Huayu started from the fairy sword

Chapter 328 Experience faction, rivalry on the stone bridge!

Located in Qinglong Village in the deep mountains of Yuan'an County, it is another filming location in Yuan'an for the crew of "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree".

The traffic in Qinglong Village is very inconvenient. There is only one narrow path on the road leading to the village.

Director Zhang Yimou deliberately placed the filming location in the deep mountains and old forests, presumably to avoid media harassment.

Surrounded by dark blue hills, full of rapeseed flowers, a clear stream named Yuanjiahe passes through the village - Qinglong Village is like a paradise, just like Xicunping in the novel, which is surrounded by mountains and rivers.

It is worth mentioning that in the 70s, Qinglong Village was the place where educated youths from Wuhan went to the countryside. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why Zhang Yimou chose this location for filming.

In order to avoid gangster incidents during filming, the water heaters and satellite receiver pots on the roofs of many houses in the village were all removed by the crew of "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree".

In order not to affect the filming progress of the film, the crew of "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" had already sent special personnel to dismantle it a few days ago.

There is no way, these things are too modern, the crew said that if they want to shoot their houses, they will take them down first, and then help them install them again after the filming is over.

Everyone in the village knew that the director of this film was Zhang Yimou, a director who had directed the Olympic Games, and a household name, so everyone in the village was very new to the production team of "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree".

The home of Granny Ding, a villager in her 80s, is located on a small hill and is the third household in a row of six households. Her home was selected by the crew as the main location for filming in Qinglong Village.

To reach Granny Ding's house, a stone bridge built on the Yuanjia River is the only way to go.

Some staff members are building guardrails for the small bridge with green stones, and some people go down to the river to polish the bridge body with sandpaper in their hands. The polished stone bridge is black and shiny.

The first scene between Cao Jun and Bai Mengyan in "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" will start shooting here.

Before the filming of this scene started, Bai Mengyan took the initiative to go to Cao Jun's side and asked Cao Jun for advice on acting.

Although Bai Mengyan is the heroine of "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree", she is only a newcomer after all, and has never studied acting. When facing a big star like Cao Jun, she must still be under a lot of pressure.

Cao Jun looked at the petite and pretty girl in front of him, and didn't show off with her, but asked with a smile, "Mengyan, have you memorized the lines of this scene?"

Bai Mengyan hurriedly replied: "I know it by heart."

Cao Jun nodded with a smile: "That's fine, then let's check it out and see what your problem is."

Seeing that Cao Jun is so approachable, Bai Mengyan's worries were quickly swept away.

In this way, Cao Jun and Bai Mengyan also gave their own suggestions after they played against each other twice.

"Mengyan, if you really don't know how to act, you can substitute yourself into the role of Jing Qiu. You can treat yourself as Jing Qiu and use Jing Qiu..."

Bai Mengyan seemed to understand, but she was not sure whether Cao Jun's suggestion was what she understood.

In fact, Bai Mengyan's sense of the camera is still very good, and her eyes are particularly bright, probably because of her nervousness, her body movements and facial expressions are not natural enough.

After Cao Jun's careful guidance, Bai Mengyan also gradually gained confidence and confidence in acting.

After Cao Jun had to play with Bai Mengyan, he also had to play with Zhang Yimou for the little actor who played Huanhuan.

The difference from the original book is that Huanhuan, the little boy of the village head's grandson in the movie, has turned into a well-behaved little girl.

The four-year-old girl, named He Xiaoyu, was selected from thousands of children in Yichang and Beijing.

During the audition, no matter how long the lines are or how the scenes change, Zhang Yimou only needs to say it a few times, and He Xiaoyu can remember it very clearly.

It is very easy for Cao Jun to cooperate with such a talented young actor, and he will not be dragged down by her at all.

Xiaoyu's acting skills gradually came to the fore during the filming.

She is not yet five years old and she performed very well on the set. She performed very well like an old actor, not losing to the heroine Bai Mengyan at all.

"All departments prepare!"

"Start shooting!"

Following the order of director Zhang Yimou, the first scene officially started filming today.

As soon as the words were finished, Bai Mengyan, who played Jingqiu, stood on the stone bridge, and saw Cao Jun, who played the third child, holding Huanhuan played by He Xiaoyu, walking over from the side of the stream.

Cao Jun is wearing a dark blue knee-length cotton coat, which was given to him by the exploration team in the movie.

Huanhuan blocked part of his face, until Cao Jun walked up to her and put down Huanhuan, Bai Mengyan saw the whole of his face.

When Bai Mengyan looks at a person, just like Jing Qiu in the script, she always seems to have a pair of eyes in her head and another pair of eyes in her heart.

The eyes in her head told her that this person did not conform to the aesthetics of the proletariat, because his face was not black and red, but fair.

His figure is not "like a black iron tower", but thin; his eyebrows are relatively thick, but they are not like two swords flying upwards from the center of the eyebrows to both sides as in the posters.

Although his eyebrows are thick, they are not tense at all. In a word, he does not meet the proletarian definition of "handsome".

There is an old movie called "The Younger Generation", in which there is a man named Lin Yusheng, who is considered a backward-minded young man, afraid of going to the countryside and going to a difficult place to exercise.

Lin Yusheng was played by Da Shichang. At that time, Da Shichang was still very young, thin, with a sharp outline, a bit like a white-faced scholar, and his appearance fit the role very well.

If Bai Mengyan were the director, and if she were to assign a role to Huanhuan's third father, she would also assign Cao Jun to play the role of Lin Yusheng, because his appearance is not revolutionary, he is not armed, and he is very bourgeois.

But the eyes in her heart are appreciating these unlucky places of him to the fullest, but they haven't formed a clear point of view, just some undercurrents hidden in the consciousness.

She only knew that her heart, like Jing Qiu in the book, suddenly throbbed for a while, she became extremely flustered, and suddenly she cared about her clothes.

Bai Mengyan didn't know if she felt flustered when she saw Cao Jun, or because she really took on the role of Jingqiu?

But at this moment, Bai Mengyan was wearing an old cotton coat, like a tunic suit, but not a tunic suit, with only one pocket on it, which was called "student outfit".

The collar of the "student outfit" is very short, and Bai Mengyan has a long neck. She feels that she must look like a giraffe now, it's ugly to death.

Especially the third child played by Cao Jun in front of her can make her nervous to the point of heartache, she thinks he is well dressed, his white shirt collar is exposed from the unbuttoned blue coat, so white, so straight It must be made of the kind of "Diliang" fabric that Jingqiu couldn't afford.

The beige woolen vest on the outside of the shirt looks hand-woven, and even Bai Mengyan, a post-90s generation, thinks the pattern is pretty and not old-fashioned at all.

Moreover, Cao Jun was still wearing a pair of leather shoes, Bai Mengyan couldn't help but look at the pair of faded Jiefang shoes on her feet, and felt that the contrast between the poor and the rich was too sharp.

Cao Jun was smiling at Bai Mengyan, looking at her, but he seemed to be asking Huanhuan: "Is this your Aunt Jing?" Then he greeted her, "Is this the student writer from the city?"

"No, no, not a writer," Bai Mengyan blushed, and said embarrassedly, "I'm a student in No. [-] Middle School. I came to collect and write village history, and I went back to help the teacher compile textbooks."

Cao Jun smiled and said, "You must write about the hawthorn tree, right?"

Bai Mengyan also asked with a smile: "How do you know?"

"My guess."

At this moment, the director Zhang Yimou took the walkie-talkie and said with relief: "Very good, just act like this, and do it again."
