On the banks of the Mekong River.
Pedestrians were bustling with the smell of moist and stuffy sweat, muddy loess stuck to the yellow skin, and the sweat of this land was flowing in the ruts. They looked nervous and restrained as a black Limu New sedan drove slowly out of the mud pit.
Many people were selling along the street with baskets, and green grass, jasmine, frankincense and even the smell of flying dust were mixed in. The air in the camera was humid and stuffy, and a little spark could trigger an explosion.
Sweet potatoes were roasted on the stove, passers-by were wearing thick linen clothes, and a few dark buffaloes slowly walked past the roadside. The lush and tall trees made the yellow land particularly distinct. In the camera, all this was both real and dreamy.
The children quarreled, their voices were loud, their voices were noisy, and the sound of cars was honking, as if they were driving away these inferior ones.
There is a hot air flowing on the road surface. There are no four seasons, only hot summer, so hot and monotonous.
The air stirs the surroundings to drowsy, blurring the boundary between reality and image.
The rice fields are intertwined with green trees, and it seems that you can smell the smell of grass from tropical plants through the picture.
Videographers Robert Fryce and Du Kefeng were fiddling with the camera together.
"Director Wu, the wooden bridge is under maintenance and should be completed tomorrow for shooting." Chen Yingxiong took the initiative to say to Wu Xiaozu, who was holding a notebook to draw.
Under the shade of the tree, Wu Xiaozu wore the hat that Vietnamese farmers often wore, and the vest was soaked with sweat. A slim girl wearing white Audai next to her twisted a hand towel from the basin and wiped his exposed skin. This girl was the sister among the sisters, named Ruan Yazhen, with a figure and appearance that looked very much like the famous Vietnamese actress Deng Yuzhen.
Then, he took out Vietnamese White Tiger Paste and gently applied it to the place where mosquitoes bite it on his arm. It was cold and cool, a bit similar to the effects of mainland cooling oil, Fengyou essence, and Thai green grass paste.
In the past few days, the crew has officially started to run. Wu Xiaozu, as the director, is also the leader. Tropical mosquitoes are really annoying... Especially near the Mekong River, it is too humid and can be woken up by mosquitoes every night.
Filming is indeed a very hard job, traveling through mountains and rivers, ice and fire, is something that is often encountered...
"What do you say about Berry?" Wu Xiaozu frowned.
"Mr. Claude wants to finish the scene here first, and then go to the embankment to shoot. He has communicated with the local government." Chen Yingxiong opened the record table neatly, "He wants the scene here to end within a week."
“A week…”
Wu Xiaozu rubbed his forehead, his face full of helplessness.
After four or five days of filming, various problems emerged one after another. The crew made quite difficult progress.
Many of the crew members are French staff, and communication is a big problem. In addition, the unfamiliarity of all parties in cooperation leads to common sense mistakes often occur during shooting, delaying shooting.
no way.
Filming itself is a teamwork task, and lack of tacit understanding will inevitably affect the process. Fortunately, Wu Xiaozu had experience in joint shooting of "Dragon Inn" before, and was able to deal with emergencies well. Moreover, Wu Xiaozu's own fame, strength and influence are enough to suppress the staff on site.
At this time, the convenience of making money at the European Film Festival was revealed. Apart from the slightly slow cooperation of the crew, there were no disharmonious sounds and made trouble.
I believe that as long as the shooting progress is done, the shooting progress will keep up...
“John—”
Claudbery, the bald old baguette, jumped off a box of goods with a smile, "I have contacted the dormitory, but the shooting time can only be set from 8-11 am and 13:00-16:00 pm for us to shoot. At the same time, the ferry tin boat has been successfully tested and can be photographed at any time.
I wonder when you want to shoot it? I will take pictures of the scene on the Mekong River tomorrow?"
The dormitory here refers to the heroine's "Lingyou Dormitory" in the novel. The iron boat is the place where the hero and heroine meet "for the first time" and is also the beginning of the novel "Lovers".
It will be very casual to read the novel "Lovers". Duras' overall writing style is like this, very scattered... If a person with a small reading volume reads, he may feel obscure.
Movies must not be shot like this.
Sometimes it is really difficult to adapt novels to movies, because it is difficult for you to use the camera to show those "hydrology".
Wu Xiaozu did not answer and frowned slightly.
As soon as this expression appeared, Ruan Yazhen was so scared that she shook her mind and quickly apologized in Vietnamese.
After glanced at this Vietnamese girl, Wu Xiaozu didn't care much, mainly because he couldn't understand... It was not like being in bed... Cough cough, that only body language can communicate.
“The scenes on the Mekong River are not yet available.”
Wu Xiaozu's eyes were cold, "The book says, 'I have never seen a river as beautiful, majestic, and ferocious as the Mekong River in my life, as if it was pouring out of the earth...' I checked it and it will be rainy in two days, and I should be able to shoot it at that time."
"Are you serious?"
"Of course." Wu Xiaozu's expression was serious, "Since I want to shoot, I certainly have to show the most perfect side."
"Okay, then I'll coordinate other venues first."
Claudebery shrugged, not too entangled with this kind of "rigor". He himself has been a director and understands this idea.
The novel "Lovers" is also a relatively famous romance novel in modern France, and is even one of the most popular and popular novels in Duras. When he invited Wu Xiaozu to serve as the director, he valued his talent and ability.
Therefore, in terms of creation, he is relatively willing to support Wu Xiaozu.
This is also the difference between Europe and Hollywood.
In Europe, in fact, it is actually the director-centered system, and the director has great power in the crew. On the contrary, the Hollywood producer is the one who truly masters the scepter of a movie...
Don’t mention a few special big directors to give examples...that level can be broken under any system.
Because they can bring benefits to the film company.
When the truck driver was filming "Titanic", he almost let the high-rise Fox in charge of the project jump off the building. But when the movie succeeded, he immediately became the golden sign of Hollywood.
This is the reality.
Wu Xiaozu's fame and strength are to a certain extent the prerequisite for ensuring that he can get the right to speak in the crew.
However, seeing Claudbery agree, Wu Xiaozu breathed a sigh of relief and looked back at the Vietnamese cannon stand holding the White Tiger Ointment... Wu Xiaozu frowned slightly when he looked carefully.
"Looking back, let someone teach them to learn Chinese and English," Wu Xiaozu said to Chen Yingxiong.
Then he raised his legs and walked towards Liang Jiahui not far away.
The other party has been trying to figure out the characters these two days.
