Chapter 476: Crazy Again
After a few days of shooting, all the outdoor sports sessions were completed. The next thing to shoot was the scene in the outdoor goods store in the county, and the crew started again, and all of them moved to Ada County, which is more than 200 kilometers away by car.
Although the earthquake occurred in Wuyou County, and Zhan Youcheng's store was also in Wuyou County, this does not mean that the movie must be filmed in Wuyou County, not to mention that after the earthquake, Wuyou County has been rebuilt, and now the layout and style of the new city are very different from the original, which is not suitable for the filming of the scenes in the movie, so Ye Jiaying chose a small county town that is also more than 200 kilometers away from Wuyou County, which was affected by the earthquake but was not rebuilt, and its style is relatively similar to Wuyou County.
Not only the location, but the crew has also rented a store in Ada County for filming. When Ye Jiaying led people to shoot the exterior scenes of outdoor sports in Jiuzhaigou, she had already sent a group of people to Ada County to carry out preparations such as setting up the scenery in the early stage. When Ye Jiaying arrived with the filming team, she could already start filming directly.
Here, Xiao Yao also saw Zhan Youcheng again. According to Ye Jiaying's meaning, she originally wanted Zhan Youcheng, an outdoor sports expert, to go to Jiuzhaigou to guide the outdoor part of the location shooting, and help control the actions of some actors when they are doing outdoor sports. But Zhan Youcheng said that Xiao Yao had been trained, and with Xiao Yao here, he didn't have to check on the spot by himself in this regard, so he refused Ye Jiaying and came to Ada County to guide the props department to arrange the storefront and basement furnishings.
Although the preparations here in Ada County are ready and ready to be filmed immediately, Ye Jiaying took into account that the filming team had traveled more than 200 kilometers of mountain roads, so she still gave the crew a day off and let everyone rest for a day.
After a day of rest and relaxation, the crew entered the working state again and began the intense filming work.
The scenes in Ada County are all plots before the earthquake. There are realities and memories, except for the scene in which "Zhan Youcheng" and his girlfriend quarrel and break up in the plot is a little difficult, the other scenes are not very difficult, and the filming is relatively smooth.
In Ada County, the crew filmed for about a week, completed this part of the plot, and was ready to transfer again.
Next, the highlight of the whole movie is what happened in the basement after the earthquake. In this highlight, Ye Jiaying didn't plan to really shoot in a basement, but rented a studio in a film and television base and arranged it as a scene in the basement after the earthquake to shoot this section.
In order to save time, the set of this studio was also carried out in advance. When the partial shooting in Ada County was completed, the basement set on this side of the studio was ready for filming.
At this time, the crew had been filming for more than ten days, and then there was a long and more depressing scene. After transferring to a film and television base in Zhejiang Province, Ye Jiaying did not rush to start, but gave the crew two days off, mainly to let Xiao Yao take the opportunity to adjust his state.
Ye Jiaying wanted Xiao Yao to "adjust" his physical state, and it was best to take advantage of these two days to go back to Yanjing's home or Shencheng's residence to rest for two days, but Xiao Yao used these two days to "enter" the state and feel the role.
The "127 Hours" filmed by Ye Jiaying is still very different from the "127 Hours" in the previous life. In his previous life, Aaron Ruston was unable to move his arm under the weight of falling rocks in a remote canyon, and although he spent five days alone, he could at least look up at the sun during the day and the stars at night, and was not in a confined space.
And Zhan Youcheng was crushed in the basement, and a concrete stone crushed his thigh. Although the gaps between the ruins allow air to circulate, visually the basement he is in is an enclosed environment, and the psychological pressure he faces is greater than what Alan Ruston had experienced in the canyon in his previous life. This kind of psychological pressure is difficult to grasp just by imagination, Xiao Yao has never had a similar experience, so he decided to feel it first.
When Xiao Yao used to mingle with Zhan You every weekend, it was a kind of imitation and learning that was withdrawn from the state of the role, and this psychological feeling needs to be fully entered into the role to feel, and to be able to fully enter the role to feel this, the external environmental stimulation is also very important. In the past, without the stimulation of the external environment, Xiao Yao did not have the opportunity to experience and feel, but at this time, the basement set in the studio has been prepared, and Xiao Yao has a suitable external environment stimulation.
