Standing alone in the yellow sand is the Longmen Inn. There are four large trucks and three buses parked around the Longmen Inn. There is also a road paved with stones in the distance. This stone road is not easy to pave. The staff use
Yellow straw was first laid on the sand, and then large rocks were pressed on the straw, and then the sand was spread so that the cars that picked up the actors and the food could move in and out smoothly.
"Director Wu, how are you? Are you satisfied here?" Feng Tongtong stood in front of Wu Jianye asking for credit.
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "Satisfied, always satisfied!"
The crew will be filming here for more than two months. After the filming is completed, they will move to the ancient city of Jiayuguan and Yanjing to shoot other scenes.
Seeing Wu Jianye officially joining the cast, the crew finally breathed a sigh of relief and finally met the director. After arriving here, everyone has not stopped. First, Cheng Xiaodong led everyone to familiarize themselves with the environment here, and then
Training for action scenes is carried out in such an environment.
The rolling yellow sand looks desolate and beautiful when viewed on the movie screen, but when the real actors come here, they realize how miserable it is here.
If a temporary rest area had not been set up here, everyone would have collapsed from exhaustion.
Even so, men like Li Lianjie and Liang Jiahui couldn't help crying out bitterly at this time, let alone actresses like He Qing and Zhang Manyu.
In the evening of that day, when everyone returned to Jiayuguan Ancient City, Wu Jianye generously invited the chef from the Jiayuguan Ancient City Guest House to cook local delicacies for everyone in order to reward everyone for their hard work over the past month.
Don't think that chefs in guest houses are not allowed to work on the stage. The real good chefs of this era all stay in places like this.
While eating, Wu Jianye held a glass of wine and thanked everyone for their hard work during this period, but at the same time, he also said that the filming will officially start next. He hopes that everyone can cooperate sincerely in the past two months and put aside the so-called "Hong Kong".
, the concept of the mainland, if someone dares to seek privileges here, Wu Jianye also said that he will let everyone know what the consequences will be!
At this time, both the mainland actors and the actors in Xiangjiang were nodding their heads. Everyone knew Wu Jianye's influence and strength, so naturally they didn't dare to do anything special in his crew.
But there are always some people who don’t understand the situation!
Wu Jianye doesn't expect everyone to be of the same mind. As long as he doesn't give himself any trouble when filming, if someone really dares to hit the gun, Wu Jianye doesn't mind letting them know.
Why is it so red!
After dinner, everyone returned to their rooms.
On the second day, everyone got up on time, waiting for the crew's bus to pick them up and go to the filming location. Wu Jianye had just announced the crew's regulations yesterday. At this time, no one would really hit the gun.
Only when the shooting officially gets on track will some problems arise due to inertia.
"Director Wu, I am Li Shanghao from "Popular Films". I am here specifically to interview the crew of "New Dragon Inn"!" A gentle boy with a camera and glasses spoke to Wu excitedly.
Jian Ye said.
"Oh, hello, I have to trouble you to endure hardships with our crew during this time!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.
Although Tsui Hark's version of "New Dragon Inn" was also shot in China and was released in China at the same time, there was no publicity at all on the eve of the film's release in China. At that time, Wu Siyuan paid for a number of movies from Shanghai Film Studio. People go to the movies to help promote...
However, at this time, the film was directed by Wu Jianye, so the treatment was naturally different. As the most popular director in the country, Wu Jianye's every move can be said to affect everyone's hearts, and "Popular Film" is for Showing that they attach great importance to the film, they even sent reporters from their own magazine to follow the filming and collect materials.
"Director Wu, you are so polite. I have watched every one of your movies. I am a loyal fan of yours. When the agency wanted to send someone over, I worked hard to get this opportunity. !" Li Shanghao said excitedly.
"Haha, thank you then. I hope you will like the "New Dragon Inn" filmed this time!" Wu Jianye laughed.
"Yes!" Li Shanghao nodded heavily.
.......
At the "New Dragon Inn" crew camp, more than 200 staff members gathered together, but they were completely different from each other!
Although they borrowed a lot of stuntmen from Shichahai Sports School, they were not very familiar with Wu Zhi's work, so when the crew came to the Gobi Desert, Cheng Xiaodong also brought his team over, although not many , but there are also more than 20 people.
This is actually some of Wu Jianye’s selfish motives!
Even thirty years later, the top martial arts directors in the domestic film industry are still those from the older generation in Xiangjiang. There is no domestic martial arts director who can truly stand alone.
This is not to say that there are no real martial arts masters in China. If we look at the real combat power, the domestic martial arts talents can definitely crush all the martial arts instructors in Xiangjiang.
But when it comes to integrating action into movies and capturing the beauty of the movie, domestic talents are really good at it.
Before rebirth, fantasy IP adaptations were very popular, but look at that scene...
It's really eye-catching. During the group play, a group of people use swords to play tricks on children. During the opponent play, they only know how to make a sword trick, and there is nothing else.
A good TV series was ruined by action scenes...
If possible, consciously cultivating domestic martial arts instructors now will not only find a way out for these martial arts practitioners, but also provide more behind-the-scenes talents for future domestic martial arts movies and action movies.
