Chapter 773: Scene Selection

Since he is an actor, it involves the issue of schedule. Although the casting studio is still waiting for Xiao Yao to finalize the specific time in order to notify the actors to audition, when contacting the other party in the early stage, Xiao Yao gave an approximate audition time so that those actors can arrange time to audition.

Because I don't know what the process and result of going to Hong Kong Island to invite Lin Jingliang were, Xiao Yao gave the approximate audition time within a week. If he went to the northwest of Jin to select the scene, Xiao Yao felt that a week might not be enough, so the time of this audition had to be changed.

Xiao Yao is a person who does what he says. After deciding to go to the selection first, Xiao Yao immediately notified the casting studio to change the audition time. This time, Xiao Yao did not set a frame on himself again, only said that he would come back to audition after selecting the scene, and did not estimate the time of the audition.

After the casting studio notified him, Xiao Yao was ready to set off with Lin Jingliang to select the scenery in the northwest of Shanxi.

First, identify the members of the location selection team.

Director Xiao Yao and art director Lin Jingliang are definitely going. Pei Minyi has completed the performance styling and costumes of the 101 girl group and returned from Hangzhou. The opportunity to travel and learn with an aesthetic master like Lin Jingliang, Pei Minyi will definitely not miss it. Lin Jingliang wanted to bring an assistant, and Xiao Yao was also ready to bring Pei Minyi with him.

The production company of this movie is Xiao Yao's own company, and the producer and producer are Xiao Yao. Xiao Yao himself is the investor, and he is the only investor, so Xiao Yao can make a decision in terms of budget. However, once the filming location is decided, it is inevitable to negotiate and communicate with the local authorities or locals about the filming. Xiao Yao didn't plan to come forward in person for this kind of thing, so he also deliberately pulled Fang Yi and the two employees in the film and television company.

Then, it's time to choose the location you want to investigate. Xiao Yao's vision of the filming location should be a remote area with high altitude, drought and little rainfall, and the scope of the selected filming location is the northwest region of Shanxi, but the scope of the northwest region of Shanxi is also very large, and it is still necessary to select several specific target locations.

Xiao Yao felt that the location in the movie "Donkey Gets Water" in his previous life looked very good, and it should be a very good choice for his film to be filmed in the same place. Xiao Yao remembered that in his previous life, he read a report on the Internet that the filming location of the movie "Donkey Gets Water" was in a place near the Qingshui River area of Inner Mongolia under Shuozhou City, Jin Province, and the specific place was not clear, so Xiao Yao was going to look for a place in Shuozhou City adjacent to the Qingshui River area of Inner Mongolia.

You must have to drive your own car to find the filming location, but Shencheng is located in the southeast, and the filming location is far away in the northwest, Xiao Yao does not plan to drive all the way from Shencheng to the northwest, so he must take a plane first, and then rent a car at the airport or charter a car locally.

The target city of Shuozhou is located in the northwest of Shanxi Province, but there is no civil airport in Shuozhou City at present, and there are not many cities with airports in the entire Shanxi Province. If it is adjacent to the Qingshuihe area of Inner Mongolia, it is closer to the airport in Inner Mongolia, so the group took a plane from Shencheng and the destination was not Jin Province, but Hoh, Inner Mongolia.

After arriving in Hoh, Xiao Yao, who led the team, did not make any stops, and a group of seven people rented two cars, drove all the way south, and went directly to Qingshuihe County in Inner Mongolia.

Hohwa is more than 120 kilometers away from Qingshuihe County, and the group drove for more than two hours to arrive. After arriving in Qingshuihe County, Xiao Yao found a hotel that looked pretty good, and announced that he would rest today and set off to the countryside tomorrow to choose the scenery.

Inner Mongolia is a great place, and many of these people are first-time visitors. Hearing that Xiao Yao announced that he would rest and set off tomorrow to select the scene, everyone was very happy. Although there is no grassland to be seen in the county, after all, it is a place of ethnic minorities, and everyone is excited to go out to experience the exotic customs of this small county town in an ethnic minority area.

Xiao Yao also came to Qingshuihe County for the first time, but he didn't go out to hang out and feel the exotic customs, because he still had a task on him.

With the information in the memory of his previous life, Xiao Yao was able to walk to the closest place to the filming location of the movie in his previous life. Further down, Xiao Yao was a little blind, so he had to find a guide in the county town who was familiar with the surrounding area and take them out tomorrow.

Looking for a guide, Xiao Yao can of course leave it to Fang Yi or Pei Minyi or someone brought by the company to do. However, this place was brought by Xiao Yao, everyone is not familiar with life here, these people do not necessarily have an advantage over themselves, and this matter is still very important, so Xiao Yao still plans to come by himself.

