Chapter 130 The upcoming summer festival
The filming was not as smooth as yesterday's shooting. It was close to one o'clock in the afternoon when the crew finished shooting the daytime scene. The plot ended after Katsura Kogoro said the words "The pomegranate blossoms are blooming."
Lunch is a box lunch purchased by the venue staff, with two vegetarian dishes and one meat dish, and everyone has the same combination.
As long as there is no waste, people who have big appetites and are not full can also get more portions, just like Basaka.
After lunch, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.
Shunsuke Kojima found Emiya and said that they wanted to stay here for a while to rehearse, and they would rush over when filming officially started.
"I agree to this. Neither of them has much shooting experience. It's a good thing to practice in advance now." Emiya looked up at the sky and said with a smile: "For the next period of time, you guys stay here until the sun rises."
When it's almost dark, just come back to the filming studio."
"Okay supervisor, I'll tell them right away."
After Shunsuke Kojima received permission, he immediately left the place.
Since the stage director was away, Emiya personally started organizing the crew to pack up equipment and props. In the afternoon, they would go to Kyoto for filming near Arashiyama.
Arashiyama can be said to be the most beautiful place in Kyoto. Scenic spots such as Tenryuji Temple, Seiryoji Temple, and Nonomiya Shrine, which are famous in Japan, are all located in Arashiyama.
In ancient times, this was the burial place of many emperors.
Of course, it was not for these reasons that Emiya remembered Arashiyama.
Since his previous life, he had known about Arashiyama in Kyoto, and he had taken the time to visit it himself.
There were two purposes at that time, one was to travel and the other was to visit holy places.
That’s right, it’s a pilgrimage to the Holy Land.
The first thing that made Emiya aware of Arashiyama was the bamboo forest path there.
That was the place where the teacher from CUHK fought, and it was also the first time Emiya got to know Arashiyama.
But, just one scene cannot make Emiya's memory particularly deep.
When other dramas were added later, the background of the bamboo forest path often appeared. For example, Nakagan Yirunya and Sage Megumi once walked on the bamboo forest path.
From that moment on, Emiya gradually engraved Arashiyama's name in his mind.
There are still quite a lot of tourists coming to Arashiyama in July.
Places like Bamboo Grove, Togetsukyo Bridge, and Sagano Train are often overcrowded.
Emiya and the crew came here for filming, so they naturally had to avoid these crowds.
As you drive further north, you can see with the naked eye that the crowds are gradually getting smaller.
Strangely enough, although there are no famous temple buildings in the mountains and forests ahead, the scenery is actually not inferior to scenic spots such as Tenryuji Temple. It even adds a sense of transcendence because of the sparse population.
However, most tourists seem to prefer to go to crowded places, but they don't want to go to places that are remote but have more beautiful scenery.
I don’t know whether I came here to enjoy the scenery or just to join in the fun.
Around 2:40 p.m.
Nearing the foot of the destination mountain, driving is no longer allowed ahead.
Park your vehicle in the paid parking lot of the scenic spot, and the next nearly kilometer journey will undoubtedly become more difficult.
"Even places like this have colorful lights hung up."
As soon as he got off the bus, Emiya heard a crew member shouting something.
I turned around and looked at the quaint Japanese-style building behind the parking lot. Colorful flags and lanterns were hung in front of the wooden door, and a series of wind chimes were held by bamboo tubes under the eaves. It seemed to be welcoming the arrival of some major celebration.
As for what the festival is, everyone knows it well.
In July in Japan, in Kyoto, apart from the Gion Festival, there is no festival worthy of such grand treatment.
"It's great. I heard that the Gion Festival fireworks display is always beautiful, especially in July..."
"Ahem, stop talking!"
"Why?"
The person walking with him used his eyes to indicate that the speaker should pay attention to the back.
Behind them, Emiya was standing, staring at the colorful flags in front of the door.
Seeing Emiya's 'serious' expression, the two of them shut their mouths decisively.
As people in the film and television industry, once they get busy, they will not be able to hold memorial ceremonies or anything else. They must not be greedy again, otherwise they will make the supervisor angry, and everything will be over.
Compared with some newcomers who dare not speak easily, some "old people" who stayed from the previous crew turned their attention to Emiya, and a strong intuition told them that things were not that simple.
"Summer Festival..."
Emiya muttered to himself.
Unlike what others think, Emiya only gets distracted when thinking about work.
One of the scenes is also during the Summer Festival. If possible, I can use the Gion Festival to shoot one or two empty shots that need to be used.
After coming back to his senses, Emiya couldn't help but laugh when he looked at the quiet scene and the many eyes quietly watching him.
"Don't be so serious. Once you encounter something like a summer festival, you have to enjoy it, right?"
As soon as Emiya finished speaking, the entire crew immediately became excited.
The noise almost overturned the entire parking lot.
The security guard who was stationed in the parking lot and was dozing off suddenly woke up and ran out in a hurry. He was about to scold these people to let them understand what it meant to keep quiet.
A giant about 2.5 meters tall stood in front of the foyer, exuding an extremely fierce aura from head to toe.
The security guard swallowed silently, turned around and quickly retreated into the door.
"Okay, okay, stop making trouble. If you continue to make trouble, let's go to work. After all, you are so full of energy, it would be a pity not to work."
After a second, the scene became quiet again.
But the expression on everyone's face is obviously different from before.
Emiya shook his head and sighed: "Today is only the 13th, so don't get too excited. The grandest memorial event for the Gion Festival is on the 17th, and we can only leave it for one day at most, and we have to continue the next day. Work."
"enough!"
"Yes, we are satisfied if we can enjoy the memorial ceremony one day."
"I really want to get to the 17th as soon as possible."
"Yukata, food, fireworks, supervising competition!!!"
The crew members celebrated quietly.
Although there is only one day off, no one will feel dissatisfied.
The most important day of the Gion Festival is on the 17th. After enjoying the time on that day, some of the small celebrations that follow will be insignificant.
"By the way, there is one more thing I want to say first."
Emiya's words made the scene calm down again.
"Attention to the camera crew, on the night of the Summer Festival, you need to shoot some empty shots related to the festival celebration to create a transition for the plot."
The members of the photography team all breathed a sigh of relief. They would take this kind of photography even if Emiya didn't ask for it. It was not considered a task, so they quickly nodded and agreed.
"Then let's start moving the equipment up the mountain. Everyone needs to take less, and there is no need to carry too much. We have plenty of time now, so we can make two more trips."
Chapter completed!
