Yellow sand rolls, war horses neigh, arrows fly, swords and swords.

Jin Zhongming was still in the white-clothed scholarly outfit, but he added a black cloak. At this moment, he became the ambitious and arrogant governor of the West Factory again.

In front of us is the final decisive scene created by the crew with great effort, manpower and material resources.

The yellow sand was rolling, which was the effect that dozens of equipment workers worked hard to create. Not only small hair dryers, but also large hair dryers were carried by them with human power. Although the wind was so strong that three people supported each other and needed to hold the ropes tightly to stand firmly, the entire site was orderly. When one hair dryer broke down, someone immediately followed with another hair dryer on his back.

The neighing of the war horses was also the result of the hard work of dozens of horse workers. Some horses needed to charge against the camera, some horses needed to neigh and lie down, and some horses needed to be killed by arrows. For this reason, the horses used all kinds of means - control the horse immediately, drag the horse down, and even Kim Jong-ming saw with his own eyes that a horse had to tie it up and tie it to the back of the vehicle, and then the off-road vehicle suddenly exerted force to make the horse roll up with four hooves.

The arrows fly, not to mention that in this scene, the Western Factory Caravans guarding the inn are all holding bows with danger, while the militarized Western Factory series that attacked in are riding horses and crossbows. In order to complete this big scene, the crew not only invited hundreds of extras with equestrian and martial arts skills to carry bows and arrows, and rode their horses in the desert in front of them, but also set up dozens of cameras in one breath, which were high or bottom, far or near, and captured all wonderful shots.

As for sword light and sword shadows, there is actually no need to say much, because Tsui Hark is best at making various strange weapons, but this does not mean that the weapons in his movies are just strange shapes. On the contrary, almost every weapon he draws himself can fit the characters. Just like Zhao Huaian's ordinary sword, simple and ingenious, implying that this is a knight with a leader style; and Ling Yanqiu's erratic turn-by-hand sword shows that this woman is deeply affectionate but extremely chic; there is also the Qiankun circle with double-bladed inside and outside, as long as you look at it, you will think that this Tatar woman is wild and mysterious enough; as for Hagang Tongga's giant shield, it can directly show the man's heroic power as long as it lights to the ground; there is also Gu Shaotang's sword and boomerang, one goes straight and the other goes endlessly, symbolizing that the character acts boldly on the one hand but is affectionate on the other...

Even when talking about this topic, we must mention the sword held by Fanzi beside Yu Huatian. This sword seems to be just an ordinary sword with iron-cutting like mud, but after it is actually used, it can fly out two auxiliary swords at the same time, and control them with true energy, which can kill people invisibly. Therefore, this sword is actually a "three-son sword". In the words of Tsui Hark, it symbolizes the hidden secret of the character Yu Huatian!

However... glanced at the carefully crafted prop sword, and looked back at the spectacular scene in front of him, but Jin Zhongming couldn't help but feel lonely... What a pity!

"Group A No. 1." Tsui Hark, who was sitting in the main control room, suddenly picked up the intercom and gave an order. "Pay attention to Xiao Jin's expression and give a close-up! Yes, it's that lonely expression... very good... no problem, just take a photo!"

"What are he thinking?" He Jiping, the idle screenwriter sitting aside, couldn't help asking. "This kind of look was very exciting and appropriate when it came to the civil war in the West Factory. At that time, he could feel a little powerless about the stupidity and betrayal of his subordinates, but now it's all over. Shouldn't it be this reaction, right?"

"It doesn't matter." Tsui Hark shook his head with a cigar. "Ji Ping, you are not a director, and you don't understand what's in it. In this big scene, we used fifteen directors and dozens of cameras at the same time... In this case, in fact, the logic of time and space does not exist, and everything needs to be handed over to the post-production editing to sort out..."

"Oh, I understand." He Jiping nodded repeatedly. "So we can't just leave scenes that feel there is a show, and we have to stay even if there is no show, right?"

