Entertainment upstart

Chapter 37 Filming begins

"Zhou Xia, please answer my question directly. If your acting skills are not better than the coat of arms, then why did you get this role? Is there something shady about this?"

The female reporter's harsh questioning sounded again, and Zhou Xia frowned slightly.

How much money did you charge for Sohu Video? You worked so hard?

"Zhou Xia, I'm a reporter from NetEase Entertainment, what do you think about the actor being robbed of the show and topped?"

"Zhou Xia, I'm a reporter from Crazy Studio. As a newcomer, how did you defeat an experienced senior?"

Apart from the surfing reporter, entertainment reporters from several other websites and newspapers immediately swarmed up, chasing and questioning Zhou Xia on such issues.

It's likely that if Zhou Xia, a newcomer, is not forced to ask something, he will not give up.

The female reporter from Surf Movie blinked her eyes, also wanting to join in the fun, but who told them that Surf Movie is the promotional partner of this movie, otherwise she would just watch it dryly.

If someone with an impulsive personality is provoked and stimulated by so many reporters, he will definitely open his mouth to argue and reveal the inside story of many movies unconsciously.

But Zhou Xia didn't know how, he didn't know how many storms he had experienced.

Seeing these entertainment journalists desperately trying to create hot spots, Zhou Xia shook his head secretly, like watching a group of self-promotional clowns, and replied calmly: "I'm sorry, I won't answer irrelevant questions. I would like to ask questions about movies!"

The entertainment journalists at the press conference were all taken aback for a moment, looking at Zhou Xia in surprise.

The rookie was very seasoned, he was not irritated by this kind of fishing problem, and his emotions were well controlled. It seemed that they were acting for nothing.

Seeing that Zhou Xia was not fooled, Xue Xiaolu and Li Lianjie felt relieved, and couldn't help being very dissatisfied with these entertainment reporters, especially the female reporter from Sohu Video.

They made this movie with the attitude of doing public welfare. In order to let more people know about autistic patients and help them, they are now hyping up this kind of thing and ignoring the promotion of the movie. It is really inappropriate!
"Reporters, please don't ask irrelevant questions. I don't know where the female reporter from Sohu heard the gossip news. As a director, I tell you very seriously that the casting of our movie Absolutely fair and just, without any shady scenes, I hope everyone pays attention to the film itself, conveys love to autistic patients, and stops hyping up these unnutritious topics, thank you!"

Director Xue Xiaolu couldn't bear it long ago, and immediately spoke loudly to the media reporters present.

The entertainment reporters did not have a holiday with Zhou Xia, nor did they get instructions from the leader. They just used the female reporter from Sohu Video to test Zhou Xia and see if they could get the news they wanted.

Now that the director had spoken, Li Lianjie's expression was not good. They didn't dare to dwell on this issue any longer, and continued to return to the topic, interviewing Li Lianjie, Gui Lunmei and the director.

In the blink of an eye, no one paid attention to Zhou Xia, and he seemed to have become a transparent person again immediately.

"On the nineteenth year of that year, the launch conference stood like an idiot, I swear with tears in my eyes, everyone must see me..."

Zhou Xia silently recited this episode from his previous life, and listened to Li Lianjie and others talking about doing charity and other things, feeling that the time had passed extremely long.

Fortunately, he didn't need to attend the two-hour film conference from the beginning to the end.

After the main question interview, the director, producer, and screenwriter took him away, leaving the media and flashlights to Jet Li and Du Lunmei to continue the interview.

Most of the actors join the group according to the schedule. After the press conference of Gui Lunmei and Li Lianjie, they will go to other things, and then they will join the group when the schedule is up.

Zhou Xia and the director went to the group first to shoot other scenes, so they had to go to the crew first.

Following the director back to the hotel, after a simple lunch, the group set off for the Imperial Capital Airport by car.

There are several flights a day from Imperial Capital to Qingdao. Zhou Xia and the others took the plane at 03:30 in the afternoon. They waited at the airport for an hour. After the plane took off, they arrived at Qingdao Liuting International Airport in an hour, four and 10 minutes.

