October 10th.

Zhou Jing packed his luggage, accompanied by Hu Li, and took a car to the railway station together, ready to leave for Pingyao, and temporarily bid farewell to Hengdian, where he had lived for half a year.

"When you get to the crew, you must tell me. Also, when you take the train on the road, you should also pay attention to your luggage, this is the food I bought for you, you can keep it for the ...... on the road."

Hu Li was like a chattering aunt, and she took the trouble to say something to Zhou Jing about paying attention to safety.

"I have memorized everything, you have to be good in Hengdian, don't do what happened last time, and honestly wait for me to come back." Zhou Jing took the good things and said with a smile.

"Okay, then I'll watch you go. Hu Li waved at him, "By the way, don't look back." ”

Zhou Jing, who had his back to Hu Li, shrugged helplessly, waved at her in the same way, and then entered the station with his luggage.

waited until Zhou Jing's figure completely disappeared from sight, and then Hu Li rubbed his somewhat moist eyes and left alone.

***

There is no direct train to Pingyao in Hengdian, Zhou Jing needs to go to Ninghang for transit, sit all the way to Longcheng, and after arriving in Longcheng, take two more buses to reach the crew of "Bright Sword".

Although it is a bit detoured, Zhou Jing still admires a crew like "Bright Sword" that fully respects historical facts and insists on on-site shooting, I don't know how many times better than those anti-Japanese dramas that were filmed directly in Hengdian.

It's not the first time that Zhou Jing has gone far away, but like this time, Zhou Jing was also confused, and finally arrived in Longcheng, but he missed the last train to Pingyao, so he could only stay in Longcheng for one night, and the next morning he made a bus at five o'clock and came to Pingyao.

After contacting a staff member of the crew, Zhou Jing soon came to the hotel where he was staying, a very ordinary small hotel.

"The crew has limited funds, and after a while, I have to go to Hebei for filming, so I don't stay here for a long time, and the accommodation conditions are a little difficult, so please bear some of them. The staff said apologetically.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm very satisfied with having a place to live. Zhou Jing hurriedly waved his hand and said, he had no special requirements for food and accommodation.

"Most of the crew is already preparing for filming outside, the Xie Baoqing you play, it is estimated that it will not be filmed until the 18th, if you are tired, take a rest first, if you want to go to the crew to see, you can also familiarize yourself with it in advance, but I don't have time to take you there now, so I can only go by myself. ”

After settling in, the staff continued.

Zhou Jing's purpose here is to study and film, after asking the location of the crew, Zhou Jing traveled lightly, asked several people along the way, and finally let him find the crew of "Bright Sword" at the south gate of the ancient city of Pingyao.

Before coming here, Zhou Jing deliberately checked the relevant information of the crew on the Internet, but it was not very useful, only found a few directors and starring information, the male lead actor Zhou Jing is very familiar with it, he is an old drama bone, but if the director says, Zhou Jing is really the first time I have heard of it, but looking at the introduction on the Internet, this Director Zhang is quite good at military films.

originally thought that the drama "Bright Sword" would be a big production, but after arriving at the filming site, Zhou Jing really understood what the staff meant by "limited funds".

At this time, what the crew is preparing to shoot should be the section where Li Yunlong led his troops to attack PA County, the props are old and simple, and the two "Italian cannons" look like old antiques, these Zhou Jing can understand, after all, it is an anti-Japanese war film, and it can be said.

What surprised Zhou Jing the most was that there were only two cameras in the entire shooting scene!

Generally, war scenes like this, especially the shots of artillery fire, in order to highlight the grandeur of the picture, four cameras are basically standard, and the more well-made crews will use more cameras.

When Lao Mei filmed "Pearl Harbor", in order to show the shock of the air raid scene, it took 12 cameras to complete the shooting.

But now, the entire crew turned out to have only two cameras!

Zhou Jing doesn't think that the level of the photographer has reached this level, and the only explanation is that the crew is very poor.

Such a crew, if it is put in Hengdian, can be said to be a big handful.

However, these are not what Zhou Jing needs to consider, anyway, his salary has already been negotiated, as long as he can learn anything valuable and get his salary on time, the rest of the things are a headache for the production team.

The entire filming site was in full swing, and no one noticed Zhou Jing's arrival.

"As for the camera crew, hurry up and adjust the camera position, and the shooting will start soon. ”

At this time, a voice was heard through the loudspeaker.

"Why hasn't anyone gone yet, that young man, you're from the camera crew, hurry up and help, hurry...... Don't look at it, it's you!"

Zhou Jing stood there dumbfounded, he didn't expect that he would be found like this. And it was none other than Director Zhang, the director of "Bright Sword", Zhou Jing had seen his photos.

Thinking about it, Zhou Jing was alone in the whole scene, and the director didn't look for him to find anyone.

Zhou Jing didn't dare to slack off, nodded to the director, and then ran quickly to another camera, some time ago when he followed the system to learn the camera, Zhou Jing also deliberately learned about the camera, and he still had a lot of experience in the control of the camera position of this war scene.

After quickly adjusting the camera position, and adjusting the lens and aperture at the same time, Zhou Jing was just about to run to another camera to help, but was stopped again.

"Stop, who told you to mess with the camera?" spoke in a stern voice.

"The director asked me to help. Looking at the middle-aged man in front of him, Zhou Jing felt speechless for a while, and it seemed that the other party should be the chief cameraman.

"You're not a camera crew, how could the director let you come, who are you?"

"What's the matter, Old Wu?" Just when Zhou Jing didn't know how to answer, Director Zhang happened to come over.

"Director Zhang is here, this person just dared to fiddle with the camera at will, and I caught him, and he actually said that you asked him to come. Lao Wu replied angrily.

In the entire crew, except for the director and himself who have the right to choose the camera position for shooting, Lao Wu feels that no one else is qualified to point fingers at the camera.

"What, isn't he from your photography crew?" This time it was Director Zhang's turn to be surprised.

"How can there be such a person in the photography team...... It's really Director Zhang who asked him to come over. ”

Lao Wu walked to the front of the camera curiously and took a serious look, the selection of the camera position, the adjustment of the lens and the aperture were all in place.

It's not like it's a mess.

"Have you studied photography?" Lao Wu looked Zhou Jing up and down and asked curiously.

"I'm sorry, I'm an actor with the group, I came here on the first day, I don't know ......" Zhou Jing hurriedly apologized, but he couldn't do something bad with good intentions and leave a bad impression on the director on the first day.

"What kind of character is it with the group actors? Director Zhang asked.

"Xie Baoqing. ”

Xie Baoqing ...... You're the one from Hengdian. Director Zhang finally had a little impression, "What, you still know photography?"

"I've taught myself a little bit, but I can't get on the table. ”

"Xie Baoqing's scene will take some time to be filmed, since you are here, let's do chores in the crew, at present, there are not enough people in the camera crew, so you will stay with Lao Wu and help Lao Wu schedule the shots, no problem, right?"

"No problem, of course no problem. Zhou Jing hurriedly shook his head.

This is a opportunity for the director to remember himself!
