Huayu Ye Qingjie

I just finished writing, and I haven't had time to correct typos and wrong sentences. I will revise it first, and everyone will read it later.

…………

Zhong Yunqing and Sisi came to the second floor, and he helped Sisi carry the luggage to the room first.Then he found that the inner door was not closed tightly, and he asked her to go forward and open the door.

The two walked in, and immediately saw a ten-year-old girl inside, packing the bed and luggage.

Zhong Yunqing recognized the other party at a glance.Mo Xiaobei, leader of the Five Sacred Mountains,

Sisi also read the script and knew that among the main actors, there was a little girl who played the role of the shopkeeper's sister-in-law.

She grabbed a suitcase from Zhong Yunqing's hand, then stepped forward a few steps and said with a smile:

"Little sister, are you the little actor playing Mo Xiaobei?"

In fact, the little girl who played Mo Xiaobei was named Wang Shasha, who was born as a child star and played the famous soldier Zhang Ga a few years ago.

This anti-Japanese children's drama has another familiar face that everyone knows, that is, the Sherlock Holmes children's shoes with children...

Wang Shasha's performance in Wulin Biography is quite spiritual, and to be honest, her acting experience and acting skills are estimated to be able to beat Sisi, a half-bad!

However, the little girl was still relatively modest. When she saw two people walking in, the one who was asking questions was still a beautiful elder sister.She also responded with a friendly smile:

"Well, brother and sister, my name is Wang Shasha."

After finishing speaking, she remembered what the uncle who arranged the room said just now, put down the things in her hand, continued to look at Sisi and said:

"Sister, you are the actor who played Guo Furong, right?"

Sisi's personality was carefree, she saw that the little girl was so polite, she called her sister one by one.So he grinned:

"Well, my name is Liu Sisi, and we will live together in the next few months..."

Afterwards, several people chatted for a while.After all, it was a girl's room, so Zhong Yunqing put away his suitcase and went to the first floor to get his luggage.

When he got to his room, Li Dazui who had arranged to share the room with him had also arrived.He's resting though, and has been grunting a bit.

Seeing this, Zhong Yunqing lifted the suitcase, walked lightly to another location, and began to make his own bed.

…………

The kick-off banquet is scheduled for [-]:[-] pm.

However, due to financial reasons, I did not go to a decent hotel.After discussing with the senior management of the crew, they just found a food stall near the hotel to reserve the venue. More than 60 people, just enough to all sit down.

Of course, although the opening banquet is a simple meal for the big guys to get together, the seating arrangement of the crew is still very ingenious.

For example, the important characters in this drama are basically arranged at the same table.

But at the beginning, everyone compared Wei and Jin clearly.

Except for Zhong Yunqing and Sisi, the rest of the actors, whether it's Laobai, Shopkeeper Tong, or Li Dazui, the head of Xing, are the original creators of "The Story of the Cooking Class".

The two sat in the crowd, although they were familiar faces, they didn't know any of them.

Zhong Yunqing was fine, he was a human being in two lifetimes, and he worked as a tour guide who often came into contact with strangers, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with having dinner with these people.

Sisi is different. Although she is a woman, she still can't let go of eating with a bunch of strangers.It was a little stiff at first.

However, this situation did not last long.

In the subsequent toasting session, Yan Ni helped her and Wang Shasha out of the siege and prevented the two little girls from drinking.Sisi started to get more and more familiar with this big sister, and then slowly let go.

After all, the people at this table are all friends who will be filming together in the next five months.It is necessary to build a good relationship now.As a newcomer to the crew, it is a big taboo not to fit in.

Since we will be filming tomorrow, the director didn't let everyone drink too much, and went back to the hotel collectively after dinner.

At [-]:[-] a.m. the next day, the opening ceremony was held in the open space outside the Tongfu Inn where the filming took place.

Directly facing the direction of the studio, several merged tables were lit with joss sticks, pig's head fruits and other offerings.

There are also several cameras covered with red cloth on the front table.

When it comes to the wind of starting worship, it actually first originated between Hong Kong and Taiwan, and then quickly spread to the mainland.

In fact, this is not to say that there are many feudal superstitions.But under this solemn sense of ritual, the entire crew can have a sense of belonging, work more seriously, and feel more at ease in their hearts.

Fundamentally speaking, the opening ceremony has another purpose, which is to inform the public that such a crew has started work.Then it is to pray for blessings, and hope that the filming of the crew will go well.

