I am selling house insurance in the entertainment industry

◎Our village is going to make a movie! ◎

The purpose of going to the countryside is naturally to shoot short films.

After choosing their destination, they got on the train early the next morning and hurried here.

At this time, everyone was sitting behind the agricultural three-jump cart, and the morning sun was very hot. Although there was nothing to shade them, everyone didn't care.

On the contrary, after coming to the countryside, far away from the hustle and bustle of the big city, even breathing feels very refreshing, and being in close contact with the air of nature, I feel that any troubles and stress have been healed.

Of course, this pure natural and pollution-free raw chemical fertilizer smell must be automatically ignored.

After thanking the fellow for taking them for a ride, they arrived at the place where they lived temporarily, put down their luggage and things, drank a few sips of water, and they didn't have time to rest, so they went around the neighborhood non-stop.

To shoot, of course, you have to find a scene first.

Fortunately, Zhang Laihe has been here before, and he has inspected many shooting locations, and basically knows all of them by heart, but just in case, he still has to take a look around.

Their shooting time this time, the plan is to spend 8 to 10 days to complete the shooting of this short film. The length of the short film will not be too long, basically controlled at about 10 minutes.

It was also because it didn't take long that a large group of them followed.

Zhang Laihe has always been making films by himself, occasionally asking a few people to help, but this time all four of them followed, and there is no need to bring others.

Some jobs that need help, they are familiar with shooting MVs during this period, and they can basically reach out.

Of course, this is mainly because they shoot short films, which don't need to be so professional. Of course, the main reason is that they don't have much budget. To put it bluntly, they are still poor.

Lin Zhou wanted to help, but he couldn't spend the company's money, and he didn't have much money himself. The only thing he could do was to buy an extra meat dish when buying vegetables for them.

In addition, it is to try to figure out the role and try not to let myself delay the progress.

Of course, this play is not his own one-man show, in addition to his leading role, there must be a supporting role.

Naturally, it costs money to hire a supporting role. Zhang Laihe doesn't have that much money to hire people. His plan is to use local materials and directly invite local villagers to cooperate in acting.

Although money was still required, everyone was very simple and didn't ask for more money. On the contrary, the village chief knew that they were "making movies", at least he thought so, and provided them with many venues for free.

It made everyone very embarrassed.

In the end, Brother Ma went out and talked with the village head, and finally negotiated and signed an agreement. They still had to pay the money, because it was not much, so they wanted to take pictures of the scenery and industries in the village, and help promote the village.

For this, Zhang Laihe readily agreed. In addition to the beautiful scenery that his short film will definitely shoot, he will stay for two more days to shoot some scenery and special products of the village, and shoot a small commercial for Jianjian to help promote the publicity .

The villagers were very happy with this cooperation. The next day, the news of filming came to the village and spread like wildfire. Therefore, during the filming process, the villagers were very enthusiastic.

Even when Zhang Laihe needed some group performances, the villagers immediately signed up enthusiastically when they heard, "Ah, we can actually make movies?" The scene almost got out of control.

Fortunately, the village head followed the whole process and organized the discipline to control the scene.

In the end, Zhang Laihe selected a man, a honest man and a strong woman, and a very kind old woman. Basically, all the main supporting roles were selected.

For some other group performances, the villagers who like to join in the fun and the children in the village participated together.

For the first two days of filming, Zhang Laihe was basically talking to the three supporting villagers. Naturally, they had to pay for filming these two days, after all, they wasted their time.

Lin Zhou almost looked at Zhang Laihe's wallet, which deflated visibly to the naked eye.

After two days of filming, he saw Lin Zhou hesitated and hawed a bit, obviously he didn't know how to talk to Lin Zhou about his salary.

For this, Lin Zhou didn't care about it. It didn't matter whether he was paid or not. He came to act out of curiosity and interest, so he wanted to try it out. So after talking with Zhang Laihe, the other party let go of his worries.

But this thank you is still deeply in my heart.

In order to make this short film, Zhang Laihe borrowed a lot from his friends in addition to the money he had accumulated, as well as funding from his tutor and school.

In the past two days, he spent almost all his money wisely, saving as much as he could.

Seeing him in such a difficult state, Lin Zhou suddenly remembered that he seemed to be able to use the company's money!

Wouldn't it be nice to ask Zhang Laihe to shoot an advertising video for their Guagua Insurance Company?

The village chief even thought of asking Zhang Laihe to make a film to promote it, how could he forget about it!

When he thinks about it, he does it. He directly calls and asks the company to send someone to find Zhang Laihe to shoot a promotional video. Of course, he can't take the initiative to come forward, although his identity is not a secret.

