Huayu after the system left

..........

The day.

Yang Mi rushed back to Shanghai.

After quickly packing up at home, I went straight to the "Zhu Xian" film crew to report for duty.

But Zhou Yang's first words to her were, "I thought I could save the cost of a plane ticket."

Yang Mi rolled her eyes. "You stingy bastard! You're so cheap! You even haggle over such a small amount of money. Don't forget, I acted for free."

"There's no way around it. You only truly realize how expensive oil and rice are after you take charge of the household, so you have to save as much as you can."

"Tch, so when do we set off?"

"The advance team arrived in Guizhou yesterday and should be finalizing the filming locations. You can go with the second group tomorrow."

"A second wave? What about you?"

"I still have some follow-up work to arrange, and I also need to wait for my mom to come over, otherwise Ranran will be left without anyone to take care of her."

"Isn't your younger sister playing Xiao Huan? Why not just have her stay on set all the time?"

"Don't come up with such a bad idea. Ranran is still a high school student and will have to go to university in the future. We must not let her develop the bad habit of skipping school to join the crew. So it's not too late to let her join the crew when Xiaohuan's scenes are ready."

"Okay, that's very thoughtful. You're such a good older brother."

Zhou Yang responded with a slight smile.

Then he took Yang Mi to the actors' side.

In the following days.

The crew members set off one after another.

Some people take a plane directly, while others take other means of transportation due to equipment limitations.

The green train is alright; if you're in a calm state of mind, you can really enjoy the scenery along the way. Several actors have passed by on this train.

The truly miserable ones are the staff of Tianfeng and Tianjian, who have to ride in large trucks alongside those massive pieces of equipment the entire time.

10 month 14 day.

Zhou Yang has finally arranged the subsequent filming schedule.

First, I went to Tangren to take a look at the post-production of "Qingninglu".

After finding no problems, he said goodbye to his elderly mother and sister and hurriedly headed to the airport.

The only companions were Liu Manting, the styling director, and her newly assembled makeup and styling team; the rest of the group had already set off earlier.

Including Yang Mi.

I saw Brother Wang seeing his wife off.

Zhou Yang immediately leaned over and whispered, "What about what you promised me?"

The other person rolled their eyes. "I've already given it to your sister-in-law for safekeeping. She said she'll give it back to you once filming is on track."

"Alright, it seems we definitely won't be able to get it anytime soon."

"Good to know, but that doesn't mean I broke my promise."

"Tch, who knows if this was your idea? I just wanted to set up a few fake accounts in advance. Do you two have to be so wary?"

Wang Ge was quite helpless about this, but he still patiently explained, "Tingting is afraid that you'll cross-dress too much and accidentally become a target for friendly fire."

"Alright, I don't have any inspiration right now anyway, so let's focus our main energy on filming."

"I'll say it again, please be very careful. It's better to spend more money than to rush into doing anything risky. If the investment isn't enough, I'll find a way. I'll definitely make sure you finish filming."

Although Zhou Yang had heard this many times.

But he still answered very solemnly as before, "Brother Wang, don't worry, I guarantee nothing will happen. It's definitely to play it safe. Besides, isn't your wife watching over us?"

"You'd better do that, after all, there are a lot of eyes in the industry right now on 'Zhu Xian,' and you know why."

Zhou Yang nodded.

Let's just say that.

The actions of the pre-production team were leaked by the assistant directors, which immediately alerted many veteran directors, especially the older ones.

Upon hearing this, they were reminded of their time as photographers working as tools.

no way.

They look so alike.

First, brainstorm and discuss, then break down the project, and finally develop a complete shooting plan.

This is what Zhou Yang has been doing during this period, and it was also the norm for various film crews before the director-centric system was introduced to China. Many classics were almost all filmed in this way.

Here's a brief overview.

This is an application of democratic centralism in the film and television industry, which can fully unleash the initiative of talented individuals, thus ensuring that the project's potential will exceed everyone's expectations.

Otherwise, how did those classics come about?

Although many directors and veterans have already succumbed to the power of capital.

However, they pretended nothing had happened and maintained their usual arrogant attitude in front of others, especially on set where they would constantly emphasize their authority, while outwardly they would use so-called artistry and professionalism to package themselves.

These people would absolutely not allow the restoration of the old system, simply to maintain this false status.

but.

What if "Zhu Xian" makes money using this kind of filming method?

This has shown capitalists a system that is more effective than the director-centric system, and they may not even have the chance to kneel down anymore.

Therefore, those previous rumors were just the beginning.

It was merely a tentative attack by the veterans.

Zhou Yang was fully aware of this.

This gives us another reason to make "Zhu Xian" and "Wilderness Journey" classics.

Over the years, he has been disgusted by the things those people filmed.

......

The prototype of the Ten Thousand Mountains is Guizhou.

Therefore, even before location scouting began, Zhou Yang had already set the scope of the Southern Xinjiang episode there, and he was not disappointed during the subsequent filming process.

Besides the Southern Xinjiang episode, a significant portion of the filming is set in Guizhou.

After regrouping with the advance troops.

Zhou Yang then immediately began arranging work.

The first scene originally planned was to film the part where Gui Li becomes a demon.

However, Tianfeng was not ready yet. Not only would the algorithm need a few more days to be fully perfected, but the high humidity in Guizhou also meant that many drones needed to be recalibrated.

After hearing this...

Zhou Yang immediately changed the filming plan.

Thus, the first scene was changed from the Qilidong storyline to the Tianshui Village storyline, a shift in sequence.

Although they were filming in different locations, they started filming normally after only one day, spending most of their time on the road.

This is the advantage of planning ahead.

If it were other film crews, they would probably have to wait until Tianfeng Company finished its debugging.

10 month 16 day.

7 PM.

The first scene of "Zhu Xian" has begun filming.

Let me briefly describe the plot.

After rescuing Xiaobai from the Xuanhuan Altar, Guili learned a clue about the resurrection technique from her. So, the man, the fox, and the monkey headed straight for Qilidong.

While resting at Tianshui Village, they unexpectedly encountered Jin Ping'er, who was being chased by Lu Xueqi and the disciples of Fenxiang Valley.

Never thought.

Gui Li originally did not want to get involved.

However, Jin Ping'er used the name "Qilidong" to force him to show himself and to stop Lu Xueqi, who posed the greatest threat to her.

The male and female protagonists stopped tacitly after a brief exchange.

Then came Lu Xueqi's Moonlit Sword Dance and Deep Scar Farewell.

However, Zhou Yang has a rather wicked sense of humor.

The first scene was arranged to be a battle between two beauties, Lu Xueqi and Jin Ping'er.

To borrow a phrase from Lu Ziqiao, I love watching women fight.
