The weather was strange. On the day we came to Jiangcheng, the light snow turned to heavy snow. The next day, the wind and snow stopped and the sky turned overcast. However, at around 7 o'clock this morning, the clouds and mist cleared and the sun appeared.
If you ignore the white snow on the roof, the sunny sky looks like spring.
"Xiqian, Xiaoxuan, please go slowly and come back often when you have time." Outside the courtyard gate, grandma, uncle and aunt waved goodbye.
Grandma had a look of reluctance on her face. The old man's attachment to his family was hard to understand. For most of his life, he only wished for family harmony and more reunions.
"Grandma, goodbye, uncle and aunt..." Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei called each other and said goodbye one by one.
Under the watch of everyone, the two of them and Liu Xiaoli got into their aunt's car. Finally, with the window open and a wave of their hands, the aunt started the car and headed for the airport.
It wasn't until the car turned around at the entrance of the alley that there was no trace of it, and then Grandma and the others turned around and went back.
Liu Xiaoli and Sissi didn't come back after a year off. This year they went home to pay New Year greetings, which made the whole family happy. Chu Xuan's arrival also made this year completely different.
And based on their recognition of Chu Xuan's good performance, it was like adding a new member to the family, making grandma and the others feel that their family was prosperous. The joy and happiness on their faces had not diminished in the past two days.
"I don't know if I can hold my great-grandson before I die." Grandma muttered.
"Mom, you are in good health, so why should you die?" Auntie frowned.
"Mom, I will definitely do it," my uncle said, supporting my grandmother.
Grandma was very happy to hear what her son and daughter-in-law said. While she wished her eldest daughter Liu Xiaoli and her family all the best, she also gave her purest wishes to her granddaughter Xixi and her prospective grandson-in-law Chu Xuan.
…
After a day and night of cleaning by firefighters and volunteers, and the wind and snow stopped early, except for the ice and snow still piled up on the pedestrian streets, the asphalt road surface returned to its original state, except that the water from the melted ice and snow wet the road surface, making the entire road surface wet.
black.
Zhou Wenqiong was driving the car, Liu Xiaoli was watching the scenery in the passenger seat, and Liu Yifei was on the back seat calling her father to say goodbye. Basically, Liu Yifei only responded, and Xu Shiankang kept telling her daughter what to pay attention to.
After talking for a few minutes, Liu Yifei handed the phone to Chu Xuan again. Ankang gave Chu Xuan a few more words, and then Chu Xuan hung up the phone and returned the phone to Liu Yifei.
The vehicle stopped in front of the airport passage. Zhou Wenqiong wanted to send his family of three into the terminal, but Liu Xiaoli refused on the grounds of "go back to accompany my mother quickly."
"Qianxi, Xiaoxuan, that aunt is gone." Zhou Wenqiong said.
"Goodbye, auntie." Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei prepared to get out of the car.
"I'll go to the capital to meet you some other time when I'm free, and go check out your big villa." Zhou Wenqiong said again as the two children opened the car door.
"Okay, auntie, I must come!" Liu Yifei got out of the car and turned to Zhou Wenqiong.
"Sister, have a nice trip." Zhou Wenqiong waved to Liu Xiaoli at the end.
Liu Xiaoli waved her hand, then lifted the satchel on her right shoulder, then turned around and walked toward the terminal with Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei.
The family of three came to the lounge to sit down and each ordered a cup of coffee while waiting for the flight to arrive.
During this period, Chu Xuan received a call from Wang Jinhua.
"sister."
"Yes, instead of going to Zhejiang Province, go directly to Yunnan and Yunnan. The micro-film is being set up."
Wang Jinhua confirmed their itinerary, and Chu Xuan answered.
Chu Xuan, the crew member of "Zhu Xian" in Zhejiang Province, called Zhao Jian yesterday to communicate. The filming of "Zhu Xian" is currently going smoothly.
Of course, there are relatively sufficient funds, a group of very professional teachers to assist, and Zhang Jizhong's partners from various departments of the crew who have worked with him for many years;
Moreover, Zhang Jizhong was only in name, and Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei did not interfere. Zhao Jian, who had no restrictions, was very cheerful and full of secret energy. He wanted to show off his skills and complete the filming of "Zhu Xian" and build his reputation as a director.
Especially when there is a group of senior actors. In the eyes of many directors, good actors do not need to be directed at all. For the effects to be presented in each scene in the script, those good actors can directly shoot, which is called shooting.
A silky smooth and smooth one.
Even though there are two newcomers, Huang Xuan and Zhao Liying, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei gave them detailed methods of guiding and training basic skills in advance and taught them the skills of thinking about the script. As long as the two of them insist on practicing every day, under Huang Lei's on-site guidance,
It's not difficult to make a TV series.
Many people criticize Huang Lei for his poor acting skills. Compared with those veteran actors, there is naturally a gap.
Compared with his classmate Wang Jinsong, Huang Lei's performance level and artistic attainments are also several levels behind.
