Chapter 47: The Farewell Train

Chapter 47: The Farewell Train

As the shooting progressed, the location also needed to be changed.

The film covers a wide range of scenes, so unlike Chen Kaige, Chen An did not shoot sequentially, but concentrated on shooting for a certain period of time.

After the filming, we changed locations to shoot another scene.

How should I put it, Brother Chen Kai’s shooting style is more friendly to the actors, but it makes the investors want to curse.

If the actors follow suit, the emotions can be substituted more smoothly, but as Chen An is the saint who teaches to save money, he naturally won't play it that way.

Filming in the subway requires a permit, which doesn’t account for a large but significant portion of the plot.

国内的第一条地铁就在京城,始建于1965年7月1日,第一条线路于1971年1月15日正式开通运营。

But the official opening was on September 1981, 9.

There are still many places without subways nowadays, so this shoot can be seen as a form of publicity, and approval was quickly obtained.

It's rare to find a director willing to shoot something modern, so I'm willing to promote it.

This time, we will shoot all the shots from the first meeting to the last missed shot as quickly as possible.

The two leading actors are under a lot of pressure.

"Get ready early. Time is short and we need to finish shooting as soon as possible." Chen An said to the two of them while standing behind the camera.

Zeng Li straightened her mind, ruffled her hair a little, stood in front and nodded, "No problem, Director, I'm ready."

After saying that, he clenched his fist to cheer himself up.

Chen Kun on the side also began to adjust his state: "I am also ready for the director."

"Okay, let's get started." Seeing that both of them were ready, Chen An also officially prepared to start filming.

The subway tunnel was crowded with people and there were gusts of wind and waves coming from the tunnel.

Zeng Li, who was a little drunk, stood aside and was almost hit by a speeding subway. She was pulled back by Chen Kun.

The wind and waves caused by the subway blew Zeng Li's hair, revealing her face. This was also the first time they met.

The two looked at each other. This was the first time they met and they formed an indissoluble bond.

Thanks to the fact that Chen An often invited Zeng Li out for dinner, her performance in this scene was quite good. Her eyes were drunken and her body was staggering.

But why did Chen An feel so familiar with it? What he didn’t know was.

Zeng Li was imitating the way the others behaved after drinking, so Chen An felt that she was somewhat familiar.

Chen An didn’t say much about this scene. He thought it was okay, so he passed it directly.

The next step was to shoot a few scenes inside the subway, which had to be completed in one go.

From vomiting, hitting games, and missing each other, to shouting names on the platform.

We changed clothes quickly after each performance, and it took three days to shoot all the clips.

After all, the emotions involved are quite dramatic and both of them are still students, so it's impossible for them to switch as freely as veteran actors.

It still takes some time, but it was completed within Chen An's expectations. After it was finished, he even had a meal with the staff.

The autographs were given to the staff members, and some of them asked the two leading actors for their autographs, saying that they would definitely go to watch the movie when the time comes.

Chen An also expressed his gratitude repeatedly.

During the preparation stage, the shooting location had already been scouted and photographed, and now the crew was heading out to the field.

We filmed the scenes on the mountain and also used the local train station for filming.

This time it’s a bit far away, and the scenery in the suburbs doesn’t meet the requirements. Now the wind and sand control has not been completely completed, so it’s not very suitable to shoot in the suburbs of Beijing.

The crew drove for a whole day to reach their destination, a small town.

There were many people in the crew, so Chen An directly booked a small hotel for everyone to stay in.

Chen An helped Zeng Li carry her luggage and reminded her as they went upstairs: "Your room is next to mine, so be careful at night. This place is not like Beijing, and the conditions are not as good. If you have any questions, tell me."

"Okay, thank you, Brother An." Zeng Li, who only had a bag, followed Chen An upstairs.

The hotel was not big, with only two floors, and was a bit old. After turning the corner, Chen An placed Zeng Li's room at the very back.

