Chapter 91 will want to rely on him.
After the holiday, the crew resumed work. Shen Zhiyi took a look at the script and found that Director Meng had changed the script again.
"Director Meng is really amazing," Xiao Dong couldn't help but complain after learning that the entire crew was about to move to a mountain forest to film, "Why go to a mountain? Can't we just make a scene in post-production? Why is there such a big fuss? No wonder the budget is skyrocketing."
But Director Meng is so serious that he would never use post-production if real scenes can be used. He is also picky. He won’t shoot a place that doesn’t fit the description in the script and insists on going to some deep mountains or old forests.
"The screenwriter said the same thing," Shen Zhiyi smiled, "and then Director Meng scolded me."
Xiao Dong shuddered and sighed depressedly, "Okay, I'll prepare some more mosquito repellent and bring some thick clothes. It should be quite cold on the mountain now."
After arriving at the place, I found that I still didn't bring enough things. No one lives here. Only occasionally some mountaineers or hiking enthusiasts come here for a picnic. If you want to stay, you have to set up a tent yourself.
Fortunately, Director Meng was well prepared. At least he invited a lot of professionals to provide guidance. Once all the things were set up, it looked like a large camping site.
After returning from the mobile toilet, Xiao Dong was concerned about tonight's night scene, "What time will the shooting end?"
What they needed to shoot was an action scene of escaping in the mountains. In the first half, they even had to ride a horse. It was at night, and Xiao Dong was worried, fearing that something might happen.
"Hard to say."
Shen Zhiyi had already familiarized herself with the director and martial arts instructor about the location for this scene. She had practiced the action scenes long ago, so there was no big problem. The only difference was that the forest path was not that flat, so riding a horse would be quite difficult. Although she had already done training on riding a horse over obstacles, she was still not completely sure about it.
"Can I use a substitute?"
It was so stressful that Xiao Dong started to talk nonsense, "Or not using a real horse? I think it's too dangerous."
Speaking of this, I have to scold Director Meng for being a bad person.
Shen Zhiyi comforted her, "There is a security consultant here, and the ambulance will come, so even if you are injured, it won't be a big deal."
Xiao Dong was about to cry, "Sister, just being injured is a big deal, okay?"
"It'll be okay."
Shen Zhiyi smiled and tried to comfort her in a different way, "Director Meng is very confident about this scene. He said that it could win an award. Imagine that. Is it any better?"
"Much better," Xiao Dong's eyes sparkled, "I've already seen you go on stage and give your acceptance speech."
But no matter what she thought, Director Meng's decision would not change, and he turned on the camera before dark.
This scene was destined to be shot several times. Shen Zhiyi shot from dusk to dark, and from dark to early morning. The sky was already faintly white.
The most difficult horse riding scene in the first half has been filmed and everything went smoothly. In the second half, several actions were changed and the shooting was adjusted repeatedly. Although it was torturous, fortunately everyone has become accustomed to Director Meng's style and is persevering.
The last one was a group fight scene, where the chasing party dismounted and then engaged in combat. The first few scenes went relatively smoothly, and Director Meng adjusted the movements of several extras.
"This is the last one. Come on, everyone. We'll call it a day after we finish filming."
Everyone took their positions, and as soon as the director gave the order, the extras immediately rode their horses and gave chase. The dismounting movements that they had practiced long ago were smooth and murderous. Shen Zhiyi was holding a specially made prop sword in his hand, which would neither hurt anyone nor look fake and light.
She had already immersed herself in the role and was ready for the battle, but something unexpected happened at this moment - a horse that was supposed to stay still suddenly ran towards her at a very fast speed, leaving the extras far behind. As soon as the horse moved, everyone knew something was wrong, and a horse trainer immediately came to the rescue.
But the horse showed no intention of stopping, so Shen Zhiyi had to move to the side. However, the mountain path was narrow and the stones she was stepping on had already loosened. She slipped and fell backwards, with a two-meter-high fault layer behind her.
Shen Zhiyi fainted immediately after the back of his head hit the ground.
The crew was in complete chaos. It was more than two hours later when Shen Zhiyi woke up. She was still in the tent set up by the crew. The back of her head was aching dully, but luckily she was wearing protective gear, so she was fine except for a few scratches.
Xiao Dong was watching over her. He was relieved to see her wake up. He kept talking, "Sister, are you feeling uncomfortable? The doctor said you have a concussion. Do you want to vomit? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere else?"
Because the mountain road was uneven and Shen Zhiyi's injury was to the head, the doctor did not send her to the hospital immediately after the examination, but waited until she woke up to observe her condition.
Shen Zhiyi was indeed a little uncomfortable, but she could still bear it, "It's okay, where's the horse?"
"You were taken away by the horse trainer. You really scared me. I said I felt particularly bad today."
Shen Zhiyi smiled weakly and asked, "Where is Director Meng?"
The last take was not filmed, I don’t know if Director Meng was angry.
When Xiao Dong was mentioned, he got excited and said, "He's being scolded!"
Get scolded?
Who dares to scold Director Meng?
Meeting Shen Zhiyi's puzzled gaze, Xiao Dong realized that she had something important to say. She stammered, "Well, don't be angry, sister. That person is here."
Shen Zhiyi subconsciously tried to sit up, and felt dizzy again, "Pei Yu?"
Why is Pei Yu here?
"It's like this," Xiao Dong stuffed a pillow for her to lean on, "When you were injured, Qin Xiaoran called and asked you to have dinner with me. I was scared at the time, so I told her about your injury, and then..."
Then Pei Yu came over.
Shen Zhiyi was speechless. It was such a coincidence. But why did Pei Yu come here? There were so many people here...
Xiao Dong said excitedly, "He is scolding Director Meng right now, and Director Meng doesn't dare to say a word. It's so enjoyable, hahaha."
"Don't talk nonsense," Shen Zhiyi said helplessly, "Director Meng is the elder after all, would he scold Director Meng?"
"I can't say it was scolding," Xiao Dong admitted that she was exaggerating a bit, she emphasized, "but it was very fierce, really, Director Meng had such a bad temper that I could only listen. I felt scared just watching from the side."
Pei Yu has a fierce and cold appearance, and has held a high position for a long time. When he gets really angry, his imposing manner is terrifying, which is much more intimidating than swearing.
"Oh, right," Xiao Dong hurried out, "He told me to notify him when you wake up."
"and many more!"
Before he could stop him, Xiao Dong had already run out.
Shen Zhiyi sighed. Whose assistant is this?
She was actually not ready to meet Pei Yu, especially when she was like this.
Shen Zhiyi could endure the dizziness and pain from the abrasions, but she didn't want to show her disheveled and weak self in front of Pei Yu.
Besides, she had no confidence in herself. If Pei Yu appeared at this time, she would become spoiled and would want to rely on him.
