Chapter 23 I want to fight ten

Jiang Shengli went to the town government to learn about the adoption requirements.

Jiang Liu took Yan Yan and other people and equipment to Jiangdu government office.

The Jiangdu government office was built in the third year of Hongwu. It contains offices for officials, etiquette, households, soldiers, criminal justice, engineering and other departments, as well as official residences.

What Jiang Liu wants to go to is the torture chamber. The placement of a prison warden in the torture chamber just meets Jiang Liu's needs.

"Director Jiang, your graduation work is a masterpiece."

At the door of the government office, Yan Yan looked at Jiang Liu who was putting on a wig in the van, smearing makeup and posing in front of the mirror.

Jiang Liu glared thoughtfully: "Don't use it, put on your makeup and change clothes quickly. It will benefit you in the future."

He used his graduation work to deceive Yan Yan and others and worked secretly for dozens of days. During this period, he shot at least four to five 10-minute scenes. Even a fool could sense that something was wrong.

Jiang Liu didn't want to hide it anymore.

But he didn't tell Yan Yan and others what he was doing. He just kept promising benefits.

In 2000, the government office had not been recognized as a national key protected unit by the country, nor was it even a provincial protected unit. This vicissitudes of life and old building were still a resting place for vendors and a playground for children.

So after Jiang Liu called for people to film for 30 yuan a day, a crowd of people suddenly gathered in front of him.

Jiang Liu selected twenty people, the ones with quick wits and courage to play the roles of jailers, and some others to play the roles of death row prisoners, while the remaining people maintained order at the scene.

According to the plot of "One Man Martial Arts", there should be a female police officer in the prison. The female police officer wanted to arrest Feng Yuxiu, so she took Xia Houwu out of the prison.

Jiang Liu had previously thought about using a female detective to replace the female police officer, so that he could add a female character to the movie and have one more attraction.

But he finally gave up. There were few girls in the crew, and every move attracted attention, so he couldn't take risks.

Jiang Liu kept doing this and changed the plot of Xia Houwu breaking out of the prison to save his junior sister to saving his junior brother.

Teaching ordinary people to act is the most difficult thing. It took Jiang Liu several hours to teach five jailers to recite lines and perform tricks. It was almost dark, and the crowd of spectators felt bored and dispersed, so a group of people entered the government office.

"Turn on the lights, it's dark and scary."

After seeing the gray-brown blood stains left on the guillotine, Yan Yan screamed sharply as soon as he entered the cell.

The diesel lamp was lit, and Jiang Liu and Lin Yan, who played the role of a death row prisoner, entered the selected cell.

Before the fight started here, some people started shouting that they should stop shooting and wanted to go home for dinner after dark. Jiang Liu was speechless and raised the price to 50 yuan.

"Jin Yan, we are almost ready. Let us know immediately and we will start filming immediately."

"Immediately, immediately, Baoqiang remember to hide in the dark and don't let the camera catch your face. I hope these extra actors will make the filming of the fight scene pornographic."

After another 10 minutes, Yan Yan finally asked everyone to prepare.

With the sound of "Start shooting", Jiang Liu and Wang Baoqiang quickly exchanged blows. Two pairs of gloves fired more than ten moves. Jiang Liu turned his fist to the swarming group of performers.

Block, block, hit, kick, sweep, throw
In the camera, Jiang Liu was beating fiercely, but he had already cursed in his heart: "Damn it, I will never hire an extra as a martial artist again in this life."

"Okay, stop, prepare for the next shot."

Yan Yan called a halt, and Jiang Liu and the others rubbed their arms and legs with grins on their faces.

The so-called next shot means that the camera changes its position and the person continues shooting.

At this moment, Jiang Liu could only complain that he had "brought it to himself". He set the time for the cell fight scene to be a full five minutes.

"bang"

"what"

"Uh"

"Who else? I'm going to hit ten more!"

Yan Yan curled his lips and turned off the camera after Jiang Liu secretly added a scene: "Okay, I will take the next shot during the break."

The filming lasted until noon the next day, and all the cell plots of "Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger" were completed, with a total filming time of 13 minutes.During this period, Jiang Shengli and Li Qin came once to deliver food. They were shocked when they saw their son's work. They couldn't understand it but found it very magical.

