229 Boot-up Ceremony (1st Shift)
Since last winter, Yu Dongqing wrote the script of "Young You" and handed it to Mingmei, and the girl began to prepare for filming.
Lack of funds, finding suitable actors, and project approval have been busy for most of the year, and in mid-June, "Young You" officially started filming.
Tomorrow is June 15th, the 28th day of the fourth month of the lunar calendar, and it is an auspicious day for the opening of the zodiac. The launching ceremony of "Young You" will be held at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning in Huairou Film and Television City.
"Bright, I'm not going."
Yu Dongqing said on the phone.
It's so hot that it's too difficult, and it takes more than an hour to drive to Huairou, which is simply a crime.
But Mingmei disagreed.
"Brother-in-law, you are the director's consultant, why can't you not come? This is my first time making a film, you have to support me! ”
Well, Yu Dongqing was helpless.
The next morning, I was sent to my daughter Yu Tongtong to school, immediately got on the Third Ring Road, and drove in the direction of Huairou before arriving at Huairou Film and Television City after more than an hour.
The specific location of the filming of "Young You" this time is not the Xingmei Jinsheng Film and Television City, where Yu Dongqing served as a temporary military commander the year before last - it is mainly antique buildings and is used for filming costume dramas.
This time it is placed in the national China Film Digital Production Base.
Located on the east side of Huairou Film and Television Base, covering an area of 54,000 square meters, it is a film factory with film and television shooting, sound recording, digital processing, film processing and printing, animation, games, advertising production, equipment rental, disc production and other service functions with film and television pre- and post-production as the core.
Yu Dongqing drove straight to Area C in the southwest area of the National China Film Digital Production Base, not only the start-up ceremony, but also part of the interior scenes of "Young You" were also filmed here, where 16 functional studios were built to meet the needs of extra-large scenes and special scenes.
Yu Dongqing parked the car in the parking lot of Area C, wore sunglasses and walked towards Studio 6, where a large group of people were already gathered outside.
also stretched a banner that read the launching ceremony of "Young You".
"Brother-in-law, you're here!" Director Mingmei was wearing a T-shirt and denim shorts, showing her big white legs again, and greeted with a smile.
She had already come two days early.
Yu Dongqing smiled and nodded.
"Holly, you're finally here." It was producer Li Wan who greeted him, and he naturally wanted to attend this important occasion.
"You come, can I not come? Join in the fun. Yu Dongqing smiled, looked at the reporter carrying a long gun and a short cannon next to him, and asked in a low voice, "This is what you invited?" ”
For a directorial debut like Mingmei, it is impossible for so many reporters to come.
"Huh. Publicity is very important, although it costs a little money, but it is worth it! Li Wan said with a smile.
Sure enough, there is money that can make the devil grind.
Zhang Yang played the policeman Lao Yang in this play, he saw Yu Dongqing coming over, patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and said: "You kid, you are still late for your sister-in-law's filming." ”
The director is Yu Dongqing's sister-in-law?!
Yu Dongqing, the actors and staff members present, naturally didn't know most of them, but they knew a lot of him.
Qu Dad, the god of folk songs.
Not long ago, he participated in the music variety show "Singing While Walking", which was a big hit, and some people joked that he alone brought this show to a new height.
I didn't expect it to be a bright brother-in-law!
Many people don't know about this relationship.
"Hey, what is he doing here? Specifically to see your sister-in-law? Immediately a girl quietly began to gossip.
"You don't know, he wrote the script for this movie!"
"It's so powerful, I thought he could only write and sing."
"What, I heard that people can also take pictures and have won international awards."
"Oh that's amazing, hey, how do you know so much?! Are you a super fan of his?! ”
Yu Dongqing naturally didn't care about these and chatted with Zhang Yang.
"Hey, Holly, I said that the crew still owes shortcomings? I discussed with Yimin and Du Hui, and decided to invest 1 million each, which can be regarded as supporting Mingmei's filming. ”
"That's good, thank you."
