Chapter 400 Visiting the Set
The next morning, the crew started work very early.
By ten o'clock, two scenes had been filmed. Just as Zhou Yan was about to enter the next scene, he suddenly heard chaos outside.
He couldn't help but frowned and asked Li Hong next to him, "What's going on?"
Li Hong quickly ran to the window to look out, and then shouted to Zhou Yan, "It seems Anita Mui is here."
After hearing Li Hong's words, Zhou Yan also walked over and saw Anita Mui walking towards this side with Leslie Cheung.
At this time, they also saw Zhou Yan. Anita Mui smiled and raised her hand to say hello, "Hi, A Yan."
Zhou Yan forced out a smile and replied, "Hi, Sister Amei, Guorong."
Seeing that the smile on Zhou Yan's face was not bright, Anita Mui smiled and said, "Why, don't you welcome us?"
To be honest, Zhou Yan really didn't welcome them.
He just accelerated today's plan yesterday, and today Anita Mui and others came over to delay the progress.
"How is that possible? I'm just so surprised."
"I didn't see you being surprised."
Leslie Cheung knew Zhou Yan better and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Ayan, we'll come and see him for a while and then leave. We won't delay you for a long time."
Zhou Yan said seriously, "How about that? It's hard to come here and play here for a few more days."
"I'm serious about it. I'll have my change of clothes delivered to me soon." Anita Mui said with a half-smile.
"Haha, Amei, please stop teasing him." Leslie Cheung chuckled and said to Zhou Yan, "Originally, we were planning to come to attend the opening ceremony yesterday, but we were afraid of disturbing your plan."
"He didn't invite us." Anita Mui couldn't help complaining again.
Zhou Yan begged for mercy again and again, "I was wrong. I will definitely apologize to you when I go to Xiangjiang in a while. I came to Pengcheng to film in a hurry this time. I was afraid of not being well received when I invited you over. And it's not just you, the filming started yesterday Except for our crew, I didn’t shout to anyone.”
Of course, Anita Mui was not really angry with Zhou Yan, it was just a joke between old friends.
At this time, Wang Zuxian also came over with Chen Derong and greeted them, "Sister Amei, brother."
Before Wang Zuxian went to Yanjing, he stayed in Xiangjiang and met Anita Mui and others frequently.
Since we meet often, we naturally won't be particularly surprised.
Anita Mui and others are more interested in Chen Derong. Before, Chen Derong developed in Hong Kong and signed a Shaw Brothers contract like Wang Zuxian. She and Anita Mui had met in person.
It's just that I'm not very familiar with him. After all, she didn't stay in Xiangjiang for too long.
They pay attention to Chen Derong mainly because of Wang Zuxian.
Chen Derong was quite nervous when she saw Leslie Cheung because her idol was Leslie Cheung.
Even though she is very popular now, she is still as nervous as an average fan when facing idols.
Leslie Cheung looked up and down at Chen Derong: "Xiao Rong, your appearance in this movie is..."
"So what?" Chen Derong asked nervously.
"It's quite simple and generous, very natural." Leslie Cheung gave his evaluation with a smile.
Anita Mui looked at Chen Derong's bare feet and asked curiously, "Is it necessary for your role to be barefoot?"
"Well, the character Zhou Jing likes to run around barefoot." Chen Derong explained.
Wang Zuxian said with a smile, "We are not filming her scenes now, so she doesn't have to go barefoot at all. She insists on experiencing the role and is unwilling to wear shoes. I suspect that she doesn't like wearing shoes in the first place. She doesn't wear shoes every day, and the soles of her feet are black. ”
"It's not black at all..."
Chen Derong raised her feet to show everyone that the soles of her feet were not black, but her lifting confirmed Wang Zuxian's words. The soles of her feet were black and covered with gray.
There are a lot of crew members coming and going in this house every day, so it is inevitable that there will be a lot of dust on the ground, and it will definitely turn black if you walk barefoot too much.
In fact, even if there are no crew members walking around, it is impossible to keep the floor and grass spotless, they still have to be dark.
When he saw that the soles of his feet were dark, Chen Derong was embarrassed and ran away, "I'm going to wash my feet."
The way she ran away in a panic made Anita Mui and the others laugh.
