Chapter 791: Did You Give Money?

It's early August, which is the hottest time of the year. However, Dahebao Village, where the movie "Donkey Gets Water" was filmed, is located at the junction of northwest Shanxi and Inner Mongolia, and the highest temperature in August last year was less than 30 degrees Celsius on average, and the highest temperature in August was only 32 degrees Celsius, which was much cooler than cities such as Yanjing and Shencheng. Although the living conditions here are poor, the climate and natural environment are still very good in this season.

At present, the main work of the filming location is to build a house, and the second is to buy and make some furniture and decorations that the props team said they needed when they set up according to the requirements of art director Lin Jingliang.

Xiao Yao is the director, and he, like Lin Jingliang, the art director, does not need to do the work himself, they only need to grasp the progress of various tasks and ensure that the house under construction and various props meet the requirements of shooting.

But after Xiao Yao came here, in addition to going to the construction site of the filming location with Lin Jingliang every day to check the progress, he would also discuss the aesthetic plan of the film shooting with Lin Jingliang, and formulate the shooting plan after the start of the film in the future. Sometimes when I am interested, I will work with the props team to make the furniture I need, paint the furniture, paint the beams and columns, and show my carpentry skills and painting skills. In his spare time, Xiao Yao will also find locals to learn Mongolian and the dialect of Jin Province, and his life is quite full and comfortable.

As the days passed, the house as the main scene was built, the interior furniture and decorations were also done, and the day of start-up was getting closer and closer.

When Xiao Yao finally received the news that Sun Tingting had ended teaching, he quickly determined the date for the crew to start filming, and notified all the actors and crew members to assemble at the filming location.

Originally, Xiao Yao planned to go back to Yanjing and personally pick up Sun Tingting to the filming location. However, because Sun Tingting's teaching place is in the northwest of Shanxi, Xiao Yao's plan to start the film in advance made her have to give up her plan to go home and analyze the role with her parents.

Dahebao Village is not easy to find, and some of the surrounding towns and villages do not have suitable places to settle the entire crew. The closest county seat to Dahebao Village is Qingshuihe County in Inner Mongolia, and Xiao Yao put the entire crew in Qingshuihe County.

Compared with Dahebao Village, Qingshuihe County is much easier to find. Xiao Yao saw Sun Tingting again after two months, in the hotel that the crew had chartered in Qingshuihe County.

"How did you become darker than me?" Seeing Xiao Yao for the first time, Sun Tingting looked at Xiao Yao with some surprise and asked.

Since the character of Zhang Yiman in the script is not a local, but a beautiful woman with her own romantic dreams, Sun Tingting, who went to teach, also paid attention to this problem, and she has not darkened much in the past two months, and the change in skin roughness is limited, but she looks a little haggard. On the contrary, Xiao Yao has been here for more than 20 days, running outdoors every day, and the whole thing has darkened a lot, and his skin has become a lot rougher.

"You play Zhang Yiman, I play the little coppersmith, isn't it normal for me to be darker than you?" Xiao Yao smiled, "I'm out of the sun these days, won't it get darker?"

"So you did it on purpose?" Sun Tingting looked at Xiao Yao and said, "To show that you are more serious than me?"

"No!" Xiao Yao said, "You went to teach for two months for the role, and I also went to write songs and choreographs for others during these two months, watch people rehearse, and go to concerts, where are you serious?"

"Don't talk about this!" Xiao Yao rubbed his hands and said with a smile, "I haven't seen each other for two months, shouldn't we be now?"

"You have to start the film early, so my plan to study the character with my parents is in vain," Sun Tingting took out the script from her bag and said with a serious face, "You should help me study this character now!"

"The people haven't arrived yet, and the crew hasn't started up yet, so why do you need to be in such a hurry?" Xiao Yao said with a bitter face.

After determining the actors, Xiao Yao just gave the actors an approximate start time. The specific start-up time is set according to the time when Sun Tingting ends her teaching, Xiao Yao gave a temporary notice, and others can't leave immediately, so Xiao Yao's start-up time is also delayed for a few days according to everyone's situation. At this time, Sun Tingting was the first main actor to arrive, and the other actors will not arrive one after another in the next few days.

"It's because the actors haven't arrived yet, and the crew hasn't started yet, so we have to hurry up!" Sun Tingting said, "After a few days when the actors arrive and the crew starts, I'm embarrassed to occupy you alone to talk to me!"

