Chapter 917 A Little Surprise

Among the three directors of "King Kong River", Guo Fan was the fastest to finish filming. He finished filming and returned the day after the National Day, but he did not return to Mengying Media and went directly to Tiancai Special Effects.

Because among the three people, he has the most post-production special effects, and there are only more than two weeks left until the final release date.

Fortunately, because post-production and filming were carried out at the same time, the special effects CG shots had already been made when the official start of filming, including the preparation of assets, such as going to Dandong to scan the entire terrain, mountains, rivers, etc., including all the props.
"how's it going?"

Li Mu also went to Tiancai and looked at the engineers who were working in a hurry, and couldn't help but ask.

"It should be no problem. Director Guo has the most shots, but luckily Director Guo finished filming early, so some of the work has been done. The remaining parts for Director Wu and Director Lu don't have many shots, so it will be done quickly."

The person in charge of the later stage also reported the current progress in front of Li Mu and Guo Fan.

"Okay, after these busy days, everyone can take a day off. Thank you for your hard work."

Li Mu nodded. During the National Day period, everyone did not have a holiday, so they had to make up for it after they were busy.

"As for Wu Jing and Lu Yang, how much work did they have left when you came back?" Li Mu then asked Guo Fan.

"Lu Yang will be faster. I expect him to be back this week. As for Wu Jing, if nothing unexpected happens, it will be around Monday or Tuesday next week. We still have enough time."

Just as Guo Fan finished saying this, a phone call came to Guo Fan.

"Wu Jing's," Guo Fan said subconsciously, then answered the phone. His face suddenly became serious. "Director Li is here too. Director Wu, I'll put you on speakerphone. Please say it again."

Li Mu was stunned for a moment. This was an emergency.

“Director Lu, Director Guo, this is what happened. When we started filming, the local government had already reminded us to pay attention to the weather in Dandong, because September is the local flood season every year, and there was very little rain in the first half of this year, so floods are expected in the second half of the year.

We have also made some preparations based on previous years’ experience. The wooden bridge we built for the show is nearly 2 meters higher than the concrete bridge, but

"How is it now? Are the crew members okay?" Upon hearing this, Li Mu was concerned about their condition first.

"No problem. We have already made preparations for this. It's just that this time it's a little extreme. The production department currently has a small team stationed on the mountain near the river bank, ready to report any situation to the large team waiting in the hotel to start work."

The sound of Wu Jing's microphone was mixed with the sound of heavy rain.

"So, Director Wu, do you have any tasks to cross the river for filming now?" As the chief director, Guo Fan naturally had to make arrangements and asked immediately.

"Another point."

"Make a plan. For example, if we want to cross the river to shoot, how do we transport the equipment? What is the load-bearing capacity of the floating bridge? All the calculations have been done.

Then go back tomorrow to see how wide the river is. If that doesn't work, try another location.

By the way, let’s see if it will affect the filming for a few days and whether it will cause a delay in the final filming time.”

In fact, generally speaking, the shooting schedule is very tight and no changes are allowed. If there is a slight change, such as adjusting a scene, you will need to spend a week to catch up with the change.

However, "King Kong River" obviously cannot be operated in this way. It is necessary to respond to any changes that may occur at any time and anywhere.

“It will probably affect two days of filming.”

After Wu Jing silently estimated, he gave a time.

"That's good!" Guo Fan breathed a sigh of relief, "Director Wu, you guys should respond immediately and make a plan as soon as possible."

"It's a good thing that you, senior brother, bought some time, otherwise the pressure would have increased again." Guo Fan was a little relieved at this moment, otherwise he would have to compress the time again.

"We were designed to deal with these special situations. There is no such thing as a smooth shoot, so bumps and bruises are inevitable."

Li Mu was not surprised. With a crew of several thousand people and being outdoors, all kinds of situations could happen, and it was reasonable to reserve some time to guard against risks.

After dealing with many matters, I opened the door and was greeted by the autumn breeze of October.

This is probably the most comfortable wind, neither as hot as summer nor as cold as winter.

It’s just that the sunset came earlier than usual, and the dusk setting on this bustling street made people feel a little regretful that no one stopped to watch such a beautiful scene.

Because most pedestrians were in a hurry, Li Mu was no exception. He drove directly to go home.

When I drove into the yard, the fallen leaves were crushed by the car and made a tiny crunching sound, which sounded quite pleasant.

The little bun ran over happily and reached out for a hug.

"Where's mom?"

"Mom is reading a book, and I can't understand it."

"It's okay. You'll slowly be able to understand it when you go to elementary school." Li Mu smiled, then carried the little kid into the living room. At this time, Liu Yifei was holding a book and reading it with relish. There were also two red invitation letters on the table.

"Hmm?" Li Mu thought about it for a moment, but couldn't think of what it was. He put the bun down and asked Liu Yifei, "What are you looking at?"

"Hehe, look at you."

Liu Yifei smiled softly, but seeing some doubt in Li Mu's eyes, she raised the book in her hand and said, "The school published a book. It will be the 70th anniversary in two weeks, so they published a 70th anniversary alumni memoir "Light and Shadow Stories". You see, you are in the C position, and so are Director Zhang and Director Chen."

Liu Yifei waved her hand and asked Li Mu to come over and take a look. She also pointed to the dozens of tasks on the cover. The ones in the middle were Li Mu, Zhang Yi and Chen Kaige.

The people on the cover are obviously very important in the film and television industry. Huang Xiaoming and Chen Kun can only be ranked in the corners, and the closer to the center, the greater the influence.

"Is this the seventieth anniversary?"

Li Mu was stunned for a moment. There was nothing good to see on the cover, but time seemed to pass too quickly, so quickly that he arrived at the 70th anniversary of Beijing Film Academy in a trance.

You should know that the last time he attended the school anniversary was the 60th anniversary. He did not attend the 65th anniversary because Liu Yifei was pregnant.

"Yeah, I never imagined it, time goes by so fast."

Liu Yifei couldn't help but sigh, "But the story in the book about you is not as detailed as mine, and he didn't write a lot of it down."

"It's not just my autobiography, so just write a rough outline." Li Mu smiled slightly when he heard this, then gently stroked Liu Yifei's head, "Are you going back this time?"

"Go back. We have time anyway. Don't you want to go?" Liu Yifei tilted her head and looked at Li Mu.

"No, I just want to ask for your opinion."

Li Mu looked at the golden characters on the two red invitations on the table, and couldn't help but think of the two numbers in the future, which would only get bigger and bigger, and would never return to their original appearance.
