The last time we filmed "Let the Bullets Fly", there wasn't much related special effects content. It was only with Jin Xishan's efforts that Jin Manchang rushed to the set with several colleagues, which was considered a large part of the help.
Fortunately, Liu Qingshan took advantage of his nearly two months of contact on the set to form a deep friendship with Kim Man-chang, which enabled him to forcibly win over the subsequent cooperation in the form of a ride-along.
"Mr. Liu, I know that in mainland China, you have very strict confidentiality measures regarding the travel of important people, but my curiosity prompted me to decide to ask you!"
The gossipy expression on Jin Wanchang's face made Liu Qingshan couldn't help laughing: "Brother Wanchang, how old are you? Why are you so impatient that you rush over in front of so many people? "
Jin Wanchang's tone was very dignified: "You don't know, I am a military fan by nature. With my age and experience, I would not be so rash, but one of those people looks familiar to me. Old man, please tell me quietly, is his surname Fu?"
Liu Qingshan pretended to be nervous and searched around in private before whispering: "That's Mr. Fu, a very famous historical hero of our country, the kind who has been written into textbooks!"
In fact, after the other party asked this question, he understood this person's purpose.
??????????????? And as far as he knew, this Jin Wanchang was really a genuine military fan. He only knew the aspirations of those years through understanding the war between the North and the South in the early years. Many famous generals in the army.
Although Mr. Fu was still young and his position was not very high, it was precisely because of his outstanding performance in a certain battle in that war that he was later popularized in primary school textbooks by relevant departments.
Therefore, as a fan of military affairs in the south, it was not surprising that Jin Wanchang knew many famous generals in the north. Moreover, Fu Lao was promoted to the outside world as a typical hero-level figure.
"Fu Qianqiu! It's indeed Fu Qianqiu!"
Jin Wanchang was so excited that he was a little incoherent for a moment, and even the voice in his mouth unconsciously increased a lot.
Liu Qingshan hurriedly stopped him: "Brother Wan Chang, please lower your voice. It was because of my close relationship with Mr. Fu that I dared to expose his whereabouts. You are a foreigner and you shouldn't be doing this quietly." As long as you know, why are you still shouting?"
"What do you mean quietly? Forget it, it's not important. Let me tell you..."
Jin Wanchang's voice became softer and softer, and finally he almost pressed his mouth to Liu Qingshan's ear.
Liu Qingshan snickered secretly. In fact, even if this person was not pretending to be mysterious, he was also a bit crazy, because in his consciousness, a person like Mr. Fu should be closely protected by the country like a great man. It is impossible. Show your face easily.
But what he saw was an old-fashioned military uniform. Although it was covered by thick cotton clothes on the outside, if you had a good eye, you could still see a corner of it underneath.

And at Fu Lao's age, it's obvious that he has abdicated for many years, but he would not be reduced to appearing in such a remote area in such an unattractive appearance.
The rest of Jin Wanchang's words were filled with admiration like a surging river. If Liu Qingshan hadn't stopped him in time, there's no telling how long he would have continued talking.
Fortunately, he didn't mention anything about helping with introductions. Perhaps he also knew that even if he was not a foreigner, he would never have actual contact with the figures recorded in the annals of history.
Liu Qingshan interrupted him angrily: "What on earth do you want to express? There are hundreds of people below waiting for me to arrange work!"
Jin Wanchang didn't seem to wake up until now, and apologized hurriedly: "Then let's talk some time, I have a lot to say to you, that Mr. Fu is mine..." Liu Qingshan couldn't help but Without interrupting him again: "Brother Wan Chang, do you really know Mr. Fu's life and past very well?"
Jin Wanchang nodded his head like garlic: "Not only him, I know many famous figures who participated in the war between the two Koreas in that era, but most people in the Han Kingdom know more about our personnel, and I admire them even more at that time. Chinese!"
"Then I will ask the old man when I have a chance later, because I don't know what restrictions or regulations there are on receiving foreign guests for someone with a special status like him!"
"You, you, you mean, I, I might have the opportunity to meet and listen to the old man's teachings?"
"If you really admire me, I will ask you!"
Liu Qingshan really didn't know what the rules were, but the special effects materials in this man's hands were very important to him and Snowland Studio. If he could really do what he wanted and use Mr. Fu, it would be very important to obtain those materials. helpful.
He wasn't worried about whether he would annoy Mr. Fu, he was just introducing a friend. If the old man knew the value of being used, he wouldn't overreact.
What's more, the old man has always expressed support for his career. He can bring the materials that were originally available in Hollywood to China, just to save those for mainland companies??????????????? The foreign exchange quota may be a great achievement for the country.
So after finally coaxing away Jin Wanchang, who was like a crazy fan, and arranging the specific work, he immediately dialed the number of Mr. Fu's confidential secretary.
The secretary, Wang Changyou, was also an old acquaintance of him and had met him many times at Fu's house.
