Rebirth Enchanted Xiangjiang
Chapter 122: The Real Big Battle
There are two most important scenes in the Gobi Desert, one is an airport seizure of an airplane, and the other is a section of a train grabbing a jade seal.
For these two scenes, Chen Jia, who had returned from the United States, led his team to make a lot of prop models. One of the two trucks contained these prop models. They were all separated and used. It can be assembled at the time, and there are special customized clothing.
But these alone are not enough to take the picture Qiao Feng wants.
However, it is not a problem if there are movie studios in the Mainland to help.
At this time, each province in the mainland has its own movie studio. Of course, there are large and small, but in short, there are definitely some.
Small studios may not produce a work in a few years, because no one has no money, but a big studio requires people to have something and something, but the money is not enough.
But Qiao Feng has money.
Of course, filming in Dunhuang will inevitably have to trouble the local Lanzhou Studio for help, but Lanzhou Studio is the kind of small studio that wants people and nobody wants money. It's not enough to rely on them.
Fortunately, the nearby Xi’an Studio, also known as Xiying People’s Family, is full of talented people, many soldiers, and well equipped.
Of course, this is not the time when Xiying was at its peak. The most powerful piece of Xiying was a few years later, "Old Well", which won the Golden Unicorn Award for Best Feature Film at the Second Tokyo International Film Festival in 1987. Zhang Guoshi He also won the actor of the Tokyo International Film Festival and became the first A-level international film festival actor in China.
Later, "Red Sorghum" filmed by Zhang Guoshi as the director, won the Golden Bear Award for Best Feature Film at the 38th West Berlin International Film Festival in 1988; in 1993, it was jointly invested by the famous director Cheng Kaige with Hong Kong Film and Television Company. The directed film ``Farewell My Concubine'' won the Palme d'Or for the best feature film at the 46th Cannes International Film Festival in France.
Xiying can be said to be undesirable with these international awards. Later, Xiying also produced Fragrant Soul Girl. "Tuya's Marriage" won the Berlin Film Festival Golden Bear Award. Qiuju's lawsuit and one cannot be missing. Won the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival. To live and shake to Grandma Bridge won the Cannes International Film Festival Jury Award and the Best Director Award, and Qinghong won the Cannes International Film Festival Jury Award.
Among these awards, Zhang Guoshi received the most awards. Of course, Xiying is also the film studio that has won the most international awards in China.
Xiying is very good, so as soon as he arrived at Dunhuang Qiaofeng, he asked Chief Yang to find Xiying. Of course, the conditions agreed by the leaders of the Hong Kong branch of Xinhua News Agency and Qiao Feng originally included this.
The above has already said hello to Xiying to assist in cooperation and more exchanges and learning. Xiying naturally does everything in accordance with it. Besides, Qiao Feng is generous and willing to spend half a million to hire Xiying’s equipment, personnel, and actors. I was a little unwilling and suffocated.
Don’t think it’s less than half a million. Even 500,000 Hong Kong dollars is a lot in the Mainland, let alone RMB. At this time, the exchange rate of RMB to US dollars is less than two, which means that one U.S. dollar is less than one dollar. Two renminbi, 500,000 renminbi, converted into Hong Kong dollars, is more than one million.
It’s enough to make one movie in Hong Kong, let alone the mainland, enough to make several movies.
As a result, Xiying resolved all the equipment and props that the crew did not have.
This kind of solution really made the people from Hong Kong look dumbfounded. It is nothing to provide some guns in the scenes before the filming. The scene of robbing the plane was taken by the military garrison directly in contact with the airfield.
Don’t you want yellow sand everywhere? The airport doesn’t have it, it’s okay, I used a military vehicle to pull the sand and spread all the necessary shooting sites overnight.
Don’t you need some foreigners to act as a group? Simple, how come Xi’an is also a big city, so it’s not difficult to find a few foreigners.
Hong Kong people have never seen such a big battle.
But Qiao Feng was very calm. He saw a lot of people who used the army to assist him when making movies and TV dramas in China. In the original time and space, it was said that there were as many as tens of thousands of people when shooting the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
This is just the army, not to mention there are tens of thousands of group performances.
The big scene is a trivial matter in the mainland.
As long as the local crew is big enough to call the army and needs it, it doesn't need to spend money, just take care of food.
It’s like making a TV series in Hong Kong, where a war of tens of thousands of people can be dealt with by a general led by a dozen soldiers.
In fact, in Qiao Feng's opinion, this movie uses real airplanes, and it is not a big deal for the tank just to appear on the scene. He prides himself that he has found the newly graduated Zhang Guoshi.
Zhang Guoshi was asked by Fu Qi when Qiao Feng was in Hong Kong. Zhang Guoshi only graduated last year and was assigned to the Xiguang Studio. Qiao Feng knew this, so it was easy for Fu Qi to find Zhang Guoshi. Simple things.
Asking Zhang Guoshi to take the shot, it’s not that Qiao Feng likes him so much. The key is that the pictures of this movie are already very colorful.
The sky is full of fire and the clouds are like red clouds. The overwhelming yellow sand is so strong and hot. Qiao Feng is worried that Hong Kong photographers can't produce the effect he wants.
But it’s absolutely okay for Zhang Guoshi to take the shot. This big cow has a background in photography. His bold composition, unique shots, and strong sense of color are unique figures in the entire Chinese film history.
Anyway, Qiao Feng himself has seen Zhang Guoshi’s films, whether it is a literary film or a later commercial film, what can leave memories is the beautiful lens language and the most beautiful colors.
And Zhang Guoshi became famous very quickly. Now, if you don’t ask for a photo of red sorghum in a few years, you really won’t be able to invite someone to take the photo as a photographer.
When filming the scene of stealing the plane, Lin Qingxia was wearing a military green woolen officer uniform with her hair rolled up and wearing a boat-shaped military cap. All the heroic and brave people looked straight.
Let Liu Xiaoqin, who was invited to play Jin Sanniang, be jealous to death.
Because she was one year younger than Lin Qingxia, she was invited to act as a middle-aged woman. Although she did not add wrinkles to her face to increase her aging, but after applying by professional makeup artists in Hong Kong, she was still in her twenties. She looks more than ten years older.
The skin is still tight, but anyone can tell that this is a milf.
Seeing Liu Xiaoqin in rustic clothes and a turban waiting on the sidelines full of jealousy, Qiao Feng was very happy in his heart, and muttered to himself that you will always be tender in your 50s or 60s.
