Chapter 932 This Is Your Inn!
The ten-month long preparation period, setting up scenes in advance, training actors in advance, exclusive studio, Minghu Culture's strong personnel and equipment scheduling capabilities formed by years of operation, and the technology and technology formed by continuous investment over the years The huge advantages in equipment, coupled with Li Qian's ability to control and schedule the crew more and more honed in recent years, all of these have made "The Matrix" smooth sailing since the filming started.
Although all the actors in the crew are not at the level of absolutely superb acting skills, "The Matrix" is not the kind of in-depth literary and artistic film that digs into the characters' hearts. To put it bluntly, it is purely a popcorn style for commercial entertainment. Blockbuster, so whether it's Zhou Baoshan and He Yingyu from China, or a group of black and white actors invited from the United States, there is nothing difficult to deal with this level of performance.
So, the time flashed into September, and another flash, it was already late September.
On September 24th, Sun Yuting took a few photographers and the team's staff and took a plane from Shuntianfu to the United States.
They will land in Los Angeles, first take pictures of various cityscapes of Los Angeles, and then, accompanied by relevant American staff, go to New York to shoot scenes.
The itinerary for this trip is a total of four days of work schedule.
In the post-production of computer special effects, these captured city exteriors will be directly embedded in the movie—of course, the scenery of Shuntian Prefecture and Songjiang Prefecture have already been filmed.
At the end of September, Sun Yuting led the team to complete the filming and returned to China. Li Qian watched the shots she led the team one by one and was very satisfied.
At this time, it happened that the crew had started filming for more than a month and a half, and the overall shooting progress was close to 60%, so Li Qian announced that the crew would stop shooting and take a three-day holiday.
The actors and the behind-the-scenes staff of the crew are naturally Shanhu Long live. The weather at the end of September and the beginning of October is neither hot nor cold. Whether it is staying at home to rest or going out for two days, it is the best time. After a month and a half of intense work, it is of course a pleasure to have such a three-day vacation.
But Li Qian was not so leisurely.
In three days, he will go to three places.
The first day was a little easier, because Han Shunzhang is the director of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and he is currently on location in Huairou Film and Television City. He goes there and back, delaying a day's work, which is not considered tiring, but that afternoon, he will be non-stop Get on the plane and go straight to Chang'an Mansion, where Lu Lingxi is leading the crew of "Daming Palace Ci" to shoot the location.
And stay in Chang'an Mansion for one night, stay for half the day, in the afternoon near evening, he will take the train and go north, go to the depths of the desert, to see Jin Han's location for "Dragon Inn" with his own eyes .
That is, the hotel in the depths of the desert where the proprietress is inlaid with gold and jade.
Therefore, in three days, others can relax leisurely, but he has to hurry up, otherwise he has to worry that he won't be able to come back!
The first two days went smoothly, and the conditions of the two production crews were all good. Li Qian was relieved to see it. At most, it was Lu Lingxi's side. If there is more, I will tell her a few more words. In managing the production crew, you can't blindly overcome rigidity with softness. When it's time to strike hard, if she doesn't do it, just call yourself.
However, that afternoon, when Li Qian was about to go north by car, He Yingyu took Elizabeth to Chang'an Mansion by plane. In Jin Han's "Dragon Inn", He Yingyu wanted to play the coquettish proprietress Jin Xiangyu, so she said that she was staying at home anyway. I was also idle, so I wanted to follow Li Qian to have a look at the venue, and at the same time, while Li Qian was there, I could communicate with Director Jin Han in advance.
After all, this is the first cooperation between them, and it still needs a little running-in.
Of course, Li Qian was very pleased with this kind of dedicated work attitude and this way of working with precautions, so of course he nodded in agreement, ignoring the little tail of Elizabeth, and took them to the north on the train together—the train swayed , He Yingyu told him something, and Elizabeth kept looking at the boundless northern Shaanxi plateau outside with curiosity.
The train was very slow, and it was already late at night when they arrived at a nearby county town. Fortunately, the crew had already sent an off-road vehicle to pick them up, waiting for them.
And when a group of people bumped to the place where Jin Han and the others were stationed, the sky was already bright.
