The filming of [The Wandering Earth] was very hard.

In terms of plot, the movie is actually relatively simple. The key is that the props are too heavy.

Gu Wei and Zhao Jinmai's civilian protective suits were better, but Li Guangjie and Meng Ziyi's military exoskeletons were hard to take off after putting them on.

It was really too complicated to put on and take off this prop and costume. It took 6 people to put it on for 90 minutes and 18 screws. Basically, it took a whole day of filming until the scene was over.

Guo Fan proposed to put adult diapers on some of them, but Li Guangjie and others collectively rejected it. It was too shameful. They didn't want to do it even for the sake of making a movie.

In the end, I had to drink less water. When I was really thirsty, I would drink a little bit to moisten my lips and throat, and then I would quench my thirst after filming.

"Brother Wei, why are you thinking of giving me this role? There are several female artists in our company, and the female stars under Jiaxing are also considered your employees."

After filming a scene, Meng Ziyi was "hanged" to rest on the side. He turned his head slightly and looked at Gu Wei beside him with some resentment.

Yes, they just hang while resting, because the exoskeleton protective suits they wear are too heavy. When they sit down, their whole body weight will instantly press on their shoulders. Since there is a mechanical backpack behind them, there is no support for their necks, and they cannot lie down.

So the crew originally designed a gantry that allowed actors wearing exoskeletons to rest - Li Guangjie and the others were like a row of roast ducks, hanging on the gantry to rest between shots.

The actor was okay, but Meng Ziyi, as a girl, was very ashamed, but she had no other choice. She was too tired and couldn't do it without taking a break.

"In a science fiction blockbuster with a cost of more than 400 million yuan, I will let you act if there is a suitable opportunity. Of course, it is because I like you." Although the role of Meng Ziyi has a lot of roles, it is difficult to stand out.

The actress in the original version was at the 18th level before she played the role. She didn't improve at all after the performance. Anyway, it didn't add much to her fame.

The little girls from Gu Wei Company, such as Tian Xiwei and Zhou Xi, would definitely not be able to play the role, and Nazha is not suitable in terms of style.

Zhang Tianai is capable of acting, but she is already the heroine of "Wolf Warrior 2" and "Operation Red Sea", so there is no need to play such a lackluster supporting actress.

Considering the image, acting skills, and celebrity status, Meng Ziyi is the most suitable.

She is now on the rise of her fame, and having such a role can be considered an important resume.

"Thank you." Meng Ziyi was clearly resolute and courageous in the scene just now, but now he was like a salted fish out of water.

"Don't be afraid of hardship at a young age. Look at Uncle Da, he is already 66, and he is working hard in a different way."

Gu Wei nuzzled his mouth, Meng Ziyi was sitting on the right front, and Wu Mengda was sitting on a chair, resting and taking oxygen.

He is too old and was diagnosed with heart failure in 2014. He has been in poor health in the past few years. He wears a helmet when acting and basically stops to take oxygen during a performance.

Wu Mengda has three wives and five children. Because he was fond of gambling in his early years, he was unable to save much money, so when he got older, he had to work hard in filming to support his ex-wife and children.

But he didn’t take on [The Wandering Earth] just for the money.

When Guo Fan approached Wu Mengda, the crew had no money and only gave him a salary of 200,000 yuan.

Mainly because he has played a buffoon all his life. The character Han Ziang in "The Wandering Earth" this time is really good. And although he worked hard after joining the team, he can still tell that this film is a really good movie.

He has been acting all his life and hopes to leave some positive images to the audience.

After a short break, shooting continued.

Today there is a scene in a movie where a team is transported upstairs from an elevator, but instead of taking the elevator, people are hoisted up from the elevator room with ropes.

In fact, it is to lift the wire, but everyone has to wear protective clothing weighing dozens of kilograms to lift the wire, which is more difficult.

Fortunately for Gu Wei, he was young and strong, and his physical fitness was really good. Even if he was carrying a heavy weight, he didn't find it difficult. His scene was almost repeated.

Guo Fan asked him to make a guarantee just to be on the safe side.

It will be difficult for Wu Mengda later on. Although the crew used a body double to complete some scenes where his face was not straight, he still had to do some scenes.

"Oh no, Teacher Wu fainted!" After a shot was missed, Guo Fan was preparing to organize various departments to reshoot, when the staff member who delivered oxygen to Wu Mengda suddenly shouted.

Gu Wei ran over immediately after hearing this.

Wu Mengda's face was pale at this time, his head was covered in sweat, his eyes were closed tightly, and his lips were trembling slightly.

"Doctor, doctor, come here!" It was the same as when filming [Wolf Warrior 2]. After the money was sufficient, the crew assigned a doctor, just to avoid any accidents.

"It may be caused by the palpitations caused by the shaking of the diaphragm. Resting and inhaling oxygen can alleviate it, but it is best to send it to a nearby hospital for examination."

The doctor ran over with a white medicine box, opened Wu Mengda's eyelids and took a look, and then listened to his heartbeat with a stethoscope.

As the crew doctor, he was clear about Wu Mengda's physical examination report before joining the cast and knew about his old problems.

"Quickly, help Uncle Da take off the props on his body and send him to the hospital immediately!" Guo Fan was very decisive. Although the doctor said there was no major problem, human life was at stake and there was no room for negligence.

Because of this accident, the half-day shooting in the afternoon was naturally canceled, and the director also went to the hospital with the car.

"How's it going? It's not a big problem, right?" Gu Wei saw Guo Fan coming back at the crew's hotel that night.

"It's okay. Just like the doctor on the set said, Mr. Wu is still not in good health due to his old age. In addition, the filming has put too much load on him. He just needs to take a rest."

"Fortunately, I was really shocked on the set today. It would be troublesome if something happened!" Gu Wei's heart dropped when he heard what Guo Fan said. Although nothing happened to Wu Mengda in the original time and space, But if there is no guarantee, there will be a butterfly effect.

"Although it's okay, I think Teacher Wu wants to stop acting. He's really too tired." Guo Fan looked very unhappy. Wu Mengda did a good job in the role of Han Zi'ang. If he were replaced, he wouldn't be very suitable for a while. , the crew lost a huge amount of money every day of delay.

"Uncle Da didn't tell you directly. Let him rest for two days and shoot other scenes first. Our drama is so good that he can't bear to give it up." Gu Wei thought for a moment after finishing speaking.

"Go back and find his agent alone, increase his salary by one plus, and work hard at the age of 66. 200,000 is a bit too little, and the crew is not short of money now.

I originally wanted to give these actors a big red envelope after the movie is released, but it seems that I can give it to Uncle Da first. He is really short of money at the moment."

"Okay, I understand how to do it." Seeing that the investor Gu Wei had spoken, Guo Fan naturally had no objection.

"It just so happens that tomorrow the Lei family will join the team, so we can start shooting the scene."
