Chapter 129 "Soldier Assault" crew
A drama was also filmed remotely in Yunnan Province at the same time - "Soldier Assault".
After negotiating the copyright for this drama, Cheng Yu'an rarely interfered and handed it over to Huang Ke for filming.
To make such a film, it must have the endorsement of the military, so we remotely contacted the Bayi Film Factory, which has always maintained good cooperation.
I can’t say too much, but I can only say that the filming of “Soldier Assault” was supported by the military.
Cheng Yu'an had time to visit the crew of "Soldier Assault".
I brought a cart full of Mengzi loquats.
Mengzi loquats are on the market since spring, each one is as big as a child’s fist, and they are very enjoyable to eat.
"Ka! Very good, passed!" Huang Ke was filming. He received a notice the day before that Cheng Yu'an would be coming, "The crew is taking a break."
"How does it feel to film in Yunnan Province?" Cheng Yu'an asked Huang Ke.
"Before, when we were filming "The Notebook" in Yunnan Province, I didn't feel very good. In just a few years, I felt a little tired while filming "Soldier Assault"."
"You haven't damaged your body in the past few years," Cheng Yu'an teased Huang Ke.
"Fuck you." Huang Ke rolled his eyes. As one of the few remote directors who can direct independently, he has ample opportunities for unspoken rules.
"I ate and lived with my brothers in the army on the crew, and sometimes I participated in their training. Good guys, they really did it. They could do 1,200 push-ups, but I couldn't stand it after doing 30 or 40 push-ups." Huang Ke
Peel the loquat and eat it while talking.
The two talked about the crew, and Kang Honglei, the director of the second unit, brought someone over to say hello.
According to the original time and space arrangement, the director of "Soldier Assault" was originally Kang Honglei, but now he took over remotely, and the leadership was given to Huang Ke.
But Kang Honglei is an old director, and Huang Ke also respects him very much on the crew.
Kang Honglei has filmed "The Years of Burning Passion" and is very familiar with military themes. He was chosen to better assist Huang Ke.
"Hello, Teacher Kang." Kang Honglei is 20 years older than Cheng Yu'an.
"Thank you for your hard work, Director Cheng."
"Another drama is also being filmed in Kunming, so I stopped by to take a look." Cheng Yu'an said.
Kang Honglei stepped aside and introduced the leading actor of "Soldier Assault" to Cheng Yu'an.
"Teacher Kang," Cheng Yu'an said with a smile, "No introduction is needed, I know you all. Are you Wang Baoqiang?"
Cheng Yuan said to the little man Baoqiang.
"Hey, you still know me." The Mandarin spoken by Xu Sanduo in the play still has a strong dialect, so Huang Ke asked Wang Baoqiang to maintain his accent both in and out of the play.
"Why don't I know you? You acted well in "The Blind Shaft" and "A World Without Thieves". How about it? Is it hard to film in the army?"
"It's not hard. When I was a child, I experienced more hardships than this when I practiced Kung Fu in the Shaolin Temple."
"Soldier Assault" is his second male lead after "The Blind Shaft".
Although "The Blind Shaft" won him an award, his popularity is still not high. Coupled with the limitations of his image, it is still difficult to get roles.
"Yu Bin, long time no see." Cheng Yu'an shook hands with Yu Bin, who played the role of a talented person.
Yes, Huang Ke replaced Teacher Chen and asked Yu Bin from the 98th grade acting class of the Film Academy to take over.
Teacher Chen was recommended by Kang Honglei, but Huang Ke didn't like him. Huang Ke said: "I don't know what's wrong with him. I just want to beat him when he is standing there. If I film for him, I will die."
Then he passed Teacher Chen very willfully.
Needless to say, Zhang Yi is an old friend with Yuan Yuan, and Xing Jiadong, who plays Wu Liuyi, is also a classmate of the film school, so everyone knows him well.
After chatting for a long time, the crew returned to filming, with Cheng Yuan watching quietly from the side.
In order to ensure quality, screenwriter Lan Xiaolong was also with the crew. At this time, he came over to Cheng Yuan and said with a smile: "Where did you find this group of people?"
"What's wrong?" Cheng Yu'an thought he was dissatisfied with the actor.
"These bastards are too good at taste!" Lan Xiaolong cursed in a low voice.
Cheng Yuan smiled and said nothing.

"Hey, I can't do it anymore. I can't do it anymore." Cheng Yu'an lay on the ground so tired.
Baoqiang on the other side was still doing push-ups.
Next, there is a little soldier in the army.
Three people competing in push-ups.
"Don't you exercise every day? Where has your fitness gone?" Huang Ke squatted down.
"I work out for my health, and I don't do exercises. Have you ever seen a director who does exercises?"
"Seventy is my limit, I can't compare with them." Cheng Yu'an sat down on the ground and wiped his sweat with a towel.
"Is it enough for you to shoot this movie in Yunnan Province for two months?" Cheng Yu'an asked Huang Ke while drinking water.
"One and a half months is enough for the scenes in Yunnan Province. We will also go to Jinguan City and Beijing later. It is estimated that the filming will be completed by the end of June in three months." Huang Ke thought for a while and said.
"The end of June..." Cheng Yu'an thought, thought for a while, and then said: "Okay."
"Is something wrong?" Huang Ke knew Cheng Yu'an had something to say when he saw the way he hesitated.
"What about the Lunar New Year holiday for you this year?" Cheng Yu'an suggested to Huang Ke abruptly.
"Okay!" Unexpectedly, Huang Ke agreed without saying a word.
"Aren't you afraid? This year's Lunar New Year film "Golden Armor" will be on." Cheng Yu'an said with a smile.
"I'm afraid of a hammer. I'm barefoot and not afraid of people wearing shoes. At worst, I'll come back and film a TV series." Huang Ke was very ambitious.
"Okay, as long as you have confidence, I will go back and prepare the script for you."

"Keep strong!"

"It can't be done, it can't be done!" Baoqiang and Xiaoshou fell to the ground almost at the same time, gasping for air.
In the military, doing more than a hundred push-ups at once can be very tiring.
"You actors have really good physical fitness!" The monitor on the side praised Baoqiang.
"Baoqiang practiced in the Shaolin Temple when he was a child." Huang Ke explained to the squad leader.
"Really!" The squad leader's eyes lit up, "When I was a kid, I also wanted to go up the mountain to become a disciple. Come on, come on, stay strong, let's do two tricks."
"No, no, no!" Baoqiang lay on the ground and waved his hands, "I have been down the mountain for so many years. I can beat ordinary people, but I can't beat you 80% of the time."
Cheng Yu'an also stopped at this time: "Squad leader, it's better to say goodbye. The kung fu we use in filming is different from what you practice in the army. What we practice is airs. We can beat ordinary people, but we can't fight with experts."
"That's right." The monitor nodded understandingly.
In fact, many action actors have talked about this topic, but the audience doesn't seem to believe it.
Li Lianjie even said publicly that what they practiced was just showmanship and did not have actual combat capabilities.
Because "Soldier Assault" has the support of the army, the atmosphere of the entire crew has become very different.
The atmosphere was lively and everyone had a great time getting along with the soldiers.
During the break, both parties will also carry out a variety of entertainment activities.
They are all art students, and they are proficient in playing, playing and singing. It is no exaggeration to say that they are a bit like "playing and singing every night".
Of course, no drinking!
Chapter completed!
