Chapter 392: Determine the shooting location (4100+ chapters~)
Wu Jianye and others stayed at Zhenbeibao for two days, preparing to leave for their next destination, Jiayuguan!
"Old Wu, see you in Yanjing!"
Zhang Yimou and others stood in front of the car to see Wu Jianye and others off.
"See you in Yanjing!" Wu Jianye smiled and patted Zhang Yimou's shoulder, then said goodbye to Gu Changwei, Jiang Xi and others, and then the group drove away.
When they reached the national highway, Feng Pengtong asked curiously: "Teacher Wu, how do you feel about this place?"
Wu Jianye shook his head in disappointment and said, "It's not very good. It doesn't feel like I imagined. Let's talk about it when we get to Jiayuguan!"
Zhao Fei said with some confusion: "No, I think it looks pretty good!"
Wu Jianye explained: "The environment here is pretty good, and there is a village nearby, but it is this environment that makes me feel a little unsatisfied."
"Longmen Inn should be the only one among thousands of miles of yellow sand. If there is a village like this around, the artistic conception will change!"
Zhao Fei shook his head: "Isn't this a bit too harsh? There are villages nearby. If we don't take pictures, who will know!"
Wu Jianye said seriously: "I know!"
Zhao Fei: "Okay, you are the director and you have the final say. I hope the Jiayuguan side can have the feeling you want!"
This trip to Jiayuguan did not encounter any problems like the previous trip to Phoenix City. Everyone rested for a while and then rushed all the way to Jiayuguan.
When we arrived at Jiayuguan, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.
Ten people arrived at the hotel. At this time, the front desk of the hotel was already preparing to go to bed. Thinking of the big hotels in later generations, they only just opened at nine o'clock. The development of the times and the annihilation of human nature...
When the front desk saw that there were so many of them, they didn't say anything. They opened five rooms. What are the conditions? Don't expect too much. It's good to be able to sleep.
Everyone did not go out to find food, but took a bite of the snacks they brought in the car and went to sleep!
The journey on the second day was similar to that in Phoenix City. Wu Jianye arrived at the Jiayuguan City Hall with a letter of introduction. The city hall also welcomed the arrival of Wu Jianye and others.
"I wonder where Director Wu wants to start?" Sun Peng asked with a smile. Sun Peng was the tour guide arranged by the Jiayuguan City Government for Wu Jianye and others.
"Let's go to Jiayuguan Ancient City first!" Wu Jianye said.
There is a scene in the play where Cao Shaoqin comes out of seclusion. The gate of the ancient city of Jiayuguan must be borrowed. Wu Jianye naturally wanted to go and see it.
Seeing Sun Peng's somewhat embarrassed expression, Wu Jianye asked: "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"
Sun Peng smiled awkwardly: "No, no, everyone, come with me."
However, when he came to the ancient city of Jiayuguan, Wu Jianye still discovered a problem. The place was too dilapidated and could not be compared with the ancient city of Jiayuguan in his imagination!
In fact, what Wu Jianye didn't know was that the ancient city of Jiayuguan would not be renovated until 1991, and the majestic West Gate that everyone saw in later generations was actually the ancient city of Jiayuguan after renovation.
In fact, it was not only Wu Jianye who discovered the problem, but also Zhao Fei and Feng Pants.
"Old Wu, this city gate is a bit dilapidated!"
Wu Jianye nodded and said, "Let's take a look first!"
After spending a day wandering around the ancient city of Jiayuguan, Wu Jianye asked Sun Peng about the situation here in detail.
At night, Zhao Fei and Feng Pengtong were sitting in Wu Jianye's room.
"Teacher Wu, if you shoot here, you will definitely have to help renovate this place. In this case, the investment will definitely increase." Feng Pengteng said seriously.
Wu Jianye nodded and said, "Let's write it down first, and then we'll make a decision after everything is inspected!"
The next day, everyone went to the Gobi Desert again.
The Gobi Desert is only half an hour's drive from the world-famous Mogao Grottoes and two hours' drive from the famous Crescent Mountain. The scenic Mingsha Mountain is also nearby.
When everyone came here, they looked at the deserted area and rolling yellow sand for several kilometers, and couldn't help but marvel at the scenery here.
"Old Wu, there's no... bah bah bah!" Before Zhao Fei could finish his words, a gust of wind and sand blew past, blowing a lot of sand into his mouth.
