China Entertainment’s rescue plan is hard to come by

Chapter 775: Everything is ready, officially started.

With Sun Yi's decision and the set shooting location, the main crew began to set out from the capital.

A group of more than a hundred people first chartered a plane to fly directly to Taiyuan, and then drove into the mountains and directly to the village.

In fact, if it is a normal shoot, so many people would not be needed, but there is no way, time is too tight, Sun Yi plans to carry out the preliminary preparations and the filming of the crew simultaneously.

The costume team brought 2 truckloads of clothes, all in the rural style of the s and s. Except for the costumes of a few leading actors that needed to be specially made, the costumes of the villagers and extras were basically ready.

The props team was even more ruthless. All members went out directly with tools and materials to modify the fellow villager's house on the spot.

Although the entire village has generally retained the style of the 1980s and 1990s, there are still some flaws in some angles and the furnishings in the houses, and these problems need to be re-addressed.

The more than 100 people in the crew account for almost one-third of the village.

The fellow villagers gave up their houses.

"Old Party Secretary, I'm really sorry that we've disturbed everyone's New Year celebrations."

Sun Yi and his men carried two boxes of good wine and a few packs of cigarettes and went to visit the village branch leader.

The old branch leader was in his fifties, with a head full of white hair. When he saw the gift, he refused to accept it and glared at Sun Yi.

"It's nothing. What are you doing? The county leaders have specifically told us to cooperate. The villagers are all locals. Every family has relatives here. It's easy to find a place to sleep under a tree."

"Besides, you guys gave them money, and the villagers are happy about it. We haven't had such a lively time here in decades."

"Take it back quickly, take it back. What a shame! It will only make me make mistakes."

The old branch stopped the crew and refused to let them put down the boxes.

Sun Yi took one look and decided not to accept the offer.

The crew didn't stay in the village for just one or two days. It took two months in total. Moreover, some scenes required mobilizing the villagers to help, so they definitely had to establish a good relationship with the branch.

Although the crew had already informed the county's cultural bureau before filming, the county magistrate is better off being in charge, as the more courtesy the better.

Sun Yi immediately stopped the old party secretary, and then gave a look, signaling the crew members to quickly put all the boxes in the house.

"Oh, old branch, it's not as serious as you say. Our crew will be here for many days, and we will have to trouble you again in the future. If you don't accept me, I will feel bad."

"That won't work. Just tell me what you have to say."

Seeing the things being stuffed into the house, the village branch secretary became anxious and turned around to move them out. Sun Yi quickly stopped him and said half jokingly and half threateningly:

"Things are things, matters are matters. If you still don't want to accept it, I'll take people to another place to shoot."

When the old branch secretary heard that Sun Yi wanted to move to another place, he had no choice.

The county leaders repeatedly warned him, telling him that this was a film crew from the capital and that the young man leading the crew was a nationally renowned director. The fact that the crew chose to shoot a movie here would be a great publicity not only for their village but also for their entire county, so they must keep them.

Thinking of this, the old branch secretary sighed helplessly.

"You don't look like a great director."

"Tell me, why don't you look like him?"

"How can a big director give something to an old man like me?"

Sun Yi laughed after hearing this, "Just treat me as a junior and wish you a happy new year in advance."

As soon as the things were delivered, the effect was indeed extraordinary. The old branch secretary brought several strong laborers from the village and stayed at the crew every day. Whenever they saw that the props group had any heavy work, they would rush to do it. They also recruited women from the village to take care of the meals for the entire crew.

Anyway, it's winter and farmers don't have much to do. Instead of chatting on the kang, they might as well come to the crew to have some fun.

Of course, Sun Yi didn't let everyone work for nothing. He paid them per person every day and never delayed payment. The village's renovation project was visibly accelerated.

On that day, Sun Yi, as usual, inspected the construction site of the props group several times, adjusted a few details, and then discussed with Li Ruijun to modify several storyboard scripts.

At noon, he took Li Ruijun and went straight to the village entrance.

After a while, a Mitsubishi SUV drove in from the winding road at the foot of the mountain.

The car stopped and a middle-aged woman wearing a light-colored down jacket and a scarf got out.

