My movie scared the global audience to tears

With Na Jiduo, a real rich man who owned a mine, Song Qi didn't show mercy at all when making the budget. All expenses were added to the budget list by him.

But it is a pity that there are not many opportunities to spend money when shooting movies on the territory of Naguido.

The hotel the crew stayed in was from Najido, the boat they used was from Najido, and even the meals the crew ate were cooked by Najido's personal chef, giving them absolutely top-notch treatment.

Therefore, Song Qi could only try to increase the salary of the crew members as much as possible, so that this batch of crew members had an illusion, as if they were not here to work, but on vacation.

Although the conditions here in Gango Province are not as convenient as those in Daxia, the crew enjoyed the aristocratic treatment provided by Chief Najido, which allowed the crew to experience the luxurious life of nobles and nobles in historical dramas, and they were a little happy to miss Shu.

However, Song Qi hired them here not for them to enjoy, but to work.

After returning from work, they won't care how they play Song Qi, but after turning on the computer, they must do their best to fulfill his requirements.

With the support of two movies, "Jaws" and "Deep Chill", Song Qi now has a certain reputation in the film industry. The crew members are very serious when working, and no one dares to touch his bad luck.

With the wholehearted cooperation of everyone, the filming of the movie progressed very quickly, and a quarter of the scenes were shot in less than two weeks.

But when filming the scene in which the Bigmei people sacrificed to the snake god Apep, the crew ran into trouble.

In order to create that primitive, simple and weird atmosphere, the crew went directly into the ruins of one of the largest Apep temples in the area to shoot at night.

This temple ruins is located on the bank of a tributary of the Gango River. It is said to be the oldest ruins in the area. It has always been a place for worship by the Bigmai people. Later, it was flooded several times due to the diversion of the river, and then it was gradually decommissioned.

of.

After renovating for a day during the day, the crew arrived here by boat at night to shoot the sacrificial scene.

But when the filming just started, a group of Bigmei people rushed into the set, yelling and driving the crew away quickly, and they were not allowed to film here.

They wear ancient national costumes, hold spears and bows and arrows in their hands, and have oil paint on their faces. They look scary at night.

None of the crew could understand their dialect. Fortunately, Song Qi hired many local extras, many of whom were from the Bigmai tribe.

Among them, the actor who played Xiao Hei came forward to stop the Bigmai people and negotiated with them.

Upon seeing this, Song Qi immediately called Najido.

This shooting location was arranged by Najido. If something went wrong, of course Najido would have to step in to solve it.

Xiao Hei negotiated for a while, returned to Song Qi, and explained to him.

Only then did Song Qi realize that although most of the Bigmai people in Gange Province had entered the city and adapted to modern life, there were still some Bigmai people living in the jungle like their ancestors, living together and living a peaceful life.

A relatively primitive life.

They still maintain their worship of Apep, and this temple is also their holy place. During the night, they do not allow outsiders to disturb Apep's sleep.

This kind of issue involving indigenous people and beliefs is more difficult. It is difficult to reason with these people because the two sides are not on the same logical line at all.

Didn't Guido say it was done? How could such a situation happen?

Soon, Song Qi knew what Na Jiduo's deal with it meant. Not long after he made the call, a security team rushed over.

They were Najido's private security team. Everyone was fully armed. When they arrived, they cursed at the Bigmai people and waved them away.

But the Bigmai people seemed to be even more angry, and they were fighting with each other, and the two sides were at war with each other.

With Xiao Hei's translation, Song Qi realized that it turned out that the private security team in Najido were also members of the Bigmai tribe, but they were just Bigmai tribesmen who had received modern education.

In the eyes of this group of primitive Bigmai tribesmen, these people are undoubtedly traitors who betrayed their tribe.

What's more, these traitorous tribesmen actually helped outsiders occupy the tribe's holy land, which made these primitive Bigmai tribesmen even more angry.

Seeing that these guys were very likely to start a fight, Song Qi couldn't stand any longer and hurriedly brought Xiao Hei to the middle to ease the atmosphere.

He asked Xiao Hei to translate his words to the original Bigmai people: "We are film workers from the friendly country of Daxia. We are here to promote the local culture. We can bring you more income and let you

Let us live in better conditions, let you have a safe place to live, let your children receive education, and let this place develop better."

