I'm the director, I'm not bad

Chapter 432 430. Big Difference
3 month 17 number.

Yuan'an County.

Xu Xin, Zhang Mo, Wang Lei, Liu Yichuan, the art director of "The Black Cannon Incident", Liu Lao, costume Zhang Li, props Ning Daming. The crew formed by Zhong Ling, the model of "Yellow Earth", Tian Geng, the costumer, and Ma Huiwu, the art director of "Scented Soul Girl", have been in Yuan'an County for a day.

There are also apprentices brought out by these older generation leaders in the Fuhua Dao industry, as well as apprentices of apprentices...

In just one art direction team, including consultants and staff, there are nearly 30 people in total.

This is not counting the decoration team next to it.

If you count the construction team in the decoration team who came to adjust the details according to the crew this time, there may be more than 70 people in the service department alone.

This also broke a new record for the number of Xu Xin controlling the crew.

how to say……

These people are too professional, no matter what slogans such as "resolutely support", or what the garbage bins of that era looked like, whether there were any telephone poles, etc., Xu Xin didn't need to say at all.

As soon as he got here, he naturally found out the problem.

Except for state-owned facilities such as telephone poles that cannot be changed, and may have to be repaired through the camera at that time, all the scenes of the filming locations provided by Yuan'an County have undergone earth-shaking changes in the past half month.

On the other side of the clear traffic light, there is a street that is not very modern, but it can also be called a street that keeps pace with the times.However, after passing the traffic light, the factory area of ​​Yuan'an old 1023 factory made Xu Xin feel in a trance that he had really crossed.

Maybe it's because I watched "Scary Step by Step" a little too much these two days, and it feels really strange for him to walk on this hardened surface.

But...professionals do professional things.

In the morning, except for some very small flaws, other details have basically been accepted.

It fully satisfies all the sense of time in the era that Xu Xin wants to restore.

The arrival of the crew also attracted the attention of many spectators.

But most of them came for Zhang Yimou.

But this time the old man was not there.

He went to Nanjing to work on "Thirteen Hairpins".

Although "Three Shots" got a box office of 2.4 million, its reputation was a mess.Coupled with the letter from Takakura Ken... the old man's seriousness about "Thirteen Hairpins" has broken through to a whole new level.

He needs to use this movie to get back his lost reputation.

Therefore, we have been paying attention to the training level of those trained amateur actors and children since the beginning of the new year, so as to achieve the most authentic restoration.

In addition, he also knew the strength of the various talents in Xu Xin's team, so he didn't come here this time.

The weather in Yuan'an in mid-March is far from warm.

But since all the people have come, the things that should be carried out must be carried out one by one.

In the morning, a group of veterans pointed out some deficiencies and flaws, and in the afternoon the engineering team took the time to renovate.

It's all superficial work, and it only takes a day or two to deal with it.

But it doesn't mean that it will be left alone after it's dealt with. The old man is also talking with the leaders of Yuan'an County.

He was even talking with the villagers of Qinglong Village.

After filming, these buildings should be restored or not.

The architectural restoration of Qinglong Village is relatively simple, because the local style is slightly outdated, the crew's reconstruction of the entire village is all put on the exterior.Some slogans adapted to the times, the old facade is not well renovated.

If it is restored, it can be painted directly.

Except for the two families who built a two-story building, and the crew had to re-paste the tiles on the facade of the family, the rest did not waste much effort.

The difficulty in Yuan'an County is that whether it is the 1023 factory area transformed into a school by the crew, or the entire street, and even some filming locations, they have been properly restored with the approval of the county party committee.

Here I have to praise the art and morality of these seniors who are old-fashioned. When they remodeled the facade, they all adopted the hanging net technology. Demolition, and the layer that fits the building is basically made of natural materials, some even use yellow mud mixed with straw and hanging nets, and first make a protective layer for the wall...

This technique was taught by these seniors, and many places in Qinglong Village and Yuan'an County have learned this technique.

But it really taught some young service props masters a lot of experience.

