Chapter 62: To Cypress Village

"Okay, since Ning Yuan also said so, then we won't go. Zhou's mother said, "Xiaoyuan, Linlang is in the crew, so I will trouble you and Director Ning to take care of it more." Linlang, this kid can't do a lot of things well, it's really worrying. ”

"Don't worry, Auntie, I will take care of Zhou Linlang more. Ning Yuan hurriedly said, "I still have to give her a make-up class, and I must not let her homework fall behind others." ”

"Yes, yes, acting is important, homework is more important. Ning Yuan said this, Zhou's mother was in her heart, the more she looked at Ning Yuan now, the more satisfied she became, and she couldn't wait to be her son.

Zhou Linlang looked at the "mother and son" over there, and couldn't help but roll her eyes. It is always so easy for these two to reach a united front, especially on the road of "pit yourself". Forget it, forget it, Miss Ben is broad-minded, so she won't have to deal with these people who "want to harm" themselves if they have nothing to do.

On the same day, Zhou Linlang packed up his things and moved to the hotel rented by the crew. Living with her is Wang Yueyue, the assistant arranged by Ning Yukun, on the twenty-fifth of this year, Zhou Linlang called her "Sister Yue" and asked her to call her name, and the two got along quite happily.

Ning Yuan and Zhou Linlang both came, and Ning Yukun's evening "reading club" officially began. Of course, there are more than three members of the "reading club", and there are also famous actors in the crew, who confirm each other and deepen their understanding of the role.

Ning Yukun is ready to shoot in chronological order of the script as much as possible, so that it is easier for Ning Yuan and Zhou Linlang to bring into the plot, and a deeper understanding while filming can also allow the two to have a deeper understanding of the emotions of the protagonists in the play, so that it will come naturally. This is also because Zhou Linlang and Ning Yuan are young and worried that they don't have a good understanding of the script, so they have to make compromises.

The first scene was filmed with educated youths going to the countryside. The part of the group scene has been filmed, and only Ning Yuan and Zhou Linlang are left with a single shot. Change into the right outfit, stand in front of the camera, and the scene will pass quickly.

Choose this scene to start, first, this scene is not difficult, it can be completed in one go, and it will be auspicious. The second is also to let Ning Yuan and Zhou Linlang have more to bring in, giving them more confidence. After all, the two are still young, and they are not as good as the old actors who can empathize with the characters at once, so bringing in the law is the best way that Ning Yukun can think of. Next, Ning Yukun also asked Ning Yuan and Zhou Linlang to wear costumes in the crew, and call each other each other's names in the play: Pu Hai and Liu Yueying, so that they can fully integrate into the plot and not play.

The filming of the crew in the early stage was very smooth, but some problems were quickly adjusted, and the scenes of Zhou Linlang and Ning Yuan progressed very quickly. This made the crew who originally thought that they were "going through the back door" couldn't help but look at them with admiration. understands that these two people can get the protagonist, not because they have a relationship with Director Ning, but because the other party really has strength. recognized Zhou Linlang and Ning Yuan's acting skills, and the crew's respect for them was more sincere, and their words were a little more sincere, which made Zhou Linlang and Ning Yuan sigh in private, this person's heart is still strong, and they are more determined to make a good movie.

In addition to completing the work of the crew, the rest of the time the two spent studying together. During the day, when they were not acting, the two found a quiet place to brush up on the questions; at night, when there was no night play and no "reading club", they went to Ning Yuan's room, and Ning Yuan tutored Zhou Linlang for homework.

At the beginning, seeing Zhou Linlang and Ning Yuan all day long, inseparable, the eyes of the adults with dirty hearts were all kinds of ambiguity, so I almost told Director Ning Yukun directly, your nephew is in early love. There are a lot of rumors in the crew, and Zhou Linlang and Ning Yuan don't bother to explain. Later, someone overheard the content of the conversation between the two, saw the test papers and books in the hands of the two, and secretly scolded in his heart "lying on a big grass". It's a relationship, it's homework. Thinking of the identities of the two of them as juniors, the crew passed on the two of them and became "diligent children", and they never said anything like early love.

"The early stage of the film and television city has ended, and we will go to Dongshui Town to shoot next. Let's rest early today and leave early tomorrow morning. The conditions on the other side of Dongshui Town are not as good as here, so everyone will overcome them and work hard after they arrive. Ning Yukun announced.

"Okay, Director!"

The crew packed up and went to Dongshui Town in large bags.

Dongshui Town is not far from Wuxi Film and Television City, but the conditions are very different from those of Film and Television City. Ning Yukun's chosen filming location was not in the town, but in the most remote village in the town, Cypress Village, which is close to the mountains. There are no people in the village, and those who have the ability have moved to the town or the big city, and the villagers who are not able to do so still live in the village. In the village, farming does not make money, young people go out to work, and the rest are old people and children. The youngest laborer in the village is the village chief, who is also fifty-eight years old.