The crew is on vacation, and no one will go to this arranged studio for two days. Xiao Yao turned off his mobile phone, brought a little dry food and a bottle of water, ran to the studio with the basement set, closed the door and lights, and lay on the ground in the studio, recalling Zhan Youcheng's description in his mind, and drawing on the feelings of watching the movie "Buried Alive" in his previous life, and experiencing Zhan Youcheng's state of mind at that time.
Last year, the earthquake struck Wuyou County on the morning of August 20. At this time, it was already the beginning of July, and it was more than a month before the first anniversary of the earthquake in Wuyou County. At this time, Fang still received two invitations to commemorate the first anniversary of the earthquake in Wuyou County. Of course, the invitation to these two events was not to invite Fang Yi, but to invite Xiao Yao. Although he knew that Xiao Yao was filming during this time, Fang still did not refuse rashly, but called Xiao Yao to ask for his opinion to see if he accepted it.
Considering that Xiao Yao might be filming during the day, in order not to affect Xiao Yao's filming, Fang still deliberately called Xiao Yao at more than ten o'clock in the evening, but what she didn't expect was that Xiao Yao actually turned off the phone.
Xiao Yao's phone was turned off, and Fang Yi immediately made a phone call to Pei Minyi, a makeup artist and assistant who joined the group with Xiao Yao, to ask about Xiao Yao's situation.
The crew took two days off, but the hotel rooms that could be booked for everyone were not canceled. Some people went home to rest, while others stayed single and rested in the hotel. After staying in the crew for more than ten days, Pei Minyi also became friends with several makeup artists, costume artists, props masters and other behind-the-scenes staff in the crew. was on vacation by Xiao Yao, and she was singing K outside with several new friends in the crew at this time. After receiving a call from Fang Yi, and hearing that Xiao Yao's mobile phone was turned off, Pei Minyi also felt a little surprised, and after telling her friend, she rushed back to the hotel where the crew was staying to check Xiao Yao's room.
As Xiao Yao's personal assistant, Pei Minyi may come back to help Xiao Yao pick up things in some cases, so there is a spare room card for Xiao Yao's room. After knocking on the door for a while and no one answered, Pei Minyi opened Xiao Yao's room door with a spare room card, and found that Xiao Yao's computer, clothes, toiletries and other items were all well placed in the room, but no one was there.
After Ye Jiaying announced that she would give the crew a holiday, Xiao Yao also immediately gave Pei Minyi a holiday, only saying that she would let herself rest for the past two days and leave him alone, but he didn't say what he was going to do in the next two days. But no matter what Xiao Yao is going to do in the past two days, it shouldn't be the current situation.
has been Xiao Yao's personal assistant for so long, and Pei Minyi also has a certain understanding of Xiao Yao's habits. If he was going far away, it would be impossible for Xiao Yao not to bring his computer. If you go out to play nearby, Xiao Yao will definitely not turn off the phone, this is a film and television base, not barren mountains and mountains, and there is no problem of no signal.
Now that Han Siying's role is over, she has left the crew, and the back is basically Xiao Yao's one-man show, and there is no such thing as chatting with other actors about the script. Lin Qisan and Nina Aiyiguli stayed in the crew for more than ten days, and left after watching the scene where Xiao Yao and Han Siying quarreled and broke up. At this time, it is impossible for Xiao Yao to wander around outside alone.
At this moment, Pei Minyi was a little panicked. I called Xiao Yao, and after finding that it was really turned off, I hurriedly called Fang Yi back to explain the situation. remembered that Ye Jiaying had also stayed in the hotel for the past two days, so he went to Ye Jiaying to report again.
"I asked him to go back to Yanjing's house or Shencheng's residence to rest, did he go back to Yanjing or Shencheng? Now he is on the plane or sleeping, so the phone is turned off?" Hearing Pei Minyi hurriedly running in and saying that Xiao Yao was missing, Ye Jiaying, who was watching the shooting plan, was quite calm, and asked Pei Minyi with a smile.
