Perfect Life

At the end of June, Qingdao Prefecture, Shandong Province.

Hot weather.

Fortunately, Qingdao Mansion is a seaside city after all. The cool breeze blowing from the seaside, with a hint of the salty smell of the sea, is not so hot that people are reluctant to speak.

Li Qian wore a T-shirt and shorts like the other staff members and watched the situation on the field seriously.

The venue is a large shed with bamboo as the main frame that was temporarily built on a large beach rented by the sea. Here, there is the largest and most shot scene in the entire "Once Upon a Time".

In the field at this time, Zhou Baoshan was fighting with Jiang Xiaolong, who played the villain. The martial arts instructor Guo Ziming was standing not far from the two, interrupting them from time to time to make detailed adjustments and guidance.

For all the scenes involving fighting scenes in the play, Li Qian gave Guo Ziming the greatest scheduling power, and he guided and arranged the actors' performances throughout the whole process, while he himself was only responsible for leading the camera team to choose the most suitable shooting angle. Just like a director of photography, more like a director.

Of course, Guo Ziming's action design and guidance must meet Li Qian's requirements.

The two of them fought for a while in the field. Guo Ziming beckoned and called over a dozen martial arts ensembles to let them participate, so all of a sudden, the scene seemed a little chaotic.

Li Qian was not in a hurry, but looking at Guo Ziming's appearance, he was a little overwhelmed.

But fortunately, when he was still in Shuntian Mansion, he had already deduced it countless times by himself in Minghu Building, and let Zhou Baoshan and the others participate in simulating this situation countless times. In fact, the current chaos is mainly because of this. Helping the newly joined group performers is not quite clear about their respective positions.

Guo Ziming saw that it was too chaotic, so he stopped immediately, called everyone together, and explained each person's position and movement one by one, while talking and demonstrating in person.

Well, he works very hard.

Because in the end, after the preliminary performance training, the teacher believes that he has the preliminary performance foundation, and if he does not require high acting skills, he can try his best to act.

So, for a purely commercial film like "Once Upon a Time", which roles have lower requirements for acting? ——The accurate answer is that it is not too high!

In the end, after testing, Li Qian decided that he would be the leader of the Shahe Gang in the play!

This can be regarded as the big villain in the play!

For Guo Ziming, this is simply a surprise!

Although in this way, there will be a picture of him hand-in-hand teaching a series of movements to Zhou Baoshan, and letting him use those movements to beat himself hard - but, think about it, it's quite interesting!

The field soon followed Guo Ziming's request, and this time, it was much smoother than last time - once the movements were coherent, even ordinary bystanders could immediately see this style of play. The uniqueness of it!

Zhou Baoshan has a straight waist, walks forward, and has a grand master demeanor. When he sees a move, he always makes three easy moves and two moves, and he can easily repel the opponent in front of him!

This fight seems to be both relaxed and freehand, but also very exciting and very enjoyable!

It's not the same thing as flying around in the previous martial arts movies, highlighting the fight purely by expressions and cuts, or the tanning muscles in the martial arts movies, and the lively fights!

Of course, in Li Qian's opinion, the expression on Zhou Baoshan's face was still slightly worse than what he wanted. He turned his head and whispered to Zhao He to exchange a few comments, Zhao He nodded and said softly: "He His facial expression really needs to be adjusted, according to the script, it should be the kind of expression that completely ignores the opponent's attack, so his eyes will move with the opponent's movements, which is the biggest problem!"

Li Qian nodded and turned to look at Lu Lingxi beside him.

Lu Lingxi sensed his gaze, turned his head, shook his head, and smiled, "I have no opinion."

Li Qian shrugged.

At this moment, Zhu Yu and Feng Bicheng walked in and whispered, "The clothes have been changed, do you want to take a look again?"

Li Qian turned his head to look at her and thought for a while, "Don't look at it, just bring it over, let them put it on, and try it on the spot! If you find something wrong, you can find it immediately."

Zhu Yu nodded, and was about to walk away, but Feng Bicheng hurriedly said, "I'll ask them to bring them in, so you don't need to bask in the sun again, this big sun!" After speaking, he ran out.

Zhu Yu smiled and said "thank you".

Feng Bicheng smiled and said, "Bicheng is still very thoughtful in what he does!"

Li Qian smiled and said nothing.

