Chapter 923 Epilogue

Another month has passed before I knew it.

The crew of Forrest Gump in the United States.

Today the entire crew came to the river for filming.

Tan Yue looked around the water with a telescope and said, "Get the lifeboat ready."

"Understood."

Tan Yue put down the telescope and patted Ma Guoliang on the shoulder: "Teacher Ma, go over and swim first, pay attention to safety."

Ma Guoliang nodded and said, "I have learned to swim, there should be no problem."

The next scene to be filmed is that Ma Guoliang jumps directly from the boat and swims to the shore.

He has only learned in the swimming pool and has not swam directly in this kind of river, so he is a little nervous.

But he is also very much looking forward to what he will do next.

Ma Guoliang put on his life jacket first and took a speedboat to the middle of the river.

Because it was his first time, he jumped into the river wearing a life jacket.

Although it looked calm on the surface, this was a river after all, and the water was always flowing. It was Ma Guoliang's first time swimming outdoors. He was a little nervous for a while and actually floated with the water.

The lifeguard on the side was quick and grabbed Ma Guoliang's life jacket.

Ma Guoliang took a deep breath and calmed his heart that was about to jump to his throat.

Tan Yue held the telescope and called the field staff on the boat through the intercom: "Is Teacher Ma okay?"

"The water flow below is a bit fast. Teacher Ma has no experience and was carried away by the water flow."

"Be sure to ensure safety."

The intercom went silent. After swimming in the river for a while under the guidance of professionals, Ma Guoliang gradually adapted to the water flow.

Tan Yue saw Ma Guoliang take off his life jacket and began to guide the setting up of the filming equipment on the shore.

Fortunately, Ma Guoliang's swimming skills are not bad. He quickly adapted to swimming in the river. After a few laps, there was no problem at all.

The lifeguard on the side was on guard, fearing that an accident would happen.

"Is there anything wrong with Teacher Ma?"

"Everything is OK. It's more comfortable to swim in this kind of river. Report to Director Tan and we can start shooting."

The stagehand nodded, picked up the intercom, and said, "Director Tan, there is no problem with Teacher Ma."

"Got it. Let Teacher Ma come up first and go through the process."

At this time, the assistant director came over and said, "Director Tan, everything is ready."

Everyone waited for Ma Guoliang to change his clothes and get on the boat.

The crew borrowed this boat from the surrounding area, and specially asked someone to instruct Ma Guoliang on how to drive it.

"Be sure to pay attention to safety." Tan Yue said on the intercom: "All departments are ready."

In order to avoid accidents, four lifeguards wearing life jackets were arranged under the water at the same time.

Ma Guoliang did the warm-up exercises again and officially started today's shooting.

Tan Yue looked at the monitor and saw that Ma Guoliang was driving the boat. When he turned his head to look at the shore, he looked at another monitor.

Ma Guoliang walked to the side of the boat, and the camera on the side quickly hid, otherwise it would affect the panoramic shooting.

Ma Guoliang laughed loudly, looking a little silly, with his right hand on his waist and his left hand waving to greet the people on the shore.

Seeing the boat sail to the fixed position, Ma Guoliang jumped from the boat, and when he was suspended in the air for less than a second, his waving hand still did not stop.

Tan Yue suddenly became nervous and put the walkie-talkie to his mouth, ready to call for rescuers at any time.

Ma Guoliang drank a mouthful of river water, swam up from the water, and began to swim hard towards the shore.

Tan Yue breathed a sigh of relief and shouted loudly: "Ka."

Ma Guoliang saw the gesture on the shore and stopped.

The speedboat on the side quickly approached, wanting to pull Ma Guoliang onto the boat to rest first.

Ma Guoliang refused, it was very comfortable to stay in the water in this warm weather.

After knowing this, Tan Yue did not say much. He first arranged for the camera that had been prepared on the shore to rush to the location quickly, and checked whether there was any problem with the clip just shot.

Soon, he heard Tan Yue's notification of "this shot passed" through the intercom.

Then he started shooting the second shot.

Ma Guoliang swam to a fixed position, and the camera on the shore found an angle and waited for Tan Yue to shout "start".