The off-road vehicle was so bumpy that people wanted to spit out the overnight meal, driving all the way, bringing up the dusty sky behind - the east sun had not yet risen, but it had already revealed a touch of fish belly.
Both He Yingyu and Elizabeth were so sleepy that they couldn't bear it anymore. They hugged each other and fell asleep in the back row, wearing the thick coats that had been prepared in advance in the car.
Li Qian was too sleepy at first, but he suddenly regained his energy.
Far away, deep in the desert, a hotel suddenly appeared.
It is a pure civil structure, a two-story building, and a large stable is surrounded by it.
When the morning wind blows, the front of the hotel is swaying with the wind, and there are four big characters written in crooked shapes on it - Longmen Inn.
Watching and watching, the car got closer and closer, Li Qian sighed contentedly.
I have to admit that although Jin Han is a young man, there are some things in this world that people who are not young can't do.
For example, to restore a murderous inn deep in the desert so elegantly!
Jin Han has been traveling around northern Shaanxi since July, and finally chose this place. After negotiating with the local people, he returned to Shuntian Mansion. Discuss together, and strive to restore the wonderful building described by Li Qian in the script and setting.
Then, he personally led the team into the depths of the desert again. It took a month to take root, staring at the staff and the construction party, and immediately asked for rework if he was dissatisfied.
From the construction party, to the company's set-up personnel, to transporting a large amount of wood into the desert, from beginning to end, although there are professional accountants and management personnel sent by Minghu Culture to assist, the person who has been busy on the front line must be Or Kim Han himself!
This is the power of Wenqing, and this is the power of Zhener!
Beautiful, perfect!
The off-road vehicle stopped in front of a tent, and Li Qian told the driver not to wake up the two sleeping girls behind him, and at the same time turn on the hot air of the air conditioner, and then he gently opened the door to get off, and then gently closed the door.
I could vaguely hear the snoring coming from the nearby tents.
It was just after five o'clock, and they were dreaming soundly.
Li Qian put his hips on his hips and stood still.
Looking at the "dilapidated" "new" inn in front of him.
At the beginning of the morning, the sun has just jumped out of the horizon, and the red sun has painted the desert, as well as the inns and bars deep in the desert, in a bright red color.
As gorgeous as a woman's freshly painted Danko.
After a while, he stepped forward and saw the driver following him, so he laughed softly, "I'll take a look for myself, you've been busy all night, go and take a nap for a while! Go!"
The driver was a young man in his early twenties. He scratched his head in embarrassment when he heard the words, turned around and got into a tent, and went to catch up on sleep.
Li Qian strolled into the outer gate of the hotel.
The sand under his feet has a strange texture, and the morning deep in the desert has a coldness that Shuntian Mansion never had. Li Qian tightened his clothes and zipped up his jacket.
Walking into the inn, Li Qian was suddenly taken aback.
There were people inside.
It seemed that the sound of footsteps had alarmed the man, and he was also looking back at this time.
The red cigarette butts flickered.
After seeing clearly that it was Li Qian, the man smiled and walked out.
It's Jin Han.
He was wearing a big padded jacket, holding a cigarette in his right hand, and a mineral water bottle in his left, which was half filled with a lot of cigarette butts floating in the water.
When he got closer, he grinned and said, "If you can't sleep in the morning, just get up and take a look!"
While speaking, he deftly and skillfully threw the cigarette butt into the mineral water bottle. Hearing the sound of sizzling inside, the man had already stretched out his hand and gestured, pointing to every corner in the hotel, saying: "Look, look, look How did I do it! I worked hard!"
Li Qian smiled, walked past him, and walked in.
A wooden, rough, long table with uneven edges.
Poor workmanship.
Li Qian stretched out his hand to touch it, and said, "It has to be remade and polished manually, it's too new."
Jin Han grinned, "Of course! But I can't do it today. I have other things to clean up today. I will arrange someone to polish it tomorrow. I will make a patina. I guarantee you can see how many years it has been used." It’s an old object! Although the camera is just swept away, but the movie is played with this texture, we can’t fool people!”
Li Qian nodded approvingly, and said, "Yes, that's the truth!"