But whether it is on the Beijing Film Academy official website or the Beijing Film Academy forum, Huang Lei’s teaching level is actually higher than Wang Jinsong’s, and this is recognized.
If you know how to perform, you may not necessarily know how to teach.
Being able to teach drama does not necessarily mean you have good acting skills.
As a performance director, Huang Lei is absolutely qualified, not to mention that the crew of "Zhu Xian" also has a group of teachers such as Chen Daoming. In this era, these teachers and actors are very enthusiastic and take good care of young actors.
This Zhao Jian is also very comfortable to shoot.
Therefore, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei were completely relieved about the filming of "Zhu Xian".
At present, the crew of "Zhu Xian" has moved to the Yandang Mountain Scenic Area for filming, and the next stop is the terminal, Yunnan Tianlong Film and Television City, where the micro-movie "Hope" happened to be filmed.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei decided to take the first step and go to Tianlong Film and Television City to meet up with Wen Muye, Liu Yi and other teachers who had already arrived here to start setting up the scene. They also waited for the arrival of the "Zhu Xian" crew.
…
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, at around one o'clock at noon, a plane from Jiangcheng landed at the DL Municipal Airport in Yundian Province.
The temperature in Jiangcheng was only 3 to 4 degrees Celsius, but as soon as we left Dali Airport, we felt warm and warm.
The temperature of just over ten degrees made Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli feel even more comfortable.
"Chu Xuan! Liu Yifei!"
Even though he is wearing a hat and sunglasses, he is still in name only and is recognized by passers-by as always.
The main reason is that Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei are so recognisable, they are lovers, and they are in and out of the same place all the time. The fact that the two are almost inseparable has already spread on the Internet.
Moreover, the intimate gesture of two people holding hands, their youthful state, and the eye-catching temperament brought by the way they walk, all combined, make the two people not only unique in the circle, but also in the eyes of the audience.
Different.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei waved to the passers-by. Wen Muye had already arranged for the driver to temporarily rent a nanny car and wait outside the passage. They got in the car with Liu Xiaoli, and under the excited looks of passers-by, the nanny car drove slowly away.
Fading away.
However, the whereabouts of Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei in Spring City were naturally exposed online.
As for netizens’ speculation, is it for the filming of a micro-movie? Or a transition from "Zhu Xian"? Or other activities? With Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei's very Buddhist characters, they will not pay attention to this aspect as usual.
But when Chu Xuan got into the nanny car, he was attracted by a text message that said he had received 15 million yuan.
Chu Xuan lowered his head and looked at the bank text message, and gradually raised the corner of his mouth. Sister Hua called him in the morning to confirm his itinerary. After hearing that the micro-film was already being set, she transferred the money in the afternoon.
He didn't have much thought about this. The relationship between him and Sister Hua was beyond what this mere 15 million could compare with.
"The graduation gift has arrived." He showed his mobile phone to Liu Yifei.
Liu Yifei smoothed her hair beside her ear, leaned over and looked at the text message, and the corners of her mouth gradually turned up as she said, "Sister Hua is so grand."
Liu Xiaoli, who was sitting opposite, glanced at Chu Xuan's mobile phone screen and couldn't see the specific content, but the "graduation gift" they exchanged made her understand what was going on.
"Be careful and make the micro-movie well, so that it can be worthy of the gift your sister Hua gives you," she said.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei nodded. Regardless of whether there is this gift from Sister Hua or not, the micro-movie is a step in their series of plans. Of course, they must treat it with great vigor.
Dali Airport is dozens of kilometers away from Tianlong Babu Film and Television Base. After the nanny car got on the national highway and stabilized, Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei, and Liu Xiaoli closed their eyes to rest.
At 2:30 in the afternoon, the sun was getting stronger. The nanny car stopped at the entrance of Tianlong Babu Film and Television Base. After Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei, and Liu Xiaoli got out of the car, they felt the heat for the first time in this rare winter.
Liu Yifei wanted to change into a thinner coat, but Liu Xiaoli stopped her.
"It's easy to catch a cold. Let's get used to it for a while," she said.
Liu Yifei frowned slightly, but following her mother's words, she didn't say much and walked with Chu Xuan towards Wen Muye and others waiting at the entrance of the film and television base.
"Brother and sister, happy New Year." Wen Muye said.
"Chu Xuan, Qianqian, happy New Year." Liu Yi said.
"Mr. Chu, Producer Liu, happy New Year." Wang Bowen said.
Wang Bowen is one of the special effects supervisors at Bright Times Film and Television Company. Zeng Zhengzong had to deal with the affairs of "Zhu Xian", so he recommended his colleague Wang Bowen, who had also returned from Hollywood studies, to be the special effects team of the "Hope" micro-movie.
director, and special effects supervisor in post-production.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei had no objection to Zeng Zhengzong's recommendation. Professionals recommended professionals. As beginners, they also trusted them since they were from their own company.
"I'm going to the hotel to put my luggage." Liu Xiaoli got the room card from the crew, and the people with the team took the salutes of Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, turned around, and returned to the nanny car to go to the hotel first.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei followed Wen Muye to the studio where the "Hope" crew was located.