Zhou Yan glanced at Li Hong who was not far away, then smiled at Anita Mui and said, "It's hard for you to come here. The scenery at the end of the field is beautiful. I'll take you for a walk nearby."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ana Shen came over and said, "Director Zhou, Zhao Zhao has made arrangements. I want to ask you when you will come over."
Zhou Yan looked embarrassed.
Seeing that Zhou Yan was busy with work, Anita Mui smiled and said, "Don't worry about us, you can do your own thing."
Zhou Yan pondered for a moment and said, "Xiao Xian, take sister Amei, brother and the others around for a walk."
"Okay." Wang Zuxian nodded.
There is no Wang Zuxian drama today, so she has time to entertain Anita Mui and the others.
Of course Anita Mui and the others had no objection, so they followed Wang Zuxian.
Zhou Yan did not let Wang Zuxian take them to play alone, and called two staff members from the crew who were familiar with the local area to follow them.
After they left, Zhou Yan returned to the filming site and started filming the third scene of the day.
Three scenes were completed very smoothly in the morning.
When the third scene was finished, Zhou Yan found Jiang Mengfei immediately and asked him where Anita Mui and the others had gone.
"Sister Amei said she was going boating. She said they got a boat and went out to sea."
"Going to sea?" Zhou Yan's eyes twitched, worried that something might happen to them.
Seeing Zhou Yan's worry, Jiang Mengfei smiled and said, "Oh, just play on the coast, you won't go far, there are people watching."
Hearing him say this, Zhou Yan was relieved. Just now Jiang Mengfei said to go out to sea, he thought it was a long way.
Then he ran to call Anita Mui and the others to come back for dinner.
The fishing boat they got was very small. When Zhou Yan arrived, the boat was just circling two or three hundred meters away from the coast.
Zhou Yan waved at them on the shore, and the captain controlled the boat to the shore.
After getting off the boat, Anita Mui was still reluctant to leave, "The scenery here is really good, but it's a pity that I can't go further, and I want to go to the sea to play."
Hearing that she wanted to go to the sea to play, Zhou Yan smiled and said, "You can go down to play, Jiaochangwei is doing a diving project. Although it has not officially opened yet, you can try it first."
"Really?" Anita Mui said in surprise.
Zhou Yan nodded, "Well, if you want to play, I'll have someone arrange it after dinner, and let them take you out to play in the afternoon."
"That's great." Anita Mui looked around the village and said with emotion, "This place looks quite backward, I didn't expect there is such a project."
"Recently, the tourism industry is being developed here, and there will be more and more projects, and there will be motorboats in a while."
The tourism development of Jiaochangwei is not so fast. According to the government's plan, they must first plan the accommodation, roads and commercial areas in the village. After these basic conditions are in place, they will set up diving, speedboat sea trips and other projects.
Otherwise, no matter how good the project is, if people come and don't live well and eat well, it will greatly affect the experience.
When Zhou Hong was talking to Zhou Yan on the phone before, he heard Zhou Yan mention that the crew wanted to dive, so he said that he could try to do a diving project first. It doesn't matter whether it makes money or not, anyway, it can let the crew have fun.
And now if you try a project, you can also do experiments in advance to see the effect of the tourism project setting.
…
In the afternoon, Zhou Yan did not care about Anita Mui and her friends. He just asked the diving person in charge to take them out to play.
What Zhou Yan did not expect was that Anita Mui and Leslie Cheung had a lot of fun. They thought the scenery of Jiaochangwei was very good, so they chose to stay here directly.
Although the homestay in Jiaochangwei was not officially open, it was still very easy for Anita Mui and her friends to find a place to stay with Zhou Yan.
There was a vacant house rented by the crew before, so they could move in directly.
What Zhou Yan did not expect was that Anita Mui and her friends not only did not leave the next day, but also two new guests came, Lin Qingxia and Carina Lau also came.
Joey Wong accompanied them for a while in the morning and came back at noon.
"They are playing beach volleyball, and they look very happy."
Joey Wong did not participate because she was filming and her skin color could not change too much.
Her scenes were not shot in sequence. If she got tanned now, her shots would be black and white at times, which would affect the effect.
"Well, as long as they are happy."
The filming intensity of the crew was quite high, and Zhou Yan had no time to take care of them. He just told the staff to arrange them well.
The place where Anita Mui and her friends are playing beach volleyball is also one of the filming locations of the crew.
In the original film, there was a scene of playing tennis, but Zhou Yan felt that tennis was not suitable, so he changed it to beach volleyball.
