"Mountains and Seas" was launched, and the crew filmed the tidbits of the start-up ceremony, posted them on the Internet, and officially announced them.

Fang Xing began to work intensively on filming, as before, as he was before, both as a director and as the male lead.

The character of the male protagonist "Ma Defu" has a relatively calm and introverted personality, has enthusiasm in his heart, and is calm in his work.

This is a story about the immigrants from Diaozhuang in the Xihaigu region of Ning Province.

Diaozhuang immigration is to immigrate the people in the poor mountainous areas to the plain areas.

Although they are immigrants, they do not immigrate to prosperous areas, but to the plains where the geography is better.

Therefore, the immigrant people still have to open up wasteland and build homes on the yellow earth, which can be said to be starting from scratch.

The first episode opens.

Hanging Zhuang immigrants are in trouble.

The people in the poor mountainous areas were born and raised there, and even if they are poor, many of them do not want to emigrate.

After all, in the Chinese tradition, there is a deep-rooted idea, that is, the fallen leaves return to the roots.

In the hearts of the people, they will always feel that the place where they were born and raised is the place where their roots are, so they are reluctant to leave.

This has also led to difficulties for Miaozhuang immigrants.

The actor "Ma Defu" came back from graduating from agricultural school and was seconded to the Jiaozhuang Office, and the first thing he did when he took office was to go back to his hometown Yongquan Village and persuade the parents and villagers of Yongquan Village to hang the village.

Because the number of households in the hanging village does not meet the requirements, there is no way to get electricity.

After all, the wires need to be laid from a long distance, and if there are only a few households, the manpower and material resources consumed are too large and do not meet the regulations.

The actors of the entire crew, makeup can be described in one word, that is, "soil".

It's not just temperament, but the face and body, it's really all loess.

Because there are often sandstorms in the Xihaigu area, although it is a joke to eat sand, it is not all ridicule.

In fact.

The assistant director has already gone to Ning Province half a month in advance, and set up camp in the place where the wind and sand are the most abundant, to shoot the scene of the sandstorm.

Because in this drama, there will be many scenes of sandstorms.

It is impossible for the crew to let the actors stand on the yellow earth, wait for more than ten days, and wait until the sandstorm to shoot again.

Therefore, the distant picture of the sandstorm needs to be shot separately.

The assistant director and cameraman are in charge with a team, and it started half a month ago.

Since there was a post-editing process, it was necessary to shoot a few more sandstorm vistas.

For a close-up view of a sandstorm, you don't need to wait for a sandstorm.

The performance of the actors in the close-up shooting under the sandstorm can be blown directly with a blower.

……

In addition to sandstorms, there is another thing that needs to be planted by the crew for a longer time, and that is Bisporus mushroom.

Bisporus mushroom, also called white mushroom, mouth mushroom.

In the 90s, it could be sold for 10 yuan a catty, and the price at that time was indeed relatively high.

This mushroom has a unique flavor that may seem strange the first time you eat it, but once you accept it, you can't stop.

It is not the nineties now, and the cultivation of bisporus mushrooms has spread across the country, so the price is relatively cheap.

The current bisporus mushroom costs 6 or 7 yuan a catty, and the number doesn't seem to be much lower than 10 yuan.

However, if you count inflation over a period of twenty or thirty years, the real price gap is huge.

In the play.

Minning Village, which was built by Jiaozhuang immigrants, has established a one-to-one poverty alleviation target in Hefu Province, so a professor who specializes in planting Bisporus mushrooms came to Minning Village in Ning Province to teach villagers to grow Bisporus mushrooms.

Therefore, it is necessary to film the process of growing Bisporus mushrooms.

At the beginning, the props team discussed whether to use materials to make bisporus mushroom props.

With the strength of the current props team, it can indeed be done very similarly, and when it is filmed, the audience can hardly see the difference.

It's just static, though.

Fang Xing wants to shoot the villagers planting bisporus mushrooms, and also shoot picking bisporus mushrooms, and every detail strives to be true.

If you do it with props, you definitely can't.

Therefore, Fang Xing asked the crew to contact the local agricultural science institute very early to ask for experience in planting Bisporus mushrooms, and built more than a dozen sheds in the crew's place to grow Bisporus mushrooms by himself.

However, the cultivation cycle of Bisporus mushroom is not short, even with the help of the Agricultural Science Institute, it takes seventy or eighty days to produce mushrooms.

Fortunately, I started planting in advance, and when I started up, I had been planting for a month and a half, and after more than a month, I should start to produce mushrooms.

For the sake of filming, the planting time of each mushroom shed is staggered.

Because the planting process needs to be filmed, it is necessary to shoot at each stage.

……

During the day, Fang woke up and filmed in the crew, and when he was free, he still learned how to grow mushrooms.

