Shen Ming saw He Xin yawning profusely and looking depressed, so he couldn't help but say something.
In fact, He Xin slept all the way on the plane from Chongqing to Kunming, but he really didn't have enough energy and couldn't help but doze off while sitting in the swaying car.
He stayed on the set for three days. He didn't get up until 3 o'clock in the morning every day. Usually his girlfriend would have gone to the set early by this time. Then he would have breakfast and lunch, and then go to the set to observe in the afternoon. Except for the first day, which might be because of his appearance.
, Gao Xixi specially finished work early and invited him to have a meal with the main creators of the crew. For the next two days, work basically didn't end until ten o'clock in the evening.
In contrast, he really admired his girlfriend. She was as fierce as a little leopard at night and still energetic during the day while filming. Moreover, during the three days he watched, his girlfriend made up most of the crying scenes.
As long as you have a professional background, crying scenes are basic skills. For example, in later performance variety shows such as "The Birth of the Drama Queen" and "The Drama Queen Please Take Your Place", actors often actually cry on stage.
Then you will be praised by all kinds of people about your acting skills, which is just to deceive the audience who don't know how to do it.
The difficulty is that because of the shooting location, like Cheng Hao, it is impossible to shoot smoothly, so the crying scenes are almost one after another. The crying scenes themselves are extremely energy-consuming. What is even more difficult is that the plots are different and require
Crying with different emotions every scene.
To be honest, it may be difficult for me to do this kind of greeting, but my girlfriend seems to be cheating. The tears are flowing like a faucet, and the mood changes are quite accurate.
He Xin was stunned when he saw it. While praising his girlfriend's acting skills, he deeply realized the true meaning of the saying "women are made of water".
Even though I shed half a pound of tears during the filming, I still sang "My love is like a tide..." like a knight at night.
It is more than 400 kilometers from Kunming to Dali Jianchuan, and the road conditions are much better than the provincial highway to Lushui, but it still takes nearly seven hours along the way.
However, He Xin woke up when the off-road vehicle arrived in Dali. After having lunch in Dali, he went north along the Erhai Lake. Plateau basins are dotted among the high mountains of the Western Yunnan Plateau. Jinhua Town, where Jianchuan County is located
It is one of them. There is also a plateau lake called Jianhu next to the county seat, and Jianchuan is named after it.
Jianchuan County is very small, but there are at least two decent hotels. The filming location is in Shaxi Town, about 30 kilometers south of the county, which is another plateau basin.
It is very close to Lijiang. In fact, there is another route that is to transfer from Kunming to Lijiang, and then take a car to go around a big mountain. The whole journey only takes about 100 kilometers. But because of the transfer, it may take longer
.
He Xin arrived at the hotel and happened to meet director Yu Feihong who was returning from work.
"It's so fast. I thought it would take two days for you to arrive." Teacher Yu seemed to be in a good mood and said with a cheerful face.
Although it was a one-week holiday before, since the scene in the ginkgo tree courtyard had to be re-set after the opening scenes were shot, it didn't matter that the producer specially called He Xinwan for two days.
At first, this guy was quite happy, at least he could stay with his girlfriend for a few more days. But he found that his waist couldn't stand it any longer, and overeating and drinking were really harmful to his body. So he returned early as planned.
Theater crew.
"That was the original plan. Now that I have time, I want to come over in advance to adapt to the environment and get to know the characters." He Xinguan said grandly.
Obviously Teacher Yu was very satisfied with his professional attitude. He smiled like a little girl and said, "That's hard work, Teacher He!"
…
Shaxi is an ancient town. It is said that the ancestors here had advanced bronze smelting technology very early and became one of the birthplaces of Yunnan bronze culture. After the Tang Dynasty, with the four major salt wells in western Yunnan being mined near Shaxi, tea became a
The market closest to these salt wells on the Ancient Tea Horse Road was Shaxi’s distribution center for salt on the Ancient Tea Horse Road from the Tang Dynasty to the Republic of China for more than 1,200 years.
Absolutely.
Driven by the bronze industry, salt industry and commercial transportation industry, Shaxi became an economically prosperous land transportation hub, which led to the prosperity and development of ethnic and religious culture in this area, creating the Shizhongshan Grottoes culture, Xingjiao Temple Tantra
Buddhist culture, ethnic commercial architectural culture of Sideng Sifang Street and other historical cultures.
Descendants of the Naxi people still live in Shaxi today. The ancient stage and Xingjiao Temple have also been repaired. However, modern transportation has changed the business approach of the Tea Horse Road, and the caravans have long since disappeared. Only the market every Friday is still there.
You can feel the bustle of the small village. Perhaps the people of Shaxi are tired of the hustle and bustle, and Shaxi has been quiet for more than half a century. The ancient architectural civilization and the life of the Naxi people have been preserved. Compared with Lijiang Dayan not far to the north
Town, Shaxi is indeed an undeveloped pure land.
