The photography assistant explained: "This is the crew's rule. Women cannot sit on camera boxes and equipment boxes, because women are unclean and will bring bad luck to the shooting!"

If it is because of work considerations, such as worrying about breaking equipment, Yang Ying can understand it completely. But now the other party actually says that women are unclean, which will bring bad luck to the shooting. She feels that she has been greatly insulted. What does unclean women mean that bad luck to the shooting? Why am I unclean?

Yang Ying was very angry and asked: "What is unclean women? What does unclean women mean to bring bad luck to the crew? It's all the age, and you dare to openly discriminate against women!"

Seeing Yang Ying getting angry, the photography assistant realized that she had said the wrong thing and quickly said, "I don't mean that, this is the tradition of the crew!"

Yang Ying retorted mercilessly: "Is it still a tradition to bind my feet? Should I also restore it?"

The photography assistant next to him came over and persuaded: "This is indeed the rule of the crew. Some people believe it, and some people don't believe it. He really didn't mean to target you." Then, he pulled Yang Ying's quarrelsome assistant away.

Yang Ying was still feeling a little uncomfortable, but she didn't say anything more. She sat on the camera box and continued to watch Zhang Ran instruct the actor for rehearsal. After a few minutes, the photography assistant who was arguing with Yang Ying came over and said she wanted to use the camera, so Yang Ying stood up.

Unexpectedly, the photography assistant took the box and took two steps, then put the box on the ground and sat on it. Yang Ying realized that the other party was not trying to change the camera at all, but thought she was sitting in the camera box and was unwilling to let her sit. Yang Ying was completely angry and shouted: "I have never seen someone like you. Is this fucking interesting?"

Yang Ying was really angry. She found a place to sit down from a distance, and cried with tears in tears. She felt very wronged. She was a civil servant of the county government and took the initiative to ask the crew to come to help. Every day from morning to late at night, she was so tired that she was like a fool, but the crew actually despised her. She was crying so hard that someone put a tissue in front of her. She looked up and saw that it was Zhang Jingchu, so she called "Sister Jingchu", took the tissue and wiped it.

When Zhang Jingchu saw Yang Ying crying sadly, she asked what was going on and if someone bullied her. Yang Ying told her what happened just now, saying that this was discrimination against women. Zhang Jingchu frowned. As an actor who has been struggling in the film and television industry for more than ten years, she knew the rules of the crew and that women could not sit in prop boxes. Some people said that this was a rule passed down from Hong Kong and Taiwan. When a girl came to sit in the camera box, the images taken would be unclean; some people said that it was a rule passed down from Liyuan before; some people said that it was because women were yin and men were yang, so women would lose focus when sitting in the camera box. In Zhang Jingchu's opinion, no matter which statement was, it was discrimination against women, and she was very disgusted with this rule.

Zhang Jingchu immediately pulled Yang Ying up and took her to find the photography assistant. She looked at the photography assistant and said coldly: "From the liberation to the 1990s, our mainland crews did not have this set, and they didn't even have the art of starting the filming, and the movies are still being filmed! You don't learn other people's good things, but you pick up the old customs and habits of the Xiangjiang crew and treat them as treasures! Why are women sitting in the equipment box? The camera will break down, it's like reading a book and reading it into the dog's belly!"

After scolding, Zhang Jingchu said earnestly: "The domestic film and television industry is developing very rapidly, and it is more and more cooperation with Hollywood and European and American filmmakers, including men and women. When you work with foreign teams, foreign female staff have sat in the camera box. If you jump out and say women cannot sit, beware of gender discrimination in the crew!"

In front of Zhang Jingchu, the photography assistant had no courage to argue, so he could only apologize to Yang Ying obediently. However, he was still very dissatisfied. He would rather trust this kind of thing than trust it. Many old people said that these rules are very useful!

During lunch, Zhang Jingchu told Zhang Ran about this. Zhang Ran didn't care much about these rules of the crew. His crew wouldn't even worship the gods when they started the filming. There was only a simple start-up ceremony, but he did not object to these rules of the crew.

Zhang Ran knew that there were many uncertain factors in filming. It was greatly affected by weather, venue and other factors. Any problem with any link may be delayed. The crew members are under great pressure, so many people will seek psychological comfort and come up with many rules.

In the next two days, the filming of the movie went very smoothly, but on the third day, the crew encountered trouble and the weather was in trouble. According to the Luoyang Meteorological Bureau, in the next week, the area of ​​Laoshupo Village will be cloudy and accompanied by light rain.

The crew of "Year, Month and Day" attaches great importance to the weather and contacted the Meteorological Bureau of Luoyang City, asking them to provide weather forecasts in the Laoshupo Village every day to facilitate the crew to adjust and judge. However, forecasting alone does not play a big role. The drama "Year, Month and Day" is sunny and requires a strong vision. It is different from other scenes. It must be filmed in order and can also be filmed in sequence. Faced with the continuous cloudy days, Zhang Ran and the crew members had no choice but to temporarily shut down.

At this time, the main creators of the crew missed Lin'an's studio very much. When shooting in the studio, they were completely unaffected by the weather, and corresponding light could be arranged on the set according to the needs of the plot.

"Everyone, it's quiet!" In the hotel conference room, Zhang Ran slapped his palm vigorously and signaled everyone to quiet.

The people talking in the conference room immediately calmed down.

