0024 Chapter Chance

October 10th.

Zhou Jing packed his luggage, accompanied by Hu Li, took a bus to the train station and prepared to set off for Pingyao. He also temporarily left Hengdian where he had lived for half a year.

"When you arrive at the crew, you must tell me. Also, when you take the train on the road, you must also pay attention to your luggage. This is the food I bought for you, so you can keep it for you to eat on the road..."

Hu Li was like a chattering aunt, and said something to Zhou Jing endlessly, such as paying attention to safety.

"I remember everything. You must be fine in Hengdian. Don't happen again last time. Wait for me to come back honestly." Zhou Jing took the good stuff and said with a smile.

"Okay, then I'll watch you go." Hu Li waved at him, "By the way, don't look back."

Zhou Jing, who was facing away from Hu Li, shrugged helplessly, waved at her, and then entered the station with his luggage.

It was not until Zhou Jing's figure completely disappeared from sight that Hu Li rubbed his somewhat wet eyes and left alone.

***

There is no direct train to Pingyao in Hengdian. Zhou Jing needs to transfer to Ninghang and take the whole way to Longcheng. After arriving in Longcheng, he will take two more buses to reach the crew of "Bright Sword".

Although it was a little bit awkward, Zhou Jing still admired the crew like "Bright Sword" that fully respects historical facts and insists on filming on the spot. It is so much more clever than those anti-Japanese dramas filmed directly in Hengdian.

This is not the first time Zhou Jing has gone far away, but like this time, he has been confused by Zhou Jing. After finally arriving in Longcheng, he missed the last bus to Pingyao. He could only stay in Longcheng for one night. The next morning, he took a bus at five o'clock and arrived in Pingyao.

After contacting a staff member of the crew, Zhou Jing soon arrived at the hotel where he stayed, a very ordinary small hotel.

"The crew has limited funds, and I have to go to Hebei to film after a while. I haven't stayed here for a long time and the accommodation conditions are a bit difficult. Please take some care of it." The staff said a little apologetically.

"It's okay, I'm very satisfied with having a place to live." Zhou Jing waved his hand quickly, saying that he had no special requirements for food and accommodation.

"Most of the crew are already preparing for filming outside. The Xie Baoqing you plays probably won't be able to film until the 18th. If you are tired, take a break first. If you want to go to the crew, you can also get familiar with it in advance. However, I don't have time to take you there now, so I can only go there by myself."

After settling down, the staff continued.

Zhou Jing came here to study and film. After asking the crew clearly, Zhou Jing set out on the road with a light load and asked several people along the way. Finally, he found the crew of "Bright Sword" at the south gate of Pingyao Ancient City.

Before coming here, Zhou Jing went online to check the relevant information about the crew, but not many useful ones were useful. He only found information about a few directors and starring actors. The male lead Zhou Jing is very familiar with him and is an old actor. However, this is the first time Zhou Jing heard of the director. However, after reading the introduction online, this director Zhang is quite good at military films.

I thought the drama "Bright Sword" would be a big production, but after the filming scene, Zhou Jing really understood what the staff member meant by "limited funds".

At this time, the crew was about to film the scene where Li Yunlong led his troops to attack Pa County. The props were old and simple, and the two "Italian cannons" looked like old antiques. Zhou Jing could understand these, after all, they were anti-Japanese films, and they were all reasonable.

What surprised Zhou Jing the most was that there were only two cameras in the entire shooting scene!

Generally, in war scenes like this, especially the shots of gunfire, in order to highlight the magnificence of the picture, four cameras are basically standard. With more well-produced crews, there will be more cameras used.

When the United States was filming "Pearl Harbor", in order to show the shock of the air strike, 12 cameras were used to complete the shooting.

But now, the entire crew actually has only two cameras!

Zhou Jing didn't think the photographer's level was so high. The only explanation was that the crew was very poor.

If such crews are placed in Hengdian, they can be said to be a big hit.

However, these are not what Zhou Jing needs to consider. Anyway, his salary has been negotiated. As long as he can learn anything valuable and get the salary on time, the rest will be a headache for the production team.

The entire shooting scene was busy, and no one noticed Zhou Jing's arrival.

"Where is the photographer, please adjust the camera position quickly and the shooting will start soon."

At this time, a sound came out through the speaker.

"Why is no one going yet? That young man, you are from the photography team, hurry up and help, in a hurry... Stop looking, it's you!"

Zhou Jing stood there blankly, but he didn't expect that he would be found like this. And the person who spoke was not someone else, but Director Zhang, the director of "Bright Sword", Zhou Jing had seen his photos.

Thinking about it, Zhou Jing was alone in the whole scene, and the director didn't look for anyone he wanted.

Zhou Jing did not dare to neglect, so he nodded to the director, and then ran to another camera quickly. When he followed the system to learn the camera position some time ago, Zhou Jing also specifically learned about the camera knowledge, and he still has a lot of experience in controlling the camera position in this kind of war scene.

After quickly adjusting the camera position and adjusting the lens and aperture at the same time, Zhou Jing was about to run to another camera to help, but was stopped again.

"Stop me, who made you move the camera?" The voice was very stern.

"It was the director who asked me to help." Looking at the middle-aged man in front of him, Zhou Jing felt unreasonable for a moment. It seemed that the other party should be the main cameraman.

"You are not a photography team, how could the director ask you to come? Who are you?" The other party refused to give in.

"What's going on, Old Wu?" Just when Zhou Jing didn't know how to answer, Director Zhang happened to come over.

"Director Zhang is here. This person just now dared to play with the camera. I caught him. He even said that you asked him to come." Old Wu replied angrily.

In the entire crew, except for the director and the camera position he has the right to choose, Lao Wu felt that no one else was qualified to point fingers at the camera.

"Why, isn't he from your photography team?" This time it was Director Zhang's turn to be surprised.

"Where is this person in the photography team?... It's really Director Zhang who asked him to come here."

Old Wu walked to the front of the camera curiously and looked carefully. The camera position selection, lens and aperture adjustment were all very good.

Not like a mess.

"Have you learned photography?" Old Wu looked up and down at Zhou Jing and asked curiously.

"Sorry, I'm with the actors in the group. I don't know if I'm here on the first day..." Zhou Jing quickly apologized, but he couldn't do bad things well, and left a bad impression on the director on the first day.

"With the actor in the group? Which role is it?" Director Zhang asked.

"Xie Baoqing."

"Xie Baoqing... You are the one who came from Hengdian." Director Zhang finally had a little impression, "Why, do you still know photography?"

"I have taught myself a little bit, but I can't get on the table."

"Xie Baoqing's scene will take some time to shoot. Since you are here, just do chores with the crew. At present, there is not enough staff on the camera team. Just stay with Lao Wu and help Lao Wu to dispatch the camera. Is there no problem?"

"No problem, of course no problem." Zhou Jing shook his head quickly.

This is a fucking opportunity for the director to remember himself!
