I'm the director, I'm not bad

Chapter 468

With a flick of a finger, April came to an end.

This year's May [-]st Golden Week, due to the extension of the statutory holiday, the national tourism industry has suddenly entered a full-load stage.

Wherever you go, there are people.

Not to mention natural scenic spots, even man-made scenic spots, such as Hengdian and Xiangshan film and television cities, are also overcrowded.

Because of the influx of tourists, many production crews had to temporarily stop their filming progress to make way for tourists.Otherwise, many exterior scenes of the crew would not be able to proceed. When a star comes out, hundreds of people will watch, and no one can stand it.

And it's not just the production crews in these big film and television cities who are affected by these tourists, even a small place like Yuan'an, which is not well-known, also received the first wave of tourists because of "The Hawthorn Tree".

As for the exact number of these tourists... that's hard to count.

But the hotels in the entire county, large and small, are almost full, which is true.

At first, Xu Xin didn't realize how serious the situation was.

Hearing this, Duan Heng, the drama manager who came with Xue Yong, shook his head directly:

Xue Yong nodded to express his understanding:
"it is good."

People, more than ever.

Either someone was walking around in the camera, or someone turned into the school and hid his head in the classroom watching the shooting scene.

And Xu Xin looked at the caller and connected the call directly:

The three of them left the room together.

Pray for this bunch of good-hearted people who shined in the darkness of despair and redeemed their small family like the Holy Spirit...

"Can't shoot, Director Xu. When we passed in the afternoon, the car couldn't even enter the village."

On the contrary, it was Xue Yong who corrected and said to Duan Heng:

"On the 8th, on the 8th, your sister Mi is going back to participate in the Yanjing College Student Film Festival. You can contact her directly... I will accept the IOU. But you have to tell the people at home. Don't put too much pressure on it. ..."

"...What do you mean? There are many people?"

Seeing Xu Xin's tone as if nothing happened, Nazha summoned up her courage and said:

The two assistant directors nodded at the same time:
"understood."

But who knew Xue Yong and Zhang Mo would give feedback in the afternoon.

The phone hangs up.

"..."

Instant showdown, incarnate as a black-hearted capitalist:
"Equipment rental, no money. But the film needs to be coordinated with the county. Today, "Guest on the Iceberg" can be shown to them. But I ask for this, and they also have to send people, completely obeying Guo Fan and the others. , protect our filming location. You can call and communicate now, if it works, then let them go now and let the village chief arrange board and lodging."

"Wow!!!!"

moment.

"Well, let's all get busy."

"what?"

The comrades of the policemen struggled to maintain order.

At this time, Duan Heng spoke again:
"There's one more thing...it's up to you."

As a result, the cigarette has become an empty box.

　Readers who have seen the easter egg chapter know that my computer really blew up last night.However, because something happened before, I went to sleep directly, and tried again when I got up this morning, and it turned on.However, I just wrote 100 words when I turned it on, and the power was cut off.

No one came to comfort me.

"That's fine...Brother Yong, let's talk to everyone. The production team will rest for the next two days... Let everyone relax and relax. Objective conditions do not allow it, so we won't force it...But the weather forecast must be managed well, Also, let's compare the next shooting process in a while.

a peaceful life.

Xiehe is a first-class hospital in the country, and the hospital beds are really tight.

Crying, praying to the gods and Buddhas all over the sky.

"...It's okay, the equipment can be given. But I'm afraid they won't understand."

"Since this Golden Week is so lively, then we have to make the leaders of Qinglong Village and Yuan'an County look good. It's definitely not possible to make serious scenes. You can arrange it again, and Yuan'an Contact people around. The crew can cooperate with them to appear in some places they need in these two days.

"It's just... my mother... and my sister... Our family wants to thank you in person. My sister just flew a flight to Beijiang yesterday and brought a lot of special products. It's a little heart from us..."

These people hold cameras and stand outside the school. When they see Lin Juxin or Liu Yifei appearing, they will yell. Comrades from the police and the drama staff cooperate with each other and hold up the horn to ask everyone to "don't make noise". .

