Chapter 918
"I mean the shooting style behind, the picture..."

Halfway through Zhou Xia's speech, the desire to survive that he had trained for a long time made him realize that there was still ambiguity in his words, so he quickly stopped talking.

Jenferni who was next to her looked at Zhou Xia with a playful expression on her face.

"Director, then you mean that you don't look forward to it. It seems that the scene is really dispensable. It didn't exist in the book. The story is very innocent. Let's cancel that scene."

After Jennifer finished speaking, she looked at Nicole next to her with a serious questioning expression.

"How can this be? The novel is different from the movie. We have added a lot of scenes."

Zhou Xia didn't wait for Nicole to react, and said directly.

Jennifer couldn't help laughing, and Ni who was next to her could see this, shook her head helplessly, and walked towards her assistant.

Zhou Xia glared at the joking eldest cousin, and quickly ordered people from various departments to clean up the scene and prepare for the transition to filming.

Everyone moved immediately, but Jennifer stood aside, smiling and talking to Zhou Xia.

"Director, I still want to talk to you about that scene sometime. I don't think it's necessary to add it."

"What's there to talk about? Well, hurry up and prepare for the next scene. You are not a rookie actor, do you want me to give you psychological training?"

Zhou Xia said angrily.

"Director, that's not the point."

"Then what's the point?" Zhou Xia asked subconsciously.

"In that case, let's forget it." Seeing Zhou Xia's confusion, Jennifer shrugged, shook her head and left.

The point is to talk about it...

Zhou Xia looked at the back of her eldest cousin leaving, and finally understood what she meant, touched her nose, feeling a little regretful.

The eldest cousin who cut her hair and dyed her hair for the role of slimming looks like a different person, more beautiful, and has more temperament that she didn't have before. The two really didn't have a chance to communicate properly.

But there should be a chance in the future.

Zhou Xia stopped thinking about it, and walked to the car, ready to rush to the next set.

Regarding the addition of passionate scenes, there have actually been several discussions before and after.

The two actresses agreed long before signing the contract, but during the preparation of the role, after learning about the original work and after the movie started, they both talked to Zhou Xia, hoping to modify the scale or delete that scene.

In the end, it was Zhou Xia's persistent persuasion that they no longer had any objections.

That's why he was so sensitive to Zhou Xia's words just now.

The original work "The Price of Salt" is called "the first lesbian novel in the history of literature". The whole story is very innocent, without any description of lust.

The author is Patricia Highsmith, a famous American crime novelist. At that time, her new book was unpublished. Frustrated and short of money, she went to work as a salesgirl in a department store in Manhattan.

One morning, she met a beautiful middle-aged blonde woman in furs, and she was inspired to write this novel.

There is no more intersection between the author himself and the prototype of 'Carol'.

The whole story was conceived by the author in less than two hours because the two "looked at each other like love at first sight" at the time, and then spent less than two hours on the train from Manhattan back to their suburban residence that night.

Later, she filled in the specific content through diaries and love letters. Three years later, she completed and published this novel with consciousness greater than plot.

To sum it up in one sentence: an encounter of love at first sight, the beginning of a secret love.

The excellence of this novel is the delicate emotions and the extremely wonderful description of some personal inner feelings.

"I feel like I'm in love with you, and I feel like it should be spring now. I want the sun to shine on my head and beat like music. I feel like Beethoven's sun, like Debussy's wind, like Stella Vinsky's birdsong, but the rhythm of everything is my own."

Descriptions of such personal feelings fill the entire novel.

The beautiful words like a trickle make the whole style like a half-covered fairy tale, a hazy and shy fantasy.

Therefore, it is deeply loved by book fans. Since the novel was published for decades, it has been out of stock several times.

However, in the process of adapting this kind of novel with many words and inner descriptions into a film and television drama, it is inevitable that there will be a lot of loss.

The description of some inner feelings is not very easy to show in the movie.

Only through the language of the lens, the atmosphere of the picture and the scene can be enhanced, and then the micro-expression and emotional performance of the actors can be used to convey it appropriately.

Some important descriptions and expressions that cannot be ignored need to be presented through letters, love letters, and inner monologues.

In case the audience cannot understand the character's behavior and heart.

Therefore, the scenes where the two protagonists meet, talk, and get along with each other will be shot very poetically and beautifully.

In the shopping mall scene just now, the style of the picture is actually not so obvious, and the two people getting along will be shot more beautifully in the future.

This is what Zhou Xia originally meant, but the two of them misunderstood that he was paying attention to the passionate scene.

…………

Another ten days passed in a blink of an eye, and the shooting went even smoother than Zhou Xia expected.

It took 18 days to start the production. Judging from the current shooting progress, the workload of 21 days has been completed.

If things go on like this, the filming can be finished in about 50 days, which is a week shorter than the original plan.

Zhou Xia was very happy about this situation.

He will not simply emphasize slow work and meticulous work. He simply and stupidly believes that the longer a movie takes, the higher the quality of the film will be.

What's more, the movie he shot has the original movie as a reference, which will naturally save some time and save some useless material.

The day's shooting was over, and the day's materials were cut, and it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.

Zhou Xia is hesitant to see Yu Fei.

Yu Fei is going back to China tomorrow, if he doesn't accompany her tonight, it would be unreasonable to see her off.

Filming here basically doesn't work overtime, and Yu Fei also knows that he will basically finish the day's editing before ten o'clock and arrange the next day's work.

But these days, because of Yaya's relationship, he never visited Yufei at all.

Sometimes Yu Fei would come to accompany him when he used the excuse that he was too busy to go back and lived in a hotel near the studio.

It was after the movie started that Yaya didn't keep an eye on Zhou Xia so closely, so he didn't go back at night occasionally, so the two had a chance to meet.

Speaking of this situation, Zhou Xia provoked it.

Yaya is pregnant, and the due date is getting closer, so she often feels very irritable and her temper becomes worse.

Zhou Xia ignored this and told her that Yufei was here.

As a result, this matter irritated Yaya's fragile nerves.

After Yaya hung up the phone at that time, she didn't receive a call from Zhou Xia to explain it all day.

The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and the more she thought about it, the more she thought that Zhou Xia didn't see her and the child in her eyes, she didn't know how to respect others, she got so angry that her stomach hurt, and even alarmed the family doctor.

When Zhou Xia went back, she even had a showdown. She wanted to sever ties with Zhou Xia and return to China to have a child and raise her own.

Zhou Xia was really taken aback.

After receiving a message from the family doctor telling him not to make Yaya angry, after knowing the situation that day, he realized that the matter was a bit serious.

At this time, pregnant women are in a bad mood, angry, and emotionally tense, which can easily lead to premature delivery and endanger the safety of both mother and child.

In addition to continuing to carry forward the tradition, saying good things, and making promises, Zhou Xia also agreed to make three films for Yaya in history.

With Zhou Xia's sincerity, she finally got Yaya's understanding.

"You're finally here, I thought you wouldn't be here tonight."

Seeing that it was almost twelve o'clock in Zhou Xia, Yu Fei couldn't help being a little unhappy.

She is going back to China tomorrow, and Zhou Xia will finish work at six o'clock in the evening, and she will finish the day's affairs before ten o'clock.

What can't wait until tomorrow to be busy? !