Because there are too many uncontrollable factors for the crew, every shooting requires the cooperation of many people to complete.No one can guarantee whether the shooting plan can be carried out as scheduled.There is a grand opening ceremony before the filming starts, so that everyone in the crew can feel at ease.

Facing the incense table, the main creators of Wulin Gaiden are arranged in sequence.

The director, producer and several leading actors stood in the front row, holding three sticks of incense in their hands, praying with their eyes closed, and then put the incense sticks on the incense table.

…………

After the opening ceremony, the planned shooting work will begin immediately.

However, Wulin Biography is a costume drama after all, although the actors have already dressed in costumes before.However, it is estimated that it will take about an hour for the crew to set up the scene.

Fortunately, today is cloudy and not so hot, so there is no discomfort in wearing ancient clothes.

The crew is still busy building the scene.The rest of the cast members were waiting in the rest area.Although Sisi also has a part in the show, but this girl is not a quiet master.

She stayed in the rest area for a while, watching the crews come and go busy, suddenly a little curious, what would the overall picture of the set of this costume drama be like.

So she ran to Zhong Yunqing who was resting with her eyes closed, and whispered to him:

"Old Zhong, I want to visit the studio, you can go with me."

Seeing his little girlfriend so active, Zhong Yunqing was really powerless to complain!

She didn't want to "visit", this girl was simply restless and wanted to wander around the set.

But he complained about it, and he still stayed with her from the bottom of his heart.And to be honest, Zhong Yunqing himself was very curious about the real scene layout of this so-called "inn".

After all, Zhong Yunqing liked this drama very much in his previous life, and watched it more than ten times.Now that I have the opportunity to experience the shooting process in person, I naturally want to explore the "secret" behind the shooting scene.

So, with their own curiosity, the two wandered around the set together.

To expose the real "Tongfu Inn" with your own eyes...

Of course, the result was not as expected, and some even made people "disappointed"!

How should I put it, originally Zhong Yunqing thought that the entire inn should look like it was shown in the TV series.

I was looking for a rural house like the 90s, with a few common houses with wooden beams for layout.At least there should be a little scale in terms of area.

But when I entered the set, I saw that the actual filming area was very, very small!Probably only less than seventy square meters!

"Old Zhong, let's go to the second floor first..."

Sisi grabbed the hem of her ancient dress with one hand, and carefully grabbed the handrail with the other hand to climb the wooden stairs.

The young couple ran around in the inn, and the other busy staff didn't say much.

In fact, it's not because the two are the two main characters, so it's hard to say.It's that the crew and the crew are all old drivers, and they can basically be seen as a couple.

For young people, it is normal to be curious about the surrounding shooting locations when you come to an unfamiliar crew.As long as it's not knocking, moving here and there to cause damage, who would be such a wicked person?

Everyone in the inn lobby was still busy, so the two could only climb up to the second floor first.

Then Zhong Yunqing followed his little girlfriend up to the second floor, looking down, the panoramic view of the inn lobby familiar from the TV series...

How should I put it, it looks really "magnificent and large in scale"!No wonder shopkeeper Tong said that this is "the most upscale and most luxurious five-star hotel" in Qixia Town!

Well, Zhong Yunqing couldn't blow it anymore.

Below are a few tables and some pots and pans.

In fact, in the TV series, the second floor where shopkeeper Tong is located, from the position of the stairs, you can clearly see that the right hand side of the door is a wall at all.It's not like the impression in the TV series, there are any channels or parties;

Then if you look up at the roof carefully, you can still see the white clouds drifting slowly in the sky...

Because this place has no roof, only the top of the studio built with steel structure.

That's right, the height of the entire shooting scene is the set!Behind the set are hidden various shooting instruments, various director rooms, and various lounges.

Then the eyes returned to the lobby, what was the front desk where Lu Xiucai was doing the accounting, and what was behind it?

In fact, it is the back wall of the hotel lobby, directly above it is the director's studio, where the director will monitor the entire set.

The right side of the lobby is the audience's blind spot, and the camera will hardly show it.

Based on the knowledge of lens perception that Zhong Yunqing has learned in his mind, he can clearly understand it from this angle.The opposite side of the dining table will be full of machines, such as video cameras, recording equipment, lighting equipment and the like.

As long as the filming starts, this position will be crowded with all kinds of behind-the-scenes creative personnel, "watching" opposite the actors!

Seeing this, Zhong Yunqing, who felt a bit shattered, couldn't bear to look directly at it.

