At 8:00 a.m. on May 12, a remote railway fork was next to Kunming Railway Station.

The newly decorated locomotive and two carriages were parked on the abandoned railway. On the open space next to it was a red cloth altar with chickens, ducks, fish and a huge pig's head, surrounded by bananas, mangos, dragon fruit and pineapple. Three incense sticks were inserted in the incense burner in the middle. Two cameras were equipped with tripods covering the red cloth, and were set on the left and right sides of the front of the altar.

Then each person had three incense sticks. Director Sun Zhou stood at the first place at the altar, closed his eyes slightly and muttered something, bowed deeply three times, and inserted the incense into the incense burner. Then Gong Li, Tai Shuhui, Wang Dalun and other main creators burned incense one by one.

Wang Dalun has never had such a starting ceremony at the beginning. Later, when filming the platform, he held a simple opening ceremony at the strong suggestion of Yu Liwei. That time, the old Jabay was in a wrong direction. He encountered a strong wind and cooled down on the day of the startup, but he didn't shoot anything that day.

Later, this kind of startup ceremony gradually became popular, but it was the first time that it was as formal as today or as big as it was. It is said that when the computer was started in Hong Kong, not only would there be suckling pigs, but also to worship Guan Gong's statue.

However, the grilled suckling pig and Guan Gong are only popular in the corner of Lingnan. In most parts of my vast great motherland, I am still accustomed to using pig heads as offerings. Also, when it comes to worshiping gods, everyone will worship whoever they have in their hearts, Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, gods or master Guan, and the land master... They mainly respect the heavens and earth, and have a sense of awe for the things they take. They also pray that the shooting will go smoothly and that nothing will happen.

The crew actually relies on the right time, place, people and people to eat. There are too many uncontrollable factors. If there is a blessing from the gods, of course, you must worship devoutly. If not, you can also ask for comfort.

Although it was a worship of God, the scene was still very happy! After everyone worshipped one by one, someone asked the director to give a lecture. Although Sun Zhou talked endlessly when discussing the plot in private, he was stuttering in public. The meaning of a few words was that God would bless him, everyone would unite and work together to make the movie well.

Finally, Sun Zhou, Gong Li, Wang Dalun and Tai Chuhui, as the main creators of the crew, jointly uncovered the cover and put the red cloth on the camera. The opening ceremony ended amid everyone's warm applause and cheers.

Then the filming officially started.

There is a row of bungalows next to the open space, which originally contained some miscellaneous items in the station. The crew rented their trains for a lot of money, and the station cooperated with the crew's shooting. Of course, Gong Li's fame also played a role in this. Gong Li was definitely a blockbuster, and the station also felt that there was light on her face. So not only did she free up three rooms for the crew, but all the supplies on the train, including railway uniforms, were provided.

Three rooms, one store equipment and props, one clothing room, and one powder room. Today's first scene is about Zhou Yu taking two carefully selected large pastel flower porcelain bowls to Chongyang to see Chen Qing. When he got on the bus, he was accidentally hit by the veterinarian Zhang Qiang, and the bowl was broken. A pair of beautiful large flower porcelain bowls, and one was broken, which also indicates that the relationship between her and Chen Qing had no result in the end.

"Everyone gets on the train in order later, and they have all taken the train, right?... Yes, just follow how you get on the train normally, and get on the train today. Now let's rehearse, everyone line up and follow my command..."

The deputy director was holding a big microphone and directing twenty or thirty extras there. These were passengers on the train. It is said that the quality was quite high. One of the gray-haired old men was also a retired university professor. They lived alone in widows and happened to meet the crew recruiting people, so they took the initiative to sign up. There are several people like this, all of whom were idle at home and they were fine. They were not greedy for the reward of thirty yuan a day, and most of them were having fun. By the way, it was very new to make movies these days, let alone you can see the big star Gong Li up close.

Wang Dalun was wearing a navy blue Oxford shirt with his arms open, and a blue shirt with a slightly lighter color inside. The prop was a big travel bag with his back on his shoulders.

Gong Li was wearing a silk-colored suspender dress similar to light rust red. She was wearing a lotus-colored silk short-sleeved shirt on the outside, and a cotton-woven mesh bag containing a pair of large pastel flower-ceramic bowls wrapped in newspapers.

