Chapter 5 Elephant Mountain

"Why did you agree so happily, isn't it only 30,000 yuan?"

Walking out of the hotel, Xu Jingfei asked her own questions.

Tang An shook his head, a little helpless, "Li Xiaowan is not stupid, if I have to bargain for even 10,000 yuan, she should be suspicious." ”

Xu Jingfei said clearly, and then said, "Then is the budget enough now, do you need me to participate in it?" ”

Tang An shook his head, "That's not necessary, did you notice Yang Mi's assistant's makeup just now?"

"I didn't pay much attention to it, what's wrong?" Xu Jingfei wondered.

"She wears a relatively simple and fresh light makeup, and her skills are not first-class, but it is very suitable for Yang Mi, I don't plan to look for a makeup artist, and let her directly put makeup on Yang Mi when the time comes!" Tang An said with a smile.

"The two of them have similar faces and temperaments, plus Yang Mi is still very young, a little light makeup is enough, and I can wear other actors in just one or two minutes of play!"

"I can't see that you can wear makeup!" Xu Jingyu covered her mouth and smiled.

"Understand a little bit, such as a goose-egg-shaped face, white skin, light eyebrows, slightly wider eye distance, inner double or single eyelids, and a small nose is suitable for light makeup. For example, those with round faces, thick eyebrows, thick lips, round eyes, and deep double eyelids are more suitable for heavy makeup!"

The obvious example is the red carpet queen Fan Bai, who is most suitable for her with heavy makeup. and Wang Manchun, who I often saw in the NC News Department for a while, was similar to a passer-by when he wore light makeup.

However, this is also related to age, after all, there are more wrinkles and wrinkles at the corners of the eyes when she is old, and Yang Mi basically wears heavy makeup after the age of 30.

"I'm curious now, what else is there you wouldn't have!" Xu Jing's eyes flashed with an inexplicable brilliance, and she was now more and more curious about Tang An.

"Hehe, I belong to the kind of person who knows a little bit of everything!" Tang An snorted.

"Let's go, I'll go to the crew to pack up the equipment, load the car and set off, you're also ready to do the post-production, don't you have to go abroad to participate in some film festivals?"

"You're leaving today?" Xu Jing said in surprise, she didn't expect Tang An to be in such a hurry.

"Time is tight, and I am ready to release it at the end of September to catch up with the National Day file. Besides, I have to go to Xiangshan to find a good venue, and this first time I made a movie, I can't guarantee that there will be no mistakes in the middle!"

It's the beginning of April, go to Xiangshan to find a good venue, do a good job of preliminary preparations, start filming in early May, and it is estimated that it will be completed in early July at the latest, and then do the post-production, if you have time, see if you can go to a small film festival abroad and get a nomination "gilded".

The National Day file is still the peak tourist season, and there are not many people watching movies, but the competitive pressure is also small, and it is much better than in November.

As for the Chinese New Year?

is not famous, there is no film, and if you go, you may not even be able to drink the soup.

Now there are only a few competitive movies a year in this era, but there are few movie theaters, so it is the best choice to avoid popular schedules and pick soft persimmons.

Xu Jingyan nodded and said with a smile, "I said hello to Lao Ye, you can go directly, record it, and prepare to come back when the time comes!"

"Thank you! If you need help in the future, just say it!" Tang An said solemnly.

Tang An did not drag mud and water, returned to the hotel and loaded all the equipment needed into a Changhe van that looked to be in better condition, checked the fuel tank, and confirmed that the oil was full.

As soon as the accelerator was stepped on, the second-hand Pochang River rushed out of the long distance very loudly, drove onto the main road, and drove towards Xiangshan.

Regarding the location of the location, Tang An chose Xiangshan after careful consideration.

In the future, the Xiangshan Film and Television Base, which is also one of the top ten film and television bases in China, will not open until next year, and there should already be a part of making props in the base, and the price will definitely be very cheap.

