifference. What do you think you are making movies for? You go to other people's homes and use other people's places to shoot things. Try to interfere as little as possible, and don't do these things with great fanfare. We are here to make movies, we are guests, we cannot be bad guests.”

  Third, at the end of the day's shooting, the things from the villagers' homes, the mud under their feet, and the concrete yards of other people's homes were dirty, etc… all had to be cleaned in place.

   "We came clean and left cleanly. In the future, people won't point at our spines and scold us..."

  These are the key points of the old man's meeting, and under Xu Xin's nod, they are already the military orders of the crew.

  Military orders are like mountains.

   And after that meeting, the old man told him something.

   Did not name the person, just told him:

"When you shoot this kind of scene in the future, you have to pay attention. Don't be like some people who went to Jiuzhaigou to shoot scenes and built a big shed in a national key nature reserve. They were rough when they were built, and a lot of places were destroyed. , you don't disassemble it after the filming is over, just throw tens of thousands of dollars and let others do it by themselves...

   Those thousands of years of natural beauty, because you destroy it yourself... then it's not about money. You become the sinner of those latecomers who have not seen the most authentic appearance of these beauties. "

  When he said this passage, he not only cited the example of Jiuzhaigou, but also cited the examples of Yuanmingyuan and Shangri-La...

  Xu Xin was a little confused.

   I don't know which great directors are able to do such things as destroying the historical sites of the Old Summer Palace, Jiuzhaigou, and the natural environment of Shangri-La...

   It can't be so rough, can it?

   When asked who did it, the old man waved his hand:

"You don't care who made it, just be yourself. We are directors. The audience finds the beauty through our screens and lenses. He is interested. When we watch it by ourselves, we must also ensure that What he saw was the same as what we captured. Otherwise, if people watch it together, your movie screens are so good-looking, and the result is a pile of rotten wood and **** at the scene...Why can't people scold you?"

   These are the old man's original words.

  After returning to Yanjing, Xu Xin told Yang Mi about it.

  Yanjing Little Gossip directly mentioned the names of these directors.

   Obviously, she knows these things too.

  The movie that destroyed Shangri-La and the Old Summer Palace was "The Promise".

  The TV series that ruined Jiuzhaigou is called "The Legend of Condor Heroes"...Yang Mi herself starred in that version.

  But Jiuzhaigou doesn't have her role, and her plays are all in Hengdian.

   After hearing this, Xu Xin said "good guy" while silently taking the things taught by these old men as his own commandments, and kept them all in his heart.

  In the current "Hawthorn Tree", the old man and the local leaders also talked about this issue.

  Remove, absolutely no problem.

  The project budget is all placed here. What the place was like when we came, can be restored to what it was when we left.

Definitely.

  But now Yuan'an County does not want to demolish it.

  They want to turn these places into tourist attractions.

  Maybe there is no charge, but at least it can make Yuanan more attractive.

   Wish to keep.

  But what the old man meant was that it could not be preserved, because the engineering treatment during the renovation was for the film service.

  Not to mention anything else, let's talk about the modification of the hanging nets on the outer walls, which will take at most one year. Because of the wind, rain and environmental erosion, the outer walls must fall down in pieces.

   Not to mention the potential safety hazard, it will also become ugly.

   And what everyone is discussing now is how to solve these things.

   I don't want to demolish it, but I want to keep the filming location to attract tourists.

   But it can't be kept for long, and if it is remodeled, it will cost a lot of money. The most important thing is how to hire these "art consultants" to help restore...

   You see, film preparation is such a hassle.

  In all aspects, internal and external must be perfect.

  The kind of story where a few people can save hundreds of millions or billions of movie box office with a camera on their shoulders... Maybe there are in reality, but 99% of them can only exist in novels.

  Because novels don't need so many details.

  But the fundamental reason why a real movie can be called the "seventh art" lies in the details that the audience cannot see.

   But fortunately... Xu Xin doesn't understand these things, but the old man understands.

  As the producer, he took over and took over.

  Xu Xin only needs to shoot according to his own movie rhythm.

   In the afternoon, when the engineering team was rushing to renovate, Wang Lei's seat had already been set up.

  Put on a military overcoat that I don't know where to find, and Lin Xunxin, who was shivering from the cold, was waiting for Xu Xin's signal.

  As soon as the signal started, he took off his coat and deliberately made the neckline old and yellowed, but the overall look was a snow-white white shirt, a blue hurdle vest, blue khaki pants, and liberation shoes.

  In the average weather of 9 to 17 degrees in March in Yuan'an, he dressed in summer followed Xu Xin's instructions and started walking along this dirt road.

