After finishing Xu Xu's work, the most important casting work for the Langya Bang crew has come to an end, and other work will begin next.
The first important thing is of course the filming location, and in the entire Dragon Kingdom, if you want to shoot a costume drama, Hengzhen is undoubtedly the first choice for everyone.
Because Hengzhen has the largest film and television base in the country, it has complete facilities, including staff, special costumes and props, and even extras.
This is also Shen Mu and Ye Lan's first choice. Besides, Hucheng and Hengzhen are only two to three hundred kilometers apart. It takes more than an hour to get there by high-speed rail.
"Shen Mu, are you really not worried about Miss Wan at all?"
Sitting in the first-class seat, Ye Lan glanced at Shen Mu with some resentment. After all, she knew Wanyi better, and she knew that Wanyi would not be like a white rabbit during the audition.
"Everything that might happen is written into the contract, so what do I have to worry about?"
Shen Mu still believes in the credibility of the contract, and since this contract was signed in front of Wanyi and his daughter, he feels there is nothing to worry about.
"Little Twilight, you are still too young!"
This was the first time Ye Lan had said such words, which made Shen Mu curl her lips and turn her eyes to the window.
"Let me tell you, little Twilight, don't you have a crush on Miss Wan and want to marry into a wealthy family?"
Seeing that Shen Mu was silent, Ye Lan had a sudden idea and almost reached Shen Mu's waist, thinking "This young lady seems to be more difficult to deal with".
"It's true that Miss Wan Da is beautiful, has a good figure, and most importantly, is rich. Except for her bad temper, she is good in everything else. I'm afraid there will be a long queue of men who want to chase her. It’s outside the sixth ring road of the city!”
Ye Lan counted Miss Wan's merits in detail, as if she was really thinking about Shen Mu, which made the latter's expression become increasingly weird.
"Little Twilight, if you can really marry Miss Wan, you will save at least thirty years of hard work. Don't forget to support me then!"
Ye Lan chattered endlessly, then looked at Shen Mu with a very firm look, and said sternly: "If you want to be rich and noble, don't forget each other!"
"As big as you are, I think you are a real dog!"
Shen Mu couldn't help but curse. Sometimes he really didn't know what was going on in Ye Lan's head.
Now you don’t flirt with me yourself, instead you use other women to tease you?
"vulgar!"
Ye Lan spat, but with a smile on her face, she said: "It seems that our little Twilight has very high standards, and he has not even taken a fancy to Miss Wan!"
"Is this a matter of whether you look at it or not?"
Shen Mu rolled his eyes. He was not a male dog in heat. He would pounce on a female dog when he saw one.
Now he only wants to pursue a career, and the filming of Langya Bang has not started yet, so how can he think about those things that are available and not available?
"Okay, I'll believe you for now!"
Ye Lan smiled slyly, and with that strange look in his eyes, Shen Mu suddenly understood something.
"Sister Lan, by saying so much, aren't you trying to test me?"
Shen Mu blurted out, and then he felt that the question was a bit redundant, and thought that if he had answered wrongly, the other party would not be so smiling.
"Hehe, our little Twilight is really smart!"
Ye Lan did not deny it, and then said bitterly: "Now you are my sister, sister. If anyone dares to rob me, I will fight him to the death!"
"This woman is crazy!"
Shen Mu shook his head in disbelief, "I haven't even written this horoscope yet. When did I become yours?"
The two chatted and laughed, and an hour passed quickly. Through the high-speed train window, Shen Mu seemed to feel a special breath coming to his face.
After getting off the bus at the station, the two took a taxi and went straight to the Hengzhen Film and Television Base.
As the largest film and television base in the country, although Hengzhen is only a town, its area is almost the same as that of a county.
However, this place is obviously different from other cities. There are hardly many modern high-rise buildings. The most recent buildings are also in the Ming and Qing style.
Of course, the materials used are not all ancient wood, but you can't tell from the appearance. This can be regarded as a kind of modern art.
Hengzhen Film and Television Base is divided into several areas. Langya Bang is a costume drama, so Shen Mu and Ye Lan did not stay too much elsewhere, but went straight to the ancient palace.
Ye Lan had already contacted the person in charge here before coming here, and she also knew that in the major venues of Hengzhen Film and Television Base, if the crew enters, there is no rent required.
After all, the presence of the crew can bring popularity to Hengzhen, and there are many star-chasers who want to come here to meet their idols.
Tourism projects such as catering and accommodation are Hengzhen’s real economic source.
Therefore, filming by the crew and Hengzhen can be said to complement each other. The two are mutually beneficial and win-win, and one is indispensable.
Shen Mu and Ye Lan came here today. Negotiating the venue was the first purpose, and other necessary things such as serving the Hua Dao also needed to be negotiated in advance. Of course, the latter required rent.