"You did it on purpose, right?" Xiao Yao snatched the script from Sun Tingting's hand and threw it aside, "Whether you dominate or I dominate you, no one can have an opinion!" As he spoke, Xiao Yao pounced.

"Don't!" Sun Tingting finally smiled and blocked Xiao Yao, "I just arrived, and I haven't even taken a shower!"

"That's right, let's wash together!" Xiao Yao picked up Sun Tingting's leg crook, picked her up, and walked to the bathroom.

Although it was a reunion after a long absence, Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting were still relatively restrained. Sun Tingting arrived in the afternoon, and the two only stayed warm for two hours. When it was time for dinner, Xiao Yao also took Sun Tingting to meet Lin Jingliang, who came back from the filming location.

is about to start, all the preparations in the crew are almost done, and Xiao Yao doesn't have to run to the filming location every day to stare at it. In the next few days, while waiting for the other actors in the crew to gather, Xiao Yao also fulfilled his duties, and studied the role she wanted to play with Sun Tingting holding the script.

A few days later, all the cast and crew arrived, and the crew officially started.

When the crew starts up, they all have to carry out a start-up ceremony. It's just that Xiao Yao doesn't like to do publicity during the filming stage, so the media reporters were not notified of the opening ceremony, and basically all the crew members were there. Since there were no media reporters, everyone was relatively open, and the whole ceremony was also very lively.

I don't know if the crew's start-up ceremony was too lively, and it suddenly rained on the day when the weather forecast was not raining. However, this sudden rain did not extinguish everyone's enthusiasm, because according to the old people in the crew, Chinese people pay attention to "when they encounter water, they will send it", and the rain on the day of the start-up ceremony indicates that this film will be a big hit. Saying this, everyone was even more excited.

After the start-up ceremony, the crew officially started.

The shooting plan was made by Xiao Yao before, and all the preparations were done relatively well. Although Xiao Yao encountered some problems in the early preparation and changed the start-up time, Xiao Yao is still relatively confident in the filming progress of this movie. It's just that what everyone didn't expect was that on the second day of start-up, the crew ran into trouble.

The start-up ceremony had a more complicated prayer process, and then it rained again, and the crew just took a few symbolic shots and called it a day. The real shooting state should be counted from the next day.

Since there is no suitable township nearby for the crew to be stationed, most of the crew members live in Qingshuihe County. From Qingshuihe County to Dahebao Village, it takes more than an hour to drive. Although everyone got up early in the morning the day after the start of filming and set off early to come to the filming location, when they came to the filming location to set up the machine and prepare to start filming, it was already more than 9 o'clock in the morning, and it was not early.

The order of filming does not have to be strictly in the order of the script, but in order to keep the actors' emotional development and roles as consistent as possible, Xiao Yao also tried to shoot in the order of the scenes in the script.

At the beginning of the movie, physical education teacher Zhou Tienan found that the school bell was broken, removed the bell, and the teachers held a meeting to find that the donkey shed was on fire, and everyone put out the fire.

Although Xiao Yao wants to shoot according to the development of the plot as much as possible, it is not impossible to make some small adjustments in the middle. Among them, about the fire in the donkey shed and the part where everyone put out the fire, Xiao Yao planned to gather together to shoot.

There are two scenes in the fire in the donkey shed. In the first scene, the donkey shed was smoking, and everyone tried to extinguish the fire with various tools, but the fire could not be extinguished, but the fire became even bigger, and the donkey shed burned completely. In this scene, there are only four teacher roles. The latter scene is that after the donkey shed is completely burned, Jiajia, who comes back from fetching water, wants to bring water to fight the fire, but is stopped by others. In this scene, the six main characters all appeared, including the little coppersmith played by Xiao Yao.

In the previous scene, when several actors were carrying things to put out the fire, they wanted to get close to or even enter the donkey shed, but at this time, the donkey shed was only smoking, and there was no open flame. In the latter scene, the donkey shed burned down completely, and the actors just poured water to extinguish the fire from a distance, without approaching. Overall, the danger is not great. However, Xiao Yao didn't dare to take it lightly, and repeatedly instructed the props team responsible for making fireworks, and he also went over to check it himself.

