Chapter 397 Temporary change of play
After training Li Xiaoran, Zhou Yan turned around and entered the house again, and found Zhao Fei to discuss adjusting his position in the afternoon.
It wasn’t until 11 o’clock at noon that the crew finished work and everyone rushed back to eat.
Zhou Yan also saw Li Xiaoran again in the cafeteria. She had indeed changed into her pajamas and tied her hair up, but she had no makeup and was wearing relatively ordinary clothes, even a T-shirt. The one I wore to my first audition.
I have to say that Li Xiaoran is really different from ordinary girls.
Seeing that she had changed her clothes and tied her hair, Zhou Yan didn't say anything else. That was all he asked of Li Xiaoran.
After dinner, Zhou Yan was about to go back to his room to pack his luggage, but Jiang Mengfei stopped in front of him with another smile.
"Old Zhou, I have arranged a car for you, do you want to take a look?"
"Car?"
Zhou Yan showed a puzzled expression. There were only a few cars. Li Hong had asked if he wanted to arrange a separate car for him, but he refused.
Anyway, the crew has a car, so he can just use the crew's car when he needs it.
At the end of Jiaochang, when Zhou Yan doesn't need a car, he can ask Zhou Hong to send a car directly if he wants to go to Zhou Hong or Zhou's Entertainment.
With curiosity, Zhou Yan and Jiang Mengfei walked outside.
Zhou Yan looked at the empty road outside and asked curiously: "Where are the cars?"
Jiang Mengfei walked to the place where the bicycles were parked and patted the seat of one of the Phoenix bicycles, " Lao Zhou, your eyes are really bad. You can’t see so many cars?”
"That's what you're talking about." Zhou Yan rolled his eyes and said angrily.
"What else?" Jiang Mengfei smiled, "Bicycles are the most practical at the end of the field. Our crew has an average of four people per car. From point 7 on the seaside to our warehouse, if we rely on It takes ten minutes to walk."
As he said that, he patted the Phoenix car again: "The one for you is the latest model."
"Yes. Well, it’s nice to ride a bicycle here when you have nothing to do.”
Zhou Yan nodded, walked over, and took the handlebar of the bicycle from Jiang Mengfei.
"How about it? Can you still ride?" Jiang Mengfei laughed, with a little doubt in his voice.
Zhou Yan smiled confidently, "Would you like me to give you a show?"
"No, if you, the director, take the lead in the performance, our crew will be left here. "It's better to be more steady."
Zhou Yan hasn't ridden a bicycle for a long time, and he is holding on to the handlebars, a little eager to try.
He pushed Jiang Mengfei away and then stepped over.
The new one is the new one, much better than the one he used to ride in school.
Wang Zuxian also walked out after eating. Seeing Zhou Yan riding a bicycle, he walked up to him with a smile, "Third brother, you want to ride a bicycle."
Zhou Yanxiao He patted the back seat and said, "Come on, classmate Xiaoxian, I'll take you for a ride."
"Okay."
Wang Zuxian didn't hesitate at all and sat on it.
The car was originally tilted, so she jumped and almost knocked the car over. Zhou Yan finally managed to stabilize the car.
Jiang Mengfei was startled beside him and hurriedly went to help Zhou Yan hold the handlebars, "You guys should be careful."
"No problem."
Zhou Yan After straightening the handlebar, he kicked off the car and the car ran away.
It is true that he has not ridden a bicycle for a long time, and his skills are a bit rusty. Although the bike is moving, it is shaky and seems to fall down at any time.
Jiang Mengfei watched with fear from behind, fearing that Zhou Yan and Wang Zuxian would fall off the car together.
But Wang Zuxian, who was sitting in the back row, was not worried at all. Instead, he took the opportunity to hug Zhou Yan's waist tightly and put his face on his back.
After only riding a distance of about ten meters, the speed of the car increased, and Zhou Yan's feeling of riding a bicycle returned. The car stopped swaying and began to move forward smoothly.
Seeing the car moving forward smoothly, Jiang Mengfei from behind also breathed a sigh of relief.
But soon, Jiang Mengfei became nervous again, because Zhou Yan stood up and pedaled directly, and the speed of the car became faster and faster.
After a while, the car ran to the front and headed towards the seaside.
After crossing a small slope in front, there is a big slope behind, and the road conditions will also get worse. If you are not careful, you may roll over.
