"Don't be sad, Qiurui. Life is always full of ups and downs. I have experienced separations and deaths, and I have become indifferent to them." Li Xin forced a smile, trying to comfort her student.
When Zhang Mingqi saw Li Xin like this, her nose felt sore and tears instantly flowed down.
"Teacher, you must get better soon. Zhou Tan, Mingqi, and I all have good grades and will definitely get into our dream schools in this year's college entrance exam.
"When we go to university this year, you must come and see us off, just like you did last year when Qiu Rui went to study at Yanjing University." Wang Shi said with red eyes.
At this moment, when they saw Li Xin's appearance, they knew that she really didn't have much time left.
"Student Zhang Qiurui, the teacher will not have the chance to see the movie you filmed." Li Xin squeezed Zhang Qiurui's hand and expressed the regret in her heart in words that they both knew.
"Is there no way at all? The doctor said...how much time is left?" Zhang Qiurui understood the meaning of Li Xin's words.
She wanted to see "The Fault in Our Stars" made into a movie, and see the original movie of herself and her fiancé released, thus fulfilling her wish.
"At the shortest, it's four or five months, and at the longest, it would be considered good if we can get through this year." Li Xin smiled indifferently.
"There's still time. You'll be able to see it in the second half of this year at the latest." When Zhang Qiurui saw Li Xin's expression, she made an important decision in her heart.
Li Xin's regret is that she didn't get to see "The Fault in Our Stars" made into a movie, and Zhang Qiurui is determined to make Li Xin's regret come true no matter what and not let her leave with regrets.
She decided to make "The Fault in Our Stars" into a movie and it must be released in the country next year.
She knew that this was not only to fulfill Li Xin's wish, but also to cherish the story of Li Xin and her fiancé.
"Really? You're the only one..."
"It's not too late. Don't you know what I'm capable of? Be smart. If nothing unexpected happens, you'll be able to see it next year."
No one else knew what Zhang Qiurui and Li Xin were talking about, but after seeing what Zhang Qiurui and Li Xin said, Li Xin seemed to be enlightened, with an unprecedented light flashing in her eyes.
It was a light that was a mixture of hope, expectation and relief.
Zhang Qiurui held Li Xin's hand tightly, and their eyes met at this moment. There was no need for words, as they understood each other's intentions.
Zhang Qiurui knew that this decision was not only a promise to Li Xin, but also a challenge and proof of his own abilities.
She must give her all to make "The Fault in Our Stars" a film that touches people's hearts and is remembered.
........
After leaving Li Xin's home, Zhang Qiurui returned home and began to adapt "The Fault in Our Stars" into a script. In his later life, Zhang Qiurui had seen this movie, and he had a clear memory of how to shoot and edit the original film in his mind. He could even improve the bugs in the original movie, so it only took some time to adapt it into a script.
In less than three days, the script was adapted and storyboards were drawn. As for "The Fault in Our Stars", Zhang Qiurui had seen the original film in later life and understood the essence and emotional flow of each scene.
In the design of the storyboard, Zhang Qiurui not only retained the classic scenes in the original film, but also cleverly incorporated his own creativity and understanding.
She knows very well that film is a dual art of vision and emotion. Therefore, she has put a lot of effort into the use of color, light and shadow processing, and camera switching, striving to make every frame touch the hearts of the audience.
Zhang Qiurui drew the storyboards very smoothly and completed all the storyboards before the New Year.
Later, a detailed plan was made. The budget, behind-the-scenes staff, shooting location, actor selection, etc. of the film were all planned in an orderly manner by Zhang Qiurui.
A successful movie requires more than just the script and storyboard design; it also requires a united and collaborative team and preparatory work in the early stages.
In this era, the budget for shooting a movie is at most 200,000 yuan, and the most money is spent on film. As for the film remuneration, it is extremely cheap in this era.
Even the actors in major film studios receive a fixed salary from the studios.
This is not like in later generations, where a star's salary can be calculated in millions or tens of millions.
Photographers, artists, lighting technicians and crew members can all be selected from the school, and all they need to do is provide them with meals.
Zhang Qiurui planned to buy rice, flour and vegetables from the trading supermarket, and then hire a few people to cook and supply meals to the crew members, which could further reduce costs. Even some clothing could be bought in the trading supermarket.
After the Chinese New Year in 1979, Zhang Qiurui had been pondering and perfecting the storyboards and shooting plans for the film, anticipating what problems might arise during the filming and looking for solutions in advance.
During the actual shooting process, there are always various unexpected challenges. She tries her best to be fully prepared to deal with any possible variables.
........。
On February 14th, after registering for the new semester, I returned to the dormitory. Hu Mei, Li Shaohong, Liu Miaomiao, Peng Xiaolian and others had already arrived and were gathered together chattering about something.
As soon as Zhang Qiurui opened the door, they immediately stopped talking, turned around, and had welcoming smiles on their faces.
"Qiurui, you're finally here!" Hu Mei was the first to stand up. She walked quickly to Zhang Qiurui and helped her put her luggage aside.
"Zhuangzhuang just told us to get together at Zhuxinzhuang at six o'clock today." Li Shaohong stood up and helped Zhang Qiurui make the bed.
