Chapter 93
When having breakfast the next morning, Qian Youli saw Wu Long. He remembered what Wu Long said last night about writing the song in one night, and joked:
"Wu Long, has the song been written?"
"Director Qian, the song has been written. How about I sing it to you after breakfast?"
In fact, Qian Youli, like everyone else, didn't think Wu Long could write the song so quickly.
Wu Long's answer was beyond everyone's expectations.
Everyone present had the same expression when they heard Wu Long write it down.
ah?
So fast?
real or fake?
Qian Youli still responded quickly.
"Haha, just write it down. We will enjoy it together later."
Everyone also expressed their admiration.
After breakfast, Wu Long took out his native pipa and started playing and singing for everyone.
The unique, rustic sound of the tupipa, which is high-pitched and vigorous, seems to represent the bravery and victory of the Railway Heroes.
"The sun in the west is about to set,
It was quiet on Weishan Lake.
Play my beloved Tu Pipa,
Sing that moving song."
The pace quickens and the battle begins.
"Climb aboard the fast train,
Like riding a galloping horse.
at stations and railway lines,
It is a good battlefield for us to kill the enemy.
The guy we beat up on the car has a machine gun,
The one that hit the train and blew up the bridge..."
With fast and powerful strumming, the song enters a climax. With the following lyrics, it makes people excited!
"Like a steel knife thrust into the enemy's chest,
The Japanese were beaten until they were frightened."
The melody returns to its original soothing beauty, and after repeating it, comes to the final ending.
"The sun is going to set in the west,
The devil's doom is coming.
Play my beloved Tu Pipa,
Sing that moving song."
Qian Youli was the first to applaud: "Okay!"
Others also clapped and applauded. The lead actor, Wu Tai, was reluctant and could only join in the applause.
"It's well written! Every word fits the theme, and every sentence describes the story."
“What a great song!”
"This song is decided, it's just you who sings it!"
Qian Youli made the decision on the spot.
Wu Long thought, of course this song is good. It is said that it was sung in the streets and alleys back then. A classic old song is a classic. It has lyricism and passion, a perfect combination of movement and stillness, softness and hardness.
Well, this is the evaluation in the system description when Wu Long redeemed this song. This evaluation was not given by the system, but was evaluated by people of the era when this song was written.
After Qian Youli's bargaining, the song was finally sold to the "Legend of Railway Heroes" for 10,000 yuan, and Wu Long sang it for free.
It's just that the usage rights are not low for TV drama songs. If it is expensive, Qian Youli will not buy it. No matter how good the song is, if it exceeds the budget, he will not buy it.
The crew was stationed in a house on the mountain side of the filming base. During this period, all the scenes were shot in the mountains. After shooting in the morning, the main scene was shot in the afternoon.
In this scene, when the team escapes, they need to climb a cliff more than four meters high.
The original plan is to put one person on the ladder, the person behind him steps on the ladder, and the person above him pulls him up. When the last person is left, he jumps up, and the person above him holds his hand and pulls him up.
These actions are not performed by group actors, nor are they performed by actors, but by martial arts. We only need to film how to get up the cliff, and then film Liu Hong, who is responsible for breaking the cover at the end, climbing up the cliff.
There are so many people in the team, it is impossible to take pictures of them all going up the cliff one by one. The intermediate process is omitted, and the team just stands on the cliff to show that everyone has climbed up the cliff.
The first person to go up has the most difficult time. They use the ladder with two people at the bottom. Then the person standing on the shoulders jumps up and grabs the top of the cliff to climb up.
I tried several times and changed places, but I couldn't do it in martial arts. Because jumping on the shoulders and jumping on the ground are two different things. The top of the cliff is not a roof, and the mud will be loose and difficult to peel off.
Wu Zhi could only discuss it with Qian Youli and edit it later. When shooting, he jumped up on a ladder. This is one shot. From the other side to the top of the cliff, holding on to the cliff, with half of his body outside the cliff is the next shot. Two.
The shots are connected to form a plot of going up a cliff.
Wu Long heard it from the side and couldn't help but said: "How about you let me try?"
"You?" Qian Youli thought that Wu Long was known as the Kung Fu King, maybe it would work.
The lead actor Wu Tai said with some dissatisfaction: "What's the difference between you jumping on our shoulders and us jumping on our own? Our people are afraid of hurting the brothers below when we take off."
Wu Long smiled and said: "There is no need to take a ladder, I can go up by myself."
Not all martial arts can do parkour. In Sun Jian's team, Luo Chang is the only one who is good at parkour. Although Luo Chang is a martial arts practitioner, he likes to practice light kung fu, and later he also started to practice parkour.
"Don't try too hard. If this was a wall, you could parkour up it, no problem. I know there are parkour masters who can climb up a four-meter wall. But this is a cliff, and the soil on top is loose. If you don't do it right, you'll fall down.
If it was a wall, we would have gone there in the morning."
Qian Youli knew what Wu Xing said made sense. He knew about the scene in the rooftop chase scene in "Drunk Catcher" where he stepped on a wall. But that wall was not as high as here, and the top of the wall was solid and fixed, while the top of the cliff was
Mud, not fixed.
"Safety is important, otherwise we will take two shots." Qian Youli was worried that Wu Long would be injured.
"Director Qian, trust me."
After saying that, Wu Long ran directly towards the cliff. While running, he kept running at a high speed and calculated the distance. When he reached the edge of the cliff, he suddenly took off.
Everyone watched Wu Long running over. Suddenly, as if they heard a "hoo" sound, Wu Long jumped up about two meters high, and stepped vertically up the cliff with his feet.
step!
Two steps!
Three steps!
Each step was half a meter, and he actually reached three and a half meters. Seeing that Wu Long was about to fall back, he grabbed the top of the cliff with both hands, rolled his body forward, and climbed up the cliff.
Wu Long stood up and looked at the Spartans below.
"Director Qian, let me tell you, no problem."
"Director Qian, Director Qian?"
Qian Youli was awakened by Wu Long from the chaos in the wind, nodded and said:
"Okay, just do as you say."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Long jumped out of the cliff and fell to the ground with a whoosh.
At this moment, someone exclaimed "Ah".
Wu Long rolled forward on the ground to relieve his strength, stood up and walked in front of everyone.
"Should we try it again, or should we start filming?"
The lead actor Wu Ti lowered his head with a complicated expression. What can he do if he doesn't accept it? He can only adjust his mentality.
Wu Long's kung fu is not fake. At least this parkour kung fu is not fake.
Qian Youli said: "Just shoot."
The plot was changed to a situation where the tiger sitting on the mountain climbs up the cliff first, and then pulls everyone up. This change has no impact on the plot. Liu Hong wants to break off, cover his comrades and retreat first, and he goes up last.
Since Wu Long can go up directly by himself, the shot can be a long shot without editing.
The team came running from a distance, looking back from time to time.
Seeing a cliff blocking the road ahead, a team member shouted: "Captain, there is a cliff ahead and there is no road. What should I do?"
The team slowed down and Sishanhu roared.
"I'll go up first, you guys use the ladder, and I'll pull you up."
After saying that, Zuoshanhu ran out of the team and ran straight to the cliff.
He ran to the cliff, kept speeding, and jumped suddenly. This time, he jumped two meters high, stepped on the cliff three steps in a row, and stepped directly up the cliff.
He turned over and climbed to the top of the cliff, then turned around handsomely and lay down with a clean movement. Sishanhu stretched out his hand and said to his comrades below:
Chapter completed!
