On April 10, on the side of the road at the entrance of Jiangjuntuo Chidi Middle School, a lot of villagers from Jiangjuntuo gathered to take pictures, and they were joining in the fun.

Many villagers have also participated in the filming of "Tree Hole" before, so they are no strangers to making movies.

But it's a pity that "Spring of the Cattle Herding Class" is different from "Tree Hole", and basically no local villagers are used as group performers.

Today is the first day of filming, and most of the people in the village have come out to join in the fun.

The first shot of the movie is when the actor Zhou Xuewen came to Chidi Middle School in a car.

Watching the actor get out of the car from a distance, some villagers began to talk.

"Why does this actor look so familiar? What have you acted? ”

"It seems to be Jyl."

"Song Dacheng."

"It's all an actor."

"Why do you feel fat? It's not like in the movie. ”

"Maybe you're getting fat."

"The big star has become famous, and the food is definitely better than before."

"That's for sure, I look at the food of their crew, and I can see meat every day."

"You've been to see them for food?"

"It's a pity that I can't perform a group performance this time, otherwise I can still rub the food of their crew."

"It's not, this little director surnamed Zhou is very good, I saw him last time when "Tree Hole" was filmed."

"What a small director, that's the big director Zhou Yan, he was the screenwriter of "Tree Hole" last time, and he was very good."

"Look young."

"Just looking young, I heard that he is in his forties."

"Tut, I'm in my forties, I really can't see it."

"The people in the city are better than the other, and Zhao Yazhi, who plays the White Lady, is not also in her forties, and she looks like she is in her early twenties."

"That's just as well."

……

Zhou Yan didn't know that he was already in his forties in other people's mouths, and he was next to Zhao Fei, looking at Li Xuejian who was coming in the direction of the camera.

When Li Xuejian walked to the school gate, Zhou Yan shouted, "Pass." ”

After Zhou Yan shouted "pass", there was no need to command, and the staff began to move, ready to take the next shot.

Because of the large number of cameras, the camera crew does not need to move much, and can quickly connect to the next shot.

At this time in the middle, Hong Xin and the others hurried to touch up Li Xuejian's makeup.

Li Xuejian stood still, letting Hong Xin and them operate on his face, and at the same time, he was also sighing in his heart, on the first day of filming, he felt the shooting style of this crew.

Compact, it's too compact, there is no rustiness of a young director at all, and the connection between each shot is very smooth, and there is no delay at all.

The various departments of the crew are very familiar with each other, and most of the time, Zhou Yan doesn't need to speak, and the people below know what they need to do next.

It can be seen that these people should have followed Zhou Yan for a long time and know Zhou Yan very well.

It is normal for big directors to have their own teams, but Li Xuejian didn't expect Zhou Yan to make two movies, and the team would be so mature.

Listening to the conversation of these people in the crew in private, I can feel that they really respect Zhou Yan from the bottom of their hearts. When the director is so popular, the film can easily be made well, if nothing else, at least it will be very efficient.

And when most of the crew is only looking at the director, there will basically be no intrigue to cause internal friction.

Several assistant directors of the director team also have unique skills, especially Wang Xiaoshuai, Li Xuejian feels that even if Zhou Yan is not there, Wang Xiaoshuai can complete the filming of the movie independently.

Of course, this also has to do with a well-written storyboard.

Looking at Zhou Yan's storyboard, Li Xuejian even has an inflated self-confidence, thinking that he can also make a movie with a storyboard.

The preparation of this film is really in place, and most of the problems that should be solved were solved during the preparation.

After a few shots in the morning, Zhou Yan walked up to Li Xuejian and said with concern, "Teacher Li, can you afford to eat?" ”

Li Xuejian wiped the sweat from his face and said with a smile, "Director Zhou's words are underestimated, and today's shooting intensity is not enough for me to bear." ”

Although the density of this morning's shooting is high, the intensity is not high, and there is no physical effort, it is just that the sun is bigger, the clothes are thicker, and it is hotter.

Li Xuejian has been filming for so many years and has encountered a lot of difficult environments, and today's intensity is naturally a piece of cake.