Xiangshan is composed of more than 600 islands and reefs in the east and coastal areas of the Xiangshan Peninsula, with a sea area five times that of the land area, more than 5,000 square kilometers, and a coastline of 800 kilometers, one-sixth of the coastline of **J Province.

There are more than 10 large and small beaches, and there is always a beach that meets your own requirements.

Nearly 300 kilometers away, it didn't arrive at XS until near noon.

Tang An has also come to Xiangshan Film and Television City to film before, and the buildings here are not as easy to set up with other TV series in Hengdian, which is fresh and cheap.

The time of 20 years has changed too much, and Tang An followed his memory to the vicinity of the gate of Xiangshan Film and Television Base.

The base has not yet opened, and there are only two security guards sitting there at the door chatting about family life.

There is a beach not far from the base, which is close, and many crews are willing to film there when they have seaside scenes, and it was quite lively later.

Now this beach has not been developed, and it is the off-season for tourism, so there is no one in sight.

This is just right, the province has cleared the field.

I got out of the car and surveyed it, and the place was suitable, and the exterior scene was set here for the time being.

There are no villages nearby, there is not even a boat on the sea, and the venue fee is definitely not required.

The exterior scene is there, and the next step is to find a place to get a small pool, and a hundred square meters is enough.

There are also accommodation, meals, and a few miscellaneous employees.

Tang An got on the bus directly, drove along the shore, and ten minutes later saw a village.

The car in '04 was still a rarity, and the Changhe van was not much different from Santana in the eyes of the villagers.

Immediately after entering the village, an old man in a Mao suit greeted him surrounded by three or four people.

"Are you ......," the old man said suspiciously, looking at such a big car.

"Hello old man, my name is Tang An, I am a student of the film academy, and I am going to come here to make a movie. ”

Tang An got out of the car and explained his intentions.

College students are still very expensive these days, not to mention the director of the film school, the old village chief immediately paid attention to it, and he didn't doubt it.

"It's Director Tang, you came to our village to make a movie, if you need any help, just say that two years ago, I wanted to build a film and television city, and I haven't seen anyone come over for so long. ”

When the surrounding villagers heard that Tang An was actually a big director, they immediately chattered, and the rural people had no way to hide their loud voices.

"Then thank you to the village chief, I want to rent a few rooms in our village, preferably there is a vacant land nearby, and I can dig a pool of about 100 square meters!"

Tang An didn't expect it to be so smooth, he didn't even look at his student ID or anything, and the rhetoric he had prepared was in vain.

The folk customs are simple, far from the countryside where the routine slowly deepened.

"Just go to my house to live, the backyard is big enough, I'll find a few people to dig for you if you want to dig anything!"

"That's okay, there are about three rooms, two people, one for equipment, and if it's convenient for you, can you cook more food every day, we have three people, and we will give it to you together with the room money when the time comes!"

"What kind of money are you talking about, kid! We don't have anything else in the village, how many rooms can we charge you money?

It's no problem to eat, two more pairs of chopsticks, all of which are home-grown rice and vegetables!"

"That's not good, I can't live with you for nothing, so let's do it, the three of us, we will give you 800 yuan a month for room and board, what do you think?"

The cost of 30,000 yuan is 20,000 yuan after removing Liu Mimi's salary, and I have to go to the scenic spot to rent a hot air balloon, piggyback on a pilot, and invite two group performers who can surf.

And the carcass of the whale, even if it is a simple one, it is estimated that it will cost a lot of money.

For three people to eat and live for a month, 800 yuan is not much, but he wants to give more money and has no extra money.

"What kind of money do you kid say, if you talk about money, you can go to someone else's house!" the old village chief waved his hand, a little unhappy.

In these years, even if I go to the south to work, I can't earn 800 yuan a month.

Since the old village chief insisted on not accepting it, Tang An didn't force it, thinking about buying some gifts and going over, and if there was still some money left after the shooting, he would stay.
