April came to an end with a snap of the fingers.

Due to the extension of the statutory holiday during this year's May Day Golden Week, the national tourism industry suddenly entered a full-load stage.

There are people everywhere you go.

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

Due to the influx of a large number of tourists, many crews had to temporarily stop their filming to make way for the tourists. Otherwise, many of the crew's location scenes would not be able to proceed. When a star comes out, hundreds of people are watching, think about who

Can't stand it.

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

As for the exact number of these tourists...it's hard to estimate.

But it is true that hotels of all sizes in the entire county are almost full.

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

But on May 1st, when he was preparing to film a scene in which Jingqiu helped the school renovate the playground during the summer vacation, and found that he could not disperse the usually cooperative crowd, he realized that something was wrong.

There are more people than before.

Those police comrades struggled to maintain order.

And not only are there a lot of people, there are also many foreign vehicles on the street that do not have the "E" license plate.

These people were holding cameras and guarding outside the school. When they saw Lin Xingxin or Liu Yifei appearing, they would yell and scream. The police comrades and the drama staff cooperated with each other and held up the loudspeaker to ask everyone to "stop making noise". The request was as if it was for free.

.

Not a single scene was filmed all morning.

From time to time someone will come to disturb you.

Either there was someone moving around inside the camera, or someone had broken into the school and was hiding in the classroom watching the filming scene.

All the actors and crew members were exhausted mentally and physically.

The police comrades even came over with Xu Xin to discuss whether to increase police force to maintain order in the afternoon.

However, this request was rejected by him.

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

Some people were discussing whether to close the road, but the old man rejected it directly:

"When filming this kind of movie, don't just block roads and mountains. Who do you think you are? What you filmed is for the people to see. Everyone should cooperate with each other. If the movie is finished, your reputation will be ruined.

Why bother."

The old man felt that filming was nothing special. Although he felt nothing in his heart, he also felt that it was not necessary to increase the police presence or impose a martial law-like situation.

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

But at this time, when he saw that there were more people and all kinds of unqualified people appeared, he immediately made a decision:

"have a rest."

He waved his hand as one of the scenes failed to be filmed and said to Xue Yong:

"Let's go and see how the scenery over Qinglong Village is this afternoon, especially the hawthorn tree. If it blooms... the crew will go there to film tomorrow, so we can free up the scenes in Yuan'an first."

He will leave soon too.

Golden Week ends on the 5th.

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

The World Expo will open on May 10th, and he will stay until the 11th to attend the celebration banquet before returning.

So I wanted to catch up on the progress before leaving.

Although the progress of "Hawthorn Tree" is ideal, it is difficult to maintain the condition of the actors. The sooner it can be ended while the condition is good, the better.

But who knew that feedback would come from Xue Yong and Zhang Mo in the afternoon.

"Director Xu, our people are back."

Xu Xin, who was busy among various materials, line drawings, and books scattered everywhere, said casually:

"Well, how about it? Can it be taken? If it can be taken, first transport the equipment and put it at the village chief's place."

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

"We can't take pictures, Director Xu. When we went there in the afternoon, cars couldn't even enter the village."

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

Xu Xin was a little puzzled.

Duan Heng sighed:

"Sigh... That's not a matter of large crowds. On the road we entered the village, there was already a long line of private cars. Those cars were parked in a row on the roadside. Then there were special people to collect fees... We

When I went there, someone came over...twenty-one people. Later, I still said that I was from the crew, so I didn't pay the money."

"..."

Xu Xin's mouth twitched.

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

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

"...where are the people?"

"There are men who specially guard the roadside to charge parking fees, and some give directions, but most of them go to patrol the mountains. I found the village party secretary who stayed in the village and asked about it, and he said that he was afraid of tourists when they went to climb the mountains.

An accidental fire caused a mountain fire, and all the men in the village went to patrol the mountains.

Those women, grandmothers and aunts, all went to the nearby hawthorn gardens. Although those hawthorn gardens had not yet come out with hawthorn, Yuan'an had considered this when doing this eco-tourism. There are farmhouses in several nearby hawthorn gardens.

Packages...

Although it was a bit shabby, everyone went to have a big banquet. I took a look when I passed by. There were cars inside and outside, and the tourists were all full. It looked like a flowing water banquet. There were also fish ponds and so on.

Open...it seems that the village is planning to take advantage of this Golden Week and our popularity to directly make a fortune."

"..."

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

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

"It's not about making 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 called making a fortune."

"...Yes, yes, brother, you are right. There are quite a lot of people anyway, and when we went there, we also saw a few people driving piles and erecting signs at the fork to Qinglong Village. When we passed there, the signs were not put up.

Well, some villagers stopped our car. With the windows down, they asked: Are we going to the set of "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree"? Do we want to lead the way?... When we came back, a big red sign had been erected on the roadside: "The Hawthorn Tree"

"Love" - ​​Zhang Yimou, director Xu Xin's filming location. A big arrow! It's so conspicuous!"

"..."

"..."

When Duan Heng said this, Xu Xin understood.

If the crew can go filming at this time, the people of Qinglong Village will definitely welcome it.

But the problem is...the conditions there may not be suitable for shooting.

Even Yuan'an is like this. If the news of their filming trip to Qinglong Village leaks out... no, people here will definitely know about it.

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

That's even worse.

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

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

While talking to himself, he wanted to smoke.

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

Seeing this, he opened the drawer directly, took three packets of Chinese food, and threw one packet to each of Xue Yong and Duan Heng.

"Okay...Brother Yong, let's talk to everyone. The crew will take a break for these two days...let everyone relax and relax. Objective conditions do not allow it, so we won't force it...but the weather forecast still needs to be managed.

Also, we will review the next shooting process in a moment.

During this period, the crew gathered some people, and while they were in Yuan'an, they went to Qinglong Village...especially Qinglong Village. We must work with the village chief to protect our shooting location, and we can't let it be ruined by tourists. Especially in Qinglong Village.

Those important filming locations...you can find a few people in a while."

Xue Yong nodded to express his understanding:

"good."

"Director Xu..."

At this time, Duan Heng spoke again:
To be continued...