Sun Zhou looked at the outfits of the two, and he was very satisfied with Gong Li's outfit. This was originally the image of Zhou Yu designed by him, a short-sleeved shirt with a suspender dress. He also made several sets for it, including lake green, light blue, and moon white.

But Wang Dalun's outfit always made him feel something was wrong. He frowned, touched his chin habitually, and pondered: "Dalun, take two steps to see."

Wang Dalun carried a big travel bag with his shoulder slightly tilted, and his footsteps quickly walked back and forth, saying, "Director, do you think this is OK?"

It should be said that Wang Dalun is not a problem walking, very much like a passenger who is eager to catch a bus with his luggage on his back. Even Gong Li said on the side: "I think it's pretty good."

She has always had a good impression of Wang Dalun. Although Wang Dalun only made a guest appearance in one scene when filming beautiful mothers, she left a deep impression on her and Sun Zhou at that time. It was precisely because of that cameo that Sun Zhou chose him, and she also felt it was very suitable.

"Dalun, take two more steps."

Wang Dalun continued to leave, and he regarded himself as a train passenger, and it was more natural to walk. But Sun Zhou squinted his eyes, smashed his mouth twice, shook his head, and said, "It's still a little bit."

What's the difference? Wang Dalun was very confused. He looked down at his outfit and took two more steps, holding the strap of the travel bag on his right shoulder with one hand, and swinging the other hand blankly, hesitating: "Why, I'll carry something with this hand?"

"Bang!" Sun Zhou's eyes suddenly lit up, he slapped his thigh and stood up excitedly, "Yes, yes, Zhang Qiang is a veterinarian, and he should also take a veterinarian's clinic box or something when he goes out, yes! Alas, props, come on!"

"Director!" Props ran in from outside after hearing the sound.

"Well, you give Dalun a veterinary clinic." Sun Zhou stretched out his index fingers and gestured in the air.

Veterinary clinic?

The props were stunned for a moment. What was the veterinary clinic? Not to mention that he was not prepared, he had never even seen him.

"Director, what's the veterinary clinic like?"

"Well……"

Sunzhou has never seen it before. If it were a human doctor, it would be a box made of square artificial leather with a Red Cross in the middle. In the past, barefoot doctors used to take such boxes when they came to the clinic. Should there be a difference between veterinarians?

"Well, think of a solution, just like that, hurry up, the filming will start later." He shook his hand and pushed the problem to props again. Regardless of the details, the key is to look coordinated.

"Oh, I'll find a way now." Prot had no choice but to respond and go out to find a way.

"Director, how should Dalun play when he hit me? I was in the front and he pushed me from the back. The bowl hit something else and broke, or I was getting in the car, and he squeezed over from the side. The bowl hit the door and broke." Gong Li said while holding the net bag holding the bowl.

The scenes of getting in the car are mainly two details. One is that Zhang Qiang accidentally bumped into Zhou Yu, and the other is that the bowl is broken. There are only a few words in the script.

"Dalun, what do you think?"

Sunzhou needs to be more or less focused on his meaning.

This kind of thing is actually not a problem for him. Repeating the scene in his mind and selecting the most reasonable clips has long become his essential homework before filming.

He said: "The key is whether Zhang Qiang accidentally hit Zhou Yu and did he notice it? I think it shouldn't be, because Zhang Qiang first noticed that Zhou Yu was on a train. Zhou Yu walked by his seat. At that moment, he was completely amazed. Then he realized that the two of them often took the same train, and tried every means to approach Zhou Yu."

Without Sun Zhou's judgment, Gong Li realized that her previous understanding was somewhat deviated and did not consider it in the plot setting of the entire script, but she couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable and said a little stiffly: "Then how do you think you should act?"

Wang Dalun looked out the window, and the deputy director on the train was still rehearsing with the group of extras to get on the bus, and said with a smile: "Sister Gong Li, why not like this, let's line up first on the spot?"

"Okay!" Gong Li stood up readily. Although she was a little emotional, acting was the first priority.

The three of them were about to go out, and the props came in with a black cylindrical object.

"Director, do you think this is OK?"

"What's this?"

Everyone was happy when they saw it. What kind of veterinary clinics are like? They are clearly equipped with boxes specially equipped with camera-retracted tripods. Looking at the props with a helpless look, he probably had no choice but to use this to charge the numbers.

