The news that a big director was coming to the village to film a movie had spread as early as the day these people came to the village carrying cameras.
Everyone was curious and excited. They shared Tao Ma's idea that their village would be on TV and maybe even their own house would be filmed.
I wonder if the director will film the villagers, so can they join in the fun and see themselves on TV in the future? There are many people standing in and outside the courtyard of the brick house, all of them leaning their heads to look inside.
I saw several people holding cameras, filming here and there. Finally, the person in charge next to me looked at the small screen on the machine for a while and frowned.
The owner was very happy when he heard that his house was going to be rented for a TV series, and he cleaned the already tidy house again inside and out. But now he looked at the attitude of the location producer, and he seemed dissatisfied, so he asked Wang Junpeng in a low voice.
Wang Junpeng acted as his mouthpiece and went to ask the location producer.
After they talked for a few words, Wang Junpeng took them out and went to the next house.
Some of the onlookers asked the homeowner who was seeing the guests off: "How was it? Did you decide to shoot at your home?"
The homeowner shook his head: "I don't know, he just said something about the lighting being bad."
The old-style blue brick and tile house had relatively small windows. It was just past noon and the sun was still strong, but only the main room with the door open was bright inside.
Jing Yujun likes to use natural light when filming, morning, noon, evening, sunny days, cloudy days, sunlight, moonlight and starlight. He hopes that the audience can see the changing light through the lens and thus clearly perceive the time in the play.
Only such pictures can give people a vivid sense of reality, making people feel that the characters and stories in the play are truly living and happening in such scenes and environments.
The lighting in many TV dramas nowadays, especially those in period costumes, is so harsh that it hurts your eyes.
During the day, the pictures are all the same color, and it is impossible to tell the time period. But at night, an oil lamp or a candle in the room can produce the effect of an incandescent lamp. When the outdoor "searchlight" is turned on, it is as bright as day, as if the gods have cast a spell.
false.
Ultimately, it’s all about carelessness, which crushes the audience’s aesthetic taste.
The person who was talking to the homeowner said, "You probably didn't like it. Why don't you just go to my house? My house is newly built, and the windows are very big, so every room is bright."
The landlord kicked him and said, as if he was joking, "Then go talk to the director and see if he's willing to rent it."
Someone nearby replied, "Haven't you heard that they are looking for old houses? It would be strange if they would be interested in your newly built two-story building."
The man smiled and patted the footprints on his trouser legs: "I won't say anything more to you. I'll continue to watch the fun."
Next they went to the courtyard of the Tao and Hong families at the east end of the village.
Their house is a bungalow that is quite old. This house was built for Tao Jiahong's girlfriend.
The girl's family disliked the shabby house of the Tao and Hong families and kept preventing them from getting married. They said that if they wanted to get married, they had to build a new house, otherwise there was no way they could get married.
Tao Jiahong's family was not wealthy, and after discussion, the girl's family agreed to let them build a bungalow first and then add a small building when they had money later.
After the bungalow was built, the girl's parents started asking for a dowry. The amount they asked for was a bit too much, and Tao Jiahong's family couldn't afford it. After several rounds of negotiations, the other party just wouldn't give in.
Tao Jiahong privately asked the girl what she really thought. The girl was also very embarrassed and finally said, "I will listen to my parents."
So the marriage fell through.
Later, his family arranged a blind date for Tao Jiahong, but he was annoyed by the idea of a bride price, and he decided to go out to work out of spite and to escape.
He held his breath, thinking that he must make something of himself in the future to show off to those people, but he didn't expect to be deceived into a pyramid scheme.
The fact that he was rescued by the police could not be concealed. Later, Wang Junpeng visited Tao Jiahong on behalf of the village committee. He was thinking of helping him find a suitable job to make a living, so he had already gone to Tao Huayu's construction site.
When the crew came to shoot a movie and needed to choose a house, before the location producer had even finished speaking, Wang Junpeng thought of Tao Jiahong's house. Secretly, he also wanted to help him and make some extra money.
After Wang Junpeng explained the whole story and the specific location of the house, the location producer immediately matched what he said with what he had filmed in his mind - it was exactly the one that Jing Yujun had chosen.
So the location producer agreed calmly. Anyway, he had to go and see the actual situation first. The final choice would still be decided by the director. If the situations were similar, he could do him a favor.
After having breakfast, Tao Jiahong went to the construction site near the old village committee. He did not come back because they provided him with lunch at noon. Suddenly, he received a call from his mother, saying that some people from a film crew were coming to their house to look at the house. So he hurriedly asked for leave from Tao Huayu and went home.
Tao Huayu even joked with him: "Brother, when the drama is broadcast and the heroine becomes famous, your house will probably become a tourist attraction, and there will be no shortage of fans coming to check in. Remember to charge them then, five yuan for one photo."
"Let's just take a look. We haven't even started yet." Tao Jiahong limped home with a smile on his face, which had gained a little weight.
When he got home, there were already quite a few people standing at the door and in the yard. His parents even poured tea for Wang Junpeng and the people filming.
The layout of the Tao family and Hong's family is very neat. The main room in the middle of the bungalow is the living room, and there is a bedroom on each side. The space is quite large, facing north and south, with large windows and very good light.
There is a wing room on each side of the yard, one is the kitchen and the other is the bedroom.
This bedroom is where Jiahong's father sleeps. The old couple are old, and Jiahong's mother is a light sleeper. She dislikes Jiahong's father's snoring, so she sent him to sleep over here.
Their dry toilet was also filled in when the new house was built, and the current toilet makes use of the space under the stairs and is made into a modern style.
"Is Jiahong back?"
Tao Jiahong responded to everyone's call and walked inside. When he reached the main room, he found that they had finished filming.
The parents sat awkwardly in their chairs, looked at the reaction on the location producer's face, and then turned their gaze to Wang Junpeng.
Wang Junpeng was more concerned than them and went over to ask.
The location producer secretly thought that this one was the right one, but he still replied, "It's good, but we have to go through two more. The final decision will depend on our director."
Before leaving, Wang Junpeng patted Tao Jiahong on the shoulder, his eyes seemed to say: "Live a good life, I will try to help you get this benefit."
Tao Jiahong's clothes were stained with dust from the construction site, and a small cloud of dust immediately rose up when he was patted. Wang Junpeng didn't mind, but Tao Jiahong smiled awkwardly and waved his hand to disperse it.