"Yes." After sucking a cigar, Tsui Hark pointed to the screen and discussed with the other party. "What's more, his eyes really tasted quite interesting. You said it was a good idea when the war started, but... my first reaction was, can we put this shot at the moment when we died in the big box? There should be something between these two people that can only be understood but not expressed in words, right?"

He Jiping was slightly stunned, and then began to think seriously.

The continuous war is only one day in the plot, and it is estimated that it is only about half an hour on the movie screen, and it is not certain. However, in actual shooting, even if the crew did not include the previous preparation activities, it has been filmed continuously for more than ten days so far.

During these ten days, dozens of cameras turned on from sunrise to sunset during almost every day, while in the 3D main control room, it is almost 24 hours a day. Correspondingly, during the day, horses, equipment, vehicles, etc., the actors work hard together, and at night, special effects, editing, screenwriters, artists and other soft technicians working all night. As for the core of the director team, they almost survive this period of time by waking up and waking up.

However, it was not in vain to work so hard. In late April, as Tianmo Film and Television City, located in the center of Inner Mongolia and the capital, began to warm up, and the drama was finally about to end.

"Tomorrow will be mainly re-shooting, all of which are small scenes, mainly to make the plot more coherent, mainly for the actors' literary dramas... It is also the last hard work..." In the hotel conference room, Tsui Hark knocked on the copy in front of him with a tired look on his face. "I would like to notify the actors who need re-shooting."

"Everyone is here." Zhang Zhiliang turned his finger and pointed to the huge conference room. "What are you notifying?"

"Ah." Tsui Hark smiled embarrassedly. "I'm so busy. Yuchun and Xiaomei and Sheng Jian tomorrow. You three need to repeat the scene where Tan Luzi died in battle. Zhou Xun... There is no task, so you can rest. But Boss Li, your task is relatively heavy. You must first join the Shaohuang to add some shots to the scene before the big boss died, and then add two shots in the desert with Xiao Jin... Where is Xiao Jin?"

Everyone looked around and didn't notice Jin Zhongming.

"Do you want to make a phone call?" Jet Li instinctively touched his phone, but found that he had not changed his costume. Where did he get his phone?

"No need." Zhang Zhiliang waved his hand. "I guess he didn't bring his cell phone. He went to other rooms to ask the others in the crew. He liked to hang out with the workers recently."

Immediately someone got up and went to run errands, and then he quickly brought back the news: "A restaurant lost his wallet, which contained several thousand dollars. Mr. Jin Zhongming took someone back to the desert to help him find his wallet..."

Everyone in the conference room looked at each other but didn't say anything. How could they say this kind of thing? It's impossible to say it.

"Oh." Sure enough, Tsui Hark just responded and didn't say much. "Then when he comes back, I will find him directly... Is there anything else?"

It was terrible to see the conference room quiet and busy for so long, and suddenly I had nothing to do.

However, seeing this situation, professional producer Sun Hebin suddenly smiled and said, "Master, I have an idea. Look, since you have come to this position, if you go to Baiyangdian to shoot a boat show, there will probably only be a few leading actors following you (Kim Chung-ming, Jet Li, and Fan Shaohuang)... The worker will have to go halfway. I mean, while the show ends in Tianmo, let's hold a finale! After all, for the entire crew, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow..."

"Okay!" Tsui Hark tried hard to squeeze out a smile from his fatigue. "It should be... Actually, I thought about it. The finale banquet was placed on the day after tomorrow. Everyone had a good rest and nourish their spirits! Everyone was so fierce before entering our crew of "Dragon Gate Flying Armor". If they couldn't leave the crew, they were like exhausted..."

Everyone burst into laughter and then naturally dispersed.

However, after the meeting, Zhang Zhiliang was half a step slower, and then took the initiative to touch behind Tsui Hark and Jet Li. The people around him naturally knew that these were the three biggest players in the crew who were about to talk, so they pretended not to see it, and then accelerated their steps and dispersed. Even Zhou Xun staggered back to his room with his hands behind his back.

