Song Tan's Notes

Chapter 1245. Director's Storyboard

  Thanks to the driver's powerful connections and gossip collection, when the car passed the bamboo forest, the director's eyes lit up instantly when he saw a villa with white walls and gray tiles in front of him!

"It must be here!"

Aesthetics can’t be wrong!

That's right... the flower bed at the entrance was not well maintained and looks bare, like a flawed jade.

But when the director got off the car and stood at the gate of the yard, the regret of the flaw in the beautiful jade disappeared instantly.

——It’s nothing else, it’s just that the yard looks like a real farmhouse. There are no landscapes, no carved beams or painted buildings, it’s just a very, very spacious farmyard.

In comparison, the two flower beds at the door are nothing.

Two orange cats were huddled together as they passed by the door. When they saw the stranger, they looked up, meowed twice in a coquettish voice, then turned around and ran away without hesitation.

Inside the house, Uncle Seven heard the noise and came out. He saw three middle-aged men, each dragging a large suitcase, peeking out of the door. He couldn't help but ask:

"You are……"

"Hello!" The director's eyes lit up: "Song Tan lives here, right?"

"Yes," Uncle Seven nodded, "What's the matter?"

This doesn't look like a business negotiation! Who would bring such a big box to discuss business?

The director instantly became happy: "It's like this, we are the crew that signed the contract with him before, and we came here to see if the scenery of the venue is suitable. If it is suitable, we will ask the actors to come over and shoot for a while."

The main purpose is to take into account the flowering period. Otherwise, this kind of thing could be done by asking the scene director to come over and slowly select and look at it. There is no need for him to personally drag some simple framing equipment over.

My seventh cousin has heard of this matter.

but--

"Why did I hear that you signed for the river beach? There is nothing on the river beach now!"

It's not that there is nothing. The green shoots of the reeds have grown very tall, and the grass on the grassland is also growing lush and green.

But the scene of planting lotus roots is not beautiful at all, and it will rain heavily next week, so what scenery can be taken?

He is old and doesn't know much about photography, but you can imagine that he chose this poor mountain village for its natural beauty.

The time is wrong now!

This left the director dumbfounded. Why couldn't this old man adapt?

  This is not a scenic spot. Isn't it normal to take some photos at the river beach and other places in the village?

He wanted to say something else, but his seventh cousin had already taken out his phone:

"Hey, Tantan, someone came to our house and said he was here to take pictures..."

director:……

I don’t know why, it’s just what I usually do, but I suddenly felt guilty.

……

When Song Tan came back, he saw three big men carrying small stools and sitting in the yard, holding a cup of yellowish tea in their hands, and three suitcases standing upright on the side. For some reason, he felt a little restrained.

Song Tan couldn't help but laugh.

Then she was also curious: "Do we have to shoot in advance? I remember the contract I signed said it was from mid-April to the end of May?"

and……

Although she also didn't know much about filming, how could a crew only come with three people? The director quickly said, "Boss Song, it's like this, the reason we came here early is not to take pictures of the river beach, but to see the scenery on your mountain first."

Talking about his profession and seeing the real owner, the director instantly regained his confidence and then talked nonstop:

"It's like this. As you know, our background is a fairyland, so we need a lot of original ecological scenery, and with post-production, it will present a fairyland state."

"When they signed the river beach contract with us, they also saw that the place suited our scenario."

"But I saw your live broadcast online the other day, and the flowers and trees blooming on the mountain were very consistent with our other scenes!"

  He became excited, gesticulating and dancing:

"So I hurried over to take a look. If possible, we can finish filming these during the flowering period so that our crew won't have to find another location."

His attitude was quite sincere, and the two grown men following behind him also looked at Song Tan with eager anticipation, wishing they could rush up the mountain immediately.

But Song Tan frowned: "You guys shoot, do you mean you three go take some pictures of the scenery?"

"No, no, I will never be so perfunctory!"

"Let's first see how the scenery is planned, and if it's suitable, we'll arrange for the crew to come over."

  The director even took out a large storyboard from his bag:

“I haven’t seen the specific scene on the mountain yet, but I saw it in the live broadcast room and made a simple idea——”

"Look, I saw the medicinal papaya flower on your mountain. I know this flower. Its petals will fall off if you touch it. When the second male lead stands under the tree, the blower will blow..."

"You know, infatuated male partner... these falling petals are his desolate heart!"

"This pear blossom is also very beautiful! Our hero is portrayed as a beautiful, strong and miserable person. He is misunderstood, wronged, deserted by his friends and relatives, and the person he likes hurts him ruthlessly... He is dressed in white or black - we have to see the later scenes - but the white clothes must have layers of blood and scars."

"In short, no matter if he was wearing white or black, the snow-white pear petals fell on his body, and he was spitting blood while staggering..."

"And this, this! Peach blossoms! Peach blossom forest! I think the trees aren't too tall, just right for the heroine, hero, and some supporting characters to chase and run in it..."

"Oh, right, there's another fight scene! Lightfooted walking on duckweed to cross the water, but we're crossing peach blossom branches..."

  The director only has art in his mind and is completely immersed in his own fantasy:

"When the close-up shot comes up, the protagonist taps his feet lightly, the peach blossom branches tremble with dew, and the person is already flying into the air..."

The two big men behind him also immersed themselves in it, their expressions full of longing.

"Also, I see there are pomegranates planted there. Although they haven't bloomed yet, don't worry. Wait until they bloom and cover the whole mountain with fire..."

He flipped through the storyboard, his pride evident in his expression: "Look at this! It's a perfect opportunity to film a scene where a lovelorn male supporting character dies under this tree..."

"That sense of destiny! That conflict..."

Song Tan closed the storyboard silently, expressionless.

The director inadvertently caught a glimpse of her face. She was originally dancing and looking excited, but for some reason she gradually restrained herself and finally became reserved again.

While being reserved, he couldn't help but wonder:

  I am the director, am I not a valuable client?

But why do I feel so restrained when looking at this young girl?

The next moment, the storyboard full of his talent was returned to him.

On a sunny day in March, the director heard a very cold and heartless sentence:

"No."
