The filming location of "The Legend of Hongmen Banquet" came to Dunhuang.

Duobagou and Li Renggang chose this place during the location selection process.

Adjacent to the Duobagou Populus Gorge Scenic Area, there are yellow sands everywhere and Populus euphratica standing tall, creating a chilling atmosphere.

We are both located in the northwest, and the setting style is roughly similar to the Gobi scenery in Xingye's "Westward Journey".

However, Zhenbeibao Western Cinema, where Westward Journey was filmed, retains the original earth fort style, without the grand feeling of the Chu-Han struggle for supremacy.

The outdoor shooting location is in the Gobi Desert, with a wide view, cliffs on three sides, and the only access road in the back extending to the town.

When he saw this for the first time, Cheng Shuo thought of Yubi City during the Southern and Northern Dynasties.

The wind and sand in this area were a bit too strong, especially with more than 300 staff members rushing around, and soon there was a layer of yellow sand above Cheng Shuo's head.

The makeup artist took the trouble to dust off the gravel on Cheng Shuo's head, raised the awning, and meticulously compared Cheng Shuo's appearance.

Originally it was difficult to shoot big scenes, and with the sudden strong wind today, the camera was covered with a yellow filter.

Li Rengang held up the awning between his eyebrows with his hands, glanced at the sun that was gradually setting in the west, turned around and urged: "Everyone, speed up."

The sound from the loudspeaker seemed to be directed at everyone, but only Liu Yiqian showed a slightly aggressive expression.

This scene went over and over again, but something went wrong with her.

Cheng Shuo could also see that she seemed to be holding back the pain and clenched her fists unconsciously.

Nothing unusual can be seen from the long shot, but when the camera zooms to a close-up, it can be seen that the sweat on her forehead has mixed with the yellow sand, and her hair has become tangled due to it.

She lost her fairy spirit, but she became a little more pitiful.

Cheng Shuo was closer to her and couldn't help but frown secretly, "What's wrong with you?"

Liu Yiqian wanted to raise her head, but the pain hit her again. She couldn't help biting her lip and whispered: "It's going to rain."

Cheng Shuo looked up and saw that the sky was still bright. Although clouds were gathering in the distance, they would not reach here for a while.

He joked: "Can you still predict? Little weather forecast."

Liu Yiqian's hand reached her neck, "My cervical vertebra hurts."

Cheng Shuo raised his eyebrows, "Rheumatism?"

Liu Yiqian turned her neck and found a slightly more comfortable angle: "I was injured while filming before."

"Can I still continue filming?"

Liu Yiqian could no longer nod, but still said forcefully: "No problem."

Cheng Shuo sighed, "Forget it, I'll rub it for you."

He does have this skill, he learned it from those martial artists during the filming of "Qi Men Dun Jia".

These dragon and tiger martial arts masters are all members of Yuan Baye's team, and injuries from injuries are inevitable. In order to keep up with the progress, they have to endure minor injuries and resolve them on their own.

Cheng Shuo had a lot of bumps and bruises on the set, and also learned some massage techniques.

Although it is not professional, it is a summary of previous experience, which is better than nothing.

"Forget it, I'm used to it, just bear with it and it'll be fine."

Liu Yiqian looked at Cheng Shuo suspiciously, not trusting him a bit.

After all, this involves bones, and if the hand is stronger, it will cause hemiplegia. She does not want Cheng Shuo to try it easily.

"All right."

Cheng Shuo didn't say much. Since she said she could persevere, she would finish the work as soon as possible before it gets worse.

If you return to your hotel early, you can also find some professional doctors to solve the problem early.

But she is really a little miserable now.

Her face was covered with yellow sand, and her fake metal allergy caused some small red spots to appear on her face. Her neck was stiff, and a gust of wind would make her look stinging.

Cheng Shuo sighed, people are indeed different.

Many people work hard to rest on their laurels, but she has to work hard to rest on her laurels.

Propping himself up, Cheng Shuo turned to the props team.

The weather is hot now and the sun is shining brightly, so the crew has stored a lot of ice cubes to prevent the actors from getting heat stroke.

He chewed two ice cubes first, then asked for a hot water bottle, then wrapped it in a towel and handed it to Liu Yiqian.

"First apply a hot compress to relieve the pain."

"Thanks."

She hesitantly took the hot water bottle. It was blocked by a layer of towels and it was not that hot after taking the hot water bottle.

Somewhat warm.

Liu Yiqian wrapped it in her hand and kept kneading it on her neck.

After rubbing it for a few minutes, her brow gradually relaxed. Although she was still a little sore, she could barely hold on.

"Director, I'm ready, let's continue."

Li Rengang nodded and said hello again, "Let's try to get through and go back quickly."

Cheng Shuo raised his eyes and looked at the sky. The dark clouds were indeed getting closer and closer. The weather forecast was quite accurate.

It won't rain very much...

Then he relaxed his mind. Dunhuang is called "extreme drought", and no matter how heavy the rain is, it can get worse.

...

The crew of "Legend of Hongmen Banquet" had quite a lot of scenes here, mainly because of an extra stinky and long plot.

In order to defeat Liu Bang, Xiang Yu asked him to send Yu Ji back to safety, and in disguise made Liu Bang withdraw from the battle for Xianyang.

It’s not hard to guess what Li Rengang’s thoughts were when he created this section. First of all, Liu Yiqian didn’t have much of a role to play, so starting from this section also gave her a stage.

Secondly, there is really no ink in his stomach.

Their structure is not big, and the whole story seems a bit petty when taken apart.

Fortunately, he, like other directors who filmed this period of history, made the character of Xiang Yu infinitely better.

The shooting was not very smooth. Even with a large number of people, the wind and sand could not be avoided.

This period of life made him look like "New Dragon Gate Inn".

After another NG, Li Rengang took off his glasses and rubbed his eyebrows.

The sun was setting in the west, and there was not much time left for everyone. He gritted his teeth and said, "One more, or if it doesn't work, withdraw."

Looking at his movements, the recorder nodded while holding the board: "Get ready, Act 3, Scene 3, Fourteenth..."

Tick ​​tock.

A raindrop fell on the back of his hand.

The reporter raised his head blankly, and another drop of rain fell on his eyebrows.

Li Rengang also saw the wet marks inside and frowned, "It's raining. Let's clean up quickly. Let's go here today."

Everyone responded in unison and began to pack up their equipment unhurriedly.

Liu Yiqian's neck hurt even more. Without the camera's attention, the pain on her face was not concealed.

Cheng Shuo pulled her under the awning and said sarcastically with a cold face: "I heard that some silly girls don't know how to run under the eaves when it rains. I thought I was living in a joke, but I didn't expect that there are such stupid girls in reality.

"

Liu Yiqian took a moment to glance at him in pain, snatched the hot water bottle from his hand, and looked at the sky worriedly.

"It's okay. It's extremely dry here and it won't rain much. Just wait until the car comes."

Liu Yiqian opened her mouth, "I didn't realize that you are quite experienced."

Cheng Shuo touched his face and recalled a little, "When I was filming Fairy Sword III, we encountered a typhoon and a bunch of people were locked up in a hotel for two days and two nights. Compared to this..."

While he was still talking, the rain suddenly started, almost instantly, like a mountain roaring and a tsunami.

Heavy raindrops hit the awning, making a winter-winter sound.

"..."

Liu Yiqian grinned and stretched her neck where lactic acid had accumulated. The pain flashed away and she continued to laugh:

"It turns out it's because of you! I've seen singers and movie stars, and I've heard of carpet stars. This is the first time I've seen disaster stars."
