243 Scenic Spot

On this day, Shang Hong took Chen Fei and his party to a small town.

This is the filming location of "The First Drop of Blood" that Shang Hong was looking for for everyone.

Chen Fei briefly told Shang Hong about his request before and asked Shang Hong to help him find a suitable place.

The United States is vast and sparsely populated. It takes more than two hours to get there from Nurene. It is relatively remote. Fortunately, the traffic is OK. The vehicles can reach the foot of the mountain directly. There are winding roads on the mountain, so it is quite convenient to transport things and transport things.

Today we are here to take the spotlight.

Many friends who know a little about film and television knowledge have heard of words such as "green screen" and "script", but few people know the word "viewing".

The word "viewing" is actually a professional term in film and television production. Usually, after the script is completed, the filming team goes out to the target shooting location to check whether it meets the shooting requirements.

When I saw this, some friends might be curious. Isn’t this just a trip to the mountains and rivers under the name of shooting?

Things are far from as simple as imagined. Surveying the scenes is actually quite time and effort, even exceeding the formal shooting process.

Why is it so complicated?

The professional photography process is different from tourists who "get into the car and take photos at the right time". The factors that need to be determined are far more than where to take photos.

The first thing to determine is whether the shooting location matches the script content, secondly, whether there is sufficient shooting space for the shooting location, whether it can meet the power supply during shooting, whether there is noise interference around it, and even whether the shooting location allows the team to enter the shooting, etc.

Just whether shooting is allowed will have many difficulties. For example, the down shot scenes often used in promotional videos are usually shot with drones flying to high altitudes, but some places are actually prohibited from flying drones.

Another very important thing in the survey is to confirm the weather and climate conditions of the shooting site to make sufficient preparations. Otherwise, if the weather changes temporarily occur, it will be more than the team members who are unlucky, and precious photography equipment may be hit "destructively".

Seeing this, the importance of seeing the scenery is self-evident. If you are lazy and do not do it properly during the scene survey, you will face various hidden dangers in subsequent shooting.

However, as soon as the vehicle arrived at the edge of the town, Chen Fei shook his head secretly. He felt that this place was far from his ideal location for filming.

I don’t know if he didn’t explain the requirements clearly or Shang Hong’s understanding ability had problems. Anyway, the first impression this place gives people is that it is not suitable. However, when everyone has come, he can’t give a negative answer directly. Just think that it’s just coming here to travel, travel around and have a look.

The vehicle was parked in the town.

The town has a small population of about one or two hundred people, and most of them are local residents, so Chen Fei and his group suddenly appeared, which alarmed the locals. Many people walked out of their homes and looked curiously, while some even held hunting rifles and looked carefully at the window.

I don’t know when, or who seemed to have discovered Chen Fei’s identity, was both surprised and surprised: “God! Chen———”

"What?"

"Top Gun's director, starring, Chen!"

After a while, someone approached carefully: "Hello, are you the director and starring Chen of Top Gun?"

"Yes!" Chen Fei replied naturally with a smile.

"Oh! God!"

When the guy heard this, he covered his mouth with surprise, looking disbelief.

Of course, it was the same thing after that. He took out a DVD to ask Chen Fei to sign it and took a photo with Chen Fei.

After hearing about Chen Fei's identity, others also showed great enthusiasm. Overall, these people were very hospitable and enthusiastically invited Chen Fei to their house for a seat.

However, Chen Fei refused. He said he had other things. Shang Hong wanted to say that Chen Fei came here to survey the scenery several times to ask the locals for some benefits, but Chen Fei stopped him with his eyes.

He doesn't like this place.

While a few people were strolling up the mountain, Li Yu helped Chen Fei express his thoughts: "This place is not suitable for filming "The First Drop of Blood."

"Why?" Shang Hong was surprised.

"The artificial traces on the mountain are too obvious, and there is no beauty when photographed. Moreover, the vegetation on the mountain is too single, and it appears in the camera. The colors are not beautiful enough and not good-looking. In addition, there are many backlighting places in this area, so it is very troublesome to take pictures. Moreover, the scenery of this place is too ordinary and has no characteristics."

Shang Hong was a little depressed when he heard this. He looked at Chen Fei with a gaze, hoping that Chen Fei would give him some affirmative advice, but Chen Fei nodded and said, "Old Li is right, we have to choose a new place."

After hearing this, Shang Hong hurriedly said to himself: "Brother Fei, I'm so sorry! I couldn't even pick a suitable location for you. I'm so sorry! Brother Fei, but please give me another chance..."

Chen Fei is worried about finding a suitable location for filming. A town mayor named Hans is worried about the tourism industry in the town.

The town is located west of Nurell, relatively remote, and has no industry and has difficulty in development. In order to make a living, young people in the local area have to leave their hometowns and go to the metropolis. However, survival in the metropolis is not easy, so many people gradually become homeless people, they don’t want to go back to their hometowns and cannot survive outside.

Hans is having a headache about this.

"The only advantage of our town is the tourism industry, but if the tourism industry wants to develop, it requires popularity and fame, and we lack both here."

He raised his wide and plump palm and touched his bright, big head without a single hair, which was very distressed.

At this moment, the phone on the table rang.

"Hey, I'm Hans."

"Dad!" A cute voice came from the receiver.