   Walked two laps and stepped on a large number of bicycles.

   There is a little girl named Xu Chunchun in the costume design, who is about the same height and build as Liu Yifei.

At this moment, the strong man was caught, sitting on the bicycle beam with a sore buttocks, holding back a smile, blushing, wearing a down jacket, let "No Brother" take her up and down this road for several laps .

   All of these were captured by Wang Lei's camera.

  Look at Fu Huadao and the actor's matching, what kind of texture is presented in the video.

   Then use real shots to set the makeup.

  Everything is sitting and preparing for the smooth start of filming.

  But Liu Yifei didn't show up.

  She was also born in Hubei, and her hometown is in Liangzihu, Jiangxia District, Wuhan. I could have arrived this morning, but the car broke down halfway.

  I am currently repairing cars in the service area of ​​Yingcheng Expressway.

  After returning to her hometown before the Spring Festival, she cut off all "modern" things.

  Silently let the rural life smoke away the fairy spirit in me, and replace it with a kind of fireworks.

   But Xun's time was so long that after she and Wu Qiqi agreed to go, neither of them thought that their cars were in Wuhan.

   When I remembered, it was already this morning.

   I had no choice but to drive here in the van of a relative in the village.

   As a result, the old Wuling lost the three people including the driver halfway.

  Xu Xin thought it was outrageous when he heard about it.

  Is this something that a "human" can do?

  Forget about Liu Yifei.

  Qiqi, have you forgotten your home in the past few months?

   But being speechless is speechless, but he didn't urge them. Instead, he told the two of them not to worry, and put safety first.

   There is no need for someone to transfer a driver and car from Wuhan.

  He also wanted to see what kind of change in Liu Yifei's temperament who came from Wuling.

  So this afternoon's brother is destined to treat Xu Chunchun as Jingqiu.

  Continuous walking, different adjustments for different shots.

  After eating at noon, I was busy until 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

  Finally, a Wuling van with E-A on it arrived suddenly...

  Then, Xu Xin saw a girl who jumped out of the car wearing a pair of ordinary sneakers, baggy pants, a single braid, and the red down jacket that had been criticized many times by netizens and fans.

  Simple and clean.

  The smoldering atmosphere of the past few months, and deliberately not taking care of the skin, but presenting a kind of...with a bit of firewood smoked, against the backdrop of a healthy complexion of winter labor...

  Jingqiu, who knows how to do farm work, folds envelopes for his mother, gets the eligibility to stay in school for good performance, and does rough work such as pulling mud and bricks with a thin body during the summer vacation... just appeared in front of him.

   His eyes widened completely.

  Not only him, but even Zhang Mo, Wang Lei, and everyone in the crew, seeing Liu Yifei, who is no longer immortal, but more and more innocent, their eyes straightened.

  Change...so big!

  It's so big that you don't believe it's something Liu Yifei can do!

  But after Xu Xin was shocked, he was replaced by a kind of satisfaction from the bottom of his heart.

   "EMMM... Mmm!"

  He nodded vigorously:

   "Good, very good! That's right...this tastes right."

  Liu Yifei, who had actively isolated himself from the world for several months, heard his words, and gradually broke away from the slightly uncomfortable trance.

   In the past few months, she has really forgotten her identity.

  So instinctively, she felt a little uncomfortable for these people's attention.

  But when I heard the approval from the director, under the cover of several months of hard work, the original goal "I want to be a down-to-earth actor" was awakened again!

   It quickly turned into a flame of joy, and she grinned unconsciously, revealing that gingival smile that was flawed but seemed more and more real:

   "Hey hey hey..."

  Hearing this laughter, Xu Xin no longer needed any response from her.

   "Haha~"

  He also laughed heartily, and then said to the people around:

   "Let's go, go to the factory and find our Jingqiu's seat."

  I didn't have too many pleasantries with Liu Yifei, I was afraid that one more word would destroy this simplicity and innocence.

   After he finished speaking, he left directly.

  The production crew walked to the factory in a mighty way.

   As for how much Liu Yifei has changed...

  As soon as the crew left, someone among the crowd watching the excitement said:

   "The girl who came down from the Changhe just now...why does she look so much like Liu Yifei?"

   "That's not Changhe, it's Wuling. What about Moss, can't you see such a big car logo?"

   "You have good eyes, aren't you? Then that girl is Liu Yifei."

   "This...doesn't seem to be the case. How can Liu Yifei be so stupid..."

  Is it soil?

maybe.

   But with Xu Xin, she is her best Jingqiu!

   When we arrived at the factory area, it was nearly dusk.

  The makeup artist is about to apply makeup to her.

   But Xu Xin stopped it.