It was one of the better rooms, with a separate toilet. Chen An put the luggage beside the bed and handed her the key: "I'm next door, and the others are not far away. If you have any questions, you can come to me. Just knock on the door."

"And don't wander around alone at night. I'm afraid I won't be able to find you if you look like this."

I was also specifically reminded not to go out alone at night, as it is dangerous for anyone of average appearance, let alone someone like Zeng Li.

There is a high probability that it is dangerous. This era is not like the future. Even Chen An does not dare to do roadshows to increase box office.

All men are in danger, let alone a beauty like Zeng Li, who walks on the street like shining gold and attracts everyone's attention.

"I know, I don't dare to go around alone." Zeng Li also understood. After all, there are a lot of news these days, and she is also afraid.

"When the time comes, I'll ask you to accompany me, An Ge, and you can be my companion."

"Wow, you trust me so much, then I'll fight a few more. You better run fast, otherwise your long legs will be wasted."

"Pooh, pooh. It's not for nothing."

Zeng Li, who was already quite familiar with Chen An, heard him joking again, and made a disgusted look and hit Chen An with her hand.

Chen An grabbed her fair little hand and held it in his: "Don't do this to the bad guys, he will be more excited." He said teasingly.

Zeng Liya was so angry that she stamped her feet and said, "Go to hell!"

"Hahaha. Anyway, you better be careful. We'll finish the shooting as soon as possible and go back." Looking at Zeng Li's cute appearance, Chen An couldn't help laughing. Without saying much, he reminded her again and left the room.

After watching Chen An leave, the sound of a door opening was heard from the next room, and Zeng Li also closed the door.

Start packing up, take out the things you will use and put them away, and prepare them in advance.

Get everything ready first, and let the two leading actors adjust their emotions.

The outdoor shooting officially began. The two chatted on a hill, and then they separated and stood on different hills.

They were separated from each other and told each other words that the other party could not hear, and this time the heroine finally spoke out her true feelings.

While she was crying and expressing her inner feelings, the male protagonist on the opposite hill was still greeting her.

Chen An chose a crooked tree, which was unique and eye-catching, and decided to take the photo there.

The hero and heroine made an agreement, buried the time ball, and agreed on a time to spend together to read each other's letters.

Only after finishing shooting all the on-site shots did Chen An change the shooting location to the train station.

I also specially contacted the platform leader for approval. After all, the speed of the train needs to be controlled when shooting, and it cannot be too dangerous.

Thanks to the fact that Chen An had won major awards abroad and had some fame, the approval came within a few days.

Chen An did not follow the original work, but set the shooting time in the early morning. Taking advantage of the night, the crew rushed to the shooting location.

It was not yet five o'clock when we arrived, and everyone in the crew was gasping for breath, not quite sober yet.

However, Chen An has already arranged to lay the shooting path, place the camera, and adjust the shooting position.

"Wake up, you still have to jump off the train later." Chen An reminded Zeng Li, who was still a little confused and not awake yet.

Zeng Li rubbed her eyes to wake herself up: "I'll be the director soon."

Although he said that, Chen An wanted to pinch her face when he saw her dazed look, but he didn't feel comfortable doing it in public.

There is still some time left, and I can only let her wake up slowly.

But fortunately, by the time the night had brightened and a hint of morning light appeared, everyone had recovered.

The shooting began. In the hazy morning, Chen An put on cool lights.

The hero and heroine separated before dawn, but the train arrived before the sun rose, even though their destination was clearly the same.

But they agreed to leave separately by two trains.

After watching the male protagonist get into the car, the two suddenly felt reluctant to leave, but by accident they missed each other.

In the slightly cool morning, the heroine stood at the train door and looked at the hero lying on the ground. The heroine looked at him and the train began to speed up.

The dawn is rising, and the two are parting ways. The heroine on the train leaves with the train, her black hair flying in the wind!

 Still asking for everything