In addition, in addition to being a director and producer, Xiao Yao also has to play the role of a coppersmith in the movie. Some of the problems that need to be solved to play this role, Xiao Yao also wants to take this opportunity to solve them together.

The biggest difference between the role of coppersmith and Xiao Yao himself is the problem of skin color, which Xiao Yao can solve through some technical means such as tanning and makeup before the film starts, in addition, Xiao Yao also needs to face a problem of language. The role of the coppersmith is Mongolian, and he also sings a Mongolian song in the film. Although Xiao Yaohui has many languages, it does not include Mongolian at present.

Xiao Yao originally wanted to ask Hong Wei to help solve this problem.

Hong Wei was born in a Tibetan area and is a Tibetan and an ethnic minority. As an ethnic minority, she has also been committed to promoting the music of ethnic minorities. And she not only likes and often performs the music of ethnic minorities, but also often promotes and helps young singers of ethnic minorities. The Tibetan singer who helped Jiang Kailin sing harmony when Xiao Yao helped Jiang Kailin prepare to perform "A Diao" on "Singer" was introduced by Hong Wei.

Hong Wei is Tibetan, but she knows and comes into contact with more than just Tibetan music and Tibetan singers. She once sang Mongolian songs on the stage of "Singer", she knows Mongolian, and she also knows some Mongolian singers. Xiao Yao wanted to learn Mongolian language and Mongolian songs, and the first thing that came to mind was Hong Wei.

But since he has come to Inner Mongolia this time, Xiao Yao wants to take this opportunity to solve the problem of this language as well. Therefore, the guide Xiao Yao wants to find is someone who needs to be familiar with some areas of Jin Province including the surrounding provinces, and can take them to see the scenery and select the scenery, it is best to know Mongolian and teach Xiao Yao a suitable traditional Mongolian song.

Of course, if this person happens to be a coppersmith, or can do the work of a coppersmith, and can teach Xiao Yao some coppersmith skills, it would be the best. However, the coppersmith in the movie is more of a title or name, and there are not many places to really do the coppersmith work, that is, to fiddle with and repair the clock in the school, as long as the action of holding the tool is not a layman. With the skills he learned when he learned to make hand-made discs from others, Xiao Yao felt that he should be enough in this aspect, so he could learn this coppersmith job or not.

Coming to such a strange place, Xiao Yao was almost blinded, and he didn't know where to find a guide. However, he did not know the locals, but he could get to know the locals. He often travels, and he knows that people like hotel owners are generally well-informed people who are familiar with the local situation.

The hotel where Xiao Yao and his party stayed was not big, and Xiao Yao could see at a glance that the person who came out of the front desk to receive them to check in was the owner of the hotel.

If you just ask where to eat or where there is fun, as a guest, as long as you ask casually, the boss will enthusiastically point you out. But if they want the boss to introduce them or even contact a reliable guide who can take them out and run around, Xiao Yao has to put a little more effort into communicating with others.

The innkeeper was a middle-aged man with dark complexions, yellowed nails and teeth, and a cigarette and ashtray on the table at the reception desk that looked like an old smoking gun. When everyone else went out to hang out in the county, Xiao Yao bought a pack of cigarettes in the small shop downstairs of the hotel, handed one to the boss, and chatted with the boss.

The innkeeper speaks standard Chinese, but he is not very fluent and looks like a member of an ethnic minority. Xiao Yao doesn't think that the so-called simple statement of ethnic minorities applies to everyone, but judging from the performance of the hotel owner, Xiao Yao feels that it is still more reliable.

Hearing Xiao Yao say that he was a film director and wanted to find a suitable place nearby as a filming location to shoot a movie, the hotel owner's face was full of disbelief and immediately wrote it on his face, saying that Xiao Yao was joking and making fun of him.

Looking at the hotel owner who obviously didn't know him, Xiao Yao once again felt a little sad about his fame and popularity.

Since the hotel owner didn't believe it, Xiao Yao didn't plan to tell others who he was. The hotel owner doesn't believe in himself, it's nothing more than seeing that he is too young and doesn't look like a director. I am young, but there are still people in their group who are not young.

Lin Jingliang had been to Inner Mongolia before. On the way from Hohhot to Qingshuihe County, Lin Jingliang, who was in the same car with Xiao Yao, looked at the scenery along the way with great interest, but after entering the county seat, Lin Jingliang's enthusiasm obviously dissipated a lot. The others went out for a stroll, but Lin Jingliang didn't go out, and stayed in the room thinking about the art plan in the movie.

