The bard wanders into the entertainment circle

Chapter 339 "Sea of ​​Flowers"

After getting on the plane, Chen Shuo and Liu Yifei took out a new script and planned to read it while they were in the sky.

Before boarding the plane, screenwriter Wang Bin handed over a new script to the two of them.

This was also printed out just before he boarded the plane.

When Chen Shuo received it, there was still a hint of warmth and the smell of ink.

Now in this script, the government in front wiped out the Feidaomen, and then found the traces of the Feidaomen, and went to Mudanfang to arrest the blind girl named Xiaomei for interrogation.

Then Chen Butou rescued him under the pseudonym Suifeng. After a life-and-death trial, the two fell in love with each other and fell in love with each other.

Then the conspiracy was uncovered, and the two separated because of the younger sister's concerns, but they couldn't help running in both directions.

Liu Butou appeared, a battle of flowers, the younger sister died, Chen Butou was heartbroken.

The plot has reached this point, and it has been more than 100 minutes, which is completely enough for the length of a movie.

Next, Catcher Liu calmed down and participated in the battle between the Zhulin government and Feidaomen.

Introduce the identity of the eldest sister, explain her ideals, and portray the conspiracy of Liu Butou and the second sister.

In a big battle, first the eldest sister tried her best to kill Mr. Yu, and then the second sister took the opportunity to attack the eldest sister.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Butou and the second sister joined forces to fight against the eldest sister.

Interspersed in the middle are some emotional entanglements among the three, the relationship between the younger sister and the older sister, Liu Butou, etc.

When they killed the seriously injured eldest sister, Suifeng, who was holding the younger sister's body, appeared with the wind, and finally killed Liu Butou and the second sister who were also seriously injured.

In the end, he buried everyone in the sea of ​​flowers, and in the afterglow of the setting sun, he inserted his weapon in front of the little sister's tomb and disappeared into the setting sun.

The whole drama lasts for more than 230 minutes, and there are many places that I want to film and many places that I want to explain.

Everything Zhang Yimou did not want to give up.

This is completely two extremes with the original prototype of this script.

At that time, the first version of the script had only 48 scenes. In his vision, each scene was a long shot with a silent and solemn atmosphere.

In the current final version, there are still many large and large scenes, but there are as many as 150 scenes.

Now that Chen Shuo has learned to adapt, he doesn't care about Zhang Yimou's filming and post-production editing.

As long as there is no big problem with the logic of the story, he will write down his role and act it seriously.

This time, he took it as accumulating experience in filming and doing his part as an actor.

Except for the performance part, I don't ask much about the others.

After reading the script, I discussed with Liu Yifei how to express the revised part, and the two looked out the window together.

"This is the first time for me to go abroad, and it feels a bit strange." Chen Shuo said in an inexplicable tone, looking at the earth below.

He remembered the experience when he and Wu Qi went to Xiangjiang for the first time. At that time, Wu Qi was also emotional when he came to Xiangjiang for the first time.

And I also said at the time that I asked him to think about where the passport he obtained would be used.

Unexpectedly, only a year and a half later, the two flew to Ukraine by plane.

"I've always flown on the sea before, and it's the first time I've flown so long on land." Liu Yifei lay on Chen Shuo's body, looked at the rolling peaks below from the window, and felt a burst of curiosity.

The mountains are emerald and surging, rolling like towering mountains.

Under the cover of white clouds, looking at the mountains, rivers and land like galloping horses below, it is really unique.

"Does that look like a dragon to you?"

"where?"

"Look at that mountain range. The one near the river is the dragon's head, the two steep peaks behind it are the dragon's horns, and the winding ridge behind it is the dragon's back."

"You really sound like..."

At the beginning, the two looked at the scenery below with enthusiasm, especially Chen Shuo, who was very curious about it, watching the plane cross the entire land of mountains and rivers from east to west.

However, as time went by, the two of them gradually lost their energy, and they sat for too long.

Others are experienced and have already rested in their seats.

Seeing this, the two followed suit, lying on the chair, pulling down the blindfold to rest.

Two days later, on the night of September 9th, after experiencing some ups and downs, everyone finally arrived at the destination of the trip.

Lviv city in Ukraine.

The crew rented a place similar to a holiday villa as the crew's residence.

After arriving at the place, Chen Shuo and others began to allocate housing according to the arrangement of the field affairs.

The next day, without asking any questions, Zhang Yimou invited people to see his flower sea together.

In October last year, he came to Ukraine, spent [-] dollars to hire local people, and planted a sea of ​​flowers according to his requirements.

Originally in April this year, he wanted to take a look.

To prevent the story of the original filming of Red Sorghum.

In 87, in order to shoot red sorghum, he found someone to plant 4 acres of sorghum in Gaomi, Shandong Province, and spent [-] yuan.

The seeds selected by the crew were planted by others. However, in the end, the sorghum on the 50 mu of land was replaced by others, and the sorghum planted did not meet the standard.

When frantically watering and fertilizing to remedy the situation, some people even pulled the chemical fertilizer into the sorghum field, and then pulled the chemical fertilizer back home after going around two miles.

All kinds of things make people dumbfounded.

This time, he was always worried that Huahai would not meet his requirements, and he always wanted to come and see.

However, things did not go as planned. At the beginning of the year, the situation was tense and it was difficult to go anywhere, let alone go abroad.

It was originally planned to start the operation in June and July, but it has been postponed until now. It was not until before they set off that they got their visas.

Zhang Yimou took the car to the flower field that he set up last year with anxiety, but he had a bad feeling in his heart before he arrived at the place.

When I got out of the car, I saw the flower field that he was thinking about so much, I didn't feel uneasy anymore, and felt completely chilled.

"You can't say it's not a field of flowers, it has flowers.

But there are only flowers growing on the grass, it is not a sea of ​​flowers.

Not even half, or even one-fifth, of what we had envisioned. "

"At that time, [-] flower seedlings were planted, but none have grown yet..."

"..."

Zhang Yimou listened to the conversation between the production director Zhang Zhenyan and the translator, but he was thinking about how to remedy it.

He is not a person who gives up lightly. Now the crew has arrived and is preparing to start filming.

But the sea of ​​flowers, which occupies an important part in the play, is gone, gone.

He has to find it.

Right now this piece of land is hopeless, so we can only find another place.

He walked around in the "sea of ​​flowers" and looked at the wilted flowers. The color looked very nice, and it fit the picture in his mind.

But right now the knee-high grass is unusable.

After looking around, he beckoned everyone to leave.

"You listen to what he says, 'Put some fertilizer and it will grow in half a month.' You can't believe it at all.

In this situation, how dare you tell me to believe it?
The only way now is to look for it, to find a sea of ​​flowers that can replace it.

......"