Zhou Yan smiled, "I saw that you have grown a lot of meat during this time, and I am worried that you are afraid of heat." ”

In order to better shape the role of Zhou Xuewen, Li Xuejian deliberately ate fat, and he grew more than ten pounds during this time.

In fact, Zhou Yan didn't ask him, although Zhou Xuewen was set to be slightly blessed in the script, Zhou Yan felt that Li Xuejian's body shape was not a problem.

However, after thinking about it for a while, Li Xuejian felt that it was better for Zhou Xuewen to grow more meat.

He has gained more than a dozen pounds, while Zhu Lin has lost more than a dozen pounds, and many people in the crew joked that their crew obeys the law of conservation of fat, and the fat that Zhu Lin lost was made up by Li Xuejian.

Li Xuejian wiped his sweat again, "After gaining weight, I am indeed more afraid of heat, but it's okay, the weather is not hot now." ”

The weather in April is indeed not hot, mainly because Li Xuejian is wearing more now.

"Okay, take a break, it's much better to have an indoor play in the afternoon."

……

Chidi Middle School originally had a cafeteria, so cooking was very simple, but the crew's meals were separated from those in the cafeteria.

After eating, Zhou Yan went back to the dormitory for a lunch break.

As soon as he lay down on the bed, he heard someone outside shouting, "Director Zhou, it's not good, the students are fighting." ”

Hearing that someone was fighting, Zhou Yan hurriedly turned over and walked out of the door.

The one who came to call him was Cui Yongxin, a very down-to-earth person, but he often had no ideas.

Seeing his anxious white face, Zhou Yan said, "Xiao Cui, don't worry, tell me what the situation is." ”

While speaking, Zhou Yan did not stop, and walked in the direction of the school with Cui Yongxin.

"It's Li Haining and Xu Jinfan, they were both on a lunch break, and they didn't know why they started fighting."

"Did you pull it down?"

"When I left, I was pulling."

Zhou Yan nodded, didn't ask again, and quickened his pace in the direction of the teaching building.

After a while, he arrived at the classroom.

At this time, the classroom was in a mess, the students were all leaning on the side, Li Haining and Xu Jinfan were pulled in the two corners of the classroom, both of them were not convinced, and they were scolding each other while trying to break away.

"Li Haining, you are a son of a bitch, don't sneak attack if you have the ability."

"Xu Cannon, fuck your mother, Lao Tzu will still beat you all over the ground if you don't sneak attack."

"What the ......"

There were a few people from the crew who were pulling and persuading at the side, but the two children were in a red state at this time, and they couldn't hear the persuasion of others at all.

Zhou Yan stood at the door and listened for a while, and suddenly laughed, Li Haining, this kid is quite bold, and he dared to fight with Xu Jinfan.

Xu Jinfan is a "bully", tall and smoking, which is his role in the movie and his own situation.

Although Li Haining is not small, he is one size smaller than Xu Jinfan, and if he really fights, Li Haining will not be able to take any advantage.

Seeing Zhou Yan laughing, Cui Yongxin was stunned, Director Zhou, what is the situation, the students are fighting, what is he happy about?

Listening to the two students scolding for a while, Zhou Yan raised his feet and walked into the classroom.

"Director Zhou is here."

Someone shouted.

Hearing that Zhou Yan was coming, Li Haining and Xu Jinfan both restrained a lot and no longer scolded, but they still looked at each other angrily, eager to eat each other.

After entering, Zhou Yan looked at the two of them, and after making sure that there were no injuries on their faces, he asked, "Who did it first?" ”

"Him." Xu Jinfan immediately pointed at Li Haining.

The latter didn't refute it, but said, "He scolded me first." ”

"What did he scold you?"

"Scold me ......"

Facing Zhou Yan, Li Haining suddenly couldn't say those scolding words.

Zhou Yan said with a smile, "Didn't I hear you scold you quite badly just now, why can't you say it now?" ”

"I ......"

"You don't need to explain anything to me, I'm asking you now, do you remember how many times you were beaten just now?"