"What's wrong with Lao Zhang?" Jet Li was in good spirits. He walked and gave up a seat to Zhang Zhiliang behind him.

"That's right... I think Xiao Jin is in a bad mood recently." Zhang Zhiliang responded with his head down.

"I can see it too." Tsui Hark replied with his eyelids drooping. "He helped the audience find a wallet, and helped Dapeng carry a fan... He has done too much of this recently, but then again... he didn't delay filming, and it's almost finished filming, right?"

"Not now." Zhang Zhiliang shook his head. "But there is still a big show to go to Baiyangdian... and it's mainly Boss Li, he, and the Young Emperor..."

Jet Li nodded and shook his head again: "With that being said, Xiao Jin's professional attitude is still nothing. I was impressed by him four or five years ago. The professional attitude of Koreans, the open thinking of Americans, and the pragmatism of Chinese people can be seen in him."

"I'm not blaming him." Zhang Zhiliang shook his head again. "I trust him too, but... Isn't the entire crew a little relaxed now?"

"What does it mean?" Tsui Hark immediately lost his tiredness and stopped in the hotel corridor. Jet Li also looked at the big director who actually played the role of the "fire-fighting captain" in the crew.

"Old Xu." Zhang Zhiliang replied seriously. "The movie has been filming for more than three months, and the main battlefield is Tianmo. In addition, everyone has worked so hard during this period, so... even if many people know that there is still a scene to shoot, they probably can't raise the spirit before. I personally think that when tomorrow passes, everyone will completely relax... This is human nature, otherwise Xiao Sun wouldn't have proposed to hold a final banquet here just now?"

"It makes sense." Jet Li nodded repeatedly. Everyone has lived on the set for decades. I didn't think too much before because I was so tired.

"Do you think... Xiao Jin can't hold back because of his lack of experience?" Tsui Hark asked with a frown.

"I... don't know." Zhang Zhiliang thought for a while and shook his head. "Xiao Jin doesn't look like the kind of person who can't hold back, but... I don't understand what he is thinking now, which makes me feel very confused. In addition, after you go to Baiyangdian, I will be going back to Xiangjiang to rest, so I want to ask him carefully before leaving."

Tsui Hark was silent about it.

But at this moment, Jet Li, who had a sharp eyes, suddenly pointed to the location of the hotel elevator entrance: "The opportunity has come, and Cao Cao will arrive, and Xiao Jin is back."

Tsui Hark and Zhang Zhiliang looked up together and found that Kim Jong-ming was walking out of the elevator.

"I'm sorry." Kim Jong-ming spoke first. "What did you say during the meeting? Will you have to take a reshoot tomorrow?"

"That's right." Jet Li responded with a chuckling. "Tomorrow we will do the scene where we are fighting immediately."

"No problem." Kim Jong-ming answered very carefully. "Is there anything else?"

"The day after tomorrow, we will hold a final banquet." Zhang Zhiliang added. "Then go to Baiyangdian."

"It should be." Kim Jong-ming still answered very carefully. "Most people have to leave before going to Baiyangdian. They said that the closing banquet was a bit early, but the breakup was the truth."

Zhang Zhiliang and Jet Li looked at each other, but there was nothing to say.

However, Tsui Hark suddenly spoke at this time and naturally took over the sentence: "By the way, have the worker's wallet been found?"

"Finished." Jin Zhongming grinned. "Master, you must have never thought where your wallet fell... We searched for a long time but couldn't find it, but in the end we found that the wallet was pressed under the camel's butt..."

Tsui Hark and others couldn't help laughing.

However, after laughing, Zhang Zhiliang finally couldn't help it: "Xiao Jin... I noticed these days that you always want to help everywhere... and this is not the same as when you were filming literary dramas in the inn before. Why... do you have any ideas?"

Kim Jong-ming finally became serious: "Actually... it's nothing. I was afraid of shaking the morale of the army, so I wanted to talk to the master after filming the movie, but since you have asked, it's okay to talk now."

