China Entertainment’s rescue plan is hard to come by

Chapter 160 Booting up [[-]-in-[-]]

During the entire New Year period, Sun Yi stayed in his hometown in Northeast China until the fifth day of the first lunar month, and then returned to the capital.

After spending another two days preparing, Yang Fan, Senior Brother Liu, and half of the crew, including assistant Xiaoting, formed the vanguard.On the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, we officially set off for Qiannan.

Duyun City is located in the eastern part of southern Qianzhou. It has a long history. Although it is a mountain city, it has convenient transportation, relatively developed roads and railways, and a pleasant climate. In the first month, the average temperature reaches about 10 degrees, which makes it easy for everyone to follow. The crew members who came from the capital city felt very comfortable.

The hotel the crew stayed in was a three-star hotel. It was near the Xishan Bridge where the filming was taken, and next to the Jianjiang River. You could overlook the river view and the environment was very good.

This was specially booked in advance by Yang Fan according to Sun Yi's request, and it covered two floors.

Since the crew is filming in the city and has this convenient condition, there is no need to worry about the accommodation. The big guy will follow Sun Yi and go out to work in the first month of the year. The food, clothing, housing and transportation must be arranged properly, and not let everyone Chilling.

Besides, the budget is not left over from this.

That night, Sun Yi was not organizing any tasks and arranged for everyone to settle down separately. After all, they had also taken a pair of trains to the sky, so they were already very tired.

The next day, the person in charge of China Film Group arrived.

Sun Yi and Yang Fan greeted him together.

"Hey, Director Wang."

"Haha, Director Xiao Sun."

Sun Yi quickly stepped forward to shake hands.

"No, no, no, no, please call me Xiao Sun, Xiao Yi, and get closer to me."

"Haha, good, good."

Sun Yi did not expect that the specific person in charge of the China Film Group arrangement would be Wang Bo. Logically speaking, he was the deputy director of the office, and this production job should have nothing to do with him.

After asking around later, I found out that Wang Bo also had a temporary job in the production department, and there were no procedural problems.Moreover, it would be convenient for him to come to the site to communicate. After all, the office belongs to the secretarial department directly under Han Sanping, so it will be more convenient to communicate with other functional departments.

"In the evening, I made an appointment with the local leaders. You come with me to meet them. I will build a bridge for you and pave the way for you. The rest of the specific shooting is up to you. I can't stay too long. , the group has other tasks."

"Don't worry, Brother Wang, I understand this and I'm very grateful."

It would be great to be able to talk directly to the relevant departments. Although we have already communicated with the government departments, the county magistrate is not as good as taking charge now. When filming, any small link will hinder you or delay you for a while, and it will be enough for the entire project. The crew drank a bottle.Mainly, it's something that can be solved over a drink, so there's nothing wrong with it.

That night, Sun Yi chose a well-known local restaurant and hosted a banquet for several leaders.

"Xiao Yi, this is Director Zhang from the Duyun City Culture and Tourism Bureau, and this is Director Niu from the Duyun City Public Security Bureau."

"This is the director of our movie, Sun Yi."

Just after eight o'clock in the evening, Wang Bo led two middle-aged people with a big belly into the private room and made introductions.

Why introduce the Bureau of Culture and Tourism first? Because film shooting is under their direct control, and the public security department only cooperates.

"Hello, Director Zhang, hello Director Niu."

"Director Xiao Sun, hello, hello."

"Oh, Director Xiao Sun is really young and promising."

"No, no, the leader is too polite. Come on, please take a seat."

The main host arrived and the meal began. Wang Bo frequently raised topics during the dinner and enlivened the atmosphere from time to time. Sun Yi and Yang Fan also took turns to follow, never leaving their words behind and never leaving their hands.

"Director Zhang, on behalf of the entire crew of "The Unknown", I would like to toast you and thank you for your support and care for our crew."

"Hey, where are you? It's your responsibility. Besides, your crew being able to shoot a movie in our Duyun City is also a promotion for our city. In this way, I also need to thank you."

"Hahaha"

These days are not like later generations. The development of domestic tourism is far from developed and the methods are not diverse enough. The main promotion methods still rely on movies and TV.

Sun Yi's crew can choose to shoot in Duyun, which is indeed a promotion for local tourism.

"Director Niu, there are several parts of our movie that require the help of our police comrades. I hope you will take care of us when the time comes."

"For small matters, as long as they are fair publicity, our public security team is duty-bound."

At the wine table, while drinking and drinking, the matter was discussed in detail, not only asking for people, but also asking for land, but it was pretty much the same. The two directors patted their chests and expressed their opinions. If you encounter any problems, feel free to contact them. .