Xiao Yao saw that the hotel owner didn't believe that he was a film director, so he changed his words and said that he was the director's assistant and helped the director work, so he said that he was the director for convenience and face. then went upstairs and pulled Lin Jingliang down, saying that Lin Jingliang was the director, and asked Lin Jingliang to confirm his statement.

When he went upstairs to find Lin Jingliang, Xiao Yao explained the situation to Lin Jingliang. After going downstairs to see the hotel owner, Lin Jingliang also handed the hotel owner a cigarette with a smile, saying that he was the director, and the task he gave to Xiao Yao was to find a guide to take them to see the nearby environment and choose the scene for the filming. I am a director, and I have a lot of things to do, so I leave this kind of trivial work to the young people, and ask the hotel owner to help. As long as it is what Xiao Yao promised, he will definitely fulfill it. After that, he said goodbye to the innkeeper and went back to the upstairs room to think about the art plan.

Lin Jingliang's age, style, and his accent with some Hong Kong Pu make him look like a director in the eyes of the hotel owner. After listening to what Lin Jingliang said, the hotel owner believed Xiao Yao's words. As for the guide who is familiar with the neighborhood, the innkeeper really knows that there are suitable locals who can take on the role.

The owner of the hotel is also a happy person, and after agreeing to help, he immediately contacted two Mongolian-speaking locals to meet and communicate with Xiao Yao.

The two arrived quickly, and Xiao Yao chatted with the two in the lobby of the hotel. After telling the two of them about the requirements of their filming location, listening to their introduction to the places that might be suitable, and listening to them say some introductions to the surrounding area, Xiao Yao chose a young man who looked very strong, and agreed with him to be a guide tomorrow to take them out to find the filming location, and agreed on a time to leave tomorrow.

The price was negotiated on the spot, and Xiao Yao also paid 20% in advance as a deposit. In this kind of thing, Xiao Yao doesn't care too much about being stabbed by the locals, after all, this journey is estimated to not be too easy, and people should make some hard-earned money.

Xiao Yao is more concerned about safety, which is one of the reasons why Xiao Yao chose to find the hotel owner to introduce the guide. After all, there is a store here, and if something happens, even if you can't find a guide when you turn around, the hotel owner won't be able to escape. The security problems that may be encountered, the worst situation that Xiao Yao imagines is to be taken to a remote place to rob. He has a group of two cars, seven people, five men and two women, and his force value and on-the-spot reaction are definitely to deal with the average bad guy, plus an introducer with real estate, Xiao Yao feels that it should be enough.

After finishing the guide's affairs, Xiao Yao went upstairs to see Lin Jingliang again. found that he was still thinking about the film art plan, and had no intention of going out, so Xiao Yao went out for a stroll by himself.

I scattered everyone out to play, and I didn't eat dinner together. However, this time I came out to do something, and the place was relatively unfamiliar, and everyone didn't play very late, so they all returned to the hotel early to rest and recharge for tomorrow.

Early the next morning, the Mongolian young man named Alatan that Xiao Yao had promised yesterday came to the hotel on time to meet Xiao Yao and the others. Xiao Yao introduced Alatan to everyone, and a group of people got in the car and set off.

Qingshuihe County is a county seat adjacent to Jin Province, from the map, most of the east and south of the county seat are basically pressing the provincial line, and these two directions out of Qingshuihe County basically enter the boundary of Jin Province. Xiao Yao remembered that the filming location in his previous life belonged to Shuozhou City, Jin Province, so he asked Alatan to take them all the way to the east, and the places that belonged to the boundary of Qingshuihe County were not seen, but walked all the way along the towns and villages near the provincial line in the east.

The group went east out of Qingshuihe County, and after entering the boundary of Jin Province, Alatan felt that the environment in several villages in Gaoshizhuang Township in the north might be more suitable, so he ordered everyone to turn to the north.

Inner Mongolia and Jin Province are both northwest regions, and the border between the two provinces is mountainous, and the roads in the countryside below are not very easy to walk. But fortunately, Xiao Yao and the others' two cars were good, and after entering the township, Alatan took everyone to see from village to village, and everyone stopped and looked, and it didn't feel too uncomfortable.

In one day, Alatan took everyone to five or six villages, looked at seven or eight places, and found nothing that made Xiao Yao and Lin Jingliang particularly satisfied. However, Xiao Yao and Lin Jingliang didn't expect to find their favorite filming location on the first day of their release, their mentality was not bad, and Xiao Yao even had the heart to learn some Mongolian from Alatan.

In the evening, everyone saw that it was almost dark, and then set off for Qingshuihe County, preparing to continue tomorrow.
