On the afternoon of the 14th, Zhang Jizhong and Liu Yifei finished the promotion of "Dragon" and returned to Yandang Mountain to prepare for filming.
It can be seen that Liu Yifei was not happy during this trip.
But fortunately, she didn't enter the set with any emotion, and she continued to laugh and joke with her colleagues on the set.
I just couldn't hide the fatigue on my face, so I went back to the room to rest early after dinner in the evening.
The next day, Liu Yifei came to the set early in the morning to practice martial arts. Zhang Yuanjun had just arrived and was warming up. Liu Yifei said "good morning" and started doing some activities on the side.
The two were talking while practicing, and Zhang Yuanjun only talked about off-screen gossip: "The scenery in Yandang Mountain is good, with high mountains and rivers, which is different from that in Jiuzhaigou."
"Um."
"The food is also good. The river seafood here is delicious, and the fish and shrimp are especially fresh."
"Oh." Liu Yifei's mood was low, but she still tried her best to respond to her partner, "The food in Changsha is also delicious. Have you been to Changsha?"
"No." Zhang Yuanjun stretched his legs, "But I like to watch their programs. I watch every episode of "The More Careful You Are, The Happier" it is. Chang Sha's words are fun, and I even learned a few sentences."
As he said this, he picked out a few words that he knew and told them to Liu Yifei: "Liu Yifei, this younger sister, is so generous and so awesome! She's a bit crazy."
Zhang Yuanjun's poor Changsha dialect really amused Liu Yifei, who was unhappy: "Don't come here, I can understand a few Changsha dialects. You praise me for my beauty in the first place, but you call me stupid later. You are so confused."
Liu Yifei learned even worse. Zhang Yuanjun laughed and said, "You'd better stop talking. If you talk about it, you'll get beaten easily."
After a few words of teasing, Liu Yifei was in a much better mood and asked Zhang Yuanjun: "Why do you praise people's beauty in Luling dialect?"
"I want to say that you can't understand a word of Luling dialect. Not to mention a city, even a county has three or five different accents. In some places, you can't understand it at all across a river."
"Say a few words and listen."
"Liu Yifei is so beautiful when she seduces a girl. I hope she can be so silly."
Liu Yifei:? ? ?
"What are you talking about! I just heard my name clearly. What's behind it is Bili? Are you scolding me?" Liu Yifei said.
"This sentence has the same meaning as the Changsha dialect I learned earlier. Translated into Mandarin, it means, first make sure you are not angry."
"I am not angry."
"Translated into Mandarin, it's 'Liu Yifei is a pretty girl, but she's a bit silly.'"
"You're stupid!" Liu Yifei feigned anger and raised her hand to give Zhang Yuanjun a slap.
"You said you weren't angry." Zhang Yuanjun smiled.
"Then what do you say when you praise a boy for being handsome?"
"Praise a boy," Zhang Yuanjun thought for a while, "Actually, you can also use "beautiful" to praise a boy, but we usually say, 'give it to a low-income young man who looks like a black tree, how beautiful he is.'"
"What?" Liu Yifei didn't understand a single word except for what she just said.
Zhang Yuanjun translated: "Talking about the descendants of his family, do you understand the descendants?"
"Um."
"He said that the back of his family grew as tall as a black tree. A black tree is a kind of tree. I don't know its scientific name. There are many such trees in our mountains. The boy was praised for growing tall and energetic, so we said he looked like a black tree. Just like trees." After Zhang Yuanjun finished speaking, he asked her again, "How do you praise people in Jiangcheng dialect?"
Liu Yifei was embarrassed: "I can understand, but I don't know how to speak. Haha."
Zhang Yuanjun's intriguing expression made Liu Yifei a little uncomfortable, and she defended: "I have left Jiangcheng since I was a child, so I wouldn't say it's normal." After saying that, she became anxious herself, and Tulu uttered a Jiangcheng curse: "You are a bitch. , labor and management will not.”
Zhang Yuanjun couldn't understand the meaning, but he could tell that Liu Yifei said something bad: "Hey, why are you swearing!"
