Chapter 44: Preparations for Filming
In the activity room of the school magazine, two chairs have been added, according to Qiu Yanzi's words, this is the position of the "standing guest of the school magazine", which means that these two chairs will be placed in the activity room for a long time.
On the day when it was decided to make a movie, the first joint meeting of the school magazine was held after school.
After some self-introduction, I can't say the same, in fact, it's only Yang Huhu and Luo Nan who are completely unfamiliar. Jiang Wentai and Luo Nan are still friends in junior high school, so there is no obstacle to talking.
"Is that to be screened at the Harukawa Festival, a movie made by the school magazine and the fifth class?"
Jiang Wentai understood the current situation, nodded, and then quickly accepted this decision. Life is endless, and he is his creed.
"What about Senpai's opinion?"
Qiu Yanzi looked at Yang Huhu, the senior sister seems to be quite good at this, so if there is a senior sister joining, it must be like a tiger.
Yang Huhu was a little twisted, as if there was something unspeakable.
"This...... Actually, there is something to do in the animation club, and the movie is ......."
"Okay, then I won't bother Senior Sister."
Qiu Yanzi was a little regretful, but he didn't show it, after all, everyone has their own things, and they can't let their temperament come to their senses.
"Huh?" Yang Huhu was a little stunned, opened his mouth and stretched out his hand to speak.
"The ......"
"Then the six of us will make the movie."
The voice of the tiger tiger was very small, so small that Qiu Yanzi directly sorted out his emotions and continued to advance the meeting.
"It's not ...... If you have time......
Yang Huhu was a little anxious, but he still kept his voice quiet, his cheeks were red, and he didn't actually want to refuse.
"Then I'll assign a task."
"That! I'm going to participate too!"
Yang Huhu blushed, stood up, puffed out the corners of his mouth, and looked very dissatisfied, ah, what are you shirking......
Her move made everyone focus their attention on her, and then it was a common picture, and she lowered her head in shame and sat in her position, Qiu Yanzi looked at Yang Huhu a little sluggishly, and then reacted for a long time.
「…… Uh, yes."
Qiu Yanzi sorted out her emotions again, and was so tossed by her senior sister that she was speechless for a while, and only reacted after a while.
"As for the shooting, let's prepare for the preliminary work, and everyone will talk about what they are going to do."
Qiu Yanzi is not a squad leader or an organizing committee, so he is not very skilled in business, but fortunately, there are these characters here. She took the gel pen and spread out her notebook, intending to take notes while listening.
"Well, I'll talk about it first."
Jiang Wentai got up directly after Qiu Yanzi finished speaking.
"In the case of the Student Council, activities need to be reported two weeks in advance. We still have more than three weeks to go, and that's enough time. Once we've figured out what we're going to do, write a plan...... Leave this kind of thing to me. When the time comes, I will hand it over to the student council, and as long as the content is not excessive, it will generally pass the review."
Jiang Wentai's well-organized explanation deserves to be the most effective leader in the organization department of the student union.
"I have a question, is it possible to get permission from the studio for the screening?"
After he finished speaking, Qiu took notes concisely and then began to ask questions.
"A place like a studio...... Don't even think about it."
Jiang Wentai scratched the back of his head with some embarrassment, it seemed that there was some difficulty.
"What's wrong! Is it shady?"
Senior Sister Yang Huhu suddenly stood up, holding her fists in front of her chest, looking very excited.
The two newcomers looked at this senior sister who didn't match the grade with some embarrassment, and complained silently, "It's so cute......
"Shady ...... Don't talk about it like that."
Jiang Wentai smiled awkwardly, it is true that some cadres of the student union will use their private power for their own opinions, but the vast majority of cadres still have good character.
"It's just that there is an unwritten rule that the venue of the studio must be given to the opera club every year, and the art club also has representative programs of each class."
"Does that mean you don't give it to other societies?"
Qiu Yanzi thought about it seriously, if the movie is screened, there is no place with a dense audience, I am afraid it will be a little deserted.
"Theoretically, because of our university's cultural policy, the opera club and the art club have received the most support."
"Is that okay in the name of the class?"
Jiang Wentai shook his head helplessly and glanced at Yan Wu.
"Class 5 class leader Yan Wu should understand."
After Yan Wu was called, he was a little surprised at first, and then immediately reacted, shaking his head.
