Gongga Snow Mountain is located in Kangding City, Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Region, Sichuan.
Located on the southern edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the highest peak is more than 7,000 meters high!
Anyone who has studied geography knows that for every 100 meters of altitude increase, the temperature will drop by about 0.6 degrees.
Zhang Yuan and the others have been filming for more than two months since they joined the group, and it is now the end of October.
The temperature on the Yamashita studio was in the early 10s.
The crew plans to actually shoot. Although they don’t have to go to the top of a mountain more than 7,000 meters high, the filming location agreed with Gongga Scenic Area is also more than 5,000 meters above sea level!
In order to keep out the cold, the crew prepared thick down jackets for everyone, and everyone was wrapped like rice dumplings.
In order to avoid modern buildings and tourists, the crew found a very remote location.
Everyone had to ride for half an hour to the Snow Mountain Cable Car, and then take the cable car for half an hour.
After getting off the cable car, there was snow all over the place. Let alone cars, even tanks couldn’t drive.
Everyone still had to hike for an hour to get to the set.
In other words, it takes more than two hours one way, and it takes four points to go back and forth in one day.
Otherwise all other people’s films are shot in special effects studios, but Wang Xinming has a unique style and loves realism.
Since the commute was too long, the crew simply found a guide and brought more than a dozen large tents and heating equipment with them, planning to simply live in the snow-capped mountains.
This way you don’t have to spend four or five hours every day.
"Everyone, be careful. The snow on Gongga Snow Mountain looks very thick, but in fact there are hidden pits in many places." A guide said while walking.
“In some places, there is only a thin layer of ice or dry grass underneath. If you step on the air, you will fall into the ice hole below.” My life is lost here."
After hearing this, the director quickly waved his hand: "It's not as serious as you said!"
It's not that he doesn't believe the guide, but he is afraid that the other party's words will scare the actors. Now, what should I do if the show stops?
"Yes, don't be afraid. As long as you follow our footsteps, you'll be fine." The guide hurriedly added apologetically.
For most of the scenes on the snow, there are only four main actors.
Zhang Yuan, Shu Chang, Ji Chunhua, Sixth Teacher.
According to the plot, after the Blood Knife Ancestor kidnapped Shui Sheng, he was chased by Nan Siqi and fled back to his hometown with Di Yun.
After entering the snow-capped mountains, they encountered an avalanche, which sealed the entrance to the valley. The four survivors were trapped for less than half a year.
"Be careful." Zhang Yuan supported Shu Chang with one hand, and the two of them trudged forward in the snow.
"Thank you, Brother Yuan." Shu Chang smiled sweetly, and a layer of white frost had already accumulated on her long and curled eyelashes.
The actors were quite relaxed. There were workers to help carry their luggage, and each person only needed to bring a backpack.
Zhang Yuan wanted to carry Shu Chang's bag on his back, but the other party was unwilling to burden him, so he couldn't resist her and let her go.
“Oh shit!”
As they were walking, they suddenly heard an exclamation coming from the team.
Zhang Yuan quickly turned around and found that director Wang Xinming was half shorter than usual, as if he was squatting in the snow.
He didn't even have to think about it. He stepped forward, grabbed the director's arm and lifted him up, then brought him up.
“Oh my god!”
Director Wang shook the snow off his boots, his heart still beating wildly.
He didn't fall through the ice hole, he just stepped on a big hole and was frightened half to death.
【Received a thank you from Wang Xinming, drinking +1! 】
He just said it was not that serious, but he was the first to have an accident.
"Director Wang, you are not young, let the guide help you walk."
"Yes!" The director hurriedly squeezed together with a guide in red.
"Teacher Zhang, please be careful. Let me help you." Zhang Yuan turned to look at Mr. Liu beside him.
Except for Director Wang, he is the oldest among this group of people, almost forty-five, so Zhang Yuan expressed concern.
Who didn’t have a “monkey” in their childhood who wore bright eyeshadow and yellow monk robes?
Meeting so many actors on so many crews, this is the first time that Zhang Yuan even wanted to sign autographs and take photos.
In his eyes, Teacher Six is not only an actor, but also a childhood idol.
"No need!" Mr. Liu was still as cold and serious as before at the dinner, and blocked his arm.
"I'm not that old." After saying that, he walked forward without looking back.
Zhang Yuan smiled awkwardly and retracted his arm.
Shu Chang on the side looked at Teacher Six with a pout, his eyes full of dissatisfaction.
Although he is also a childhood idol of singing, but the attitude towards her distant brother is not what an idol can do.
Teacher Six's idea is very simple.
He feels that he is physically strong, has a foundation in Kun Opera and monkey opera, and has more flexible hands and feet than ordinary young people, so he doesn't need anyone else to help him.
He felt that he was in the prime of life and needed no help from others.
