After confirming the filming process and the time required for the entire filming to be completed, Su Ge left the hotel where they were staying with the help of everyone.

"Ms. Su, I'll come to the Imperial City to find you after our follow-up filming of Pingzhou Gongpan is over." Gan Qian's expression softened a lot at this time, and a smile appeared on his straight face. Everyone in the filming team behind him was amazed.

Su Ge said yes. After telling them the address, he turned around and was about to leave. Unexpectedly, he bumped into a man whom he had met several times.

It was Du Feng, the student who followed Ruan Xuelin.He was wearing a neatly pressed suit and was carrying two delicate wooden boxes in his hands.

Du Feng was also stunned when he saw Su Ge, his eyes moved to the back, and he thought of something when he saw Gan Qian walking, but he couldn't believe it, and asked tentatively: "Director Gan, this is..."

Ruan Xuelin originally wanted to use some means to ruin Jiang Jianben's chance, but he didn't expect that there would be news later that Jiang Jianben gave up the opportunity to shoot a documentary because of his health.

Ruan Xuelin thought, since Jiang Jianben didn't participate, isn't he the one who is qualified in Pingzhou?

Thinking that Gan Qian and the others would definitely come to invite him, Ruan Xuelin put on airs and waited in the Jade Association for a few days, but he didn't wait for Gan Qian to send someone over to invite him. .

Du Feng complained in his heart, looking at the situation in front of him, he guessed that Gan Qian might already have another candidate.

Gan Qian glanced at him, did not ignore the box he was carrying, and frowned slightly: "What are you doing here?"

Du Feng knew something was wrong when he heard Gan Qian's tone was a little bit colder than before, and thinking that Ruan Xuelin's side was not easy to deal with, he stepped forward with a smile and said, "Here, Director Gan, how about we talk in the room? Our president Ruan heard that you like jadeite very much, so we prepared a small gift, look..."

The hint in the words made the expressions of Su Ge and the pedestrians behind Gan Qian a little strange. Looking at Gan Qian's face next to him, his face was so dark that water was about to drip, and everyone had the same thought in their hearts: This Du Feng is just like his teacher. It's like they're all out of their minds.

No one would give a gift in front of others, not to mention that Gan Qian would not have accepted it, if he really wanted to accept it, he would not have accepted it in front of his subordinates. Isn't it clear that he has accepted the benefits.

Gan Qian frowned so much that he could kill a fly. He said coldly, "Go back and tell President Ruan that I don't want to do this. Don't come here again thinking about giving things away. It just makes my reputation bad."

The displeasure in his words was too obvious, and Du Feng knew that Director Gan was really angry, and he was still a little puzzled and muttered in his heart: Is it because Director Gan is not pretending to be lofty, he really doesn't like to accept gifts?

"Director Gan..." Du Feng put the wooden box behind his back slightly, and said with a smile, "Our president is also kind."

He glanced at Su Ge, and then asked, "I don't know Director Gan, this documentary..."

Before he finished speaking, Gan Qian said impatiently: "Someone has chosen, go back and tell Ruan Xuelin, don't worry about it anymore."

Hearing that he is now politely saying that Chairman Ruan is not calling him, but calling him by his name, Du Feng knows that it will be useless to say more.

Glancing at Su Ge next to him, he gritted his teeth and left.

Not two days after returning to the imperial capital, the rough stone that was auctioned on the Pingzhou public market was consigned to Cuiyiju by the organizer.

Su Ge left the largest piece in the yard, picked out a smaller one, and moved the rest to the basement for storage.

The small piece of rough stone was unraveled to carve some small things like jade plaques.The big one is the highlight of this shooting. Su Ge will spend at least a month carving this rough stone, which is as tall as an adult, into a portrait of a lady.

The filming crew of "Emerald" also communicated with Su Ge for a good time, and moved all the filming equipment here.

Now that the weather has not turned warm, the outdoor temperature is very low. Pedestrians wearing thick down jackets drove over in trucks according to the address given by Su Ge, and then unloaded pieces of shooting equipment from the cars.

The surrounding vegetation is withered, and it rained the night before, and there are still icicles hanging on the branches, refracting crystal light in the harsh and not warm sunlight.

Su Ge called the clerk to come forward to help, and finally moved all the equipment in. Gan Qian wiped the sweat from his forehead, and now he had the time to look at the scenery of Cuiyiju.

Although it is still winter, the courtyard in front of us is quiet and elegant, and the small building of Cuiyiju is very majestic in appearance, and the decoration looks very harmonious with the surrounding scenery.

He couldn't help sighing: "Hey, the environment here, Mr. Su, is really good."

The clerks and girls in the store heard Su Ge say that the filming crew of "Emerald" will come over today, and they prepared hot tea and snacks early, which will be delivered to everyone.

"Everyone rest first." Su Ge helped pass the tea to Gan Qian. Gan Qian thanked him and took it. on the rough stone.

"Teacher Su, is this the rough stone you mentioned?" Gan Qian walked around the big stone twice, with curious eyes.