Xiao Hei translated what he said, but the group of primitive Bigmai people couldn't listen at all, and they tried to drive them away over and over again.

"Director, don't waste your time. They won't listen at all. They only listen to the words of the patriarch and Apep."

Xiao Hei shook his head helplessly and said: "Their ideas are too stubborn. Once they decide that we are bad people, they will not change their minds."

Do you only listen to the words of the patriarch and Apep?

Song Qi's eyes moved and he ordered the crew to evacuate with the security team, leaving only Xiao Hei.

"Take me to meet their clan leader."

He gave instructions to Xiao Hei.

"Better not! It's too dangerous!"

Xiao Hei was a little panicked: "They are too barbaric. If we anger them, they might kill us for meat."

"I'm not afraid, so what are you afraid of?"

Song Qi asked him to convey his meaning.

Xiao Hei had no choice but to convey Song Qi's meaning to this group of Bigmai tribe members.

After hearing Xiao Hei's words, these Big Mai people started to argue in dissatisfaction, but a tall warrior in the lead stopped them.

He looked Song Qi up and down, then nodded and motioned for him to follow.

Song Qi took Xiao Hei behind him and walked into the jungle together.

The tall soldier walked in front, with binoculars hanging on his waist.

It was precisely because of seeing this telescope that Song Qi dared to take Xiao Hei on this trip.

Since they are using modern tools, it shows that they are not so opposed to modern civilization.

The tribe where the original Bigmai tribe lived was not far from the temple ruins, and we arrived at the place in a short time.

There are no electric lights in the tribe, only a few dim oil lamps.

Under the leadership of the tall warrior, Song Qi met the tribe leader. He was an old man who looked to be sixty or seventy years old. His skin was wrinkled like tree bark, and he wore a hat with the tail feathers of an unknown bird on his head.

The made-up ornament has a pair of turbid eyes, like two black holes in the darkness.

After meeting Song Qi, the old man greeted Song Qi in Daxia dialect: "Hello, Daxia people."

Song Qi was surprised and nodded and said hello: "Hello, patriarch, nice to meet you."

The biggest barrier to communication is language. Once the language is smooth, speaking becomes much easier.

After some exchanges, Song Qi learned that the old patriarch was actually a college student and had studied abroad in Daxia.

After returning to Congo Province, he served as a university teacher for a period of time, but later due to various reasons, he chose to leave the city and return to live in the rainforest.

He said that his roots are in the rainforest, where there is no complexity and pollution in the city, and everyone lives a pure life.

He even used the concept of Taoism and nature in Daxia Taoist culture to explain his life philosophy.

Song Qi realized that this was a wise old man and immediately stood in awe.

However, Song Qi still doesn't understand. Since he wants to return to nature, why does he need to use modern tools?

In the patriarch's room, there are many modern tools, such as alcohol stoves, hacksaws, hand files and other hand tools, and even an engineering shovel.

The patriarch explained that he does not reject modern civilization and hopes that the tribe can improve their lives with the help of modern tools.

He once encouraged the tribesmen to get out of the jungle and come into contact with modern civilization.

But the tribesmen had been living in the rainforest for a long time and did not know that people outside were sinister. After suffering many losses, he finally gave up this attempt.

He believes that since life can last only a few decades and he can live carefree in the jungle, why should he force himself to adapt to a completely different lifestyle?

Xiao Hei didn't understand his thoughts, thinking that he was compromising his status quo and letting his tribe remain barbaric for the sake of his own rule.

However, the clan leader said that he has never restricted the freedom of the clan members, and he has always encouraged the clan members to contact outsiders. If they are willing to live in outside cities, he will also fund the travel expenses.

But most people still choose to live in the jungle.

He asked Xiao Hei, what's wrong with choosing happiness between happiness and normality?

Xiao Hei was left speechless and unable to speak.

Song Qi was not in the mood to talk about these philosophical issues, so he asked the question he was concerned about: "Why do you want your tribe to organize the filming of our crew?"

Judging from the respect these clansmen have for the clan leader, the clansmen would not go to the set to cause trouble without the clan leader's order.

The clan leader also gave his own explanation. He said that some film crews had previously come to the rainforest to shoot documentaries and various film and television materials related to the clan.