To be honest, among the contracted directors of Minghu Culture, Jin Han can be counted first in terms of seriousness and tenacity in filming. Han Shunzhang is also serious, but his seriousness lies in meticulousness. And so far, when Li Qian used him, he always let him be in charge of the rear, covering the whole film and television department, but never let him charge forward.
A person like Jin Han who is all over the place, once he has turned around, is the best candidate to charge forward. In terms of making movies, this kind of person is serious about everything and can produce real things. , Good stuff, basically equivalent to the invincible general Black Zhang Fei in the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms!
Li Qian walked around the already completed Longmen Inn, touched the wood from time to time, saw a stack of large coarse porcelain bowls over there, picked one up, and looked at it carefully Look, turn around and say to Jin Han: "Let someone go to the nearby villages and get good bowls in exchange. If you can't just buy them, get some of their bowls that have been used for many years and have cracks!"
Jin Han chuckled, took two steps, crossed the counter, and pointed to the ground, "Look at this?"
Li Qian walked over, took a look at the sunlight that had already shone in at this time, and couldn't help but smile.
There was also a pile on the ground, but it was just a broken bowl with a hole in it.
This is right!
An inn opened in the depths of the desert outside the Great Wall has been open for many years. These bowls are used up by the next batch of guests, so there are no ones who are not bumped. Most of them have a little injury, which is reasonable.
The two walked around below, and were about to go upstairs to have a look, but a girl's voice suddenly came from the door, "I guess you have to be here!"
When the two looked back, He Yingyu showed surprise, "Director Jin is here too!"
When Jin Han saw He Yingyu for the first time, a slight surprise flashed across his face, and he subconsciously turned his head to glance at Li Qian, but soon he smiled and said: "I can't sleep in the morning, I think you are coming soon, so come here Go around, waiting for you! Come, take a look! This is your inn!"
He Yingyu walked in, eyes full of novelty.
In fact, when she realized that Li Qian closed the car door, she had already woken up in a daze. After a while, I got up and got off the car, and saw the inn in front of me. It felt like a dream, as if I came to the murderous inn outside the Great Wall described in the script.
It would be even better if there weren't all these obtrusive, theatrical tents next to it!
All the way into the inn to find Li Qian, she was surprised by the rough reality of this inn.
After walking into the inn, seeing the glaring sunlight coming in from the joints of the wooden walls of the inn, the feeling of being in the Longmen Inn became more and more intense.
Looking left and right, He Yingyu shook her head and sighed, "No wonder Brother Qian'er always said that Jin Han has a twist in his work, and this "Dragon Inn" must be him!"
Jin Han couldn't help laughing smugly upon hearing this.
Even though he knew that He Yingyu was flattering, but this flattering made him feel happy in his heart.
So he beckoned, "Come upstairs and have a look!"
While speaking, he was the first to step up the wooden stairs, creaking.
Li Qian and He Yingyu followed him upstairs.
While walking, Jin Han said: "Qian'er didn't say that you would come too, but it's better if you come, so you can feel it in advance! When your filming is over, you'll have to come over and be my proprietress!"
Speaking of this, he suddenly turned around, and when Li Qian and He Yingyu both came up, he asked: "How much have you shot "The Matrix"? Don't let me wait too long, labor and so on, the cost is not low! Waste of money!"
Li Qian responded with a smile, "Don't be afraid, work slowly and carefully. After everything is done, you have to carefully find and make up for it. When it is really done, you and Zhou Zhiyu will start shooting first, and shoot other shots first. "The Matrix" Here, it can be finished in about a month. After finishing it...give Xiaoyu three to five days to rest, take a breath, and then let her come over!"
Jin Han nodded in satisfaction, "Success!"
But then, he looked at He Yingyu again, "What about you? Can you do it? It takes three to five days, don't just sit around and rest! I know you played an expressionless character in "The Matrix", from the beginning to the end She doesn’t look like she’s smiling at the end, she joined my crew of "Dragon Inn", and Jin Xiangyu is a coquettish proprietress!"
He Yingyu smiled, "Director Jin, you are questioning my level! Let me tell you, since I received the script for your play, I have been thinking about it, and I have rehearsed with Lao Zhou many times! Don't worry, As long as I enter this inn, I will be inlaid with gold and jade immediately!"
Jin Han smiled with satisfaction when he heard the words, and said, "That's a good thing!"
