Chapter 722 Ancient Well 06

That evening, when the crew headed for the remote mountainous area that took ten hours to drive there, Tao Ran had already taken Shanshan on a plane to go ahead.

The specific situation had to be analyzed in detail. Although the idea had been made, there was a lack of details, so she was going to check out the details first.

When they arrived at a nearby town, Tao Ran sent Xiaodong his location and agreed on a time and place for the meeting tomorrow morning.

She went to pick up the rental car booked in Shanshan's name, got a room for Shanshan to settle down in the hotel opposite the small town police station, and then went out.

She lied to Shanshan that she was going to discuss some matters with the security personnel and private investigators she had arranged long ago, but in fact she drove straight to the legendary mountain village.

She arrived at the small county town at eight o'clock and parked the car in a large village at nine o'clock. Then she went to the small mountain village that required walking over the mountains to reach it.

Wearing a long black coat and trousers, a black hat and black gloves, she was fully armed and soon disappeared into the dark night.

With the navigation in hand, it didn't take long for her to find the place.

How else can we say that this place is remote and isolated?

In the navigation, this place just has a simple name, nothing more. The village is very poor and is a poverty-stricken area supported by local people. The infrastructure still looks like it was in the 1990s, so naturally there is no monitoring.

Tao Ran walked around twice and thoroughly understood the terrain of the entire village.

She also found the Zhang family, No. 4 of Group 2.

With a clean jump over the wall, Tao Ran entered the hospital.

She moved so lightly that she didn't even wake up any chickens.

There is indeed a well outside the dilapidated adobe house.

But the manhole cover has been sealed.

What’s funny is that the manhole cover also has the word “福” on it.

Haha, what a blessing!

Tao Ran opened the manhole cover gently, wanting to see if there was anything else down there, but when he shined his flashlight, he found that the manhole was clean and there wasn't even a straw.

I think I had already cleaned up before coming here in order to avoid police inspection...

Tao Ran also went to the back hill that Shanshan mentioned.

In Shanshan's memories, the child said that the woman was hanging in the back mountain. But in Shanshan's dream, the woman was pushed down the mountain.

So, what exactly?

Looking at the dense forest, Tao Ran was actually more inclined to the latter possibility:

When they heard that the police were coming, the Zhang family members were eager to hide the woman. Their first reaction was to hide in the back of the mountain. The woman was disobedient. While they were beating and scolding her, they intentionally or unintentionally pushed her down the mountain.

But if you want to see the body, if you want to redress the injustice, you need not only evidence, but also the victim!

Tao Ran showed off his Qinggong skills and jumped off the low back mountain cliff...

The location where she went down was the shortest distance from the Zhang family and the most likely place where the crime occurred. If a woman fell down the mountain from here, there would always be some clues left, right?

With a chill all over his body, Tao Ran could feel this strong and familiar resentment...

After leaving the village, Tao Ran walked around the nearby hills and selected a suitable area...

Soon after returning to the small town, it was daybreak.

After taking Shanshan to have a comfortable breakfast, Tao Ran asked Shanshan to come forward and book eighteen rooms in the hotel so that they could move in once the crew arrived.

Of course, what we are asking for is the team price. After cutting for a long time, I saved five hundred. Tao Ran was very pleased.

Soon, the staff arrived.

While on the road, Xiaodong had signed a confidentiality agreement with everyone, so their "crew" that was about to start work would not be known to outsiders, let alone attract media and fans.

Following Tao Ran's signal, everyone kept a low profile. Once anyone asks, they always reply that they are a passing tour group.

Everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

During lunch, Tao Ran chatted with the director.

She didn't know the director, but Xiaodong had already sent her the information. After chatting for a few words, it was clear that this was a pragmatic person who didn't talk much and didn't look too far. Tao Ran was very satisfied.

She gave the director the script she had just spent half a day designing and printing. The director nodded, indicating that he would complete the task. Xiaodong was also given a new title by Tao Ran, "chief planner and producer."

After dinner, Tao Ran took the director and Xiaodong in a luxury nanny car and headed for the destination.

They went to a mountainous area that Tao Ran had been eyeing last night. It was less than a kilometer away from the target mountain village.

The winding hills have just been dyed with fresh green. On the mountainside and at the foot of the mountain, there are whole patches of tender butter vegetables that are about to open slightly. Looking around, it is a thriving and vibrant place with countless comforts.

With such a background color, it will naturally look good no matter how you shoot it.

"What do you think?" Tao Ran asked the other two people, but in reality, Tao Ran and Xiaodong were looking at the director, waiting for him to express his stance.

"Very good. What's more beautiful than the natural scenery of the motherland? I'm very satisfied." The director compared the frame with Tao Ran's hand, "The distance and close shots are all beautiful, no matter how you shoot, it's amazing."

He said that work would start on time here tomorrow morning. He humbly asked Tao Ran if he wanted to focus on mountain scenery or rape fields? Do you want to make documentaries, feature films, short commercials, or short videos?

"Seven to ten days, shoot slowly and use your imagination." Tao Ran smiled.

The script she gave to the director was actually the script she wanted the director to perform with her. It was the instructions she asked the director to say, what to do, and how to plan, not the script that their fake crew wanted to film.

Well, so Tao Ran didn't bother to think about this drama within a drama.

"You are free to shoot whatever you want and how you want to shoot it. I will fully cooperate with you. Even if you just treat it as a MV or a pictorial. I will not interfere in any way.

I don’t care how much material you can shoot, how many lenses you can use, or how you want to edit it in the future. The crew is here, all the crew members are at your disposal, and you only need to provide all logistics and needs. I only care about one thing, which is to add all of what I ask for to your work! "

This is a new director, signed by Taoran Company, and he is half of his own. For newcomers, what they lack is an opportunity. He has an introverted and calm personality and never talks much. Sister Chen knew Tao Ran's requirements, so she chose him.

And he also knew that following Tao Ran was his best chance to make a name for himself. He originally didn't have any hopes for the content of the shoot. He just thought that after serving a top celebrity this time, the company would give him a piece of the pie in the future because of his well-behaved and obedient nature.

But now Tao Ran's intention is very clear. He will support his filming, and it will be a real filming! The entire crew will really listen to his orders! God knows, this is what a person who is waiting for opportunity really needs!

And he can make all the decisions from content to subject matter? Ha, this is helping him realize his dream in advance!

At this moment, he immediately understood why most of the vehicle crew members had worked with Tao Ran before, why they were so happy, and why they were willing to put down their work before they knew their salary to participate in a strange shooting that required a confidentiality agreement. Here...

My physical condition has not been very good these two days, so the update time will be a little late, sorry~