Wu Jianye covered his mouth with his hands and looked at the scenery here, feeling inexplicably excited. This was the place he wanted.
The boundless yellow sand, the setting sun, a knight riding a camel came here in the afterglow of the setting sun...
However, if you want to put the filming location here, there will be countless troubles. For example, Wu Jianye likes the desolate feeling. It is precisely because it is so desolate that the crew will have problems with food, clothing, housing and transportation here. At the same time,
Building a Longmen Inn here would also be a very troublesome matter.
Maybe a gravel road will be built to connect Jiayuguan and here.
Everyone walked on the Gobi Desert for a long time. Wu Jianye was looking for a suitable place to build the Longmen Inn, while Zhao Fei was taking photos against the yellow sand all over the world. Feng Tongtong was muttering about what he would encounter if he was shooting here.
difficulties and how to solve them.
At this time, the Gobi Desert was like a furnace, and soon everyone was sweating.
"Mr. Wu, if we really shoot here, we must have doctors and nurses in place. The environment here is too harsh. In addition, we are a martial arts drama with so many action scenes. If you are not careful, actors can easily be injured."
, this kind of thing can be big or small."
Feng Pants suggested.
Wu Jianye nodded: "This suggestion is necessary. No matter where the filming is, the safety of the actors must be taken into consideration."
Li Lianjie was moved when he was listening and said: "Thank you, Director Wu!"
Wu Jianye smiled and said, "That's polite. You are filming my movie, so I am naturally responsible for your safety!"
Is acting a high-risk industry?
If calculated by Cheng Long's standards, it must be a high-risk industry.
But if we look at the filming standards of the little fresh meat and little flowers in the future generations, the actor industry shouldn’t be too easy!
Of course, some people say that as an actor in this industry, you have to endure great pressure, and it is also a high-pressure industry psychologically.
Which other industries are not subject to such psychological pressure?
If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight!
It's hypocritical to earn a sky-high salary but still claim that you are under too much pressure!
Everyone stayed until the sunset before setting off to go back.
Back at the hotel, Zhao Fei asked Wu Jianye what he thought of this place.
"We have to go and see it again tomorrow before we can decide!" Wu Jianye said solemnly.
There are some places that Wu Jianye feels he still hasn’t seen, so he will go and take a closer look tomorrow.
Zhao Fei muttered: "If we go again tomorrow, we have to buy some masks first. The wind and sand there are too strong. If you don't wear a mask, you will be filled with sand in your mouth after a while."
Wu Jianye nodded and said, "Write this down too. If you really want to shoot here, these things must be prepared!"
On the next day, Wu Jianye and others went to the Gobi Desert again. In fact, it was not just the second day. Wu Jianye and others stayed here for four or five days, including some specific matters with Jiayuguan City.
Negotiations, which are completely unavailable in Phoenix City.
On the way back, there was less singing and laughter than when they came, and more serious discussions. Wu Jianye, Zhao Fei, and Feng Pengtong seriously discussed the advantages and disadvantages of the two places.
When passing by Phoenix City, Wu Jianye and the others took another look at Lao Mouzi and the others, and gave them some warmth before officially embarking on their journey back to Yanjing.
After returning to Yanjing, Wu Jianye went home directly.
"Don't touch me, let me take a bath first. I haven't had time to take a bath outside during this period, and the wind and sand have made my body dirty!" Wu Jianye said to Zhu Xie who was a little excited after seeing him.
The due date was getting closer and closer, and Wu Jianye didn't want the dirt on his body to touch Zhu Xian.
After taking a shower and changing into clean clothes, Wu Jianye walked out.
Zhu Xian now walks around for more than half an hour every day, but spends most of his time sitting or lying down, and his belly is already bulging.
"Have you chosen a place?" Zhu Xian sat down on the wicker chair and asked curiously.
"It's almost decided, in the Gobi Desert in Jiayuguan!" Wu Jianye said. On the way here, Wu Jianye finally decided to use the Gobi Desert as the shooting location.
Zhu Xian said with some worry: "I heard that the environment somewhere is very bad?"
Wu Jianye smiled: "It's okay, the shooting time is only about three months, just be patient and it will pass!"
"Then when will you go there?" Zhu Xian asked reluctantly.
"We have to wait, the West Gate of Jiayuguan needs to be renovated, and then where Jiayuguan leads to the Gobi Desert, a simple gravel road has to be paved for cars to pass, and the Dragon Gate Inn has to be built, and the actors have not been selected yet.