For a moment, Xu Xin didn't know what to say.

The next step is simple.

"The secretary of the village party committee told me that he wanted to borrow the old movie projection equipment that our crew used to shoot the movie show. The young people in the village gave him a suggestion, saying that it was something... nostalgic movie theme Special session. Pull those tourists over to experience it, saying that it is 50 yuan per head..."

But the problem is... the conditions over there may not meet the shooting conditions.

Holding the phone, under the gaze of her mother and sister, the tears in the girl's eyes could no longer hold back.

"...What about people?"

But on May 5st, when he was preparing to film the scene where Jing Qiu helped the school renovate the playground during the summer vacation, he realized that something was wrong when he found that he couldn't disperse the normally cooperative crowd no matter what.

　　That's all for today... hey.Bad January.

All actors and crew members were exhausted physically and mentally.

"Okay, isn't the situation better? Tell your family that you don't have to worry about it."

From time to time, someone will come to disturb.

The moment she hung up the phone, she sat on the bed in a small family hotel next to the hospital, curled her legs, buried her face deeply in her knees, and released the fear and pressure that had been lingering in her heart for many days.

Although the progress of "The Hawthorn Tree" is ideal, it is more difficult to maintain the state of the actors, and the sooner the state is completed, the better.

All morning, not a single scene was filmed.

He temporarily put down the work at hand, and sat on the sofa showing a helpless look.

"Xu... Director Xu."

Doodle.

If the crew can go to shoot at this time, the people in Qinglong Village will definitely welcome it.

　　After waiting for 5 minutes, I didn't believe in evil, and turned on the phone.I wrote another hundred words.Snapped……

Not even a favor.

"Explain the situation with the actor?"

"Om, hum, hum..."

During this period, the little girl's father could not be discharged from the hospital.

"Well, let's say. Tell them to just go through the motions and cooperate with each other. These few days... Let's arrange it like this. Help Yuan'an publicize it and make it famous. Everyone has worked hard for a few days. When the Golden Week is over, it just happens I'm going to the expo..."

"Need not."

When he chose to help her save her father, he had no intention of asking for the money.

"Director Xu..."

　　When I got home, I hurriedly wrote so much.But the writing is very awkward. Firstly, all the files are not backed up, so I have to take this computer to someone else tomorrow to find it.The second is the input method, coding software, fonts, etc... Anyway, it is uncomfortable to use the new computer.

But at this time, seeing that there were more people, all kinds of unqualified people appeared, so he just made a decision:

Seeing this, he directly opened the drawer, took three bags of Zhonghua, and lost one bag to Xue Yong and Duan Heng.

During this period of time, some people from the production team were in Yuan'an, and at the same time went to Qinglong Village... Especially Qinglong Village, we must work with the village chief to protect our filming location, and we must not let tourists ruin it.Especially those important filming locations... You can find a few people in a while. "

As for the specific plan, let them think for themselves.We only shoot movies, so that tourists can watch and help them promote.But this scale... Sister Mo, you can decide for yourself. "

Before the meeting, Xu Xin said:
"Director Zhang, do you know the doctor from Xiehe? I have an ICU patient here who wants to go there for heart surgery."

"What about the village? Are there many people?"

"What are you doing? You really caught a few fat sheep and plucked their wool to death? Did you agree?"

Xu Xin has done everything he should.

　　I went directly to the computer with the machine to repair it, but it didn't work after changing the power supply.In addition, I bought this computer in 18 years, so it should be replaced.I'm going straight to get a new computer.

"..."

It suddenly occurred to him that there were so many "practice dogs" who were useless, so he stopped pretending.

Although it was a bit shabby, everyone went to have a big banquet.When I passed by, I took a look. There were cars inside and out, and the tourists were full. It looked like a running water mat.And the fish ponds are also open... It seems that the village is planning to take advantage of this Golden Week and our popularity to directly make a fortune. "

So he said:

Duan Heng sighed:

Xue Yong responded:
"Okay, Director Xu."

