Chapter 024: Filming Complete
Hengdian Film and Television City, Ming and Qing Dynasty Palace.
Dressed in a peach blossom pink costume dress, Qiao Fei, who looked like Qingwen, finished filming today's last scene, turned her head to look for the assistant, and saw a familiar figure
She immediately walked over happily: "Xiao Jiao, isn't your new drama about to start filming, why do you still have time to visit the class?"
"Well, tomorrow in the magic capital, come to see you today, your pink peach blossom suit is so good-looking. ”
"Where, the maid pretends, she can't compare with others when she does her work, she looks ugly, so you comfort me, let's go, let's go back to the hotel, my film is finished today. ”
Qiao Fei glanced at the director not far away and whispered.
"It's a pity, I still want to watch you shoot for a while. ”
"What's so good about this, when you film, you won't be so interested. ”
"Perhaps. ”
"By the way, Zhou Chen has been in the United States for half a month, what is the situation now, I heard that he is still going to make a small-budget horror movie in the United States?"
"Hehe, you don't know? Who lent him the money? Otherwise, he might be back in a few days. Gu Xiaojiao said angrily.
"I can't help it, after Jin Jingu's video was released, everyone across the country knew that I lent him money to make a movie, and I can't count what I said. ”
"If you're not afraid of losing money, it's fine. ”
"I lent it to him, not invested in his films. Besides, you're too unconfident in your boyfriend. Qiao Fei said funny.
"I'm worried about you. As for Zhou Chen, it's not that I don't have confidence in him, but I just can't understand the current market. Some movies are so bad, the box office is good, and some movies are very good, but no one likes to watch them. ”
"Do you mean that "Big Dunk"? People have superstars to support it, and the box office must be high. I understand what you're thinking, and you're not optimistic about "This Man is from Earth", right?
To be honest, so am I, but Mr. Yuan is very supportive of Zhou Chen, and the cost is not high, and he is not afraid of losing money, so don't worry too much. ”
"Hey...... , I'm always afraid that he will be depressed again, and I don't know if he finished filming this movie, I called him the day before yesterday and said that it was only these two days. ”
Qiao Fei and Gu Xiaojiao chatted while walking, and soon got into the car where the crew sent the actors to the hotel.
………………
Los Angeles, a secluded and simple house at USLA.
Director Zhou Chen, assistant director Zhang Kejia, cinematographer Mira, producer Sheila Ham, four UCLA college students, and eight actors are filming "This Man Is From Earth."
The 16-person film crew has been filming for a week.
In fact, all the scenes had been filmed in the morning, but there was still enough time, so Zhou Chen asked for a reshoot of several important shots.
At this moment, after communicating with the actors, he has sat behind the monitor again, quietly waiting for the filming to start.
The actor John Oldman is in the room with biologist Harry, anthropologist Dan, archaeologist Art and others, and the shooting begins again as the scene notes are played.
John continued to talk to the crowd about what he had seen and heard on his eastward journey on the continent.
He spoke with a look of remembrance on his face.
"In the hunting and nomadic periods, it was easy to migrate, but after the emergence of village market towns, it was difficult, especially in developed centralized cities, where strangers were always suspicious. Still, I kept moving, and I learned new tricks, and on some occasions it took decades to get out by playing dead. I continued eastward to India and was lucky enough to catch up with the time of the Buddha. ”
Archaeologist Art Jenkins nodded casually: "It's lucky." ”
John continued, "He was the most special person I ever met, and he taught me so many things, many things I never thought possible.
Biologist Harry looked puzzled: "You follow...... Buddha study?"
"Until he 'died', he knew I was a little different, but I never told him. ”
John continued: "I left India and wanted to go further east by land, and it took me a long time to go all the way north to Central Asia. I learned from the caravan that there were dozens of countries that had to return to the West to spread my word after hundreds of years of war. ”
"Maybe it was the time of Confucius. Chinese female historian Sandy Zhou.
"Yes, after the failure of the mission, I went east for the second time, and it had been hundreds of years, and the East had been united into one powerful empire. ”
"Hundreds of years, is that the Qin Empire?" said Sandy Zhou again.
John nodded: "Yes, I traveled all the way east, and I was only halfway through when I learned that the Qin Empire had collapsed, and there was another war there.
I could only turn back to Central Asia, wander around waiting for the war to end, to learn more about the East, which was not long before it was united into one country again. ”
"That must be the Han Empire. Sandy said with a wistful face.
She is Chinese and a student of history, and she loves the history of her own bloodline.
"Yes, I can finally go to the ancient East, seeking to learn a new civilization, I am relieved to follow the camel caravan eastward, but I did not expect to encounter the Hun cavalry, trapped for several years, and once again I can only get out with fake death, only to learn that the Han Empire and the Xiongnu are at war, I can only give up the eastward journey again in disappointment. ”
"It's a pity that the history of mankind is a history of war, especially in China, where their military strategy is very developed. ”
Sandy Chow sighed, regretting that John did not go to the ancient country of the East and meet some historical figures.
"yes, but it's fascinating enough, I wish you were telling the truth. Anthropologist Dan also sighed.
"Of course it can't be true, and if it is, why did he tell us? I mean, we went away with secrets, probably everywhere. Archaeologist Art seriously retorted.
He never believed that what John said was true, how could it be that he had lived fourteen thousand years? He even thought that John had gone mad.
When John heard this, he said very blandly, "For what I have said will be forgotten in the doubts of men." The story I'm telling in this room has no credibility, even if I make you believe it now. After a month, you will suspect that you may think I have a mental problem, or that you may be angry because of this pointless joke. ”
Art said angrily: "Someone is already angry. ”
"I really shouldn't have been. I love you and I don't want you to experience any unhappiness. John said helplessly.
Professor Edith, a devout Christian who is almost sixty years old, wondered, "Then why are you still doing this?
"No, because I want to say goodbye to you for real......" John said.
Edith interrupted, "With who you really are?" I think you've done it, whatever you mean by self. ”
Black Professor Dan heard the smell of gunpowder: "Calm down, Edith, we're just assessing his mental state." ”
Art said angrily: "Dan, I found out, you are being a good person, no problem, you continue." But I think we've been talking nonsense all the time. I should have gone, but it wasn't time. Do you know why? I want to make things clear. ”
Edith also said in annoyance, "Me too." John, what the hell is going on here?"
"Okay, let's ask Dr. Gruber, who just arrived. ”
Art said as he walked out of the room and into the hallway, intending to greet the other psychiatrist, Will Gruber, who had just arrived.
Everyone got up, intending to say hello to another character who had arrived, when the sound of the slapstick sounded, and the scene was over.
Zhou Chen stood up from behind the monitor and breathed a long sigh of relief, the actors' emotions just now were in place, and there was no need to shoot again.
He politely stepped forward to thank and praise the actors, and thanked them for their hard work during this time.
These five scenes, two of which are about Oriental history and characters, are what he added to the film, and he wants better results.
After shaking hands and hugging the eight actors one by one, the other behind-the-scenes personnel also came out to hug them.
Because at this point, the filming of this drama is over.