But Sisi is not as full of "feelings" as he is, and she has never read Wulin Biography!

Sisi was filming the crew of Moon Shadow and Wind Lotus before, and almost all the buildings she shot were real shots!There is no scene like this built purely out of sets.

So the younger sister who didn't have much experience in filming, looked at all this in front of her, and found it even more fun.

So she became playful, carried herself away in front of the public, and took the initiative to hold Zhong Yunqing's hand.With a pure and curious face, he pulled him and went to the next scene together:

That is Shopkeeper Tong's boudoir...

Unsurprisingly, this so-called "boudoir" is also different from the one in the TV series.

The bed and table are real, and the rest of the wall is actually just a set.What do you mean, it is a background made entirely of curtains.

Sisi curiously touched it with her hand, and it turned out that her palm happened to be on the middle line connecting the two pieces of cloth, and when she touched it, she passed directly behind the cloth.Open a gap and look, behind that is Li Dazui's kitchen!

Then the two went to the backyard again.

When you leave the curtain that connects the lobby to the backyard, you will see a well first!

Of course, Zhong Yunqing is no stranger to this well, because there are too many stories about this well in the films that later generations have seen.

However, when the two of them approached curiously to find out, they found that the well was only about one meter deep.It is basically a small shallow pit made of props, and the edge of the well is also made of plastic!

With such a shallow "well", it's no wonder that in one episode, Xiao Guo can pretend to be a ghost and climb up from it to scare Mo Xiaobei...

Now that we are in the backyard, there is another scene where famous scenes gather, which is the roof of the inn!

You know, this is the exclusive "dating" place for Xiao Guo and Xiucai in the finished film!There are countless "lingering" love stories that happened here.

If they disagreed, they would go up to the roof, and if they disagreed, they would be thrown off.

Like the scene we visited before, the roof actually looks like a steel frame more than one meter high.There are some tiles on it.

As for why it looks a bit high in the finished film?

This question is well explained.For professional photographers, when the time comes to shoot, using light and visual deviation to create a false scene, these are just basic exercises!

When you come out from the backyard door, you will see the inn gate and aisle on the left, and here is a scene with a layout of about [-] square meters.On the opposite roof, a space is specially reserved for setting up shooting positions.

The shooting location of the whole martial arts rumor was not big, and the young couple wandered around in and out, up and down, and it took less than 5 minutes in total!Just finished skating...

However, when I returned to the rest area outside the lobby, I saw many familiar faces, discussing the shooting work.

Like Bright Sword, in order to save money, the crew of Wulin Gaiden also has some behind-the-scenes staff who specialize in guest roles in the plot.

For example, Xiaomi, who played a guest role as a beggar, is actually not a professional actor, but the scene controller of the crew; for example, the diners who played guest roles by the scene director and the crew;

This kind of multi-functional professionalism can only appear in the current period of professional ethics.

In the future, traffic is king and everything depends on money.There will never be such a dedicated crew again.

Just as she was about to leave and go back to the rest area, Sisi saw another interesting thing on the bulletin board.That's a real "map"

Zhong Yunqing used to listen to Xing Tutou and Lao Bai talking about Shibalipu, Xilianghe, and Zuojiazhuang in the play.I always fantasize about where these places are, and how far are they?

This map is so clear at a glance!

After watching it for a while, Sisi lost interest in continuing to wander around.

To be honest, Sisi suddenly felt a little at a loss when she thought that she and her boyfriend would be filming in such a small environment for the next five months.

After all, compared with the Yueying Fenghe crew she played in before, this poor crew is full of "poorness" everywhere!

Of course, she didn't have any malice in thinking this way, but she had never suffered such hardship before!So at a loss for a while.Do you think the films made by such a crew will really have a future?

Will the ratings be bad in the future?

So he pulled Zhong Yunqing to a corner, and whispered in his ear:

"Old Zhong, we won't be deceived, right? The shooting conditions here are terrible!"

Zhong Yunqing lightly flicked on her beautiful forehead, and bit her ear in the same way:

"'Judging people by their appearance' is not good, my sister. If you come here, you should settle down, film well, and don’t think about other things. If you have a film, it’s good! Just take it as an experience for you, don’t think about it!"

"Oh……"

Sisi was originally a carefree girl, and she felt that what her boyfriend said made sense.They come, the security.

Pouted, she looked back at the director and screenwriter who were talking about filming.

I thought to myself:

"That's right, since you've chosen to come here to film, let's film well."