There was no figure of Ma Guoliang in the current camera, and it needed a shot of Ma Guoliang swimming from the river.

He swam all the way to the shore, but Ma Guoliang did not come up the first time because his feet slipped.

Ma Guoliang was a little embarrassed, after all, the whole crew was watching.

The same problem did not occur during the second shot.

The sun gradually set, and the day's shooting ended. The crew began to pack up and leave one after another.

It was already past nine o'clock in the evening when Tan Yue returned to the hotel.

The first thing he did was to take a shower to wash away the fatigue of the day.

Tan Yue made himself a cup of tea and sat on the sofa to watch it according to the schedule.

Although there were some problems in the early stage of filming, which slightly affected the progress of filming, now everything is being filmed according to the pre-arranged plan.

Tan Yue picked up a pen and marked today's filming plan, and estimated the filming time. If everything goes well, it will take about two months to finish filming.

As for when this movie can meet the majority of netizens, Tan Yue took a sip of tea, thought about it, and initially put this time in the summer vacation.

Post-editing and publicity will take a lot of time.

Don’t think that “Forrest Gump” is just an inspirational movie. It won 13 awards at the Earth Oscars, one of which was the “Best Visual Effects” award. Many of the shots were completed through special effects, such as: feathers floating in the wind at the beginning of the movie, and comrades who were amputated in the war.

To achieve perfect results, you must pay special attention to these details in the later stage.

The release of “Forrest Gump” during the summer vacation is only a temporary plan, and it depends on the specific progress at that time.

Tan Yue put down the schedule in his hand, looked at the faint stars outside the window, and suddenly missed Chen Ziyu very much.

Since the filming started, Tan Yue has not been back, and there is a time difference between the two places, resulting in less time for phone calls.

Take out the phone and look at the time on it, and dial Chen Ziyu’s number.

As soon as the phone made a ‘beep’ sound, I heard Chen Ziyu’s voice.

“Ayue.”

“Aren’t you busy?” Tan Yue spoke in a gentle voice.

"I just finished this morning's work and was thinking about whether to call you, and then I saw you called first."

The two people smiled at the same time.

"How was the shooting today?"

Tan Yue shared the funny moments encountered during today's shooting with Chen Ziyu, and the two laughed across the phone.

Tan Yue leaned on the bay window and said, "Please check WeChat. I'll take a few photos of the starry sky here for you."

The two talked on the phone for half an hour until Chen Ziyu had work to do and ended the call.

Half a month later.

Beijing, Brilliant Entertainment Company, President's Office.

Chen Ziyu lowered his head to deal with the documents and heard a knock on the door: "Come in."

"Mr. Chen, the new documents sent by the artist management department and the program department need you to take a look."

"Okay, put it on the table first." Chen Ziyu had not finished processing the documents in his hand.

After the secretary put down the documents, he closed the door and left.

Chen Ziyu got up and made himself a cup of coffee to relieve his fatigue. He had not moved since he arrived at the company early in the morning and had been processing documents.

Smelling the coffee made her sober up a lot. She still prefers to drink coffee. She took the cup and went back to the computer to continue working.

Although it was quite tiring during this period, all departments of the company were developing steadily according to the plan that the two discussed and arranged before Tan Yue left. It was very gratifying.

Especially the program department, the online variety show in cooperation with Penguin Video has begun to be broadcast. The effect is very good, which has caused a great response and has directly become the hottest and most popular variety show at the moment. Almost every episode of the show can be seen on Weibo hot search. The ratings are also rising all the way.

Many artists in the company have also gained a lot of traffic and attention.

Chen Ziyu handled the documents in his hands one by one. It was already past ten o'clock when he was done. After asking the secretary to take the documents out, he sat in front of the computer and closed his eyes to rest for a while.

Rubbing his temples, he tried to empty his mind and not think about things.

The documents he handled every day must not be sloppy at all, and there must not be any mistakes.

More than ten minutes later, Chen Ziyu opened his eyes, revealing a bit of fatigue in his eyes.

Although the work of each department had been arranged before Tan Yue left, there were still many documents that needed to be signed and confirmed every day.

