Chapter 2066: Riverside Scene During Qingming Festival

The crew came to Feng Dayou's film and television city. The Song City here has been built. The crew has to finish shooting scenes in Tokyo Bianliang, Daming Mansion and other places here. The film and television city has already made preparations. Extra actors They put on ancient costumes one after another, and became passers-by, merchants, shop assistants, gangsters, and petty officials. They just did what they had to do, as if they had lived in this city for decades. The prosperity of the city.

Shen Long told the director, "For the opening shot, I want the feeling of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival". There is no other picture that can better reflect the natural scenery and bustling scenes of Bianliang, Tokyo. "

"If this set of shots is taken well, my photography for so many years will be worthless, and I will finally be able to leave myself a classic!" The photographer seemed very excited, not everyone is qualified to shoot this kind of classic, he Carefully controlling the camera, it pointed at the street below, where two servants were carrying the sedan chair.

They passed a cloth dyeing workshop. On the tall shelves of the workshop, the dyed blue cloth and the white gray cloth that had been taken out to dry were fluttering gently in the wind. A worker climbed up the ladder to the top of the shelf and was A piece of freshly dyed blue cloth was placed on the shelf, and a burst of smoke and fire with a strong atmosphere of life came out immediately.

The sedan chair continued to move forward, and encountered a car carrying alcohol in front of it, blocking the street. Tokyo Bianliang is now the most prosperous city on earth, and it is completely normal for traffic jams to occur.

Another group of cameras started to shoot close-up shots, with a peddler pushing a wheelbarrow as the main line of sight, looking at this bustling metropolis through his eyes, the picture became more lively, with the laughter of children, the cries of peddlers, One after another, it is not as rigid as other costume dramas, and everything becomes very vivid.

The camera sweeps across the palace lantern hanging under the porch of the store, passes through an official riding a horse and walks down the street, and focuses on the Jianghu guest who is performing martial arts on the street. Applause, now "Water Margin" also comes out of the rivers and lakes, so that people can immediately understand the origin of the heroes of the Water Margin and the market.

In the teahouse, an old man played the erhu, and a young lady sang a little tune. The sound of the little tune attracted passers-by. Two men who looked like scholars stopped at the door, nodded slightly to the tune, and hummed softly along with it. Get up, then walk into the teahouse, sit down and enjoy quietly.

On the side of the street, an old man was kneading doughnuts. A mother hugged her child and said something to the old man, as if telling him what her child liked. There was an older child on the opposite side, staring blankly. Looking at the dough in the old man's hand, he couldn't help licking his lips, and the child on the other side was about to cry.

The sound of the little song is still in my ears, and the camera has turned to the medical clinic next door. Some people are enjoying massage in the medical clinic, and some are doing cupping in the medical clinic. There is obvious patina on the rough ceramic cupping jar. Many times, the props are deliberately made old so as not to appear obtrusive.

The camera returned to the cloth dyeing workshop again,

One of the men was pulling the bellows vigorously to make the fire burn more vigorously in the stove, and another was vigorously stirring the cauldron on the stove. The three guys pulled it to the rack to dry. Next to the blue cloth was an indigo cloth with a plum pattern, and a red cloth. Well, this dyeing house has a very good craftsmanship, and all kinds of cloth colors are dyed quite well.

At the end of this group of shots, the protagonist of the first episode finally appeared, but he didn't show up at the beginning. A colorful Cuju flew up from the crowd, and it rose and fell rhythmically, and there were bursts of applause from the side. Anyone who knows a little bit about "Water Margin" knows that this is the Song Dynasty ball king Gao Qi is about to appear.

For the opening shot of just two minutes and six seconds, it took the crew three days to complete it. Shen Long's requirements for this set of classic shots are too high, even if there is a little mistake. If there is something wrong, it has to be re-shot. Even if the layout of the shop is a little bit unreasonable, it has to be re-shot. If the angle of the camera is slightly off, it has to be re-shot.

Even if the donkey barked wildly, it must be re-shot. These shops, characters and even donkeys are all exquisite, almost completely copying the original scene in "A Picture of Shanghe During Qingming Festival". "Picture" was built, which completely reproduced the Bianliang street in Zhang Zeduan's painting.

Because Feng Dayou is rich, the original drama of these shops and streets should be better and more exquisite. Of course, this kind of exquisiteness does not mean new and beautiful, but a complete restoration of the original appearance. During the construction process, they also invited Song history experts , ancient architecture experts to help with textual research and guidance, and all places that can be seen by people must be made exactly the same as the Bianliang market in the Song Dynasty.

After the construction was completed, I was not in a hurry to shoot immediately. Instead, I invited some people to live and operate in these shops, and used some techniques to make these buildings, tables and chairs, wheelbarrows, and sedan chairs old to varying degrees. I can feel that these places may have been used for several years, ten years or even decades.

There are also stains and patches on the clothes of passers-by. It is definitely not the spotless and brand-new style of ancient costume dramas in later generations. That's all, even if they are disciples of the beggar gang, their clothes are clean, so who would like to give them alms!

"It's finally finished!" When Shen Long announced that the last shot had passed, the photographer breathed a sigh of relief. The countless repetitions in the past few days not only made him physically exhausted, but also accumulated huge psychological pressure.

However, he didn't complain at all. Being able to shoot such a classic shot gave him a sense of accomplishment. Among other things, he would be more confident in bragging in the future.

"Let's go here first today! Let's continue filming tomorrow." Shen Long announced to call it a day and have lunch.

"Finally it's our turn to appear on stage!" The regular actors in the crew couldn't wait any longer. It's been three days since filming started, and they haven't even appeared on stage once.

The filming continued on this street the next day. The one who will appear today is naturally the protagonist of the first episode, Gao Qi, the ball king of the Song Dynasty. Hey, this unlucky child was born nine hundred years ago. If he was born today, That would bear such a bad name? I'm afraid he has already become an idol in the hearts of fans all over the country!

After getting ready, the big song ball king finally appeared.