Xu Jinfan immediately said, "I was hit three times in the back, arms, and thighs, but I only hit him twice." ”

Zhou Yan asked Li Haining, "Do you recognize what Xu Jinfan said?" ”

"Yes." Li Haining nodded.

"Since you can admit it, there is only one in my place, a tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye. At that moment when you scolded each other just now, no matter what they were, even if it was offset, but Xu Jinfan scolded Li Haining first, then Li Haining scolded back, Li Haining hit Xu Jinfan more, and Xu Jinfan returned it. ”

"Li Haining, what Xu Jinfan scolded you just now, you are scolding the past now. When you're done scolding, stand still and give him a beating. ”

Xu Jinfan raised his head and said, "You scold." ”

Li Haining bit his lip for a while, but finally didn't scold, he gritted his teeth and said, "I won't scold, let you fight." ”

Zhou Yan nodded, "In that case, Xu Jinfan, come here." ”

The person next to him let go of Xu Jinfan, he walked over, Zhou Yan pointed at Li Haining and said to him, "Except for the head, you can fight anywhere else, come on." ”

"I-" Xu Jinfan raised his hand and was about to fight, but when his hand was raised in mid-air, he just couldn't wave it.

Li Haining stood still like this and beat him, he always felt uncomfortable.

And everyone next to him is watching, if he is defeated, it will be too faceless, and others will think that he is a bully.

Zhou Yan looked at Xu Jinfan with a smile, he knew Xu Jinfan's mind too well, even if he was a person who often bullied people, he would be afraid that others would say that he was a bully.

Zhou Yan has also seen students who are really bad to the bone, that kind of person is difficult to change through education, but Xu Jinfan obviously does not belong to this category, he is an adolescent with a bad temper and a more rebellious temper.

Seeing that Xu Jinfan didn't move, Zhou Yan said again, "It's okay, you just fight, don't have any psychological burden." Li Haining gave up the opportunity to scold you, it was his own choice, and it had nothing to do with you. ”

Xu Jinfan still didn't move, Zhou Yan raised his hand and looked at his watch, "Give you ten seconds, when the time comes, if you don't fight, even if you abstain." ”

"Ten, Nine......"

When Zhou Yan was counting down, everyone in the classroom looked at Xu Jinfan's hand raised in mid-air, waiting for Xu Jinfan to make a decision.

The numbers are getting smaller and smaller, and the atmosphere at the scene is getting more and more tense, especially Xu Jinfan, who is tense.

And Zhou Yan's tone did not change at all, like a robot, counting down second by second.

“…… Three, two, one. ”

After counting the last number, Zhou Yan said, "Xu Jinfan, put your hand down." ”

Hearing Zhou Yan's words, Xu Jinfan breathed a long sigh of relief.

However, he still couldn't help but say cruelly, "Li Haining, I will spare ...... this time"

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Yan said coldly, "Xu Jinfan, don't be a coward who takes advantage of his mouth." And so it is, and none of you owe it to anyone. If you are not convinced, the next time you encounter this situation, don't pretend to be generous. ”

Xu Jinfan pursed his lips and didn't speak again, just tilted his head again.

Zhou Yan waved his hand, "Let's disperse, next time if you make trouble again, don't pick this kind of time, it's best to wait until I finish sleeping." ”

After speaking, Zhou Yan turned around and walked out of the classroom, and Cui Yongxin hurriedly followed.

After walking out of the teaching building, Cui Yongxin looked back at the direction of the classroom, and then asked Zhou Yan, "Director Zhou, how can you conclude that Xu Jinfan's slap will not go down?" ”

Zhou Yan glanced at Cui Yongxin, "I can't say for sure." ”

"Huh?" Cui Yongxin was stunned.

Zhou Yan smiled, "What if you beat it, it's just a slap, can you be killed?" ”

"It's definitely not going to be killed, but it's ......"

"There's nothing about this and that, the lunch break is relatively short, go back and rest, otherwise you won't have energy in the afternoon, and you'll be busy until late tonight."

With that, Zhou Yan went straight back to his dormitory.