At first he was very welcoming because he also wanted the world to see the Jungle Bigmai people.

But after watching those films, he was disappointed to find that, except for a few documentaries that could guarantee a certain degree of objectivity, the rest of the films contained strong subjective biases.

In particular, some film crews from the Free Federation, from a superior perspective, regarded the jungle Bigmai people as savages and as upright-walking chimpanzees.

Under this subtle influence, many citizens of the Afi country regard the Jungle Bigmai tribe as crazy savages.

This is unfair to the Jungle Bigmai people. All people are born equal. Different lifestyles are just different choices. They should not be criticized or ridiculed.

Moreover, the jungle Bigmai people are not as brutal and violent as those in those movies, let alone cannibalizing human flesh.

On the contrary, most jungle Bigmai people are very hospitable.

He didn't want the tribesmen to bear the name of barbarians, so he no longer welcomed the film crew. If a film crew came to the jungle to shoot, he would ask the tribesmen to drive them away, but he would also strictly explain that he was not allowed to hurt anyone.

After learning the reason, Song Qi felt relieved.

He immediately stated that what he was shooting was a feature film and he would not make the Jungle Bigmai tribe into a savage primitive tribe.

If the Jungle Bigmai people are willing to cooperate with the performance, he is willing to record the most authentic living conditions of the Jungle Bigmai people and show it to audiences around the world.

In this way, more and more tourists will travel to the local area, and the Jungle Bigmai people can also develop cultural tourism and homestay businesses. On the one hand, they can increase their income, and on the other hand, they can also enhance the relationship between the Jungle Bigmai people and

world communication.

The patriarch was a little moved, but still hesitant.

He was worried that tourists would destroy the ecology of the jungle, and he was even more worried that the nobles would be jealous of business and persecute the Bigmai people in the jungle.

Song Qi immediately said that he would come forward to talk to Chief Najido of Congo Province to fund cooperation with the tribe to build a tourist town where tribal people could work in the town.

At the same time, he will also personally contribute to the establishment of an education fund, so that all school-age children in the tribe can receive scholarships and receive education.

Xiao Hei confirmed the relationship between Song Qi and Chief Najido, and the chief finally felt relieved and agreed to Song Qi's suggestion.

Song Qi did not hesitate. After going back in the evening, he found Chief Najido and told him about the matter.

Chief Najido believes that there is no need to spend money to invest in these jungle Bigmai people who have not changed their ways. However, Song Qi said that the living conditions of the jungle Bigmai people are the core of cultural tourism, which can make up for the last piece of local cultural tourism.

Weakness - sense of ritual.

In the modern world where the level of modernization is highly unified, most regions are already highly similar. Cultural tourism is a process that allows tourists to experience different cultures.

Take Daxia's cultural tourism as an example. If a tourist goes to Tibet Province and is not offered a hada, it is a waste of time. If a tourist goes to Qin Province and does not eat a bowl of noodles or mutton dip, it is a waste of time.

But when I go to Guizhou, I have to drink mountain water while singing the songs of Miao girls to be satisfied.

Just like this, if you want to highlight the particularity of cultural tourism, you must explore the characteristics of the culture itself.

Chief Najido was persuaded by Song Qi and agreed to invest 50 million Afi coins to develop a tourist town for the Jungle Bigmai people.

Although this money is not much when converted into Daxia coins, it is already considered a large amount of money here.

After learning the news, the old patriarch enthusiastically invited Song Qi and the crew to the tribe, where they slaughtered cattle and sheep and drank all night. It was a very happy time.

After gaining the support of the Jungle Bigmai people, the filming of the movie was put on the schedule again, and the speed was greatly accelerated.

Under the guidance of the old patriarch, Song Qi revised the script and settings, changed the layout of the scene, and successfully completed the scene of worshiping the giant snake Apep.

And under the personal interpretation of the Jungle Bigmai people, the final filmed version was more solemn and majestic than he expected. Even the crew was shocked.

Song Qi was very satisfied. With such a real sacrificial scene that had never appeared in any film or television material, his movie was not in vain.

Time flies by so fast, and it’s the end of May in a blink of an eye.

On the last day of May, outside a temporary factory building on the banks of the Gango River, the crew shot the last scene.

"Snake God Apep" has been completed.