The crew who had already done various preparatory work came to pick up the plane, and they took a bus for another half an hour before arriving at the filming scene of the crew.

The movie "Ocean Paradise" has very few scenes, mainly the aquarium and the home of Wang Xincheng and his son, and the rest are scenes of special education schools and orphanages.

The crew had already selected a shooting location near Qingdao Polar Ocean World.

In addition to the scenes filmed in the aquarium, some real-life scenes are well arranged. I rented a private house in the nearby urban-rural junction, and made some simple layouts and decorations that meet the needs of the characters, and then I can shoot directly.

For the accommodation of the crew, they also rented residential houses nearby.

Although Zhou Xia is one of the leading actors, but because he has been in the crew for a long time and is a newcomer, he has no hotel to stay in. He lives in a rented private house with the assistant director, scene reporter, coordinator and others of the crew.

The entire crew of six NO.70 staff members can only be regarded as a small crew, and they were divided into groups a and b for independent filming.

Group b photographer Li Xiaoyu is mainly responsible for shooting some guest actors and life plots, while group a is in charge of the famous photographer Du Kefeng, who is the chief photographer.

The crew also assigned Zhou Xia a life assistant named Yao Jiang, a boy who had just graduated from college, who was responsible for taking care of his basic necessities in the crew.

Zhou Xia, three male assistant directors, coordinator Yang Yi, and assistant Yao Jiang lived in a small farmyard. The family had six brick houses and rented three rooms in the west wing to them.

Zhou Xia and Yao Jiang lived in the same room. Although the living environment was average, the sheets and quilts were all newly bought by the crew. The room was very clean and hygienic, and they could take a shower at any time.

After the accommodation was settled, the chefs of the film crew would cook at a nearby farmhouse rented by the chefs for the meals, and then pack them into boxed meals and send them to the filming site to solve.

Actors are like this. They are dignified in front of others and suffer in hindsight. This is not shooting out of season. They are filming in harsh outdoor environments and do not have to suffer other crimes.

After arranging the eating and drinking, Zhou Xia didn't have time to catch his breath. After a simple dinner, he followed the crew to the Qingdao Polar Oceanarium, and took advantage of his closing down to shoot some scenes of him.

It is mainly some scenes of Dafu diving and swimming in the aquarium.

Zhou Xia was wearing swimming trunks, topless, and goggles, and began to swim in the water. Director Xue Xiaolu was very dissatisfied with the shots taken by the fixed underwater camera installed in advance.

Chief photographer Du Kefeng, underwater photographer Lin Deming, and underwater photography assistant Su Heng had no choice but to follow Zhou Xia in the water to take simultaneous shots.

As a result, the difficulty of shooting has been greatly increased. Originally, Dafu was chasing fish and playing with dolphins underwater, and took a full two or three hours to shoot a few simple shots without success.

Soon there was a problem with the camera in the water, and this shooting had to be terminated first, and I waited to make some preparations for the underwater shooting, and then came back to shoot next time.

Fortunately, for the shooting in the aquarium, this part of the shots was taken when the family was closed, otherwise it would definitely cost a lot of money.

Zhou Xia held her breath and dived many times, drank several sips of water, and was as tired as a dog. After getting out of the water, she involuntarily lay down by the pool to rest, but director Xue Xiaolu came over.

Zhou Xia quickly stood up, Xue Xiaolu didn't say anything, and walked around Zhou Xia several times, staring at Zhou Xia's muscular and smooth upper body, the more she looked at her, the more she frowned.

"Zhou Xia, you started gaining weight today. We postponed the shooting of the shots of you in the water until you gain weight successfully and the muscle lines on your body are no longer obvious. We will shoot these shots again. I hope you can meet my requirements as soon as possible! "

Daifuku suffered from autism since he was a child. Even if Daifuku is a 19-year-old boy in the film, it is impossible to have too obvious muscles due to long-term lack of exercise.

Zhou Xia was slightly taken aback, and soon understood what Xue Xiaolu meant, and quickly nodded in agreement: "Got it, director, I will gain fat as soon as possible."