And the old man is now talking with the county about whether to remove the scenery of Qinglong Village and Yuan'an County after the movie is over.

Yuan'an County hopes to make use of the old man's name and Xu Xin's extra head to turn this city, which not only has a rich historical and cultural heritage, but also has an important strategic position in modern times, into a tourist area.

Yuan'an has started to build a hawthorn industrial park in the early years.

Through tourism, promote the economic development of the county.

So they are very supportive of the location selection for "The Hawthorn Tree".

However, due to the particularity of Yuan'an, even if the land of these old factories is abandoned, it is still a state-owned resource.

After the crew has been remodeled, logically speaking, it must be restored.

Of course, there are also crews or certain directors who don't care about these things.

I am used to the life of being a master, so the so-called scenery, whether it is a scenic spot or a nature reserve, is just the background under their lens.

Choose a location, build what you need, and leave after shooting.

Whether it will damage the scenic spot or not, people can't see these finishing work at all.

To be honest, Xu Xin didn't pay much attention to these things at first.

Or there is no concept.

In "Secret", his exterior scenes were all shot at Wanwan, and there was no change. They were all captured by the original scene. After the filming, everyone cleaned up the leftover garbage and left.

"The Wind" was shot directly in Hengdian.Although scenes were filmed in several cities including Lushun, there was no major renovation.And let's not mention it after returning to the factory... There are so many good things in the factory, and the foundation is also solid. Let alone remodeling, you don't feel bad even if you take it down and set it on fire.

It is also the first time he has made a movie that directly transforms a street like this.

When I heard the old man say "We will restore everything after the filming", although it was not surprising, I was still a little surprised.

After all, this demolition work should be done more delicately.

Although it is inappropriate to mention money, it is true that the project budget for demolition work is not much less than that for construction.

Very expensive.

He understands the truth, but he didn't expect the old man to be so serious.

As for how true?
When I came to Yuan'an last time, I held a meeting with the main persons in charge of the crew, and raised a few points in this regard, which are the kind that must be resolutely implemented.

First, don't touch the crops.

In the words of the old man:

"This is not to say that if you trample on the seedlings and malt, you will pay others money. These crops are the fruits of the fellow villagers who turned their heads to the loess and turned their backs to the sky. We must respect the fruits of other people's labor!"

Second, regardless of whether it is because of the shooting or the framing, the door of the fellow’s house or a section of the wall is demolished. After the framing is over, all must be restored.When we encounter things, we can adjust ourselves and give priority to adjusting ourselves.

"Everyone remember, you must not develop this habit of indifference. What do you think you are making movies for? You go to other people's homes and use other people's places to shoot things. Try to interfere as little as possible, and don't do these things with great fanfare. We are here to make movies, we are guests, we cannot be bad guests.”

Third, at the end of the day's filming, I used things from my fellow villagers' homes, soiled my concrete yard with the mud under my feet, etc...all had to be cleaned properly.

"We came clean and left cleanly. In the future, people won't point at our spines and scold us..."

These are the key points of the old man's meeting, and under Xu Xin's nod, they are already the military orders of the crew.

Military orders are like mountains.

After that meeting, the old man told him something.

Without naming names, just tell him:

"When you shoot this kind of scene in the future, you have to pay attention. Don't be like some people who went to Jiuzhaigou to shoot scenes and built a big shed in a national key nature reserve. They were rough when they were built, and many places were destroyed. , you don’t disassemble it after the filming, just throw tens of thousands of dollars to let others do it themselves...

Those thousands of years of natural beauty, because you destroy it yourself... then it's not about money.You become the sinner of those latecomers who have not seen the most authentic appearance of these beauties. "

When he said this, he not only cited the example of Jiuzhaigou, but also the examples of Yuanmingyuan and Shangri-la...

Xu Xin was a little confused.

I don't know which great directors can do such things that destroy the historical sites of the Old Summer Palace, the natural environment of Jiuzhaigou and Shangri-La...

It can't be so rough, can it?