"Only one show in each class can be performed in the school studio, and the quota in our class is for hip-hop, and I remember that the quota in the minister's class is for stage plays, right?"
Speaking of this, Qiu Yanzi was stunned for a moment, since there was only one place, and it was a stage play for Qiu Yanzi to play the heroine, wouldn't it be a few projects in the class? Qiu Yanzi couldn't bear it.
"Yes, there are still such rules."
"Of course, other projects are not eliminated, but they have been replaced, such as the open-air stage on campus."
Yan Wu saw Qiu Yanzi's thoughts, and took the initiative to comfort her, after Qiu Yanzi knew this, she nodded with some relief, she is the kind of person who doesn't like competition. In adult Esperanto, it is, "You child, you are so honest, you will suffer when you grow up and enter society." That kind of person.
Everyone was a little frustrated, but Mo Ming was puzzled.
"That...... With all due respect, is the studio a powerful thing?"
"Huh? Mo Ming, don't you even know this?"
Chen Yingjie had great doubts about Mo Ming's lack of attempts.
"Hen ......"
Mo Ming shook his head, is he a marginalized figure of the times? Could it be that at the moment of entering the school, the principal announced to the teachers and students of the school that the best place in the school is the "studio" and the like?
"There are often some celebrities who come to our school to give speeches, you don't even know."
The town may not be very famous, but Harukawa High School is famous, and there are many famous entrepreneurs, poets, writers, and government officials, some of whom have entered the province. Therefore, many well-known alumni visited the school and gave speeches, and this Qingchuan Festival, members of the Provincial Writers Association will come to the school to give speeches, and the venue for the speeches is the school's studio.
"Oh...... Oh, well, I'll just say it...... There are always so many great people coming to our school......
Mo Ming pretended to know a good smile.
"The school studio can accommodate 3,000 people, which can be described as huge, and not only our school, but also the junior high school, and even people from outside will come, and the scene is spectacular."
Jiang Wentai proudly added, at this time, the superiority of being a student of Qingchuan High School was reflected.
"In that case, where else can I show a movie?"
Luo Nan, who was listening honestly next to him, raised his hand, as if answering a teacher's question in class, looking restrained, in essence, a little funny, with a serious look, he really has the talent to be a funny comedian.
"In that case...... There's another place."
Jiang Wentai thought about it, if the movie is screened, it is not suitable for outdoor and open-air, it should only be suitable for a certain genre of movie, and if you reason, you have to find another way.
"Where?"
Qiu Hinako tilted her head and asked blankly.
"The school has a movie screening room, although it is a film screening room, it is not so professional, it is just an open classroom, which can accommodate 150 people, there are projections, but it is not a giant screen, it is probably the kind of white projection cloth of 2 meters x 1.5 meters."
"It's too ......."
Chen Yingjie is a little dissatisfied, this kind of place, the location is remote, the environment is too cramped, and the equipment is not professional, in short, it is not very satisfactory.
"Don't be picky, there are still a lot of people vying for this kind of classroom."
Jiang Wentai belongs to the organization department of the student union, which is the busiest student union department in each Qingchuan Festival, and knows this kind of thing very well.
"Then can you ask Wentai to lynch him?"
After getting the answer, Chen Yingjie quickly accepted the reality and prepared to take a trick.
"It's private rights......
"That's agreed?"
"Uh...... Don't think about it so much, the activity venue is the priority of the club, the school magazine did not apply for the activity before, now, as long as you explain patiently, it will be passed."
Jiang Wentai answered her very honestly, but he was still a little selfish, who will explain the so-called patient explanation? Of course, he is the only organizing committee member here.
"Then please Jiang Wentai."
Qiu Yanzi drew a circle in the notebook, and inside the circle was the word "program", which means that the program that was going to be taken has been roughly solved.
"And what do you need next?"
Once the projection is solved, that is, the external objective conditions, then what remains is the internal objective conditions and subjective efforts.
"Okay, let's talk about it then."
Chen Yingjie took out her bear notebook and stood up.
"In terms of funding, the response to the last issue of the school magazine was very good, and the school allocated some money to our club, and then the sales were also good, so there is still a lot of money left. Just tell me what you need and put it into your budget."
Briefly summing up, Chen Yingjie made an OK gesture, and then sat in her position.
"What's next......