After Tan Yue left, these tasks had to be handled by Chen Ziyu.

In addition to the daily documents, there were many activities to attend, and many times he handled the company's documents on the way to the activities.

Chen Ziyu picked up the cup and took a sip of coffee, missing the time when Tan Yue was in the company. With him, he wouldn't be as tired as he is now.

Chen Ziyu didn't realize that he was becoming more and more dependent on Tan Yue.

Before Tan Yue, although the company was not as large as it is now, there were still endless things to deal with every day, and he would be tired at that time, but at that time he was the only one, and he could get through everything.

And now when he is tired, he will think of Tan Yue.

Chen Ziyu patted his forehead, thinking that he couldn't delay Tan Yue's filming.

The company's current prosperity has a lot to do with Tan Yue.

And now he is not by his side, it is for the future development of the company.

He is tired, and he is even more tired. He has been abroad with the company's people for almost half a year.

Chen Ziyu took out his phone and sent a message to Tan Yue: Have you slept?

It is almost 11 o'clock in the afternoon in China, and 11 o'clock in the evening in the United States.

After watching the chat box for a long time without any movement, Chen Ziyu put down his phone and walked to the window.

As long as it is not too late, Tan Yue will usually reply directly. There has been no news for such a long time, which means that Tan Yue has already lain down to rest.

Chen Ziyu will not continue to send messages, which will affect Tan Yue's sleep.

Chatting on the movie forum.

"Are there any good movies to recommend recently?"

"There are no particularly good movies for the time being. After the Spring Festival, the movies released during this period are all works by small directors."

"I went to see a horror movie two days ago. I felt it was pretty good. The name is "Don't Look Back."

"Forget about horror movies. One person does not have the courage to watch this type of movie."

"What kind of movie can be called a good movie? High box office or good reputation?"

"It can meet one of the conditions. Of course, it is best to meet both conditions."

"Just go to the official website of the General Administration of Culture and you can see the box office rankings there."

"There are no high-grossing movies released recently, and the reputation is mixed. There are no particularly outstanding movies."

"I heard that Teacher Tan Yue was filming a new movie before, but there has been no news for such a long time. I wonder how it is going now?"

Someone suddenly mentioned Tan Yue's new movie, and the number of people participating in the discussion on the forum seemed to increase suddenly.

"That's right. During that time, many media were saying that Tan Yue was filming a movie in the United States. Tan Yue and Brilliant Entertainment did not respond to this matter directly, and I don't know whether it is true or false."

"This news is very likely to be true. I have carefully read some media reports and they are well-founded."

"I have been waiting for Teacher Tan Yue's new movie and hope to see it soon."

"With the speed at which Teacher Tan Yue is filming movies, it should be soon. Let's wait for the official announcement."

"I have to say that what I am most looking forward to now is Teacher Tan Yue's movie. I will go to the cinema to watch it as soon as the official announcement is released."

As more and more people joined the discussion, the forum became inexplicably lively. People who didn't know thought that another popular movie was born.

One month later

The crew of "Forrest Gump" in the United States.

"Let's go eat." Tan Yue looked at the filmed clips and found no problems.

The crew started to eat lunch.

Recently everyone started to get excited because they could go home soon.

"It's been so long since I came out, and I'm finally going home! I'm a little excited just thinking about it."

"That's right, I've been out for half a year, and I never thought I'd have the chance to live abroad for such a long time."

"Are you reluctant to leave?"

"Forget it, if it's not for work arrangements, I will never go abroad in the future. I just can't stand the food. If I didn't bring two chefs from China, I would definitely lose a lot of weight."

"How long will it take us to return to China?"

"The specific time is not clear yet. I only know that there are only a few scenes left, and I can go back after filming. The specific time will have to wait until the filming is completed."

"Then speed up the shooting so that you can go home earlier."

"Don't worry, the more you have to stay calm at this time."

"I don't want to be excited, but I haven't been home for a long time, even during the Chinese New Year."

"Hold on, it won't take too long."

I don't feel it at ordinary times, but the closer I get to going home, the more anxious I start to get.
