Chapter 353: Filming of "Wind Blowing Midsummer" Begins
Su Zi was lucky. After contacting the person in charge of the national TV station, the other party happened to be free, so he happily arranged a meeting time.
After exchanging pleasantries, Su Zi let Guan Yumei speak on her own and talk to the person in charge about the planning of the documentary, while she supplemented her ideas.
Guan Yumei was worried at first whether the person in charge would be unhappy about dealing with a little-known director like her. However, after she started talking about the plan, the person in charge looked calm and nodded in approval repeatedly, which made her relax slowly and more and more ideas came to her mind as she spoke.
"Your documentary is a good thing! I can take the initiative to get the broadcasting rights. Let's shoot it first to see the effect, and then we can discuss the cost of the broadcasting rights based on the funds you invest."
"I am very optimistic about this documentary, it is very meaningful. Our country is vast and rich in resources. Many places, even in the same province, the same city, or even adjacent counties, have different customs and food characteristics."
"Hurry up and file a case for filming. I will apply to the higher authorities after I return and ask all local cultural departments to cooperate. When you go to a local city, it is best to start with the cultural department. They understand the local situation and it will be more convenient for you to film. You will have a goal in mind and will not be looking around like a headless fly."
"But since this is a documentary, it's best to be realistic and not smear the region or use exaggerated gimmicks to attract audiences."
The person in charge paused after saying this, and when he saw Su Zi beside him, he started to laugh, "My words are redundant. With President Su here, what I just said would never happen."
"After all, our President Su is a director who has been praised by the higher-ups."
Su Zi, who was calm and composed on the side, suddenly felt embarrassed.
He immediately said modestly: "To be honest, I just did what I thought I should do. I still have a lot of shortcomings and need to continue to learn."
In response to her modesty, the person in charge just smiled and said nothing.
The topic turned to the documentary again, and after further understanding, he nodded with satisfaction.
"Then it's settled. Give me a copy of the plan later so I can take it back and report it to the boss."
"Okay, I look forward to seeing you next time."
After the person in charge left, Guan Yumei breathed a sigh of relief.
Su Zi teased with a kind smile: "What's the matter? Sister Yumei, are you nervous?"
"I was nervous. Really nervous. I've never interacted with people from a national TV station before."
"Mr. Su, let's not delay any longer and go back quickly." Guan Yumei couldn't wait to start filming the documentary.
"You go back first, I have some other things to deal with here."
"Okay, I'll go first then."
After Guan Yumei left, Su Zi sat in the coffee shop for a while before getting up and leaving.
At the first stop, she navigated to the nearest library and stayed there for about two hours before leaving, taking two books with her.
The second stop was to a dim sum shop and buy a box of small cakes.
At the third stop, she took these things to the riverside park and sat there for most of the day.
The person in charge of following her was very envious when he saw her leisurely reading a book, eating snacks and taking a sip of milk tea from time to time.
At the same time, I don’t understand why the higher-ups are keeping a close eye on Su Zi?
This is already the third month of keeping an eye on her.
The people who had been watching once withdrew, and then new people were assigned to watch later.
But apart from working in the company and filming, there is almost nothing special about them.
I don’t understand what the leadership is thinking.
When the stalker was confused, he didn't notice Su Zi's gaze, and looked in his direction intentionally or unintentionally.
It was dark when Su Zi got up and left, driving away.
Keep staring at me, keep staring at me, and see what you can find out from me.
The corners of her mouth slowly curled up.
…
Su Zi can now easily pretend that these stalkers do not exist.
Anyway, the presence of these people will not affect her filming. Since she has not figured out their purpose yet, she will not act rashly and everything is as usual.
It just so happened that the actors for the drama "Wind Blows in Half Summer" that she was going to film were almost ready and filming was about to start.
Because it was a period business war drama, she kept all the sets and props from her previous filmings, which saved her a lot of money.
With the experience from the last build, this time it was built faster.
The two books she brought from the library both introduced the clothing and makeup features of the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s.
At that time, all industries were flourishing and all places were in a stage of rapid development, so people's mental outlook also showed a positive attitude.
After Sun Yiyan was dressed up, Su Zi immediately got the feeling he wanted.
Especially her thick hair, which really adds points and gives her a very vintage feel.
As soon as she appeared, everyone was amazed.
Now all the staff feel that the director seems to have a special talent in casting for each drama, and every person selected is 100% compatible with the role.
Sun Yiyan's big waves and red lips are so charming.
Zhang Yiming, Lin Mo, Lin Chenna, and Wang Zichen took turns to appear on stage. Once each of them started their roles, they quickly got into the role and integrated naturally with the scene behind them.
Once the final makeup photos were taken, the filming of the drama officially began.
Su Zi, who has always liked real-life shooting, found a scrap steel factory and built a temporary shooting location there.
Here, Su Zi discovered a particularly strange child.
He was small and looked about eight or nine years old. Every morning when they started filming he would come over, hide in the corner and watch carefully for more than ten minutes, and then leave.
This happened every day during the shoot.
Su Zi treated everyone to milk tea today and bought a cup for the child as well. As soon as she walked over, the child turned around and ran away.
"Hey, kid, don't run away. This is for you to drink."
The more Su Zi shouted, the faster the child ran.
The owner of the scrap steel factory happened to see it and came over, "Director Su, stop shouting, he can't hear you."
"ah?"
"Ah, it's all his family's fault. His father used to do hard labor in my steel mill, but because of his intellectual disability, he couldn't do much work and could only barely make ends meet."
"When the mother was not ill, she was normal, but when she was ill, it was very scary. When the child was ten years old, he was fine, smart and normal, and often came to help. Later, when she had an illness, the couple treated the child as a toy and took turns to slap him. From then on, the child became deaf."
"If the child's grandmother hadn't returned in time, he might have died."
"If you ask me, it's better to die than to be born and suffer this pain."
"After his grandmother passed away, his life became even more miserable. The higher-ups intervened and sent his parents to a mental hospital. They originally wanted to send him to his grandparents, but they were no longer around, and his uncles were unwilling to take care of him."
"In the end, they had to be sent to an orphanage."