Listening to Li Wan, there is still a bit of a gap in funds, but it is enough to save a little, and with this 3 million, I have more confidence.
This occasion is naturally not suitable for buddies to chat privately, and someone greeted Yu Dongqing after chatting for a few words.
"Teacher Yu."
It's a pretty girl: Zhao Yawen.
Yu Dongqing hadn't seen this girl for months.
Zhao Yawen has also been very busy for most of the past six months, released a CD album, and participated in several commercial performances in other cities, and now she has come to the crew to play Hu Xiaodie.
I heard that Luo Yun helped contact a Xianxia TV series as the second female, and the costume photo album in her CD is too eye-catching, fairy-like, and some crews are very interested in it, but they are still in the process of negotiation, and even the live broadcast on station B has been changed to twice a week.
Popularity is rapidly surging.
Today, Zhao Yawen is wearing a floral short skirt like a little girl next door, although she is older than other actors, she is pretty, and she really can't see it.
Originally, Yu Dongqing wanted to joke that she would be more beautiful if she hadn't seen her for half a year, but she didn't think it was appropriate, so she changed her words and said: "Yawen, you can become a star now." ”
"I'm your student of whatever happens."
Zhao Yawen is not polite, she thinks so.
Whether it is helping her write songs, letting her go to further study, and opening a live broadcast to release an album, he is very grateful to Yu Dongqing from the bottom of his heart and treats him as his mentor.
Yu Dongqing smiled when he heard this: "Don't, don't, I didn't teach you anything." ”
The two chatted a few words, and Yu Dongqing was just about to leave, when he suddenly heard a girl call him: "Teacher Yu." ”
Looking back, it turned out to be the female No. 2 Ye Xiaomin.
Wearing a T-shirt and denim today, it looks very quiet.
For Ye Xiaomin, Yu Dongqing had a kind of vigilance in his heart.
He was not afraid of Ye Xiaomin, but was a little worried about the godfather behind her, the big financier of the investor, Zhang Longwen, the boss of Longkuang Coal Industry.
is worried that Zhang Longwen will invest 20 million yuan and point fingers at Mingmei as a director.
Fortunately, so far, listening to Mingmei, Zhang Longwen has not said much except for asking about the progress of the preparation for the filming a few times.
Yu Dongqing was very satisfied with this.
Now seeing Ye Xiaomin taking the initiative to greet him, Yu Dongqing also replied with a smile, of course, they were all in the air.
Yu Dongqing also saw the male number one starring Lu Xiaoxi.
Unlike other actors and crew members chatting in twos and threes, Lu Xiaoxi stood on the side and looked a little unsociable.
He had some inferiority in his heart.
After coming to the crew, he learned that although the main actors in this play are newcomers, they are either Chinese opera students or graduated from Yenching Film Academy, although Zhao Yawen is not from a professional class, but she is also a star now, but she is the only one, who used to be just a group performance in Hengdian.
When the staff of the crew's studio chatted and asked, he was embarrassed to say.
Seeing Yu Dongqing coming over today, several actors went over to say hello, and he suddenly felt a little timid when he thought about it.
Or Lord Yu Dongqing came over and greeted: "Lu Xiaoxi, are you all ready?" ”
"Teacher Yu, get ready!"
"Play well, I'm optimistic about you!"
"Hmm!"
Lu Xiaoxi suddenly felt a great encouragement.
Seeing that it was almost ten o'clock, assistant director Han Qingqing greeted loudly: "The time is coming soon, everyone is lining up, ready to incense."
It turns out that Xiangjiang is making a movie, and the start-up ceremony is full of traditional colors, and when the auspicious time comes, from the investor to the main creator, and then to the on-site personnel, incense is served in turn, and rich offerings are often prepared on the spot.
Now the mainland is also like this, including the filming of some dramas.
"Young You" is no exception.
"Brother-in-law, you take the lead, are you a consultant and a screenwriter, or a representative of the investor." Mingmei said.
