;;;;This gave Bao Guoan a very good impression of him.

;;;;After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Zhang Yimou chatted about the filming of "Lying on the Fire and Tasting the Guts".

;;;;"Director Zhang, you have no idea of ​​becoming a co-director?"

;;;;When everyone heard this, their eyes fell on Zhang Xiao.

;;;;How could Zhang Xiao not understand Zhang Yimou's thoughts? He said: "Director Zhang, every director's style is different. "Sleeping on salary and tasting courage" is not like some other drama. Just find a few fragments to compose it."

;;;;"This play is consistent from beginning to end. There can only be one director, and it must be one, otherwise problems are likely to occur."

;;;;"I know that you have some concerns about filming with me. Here I can assure you that in the crew of "Sleeping on Hard Work", I am just an actor and will never interfere with your work as a director."

;;;; Zhang Yimou smiled when he heard this and said: "Mr. Zhang, to be honest, I am really a little stressed when filming in front of a great director like you."

;;;;Yang Mi said: "Director Zhang, you don't need to think of him as a big shot. He is just a supporting actor who doesn't have as many roles as us. The filming can be completed in a week at most."

;;;;"When the time comes, if you think he is an eyesore, just drive him away. You're welcome."

;;;;Hearing what Yang Mi said, Zhang Xiao glanced at her and said, "Can't you save some face for me outside?"

;;;;"Hahahaha!" Everyone burst out laughing.

;;;;The laughter died down and Zhang Yimou said: "There is one more thing I have to discuss with you."

;;;;"Director Zhang, if you have any questions, just ask." Zhang Xiao said.

;;;;Zhang Yimou nodded and said: ""Sleeping on Fire and Tasting Guts" involves several relatively large wars. In order to achieve the best effect, I hope to ask the art troupe for their participation. It is best for soldiers to participate, because only

Only they can truly enforce the rules and prohibitions."

;;;;"How many people are needed?" Zhang Xiao asked.

;;;;After Zhang Yimou thought for a while, he said: "At least 8,000 people took one and a half months to complete the filming of this war scene."

;;;;Thirty years ago, the National Film Channel used tens of thousands of soldiers to film "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms."

;;;; Later, with the development of special effects technology, whether it was a movie or a TV series, when shooting war scenes, it was usually done with a hundred and eighty extras.

;;;;But there is still a big gap between special effects and real shooting.

;;;;The most important thing is the lack of realism. The special effects pictures can only use long shots, not close shots, which makes it difficult for the audience to resonate.

;;;;The reason why Zhang Yimou wanted so many people was obviously to restore the real battlefield in ancient times. If so, the crew would have to spend a lot of money.

;;;;The problem of eight thousand people going barefoot for a month and a half, calculated at three hundred yuan per person per day, would cost at least one hundred million yuan.

;;;;Coupled with props such as armor and weapons, Zhang Yimou's request may cost 1.5 billion. If special effects are used, with the technical level of Taishan Special Effects Company, it can be completed with at most 20 million.

;;;;This shows how big the gap between the two is.

;;;;Yang Mi asked: "Director Zhang, does it have to be shot like this?"

;;;;Zhang Yimou nodded and said: "I hope that the war in "Sleeping on Fire" can make movie fans feel as if it is happening in front of their own eyes, and this effect cannot be achieved with special effects technology."

;;;;"If you feel that the number of people is too large and the cost is too great, five thousand people is also acceptable."

;;;; Yang Mi fell silent and turned to look at Zhang Xiao.

;;;;Zhang Xiao said: "Mimi, didn't we set up a security company last year? What's the situation now?"

;;;; Yang Mi's eyes lit up when she heard this and said: "We cooperated with the three major military regions of Beijing, Southeast and Frontier, and recruited 15,000 veterans of the General Offensive."

;;;;"More than 7,000 of them are working as security guards at Sunny Cinemas in Mainland China, Hong Kong Island and overseas. More than 2,000 others are receiving training from security instructors and will work as drivers, assistants or bodyguards in the future."

;;;;"Husband, do you mean to let them come out to film?"

;;;;"That's right!" Zhang Xiao nodded and said: "We can recruit exes from Qingtian Cinema, plus the more than two thousand bodyguards who are undergoing training, there will be a total of six thousand people.

"

;;;;"If the number of people is not enough, you can also find group performers. With more than 6,000 soldiers leading us, I believe those group performers will not fail."

;;;;"When the time comes, not to mention 8,000 people, even 10,000 people can handle it."

;;;;After hearing this, Zhang Yimou slapped his thigh and said happily: "If that's the case, that would be great."

;;;;Yang Mi thought for a while and said: "Okay, I will be responsible for mobilizing this matter."

;;;;Zhang Xiao said: "Remember, don't let them suffer. But for all the staff who come to participate in the filming, in addition to the normal salary, each person must be given an extra one hundred yuan a day as a subsidy."