Others couldn't help but come to look at it, reaching out their hands to touch the emerald meat exposed by the windows from time to time.

Even on the Pingzhou public market, such a large material is not uncommon.

"Directors, you said that you want to ensure a certain visual effect. I think it is very suitable." Su Ge walked over and touched the material. Except for some rough sand sticking to the tentacles, the leather shell can be called delicate.

Chen Yi, the director's assistant, thought that for the next shooting plan, the premise was that there was jade in Su Ge's rough stone, but, didn't it mean that if you bet ten times on the stone and lost nine times, it is very likely that there is nothing in it?Thinking of this, Chen Yi couldn't help but said: "Mr. Su, are you sure there must be jade in this stone?"

The others didn't wait for Su Ge to answer, they made fun of Chen Yi and said, "Look at the emeralds exposed through so many windows, there must be emeralds inside."

Chen Yi muttered: "But the bottom few windows don't have jadeite."

He wanted to produce a work that was shocking enough during the filming of the documentary. If the jadeite produced from the material in front of him was not that big or the quality was not that good, the effect would be compromised.

Su Ge knew what he was worried about. His fingers slid across the surface of the rough stone, with a confident expression on his face: "You will know when the filming starts and you untie this stone."

The location of Cuiyiju is quite big enough, considering that the shooting time density is quite high, and it is a little far away from the urban area, and the pedestrians are too tired to go back and forth, so Su Ge simply asked someone to clean up a few rooms for the filming crew to live in. .

The next day, the documentary officially started shooting.

A total of six episodes of the documentary, the first episode is to go deep into the mining area of ​​Myanmar, explore the secrets of emerald formation, and introduce the history and current situation of each site.The second episode takes a few pieces of jadeite as the main characters, explaining that they were mined from the Burmese jade field to being bought by jade merchants, and shipped to several countries including China. Such a journey involved many local miners and The Jade Merchant's Story.

The third episode is about the rough stone trading process. The main highlight is the thrilling stone gambling transaction. The camera will show the stone gambling trading scenes in places such as Jadeite and Ruili.From this episode on, Suge's footage begins.

The fourth and fifth episodes tell about the birth process of jadeite products and introduce various types of jadeite products.

The last episode is the story of finished jadeite products being sent to the market and brought to consumers, including their performance at auctions, popularity in shopping malls, etc. The main purpose is to inform the audience about the status and influence of jadeite today, and the recent year's development trend.

Each episode will be interspersed with many allusions about jade.

According to Gan Qian's filming plan, starting from the third episode, there will be shots of Su Ge in each subsequent episode, which can be called the end of the chain.

Pedestrians sat around the stone table in the yard, on which were various hot drinks, snacks, and fruits.Looking at the beautiful scenery nearby, a dozen young people couldn't help taking out their equipment to take pictures.

"Yes, take a long shot and use it later."

"Look at the script, first take pictures of what you can shoot, and then when Teacher Su is ready, a few cameras surround Teacher Su to prepare for the stone interpretation."

Gan Qian saw that everyone was busy in an orderly manner, walked up to Su Ge, and patted his arm: "Let's check the content of the next filming."

It was the first time for Su Ge to shoot this kind of thing, and he followed behind Gan Qian and listened to him.

Gan Qian led Su Ge to the shooting equipment, roughly introduced Su Ge, and said while debugging: "As a documentary director, you must have sufficient understanding and preparation for the subject matter you are shooting. To be honest , Maybe I’m getting older, and I don’t consciously like things like jade and jade, the more they look at them, the more charming they are.”

"When we make a documentary, we must grasp the soul of the film at the beginning, and there must be a story line." Gan Qian took out a notebook and placed it in front of Su Ge, with four large characters of the shooting script written on it. The corners of the pages of this book are a little fuzzy because they have been read many times.

"What is something powerful and weighty enough to be the soul of the film?" Gan Qian smiled and patted the thick book in front of him, "Actually, I'm new to this subject, and there are many, many things I want to shoot, but I can shoot everything. If you don’t know the trade-offs, it will become a running account. Therefore, to make the audience willing to follow your film to the end, you must sort out the interesting points and create a story line.”

Su Ge took it and opened the book, only to see that there were a lot of words written in audio-visual language. In many places, Gan Qian personally drew storyboards.

"Do documentaries have to be scripted? I thought it would be fine as long as they were actually recorded." Su Ge was a little puzzled.

Gan Qian said with a dumb smile: "There is no essential difference between this thing and the process of making a feature film. A good script is the basis of an excellent documentary. It's just that we can't turn the subject into an actor, otherwise the meaning of the record will be lost. .On the basis of respecting the facts, make the audience feel good-looking and interesting.”

I saw the script read: The background of the quiet suburban city, the young man walked slowly to a stone in the yard and stopped.He raised his hand to caress the window part of the stone, leaving a silhouette with his back to the camera.

Narrator: This is Su Ge. Not long ago, he just participated in the Pingzhou fair and brought back a few rough emerald stones...

"When you are ready, let's start shooting this part of Jieshi."