"Go to my room." Tsui Hark clapped his hands and turned around first.

At 10 o'clock in the evening, the four people in the crew who could almost be called the most important sat face to face in the hotel room of Tsui Hark.

"I'm a little disappointed..." As soon as Kim Jong-ming spoke, Zhang Zhiliang was confused, but Jet Li and Tsui Hark both reacted.

Kim Jong-ming glanced at these three people and knew that Tsui Hark and Jet Li had already understood what they meant, so he turned to Zhang Zhiliang: "Actually, the reason why I took this movie was partly because of the master's enthusiasm. The other part... is because as an actor, especially an actor who grew up in the Han cultural circle, he always had his own feelings for martial arts. However, the filming of these days has made me feel... unexpected. Everyone worked hard and tried their best, but I, a starring actor with a lot of scenes, didn't have to do anything, just stood there on a horse..."

"I understand what you mean." Before Kim Jong-ming finished speaking, Jet Li shook his head first, but he did have the most say in this question. "Actually, I have the same feeling. It is obviously a dazzling martial arts scene, with horses in the desert, swords and swords, but when the actual shooting was taken, we just wore sensory costumes in front of the background curtain and swung a few swords casually. Fortunately, I have many other scenes, but the martial arts skills you played Yu Huatian are too high, so high that they can only be interpreted with special effects. Most of the time, let alone using moves, we don't even have to sway random movements, just move our eyes and sway pos

Just e and expression. But then again, Xiao Jin, under the same feeling, I actually don’t have the feeling of loss like you… Because I, Jet Li, is old, and my body and mental strength can no longer hold on to the martial arts movies I was young, and at this time I can continue to show my martial arts image in a martial arts movie… I am already very contented. In fact… After this movie, I really don’t want to touch the action movies of hard bridges and hard horses. When people get old, they lose not only their ability, but also their passion. Of course… I still say the same thing, I understand your thoughts very much… but there is really no need to feel lost.”

Jin Zhongming nodded slightly.

"Actually, there is nothing we can do about it." Zhang Zhiliang was relieved after understanding Kim Jong-ming's loss. Young people, no one is more motivated. "This is the development of the times. Xiao Jin, you have also been a director. You should understand that after Cameron brought 3D technology to the movie, the rules of action movies will be completely changed."

Kim Jong-ming spoke, then leaned down on the sofa.

"Take martial arts as an example." Zhang Zhiliang spread his hands. "People of your age think that Huang Feihong, who worked with Boss Li and Director Xu, was the martial arts classic in their minds. But in fact, Huang Feihong's real spokesperson was formerly Guan Dexing. He filmed Huang Feihong more than 100 times, but he never used a wire... So when he saw Jet Li flying around in the movie, he was panicked. Now, where is the change after the arrival of a new era? That is the relationship between people and air. In the past, your opponent was always human, but now your right thing is

The hand is always air! You need to dance swords at the air, punch the air, and put expressions at the air... Because everything can be made for you in the later stages, and even the confrontation between people, the confrontation between people, and even the confrontation between air and air seems to have more advantages. This is because young audiences now prefer to watch the visual effects that change in the air, just like young people who like to watch "Love Tiger Oil" twenty years ago... Xiao Jin, movies also have to succumb to the times, and this change is not necessarily a disadvantage now."

Zhang Zhiliang's statement is reasonable and well-founded, but Kim Jong-ming chose to shake his head for this statement: "Director Zhang, I can understand Jet Li's statement. Because age and passion are personal matters, I will be grateful to accept any statement between his predecessor and me, the younger generation... However, I will not bury my mind in my stomach some things about the movie concept. In fact, even if you don't say it, I have to tell it out. I think special effects are one thing for a movie, and progress is also one thing, because this is a must for market choice... But no matter what, some things are always a necessity for a good movie, such as... A good movie must have a complete storyline and character connotation, because the latter is the soul of a movie."

