Chapter 38 Planning Ahead
Chapter 38 Planning Ahead
When Zhou Yang returned to Beijing Film Academy, it was already dark.
He took out his phone and called Chen Yue to ask him some questions.
Chen Yue immediately asked:
"Yang-ge, what did you go to do? You didn't even tell the brothers."
Zhou Yang smiled and said:
"It'll be very soon; filming the music video is now a done deal!"
"Wow...really?!" Chen Yue asked excitedly.
"It's true," Zhou Yang replied.
"Great! Let's have some drinks tonight to celebrate," Chen Yue said happily.
"I won't drink tonight, let's go out for dinner, it's on me." Zhou Yang shook his head.
Drinking every day, what kind of person will that be?
Chen Yue said:
"OK, we'll come downstairs to find you!!"
End the call.
Several more messages came through QQ.
It's still "the world is cold and people are cruel".
She was pressing him again, asking why he wasn't replying to her messages.
That's so rude, that's going too far, and so on.
Zhou Yang just shook his head and smiled.
It was because "Chai Tou Feng" kept sending messages that my phone kept ringing.
He simply muted the phone, which made it much quieter.
...
A dozen minutes later.
Chen Yue had already come down with several people.
That's right.
Han Cheng, that big fat guy, was also with them.
Even with the dim light of the street lamps, you can see that very wide shadow from afar.
Zhou Yang couldn't help but put a hand to his forehead, but his eyes changed slightly:
"Huh?? Why don't I turn the tables on them!"
"Han Cheng has been sticking to me these past few days, always showing up in our dorm and drinking with me??"
"So... is there any indication from Jiang Wen in this?"
"What if Jiang Wen sent Han Cheng to follow me, deliberately gathering information?"
Is this unlikely?
After all, Jiang Wen is a first-rate director.
He is still considered a top-tier director.
Even if you really like his system script, that's all you like.
I would never consider him, a freshman, as an opponent.
If we're talking about filming "Waiting for You at the End of Time," it certainly won't be bad.
Was Han Cheng a spy sent by Jiang Wen?
He needs to be careful, to be prepared for unforeseen circumstances, and to plan ahead!
This meal provides a good opportunity to get some simple questions out of them.
...
"Brother Yang, Brother Yang, where have you been coming from?"
Han Cheng came up with a smile and asked.
Zhou Yang chuckled:
"Of course it's from the female celebrity's house."
"Hahaha... Have you done anything naughty at home?!"
Who knows?
Han Cheng's fleshy face immediately turned lewd.
Zhou Yang cursed:
"What's going on in your head?!"
Han Cheng quickly apologized:
"Haha...don't be angry, don't be angry, I was just joking!"
Chen Yue and the others also came up to inquire:
"Yang-ge, when can we film the music video?"
Zhou Yang smiled and said:
"It can take as little as one or two days, or as long as three or four days."
"Great! We can't wait any longer! Our first music video is about to start!"
Chen Yue, Yang Shen, and Zhao Lu were so excited they couldn't stop.
...
After chatting for a while, the group went to a noodle shop next door.
Zhou Yang ordered two cold dishes, three hot dishes, and several bowls of noodles.
During the meal, the topic of music videos naturally came up.
Chen Yue said:
"Brother Yang, the camera problem has been solved."
"Should we also consider other issues?"
Zhou Yang took a bite of noodles and nodded:
"That makes sense. Tell me more."
Chen Yue picked up a piece of tofu skin, ate it, and slowly said:
"Then, eating is the most important thing."
"Boxed meals are a priority."
Han Cheng nodded vigorously to the side:
"That makes sense, absolutely makes sense."
Zhou Yangqian laughed a few times:
"Young Master Chen, it's just a music video, a short music film."
"One day is enough, why bother with boxed lunches?"
"Do we have to pre-order boxed meals?!"
Chen Yue's eyes flickered after hearing this:
"Hmm, that makes sense. We don't need that boxed lunch."
"There is another key point - the scene."
"The Wind Rises MV needs the scenery outside."
"Brother Yang, have you found one? If not, I can help you think of some options."
Zhou Yang laughed and scolded:
"If I had nothing in my head, why would I even bother making a music video!"
Yang Shen sneered:
"Chen Yue, it's good that you think a lot."
"But Yang-ge has already considered all of these things that you can think of."
Chen Yue didn't believe it and asked again:
"What about the script supervisor?"
"What about the extras?"
"Playing a minor role?"
"Or... what about the assistant director?"
"Pfft..."
Zhou Yang, who was eating, almost choked on his food.
"Xiao Yuezi, it's a music video, a short music video, only a few minutes long, but you're making it sound like a blockbuster!"
Chen Yue stubbornly replied:
"Well... well... well, we need to take that seriously too!"
"Isn't it true that we should take every little thing and every small detail seriously?"
As the saying goes, details determine success or failure!
Zhou Yang paused slightly upon hearing this, then couldn't help but praise:
"I have to say, there's some truth to that."
Yang Shen, Zhao Lu, and Han Cheng all exclaimed in admiration:
"Awesome, awesome Brother Yue!!"
Zhou Yang considered it for a moment, and there really was a small favor he could do.
He began:
"You know what, I actually do you have a small favor to ask."
"Speak, Brother Yang, tell us! I'd die for it!"
Chen Yue and his two companions, along with Han Cheng, all patted their chests, appearing full of heroic spirit.
Zhou Yang smiled wryly:
"Full of heroic spirit and impressive momentum."
"Actually, it wasn't a big favor."
"Shooting a music video isn't that difficult."
"Only three points need to be met."
"1. Singer."
Second, the camera.
Third, the location: indoors or outdoors.
The words were spoken.
The scene is serene.
Besides the sounds in my ears, there were other sounds from the other tables.
Zhou Yang and his group were all stunned.
But Zhou Yang was an exception; he smiled and said:
"What are you doing? Don't just stand there, eat your food."
Chen Yue and the other three admired Zhou Yang even more.
"Wow, Yang-ge, that's amazing! Absolutely right, you solved the music video in just three minutes!"
Chen Yue gave a thumbs up, his expression one of utmost admiration.
Zhou Yang gradually got to the point.
"The Wind Rises" is a music video with three scenes.
"First, in the morning, we arrived at Lingyun Elementary School and filmed for one minute."
As he spoke, he looked at Chen Yue and the other two:
"You guys know Lingyun Elementary School, right?"
"We know." All four nodded. "It's that elementary school that's about to be demolished."
Zhou Yang nodded: "That's right."
Chen Yue frowned, somewhat puzzled:
"Brother Yang, why did you choose a closed-down school?"
"Lingyun Primary School has already begun its demolition process, and the campus is still small."
"It's all messy inside—fallen leaves, broken walls, pebbles, broken bricks—how can you film there?"
Zhou Yang said solemnly:
"This is exactly what I want."
"If Lingyun Elementary School hadn't been slated for demolition, I wouldn't have chosen this school either!"
"But... is it okay to be so broken?" Yang Shen asked, puzzled.
"Yes." Zhou Yang's gaze was deep, and his tone was firm.
Chen Yue and the others had no more doubts and nodded in belief.
Zhou Yang asked:
"Now we have a small problem: how can we get into Lingyun Elementary School?"
"How long will it take inside?" Chen Yue asked after thinking for a moment.
"Half an hour is enough."
Zhou Yang responded.