Zhang Yuan said no more, turned around and walked with Shu Chang, chatting happily.
We arrived at the shooting area smoothly. Teacher Six followed the guide and was the first among the crew to climb to the top.
He looked back at Zhang Yuan: "You are so young and tired."
"Look at me, I am not even breathing!"
I was breathing heavily, and I was panting like a machine. The V8 engine seems to be the sixth teacher said.
He still remembered what happened just now, and wanted to prove that he was in good physical condition.
Why are you still a little childish... Zhang Yuan smiled and nodded in response, thinking at the same time.
Through contact, he also felt that this person's emotional intelligence was not very high.
But I have to say that Mr. Liu is really dedicated to his work.
As soon as he put down his luggage, others were still repairing and eating to regain their strength, so he got his spear from the props.
In the film, Hua Tiegan uses an iron gun.
And this gun can be divided into two short guns.
The prop team originally wanted to use polyester fiber to make the spear, but Teacher Six asked before coming to the set that it must be a real thing!
Why?
Because the stick is the ancestor of the gun, he is the best at playing with sticks, and he is an expert at this stuff.
Although sticks are often mentioned together, there are actually differences between the two things.
The stick is very simple, slender and equal in thickness from front to back.
The stick is different. It has a thin end and a thick end. The thick end is held in the hand, and the thin end is used for hitting.
So the one who beats the drum is called drum stick, and there is no one called drum stick.
According to this statement, in fact, the props in "Journey to the West" are not accurate. The Dinghai Shenzhen is also known as the Ruyi Golden Cudgel. Since it is a stick, the props should be divided into two ends: large and small.
Teacher Six picked up the iron gun and started practicing.
Although in order to reduce weight, a hollow steel pipe is used, and for safety, the gun head is also made of fiber, the weight still reaches more than ten kilograms.
With this amount, people just picked it up and danced like crazy.
Zhang Yuan kicked a handful of melon seeds in his down jacket pocket and walked forward, brushed the snow off a stone, sat down and admired it.
Although Mr. Liu was wearing casual clothes and wielding a gun, Zhang Yuan looked like Sun Wukong wielding a stick.
Whoosh!
Teacher Six was running back and forth on the snow, enjoying himself.
But suddenly, his foot slipped!
“Be careful!” Zhang Yuan, who was watching, stood up quickly.
But in the next second, Liu Ye's reaction was extremely fast. Before he could fall down, he slammed the steel gun in his hand towards the ground.
Then the force of the iron gun balanced the core, and then he straightened his waist, and was stunned to force his body to stand upright in a tactical backward posture.
Bah bang bang bang... Zhang Yuan clapped quickly: "Okay!"
Teacher Six straightened his chest and smiled when he saw Zhang Yuanting cheering.
"See, this is called basic skills." Teacher Six said in a long tone.
“You have to be quick in your movements!”
“Swift eyes.” Teacher Zhang’s eyes rolled back and forth, dreaming of Journey to the West.
"Quick hands." He flicked his wrist again.
Click...
"Kick your legs!" Teacher Six raised his legs and performed a standard Kun Opera step. He has low emotional intelligence and is a bit narcissistic. Zhang Yuan finally understands why he is always being hacked... Huh?
Thinking of this, Zhang Yuan raised his eyebrows, as if he heard something just now.
Click.
There was another soft sound, and Zhang Yuan jumped up from the big stone he was sitting on.
"The sound... sounded like something was cracking."
He listened carefully and felt that the sound seemed to come from the ground and was not far away from him.
Zhang Yuan looked up, glanced twice, and saw the iron gun in Teacher Six's hand!
"Teacher Zhang, please don't move." Zhang Yuan swallowed nervously and walked forward slowly.
"Tsk!" Liu Ye clicked his tongue dissatisfied.
This young man!
I have shown it all, what kind of skills do I have?
It's hard to get me in this situation, isn't it just a bit slippery...
As soon as he thought of this, he felt that his feet were empty, and everything in front of him flew upwards quickly.
Zhang Yuanxin said it was still too late!
Teacher Six just hit the iron gun on the ground in order to stabilize his body. He must have used too much force and cracked the ice on the ground.
The guide has said that there are a lot of ice holes in this place, but you all don’t take them seriously.
At this time, he didn't care about so much anymore. Zhang Yuanfei stepped forward, lying on the ground with his whole body. While sliding out, he reached out to grab the Monkey King.
But a person’s speed really can’t keep up with the effect of gravity, and the opponent falls too fast.
Fortunately, Teacher Six is not empty-handed!
Zhang Yuan had quick eyes and quick hands and grabbed the iron gun in the opponent's hand.
“Yeah!!!”
With one hand holding the iron gun, the fingers of the other hand grasped the ground with all their strength.