The person in charge of the ancient palace is named Song Yuanzhang. He is a middle-aged man wearing glasses and looking gentle.
But there was an unknown shrewdness in his eyes under the thick lenses.
"Mr. Shen, Miss Ye, our ancient palace has been built for thirty-two years. Every year we invite professionals to maintain it. Another way of saying it is to make it old. You can feel the quaint atmosphere!"
Song Yuanzhang kept introducing information about the ancient palace. He may have said these words countless times.
Even some directors who often filmed in the ancient palace did not need much introduction from him.
But these two people looked unfamiliar at first glance, so Song Yuanzhang explained it in detail again, and introduced it in a very professional manner.
Shen Mu, who had just walked into the ancient palace, was shocked by the many simple and majestic ancient buildings, and was completely immersed in the ancient atmosphere.
As for Ye Lan, she had actually been to the ancient palace before with the crew, and her feelings were not as strong as Shen Mu's. She mostly negotiated specific matters with Song Yuanzhang.
"Ms. Ye, the venue of the ancient palace is free for the crew to enter. As for the service, extras, and staff you mentioned, why don't you go to my office to discuss the specific details?"
Seeing that the other party seemed to be quite sincere and not just here for a casual visit, Song Yuanzhang's attitude became much more enthusiastic. Naturally, the specific details needed to be discussed in detail.
"Sister Lan, you go talk to Manager Song, I'll go shopping later!"
Shen Mu had a headache when he thought about those details, and Ye Lan had been an agent for several years. It was his job to talk about these things, and he chose to believe it completely.
What's more, now that Ye Lan is the majority shareholder of Mu Lan Studio, Shen Mu can completely delegate power.
Of course, the most important thing is that he really wants to see more of this ancient palace.
"Look, Manager Song, I'm a good job as a hands-off shopkeeper. Alas, it seems that I really have a hard life!"
Ye Lan rolled her eyes, but what she said sounded like a young couple flirting.
Song Yuanzhang, who was well-informed, naturally smiled tacitly.
"Director Shen is so lucky to have a girlfriend like Miss Ye!"
"Haha, Manager Song is really good at talking, I'm optimistic about you!"
Shen Mu watched the two people drifting away, but still listened to the conversation between the two people, and couldn't help but laugh and cry.
My sister Lan really enjoys teasing her all the time.
"never mind!"
In the end, Shen Mu could only shake his head, and without any intention of rushing forward to explain, he turned around and walked towards the depths of the ancient palace.
"Eh? It seems like a crew is filming!"
About ten minutes later, when Shen Mu turned around a corner and saw someone blocking the front door with colorful ribbons, she immediately guessed what was going on there.
At the Hengzhen Film and Television Base, it is easy to meet the crews who are filming, and outsiders are not allowed to visit these crews, as long as you don't take photos and send them out casually.
Of course, if they agree, some refined so-called Reuters photos can be released, which can be regarded as promoting the new drama.
"Sir, just watch it here!"
When Shen Mu took a few steps closer, a crew member came over and stopped him directly.
Shen Mu didn't take it seriously and just stood there and looked inside.
Clang clang clang!
What is being filmed at the moment should be a fight scene. There are two people hanging wires in the air, and their movements are quite cool.
One of them, in particular, from Shen Mu's point of view, should have studied martial arts.
After several flashes of swords and swords in the air, the martial arts man seemed to have accidentally fallen out of the air and fell heavily to the ground, making a loud noise.
Fortunately, Wia reluctantly pulled it, otherwise the man would have been seriously injured. Fighting is so dangerous.
And Shen Mu, who had been watching the battle not far away, couldn't help but frown slightly.
Because he clearly saw that the mistake this time was not that person's fault, but his opponent's operation error, which almost led to a catastrophe.
The opponent's knife stabbed directly into the man's chest, but obviously the original action was not like this. It was because the opponent did not grasp the direction and killed the man by surprise.
"Click!"
Due to this mistake, it was naturally impossible for the scene to continue.
The director shouted directly, and many crew members looked unhappy and glared at the man who fell to the ground.
Obviously everyone is quite dissatisfied with this mistake. Playing a game like Diao Wei Ya is very time-consuming and laborious. If you can't do it once, it will waste more time.
"Guo Tianzhen, what did you do? Is it okay?"
A staff member holding a loudspeaker almost hit the man in the face with the loudspeaker. His words were also extremely rude, and he was obviously angry.
"I'm sorry, assistant director, I'm sorry, it's my fault, please give me another chance!"
A sturdy man named Guo Tianzhen staggered up from the ground, his body still trembling a little.
It was obvious that the fall just now was very painful, but his attitude was extremely humble.
The assistant director has great power in the crew, and sometimes it is even more flattering than the director, because many specific things are done by the assistant director.
The crew was already used to this kind of thing. They were just unhappy because it wasted time. But now that the matter had come to this, they could only do it all over again.
