my time as a director

After filming a conversation, Li Qian stopped and gave Ma Qingyang a good talk about the scene.

But Ma Qingyang had another problem, "Director Li, is there any deep meaning in this scene?"

"This is it"

Li Qian thought for a while and explained, "Mr. Ma, you have been very confident and flamboyant in the eyes of the outside world all these years. Few of our domestic entrepreneurs are more confident than you.

As for this fictional scene, think about it. At that time, our country was still very backward. As a person from a backward country, you saw with your own eyes the empire on which the sun never sets and the world’s hegemon at the flag-raising ceremony of Xiangjiang. The flag slowly fell.

The national flag of our own country is replaced, which symbolizes that our country is gradually returning to the height it should have. Witnessing all this, you feel very proud and proud in your heart, which inspires your inner self-confidence. As a member of the Chinese nation Therefore, whether facing the CEOs of the world's top [-] companies or the leaders of foreign leaders, we can maintain the confidence of a great country! "

"So that's how it is." Ma Qingyang's eyes lit up, and he nodded frequently. It turned out that such an ordinary scene had so much meaning.

Making movies is so much fun!

Li Qian secretly wiped away the sweat in his heart, Ma Qingyang just likes to ask questions, and every time he shoots a scene, he has to ask about the connotation.

In fact, this is just to highlight the leading actor. No matter whether it is Ma Qingyang or Ma Huagan, they all appear as supporting roles to set off the leading role.

And what Li Qian said, the self-confidence of a big country is also possessed by the hero. After all, he participated in the war back then and beat up the rice grains.

Of course, those who should be flattering still have to fool around, anyway, there are not many scenes.

After filming the scene, the crew moved to a Cantonese restaurant to shoot the two of them going south to Xiangjiang, and went to watch the flag raising ceremony with Ma Huagan. As the host, Ma Huagan invited him to have a meal and chat.

There was a scene with Ma Hua, and he started a video chat again, watching the whole process of filming, and raising some opinions from time to time.

"Director Li designed this scene very well. As entrepreneurs, we can't just make money. Money can be made at any time, but we also have a sense of national honor and mission."

Li Qian's heart ached, you can be more conscientious, don't pretend to create happiness with your heart, but in fact you don't have money to play tricks on you.

However, there are still two words of praise on the surface.

There's no way, what's wrong with someone making a guest appearance for free and saying a few nice words.

The scene in Ninghang was filmed continuously for five days, which basically ended the scenes of Ma Huagan and Ma Qingyang. Only the scene of raising the national flag was left, and another shot was left.

Without making any adjustments, Li Qian took the crew to charter a flight to Xinjiang overnight.

From Ninghang to Xinjiang, Li Qian crossed more than half of Huaguo and came to Lop Nur, a place known as the "Sea of ​​Death".

This is also the location where the first domestic mushroom egg was developed and tested, and it is also the filming location where the movie was born.

On the way to the filming location of the crew, Su Lun looked out the window at the sky full of yellow sand, and said curiously, "Didn't the data say that the environment in Lop Nur is harsh and sandstorms are raging? It seems to be similar to the Gobi in many places in the northwest."

"The weather is pretty good today, so it's not a bad time." This is also the first time for Li Qian to come here, so he can only guess like this.

"In fact, there is no need to come here. It takes more than seven hours to travel from Ninghang to Wushi by plane, and another seven hours by car from Wushi to Lop Nur. It takes more than a day to go back and forth, plus rest and adjustments. At least three or four days of delay." Qi Yukun said.

"It's only three or four days, and the crew is not bad these days. Besides, for this kind of sacred plot, only coming to this land of death is the respect for history." Li Qian smiled and explained, "This It was also requested by Teacher Li Xuejian. He said that it was the biggest regret in his life to be born out of nowhere to play General Zhang. This time, I agreed as soon as I invited him. The only request was to be able to shoot the speech scene in Lop Nur. It can be regarded as making up for the regret. , Teacher Li Xuejian came here half a month ago to prepare."

Qi Yukun no longer had any doubts, and said with emotion, "I really, every time I watch Boss's movie, it looks like a commercial film on the surface, and you said the same thing, Boss, but after thinking about it, there are many reasons, including What I said to Ma Qingyang a few days ago made sense to me."

