Early the next morning, Li Qing and others flew to Sichuan City, the capital of Ning Province.
Han Han did not follow him. After spending the night with Li Qingwen, he returned to the mainland to prepare for the final exam of the first semester of graduate school.
After Li Qing and others arrived in Ning Province, their throats were parched due to the dryness in the air.
There was already a vehicle sent by the crew of "Westward Journey" waiting in the airport lobby. After everyone got on the bus, the vehicle drove towards a drier place.
Yinshan Town is about thirty kilometers away from Sichuan City. After only two hours, the car arrived at its destination.
Along the way, Li Qing looked out the car window and saw yellow sand flying in the sky. This made Li Qing couldn't help but pick up the kettle and drink more water.
Such a move is completely subconscious. Because of the air quality, even pure water in Yinshan Town is a few cents more expensive than in other provinces and cities.
Outside the suburbs of Yinshan Town, it can be said to be inaccessible because apart from the yellow sand, there is basically no background as far as the eye can see.
However, because there are two ancient castle ruins nearby and they are relatively well preserved, the place looks full of antique flavor.
When the crew of "Westward Journey" decided to shoot here, Huayun Film and Television invested in the construction here, trying to retain the historical characteristics of the castle and adding some foils to make the castle original strange, majestic and desolate.
, the tragic, dilapidated, decayed but undefeated scene is even more profound and desolate.
When director Liu Weilin set foot on this land, the first words he uttered laid the foundation for the popularity of this place that will become a famous movie studio in the future: "This is a place where all film artists can
A place to let their imagination and creativity run free!”
Li Qing also knew that as long as "Westward Journey" is successfully released, this barren and inaccessible land will instantly become a famous scenic spot where crowds of people flock to.
This was something that had happened in his previous life, and Li Qing firmly believed it.
When the car stopped in front of an old castle, Li Qing saw Cui Zhiye, Liu Weilin, Bao Yunyun and a large group of people waiting in front of the old castle before getting off the car.
When Li Qing got off the bus, everyone applauded.
Li Qing was a little flattered. Although he was the protagonist of this movie, it was too grand, and it felt like a leader's inspection.
"Welcome to Silverwood Town to experience the sufferings of the world."
Bao Yunyun said with a smile.
Li Qing glanced at Bao Yunyun and was startled by the dark circles under Bao Yunyun's eyes. He immediately looked at Cui Zhiye, Hua Rong and others and found that everyone looked like this.
Oops, what is this?
"It's my first time coming to the northwest. The temperature difference between day and night is huge, so everyone is a little acclimated to it." Liu Weilin said with a smile, "It's good to get used to it. We are all veteran filmmakers. How can we be so pretentious just to make a movie."
When Li Qing heard this, he immediately nodded with deep sympathy.
If you want to make a good movie, how can you do it without overcoming conventional difficulties?
Do all good works appear out of thin air?
Which film is not the result of the joint efforts of the filmmakers and their blood and tears?
However, although domestic actors work very hard and even risk their lives to shoot a movie, in the end due to various reasons, the box office has never been able to keep up, and many people are rushing to the street.
It can be said that these are not the best times for filmmakers.
In the previous life, the best era was when there were a lot of bad movies, the actors' acting skills were terrible, but one face alone could support the box office of a movie.
But it is precisely because the times are so beautiful that some filmmakers do not care about the environment and just make bad movies to fool the audience.
If this situation continues, over time, when the audience's patience is exhausted, the market may fall into a quagmire again.
Li Qing understands this truth, and many filmmakers who support the rise of Chinese films also understand and firmly believe that China will catch up with the United States and become the world's largest box office market, generating a total box office of tens of billions of dollars every year.
However, in order to form a huge market, the market must be cultivated.
Otherwise, everything will be aborted.
Li Qing's arrival officially brings together the cast and crew of "Westward Journey".
Liu Weilin was very happy.
He originally thought that Li Qing would have to wait at least a few days before he could come, but he didn't expect that he had already arrived in just two days, which made him regret holding the power-on worship ceremony in advance.
Without the opening ceremony of the starring actors, it always feels less auspicious.
After two days of preparation and location construction, today will also be the filming time for the first scene of "Westward Journey".
The actor's dressing room is in a temporary tent. Because it is already midsummer, and the air in Ning Province is dry, the staff on the shooting scene are sweating even if they move around a few times, let alone those who need to
Actors wearing heavy costumes.
Li Qing had never seen Bao Yunyun blush, but now, this carefree woman, even though she was sitting in a huge green tent where she could enjoy the cool air, her cheeks were flushed because of the stuffy air, and her makeup was gone.
It needs to be repainted every once in a while.
Of course, Li Qing did not laugh at Bao Yunyun's capital. Looking back at his layers of props and costumes and his sticky beard, Li Qing subconsciously licked his slightly dry lips, his throat was hard.
It moved a bit.
At this time, someone tapped him on the shoulder.
When Li Qing turned around, he saw a huge pig head looking at him.
He was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said: "Sister Huarong, what about it?"
"What's wrong?" Huarong blinked.
Judging from the appearance, her perfect figure and charming beauty have completely disappeared, completely transformed into a huge pig head and pig skin belly. Perhaps only her smart eyes are left, and she can still see the beautiful face.
A hint of spirit...
"The filming hasn't started yet!" Li Qing reminded.
"Get used to it in advance and you won't go wrong."
After Hua Rong finished speaking, she patted Li Qing's arm again and pointed to the props and clothes on the ground: "Wear them, for the movie."
For the movie?
When Li Qing heard this, he picked up the props and costumes without hesitation and went to the changing room.
The clothes were specially made of supreme treasures, made of cotton and linen, which were relatively breathable. After changing into clothes, Li Qing squeezed the rope around his waist with a frown and walked out of the changing room.
Then he suddenly realized that something was wrong. When he looked up, he was startled by the crowd of more than ten people in front of him: "What are you doing?"
The leader, Liu Weilin, looked Li Qing up and down, frowning, as if he was thinking about something. When he heard Li Qing's question, he turned around and asked, "Where's the makeup artist?"
"Here we come!" Yu Zhenzhen, Li Qing's royal makeup artist, shouted loudly and hurriedly stepped forward.
"Find a way to make this kid look ugly."
After saying this, Liu Weilin waved his sleeves and left.
Yu Zhenzhen looked stunned.
At this moment, Cui Zhiye was wearing a white T-shirt, beach pants, and sandals. He was fanning his cattail leaf fan and looking at Li Qing with gloating: "Why do you think you are so handsome? I am so jealous."
Hua Rong, Bao Yunyun and others all burst out laughing.
What can I do? I am also desperate!
Li Qing smiled bitterly, looked at the hesitant Yu Zhenzhen, and sighed resignedly: "Come on!"
Yu Zhenzhen covered her mouth with a smile, waited for Li Qing to sit in front of the dressing table, then opened the dressing box and began to perform unparalleled magic on Li Qing's face.