Jiang Mengfei was startled, quickly got on his car and followed.
Zhou Yan's riding speed exceeded Jiang Mengfei's imagination. Although he was riding with someone, he was pedaling very fast. Jiang Mengfei behind him not only did not close the distance between the two parties, but the distance became further and further away.
Not long after, Zhou Yan crossed the slope in front, and Jiang Mengfei was invisible behind him.
Jiang Mengfei pedaled desperately from behind. After several minutes, he finally climbed up the opposite slope.
After going uphill, Jiang Mengfei finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Zhou Yan parked his bicycle not far away and stood on the coast with Wang Zuxian looking at the scenery.
Finally riding in front of the two of them, Jiang Mengfei panted and said, "Old Zhou, you're going to scare me to death. Hong Guantou was riding his bicycle from here a few days ago and almost fell down. You still brought You are so courageous."
Zhou Yan said with a smile, "Mengfei, your physical fitness is getting worse and worse. How tired is this for you?"
“Such a section of road?” Jiang Mengfei said angrily, “This section has a slope of forty or fifty degrees, and the road surface is not good.”
There is a main road in Jiaochangwei Village. The houses and accommodation areas they filmed are next to the main road, and the road surface is very good.
But the section to the beach, starting from the fork in the road, is a gravel road. When Zhou Yan rode over, Wang Zuxian could feel obvious bumps from behind.
If Wang Zuxian hadn't said that his butt hurt from being bumped, Zhou Yan wouldn't have stopped.
Going a little further, there is a small pier. Zhou Yan originally wanted to take a look there.
"What is that pier for?" Zhou Yan asked, pointing in the direction of the pier.
"Of course the pier is close to boats, but there are two piers here, and there are not many people in the village, so this pier is basically not used. When you weren't here, Shen Yan and I went fishing there."
“Did you catch it?”
“It’s not easy to fish, why not get a boat and walk to the middle.”
Zhou Yan stopped and looked at it, then said, “Let’s go. Go over and take a look.”
After that, he went over and rode on the car.
Wang Zuxian also walked over and whispered, "Ride slower, your butt still hurts."
"Okay." Zhou Yan smiled, "Go back and put a soft leather cushion on the back seat. It won’t hurt your butt when you sit down.”
The three of them rode towards the dock. Zhou Yan rode very slowly this time. Wang Zuxian held Zhou Yan’s waist and looked at the rolling mountains in the distance. A sea breeze blew by, making her feel very comfortable.
Jiang Mengfei was behind, with a smile on his lips.
He felt that he already understood why Zhou Yan rode so hard just now. It turned out to be for this. I have to say, Lao Zhou's move was really wonderful. Wang Zuxian was so frightened that he hugged Lao Zhou's waist tightly and did not dare to let go at all.
Thinking of this, Jiang Mengfei also speeded up and moved to the front, leaving a little space for Zhou Yan and Wang Zuxian.
When Zhou Yan parked on the slope, he felt that the pier was only a few hundred meters away from them, but when he rode over, he found that it was much further than he thought, probably a kilometer or two.
The view along the coast is wide and everything you see feels close.
And the dock is not as small as he imagined.
This is an ordinary embankment-type pier, dozens of meters long and six or seven meters wide.
Sixty-seven meters is wider than many roads. Zhou Yan rode up directly and did not stop until he reached the front of the embankment.
I have to say that this pier is indeed very suitable for fishing. With this length and width, it is easy to tie up one or two hundred fishermen.
Standing at the front of the embankment, it felt very close to the mountains on the opposite side, but Zhou Yan knew that the distance only looked close, at least five or six kilometers away.
The scenery in this area is very good. You can see the entire scenery near Jiaochangwei. You can see the rolling mountains, the vast coastline, and the rows of houses.
Wang Zuxian also liked this pier very much. She walked to the embankment and leaned down to look at the sea water below, hoping to see if she could find some fish.
“Looking at the sea water makes me want to go for a swim.”
Wang Zuxian likes swimming. Seeing the water being so clear, he naturally has the urge to go into the water.
Jiang Mengfei smiled and said, "Li Hong and the others have already gone down to swim. They said this place is suitable for snorkeling, but they don't dare to go down without equipment."
Zhou Yan nodded and said, "It's better. Be safe.”
As the first person in charge of the crew, he must pay attention to the safety of the crew members. The biggest fear at the beach is drowning.
