I just finished writing and didn't have time to revise it. Please read it later. I'll revise the wrong sentences first. Sorry.

After coming out of his parents' shop in his previous life, Zhong Yunqing was about to get down to business.
The crew and crew arranged by China Film had arrived two days ago. At this time, they were settling in a small hotel in the suburbs that had been booked.
Well, the distance from the suburbs of the small county to the city is very short, about two kilometers. The crew has two minibuses to pick up and drop off, which is very convenient.
Now Zhong Yunqing is going to take Sisi and Yaya to have dinner with the crew, so that everyone can meet and get familiar with each other first.
Naturally, Zhong Yunqing did not direct this movie himself, but like Chef Fang, he had a capable assistant director to help with the whole process.
And this assistant director is also an old acquaintance of his: Ning Hao.
Ning Hao came over to help. The two of them had discussed this before The Stone was released. It just so happened that this guy didn't have any other acting appointments during this time. In line with the principle of "anything is idle, it's idle anyway", so he came over to help.
place.
Of course, Zhong Yunqing is a kind-hearted person, which is recognized in his circle of friends. The director's fee he paid was very, very sincere.
Well, Ning Hao is actually willing to be a deputy. In addition to earning a considerable amount of money, this guy also invested a lot of money in this movie. Now as someone with "original shares", he is also working for himself.
Zhong Yunqing and Sisi are not staying at the hotel where the crew is staying tonight, and it is inconvenient for Lao Hu and the others who are not part of the crew to come over for dinner together.
So soon the two business cars "parted ways". He drove the others back to the hotel, while Zhong Yunqing drove another car and took Sisi and Yaya to a three-star hotel called Yingbin Hotel.
Well, after all, this was the small county town of Qiongdao in 2006, and the three-star hotels were already the most upscale in the area.
The small hotel where the crew is located is not suitable for the crew to have dinner together, so we held a dinner party at the Guest House.
This meal tonight will be a start-up party.
Because the filming schedule is quite rushed, according to Zhong Yunqing's pre-thoughts, the plot of the movie "Heard" is very simple. If nothing goes wrong, the entire plot is expected to be filmed before the Spring Festival.
Before the filming plan was finalized, he specifically checked the calendar. The Spring Festival of 2007 was on February 17th. Calculating this, the filming time would only be about one and a half months.
When we got to the place, we parked the car. Several people put on their masks and got out of the car, and saw Ning Hao and his wife just walking to the door.
Zhong Yunqing stepped forward and shouted to Ning Hao's back:
"Hey, Director Ning..."
After spending half a year together in the mountain city, Ning Hao naturally recognized Zhong Yunqing's voice. But before he could react, Zhong Yunqing then stepped forward and stretched out his hand:
"Long time no see! Director Ning, I have gained a lot of weight recently. Is it because my sister-in-law cooks delicious food?"
"Director Zhong, look at what you said, I was just about to ask. It's only been two months since I last saw you, and you've gained some weight!"
As soon as the two met, they started exchanging business blows, which made several girls beside them feel sour.
Ning Hao's wife looked at Sisi and the others on the other side, smiled and criticized the two inconspicuous directors:
"You two are pretty good, and you're not afraid of being laughed at by girls."
The two of them laughed at each other and started to talk seriously.
Ning Hao was naturally the first to speak. His participation in directing a love movie this time was actually a new attempt for him. So he needs to start with the ugly words:
"Yun Qing, of course I have no problem if you ask me to help you. But I have to state one thing first. I'm actually not very good at filming emotional scenes between men and women. We need to agree on this in advance. I can only say that for this
This is a brand new field, we belong to learn from each other..."
Seeing how serious he was, Zhong Yunqing thought that this guy was planning to "escape". Isn't it because he was not familiar with how to make romantic movies? This was not a big deal for Zhong Yunqing.
After all, he had watched this movie several times in his previous life. Although the script needed major changes due to the change of provincial setting, the emotional core of the male and female protagonists remained unchanged, and the general plot was still the same.
So for him, as long as the story frame is still there, it won't be difficult to film it.
"It's okay, you are a veteran, and I trust you unconditionally. My script looks very simple and clear, and there is nothing complicated at all. Just follow the script. If it doesn't work, why don't you still have me?
, every time a plot is filmed, I will check it completely. After this movie is filmed, we will grow up together."