"No!" Pei Minyi shook her head and said, "If he goes far away, he will definitely carry a computer with him." Last year, he traveled to Huanglong alone, and he only carried a bag, and he still had a computer. I went to his room and there was a computer on the table. ”
Hearing Pei Minyi say this, Ye Jiaying's expression became a lot more serious, obviously she also knew Xiao Yao's habit.
"Siying's role is finished, San'er and Nina also go back, Bayi shouldn't go out with other staff. Ye Jiaying frowned and said, "Even if he goes out to play with others, he shouldn't turn off the phone!" As she spoke, Ye Jiaying took out her mobile phone and called Xiao Yao, and found that it was indeed turned off. After putting down the phone, his brow furrowed even tighter.
"Don't worry too much about it. Bayi's skills are very good, generally three or five people can't beat him, and he is also alert, so there should be nothing wrong. After thinking about it, Ye Jiaying opened her mouth to comfort the anxious Pei Minyi in front of her and said, "Maybe it's a person who goes out to play and the phone is out of battery." Let's wait one night to see if he will come back tonight, and wait until tomorrow to see how it goes. ”
In terms of understanding and confidence in Xiao Yao, Ye Jiaying is still much stronger than Pei Minyi. After all, when Xiao Yao was eight years old, when he took a taxi to the modeling agency, he knew that he would send a text message to his parents to inform him of the license plate number and driver's name and work number of the taxi, and his vigilance and social experience were much beyond ordinary people, otherwise Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying would not dare to be so laissez-faire and basically ignore Xiao Yao over the years. Even experienced the hijacking case and the kidnapping case, who else could Xiao Yao be victimized? So although she was also worried, Ye Jiaying's performance was much calmer than Pei Minyi's.
"Okay, Director Ye, then I'll go back and rest first. I'll go to Xiao Yao's room early tomorrow morning. Seeing Ye Jiaying say this, Pei Minyi breathed a sigh of relief slightly. In fact, she is not so worried that Xiao Yao will have an accident, what she is most afraid of is that Ye Jiaying blames her, the personal assistant, for losing the star.
"Well, let's go!" Ye Jiaying nodded.
Although Xiao Yao is willful, he usually greets him in advance wherever he goes. Even if he lost contact on the morning of the earthquake last year, Fang still knew that he was traveling to Jiuzhaigou, and everyone could guess that he had no signal in the mountains. It is very rare to disappear so quietly this time. Therefore, after seeing Pei Minyi leave, Ye Jiaying picked up the shooting plan in her hand again, but found that she couldn't see it at all. The distraught Ye Jiaying called the front desk and asked the waiter to come over and help her open the door of Xiao Yao's room, and also went to Xiao Yao's room.
After Ye Jiaying entered Xiao Yao's room, she turned around first, and found that Xiao Yao's laptop was really on the table in the bedroom, the suitcase was in the cupboard, and the personal toiletries were also in the bathroom, so she sat on the sofa in the living room of the suite with the shooting plan, planning to wait for Xiao Yao to come back while watching here. In this way, after Xiao Yao came back, she could know for the first time. And whether the phone is out of battery or deliberately turned off, this is Xiao Yao's mistake, and she can also train Xiao Yao as soon as possible!
In the end, Ye Jiaying fell asleep on the sofa in the living room of Xiao Yao's room with the shooting plan. The next morning, Ye Jiaying was still awakened by the movement of Pei Minyi opening the door with a spare room card.
"Director Ye, why are you here?" Seeing Ye Jiaying on the sofa in the living room, Pei Minyi was also taken aback.
"I was waiting here last night for Bayi, but I didn't expect to accidentally fall asleep. Ye Jiaying looked up, sobered up for a moment, and said to Pei Minyi, "Look like this, Bayi didn't come back all night." ”
Although he hadn't gotten up to check the bedroom yet, if Xiao Yao had come back last night, it would have been impossible not to see Ye Jiaying, who was asleep on the sofa. Even if Xiao Yao couldn't bear to wake up Ye Jiaying, he would at least take something to cover Ye Jiaying, and wouldn't let her sleep on the sofa for a night without covering anything. Therefore, Ye Jiaying judged that Xiao Yao did not come back last night without going to the bedroom to see it.