"Try it for me."

Wang Dalun took it from the prop and carried it on his shoulder and gestured. This cylindrical box is genuine leather and has a relatively exquisite workmanship. It is about 60 cm long. It has both a strap and a lifting gear. It is quite like carrying it.

He tried it and said, "Director, why don't you just forget it, who knows what the veterinary clinic looks like?"

"That's it." Sun Zhou hesitated for a moment, nodded. He was about to take pictures in the morning. He couldn't make the props come out, so he could only do this. Fortunately, they are not important props, they just play a coordinated role.

When the three of them walked out of the small bungalow that was temporarily used as a dressing room and walked to the train, it immediately caused a commotion among the extras who were rehearsing. The extras had not entered the venue during the opening ceremony before, because they were not professional extras, and many of them were originally aimed at Gong Lilai.

"Hey, Gong Li, it's really Gong Li!"

"Gong Li is so beautiful. She has been so many years now, and she is still so beautiful. She is almost forty, right?"

Hey, why do you have such a discordant voice?

"Who is that? The man next to Gong Li looks very familiar."

"Alai, like fog, like rain, and like wind, Alai, he died last night's finale."

"It's true that the hair is longer than in TV series, but the real person seems to be ugly than in TV..."

Oh, why are there any unfriendly noises?

The assistant director held the microphone and shouted in a hurry: "Don't mess around, rehearse normally, rehearse normally!"

The problem is that not only are the extras queuing by the car, but even those who have already gotten in the car have run off to watch the fun, or poke their heads out of the window and shouting Gong Li's name.

"Please obey the director's command. I will work together for a week. Everyone has the opportunity to communicate with each other. Now we will rehearse with you and take real photos later. Please cooperate more!"

After all, Gong Li was used to this kind of scene. She took the initiative to take the loudspeaker from the assistant director to help maintain order. The big star made a move, and the effect was immediately apparent. The assistant director just shouted for a long time, but no one missed him. As soon as Gong Li spoke, the extras immediately calmed down.

"Hey hey, rehearse first, rehearse first, and shoot together for a week, there are opportunities."

"Ah, Gong Li has no airs at all. Oh, stop looking at it, and say you, everyone can cooperate..."

Many people spontaneously help others to persuade them.

The scene returned to an orderly state. Wang Dalun carried the veterinary clinic box that we are currently calling on on his left shoulder, and his big travel bag on his right shoulder. He stood in front of the car door, and signaled Gong Li to come behind him.

"Sister Gong Li, stand, hold the handrail." He pointed to the handrail beside the car door and said to a middle-aged actor next to him: "Brother, you will block my front later. Will you get in the car be a little slower, will you do it?"

"Get done!" said the middle-aged extra excitedly.

He had a chance, so he deliberately stopped Wang Dalun, then got into the car with a very slow movement, and at the same time he turned around and said, "Do you think this is true?"

"Uh, brother, you move a little more naturally, don't turn around, just get in the car, just slow down a little."

"Hey hey hey, I understand." The middle-aged extra nodded repeatedly.

Gong Li, who followed behind, also smiled and said, "I understand too."

As she said that, she stood behind Wang Dalun, grabbed the handrail of the pull rod beside the car door with her left hand, held the net bag with a bowl in her right hand, and half turned around and said, "You were squeezed in front, back, and just squeezed to me. Then I turned like this, and the net bag I held in my hand hit the carriage."

"Yes, let's try it?"

"Yeah, give it a try!"

The script should be that the train whistles, and it is about to drive. Zhou Yu hurried over to prepare to get on the train.

"Okay, prepare, action!"

Sun Zhou, who had been watching them interacting, also shouted with fun.

Because the net pocket contained porcelain, Gong Li was very careful and the train was about to drive. She trotted over, grabbed the lever by the car door, and prepared to follow Wang Dalun to get on the car.

This time the middle-aged extra was very clever and stopped Wang Dalun at the right time.

"Hey hey, brother, you can't stand here..."

As he said that, his body was squeezed away by the middle-aged extra. The cylinder box on his left shoulder was facing the car door and the other end was touching Gong Li behind him as his body turned. Gong Li gave way to the side.

With a "puff!", the net bag in his right hand hit the carriage.

"Ka! Not bad, not bad, I think it can be taken in real photos."
Chapter completed!