After taking back the changed clothes and sending them back, Li Qian gave an order, and the martial arts actors in the field changed their clothes collectively - it was a hot day, and everyone was wearing bunts. Just put on the costume from the show.

Soon, in addition to the hairstyle, a group of more than a dozen people dressed in Shun Dynasty and serving in the last years appeared in front of everyone.

The whole set of costumes in this film was designed by Zhu Yu himself, which basically followed the service style of the last years of the Shun Dynasty, and added certain beautification elements. Of course, the beautification part is mainly reflected in the costumes of the two characters Huang Feihong and Thirteenth Aunt in the play. As for Liang Kuan, Pork Rong, Shahe Gang leader and others, their roles are originally ordinary civilians at the bottom of society. Even if you want to beautify it, you can't go too far. Their clothing and shapes are still centered on the simplicity of following the mainstream clothing at that time.

Everyone changed their clothes one after another. Even if it was not obvious before, at this time, Zhou Baoshan was naturally given a special status by the clothes. He was a medium figure in his early seventies, and he wore this moon-white embroidered Shun Chao. The robes of the last years are simply outstanding at a glance!

Li Qian pursed his lips and looked at it for a while, until Zhou Baoshan lowered his head a little embarrassedly, stretched here and there, and finally smiled, turned his head to Zhu Yu and said, "This time is not bad, better than last time. It looks a little more energetic!"

Zhu Yu raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, his face brightened.

Zhou Baoshan knew that this was one of his future costumes, and when Li Qian praised him, he couldn't help but lowered his head and looked at the dress carefully - he didn't know anything else, only knew that the material of the dress should be felt when he touched it. It is quite expensive!

Seeing his immature appearance, Li Qian couldn't help but smile, thinking: After a year, maybe he will become the brightest new star in the Chinese film industry! At that time, if it wasn't for those who had experienced it at this time, who would have known that he actually looked so immature when the film started shooting?

However, having said that, through my own efforts, I presented the classics in my mind one by one and presented them to the Chinese people in this time and space, and at the same time made famous actors one after another, it is not that I have been striving to pursue. , Is it something you work hard to do?

It's just too happy!

He was still thinking, and Zhao He was already thinking in a low voice, "The rehearsal is a little bit basic, the personnel, costumes, and scenery are all over..." After thinking about it, he turned to look at Li Qian, "Start shooting tomorrow?"

Li Qian nodded slowly, glanced at the field again, then turned to look at the batch of clothes, and then turned to look at Lu Lingxi, "Hey? Why didn't you change?"

Lu Lingxi couldn't help rolling his eyes when he heard the words, and the people around were laughing.

Considering that the martial arts scene is the most difficult part of the whole film, and considering that Guo Ziming and Zhou Baoshan have been rehearsing for many days in Shuntian Mansion, it is time to strike while the iron is hot and should not delay, so Li Qian decided to go to Qingdao Mansion first to make this part The scene in the bamboo shed was filmed, and then I went to film the previous literary scene and small martial arts.

However, in the role of the bamboo shed, Lu Lingxi has only two sets of clothes, one is messy, the other is even worse, the lower body still has a skirt, but the upper body is only wearing a bellyband, which will reveal a large area. Show your back!

A beautiful woman like Lu Lingxi just put on the messy Shunmo women's middle clothes two days ago, and it has been seen that a lot of men at the scene can't wait to leave nosebleeds on the spot, not to mention wearing only a apron and a skirt. ! In particular, on that day, there was indeed a group performance, a young and sturdy guy, who really saw Lu Lingxi wearing that dirty middle coat, and he had a nosebleed on the spot, so that everyone laughed at him and at the same time. But it made Lu Lingxi embarrassed. At this time, she was naturally unwilling to change.

After everyone laughed, Li Qian clapped his hands and motioned for everyone to come over. Even a few photographers on the other side of the bamboo shed who were thinking about their camera positions were also called out loudly.

After everyone gathered, Li Qian said, "Finally, I will give you half a day to prepare. Tomorrow morning, we will officially start!"

The crowd roared!

…………

That night, on the set, two buses stopped at the end of the road not far away. At this time, on the beach outside the bamboo shed, four or five barbecue stalls were set up at the same time, and a unique barbecue dinner had already begun.

The chef was specially invited from a restaurant in the city. There is no need for the crew to do it themselves. Everyone just eats and drinks. However, the wine is limited supply-the official shooting will start tomorrow, and Sun Yuting, who is in charge of organizing the barbecue dinner, knows of course. No one can get drunk.

