Chapter 5 Finishing

Due to the crew's funding, Yan Ni and several other out-of-town actors rented a cheap hotel nearby as a temporary residence.

A famous actor like Xu Zheng paid for his own stay in a better hotel.

This made Tian Xiaole feel a little embarrassed, but Xu Zheng was very open-minded. A junior student was able to get investment from China Film Group and showed professionalism in the crew.

As an actor who has filmed many movies and collaborated with many directors, he feels that the professionalism of those people is not as high as that of Tian Xiaole, a junior student.

A rented seven-seater van drove over, and China Film Group also thoughtfully provided a special driver to take the Beijing Film Academy students back to school.

"The car is here, let's go."

Huang Bo was very considerate. He trotted over to open the car door and let Tian Xiaole go in first.

He is a transparent character in the main creative team, but because of his age, he has a good grasp of various details.

Park Jong-hwa came in and sat next to Tian Xiaole in the last row. Then a few senior students from the directing department came in and sat in the front row.

Luo Jin stuffed the last bun into his mouth before getting into the car and sitting near the door.

Huang Shengyi wiped his mouth slowly and finally got on the car. Looking at the full carriage, he really wanted to take the bus, but it was too early at this time.

She bent over and walked to the last row of the carriage, looking at Park Jong-hwa beside her:
"Brother, can you please move aside? I want to sit with Brother Xiaole!"

"Why do you…"

Before Park Jong-hwa could finish his words, Tian Xiaole pushed him into a corner, patted the seat next to him, and said softly:
"Junior Sister Huang, come and sit over here."

Huang Shengyi had no choice but to squeeze in and put one leg on Tian Xiaole's leg so that he could sit more comfortably.

The seven-seater car was packed, and after shooting a night scene all night, everyone was exhausted.

As the vehicle started moving, everyone leaned back in their seats and squinted their eyes.

Huang Shengyi was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes. He leaned on Tian Xiaole's shoulder and fell asleep quickly.

The slight sniff made his neck itchy.

He had been busy all night and was very sleepy. He adjusted his posture, leaned on Huang Shengyi's head, and fell asleep.

Soon, the car stopped.

The driver sent by China Film knocked on the car seat, waking up everyone who was dozing off.

"Everyone, please watch your step when you get off the bus," Huang Bo reminded.

Tian Xiaole looked at Huang Shengyi who was still sleeping soundly and gently nudged her head:

"Wake up, it's time to go to school!"

"Where are you?"

Huang Shengyi mumbled in his sleep, his eyes still too sleepy to open.

After several people got out of the car one after another, Tian Xiaole, who was standing up, found a circle of water stains on the shoulder of his clothes.

"Junior Sister Huang, why did you leave a gift for me?"

Tian Xiaole pulled her clothes and let her see the masterpiece left behind.

"Ah~

Brother, excuse me, please take off your clothes and I will wash them for you."

Huang Shengyi blushed and said somewhat embarrassedly that he didn't expect to leave a bad impression in front of his senior brother.

The people waiting outside the car looked at each other.

What are these two people doing in the car? That's called making a noise.

"Then it's hard work for you."

Seeing that she was so tactful, Tian Xiaole took off his coat and threw it to her.

Huang Shengyi hugged the clothes in his arms, got out of the car in a hurry, and ran into the school without even saying goodbye.

Seeing this embarrassing look, Tian Xiaole smiled and shook his head.

I got off the bus yawning and saw everyone's look of "I know what I mean". I said unhappily:

"What are you doing here? Go back and rest early."

After saying that, he walked towards the dormitory first. Park Jong-hwa, who was jogging behind him, asked curiously:

"What were you two doing in there?"

"What did you do?"

Tian Xiaole was confused by the question, and looking at his roommate's smug expression, he knew that he had misunderstood.

"Pretending? You didn't do anything? The little girl ran away with a red face!"

Park Jong-hwa had a look of contempt and a sad expression as if to say, "You don't treat me as a good brother."

"No...it's her...never mind, I can't tell you."

Tian Xiaole wanted to explain, but there was no need to. Girls are shy and it is not nice to say that someone is drooling.

Seeing that Tian Xiaole didn't refute, Park Jong-hwa's face became even more obscene.

He kept muttering: No wonder he wanted to transfer to the directing department, photography is really not something that even a dog would do.

···
After a few days of working together, the crew became more proficient and the filming progressed very quickly.

We have reached the final stage.

"Don't come over here. If anyone comes over here, I'll beat her to death."

