China Entertainment Mythology 2004

Chapter 2 Hurricane Rescue
On the morning of July 2004, 8.

The staff of the museum held a meeting with the main creators of the "Mythology" crew. Li Yuansheng, the deputy curator of the museum, once again emphasized the precautions during filming, and emphasized that no one should enter the pit without the permission of the museum.

After the meeting, Cheng Long and the main creators of the crew were about to leave the meeting room and go to the figurine pit to arrange the shooting, but Li Yuansheng quietly called Cheng Long to the side.

"Mr. Cheng Long, I have some personal matters and would like to trouble you."

Cheng Long said with a smile: "Director Li, you are welcome. The filming of "Mythology" cannot be separated from the strong support of Director Li. I will remember your kindness. If you have something to say, I will definitely help if I can."

Li Yuan said: "It's nothing serious. My child Li Mu is a die-hard fan of yours. He has liked your works very much since he was a child. There are posters of yours everywhere in his house. He usually likes to write scripts or something. This time I heard that You came to Xijing to film a movie, and you happened to be in the museum, so you insisted on pestering me to ask me to hand over the script he wrote to you and ask you to help check it."

"Of course, I also know that the filming cycle is very tight this time. The left and right are just scripts written by children. You can read them if you have time. If you don't have time, it's okay. Work is important, and Li Mu can understand."

When Cheng Long heard it, he said on the spot: "It's a good thing that a child likes to write scripts, unlike my kid, who knows how to party and mess around with a bunch of friends all day long. If he can calm down and write scripts, I will wake up laughing from my dreams." , did you bring the script?"

Li Yuansheng immediately took out the script from his bag and handed it to Cheng Long.

After Cheng Long took over the script, he said with a smile: "I'll watch it when I return to the hotel at night. If the child has this hobby, we parents should encourage it more."

Li Yuansheng nodded with a smile and said, "Then I'm sorry to trouble you, my child doesn't know how excited he will be when he hears his idol show him the script."

Cheng Longdao: "It's a good thing for children to like to write scripts, but the most important thing is to keep their feet on the ground. Even if they encounter setbacks, they will move forward bravely. Like when I was young, I fell from a high place while filming, and it was commonplace to break my limbs. Which ribs on my body Have you never broken? It is not easy to do any line of work, and at the same time the most important thing to do in any line of work is always to dare to think and do it, and to be able to persevere.”

"I will definitely read the script, and I will read it carefully, but let's talk about it first. If there is something wrong with the script, I will not be merciful. The boy just picks up nice things to say, and anyone who knows me knows that I am like this, what I think in my heart, I say what I say."

Li Yuan said:

"You are so right. To tell you the truth, I have exactly the same temper as you. The child asked you to help me read the script. I was asking you to point out the fault. If you want someone to praise you, you don't need to bother Mr. Cheng Long." .”

……

The production crew arrived at Pit No. 3 at 9:1 am to set the scene, and began trial play and filming at [-]:[-] am.At around [-]:[-] p.m., the crew began to officially shoot.

In the afternoon, Li Mu also followed his father Li Yuansheng to Pit No. [-]. At this time, Cheng Long was instructing the crew to make preparations. When he saw Li Mu who was following Li Yuansheng, he waved to him.

Li Mu and his father walked over with a smile. When they reached Cheng Long, Li Mu called Uncle Cheng Long politely.

In fact, with Li Mu's mental age and habits, he should be called Brother Cheng Long. Everyone in the entertainment industry is called Brother Cheng Long, but seeing that his father and Cheng Long are called brothers, he can't call him Big Brother.

Cheng Long smiled and said to Li Yuan: "You are so handsome, I think it is enough to be a star, but writing scripts and working behind the scenes is a waste of talent."

Li Yuan said with a smile: "It's not something ordinary people can be a star. I'm satisfied that this kid can support himself. I don't even dare to dream of being a star."

Cheng Long said with a smile: "It's hard to say, I dropped out of school in the first grade, and later I became a martial arts teacher. At that time, even if I was killed, I couldn't believe that I would be where I am today. Who can tell the fate of people, maybe Luck arrived, and with a bang, I suddenly got up."

Li Yuan laughed and said, "Then I will lend you a good word."

As he spoke, Li Yuan waved his hand, called Li Mu to him, and said with a straight face, "You will stay on the set for a few days and help Uncle Cheng Long as a group performer. It is very useful, you know?"

"understood."

All the scenes shot in the figurine pit were very simple, but because of the special environment, it took more than half a day.

During the filming, the museum was open as usual, and Li Mu heard tourists talking about it.

It is said that the terracotta warriors and horses have never allowed tourists to take pictures, and the strong lighting of the crew during filming may damage the terracotta warriors and horses.

Tourists even questioned the museum directly. Some tourists were worried that if the crew accidentally damaged the terracotta warriors beside them, they also hoped that the museum could give an explanation.

Director Tang Jili heard the tourists' doubts, and his face was a little worried, because he was afraid that there would be another change in the shooting.

This time, he first applied to the museum, and after the museum declined, he flew to Beijing to find the museum's superiors, and only then did he get permission to shoot.

However, it can also be seen from this that the museum was not in favor of this filming. It was ordered by the superiors to suppress it, so it reluctantly agreed. Now that the tourists raised questions, he was afraid that the museum would take the opportunity to appeal to the superiors.

Then Li Yuansheng personally explained to the tourists: Three months after the terracotta warriors and horses were unearthed, the surface has been completely oxidized, and no matter how strong the light is now, it will not have a major impact on it.

As for the question raised by tourists about what to do if the crew accidentally damaged the terracotta warriors, Li Yuansheng could only answer from the side, saying that the museum has done its best to protect the safety of the terracotta warriors.

After all, the possibility of actors accidentally damaging the terracotta warriors and horses when they went down to shoot in the pits of the terracotta warriors and horses cannot be fundamentally eliminated. No one can guarantee this.

But after seeing Li Yuansheng patiently explaining to the tourists, Tang Jili felt relieved.

As long as the museum leaders don't report to their superiors with embellishments, it won't hurt at all if tourists question a few words.

The shooting time of the crew was strictly limited, and the crew finished work on time at 6 pm.After dinner, director Tang Jili, screenwriters Wang Huili, Li Haishu, and coordinator Huang Yanli went to Cheng Long's room to discuss shooting matters.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, everyone left Cheng Long's room. Cheng Long lay on the bed and watched TV. Halfway through, he suddenly remembered the script that Li Yuansheng asked him to read.

The filming of the film crew is inseparable from the support of the museum. He promised that if the other party wants to give some pointers, he must do it, or he would not promise others at that time.

So he called his assistant and asked him to send the script. In the morning, he was busy shooting, so he gave the script to the assistant.

Soon the assistant brought the script over, and Cheng Long lay on the bed with a pillow behind him, and slowly opened the script.

"Taken? A disaster movie?"