When asked who did it, the old man waved his hand:

"You don't care who made it, just be yourself. We are directors. The audience finds the beauty through our screens and lenses. He is interested. When we watch it by ourselves, we must also ensure that What he saw was the same as what we captured. Otherwise, if people watch it together, your movie screens are so good-looking, and the result is a pile of rotten wood and rubbish at the scene...Why can’t people scold you?"

These are the old man's words.

After returning to Yanjing, Xu Xin told Yang Mi about it.

Yanjing Little Gossip directly mentioned the names of these directors.

Obviously, she knew these things too.

The movie that destroyed Shangri-La and the Old Summer Palace was "The Promise".

The TV series that destroyed Jiuzhaigou is called "The Legend of Condor Heroes"...Yang Mi herself starred in that version.

But Jiuzhaigou is not responsible for her, and her plays are all in Hengdian.

And Xu Xin, who heard this, said "good guy" while silently taking the things taught by these old men as his own commandments, and kept them all in his heart.

In the current "Hawthorn Tree", the old man and the local leaders are also talking about this issue.

Demolition, absolutely no problem.

The project budget is all placed here, what the place was like when we came, can be restored to what it was when we left.

Definitely.

But now Yuan'an County doesn't want to demolish it.

They want to turn these places into tourist attractions.

Maybe there is no charge, but at least it can make Yuanan more attractive.

Hope to keep.

But what the old man meant was that it could not be preserved, because the engineering treatment during the renovation was for the film service.

Not to mention anything else, let’s just talk about the modification of the hanging nets on the outer walls, which will take at most one year. Because of the wind, rain and environmental erosion, the outer walls will definitely fall down in pieces.

Not to mention the safety hazard, it will become ugly.

And what everyone is discussing now is how to solve these things.

I don't want to demolish it, but I want to keep the filming location to attract tourists.

But it can’t be kept for long, and if it is remodeled, it will cost a lot of money. The most important thing is how to invite these "art consultants" to help restore it...

You see, film preparation is such a hassle.

In every aspect, it must be perfect both internally and externally.

The kind of story where a few people can save hundreds of millions or billions of movie box office with a camera on their shoulders... Maybe there are in reality, but 99% of them can only exist in novels.

Because novels don't need so many details.

But the fundamental reason why a real movie can be called the "seventh art" lies in the details that the audience cannot see.

Fortunately... these things, Xu Xin doesn't understand, but the old man understands.

As the producer, he took over to handle it.

Xu Xin only needs to shoot according to his own movie rhythm.

And in the afternoon, when the engineering team was rushing to renovate, Wang Lei's camera seat had already been set up.

Putting on a military overcoat he found somewhere, the shivering Lin Xunxin was waiting for Xu Xin's signal.

As soon as the signal started, he took off his coat and deliberately made the neckline old and yellow, but the overall look was a snow-white white shirt, a blue hurdle vest, blue khaki pants, and liberation shoes.

In the average weather of 9 to 17 degrees in March in Yuan'an, he dressed in summer followed Xu Xin's instructions and started walking along this dirt road.

After walking for two laps, I stepped on a large number of bicycles.

There is a little girl named Xu Chunchun in the fashion design, who is about the same height and build as Liu Yifei.

At this moment, the strong man was caught, sitting on the bicycle frame with a sore buttocks, holding back a smile, blushing, wearing a down jacket, let "Brother Can't" take her to ride up and down this road for several laps .

All of these were captured by Wang Lei's camera.

Look at the combination of Fu Huadao and the actors, what kind of texture is presented in the video.

Then use real shots to set the makeup.

Everything is sitting and preparing for the smooth start of filming.

But Liu Yifei didn't arrive.

She was also born in Hubei, and her hometown is in Liangzihu, Jiangxia District, Wuhan.I could have arrived this morning, but the car broke down halfway.

Now I am repairing my car in the service area of ​​Yingcheng Expressway.

After returning to her hometown before the Spring Festival, she cut off all "modern" things.

Silently let the life in the countryside smoke away the fairy spirit in him, and replace it with a kind of smoke and fire.

