Thanks to the driver's strong connections and gossip storage, when the car passed through the bamboo forest, the villa with white walls and gray tiles in front of him instantly made the director's eyes light up!
"It must be here!"
You can’t go wrong with the aesthetics!
That's right...if the flower bed at the door was not properly maintained in the later period, it looked bare, and it really looked like a beautiful jade with flaws.
But when the director got off the car and stood at the entrance of the courtyard, the regret that the beauty was imperfect disappeared instantly.
——Nothing but a really good farmhouse in the yard. There are no landscapes, no carved beams and painted pillars, it’s just a very, very spacious farmhouse compound.
In comparison, the two flower beds at the door are nothing.
Two orange cats were jostling each other as they passed by the door. When they saw the stranger, they looked up, said "meow" twice, turned around and ran away without hesitation.
In the house, the seventh cousin heard the commotion and came out. He saw three middle-aged men, each dragging the suitcase of an elder, looking around the door. He couldn't help but ask:
"You are……"
"Hello!" The director's eyes lit up: "Song Tan lives here, right?"
"Yes," the seventh cousin nodded: "What's the matter?"
This doesn’t look like a business deal! Who brings such a big box when doing business?
The director instantly became happy: "Well, we are the crew that signed the contract with him before. We are here to see if the location and scenery are suitable. If it is suitable, we will ask the actors to come over and shoot for a while."
The main thing is to capture the flowering period. Otherwise, you can just ask the scene director to come over and slowly select and watch it slowly. There is no need for him to drag some simple viewing equipment over in person.
The seventh cousin has heard of this incident.
but--
"How did I hear that you signed on the river beach? There is nothing on the river beach now!"
It's not like there's nothing, the green buds of the reeds are already growing tall, and the grass on the pasture is growing lush and lush.
It’s just that the scene of planting lotus roots is not very beautiful, and it’s going to rain heavily next week, so how can there be any scenery to take pictures of?
He was old and didn't know much about photography, but he knew that people looking for poor mountain villages must be looking for natural beauty.
The time is wrong now!
This made the director dumbfounded. Why didn't this old man know how to adapt?
This is not a scenic spot. If you sign the river beach, isn't it normal to take pictures in other places in the village?
He wanted to say something more, but the seventh cousin had already taken out the phone:
"Hey, Tantan, someone at home is here and they say they're here to take photos of Jing'er..."
director:……
I don’t know why, but I suddenly felt guilty even though it was a consistent operation.
…
When Song Tan came back, he saw three old men sitting in the yard carrying small benches, holding a cup of slightly yellow tea in their hands, and three suitcases standing on the side obediently.
A sense of restraint.
Song Tan couldn't help but feel a little funny.
Then she was also curious: "Should we shoot in advance? I remember that the contract we signed said that it was from mid-April to the end of May?"
and……
Although she also doesn’t know much about filming, is there only three people in a crew shooting?
The director quickly said: "Boss Song, the reason why we came here early was not to take pictures of the river beach, but to see the scenery on your mountain first."
Talking about his major and seeing the right person, the director instantly regained his confidence and then continued to talk:
"It's like this. You also know that we are a fairy. The background requires a lot of original scenery, and when combined with post-production, it will present a fairyland state."
“When we signed the contract for the river beach, we also chose that place because it suited our scenario.”
"But I saw your live broadcast on the Internet that day. Those flowers and trees blooming on the mountain, it also fits our other scenes very well!"
He became excited, gesticulating and dancing:
"So I hurriedly came to take a look. If possible, we can finish filming these during the flowering period, so that our crew will not have to find another location."
His attitude was very sincere, and the two elders following behind him also looked at Song Tan expectantly, wishing they could rush up the mountain immediately.
But Song Tan frowned: "When you shoot, do you mean that the three of you went to take pictures of the scenery?"
"No, no, I will never do it in such a perfunctory way!"
"Let's see how the scenery is planned first. If it's suitable, we will arrange for the crew to come over."
The director even took out a large storybook from his backpack:
"I haven't seen the scene on the mountain in detail yet, but I saw it from the live broadcast room and made a brief idea——"
"Look, I saw that medicinal papaya flower on your mountain. I know this flower. The petals will fall off when touched. Then the second male lead will stand under the tree, and the blower will blow here..."
"You know the infatuated supporting actor...these flying petals are his desolate heart!"
"This pear blossom is also very beautiful! Our male protagonist happens to be in a beautiful, strong and miserable state. He is misunderstood, wronged, betrayed by everyone, and the people he likes hurt him severely... He is dressed in white or black - it depends.
Look at the post-production footage - but the white clothes must have layers of blood and scars."
"Anyway, no matter whether he is dressed in white or black, snow-white pear petals are falling on his body, and he is vomiting blood and staggering while walking..."
"And this and this! Peach blossom! Peach blossom forest! I think the trees are not too high, just suitable for the heroine, the hero and some supporting characters to chase and run inside..."
"By the way, there's another fight scene! Lingbo climbs up to Pingping to cross the water, but what we are crossing is peach blossom branches..."
The director only has art in his mind and is completely immersed in his own fantasy at this moment:
"At that time, the close-up shot will be pushed, the protagonist's foot will tap lightly, the peach blossom branches are trembling with dew, but the person has already flown into the air..."
The two older men behind him also became immersed in it, and their whole expressions became full of admiration.
"Also, I see there are pomegranates planted. Although they haven't bloomed yet, don't worry. When they bloom all over the mountain, they will win the fire..."
He huffed and puffed as he flipped through the storyboard, and his pride was palpable: "Look at this part! It's just enough to shoot the scene where the infatuated male supporting actor dies under this tree..."
"That sense of fate! That kind of conflict..."
Song Tan closed the storybook silently, with an expressionless face.
The director accidentally caught a glimpse of her face. She was originally dancing and full of excitement, but for some reason she became restrained step by step, and finally became restrained again.
While being cautious, he couldn't help but wonder:
I am the director, am I not the precious Party A?
But why do I feel so helpless when I look at this young girl?
The next moment, the storybook full of his talent was returned.
On a warm sunny day in March, the director heard such a cold and heartless sentence:
