Chapter 794 "Shamon Kukai: Ghost Banquet of the Tang Dynasty"
On the city wall, several soldiers wearing different styles and colors of armor, holding different weapons and shields were following the instructions of the crew scheduler. Prepare.
As Zhang Yimou said "action", three troops of two men and one woman interspersed and marched neatly. Various arrows, spears, and weapons were hurriedly but orderly taken out and supported... …
The target of the attack is the air under the city wall, because this part of the shot must be added with special effects later.
"I...Is this how they beat their war drums?"
Liu Yifei tugged at Lin Nan's sleeve in disbelief, her eyes filled with confusion, speechlessness and astonishment.
"Well, this war drum beating is quite interesting, the rhythm is very good, there are many tricks, it is quite enchanting...Hey, it is a bit fancy, haha..."
Lin Nan I couldn't help but laugh.
It is indeed a bit strange to find a group of slender and beautiful female soldiers beating drums to cheer and convey orders with the sound of drums.
Furthermore, the posture and movement of beating the drum are soft, not at all in line with what a drummer should look like on the battlefield.
But when I think about it, this is a movie after all, so I can understand it. Looking at it again, not to mention, these female soldiers are really eye-catching when they beat drums to summon people!
A few meters away, Wang Jing and Chen Kaige were chatting wordlessly, pointing at the crew who were filming from time to time.
Lin Nan noticed that Director Chen was quite pleased with it, but Wang Jing was a little frowning.
“Matt’s makeup is too sloppy, isn’t it?”
Following the direction indicated by Liu Yifei, Lin Nan saw Matt Damon. He was quite vicissitudes of life, but also It fits the background of a mercenary.
"It looks like this scene is almost over, let's go over there?"
"Well, okay."
Sure enough, less than two minutes after Lin Nan finished speaking, Zhang Yimou shouted "Click".
We haven’t seen each other for a few months. Director Zhang Da was obviously not in high spirits. When he saw Lin Nan, Chen Kaige, Wang Jing and others walking over, he really had to steel himself to smile.
“Let’s go sit down below, it’s not a place to talk up here.”
"Okay, Director Zhang."
"Yes."
Lin Nan and Liu Yifei were not in a hurry, but walked towards the actors.
“Hi, Lin, Crystal.”
“Director Lin, Yifei.”
Matt came up with his bow and arrows, and Liu Dehua greeted him from behind.
"Brother Lin, Sister Yifei."
Jing Tian is dressed in blue armor and has a high ponytail. He feels like he is dreaming back to the Warring States Period.
"We are here to visit the class as promised. Can you guys go down and have a chat?"
"Let's go, we need to take a rest. I can hardly hold it anymore. I'm already NG today." More than a dozen times." Liu Dehua laughed.
When several people walked down the city wall and walked into the palace, Wang Jing and Chen Kaige were already there watching the previously shot scenes of "The Great Wall".
Zhang Yimou was drinking tea on the side and responded to Chen Kaige from time to time.
"...ALEXA65 camera is new this year and currently the world's highest-definition digital camera. It is provided by Universal. You can go up and try it later..."
"Okay, I'll take a look."
"Director Chen is preparing a new movie?" Lin Nan asked curiously and walked over.
I saw Chen Kaige nodded decisively, very confident:
"The script has been prepared for several years, and it can be polished in the next few months. The film and television base also officially opened at the beginning of the month, and the hardware is all ready After "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain" is released, I will fully devote myself to the preparation of the new movie."
Chen Kaige didn't say any more and chose to stop there, but Lin Nan could already guess the seven. Seven or eighty-eight.
In June 2010, the Xiangyang Tangcheng Film and Television Base project was officially launched because Chen Kaige wanted to film "Kūkai no Samana: The Ghost Banquet of the Tang Dynasty". It has taken 5 years of construction, and on the 1st of this month, it was finally completed!
This was not a sensational news in the industry, but Lin Nan happened to hear Yue Jun mention that there would be an additional film and television city for filming movies in the future.
Director Chen Da is also worthy of his reputation as "one blockbuster, one city"!
I think he came here today because he wanted to try out Zhang Yimou’s ALEXA65 camera in preparation for his "Kukai: The Ghost Banquet of the Tang Dynasty".
"I'll go check out this camera later."
"Okay, you can do whatever you want."
Zhang Yimou also nodded towards Lin Nan.
......
While chatting, Liu Yifei was shocked again and again by the costume props in "The Great Wall".
The various colorful armors are really eye-catching, but they look very "brittle" and lack the heaviness and security of armor at all.
Especially when she saw those "bungee jumping" shots without special effects, she was confused and speechless for a long time.
...
When Lin Nan climbed up the city wall and was holding the only camera in the country, Liu Yifei followed her specially just to whisper:
"Lin Nan, It was really wise of you not to accept this movie. You didn’t see that Director Zhang’s brows didn’t relax for more than half an hour.”
“I know, too. "
Lin Nan laughed and complained. He just discovered that Wang Jing was also in a state of confusion when watching those scenes.
"It's really great... It's a piece of equipment worth millions of dollars. I heard that the body costs nearly a million dollars, and the lens is even more expensive..."
Operating the camera, Lin Nan acts as a director Evaluating.
"When are we leaving? We agreed to go shopping."
Liu Yifei shook the camera in her hand and winked at Lin Nan.
I have been here for more than an hour, and it’s almost time to catch up on old times and visit the class.
"Then let's go."
Lin Nan stood up and smiled. Miss Liu was urging her personal photographer to get on duty.
After greeting Zhang Yimou, Matt Damon, Liu Dehua, and Jing Tian, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei took their assistants and prepared to go to other parts of the film and television base.
Unexpectedly, not long after walking out of the set, Wang Jing chased after him from behind.
"Director Lin, do you understand Director Zhang's "The Great Wall"?"
"Director Wang didn't understand?"
Lin Nan asked back with a smile, and Liu Yifei gave him a vague look.
“I, I seem to be a bit confused. I don’t know what Director Zhang is filming. I originally said that I would come here to learn from the experience, but it seems that I will come back empty-handed this time, haha...”< br>
Wang Jing's tone didn't sound like a lie. He did come to learn from it, but he did look confused.
“Wouldn’t it be clear when the premiere of “The Great Wall” is held and we watch the finished film? Director Wang, we are going to visit other scenic spots, so we won’t talk more.”
< br>
"Okay, then I won't disturb Director Lin and Producer Liu."
In one afternoon, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei visited more than half of the Huairou Film and Television Base and took a lot of photos.
It wasn't until he was driving home in the evening that he remembered again the movie for which Director Chen Da was about to complete the script.
"Director Chen is going to film his "Kukai: The Ghost Banquet of the Tang Dynasty". The script of this movie has been in preparation for more than 5 years, which is interesting."
"Huh? Tang From the North?”
