Chapter 396 Are You Here for Vacation?

Zhou Yan woke up the next morning. Just after washing up, the phone on the wall rang.

The call was from Zhou Hong, calling them over for breakfast.

After Zhou Yan hung up the phone, he patted Wang Zuxian's thigh and said, "Get up and go to my second brother's place for breakfast."

Wang Zuxian opened his eyes drowsily and complained, "I was able to have a good sleep last night, but it's all your fault."

"I'm the one doing the hard work."

Wang Zuxian asked strangely, "Why do you become more energetic after losing weight?"

In order to adapt to the role of the male protagonist of "Space Traveler", Zhou Yan has been losing weight during this period and trying to make himself look thinner.

During his weight loss period, he didn't eat much, but he did a lot of aerobic exercise.

His body fat is not very high, and a lot of the weight he lost during this period was muscle, making him look much thinner.

In Wang Zuxian's opinion, Zhou Yan's physical condition will decline if he loses so much muscle.

But because he did more aerobic exercise, his physical strength got better, and his energy every day was even stronger than before.

Zhou Yan kissed Wang Zuxian's forehead and said, "Get up and wash up and change clothes. I'll go for a run."

"Yeah." Wang Zuxian nodded, got up and walked to the bathroom.

Zhou Yanze went out for a run wearing a sports suit.

The planning of Yijing Garden is very good, the green area is quite large, and the air is very fresh in the early morning, which is very suitable for running.

Zhou Yan didn't run far, just running circles on the inner roads of the community.

On the way, he also met several morning joggers, many of whom were wearing tennis hats. It seemed that the purpose of the hats was not to protect them from the sun, but to prevent them from being recognized by others.

Half an hour later, Zhou Yan returned to the villa sweating profusely, took a quick shower, changed his clothes and went next door with Wang Zuxian.

Breakfast was not that rich. There were only three small soup dumplings on the table and one bowl of wontons per person.

Whether it is steamed buns or wontons, they are all handmade by Wu Ma. They taste very good and are very suitable for the taste of Jinling people.

There is also a small jar of spicy oil on the table, and the taste is very authentic.

After Zhou Yan and the others finished eating, Wu Ma brought out another small box.

"Third Young Master, these are the wontons I made myself. They can be frozen in the refrigerator. When you want to eat them, you can just take them out and cook them."

Zhou Yan did not refuse, he took the box with a smile, "Thank you, Mother Wu."

Seeing Zhou Yan take the box, Wu's mother was all smiles, "If you like to eat, I usually pack more and have someone deliver it to you on time."

"It's too troublesome. If we want to eat, we can just come here." Zhou Yan smiled and said to Zhou Hong, "Brother, we are going to the end of the competition. I will see if I have free time in the next two days and I will go to the company with you. Look over there.”

Zhou Hong sat on the sofa and did not get up to send him off. Hearing Zhou Yan's words, he just nodded, "Well, just do it in your own time. If you encounter any difficulties during the filming process, feel free to tell me, After all, I have been here in Pengcheng for a long time, and most of the problems can be solved. "

"good."

…

Zhou Hong's driver took them to the end of the competition venue. The treatment was the same as yesterday, with Silver Thorn in the middle and two cars in front and behind protecting them.

The car drove directly to the village and stopped in front of the house where they were filming.

At this moment, many people from the crew gathered at the door of the house. When they saw three cars approaching in a row, everyone showed doubts.

The appearance of the Silver Spur is very eye-catching, and even people who don’t know anything about cars can tell at a glance that it is expensive.

Of course, most people don't dare to think about the price of a car above 10 million.

People like Jiang Mengfei, who likes to study cars, recognized the Silver Spur at a glance. He had seen this car many times in car magazines, but had never seen it in real life.

Seeing the Silver Thorn appear at this moment, Jiang Mengfei's eyes widened, thinking that some rich man had come here.

Although the scenery at Jiaochangwei is beautiful, there are very few tourists nowadays. Ordinary cars, let alone luxury cars, are rare.

The car stopped less than ten meters in front of Jiang Mengfei, and then the rear window lowered, revealing Zhou Yan's face.