The road leading to the outside of the village is a mud road, which has not been repaired, and it is full of potholes, and the people are dizzy. Many of the houses in the village are old, stone, mud, and even some older ones that look crumbling and very old. In the village, there are radio stations, loudspeakers and other things left over from the special era in the past, and some houses still have slogans written on the walls of the houses, although they are mottled, you can still see the traces of the past, and they can be used for repairing. These things are completely in line with the requirements of Ning Yukun's movie, which is why he chose this place after watching more than 100 villages.

Knowing that there is a big director in the village to film, take money for nothing, maybe you can promote the village, and the village chief is very happy. patted his chest and said that everything in the village can be used by the crew, and the crew can change it as much as they want, and the whole village supports the crew's work. On the day the crew arrived, the village chief also turned on the village loudspeaker to play the welcome song, and organized the villagers to welcome the crew at the entrance of the village.

The mayor of Dongshui Town and the crew came to Cypress Village together, and explained a few words to the village chief very officially, and showed the town's support for the crew, and left in a hurry without dinner. Mainly because this place is notoriously poor, there is probably nothing to eat at night, and Cypress Village is too far away from the town, so it is too late to go back after eating in winter. The bumps along the way almost broke the mayor's bones, and it was really unsafe to smear it again, although the mayor wanted to show his face in front of the big director, but he didn't want to joke with his own life.

Sincerely, if it weren't for Ning Yukun being a big director and White Elephant Entertainment Company being a big company, the mayor really wouldn't want to come here. In recent years, the country's economic development has been full of asphalt roads, but only Cypress Village is still a dirt road. It's not that the mayor of the town favors one over the other, the main reason is that there are too few people in Cypress Village, and they are alone here, so building roads is completely wasteful. The town originally considered letting the people of Cypress Village move out, but unfortunately the old people in the village have not agreed, and all kinds of commotions have dragged on until now. But now that a crew is here, maybe Cypress Village will be able to take advantage of the crew's wind to set up tourism in the future, and whether the village will move or not depends on the follow-up.

Seeing off the mayor who was bent on seeking the economic development of the town, Ning Yukun chatted with the village chief.

Someone from the crew had already come to the village first and did preliminary work, such as accommodation, such as eating. The situation in this village is like this, the only few small buildings that can be seen have been rented by the crew, and a few better earthen houses have been rented, all of which are used as dormitories for the crew. Because the room is not enough, three people are arranged in one room. However, it is winter now, and there is no air conditioning here, so the crew can only buy more quilts and electric blankets. Sleeping in a double bed for three people is a bit cramped, but it's also warmer. When eating in the village, there is definitely no box lunch takeout or anything like that, so you can only make it yourself. The crew found a few aunts who cooked well to cook for the crew, the dishes were bought in the village, and the meat could only be bought in the town every few days, and the taste was very ordinary, but fortunately, these things were pure natural and pollution-free - everyone could only comfort themselves like this.

After eating, everyone went back to their rooms to rest after a tired day. After a bumpy day today, Zhou Linlang and Ning Yuan didn't have the heart to study, so they went to bed early. Others could sleep, but Ning Yukun couldn't rest immediately.

"Xiao Dong, are Miffy and Li Jing sure to come tomorrow?" Ning Yukun asked.

Miffy plays the daughter of the village chief in the play, the second female in the movie. Li Jing plays a progressive young man in the village, likes the heroine, hates the male protagonist, is the nephew of the village chief, and has a lot of appearances, a proper male number two. Both of them are second-tier Xiaohua students, Li Jing is an artist of White Elephant Entertainment, and Wu Baiyong is there, Ning Yukun is not worried about this person being a demon. Miffy is an artist of Black Tiger Entertainment, she can get this role, first, the female artist of White Elephant Entertainment Company is not angry, and second, Miffy's acting skills are passable, and she is favored by Ning Yukun.

Although Ning Yukun has just returned to China, he has also heard about the bad habits of many artists in China, and he doesn't want any problems in tomorrow's shooting. That's why he wanted to ask in advance.

"I have already contacted just now, Li Jing's plane will go to Wu County tonight, and he will go to the village tomorrow morning. Miffy's plane will arrive in Wu County tomorrow morning, and her agent said that she couldn't find a place and hoped that the crew would send someone to pick it up. Xiao Dong said.

"Then you can arrange for someone to pick it up tomorrow. People come early to shoot early, our time is in a hurry, and we can't wait. Ning Yukun said solemnly, "You must confirm the person, and there must be nothing that you don't come or be late." ”

"Okay. ”

......

Wu County Airport, 8 p.m. Li Jing and his entourage just got off the plane, and they didn't delay, and went directly to the nearest hotel to the airport. Because Ning Yukun's crew asked for secrecy, Li Jing and his party were very low-key.

After eating, Li Jing went back to the room for maintenance, and as soon as he put on the mask, his agent Brother Zhang pushed the door in. Also coming in were Li Jing's assistant Xiao Wang and stylist Xiao Zhao.

"Brother Zhang, is there something wrong?" asked Li Jing while lying on the bed. He was wearing a mask and couldn't move, so he motioned to the three of them to sit casually with his eyes.
