Passerby's Guide to Eating Watermelons

The first step is to prepare for filming the TV series. The script is only the first step. Next, you have to form your own team.

This matter is relatively easy to deal with. After all, the students in their class have just graduated, and those who have filmed TV dramas before may not have found jobs. It is definitely no problem to invite them over at this time.

What's more, there are younger classmates from the same school, plus people from my mother's company, so it is naturally not a problem to put together this team.

Secondly, there are the protagonists of this play. The male and female protagonists both have their own character flaws and shining points. To play this relatively complex character, a certain level of skill is required, so a complete novice will not do, and you must find someone with experience.

In addition, there are a series of issues such as shooting equipment, shooting location, shooting funds, etc.

This is definitely not something that can be easily solved. Although I have had previous experience, I have to start from scratch this time, which is naturally very troublesome.

Zuo Zhizhi has no patience at all. She likes to have fun and travel, but once she decides on something, she will do her best to complete it.

So it took Zuo Zhizhi almost a month to finally get all these things ready.

This is despite the massive support from others.

It is really hard to imagine how those completely newcomers completed the series of preparations with great difficulty.

First of all, there was the filming funds. Zuo Zhizhi had not spent all the New Year's money she had received over the years and the money she earned from the previous film, so naturally she had to invest part of it herself.

The next step was to look for investment from other people. The first person Zuo Zhizhi looked for was Xu Mingzhu. Although the heroine of this play was a little different from Xu Mingzhu, as her best friend, it was only natural for her to help her when she encountered problems!

Xu Mingzhu didn't care at all and paid the money very readily. After reading the script, she decided on one of the villain roles.

Zuo Zhizhi was of course very satisfied with the free actor, and immediately found Mo Xuewei.

"My dearest cousin, I'm about to start filming my own TV series. Are you interested in watching it?"

After understanding the situation, Mo Xuewei didn't care. After all, she had been in the industry for so long, so it was no problem for her to invest some of her money. However, she declined the idea of ​​performing, "I can't leave the show here at all, so I won't get involved!"

Although the combined money of the three of them is not very much, it is still enough to shoot a TV series.

In addition, what you raise is only the initial funds. If it is really not enough in the later stage, you can naturally ask for help from others.

But now the three of them have the final say!

When the other members of the Zuo family learned that their sister/daughter was going to film a TV series, they naturally looked forward to it and prepared financial support.

I didn’t expect that the TV series was about to start filming, but I still didn’t get any news.

Although she felt a little disappointed, she immediately adjusted her mood and said, "She is indeed my sister/daughter. She can do this on her own without relying on the family!"

Even when he went to the company, he would raise his head proudly, wanting to tell everyone about it. However, after Zuo Zhizhi's repeated emphasis, he buried this matter deep in his heart.

However, they are also prepared to announce it to others as soon as the matter is settled, so that they can know how outstanding their children are!

Zuo Zhizhi didn't know what her family was thinking, but devoted herself wholeheartedly to the filming.

After all, time waits for no one!

According to the content of the script, the play is divided into three time periods.

The first is set hundreds of years ago, mainly to tell the identity background of the male and female protagonists. Since it is interspersed in the middle, it does not need to be very detailed, but it is also indispensable.

The second time period is during the Republic of China, and this is also the key part of the plot. After all, this is a wonderful drama in which the male and female protagonists have misunderstandings and break up, and it must not be sloppy.

As for the third time period, it is naturally in modern times. The male and female protagonists meet again in modern times. In the process of jointly solving the case, they resolve the misunderstandings of the year and successfully get together.

Among these three time periods, the second one is undoubtedly the most expensive scenario.

Zuo Zhizhi knew that her funds were limited, so it was impossible for her to spend all the money on setting up the scene. So she took a shortcut and decided to borrow the scene set up by others.

A few months ago, when a Republican spy drama was being prepared, Zuo Zhizhi used some methods to tell the director that Qin Ling was a role-adding actress, thus successfully avoiding a lot of trouble.

In addition, Zuo Zhizhi's mother had some connections with the other party, and after promising not to delay the other party's filming process, Zuo Zhizhi successfully got a chance to film the Republic of China scene.

Although the shooting time is quite tight, although we need to shoot according to other people’s progress, and although we cannot adjust the content...but it doesn’t matter, after all, this is a free scene!

Building the scenes for Republican-era dramas consumes a huge amount of money, but now, simply adjusting the filming process can save this money, which is really cost-effective.

What's more, when the other party was filming, Zuo Zhizhi could learn and observe from the side. After all, it is difficult to gain anything from directing without the hands-on guidance of others.

Zuo Zhizhi was very satisfied with this!

After the filming of the TV series officially started, she first studied hard with the director for a few days under the guidance of her mother.

Although I wanted to continue studying, I couldn't delay my filming schedule. So while they were filming the city scenes, I quickly went to the rural area they had prepared in advance to film.

This filming mainly focuses on the heroine's scenes. After all, the heroine herself comes from a relatively poor family, so it is natural to shoot in such a remote rural area.

Zuo Zhizhi even used extras from this large crew to cast some rural actors.

Anyway, they knew that a TV series was being filmed here, so they naturally gathered around. Although it was just a small TV series, everyone was happy because they could make money.

Because the actors were experienced, the filming of the TV series went very smoothly, and the heroine's memories were all filmed in just a few days.

The only thing worth mentioning is that the relationship between Zuo Zhizhi and the heroine gradually becomes closer.

There is no way, after all, the previous incident was quite embarrassing, because the heroine this time is Li Baiwei!

When Zuo Zhizhi heard the name for the first time, she had no reaction at all. After all, she had completely forgotten about this person.

It was when I was communicating with Xu Mingzhu that I remembered that Li Baiwei was the little white flower heroine who secretly got married and had a child in the very beginning of the dating show.

What a wonderful fate this is!

In fact, these two people were not very clear about each other before they confirmed their role, but by chance they have come to the current situation. It must be said that fate is amazing!