His idea was: Ning Hao would shoot the preliminary plot according to the script, and then he would watch the playback carefully several times during the break. Then he would find out the shortcomings in the clip, and then discuss reshoots with Ning Hao. This way it would be efficient.
It's much higher than directing and acting.
Zhong Yunqing's words gave Ning Hao no worries, and the rest was much simpler. After all, he had just become famous through the popularity of Stone, so his self-confidence was still very high.
"Okay, as long as you say this, I'll be fine."
After the two of them finished chatting about business, they walked to the Chinese restaurant of the Guest House with a few girls talking and laughing.
After all, most of this new crew are people from China Film Group, and Zhong Yunqing is not familiar with them. So they shook hands with each other during Ning Hao's introduction.
Then there is the aspect of actors. In the movie "Heard", there are actually not many actors who appear in the main scene.
Apart from the male protagonist Zhong Yunqing and the sisters Sisi Yaya, the only ones who have more scenes are the male protagonist's parents.
As for the other characters, they are basically just soy sauce characters.
And when it comes to the actors who play the male protagonist’s parents, that’s interesting.
Zhong Yunqing's casting drew on the casting of later generations. The male protagonist's father is played by Teacher Yu Qian. Well, he is the "wretched" uncle from Deyun Club who likes to perm his hair.
Despite the fact that he performs cross talk every day, Teacher Yu is actually a serious academic and graduated from Beijing Film Academy. And he is one senior higher than the legendary class of Class 96!
The most important reason for looking for Teacher Yu is that the male protagonist’s parents need to have acting skills and have a certain element of comedy. That’s why Zhong Yunqing specifically discussed this matter with Teacher Yu Qian when he guest-starred as Chef Fang.
The other party is actually quite addicted to drama, so he agreed after thinking about it for a few minutes.
In fact, Guo Degang can be replaced, but Zhong Yunqing is a little afraid of this guy.
After all, like a curse, most of the films that Lao Guo personally participated in in later generations were commercial hits. Thinking about it this way, Zhong Yunqing felt that Teacher Yu was more reliable.
Reborn people also need to pay attention to the basic laws. Lao Guo's kind is a dimensionality reduction attack.
As for the role of the protagonist’s mother, Zhong Yunqing couldn’t recruit her at that time, so she had to ask China Film Group to help, and invited someone who is now absolutely responsible in the comedy world: Teacher Song Dandan.
The second part of "All About Us" has just finished airing. At this time, Liu Mei added the artificial image of her mother, and the main actors of "Wulin Gaiden" and "All About Us" were completely linked.
Of course, there are only a few actors in this movie, so there is no magic modification at all. The only thing that has been really changed is the plot.
The original version of "Heard and Heard" in the previous life was a story that took place on a small island "on the other side of the sea". The most time-saving and labor-saving method should have been to shoot directly from memory.
As a result, due to political reasons, Zhong Yunqing can only launch "Plan B" and change the background of the story to Qiongdao. Once the background of the story is changed, the core of the entire story will naturally need to be adjusted.
For example, the dialects that appear in the movie have been changed from (Wan, Wan) to Qiongdao. Zhong Yunqing planned to promote the local dialect of Qiongdao, so he also deliberately arranged a few lines of Qiongdao dialect for the male protagonist's parents and the male protagonist.
But fortunately, I heard that this movie mainly highlights the emotional line between the male and female protagonists, so the background of the story does not affect the overall quality to be honest.
Entering the banquet hall, the crew was already seated. Zhong Yunqing saw a familiar face sitting in the corner, so he quickly walked over and said hello:
"Hello, Teacher Dandan. I am Zhong Yunqing, the director of this movie."
Old actors are basically humble after all, and will not rely on their seniority to show off their skills. She stopped applying makeup, stood up, stretched out her hand and replied:
"Hello, Director Zhong."
After saying hello, Song Dandan immediately remembered something and then said:
"Hey, Director Zhong, I heard that you plan to direct and star in this movie yourself, right?"
"Well, do you have any questions?" Zhong Yunqing asked in confusion.
"Oh, that's not true. I just thought that it would be a little emotional to be able to play the mother of a college student of your age in a blink of an eye..."
Don't say it, she is right to say so. After playing the role of family members and children, Liu Mei continued her seamless movie.
…………
"Sisi, we will go back tomorrow 6"
Seeing the girls reluctant to leave Yazi, Zhong Yunqing's eyes turned cunningly.
Since you have such a deep love for each other as sisters, you might as well not leave and stay and continue to "play a small role".