But he also knows that when everyone comes to the beach, they all want to go down and have fun.
So he followed up and said, "Everyone who wants to go down must form a group and no one can do it alone. If anyone wants to go diving, they can find a professional team to come over and take everyone down to have fun."
"Old Shen and the others will definitely be very happy to know."
Zhou Yan nodded and began to study the dock at his feet again.
He always felt that it was a waste to put such a good dock here.
After studying for a while, he asked, "If we want to use this pier, will the procedures be troublesome?"
"Is it for filming?" Jiang Mengfei asked.
“Yeah.”
“If it’s for filming, it shouldn’t be too much trouble. I guess I can just tell the village chief. After all, this pier doesn’t usually dock with boats. At worst, we can give you some Rent.”
"You can ask later. If it works, complete the procedures in advance."
"Okay, I'll ask."
Wang Zuxian stood up and said curiously, "You What do you want to shoot on this pier?”
“I want to move the wedding scene to this pier, what do you think?”
“Wedding?”
Wang Zuxian became interested, and she carefully looked at the embankment under her feet again. The more she looked at it, the more she liked it.
In Zhou Yan's previous design, the wedding was held on the grass by the sea. Wang Zuxian also liked the open-air wedding, but compared to the wedding on the pier, the grass seemed a little less interesting.
The embankment extends from the coast to the sea, like a natural stage. With a little decoration, it will look very beautiful.
In fact, in the whole movie, what Wang Zuxian cared about the most was the wedding scene. She even regarded this scene as a preview of her wedding with Zhou Yan, or as a complement.
Her wedding to Zhou Yan will probably not be held at the beach. We can’t bring her grandparents to the beach by then.
It was even more impossible on the pier. Although the pier was quite large, it was simply impossible to accommodate their relatives and friends.
But there is no way in reality, but you can experience it in the movie.
“I think the pier is very special and interesting.” Wang Zuxian said with a smile.
Zhou Yan nodded, "Then I'll try to change it."
Jiang Mengfei licked his lips beside him. He actually thought it was a good idea to hold the wedding on the pier, but he I also know that such a change will require a lot more work.
Not to mention anything else, just the installation of the camera positions is a problem.
Although the embankment is several meters wide, it is a "one-way street" and a dead end. It is not easy to adjust during shooting.
After all, Jiang Mengfei has been with so many crews and knows a lot about filming. He can already imagine that they will definitely have to rent a few boats for this scene.
In every aspect, shooting here is more difficult than on the grass.
However, Jiang Mengfei is still confident. He believes that this change will only increase the budget at most and will not have any impact on the filming progress of the crew.
This confidence comes from the long-term cooperation of this group of people. Over the years, they have overcome difficulties one after another together. They have encountered too many situations like this temporary change of play, and they can complete it well every time.
As long as Zhou Yan’s ideas are finalized, various departments will come up with plans soon.
And the movie has not been started yet. Changing the plan early will also reserve enough time for everyone.
......
The three of them walked around the pier for a while. Zhou Yan had no tools at hand, so he roughly measured the dimensions of the embankment by pacing.
He then asked Jiang Mengfei to bring someone over to accurately measure the dimensions of the embankment.
Back in the dormitory, Zhou Yan packed his luggage first, and then went directly to the study next door to work without taking a lunch break.
Of the four rooms in their courtyard, the top two are except for the one he lives in. The one next to it is the study room, which means he lives alone on the first floor.
This study seems to be shared by him, Zhao Fei and Xiao Can, but Zhao Fei and the others also have desks in their own rooms, so there is no need to go upstairs to work. It is equivalent to Zhou Yan using such a large study alone. It is also his prerogative as a director.
Zhou Yan did not change the script, but directly drew a new storyboard.
He didn't consider the difficulty of setting up the camera stand for the time being, and drew it entirely based on his own ideas. Anyway, it was whatever he felt like.
As for whether the lens can be realized, we have to wait until the painting is completed to discuss with Zhao Fei.
In fact, there is nothing that cannot be achieved, and there is no drama of flying into the sky and escaping from the earth. It is just a question of the budget.
Compared with those scenes in "Titanic", what he drew is child's play.
Of course, Zhou Yan's budget is not unlimited. If he really encounters a scene where the budget needs to be significantly increased, he will definitely have to make concessions.