The Tianlong Film and Television Base is very large. It was built in 2002 with an investment of more than 100 million in Millennium. The land price in the suburbs of Dali was not expensive at that time, and there was policy support. Just imagine this film and television base.
How old is it.
Although it is far inferior to Hengcheng in Zhejiang Province, it is still ranked high in the country.
As I walked and looked around, I saw that some ancient buildings were circled by some film crews as studios. There was a "No Entry for Unused Persons" sign far away from the building.
There are also many extras staying in specific locations. They are probably people from DL urban area or nearby cities and counties. They come here to work part-time during the Spring Festival, or they have dreams of becoming stars and come here to pursue their dreams, or they hate coming here because they are tired from work.
When extras are lying around, they go about their lives.
When they saw Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, especially when they saw Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, many people looked at them, but no one dared to act rashly and just watched.
The so-called Extras Guild exists in every film and television base. It has set unwritten rules that no one dares to mess with. If you mess with it, there will be no good consequences.
This is the situation in the actual scenic area of the film and television base. Compared with the actual scenic area, the studio area seems deserted.
This is because every studio of different sizes and specifications is closed. Some studios have closed doors similar to those of factories. There is a "no entry allowed" sign on the door, which means that the studio is open. Because the studio is closed.
The door is closed so that no one can observe what is going on inside.
Moreover, the soundproofing is very good, so outsiders cannot know how many people are inside or what is going on inside.
The "Hope" micro-film crew, with the help of Zhang Jizhong and the strength of Bright Times, Wen Muye easily rented a large studio when he arrived on the second day of the new year.
"I'm going to recruit extras on the spot."
"The handheld cameras of the five camera teams, the assistants, and the focus pullers were temporarily recruited from the local area on the recommendation of the management of the film and television base."
"The leader of the props team is a deputy leader from "Zhu Xian", and the rest are recommended by the film and television base."
"The leader of the Wia team is also a deputy from "Zhu Xian", and the rest were recruited from the film and television base."
"Teacher Wang, the leader of the special effects team, has a total of 8 people including the original painter."
"There are 6 people in the lighting team and 5 people in the field management department."
"There is no need for a costume team or makeup team. This short film only focuses on the two of you, senior brother and senior sister. From the beginning to the end, only one set of costumes and five sets of fine-tuned makeup are enough. Senior brother and senior sister, you can do it with your own team.
."
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei nodded slowly. Wen Muye's handling of things was relatively clear. What should be organized and what should be saved, the arrangements were pretty good.
"Producer, where is the assistant director on set?" Liu Yifei asked, and the crew stepped forward to open the studio door.
"The producer is Teacher Li Xue, and the on-site assistant director is Director Kong Sheng. Senior brothers and sisters, what do you think?" Wen Muye said.
"Li Xue, Kong Sheng... are the two new teachers who joined our film and television company, the two we saw last time when the company was listed?" Liu Yifei asked.
"Yes." Liu Yi nodded: "Kino and I chatted with two teachers that day. They were also very interested in science fiction. After reading the script, they thought it was very interesting and were willing to come over and help. Anyway, they both
We are one of our own, so there is no pressure to communicate.”
"Kino, you are the director, do the two teachers have no objection?" Chu Xuan glanced at Wen Kino.
Wen Muye shook his head and said: "No, Director Kong Sheng said that when it comes to science fiction movies that have never been seen in China, no matter who is the director, they have no experience, and it is also a learning process."
"It couldn't be better." Chu Xuan smiled. Two relatively experienced directors came to help him and Liu Yifei make a short film, and they came with the attitude of learning. He raised his hands to welcome them.
"What do you think?" He looked at Liu Yifei.
"Very good, these two teachers are very good." Liu Yifei nodded.
"Then please come." After receiving Liu Yifei's reply, Chu Xuan made a decision.
"Okay, I'll contact you." Liu Yi nodded.
Liu Yifei blinked, looking very happy.
He and Chu Xuan are the producers, Wen Mino is the executive director, Liu Yi is the chief screenwriter, Li Xue is the supervisor, and Kong Sheng is the on-set assistant director. This lineup is already good, so let her have a good impression of her and Chu Xuan's micro-film.
Confidence is higher.
Previously, two great directors, Chen Kaige and Tang Jili, had also said that they would take time to come over for guidance, and she was even more looking forward to it.
"As for assistant directors, life producers and other mid-level positions that deal with miscellaneous matters, we should recruit them directly at the film and television base. Our crew only has thirty or forty people in total, so it is not difficult to manage. When filming CG group scenes, let them manage the group.
Acting, senior brother and senior sister don’t have to worry too much about daily management." Fumino said.
"Just follow the arrangement you said. If you need money, budget it in advance and I will spend it." Chu Xuan agreed with Wen Muye's arrangement.
Wen Muye nodded. His senior brother's attitude of daring to delegate power made him more enthusiastic about the filming of the micro-film.