Seeing that the directors are so careful, the actors are much more relieved about their own safety, and the whole person is much more relaxed. When people are relaxed, the performance is naturally much more relaxed.

However, because there are many characters in these two scenes, there are also a lot of lines and actions, and it is also difficult to shoot with the smoke of the production of the props team. For a whole morning, only the previous scene was filmed.

The crew may not eat a boxed lunch at every meal when filming, but when filming in a ravine and ravine, they must only eat a boxed lunch at noon. Since there is no place in the nearby village that can accommodate so many people in the crew, these lunches were sent from Qingshuihe County by the crew's drama staff, and they ran for more than an hour on the road alone.

After filming the previous scene, it was almost noon, and the drama staff also sent a boxed lunch, so Xiao Yao announced that he would take a break and put on dinner, and he would shoot the next one in the afternoon.

The firefighting scene filmed in the morning did not have the appearance of the little coppersmith played by Xiao Yao, but there was one in the scene to be filmed in the afternoon. After lunch, Xiao Yao also went to change his clothes, put on makeup, and prepared to shoot in the afternoon.

The most "ruined" actor image in the whole film are the two roles of the coppersmith couple. There is no scene of "Coppersmith's Wife" today, although He Ying still came to the set, but it was not the dress of the character in the film. So the only highlight of the crew today is on Xiao Yao's "little coppersmith".

Xiao Yao had taken makeup photos when he was in Shencheng before, and several leading actors and Lin Jingliang had all seen Xiao Yao's "little coppersmith" image, but most of the people in the crew had not seen Sun Tingting yet.

When they saw Xiao Yao, who was dark-skinned, dirty and messy with a white bandana tied in his hair, and was also dressed in patched dirty clothes and barefoot cloth shoes, many people in the crew were shocked at first, and then couldn't help laughing.

"What are you laughing at? Haven't you read the script? The coppersmith is originally such an image, what's so funny?" Although it is such a dress, it does not affect Xiao Yao's authority to show his director, and reprimands those who are smiling forward and backward, "Have you the leisure to laugh at this, is it good to rest?

"Oh, good!" Xiao Yao still gave people a feeling of being more professional and strict in the whole preliminary preparation stage, although everyone couldn't immediately restrain the smile in their eyes, but they finally stopped the laughter, and they all got up and started to move.

You need to be in a position before you shoot. In this crew, there are no stand-ins, neither martial arts nor literary substitutes, and the positioning is done by the actors themselves. Since the master in charge of the fireworks in the props team said that the fire in the donkey shed was burning for enough time, for the sake of the shooting effect, everyone's movement should also be completed next to the lit donkey shed.

Because he directed and acted by himself, Xiao Yao also appointed an executive director in the crew. When Xiao Yao was out of position, the executive director controlled the scene.

The machines of each department were set up, and the department in charge of fireworks in the props team also set fire in the donkey barn. Just as Xiao Yao and the other five actors were moving around the scene, there was a commotion outside the crew. Xiao Yao followed the sound and found more than a dozen young men dressed as villagers walking over carrying some hoes and shovels and other tools.

The crew is filming outside, and there is also a security department. However, the crew filmed in such a poor and remote place, and the media was not revealed, so there would be no fans who came here to watch from afar. They discussed with the village when they were filming in this village, and the conditions here were limited, so Xiao Yao only arranged two people to serve as the peripheral security guards of the crew, and the role was to explain the situation and dissuade those villagers who came here unintentionally. At this time, more than a dozen young adults insisted on coming here, and the two security guards obviously couldn't stop them.

Xiao Yao was walking around the fire in the donkey shed, and the executive director sitting behind the monitor was at the outermost part of the crew, and it was also the most powerful among those people. Seeing those people coming, the executive director got up and greeted them.

Seeing the executive director coming, those people also stopped.

"Folks, we are filming here! That fire was deliberately ignited by us for filming, not a fire. We're always on the sidelines, and we won't let it burn anything else, thank you for your kindness, please go back!" the executive director said to the villagers with a smile.

His first feeling was that the fire in the donkey shed had attracted the attention of the villagers, who thought that there was a fire here, and they had rushed to help put out the fire.

"Oh, you set the fire yourself?" said a young man in his thirties who looked like a leader, "We don't care if you burn your own things!

"What?" the executive director was stunned for a moment, then looked back at Xiao Yao.
