Picked up a Huo Qubing [time travel]

There is not much time for Li Xiangyang to think deeply.

On the next day after getting used to the desert climate for half a day, Liu Zhengming asked a doctor traveling with the crew to inquire about the physical conditions of the crew members and give them a simple physical examination. Fortunately, the physical fitness of the accompanying members is good. , and no acclimatization occurred.

This time, Liu Zhengming specially selected actors, stand-ins and crew members who are younger and have better physical fitness, in order to prevent as much as possible when filming in such a harsh environment as the desert, some members will fall ill due to their poor physical fitness. situation occurs.

At 06:30 in the morning, the scheduled desert jeep stopped on time at the entrance of the two homestays rented by the crew.

In addition to the temporary staff recruited by the local people who made an appointment to meet up, a group of more than 50 people boarded a dozen jeeps, followed by more than [-] rented horses, led by a local horse dealer, forming a mighty A whole location shooting team from China went to the fringe area of ​​the Tengger Desert to shoot together.

The Tengger Desert is known as the most beautiful desert in China, and its scenery is magnificent and beautiful.

At this time, when the end of spring and the beginning of summer meet, I drove along the edge of the desert in the early morning, and the vast desert scenery was unobstructed.

Thousands of miles of yellow sand is gradually smudged by the rising sun, and the gilt-like color almost covers the entire field of vision.

Occasionally, it can pass through lake basins of different sizes.

Occasionally, the green grass and trees dotted on the desert, swaying with the wind passing through it, whispered the prelude to life born and passed away in the boundless yellow sand.

The crew picked a place where the scenery almost matched the required scene, and the crew unloaded the tents, costumes, props, etc. they brought from the car.

Field crews and camera assistants were busy building temporary tents, laying camera tracks, and carrying drinking water, while costumers and props designers were busy sorting and distributing the costumes, props and other items they brought.

The two makeup artists are relatively free at the moment, they just need to do a little simple facial makeup for the actors who have already done their hair and headgear in the hotel.

Since most of the crew were shooting in the desert for the first time, everyone didn't have much idea of ​​the temperature difference in the desert.

Liu Zhengming and Li Xiangyang are old people with rich experience in location shooting. They have also been to the Bataan Desert in Jilin to shoot locations.Therefore, they have already told their team members in advance what equipment and outfits they need to bring when they go to the desert area.

After finishing the preparations for shooting, many crew members already sweated a lot.

However, this little sweat is a piece of cake compared to the actual shooting.

……

With the announcement of "Scene 28, Shot 20A, Scene 1" with an exceptionally loud sound from the recorder, the shooting officially began.

Because it was the first day of filming in the desert, the energy and physical strength of the crew members were in excellent condition, so Liu Zhengming asked to finish shooting a few more physically and mentally demanding scenes first.

In this way, in the next few days, if someone is very tired, or can't stand it in the desert climate, taking a break will not stop them from going on, which will affect the shooting progress of the entire crew.

After a morning of high-intensity physical labor, everyone was already sweating profusely in the face of the more and more domineering sunlight in the desert.

When going out, the team members were still wearing thermal and windproof jackets, but when it was almost noon, everyone wanted to take off their clothes.

The hardest part is for the actors. Because they are shooting fighting scenes, according to the plot of the script and the requirements of the on-site martial arts instructor, they not only have to wear airtight props and armor and several layers of Han Dynasty warrior costumes, but also need to ride on the Immediately fighting with other characters, the hard work can be imagined.

Only a few shots were taken, and the actor's clothes were soaked from inside to outside.

The main roles that follow this time are all experienced actors and martial artists carefully selected by the crew, and occasionally there are one or two newcomers, and they don't play important roles.

Fortunately, the shooting task on the first morning went smoothly.

Except for actors, stand-ins and directors, cameramen, martial arts instructors and other staff who must be filmed outside, other people who have no temporary tasks can sit and rest in the tent.

Ke Litong, as the main make-up artist of the desert location and team, has been busy just now, and couldn't spare time to talk to Huo Qubing.

Seeing that the last shot had been taken, she was able to leave the shooting scene.

The wind in the desert is always mixed with scattered sand and dust. After working for more than two hours, Ke Litong felt that her hair, face and even her mouth were covered with a lot of fine sand.

Even though she had worn a hat, sunglasses, and covered her face with a gauze scarf, she still felt that the fine sand was pervasive.