But Xun took so long that after she and Wu Qiqi agreed to leave, neither of them thought that their cars were in Wuhan.

When I remembered, it was already this morning.

I had no choice but to drive here in the van of a relative in the village.

As a result, the old Wuling lost the three people including the driver halfway.

Xu Xin felt outrageous when he heard this.

Is this something a "human" can do?

Forget about Liu Yifei.

Qiqi, are you afraid that you have forgotten your home in the past few months?
But speechless is speechless, but he didn't urge them, on the contrary, he told the two of them not to worry, and put safety first.

There is no need for someone to transfer a driver and car from Wuhan.

He also wanted to see what kind of change in Liu Yifei's temperament that came from Wuling.

So this afternoon's brother is destined to treat Xu Chunchun as Jingqiu.

Continuous walking, different adjustments of the sub-camera.

After eating at noon, I was busy until 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

Finally, a Wuling van with E-A on it arrived suddenly...

Then, Xu Xin saw a girl who jumped out of the car wearing a pair of very ordinary sneakers, baggy trousers, a single braid in her hair, and the bright red down jacket that netizens criticized many times.

Plain and clean.

The smoke and fire of the past few months, and deliberately not taking care of the skin, but presenting a kind...with a bit of firewood, against the backdrop of a healthy complexion of winter labor...

Jingqiu, who knows how to do farm work, folds envelopes for his mother, and in order to get the eligibility to stay in school for good performance, does rough work such as pulling mud and bricks in summer vacation with a thin body... just appeared in front of him.

His eyes widened completely.

Not only him, but even Zhang Mo, Wang Lei, and everyone in the crew, seeing Liu Yifei, who was no longer immortal, but more and more innocent, all stared straight at him.

The change...so big!
It's so big that you don't believe it's something Liu Yifei can do!

But Xu Xin's shock was replaced by a kind of satisfaction from the bottom of his heart.

"EMMM... Mmm!!"

He nodded vigorously:
"Yes, very good! That's right...this taste is right."

After hearing his words, Liu Yifei, who had actively isolated himself from the world for several months, gradually broke away from the slightly uncomfortable trance.

In the past few months, she has really forgotten her identity.

So instinctively, she felt a little uncomfortable for these people's attention.

But when I heard the approval from the director, under the cover of several months of hard work, the original goal "I want to be a down-to-earth actor" was awakened again!

It quickly turned into a flame of joy, and she grinned unconsciously, revealing that gingival smile that seemed more and more real even though it was a flaw:
"Hey hey hey..."

Hearing this laughter, Xu Xin no longer needed any response from her.

"Haha~"

He also laughed heartily, and then said to the people around him:
"Let's go, go to the factory and find our Jingqiu's seat."

I didn't have too many pleasantries with Liu Yifei, I was afraid that one more word would destroy this simplicity and innocence.

After he finished speaking, he left directly.

The production crew walked to the factory in a mighty manner.

As for how much Liu Yifei has changed...

As soon as the crew left, someone among the crowd watching the excitement said:
"The girl who came down from Changhe just now...why does she look so much like Liu Yifei?"

"That's not Changhe, it's Wuling. What about Moss, you can't see such a big logo?"

"You have good eyes, aren't you? Is that girl Liu Yifei?"

"This... doesn't seem to be the case. How can Liu Yifei be so stupid..."

Dirt?

maybe.

But in Xu Xin's case, she is her best Jingqiu!

……

When we arrived at the factory area, it was nearly dusk.

The makeup artist is going to apply makeup to her in no time.

But Xu Xin stopped it.

After thinking about it, he said:
"Don't put on makeup, let's look at it without makeup... Field manager, get her a hoe!"

Su Yan?

As soon as Xu Xin said this, many people thought he was crazy.

Liu Yifei's face can be slapped again, but... this is a movie, my director Xu!

You actually have an elemental face?

Even Wang Lei was puzzled:
"That facial shadow..."

"Shadows can be adjusted through the camera position and light... Let's take a look at the state of the bare face first. How about it?"

What he said later was for Liu Yifei.

