King of Special Effects

Zhenbeibao Film and Television City.

Although it is not as busy as Hengdian, it is also one of the top ten film and television bases in China, a famous 5A-level scenic spot, and there are still many tourists.

Simple, primitive, rough, desolate and folk are the characteristics here.

This place was originally a frontier fortress in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Like Yumen Pass, even if it is developed into a tourist attraction, it will give people a sense of historical vicissitudes.

Yi Yang likes this kind of place very much.

In an afternoon, Yi Yang first visited all the places in the scenic spot, only to find that there are only a few places suitable for filming the movie he is about to shoot, and he can shoot at most a dozen shots.

Yi Yang didn't feel a little disappointed, then turned on the electronic map on his phone and continued to look for the next destination.

To restore a historical battle, just like "Zi Heights", the best way is to visit the ruins of the battlefield.

According to some information found on the Internet, and then use satellite maps to check the approximate location of the ruins.

Starting from here, it is a long journey to the Western Regions of the motherland, so Yi Yang had to discuss it with everyone.

Yi Yang marked the location of the ruins of Shule City on the map, and said to Yuan Zhengzhong and the others: "As soon as Jiang Zhihe and the director arrive, we have to visit this place."

"At the northern foot of Tianshan Mountain, we have to detour to Ebony City, right?"

"Walk at high speed, but it's fast. More than 20 hours, even if you walk while resting, the slowest time is two or three days."

Yi Yang now feels that it was a mistake to turn back here from Yumen Pass. If he knew it earlier, he would go directly to Wumu. Now he has to cross the Hexi Corridor for the third time.

However, if you want to make this movie well, you really have to work hard.

Yi Yang looked at the car parked in the parking lot of the hotel that had been covered in dust and could not be seen directly. This car belonged to Yuan Zhengzhong. There is a highway to Wumu City, but the road conditions to the ruins area are unknown, so drive this car To go is to play a big adventure.

If you think about it carefully, there is no need for so many people to go this time.

Yi Yang chooses a few people, and the rest will return to Shunning after playing here for two days.

Yuan Zhengzhong is a professional cameraman and knows a little about scene selection. Yi Yang has to wear him everywhere, including Ling Lan, Jiang Zhihe, four of them.

Yi Yang took out the notebook from his bag, wrote down the names of several people first, and brought Huang Yang and four people with him, a total of eight people and two cars.

Yi Yang's own off-road vehicle and an SUV borrowed from Bai Tang should be enough.

In the evening, Yi Yang told everyone about his decision, and everyone agreed.

Yi Yang is not here, Tan Xincheng is the boss, and he will lead the rest of the people back to Shunning.

······

At noon the next day, Jiang Zhihe's plane landed smoothly, and Yi Yang picked him up at the exit of the airport.

After not seeing each other for several months, Jiang Zhihe still had such a kind smile: "Ayi!"

"Master!" Yi Yang gave him a small hug: "Are you here alone?"

"And Amin, he's waiting for his luggage!"

"Brother Ming is coming too?" Yi Yang said with a joyful expression, "With Master and Brother Ming here, I feel more at ease."

Yi Yang just chatted with Jiang Zhihe while waiting. Ten minutes later, Amin came out from the exit dragging a medium-sized suitcase.

"Yi Yang, we meet again!" A Ming shook hands with Yi Yang: "We haven't seen each other for a few months, so I have to call you Director Yi Da, you are amazing!"

Yi Yang took the luggage, put it in the trunk, and rushed to the city to meet other people in the studio.

On the way, Yi Yang told Jiang Zhi and the two of them that he wanted to visit the ruins of the ancient battlefield.

Jiang Zhihe agreed, as a senior director, he also knows that some preparations before filming are very necessary.

And the more prepared you are, the smoother it will be when it comes time to shoot.

When they came to the hotel parking lot where everyone in the studio stayed overnight, Yuan Zhengzhong and his group were already waiting there.

Jiang Zhihe is a famous TV drama director, but Yuan Zhengzhong and the others are old acquaintances with him, and they often met in Hengdian, so there is no strange feeling when they meet now.

"Director Jiang!" Yuan Zhengzhong shook hands with them, "Brother Ming!"

"Brother Yi, the place to eat has been arranged. It's right next to you. Let's eat first."

During lunch time, everyone chatted about what to do next while eating.

According to what Yi Yang said, some people in the studio went back home after visiting several tourist attractions in the plan, and then Yi Yang took Yuan Zhengzhong and others to Wumu City.

After confirming the business, Jiang Zhihe and Yi Yang began to chat about "Zi Gaodi".

"Ah Yi, I really didn't expect that your "Zi Gaodi" cost five million yuan to be shot so well." Jiang Zhihe first expressed his thoughts: "If I were asked to shoot, the five million yuan would be so good." I'm afraid I can't even shoot a third of the money."

On this point, I believe that the main location for the filming of "Zi Gaodi" is in my own home, and there is no need to spend money, and the group performances are all friendly prices. If Jiang Zhihe is allowed to shoot, 5 million is probably only enough to rent the venue And actor box lunch.

"I just came here blindly. There are many problems, and everyone helped to solve them."

"Problems that can be solved won't be a problem when we encounter them next time. Experience is accumulated little by little." Jiang Zhihe took a sip of tea: "I've watched "Zi Gao Di" five or six times, and they all read it in detail. When I first watched it, I thought this movie was shot by a big domestic director."

"Because it's unbelievable that a director who has only made one microfilm, my apprentice A Yi, can produce such a high-quality work for his debut."

"Speaking out, my master's face is full of light. The blue is better than the blue. Ah Yi, I'm afraid I have to worship you as my teacher to make movies."

Jiang Zhihe thought for a while, and continued: "This time, I plan to discuss with you, how about I be an assistant director in your next film?"

Yi Yang was flattered: "Master, I can't let you be an assistant director. If you want, I'll give you the script, and you can direct."

"No, although the directors of TV dramas and movies are filming, there is a big difference between the two. I have been filming TV dramas for decades, and some things have become a habit. If I are asked to direct, I will only follow Follow the path of filming TV dramas."

"This is a big taboo. The audience is sharp-eyed, and they can see it."

These rhetoric really made Yi Yang speechless, but Jiang Zhihe was his master, so asking him to be an assistant director under his apprentice was really unacceptable.

Yi Yang thought for a while and said: "How about this, master, we two master and apprentice co-directed this film, I have been thinking these days that this film involves too much, with you as the master, the filming will be smoother .”

"Then I want to read the script?" Jiang Zhihe seemed to agree with Yi Yang's proposal.

Ling Lan took out the printed script from her bag, and handed it to Jiang Zhihe in a thick stack.

Jiang Zhihe looked at the cover: "It's blank, are you still not sure about the name of the movie?"

Yi Yang and Ling Lan looked at each other and smiled: "Not really!"

Forehead!

Jiang Zhihe let go of the script: "Ah Yi, you always don't know which comes first, the chicken or the egg. It's never too late to prepare some things after you file the script for review, otherwise if the film bureau doesn't let you shoot, Isn’t that a waste of money, a waste of work?”

Yi Yang also knows this, and this time he is here for tourism, and by the way, he is looking forward to some of the imagined filming locations.

Yi Yang really didn't think too much about it, after all, the content of the script has not been revised yet, so the filing and review can only be done after the script is finalized!

PS: I have something to delay today, there is only one chapter, I will add it tomorrow, thank you for your support, thank you very much!