Li Qian shook his head, "What's unreasonable? It's reasonable if you can listen to it and think about it. Otherwise, it's a bluff, and it's essentially a commercial film. The purpose of this mushroom egg plot is to mobilize the audience's emotions. After all, this is a very passionate film. , a very exciting historical event.”

"That is to say, boss, you always say that your films don't make sense, so I obviously feel a lot, but I'm still not sure." Qi Yukun smiled wryly.

"Okay, if you have the energy to study Lu Xun's books more, the words of a person who has been degraded as a god are much more meaningful than these movies." Li Qian waved his hand, and he was also idle, thinking about it all day .

"A person who has been degraded as a god?" Su Lun was a little surprised that Li Qian called Lu Xun that way, and asked involuntarily, "Boss, what do you mean?"

Li Qian rolled his eyes, lowered the mount of the business car, and lay down directly, "I'm a little tired, lie down first, and call me when we arrive."

Qi Yukun and Su Lun looked at each other, a little helpless, and began to discuss the meaning of Li Qian's words in a low voice.

After more than seven hours of driving, the convoy of the crew finally arrived at the legendary "Sea of ​​Death".

However, Lop Nur doesn't look that scary.

A regiment sent by the local military region had thousands of soldiers waiting in line. Li Qian was actually quite embarrassed to see these soldiers who were supposed to defend their homes and the country being brought in to make a movie.

This scene required more than 1000 people, and the military region and armed police supported 5000 people.

Although it is not as good as those movies that use more than [-] or hundreds of thousands of troops to shoot, but for a non-physical director and a commercial film, it is already large enough, and it is already the biggest support.

Of course, it's not as good as turning out to be out of the sky, and this piece of sub-light satellites used eight.

Directors and actors now have fame and fortune, but their political status is declining, far from what it was more than ten years ago.

There are gains and losses, for sure.

With a director like Li Qian 20 years ago, the scene would have been different.

The 5000 soldiers and troops are still because of just one scene, listening to Li Xuejian's speech is over. If it goes well, one day is enough. Otherwise, if it is troublesome, there must be no such big support.

At that time, the city was full of golden armour, and it was only supported by nearly a thousand troops. However, it was not just a day of sitting and filming, it took a long time, it was completely used as a group performance.

Compared with these 5000 people sitting in one day to complete the work, the treatment is actually similar.

I first went to express my thanks to a leader who led the team, let the army rest, and the filming has not started yet.

He also met Teacher Li Xuejian again, but Li Qian was stunned by this sight.

"How did you get so thin?"

Chapter 451 Make a Mushroom Egg and Straighten Your Back!

"What's wrong with you?"

Li Qian looked at Li Xuejian with some uncertainty. It was only a month since the last time he contacted him to invite him to play, and now he seemed to have lost at least 20 catties.

And they are all thin and unhealthy, and their skin is rougher and darker than before.

Although the whole person looks a lot haggard, Teacher Li Xuejian's spirit is better than before, his eyes are full of firmness, and the demeanor standing in front of Li Qian is not at all like a nearly 60-year-old old man. They must stand upright.

His voice was a little hoarse, and he said sincerely to Li Qian, "Thank you Director Li for making such a movie and giving me the opportunity to play this role again. When I was in the role, I felt uncomfortable in my heart, and I will never forget it for the rest of my life."

Li Qian understood that the purpose of coming to the Gobi half a month in advance was to lose weight, to endure the scorching sun and erosion of yellow sand, and to make himself look like this.

"Born Out" is a movie from 99. It is a classic movie with the main theme. Whether it is Teacher Li Xuejian, or Li Yunlong, who was a handsome young man back then, the performances are impeccable.

However, teacher Li Xuejian said in an interview that the people at that time and the environment in that era were very difficult, and they had just finished the War to Resist Rice and Aid Korea, so they should be very thin. fat.

He also said that when he was not famous, he was acting in a stage play, playing Mr. Lin in order to look like him, and lost more than 20 catties. That drama was recognized in the circle. After filming "" because of his longing, he lost weight at that time and lost weight for a month. We weighed more than 20 catties.

The Commander in "Born Out" was filmed after he became famous, so why did I lose weight when I filmed this role, and I feel ashamed about it.

Just because he is fat, there has been such a knot in his heart all his life.
