Today, three film crews gathered at the Shediao Village of Dafosi Temple. Shediao Village is a project that Zhang Dahuzi collaborated on with leaders of the Zhejiang Provincial Bureau of Culture. The Bureau of Culture was responsible for the construction, and the film crews are shooting here.
Shooting the storyboard for the male and female leads' dialogue and action scenes.
Shen Fang's portrayal of Duan Yu finally allowed him to stand up, and the Six Meridians Divine Sword was unleashed, leaving Murong Fu in a sorry state.
In the scene where Murong Fu draws his sword and commits suicide in front of Wang Yuyan and the others, Shen Fang casually points and knocks the sword away. The scene was achieved by using a bird bow to flick ash, with the prop being pulled by a string. This broadened Shen Fang's horizons; he realized that this was how filming was done, and that they were quite creative.
With Duan Yu's introduction, Xiao Feng, Xu Zhu, and the others faced a formidable enemy, disregarding their own lives. However, their fight scenes were frequently interrupted and had to be filmed more than ten times.
......
Shen Fang, who had just woken up early in the morning, arrived at the film set with a fried dough stick in his mouth. He saw several police officers questioning Zhang Da Hu Zi, Zhou Xiaowen, Wen Min, and other responsible persons about the situation.
Oh no, something's happened!!!
Ten minutes passed, and as the police left, Zhang Dahuzi saw Shen Fang with a bitter expression on his face.
"What happened? Tell me."
Zhang Dahuzi sighed: "President Shen, something's happened. Someone in the crew has been stabbed."
Sinking Square.......
"What's going on?"
“A few of our crew members went out for a late-night snack last night, and I guess they drank too much and got into an argument and fight with some locals. Four crew members were involved in the brawl, and the local police have started an investigation. The police station said that some of our crew members beat someone quite badly, and they asked me to come and find out what happened.”
Sinking Square...
"Well, you decide what to do. You know how tough the people are in Yunnan."
The bearded man gave a wry smile...
After arriving in Yunnan, the film crew was plagued with problems. Li Xiaofeng, who played "Prince Zongzan," and his partner, who came to visit the set, were assaulted in Dali Old Town; thefts were rampant, with furniture and props frequently disappearing from the set, and even some actors' personal belongings being stolen. The most serious theft completely wiped out 120,000 yuan in wages that the crew had prepared for everyone. He was furious, clearly believing there was a mole, but such investigations were extremely difficult.
"President Shen, just do what needs to be done. I won't protect them."
Shen Fang smiled and said, "You can decide this. Alright, I'm leaving now. But you really should think of a way. This place is a bit chaotic, and our crew is quite large. It's hard to manage such a big group."
Zhang Dahuzi nodded.
Shen Fang arrived at the dressing room.
"Xiao Fang, what's going on?" Liu Xiaoli also saw the police arrive.
Shen Fang glanced at Liu Tianxian, then looked at Liu Shishi.
"Sisi, Shishi, we can't go out for a late-night snack tonight. This place isn't safe. One of the crew members was stabbed. There are too many people around here, and it's on the border. It's not safe."
Upon hearing that someone had been stabbed, Liu Qianqian and Liu Shishi were terrified, as were Zhong Liti, Wang Luyao, and Peng Dan, who were standing nearby. Huang Xiaoming and Hu Jun were no exception.
After everyone finished their makeup, Zhang Da Hu Zi announced something to the staff present.
"Today I want to tell you something. There are a lot of tourists coming and going, and the security situation in Dali is quite bad. Considering the safety of the crew and the smooth progress of filming, starting today there will be a 'curfew'—after 10:00 pm every night, no one will be allowed to go out under the pretext of having a late-night snack."
Zhou Xiaowen also stepped forward: "Managing a large crew of 300 to 400 people is quite difficult. Given the constant troubles we've had in recent days, we have no choice but to use this simple and direct method to ensure everyone's safety. If everything goes smoothly, filming in Dali can wrap up by the end of this month."
The crew members were naturally a little unhappy. This was practically restricting personal freedom. However, given the recent major incident and their unfamiliarity with the area, missing a meal wouldn't kill them.
Today, another celebrity is here: Yang Liping, the famous peacock dancer. "Duan Yu persuades his mother to return home, and Duan Zhengchun, in order to please Dao Baifeng, holds a grand welcoming ceremony in front of the Dali Palace, with the people singing and dancing." This is a particularly large scene being filmed.
More than 700 people participated in the filming. The extras had to be able to sing and dance, and Yang Liping helped the production team find them. This scene wasn't a major scene in the series, but it was large-scale, requiring actors to not only have a dance background but also be able to perform folk dances, which caused the director considerable anxiety.
The scene was enormous, and Shen Fang and Liu Qianqian got a real treat for the eyes, sitting on the stage in their costumes, eating and drinking as they filmed the entire spectacle.
........
After the alleged assault incident involving the film crew in Dali, Zhang Jizhong ordered all crew members who went to the "Foreigners' Street" in Dali Old Town to return to the crew before 11 p.m.
At the Tang Dynasty Bar on "Foreigners' Street," guests included Chen Fang, Huang Xiaoming, Liu Tianxian, Liu Xiaoli, Liu Shishi, Christy Chung, Hu Jun, Liu Tao, and Chen Hao, along with their "leaders," Zhang Dahuzi and Zhou Xiaowen.
The bearded man raised a glass to Shen Fang: "Boss, thank you so much for your support. We're almost done filming, thank you so much."
Zhou Xiaowen was very grateful. With money, he solved many problems that he couldn't solve before. With an investment of 40 million yuan in hand, he did many things that he wanted to do but couldn't do before. For example, Yang Liping called more than 700 extras. In the past, he would not have dared to organize such a large-scale event.
The bearded man was speaking from the heart. He earned quite a bit from this movie. He had no choice but to accept the 40 million yuan that Chen Fang gave him.