"We received a message from the Municipal Meteorological Bureau that the next week will be cloudy and there may be light rain. What will happen in a week? The Meteorological Bureau is not sure about it now." Zhang Ran did not say nonsense and went straight to the topic. "We must not wait stupidly, we must come up with a specific solution. Let's brainstorm to see if there is any good solution!"

Zhao Fei is the film director of the crew, and he has the most say in the issue of lenses and light: "In fact, there is no particularly good way. If it doesn't work, give up the long lens and use slitting lenses instead!"

Zhang Ran shook his head and said, "No, these long shots cannot be sliced. After slicing, not only will the 3D effect be weakened, but some things I want to convey through the long shot will not come out. For example, when the villagers flee the famine, the villagers go left when they leave the village, and at the same time, Xianye left the village and walked to the right, which is a retrograde relationship. At the same time, there are many villagers who fled, and it is a collective; Xianye has only one person, plus a blind dog; this is a contrast between the whole and the part. Through this symmetry and contrast, it will give people a strong sense of desolation and tragic! I hope that through this long shot, I can feel a sense of loneliness that slowly penetrates into the whole body. If the slicing shot is used, the effect I want cannot be achieved!"

Zhao Fei knew that Zhang Ran was thinking about the use of these shots and could not be replaced easily. He just provided everyone with an idea. After Zhao Fei's speech, everyone else expressed their opinions and put forward a lot of suggestions. However, these suggestions were either Zhang Ran or rejected by others, and none of them could be feasible.

Zhang Jingchu also made his own suggestions: "Zhang Ran, why not do this! You took Teacher Li Xuejian back to Lin'an's studio to shoot, and I took some staff members here to stare. When the sky was sunny, I took those shots!"

Zhang Ran looked at Zhang Jingchu and shook his head with a smile and said, "Those lenses are more complicated and very important. It is better for me to do it myself!"

Zhang Jingchu pouted, thinking that you don’t trust me and think that I can’t shoot big scenes! In fact, she also knew that such big scenes had very high requirements for the director’s scheduling ability, and it was indeed difficult to control it herself, so she said, “Then I have no choice. Do you have any ideas?”

Zhang Ran let out a light breath, looked at Zhao Fei, then looked at the others, and slowly said: "There is really no other way. You can only use the stupidest method to light up several mountains with the light!"

Zhao Fei was slightly stunned, then laughed: "I didn't expect the legend to become a reality!"

When the rest of the crew heard this, they all laughed.

There are various legends circulating in domestic film crews, including the legend of directors using lights to brighten the mountains. In the last life, the protagonist of the legend was Zhang Yimou, and in this life, the protagonist of this legend became Zhang Ran, because Zhang Ran was much richer than Zhang Yimou, so he was willing to spend money on filming.

This is the legend about Zhang Ran. When filming "Shi Shi Warriors" in Canada, a set of daytime shots were delayed. It was not enough to shoot until the evening, and the light was not enough. Zhang Ran waved his hand, called the lighter, pointed to the hill in the distance and said carelessly: "Go, light up that mountain." The lighter immediately set up a light array, and the whole mountain was lit up by the lights.

It is technically possible to use lights to brighten the mountain, but few crews do this because to brighten a mountain, there are too many equipment that needs to be used, which is particularly expensive and is not cost-effective.

Seeing that everyone was laughing, Zhang Ran laughed: "You are all serious, we are having a meeting!" After he said this, everyone laughed even harder. When the laughter stopped, Zhang Ran looked at Zhao Fei and asked: "If you beat Shanliang, how long will it take to prepare?"

Zhao Fei has been in the film for almost thirty years and has a lot of lights. He has had experience in using lights on a large scale. Once, in order to catch up with the progress, the crew had to shoot daytime scenes at night. Zhao Fei took the lighting master to arrange several high-power dys-light lamps on the top of the mountain. The lights were fired from the top of the mountain, illuminating the entire village as bright as the daytime, ensuring the smooth shooting. However, it was the first time to use the light to illuminate a mountain, and the difficulty was beyond imagination. For him, this was a huge test.

After pondering for more than ten seconds, Zhao Fei looked up and said, "There are several main problems now. The first is the problem of lamps. We need 24 kilowatt and 18 kilowatt dysfunction lamps. This time we came here, we only brought one 24 kilowatt and two 18 kilowatt dysfunction lamps. We wanted to light up the mountain, but the equipment was not enough. The 18 kilowatt dysfunction lamp should be found in Zhengzhou, but only us and Zhongying have 24 kilowatt dysfunction lamps in China. It is relatively far away from Lin'an, which is very delayed; therefore we can only find Zhongying. However, it still takes time to pull the equipment from Peiping.

Power supply is also a troublesome problem. These lights must be laid on the opposite mountain, but the opposite mountain is not open to the road, and the generator cannot be driven at all. They can only find a generator and then carry the generator up the mountain. Since we have to turn on the entire mountain, we need more lamps. There are several 100-kilowatt generators, so we have to spend time looking for a generator. Also, we must examine the environment on the opposite mountain, consider where the generator is placed, where the light is placed, and then come up with an accurate lighting plan."

Zhao Fei paused, looked at Zhang Ran and said, "I roughly estimated that it will take at least three days!"

Zhang Ran knew how to set up light, and the level of light was very high, but even if he was asked to set up light, he would definitely not be able to do it for three days. He heard that Zhao Fei only took three days, and he laughed: "I will feel relieved with you! That matter will be settled, use the light to light up the mountain!"
