Chapter 716 Hardship
On the Internet, Tan Yue's filming of a new movie has also aroused many discussions among netizens.
"Wow, it's so sudden. Teacher Tan Yue has actually started filming a new movie."
"Is this news true? Is it reliable? I have been waiting for such a long time, but there is no news that Teacher Tan Yue is going to make a film and television series."
"Hahaha, I decided to add a chicken drumstick to my meal today. The news that Teacher Tan Yue is filming a new movie is really the best news I heard today!"
"Is the new movie also about military themes? I particularly like "Wolf Warrior 2". I hope Mr. Tan Yue can make a movie similar to "Wolf Warrior 2"!"
"My favorite director in the past few years is Director Tan. I'm looking forward to his new movies!"
Skyview Entertainment Company.
In the office of the famous director Jiangbei.
Jiang Bei sat behind his desk, holding his mobile phone and browsing some messages that had just been sent in the group.
"Hey, so many people are discussing it?" Jiang Bei was surprised.
Many friends in the industry are discussing about Tan Yue co-producing a movie with the army.
Many people take this matter seriously.
Because everyone knows that if this movie is made to the satisfaction of the army, how great the ultimate benefit will be.
Even Jiang Bei was very excited and wanted to co-produce this military-themed movie with the army on behalf of Tianjing Entertainment Company, but unfortunately, it was not his turn.
"This is a good opportunity. Let's see if Tan Yue can catch it." Jiang Bei narrowed his eyes slightly and thought to himself.
Another week passed, night.
Tiannan Province, deep in a certain mountain.
The filming location of "Wreaths Under the Mountain".
Because it is close to the border, in order to ensure the safety of the crew, the army specially stationed a battalion nearby.
The filming process of the movie has reached the middle and late stages.
The scene to be filmed today is when Commander Lei received a call from Zhao Mengsheng's mother. When he heard that Zhao's mother wanted to transfer Zhao Mengsheng back to the safety of the rear, his whole face changed.
With the sound of the recorder, the board was struck.
The filming of this scene started.
This is an important scene, and it's also a big one. Hundreds of extras appear in the camera, and even though most of them are silent, there is still some buzz.
However, this was in line with the atmosphere of the scene, and Tan Yue did not stop it.
A comrade from the Propaganda Company came over and informed us, "Comrades, sit down where you are and don't move. The Army Commander is coming to give a speech."
At this time, the camera gave a close-up of company commander Liang Sanxi and instructor Zhao Mengsheng.
Next, Army Commander Lei Zhen strode in from outside the venue, his face serious and unsmiling, like a tiger suppressing his anger.
Lei Zhen came to the stage and frowned, looking at the soldiers in the audience, which made the soldiers feel a little nervous.
After pacing back and forth several times, Lei Zhen finally spoke. He put his hands behind his back, his body as straight as a loose body, and his tone was sonorous.
"Comrades, the war is about to begin now. My thousands of troops are about to kill the enemy, fight to the death, and bleed. But at this moment, a strange thing happened in my army."
Speaking of this, Lei Zhen showed a sneer on his face.
"I have been fighting for decades, so I can hold on since I have experienced hundreds of battles, right?"
"This is the first time I have encountered this kind of thing in a hundred battles."
Jiao Cheng is a teacher in the acting class at Beijing Film Academy. He has superb acting skills and fully interprets the charm of the character Lei Zhen.
At this point, his tone suddenly worsened, and he placed his right hand on the white porcelain cup on the lecture table. Angry flames seemed to burst out of his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "So today, my old habit may happen again. Maybe I have to throw my hat and scold my mother again!”
Lei Zhen took a sip of water from the cup, moistened his throat, and continued: "There is such a lady with great magical powers. It's amazing, it's amazing. She has the ability to ask for the phone number from thousands of miles away. My forward command post, I think all comrades will know, at this critical moment, my phone, every minute and every second is priceless. "
"Why is she calling?"
"She asked me to take care of her son. She asked me to transfer her son back to the rear and use my command post as an exchange."
"His grandma walked out the back door and ended up on the battlefield where I bled and died."
According to the previous plan, the photographer gave the audience a close-up of Zhao Mengsheng's face at this time, showing Zhao Mengsheng's panic, uneasiness, and shame at this moment.
Although it is possible to reshoot later, Tan Yue feels that such shooting will not be as effective as the current shooting.
