Two days later,
After choosing the shooting location, we chose a small town near Hengdian. The buildings there are nice, and it was originally planned and built in European style, which is very suitable for shooting.
So the crew started another busy preparation, and finally, on April 17, all the crew members set off in the warm sunshine of Dongmo!
Wei Shaoyan led the staff on a bus, while Qin Sheng and Xiao Yuqin were in a car.
This trip was driven by veteran driver Qin Sheng, whose driving skills were steady and the entire journey was basically smooth. Xiao Yuqin was sitting in the passenger seat with an iPad, watching the newly released popular variety show "Actors Please Take Your Place".
"Actors Please Take Your Place" was pushed to the homepage of Penguin Video as a showcase early on because of its fresh subject matter and strong cast, along with the previous inserted trailers of major TV series, so as soon as it was launched at 0:00 in the morning, it quickly became popular and ranked first on the Penguin Video variety show list.
Among them, Qin Sheng's outspokenness has also received a lot of comments, with mixed reviews. Some said that Qin Sheng did a good job and that this kind of variety show requires telling the truth, but some said that Qin Sheng is too naive and does not know how to leave a way out for others.
Xiao Yuqin watched the entire video very attentively, especially the comments, reading almost every word. This caused her expression to change a lot, sometimes smiling lightly, and sometimes frowning...
She took a moment to glance at Qin Sheng, who was driving seriously. The dirty words of some people emerged in her mind. After thinking for a while, she said softly, "Qin Sheng, you don't need to pay attention to those people's comments..."
I confirmed through my eyes that I was heartbroken...
Qin Sheng smiled helplessly and said, "Don't worry, I won't let some negative comments ruin my mentality. No one in this world will ever be as popular as the RMB..."
"It's great that you think so."
Xiao Yuqin smiled very ladylike, her voice clear and sweet, similar to the sound of water flowing after the snow has just melted.
Qin Sheng glanced back at her and sneered, "Speaking of which, you still have time to watch variety shows? Have you memorized the script?"
Why are you acting like a teacher?
Xiao Yuqin was speechless. She rolled her eyes at Qin Sheng and held her iPad upright against her chest like a notebook. She looked out the window, leaving Qin Sheng with a cute back of her head. "I've already memorized it."
Qin Sheng glanced down, his woolen coat revealing a towering height. His lips were a little dry, but he still feigned a vicious scolding, "Okay, if you say so, if anything goes wrong this afternoon, I'll spank you hard tonight!"
Hearing this, Xiao Yuqin blushed and snorted, "Shameless! I don't want it!"
…
Three hours later, the crew members arrived at the scene safely and couldn't help but admire and applaud the scene before them.
Because this town is so beautiful, it's like a fairy tale.
Blue sky and white clouds, a gentle breeze, lush trees on the path, neat European-style houses along the roadside, wild vines spreading... even the air seems to be filled with the scent of beauty.
"Tsk tsk, Director Qin must have spent a ton of money on this set. How come I didn't even know about this place before?"
Photographer Lao Qin set up his tripod and admired this rare sight. He couldn't help but sigh, "I suddenly feel so tired of life. I really want to kiss this woman here and rest in the harbor of her chest..."
"I'll go to yours."
A fellow employee standing by couldn't help but laugh and scolded, "You're still talking about the harbor in front of your chest. Don't embarrass yourself by showing off your little bit of culture."
Lao Qin hated being called uneducated. After all, he was a college graduate. It was just that he was born in the countryside and still had that rustic air about him. His last blind date failed because of this, and the woman rejected him. So when someone touched his sore spot, he immediately flew into a rage.
"You are cultured, that's all you need to know. Then come up with a sentence more beautiful than mine!"
"No, Director Qin and the boss lady are here, so hurry up and set up the equipment."
When Lao Qin heard his companion's words, he thought for a moment and asked suspiciously, "Hey, what kind of movie is Director Qin going to shoot this time? Why are they going to film in pairs?"
"A romance movie." The man thought for a moment and said.
"What? A romance?" Old Qin was completely bewildered. Suddenly, he waved his hands in disappointment, "I never expected that Director Qin would follow the same path as those other directors. What's so good about romance movies? It's just a melodramatic breakup followed by a passionate kiss. Boring, boring!"
"That's not necessarily true. I don't think Director Qin would be like that. I've seen it a long time ago. Our Director Qin doesn't follow the path of ordinary people."
"You, just wait, you'll know when we start filming."
Watching his companion walk away, Lao Qin's eyebrows furrowed into an inverted eight, "Are you so confident?"
"But why do I just refuse to believe it? What kind of romance movie can you make?"
…
Near lunchtime, Qin Sheng called a brief meeting with the leaders of each group. At the same time, he carefully informed the photography and makeup teams of the storyboard script and makeup requirements. Of course, the lighting team was also busy. Qin Sheng was very strict about the lighting effect. After all, this was a movie, not a TV series, and deviations in lighting could easily cause the audience to lose interest.
After carefully reviewing the film's requirements and plans, the group of men couldn't help but make fun of Qin Sheng. They already knew that Qin Sheng would be the male lead this time.
"Tsk tsk, I can actually see Director Qin's drama in my lifetime, I'm looking forward to it~"
"Director Qin, can you handle competing with the best actress?"
"Don't let anyone pin you down and keep you from getting up."
"Ha ha ha ha."
The crowd laughed awkwardly, and Qin Sheng let them joke around. After all, they were old employees who had worked together many times and had a close relationship, so there was naturally no need for him to care too much about the director's authority.
After leaving the makeshift tent, Qin Sheng went to the dressing room to put on makeup. Worried that the makeup artist wouldn't understand him well, Qin Sheng even gave some instructions.
"Don't worry about it looking too bad. Just do your 80-year-old makeup the way you want."
The makeup artist immediately understood and began to rub and wipe Qin Sheng's face.
Half an hour later, after enduring a painstaking facial makeup session by the makeup artist, Qin Sheng slowly opened his eyelids.
In the mirror, dry, silver-white hair, damaged by disposable hair dye and other chemicals, drooped on his forehead. Beneath it was dry, withered skin, imprinted on his face like cement, making him feel extremely uncomfortable. The outer corners of his eyes turned slightly downward, and the sides of his nose were also painted with heavy nasolabial folds.
Qin Sheng almost couldn't recognize himself!