Seeing Zhou Yan appear, everyone was stunned.

The reason why they were surprised was not that Zhou Yan couldn't afford such a luxury car, but that Zhou Yan always lived a simple life and never went out in such a grand manner.

Zhou Yan waved to Jiang Mengfei, who was in a daze, "Mengfei, come and take us to where we live."

Jiang Mengfei finally realized what he was doing, ran over and sat in the passenger seat.

After getting into the car, Jiang Mengfei looked up and down excitedly, "Old Zhou, does this car cost more than 10 million?"

After he finished asking, he turned around and saw the smiling Wang Zuxian. He said awkwardly, "Teacher Zuxian is here too."

"Well, I came here with Director Zhou."

Zhou Yan also said, "Take us to our accommodation, put down our luggage first, and then take me to the crew's conference room."

"The accommodation and office buildings are next to each other, right in front, only about a hundred meters away from here." After that, Jiang Mengfei said to the driver, "Brother, just drive towards the front. The blue exterior wall in front is there. Stop there."

The road inside the village is good, about 100 meters, and you can get there in the blink of an eye.

After getting off the car, Jiang Mengfei said that he was going to help Wang Zuxian get his luggage. As soon as he got off the car, he found that two people had already taken away Zhou Yan's luggage.

He was also happy and relaxed, and led Zhou Yan and the others into a courtyard.

"Director Zhou, this is Courtyard No. 1. There are four rooms for three people. There is a study room reserved. In addition to you, there are Zhao Fei and Director Xiao. Your room is on the east side of the second floor."

When there is no one else around, Jiang Mengfei will call Zhou Yan Lao Zhou, but now that Wang Zuxian is here, he will definitely call him Director Zhou. In this regard, he has always been measured.

Zhou Yan followed Jiang Mengfei upstairs and took a look. The accommodation conditions here were very good, and the mattresses and bedding were all new.

The study room is also well decorated, with two desks and a computer.

Although Zhou Yan does not advocate hedonism, he has always been willing to spend money in this regard. Everyone has to endure insurmountable difficulties, but Zhou Yan is more willing to improve such conditions that can be improved.

After Zhou Yan's luggage was put down, Jiang Mengfei took Wang Zuxian to Courtyard No. 2 next door.

Courtyard No. 1 and Courtyard No. 2 are both two-story buildings. The two houses share a wall and are completely next to each other.

"All four rooms in Courtyard No. 2 are occupied. Chen Derong, Li Xiaoran and Teacher Xie Fang have already moved in. Teacher Zuxian, your room is on the west side of the second floor."

Although the rooms of Wang Zuxian and Zhou Yan are in two courtyards, they are actually next to each other. Not only do the two rooms share a wall, but the corridor outside is only separated by a one-meter-high wall, which can be climbed directly. .

After their luggage was settled, Jiang Mengfei took them to the office area.

The office area is an independent house with a large area. Two rooms on the first floor are used as canteens, and a conference room and a screening room are arranged on the second floor.

They didn't bring development and printing equipment this time, so they didn't set up a "little dark room". The film they shot would be sent directly to Pengcheng Studio for help in developing it.

After walking around the office area, Zhou Yan was quite satisfied. Liu Qing and the others were very well prepared and considered many details.

They didn't shoot many scenes compared to the end of the scene. They were mainly concentrated near the hero's house, but there were a lot of scenes. In the next month or so, they would have to stay here at least half of the time. Otherwise, Zhou Yan would They won't be prepared either.

After visiting the accommodation and office area, Zhou Yan and the others went to the hero's house.

They walked there. After putting away their luggage just now, Zhou Yan asked the driver and assistant to go back.

The people who had gathered at the door just now were still there. Seeing Zhou Yan and the others coming, everyone greeted them one after another.

Zhou Yan looked around and asked, "Where is Lao Zhao?"

"Teacher Zhao is inside, I'll go in and call him." Ana Shen volunteered and ran in to call Zhao Fei out.