Before going to Yangzhou, Jiang Liu asked Jiang Shengli about adopting Lu Ting.

Jiang Shengli looked relaxed and said there was no problem at all.

Jiang Liu felt relieved. Since Jiang Shengli said there was no problem, there must be no problem.

Thirty years ago, the Jiang family was considered a well-known family in Jiangdu. Jiang Liu's grandparents had participated in the War of Liberation and the War of Resistance Against Japan, and had been serving in Jiangdu since the founding of the country.

Due to many hidden illnesses, not long after Jiang Liu was born, two elderly people passed away one after another, leaving behind his only son, Jiang Shengli, and a family of three.

The old man died early and could not fully benefit the future generations. In 98, the wave of layoffs came, and Jiang Shengli and Li Qin became part of the wave of layoffs.

Li Qin has a quick mind and fell in love with the green goods business after being laid off.

Jiang Shengli has a righteous heart, and the couple complement each other and make the green goods business prosperous.

"Lu Ting, you should be able to go to school in the summer. Study hard. I'm leaving."

Lu Ting, who was beside Li Qin, had tears in her eyes: "Brother, goodbye!"

Jiang Liu touched Lu Ting's head affectionately and said to his parents, "Mom and Dad, I'm leaving. Don't save money. If you run out of money, tell me."

Li Qin didn't have the consciousness to save face for her son: "Okay, I'll give you 1 yuan first. It just so happens that Tingting needs tuition fees for school."

"You're celebrating the Chinese New Year, I'll give you 1 yuan for sure when you come back during the Chinese New Year." Jiang Liu waved his hand and ran away before getting into the van.

Jiang Liu and his party entered Yangzhou City at nightfall.

When they arrived in Yangzhou, everyone did not stop to rest and drove to Hanjiang District where Slender West Lake is located.

After eating and staying at a hotel called Cuizhu, Jiang Liu put together the approval documents he needed during the day.

Slender West Lake is a national 5A-level scenic spot and will be included in the World Heritage List by UNESCO in the future. When filming in Slender West Lake, the crew must first report to the local Culture and Tourism Bureau, and then communicate with the scenic spot about the shooting time. Place.

But there is a saying that goes well, when money stands up and speaks, even the truth must be silent.

Nowadays, people’s awareness of protecting scenic spots is very weak.

Even if someone realizes that the things left by their ancestors need to be protected, it is difficult to speak up, so a little money can easily change some rules.

After a few years, the Internet entered thousands of households, the voice of online media became louder, and with the help of the keen eyes of netizens, the protection of scenic spots gradually received attention.

Jiang Liu remembered that when the great director Zhang Jizhong was filming a certain TV series, he was sprayed in the shit by netizens because the crew destroyed the ecology of the Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area, leaving him in disgrace.

Early the next morning, Jiang Liu went to the Ministry of Culture and Tourism to report and strictly took people into the scenic spot to shoot scenes.

The two met at noon and went to contact us to rent sedan chairs, boats and other props.

Seeing the tall cruise ship on Slender West Lake, Jiang Liu's eyes lit up. He excitedly patted Wang Baoqiang on the shoulder and said, "We have a place for our final battle."

Yan Yan, Wang Baoqiang: "Huh?"

The final battle between Xia Houwu and Feng Yuxiu in "One Man's Martial Arts" took place on the road.

The director of the original film wanted to stimulate the audience's senses with fierce fighting and the dangers brought by fast-moving cars.

Changing to a period film, Jiang Liu originally wanted to replace the final battle with a walking carriage or running horses.

Now, he has a new idea, replacing horses and carriages with sailing boats.

This change not only increased safety but also made it more affordable. He no longer had to spend personal money to rent horses.

Moreover, the fighting scenes on Slender West Lake are even more beautiful, with willow branches hanging upside down on both sides of the lake, colorful flowers everywhere, and the lake water is clear.

Jiang Liu simulated the shooting method in his mind:
Drill pillars on both sides of the lake, hang wires, and put wires on the wires. Put small boat stations on both sides of the lake to control the movement of wires. The actors are on the water and the photographers are on the big boats.

"That's it." Jiang Liu struck with both palms and laughed.
