independent filmmaker

The two positions of cameraman and sound engineer were filled again, everything was back on track, Xie Lansheng was happy again, and the filming of "Rooting" continued.

Qi Yong also said to Xie Lansheng: "In order to increase the sense of reality, the 101st, 105th, 109th, and... I hope to shoot with a super 16mm camera, and then expand 35mm in post-production."

Xie Lansheng tried his best to satisfy any opinions from the photographer. He thought for a while and said, "Okay, after the other scenes are finished, I will ask Xiaolu to go to Hebei to buy the 16mm film." Super 16mm will indeed have a more realistic sense .For "Growing Roots", Qi Yong really put his mind to it.

Qi Yong didn't really believe in Luo Dajing's photography skills, so he reshot several scenes he had shot before.At this time, Xie Lansheng thanked Luo Dajing for his straightforwardness - he pretended to run away in two or three days, which was better than running in two or three weeks.

Qi Yong likes little red and little green, and taught them patiently: "Little red and little green, remember, the fender is used for frequency adjustment, and the aperture is used for focus adjustment. It’s two frames per second, and this machine can reach 150 frames per second at the fastest. The standard number of frames is 24 frames, which is most in line with people’s visual habits. Therefore, feature films, unless there are special needs, are all in one second. 24 frames, that is to form 24 negatives in one second, just open the leaf board to 175 degrees, it’s very simple.”

Little Red and Little Green: "Oh oh oh oh!" The two of them are very interested, but Luo Dajing never teaches.

"There is also the aperture. If I say 8, I will use 8. If I say 5.6, I will use 5.6. The smaller the number, the larger the aperture, the more light will enter, and the smaller the depth of field. There is also focus...focal length..."

Xie Lansheng looked at it and felt that he really invited the right person.

He was actually quite guilty.

Qi Yong's good eight weeks of "experience the changes in the motherland" was reduced to five weeks by him, and the remaining three weeks must be in this kind of place.Xie Lansheng thought in his heart that he would be better after returning to Beijing. Although he still didn't have a car, at least he didn't have to take a tractor.

Qi Yong actually complained that "you two lied to me", while Xinye glanced at him lightly and said, "Don't act like a baby when you're old", which made Qi Dashe choke on the spot.

Well.

Xie Lansheng wanted to catch up with work.Complete the location shooting ahead of time, and take Qi Yong out of Xuyi, a place that doesn't shit.

this is possible.

The performance of Xin Ye and Ouyang Nannan exceeded expectations.Xinye can always be in place at the first time, and Ouyang Nannan is also very good. During the one and a half months of "unemployed", they have become familiar with the roles, no matter the lines or what.Because of the need to save film, the crew will rehearse every day. Xie Lansheng used tape to circle the boundaries of the actors' positions. The new photographer Qi Yong did lighting and testing in advance. At the same time, he did not need much photography skills based on the rehearsal scene Ready, can rush.

The thing that matters most is actually the director.He has to finally think about the plot, think about the lines, carefully consider the form of expression, prepare props, arrange the scene, use checkers to study the position, think about how to explain the script and inspire and drive the actors... There is not enough time.

Therefore, whether the crew can finish work ahead of schedule and leave as soon as possible mainly depends on whether Xie Lansheng can improve his efficiency.

Xie Lansheng can only sleep for three or four hours a day.The weather is still a little cold now, but Xie Lansheng always squats outside the house in the middle of the night with a flashlight in his mouth to study his position in order not to disturb other people.

But Xie Lansheng really wanted to get out of here early.

On the one hand, this is for Qi Yong, and on the other hand, it is also to save money.

Originally, the shortfall was only 2920 yuan, but Qi Yong's round-trip air ticket made the budget exceed a lot, and now it is close to 6000 yuan.As for Xiaohong, Xiaolu and Qian Xie Lansheng, who Ouyang Nannan went home first and then came back, she didn't bother to forget.

After minimizing sleeping time and eating time, Xie Lansheng accidentally discovered that "washing clothes" also takes time.There is no running water in this place, and it is all drawn from the well, and pouring pots and pots makes him feel very troublesome.

But Xuyi Village is full of dust, and it's too dirty and disgusting if you don't wash your clothes.

He only has two sets of clothes.

How to do it?

After careful research, the clever Xie Lansheng discovered that the most easily dirty place is the trouser legs!This place is full of dirt, and the trouser legs of the two trousers basically need to be washed in two days.The second is the two cuffs, because I often write on my stomach.Xie Lansheng doesn't get oily often, but the neckline is fine.

"Hey..." Xie Lansheng knew.

So, every two days, Xie Lansheng used large scissors to cut off a section of the trouser leg, and then cut off a section of the cuff, and then wore it.This way he doesn't have to wash, and two sets of clothes are enough to deal with when he returns to Beijing in three weeks, at most rubbing the neckline in the middle.

In this way, after being cut twice, his trousers turned into cropped trousers, after being cut twice more, his trousers became cropped trousers, and after two more times, his trousers became cropped trousers, which became shorter and shorter.

He thought he was really clever and could always think of a solution.

Cut it directly with a click, which is much easier than washing it the next day.

…………

Six or seven days after "Rooting" started, seeing Xie Lansheng travel shorter and shorter, Xin Ye, who noticed him from time to time, finally felt something was wrong.