Sun Yi drank a lot during this banquet, but the effect was great. In the next few days, the crew's preparations went very smoothly, and the relevant departments of the community and streets at the shooting location cooperated fully.

The company that the crew rented vehicles was also contacted by the local traffic police department, which was very reliable.

The public security department even dispatched two police officers to directly follow the crew to prevent criminals from disturbing the crew's daily filming work.

"Xiao Yi, we are almost ready. We can notify the actors to join the group."

"Brother Fan, what's today's number?"

There were so many things happening on the crew these days that Sun Yi was a little confused.

"March [-]rd, the [-]th day of the first lunar month."

Sun Yi thought about it for a moment and said, "Let's do this, Brother Fan, let everyone join the group on the 15th. Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival on the [-]th of the first lunar month, so everyone can have a good holiday at home."

Yang Fan thought for a while and felt that this was also the case, and that the last two days were not enough, so he nodded in agreement.

"Okay, let everyone have a good holiday."

"By the way, have you calculated the launch date?"

"Ah, still have to settle?"

"Of course, the worst you can do is look through the almanac."

"Uh, yes."

Sun Yi really forgot about this matter. It was the first time that he took full control of a crew. Everything was down to the smallest detail. It was easy to overlook some problems because he was still not experienced enough.

Yang Fan asked for an almanac from the hotel.

"You told me before that you wanted to decide when to come?"

"Well, March [-]th, what do you think? Is that okay?"

Yang Fan turned over the pages and frowned slightly.

"Xiaoyi, it's not a good time to turn on your phone that day."

Sun Yi was a little puzzled. Yang Fan came over and pointed at the notebook and said:
"Look at what is written here. It is forbidden to open a business, break ground, or lay a foundation on the Guimao day of the Guimao month of the year Dinghai. You cannot start the machine the day after tomorrow..."

As he spoke, he turned over two more pages:
"How about NO.12? The Yisi day of the Guimao lunar month in the year of Dinghai is suitable for collecting wealth, opening a business, opening the market, and opening the market. Everything goes smoothly and there are no taboos. Well, it is best to be during the Gengchen period. How about this day?"

"Ah, okay, when is Gengchen hour?"

"Seven to nine in the morning."

"Oh, oh, okay, let's settle on this."

Sun Yi still agreed with the idea of ​​auspicious days in the zodiac. He did not think it was feudal dross.Of course, it was rational recognition. Sun Yi was opposed to those who used these things to defraud and make money.

If conditions permit, of course you should choose an auspicious day. After all, it is also an important part of Chinese traditional culture.

Moreover, there are indeed some things that are so magical that they cannot be explained by science.

On March [-]th, just after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, all the cast and crew were in place. "Uncle Zhang, Sister Xun, Brother Yi, Teacher Wang"

"Xiao Yi, director Xiao Sun, director."

"First of all, welcome everyone to the crew of "The Unknown". Please take a rest today. The third floor is the actors' room, with their names on the doors. Dinner will be served in the banquet hall on the second floor of the hotel. There will be meetings starting tomorrow. The local dialect teacher will teach you the dialect, please study it carefully and try to master it in the shortest time."

"The film will be officially launched on March [-], one week later. This period of time is the time for everyone to adapt to and learn the local dialect."

"This is Yang Fan, the producer of this film, and this is my assistant Xiaoting. Teachers, if you can't find me for anything, you can contact them. Okay, nothing happens. Please Go back and rest early."

Sun Yi held a brief meeting with the actors for a few minutes and arranged for everyone to go back to rest.

A group of actors, some coming alone, some with their assistants, went upstairs one after another.

"Yeah, yeah, it's quite stylish."

Without looking, Sun Yi knew that it must be Yang Mi who dared to talk to him like this.

"What, do you have an opinion?"

"Being a director is different. I have become more assertive and don't even say hello when I meet. The world is getting worse."

Yang Mi was thinking to herself.

Sun Yi shook his head helplessly and pointed a finger at her.

"You choose a meal."

"okay!"

Yang Mi suddenly beamed, patted Sun Yi on the shoulder, and pulled the suitcase upstairs with a smile.

In the next few days, not only the actors, but also the director Sun Yi also learned the local dialect.

When Sun Yi in his previous life first watched this movie, he thought it was in the Sichuan dialect. Later, after careful review, he discovered that it was in the Guizhou dialect.

The Shu dialect and the Qian dialect sound very similar at first, but after getting to know them better, I find that there are still many differences.

