tearjerker director

Chapter 168 Journey to the Desert, Chen Han Visits

Li Yi quickly made an appointment with Xu Kun. Xu Kun not only came alone, but also brought a student with thick glasses frames.

Soon, Li Yi felt that he had found the right person.

Because after Xu Kun read the script, he recalled a lot of photos he took when he was a consultant for the crew of "An Shi Rebellion".

Most of them are about the weapons, military uniforms, flags, etc. of the Tang Dynasty.

"Although your story happened in 790 AD, although it was thirty years later than the Anshi Rebellion, many things are similar." Xu Kun said.

Li Yi nodded quickly.

"In terms of prop production, I can only provide guidance, but I can ask the director Mu of "An Shi Rebellion" for you. The company that made the props should be able to help you make these things."

"However, I'm getting old, and when the filming crew has to go to the desert to shoot scenes, I can't do it." Xu Kun said with a wry smile.

Li Yi suddenly became a little anxious.

"Director Xu, this."

"Director Li, don't worry, let me introduce you. This is my student, Chang Yanming. Yanming is very obsessed with Tang history. It can be said that his attainments in this field are as good as mine. When the time comes, you can Let Yan Ming follow the group, but Yan Ming is a more serious person, and Director Li will take care of you." Xu Kun pointed to the student Chang Yanming who had been sitting silently by the side.

"Then trouble Teacher Chang!" Li Yi heard that, of course, he couldn't believe it.

"Director Li, I don't dare to be you. You, you should call me Yan Ming. I will ask you to take care of me in the future." Chang Yanming seems to be not good at dealing with people, and when he speaks, he is a little bumpy.

However, Li Yi didn't care, as long as he really has the ability, his personality is second.

With the help of Xu Kun and Chang Yanming, the official preparations for "The Last Transfer in Mobei of the Tang Dynasty" began.

First of all, in terms of prop production, Chang Yanming brought Li Yi a surprise.

In order to perfectly restore the costumes and props of that year, Chang Yanming deliberately searched for some archaeological materials of that era, from which he found photos of cultural relics unearthed during the "Da Tang Jianzhong" period in the play, and gave them as a reference for prop production.

Not only that, but also the military uniforms, military flags, armors and so on of the sergeants of the Tang Dynasty.

At the same time, a large amount of literature was also found to study the geographical distribution between the two cities of Kucha and Xizhou.

He also put forward many suggestions, such as the Tang merchants in the play, the veterans in Xizhou City, and the young Tang Jun. It is best to use actors of various nationalities. According to his words, in real history, these same actors They are all made up of people of various nationalities, and in that era, all nationalities considered themselves citizens of Datang, and many people gave everything for Datang.

Chang Yanming is indeed obsessed with Tang history. Li Yi found that when chatting with him, he could always talk for a long time.

Although Chang Yanming is not a professional in film and television, his knowledge and sincerity slowed down the crew's preparations a lot, but he strives for excellence in all aspects.

It is probably rare to have such an opportunity, so Chang Yanming's work attitude made Li Yi feel ashamed. He could even search for relevant information for a certain detail without sleep.

Just when Li Yi was busy with "The Last Transfer in Mobei of the Tang Dynasty".

Seeing that the Hong Kong Island Film Awards ceremony was getting closer and closer, Xu Zhaoyuan and others finally couldn't sit still.

However, Li Yi didn't want to see them at all, and just in time for the good excuse of preparing "The Last Transfer in Mobei of the Tang Dynasty", Li Yi simply took Mu Qing to the desert to experience "Guyan Straight in the Desert" in the name of Kanjing. , the spectacle of the long river falling into the sun".

And actually?Li Yi doesn't need to worry about this stuff at all. In fact, the shooting scene has already been set. It can be said that the preparations for "The Last Transfer in Mobei of the Tang Dynasty" have basically been completed, and the actors are missing.

As for actors, this time, in fact, the requirements for actors are not high. The reason is that there are requirements for actors' acting skills.

Not high, because a large number of scenes in the whole play were filmed in the desert. In the wind and sand, it can be said that the audience may not be able to see clearly the faces of the actors.

Li Yi was just looking for an excuse to avoid lobbyists, he really didn't want to participate in the Academy Awards.

As a result, Xu Zhaoyuan and the others couldn't contact Li Yi at all.

In desperation, they could only take a roundabout route and found Li Yi's father, Li Zhenye.

Li Zhenye really didn't want to interfere at first, but he couldn't stand it anymore. This time, Chen Han actually came to the door in person.

To Xu Zhaoyuan and the others, Li Zhenye could not give face, but Chen Han and Li Zhenye had to.

"Director Chen, why are you here?" Li Zhenye was shocked when he saw Chen Han.

"I don't want to come either, but I can't do it if I don't come. You know, the Golden Statue Awards have been getting worse year by year as the focus of Chinese-language films has shifted to the mainland. The Golden Statue Award created by the old guy has just fallen like this." Chen Han sighed and played the sad card.

"Could Director Chen be too pessimistic? I think that although the Academy Awards are not as good as they were back then, they still say that they are one of the three most influential awards for Chinese-language films. Why have they fallen?" Li Zhenye shook his head and said.

Chen Han sighed: "This time, it is true that some people did something wrong, but they cannot represent the Hong Kong Film Awards. Having hired a capable young director, the Academy Awards will naturally show something, let your kid come back, if it’s really not possible, I, Old Chen, can apologize to him face to face!"

"Director Chen is serious. In fact, Director Chen, it's not that I'm narrow-minded, but that some people have gone too far. According to their usual practice, it's no wonder that Hong Kong Island filmmakers have become ineffective over the years. As long as they don't Their intention is to suppress and pour dirty water, no matter how talented young people are, it will be difficult to get ahead." Li Zhenye said.

"I know, you are blaming me, us old guys. When Li Yi was suppressed and splashed with dirty water, none of us made a sound. On the contrary, Li Yi's teacher and brothers in the mainland gave their full support. If you promise, You won't believe me if I tell you, but after this time, I believe that similar things won't happen again." Chen Han immediately heard what Li Zhenye was dissatisfied with.

"Director Chen, that's the end of the story. You came here in person. I'll call that brat right now, but you also know that he may not listen to my old man now that he's grown up. So, I just I can give it a try." Li Zhenye finally said after a while.

Chen Han has already talked about this, but he can't just refuse it blindly.

Moreover, as a veteran actor in Hong Kong Island, Li Zhenye still hopes in his heart that Li Yi can stand on the podium of the Hong Kong Film Awards, which symbolizes the highest honor of Hong Kong Island films, to get that trophy.

But based on Li Zhenye's understanding of Li Yi, since he has hidden away, even if he can get in touch, he doesn't know what Li Yi will think about it, although he believes that if he really wants Li Yi to go, he will Go, but obviously, he couldn't do that.