"Xie Lansheng." As long as he is not on the set of "Growing Roots", Xin Ye is usually not called "Xie Dao", he said, "Your pants still have sleeves, what's the matter? It's getting shorter and shorter?"

"This," Xie Lansheng, who didn't lie unless necessary, didn't want to hide it, "because I don't have time to wash clothes because I want to hurry up. This is very good. If it gets dirty, I can cut it off, and it will be over in ten seconds. Don't delay, if you have this kind of effort, it's better to improve the script of "Rooting", or improve the form of expression. It doesn't matter if you cut the clothes, and I feel quite comfortable."

"..." Xinye was once again shocked by Xie Lansheng to the point of being speechless.He has always paid attention to taste, and he can't understand how rough it is.

He looked at each other again.

Xie Lansheng's skin was very white, half of a lotus root-like forearm and equally white calf were protruding from the jagged sleeves and trousers, creating a strong visual contrast.

"..." Xin Ye tried hard not to scold the other party bloody, took a deep breath, and said, "Take off your shirt."

"what???"

Xin Ye didn't want to talk nonsense any more, and directly started to unbutton the button.Xie Lansheng was used to buttoning the buttons to the top. Xinye unbuttoned two of them, and when he saw the junction of the other's neck and the collarbones on both sides, his throat rolled.

Xie Lansheng stopped Xin Ye and asked blankly, "What are you doing???"

Xin Ye just repeated: "Take off your shirt, don't make me say it a third time."

At this point, Xie Lansheng understood the meaning of the other party a little bit, and he was a little embarrassed: "No, really no, I'm pretty good like this, very comfortable, and I'm fine."

"Don't make me say it a third time."

"..." Frozen for a while, knowing what the other party wanted to do, he had to do it, Xie Lansheng was overwhelmed by Xinye's aura, and he gave in, compromised, and said in a low voice, "Thank you then, wait until later I'll wash it for you... I'll be back in Beijing in a while."

"okay."

Although it was quite normal for an old man to be shirtless, Xie Lansheng was still a little reluctant to be naked in person, so he turned his back, faced the desk, unbuttoned one by one, and took off his shirt to expose his back.He rolled up the shirt in his hand and threw it over the other shoulder.

Xinye squinted his eyes recklessly.

The back of the other party is extremely smooth, the shoulder blades are more prominent, and the middle spine is deeply concave. When the white shirt was taken off just now, the muscles on the butterfly bone tightened and opened again, which is very beautiful.The waist is thin, with two obvious waist dimples, which suddenly rise up below the back waist and are hidden in the jeans.The overall body is thin, but the arm line is very beautiful, neither too strong nor weak, and the line from the armpit to the waist to the buttocks is also very beautiful.

"Okay..." Xie Lansheng put his hands on his hips, turned his face and glanced back, "Thank you so much, I will pay you back in the future."

Seeing that Xie Lansheng was embarrassed and wanted to see more, Xinye changed his mind temporarily, raised his chin, and said, "Take off your pants, too."

"Ah...?" Xie Lansheng was a little confused.

Take off your pants too?

This is not good.

He couldn't hold back, and held his trouser waist tightly with his left and right hands.

"Do not talk nonsense."

Xin Ye was always imposing, walked over in a few steps, stretched his hands from the left and right sides of the opponent's waist, put them in front of Xie Lansheng's abdomen, and directly unbuckled his belt buckle.He used two long fingers to pick out the end of the belt, snapped it off, and pulled it out of the buttonhole.

In fact, he himself didn't know why he wanted to watch it.

Xie Lansheng: "...Hello!!!"

It happened that photographer Qi Yong, who came back from the United States, wandered into the room and was shocked when he saw this scene!He was "well-informed" in the United States, thinking that Xinye had agreed to join "Rooting" from the very beginning, and felt that he had understood it, as if he knew the truth, so he slipped away quickly.

Inside the house, Xie Lansheng was completely convinced of the simplicity and rudeness of "do whatever you want", but he couldn't back down, holding his waistband tightly with both hands, and shouted: "Xin Ye, don't make trouble! We are Chinese, not Americans. You can’t just wear shorts!” Xie Lansheng has seen American men on the beach in movies, their shapes were stretched out, so scary.

While holding the waistband of his trousers with his hands, he arched each other, trying to make Xin Ye leave him.

Seeing that he was really resisting, Xinye vowed to die, stopped, decided to let Xie Lansheng go, and went back with his shirt.

…………

10 minute later.

Standing in front of the laundry tub, Xinye suddenly doubted life.

etc.He came back to see the panda...why did he do the laundry?

And he also planned to get up about half an hour early tomorrow to take out the dirty pants from Xie Lansheng's pillow.

Xinye frowned, crossed his hips, and looked down at the broken laundry tub for a long while, then suddenly pressed the white shirt into the water as if resigned to his fate.

However, a few times later, just as Xinye was about to push the neckline into the water, as if he had touched some switch, his hand stopped suddenly, pinching the neckline with a few fingers, he couldn't bear to press it, and froze there , as if being seduced.

No one was around.It was very inexplicable, and Xin Ye seemed to be in a daze, so he picked up the inside of the neckline that was still dry to the tip of his nose, and sniffed it lightly.

A dry smell.

The author has something to say: Lan Sheng, you are so clever, you put yourself in it so as not to wash the clothes.
