Liu Qingshan smiled: "The specific time is just a rough estimate. It mainly depends on whether you can switch to filming! I wrote this script. I know very well the background of my character and the direction of the plot. Regarding what happened to him, Everything happens in Harbin!"
"Then I will urge the two directors when I go back, but the most likely possibility is that the director team will be divided into two lines, one part is in Heihe and the other part is in Harbin." Li Youbin said this.
"But in this case, several main actors are likely to run away. Isn't it too troublesome?"
"I'm a little tired, but the overall process is much faster! But Lao Na and I are the ones who run the most frequently. Actors of our generation have no problem with their professionalism. Please work harder. Well, you can also set an example for young people!".z.
The Lao Na he talks about is the Mongolian actress Sarina who plays the husband and wife with him in the play. She is also an experienced actor. Not only her acting skills are extremely high, but her singing is also close to a professional level, with extremely high artistic standards and appeal.
However, she is not well-known now. She really became famous after this drama. The mother she played is so perfect. She is persistent, resolute, cheerful, and virtuous. Especially her sweet smile is so touching. Will become the representative image of China's sex.
Uncle Benshan gave him a thumbs up: "This is the quality that a real artist should have. Heihe is nearly 600 kilometers away from Harbin, and the one-way journey takes at least half a day. There are no flights there, so it is really painful to go back and forth. Besides, It’s getting colder and colder!”
People in these two places don’t feel the word “cold” the most in the country, especially in Heihe. The lowest temperature in winter is generally below minus 30 degrees. The lowest recorded temperature has reached minus 62.2 degrees, which is also the lowest in Siberia, Russia. Temperature recording.
Even in the megacity of Harbin, the lowest outdoor temperature can reach around minus 40 degrees, and the average temperature is around minus 18 to 20 degrees.
Such bad weather is common for locals, but it is unbearable for those in Shanhaiguan.
Especially for Li Youbin and Sarina, although one is from Jilin Province and the other is from Inner Mongolia, they both went to Kyoto to develop their lives as adults and are no longer accustomed to this extremely cold weather.
In such a cold day, traveling hundreds of kilometers, even with warm air in the car, is by no means an easy task.
However, Liu Qingshan had a different opinion: "Split into two groups to speed up the filming process, but there are a lot of snowy scenes in this drama, and it's only August!"
What he meant was that the progress was guaranteed, but the shooting of the snow scenes became a problem.
The reason why he asked for real-life shooting before was to better reflect the reality of that era.
The advantage of shooting in groups in order to catch up with the schedule is far less solid than following the normal shooting schedule step by step, and it is just in time for the arrival of winter in these shooting locations.
As expected, he didn't need to explain too much. Li Youbin immediately realized the problem: "Isn't it advisable to shoot in two groups?"
"Not advisable!"
"Then you can only temporarily interrupt the ongoing shooting and try to use your time to allocate the shooting plan!"
"So I have always resisted taking part in the role before, but you are so insistent that I can't refuse."
"This is indeed a problem. Even if the current progress in Heihe is going well, since there is no snow scene collection, it is really unreasonable to only consider the issue of rushing for progress!"
"Which of the two directors had the idea? I mean the idea of grouping!"
"Director Gao! Director Sun's opinions are quite vague and he has never had a clear attitude."
"Director Sun is a descendant of people from Shandong province who came to Guandong. He should know more about the historical background of this drama and the impact of the local climate and environment than Director Gao!"
This is the artistry of speaking. Although the two directors were recommended by him, they were just two people who were the screenwriters and directors of the original play.
In fact, he didn't know the two people, so he couldn't even talk about understanding them.
Although Director Gao is more famous in the industry and has more representative works, as far as this drama is concerned, it still lacks the elders of Director Sun's family.
Understanding by precept and example.
But Liu Qingshan couldn't make irresponsible remarks about two people behind their backs, so he could only use such vague replies to point out the key points of the different opinions.
Of course Li Youbin can understand and dare to express his own views: "In this way, Director Gao really lacks a certain degree of local knowledge. I can also understand Director Sun's silence. After all, this drama is in the name of Director Gao The one who takes the lead!"
"It shouldn't be!" Uncle Benshan said, "As far as I know, both of them have lived and studied in Dalian, so they should be very familiar with the climate issues here."
Li Youbin immediately explained: "I think Dalian has a maritime climate. Although it is located in the Northeast, strictly speaking, it is still very different from the inland areas of the Northeast!"
Liu Qingshan nodded: "Director Gao has only stayed in Dalian for a few years. His directing skills are unparalleled and he has written many excellent scripts. However, his understanding of the text is still very different from the actual situation."