Liu Yifei smiled and said: "You call me stupid, why don't you let me curse a few words."
By chance, her mother who came to see her heard what she said. She patted her and said in Jiangcheng dialect, "Okay, I won't let you learn this."
"You just talk about me and I don't talk about him." Liu Yifei said.
"You are my daughter, I don't care about you." Liu Xiaoli said.
Liu Yifei argued: "You like him so much, didn't you say you would recognize him as your godson?"
Is this how the two of you arrange yourself in private?
Zhang Yuanjun looked a little embarrassed and said, "What did you say?"
After such a fuss, Liu Yifei became happy again. The two practiced until eight o'clock, then had breakfast on the small table on the set and waited for the director to turn on the camera.
Most of the scenes in the ancient tomb are in Yandang Mountain. In the first few days, Zhang and Liu did not have many scenes, but they still got up early every day to practice.
The training one month before the start of filming simply failed to meet Zhang Jizhong's requirements.
But the weather was getting colder and colder, and the temperature in the cave was a few degrees lower than outside. Even though Zhang Yuanjun and Yang Guo were wearing thicker clothes, it was a bit unbearable, not to mention that Liu Yifei was only wearing a thin gauze skirt.
The heating facilities on the set were relatively rudimentary, and the crew could only keep hot water bottles at hand. The actors did not even dare to drink more hot water for fear that they would be unable to hold back during the filming and delay the progress.
Zhang Yuanjun asked his assistant Xiao Zhao to sell two large boxes of warm babies from outside and give them to the crew.
Liu Yifei took a dozen of them without any courtesy and put two on the soles of her feet, one on her back and waist, and one on her belly.
"If you want to buy it yourself, it doesn't matter if you take someone else's." Zhang Yuanjun joked.
"You are paid so much, why can't you part with a few of your warm babies?" Liu Yifei retorted.
"Sister, your per-episode pay is higher than mine."
"But my total salary is not as much as yours." Liu Yifei was still holding one in her hand, "Your family is well off, but you don't know why you get so much salary."
"You don't need money to get a wife, have children, and live at home. I'm saving up for myself as a wife." Zhang Yuanjun didn't even breathe a sigh of relief.
Teacher Wang Luoyong on the side smiled and said: "You are less than 20 years old, and you want to get married and have children?"
"Why don't you think about it? Housing prices in Beijing are so high now. I have to plan for the future." Housing prices in Beijing are already showing signs of rising.
"I want it from your dad. It's not like I can't afford it." Director Yu Min also joined in the chat. He knew the Zhang family's family background.
"That won't work." Zhang Yuanjun said with a smile, "My dad said that when I graduate, he won't give me a penny. He said that if I can't make money and marry a wife, I deserve to be a bachelor for the rest of my life."
Zhang Fuzhen said this.
No one took Zhang Yuanjun's words seriously.
"It makes no sense for such a young man to be a bachelor." Meng Guangmei interjected.
The conditions for the crew were relatively difficult, but no one complained, because the conditions of all major and small crews are pretty much the same now.
Everyone was focused on filming the show well and had no objection to the material conditions.
I have never heard of any actor who completed the filming while singing and singing with the air conditioner blowing.
The crew of "Hero" must be rich. Zhang Yimou led hundreds of people to eat sand in the Gobi Desert.
The conditions for the cast of "The Condor" were a little worse, but because there were large-scale martial arts scenes, the medical and health care team was well-equipped, which also gave the actors a sense of security.
The crew filmed in Yandang Mountain in an intense and orderly manner, ignoring what was going on outside the window. Within a few days, a piece of news came to the mountain: Maggie Cheung announced that she was officially retiring from acting.
Maggie Cheung is considered a legendary movie star of the Chinese generation. It would be a pity to announce her retirement at such a young age of 40.
However, she has done the best that an actress can do - winning the Best Actress at Cannes, and her retirement from acting at this time can be considered a perfect ending.
Manyu Zhang is no longer in the movie. The most emotional person among the cast and crew was actually Liu Yifei. She said that she likes Manyu Zhang very much, but it is a pity that she will not be able to see her on the screen in the future.
