Chapter 403: The Whole Show Is Finished
The movie "The Legend of the White Snake" actually does not involve many locations, but even so, out of consideration for excellence, it went through several changes, negations and changes during the period. In the end, the filming crew decided There are still as many as six or seven places.
Among them, Huairou Film and Television City and Jinhua Film and Television City have the most roles, accounting for more than 80% of the entire film. In addition, in Hangzhou, especially by the West Lake, the scenes are mainly for the male and female protagonists, and other actors have fewer roles. The shots of Mount Emei, Mount Qingcheng, and Zhangjiajie mainly revolve around the stories between the heroines Bai Suzhen, Hu Meiniang, and King Jinbo. As for the Dasong Film and Television City, only a few walking shots are needed. Just add a lot of scenery and empty mirrors.
For Li Qian, who has many years of experience in the film and television industry and has made detailed preparations in advance, these plays are not difficult problems for the crew that has already been formed. It's alright, for Li Qian and the entire crew, the real test is Mount Putuo.
After repeated consideration and observation, the crew finally decided to take the exterior scenes of the Jinshan Temple in several temples on Mount Putuo, which can be called the climax of the whole drama.
On November 15th, after the filming of the scenes in Jinhua Film and Television City ended, the crew moved here again.
…………
Mount Putuo in winter is chilly and bone-chilling.
Without the hustle and bustle brought about by large-scale commercial development in another time and space, the feeling of being born in peace makes people walk here, and their mood will be calmed unconsciously.
The crew had sent people over to take care of everything in advance, including communication with various local units, as well as communication with the temples where the shooting was needed. Of course, it also included booking a local resort for the crew.
So far, the filming has been started for nearly three months. Many actors have left the filming crew after the scenes, but the staff and leading actors must always follow the crew.
Although there is not much left for the entire filming work, it is expected that it will be over within this month, but to be honest, the 70 or 80 days of filming have been completed all the way, whether it is the staff or the actors in the play, there are very few. There are holidays, and most of the time it takes more than ten hours a day to shoot. After such a long time, everyone is exhausted. No matter how good the original atmosphere in the crew is, it cannot hold back the spread and spread of negative emotions . And in this way, the most direct consequence is that the efficiency of the entire crew is gradually not as good as before.
According to the original plan, Li Qian planned to go all out on this, and after taking down the last big part of the whole play, he would give the staff and actors a two-day vacation, let everyone take a vacation here, and then move to Chengdu Mansion Yes, but after two days of filming, he realized that if he insisted on being hard-pressed, the price he would bring would be that the negative emotions in everyone's hearts would become more and more serious. Therefore, he decisively decided to let everyone in the crew collectively release the film for a day. Paid leave for the family—living in a resort, surrounded by pleasant scenery, so Han Shunzhang organized everyone to go to a nearby village to eat grilled fish.
However, Li Qian was not willing to rest with everyone. In the morning, he, Cao Zhan, Zhao He, Jin Han, Zhu Mingyu and others went to visit the various temples and scenic spots again, and inspected the shooting locations. Xie Bing, just the two of them walked up the mountain and went to worship Buddha in various temples.
Not too pious, but Xie Bing has always respected the Buddha under the influence of the older generation in his family. When she went to every temple and every hall she saw, she would go in and offer incense and worship piously.
Li Qian has never believed in Buddhism and Taoism, it was the same in the previous life, and it is the same in this life.
And among the people around him, Liao Liao was the most like him. He always sneered at Buddhism and Taoism. Wang Jinglu didn't believe it too much, but she had such a personality that she wouldn't show it too conspicuously. Xie Bing was next, not so much. Believe in him, but he must worship Buddha every time he sees him, and he is quite devout.
Among several people, Zhou Mo was considered a Buddhist.
She smokes, drinks, and eats meat. In the domestic entertainment industry, she has always had a reputation for being unconventional. She often causes a sensation all over the country with trendy dresses and strange behaviors. But in fact, she fasts for a few days every month. Piety - at this time, even if Li Qian lives in the house, the two of them are not allowed to have sex in bed.
Although Li Qian respected her idea, he didn't care about it.
Although he himself has experienced perhaps the strangest thing in the world, yet, he still doesn't believe in anything but himself.
Inside and outside the temple, the sea breeze blows.
Today is really not a good time for devout men and women to offer incense.
The two walked to a temple, where there were few tourists and fewer pilgrims. Li Qian went in for a visit, followed Xie Bing's wishes, and asked the Zhike monk for incense, and then watched Xie Bing burn the incense, and saw her prostrating there While making a wish, feeling bored, he walked out of the Daxiong Palace, stood on the porch, took out a cigar he picked up from Cao Zhan, lit it, and stood in the vent to smoke the cigar.