"Jones, my baby daughter! You finally remembered daddy!" Hans joked.

"Dad, I'm working on graduation design these days. I get up early and go to bed late every day. Time is really tight. Please forgive me, dad."

"Jones, actually dad doesn't mean to blame you. dad just wants to tell you that you should take care of your health no matter when!"

"Thank you dad!" Jones said with a smile. After the two chatted for a while, Jones said, "Dad, I called you today to tell you something. Don't you want to make the reputation of the town? Don't you want to find an opportunity for the development of the tourism industry for the town? Now, the opportunity is here. Chen is coming to us to shoot his new movie. He seems to be looking for a shooting location. Dad, I think you can contact him on your own initiative. Maybe this is the opportunity!"

"Chan?" Hans frowned.

He couldn't remember who Chen was. After all, he was old and had long passed the age of chasing stars. Many celebrities didn't know each other, let alone be familiar with him.

"Dad, Chen is the starring actor of Top Gun. Do you still remember? The fighter he was flying also made a cobra-like action?"

"Oh, it's him! He's going to make a new movie?"

Hans is not a fan of movies, and he doesn't show movies many times in the town. The reason why he is familiar with this movie is because his daughter repeatedly recommends it, and his daughter also bought him a movie disc. He happened to be idle and had nothing to do, so he opened it and watched it.

I didn't expect to be attracted to it at first sight. "Top Gun" was really well filmed. Both the picture and the storyline were very good, very excellent, and the soundtrack was also done well, especially the theme song, which he liked very much, and immediately touched him. He still hummed a few words:

Watching   -every   -motion

in    -my   -foolish   -lover's-    game

This movie opened his eyes, and he suddenly discovered that it was possible for Chinese people to shoot air combat movies.

But that's all.

He would not become a fan of Chen like his daughter. He would live his life as he did.

After hearing his daughter's words, he remembered the actor and director named Chen Fei again.

"Jones, how did you know that Chen is going to make a movie again?"

"I heard from my classmate that his father is an actor, but he is not very famous. Unexpectedly, he was attracted by Chen at first sight and became the villain in Chen's new movie. I heard from my classmate's father that Chen's new movie is a very good movie, and the box office will definitely be very good. He will definitely create miracles like "Top Gun". Dad, so why don't you take the initiative to find him to work with him?"

When Hans heard this, his brows frowned. His daughter's words moved him. For the development of the town, he exhausted his mind and thought of many solutions, but none of them worked. If he could cooperate with Chen's crew... maybe it would be a chance.

"Okay, Jones, Dad will definitely give it a try."

After hanging up the phone, Hans began to get busy and began to prepare for the relevant preparations.

On this day, Chen Fei and Li Yu and his party came back from outside and were both very tired.

They looked at a few more places, but none of them were suitable, so at this time, they felt a little depressed and tired. Everyone was lazy and didn't even want to say anything.

Chen Fei just entered the hotel lobby.

"Hi, Chen!"

He suddenly heard someone greeting him.

When I turned my head, I saw a stranger.

The other party was about 1.75 meters tall, but he was a little fat, weighing about 80 kilograms. He was wearing a suit, but the suit was bulging and his face was red. He was a very typical American, with most of the above his head bright, but he gave people a good feeling, very kind and smiling.

"Hi Chen, hello, I'm Hans, the mayor of Bill Town. I've watched your Top Gun. I really like it. My daughter is your loyal fan."

Chen Fei quickly stretched out his hand: "Hello, Mr. Hans!"

"Chan, I took the initiative to find you this time because I heard that you are worried about the location of the new movie. I think our Bill Town may be suitable for your needs, so I took the initiative to find you!"

Bill Town?

Chen Fei recalled it in his mind, but unfortunately he knew very little about the United States, and even a metropolis like Nurene, let alone a small town like Bill.

However, Hans did his homework very well. Seeing Chen Fei's appearance, he quickly opened his briefcase and took out some photos from it: "Chen, these are some real-life photos I took, you can take a look first!"

Chen Fei took the photo, flipped through a few photos and started to look at it.

The first one was taken up from the town. Most of the town and the panoramic views of the peaks were basically included. The mountains were very high, and there was snow on the top of the mountain. The peaks were rugged and steep. The vegetation on the mountain was also lush and lush, with a very pristine jungle look.

Chen Fei fell in love with this place just after taking a look. Such a scenery and such a mountain can complement "The First Drop of Blood" and are much better than the places Shang Hong looked for before.

Chen Fei quickly picked up the second photo and started to look at it.

The second photo was taken in the mountains, taken on the bank of a river. The river is still very large, three or four meters wide, and the river flows very abundantly. The river water rushed down from the mountain, stirring up snow-white waves. There were lush jungles around. Occasionally, you can see a few gorgeous wild flowers, which are very beautiful. Of course, what touched Chen Fei the most was that there was a steep cliff on one side of the river.

This needs to be very consistent with the plot in "The First Blood".

When Chen Fei finished reading the second picture, his face was full of smiles. When Hans saw that there was a show, he immediately started to introduce it.

"Hi, Chen, why don't you come here and sit and talk?"

The hotel manager quickly greeted him and said.

Chen Fei nodded: "Okay! Mr. Hans, let's go there and sit down and talk, is that okay?"
