Chapter 5 Elephant Mountain
"Why did you agree so readily? Isn't it only 3 yuan?"

After walking out of the restaurant, Xu Jinglei asked her own question.

Tang An shook his head, feeling helpless, "Li Xiaowan is not stupid. If I have to bargain for 1 yuan, she should be suspicious."

Xu Jinglai understood, and then said, "Then is the budget enough now? Do you need me to participate?"

Tang An shook his head, "That's not necessary, did you notice the makeup that Yang Mi's assistant put on just now?"

"Didn't pay much attention to it, what's the matter?" Xu Jinglei asked puzzled.

"She is wearing a relatively simple and fresh light makeup. The technique is not top-notch, but it suits Yang Mi very well. I plan to stop looking for a makeup artist and let her do Yang Mi's makeup directly!" Tang An said with a smile.

"The faces and temperament of the two of them are relatively similar, and Yang Mi is still very young, a little light makeup is enough, and the other actors are just like that for a 2-minute scene, and I can do it!"

"I can't see that you know how to put on makeup!" Xu Jinglei covered her mouth and smiled.

"Let's understand a little bit, such as an oval face, fair skin, lighter eyebrows, slightly wider eye distance, inner double or single eyelids, and a smaller nose shape are suitable for light makeup. Like a round face, thick eyebrows, thick lips, eye shape Those who are round and have deep double eyelids are more suitable for heavy makeup!"

An obvious example is the queen of the red carpet, Fan Yan. Heavy makeup is the most suitable for her.There was also Wang Manchun, who I often saw in the NC News Department for a while, with light makeup on, she was almost like a passerby.

But this also has something to do with age, after all, there are more lines and wrinkles around the eyes when you are old, and Yang Mi basically wears heavy makeup after the age of 30.

"I'm curious now, what else can you not know!" Xu Jinglai's eyes shone with an inexplicable brilliance, and now she is becoming more and more curious about Tang An.

"Hehe, I belong to the kind of person who knows a little about everything!" Tang An yelled.

"Let's go, I'll go to the crew to pack up the equipment, load the car and set off. You are also preparing for the post-production. Don't you want to go abroad to participate in some film festivals?"

"Are you leaving today?" Xu Jinglai asked in surprise, she didn't expect Tang An to be in such a hurry.

"Time is tight. I am going to release it at the end of September, just in time for the National Day. Besides, I have to go to Xiangshan to find a good venue. This is the first time I am making a movie, and there will be no troubles in the middle!"

It’s the beginning of April now, go to Xiangshan to find a good location, do the preliminary preparations, the shooting will start in early May, and it is estimated that it will be completed in early July at the latest, and then I will do post-production. If I have time, I will see if I can go abroad. Participated in a small film festival here and got a nomination for "Gilding".

The National Day file is still the peak tourist season, and there are not many people watching movies, but the competition pressure is also low, which is much better than November.

As for the Lunar New Year stalls?
No reputation, no lineup, maybe you won’t even be able to drink soup.

In this era, there are only a few competitive movies a year, but there are few movie theaters. Avoiding popular schedules and picking soft persimmons is the best choice.

Xu Jinglei nodded, and said with a smile, "I've greeted Lao Ye, you can go directly to Ban, record it, and just be ready to return it when the time comes!"

"Thank you! Let me know if you need help in the future!" Tang An said solemnly.

Tang An didn't drag his feet. He went back to the hotel and loaded all the equipment he needed into a Changhe van that seemed to be in better condition. He checked the fuel tank to make sure it was full.

As soon as the accelerator was stepped on, the second-hand Po Changhe rushed out very loudly, onto the main road, and drove towards Xiangshan.

Regarding the location of the location, Tang An chose Xiangshan after careful consideration.

In the future, the Xiangshan Film and Television Base, which is also one of the top ten film and television bases in Huaguo, will not open until next year. There should already be a part for making props in the base, and the price will definitely be very cheap.

