Winter is coming.

Populus euphratica reflection.

The north wind howls.

Snow particles are flying.

The bonfire reflects the face, and the clouds of white mist exhale. When they meet the heat, they form wonderful changes one by one, like you, like me, and like him.

The story takes place in the no man's land in the wilderness of northern Xinjiang.

What kind of no-man's land is the deserted no-man's land?

There are ups and downs, not flat.

If you want to have a three-dimensional effect on a plane, you need to elevate it and shoot it from above.There must be grass in the snow field, some of which are yellow, but the dead branches are green before they turn yellow, and their vitality is extremely tenacious.

This is the film requirements and analysis that Mr. Wang conveyed to us when we read the script with our main creative staff.This was a great inspiration for my subsequent films.

"No Man's Land" was filmed very slowly.

Sometimes, taking advantage of the snowy night, after every night of filming, Master would bring a dozen of us, the main creators of the film crew, to meet in the yurt to have a good drink and chat.

The master gave it to me with fine wine.

We go to appointments with our ears and feel with our hearts.

Three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

When the wine is hot, the master will personally use a blue tin kettle to cook a pot of steaming coffee on the hot stove, and explain to us the purpose of shooting "No Man's Land" and the expectations to be achieved.

"No Man's Land" was filmed for 4 months and 7 days, and we lived in the wasteland for 3 months.

In this kind of speculation and collision over and over again, this drama has its own spirit and spirit, and also has its own core.

When filming, every staff member tacitly did not talk too much about the content of the film itself, but I believe that everyone is holding back their enthusiasm for this film... especially the actors.

It's crazy.

Fa Ge later fell ill and was hospitalized for more than a month after the filming was completed.Brother Hui also devoted himself to the role when he was filming. Later I heard that he had to cultivate for nearly half a year before he stepped out of the role...

20 years later.

Brother Hui got rid of the knots in his heart, and then he made up his mind to return to the wilderness where we used to be crazy together, and once again starred in the movie "The Rescued Maimaiti" directed by me and produced by Master.

Master said that this play is actually a companion piece to "No Man's Land" to a certain extent.

However, this time, civilization became the theme...

The people became the main theme.

In the icy wasteland, the railway is winding.

"You have to set up the machine here, facing the snow field behind you, here is a subjective shot. These...the window frames and curtains here in the prop group are yellow, and the camera fades away."

Marshal Wu, with half a Cuban cigar in his mouth and a beard, directed Bao Xi, and at the same time turned his head to Zhou Runfa:
"Brother Fa, the 'Famous' you play should sit close to this position in the carriage—watching the train pass by Populus euphratica..."

"What emotion am I going to show?"

"Arrogance and smugness. Because you know... After you finish this lawsuit, you will get a lot of exposure... You should know the status of the lawyers in those law firms..."

Hearing this, Zhou Runfa stood beside him, and Wen Xian nodded knowingly. "I know. I also wrote a character summary for the famous mentality."

"That's it. After this scene is over, I will go to the next scene to shoot the scene between you and the 'poacher'. After a while, you should be in a happy mood and drive your BMW to hit Brother Feihui." Wu Xiaozu turned and put half a cigar In Lin Chaozhen's hands, he asked aloud, "Are the substitute and stunt driver ready?"

"Brother Xian and Xiao Hei are ready to go." Lin Chaochen nodded hastily.

Because there are a lot of car scenes.

Luo Licheng and Ke Shouyu, the two top special effects directors in Chinese films today, are also fully responsible for every detail.

A stand-in and driver are required.

On the one hand, professionals are more able to maximize the effect.

On the other hand, it is also to protect the actors, so that the filming of the crew can go on smoothly.

Otherwise, if Liang Jiahui is really injured, it will delay the filming progress of the crew.

What is wasted is money.

Now Xiaozu Wu understands why Wang Jiawei's "Evil in the East and West in the West" is so expensive.Shooting in this environment, eating horse chews is really not a small expense.

Fortunately, prices in northern Xinjiang are not high

In other words, consumption in the mainland is very low in this era.

Otherwise, the daily consumption is a huge amount of money.

"By the way, are "Fuse" and "Fear Room 6" released? Are "Capturing Commander" and "Evil" starting to be promoted soon?"

Wu Xiaozu took the cigar and took the time to ask about Hong Kong Island.

Although he does not personally direct the company's film announcement, he still needs to understand the general direction...

"The results are good, and the publicity of "Capture the Commander" is also done well. As for "Evil and West Poison"..." Lin Chaozhen frowned, "Director Wang is helping Ms. Wang and the others to film "Sex and the City" for the first time. Ji, I haven't seen..."

"By the way, I remembered something. Pay attention to the ring on the finger of 'Famous'. When filming later, he lost the ring, but don't forget the marks on his finger." Wu Xiaozu didn't wait for the other party to finish, suddenly remembered something matter, told You Laihai not far away.

"I've written it down in the notes on the storyboard." You Naihai said hastily.

"Okay." Wu Xiaozu took a sip of his cigar, raised his chin at Lin Chaochen again, "Go on, where did you just say? By the way, I will return a telegram or long-distance call with Sir Jiang later, and I will not attend the annual meeting." Yes. The plan for next year and the year after will just follow what we set before.”

Hastily ordered, Wu Xiaozu got off the train, pulled Wu Tianming to ask Hami about the scene arrangement of the 'court' scene.

Watching Wu Xiaozu sit on the 'Three Jumpers' and move towards the next scene, Lin Chaozhen also quickly wrote down the things the other party ordered just now in his notebook.

Master's voice can still be heard in my ears.

"The actor who plays the gangster should arrange for someone from Xiying Studio to come as a cameo."

"Okay, just make up your mind."

"I might take a few days off next month."

"A week at most."

"It just so happens that the scenes in the courtroom and some scattered shots marked in my storyboard have been filmed these days. It can be regarded as giving the actors 2 days of rest, and it has been filming for nearly a month."

The sound gradually faded away, and only the sound of three chug chugs could be heard.

The timeline has entered December.

The crew of "No Man's Land" has also entered the running-in period, and many scenes in the early stage have been shot for almost a quarter of the progress of a few scenes per day.The whole drama doesn't move fast, but it's efficient.

The cast also had great chemistry.

In a play, there needs to be a chemical reaction between the actors... This naturally requires the director to adjust, but it also requires collision and familiarity between the actors.

Wu Xiaozu will ask for leave to go to North America next.

"Pulp Fiction" editing needs him to make decisions, and he needs to be present at internal meetings.

The filming of the crew is like going to work, and his temporary trip this time is like a business trip.

It's all inevitable.

The same goes for actors.

The next most important scene is about the scene between the famous litigator and the dancer. After shooting, he will leave immediately.

　People sit at home, chapters fly naturally.