Qiu Yanzi tapped the tip of the pen on the paper, this is quite troublesome.
"Is it OK to have a DSLR? I'll borrow it from my classmates, and I'll just return it before the Harukawa Festival."
Yan Wu remembered that the collective project in her class was a single-lens reflex restaurant.
"SLR...... I think it's better to have a camera."
Qiu Yanzi thought that if he wanted to do it, he would be successful, and there were too many limitations of SLR. Mo Ming looked at Qiu Yanzi who lowered her head and thought about the problem seriously, and was a little admired, it turned out that she was so committed to doing things.
"Hmph."
Obviously, it turned out to be Senior Sister Yang Huhu, who are you trying to mock with this "hum"? Mo Ming complained in his heart. However, he had already learned the temperament of this senior sister, and from the expression on her face, as well as the inexplicable mocking onomatopoeia, he knew that she had a way.
"Does Senpai have any opinions?"
Qiu Yanzi asked Yang Huhu weakly.
"Shooting and ...... Leave it to me later."
"Oh? Sister Tiger has a camera and a computer?"
Chen Yingjie is very curious, there are such high-end things as cameras, in this town, there are really them, and that person burns a lot of money.
"What do you think...... Who do you think I am?"
Yang Huhu used his thumb and index finger to put his eyes on his chin, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a tiger tooth that stole the spotlight.
Yes...... Inflated......
"Okay, then the shooting equipment is also solved."
Qiu Yanzi drew a circle again, thought carefully, the school allowed Jiang Wentai to help submit, the budget does not have to bother, and the shooting equipment is already available, so it is the script and actors.
"Senior Sister Tiger is responsible for filming and post-production, and if the actors are the actors, it's us, so what about the script?"
In a word, other troublesome things can be solved, but this script, who will write the problem. Among the members of the school magazine, the only one who can write the script should be Yang Huhu, who is skilled in editing, but the senior sister is already very busy, and she is really unbearable. And this time the script is a reasoning movie, and the senior sister shouldn't be able to write it.
"This one...... Can you use ready-made ones?"
Mo Ming participated in the conversation.
"Xiao Ming, do you mean "Office Murders" when you say ready-made?"
"Almost, or one from Sherlock Holmes?"
"I don't think it's realistic, first of all, there is not enough time for props and costumes. And the duration and scene of the shooting are not allowed to borrow from the classics, so they can only be original......
"That's ......."
"Then Jiang Wentai, if you think it's original, who should you ask for help?"
"That...... There is a senior surnamed Qiu who may do ......."
Jiang Wentai really couldn't imagine that other so-and-so could write a script for the school magazine, even if the ability was enough, but people with this ability had already been requisitioned by other clubs, let alone help other clubs.
"Cousin's words...... There are some troubles, she said explicitly, let's be self-reliant."
Qiu Yanzi looked apologetic, in fact, Qiu Linglong's original words were even more straightforward, she actually said, "No matter what happens to the school magazine, I will not interfere."
Everyone is in trouble again, where did the script come from, it's really a headache.
"That...... Just be original, right?"
Everyone looked at Luo Nan, who didn't speak much but was also thinking positively.
"Xiao Nan, what are you talking about original?"
"Each of us thinks of a general story, the kind of plot that is not very demanding on costumes and props, and then discusses it together and sets up some reasoning plots."
After she finished speaking vaguely, she looked at everyone, and after everyone looked at each other, they were thoughtful.
"Xiao Nan, I think it's good."
Jiang Wentai first agreed with this point of view, isn't the school magazine relying on teamwork until now? It works.
"I think so."
Chen Yingjie glanced at Jiang Wentai, and then agreed.
"No objections."
Yang Huhu also agreed, Mo Ming and Yan Wu nodded, this plan is indeed the best solution at present.
"Then if everyone agrees, it's decided."
Qiu Yanzi drew the last circle, and her expression was soothing.
"Also, when we all have a weekend, why don't we meet in one place to discuss?"
"Where is it?"
"If you don't dislike it, you can come to my house the morning after tomorrow, that is, Saturday morning."
Qiu Yanzi smiled heartily, Mo Ming was slightly stunned, and went to the girl's house...... I haven't had an experience yet.
"Agreed."
After everyone spoke in unison, Mo Ming found out that he was going to the girl's house for the first time.