Lei Zhen paced back and forth on the stage, his tone full of anger, and said: "Who is her son? This man was originally an officer of the military agency, and now he is an instructor in a certain company in your division."
In the audience, Jin Kailai patted the shoulder of company commander Liang Sanxi and pursed his lips at Zhao Mengsheng, who was bowing his head and saying nothing.
At this time, everyone knew very well that the person the commander on the stage was talking about was none other than Zhao Mengsheng, the instructor of their ninth company.
Lei Zhen said angrily: "I don't care whether she is the wife of Lord Tian or the wife of Lord Earth. Who dares to walk out the back door to the battlefield? I want her son to be the first to carry the explosive pack and blow up the bunker!" "
At the end of the sentence, Lei Zhen suddenly raised his voice, grabbed the hat on his head, and threw it on the table. The entire venue fell silent, and then thunderous applause broke out.
Following Lei Zhen's speech, the atmosphere of the entire venue rose instantly, and the morale of the soldiers was also mobilized.
Zhao Mengsheng, who was in the audience, was sweating profusely and couldn't raise his head because of Lei Zhen's words. He lowered his head in annoyance.
Some people also looked at Zhao Mengsheng.
Lei Zhen put on his hat and turned to leave the venue.
"Cut."
Tan Yue stood behind the camera and shouted with a microphone, "Everyone take a break."
After that, Tan Yue immediately came to the screen behind the camera to check the shooting effect of the big show just now.
This scene was almost a one-man show by Lei Zhen. To be honest, Tan Yue was really shocked by Jiao Cheng's performance.
It seemed that the person standing on the stage was really an iron-blooded soldier.
This scene was an important scene with a long shot. It was best to do it in one go, so that the effect would be the best, but the acting skills of the actors were extremely high.
Tan Yue was a little scared at first. Could Jiao Cheng's acting skills cope with such a long performance?
Facts have proved that teachers at the film academy are very capable.
Tan Yue stood in front of the screen and watched the scene that had just been filmed. After he felt that there was no problem, Tan Yue asked the staff to prepare for the next scene.
The filming of "The Wreath Under the Mountain" has been in line with the scheduled filming progress so far. If the subsequent filming is the same, then the film can be completed in mid-to-early January.
The crew, in a temporary cabin.
The actors of the crew of "The Wreath Under the Mountain" gathered together and were discussing the acting experience of this movie.
Especially the actors who have scenes with each other during the filming need to act against each other.
Dong Dong Dong.
The door of the house was knocked.
The staff pushed the door, poked their heads in, looked at the actors in the house, and said, "Teacher, let's have some supper? Director Tan specially arranged for us to cook it and send it over.".
Jiao Cheng laughed and said, "Okay, thank you for your hard work, help us bring it over."
Soon, bowls of chicken stewed with mushrooms were brought up.
In the mountains, don't expect to eat sea cucumbers and abalone every day like in Beijing and Shanghai, but there are also different experiences here than in big cities, such as this chicken stewed with mushrooms, which is a genuine mountain flavor.
The chicken was bought by the staff from the villagers in the nearby mountain village. It is a pure domestic rooster.
The mushrooms were picked in the mountains by the chef invited by the crew.
"Wow, it smells so good."
"It looks so appetizing."
"Wenhua, I think it's not that the dish is well cooked, but your appetite is not as picky as before."
"Yes, I used to be unwilling to eat anything meaty, but now I swallow my saliva when I see meaty."
Jiao Cheng looked up at the staff who delivered the dishes and said, "Brother, has Director Tan eaten?"
The staff looked at Jiao Cheng and said, "There are only so many in this pot. Director Tan said he won't eat it, so he sent it to several teachers."
Jiao Cheng heard this, looked at the people next to him and smiled, and said, "Well, our Director Tan really has that kind of selfless dedication and fearless spirit. The military movies we have made during this period have not been in vain."
As he said that, Jiao Cheng handed his bowl to the staff and said, "I am old, and I will definitely have diarrhea if I eat so much meat at night. I won't eat it anymore. You can send it to Director Tan."
The staff was stunned for a moment and was a little at a loss.
Zhang Wenhua smiled and said, "You go and deliver it. I have a small appetite. This bowl is enough for me and Teacher Jiao."
Ma Guoliang, who usually keeps silent, looked up and said, "I can't finish it either. Let's eat together."
The staff had no choice but to bring a bowl to Tan Yue.
