Chapter 160 Characters

() Found the way home!

"Love right is love, love wrong is youth. I heard the breathing of the waves. In the middle of the city, the wind whistled by, carrying dust and catkins and all overwhelmed past events, all of which were overwhelmed, and they were gone forever."

"The lines in Sister Xue's script are very well written."

On a summer morning, the sea breeze on Dongshan Island has a little salty smell, blowing through the gauze curtains and blowing into the room, bringing a hint of coolness to this hot summer.

"The computer will be turned on the day after tomorrow. Ma Shichun and the others are coming here today, right?" Qin Mohan, who was sitting on the balcony of the hotel, closed the script and asked at Chen Fang who had just returned from swimming.

"They came from Zhangzhou at noon today and will arrive at around 2 p.m.."

"I have been walking around this island a few days ago. The scenery is particularly beautiful and the sea is blue. They will definitely be very satisfied with this place."

Chen Fang changed his clothes off. He had been practicing morning exercises for a long time, and his muscle lines were very tough. Although the two had been together for a long time, Qin Mohan still turned around with a little embarrassed look at his naked upper body and looked at the scenery outside the window.

"It's going to be filmed the day after tomorrow. How are you watching the script?" Chen Fang asked.

"Ah, what did you say?" Qin Mohan heard the voice, turned to look at Chen Fang and asked.

"Oh, I forgot, your left ear is blocked." Chen Fang repeated again.

"The script is already very familiar, and the characters are almost fully understood. The rest is to see the adjustments during the shooting." Qin Mohan took off the earplugs that he had carried with his left ear for more than half a month.

After "Tiny Times" was released at the end of June, Qin Mohan did not receive any notices, and all his thoughts were focused on the script of the play "Left Ear". She repeatedly studied the script and the original work, discussed the character's personality with director Xue Xiaolu and screenwriter Rao Xue, and wrote the biography of the character based on her understanding. The role of Li Er was the first character to take on a play independently, and she felt very stressed. She couldn't help with acting and could only work hard to help her in life.

Qin Mohan couldn't find out what it felt like to be deaf with his left ear, so she couldn't get into the heart of the character Li Er. In the first few days, she used the method she learned in school to simulate deafness, and Chen Fang said she didn't look like it. She asked someone to take her to the hospital to ask the doctor about the deaf and mute behavior. When she went to a special school to observe the performance of deaf and mute people in class, Qin Mohan always couldn't do it.

Looking at Qin Mohan who was a little anxious, Chen Fang gave her an idea. He took out the noise-reducing earplugs from the company's recording studio to block her left ear, and lived a life of deafness in the left ear, thus forming muscle memory, and then experiencing this process with great care, it should be a good simulation.

The day I just brought my headphones, Qin Mohan was extremely uncomfortable. When the professional noise-cancelling headphones were silent, they would block all external sounds. The whole person felt like he had lost his left side, his hands, feet, and body were clearly present, and the touch was all there, but he felt empty. He always subconsciously stretched out his left hand to his side, pulled it behind him, and his eyes unconsciously glanced at the left. It took her for half a month before she could completely adapt.

The heroine of the story, Li Er, has been deaf for more than ten years, and her appearance should be the same as that of ordinary people. Her performance in the details of the movements allows the audience to know that her left ear is deaf. After communicating with the doctor and several deaf patients, Qin Mohan designed many small movements for her, such as when she walks, she always walks on the left side of others; when someone on the left talks, she smiles and looks very polite, but in fact she feels very uncomfortable; when she talks to others, she always looks towards others, her right half tilts forward, etc.

"Let's go out for a walk. They arrived at noon, and we welcome them tonight." The "Xiaomi" I ate in the hotel for breakfast with shrimp ball soup. Xiaomi is actually the northern roasted wheat. When it was passed on to Chaoshan area, it was pronounced as "Xiaomi". Many snack shops also wrote these two words. When Chen Fang and Qin Mohan first saw it, they thought the owner's name was Xiaomi.

I met Rao Xue and Xue Xiaolu in the hotel lobby. They were waiting for Chen Fang here specifically in the hotel lobby. Some things need to be discussed with Chen Fang.