Cui Yongxin looked at Zhou Yan's back from behind, and couldn't help touching his head, he called Director Zhou over, thinking that Director Zhou would judge the case on the spot, at least ask about the specific reasons, such as why Xu Jinfan scolded Li Haining, whether they had any conflicts before, and so on.

But Zhou Yan's solution was very rude, and he even let the two sides scold and beat each other.

Fortunately, the result is not bad, if Xu Jinfan's slap really goes down, he really doesn't know what to do, can these two children stay in the same classroom in the future?

Zhou Yan asked Cui Yongxin to go back to rest, but after he returned to the dormitory, he did not rest, but sat at his desk and studied a few shots to be taken this afternoon.

Although he has studied these shots many times, Zhou Yan is still willing to study more, review the old and learn the new, some familiar things can not be cooked, watch it a few times, and some new ideas may also arise.

……

In the afternoon, Zhou Xuewen was filmed for the first time in the classroom, and the naughty students made Zhou Xuewen embarrassed, and in the end, the principal came over to suppress the students.

Originally, I thought it would be easy to let the children fight, but when they actually filmed, they found that these students' fights were too deliberate and not natural at all.

After filming for a while, Zhou Yan walked up to Wang Xiaoshuai and whispered a few words to him, and then Wang Xiaoshuai said to the students, "This shot is here, you rest first, don't run around when we are not there." ”

After that, the crew withdrew, and the students were left in the classroom.

After a long time, there was a commotion in the classroom.

Zhou Yan heard it outside, smiled, and said to Zhao Fei, "Let's go." ”

The camera crew held the camera and walked towards the classroom.

When I arrived in the hallway, the camera slowly shifted in the direction of the classroom, and through the glass window on the door, I could see that the students inside were already playing like crazy, which was much more natural than when I was shooting just now.

After this set of shots, Zhou Yan beckoned to Li Xuejian and signaled that he was about to play.

Li Xuejian nodded, took a breath, and walked towards the classroom.

At this time, a student in the classroom saw Li Xuejian and the camera coming in the direction of the classroom through the window, and immediately turned around and shouted, "It's coming, it's coming." ”

The camera followed Li Xuejian into the classroom, and the students had returned to their places and were much quieter.

At this point, the front shots have been completed, and they left two cameras in it just now, so there are still scenes of slapsing inside, but the shots of the students teasing Li Xuejian can't be filmed like this, although these students are naughty, but they don't really dare to tease Li Xuejian, these shots can only rely on acting.

Seeing this posture, the students also realized that they had been deceived by the crew just now.

Some students can't help but regret that they would not have made trouble if they had known.

……

The filming in the next few days went quite smoothly, although the students always caused a little trouble, but Zhou Yan often gave them some unique skills, and even deceived them to guide their emotions.

For example, in the scene where Xu Jinfan smoked, Zhou Yanzhen first taught Xu Jinfan a lesson, and then Xu Jinfan smoked angrily in the corridor alone, and when he entered the state, Zhao Fei and they were like assassins, and they went directly to start filming.

On the fifth day of filming, Zhou Yan received a call from Zhang Youan.

"The Backstreet Boys' recording of "Yellow" has been sent to the studio, you have time to listen to it, and give a reply after listening, they are waiting."

"Wait a few days, the shooting is not bad during this time, and I am not ready to go back yet."

Now the whole crew is in good shape, and everyone's work spirit is also very good, and it is not yet time to take a holiday, so Zhou Yan is definitely unwilling to rest at this time.

Once the state is broken, it is easy to not be able to find it, and it will be troublesome when the time comes.

"Okay, it's still important to have a movie, and it's not bad these days anyway."

"Well, I remember that."

"Okay, there's one more thing, Shizuka Kudo will hold a concert in Yanjing at the beginning of next month, invite you as a guest, go up and play the piano, you ...... about it"

"Promise them, the appearance fee is more."

"Okay, I'll go to Ogi Production. Your after-sales service is so good, you have to let Ogi make some blood. ”

Zhou Yan smiled, in fact, he had promised Kudo Shizuka to be a guest at the concert before, and now Ogi Productions is invited, and it is just a process.