Xiangshan is composed of more than 600 islands and reefs in the east of the Xiangshan Peninsula and along the coast. The sea area is five times the land area, exceeding 5000 square kilometers, and the coastline is 800 kilometers long, accounting for one-sixth of the coastline in Zhejiang Province.

There are more than a dozen large and small beaches, and there is always a beach that meets your requirements.

After a journey of nearly 300 kilometers, they did not arrive at Xiangshan County until near noon.

Tang An had also been to Xiangshan Film and Television City to film before. Unlike Hengdian, the buildings here are not as easy to mix with other TV dramas. They are fresh and cheap.

The time of 20 years has changed too much, Tang An followed the memory and drove to the gate of Xiangshan Film and Television Base.

The base has not yet opened, and there are only two security guards sitting at the door chatting about family affairs.

There is a beach not far from the base, and because it is so close, many production crews are willing to film there if they have seaside scenes, and it was quite lively afterwards.

Now this beach has not been developed, and it is the off-season of tourism, there is no one around.

This is just right, saving the clearance.

I got out of the car and inspected it, and found that the location is suitable, and the location is set here for the time being.

There are no villages nearby, and there is not even a boat on the sea, so the site fee is definitely not required.

Now that the location is ready, the next step is to find a place to build a small pool, a hundred square meters is enough.

There are also accommodation, meals, and recruiting a few miscellaneous employees.

Tang An got into the car directly and drove along the shore. After 10 minutes, he saw a village.

The car in 04 was still a rare item, and the Changhe van was not much different from the Santana in the eyes of the villagers.

After entering the village, an old man in a tunic suit greeted him surrounded by three or four people.

"You are." The old man looked suspiciously at such a big car.

"Hi, old man. My name is Tang An. I'm a student of the Film Academy. I'm going to come here to shoot a movie."

Tang An got out of the car and explained his purpose.

College students are still very precious these days, not to mention directors from the film academy. The old village head immediately paid attention to it, and he didn't doubt it.

"It's Director Tang. You came to our village to shoot a movie. If you need any help, just tell me. A film and television city was going to be built two years ago. I haven't seen anyone come over for so long."

When the surrounding villagers heard that Tang An turned out to be a great director, they immediately started chattering, and the villagers couldn't hide their loud voices.

"Then thank you, the village chief. I want to rent a few rooms in our village. It would be best if there is an open space nearby, where I can dig a pond of about 100 square meters!"

Tang An didn't expect it to be so smooth. He didn't even look at his student ID card, and all the preparatory remarks he had prepared were in vain.

The folk customs are simple and simple, far from the rural areas where the routine gradually deepened later.

"Just go live at my house. The backyard is big enough. I'll find a few people to help you dig whatever you want to dig!"
"That line, about three rooms, two for people, one for equipment, and if it's convenient for you, can you cook more meals every day, there are three of us, and I will give it to you together with the rent!"

"What money are you talking about, kid! There is nothing else in our village, how many rooms can still charge you money?
There is no problem with eating. The extra two pairs of chopsticks are all rice and vegetables grown by myself! "

"That's not okay. I can't live in your place for nothing. How about it, the three of us will give you 800 yuan a month for board and lodging. What do you think?"

The cost of 3 yuan is [-] yuan after excluding Yang Mi's salary, and I have to go to the scenic spot to rent a hot air balloon, take a pilot with me, and invite two group performers who can surf.

There is also the corpse of the whale, even if it is a simple one, it may cost a lot of money.

800 yuan is not too much for three people's board and lodging for a month, and he doesn't have any extra money if he wants to pay more.

"What money are you talking about, kid? If you talk about money, go to someone else's house!" The old village chief waved his hand, a little unhappy.

Even if you go to the south to work for a month, you can't earn 800 yuan these days.

Since the old village chief insisted on not accepting it, Tang An didn't force it either. He thought about buying some gifts and staying if there was any money left after the shooting.