"What are you two going to do again in the morning?" Xue Xiaolu couldn't help asking as they looked at the cool dress of the two. Chen Fang was wearing a pair of beach pants, a floral shirt on her upper body, a wide-edged sun hat on her head, and a pair of sunglasses on her face. Qin Mohan was wearing a pair of denim hot pants, a pair of imaginative white long legs, and a wide white T-shirt on her upper body. There was a knot on the hem of the T-shirt, revealing her slim waist that made the two women jealous.

Qin Mohan smiled embarrassedly, but Chen Fang replied indifferently: "It's so sorry for me not to go shopping in such a beautiful scenery."

"Boss Shen, you are the producer of the film. Are you ready for the pre-shooting work?" Xue Xiaolu couldn't help but complain as Chen Fang, who was about to go out for a walk.

It was the first time he was a film producer, Chen Fang was still studying. Huo Mingda found two experienced executive producers for him in the company, but he still needed some specific matters to arrange. Seeing the dense shooting plans given by the crew, Chen Fang still felt that he was asking for trouble. He complained to Qin Mohan several times, but Qin Mohan deliberately pretended to be deaf in his left ear and couldn't hear it.

"Mo Mo, it seems that I can't play today." Chen Fang looked at the postures of the two of them and knew that there was something to talk about: "Why don't you let Zhou Qi go with you to go shopping? I'll talk to Director Xue."

"I won't go anymore. It's so hot outside now. I'll go with you. I'll learn from you too. Maybe I'll change jobs as producer like Sister Zhixi in the future."

Seeing that Qin Mohan had no objection, Chen Fang, Xue Xiaolu and Rao Xue returned to the room and sat down in the living room of the suite. Qin Mohan brought drinks to the two of them, and then sat obediently next to Shen Fang to watch them discuss the shooting.

"Okay, let's start talking." Chen Fang took out the notebook for recording the matter and checked it one by one: "Several residences have signed contracts, the rent has been paid in advance, and the room layout of several characters has been adjusted according to the opinions given by Screenwriter Rao, and you can enter and shoot at any time. The bar is relatively troublesome. I have switched around several relatively good bars on the island, which did not fit the style of that era. Finally, producer Chen found that a disco hall transformed from an old warehouse in the port has been idle for several years. We rented it down and changed it according to the style of that era. The props are already preparing props, which should be completed within four or five days."

"The school has also contacted me, and I didn't ask for money. Our crew supports them in a multimedia classroom. I have arranged for Shanghai to purchase equipment for them. In addition, the school has officially been on holiday. In late August, the school will be organized to prepare for school starts. The one we can rent is at the end of July and early August. The shooting plan needs to be adjusted. We have to take pictures of the school first, and the student extras have also been contacted. Many children and teachers are quite interested in participating in such shooting activities during the summer, but the time cannot be too long. It is best to concentrate on the shooting within a week, otherwise the students and parents will have opinions."

The shooting of a movie will not be filmed in the order of story development like the finished films we see in the theater. The first half of the film "Left Ear" is basically concentrated on the stories that happened in the school, so the shooting task is quite heavy.

"The hotel where the crew stays is located in this hotel. The scenery is good, the food is good, and the crew fast food is also provided by them. It is close to the beachfront, so you can also swim after shooting every day."

"Wow, this is a seaside hotel. How much does it cost to spend a day? The shooting cost will be overspent at that time." Xue Xiaolu called out in surprise, but was pulled by Rao Xue beside him.

"It will definitely be my fault if the cost is overspend. It is my unshirkable responsibility as a product person to provide high-quality logistics to the crew."

In fact, this hotel is not as expensive as Xue Xiaolu and the others. It is a beachfront holiday hotel and is a member of the China Tourism Holiday Hotel Alliance. Chen Fang made reservations through Wangjiangtai, and the price was similar to an ordinary Samsung hotel, but the enjoyment was different.

Chen Fang continued to read the book: "The actors probably want to tell you first. According to the shooting plan you gave, there is basically no big problem between Ma Shichun and Guan Xiaotong, but Yang Yang's cameras are probably going to be concentrated. He has two "Super Challenges" to be recorded in August, and it will take a few days to wait."

"I know that Yang Yang's shooting plan is adjusted. Qin Mohan seems to have to play the show at the end of August," Xue Xiaolu asked.

