Chapter 32 The scenery of Central Plains. Chen An, who finished the exam ahead of time, brought the crew to the village where the filming was to take place. The nearest county town is half an hour away, so the crew rented several cars to facilitate the journey. Hot summer. Even in the north it seems a bit hot. After getting off the car, Chen An talked with the local villagers and rented houses and farmland. After all, it is needed for shooting. It is almost time for the second wave of sowing, so we can just catch up. The house to be photographed is a house standing on a small hill, surrounded by woods and no other houses. Sitting there alone, the wind blowing from afar made the surrounding leaves rustle, filled with a different kind of loneliness, just like the heroine's heart.
Chen An was very satisfied and then arranged for people to inspect and modify the interior of the house. The children were asked to play the roles in the film, and their remuneration was given to them in the form of the clothes they wore during filming. We also prepared some candies during the filming so that they would cooperate. When parents in the village heard that gifts were being given away and the filming was being done in the village, they sent their children over to see it. Chen An picked out a relatively quiet child among them, with big dark eyes and a delicate appearance. The filming plot adaptation of "Little Forest" is not difficult. It is difficult to photograph the scenery. If you want to capture picturesque scenery, it is impossible for you to take the same photos as in your previous life. Even if I have the original picture in my mind, it doesn’t mean much now. Chen An also wants to incorporate his own shooting ideas into it. After the opening ceremony, Chen An quickly started filming. "Brother Le, I'm sorry to bother you this time. The shooting period is a bit long." Chen An, who was about to start the first evening shooting, found the photographer he had personally invited this time and said. Lu Le, who was checking the camera, smiled and said, "It's nothing to work with Director Chen once, and your script this time is different from others. It's a brand new experience, so it doesn't hurt to give it a try." After chatting for a while, Chen An went to find his senior sister Yu Jinghong. She changed into Chen An's clothes, wearing shorts, a short-sleeved shirt, slippers, a beige jacket on the outside, and a straw hat on her head. The makeup artist was applying moisture to her face. It looks like it has a unique beauty, with a sense of purity in its unruly nature, which is exactly what Chen An wants. "Director Chen, this dress is a bit big." When Yu Jinghong saw Chen An coming over, he held up his coat and spoke to Chen An. "Really? It's fine as long as it doesn't smell good. A bigger one would be better. It would create a sense of contrast and look better!"
Chen An, who was standing in front of him, thought Yu Jinghong was very beautiful because of her heroic yet weak appearance, and couldn't help but praise her. Hearing the answer, Yu Jinghong smiled and said, "Really? Men's hobbies are really different." "That is, never be a small man's x cough cough, just be ready and start." Chen An, who was about to let the cat out of the bag, quickly stopped talking. "Director Chen is almost done." The makeup artist also said from the side. "Then let's get started." The first scene shot by Chen An is also the first scene of the movie. The beginning of everything. As for the introduction of this village, the post-production dubbing shows that what Chen An is currently filming is the heroine Lin Shi riding a bicycle on a country road. The chirping of cicadas in the afternoon, accompanied by the lush trees beside the road, swaying gently in the breeze. The heroine in the middle of the road was riding a bicycle slowly, and her long white legs appeared in the picture while pedaling. The breeze floated her hair and caressed her charming face. There was some transparent sweat on her face, and the lower half of her loose coat was blown back by the wind. The country road was endless, with only a beautiful woman riding a bicycle in the middle. Dressed simply, with a straw hat and slippers, there is a sense of contrasting beauty. After the display is completed, the scene is considered to be shot. "Pass!" The first line of filming was not difficult, and the dubbing introduction was also completed in post-production. Chen An chose to pass it, and also hoped that the subsequent filming process would go smoothly. After stopping the shooting, Yu Jinghong also stopped the car, and the makeup artist immediately went to wipe off the makeup water and began to change the shooting location. This movie is mainly about. The heroine, who couldn't face the city, returned to her hometown and kept choosing between her hometown and the city, unable to face her true self. Life in my hometown was mostly spent in hesitation about my own choices, and comparing them with the memories of my time with my mother. Finally, with the help of conversations with friends and letters from my mother, I made up my mind. Shooting is divided into indoor and outdoor, and outdoor shooting can only be done according to the season. Indoor shooting is much simpler, but indoor shooting is difficult for the actors. It’s okay in the early stages, but later on they have to wear clothes that are not suitable for the season. Chen An also made some changes to the types of dishes. If he didn't change the dishes, Chen An was really afraid that he would be scolded to death by the audience. There are so many delicious Chinese foods, but instead of filming dishes that even Chen An himself cannot understand, he could just find a crooked tree and hang himself. So Chen An first focused on shooting the indoor scenes. I thought it would be easier than outdoor scenery, but I didn’t expect this girl knew nothing about cooking. Anxious Chen An could only teach her how to operate it step by step. Fortunately, the video did not require a panoramic shot of the entire process, otherwise it would be a disaster.