Occasionally, when he looked back, he saw Xie Bing's back in the treasure hall, and he was suddenly distracted.
Xie Bing is a very well-behaved girl, except that she is gorgeous, she is not outstanding among the women around Li Qian in any way.
In terms of ability, although she has made rapid progress in singing in the past two years, in front of Liao Liao and Zhou Mo, there is a big gap between her voice and singing skills.
In terms of intelligence, Zhou Mo, Liao Liao, and Wang Jinglu are all ice and snow smart people. Li Qian himself is a man of two lifetimes. Even if his IQ is not top-notch, he is not stupid at all. The experience of ups and downs in life is definitely not comparable to that of Xie Bing, who is still as pure as a blank sheet of paper.
Even... When it comes to sex on the bed, she is the most stupid one!
Needless to say, Zhou Mo and Liao Liao, even Wang Jinglu, even though she was still shy after her first experience in personnel affairs, she was still very charming in bed, and the relationship between her and Li Qian was cultivated from an early age. The feeling of getting up together, the joy of fish and water between each other, is very charming.
As for Xie Bing, not only is she the most conservative between the beds, she usually just lies there and does not move, even if the two parties are already passionate, and her skin color has turned red all over, but at most she really can't hold it. She only hummed a few times, but usually she pursed her lips tightly, shy to make a sound, and Li Qian wanted to change her posture, but she was just at her mercy, and rarely actively asked for it.
Therefore, although she is still above Wang Jinglu in terms of pure beauty, but among the four women, she is actually the most inconspicuous one.
But, after getting along for a long time, Li Qian's most distressed thing is actually her!
Liao Liao is too smart and talented. To be honest, even if Li Qian hadn't appeared out of nowhere, her popularity would have been inevitable, just earlier and later.
Zhou Mo is also too smart. Although she is a little bit more prone to dig into the horns, so she is more likely to be covered with bruises than ordinary people, but once she finds the right person, she is more reassuring than anyone else.
Wang Jinglu is too smart. Similarly, even without Li Qian... In fact, up to now, Li Qian has not given her any help, but she still relies on her own efforts. She has participated in three TV series, not only has a small status in the circle, but even received an endorsement of 800,000 a year.
For them, Li Qian felt sorry for them, but he was not worried.
Only for Xie Bing...
Recently, starting from Hangzhou Mansion, she didn't go anywhere, and just stayed by Li Qian's side every day. When Li Qian was filming, she obediently stood aside in a daze. When Li Qian was resting, she would run back and forth to serve tea and water , Rubbing her waist and thumping her back, like a little maid, as long as she is not blind, she can see her obsession and infatuation with Li Qian.
Not to mention Li Qian himself!
Sometimes when waking up in the middle of the night, looking at the extremely beautiful face sleeping peacefully next to her pillow, and listening to her soft breathing, Li Qian can't help but think: what would happen to her if she lost herself?
Li Qian didn't have an answer, and he didn't even want to think about that answer.
At this moment, standing outside the gate of the palace, Li Qian was smoking a cigar, looking at her piously prostrating back, he couldn't help but think: If she is a dodder, then fortunately, he is growing into a towering tree.
…………
When he came out after worshiping, Li Qian took out a few hundred yuan and handed it to the Zhike monk as the money for sesame oil. The Zhike monk declined repeatedly, saying that the crew had already paid a large amount of sesame oil money for filming here, and they could no longer accept it. However, Li Qian insisted repeatedly, and the other party finally accepted it.
The sea breeze was strong, and Li Qian gradually lost interest in continuing to stroll, so he proposed to go back, Xie Bing nodded without thinking. The two walked out all the way, Li Qian asked with a smile: "What wish did you make? I saw you lying there muttering for a long time!"
Xie Bing smiled shyly when he heard the words, "I won't tell you!"
Li Qian smiled, found a trash can, extinguished the cigar, and threw it into the trash can.
…………
After a day's rest, the mood of the entire crew improved significantly.
With this kind of energy, it took a full week to finally win the big scene of flooding Jinshan, and the crew successfully ended the filming in Mount Putuo.
At this point, the work of most of the actors is completely over, and many actors, such as Zhou Yuhai who plays the monk Fahai and others, have completely finished their roles.
On the night when the filming ended, the crew held a small wrap-up banquet at a local hotel to send off Zhou Yuhai and several leading actors. Only bid farewell to here the next day.
In Hangzhou Mansion, Xie Bing, who had been by Li Qian's side for a full month, took the plane contentedly and quietly went back to Shuntian Mansion.
The production crew is divided into two parts here. Li Qian and deputy director Zhao He led some crew members respectively to Chengdu and Zhangjiajie for filming.
On November 29, 1998, when the filming of the last scene of the whole play was completed, at a shooting location in Mount Emei, Li Qian officially announced that "Legend of the New White Snake" was finished!
