Chapter 93

~6 min read 1,102 words

Friday, nine in the morning.

"A Bite of China" officially started filming.

"Everyone cheer up, today is the first day of filming, let's all work in our best state!"

In the crew, Director Chen clapped his hands to encourage them.

"Okay!"

"Let's do it!"

"Bring out our best strength!"

"Waited for this day for a long time, can't wait anymore."

Everyone was high-spirited.

After saying that, he approached Qin Mu: "Brother Qin, it's all up to you now!"

"No problem!"

Qin Mu smiled.

Actually, he was still under a bit of pressure.

After all, "A Bite of China" is different from other programs; there are no actors or guests performing in front of the lens, and its fundamental content is one word: 'film'!

Scenery, film!

Humanities, film!

Food, film!

It can be said that everything in the program depends on the cinematographer to capture.

Of course, the cinematography team doesn't just have Qin Mu.

But as the lead cinematographer, after the program is edited, the shots used the most will definitely be his; others are just assisting in filming some things to enrich the content a little bit.

"Let's go!"

After Director Chen and Zhang Yimou gave the order.

The main force set off.

Cainan Manyuan Village, this is a small mountain village, but there is a highway in the village leading to the city, so the development of this place hasn't lagged behind much.

Moreover, it has preserved a large amount of local folklore.

This place was decided upon by the program team after careful consideration; it's both convenient and meaningful.

After arriving at the village entrance.

The first point, what needs to be filmed is the beautiful scenery of the entire village.

Qin Mu carried the camera, standing far away outside the village, giving a long shot.

'Scenery filming specialization activated!'

As the lens moved slowly, a beautiful scene emerged quietly.

I saw the village covered with a layer of mist, hazy and misty, like an ink painting, not far away, one could clearly see houses with wisps of cooking smoke hidden in the leaves, leaving only the straight roofs to accept the breeze.

The lens shifted.

Look at the bamboo forest standing tall, the murmuring stream nearby, the green plants on the land, and the birds and flowers dancing, like a fairyland on earth.

Instantly, the feeling of birds singing and flowers fragrant, peaceful and quiet, came out!

"Good!"

"Filmed well!"

Beside him, Director Chen clapped excitedly.

Zhang Yimou was also full of surprise.

Filmed too wonderfully!

Just one shot, and half the theme was pointed out.

Beautiful scenery!

The beautiful scenery of natural harmony!

"Aerial photography ready!"

Qin Mu nodded, put away the lens, and then took the aerial photography controller handed over by the staff nearby.

'God-level automatic capture activated!'

The aircraft slowly entered the village.

Started to rise and fall in various positions, conducting close-up filming.

Close-ups are a bit more difficult.

Not only to film the characteristics of the scenery, but more importantly, to have humanistic and life atmosphere.

However, in Qin Mu’s lens, highlights appeared one after another, under rapid capture and framing.

Not a single detail was missed.

"Old Chen."

"This season of the program, it's estimated to be a big hit!"

Zhang Yimou looked at the monitor and muttered.

Before, when he accepted the cooperation to be the deputy director, he was actually a bit worried.

After all, the finished film of this program doesn't have much to do with the director.

What they need to do is just coordinate, arrange, and guide.

Scripts and such aren't of much use.

But after seeing Brother Qin’s shots, he was truly shocked.

"Yeah!"

"Before, I knew Brother Qin’s strength, it was all from online rumors, now that I've seen it for myself, I feel it's truly strong!"

Director Chen’s face was full of joy.

Signing the cooperation with Brother Qin was truly the wisest thing he had ever done!

'A certain injured former cinematographer lying in bed feels offended.'

"Director Zhang, speaking of which, aren't you going to film a movie later?"

"Have you considered changing the cinematographer?"

Director Chen laughed.

"I didn't have any thoughts before, but now I'm going to reconsider."

Zhang Yimou nodded earnestly upon hearing this.

"Hahaha."

The staff nearby heard this and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

After laughing, they felt a faint sadness.

Especially those colleagues in the cinematography group, they all had bitter faces.

Both are cinematographers, why is the gap so big?

Who is Zhang Yimou?!

That is a national treasure of the film and television industry!

If one could work for him, it would be a smooth path to success.

Uh.

It seems Brother Qin’s level is already countless times higher than theirs!

Just filming the scenery took a full hour.

No choice, there are too many beautiful scenes here, and naturally, there are many points that need to be filmed.

"Enter the village."

After verifying the results, Director Chen waved his hand with satisfaction.

Next, it was time to film people and food.

After everyone packed their things, they walked in neatly.

Here, it returned to calm.

Not long after, several cars drove slowly and stopped at the village entrance.

Immediately after, a girl ran out of the car first.

"Wow!"

"It's so beautiful here!"

She opened her arms, her nose twitching slightly, breathing in the fresh air that was completely different from the city.

Behind her, another boy got out of the car, full of excitement: "Stayed at home for three months, finally can come out to get some air."

"Peng Peng, now netizens all say you've gained twenty pounds."

"How much do you plan to lose this season?"

A middle-aged man followed slowly and joked.

"Yeah, you even went on the Spring Festival Gala last year, that handsome Peng Peng is gone forever."

"Teacher He, Teacher Huang, please supervise me."

"This season, I want to lose weight back to my peak!"

Hearing this, Peng Peng made a bitter face and immediately patted his chest to promise.

Gaining weight or whatever, it was all just for fun.

Losing weight, easy-peasy.

"Come, Director, take a photo for us, as a souvenir."

The four of them stood together, all showing happy smiles.

Click!

The photo was frozen.

If anyone who knew them saw this photo, they would definitely be surprised to find that they were Zhang Zifeng, Peng Peng, Huang Lei, and He Jiong!

These four people together represent...

"Back to Field" is about to start filming!
