At noon the next day, Zhong Yunqing and the other actors who played the Eighth Route Army took the crew's car and drove into a slope. Looking through the car window, he always felt that this place looked familiar.
This is not to say that he traveled here in his previous life, but that he has watched the show Liangjian so many times that many scenes are already familiar to him.
"Here we are, this is the location for today's shooting. Everyone, hurry up and change your clothes. The shooting will start in an hour."
Director Zhang, who was sitting in the passenger seat with the car, turned around and said to the big guy as soon as the car stopped.
As soon as the actors went up the hillside, they saw Director Li directing a team of workers to dig trenches and build fortifications.
Not to mention, in order to save money, several directors of the film crew were also busy and personally participated in the excavation of trenches. Director Li was still wearing dirty model worker gloves, and he probably had to move sandbags just now.
Seeing this scene, Zhong Yunqing remembered what this familiar picture was! Isn't this the ring fortification of the Yamazaki Brigade!
Last night, he announced that the first scene to be shot today was a war scene. He did not expect that the first scene he participated in would be such a famous scene!
At this time, the fortifications used for filming were almost completed. According to the configuration of the warring parties, a few trenches were dug and some sandbags were piled up to serve as machine gun fire points.
After a while, the actors are in place, the weapons are set up, and filming can begin.
The group was about to change their costumes when they saw director Zhang Qian standing on the side of the fortification, instructing the staff to set up filming positions.
This was the first time Zhong Yunqing came to the set and saw the chief director.
Director Zhang turned around and saw them, then walked out of the camera and shouted to everyone:
"Don't change your clothes yet. Come with a few people and go down to help move things."
Zhong Yunqing looked in the direction of his finger. A Dongfeng truck was parked about fifty meters below the slope. There was a ditch blocking it.
Come on, the director is digging the trenches himself. What's so pretentious about a supporting role like yours? Just move it.
"The car can't come up, please help move the things on it." Director Zhang thought they didn't hear clearly, so he came over and said it again.
"Well, okay."
As soon as I agreed, five or six of the crew came out and walked down together.
Zhong Yunqing and the actor who played Zhang Dabiao climbed onto the truck and saw, "Hey guys, this is like moving an arsenal!"
This is really not an exaggeration! In the truck compartment now, wherever Zhong Yunqing sees it, there are "munitions"!
At the outermost periphery are three Japanese-style heavy machine guns with tripods, and there are also several Czech and Japanese crooked guns stacked next to them.
In the middle are bundles of "rifles". It looks like there are several types, such as Sanba Dagai and Hanyang-made ones. By visual inspection, there should be seventy or eighty of them.
Finally, in the corner, he even saw the "big killer", three decomposed mortars!
If he hadn't known that Liang Jian was a regular crew member, Zhong Yunqing would have wanted to run away just because of these guys!
"Director Li, these guns and cannons look like real ones!"
Zhong Yunqing said something to Director Li who had just climbed up. Then he patted the barrel of the heavy machine gun. There was a unique sound of steel.
Then I walked inside and grabbed a bundle of rifles to try. It was quite difficult to carry them!
"Well, these guns used to be real! Now the barrels have been clamped and the bolts have been removed. They are just useless fire sticks."
Hearing what he said, Zhong Yunqing looked into the muzzle of the heavy machine gun. Indeed, about two centimeters into the muzzle, there was a thin iron bar stuck in the pipe. The same was true for the mortar in the corner.
It's just a cannon barrel without any firing device inside.
Director Li raised a crooked stick and handed it to the staff below, and then said to Zhong Yunqing:
"Okay, stop looking at it. If there's anything good about scrap metal, move it as quickly as possible. In this damn weather, finish filming as soon as possible and go back to warm your bed!"
There is strength in numbers, so the crew of more than a dozen boys moved together and the move was completed in just a few trips.
Afterwards, the group performers received rifles, and professional staff began to set up heavy machine guns and mortars under the command of military directors.
Zhong Yunqing and the others were not sent to do any other work. They went to a tent to change their costumes. Because the supporting characters were going to appear on camera, the military uniforms were customized according to their height and weight, and they fit perfectly.
After changing his clothes, this guy looked at himself in the mirror wearing the uniform of the Eighth Route Army and felt that it was quite memorable.
Then he took out the digital camera borrowed from Yue Peng from the backpack he carried with him and asked others to take some photos for him.
Then, the director called for five minutes to prepare.
The scene recorder is written and shooting begins.
…………
It was already seven o'clock in the evening when we finished work and returned to the hotel. After taking a shower, Zhong Yunqing hurriedly coded.
Now his coding efficiency is much higher than when he first started, and he can code a chapter of the book in about two hours. He finished coding the first chapter around 9:30, and felt a little tired, so he lay down and rested for a while before continuing to code.