Although he has a lot of martial arts attributes and his physical fitness is far stronger than ordinary people, this extreme situation is still difficult to maintain.
He's not Captain America, who can pull a helicopter with his bare hands.
He has realized that if he doesn't let go, he may be taken down with him.
At this critical moment, he suddenly felt a lightness in his hand.
A soy sauce-colored bald head appeared in front of him, reaching out and holding the iron gun together.
Teacher Ji Chunhua is here!
With the strength of the two of them, even if they couldn't bring Teacher Six up, they could at least hold on for a while.
The rest of the crew heard the noise and rushed over quickly. In the end, six or seven people worked together to drag Mr. Liu up.
Teacher Six, who was sitting on the snow, had dull eyes and trembling lips, no longer as arrogant as before.
Teacher Ji patted Zhang Yuan on the shoulder, and together they looked into the ice cave.
It’s not deep. It’s about as tall as two people. If it really fell, it wouldn’t be dead.
But even if it’s broken, it won’t work. How can I still film?
Director Wang stumbled through the crowd and squeezed in.
"Teacher Zhang, are you okay?" He said and groped up and down.
The Internet was not developed in those days, and Mr. Liu did not have so much dirty information.
In Director Wang's eyes, this is a "national treasure" actor, and he must not be scolded by the audience if something goes wrong.
"Many, many, thanks to them." Teacher Six was still shivering as he spoke. I don't know whether it was from fear or from the cold.
[Received thanks from Zhang Jinlai, +1 for acting skills, +5 for opera basics, and +4 for monkey opera basics! 】
Director Wang didn’t say much, he was already used to it.
This crew is always in trouble, and Wang Xinming was numb early in the morning.
I was sure that the person was fine, and the rescuers were fine too. Director Wang even felt that he was lucky this time and it was worth having a drink to celebrate.
That's how it is with humans.
I have never suffered a loss since I was a child. After I came out of society, I wanted to jump off the building after being scolded by my employer.
I was beaten and scolded every day since I was a child. When I grew up, I became so thick-skinned that I could defecate in public with a calm expression.
It’s nothing more than habit.
"Teacher Zhang, you didn't drink at noon. Let's drink some together in the evening to warm up your body and help you sleep." Zhang Yuan invited.
"Okay, let's drink together." This time the Monkey King readily agreed without any hesitation.
"Teacher Ji, will you join us later?"
"Teacher Ji?"
Zhang Yuan shouted twice, but when he saw that the other party didn't answer, he felt panic and hurriedly Look back.
He thought Ji Chunhua had fallen through the ice hole again!
But when I turned around, I found that was not the case at all.
Teacher Ji squatted on the ground and was digging in the snow.
"Teacher Ji, can we have a drink together tonight?"
"Ah... ok, let's do it together." Only then did he answer, and at the same time he narrowed his eyes and looked at the fingers of Zhang Yuan's left hand.
He lowered his head and looked at the five deep black holes in the mud.
This was caused by Zhang Yuan grabbing the ground with his hands just now in order to stabilize his body.
"This finger power..."
Although Teacher Ji Chunhua has no eyebrows, she has raised eyebrows at this moment.
“Isn’t he also a prodigy who practices Eagle Claw Kung Fu?”
Teacher Ji thought thoughtfully, could it be that Yu Lao was right, he is really a martial arts prodigy?
In the evening, the crew planned to renovate all night and start shooting tomorrow morning.
According to the agreement, Zhang Yuan, Ji Chunhua, and Liu Xiaolingtong drank and chatted, and their relationship improved a lot.
In fact, after getting to know each other, Teacher Six has no airs.
But he discovered that this person had a big problem.
Love is more serious!
I love to be serious in everything I say and do.
At work, this is a good thing.
But talking and talking is a bit difficult.
Fortunately, he and Ji Chunhua have good tempers, so they let this senior go.
After eating and drinking, we returned to our tent to rest.
The four main actors have their own dedicated tents, while the remaining staff will crowd into several large tents to rest together.
As for the leading actor, although the treatment is difficult, it is still better than others.
Opening the zipper and entering the tent, he opened his sleeping bag, took off his coat, and prepared to sleep.
But at this moment, a dark figure appeared outside the tent. The moonlight highlighted the profile of the figure, and a beautiful face was reflected in the tent.
“Brother Yuan, are you asleep?”
Apart from Shu Chang, there is no such upright girl within a hundred miles.
Come to my tent in the middle of the night...
At this moment, Zhang Yuan suddenly thought of two sages in the film and television industry.
Hu Jun and Liu Tao.
They are also considered the "gods of war" of tents.
Zhang Yuan thought to himself as he touched the hard and rolled book in his pants.
“I want to be Zhang Yuan.”
“Or Zhang San.”
“That’s a question...” (End of this chapter)