Pei Minyi went to Xiao Yao's bedroom to take a look, and found that the bed was indeed a trace of no one sleeping, it was impossible that she had missed the exercise in the morning, so she could only go back to the living room and ask Ye Jiaying: "Director Ye, what should we do?"
"I can't call the police in this situation, I can only tell the crew to stay here, and ask everyone to help find it nearby. Pay attention to let everyone look for it quietly, and don't let the media know. Ye Jiaying stood up as she spoke.
Strictly speaking, they couldn't contact Xiao Yao for less than 24 hours, Xiao Yao is an adult, and there is no indication that his personal safety is threatened.
Since it is certain that Xiao Yao has not gone far, he is active in this vicinity. After the people in the crew got Ye Jiaying's notice, they could only look for it in the film and television base and its surrounding areas. There are two other crews filming in the entire film and television base, Ye Jiaying suspects that Xiao Yao ran to other people's crews to play cameos on a whim, forgot to film, and specially took people to the two crews to ask, while others mainly searched and inquired in the leisure and entertainment places around the film and television base.
In the afternoon, Fang still arrived and joined the search for Xiao Yao. But even if Fang is added, this manpower is still used, and after looking for it in such a day, the result is still nothing. During this day, Ye Jiaying, Fang Yi and Pei Minyi all called Xiao Yao several times, but the phone was still turned off.
That night, Fang still accompanied Ye Jiaying to sleep on the sofa in Xiao Yao's room all night, but when he woke up, there was still no sign of Xiao Yao's return, and Xiao Yao was still nowhere to be seen.
On the third day, the crew's two-day vacation was over. The crew members who went home on vacation or left to do personal business have all returned.
"Director Ye, will Xiao Yao come back today? Will we still shoot today?" a staff member asked Ye Jiaying cautiously, "Over there in the studio, the scenery has been set up, but the lights, cameras and other equipment have not been installed yet." ”
"Over at the studio?" Ye Jiaying had a flash of inspiration in her mind, patted her forehead and said, "Why didn't I think that I haven't looked for that place yet!"
"Squeak~" The door of the studio was opened, and the sun shone in. The crew who followed Ye Jiaying in saw a person curled up on the floor of the studio, with a bottle of water, a flashlight and a food packaging bag beside him.
"Xiao Yao!" Ye Jiaying recognized at a glance that the person lying on the ground was Xiao Yao, first breathed a sigh of relief, and then immediately shouted angrily.
"Ye Dao!" The man on the ground raised his head and looked over, stretched out his hand to cover his eyes, and only replied after adapting to the light.
"You've been hiding here for the past two days?" Ye Jiaying walked over, squatted in front of Xiao Yao and asked, "Also, why is your phone turned off?
"It's been two days, but I'm not hiding, I'm here to experience the role. Xiao Yao smiled, "It's not that the phone is out of battery, it's that I'm turned off." I want to feel the character's heart, feel what it's like to be in this dark and closed environment, I don't want to be disturbed, of course I have to turn off the phone!" Xiao Yao said as a matter of course.
"Experience the role?" The rest of the crew who came in after Ye Jiaying all showed shocked expressions when they heard Xiao Yao's words.
They are all practitioners in the film and television industry, and they have all read the script of this movie, so they naturally know what Xiao Yao meant. It's one thing to know, it's another thing to see a twenty-year-old actor acting in a movie for the first time and lock himself up in this dark and confined environment for two whole days in order to experience the role. And there is not even a bed in this place, Xiao Yao obviously has been lying on the ground for two days. How could they not be shocked to see such a sight?
"You little drama maniac, you're crazy here again!Hurry up!" Ye Jiaying naturally understood Xiao Yao's intentions, feeling both relieved and distressed in her heart, and reached out to help Xiao Yao in disgust.