The picture shooting is also partial shooting. The panorama only captures a few scenes, and there is still room for operation. Except for the shots of cutting vegetables, all other dishes were shot by Chen An himself. "Senior sister, I never expected that you are so ignorant and incompetent." After finishing a shoot, Chen An stood beside Yu Jinghong and couldn't help but complain. Yu Jinghong had an innocent expression on her beautiful face but cunning eyes as she said: "There's no rule that all girls have to know how to cook. When you approached me, you said you liked my image. Now you can't go back on your word, so you should just focus on teaching me more." After saying that, he winked at Chen An. Suddenly, everyone around burst into laughter at Chen An's expression, which looked as if he was hurt. Chen Wei, who was standing behind the camera, was laughing so hard that he was twitching. Duan Long, who couldn't help laughing, lowered his head. Tao Hong, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but pat Duan Long's shoulder while laughing. A world was created where only Chen An was injured. There were a lot of indoor shooting plans, but they were not finished all at once. While filming, I had to follow the villagers as they sowed seeds. Chen An has also done this and has some understanding of it. But no matter how much I know, I don’t understand as well as the local villagers. I followed them to sow and take photos, but I felt I was being guided by real professionals. After the crew secured all the photographic equipment, everyone went down to the fields and started sowing. There aren’t many shots in this section, but the fields still need to be planted well. After all, it has been rented. When the harvest is completed, everyone can take the crops and eat them themselves. If they can’t finish them, they can sell them or take them home to eat. Chen An also went to the fields to sow seeds himself. The villagers who were watching nearby gave him instructions and sat together to chat when they were tired. After farming, Chen An, who was a little tired, sat back by the field and planned to take a rest. As soon as he sat down, a small hand covered in mud handed him a glass of cold water. Chen An turned around and saw that it was his heroine, Yu Jinghong. "Why, do you dislike it? Just forget it if you don't want to drink it." Yu Jinghong said unhappily as he looked at Chen An who turned around and kept staring at him. The originally fair face was covered with some dirt, which looked a little funny. Chen An reacted and quickly took the cold water in front of him: "Drink it, why not drink it." He drank all the water in the cup in one gulp. "I really didn't expect that a young and talented director like you can cook and farm. You are really multi-talented." Yu Jinghong, who was sitting next to him, looked at the director who was drinking water in a hurry and suddenly became a little curious about him. Chen An put the water cup next to him, supported his hands behind his back, looked at the fields in front of him and said with a smile:
"If I hadn't chosen to apply for Beijing Film Academy, what I would be doing now would be my work and life, not being a director." "Occasionally, when I have some spare money during the slack season, I can go to the street, buy a pirated DVD, and watch a movie made by someone else." “Then I sighed and thought, it would be great if I could shoot one myself.” Everyone in the farmland was busy working, and the warm breeze blew by. The two of them didn't talk anymore, but just watched the scene in front of them quietly. Thanks for the support of the boss, please