First, the accents are different. The accents of the Guizhou dialect are mostly gentle, while the rhythm of the Sichuan dialect is more obvious.

Second, the wording is different. The Shu dialect has a common modal particle "Sa", which is similar to the usage of "Bai" in Mandarin. In most areas of Guizhou dialect, there is only "Ma".The modal particle "Dema" in Shu dialect is not available in most places.

Moreover, people from Shu say the same thing as people from Guizhou.

Another thing is that the Shu dialect uses more overlapping words, such as cup - cup cup, bug - worm, etc., while the Guizhou dialect has a heavier nasal sound.

Sun Yi was born in the Northeast. Fortunately, his language talent was not bad. After studying for a few days, he could already communicate in the local dialect.

The entire crew, who only spoke Mandarin at the beginning, has now become locals. The waiters at the hotel were very surprised. These actors are really amazing and they can change at any time.

On March [-]th, the opening ceremony of "The Unknown".

There were also many reporters at the scene, a rough count of about twenty. In addition to the local media, there were also reporters from the China Film Channel and some other entertainment tabloids.

Of course, this time they came not for Sun Yi, but for Zhang Guoli and Zhou Xun.

The same was true during the interview, basically asking questions around the two of them.

"Teacher Guoli, why did you choose to star in this movie?"

"Well, first of all, the script is very good. I like the story in it very much, and I am also very optimistic about director Xiao Sun. I believe this film will bring a good experience to the audience."

"Teacher Zhou Xun, what kind of role will you play?"

"I play the heroine of this film, a high-level paraplegic."

Zhou Xun only gave a brief introduction and said no more with a smile, obviously not wanting to reveal more of the plot.

All major media went to interview the two leading actors, and only some entertainment tabloids focused on Sun Yi.

"Hello, Director Sun Yi, how did you hire these two teachers?"

"Just be sincere."

"Then do you think, as a new director, you can control the crew?"

This reporter obviously had bad intentions and wanted to stir up a topic.

Sun Yi smiled and replied to her slowly:

"This journalist friend, although it is my first time to be a director, I have already participated in two films as a screenwriter and assistant director. First of all, I would like to thank the two teachers for their trust in me, and I am also confident that I can make this film a director. The movie is very well done.”

Yang Fan intervened at the right time and pulled away the reporters.

"Okay, okay, thank you all friends from the media for your interviews. The auspicious time for our movie has arrived. The crew will be filming directly soon, so it will be inconvenient to accept interviews. We have prepared some small gifts for you. Please follow me."

After the start-up ceremony, the crew began to clear the set. There were filming tasks today. The first scene was the scene of the male protagonist Ma Xianyong at the construction site.

Ma Xianyong worked as a security guard to help his boss look after the construction site. However, the boss ran away because he refused to pay back the money he owed. When the creditor found the construction site, Ma Xianyong blocked him, and a conflict broke out between the two parties.

This scene can reflect the character and persistence of the male protagonist Ma Xianyong.He took money from his boss, and no matter what, he had to fulfill his accusations and take good care of the construction site.

While everyone was getting ready, Zhang Guoli had already put on makeup, with a sallow complexion, a black and white beard, and a dirty and crooked security uniform. The image of a frustrated middle-aged man suddenly emerged.

Sun Yi was communicating with the extras. There was a dangerous scene in today's scene, where the male protagonist Ma Xianyong was put into a sack and hung in the air by a crane.

"After a while, after lifting it up, you should make some struggling movements, but not too violently. Safety first, just right."

"Director, I'll do it myself, just to get a feel for it."

Sun Yi looked back and saw that it was Zhang Guoli.

"Uncle Zhang, this is quite tall, about five or six meters. Otherwise, we should use a substitute."

"What, is there a safety risk?"

"Of course not. I've checked it all. There are two layers of sacks and an extra set of steel ropes. There is definitely no problem in terms of safety. It's just that the height is not low, considering your age."

The safety is definitely safe, but after all, it is still at this height, and it is still packed in a sack. When the time comes, it will be fooling around in the sky, which will make anyone feel a little timid.

"Why, I feel like I'm getting old. Where can I go now? Come on."

Seeing Zhang Guoli's determined face, Sun Yi couldn't say anything else.

He knew in his heart that this was the first scene, and the whole crew was here. Zhang Guoli wanted to use his experience to give the crew a good start, and at the same time set an example for other young actors.

"Props, check the protective measures again."

"Director Sun, it's no problem."

"All departments are ready, and the actors are in place."

"Crane, get up."

"The first scene of "The Unknown", Action."
