Chapter 93: Little Poetry Master
The first major event in the new year happened in the capital.
The Olympic Organizing Committee has launched the first round of selection for the chief director of the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympic Games.
Zhang Yimou's team, Chen Kaige's team, Li An's team and other outstanding international teams gathered in Beijing.
If he were in the capital, Zhang Yuanjun would have to ask for an admission pass from the college to attend.
For no other reason than to listen to director Chen Kaige recite poetry live.
Of course I can understand the excitement of the director of the opening song, and it is also reasonable to express his ambition in poetry.
But after you have finished reading the poem and expressing your feelings, you have to come up with your ideas and plans for the opening ceremony.
Which of the other directing teams is not fully prepared? Which one is not fully prepared?
Li An invited Lin Huiyin's niece to be responsible for the venue design, and the chief producer of the Atlanta Olympics opening ceremony to escort it.
Among Chen Weiya's joint team is Rick Birch, who has served as the producer of the opening and closing ceremonies of the XN, Barcelona, and Los Angeles Olympic Games.
The whole world is paying attention to this project presentation meeting, and the crew of "The Condor" is no exception.
Zhang Yuanjun asked Xiao Zhao to always pay attention to the news on the Internet. For this reason, he also specially opened GPRS Internet service for his mobile phone, which is valuable.
During each play break, Zhang Yuanjun would ask about the situation in the capital.
"A mobile phone is so small, what can you read?" Liu Yifei generously donated her laptop, "Use mine."
Looking at this laptop with a wireless network card plugged in, Zhang Yuanjun was really in a trance.
Xiao Zhao took Liu Yifei's computer, and Zhang Yuanjun took a look at it, then smiled and said: "It's not so ugly, use your own photo as the desktop."
The desktop of Liu Yifei's laptop is a still of her Little Dragon Girl.
Liu Yifei just snorted and didn't answer.
By the time Zhang Yuanjun learned the exact news, it was already after the show ended at noon and the crew was having dinner.
Liu Yifei's notebook has been returned, and assistant Xiao Zhao dictated the situation in the capital to Zhang Yuanjun and others on the spot:
"It was said in the news that other director teams were eager to bring famous consultants from their own teams to build a strong momentum. Only director Chen Kaige rushed to Kuangou alone, wearing sunglasses and looking majestic."
While talking, Xiao Zhao also imitated Chen Kaige's walking style.
"What happened next?" Yang Mi urged her to speak quickly.
"Later, Director Kai Ge faced the judges and leaders and recited a poem on the spot, saying something unexpectedly." Assistant Xiao Zhao didn't remember the poem either.
Zhang Yuanjun added: "Suddenly there was a message outside the sword to collect Jibei. When I first heard it, my clothes were filled with tears. This song?"
"Yes, yes, that's the one." Assistant Xiao Zhao confirmed, "After he finished reading the poem, the judges asked him to come up with a specific actionable plan, but he didn't and was eliminated directly."
Even though he knew the answer in advance, Zhang Yuanjun was still laughing so hard that he couldn't breathe anymore when he heard this story being told live, and he couldn't finish the rice in his bowl.
"What does this poem mean? Why did he read this poem?" Assistant Xiao Zhao asked him.
"Maybe it's to express the excitement and joy of getting what you want." Zhang Yuanjun was also unsure of the director's pulse, so he could only guess this way.
"The judges said that we want specific ideas and plans, not poets.
"I guess Director Kaige was a little embarrassed at the time, for someone in his fifties said that." Assistant Xiao Zhao commented.
Anyone else would have been so embarrassed that they would have been killed on the spot.
But Zhang Yuanjun didn't think so: "Director Kai Ge has been in the world for more than 20 years, and he has never seen any scene. This thing will not make him embarrassed."
Because Zhang Yuanjun knows that it will be "The Promise" released at the end of the year that will really embarrass him and even drive him off the altar.
On "The Promise", it was the director who opened the song who lost both face and dignity.
In the evening, it took four hours to finish filming the indoor scene, and the fire scene was shot after 10 o'clock. Before starting the shooting, Yu Min repeatedly confirmed with the pyrotechnics team: "We must control the fire intensity and wind direction to avoid accidents."
The pyrotechnics team and wire masters have also repeatedly assured that they will do their best to ensure the safety of the actors.
Liu Yifei puts on wires and waits for the opening.
This fire scene had nothing to do with Yang Guo, but Zhang Yuanjun did not go back to rest. Instead, he stayed at the scene and said to Liu Yifei: "How about a substitute?"
In fact, Liu Yifei is also afraid, but she doesn't want to use a stand-in without even trying: "I'll try two shots first, and if it doesn't work, I'll use a stand-in."
However, this action scene was filmed ten times and it was still not out of date, and Liu Yifei still didn’t use a stunt double.
She was hung in the air by Wia, and hung like this in the sea of fire, with the sound of burning wood in her ears, and the beams fell down in front of her eyes.
The fire burned Liu Yifei's face red. Fortunately, after several attempts, she was lucky and her clothes and wig were not burned.
After failing again, Liu Yifei was put down.
Even Yu Min suggested to her, "If it doesn't work, just use a substitute."
But Liu Yifei refused and called her assistant: "Fetch me a basin of water."
"What are you doing to fetch water?"
"I'll wash my hands, you go quickly."
Within a few minutes, her assistant brought a plastic basin with cold water in it: "I originally wanted to get a basin of warm water, but in the middle of the night, there was no warm water, only cold water."
Liu Yifei said: "It's okay, give it to me."
Liu Yifei took the plastic basin and poured it on herself.
Before the person next to me could say anything, the basin of water had already been poured out.
"Director, hurry up, let's take two more shots."
It was a night in January, and Liu Yifei was shivering when she put the cold water down.
Of course Zhang Yuanjun saw it all, but he was outside the set and couldn't do anything he wanted to say or do.
Yu Min didn't waste any time and quickly arranged the scene and prepared to start shooting.
Liu Yifei was hung up by Wia again. Zhang Yuanjun was afraid of fire and was frightened watching from the outside.
Zhang Yuanjun watched for a while and was ready to go back and rest.
"Send some cold spirit to Yifei later." Zhang Yuanjun told Xiao Zhao.
"Hmm."
The scene was filmed until after two o'clock at night. Liu Yifei's clothes were dried and she wanted to pour cold water on her again, but the director stopped her.
"Okay, it's over!" Yu Min announced, "Everyone go back and rest quickly. Yifei, go back and make some cold drink to cool down the night."
When he saw Liu Yifei pouring cold water on her body like this, he was amazed and felt sorry for this girl.
"Okay." Liu Yifei wrapped herself in a down jacket and took off her makeup.
"Come here at eight o'clock tomorrow and I'll make some time for you."
"Thank you, director." Liu Yifei accepted Yu Min's kindness.
Liu Yifei returned to the dressing room, and her assistant made her a cup of cold medicine.
"Where did it come from?" Liu Yifei remembered that neither she nor her mother had prepared any cold medicine.
"Sent from Xiao Zhao."
"Oh, I'm interested." You don't have to think twice to know that Zhang Yuanjun asked her to send it.
After taking off her makeup, Liu Yifei went back to her room to wash up and go to bed, needless to say.
Chapter completed!