The nets for beach volleyball were all set up by the crew, but they were unexpectedly used by Anita Mui and her friends first.
…
In the end, Anita Mui and her friends stayed here for three days, while Carina Lau and Lin Qingxia stayed for two days.
When they left, they were still a little reluctant.
This can be regarded as a short vacation, and the scenery and everything are quite to their liking.
During the day, they played outside, played diving, played beach volleyball, and sometimes went out to the sea to go to a farther place, and even caught some fish.
At night, when they returned to their residence, several people gathered together to play mahjong.
It's just that this vacation was decided at the last minute, and they didn't arrange too much time. It's good to be able to play for two or three days.
Another regret is that the accommodation conditions are a bit poor.
After all, they are all real houses, and the conditions cannot be as good as those of a resort hotel. We have to wait until the renovation is completed later.
Before getting in the car, Anita Mui and the others said some of their ideas.
Zhou Yan smiled and said, "The renovation will be very fast. When you come over in a while, the situation may be different. When the accommodation conditions are better, I will invite you to come and play."
"You invited us?" Anita Mui laughed, "Speaking of which, we can still be considered half hosts here in Jiaochangwei. After all, it is very close to Hong Kong, but too far from Jinling."
"Yes, if you want to invite, it should be us who invite you to come and play." Carina Lau smiled.
"I'll come again next time if I have a chance, and stay a few more days."
"If you think this place is good, please help promote it."
Anita Mui rolled her eyes, "Why are you acting like a tourism ambassador here?"
Zhou Yan nodded seriously, "I am the tourism ambassador here."
His serious expression made Anita Mui and the others unable to tell whether he was serious or joking.
"Are you serious?"
Tourism ambassadors are not new, but I've never heard of a village hiring a tourism ambassador, and one of Zhou Yan's caliber.
"Really, I've even invested in this place."
Zhou Yan's expression was still very serious, but Anita Mui and the others didn't believe it at all.
"We might believe you if you said he was a tourism ambassador, but it's too fake to say he bought shares." Anita Mui laughed.
Carina Lau also agreed, "Yes, it's too fake."
Joey Wong was laughing beside her. Only she knew that Zhou Yan's last sentence was true, and the first sentence about tourism ambassador was a complete lie.
Although it was not Zhou Yan who bought shares, but the Zhou family, Zhou Yan was right to say so, so he did have the position to ask Anita Mui and the others to help promote Jiaochangwei.
Originally, Anita Mui didn't believe Zhou Yan's investment at all, but she noticed Joey Wong's expression and felt that things might not be as simple as she thought.
Just like the relationship between Zhou Yan and Joey Wong, it was not as simple as they thought before.
The last time Zhou Yan went to Hong Kong for a concert, Anita Mui found that the relationship between him and Joey Wong was not simple, and it seemed that they were already together.
It's just that if they didn't say it, she wouldn't tell anyone.
The arrival of Anita Mui and her team did not affect the filming progress of the crew.
The filming of the crew in the past few days was carried out according to the plan, and the scenes added on the basis of the original plan were also completed well, and there was still enough time.
After a few days of adaptation, Zhou Yan held a meeting with the members of the director team and adjusted the shooting opportunities again, further compressing the shooting time of Jiaochangwei.
The current plan is three days ahead of the earliest plan, and this is after the adjustment of the wedding scene.
After the adjustment of the wedding scene, the difficulty of scheduling and shooting has increased a lot, and the time required must have increased, but the time consumed by this scene has been made up by Zhou Yan.
After Anita Mui and her team left, two days later, Jiaochangwei suddenly had a lot of tourists.
The crew was surprised by the sudden appearance of so many tourists. After Jiang Mengfei ran to ask, he learned that Anita Mui and her team's travel was reported by the news.
Some media also published a photo of Anita Mui and her team playing beach volleyball on the beach.
At first, Zhou Yan was a little worried when he saw the tourists pouring in, fearing that too many people would affect the filming.
But it turned out that he was overthinking. Although there were many more tourists at the end of the field, it did not cause any impact on the filming.
Some tourists did come to watch them filming, but that was nothing. After all, before the tourists came, there were also villagers who came here to watch.
The biggest impact may be that the beach volleyball field was occupied by tourists, and when they wanted to film the beach volleyball scene later, they had to clear the field. (End of this chapter)