After hearing Liu Qingshan's explanation, Wang Changyou said happily: "You are so brave, you even dare to take Fu Lao's idea! But your starting point is still good. Based on my experience, there is still a possibility! But now You won’t get a reply, you have to avoid people when doing this kind of thing, besides, several elderly people entered the small conference room as soon as they returned to the guest house and blocked everyone!”
Liu Qingshan knew that several old men were eager to read the script of "Bright Sword". In fact, the application for this TV series had been submitted long ago, otherwise how would the other people get the news.
Mr. Li is from the military and will not be involved in specific local affairs, let alone such trivial matters.
"Then please ask Secretary Wang to bring me a message in time. It will be much more convenient for my father to be in another place."
When dealing with people of Wang Changyou's level, there is no need to speak clearly. People will naturally know the inside story.
"Don't worry, Mr. Liu, I will bring it up as soon as I get the chance, but my brother also has some small things that I need to trouble you with."
"Secretary Wang, please speak!"
"Call me Brother Wang."
"Okay, Brother Wang, if you have anything to ask, just ask, as long as I can do it!"
"You are the only one in the world who can help me with this! What's going on is that my brother-in-law had a car accident and became ill, so my wife's sister-in-law had to go to the hospital, home, and work. The elderly at home I don’t have time to take care of them. So my wife took the old couple to Kyoto, but they were in a bad mood because of my uncle’s affairs, and they also had some physical problems. I want to go through the back door through you and buy a few bottles. Zhang Yu Shaojiu! As you know, that kind of wine is hard to buy on the market."
"Drinking is a trivial matter. Do you want me to go back to Kyoto and show it to the elders?"
"I won't bother Mr. Liu with this matter. The old couple were entrusted with finding a place to recuperate when they first arrived. At present, they are just physically weak and need psychological treatment. There is nothing else!"
"Nacheng, call me anytime if you need it in the future! Let's do this. When you return to Kyoto, you can go directly to Sanrenlu and I will contact you there!"
"Don't worry, I won't lose even a penny of money. No, no, no, I'm really not cheating. My brother-in-law is rich and has opened several companies!"
"What's his current situation? Do you want me to come forward?"
"Other problems may be blamed on you, but he was an amputation, and there was only a little skin left on both legs!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, my medical skills are not bad, but they are not to the point of raising dead people's flesh and white bones! Then leave your father-in-law and mother-in-law to me, as long as I am in the country, I will be here at your call!"
Wang Changyou is actually a soldier, even a senior colonel. Looking at the country, the only person who is qualified to treat a senior colonel as his personal secretary is Fu Lao.
Moreover, I heard that this person would be sent to the place soon, so Liu Qingshan naturally had to have a more positive attitude towards such a person.
After solving this matter, he went directly to the filming location of the deep ditch and fortress.
These trenches were excavated with the help of the engineers in the army, and they were highly professional. They were carefully designed in strict accordance with the strategic terrain of the hillside.
Those Hanguo staff were busy in this area nervously. Seeing that the filming was about to start, it was necessary to review every route in advance.
Liu Qingshan was very concerned about these foreigners. After all, they were contacted through Jin Xishan's relationship, and he had other ideas in his heart.
For such an important learning opportunity, there is still a Chinese special effects team in the crew. Although most of them are helping foreigners at this time, Liu Qingshan actually told them to have the mentality of stealing lessons.
There is nothing to be ashamed of. In the face of more advanced science and technology, the dignity of the Chinese people can be put aside. Besides, it is just a slap in the face, and it is not a matter of face.
At the same time, large-scale rocker-type photography equipment is already being installed and debugged on the site.
It stands to reason that war-themed movies will rarely use such large-scale equipment. Due to industry practices and experience, it is difficult to include complex long shots in war movies.
But in this film, it is necessary to use it to highlight the use of long crane shots. In addition to the use of the opening and ending of the film, it is still necessary to create a desolate or majestic atmosphere according to the scene during the plot interpretation.
Although the original version has undergone a lot of cuts due to length, there are still several outstanding uses of long shots in the finished film, which are deeply memorable.
Liu Qingshan's version of "Assembly" also strives to make the war scenes realistic, and the intensity of the action design also requires the full cooperation of photography, special effects and other aspects.
In all his designs, the sacrifice of each warrior is impressive, perfectly conveying that authentic texture that all classic films demand.
This film is not intended to explore the metaphysical theme of the value and significance of sacrifice, but a "story of a hero who has been wronged" that has not been understood for a long time.
Several of these actors are from the Mesozoic generation who can stand alone in the TV drama industry, but none of them has raised any questions about their salary. Everyone came here for this film.
When the script was sent to them, even if it was only part of the plot, everyone was very moved after reading it, so they are all looking forward to participating in this play.
I hope to work with Director Liu to expand the subject matter of the film in a new way and make an excellent war movie.
If it succeeds, it will not only have unique significance for the Chinese film industry, but especially the cooperation between Chinese and cold filmmakers, it will have a positive impact on the entire Asian film industry.
Because Asian war films have been constrained by Western technology for a long time, this will be a great opportunity to truly break away from the shackles of Hollywood special effects technology.