Everyone was eating and drinking in groups of three or five, discussing enthusiastically.

Li Qian deliberately called Fu Xuelong aside, the two were eating mutton kebabs and drinking draft beer, Li Qian told him, "Think about this drama, if this drama is well done, and the next drama starts, let you give it to me Mirrored."

After a pause, he added: "Now in our company, Lao Jin's camera is still the first, but apart from him, Lao Du's camera level is not inferior to yours, and he is more experienced, even if I want to help you Going up, you have to come up with some tricky skills, right?"

Fu Xuelong stuttered, nodded frequently, and said, "I don't talk too much, look back at my work!"

Li Qian patted his shoulder and smiled.

The two had just finished talking when Sun Yuting and Lu Lingxi had already walked over together, "Hey, what are you two hiding and muttering?"

Li Qian turned around and said with a smile, "I said that this kind of draught beer made directly from the factory is more fragrant than the one drunk in Shuntian Mansion. The old man said he felt the same." Fu Xuelong smiled naively and did not speak.

Sun Yuting's state was a little high, and her face flushed, "Hey! It's weird to believe you! What are you guys discussing! Old Master, drink, don't run!"

Fu Xuelong continued to laugh, "You take it easy, don't drink too much!"

Sun Yuting looked nonchalant, "Hey, I bought the wine, I can't count how much it is in total? Don't worry, no one wants to drink too much with those alcoholics over there!"

Fu Xuelong smiled naively, and when he saw Sun Yuting holding out the glass, he simply touched her, looking up and taking a big mouthful, Li Qian also touched her and Lu Lingxi, and raised his head to drink.

After everyone had drunk, Lu Lingxi looked at Sun Yuting and Fu Xuelong, then turned to Li Qian and said, "I have some things. Recently, I am a little confused. Can we walk together? I want to talk to you."

Li Qian nodded, "Of course!"

Sun Yuting shrugged, and consciously didn't follow, she just turned her head and said something to Fu Xuelong. When Fu Xuelong heard it, he smiled and said nothing.

…………

The two walked 20 or 30 steps along the beach, and the excitement of the barbecue dinner gradually faded away. Lu Lingxi was walking with a beer mug in her hands, and she lowered her head and pondered. After a long time, she raised her head and asked. : "I heard people say, you have seen Liu Chengzhang's "Sword Immortal", and you are not optimistic about that movie?"

Li Qian nodded and said, "Yeah".

After thinking about it, he said: "The reason is very complicated. Before the movie is released, it is inconvenient for me to tell you too much, because it is suspected of spoilers, that is not good! When it is released, you can watch it yourself. The special effects of that film were made by our company, so it is worth watching. Besides, I don’t think that the film is bad at all. Director Liu’s level and strength are still very strong~www.wuxiaspot.com ~It's just that he's a bit too greedy to chew!"

After a pause, he sighed and said, "My prediction... should be able to break even?"

After thinking for a while, he said again: "It should be said that I hope this film can at least be able to break even!"

Lu Lingxi turned and stared at Li Qian for a moment, then nodded.

After a long time, she also sighed, "Assassination Qin and Reunion, both missed, next, I can only hope that these films, including Sword Immortal, will perform well in the market. Come on! Otherwise..."

Hearing this, Li Qian couldn't help turning his head to look at her and smiled.

"Anxiety?" he asked.

"Ah?" Lu Lingxi heard the words and was puzzled at first, but soon she understood, smiled, nodded, and said, "I'm a little anxious, and, in fact, I've been a little anxious since two or three years ago. , I always feel that the domestic films of the past few years are a bit like flies in their heads, slamming into the east and west, and can't find their way!"

Li Qian laughed when he heard the words, "Don't be anxious, from the literary films of the past 20 to 30 years, to the sudden impact of Hollywood blockbusters, and with the rapid increase in the domestic film market, today's film industry is actually just not complete. Think about it clearly! In fact, in my opinion, even after everyone has considered it clearly, it is still a big difficulty on how to do it!"

"But don't worry! We have a huge market in our hands, and we have such an excellent cultural heritage. We can always find a way out!" He affirmed.

Hearing this, Lu Lingxi looked at him and nodded, but then asked: "You are also finding a way, right? This Huang Feihong, and that red sorghum!"

Li Qian nodded and said, "Yes."
