Zhou Yan dangled on the street until nearly eleven o'clock, holding a large bag and a small bag, and walked towards the place agreed with Liu Qing.

Liu Qing and the others had already arrived at the place in advance, and seeing Zhou Yan holding a lot of things, Liu Qing hurriedly ran over to help.

Looking at the big bags and small bags, Liu Qing was surprised, "These are all melon seeds?" ”

"This bag is melon seeds, and the other bags are some snacks and dry goods, which I bought for you."

As soon as he heard that it was a snack bought for them, Liu Qing couldn't help but say, "You earn more than a month, but you can't spend it like this, you have to know how to save money when you're young." ”

Zhou Yan said domineeringly, "Money is a bastard, I'll earn it after I spend it." ”

He Fatzi gave a thumbs up next to him, "The door god just has a pattern, anyway, I'm not welcome, if you have any snacks for me, you will accept them all." ”

"What can you eat?" Liu Qing teased He Fatzi.

After getting in the car, Liu Qing wrinkled his nose again, "How can I smell a smell of urea." ”

"Brother Liu, your nose is smart enough, this smell is on my body." Zhou Yan took out the note with the address from his pocket and gave it to Liu Qing, "This is for you." ”

"What is this?"

"The location and contact information of the fertilizer plant in the county."

Liu Qing knew what Zhou Yan meant, he smiled and put the note away, "Whether you use it or not, brother thank you, let's go, go find a place to eat first." ”

……

Back at Qiao's compound in the afternoon, Zhou Yan first gave the melon seeds to Gong Li, and then gave the other snacks to the staff on the set.

Don't look at Zhou Yan bought a lot, it was really distributed to everyone, in fact, it was enough to eat for a while.

Buying things for the staff, it's not that Zhou Yan wants to deliberately please them, it's just that he has such a habit of wanting to bring something home after going out. No matter where you go, if you go home without something, you always feel like something is missing.

Here, Zhou Yan was sharing snacks with Jiang Mengfei, and Zhao Fei came over and called him, "Zhou Yan, Director Zhang asked you to go to his dormitory." ”

"Okay." Zhou Yan grabbed two handfuls of snacks from the bag and kicked them into his pocket, and then handed the rest to Jiang Mengfei, "Mr. Fei, I'll leave the rest to you to arrange." ”

Jiang Mengfei said with a smile, "I'm not afraid of corruption." ”

"If you are not afraid of the people's sanctions, just take care of corruption."

Of course Jiang Mengfei didn't dare, because the "people" of the crew were already staring at him at this time.

……

When they arrived at Zhang Yimou's dormitory, Zhang Yimou beckoned to Zhou Yan with a smile, "Zhou Yan, tell you something." ”

"What's the matter?" Zhou Yan is now familiar with Zhang Yimou, and his tone has become casual, he walked over with a smile and joked, "Director Zhang, do you want to add drama to me?" ”

"If you want to add it, I can add two more for you." Zhang Yimou smiled, and then said, "But it's not necessarily whether you cut it in the back or not." ”

"Forget it, let's not waste film."

"Talk about business." Zhang Yimou took out the storyboard and a shot list, "Tomorrow there will be the last scene before the snow scene, which is the part where Yan'er was carried to the hospital, Director Gao has been too busy in the past two days, and I can't spare my hands, please help me communicate with Zhao Fei and them before filming." ”

Zhou Yan took the storyboard and the camera table, and said in his heart that this old man was really easy to use himself, and the communication before filming was completely handed over to himself.

In fact, this kind of pre-shooting communication is not particularly difficult, mainly Zhang Yimou's storyboard and lens list have been completed, Zhou Yan only needs to convey Zhang Yimou's ideas to each group.

At the beginning, when Li Jiehan was there, these things were all done by Li Jiehan, and later Li Jiehan was transferred, Zhang Yimou had to do these things by himself, I have to say, he is indeed tired, and now because of Zhou Yan, he wants to take it easy.

And Zhou Yan's previous performance also proves that he is fully qualified for this job, even if there is a lack of communication, it is not too late to add it on the spot tomorrow, anyway, it is not a particularly complicated scene.

"Okay, no problem, I'll go now."

"Then it's hard for you."

"You're welcome, I haven't been asking you questions all this time, and I've had some contacts."

Zhou Yan walked out with the storyboard, and happened to meet Hou Xiaoxian who came back.

Hou Xiaoxian looked at the storyboard in Zhou Yan's hand and joked, "This is being pulled by Director Zhang again." ”

"This is Director Zhang giving me the opportunity to exercise." Zhou Yan said with a smile.

Hou Xiaoxian smiled and nodded, "The mentality is good, but if you really want to exercise, you can usually find some scripts and try to write storyboards and storyboards, mix on the set every day, and no matter how familiar you are, you can only be an executive director." ”

"I've really thought about it, but I just don't know how to do it."

"What's so hard to start with, just find a script, or find a novel to turn into a screenplay, and try to break it down into a storyboard. After you are proficient in short stories, try to break down the longer ones, and then you can consider starting shooting when you are proficient...... Of course, the threshold from splitting to getting started shooting is high, and the minimum requirement is to have a camera and actors. ”

Zhou Yan nodded, he had thought about this method that Hou Xiaoxian said before, but he never put it into action, because he didn't know how other people did it, and he didn't know if it really worked.

Now hearing Hou Xiaoxian say this, he decided to go back and give it a try. The big directors have suggested it, and it shouldn't be a big problem.

"Do you have any script recommendations from Director Hou?" Zhou Yan asked.

Zhang Yimou suddenly said in the back, "Don't stick to the script, you can break down whatever script you have." In addition, I have a different opinion from Director Hou, and I don't necessarily have to choose a short story at the beginning, anyway, a long story can be broken down into a short story. ”

Hou Xiaoxian did not refute, "What Director Zhang said also makes sense, long and short stories are just forms, not cores. ”

"I see." Zhou Yan nodded, "Then I'll go and get busy first." ”

……

Coming out of Zhang Yimou's dormitory, Zhou Yan kept thinking about what Hou Xiaoxian said about the training and decomposition of the script, so when communicating with each group, in order to make a quick decision, he did not choose to communicate one group at a time, but directly called all their groups together and held a meeting for them.

Each group was very face-saving and actively participated in the meeting.

Zhou Yan spent more than 40 minutes communicating with each group about tomorrow's shooting, and each group also listed the problems they might encounter and discussed them on the spot to find solutions.

After this was done, Zhou Yan went back to his dormitory.

According to Hou Xiaoxian, if you want to train to create storyboards, you must first find a script, he doesn't have a ready-made script at hand, but there are many well-written novels that can be adapted.

But Zhou Yan went through all the novels he had written recently in his mind, but he didn't find one with a strong desire to adapt them into movie scripts.

Suddenly, he thought of the post-shooting problem mentioned by Hou Xiaoxian, so he changed his thinking, he could think of a script that was not difficult to achieve in post-shooting.

After pondering for a long time, Zhou Yan suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"There it is."

He came up with a very good script for a short film, not only short, but also easy to shoot.