He conveyed his best wishes for the girl in his heart, wishing her to be a good actress seriously, and conveyed it to the girl's heart in this way.

Prepare for surgery.

"Well, what happened?"

"There are men who pay for parking on the side of the road and guide the way, but most of them go to patrol the mountains. I found the village party secretary who stayed behind in the village and asked him. He said that he was afraid that tourists would go climbing the mountain. One inadvertently caused a mountain fire, and all the men in the village went to patrol the mountain.

Those women, grandma and aunts, all went to the nearby Hawthorn Garden.Although those hawthorn orchards are not yet out of hawthorn, Yuan'an has considered these when they started this eco-tourism. There are farmhouse facilities in several nearby hawthorn orchards...

Amidst the low sobs, Xu Xin, who really couldn't hear the girl wipe her tears, said:

"have a rest."

But if there is no IOU, sometimes it can't be separated too clearly.

His phone rang suddenly.

"..."

When the old man was on the set, the scene in Yuan'an County was filmed. At the beginning, the people in the county were also curious, and there were many onlookers.

Because they are crying too.

"..."

The old man felt that filming was nothing special. Although he didn't feel anything in his heart, he also felt that it was unnecessary to increase the police force or make it look like martial law.

Ding is Ding Mao is Mao.

Even Yuan'an is like this, if the news about their shooting in Qinglong Village leaks out... no, people here will definitely know about it.

"Oh...that's not a matter of crowds. On the road we enter the village, the private cars of elders and elders are already lined up. Those cars are all parked on the side of the road in a row. Then there are special people to collect fees... we When I went there, someone came over... 21 cars. Later, I still said that I was from the crew, so I didn’t pay the money.”

"Okay, let's just say that, take good care of your father, come on."

He is leaving soon.

Zhang Wu nodded:
"Okay, let me make a call, and you ask them to prepare the case and patient number information."

As for the rejection reaction... I can only say that I did my best and obeyed the destiny.

"You and Miss Mi... are you coming back this May Day?"

"That's definitely not the case. How can I dare if Director Xu doesn't nod?... But the village party secretary told me time and time again that I must apply to Director Xu..."

It's that simple.

"Probably tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, I will be released from the ICU and transferred to the general ward. Then... I am also queuing up now. If the doctor says the fastest, the operation will be possible next month. But the risk of rejection must make us prepare..."

"It's really unnecessary. You can save those things for your father to eat. As for the money..."

"..."

Looking down at the "Bite of the Tongue" material in his hand, Xu Xin said:
"How is your father?"

The corner of Xu Xin's mouth twitched.

However, Nazha's father, who was admitted to Xiehe, a hospital where there is no transfer procedure at all, and who completed the rescue in northern Xinjiang, is considered to have saved his life.

"There are not many people in the village, or basically there are no people, and they are all empty."

And starting from the 6th, he will go to Shanghai.

Even, comrades from the police came over to discuss with Xu Xin whether to increase the police force in the afternoon to maintain order.

"...Mmm. Director Xu...the kindness this time...I will repay you like a cow or a horse!"

That's even worse.

But all this was resolved after Zhang Wu made a phone call.

Someone was discussing whether to close the road, but the old man directly rejected it:
"When filming this kind of scene, don't block roads and mountains at every turn. Who do you think you are? The things you film are for the people to see, and everyone cooperates with each other. Don't finish the filming, and your reputation will be bad. Why bother."

Duan Heng quickly shook his head:

Line up and wait for the donor.

"Woooo..."

"Ha, no, it's not the old society... Okay, is there anything else?"

When Duan Heng said this, Xu Xin understood.

"...Yes, yes, brother, you are right. Anyway, there are quite a lot of people, and when we went, we saw the fork towards Qinglong Village. Several people were laying piles to erect a sign. When we passed, the sign was not erected Okay, some villagers stopped our car, and when the car window fell down, they asked: Are you going to the production team of "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree"? Are you going to lead the way?... When we came back, a big red sign was already standing on the side of the road: "The Hawthorn Tree" "Love"--Directors Zhang Yimou and Xu Xin filming location. A big arrow! It's conspicuous!"

