Chapter 227 The Rat That Steals Oil! (two in one)

In winter and spring in the capital, apart from being cold, the sky and the earth are often gray, which makes people not only feel the cold physically, but also not so energetic psychologically, and it will be a bit gloomy.

Just like today, Lu Heng is very angry!

Because the inspection found that the oil prepared for the fire attack was not the kind requested at the beginning, but it was opportunistically packed into the oil barrel of the required brand, fooling everyone.

If an old pyrotechnician under Cai Xiaoqing didn't recognize it, who knows what accidents would happen-cheap ones are not necessarily bad, this is a probability event, but the risk is obviously much higher.

And the reason why Lu Heng asked Cai Xiaoqing's subordinates to check all these again was because a fire broke out during the filming of "Under the Red Cliff" in his previous life, resulting in one death and seven injuries.

At that time, "On the Red Cliff" was about to be released, and there was a supplementary filming of "Under the Red Cliff". Huang Gai's Wu boat was set on fire and crashed into the Cao boat. In fact, the filming had already been finished, and when they were about to put out the fire, the wind suddenly picked up, and the fire quickly engulfed the Xiangjiang martial artist. Seeing that the situation was not good, several other extras quickly jumped into the water.

In the end, the martial artist was burned to death, and the other seven extras were burned.

When interviewed by the media, the producer Zhang Jiazhen said that it was because the crew was short of money.

"At the beginning, we looked for special effects artists in Hollywood. They said that if we want to shoot a fire scene on water, we have to bury a fire pipe and a water pipe under the ground. It was worth several million dollars. We thought it was too expensive. Later, we heard that Goryeo's special effects were also good and much cheaper, so we went to Goryeo special effects artists."

"Our communication with the Koreans has not been smooth. On the day of the fire, we made up some war scenes. The Koreans set the fire and left without putting it out. Their usual practice is that one group sets the fire and another group puts out the fire. But we thought that those who set the fire should of course have to finish the fire before leaving. As a result, these people set the fire and ran away. In the end we had to ask people from Bayi Film Studio to help put out the fire, but the tragedy has already happened."

But when Lu Heng watched it at the time, his head was full of confusion... The country of Magnesium is too expensive, and Korea is too expensive, so something happened and people from the Bayi Factory were asked to put out the fire?
Where is the face?Why did you go so early?

Obviously, Bayi Factory's is more professional and less expensive. How many large-scale war movies have not been filmed back then? More than 40 years ago, the movie of a million soldiers crossing the river, a war movie in the era of hot weapons, was shot directly on the spot, and the shells were directly fired on those ships.
A bunch of banana crap!
It's not enough to pay back the money... Isn't it enough to spend tens of millions of dollars on Huaying?
Furthermore, when re-shooting such a scene with dangerous scenes, it’s okay if the leading actors are not there after the filming is over. The key point is that their director and producer are not there, but the special effects artists, Xiangjiang martial arts masters, and some extra performers are there, and later the media reported that there were no fire trucks on the scene at that time, only some fire extinguishers.

This kind of accident is regarded as burning incense, and it is not uncommon for accidents to happen.

Therefore, Lu Heng remembers this lesson, as long as it is not a literary play, but an outdoor play, Lu Heng will be there to sit in charge and check the equipment and props in advance.

Not only that, the technicians of the Bayi Factory, as well as the group of people under Director Cai, Lu Heng has been hiring. Compared with those in Magnesia or Korea, they are simply too affordable, and the key technology is not bad.

With such a talent, such a team, Wu Yusen and the others let others do side things, and only think of them when it is time to put out the fire, which is really okay.

In addition, as long as there is a fire scene, not only does Lu Heng have to prepare a fire engine, but the fire brigade will also report in advance and ask them to sit down. Although this is their job, if an accident occurs, there will be casualties, but Lu Heng is still very embarrassed and thank you every time. Although they bought a lot of things for them every time they go back, they don't want it.

However, Lu Heng has already decided that after the filming is over, the fire truck he bought for the crew will be given to them at that time.

And this time when he found out that the civet cat had exchanged oil for the crown prince, Lu Heng was furious, and quickly found out that he was one of the production team leaders.

And this person is not from Lu Heng's company, nor from Cai Xiaoqing's team, nor from Bayi Factory. He is from the Tengzhan company of Jinyingma Film and Television Company. At that time, considering that they had also invested, and Tengzhan had followed Han Ping's development for many years, Lu Heng agreed.

But now I know that this guy is a rat who steals oil!

