Chapter 1628 The Last Group of Shots (Below)
? When Li Mu saw old man Sun Xiaozhong again, his physical condition was much better than when he first saw him in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
The old man, who was originally hunched, thin and old, spent this period of time in the cadre rest center with his old comrades. He had a diet and a professional health care doctor, and his body was almost rejuvenated.
When Toyota Coaster of the Military Relief Center stopped at the entrance of the Martyrs' Cemetery, Sun Xiaozhong didn't even use crutches or any auxiliary tools, and walked out of the car easily.
Seeing Li Mu, the old man Sun Xiaozhong was very happy. He got out of the car and went straight to Li Mu. When Li Mu saw this, he hurried up to meet him, shook hands with the old man, and asked with concern, "Grandpa Sun, you are in good health recently. Bar?"
"Very good, very good! Thank you for your concern!" Elder Sun Xiaozhong held Li Mu's hand and nodded repeatedly.
When Li Mu and a group of reporters and soldiers appeared in front of the old man, the old man never thought that this young man would bring such an earth-shaking change to his life.
After leaving the mountain, he recuperated his body in the dry rest center while taking this opportunity to make up for the new things he had missed in the mountains for so many years. Gradually, he learned about Li Mu's true identity, the work that Li Mu was engaged in, and what he had obtained. Achievements, and a little more admiration for the young Li Mu.
The old man Han Zili also walked out with the help of his own children and grandchildren. Seeing Li Mu, he was also very cordial.
In fact, in the eyes of these old Flying Tigers, Li Mu is very important. They all feel that if there is no Li Mu, I am afraid that the heroic deeds of the Flying Tigers in those days will not be discovered by future generations. Maybe when future generations really think about this history, these old people may have already been buried.
Moreover, if it wasn't for Li Mu's efforts to promote the Veteran Undying Foundation, the lives of these old Flying Tigers would not have changed as much as they are now. What's more, many old comrades in arms that they have never seen again in their entire lives, because of Li Mu's efforts Reunion, for these elderly people, there is nothing more gratifying than finding Brother Paoze who fought side by side.
While Li Mu was chatting with the two old men, Spielberg also greeted them and took the initiative to say hello to the two old men Sun Xiaozhong and Han Zili in a non-standard Chinese pronunciation.
The two old people also greeted him very warmly, and even chatted with him a few words in English.
Among the old Chinese Flying Tigers, the penetration rate of English was infinitely close to 100%. After all, those who could be selected to enter the Central Aviation School and the Flying Tigers were all elite talents at that time. Chennault went to various instructors, logistics, and maintenance,
Almost all of them are Americans, and their teaching and teaching materials are basically in English, so the English of these elderly people is still very good, and normal communication, reading and writing are not a problem at all.
Li Mu asked Spielberg in surprise: "How did you meet the two old gentlemen?"
Spielberg said with a smile: "During the interval between filming, we went to a few dry breaks and asked these old gentlemen for some details of the year, including their daily training process, combat process, and some details in life. , and even the tactics formulated by General Chennault in the Flying Tigers. These are all restored based on the information provided to us by the old gentlemen. Therefore, in our movies, the restoration of the real combat history can reach almost 95%. above."
Speaking, Spielberg added: "Including the airstrip we used for shooting, it was also restored according to the descriptions of the old gentlemen. When it was first built, several old gentlemen have visited the scene and gave them Very sure."
Li Mu nodded, smiled and said to the two old people, "Mr. Sun and Mr. Han, thank you for your help to the crew."
The old man Sun Xiaozhong hurriedly said: "These are all things we should do. You have invested so much money to photograph our history. Even if we donate this old bone, it is obligatory."
Li Mu couldn't help but sigh that for the veterans, what they really care about is not necessarily the improvement of the quality of life, but people's memory of that period of history.
The ancestors of the revolution threw their heads and blood for the nation and the country, not for how much subsidy they could get every month when they were old, but to save the nation and the country from danger. The only requirement of the age is not to forget the war, not to forget these martyrs who fought bloody in the war, and not to forget the lessons of the war.
Although Li Mu was not a belligerent personally, he had always been in awe of the wars of the past, so he was also in awe of these veterans of the older generation.
After the two old men arrived, the Flying Tigers team members who were specially invited from the United States also rushed to the scene from the hotel in Spring City one after another. Spielberg began to devote himself to the final preparations before the shooting, and communicated with the photographer about the scene at the cemetery. What camera position, perspective, and lens language should be used.
Leonardo, Du Wei, and Anne Hathaway had also finished their make-up and walked out of the tent. When they saw the three people with white hair and wrinkled faces, Li Mu was speechless in shock. I really didn't expect that Hollywood's stylists could be so ingenious. Several young people in their youth were turned into three gray-haired and dying old men, and there was no sense of disobedience.