She is not tall, wears glasses, has short, slightly curly chestnut hair with a few silver streaks, and bright and gentle eyes.

Sun Yi raised his hands and stepped forward.

"Teacher Ge, welcome, welcome."

"Hello, Director Sun."

The visitor was the original author of the script, Mr. Ge Shuiping, vice president of the Xishan Province Writers Association.

After Sun Yi finished adapting the script, he sent a copy to Teacher Ge.

The original novel only wrote that the male protagonist Han Chong was taken away by the police, but Sun Yi added a plot at the end where Hongxia confessed her guilt, which greatly sublimated the relationship between the two.

After reading it, Professor Ge Shuiping expressed her approval, believing that Sun Yi's adaptation was even more sophisticated than that of the original author herself.

This time, the crew came to Xishan Province for on-site filming. As a native of Xishan, she insisted on coming to visit.

"Teacher Ge, we have also modified the timeline of the script. The relationship between Han Chong and Hongxia needs time to be laid out, and it just so happens that in the movie, the changing seasons can highlight it."

"Yes, you are very thoughtful. When I was writing this novel, I was actually more focused on the characters. I didn't write too much about the relationship between the two. In this regard, you can adjust it at any time according to the script. I have no objection."

In the original movie, the entire story takes place in one season, which doesn't make sense.

Hongxia was sold to La Hong by a connection since she was a child and suffered all kinds of grievances and torture. Although she has not lost hope in life, she should be cautious in her daily life. With such a character setting, it is impossible for her to fall in love with the male protagonist Han Chong at first sight.

Hongxia's feelings for Han Chong should have developed gradually bit by bit.

It started when she came to the mountain village and was beaten by La Hong, and Han Chong stood up to protect her.

Although the attempt to stop it was fruitless, it had already ingrained in Hongxia's heart. She thought Han Chong should be the first person to speak for her, and from then on she began to secretly pay attention to Han Chong.

Gradually, she discovered the kindness in Han Chong, and her young heart slowly changed. She began to yearn for the future, until she mustered up the courage to resist and designed to have La Hong die in an accident so that she could be free.

The original director deliberately downplayed time in the film.

Sun Yi speculated that this might be related to the crew's insufficient production funds. After all, in order to express the change of seasons, either time or special effects are needed.

Behind these two things, what they represent is money.

However, money is the last thing Sun Yi needs to consider.

It is winter now, so he can shoot a part first, and then go to the south to shoot the rest after the Chinese New Year, just like when he shot "Hidden in the Dust".

Or they can just use special effects, of course, provided that there is enough time, after all, special effects are much more time-consuming than real shooting. In addition, Sun Yi analyzed that there should be another possibility.

The director deliberately blurs Hongxia's feelings for Han Chong by downplaying the passage of time.

Because from the results, it seems that Hongxia killed La Hong by design.

Whatever the reason, she did kill someone after all.

If Hongxia's feelings for Han Chong are not blurred, it would be easy for the audience to misunderstand that Hongxia wanted to kill Han Chong because she fell in love with him. Then, judging from the result, this woman would be a little scary.

The original director may have taken this aspect into consideration and chose to blur the timeline in order to downplay Hongxia's feelings for Han Chong.

Sun Yi also took these two points into consideration when finalizing the script.

However, in the end, he felt that this approach was still inappropriate.

The relationship between Hongxia and Han Chong should be the core of the story, and it is inappropriate to downplay it.

Sun Yi felt that he could use some detailed shots to specifically depict the development of Hongxia's feelings for Han Chong, thereby guiding the audience and making them understand that it was the appearance of Han Chong that rekindled Hongxia's yearning for life and freedom, and ultimately gave her the courage to resist fate, rather than simply liking Han Chong and wanting to kill La Hong.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

These detailed shots can be reflected in Hongxia's eyes, expressions, and even the changes in her clothes. Sun Yi is very confident in the lens language in this regard.

I took teacher Ge Shuiping to visit the filming site of the crew.

Seeing that Sun Yi's control over every detail was very thorough, Ge Shuiping was very satisfied.

Every writer treats his or her work as if it were his or her own child.