Ke Litong took off her hat, untied her long curly hair and slowly loosened it, then patted it with her hands a little harder, took out the wet tissue paper she carried with her, and gently wiped her face and neck before running to the temporary Beside the tent that was set up, he carefully sat down next to Huo Qubing.

Sensitively aware that Huo Qubing has been preoccupied since he entered the Tengger Desert, Ke Litong asked him softly:

"Coach Huo, what's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing, just thinking about the past." Huo Qubing looked at the vast and vast sky in the distance of the desert, his eyes were a little sad and blurred, and he said in a low voice, as if answering Ke Litong's question, and also as if he was talking to himself.

Ke Litong intuitively discovered that Huo Qubing at this time was different from the past.He seemed to have unconsciously lowered his guard because he was caught in some kind of memory.

If it was him in normal times, he would probably just shake his head indifferently to himself, and would not say these words to himself at all.

Huo Qubing was willing to talk to her, which made Ke Litong very happy, and she tried to make her voice sound more gentle:

"Coach Huo, have you been here before?"

Hearing this question, Huo Qubing's eyes flashed a raging fire.

Attracted by the magnificent fire in his eyes, Ke Litong's heart skipped a beat, and when she tried to take a closer look, she found that it had fallen into a bottomless silence, like a quiet deep pool in an uninhabited valley, imperceptibly repelling people. thousands of miles away.

Ke Litong suddenly felt a burst of disappointment. She knew that this man would not continue to have an in-depth conversation with her.

Huo Qubing's eyes told himself that he had regained his usual vigilance and indifference, and quietly closed the door of his heart.

At this moment, Ke Litong suddenly became jealous of the lover of this indifferent man.If he was his lover, would he open up his heart and talk with him?

Even if they stayed in the same crew, it was difficult for Ke Litong to find a chance to chat with Huo Qubing.

Huo Qubing is not like other crew members when he has free time, he will gather in the small karaoke room of the hotel to sing and chat.Except for going out of the room to eat, he always stayed alone at other times, which made Ke Litong very anxious for a while.

She couldn't understand Huo Qubing's character at all, let alone understand his inner world.

The more she gets along with this enigmatic man, the more he confuses her.Even though they are all the same young man, why does he always give people the impression that he is so elusive like a silent traveler who has experienced countless winds and rains.

A slightly stronger wind blew, and the fine sand rolled in the wind hit her face, causing Ke Litong to feel a slight pain, but it also interrupted her deep meditation.

"Li Tong, what are you thinking? Your eyes are straightened."

Guo Lang, who had just finished filming, walked over to greet her with a smile, and then turned around and called out to his friend Huo Qubing: "Hey! Brother, let's go, pack up the tent, today's filming is over."

As he said that, Guo Lang went to the stage manager at the side to get a pair of pliers, planning to change the costumes later, and then helped Huo Qubing and other stage managers to pull out the sand nails that fixed the tent.

During the on-site shooting, Huo Qubing didn't just act as Li Xiangyang's assistant. When he saw other jobs, he would take the initiative to help if he could.So after he came to the desert, when Li Xiangyang didn't arrange extra things for him, he took the initiative to help the crew to do some sundries.

Instead of chatting with other actors and stand-ins, he doesn't like to talk too much with unfamiliar people, so he might as well find something to do, which can at least calm his messy past life memories and thoughts.

Hearing Guo Lang calling him, Huo Qubing put away his messy mood, stood up from the ground, and patted the fine sand on his clothes.

Seeing that Guo Lang had just finished filming, his head and face were covered with sweat, sticking to the sand grains in the wind, leaving traces on his wheat-colored skin, Huo Qubing persuaded him with ease:

"Don't help me, this is our job. You can change the costume first."

Guo Lang glanced at Ke Litong, then smiled and said, "Okay. I'll go right away."

Seeing that Ke Litong smiled at him, Guo Lang had a good time, lifted the curtain of the tent and went inside to change costumes.

At this time, Li Xiangyang also came over. He is the main actor and the leader of the martial arts performers, so after shooting the last scene, he stayed and asked Liu Zhengming to watch the original film just now, and then he could safely accept it. work.

"Xiao Huo, how are you doing? It's your first time in the desert, and you've been here all morning. Are you still used to it?" Li Xiangyang patted the sand on his clothes and trousers, and wiped his face vigorously with the facial tissue that Huo Qubing handed him. :

"This place is only liked by travelers who have never been here before. If you really want to stay here all year round, it will be very difficult."