The best of both worlds!
As for the actors in the crew, they are not so distinct. For example, He Qing, who plays Mo Yan, and Zhang Manyu, who plays the role of Jin Xiangyu. After several months of getting along, the two girls have become harmonious. One is gentle and quiet, and the other is laughing and joking. , there is no barrier, which is a bit strange.
Next to them was a girl in her mid-twenties, who was playing the role of the eldest daughter among a pair of sons and daughters of the Minister of War.
As for this girl, everyone is very familiar with her. She is none other than Xu Cainv, one of the first generation of four little beauties in the Chinese entertainment industry.
It was actually a coincidence to find Xu Cainv. At this time, Xu Cainv had no idea of studying acting. Under the guidance of her parents, she studied calligraphy. Her parents were also ordinary workers. However, with the development of domestic reform and opening up, her parents left their jobs. I opened a neon light factory with my friends.
Li Xiuming's advertising company was looking for a partner in a neon light factory, and finally reached a cooperation with the neon light factory where Xu Cainv's father worked. When Wu Jianye went to inspect with Li Xiuming, he saw Xu Cainv helping his father on the light box.
Wu Jianye, who was writing and recognized Xu Cainu at a glance, proposed to invite Xu Cainu to come and film "New Dragon Inn".
Xu Cainv's father had no objection to this.
Liang Jiahui and Li Lianjie lowered their heads and chatted about something. It was probably Li Lianjie asking Liang Jiahui about some things in Xiangjiang.
Liu Xun was among the martial arts masters, and then there were Wu Bo, Zhang Hanyu, Zhao Xun and other classmates.
Several cameras were covered with red cloth.
Wu Jianye still did not adopt the opening ceremony of Xiangjiang, but placed various tributes and prayed to gods and Buddhas.
In Xiangjiang, the team brought by Cheng Xiaodong stood around outside and watched the situation inside.
"This is the first time I have seen a power-on ceremony without even tributes!" A martial artist curled his lips and said.
"Never mind them, just give them money, but the heroine is really beautiful and a good matchmaker." Someone looked at where He Qing was standing and said.
At this time, He Qing has already put on the costume of Mo Yan in "New Dragon Inn". After these few months of training, he has gained a bit of sassiness.
"Hey, do you think this guy has ever been with Director Wu..."
"Be honest, don't want to mess around anymore. Don't you know who Director Wu is?" A leader glanced at them and said dissatisfied.
When Wu Jianye was angry and insisted on winning the Academy Award, it shocked the entire Hong Kong entertainment industry at the time. Even martial artists like them had heard about it for a long time, and even talked about it during the crew's break.
Thinking of Wu Jianye's domineering attitude, this group of people instantly became much more honest.
Wu Jianye was holding a loudspeaker and standing in the middle of the crowd.
"First of all, thank you all for being able to come to the crew of "New Dragon Inn". Some friends have even joined the cast two or three months in advance. I want to thank everyone for their professionalism, but at the same time, I will also tell you that this choice will definitely not
Let everyone down.”
"Starting today, "New Dragon Gate Inn" will officially start shooting. The movie "New Dragon Gate Inn" is a martial arts film. I believe everyone has already experienced the hard work involved, but what I want to tell you is that the following
Shooting will be even harder..."
When Wu Jianye came up, he told everyone that this would be a hard-working shoot. This was not to dampen everyone's enthusiasm, but to make everyone prepare in advance, in order to worry that some people would not be able to cope with it, which would lead to injuries.
Case.
"...In the next two months, everyone will live together and work together for the movie "New Dragon Inn". The crew is like a cocktail party, in the middle of the night.
At this time, some people will tolerate humiliation, and others will be stubborn. Just give each other a small step, and patience will become calm, and stubbornness will become elegance."
"Although everyone comes from different places, in this crew, there is only one identity, and that is the crew member of "New Dragon Inn". If I know that someone is in the crew, specializing, or appearing in something that shouldn't be there,
I will make you regret it in the future!"
Finally, Wu Jianye looked around at everyone!
Some people are expressionless, some are smiling, and some are laughing and joking...
Wu Jianye collected them all in his eyes one by one.
"This movie is expected to be shot here for two months. I hope that during these two months, everyone can focus on the movie. Since you are here, you must also respect the customs here."
After speaking, Wu Jianye put the speaker aside.
Zhao Fei looked at Wu Jianye standing there and pointed out the situation, and sighed. At this time, Wu Jianye's majesty in the crew was becoming more and more powerful. He had accompanied Wu Jianye all the way.
From the beginning of "Raise the Red Lantern" to "The Last Emperor" and now "New Dragon Gate Inn", Wu Jianye has been making progress.
At this time, as long as Wu Jianye stood there, he would be the focus of the entire crew.
"Papa, what are you doing standing still? Get ready to turn on the phone!"
Everyone suddenly understood and quickly performed their duties.
This is how "New Dragon Inn" starts...
Lee Sang-ho of "Popular Film" magazine took a camera to take pictures of the situation here.