Hope she gets the best care.

Sun Yi's performance made her feel that her child was not in the wrong person.

"Director Sun Yi, is my Hongxia in the crew? Can I meet her?"

After reviewing the crew's overall preparations, Mr. Ge Shuiping became concerned about several of the film's leading actors.

Especially the heroine in her mind, Hongxia.

"Oh, Teacher Ge, look at my brain, I totally forgot about it. Xixi is here, I'll take you there."

It is also reasonable for the original author to look at the characters in his mind.

Sun Yi took Ge Shuiping to the leading actors' lounge.

It was a renovated house from a fellow villager's home and was specially prepared for Liu Yifei.

After all, she is the heroine and has some privileges.

Of course, Sun Yi also sneaked along at night.

"Teacher Ge, Xixi has never played a rural role like this before, so while the crew has not yet finished setting up the scene and there is still time, I will let her get the feel of the role herself."

"To be honest, Miss Liu's appearance is very consistent with the image of Hongxia in my mind. The only thing I'm a little worried about is whether this character from the 1980s and 1990s will look out of place on Miss Liu."

"After all, in my impression, Miss Liu is very ethereal."

Ge Shuiping said with anticipation.

"Teacher Ge, if an actor wants to improve himself, he must break his unique temperament and try different types of roles. I believe Xixi can do it."

"Yeah, I believe it too. No, I can't wait any longer."

Sun Yi smiled but said nothing.

Arriving at the lounge, Sun Yi knocked on the door twice, then took Ge Shuiping into the room.

"Xixi, are you there? The original author of the script I brought, Mr. Ge Shuiping, is here to see you."

The whole house was well-lit, with the sun shining in obliquely, and tiny dust particles could be seen in the air. What came into view was a hall, not very large, and on the left was Liu Yifei's bedroom.

At this moment, the bedroom door was open. Sun Yi and Ge Shuiping stood at the door and saw the girl sitting on the edge of the bed at a glance.

The stove in the room was crackling. Liu Yifei had two pigtails and was wearing a light pink long-sleeved checkered shirt with floral patterns that she got from somewhere, a pair of khaki blue worker pants, and a pair of white sneakers.

The shoes don't look new, but rather very old.

The white color on the upper and corners has begun to turn yellow, but the cleanliness from inside to outside makes people feel that the owner of this pair of shoes must take good care of it.

The pants are also very retro in style, loose and baggy, with traces of time, just like the work clothes issued uniformly by state-owned factories in that era.

Because she was sitting on the edge of the bed, her thighs were propped up, and through the tight outline of the khaki cloth, she could feel the roundness inside.

The light pink shirt on her upper body is a conservative style unique to that era. The standard collar clearly divides the clothes and the body on both sides of the collar. But on Liu Yifei, it especially highlights her slender neck and her fair skin, which appears particularly fair even without makeup.

The rustic design of being narrow at the top and wide at the bottom unexpectedly supported her figure, and her chest was plump and full.

An orange cat with an orange body was lying lazily in her arms, stepping on the milk with its front paws.

How dare you, beast!!!
Sun Yi roared in his heart, wishing he could take the orange cat away immediately and replace it.

After seeing the two people appear, Liu Yifei did not come out of the role for a while. She raised her head slightly and met the two people's gaze in a panic.

That pure, beautiful, and romantic feeling immediately filled their hearts.

Sun Yi was prepared for Liu Yifei's change and behaved fine, but Ge Shuiping on the side was confused.

He stood there in a daze, his eyes sparkling, and didn't speak for a long time.

"Hello, Mr. Ge."

"Red clouds."

Ge Shuiping stayed in the crew for two days and was very satisfied with every aspect of the crew, especially Liu Yifei.

Or rather, it was the Hongxia played by her.

Before leaving, she did not forget to make her request, hoping that at the movie premiere, she must tell her that she wanted to see her work on the big screen with her own eyes.

In mid-January, after half a month of intense preparation, the set was completely set up.

Several other leading actors also reported to the crew. Sun Yi chose an auspicious day and announced the start of filming in a small mountain village.

At this point, his first work in 2012 officially began.