   After thinking about it, he said:

   "Don't put on makeup, let's look at it without makeup... Field manager, get her a hoe!"

  No makeup?

  As soon as Xu Xin said this, many people thought he was crazy.

   Liu Yifei's face can be slapped again, but... this is a movie, my director Xu!

  You actually have an elemental face?

   Even Wang Lei was puzzled:

   "That facial shadow..."

   "Shadows can be adjusted through camera position and light... Let's take a look at the state of bare makeup first. How about it?"

   What he said next was to Liu Yifei.

  Looking at the strange environment around her, Liu Yifei, whose thoughts seemed to have gone astray again, did not have any opinion after hearing this:

   "Anything is fine."

   Soon, a young man came over with a hoe.

  Before Xu Xin spoke, she said:

   "Is it the part where Jingqiu helped the school repair the playground and tried to stay in school with good performance?"

Hey.

  Little Tu Niu is quite familiar with the script.

  Xu Xin nodded:

   "Yes. You can play freely in this scene... Hurry up, it will be dark in a while."

  Hearing this, Liu Yifei nodded, took a **** and walked to the hard soil road where the bricks had been removed and the road roller had been rolled over.

  Standing in the open space, surrounded by dozens of people.

  She was in a trance.

  But he was quickly pulled back by the staff with straw hats and shirts.

  Take off the down jacket, put on a white shirt that is a bit too big, and put the straw hat on her head.

  Glanced at Xu Xin who was already standing in front of Wang Lei's camera.

  She took a deep breath...

   "Phew... can we start?"

  Xu Xin didn't speak, but leaned closer to the small screen of Alai's camera, looking at the face of the girl in the straw hat.

  Arri's camera function needless to say.

  As a leading subsidiary of cameras, its advantages of cameras are countless.

  In the high-fidelity picture, both the advantages and disadvantages can be infinitely magnified.

But…

  But...

   outrageous...

  He looked at the static close-up on the screen, and couldn't help but said to Wang Lei:

   "Director Wang... how do you feel?"

  Wang Lei was silent while adjusting the focus.

   After he changed another layer of light to record, he sighed:

   "It's so natural...it's like this without makeup, but with makeup...how beautiful is it?"

   This remark received the approval of everyone around him.

  Even Zhang Mo couldn't help feeling jealous.

   They are all raised by mothers and fathers...why?

  Why did you grow up like this?

  However, when Xu Xin moved his eyes from the screen to the faces of the people around him, and saw their expressions, he understood...

  They didn't seem to understand why she was their Jingqiu.

  So directly said:

   "If she is more beautiful, she will not be Jingqiu."

   These words made everyone look at Xu Xin.

   Director Xu's words...

What's the meaning?

   And Xu Xin lowered his head again, looked at the girl in the camera, and said unhurriedly:

"The beauty of Sanliwan is definitely not as beautiful as the Yangtze River. Its beauty should be small, but it is graceful enough. It is so beautiful that everyone can remember only Jingqiu's face. And if you only look at Jingqiu's face , must have lost some flavor. So... I think her current state is just right."

  After speaking, he suddenly showed a thoughtful expression.

   After thinking for a while, he shouted:

   "Change her shirt for a smaller size. This one is too big."

  Hearing this, another shirt was soon brought to Liu Yifei.

   In front of everyone, the girl wearing a slim-fitting thin cashmere sweater changed generously.

   And as soon as she put on this small shirt, her bust line came out instantly.

   "Very well, you don't need to change your pants... let's get started."

  Following Xu Xin's words, Liu Yifei nodded.

   After weighing the **** in his hand, he held it up quickly and raised his chest.

  The **** is not dropped, but thrown!

   This is the technique taught to her by the aunt in the village.

  He raised his chest, bowed his waist, and then fell down in an instant!

   "Boom!"

   People who have been plowing the land all year round can't find fault with the way of exerting force, which makes the **** sink directly into the hard soil of the playground.

  Under mechanical transmission...

  Including Lin Gou and Zhang Mo, everyone looked at the turbulent waves that were looming under the shirt one size smaller...

  In the past, you didn't know what Three Mile Bay was.

  Can now...

  Xu Xin, who looked away from the screen, looked at the compatriots' eyes... Needless to say but everyone understands, grinned, and smiled silently.

Ha ha.

   Now, looking at the big guy who fell into silence, he especially wanted to ask:

   Do you understand?

   I just got home and have to go to the hospital. The child has a high fever and is covered in a blanket. I'm not sure if the shift will be interrupted these days. Let me tell you in advance and slip away.

   Thank you leader Yingzhi for your reward, and I will lead 6 more.