Chen Minghao held Huang Shengyi hostage, holding the gun to her head, shouting loudly, his voice hoarse. Fan Ming's voice could be heard outside the supermarket:
"Listen up, everyone inside. Put down your weapons and stop resisting. You are surrounded."

"If you dare to come in, I will beat her to death, one life for another."

Chen Minghao shouted excitedly, not caring whether people outside could hear him or not, while retreating to the back of the supermarket, he was on the verge of collapse.

Looking at the filmed footage, Tian Xiaole nodded in approval. No wonder he will make a living by his acting skills in the future, his emotional outbursts and facial expressions are well controlled.

"This scene is over, change the scene!"

The students from the Beijing Film Academy who were in charge of the set design were busy and quickly set up the scenes needed for the next scene.

Soon, take the next set of shots.

Xu Zheng and others hid behind the shelves and saw Chen Minghao holding Huang Shengyi hostage, with anxious expressions on their faces.

Tian Xiaole, who was hiding aside, saw the opportunity, picked up a wooden stick, jumped up and smashed it down at the right moment.

"Ah...ah!"

"Pfft~"

Tian Xiaole jumped too low and didn't follow the planned plot, so he bumped into the beam of the supermarket.

"Here we go again."

This scene requires crashing into the beam and then helping Huang Shengyi block the bullet.

It's a very clichéd classic ending, where the relationship between the two people is sublimated through the crisis.

"action!"

"Dang~"

Tian Xiaole jumped with all his might and finally hit the beam, making a noise.

"It's over, it's over!"

"Brother Xiaole, is your head okay?"

Huang Shengyi trotted over and asked with concern, reaching out to touch Tian Xiaole's forehead.

"It's okay, it's just foam decoration."

Tian Xiaole explained with a smile, walking in front of the monitor and watching the scene that had just been filmed.

Xu Zheng, Yan Ni, Huang Bo and others all came over, and the crew was able to wrap up filming after the shoot was completed. It only took about twenty days in total.

"I declare that the filming of [Crazy Supermarket] has concluded!"

Tian Xiaole was the first to applaud and spoke to the crew members who gathered around him.

"Yeah~"

"I wish you a big box office success..."

Everyone in the crew started cheering. After more than 20 days of staying up late, although they were physically and mentally exhausted, everyone felt a sense of accomplishment.

Yan Ni looked at Tian Xiaole, who was shining in the crowd. He was a little dazed when acting, but outside the camera, he firmly controlled all the arrangements of the crew.

Sure enough, a man who is serious is the most handsome!

"Director Tian, ​​if the film needs promotion, I'm always here to help."

Xu Zheng walked over and hugged Tian Xiaole.

To be able to independently direct a film at such a young age, his background must be unfathomable.

"Director Xiaole, I have plenty of time to cooperate with you."

Yan Ni took the initiative to hug him and hugged him tighter. Was she planning to hurt him?
"We'll let you know when it's released."

Tian Xiaole looked at everyone in the crew and said, but Huang Shengyi next to him looked at Yan Ni with a victorious look, tilting his little head back.

I was thinking: He’s finally gone, my senior brother is still mine!
Due to limited funds, the crew did not have a wrap-up party and disbanded on the spot.

Tian Xiaole took the filming materials back to school for post-production.

The school was very supportive. After all, it was a film shot by students, and they even arranged for a senior from the editing department to be in charge of it.

The advantage of the movie is that the setting and plot are simple, so post-production does not take much time.

Unlike those big-budget commercial films, the post-production alone takes years to complete. However, the only domestic directors who can be called a "big-budget" are Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige.

Tian Xiaole found Lao Tian and talked about the film review and release permit.

"I'll just take the film over after it's edited."

Tian Zhuangzhuang said calmly that these were all trivial matters to him and he could just arrange someone to do it.

After all, the movie was shot by Tian Xiaole, so he cares about it more than anyone else.

During the filming, he asked to visit the set several times, but was rejected by Tian Xiaole.

The reason is very simple. If reporters take photos of him appearing on the set, and the film is released and it is said that it was directed by Tian Zhuangzhuang, then Tian Xiaole will be in real trouble.

"Looking for a Gun" was released in May. Although the director was Lu Tailang, the film was completely in the style of Jiang Wen.

I heard that during the filming, Lu Tailang cried and made a fuss several times, and went to his parents and investors several times to accuse Jiang Wen of undermining his directorial rights.

When the investors heard that Jiang Wen would be directing the show himself, they actually tried to comfort Lu Tailang, who had lost his power.

What he said was: Just bear with it, and when the movie comes out, all the success will be his!