But after all, it is not something that is well known in the world. After all, there are still a few people who know these facts and understand these facts. Most of the Internet is based on speculation.

Therefore, Lin Zhou's current image and name are not deeply related to Chigua Insurance.

Zhang Laihe is an honest director who shoots movies, obviously he doesn't know so much gossip, so Lin Zhou can rest assured that the company will send someone to find him to shoot promotional videos.

Anyway, there are many ways, and Lin Zhou doesn't need to worry about it.

So on the third day they came to the countryside, Zhang Laihe was pleasantly surprised by a phone call from his instructor, and he was going to treat everyone to a big plate of chicken that day.

After eating, Zhang Laihe was obviously more energetic, and his shooting efficiency was extremely high.

After these two days of lecturing, Lin Zhou and the villagers who cooperated with the acting have learned more about the performance. Now that the filming starts, they can all get into the mood quickly.

Today, Lin Zhou is going to act in a scene where he is beaten and scolded at home, and then runs out of the house.

He plays a high school student in this short film, which fits his current image very well. After all, he is only a freshman, so he doesn't need to act as a student.

But the background of this character is very different from his. Lin Zhou was raised by his family, and although he was sometimes rebellious and mischievous, the family would never fight or scold him.

But this character, Yu Cuo, has lost his parents since he was a child, and was fostered in his aunt's house. The aunt's family is good to him, but in this family, the aunt is the one who makes the decisions. The uncle has a more honest and cowardly personality.

This is why Zhang Laihe asked this couple of villagers to act, because their personalities and roles are not much different, and the acting will be smoother.

As for the old woman, she is Lin Zhou's grandmother. She is very kind to him, she protects him and thinks about him in everything, but she is old and can't cover everything. Sometimes when her aunt gets angry and beats him , when she is not working, she can still run out and pull some.

Later, my aunt became smarter, and beat and scolded Lin Zhou to vent her anger when grandma was not at home.

Zhang Laihe's filming of this family relationship was very brief, and he portrayed these characters in just a few shots.

"Ka! Well, everyone is great, this shot is over!"

After Zhang Laihe finished speaking, the woman who played Aunt Lin Zhou hurried over to see if Lin Zhou was hurt, and kept apologizing at the same time.

"Ma'am, I'm fine. I was very clever just now, and I avoided them all, so don't worry!" Lin Zhou persuaded her a few words before finally letting the other party feel relieved to leave.

On the other hand, Shi Shi was at the side, holding the ointment in his hand, his little face tensed up.

"Just be brave!" After Lin Zhou returned to the room, Shi Shi said as soon as he entered the door and fiddled with the ointment.

"It can't be helped. They don't learn to perform. If they don't really start, they can't act at all." Lin Zhou threw himself on the kang, lifted the clothes on his back, revealing the obvious red and swollen stick marks, obviously he didn't hide just now open.

Although Shitou was cursing, he couldn't bear to see him like this. He poured the ointment and came up to wipe it on him.

"Hiss! Take it easy!" Lin Zhou said he was fine, but it still hurt when the fire stick came down.

"You have to go up the mountain later in the evening, why don't you take a rest and shoot tomorrow!" Shitou couldn't help but persuade.

"Hey, this little injury is nothing, and it's not like I can't go. It's just my state, my face is a little pale, and I don't need to put on powder, and I'm closer to the character!" Lin Zhou joked optimistically at this time.

"Forget it, I don't understand you, just rest!" Shitou didn't quite understand Lin Zhou's behavior, so he left directly after applying the ointment.

Lin Zhou smiled helplessly. He knew what Shitou was thinking. After all, he himself was not a professional actor, and this was not a big production.

In fact, Lin Zhou didn't think it through himself.

But when he saw his character on the monitor for the first time, which was completely different from himself, as if he was looking at another person, that feeling was amazing.

It’s like he’s playing and participating in another person’s life. He may pull away after finishing the filming, but when he enters that role, he can’t help himself, always forgets his identity, and feels that he is this role. It's just a mistake.

Lin Zhou didn't understand the reason for this, he only knew that when he didn't understand this character, he couldn't find the feeling, and couldn't feel the sadness and joy of Yu Cuo.

But after he listened to "Fireflies" and felt this emotion that he has never understood, now that he enters the role, he can really feel all the pain, sorrow and joy of this role.

This is actually the empathy ability of actors.

Maybe Zhang Laihe will know the reason and explain it clearly to him, but he is very busy now. After shooting during the day, he would just stay in his room at night to watch the replay, sort out the material, and then edit the film.

When it comes to the energy of going all out, Zhang Laihe is just too much.

But tonight he can't edit the film in the hut, because tonight they all have to go up the mountain to shoot night scenes.
