Chapter 70 Have you read Journey to the West?
The beautiful lady Fan put the rope of the surfboard on her feet, then walked into the sea holding the surfboard.

His body gradually merged into the sea, and Fan Binbin lay on the surfboard, paddling with his hands.

As the waves surged, Fan Binbin's body swayed along with the surfboard.

Although she was wearing a surfing suit over the bikini, it couldn't hide her beautiful figure at all.

The surfing suit is a very close-fitting model, and the zipper is just right at the chest, making it look full and plump, while revealing a large area of ​​white.

The first half of the play is all about showing off one's body, so for every shot, Zhang Chen followed the standards of Fan Binbin's sexy photo album.

"Ka, Binbin, pay attention to the expression on your face, it's too rigid. You are a girl who loves surfing, and you get excited when you see the sea, so when you enter the sea, there should be an expression on your face, that kind of excitement and happiness~"

Zhang Chen put forward his own request. He deliberately changed the way he addressed Fan from the original Teacher Fan, Teacher Binbin to Binbin.

After all, we have been in close contact, so it’s not appropriate to call you teacher.

"Okay director, I got it."

The filming started again. In front of the monitor, this time Fan followed Zhang Chen's request and his expressions became more expressive.

The smile was very pure, just the kind that Zhang Chen required, just right.

Zhang Chen nodded. Who said she had no acting skills? She was just not as good as those talented actresses of the same period.

As an artist who also became famous through hype, her positioning is actually similar to that of the later traffic stars.

But Fan's professionalism is far better than those young actresses.

Although her acting skills were not up to the level of being crowned a queen, they were at least above passing level, and she was not comparable to those guys in later generations who could only stare.

The sea water wet Fan's hair, but it did not affect her charm at all.

The lines lying on the surfboard are bumpy and have a unique beauty, especially when squeezed.

This is also thanks to Fan's strict management of his image, with his body being thin where it should be thin and plump where it should be plump.

Next is the scene of encountering two surfers, but they came a little earlier today, and were already preparing to return when Fan arrived.

This is actually a hint.

Next it was the turn of the whale carcass to appear. The crew had already pulled the whale carcass to the center of the sea by boat. Xiao Jin pressed the switch, and the blood bag hidden in the prop exploded. Red liquid simulating whale blood slowly flowed out, dyeing the nearby sea water red.

Fan Binbin had no idea and continued to lie on the surfboard, heading towards the sea.

Zhang Chen designed three shots here, starting with a close-up of Fan Binbin.

Fan's expression suddenly became confused, as if he smelled something bad, and the nearby sea water seemed to become turbid.

The camera then switched to a whale carcass not far away, with a huge whale carcass floating on the water.

As the waves rise and fall, you can occasionally see the huge eyes of whales.

Seagulls were surrounding us, gnawing at the corpse from time to time.

The seagulls are all real seagulls. There are a lot of them on the seashore. As long as you cater to their interests, they will spontaneously act as extras.

Then the camera switches to an aerial shot.

From the aerial perspective, the smallness of human beings and the hugeness of the whale carcass form a strong contrast. The water surface near the whale carcass is dyed red, and the range of red is gradually expanding.

This scene is so stunning that it can almost be used as a wallpaper.

This shot was all taken with aerial photography. At that time, there were no drones, so aerial photography was done either with helicopters or hot air balloons.

Zhang Chen chose a hot air balloon.

The procedures for helicopter flights are complicated and the fees are high, costing tens of thousands a day, which is far less cost-effective than a hot air balloon.

When taking the photo, Ning Hao deliberately added a filter to make the sky look darker than yesterday. This is actually a hint that something bad is about to happen.

"Click~"

The shot ended and Zhang Chen began to watch the replay.

This shot was more difficult to shoot, and he had to watch it very carefully, otherwise if something went wrong it would need to be reshot. The setup alone took at least two hours.

"It's over, get ready for the next one~"

When everyone heard Zhang Chen's voice coming from the loudspeaker, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The following filming was not difficult. Fan discovered the dead whale and thought that the body might attract predators, so he wanted to return to the shore and paddled desperately.

Here Zhang Chen gave an upward shot looking up from the bottom of the sea.

The explanation given by oceanographers for sharks attacking humans is that humans are very similar in size to seals when swimming, and seals are one of the main food sources for sharks, so sharks attack humans.

Regardless of whether this view is right or wrong, it happens to be applicable here.

In the upward shot from the bottom, the outline of the surfboard is visible on the bright sea surface, and around the surfboard are traces made by the heroine when paddling. It does look a bit similar to a seal.

This is actually a hint, imitating the shark's perspective.

Usually when people see this shot, they know that something is targeting the protagonist in the depths of the vast ocean.

Add to that the foreshadowing that had been laid before, the dark sky, the departure of the companions, the huge whale carcass, and the flowing blood, and the tension was built up bit by bit.

In fact, this shot would be more appropriate to be shot in a water tank.

However, Zhang Chen wanted to try it here to see how it works.

So far, it’s not bad.

Then the story continued to develop. Before the heroine had paddled far, a wave hit her. The huge wave did not defeat the heroine. The experienced heroine took the opportunity to stand up on the surfboard and used the power of the waves to glide.

