Chapter 717: Filming Begins
Jiang Zhen's Virgo "Hope Elementary School" has started filming, the male protagonist chose Ji Zhangjie, who had just returned to China, and the heroine was a college student who had just graduated from Beiying, named Xu Chun, who was very beautiful.
Ji Zhangjie became famous because he was in South Korea, and returned to China to sing "In My Singing", and under the operation of Jiang Yan Company, he soon became a hot search on Weibo and became a well-known student in the mainland.
In just a few months, Ji Zhangjie's Weibo fans have reached more than 10 million, which can be described as a miracle, and many businesses have asked him to endorse advertisements. However, Ji Zhangjie has already signed a contract with Yangzhou Entertainment, and without the permission of the company, he cannot accept endorsements casually.
Although Hang Yu didn't care about making movies, he was very curious, and on a sunny day, Shen Miaofu invited him to Yangzhou Entertainment to inspect the business, so Hang Yu drove alone and happily went there.
The filming location is in a relatively remote village in Fairy Town, the scenery is beautiful, but the village has not built a cement road, and it just rained yesterday, so the road is very muddy, and the shoes are dirty after getting off the car without walking a few steps.
"I didn't expect there to be such a poor village in our fairy town. Shen Miaofu looked around, although the scenery was beautiful, the village facilities were very backward, and the farmers' clothes were also rustic and shabby.
"You really think that people in developed areas are rich, not to mention remote mountain villages, and there are also a lot of poor people in cities. Let's just say that our Meiling Village was not much better than here ten years ago, and it has developed faster in recent years. Hang Yu said.
"Chairman, Manager Shen, you are here. Jiang Zhen filmed an assistant to pick them up.
"Where is Director Jiang filming?" asked Hang Yu.
"Just ahead, two of you come with me. "The assistant showed them the way.
Walking through a muddy village road, I saw a lot of people gathered in front of me from a distance.
Hang Yu stepped forward and saw Jiang Zhen sitting in front of the camera, surrounded by a large group of photographers, while Ji Zhangjie and a few villagers were acting in a scene of being beaten. The cause was that two students were fighting at school, and Ji Zhangjie went to visit their home, but as a result, the parents of both sides not only did not settle the matter, but also argued. In order to stop them, Ji Zhangjie was accidentally beaten to the ground by one of the parents.
In the script, it is not stated that this scene was filmed after the rain, and it happens that today is after the rain.
Originally, Ji Zhangjie felt that it was so muddy outside, and he would wait two days to shoot again, but Jiang Zhen felt that the shooting effect was better after the rain. After Ji Zhangjie finished to the end, he was covered in mud, which made him even more embarrassed, which added to the conflict of this scene.
Ji Zhangjie is still a relatively honest child, he did not become domineering because he was very famous, and pinched his nose and agreed to Jiang Zhen's request. But he was not determined enough, or he had never suffered a loss, and he fell several times in a row without the effect that Jiang Zhen wanted.
When he fell for the first time, Ji Zhangjie sat on the ground with his buttocks, but Jiang Zhen shouted and asked him to fall to the ground. Ji Zhangjie pinched his nose and admitted it again, but he was not professional enough, he was too slow when he fell, and it seemed too fake. During the third shooting, Ji Zhangjie finally let go, but after falling, he bluffed his head with his hand, which was still unsatisfactory.
In the eyes of laymen like Hang Yu, the third time is already very real, but Jiang Zhen is not satisfied.
At this time, Ji Zhangjie was already covered in mud, and if he continued to shoot, it would look too fake, because it was impossible to fall and be covered in mud all over his body, which was like rolling around on the ground.
"Click, Ji Zhangjie, you go and change your clothes immediately, and shoot again in ten minutes. Jiang Zhen got up and said, he had already seen Hang Yu coming.
"Okay. Ji Zhangjie was quite helpless.
"Chairman, Manager Shen, let you see a smile. Jiang Zhen turned around and said.
"It's very interesting, I believe that after you finish filming this drama, your directing ability will be greatly improved. Hang Yu said.
"That's a must, and I hope to work with professional actors next time. Jiang Zhen said with a little complaint, in fact, he didn't really want to choose Ji Zhangjie as the leading actor, because this guy had never learned acting skills at all.
But Ji Zhangjie is the new favorite of Yangzhou Entertainment, and he also knows Hang Yu, which makes Jiang Zhen entangled in casting for a long time. On the one hand, he hopes to choose a good actor, after all, it is the first play, and the quality is very important, on the other hand, he feels that Ji Zhangjie's fame is also helpful.
"Brother Yu, you're here. Ji Zhangjie changed his clothes and walked over, while using a towel to remove the muddy water on his hair and face, and with him came a beautiful girl in a dress and a sports coat.
"How do you feel?" asked Hang Yu.
"It feels good, how did I act?" Ji Zhangjie asked rhetorically.
"Do you still need to ask, just look at the director's face. Hang Yu said with a smile.
Ji Zhangjie was speechless for a moment, revealing a wry smile.
"Chairman, Manager Shen, hello, my name is Xu Chun, graduated from Beiying. Xu Chun bowed slightly to them.
"Hello. Hang Yu nodded slightly.
After chatting for a while, Jiang Zhen asked everyone to restart filming, and Ji Zhangjie hurriedly returned to his original position.
Jiang Zhen first told Ji Zhangjie about the requirements, and Ji Zhangjie nodded again and again, and showed a firm look.
This time he didn't care so much, and after being beaten by the villagers, he fell to the muddy ground, very simply, and did not particularly protect his head. Ji Zhangjie's face came into close contact with the ground, splashing some muddy water, and a camera gave a close-up.
"OK, it's over. Jiang Zhen was finally satisfied.
Several assistants hurriedly stepped forward to comfort Ji Zhangjie, one changed his clothes, and the other wiped the muddy water for him.
"It's not easy to be an actor. Hang Yu said.
"Depending on how you evaluate it, Ji Zhangjie can earn millions of dollars by falling a few times, and if he is an ordinary person, it is estimated that he can break this road. Jiang Zhen didn't care, he thought that actors should be like this.
"That's right. Hang Yu said.
After filming this scene, they moved to the elementary school to shoot.
"Having said that, this Hope Primary School was donated by our company, and there was no primary school here. Jiang Zhen introduced.
"How to donate to such a remote place, it is estimated that there are few elementary school students. Hang Yu said.
He is also a person who pays attention to the efficiency of donations, and there are not many households in this village, and it is a bit wasteful to build a primary school. You must know that even in some communities with large populations, primary school resources are very scarce, and Hang Yu is more willing to donate to these places.
"There are nine classes in six grades, about two hundred and seventy people. Jiang Zhen said.
"There are so many children in the village?" asked Hang Yu.
"Some of the nearby villages also come here to study. Jiang Zhen explained.
Hang Yu nodded slightly, such a simple question, he didn't turn a corner for a while.
"Some children have to walk more than an hour to get to school, and their families live in mountains higher than here. I had a scene where I went to visit a high mountain and almost fell off a steep mountain road. Ji Zhangjie said beside him.