It will probably be after October!" Wu Jianye explained.
Hearing this, Zhu Xian showed a hint of joy. She had already given birth at that time, which meant that Wu Jianye could spend some time with her.
However, she still asked with some worry: "There are so many things over there, don't you need to go and keep an eye on them?"
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "No need, Feng Pants will pass in two days, he can just keep an eye on everything over there!"
"Is he okay?" Zhu Xian asked.
"Don't worry, didn't I tell you, Feng Pengtong is not a simple person." Wu Jianye smiled.
As Wu Jianye said, Feng Pengtang immediately felt a sense of pride after hearing that Wu Jianye had handed over all the preparatory work for "New Longmen Inn" to him in the Gobi Desert.
Because the West Gate of Jiayuguan was to be renovated, an additional US$200,000 was added to the original investment. It was with this US$200,000 that the Jiayuguan City Government took more care of the crew of "New Longmen Inn"
.
When Feng Pants returns to Jiayuguan this time, he will be carrying a huge asset of 200,000 US dollars. This kind of trust makes Feng Pants very proud.
After staying with Zhu Xian at home for two days, Wu Jianye went to see Mr. Wang again.
"Why do you have time to come here today? I heard that you are not busy with your new play?" Wang Lanxi asked curiously after seeing Wu Jianye.
"Hey, don't I have something to ask you for?" Wu Jianye smiled and put the local specialties he brought back from Jiayuguan on the table.
When Mr. Wang saw that they were just some simple local products, he smiled and said, "What's the matter?"
"The local cavalry will be used during the filming of this movie, so I would like to ask you to contact me. You also know that we have no relationship in this regard!" Wu Jianye did not beat around the bush with Mr. Wang, but said directly
He had his own intention.
When many people watch "New Dragon Inn", they focus more on the leading actors. Few people pay attention to the Dongchang cavalry led by Cao Shaoqin, but it is these cavalry who provided the basis for this movie.
It adds to the majestic momentum. If you can invite the cavalry of the army, you can definitely add many highlights to this movie.
Mr. Wang thought for a while and said: "Okay, I will contact you about this matter, but you can't let the people's soldiers work for you in vain!"
Wu Jianye said quickly: "Don't worry, our lovely people's soldiers must be treated according to the original standards of "The Last Emperor", and after the crew finishes filming, how about I donate two big trucks to us?"
The filming location of "New Dragon Inn" has been decided. The crew's daily food and drinking water must be transported from the city. This means that the crew must not only prepare ordinary buses, but also several large trucks for use when the time comes.
After that, it would be troublesome to drive back to Yanjing, so why not do it as a favor to the troops?
Mr. Wang nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Okay, I will remember this matter and I will give you news in a few days!"
"Hey, thank you, Mr. Wang!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.
After coming out of Mr. Wang's residence, Wu Jianye found Ye Daying without stopping.
At this time, Ye Daying was not idle either, he was preparing for his own "Breathe" crew.
"How's the wagon thing going?"
After seeing Ye Daying, Wu Jianye asked directly.
Ye Daying glanced at Wu Jianye helplessly, "Am I so unworthy of your trust? Don't worry, I will do it for you if I say it will be done for you. When will it be used, you can just ask me a week in advance!"
Wu Jianye patted Ye Daying on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Brother, I owe you a favor for this matter."
Ye Daying smiled and said: "You don't need to owe it, you can pay it back right away!"
Wu Jianye: "You are really direct, tell me what you have to say!"
Ye Daying chuckled: "Actually, it's not a big deal. After the filming of "Big Breath" is finished, just lend me your editing room!"
The editing room of Tangting Culture is now famous in studios across the country. Everyone knows that the editing room of Tangting Culture is now the place with the best machines in the country, including major studios.
Therefore, some films often borrowed the editing room of Tangting Culture. However, because there were so many people borrowing it, Wu Jianye agreed. After all, the editing room was limited. Borrowing this one instead of another one would not be a good idea.
good.
So now everyone knows that unless the relationship between Wu Jianye and Wu Jianye is particularly good, or the movie is invested by Tangting Culture, the editing room is possible for TV series.
As for whether Ye Daying wanted to use it, people had already helped Wu Jianye with the carriage, so how could he refuse Ye Daying.
