Chapter 13 Finishing(1/2)
End of November.
"The Unknown" has completed all the scenes, except for two or three sets of aerial shots and one scene that Fang Ziheng and Song Yi need to reshoot.
The crew was divided into two. Wen Muye took the prop team and rented several heaters to take advantage of the sunny and calm weather to find a sailing location.
Fang Ziheng took another group of people to a clean, elegant and beautiful suburb outside Chongqing City.
This section did not exist in the original drama, and was specially added by Fang Ziheng.
The purpose is to flesh out the line between Gao Xiang and Ma Yiyi, increase the number of scenes in which the two appear, and pave the way for their good relationship.
In the original plot, Gao Xiang's character called for help in order to save his father. There was a cause and effect, so there was no problem.
But he didn't jump out of his head to help Ma Yiyi, which seemed to be nosy.
Why do you do that?
Therefore, Fang Ziheng deliberately increased the interaction and scenes between the two to make Gao Xiang justified in standing up for Ma Yiyi.
In the new script, Gao Xiang and Ma Yiyi are childhood sweethearts. They grew up playing together and usually go out for outings together.
Usually Gao Xiang accompanies Ma Yiyi. Because of Ma Yiyi's family issues, she is often depressed and in a bad mood.
There are no relaxing programs for middle school students, so going out for an outing is just right.
The place for the outing was on the outskirts of Chongqing City. This was a place the two of them found accidentally after taking the wrong bus.
After going back and forth, the suburbs became a place for the two of them to relax.
However, the relationship between the two is good, but it has not broken through the relationship between men and women. It is a state of unsatisfied lovers.
In their hearts, both of them had a good impression of each other. They encouraged each other and agreed to study hard and get admitted to the same university.
The soul character of "The Unknown" is Ma Yiyi's father Ma Xianyong.
In one, the students' main occupations are studying, dating, etc., and they will wait until they are older to talk about it.
The outskirts of Chongqing.
Fang Ziheng and Song Yi were wearing summer school uniforms and a coat, shivering in the cold wind.
The little girl's face was a little pale, probably from the cold.
Fang Ziheng waved to someone to bring him a thermos: "Hurry up and drink some hot ginger soup, it will last for a while and you will be fine."
"Thanks..."
The little girl took the thermos flask, unscrewed the cap and took a sip.
The filming equipment was not ready yet, so Fang Ziheng had nothing to say: "After filming, will you go back to the emperor or stay and play for two days."
"Go back to the Imperial Capital first. There is still a lot of homework left behind in school."
Song Yi drank hot ginger soup, frowned and said that she received a call from her classmates a few days ago, saying that they had started preparing homework for the end of the semester and asked her when she would go back.
"What about you, what are you going to do when you get back?"
"I'll go back and rest for two days. I'll still be busy with post-editing."
Fang Ziheng smiled lightly and didn't care if the little girl changed her name to him.
The little girl used to call him Director Fang, director, but one day she suddenly changed her title to you and me.
He didn't know why, so he could only dwell on the fact that the two sides had become familiar with each other and had shortened the distance.
"When I return to the emperor, I will come and play with you when I have time."
"Well... you come here and call me, I will take you to eat something delicious."
Song Yi hummed slightly and looked at Fang Ziheng with a smile.
As soon as she talked about food, the little girl became energetic.
"Director, get ready!"
Just as the two people's eyes met and their eyes lit up, the crew waved their hands in this direction, completely destroying the friendly atmosphere.
"Know it!"
"Start work, start work!"
"No one is allowed to go back until we finish filming today!"
Fang Ziheng rolled his eyes angrily and glared at the unobtrusive staff member.
Song Yi pursed her lips and smiled, her clear eyes showing a trace of teasing. For the first time, she discovered that Fang Ziheng had such a humorous side.
"Everyone in your place!"
"Scene 15, seventh shot for the first time!"
"start!"
The recorder is recording, and the camera is moving closer.
Fang Ziheng and Song Yi took off their coats and walked side by side on a dirt road facing the sunshine.
On both sides of the dirt road are green trees, green mountains and green waters, and the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers.
In the distance, tall buildings stand between heaven and earth, like a dream.
Further away, mountains rise and fall together, like long dragons, trying to break free from the shackles of the earth and fly into the sky.
The lens moves from far to near, and two tiny figures appear in the lens.
Fang Ziheng put his hands in his trouser pockets, looked forward, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, showing off his confidence.
Song Yi walked on the dirt road, sometimes opening her hands to feel the beauty of nature, sometimes kicking the stones under her feet, relaxing wholeheartedly, letting go of her worries about her family and her dissatisfaction with her father.
The two of them walked around and talked about happy topics.
Suddenly, Fang Ziheng pointed forward. In the camera lens, there was a small slope two hundred meters ahead.
"Yiyi, didn't you say you have good sports scores and are a good runner?"
"Let's compete today to see who can reach that hillside first."
"Okay, the loser will be treated to skewers!"
Song Yi smiled and agreed, kicking her legs and throwing her arms, eager to try.
Under the camera, the two were sitting and preparing to start running. Ma Yiyi took advantage of Gao Xiang's inattention and suddenly got angry. She grabbed him by the neck and neatly put him to the ground.
"start!"
She shouted loudly, swung her long legs and rushed forward happily.
"Ouch... Ma Yiyi, how dare you cheat..."
"Wait for me, don't let me catch you!"
Fang Ziheng was stunned, he got up from the ground with a curse, and while dusting himself off, he got up and chased the beautiful figure in front of him.
The two young figures ran further and further away, and the girl's laughter could be heard in the distance.
The girl's laughter is youthful, lively, cute and carefree.
There are three interactive plots like this, not much time, each one or two minutes.
There are two paragraphs of Gao Xiang's memories, recalling scenes of him and Ma Yiyi playing together.
This scene connects Ma Yiyi to a bad mood after being beaten by her father at school, and the two meet to relax in the suburbs.
The scene is not difficult, you can pass it in two times!
After filming this section, all the scenes were completed and we just had to wait for Wen Muye to complete the aerial photography.
In this era, there are still certain difficulties in aerial photography.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The best way is of course to use a drone equipped with a camera to shoot, but drones are expensive and small-cost crews rarely hire them.
Most small film crews use hot air balloons and ask professionals to carry the machines to high altitudes to shoot the shots.
After receiving a call from Wen Muye to get it done, Fang Ziheng ran to the monitor, picked up a small speaker and shouted loudly into the blue sky: "I announce that "The Unknown" has been completed!"
"Oh oh...it's finished!"
"Ha ha..."
"Finally done!"
All the crew members jumped up and followed suit, put their hands to their mouths like trumpets, and shouted loudly to the sky that the filming was finished.
The little girl was a little embarrassed at first, but when she saw everyone was like this, she ran to a few female staff members and joined the shouting army.
"Let's go...pack your things and go back to the hotel!"
"We won't go home until we get drunk tonight!"
"You won't come home until you're drunk..."
"Long live the director!"