But it makes sense when you think about it. The publicity of later generations described Ying Bao as a minor player for seven years. Zhong Yunqing did not let this girl serve as a minor player for two more years. How could she live up to the praise of "Zhao Hengdian" or "Zhao minor player".
Therefore, Zhong Yunqing was of course happy to see the success and said:
"Liying, I see that you two have such a deep love for each other as sisters, how about you stay and play a guest role?"
Hey... "Can we still act in a movie?"
"Of course, I'm the director. If I say you can do it, you can do it!"
“Not only can you hone your acting skills, but you can also earn some money for your flight home, killing two birds with one stone!”
"Wow! Then I want to act!"
"Jianing, Xiaotong, you don't have to be envious, I also invite you to stay and play a role together."
Yeah? In fact, it doesn’t matter whether you play a small role or not, the main thing is that you can stay and play. Anyway, the crew provides food, accommodation, and wages!
"However, your characters are all hearing-impaired and need to learn a little sign language. Fortunately, there are not many scenes and the learning is not complicated."
Zhong Yunqing had already arranged for Ying Bao to play the special role of leaving the last lunch box and talking to the heroine in sign language.
As for Zhang Jianing and Mao Xiaotong, they played the scene where the two swimming team teammates were in the hospital. They accidentally chatted in sign language and the heroine discovered that her sister's lungs were injured.
As for Lao Hu, even if this guy stays, Zhong Yunqing may let him play a guest role again. Friendship is friendship, but relationships cannot be used in this way.
…………
At night, Sisi rarely came to Zhong Yunqing's room to supervise his coding. Instead, she went to brag and spank with some of her best friends.
But do you think Zhong Yunqing can be lazy like this? You are totally wrong.
Before leaving, the girl left one sentence:
"You code it carefully for me. I didn't see the update before I went to bed at ten o'clock. Let's see if I don't blame you!"
Ever since Sisi discovered that she had gained weight, her temperament has become more elusive than that of a tomboy.
Zhong Yunqing can be regarded as getting the hammer he asked for. Since he has changed the girl's appearance, he has to endure some small changes in her personality.
Of course Sisi didn't know about Zhong Yunqing's secret self-deprecation. When she came to Ying Bao's room, she found that the door was open and several girls inside were squatting together and looking at Mao Xiaotong's laptop.
Sisi was short-sighted, so of course she couldn't see the computer screen clearly, so she could only walk over and ask:
"What are you guys doing together?"
Yaya turned back and looked at her:
"Yes! Sisi, your old Zhong has written a new book. Do you know this?"
"Of course I know, I supervised him writing this book!" The girl said with a proud look on her face.
"Liu Sisi, come and read the comments. Everyone is envious of you for having a great boyfriend. You can write your own book and praise you every day!"
"You have misunderstood. This book is not written about me, but about Li Ying!"
"Ah...?" Zhao Liying was suddenly struck by thunder!
"Why? You didn't beat him up! If his heroine doesn't write about you, why write about me?"
Ying Bao is not stupid, she respects Zhong Yunqing very much, but when it comes to her friendship with Sisi, she must "show her loyalty" immediately.
"Oh, I asked him to write about you! How about it, are you impressed?"
Now Ying Bao is even more confused. And it's not just her, the other girls are also confused. Sisi, what show are you playing?
"Liu Sisi, please speak clearly!"
"It's like this, haven't you always liked Lao Hu? This movie will be adapted into a TV series in the future, with you and him starring in it! The moon comes first, the sun rises, the flowers and trees change. Liying, we will always support you!
"
This really moved Ying Bao. What better support could there be than this! Knowing that you like this person, this young couple specially wrote a movie to support you!
For the first time, Ying Bao had a different understanding of the phrase "A scholar will die for his bosom friend."
…………
The opening ceremony will be held tomorrow at the location of the first scene.
As for the location where Zhong Yunqing expected the power-on ceremony to be held, he would take Sisi and the others to reveal it next.
There is no doubt that the snack bar where the photo was taken is ready-made, just go to Father Zhong’s place directly.
In fact, he didn't think of a very good way to help his "family", so he could only use such a simple and crude "clumsy method". He chose the filming location of the movie in his parents' shop.
In addition, since I and Sisi have filmed here, I will soon be able to attract enough attention to this snack bar. I dare not say anything else in the future. Students will definitely come here to eat because of its reputation, and business will naturally be good.