More importantly, these three people are not only old and have no sense of disobedience, but also retain their own facial features very well. You can see the original shadow of the three people at a glance, which is slightly different from their normal appearance. In comparison, you may even feel that when they are old, they should be like this.
Ning Hao whispered beside Li Mu, "Mr. Li, the special makeup artists in the tent are all hired from Hollywood. The three of them will spend an average of 15,000 dollars each for their aging makeup. , This does not include the cost of air tickets and accommodation for them, although domestic makeup artists can also apply makeup for the elderly, but compared with Hollywood, it is indeed a little less interesting."
The 15,000 US dollars at this time, converted into RMB, was almost 130,000, which was equivalent to the three of them, each of whom had a car glued to his face.
Li Mu was also surprised, and blurted out, "Why is this kind of makeup so expensive?"
Ning Hao said: "This is the normal price in Hollywood, and the special shape is most afraid of excellence. If you want to fool yourself, it is very cheap, but if you want to shoot without fault, the money in it will be gone, so this Hollywood shoot Movies do burn money, and for a few seconds of footage, there may be tens of millions of dollars burned behind the scenes.”
Li Mu nodded in agreement, any service at the top level would become sky-high, and he knew exactly what you get for every penny, and two for every dollar.
When Du Wei saw Li Mu, he was still jogging happily all the way, and came directly to Li Mu, and called out to Li Mu's brother.
Her voice was still young, but her face was extraordinarily "old", which made Li Mu feel a little confused, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the film industry is really interesting, and such makeup skills alone are a very sophisticated knowledge.
Anne Hathaway also walked in front of Li Mu at this time, but her whole body seemed a little awkward, she waved to Li Mu, and said in a very unconfident manner: "Hi, Mr. Li..."
Anne Hathaway knows that she looks very old now. As a girl who loves beauty, she doesn't want to show such an old side in front of the man she likes, but she can't do anything about it, after all, this is a filming requirement.
Li Mu smiled at her and praised: "Annie, I didn't expect your old-age makeup to be so temperamental. Even if you are old in the future, you will still be a beautiful and generous old lady."
"Really..." Anne Hathaway glanced at Li Mu shyly and said, "I looked in the mirror just now, and I felt like I turned eighty overnight..."
Li Mu smiled and said, "To be able to grow like this at the age of 80 is definitely one of the best beauties."
Anne Hathaway's 'wrinkled' face turned slightly red.
At this time, the executive director said with a loudspeaker: "Attention from all departments, the first set of shots of the 128th scene of "Flying Tigers" will be filmed for the first time immediately. Please take your place."
As soon as the words fell, Du Wei and Anne Hathaway waved to Li Mu and walked to the shooting location not far away.
Special group performances such as Sun Xiaozhong, Han Zili and the American Flying Tigers have also been put in place. The main camera is located behind the tombstone of Liu Ye's character, and the camera is used to shoot from a 45-degree angle from above.
As soon as the shooting started, Anne Hathaway quickly entered the role, holding a bouquet of flowers in her hand, she walked to the tombstone step by step with a sympathetic expression, Leonardo and Du Wei were holding each other and following Anne Hathaway Behind Wei, other "group performances" are distributed in front of several other tombstones.
The three came to stand in front of the tombstone, and Anne Hathaway leaned down and placed the bunch of flowers in front of the tombstone. The first set of shots ended, and they went through it again and again;
Then, in the second set of shots, the side shot starts from 90 degrees to the right of Anne Hathaway, with her as the center, and slowly rotates clockwise behind her. When it comes to her side and behind, Anne Hathaway Servi took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped the black and white photo of Liu Ye on the tombstone.
At this time, the camera gradually moved upward, from top to bottom, and the camera shifted to see more information on the tombstone, including the names of the characters in Liu Ye's play, as well as the dates of his birth and sacrifice.
The second set of shots is also over.
The third set of shots, Anne Hathaway tremblingly and cautiously, took out a yellowed black and white photo from her close pocket.
The camera focuses on that photo, which is exactly the same as Liu Ye's photo on the tombstone.
The third set of shots is still repeated.
In the fourth set of shots, before the start, Spielberg said to Anne Hathaway: "Anne, this set of shots is the most critical, you need to brew your emotions well, tears must be natural, and the timing must be just right."
Anne Hathaway nodded slightly and took a few deep breaths to brew her emotions.
"Let me know when you're ready," Spielberg said.
Anne Hathaway took another deep breath, then made an OK gesture to Spielberg.
Then, the fourth group of lenses was turned on.
Anne Hathaway's wrinkled eyes first looked at the photo in her hand affectionately, and then turned her eyes towards Liu Ye's young and handsome face on the tombstone. Wei's eyes quickly turned red, and two lines of sad tears naturally shed.
Those two lines of tears slowly fell on her wrinkled face...
Spielberg shouted excitedly: "Great! This scene passed!"
