Cloud Peak Scenery
Chapter 329 Future!
Su Yao was finally able to get out of bed and accompanied Lu Xuan to the set of *Zhan Lang*.
Of the several locations that had been decided upon, Lu Xuan finally chose a place that combined jungle and mountainous terrain as the final filming location.
Now, everything needed for filming had to be transported to this location, and the preliminary filming could begin.
Su Yao took Lu Xuan's arm and watched the staff busily working on the set, saying curiously,
"I don't feel like this place is any different from before. Look, there's basically no difference. It's still the same as before."
Lu Xuan said with a smile,
"Then you'd be wrong. Look, the ground has been specially treated. Now it can withstand explosions or the passage of large vehicles like large tanks that might appear during filming."
"This is a big project."
Su Yao nodded, seemingly understanding.
"But shouldn't we be using models made by the props department for filming? Why do I feel like you designed it for a real tank?"
Lu Xuan smiled without saying a word.
Su Yao punched him lightly with her fist, feigning anger.
"You're keeping me in suspense again!"
"Are you going to tell me or not!"
Lu Xuan held her small fist and said,
"Haha, look, I was just teasing you."
"Why are you so humorless!"
"Li Hao's grandfather helped me contact the troops where I trained and borrowed some decommissioned weapons and equipment."
"So, we're using real stuff when we film."
"We're using real stuff!"
Su Yao's voice rose a few degrees. She was genuinely curious about things related to the military.
Even if it's decommissioned weapons and equipment, it's still the real deal!
This isn't something that ordinary people can come into contact with.
Lu Xuan said seriously, "This time, the relevant departments are paying more attention to this movie than we thought."
"Not only is the support for various policies strong, but many places have given us the green light, so we must come up with a good work as a reward."
"We can't let down their investment and trust, otherwise it will be difficult for this type of film to receive such attention in the future!"
Su Yao didn't understand these things, but Lu Xuan was serious, so she would naturally be on high alert.
"Don't worry, I won't hold you back, and I don't have many scenes anyway."
Lu Xuan looked at Su Yao's tense face and couldn't help but pinch her cheeks.
"Our Yao Yao is the best!"
"Don't call me by my nickname!"
......
The most special thing about the movie *Zhan Lang* is that it is a typical individualistic film with no extra elements.
What is needed most is Lu Xuan's screen time, which requires Lu Xuan to shape the character's image.
As long as Lu Xuan is dazzling enough, then other things won't be a problem.
But if Lu Xuan can't shoulder the banner of the entire movie, then the movie is already half ruined.
Even if there are more real things, it won't add too much color to the movie.
Therefore, the selection of people for *Zhan Lang* this time is mostly younger actors, without using too many veteran actors.
The main goal is to take advantage of this movie opportunity to cultivate some people who can carry the banner for Xuan Yao Company.
The casting is basically complete, and the preparation of the venue is also complete.
The start of filming has entered the countdown.
At this time, Lu Xuan suddenly received a message from Aunt Liu, asking if a new actor signed by the company could fill a role in *Zhan Lang*.
The message also included the actor's photo and resume.
The photo was of a standard soldier's appearance, with sharp eyes and a face tanned dark, but the features were very delicate.
It was the kind of face that could be shown well on the big screen.
Lu Xuan flipped through his past experiences and called Aunt Liu.
"Where did you find such a good seedling? This is someone from the PLA Academy of Art. Is it possible to sign him in the market?"
Aunt Liu's voice was very proud.
"Then take a look at who I am. Of course, I put in some effort. I've been keeping an eye on him since he was in school."
"It just so happens that our Xuan Yao Company still has a bit of a reputation in the industry, so this matter was settled as soon as I contacted him."
"This is the best return for our efforts during this period of time."
Lu Xuan said with a smile on his lips.
"Okay, then, you can have him come over. I'll personally guide him. I think I should be able to use this movie to accumulate some fame for this kid."
"This kid is really lucky. He has such good resources right from the start."
"I'm a little jealous."
Aunt Liu chuckled and said, "That's also because he chose our Xuan Yao that he can get such an opportunity. It's mutual achievement, my big star."
"I'll have someone go over now. When filming starts, I plan to arrange a group of senior students from the film academy to shoot a documentary. Remember to tell me in advance. This is a very important matter, and it's related to the continuous development of our future talent."
Aunt Liu has made a lot of preparations for the sustainable development of Xuan Yao Company during this period of time.
The most important thing is the mutual training contract signed with the Film Academy.
Un-graduated directors, screenwriters, and actors can come to Xuan Yao Company to audition, including but not limited to participating in projects, or simply recording something.
After the news of *Zhan Lang* came out, a group of directors from the Beijing Film Academy were very interested in the subject matter of this film.
Because this opened up a precedent in China.
Therefore, a documentary can be made to record the filming process.
Not only can it be released as a behind-the-scenes after the film is completed, but it can also record the problems that arise when domestic directors are exploring the way forward and how to solve them.
This is also a valuable asset for film academy students.
The actor from the PLA Academy of Art is a young man who had just turned twenty. The first time Lu Xuan saw him, he felt that this kid was very sunny.
He was a sunny and cheerful big boy!
As soon as he got out of the car, he saw Lu Xuan and Su Yao at the door and ran over.
"Director Lu, Sister Su, I'm Situ Ming. Just call me Xiaoming. I'm your fan. I'm so lucky to see you in person today."
Situ Ming's enthusiasm couldn't be faked. He held Lu Xuan's hand and wouldn't let go.
Lu Xuan looked at the young man with some amusement and said,
"There's plenty of time to get along in the future!"
"This movie will take at least half a year to film. You've trained in the military for a few years, right?"
"Yes, we are all under military management. Don't look at me as a literary soldier, but it is absolutely no problem to complete ordinary assessments."
Lu Xuan patted Situ Ming on the shoulder, felt the muscles inside, and nodded.
"That's fine. Our next movie is a modern war film."