Xu Xin, who was busy with various materials, line drafts, and scattered books, said casually:
"Well, how is it? Can it be filmed? If it can be filmed, first transport the equipment to the village chief."

He thought about it, and felt that he really had to issue an IOU.

"..."

In the morning, he felt that the tourists and the crew could cooperate with each other, so he started working normally.

Zhang Mo also nodded, wrote down his instructions, and added:

Note that it is not to cooperate with them to participate in activities.Instead, I went to some places to pretend to be filming, and went through a cutscene.To attract some tourists is to give them publicity.But it's limited to one episode a day, and you can ask a few questions about the news in Yuan'an's own county.Other news interviews will not be accepted.

While talking to himself, he wants to smoke.

Glancing at the caller, he waved his hand:
"Then let's go on vacation again."

"It's not salvaging a fortune. This is Yuan'an's eco-tourism strategy. To make money from tourism, as long as the price is fair, it's not a big salvage."

On May 5th, the World Expo opened, and he had to stay until the 10th, after attending the celebration banquet before returning.

"I won't go back. What? What's the matter?"

Golden Week ends on the 5th.

Hearing Xue Yong agree, suddenly, he thought of something, turned his head and said to Zhang Mo:

Xu Xin nodded:
"It's not easy for everyone to earn some extra money. The best time of the year is this May. Agreed, Brother Yong, you can handle this matter, and put the equipment... Well. Well, then, they can do it like this. It may not be possible to do it, let Guo Fan and the others go directly to the village to live until the end of the Golden Week. On the one hand, it is to maintain the film equipment, and on the other hand, it is to ask the villagers to maintain our filming location."

He waved his hand when a scene was not filmed, and said to Xue Yong:
"In the afternoon, let people go to see how the scenery in Qinglong Village is, especially the hawthorn tree. If it blooms... Tomorrow the crew will go to shoot over there, and let Yuan'an's scene be vacated first."

"Fifty??? That's the same price as a movie theater!"

On the day he returned from Shanghai, Nazha and his family arrived in Yanjing on the brothers' private plane and lived in Xiehe.

So I want to catch up with the progress before leaving.

Xu Xin was a little puzzled.

On the phone, Nazha's uneasy voice rang.

As soon as the news came out, tourists all rushed to Qinglong Village...

So he said:

It's not that he feels sorry for the money.

"No... huh? No, Director Xu, then... When will you come back, I will give you the things in person. My mother said that we must express our feelings in person. And the repayment of the money, we will return I want to give you an IOU..."

And next to her, whether it's a sister or a mother.

Speaking of this, he paused, and his tone softened:
"It's all about giving you your own fighting spirit. Don't you want to stand out? The college entrance examination is only a few days away. Work hard in the past two months to get admitted to Beijing Film Academy. After graduation, you will become an outstanding actor. Pay me back the money that came. Tell your family that you owe this money alone, and you will pay it back with your own salary in the future. As for other demolition of houses, land sales, loans, etc., I will not accept it. Understand me Do you mean it?"

"So...maybe we won't be able to shoot in a few days."

"Hey."

Before Xu Xin could speak, Xue Yong said dumbfoundedly:

　　As a result, at the beginning of the new year, the profiteer said that it was in stock and told me that it would be ready at two or three in the afternoon.After paying the money, what the hell did I wait until after 5 o'clock in the evening, and the most important motherboard was brought over.

　　After everything is done and the system is completed, the malls will be closed.

"Director Xu, our people are back."

And not only are there many people, there are also many foreign vehicles on the street that do not belong to the "E E" license plate.

However, this request was rejected by him.

　　Oh yes, I am so unlucky that I have to take my wife to the hospital for a brain CT tomorrow. She is still very dizzy due to the sequelae of the new crown, and my fucking nose has not recovered my sense of smell.

　　One word.

　　Capital letter.

　　clothes.