Of course, such a thing cannot be tolerated. Although the oil quality is poor, there may not be an accident, but in case of an accident, Lu Heng will be unable to eat and walk around!
Because what is going to be filmed next is the highlight, Huo Gong.

This is not a reshoot of Woo Yusen's fire, but a real scene, not only the actors are present, but also on a larger scale.

Oil is flammable, so of course I wouldn’t buy it very early in advance. I bought it only after I took pictures. Fortunately, I checked it in advance.

After being brought over, he lowered his head and remained silent. Lu Heng called Teng Zhan directly, and said after speaking:
"Mr. Teng, that's what happened. Because nothing went wrong, after he spit out what he ate, you can take it back."

Teng Zhan apologized again and again, his face was also dull when his own people made such a mess.

After coming over, Teng Zhan apologized to Lu Heng again with an embarrassed face, and Lu Heng waved his hand:
"It's his problem. Mr. Teng certainly doesn't want to do this. Just don't think I'm targeting you on purpose."

"How could this be, oh, it's such a shame." Teng Zhan sighed.

He knew that Lu Heng let him enter for Han Ping's face, so he was afraid that Han Ping would be dissatisfied with him if something like this happened.

Although his father used to be the director of the Emei Film Factory, Han Ping’s old superior, and later became the director of the Film Bureau of Radio and Television, Zhang Yimou’s "Ju Dou" was selected for the Oscars, and Chen Kaige's "Farewell My Concubine" was selected for Cannes. He signed and approved, but after all, he retired four years ago, and now Teng is a little weaker in front of Han Ping.

When Teng Zhan took the guy away later, he bowed and apologized repeatedly, and finally kicked and scolded the guy away.

After they left, Cai Xiaoqing said quietly, "That's his brother-in-law."

Lu Heng: "..."

Because of Lu Heng's attention, the experience of Cai Xiaoqing's team, and Bayi Factory's superb technology, the filming of the scene of burning Chibi went smoothly. Although it took several days, the effect presented made even Cai Xiaoqing nod repeatedly:

"In terms of momentum and picture, the effect is better than what we had at the beginning."

Lu Heng smiled and said: "After all, seven or eight years have passed, and the technology and equipment are much better, but with your words, I feel relieved."

"You are all very attentive, which is also very important." Cai Xiaoqing added with a smile.

Even though she has already won too many honors through the 94 version of Three Kingdoms, she is still happy to participate in such a blockbuster, and then she said:

"Back then we were TV dramas. At that time, the TVs were not big, and the largest color TV was only more than 20 inches. Many places were not so detailed, and it was mainly a big scene. Now it is a movie, it is a big screen, and many details will be enlarged. It is different."

"Yeah, with such a big screen, you can see all the corners clearly, so naturally you have to pay more attention." Lu Heng said.

After filming this scene, the most difficult part was finished, and the rest continued to be filmed, from the chilly spring to the new shoots of the willow trees.

……

"Here, Xiaoming, you stop here."

"Yes, Akun, you two get closer."

"Everyone in the back, look towards the camera, don't let the people in front block your face."

"Those in front, raise your hands forward and not upward!"

"Come on, everyone—eggplant!"

"eggplant!"

"Long live the kill!"

……

With the completion of the group photo shoot, the film has officially wrapped up.

The crew got together again and held a large-scale bonfire party, eating, singing and dancing, very happy.

Sitting next to Lu Heng, Cai Xiaoqing, Liu Guanzhang and the others, drinking small beer, eating peanuts, occasionally eating a mutton skewer, and watching the singing and dancing not far away, it was quite pleasant.

Cai Xiaoqing laughed and said: "You said that you are a young boy, even if you are the boss, but you don't have the vitality that you should have as a young man. Don't you think it's strange that you always join us old guys?"

Sun Yanjun and Lu Shuming couldn't help laughing.

"Mature mentality, there is no way..." Lu Heng shook his head.

He joined in at the beginning, but after playing for a while, he found it boring. Finally, sitting here, he found it more comfortable to watch them sing and dance.

Of course, he seems to be in his early twenties, but his mental age is actually over 40.

A man in his 40s is in an awkward position, with an old man who has to go to the hospital from time to time, a young man who is either homework or school, and a wife who bothers him every day. Of course, although Lu Heng had no wife in the middle and neither was young, his mother was old.

Usually, Lu Heng was filming everywhere, and his mother was not feeling well and was even hospitalized. It was Lu Xue and her brother-in-law Zhao Zheng who went to the hospital to take care of her. However, Zhao Zheng's father died later, and the family's real estate business was also struggling.

