A great director who grew up happily

Chapter 222 Visiting Team

Before dawn, Chen Jinnian got on the bus to the set, holding a thick instruction manual and reading it carefully.

This was the gift package reward he received when he logged in for 900 days in total: a miniature supercomputer and instructions for use.

The system is described as a micro supercomputer, but it is not micro at all. The main body of the computer alone requires at least a 30-square-meter room to be placed. If the huge heat dissipation requirements are added, it will have no problem occupying a two-bedroom, one-living-room house.

So even though he had gotten the machine for several days, he still had no idea how to exchange it for the supercomputer. There was really no place to use it, and he didn't know where to use it.

You can't let the supercomputer play video games every day. If you don't know, you might think he is running a mining farm at home.

"Yes, mining."

Chen Jinnian slammed the instruction manual shut. He had completely forgotten about mining. It wasn't just mining, but also the skyrocketing prices of graphics cards caused by the mining boom. These were all part of his family's business. His father, Chen Ming, had been selling computer hardware for half his life.

Because he was too excited, his movements were a little too big, which woke up Wang Yidi who was sleeping on his shoulder.

Rubbing his sleepy eyes, he asked, "Are we on set yet?"

"Not yet. Actually, you don't have to come today. You have to take the re-examination in the afternoon." He raised his hand and stroked Wang Yidi's smooth face, saying with pity.

"It's okay. My mom will come pick me up. I won't be late. Besides, you're much busier than me." Wang Yidi put her arm around his and adjusted her body to find a comfortable position before asking, "Isn't it too hard for you to squeeze the shooting schedule so short?"

Wang Yidi knew that the average filming period for a movie was about three months, and in terms of the specific shooting progress, he had to shoot half a page of the script every day.

But Chen Jinnian waved his hand and cut the schedule by two-thirds. Wang Yidi was even a little worried that he would not be able to finish filming in such a short time.

"It's okay. My last movie only took me 31 days to shoot. This one is even simpler than the last one. No matter how slow I try, I can finish it within a month." Chen Jinnian said confidently.

He is a quick shooter when it comes to making movies. He doesn't need the actors to show more possibilities. As long as they do what he thinks is acceptable, it's fine. After all, it's not an art film, so there's no need to be self-admiring.

Moreover, one month is the longest time that an average person can maintain enthusiasm and motivation. If it goes on for longer, they will become more and more tired.

After the filming started, everyone discovered that the young director Chen was quite experienced in filming, and his on-site scheduling was well organized. Under his control, the progress of the entire film was extremely fast.

Several executive directors invited to the crew originally thought that they were here to be "unsigned" directors, similar to Guo Xiaosi, who were only responsible for making requests and rejecting plans on the scene, and the specific filming was handed over to the executive director. However, when the film was finally completed, it was written as a work directed by Guo Xiaosi.

However, after the filming officially started, these executive directors realized that they had overthought.

Chen Jinnian really only used them as tools. Unless the director himself was away from the crew to take an exam, they would have the opportunity to shoot a few shots independently.

Even if there is an opportunity for individual guidance, the filming must be done according to the requirements left behind.

But not everyone has Chen Jinnian's scheduling ability. Often, during filming, the progress would be delayed for unknown reasons, which put a lot of pressure on several executive directors.

On this day, Chen Jinnian was not on the set because he was attending the third audition of the Central Academy of Drama. Several executive directors could not continue the filming halfway through and were gathered together arguing fiercely, trying to persuade each other.

Yu Qian was wearing a down jacket and happily sitting in front of the heater to keep warm.

Guo Qilin, wearing glasses, brought a cup of hot water to his master and asked in a low voice: "Master, aren't you worried that we can't continue filming now?"

"Hey, why should I be in such a hurry? Today's segment isn't that important anyway. Just wait. If these guys haven't finished filming before Jinnian comes back, they'll be scolded to death."

Yu Qian leisurely opened the thermos and took a sip of tea. He had to take the time to rest because he still had to rehearse the night scene tonight, which was the important scene.

Lin Miaomiao, who was very clever, saw that everyone was chattering, so she moved a small stool and sat next to Yu Qian, calling him "Uncle Yu" affectionately.

"Okay, Miaomiao, let me tell you, I don't have any snacks on me anymore. You took all the snacks I had."

Yu Qian knew that his co-stars were young people under the age of 20, so he asked his wife to prepare two large bags of snacks and bring them to the set. Unexpectedly, they were all gone in just over a week.

Most of it went into the stomach of big eater Lin Miaomiao.

"Hey, Uncle Yu, I don't want to eat. I've already bought a lot of snacks online. When Jinnian comes back, please bring them back for me."

"Good fellow." Yu Qian praised without thinking and continued, "You are the first one in the crew who dares to order Da Nian around."

"We're all friends." Lin Miaomiao smiled, revealing her two small canine teeth. Then she turned to Guo Qilin and asked, "I want to ask, why is your nickname Dalin, and Chen Jinnian's nickname is Da Nian? Are you related?"

Yu Qian laughed out loud after hearing this. "Look at this girl's eyes. How can they look alike? Even if Xiao Heizi agrees, Jinnian's father won't agree."

But Guo Qilin pretended to be serious and said: "Miao Miao, since you have found out, I will not hide it from you. Jinnian and I are half-brothers."

"Haha, I told you two were related." Lin Miaomiao stood up excitedly, "Sure enough, I found out. We have different fathers and different mothers. Oh, no, this is still not related."

There was a burst of laughter at the scene.

After a while, several executive directors had not yet decided how to shoot, when a crew member hurried over, leaned close to Yu Qian's ear, and told him that a friend was coming to visit the set.

Yu Qian quickly got up and left. He had a wide circle of friends, and everyone had a rare period of free time after the New Year, so many friends came to visit him on set after learning that he had accepted the role of the male lead.

Some people were also invited to guest star in one or two scenes. After all, this was his first leading role in many years, so he was very concerned about it.

As soon as he came out of the scene, Yu Qian saw a man with short hair and a scruffy beard. He couldn't tell who he was at first glance.

"You are, eh, you are Wu Jing. Aren't you preparing for a movie? How do you have time to come here?"

After recognizing each other, he quickly stepped forward and gave a warm hug.

Yu Qian and Wu Jing are old acquaintances. They were introduced to each other by his partner a few years ago. They often get together for a drink when they have nothing to do.

"Brother is filming, how could I not come and see it when I pass by?" Wu Jing said. In fact, he was not passing by, but he deliberately made a detour in Langfang when he came back from Zhangjiakou.

I came here solemnly to ask Yu Qian for help with something.