After the crew finished work in the evening, Fang Xing used his mobile phone to call Lu Xianger and cook for more than an hour.

At first, I was worried that there was no signal in Ning Province, so before I came, Fang Xing specially bought a mobile phone that could make satellite calls, which was indeed very convenient.

is that when the other actors in the crew have no signal, they run over to borrow their mobile phones from time to time to make calls.

Fang Xing had no choice but to get a few satellite phones and put them in the crew as public phones.

The crew started filming for a week, and it was the first day off.

After the crew started filming, it was not filmed every day.

There will be a few days off each month, and the specific rest time will be arranged according to the shooting plan.

The day before the rest day, assistant director Wang Yutao ran over and was about to discuss the future shooting plan, but found that Fang Xing was packing his luggage.

"Director Fang, are you leaving?" Wang Yutao was a little surprised.

In the past, after Fang Xing joined the group, there were very few cases of leaving the group, even if it was a rest day, he discussed the follow-up shooting plan with the director team.

"Yes, you have to go back to the East China Sea, you work harder, and after the filming of this drama, I will reward you."

Fang Xing packed his luggage, but he couldn't leave directly, he had to find the director team and arrange the follow-up work.

After summoning the director team, Fang Xing said that he had some personal matters to deal with, so he had to go back to the East China Sea, and the follow-up work would be handed over to several assistant directors.

"Don't work too hard, just take it as a test. It is impossible for an assistant director to be an assistant director for a lifetime, and if you shoot this scene well, it's time to think about the follow-up development, so this is also an opportunity for you to get ahead. Fang Xing didn't hide it, and directly made this matter clear.

Of course, I don't tell them about my private affairs for the time being.

Several assistant directors glanced at each other and immediately agreed: "Director Fang, don't worry, we are not afraid of being tired, and we will definitely arrange the work of the crew." ”

In fact, the more mature the crew, the easier it is for the director.

When he first started filming "Wulin Gaiden", Fang Xing was busy, from costumes to props, from scene selection to camera placement, to actors' makeup, every detail had to be grasped personally.

Because at that time, I couldn't afford to hire a top team, and even a lot of the makeup was made by the actors themselves.

It's different now, Ark Culture has a mature crew.

A lot of work can be completed by the assistant director, and even if Fang Xing leaves for a few days, the crew can also start work.

Of course, Fang Xing still has to check the final shot, and if it doesn't work, he still has to reshoot.

……

Fang Xing has never suppressed the assistant director in the director team.

Usually, the assistant director is responsible for the trivial affairs of the crew, no matter how big or small, he has to take care of everything.

However, these assistant directors are actually from the film school director major, and their own abilities are good.

In fact.

Many film and television companies approached Fang Xing's assistant director, and almost every one of them was poached.

But no one was poached.

Because the Ark culture will give what should be given, and Fang Xing has never suppressed them.

For example, Zhang Yigao was the first to become the director of a hit drama from an assistant director.

The directing industry is something that is not in a hurry.

Zhang Yigao also reached the age of forty before he got the opportunity to shoot "The Darkling".

In fact, every assistant director has a dream of being a director, hoping to take the guide tube one day, but experience and background need to be accumulated.

There are indeed film and television companies that have approached them, but the film and television companies that are looking for them are all more general, and the projects are more general.

After all, it is impossible to find a newcomer who has not been the chief director to shoot a large-investment film and television project.

Fang Xing is about to be upgraded to become a father, so he will definitely give these assistant directors more opportunities in the future.

It depends on who can seize the opportunity, as long as he has the ability and can seize the opportunity, it is the second Zhang Yigao.

Therefore, when Fang Xing made it clear that after the filming of this drama is completed, they will be given a chance.

Several assistant directors were excited in their hearts.

Filming the tattered projects of other film and television companies is a waste of life, and once you leave the Ark culture, it will be difficult to come back.

If you can get the opportunity to direct alone in the company, it will be different.

Therefore, several assistant directors are eager to try.

……

After Fang Xing arranged his work, he rushed to the airport in the evening and boarded the plane to fly back to the East China Sea.

Although they have only been separated for a week, their identities are different, so the feeling of meeting is not the same, Xiao Bie is newlywed, not to mention that it is indeed newlywed.

When I got home, there were a lot of red things piled up at home.

They are all prepared for the banquet, and the house needs to be furnished at that time.

Then there are the invitations, which are piled up on the coffee table.

The time and place of the invitation are printed, but the guest's name must be filled in by hand.

"Booking a hotel so quickly?" Fang Xing was a little surprised.

In fact.

To book a hotel for a wedding reception, you usually need to book a few months in advance, and the more popular the day, the more difficult it is to book.

