The bard joins the entertainment industry

Liu Dehua looked at the playback on the monitor and felt sincerely happy.

He could clearly see that there was a huge difference between the effect of this time and the first time.

Next, whenever he had free time, Andy Lau held the script and pondered his lines line by line.

He also consulted Chen Shuo and Zhang Yimou from time to time.

One asks whether the practice is correct, and the other asks whether the final effect is good.

As the crew was filming day by day, the filming in Ukraine soon came to an end.

There is only one last battle left in the sea of ​​flowers.

On October 23, when I woke up early in the morning, light snow suddenly began to fall in the sky, indicating that the snow season in Ukraine had arrived early.

Looking at the slowly falling snowflakes, the whole crew couldn't help but feel worried.

With the irrigation and fertilization during this period, the results of the flower field gradually improved.

If the original effect was only three or four points as imagined, it is now five or six points, and with sufficient nutrients, it seems that the shooting conditions can be met in a few days.

The effect was getting better and better, but unexpectedly it started to snow.

How can this make everyone not worried?

Zhang Yimou ordered: "Zhenyan, go and see how the flower field is doing?"

"Okay!" Zhang Zhenyan quickly found someone and rushed to the flower field with Zhang Yimou.

Arriving at the flower field quickly, Zhang Yimou and others couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it only snowed a little bit here at the station, but not at the flower field.

"Call everyone here immediately and hurry up and take pictures!"

Since everything was prepared early at the station, we arrived at our destination in less than half an hour.

I looked at the dark clouds in the sky and saw that the sky was not very bright.

At this time, even Zhao Xiaoding, who has always pursued perfection, did not dare to say wait any longer.

We can only ask the lighting engineer to set up the lighting well and seize the time to start shooting.

When I woke up in the morning, I could clearly feel that today was much colder than yesterday.

If the temperature drops any further, these flowers will wither immediately, and time waits for no one.

Originally, Zhang Yimou rented a piece of land of dozens of hectares and planted 100,000 flower seedlings.

I dreamed of growing a sea of ​​waist-high flowers that filled the mountains and fields.

However, when I came to see it, it was completely a piece of grass.

After careful care, the flower field at this time was still far from meeting his requirements.

Not only are the flower plants only knee-high. It is even more sparse and scattered here and there.

After arriving at the flower field, Zhang Yimou began to ask everyone to shovel out the flowers and mud in the distance and move them to an area.

The excavated open space should be covered with wild grass as much as possible.

At the same time, the props team was also asked to borrow dozens of pots of flowers of similar colors and shapes from nearby fellow villagers’ homes as a supplement.

By noon, a sizable sea of ​​flowers had taken shape, and the crew was already ready.

Before the shooting started, Zhang Yimou took Chen Shuo and Liu Yifei and told them: "You two will ride horses from both ends to the sea of ​​flowers.

I want the feeling of horse hooves falling and flower petals flying.

Two people and two horses, carrying petals all over the sky, approached each other quickly.

Playing in slow motion, there must be an ultimate sense of romance.

After getting close to a certain distance, the two people dismounted at the same time, and then ran towards each other.

Have a smile on your face, be happy, and have joy from within.

In short, I want you to show a feeling that all happiness, contentment, joy, and all beautiful emotions will be pushed to the extreme at the moment when the two of them embrace each other.

have you understood? "

"I understand." Chen Shuo and Liu Yifei nodded solemnly.

"Okay, let's start." Zhang Yimou waved his hand for the two of them to prepare, while he sat in front of the monitor to see the effect.

That's what I say when I'm talking about acting, but it's not that simple when I'm filming.

Since the sea of ​​​​flowers was still very complete at this time, Zhao Xiaoding set up a camera and prepared to shoot the scene of the two people galloping towards each other from a high altitude.

First, we filmed Chen Shuo flying from a distance, rushing into the flowers for a short distance, then stopped, and then started filming Liu Yifei rushing from the other side.

Then shoot the scene where the two of them enter the frame at the same time and run away to meet again.

Then you have to shoot from the front, side, back, etc.

When taking pictures, someone will scatter the collected petals next to you, creating a feeling of flying horses stepping on the flowers and petals flying around.

I spent the whole afternoon shooting these shots, and the originally beautiful flower field was completely ruined by the two men trampling on their horses.

However, it is worth it. Looking at the captured footage, both Zhao Xiaoding and Zhang Yimou are very satisfied.

It's this feeling, both romantic and broken.

When the two horses were only tens of meters apart, they jumped off at the same time and ran towards each other at full speed.

Just as the two were about to embrace each other, there was a sudden sound in the air.

The younger sister, with her keen hearing, noticed it first and recognized it as her father's knife-throwing skill, Lao Yan Fen Fei.

Knowing its characteristics, she quickly flew out the dagger as a means of saving her life and knocked down one of the flying knives.

Then he stepped forward and blocked another one using himself as a shield.

After this incident, Suifeng could only watch in shock as the little girl fell into the flowers.

The sprayed blood dropped drop by drop on the petals, making them look crystal clear.

After reacting, he quickly hugged his little sister in panic and desperately called her name.

At the same time, Capt. Liu, who looked equally astonished, walked out of the woods and blamed Sui Feng for accidentally killing his daughter.

The three exchanged words and explained the plot, and the hatred in their hearts caused the two men to fight.

However, this scene could not be filmed in one day. It took two days of continuous filming before Chen Shuo and Liu Dehua were filmed fighting.

Under the devastation of trampling and cold air, the flowers in the flower field have gradually begun to break and wither, making everyone feel a sense of urgency.

The entire crew was like a stretched machine, running under high load.

Early the next morning, just as everyone was planning to shoot a fight scene, they discovered that twenty centimeters of snow had fallen outside.

He stepped on it and dug half of his calf into it.

When Zhang Yimou and Zhang Zhenyan ran to the flower field and took a look, all the flowers were covered with snow.

Moreover, it is obvious that the branches, leaves and flowers have withered and withered.

This bad news hit Zhang Yimou's heart like a bolt from the blue.

The entire crew was like the sky outside, covered with dark clouds and cold wind.

After asking locals. I learned that they didn’t know how long the snow would last or when it would melt.

However, even if it stops now, the snow will melt soon, and everyone will face a major problem.

The scene is gone.

The flowers were frozen to death, withered, and could no longer be used.
