Chapter 901: We Have Been Together for Twelve Years, but I Didn’t Know Mulan Was a Girl.

"Hu~"

A wave of hot air gushed out, and the snow-white yurt curtain was lifted.

Wu Yuan, who had already put on a thick set of clothes, came out with a wash basin and casually sprinkled the still warm wash water in the basin on the ground.

As he moved, the mist continued to rise.

This is the Hulunbuir grassland in the north of the motherland.

The crew of "Mulan" has officially arrived here for five days and has started filming smoothly.

However, due to the weather, these five days are more about adapting to life, and only two or three scenes were filmed.

This time, the crew of "Mulan" came to Hulunbuir, and all the members really lived directly on the grassland, but they lived at the very edge of the grassland. Every day, there were trucks that were ordered to deliver daily necessities and various items.

The supplies in life must be abundant, but living on the grassland is something that needs to be adapted.

Not to mention anything else, just going to the toilet and cleaning up the garbage every day is very troublesome, plus the temperature difference between day and night is very large, the difference between the accommodation experience of yurts and hotels, etc., for most crew members, it is a difficult thing to describe.

Maybe in the first two or three days, everyone's mentality is still mainly novel, but after the novelty is over, it is really uncomfortable and unsuitable everywhere.

And ordinary staff who are more able to endure hardships are like this, let alone the actors.

The actors Wu Yuan found are already considered to be relatively dedicated and hardworking actors in China, but Hu Ge, Huang Xiaoming and others still can't help complaining a few words in private these two days.

People who have lived in cities all the time are really not used to this kind of "wild" life.

Don't look at those variety shows that often have outdoor camping and other links, but they are actually scripts. As soon as the shooting is over, everyone immediately goes to the hotel to rest, and then rushes back the next day to shoot a shot of getting up.

The environments that can really allow actors to stay are the limit, such as "Longing for Life" and "Dear Inn", and they only stay for one or two nights.

But the crew of "Mulan" will live on the Hulunbuir grassland for at least two months.

"With such convenience in modern times, it is very hard to live here. It is really hard to imagine how the ancient people lived in the past." This is what Huang Xiaoming complained when Wu Yuan passed by the actor's yurt last night.

It can only be said that this time they were asked to play the soldiers guarding the border in ancient times, and they really felt the same.

Thinking in his mind, Wu Yuan's hands did not slow down. After packing up all the toiletries on hand, he lifted the curtain and returned to the yurt.

Looking up, he could see his wife sitting in front of the dressing table and doing simple dressing.

Because there was a scene to shoot today, Liu Yifei did not apply any makeup on her face. After all, there would be a makeup artist from the crew to dress her up later.

In "Mulan", she appeared without makeup in 95% of her scenes. Not only could she not put on beautiful makeup, but she had to make herself look ugly. Her skin color had to be darker, her lips had to be peeled, and her face had to be more dusty.

After all, she was a woman dressed as a man and a rough soldier, so she definitely couldn't be delicate.

Although movies are movies after all, and the audience knew from the beginning that Mulan was a woman, she couldn't really dress up casually in the film.

In many domestic film and television dramas now, the heroines who are dressed as men are so perfunctory, not to mention that they don't look like men at all, and they even keep beautiful makeup, as if they are afraid that the audience doesn't know that this is a "big beauty".

Wu Yuan certainly couldn't accept this phenomenon, so he strictly required the makeup artist to make Liu Yifei look like a man.

Although she is naturally beautiful, and no matter how much makeup she puts on a man, her delicate features can still be seen, but she still has to have a correct attitude, at least to make the saying "We have been together for twelve years, but I still don't know that Mulan is a girl" more or less true to reality.

"Wife, the weather is good today. It's sunny and not snowing. We have a lot of filming tasks today. I'll get you some breakfast first, and then we'll start preparing for filming."

Wu Yuan watched his wife getting ready, and he couldn't help much, so he simply arranged the filming preparations for the crew.

Soon, half an hour later, everyone had almost finished breakfast, and the entire crew started moving.

The camera crew, props crew, and set crew all got in the car and started to go to the set to make arrangements before filming.

The makeup crew and costume crew entered the actors' yurts and began to make up and change their costumes.

Wu Yuan, with the script supervisor and the stage manager, also came to the filming site about 3 kilometers away from the residential area.

Here, the crew has built a small military camp, which was built completely according to the instructions of the historical consultant and is full of the Northern Dynasty style during the Southern and Northern Dynasties.

Today, we will shoot a lot of scenes about Hua Mulan and her comrades living and training in the military camp, as well as the appearance of General Cheng Long.

Trucks are pulling extras from the distant city.

Because it is filmed on the Hulunbuir grassland, it is very troublesome to hire extras. Not only is the money paid more than the film and television bases such as Hengdian and Xiangshan, but it also needs to be picked up and dropped off from the city every day. After all, the extras definitely cannot live in the crew.

There are only more than 30 extras who can follow the group. They play the kind of special extras who will appear frequently in the camera but have only one or two lines.

"Extras, come here to get your costumes!"

The casting director on the scene was directing the extras who got off the truck, arranging them to change their roles and put on makeup, mainly wearing a long-hair hood.

Wu Yuan observed and confirmed that everything was in order, and did not interfere with the work of the casting director. He sat quietly in the director's position behind the monitor, waiting for the extras and the leading actors to arrive before he could show his talents.

Time passed little by little. After the extras were in place, the leading actors also came in the car. They changed into costumes and put on makeup in advance. After greeting Wu Yuan, they took their places in a camp with red faces.

Liu Yifei, who was wearing a red lining, leather armor and a helmet, also came to Wu Yuan's side.

"Are you cold?" Looking at his wife's red face, Wu Yuan asked with some heartache.

The winter on the grassland is really cold, and the cold wind is very strong, which hurts the face, but for work, Liu Yifei is still the heroine, so it is really difficult to get special treatment.

"It's okay." Liu Yifei said nonchalantly, "I have a lot of hot packs on me, I'm not cold at all, it's just that my face is red because of the wind."

"And this is in line with the character's image."

Not to mention, now that her skin color is obviously two shades darker, her face is red, her lips are cracked, there is a little frost on her eyebrows, and her forehead and nose are a little gray, Liu Yifei looks really close to the image of a rough man, but she does look feminine, there's really nothing we can do about it.

Wu Yuan took a deep look at her, and then said, "Then get ready to start filming, and try to finish it as early as possible today." (End of this chapter)