If you want to hold a wine on the National Day, you may not be able to order it half a year in advance.

However, as long as you are well-connected, these can be solved.

Not to mention.

This is the wedding of a famous domestic singer, a double emperor, and an internationally renowned violinist.

Being able to receive this kind of wedding banquet is also a manifestation of brand strength for the hotel.

Therefore, only a month in advance, I also booked a hotel.

"Which friends are we going to have? I've already written some, who are you going to invite, you write. Lu Xiang'er spread out a few written invitations.

Fang Xing pushed the invitation card and hugged her and sighed: "Don't worry about this, I'll accompany you when I come back today." ”

"Hmm...... You have to hurry, the invitation should be sent at least two weeks in advance, otherwise it will look rude, after all, the guests also have to prepare. Lu Xiang'er twisted a few times, obviously worrying about these things for the past few days.

"It's good to leave it to your parents to take care of, you don't have to worry about these things." Fang Xing continued to get tired.

"No, aren't you worried at all? It's been more than three weeks, and you know so many insiders, you must be invited. Lu Xiang'er asked.

Fang Xing grabbed a stack of invitations, stuffed them into the bag, and said, "Don't worry, I'll bring it back to the crew to write." A rare two-person world, we don't want these things. ”

Lu Xiang'er was sweet in her heart, but pursed her lips and corrected: "How can there be a two-person world?" It's obviously three people. ”

Tired of a night.

The next day.

Parents on both sides take turns to cook.

All of them are nutritious meals for pregnant women.

Lu Xiang'er has been eating for more than a week, and although she has changed the law, she refuses with a face full of words.

However, she still eats regularly and quantitatively, especially when Fang Xing is at home, she has to work hard to prove that she is not pampered and not picky eaters.

Stayed at home for a day.

At night.

Fang Xing wanted to connect to catch a plane back to the crew and prepare to start work the next day.

The next day.

Before the crew started, Fang Xing wrote an invitation, one of which was written to all the employees of the crew.

Before the start of work, Fang Xing took the guide tube and began to speak:

"During this time, everyone has worked hard, but I, because of my own personal affairs, joined the group late, and returned to the East China Sea yesterday.

"That's because of this."

Fang Xing said and held up an invitation card and said, "On the sixth of next month, there will be a wedding banquet at the Cloisonne Hotel, and everyone can go to have a good time when they have time."

"There are thousands of people in the crew, so I won't write invitations one by one, this one is for the crew."

That's all he said.

Someone took the lead in applauding, and immediately all the crew members applauded and shouted: "Director, is this going to do wine?" ”

"With whom?"

"Are you stupid? Who else could it be? ”

Everyone started to heckle.

Fang Xing asked the assistant to pull over a cart of candy and cakes and distribute them to everyone in the crew.

After a while, it took an hour to start work.

During the lunch break.

Fang Xing took the invitation card and went to the starring actors one by one, as well as the director team and the service team.

There are too many people in the crew, and it is impossible for everyone to give invitations.

However, the starring actors, as well as the assistant director who has been working with him for a long time, the leader of the service team, these must write separate invitations.

When Yan Lan got the invitation, she also joked: "The confidentiality work is very good, the wine will be done next month, I don't know until now." ”

Fang Xing laughed and said: "This matter was originally in a hurry, it was decided a few days before the start of the film, and I considered resigning the start of the film at the beginning, but there are so many people in the crew waiting to start work and eat, so I can only do it while filming." ”

Yan Lan smiled mysteriously, as if she had seen through everything.

Yan Lan promised: "Don't worry, when the time comes, my sister will definitely go, give you a favorite, and give you a big red envelope." ”

The other side.

Assistant director Wang Yutao still discussed with the heads of each team in the crew who to send to the wedding banquet at that time.

Although Fang Xing wrote an invitation to the entire crew, it was impossible for thousands of people in the crew to go.

A representative must be sent.

Assistant director Wang Yutao discussed with casting director Ke Pengju: "My idea is to send representatives to the wedding banquet. The person in charge of each group went back and discussed with his subordinates, each of them made a little money, and when the time came, the drama group sealed a big red envelope and wrote everyone's names. ”

Ke Pengju asked: "How do you get the right amount of money?" ”

Wang Yutao thought for a moment and said, "You can have as many as you want, but the maximum cannot exceed a hundred." The main thing is a heart, and it can't make people feel uncomfortable. ”

The other side.

Fang Xing considered that when there were so many people in the crew, most of them would definitely stay in the crew.

After all, air tickets come and go, and the cost is huge.

Many crew members don't go back even on their days off.

Therefore, Fang Xing planned to find a hotel in Ning Province that day, charter twenty buses, and pick up the crew to eat, which can be regarded as drinking happy wine.