This is when the villain Shark makes his first appearance.

The heroine is riding a surfboard through the waves, looking very cool. In the wave wall behind her, a shark is looming. This shot is very beautiful and is also a famous scene of "The Shallows", which can be used as a promotional poster.

However, this picture can only be synthesized in post-production, and it is impossible to take pictures here.

Then the shark, feeling that the heroine had overshadowed him, began to attack her.

The heroine, who was so heroic one second ago, rolled in the waves the next second, hit the corals, hit the seabed, and was separated from her surfboard.

All of these have to be synthesized using green screen, and it is impossible to complete the shooting using purely technical means.

"That's all for today, let's call it a day~"

Seeing that the time was almost up and all the content to be filmed according to the shooting schedule had been completed, Zhang Chen chose to call it a day.

Starting tomorrow, most of the shots will be close-up, and they will be shooting in the water tank.

The prop truck drove over and the staff began to load the props onto the truck, while the others walked back to the small fishing village.

……

In the hotel room, Fan Binbin had just finished taking a shower and was drying her hair when her assistant ran in excitedly: "Sister Binbin, let's go to the beach tonight. Many people in the crew have made plans to go to the beach tonight..."

"I don't want to go. I'm exhausted after a day of filming. Go and have fun. Don't worry about me. I can stay by myself."

Fan Binbin decisively refused. It was quite comfortable to play in the water at the beach, but it would be a different feeling if you had already been soaking in the water all day.

"Ah, you're not going? But everyone in the crew is going. I heard Director Zhang is going too."

"Director Zhang is going too? Who told you that?"

"Photographer Ning Hao, I heard him and Director Zhang talking about it during dinner. It seems that Cao Bingkun organized a bonfire party, and Director Zhang agreed to go."

"Bonfire party? Okay, I'll go too."

……

In the evening, the bonfire party was held as scheduled, right on the beach where they had filmed before.

Not only the people in their crew, but also the villagers in the village.

The party was lively, with seafood, barbecue, beer, but unfortunately there were no crayfish, but there was singing and dancing, and all kinds of fresh fruits...

As the two most famous people in the crew, Fan Binbin must sit with Zhang Chen.

Everyone started to cheer and asked Zhang Chen to perform. Zhang Chen didn't have any talent, so he just played a piece of harmonica, "Evenings on the outskirts of Moscow".

Then people wanted Fan Binbin to perform a hula dance, but she was rejected because dancing was not her forte.

But she didn't spoil everyone's fun and sang a song.

To be fair, the voice is pretty good.

In fact, Sister Jiuyi’s father is a professional singer of the Naval Aviation Art Troupe, so she has received professional training since childhood.

It’s just that I didn’t choose the path of a singer.

"Teacher Binbin is so amazing. I didn't expect you can sing so well." Even in this situation, Zhang Chen still called the other party Teacher Binbin.

"Director Zhang's harmonica is also very nice."

The two raised their glasses, but their minds were not on that at all.

It is the time when love is passionate, and no matter whether it is a man or a woman, all they think about is sex with a partner.

During the meal, people came over from time to time to toast, and the two men responded enthusiastically, but it was obvious that they were distracted.

After three rounds of drinks, the atmosphere became increasingly lively, people were drinking and dancing, and no one was paying attention to them anymore.

Zhang Chen was about to pull Fan Binbin away quietly, but as soon as he stood up, he was surrounded by a group of people.

Surrounding him were the village chief and his relatives: "Director Zhang Chen, you can't leave. I haven't toasted you yet. Thank you for giving my grandson the opportunity to act. As a grandfather, I thank you..."

Huh? It sounds like a curse.

Zhang Chen wanted to leave but failed, as he was dragged down by the village chief and his group to drink.

Fan Binbin covered his mouth and laughed secretly, but stood up openly: "Sorry, I have to leave. It's getting late. I should go catch up on my beauty sleep."

"Oh, beauty sleep, I understand, I understand, Teacher Fan, please do as you please~"

Everyone knows that female celebrities love beauty and everyone supports it.

But it’s not the same for male directors. Even when they have to pee, they need someone to accompany them.

Seeing the beautiful Fan leaving him, Zhang Chen had a look of despair on his face. His hand was still held by the village chief. He didn't know what habit it was, but he liked to hold the other person's hand and brag when drinking.

"Director Zhang, let's drink. I'll drink first~"

The village chief was not at all vague. He picked up the wine glass in his hand and drank it all.

What they drank today was the local Haima Gongjiu, a health wine produced by the Yefeng Group. It is made from a variety of ingredients including seahorse, longan meat, honey, wolfberry, black dates, donkey-hide gelatin, and amomum.

You can guess what the effect of this wine is just by listening to the ingredients.

Fan Binbin knew that Zhang Chen might not be able to get away in a short time. Looking at the aggrieved look in his eyes, he suddenly felt playful.

She took advantage of no one's attention and deliberately leaned close to Zhang Chen's ear:

“Have you read Journey to the West?”

"I've seen it."

Then, Miss Fan didn't say anything. She knocked on his head three times and left.
