The King of Directors 2000

Chapter 85
At 2001 o'clock in the morning on April 4, 10, the temperature in Harbin was eight degrees, and the sun hung high in the sky.

The small courtyard in front of the seven-level Buddha Pagoda in the famous scenic spot of Kele Temple in Nangang District of Harbin City has been sealed off, and ordinary tourists are not allowed to enter.

The reason for this is because the crew of "Winter Sonata" was filming in it.

This is a matter of publicizing the scenic spots in Harbin, and the above naturally allows it.

This episode is actually not difficult, that is, the relationship between the male and female protagonists was confirmed. After the male protagonist was hit by a car for the second time, he retrieved some memories from ten years ago. The two returned to the place where they used to go to school. They were in a good mood. Have a snowball fight wherever the snowflakes fly.

The Korean version just chose a mountain forest and let the hero and heroine play in it.

But since Li Shengyao accepted the 100 million from Blackwater Satellite TV, he naturally wanted to help promote Harbin City.

Like this scene, he planned to shoot it inside the Kek Lok Si Temple.

The history of Kek Le Temple is not long, it was only built in the 20s, but this temple covers a very large area and has excellent scenery. It is one of the four major temples in Northeast China.

Not only this scene, but also a follow-up scene, Lee Sing Yew also plans to shoot at Kek Lok Si.

The male protagonist in the Korean version thinks the female protagonist is his own sister, and he is very angry. As if he lost his mind, he takes the female protagonist to church and wants to make a private appointment for life.

Now that Li Shengyao is here to shoot, it is naturally impossible to set a private life in the church. He plans to put it in the Kek Lok Si Temple, so that Guanyin and the temple bells can witness the exciting moment of the hero and heroine.

At this point the workers are ready.

"No. 20 five scenes, the first shot, start."

The snow machine was started, and snowflakes were falling one after another. In front of the huge seven-level pagoda, a man and a woman looked at each other affectionately.

Then the girl smiled mischievously, bent down and grabbed a snowball, and threw it at the boy...

Li Shengyao sat behind the director's monitor, frowning slightly.

There is absolutely no problem with Kek Lok Si Temple, the temple is beautiful, the problem is that they didn't shoot it well.

In the shot just now, it can't be said to be bad, it can only be said to be too ordinary, and it didn't achieve the effect Li Shengyao imagined.

After he called to stop, he first asked the makeup artist to touch up his makeup, and then walked up to Liu Sheng.

"I think we just didn't get it right."

Liu Sheng looked at Li Shengyao puzzled, he felt that he was already pretty enough.

Li Shengyao pointed to the seven-level pagoda, "Look at how beautiful this temple is, can we take better pictures, but we didn't."

Upon hearing this, Liu Sheng understood what Li Shengyao meant, and then said: "The temple is so big, if we have a plane to take aerial photos, it will be very beautiful."

Of course they don't have planes.

But it doesn't mean they can't take better pictures.

Li Shengyao smiled, "Let's take a walk."

He then walked around the yard, first on the left side of the yard, where the sun was behind.

Li Shengyao looked at it for a while, then shook his head.

He then went to the right side of the yard, facing the sun.

At this time, there was sunshine, and the warm sunlight fell on the ground through the clouds.

Bai Xue looked extraordinarily white.

The shadow of the seven-story pagoda slanted down, black and white interlaced, full of artistic conception.

"It's rare to have sunshine today, we must take advantage of it."

Just now they placed the camera directly in front of the seven-story pagoda, and under the camera, the characters were half-lighted.

This camera position can take a more complete picture of the seven-story pagoda.

At this time, Li Shengyao discovered that if they shoot against the light, the effect may be better. The snowflakes are crystal clear in the sun and have a more artistic conception.

"We can shoot in this position and let the sunlight in."

Liu Sheng was taken aback, "Is there sunshine when it snows?"

"Of course there is. Just like when it rains, there is sunshine, and sometimes there is sunshine when it snows. This is called sun snow, but there are relatively few such cases."

Li Shengyao is the director, so Liu Sheng naturally wouldn't refuse.

So the field workers made preparations again, and soon after, the hero and heroine were still standing under the seven-level pagoda, behind them was the shadow of the pagoda, and the two of them also had shadows.

Snowflakes are flying, two people, three shadows, playing in the snow.

Crystal light-reflecting snowflakes surround them.

Li Shengyao sat behind the director's monitor and clapped his hands in satisfaction, "Okay, two more shots."

Liu Sheng was also very satisfied with the scene just now, and gave Li Shengyao a thumbs up from a distance.

Soon after the filming was over, the crew called it a day.

Li Shengyao asked others to go back first, and he and Liu Sheng stayed for a few laps.

There is also a plot, that is, the scene where the hero and heroine privately decide their lives. It was one night, and the hero brought the heroine out overnight.

At that time, we must take pictures of the Kek Lok Si Temple at night.

Li Shengyao was going to see how to set up the plane more beautifully.

"If we can take aerial photos, from far to near, first to the Kek Lok Si Temple, and then locked on the male and female protagonists, it will be a good shot to capture the insignificance and fragility of this young couple."

Liu Sheng sighed, he still thinks aerial photography is the best.

Li Shengyao shook his head, "Harbor is too cold, we'd better not use the helicopter."

He didn't know much about the flight requirements of a helicopter, but he knew that it was dangerous to use a helicopter in a cold place.

Their next filming at the Kek Lok Si Temple will be a night scene, and the temperature in Harbin will be minus one or two degrees, and since the sight cannot be seen at night, he will not do dangerous things.

Liu Sheng nodded and said no more.

Li Shengyao led Liu Sheng all the way to the back of Kek Lok Si Temple, but still couldn't find a good shooting spot.

He looked around and found a big mountain outside the temple.

"What's the place over there?"

"It's a cultural park, and the scenery inside is very nice, but there are many beautiful places in Harbin, so I didn't choose it."

Li Shengyao nodded, then pointed to the mountain next to the temple, "Is it possible to photograph the entire temple there?"

"OK."

Judging from Li Shengyao's position, the mountain was so high that the entire temple could indeed be photographed.

But still going there to see if I can set up a camera.

"Let's go and see."

The cultural park is not free, a ticket of one yuan per person.

Li Shengyao and the others didn't know the direction. After searching for more than ten minutes, they finally found the mountain they had just seen. Then they climbed to the top of the mountain and found that the location was very good, wide and flat, and they could set up a plane seat.

Li Shengyao didn't immediately determine the location, he led Liu Sheng down the mountain, looked over step by step, and finally stopped at the stone steps 30 meters away from the top of the mountain.

"The aircraft stand can be set up here. This place is closer to the Kek Lok Si Temple, and the picture will be more beautiful."

The entire Kek Lok Si Temple can be photographed from the top of the mountain and here.

If the top of the mountain is farther away, the temple looks smaller, but if it is closer, Kek Lok Si Temple looks bigger and more majestic, and the effect will be better.

In Liu Sheng's heart, he was moved by Li Shengyao's dedicated and responsible attitude, and he was also very excited.

"Director Li, we will apply to the park to take pictures of the Kek Lok Si Temple at night."

"Well, let's go."

The sun fell through the branches and leaves and shone on the body, which was extraordinarily warm.

Standing on the hillside, Li Shengyao overlooked the entire Kek Lok Si Temple, and his heart was full of pride. He clapped his hands, "We will definitely be able to make this drama very beautiful."