He is coding diligently.
Liu Sisi was also in the hotel room at this moment, holding her notebook and reading a novel.
It must be mentioned that since the "reading" skill was unlocked by Zhong Yunqing, a popular author, she now likes to read various types of novels when she is bored.
It's just that at this time in 2004, the novels were basically Shenma Sword and Magic, Shenma Domineering President, Shenma Youth Campus and the like.
And there is a saying that in the novels of this period, basically as long as the male author was a harem, the male protagonist would always have dozens of confidantes around him!
Female authors are not necessarily any better! Basically, all of them are racing wildly in their books (such as Bai Jie).
You must know that the review of online articles during this period was very loose, and the descriptions of various driving scenes were meticulous!
So Sisi got tired of reading these unserious books! After all, I still feel that only the books written by Zhong Yunqing are the most serious!
It's a pity that this guy is serious, but writing two chapters a day is too torturous and not productive at all! It makes her feel like "I hate iron but cannot make steel"!
That's right! Thinking of Zhong Yunqing, I don't know how he was doing today's filming. The two of them chatted for a while last night, and he said that he would be filming his first scene today.
So the girl clicked on QQ, thought for a while and sent a message:
"Are you there?"
Zhong Yunqing was inspired and was writing furiously when a QQ message interrupted his thoughts.
Once the train of thought is interrupted, it takes a while before he can think of it again, so he looked at the source of the sound a little irritably.
As soon as he saw Sisi's profile picture flashing, the guy's unhappiness instantly disappeared.
Enter the page and reply to this girl:
"Yeah! Yes, I'm typing words."
"Didn't you say you were going to film today? How was the filming?"
Looking at the text, I imagined how this girl would say these words. Zhong Yunqing replied in a good mood:
"It's pretty good. There was no pressure during today's shooting. I took all the shots once." At the end of the sentence, he added a arrogant little expression.
Of course, the girl didn't believe this. She had already done the scene she was filming seven or eight times today. To judge others by herself, she didn't believe that someone could do it over and over again for the first time! Humph╯^╰
!(Referring to the supporting role)
So he replied:
"Anyway, I wasn't there to watch, so you can brag as you wish!"
Well, Zhong Yunqing realized that he couldn't talk to this girl about acting skills. She didn't have the talent in this area. No matter how much she said, she couldn't understand.
But Sisi is actually right. Strictly speaking, Zhong Yunqing is indeed bragging.
Because the monk didn't have much of a role today. I stopped Li Yunlong to prevent him from fighting with the bayonet, then fought for "heads" with the cavalry company commander, and finally held a machine gun and shouted a few times... These were all very short scenes.
The girl didn't delve too deeply into this. After a while, she turned into a curious baby and sent another message:
"By the way, is it fun to make war movies? Can those guns on TV really shoot bullets?"
"It's not fun, but it's tiring!"
Then I gave her a good science knowledge about props and firearms in war dramas.
Sisi originally thought that the guns in war movies were real, but fired blank ammunition. After seeing his explanation, it turned out to be exactly what happened.
Then when talking about this, Zhong Yunqing thought of the photos he took today. Then he thought about it and sent another message:
"Do you want to see me in uniform?"
"Did you take the photo? Let's take a look."
After seeing her reply, Zhong Yunqing sent her a photo in which he thought he was the most handsome.
In this photo, although Zhong Yunqing is mediocre in appearance, he has a straight posture and a well-fitting military uniform, which makes him look quite manly.
Just when she was looking at the photos in trance, new news from Zhong Yunqing arrived:
"How is it? Isn't it handsome?"
"Well, handsome..."
Do you think this girl will end like this? Then she sent another sentence:
"Cricket's cricket."
"Shuai Xi is also handsome, they all mean the same thing." This guy responded shamelessly.
Sisi looked at the photos he had sent her, and it was okay to be disrespectful. She thought about it, and selected a photo taken today from her photo album and sent it to him.
Zhong Yunqing looked at Sisi's photo. She was seventeen years old and still had baby fat. She was at her best age! Her pretty face has the feeling of "first love face" that is often said in later generations.
But one thing I still have to say is that this girl is beautiful, but she is really not suitable for filming modern dramas. She will be "dead" once she is filmed.
All of her impressive roles are in costume.
Although "Moon Shadow Wind Lotus" is set in the Republic of China, the addition of suits and dresses makes it not much different from modern dramas.
Another thing is that her eyes have no charm at all!
In later generations, she was able to break out in the Eight-Five Flowers simply because her appearance in costume dramas was so good that it could well cover up the shortcomings of her dull eyes.
In modern dramas, the appearance cannot be reflected, and the flaws in acting and eyes are infinitely magnified.