"At the end of August, she will play a guest appearance in "The Road to Flowers" in "The Road to Flowers". It will take only four or five days. I watched the shooting plan. The scenes on Dongshan Island are almost over in those days. We probably will be relocating, so she shouldn't have much trouble."

When they heard the two mentioned Yang Yang, Rao Xue said, "Mr. Chen, I discussed with Director Xue all night to consider whether to adjust the role of Xu Yi."

Chen Fang frowned a little: "It's going to be filmed the day after tomorrow. Is it too late to adjust the role role at this time?"

"Yang Yang is very popular during this period, which also helps the popularity of our film. We are planning to increase the role of Xu Yi." Xue Xiaolu said.

"I have no objection to adjusting the scene. As long as the plot is reasonable, there are not many abrupt places." Chen Fang looked at the expressions of the two, and couldn't help but ask, "Is it Yang Yang's agent who made the request?"

Yang Yang has been in the peak of his life in the past month. He was originally just a second- and third-tier young man. After the broadcast of "Super Challenge", he became popular within a month and has been on the hot topic list of scarves several times in a row.

"Super Challenge" also created the ratings myth of domestic outdoor variety shows. The novel game style, distinct character design, and the script settings of the mind-blowing script have all made this variety show with five old men and a young man a topic for people to talk about. The scheming Huang Lei, the wicked Huang Bo, and the pretentious Sun Honglei and others are all too popular to compare with the little sheep Yang Yang who has been taken special care of by the show.

Hearing Chen Fang's inquiry, Rao Xue hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no. The main reason is that if the character Xu Yi was filmed like this in our movie, it would be resisted by movie fans and Yang Yang's fans. Xu Yi's life was all caused by a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding that had nothing to do with Xu Yi completely ruined Xu Yi's life. He was not wrong, and he once hoped to live a good life, but the blows of fate came one by one, and he was really tired. In my other novel "The End of the Left Ear", Xu Yi had a lover Xia Mimi. I suggest adding the character Xia Mimi to the movie to arrange an open ending for Xu Yi."

After listening to it, Chen Fang did not answer but turned his head to look at Qin Mohan. In order to successfully portray the role of Li Er, Qin Mohan watched Rao Xue's "Left Ear", "Secret Fruit", "Hourglass" and "Doing and Ending".

"Xu Yi was with Xia Mimi in "The End of Left Ear", but he was killed by Jiang Jiao's agent soon. Finally, Xu Yi came to the bar with explosives on his body and died with Jiang Jiao. He was a very sad character."

"Sister Rao, do you think you are a little dark? A sunny boy was pulled into darkness step by step by step by step by step. After finally meeting a true love, you wrote it to death again."

"Oh, writing a novel requires more twists and turns to attract people. If it is just as plain as water, how can the characters be vivid? So I suggest that the character of Xu Yi adds the turning point to make Xia Mimi appear a little sunshine. And if the box office is good, we can also consider filming "Left Ear 2".

"Sister Rao, just follow what you said. You have even arranged the second plot, I will definitely support it." Chen Fang stretched out his thumb to Rao Xue and signaled to you: "When it comes to the plot, I also read the script. There is a place that feels a little abrupt, which is the emotional line between Zhang Yang and Xiao Erduo. After Xiao Erduo broke up with Xu Yi, he did not have much contact with Zhang Yang. The two suddenly fell in love with each other, and the ending was together. Is Li Er's personality change too sudden?"

Qin Mohan also had a lot of opinions about this and once said to Chen Fang privately: "There was a line in the book that touched me: 'Follow you, wherever you are, what you do, it's all good.' I missed this opportunity in the movie script."

"We can add some interaction between Zhang Yang and Li Er, including the later contact between the two. We can also handle it to have a good impression of each other and leave an open ending."

"You come and Director Xue to make sure. After confirming, hold a meeting in the evening, call the actors together and inform them. In addition, the role of Xia Mimi, I will entrust Mr. Zhang to introduce the actors. She has recruited several newcomers and her qualifications are pretty good."

"Okay, then I'll trouble Boss Shen." Xue Xiaolu didn't have much objection to the choice of actors. The heroine of this drama is Qin Mohan, and Chen Fang couldn't watch Qin Mohan's first movie fail.

"Director Xue, please continue to discuss with Sister Rao. It's still early now, and Mo Han and I are going to see the scenery."
