After showing the script, shooting plan, and storyboard to Situ Zhaodun and others, and after he had the funds and decided on the share with Qingying Studio, Situ Zhaodun took the script to the radio and television department for review and filing.
During these few days, Zhang Qiurui, Situ Zhaodun and others also decided on the behind-the-scenes staff of the crew. On the second day, Zhang Qiurui also gave Situ Zhaodun 100,000 yuan for the early preparations for the film.
"Is there anything our acting department can help with?" After seeing that the early progress of Zhang Qiurui's film was smoother than she had imagined, Xu Yan also wanted to help.
"That's true. Teacher Xu, most of the scenes for this movie were shot at the Zhuxinzhuang filming base.
So, we plan to ask a few people to cook for the crew at school.
This means we have to buy a lot of rice, flour and other food. These days we bought some rice, flour and other food in Zhuxinzhuang and the center of Yanjing City. As you know, these things are hard to buy even if you have money.
"See if you have any ideas about where you can help us purchase some. Money is not a problem." Zhang Qiurui said.
However, Situ Zhaodun, Xie Fei, Zheng Guoran and others also used their own connections to buy some rice, flour and other food.
It’s just that the quantity is not much, only about 500 kilograms.
These days, you need food coupons to buy rice, flour and other things, and you can’t buy them even if you have money.
However, Zhang Qiurui secretly got 1,500 kilograms of it from the trading supermarket and stored it in the house they rented in Zhu Xinzhuang. When others asked about it, Zhang Qiurui said that someone helped him get it back.
Just like doing accounting, no one will be able to see any flaws.
Up to now, Zhang Qiurui has stored 2,000 kilograms of rice and flour in the house he rented in Zhuxinzhuang.
"Qiu Rui, how much food have you stockpiled now?" Situ Zhaodun asked with concern.
"Almost two thousand pounds."
"So many? It's enough for forty people to eat for more than a month. Buying another four or five hundred kilograms will be enough." Situ Zhaodun was a little surprised when he heard it.
The entire crew consists of only forty people, and each person eats about 1.5 kilograms of food every day. He estimates that the film will take about forty to fifty days to shoot, and no more than two months at most.
By this calculation, buying another four or five hundred kilograms of grain will be enough.
"I know all about these things." Zhang Qiurui nodded. In fact, she planned to buy another thousand kilograms of rice and flour from the trading supermarket in a few days and store them in the warehouse. Anyway, she didn't need a ticket to buy rice and flour from the trading supermarket, and the price was just over ten cents.
Two or three thousand kilograms of rice and flour only cost a few hundred yuan.
........。
Time flies, and it is February 25th in a blink of an eye.
There is no opening ceremony or anything like that when filming these days, and the actors are all very dedicated. Everyone arrived at the shooting site early and started the intense filming work.
"Teacher Xu and Fang Shu's first scene was when the heroine's illness relapsed. As a mother, Teacher Xu needed to express the layers of worry, heartache, and fear.
As the heroine, Fang Shu, you need to delicately show the pain and fear when the disease relapses, as well as your deep dependence and reluctance to leave your mother, but in the end you seem to be indifferent to it.
Relax a bit, we'll go through it first. We won't be shooting with film, so don't worry about wasting it." Zhang Qiurui saw Fang Shu was a little nervous, so she patted her shoulder comfortingly.
"Are all the departments ready?" Zhang Qiurui stood on the set and looked around. An aura of confidence and a sense of forbearance spread out from her, making people instantly forget her age and instead making everyone obey her orders.
It seemed that she had a unique charm that made people convinced involuntarily. Some people were originally skeptical or lazy, but after her gaze swept over them, they all became fully focused and devoted themselves to the filming that was about to begin.
"The lights are all ready."
“Everything is ready for photography.”
"The props and sets have also been confirmed to be correct."
"Are the actors ready?" Zhang Qiurui's voice was clearly and powerfully conveyed to everyone's ears.
"Get in position, Director!"
"The Fault in Our Stars, scene one, act one, begins." The script supervisor brought out a clapperboard and slammed it shut, signaling the official start of filming.
Xu Yan quickly got into character. Her eyes first focused on Fang Shu, filled with gentle concern, her brows furrowed, her worry evident, fear deep in her eyes, yet she pretended to be strong on the outside.
Fang Shu's body trembled slightly, her hands clenched into fists, and a trace of fear flashed in her eyes, a deep fear of death. Then, this fear turned into a deep attachment and reluctance to leave her mother.
"It's passed. Yimou, everything is recorded, right?" Zhang Qiurui sat in front of the monitor and nodded with satisfaction. The filming of this scene was beyond her expectations and went extremely smoothly.
She looked at Xu Yan and Fang Shu. Both of them were immersed in their roles, as if the scene just now was not just a performance, but an expression of their true emotions.
Zhang Qiurui knew very well that such a performance state was hard to come by, and she secretly felt fortunate that she had chosen the right actor.
Zhang Yimou, Zhang Huijun and Gu Changwei competed fairly for the opportunity. When filming the last big scene, they submitted shooting plans and color usage, and Zhang Qiurui finally chose Zhang Yimou.
In his later years, Zhang Yimou was good at using rich color layers and contrasts, giving film and television works a profound and unique visual language.
