The mudslide scene was shot at night. For safety reasons, Director Jiang did not dare to ask for natural rain, but instead used artificial rainfall.
The scene was set, heavy rain poured down, mud and rocks collapsed the school building, Lin Lin held little Shanshan in her arms, Bai Meila rushed out of the school building with several children. Bai Meila counted the number of people and found something wrong.
"Xiao Zhao and the others haven't come out yet. I'm going to save them." Bai Mei turned around and was about to run back, but Lin Lin held her back.
"No, it's too dangerous."
Bai Mei shook off her hand and rushed back to the school building.
At this time, more mud and rocks rolled down.
"Bai Mei, come out quickly..." Lin Lin shouted towards the school building.
Bai Mei carried out a child and gave it to Lin Lin, then rushed back. After carrying out three children in succession, the school building was completely covered with mud and rocks.
“Bai Mei, Bai Mei…” Lin Lin knelt on the ground and cried towards the ruins.
The villagers came and the village chief asked Lin Lin: "Is there anyone else inside?"
Lin Lin hesitated, looking frightened, and cried, "Also, I only rescued these children. Teacher Bai and the two children could not be rescued."
The village chief said, "Dig quickly."
A villager said: "Village chief, this is too dangerous. If things go wrong, everyone will be buried."
The village chief looked determined: "Party members, follow me to rescue people, and the others can handle it on their own."
"Click... All cameras in position, let's shoot three scenes with two takes," Director Jiang shouted into the intercom.
Scene 3, shot 2 is the scene of everyone digging in the dirt.
Su Ran was waiting for the third mirror and said to Xiao Huan and Xin Ming: "Don't be afraid, you two, nothing will happen."
Xiao Huan said seriously: "With Teacher Su here, we are not afraid."
Xinming is only eight years old. There is no fear on his childish face, only excitement. He and Xiaohuan have one more scene than others!
The prop master came over and asked, "Teacher Su, are you ready?"
Su Ran nodded: "I'm ready, come on!"
Su Ran knelt and protected Xiao Huan and Xin Ming under her body. The staff put a fake foam stone on Su Ran's right leg, and then began to pour mud mixed with water on Su Ran, burying all three of them.
Ning Xi was watching nervously: "Gu Yunchen, you shouldn't have agreed to Su Ran. If you want real results, you can think of other ways."
Gu Yunchen said, "Don't be nervous. The staff knows their limits. The space they are in won't be completely buried. Look, there are partitions above."
Reporters were discussing on the sidelines.
"I thought this scene would use post-production special effects, or at least a body double."
"I heard from the staff that Su Ran herself requested to shoot this scene. No matter how good the special effects are, they can't be as good as the real shot."
"I've heard before that Su Ran is a hard-working woman. It seems to be true."
"You just found out. I went to the media visit for Su Ran's last drama 72 Hours. Su Ran performed all the explosion scenes herself. She is not squeamish at all. It's rare to find an actor as dedicated as her nowadays."
"That's right. I heard that in Lin Ying's martial arts film, more than 90% of the fighting scenes were performed by body doubles. The post-production staff were in tears. They wanted the fighting to look good while showing Lin Ying's face. It was extremely difficult."
"However, Lin Ying's performance just now was quite good. That moment of hesitation, that look at the school building, that moment of shock, let us see the devil in her heart."
As the stage manager clocked in: "Third scene, three takes, action."
Everyone fell silent.
The village chief and his men were digging out mud and rocks with all their might, but the heavy rain was still falling.
But at this moment, an accident happened. The wooden board used for partition above suddenly broke, and a large amount of mud and rocks collapsed, which covered the three people below tightly.
Director Jiang was so scared that he almost dropped the walkie-talkie in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Dig quickly, dig quickly... All extras, go up, quickly..."
Gu Yunchen wanted to rush forward but was stopped by Ning Xi.
Gu Yunchen turned around and looked at Ning Xi in surprise.
Ning Xi gritted her teeth and said, "I don't want Su Ran to come a second time. She can handle this little bit of mud and rocks."
Gu Yunchen was stunned for two seconds and said, "Paramedics, please get in position quickly."
As soon as the person is dug out, he will be given treatment immediately.
Following Director Jiang's order, the extras and villagers who were originally watching rushed forward and dug the soil with all their might.
It was only a minute or two, but everyone present held their breath and the whole place was tense and silent.
Finally the people were dug out. Bai Mei remained kneeling and held the two children firmly under her body.
"Camera moves in, close-up... OK, click..." Director Jiang called for a stop after completing the task.
Gu Yunchen and Ning Xi ran over at the same time and pulled Su Ran up.
"Su Ran, how are you?"
Su Ran then started to cough violently, spit out a mouthful of muddy water, and smiled: "I'm fine..."
The two of them breathed a sigh of relief. Oh my god, they were so scared.
If something unexpected really happened, Han Dong would definitely twist their heads off.
The drama is finally finished and we’re done.
The reporters were so excited that it was worth it to see such a big show during this visit.
Next they had to interview the actors, because Su Ran and Ning Xi had already left, so the reporters interviewed Director Jiang and then went to interview the young actors. Xiao Huan was still changing clothes, but Xin Ming had already changed, so the reporters interviewed Xin Ming first.
"Little boy, you were buried down there just now. Are you scared?"
Xinming: “Don’t be afraid.”
"So what were you thinking at the time?"
"I didn't think much about it. I was buried there last year too. Teacher Su protected me. I'm not afraid at all."
The reporters were keenly aware of the problem.
"You said you were buried down there last year? What happened?"
"It was a mudslide. Last year, there was a mudslide in our village and our school was buried. It was the PLA uncles who rescued us. Teacher Su almost died to protect us."
"The teacher you are talking about is Teacher Su Ran?"
"Xinming." Xiao Huan came out of the dressing room and heard Xinming's words. She quickly reminded Xinming. Didn't you promise Teacher Su to keep it a secret? How did you say it out
"Little boy, please answer, is Teacher Su Teacher Su Ran?" the reporters asked.
Xinming knew that he had let the cat out of the bag, so he pursed his lips and said nothing.
Everyone went to question Xiao Huan again. Xiao Huan didn't want to tell a lie, but couldn't tell the truth either, so she could only remain silent. Fortunately, Gu Yunchen came.
"I'm sorry, everyone. The young actors have worked hard today and got caught in the rain. I have to take them to drink some ginger tea."
"Mr. Gu, you said before that this movie was adapted from a real event. Who is the prototype of the story? Just now the child said that he experienced a mudslide last year, and it was Teacher Su who protected them."
Gu Yunchen smiled and said, "It is indeed adapted from a real event. When Wan Li was writing the script, he didn't know who the prototype was, but he knew there was such a person and such a thing. I only recently found the prototype of the event, but she is very low-key and won't let me talk about it. I must respect her wishes."
After Gu Yunchen finished speaking, he took the two children away, leaving a group of reporters there to discuss.