Huo Qubing gave a low hum and didn't speak again.

Although Li Xiangyang looks rough on the outside, he is also very delicate and sensitive on the inside.He knew that after Huo Qubing came to the desert, he fell into some kind of memory, which greatly affected Huo Qubing's current emotions, so he would not take the initiative to talk to Huo Qubing too much.

The person who tied the bell needs to be untied. If Huo Qubing really has any troubles, no matter how others persuade him, he has to figure it out on his own initiative.

"Let's go, pack up and get ready to go back. After the hottest afternoon, we're here to shoot some sunset and night scene shots." After Li Xiangyang finished speaking, he opened the curtain of the tent and went in to change clothes.

……

After a whole morning of hard work, the actors have almost exhausted all their physical strength.

The specific heat capacity of the sand is small. At noon and afternoon, the sand absorbs enough heat from the sun, and the temperature is frighteningly high. The surface temperature can reach 70°C to 80°C.If you bury the eggs in the sand, they can be cooked directly.

It is inhumane to ask actors to fight in this kind of temperature wearing thick armor and several layers of costumes.

Therefore, the crew rushed to finish filming before 11:[-]. Everyone quickly packed up equipment and supplies, and hurried back to the hotel in the jeep that came to pick them up.

In the afternoon, there are a few sets of shots of small-scale fighting and two literary dramas.

The so-called literary play means that the general reads the battle report in the tent, then lifts up the tent, and walks out to speak to the soldiers who are about to set off to participate in the raid of the squad.

These are not exhausting for the actors, the key is the combination of the actors' expressions, perspectives and framing.

I originally thought that the filming of the main scenes in the morning was over, so everyone could relax.

No one expected that they would encounter difficulties on the first day.

When prop master Yao Jin yelled that something was wrong at the top of his voice in the hotel, everyone rushed out of their rooms one after another.

As the director, Liu Zhengming was the first to rush to Yao Jin's side: "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

Yao Jin looked at Liu Zhengming anxiously, his voice was full of anxiety and bitterness:

"Director Liu! The Xiaozhuan silk script military newspaper was eaten by a mouse! What should I do?"

"What?!" Hearing this, Liu Zhengming slapped his forehead hard, and felt very anxious: "What did it look like? Show it to me!"

In the afternoon, there was a scene in which the general Wei Qing played by Li Xiangyang took the military newspaper he had sent, and after reading it, he rushed out of the tent and ordered the soldiers to prepare to send troops.

The camera will shoot from the general's face, to the silk book, and then back to the general's face, following the general's series of expressions after reading the military newspaper.

Xiaozhuan silk script is one of the key props.

But now, Liu Zhengming unfolded the silk book and saw that there were five or six holes in the palm-sized silk book, varying in size.

Liu Zhengming frowned, and took a closer look...

Well, it is actually fragrant ink, no wonder it will be chewed by mice.

"No way, I can only make another copy temporarily." Liu Zhengming frowned: "Do you have a blank silk book?"

"Yes, yes." Yao Jin nodded immediately, with a calm expression on his face.Just as he was about to put his heart down, he glanced at the holes of different sizes and suddenly found a serious problem:

"But Director Liu, is there anyone here who can write Xiaozhuan?"

In the past, the crew invited a well-known Xiaozhuan scriptwriter from City B to write this silk script.

Adding up the original places of these holes, there can be more than a dozen characters.

Then the question comes:

Who can write Xiaozhuan?

Who can write Xiaozhuan?

Even if it can be transcribed, what should I do with the dozen or so characters that were gnawed off?

Director Liu Da was taken aback for a moment, and asked Yao Jin in a bewildered manner:

"Can you write?"

Yao Jin was stunned by the question, and raised his triangular eyes in confusion and asked Director Liu Da:

"?? You can't write?"

Don't talk about writing, I don't even recognize it...

After staring at each other in silence for a few seconds, director Liu Da and Yao Jin, who frowned deeply, turned their attention to the melon-eating team members who were watching them for help...

The author has something to say: Little angels, do you still remember what I introduced in the previous chapter?What is the main text of the Western Han Dynasty?

The truth comes out step by step, slowly following the plot~~[covering mouth and laughing]