After seeing Zhao Fei, Zhou Yan asked with a smile, "How are you, Lao Zhao, how do you feel after stepping on the dots for a few days?"

Zhao Fei was also in a good mood and said with a smile, "The scenery here is very good and it is easy to make a film. I have already settled on most of the points, but I have to discuss the details with you."

Zhou Yan nodded, "Then don't waste time. I'll take the actors through the moves in the afternoon to see if there are any problems. If any problems are encountered, we will make adjustments in time."

"Look at the positioning, do you follow the shooting order?" Ana Shen asked from the side.

Zhou Yan shook his head and said, "No, just follow the instructions. Go indoors first, wait until you finish walking indoors, then walk in front of the door, walk in front of the door, then walk to the beach, and finish all these before turning on the phone."

Confirming the camera position and movement in advance can greatly reduce the time for post-production shooting.

Determining the camera location is a troublesome matter. As the chief photographer, Zhao Fei will first determine the camera location based on the script and storyboard provided by Zhou Yan, and then conduct on-site inspections to modify the camera location based on the actual situation.

After all, Zhou Yan's storyboard is on paper and may not be suitable for on-site shooting. At this time, Zhao Fei needs to use his experience to make adjustments.

However, after making these adjustments, the final decision was still not possible because the real scene he inspected did not include people. After adding actors, the camera position may need to be modified.

Of course, even after the camera location is confirmed, when it comes time to actually start shooting, it will still face modifications. This kind of thing is normal on set.

No matter how well prepared you are in advance, you still have to make adjustments on site.

Sometimes during the filming process, the director suddenly has a new idea, and may temporarily change the shooting strategy, and the camera position and other things must be overturned and re-done.

When Zhou Yan didn't come, everyone was busy all the time, but the intensity was not very high.

Now Zhou Yan came over and immediately increased the intensity.

But no one complained, because everyone was used to it. In Zhou Yan's crew, the conditions were very good in all aspects, but when it was time to be busy, Zhou Yan needed everyone to work very fast.

There was no need for Zhou Yan to give any other instructions. After he finished speaking, Li Hong and Shen Yan had already gone to convey his instructions.

It didn't take long for the information to be conveyed to all departments of the crew.

Zhou Yan walked around the scene for a while, and then asked Jiang Mengfei next to him, "Where is the actor Li Xiaoran who plays Qin Yu? Why didn't I see her?"

Jiang Mengfei showed a strange expression, "We actually met her just now."

"Is there any?" Zhou Yan asked doubtfully. He didn't remember seeing Li Xiaoran.

"She is in the dormitory right now, just below Teacher Zuxian's room, but she hasn't come out."

Zhou Yan looked at the time, it was already past ten o'clock, and Li Xiaoran was still in the room and refused to come out.

"She always stays in her room?"

"She comes out during meals, and also when Teacher Gao is giving a lecture at night."

Zhou Yan frowned, "What is she doing in the dormitory? Sleeping in?"

"Well... I am a grown man, and I can't run into girls' dormitories. But I heard from Manager Hong that Li Xiaoran likes to play games."

"Did she bring a game console?"

"I heard she didn't bring one originally, but went to buy one after arriving in Pengcheng."

Zhou Yan looked at Hong Xin not far away and shouted, "Manager Hong, come here."

Hong Xin was talking to someone, and when she heard Zhou Yan shouting, she ran over, "Director Zhou, what's wrong?"

She saw Zhou Yan's gloomy face, and felt a little uneasy. Although they had a deep revolutionary friendship and a good relationship in private, Zhou Yan was ruthless when he was on the crew. No matter who made a mistake, he would criticize them.

Zhou Yan didn't scold people, but when he criticized people, it was very stressful.

Moreover, Zhou Yan's criticism of others is reasonable, which means that the other party has really made a mistake. No one wants to make a mistake, let alone be criticized in public.

"Does Li Xiaoran usually stay in the room to play games?"

Hong Xin was relieved to hear that it was not her own business.

She thought about it and said, "She really doesn't go out much. As for whether she plays games, I can't say, but I did see her playing games in the room."