A burst of laughter came from the cabin, and Xin Zhi and Zhen Ling laughed so hard that they couldn't straighten their backs.
"We probably won't forget what happened today for decades. We had to rack our brains to pass the bowl of chicken stewed with mushrooms. Hahaha, this life is really miserable."
The next day.
The crew continued filming the movie.
Tan Yue was still considering whether he could speed up the filming while ensuring the quality.
If he could finish filming at the end of December or the beginning of January, he might be able to catch up with the Spring Festival.
You know, the Spring Festival is the largest film market in China, and everyone wants to get a piece of the pie.
As the weather got colder, Tan Yue wore a white sweater and held a megaphone in his hand, directing the operation of various departments.
After all departments were ready, the script supervisor hit the board and the shooting began.
This scene was a scene after Lei Zhen's speech at the meeting, and the scene was a military tent that had been built.
Zhao Mengsheng was lying on the bed, smoking one cigarette after another, and the can was already full of cigarette butts.
Liang Sanxi sat on the bed and watched the decadent Zhao Mengsheng crush the empty cigarette box and throw it on the ground.
Liang Sanxi lit a cigarette and handed it to Zhao Mengsheng.
At the same time, the voices of comrades' discussions came from outside the tent.
"I think the commander scolded well, he scolded really happily, he deserved it!"
"That's right, no matter what, when the war starts, we, the descendants of farmers, have to rely on us."
"That's right!"
"On the battlefield, who dares to take a step back, I, Old Jin, will shoot him."
"That's right, there is a Wang Lianju in the company."
"Mr. Hugo, what do you think about this?"
"Don't look down on me, Duan Yuguo, I am willing to shed some blood to serve the motherland, and I should not be a shameful deserter."
"Okay, Xiao Duan, it's up to you then."
Zhao Mengsheng in the tent felt very uncomfortable and painful when he heard his comrades say this. He sat up from the bed, covered his face with his hands, and cried in pain: "Company commander, I want to talk to everyone."
This was a scene shot in a row. Tan Yue hurriedly looked at the land not far away. The actors were ready.
Tan Yue told the photographer through the headset to shoot this scene well.
Liang Sanxi went outside to gather the company.
Zhao Mengsheng stood in front of the company, looking at his comrades, gritting his teeth and said: "I am also a soldier, I, I also have human dignity."
Speaking of this, Zhao Mengsheng's voice was already crying, but he couldn't cover up his inner anger. He pulled off his hat and said angrily: "From now on, whoever dares to say that I, Zhao Mengsheng, is greedy for life and afraid of death, I will fight him, and I will fight him with the bayonet! He is a hero or a bear, let's meet on the battlefield!"
Zhao Mengsheng was emotional, and his eyes were bloodshot.
This formed a contrast. When he just came to the company, Liang Sanxi arranged for him to introduce himself to everyone, but Zhao Mengsheng couldn't even say the introduction. Now, he can drive the emotions of the soldiers, and he is slowly growing into a qualified instructor.
After saying that, Zhao Mengsheng turned around and lay on the tree, panting violently.
Looking at Zhao Mengsheng in such a state, Liang Sanxi and Jin Kailai couldn't help but feel relieved, because they really felt a man's blood from Zhao Mengsheng. Without this blood, he would not be a qualified soldier.
The relationship between Zhao Mengsheng and the soldiers slowly eased from this moment.
"Ka, very good."
Outside the camera, Tan Yue said with a smile.
The crew accelerated the shooting progress. Tan Yue also told everyone before that the shooting quality should not be reduced because of the accelerated progress.
Quality is the most important thing. If the quality cannot be guaranteed, it is better not to speed up the shooting progress.
Speeding up the shooting progress is based on ensuring quality.
Although it is said that the shooting progress was accelerated, it was actually only slightly faster than usual. Generally speaking, it was completed one or two weeks earlier. In fact, the accelerated progress was not fast.
In the blink of an eye, it was mid-December, and scenes were shot one after another.
The 9th Company was assigned to the mission and was appointed by the superiors as the sharp knife company to carry out infiltration work behind the enemy. The task was severe.
Jin Kailai was finally promoted to the coveted deputy company commander, but he was not very happy.
Promotion on the battlefield must be reused.
Or, it has been like this since ancient times. Promotion on the battlefield means leading by example and being closer to death.
Jin Kailai generously bought good cigarettes and wine and had a good meal with his comrades.
