Chapter 758 Blue Sorghum

This is a sorghum field with a width of more than 3,000 mu, with almost no limit at a glance.

At the end of August, the end of summer and the beginning of autumn.

Holding the viewfinder in his hand, Li Qian stood on the temporary wooden tower and looked around slowly, unwilling to miss every inch of land and every piece of sorghum.

After looking at it for a long time, until the soles of his feet were numb and the hand holding the viewfinder gradually felt weak, he put down the viewfinder, inspected the sorghum fields near and far, sighed and praised in satisfaction.

"very nice!"

Well, of course, the Li family is originally a local, and the three villages and ten miles are related to relatives, plus a lot of money was spent, just to subsidize the planting losses of these two or three nearby villages, the crew would spend nearly two hundred Wan, the sorghum seeds are also carefully selected and uniformly blended. This kind of sorghum is naturally spectacular.

It’s not uncommon to make movies these days who are willing to spend money, but those who are willing to spend two million for a piece of sorghum just to pursue that kind of magnificent and continuous visual effect are rare.

Li Qian carefully got down from the wooden tower, handed the viewfinder to Lu Lingxi, and said with a smile, "You all have a look too."

In fact, among the main creators of the film crew, he was the last to come, and everyone had already seen it before him.

Li Qian walked over there with a smile, said hello to grandpa, grandma, dad, second uncle, and those folks who didn't know too much, and beckoned to Sun Yuting for two packs of cigarettes. , said with a smile: "We have to shoot here for two or three months. During these two or three months, how troublesome everyone will be!"

Li Qian's grandfather is only in his 60s this year, not even 70 years old. His waist was originally a little bent, but today he is worth it, and he speaks even more arrogantly, "Grandson, don't worry about your business." , this is our own family, if you have anything to do, just say it!"

"Okay!" Li Qian agreed briskly.

After finishing speaking, he said to the big guys: "The food and wine are all ordered from the city. People bring people and materials to make them on the spot. At noon today, every family in our village builds pots and comes to eat. I invite everyone Boys!"

Grandpa nodded, his face was flushed, and his voice was even louder than Li Qian's, "Yes, come and eat! No one is allowed to cook! Not only our village, but who, Zhao Zhuang and Shi Gai have all gone to notify? Let them Come and eat too!"

The big guy responded messily, noisy, and giggling, "Call it! Cry it!"

…………

Today's meal was paid for by Li Qian himself, not counting the crew's expenses.

Wealth and honor do not return to their hometowns, like walking in brocade clothes at night. Although he grew up in Jinan Mansion since he was a child, he didn't have much contact with the folks here, but he knew that his father grew up here, not to mention that his grandparents are still alive, The second uncle and the others are still living here!

For this meal, three villages were invited together, with a total of more than four thousand and nearly five thousand people. Every family came to eat without cooking. Only one restaurant and 30 to 50 chefs can barely cope with it—but, there must be one!

Not only for the success of filming for the crew, but also for my father.

The so-called returning home with wealth, in fact, the person returning home is not me, but him.

…………

The flowing water feast started at 11:00 noon on the day Li Qian arrived and didn't end until 3:00 pm. It was talking about three nearby villages that participated in the sorghum planting plan, but in fact, no less than 5,000 people came to eat.

Fortunately, everything here is relatively generously prepared and supplied in sufficient quantities. By three o'clock, it was finally able to sustain this scene--Li Qian's grandparents, parents, uncles and aunts, all of them It was a red-faced appearance, and Li's father even pulled Li Qian along in the middle, wandering around to several key tables to toast a few glasses of wine.

In fact, such a meal cost less than 200,000 yuan.

When the scene was over, Li Qian asked Huang Wenjuan to stay with someone to take care of the aftermath, while he pulled the behind-the-scenes staff of the crew, returned to the county with several key actors, and held a closed-door meeting.

This drama is too important to Li Qian and Minghu Culture!

It is the first time for Li Qian and Minghu Culture to expand their performance boundaries.

You don't need to make money, you don't need to win prizes, but you must shoot well, and you must shoot well without leaving any regrets in your heart!

To put it bluntly, "My Sassy Girl", "Huang Feihong", and many commercial productions that will appear one after another in the future are the foundation of Minghu culture. Looking at it now, it has initially gained a firm foothold, but since "On the Road" At the beginning, the signboard of Minghu culture in the sense of "culture" has never been able to stand up!

Li Qian placed high hopes on the film "Peacock" that Jin Han is about to shoot. He felt that after so many films over the years, it should be a good story to come across such a simple and good story. It's time for Jin Han to excel, but he will never pin his hopes on Jin Han!

So, he wants to make "Red Sorghum"!

This movie has a great reputation in another time and space. On the one hand, it is really good. On the other hand, it has something to do with it winning awards in the West at that time.

But even if you put aside all the external additions and simply analyze the movie itself, it is indeed a movie worth making, and it will look good when it is made!

You talk about romanticism, but it is full of detailed life everywhere, true and thorough. You talk about realism, but its strong red and yellow almost cover the entire picture of the whole movie, which is simply a picture. Great freehand brushwork!

And that's why it's unique!

Of course, unlike when he was filming "My Sassy Girlfriend" and "Huang Feihong", he would try his best to maintain the rhythm and charm of the original version in order to ensure its commerciality and box-selling ability. For Li Qian, it is a creation, and for Li Qian now, it will be a creation!

The difference is only because Li Qian already has Zhang Guoshi's model for reference and reference!

But Li Qian will definitely not be like the two films he made before, all with the primary goal of preserving the original version to the greatest extent! for example--

"Color! This is the first thing I want to emphasize!"

"Originally in my conception, I wanted red and yellow, as long as these two colors!"

"The wine is red, the bride's clothes are red, the bearer's sedan chair is red, the Chinese character "囍" is red, fire is red, the setting sun is red, and human blood is red! The face is all yellow..."

"But now, a color that I originally wanted to downplay, I am going to pull it out in full force to form the third important color in the color composition of the whole movie, that is, our sorghum. The blue sorghum!"

Had trouble sleeping last night.

Master Huang is eternal!