This statement is relatively objective, neither shielding Li Xiaoran nor adding fuel to the fire.

However, Zhou Yan probably knew what was going on. He nodded and said to Hong Xin, "Go and call Li Xiaoran over."

"Now?"

"Yes, now."

"Okay."

Hong Xin said nothing more and ran straight to the dormitory area.

After a long while, Hong Xin led Li Xiaoran over.

From a distance, watching Li Xiaoran and Hong Xin walking together, Zhou Yan once again saw Li Xiaoran's talent.

She looked quite white, and the effect was even more obvious when compared with Hong Xin.

The key is that Hong Xin put on some makeup, while Li Xiaoran was still bare-faced.

Not only was she bare-faced, she didn't even tie her hair up, the clothes she wore looked like pajamas, and she was wearing a pair of flip-flops, giving people the feeling of Feng Baobao in "Under One Person".

To put it nicely, this is called a sense of relaxation, to put it bluntly, this is unkempt.

If it were an ordinary girl, Zhou Yan would not care whether she put on makeup or dressed inappropriately, but Li Xiaoran is an actor, and strictly speaking, she is still working, so her attitude towards work is not correct.

The only thing that satisfied Zhou Yan was that Li Xiaoran had gained a lot of meat, and the effect was better than Zhou Yan expected.

She had a strong capital, and a little more meat made her look more plump. Although the clothes she wore were not exposed, people could still notice her proud chest.

Following Hong Xin to Zhou Yan, Li Xiaoran asked harmlessly, "Director Zhou, are you looking for me?"

Zhou Yan looked Li Xiaoran up and down, and said with a smile, "How are the conditions of the crew? Are you satisfied after staying here for a few days?"

Hong Xin is familiar with Zhou Yan and knows that Zhou Yan is being sarcastic.

But Li Xiaoran didn't understand Zhou Yan's hidden meaning, and thought he was concerned about her, and nodded seriously, "It's pretty good, the scenery here is nice, the food and accommodation are good, and everyone is very nice to me."

Zhou Yan was almost angry and laughed, this girl really thought she was on vacation.

"Oh, I thought you were not satisfied with the conditions here, so you stayed in your room every day."

Even if Li Xiaoran was slow, she realized that Zhou Yan was not concerned about her.

She actually knew that it was wrong to play games in the crew, and she knew she was in the wrong. She was also weak, and said hesitantly, "Director Zhou, I just played before the start of the filming. After the start of the filming, I promise... less play."

She wanted to say that she promised not to play, but she couldn't bear to do it.

She has been quite happy staying at Jiaochangwei these days. She usually stays in her room playing games without being disturbed. There are people to serve her with good food and drinks. When she has nothing to do, she can also come out to enjoy the sea breeze and see the scenery.

For her, this is simply a fairy-like life.

Seeing that she still wanted to play, Zhou Yan said in a deep voice, "Give the game console to Jiang Mengfei at noon and ask him to keep it for you. You can pick it up after the filming is finished."

Li Xiaoran blinked a few times, feeling a little disappointed, but it was difficult to disobey Zhou Yan's words, so she could only nod, "I know."

"Also, when you go out in the future, I don't require you to wear makeup all the time, but at least your hair can't be messy. Don't wear pajamas, change into decent clothes."

"This is not pajamas..." Li Xiaoran wanted to argue, but when she saw Zhou Yan's eyes, she immediately wilted, "Well, I know."

"Okay, go back, everyone will watch the movement in the afternoon, whether you have a scene or not, you have to follow."

"Oh, okay."

Li Xiaoran turned around and walked back, her head lower than when she came, obviously Zhou Yan's criticism just now made her a little unbalanced.

Hong Xin laughed and said, "It's normal for a little girl to be playful."

"Twenty years old, she's not a child anymore."

Hong Xin pursed her lips. She also felt that Li Xiaoran should be disciplined, but Zhou Yan's tone of scolding Li Xiaoran was like scolding his daughter.

The key point is that Zhou Yan is only a few years older than Li Xiaoran. Young people have self-esteem and may not be able to stand it. (End of this chapter)