"Director Gao is a good person. He speaks straightforwardly and to the point, has a rough and generous personality, and is very manly. The most typical temperament of people from Shandong Province!" Uncle Benshan said.
Liu Qingshan shook his head, "I'm not referring to his lack of character, but his lack of experience in living in the Northeast. Why Director Sun didn't speak on this matter is actually a very obvious attitude. The idea of pursuing progress Yes, after all, this drama has invested so much and has to face pressure from capital, but working slowly and carefully is not a derogatory term. You must first adapt to the local reality!"
"Let me try to share your opinion with Director Gao?" Li Youbin showed obvious signs of hesitating to speak.
"Let me tell you, after all, I am the screenwriter of this show."
"Then please speak more tactfully. I know Director Gao. His work is very targeted and he doesn't have too many personal opinions." Uncle Benshan's tone was also a little cautious.
Liu Qingshan chuckled and said, "I will pay attention to propriety. Director Gao is also one of the directors and screenwriters I admire most. In my heart, I have always regarded him as an elder in the industry."
There are obvious differences between the elders and the predecessors. What Liu Qingshan said is true. After all, he plagiarized several works from others.
As he spoke, he stood up and took out his cell phone as he walked.
The caller on the other side was quickly connected: "Mr. Liu? It's really you, Lao Li, have you seen it? As soon as that guy heard that your play was about to be finished, he had to run over in person!"
Liu Qingshan placed his position very low: "That's because Teacher Li attaches great importance to me. I'm flattered."
"Then you called..."
"Don't worry, I will never break the promise without any reason."
"Not to mention, when I saw the call from you, my heart skipped a beat just now. I really thought something had changed!"
"How can I do that? I still dare not violate the most basic professional ethics! By the way, what I meant when I called was that I could join the crew another day. Don't worry, since it's been discussed, I won't do anything about it. Don’t dare to delay! My reason is that the current season is not right. Your filming on the Heihe River is the highlight of the whole drama. You can’t stop it temporarily just because I’m halfway through filming.”
"Haha, we are fellow villagers and close neighbors in the same city. If you have anything to say, just say it. We don't need to go around like this!"
"Actually, my point of view is that the filming schedule is not important. If you want to make an ideal period drama, you have to be more careful. Of course, I am not questioning anything of yours, I am just discussing the matter!"
"I understand. Do you have a different opinion about what Lao Li said about group shooting? It's okay. If you have anything to say, just tell the truth. I will definitely realize that it was my fault."
"It's not anyone's fault, but I think the group shooting is too fast and may not be able to catch up with the coldest winter in Northeast China."
"Well, I thought about this problem in the morning. According to your script description, many scenes require waist-deep snow as a background!"
"Yes, there aren't many heavy snow scenes like that now, but thirty or forty years ago we could still see them quite often.
of. Especially in the Laolin Mining Area deep in the mountains, the thickness of the snow can bury a person! "
"Yes, yes, this is what I have been thinking about, keep talking!"
"The first heavy snowfall over Heihe is basically coming in October, but it's still at least two months away. My suggestion is that you should film yours. When the scenes in Heihe are finished, the crew When I transfer to Harbin, I will report to the team on time!"
"Well, I understand what you mean, but when Ichiro's character appeared, he had little contact with Yuetian. This is the right time to shoot, and you don't need to choose another time. As for the grouping problem, forget it. At worst, the whole team will go to Harbin to shoot the scene about you first, and then we can go back to Heihe to continue filming when the weather cools down!"
"But the issue of pressure from investors..."
"Actually, no one put pressure on me, but the investment in this drama itself was huge. The previous idea of grouping was only my unilateral consideration. Otherwise, the budget would exceed too much, and it would be difficult to obtain such a large investment in the future!"
"Director Gao, I am also an investor. I will make a promise to you on the phone today. As long as it is your project, no matter how much I invest in it in the future, I will invest if others don't. I believe in your writing and directing abilities!"
"Haha, as you say, no matter what, I have to go and watch you perform in person! This matter is settled. When will you arrive in Harbin? I can finish the work a few days early and rush there early to prepare. .”
"Between the 20th and 24th of this month, because although my scene is almost finished, it must be edited as soon as possible so that Snowland Studio can produce the special effects part according to the rough cut. You know This part is very time-consuming!”
"I understand, I understand. That's it. I'll try to get there before the 20th. If there are any changes during the period, we'll contact you in time!"
"Basically there are no changes on my side, and the set dates will be strictly implemented. In addition, Mr. Han told me not long ago that this drama is striving to be broadcast on the national television one, and it is very likely to be regarded as the beginning of the new year. The drama is coming!"