When Yu Feihong came here for the first time, he fell in love with it at first sight. Every year on the third day of March, brother A Ming disguised himself as a merchant to go to the market and meet the brothel girls. Most of the indoor scenes will be filmed here.
The time to re-set the scene took longer than expected. These days, I have been filming Yao Lu's role as Brother A Ming. He Xin is completely free now.
This morning, Hexin came to the town as usual. Because filming requires a large number of extras, when you enter the town every day, you will find robes, mandarins, and long braids all over the streets, as if you have traveled through time.
It is the off-season for tourism, and few tourists visit. The extras are basically residents of the small town. He is too lazy to join in the fun, so he wanders around the town for a while, on the streets in all directions, at the entrances of the north and south alleys, and finally wanders into a house on Sideng Street.
teahouse.
This is not the first time he has visited here. The teahouse is small but very clean. The hostess is not a local. She claims to be from Chengdu. She accidentally came here when traveling a few years ago and was fascinated by the history here, the beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers, and
The comfortable life stopped him, so he opened a teahouse here and settled down.
As more and more tourists come here during the peak tourist season, she also said that she would wait until the second half of the year to open a B&B. Naturally, she knew He Xin and was very talkative. He Xin was also happy to sit in her teahouse for a while every day.
Chat with the hostess and the tea customers in the store about the beautiful scenery, the lifestyle of the Naxi people, the Mosuo people, and the tea culture...
The hostess is quite old, but she has never met her husband. The hostess has never taken the initiative to talk about this matter, and He Xin naturally does not deliberately inquire about other people's privacy.
At noon, He Xin and Shen Ming had lunch at an inn in Sanjia Lane. It was very cheap, four dishes and one soup, only fifty yuan. Business here is usually very light, but since the crew came here, it was almost full.
There are all inns and B&Bs in the town. Except for the director and the main actors who live in relatively good county hotels, most of the crew live in the town, which adds a bit of hustle and bustle to the place.
In the afternoon, he simply moved a few chairs and slept in the small courtyard for a while. The heat from the sun made him very comfortable. When he woke up, he went to the Heihui River at the east end of the town for a walk. Shaxi was really like a teahouse.
The hostess said it was so peaceful. If there hadn't been the noise of filming in the town from time to time, there might have been almost no other sounds except the quacking of the big white geese and ducks in the river.
He Xin suddenly felt that it would be a very enjoyable thing to film a movie here for a month or two.
After walking around for a long time, he felt completely calm, and then he walked towards a hillside in the south of the town. The terrain there was relatively high, and along the way, when he came with Teacher Yu for the first time, Teacher Yu actually still had a hand in his hand.
Holding a hiking pole.
After walking for about ten minutes, we came to a courtyard surrounded by an old blue-grey wall and paved with stone slabs, leading directly to the entrance of a double-story wooden building. The weeds on both sides of the road were neatly trimmed, and there was a stone table on the left.
The stone bench was blocked from the sun by a huge and lush ginkgo tree.
The entire courtyard is both deep and open, poetic and gloomy. A towering ancient ginkgo tree stands on the east side of the courtyard.
Because it grows naturally, or maybe due to the unique natural climate in the area, the branches of this ginkgo tree are very low. He Xin put his hands in the pockets of his down jacket and stood under the tree. His whole body was half-covered by the branches and leaves, and his legs were half-shielded.
He kept staring at the open window, imagining that there was a beautiful figure standing in front of the window. It was the person he had been dreaming about and waiting for for fifty years at night, and then with what kind of mentality should he slowly walk out from under the tree?
walk out.
He tried it again and again...
Finally he felt something. When he moved the branches and leaves again and slowly came out, he suddenly heard a burst of applause from beside him.
He frowned and turned his head in the direction of the applause with an unkind look. Because there were already many staff busy in the hospital, and when the actor was looking for feelings, the crew would not dare to disturb him, and would even
Slow down and use your hands gently for fear of affecting him.
Applause is obviously not allowed.
But what he saw was not an inexperienced staff member, but Yu Feihong and her assistant standing there. Teacher Yu was clapping her hands excitedly.
When she saw He Xin's dissatisfied look and sharp eyes, she realized something was wrong and quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Teacher He, I didn't mean to disturb you, but the scene you walked out just now was too disturbing.
The picture is amazing. If it were actually shot, I think this one would definitely pass.”
"Oh, it's okay, I'm just looking for a feeling."
As he said that, he looked around and sighed: "Teacher Yu, this place is really nice. I didn't feel anything like it last time I came with you, but now I feel more and more familiar here."
"I'm different from you. When I first saw the dilapidated appearance of this place, I thought it should be here."
Yu Feihong walked to the stone table, touched the smooth tabletop, and said with a smile: "It's fate, it's exactly the same as I imagined."
He Xin nodded and did not continue talking. He turned around and looked at the busy crew, and then looked at the sun in the distance. The sun had not completely set, and there was a faint light left, reflecting a thin red on the horizon.