But looking at the strange environment around her, Liu Yifei, who seemed to have gone astray again, had no opinion after hearing this:
"It's all right."

Soon, a young man came over with a hoe.

Before Xu Xin could speak, she said:

"Is it the part where Jingqiu helped the school repair the playground and tried to stay in school with good performance?"

Hey.

The little native girl is quite familiar with the script.

Xu Xin nodded:
"Yes. You can play freely in this scene... Hurry up, it will be dark in a while."

Hearing this, Liu Yifei nodded, took a hoe and walked to the hard soil road where the bricks had been removed and was specially rolled by a road roller.

Standing in the open space, surrounded by dozens of people.

She was in a trance.

But he was quickly pulled back by the staff with straw hats and shirts.

He took off his down jacket, put on a white shirt that was too big, and put a straw hat on his head.

He glanced at Xu Xin who was already standing in front of Wang Lei's camera.

She took a deep breath...

"Phew... can we start?"

Xu Xin didn't speak, but leaned closer to the small screen of Alai's camera, looking at the face of the girl in the straw hat.

Arri's camera function needless to say.

As a leading subsidiary of cameras, its cameras have countless advantages.

In the high-fidelity picture, both the advantages and disadvantages can be infinitely magnified.

but……

Rather...

outrageous...

He looked at the static close-up on the screen, and couldn't help but said to Wang Lei:

"Director Wang... how do you feel?"

"..."

Wang Lei was silent while adjusting the focus.

After he changed another layer of light to record, he sighed:
"It's so natural...it's like this without makeup, but with makeup...how beautiful is it?"

This statement received the approval of everyone around him.

Even Zhang Mo couldn't help feeling jealous.

They are all raised by their mothers...why?

Why did you grow up like this?
However, when Xu Xin moved his eyes from the screen to the faces of the people around him and saw their expressions, he understood...

They didn't seem to understand why she was their Jingqiu.

So he said directly:

"If she is any more beautiful, she won't be Jingqiu."

"..."

"..."

"..."

These words made everyone unable to bear to look at Xu Xin.

Director Xu's words...

What do you mean?
And Xu Xin lowered his head again, looked at the girl in the camera, and said unhurriedly:

"The beauty of Sanliwan is definitely not as beautiful as the Yangtze River. Its beauty should be small, but it is graceful enough. It is so beautiful that everyone can remember only Jingqiu's face. And if you only look at Jingqiu's face , must have lost some flavor. So... I think her current state is just right. "

After speaking, he suddenly showed a thoughtful expression.

After thinking about it, he shouted:

"Change her shirt for a smaller size. This one is too big."

Hearing this, another shirt was soon brought to Liu Yifei.

In front of everyone, the girl wearing a slim-fitting thin cashmere jacket changed generously.

And as soon as this small shirt was put on, her bust curves appeared instantly.

"Very well, you don't need to change your pants... let's get started."

Following Xu Xin's words, Liu Yifei nodded.

After weighing the hoe in his hand, he held it up quickly and raised his chest.

The hoe is not dropped, but thrown!

This is a technique taught to her by the aunt in the village.

He straightened his chest, bowed his waist, and then fell down in an instant!

"Oh!"

People who have been plowing the land all year round can't find fault with the way of exerting force, which makes the hoe sink directly into the hard soil of the playground.

Under mechanical conduction...

"..."

"..."

"..."

Including Lin Gou and Zhang Mo, everyone looked at the turbulent waves that were looming under the shirt that was one size smaller in that natural force...

In the past, you didn't know what Three Mile Bay was.

But now...

Xu Xin, who looked away from the screen, looked at the male compatriots... needless to say but everyone understands the eyes, grinned, and smiled silently.

Haha.

Now, looking at the big guy who fell into silence, he especially wanted to ask:
Do you understand?
　I just got home and I have to go to the hospital. The child has a high fever and is covered in a whole body. I'm not sure whether it will be interrupted these days. Let me tell you in advance and slip away.

　　Thanks to the leader Yingzhi for the reward, and I will lead 6 more.
