What is all this about?
The whole family is dead. Where is hope and life? Will it thrive on the microorganisms between the bones?
The original author thought the script was only worth three thousand yuan. Ji Juntao thought it could win awards and hone Shang Yechu's "pain." Shang Yechu himself felt that the script was flat and bland with no commercial appeal. But when it came to Sheng Wenzhi, the script became "full of vitality," "unyielding hope," and "overflowing with inspiration."
The same script can have four different interpretations in the eyes of four different people!
At that moment, Shang Yechu suddenly realized Ji Juntao's strategic vision.
If four people have four different perspectives, how many interpretations would a thousand viewers have?
At the very least, this is not a thin film.
Shang Yechu replied: 【The filming date hasn't been set yet.】
Why do you feel this script has a lot of potential?
Sheng Wenzhi typed for a long time and sent a rather long message:
Many details reveal this. For example, the setting description in the first act, the portrayal of the villagers, the dialogue on page 12; and...
Sheng Wenzhi sent a long message, and after Shang Yechu read it, she typed a few more words:
Which role do you think I'd be best suited for?
Sheng Wenzhi replied:
Judging from her age, she should be playing the granddaughter role. This is a good role; it's complex and meaningful.
Shang Yechu raised an eyebrow: [It's obvious the mute old woman has more screen time, so why say the granddaughter's role is more complex?]
Shang Yechu read the script several times but couldn't see anything complicated about her granddaughter. Any young person she'd picked up on the street could play the role. And the scenes didn't deviate from the traditional framework of a college student.
Although the mute woman has a lot of screen time, it's all just meaningless madness.
The insightful thinking of rational individuals is what truly brings a film to life.
I'm guessing that the author of this script is that granddaughter, right?
Shang Yechu: "..."
You'd better stop guessing.
In just one hour, Shang Yechu finally understood what it meant to have "a thousand Hamlets in a thousand readers' minds." Rather than asking around and letting others' opinions influence one's own, it's better to experience it for oneself.
Although Ji Juntao was sharp-tongued and sarcastic (Shang Yechu would never admit that she was like him when arguing), what he said was very true. Emotional issues are the most important part of acting. If one can only "simulate" emotions rather than "express" them, Shang Yechu will only be able to work in commercial films and ordinary TV dramas for the rest of her life.
Shang Yechu decided to take on this role. Not for anyone else, but for herself.
-----------------
The day after the reorganization was completed, the "Xiao Feng Que" crew set off in a grand procession.
Jinsha City is not too far from Hengshi City, but due to topography, altitude and other issues, the climate is very different from that of Hengshi City.
The production team of "Xiao Feng Que" chose a cluster of guesthouses as their accommodation. Adjacent to the guesthouses was a small desert area, making it an ideal location for filming.
Yi Tianzhao's original plan was to quickly finish filming the desert scenes and leave the area. Unfortunately, things in this world often don't go as planned—perhaps the "curse of Xiao Fengque" had struck again.
The hygiene conditions of guesthouses are always inconsistent, and Yi Tianzhao and many of the actors and staff were used to city life. Add to that the inherently unstable desert temperatures, and it was early spring, a time when birds don't lay eggs and the heating was off. During the day, the thick yellow sand howled, cutting like knives across their faces and mouths; the temperature easily reached over thirty degrees Celsius, leaving them drenched in sweat; at night, a cool breeze blew through the room, the food grew cold, the blankets were icy, and the desert water was hard—
Many staff members and actors, including director Yi Tianzhao, all collapsed within three days of arriving here.
The film crew was in a state of utter despair.
Yi Tianzhao's disregard for her health is roughly on par with Shang Yechu's; in other words, she's just as reckless with her work as Shang Yechu. What's more serious is that she's middle-aged and past her physical prime.
The desert is unforgiving, tormenting everyone equally. Yi Tianzhao, along with several weak staff members and actors, suffered from vomiting and diarrhea, dehydration, and exhaustion. Lying in bed, they experienced alternating chills and fever, with some even delirious from the high temperature.
This condition is called traveler's diarrhea, also known as acclimatization sickness. Science currently has no way to overcome it. The only option is to send patients to the city hospital in batches, while the rest remain on standby.
They've been here for three days, but haven't filmed much; a third of the crew is now empty.
Since filming began, the crew of "Xiao Feng Que" has never had such a long and leisurely holiday.