Zhang Zhiliang was silent for it.

His reaction was not that he felt that Kim Jong-ming's words were so correct that he could not refute, nor that he felt that the other party's words were so naive that there was no need to argue, but that this matter had nothing to do with him. After all, the reason why he cared about Kim Jong-ming's recent state was because of the fact that he was a cannibalistic fortune. Since he came to this crew to be a director, even if he was just a second director, even if he was leaving in two days, he had to pay attention to the actor's psychological state based on his professional ethics. This is his own code of conduct.

As for...the question about the soul of a movie or the only thing that needs to be answered is Tsui Hark.

As expected, Tsui Hark, who had not been moving, once again lit a cigar: "To be honest, Xiao Jin, I have been waiting for you to express my opinion for a long time, because we had already tried to talk about this topic when you first came to Tianmo. However, the crew was in a lot of trouble at that time... so they didn't have the energy to talk about it. Now, since the crew has reached the final stage and you have completed the responsibilities of an actor, it would be okay to talk about it."

Kim Jong-ming stared at Tsui Hark tightly.

"I know what you really find difficult to understand." Tsui Hark put down his cigar and pinched his chin and replied. "You are not hesitating about technology, but you are puzzled by the share of technology... Just like our movie, everyone has worked so hard for more than ten days... So how much can everyone's hard work be displayed in the movie? Even... will it not be as good as the tornado drawn by the computer? I can tell you clearly... I am afraid it can't compare. The tornado scenes you and Boss Li in the studio are more than the battle scenes that the entire crew has worked hard to create! It may even erode the integrity of the plot and make the logic of the plot lose... You should have felt this, right?"

"Oh." Kim Jong-ming nodded. "There is no exact explanation for the reason why Yu Huatian went to the ancient city... How could such an ambitious person look down on some gold? What he should pursue is the forging technology there and even the ability to control the astronomical phenomena... However, our previous shooting only left a hint of this."

"I can only say that I can do my best to do my best." Tsui Hark shook his head. "You said before that I stuffed too much things, which would make the audience unable to see clearly, and the audience had no obligation to explore the details inside. So, now I seem to be a little arrogant... But I will not let the 3D effect selectively withdraw from it no matter what... As for the reason, it is very simple. You have already said it out when you gave a speech at Beijing Film Academy. If you can't even make a movie, what qualifications are you to talk about? I have to get a certain box office first, and then I can continue to discuss technology and connotation in the next movie."

Jin Zhongming suddenly felt a little powerless.

"Xiao Jin... Actually, there is another reason. You are a Korean. I'm afraid you will find it difficult to understand it. But I still have to say it." Tsui Hark picked up the scissors and cut off the head of the cigar in his hand. "That's when I came to the mainland from Hong Kong, I felt that Chinese movies have always been in a very difficult position. If you want to survive here, you need to overcome a lot of things. In this case, I have very little choice... And although I am not a responsible person, I can still do these things seriously by making movies and leading the team seriously. I can only choose between technology and plot... because technology will not only bring box office, but also spread. The plot and character connotation, this kind of thing is just the timeliness of a movie... At most, I will be scolded by real fans, right?"

Kim Jong-ming suddenly remembered the sentence from the storyboard given to him by the other party.

"Anyway." Tsui Hark suddenly raised his pitch. "This movie is destined to achieve commercial success and technical reputation because of the application of 3D technology. However, as you are worried, the plot will be sacrificed due to the large number of 3D technology, which will attract polarized evaluations... But no matter what, Tsui Hark is capable of taking it because this is my movie! Isn't it?"

At this point, what else can Kim Jong-ming be able to do? He had to choose to say goodbye, and Jet Li and Zhang Zhiliang also stood up and left.

"Xiao Jin." When Kim Jong-ming walked to the door, Tsui Hark suddenly called out to the other party again. "Since your environment is better than mine... it may not be a bad thing to maintain such an idealized ideal!"

Jin Zhongming nodded, then bowed and said goodbye and left.