At that time, Lu Heng could not provide anyone except money, or at that time, he felt that his career was more important. Anyway, he had his sister and brother-in-law to take care of him at home, unlike the only child who had to return. He really ignored family affection.Because of this, Lu Heng, who returned to his hometown for the first time to celebrate the New Year after his rebirth, was filled with emotion and thanked God for giving him another chance.

Thinking of this sentence, Lu Heng suddenly saw Lu Shuming next to him, and suddenly couldn't help being happy.

This old Lu is from Lu Heng's family, and the former Guan Erye is too classic. This time, the close contact, especially Zhou Yu, played by Lu Heng, had eye contact with him. The contemptuous eyes were too lethal when he was staring at him.

Lu Heng clinked a glass with him: "Uncle, come, let me toast you."

Lu Heng breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly said, "You played the Bull Demon King in the previous "A Chinese Journey to the West", right?"

"puff--"

Lu Shuming, who had just poured the wine into his mouth, spit it out in an instant, choked on it, and then looked at Lu Heng in surprise:

"how do you know?"

Sun Yanjun and Zhang Sanye Li Jingfei next to each other looked at each other and held back their smiles. In the end, Cai Xiaoqing couldn't help laughing, and a haha ​​came from her mouth.

Lu Heng smiled and said, "Your name is already on the movie, of course I know."

Lu Shuming shook his head, speechless: "These people... have told them a long time ago, don't call me by my name, really..."

Different from others, other actors, even big-name actors, want to leave their names in Zhou Xingchi's movies. Lao Lu is the only exception. After the filming was finished, he told director Liu Zhenwei: "I beg you, please don't leave my name. I thank you."

"This movie is so popular now, especially among young people." Lu Heng said.

As a post-[-]s generation, the influence of this movie is too great. Who would not recite the phrase "If God gives me another chance"... Because of this, just thinking of this sentence, I thought of this movie.

"That's true. When I went to some universities before, those students called Guan Erye to come. In the past two years, I occasionally went to some universities, and the students called the Bull Demon King to come..."

Although the influence is great, it is obvious that he still does not agree with his tone.

Sure enough, Lao Lu said again: "You may not believe it, I haven't watched his movie until now, and I don't even let my wife and children watch it."

Lu Heng said with a smile: "Guan Yufang, the first-class handsome man in ancient times, this bull demon king, is covered in hair and has a dark face. He is no different from a cow. I would not be upset if I were replaced."

"That's right, it's too ugly!" Lu Shuming agreed with a full face:

"Before filming, I had to do makeup for four or five hours. I regretted it at that time, but I had already signed an agreement with him, and Cheng Xiaodong kept persuading me from the side, saying that Hollywood actors did everything for a role, and some of them even lost their looks. They kept fooling me, and finally thought about it..."

As he said that, he saw Li Jingfei happy, Lu Shuming suddenly stared and said:

"What are you laughing at? I didn't think about it at the time. I knew I should have introduced you. You black Zhang Fei are more like the Bull Demon King."

Li Jingfei choked, then threw another peanut into his mouth, grinning and said:
"It's a pity that people want to be big and tall, but I don't have that body type."

Lu Shuming didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "It's true, when Zhang Yimou and I played "The Love of Terracotta Warriors", I played Qin Shihuang in it. At that time, it was directed by Cheng Xiaodong, so when he came to Xiying Studio with Zhou Xingchi, he came to me directly, and he couldn't hide."

Cai Xiaoqing waved her hand: "How many actors have a well-known role is great. The Bull Demon King is not good-looking, but I watched that movie on the movie channel. Although it is not the same as mainstream movies, but in terms of style, it is his unique feature. Many things in it are very advanced when you think about it carefully. It is not surprising that young people like it today."

Lu Shuming has his stubbornness: "Even if you tell him about flowers, I won't read it."

"You still say, your stubborn temper is almost like a cow." Cai Xiaoqing pointed at him.

Everyone laughed.

At this time, Lu Heng received a call from Han Ping:
"Xiao Lu, this time you let Teng Zhan's brother-in-law in because of my face. I scolded him severely. In the future, you should try to focus on your company, especially the people behind the scenes. You should rest assured that you don't need to look at my face. Everything is about quality and safety."

Lu Heng only asked that guy to spit out what he ate, and didn't hold him accountable. In fact, it was because of Han Ping's face, but now he called and said this, which Lu Heng didn't expect, but it was a surprise.

The two talked for a while, and Han Ping said that he would go back to Beijing to clean up the dust for him. Lu Heng smiled and said yes, and then hung up the phone.
