After deciding on the script, Bai Mu went to find Chen Kaige to prepare for filming.
" Let's shoot the scene of Li Baishan playing the zither first," Chen Kaige said." Bai Mu, you just have to act when you shoot. We will edit the music and the fingering of the zither later."”
"Director Chen, I know how to play the piano." Bai Mu said awkwardly.”
Chen Kaige was dumbfounded.
"I learned it in university." Bai Mu confirmed.
Did you learn this in university?
Chen Kaige was a little confused, but since Bai Mu knew how to play the piano, it was great.
After that, the crew entered a small mountain near Tang City. They were filming, so they didn't really have to go to famous mountains and rivers to shoot.
Of course, the most important thing was that the scene of playing the piano was not long. It only took about ten seconds, so it was not so demanding to shoot.
Halfway up the mountain, they found a relatively flat place to set up the camera. Bai Mu changed his clothes and officially started filming.
Falling trees rustled, and the autumn wind rustled.
Under a big tree that was wide enough for two people to hug, Bai Mu sat on the ground with a zither on his lap.
His slender fingers gently plucked the strings, and the sound of the zither flowed out like flowing water.
He was playing the guqin tune,"Clouds of the River Xiao Xiang". When the music started, the gentle and gentle feeling could make people enter the rippling blue waves and the misty mood.
Coupled with the chirping of birds and insects in the forest and the sound of gurgling water in the mountain stream, it gave people a sense of transcendence.
" Hengqin leaned against the tall pine trees, looking at the distant mountains with wine."" Holding the Green Qi Qin alone, walking at night among the green mountains." Perhaps Li Bai used to sing to the high mountains and flowing water in this green mountain valley with the melodious sound of the qin?
"Crack!" Ten seconds later, Chen Kaige shouted cut.
At this moment, he was looking at Bai Mu with eyes full of admiration. A young man in his twenties was not only outstanding in acting, but also versatile. It was really rare.
Not only him, but the people from the production team also had looks of envy, admiration, jealousy, and so on.
"He has the ethereal air of an immortal and the romantic air of a chivalrous man. It feels like Teacher Bai isn't acting as Li Bai, but that he is Li Bai!”someone said.
"I used to think that this was an exaggeration. Today, when I saw Mr. Bai playing the piano, I realized that boys can really be this handsome!”
"Teacher Bai's starting stance was really cool. It captured my heart in an instant!”
“……”
"Director Chen, do you still need to guarantee a few more?”Bai Mu asked without getting up.
"Let's play a few more. You can finish playing this song together.”Chen Kaige thought for a moment and said.
"Alright."
Bai Mu nodded and continued playing the zither after Chen Kaige called for the start.
After shooting four scenes in a row, this scene was finally completed.
In the next two days, Bai Mu followed the crew to finish shooting the other short scenes.
The last thing left was the long shot of Li Bai dying while fishing for the moon.
Because they were going to fish for the moon, the filming location was chosen to be in a large man-made lake. The crew even specially picked a moonlit night to start filming.
Although the filming environment was not very good, it was nothing to Bai Mu. After all, in the future, when he was filming movies and television shows, all kinds of situations would occur. The current difficulty was really nothing.
The only challenge was that Bai Mu had to play the role of an old Li Bai, because Li Bai died at the age of 60.
There was no doubt that makeup could make Bai Mu look very old, but after discussing with Chen Kaige, the two of them unanimously decided to make Bai Mu look like he was in his forties or fifties.
Because this was a movie, it was an artistic and romantic way of presentation.
If Li Bai was really so old that he needed someone to help him walk, what romance would there be?
Moreover, the makeup of a 40 - 50-year-old man also looked older. If the skin on his face was a little loose, who could say that this was definitely not the real Li Bai in history?
After the makeup was fixed, the long shot officially began.
Late at night, the moonlight was as cool as water.
A small boat was floating on the lake.
Bai Mu was wearing a snow-white robe. Even though his face looked old, his eyes looked even more indifferent and calm.
It was as if he had already seen all the things in the world. Glory, wealth, and emperors were like clouds in his eyes.
The night wind blew past.
Bai Mu sat at the bow of the ship, drinking wine alone. One cup after another, the wine entered his throat, and the breeze danced.
The ancient trees by the lake were dense, and the insects and birds in the forest were singing like wine.
"Clang!"
He drew his sword and let out a soft cry.
The Dragon Spring Sword reflected the beautiful moonlight.
Bai Mu moved his feet lightly on the boat, the long sword in his hand dancing faster and faster.
" When I was idle, I drank at Xinling. I took off my sword and placed my knees in front of me. I roasted the meat and ate it at Zhuhai. I held my cup and advised Hou Ying…"
Bai Mu seemed to be drunk, but he wasn't. He sang a poem and casually turned around, producing a wine pot in his hand.
He held the wine pot in his left hand and poured the clear wine into his mouth.
"Three cups of Tonran promise, the five mountains are light…"
The wine soaked his chest, but he didn't care. He just sang to his heart's content and danced his sword wantonly.
After a long time.
Perhaps he was tired or drunk.
Bai Mu was already unable to stand steadily, lying on the bow of the ship with a drunken face.
He looked at the sparkling lake and the bright moonlight in the lake.
" The moon in the sky, the moon in the lake..." Bai Mu murmured, his eyes somewhat dazed.
He turned over with difficulty and looked at the moon that seemed to be close at hand. He reached out but did not catch anything.
He stood up shakily and looked at the moon that was shattered by the ripples in the lake. His expression gradually became confused.
"Dream?"
"If it was just a dream…"
He took a step forward, his eyes filled with an indescribable longing as he leaped towards the quiet moon in the lake!
"Whoosh ~" The sound of water splashing into the water could be heard.
In the water, Bai Mu's body gradually sank.
His eyes were closed, and there seemed to be a tinge of nostalgia on his face. His expression was serene, as if he was dreaming of a beautiful dream…
"Ka-!"
Chen Kaige shouted, and the lifeguards that he had arranged earlier immediately brought Bai Mu out of the lake.
"Quickly bring Bai Mu to change into clean clothes and some ginger soup, lest you catch a cold.”Chen Kaige immediately ordered.
"Alright." someone replied.
Bai Mu wiped his wet hair with a towel and smiled,"It's fine. There's no hurry. My body is fine.”
"How was the long shot just now? If it doesn't work, add another one.”Although Bai Mu was quite confident in his acting skills, he still asked.
" It's already very good," Chen Kaige said with some emotion." You can do it once."”
Actually, Bai Mu could have found a substitute for the jump just now. There was no need for him to jump himself, but from Bai Mu's attitude towards acting, Chen Kaige could see that the future of this young man in front of him was limitless.
Good acting skills, humble character, and willing to endure hardships. It was simply impossible for such a person not to be popular.
"That's good." Bai Mu was relieved and followed the crew to change into a set of dry clothes.
