"Phew, you made ...... out of nothing"

Yu Da sprinkled a handful of grape seeds, took a grape flesh in her mouth, and snorted softly: "Poor agitation, I won't be fooled." ”

"Huh. ”

Zhou Mu ignored it and continued to swipe his phone.

Three minutes passed......

The field reporter came over and called, "Teacher Zhou, it's time for you to put on your makeup." ”

"Good. ”

Zhou Mu got up, bypassed Yu Da, and walked towards the dressing room.

Yu Da was a little annoyed, grinding her teeth, and suddenly shouted at his back: "Wait for Xu Lime's company to go bankrupt, see what you do?"

The scene was stunned, and hurriedly lowered his head, when he didn't hear it.

Zhou Mu's body stagnated, and he quickened his pace and entered the dressing room.

His thoughts were spinning, and his heart was counting.

In the evening, call it a day.

After filming all day, everyone was tired and went back to rest.

Zhou Mu did not leave, but stayed and followed Hu Yingshang.

As the protagonist and producer, Hu Yingshang is in the crew and is very busy. Not to mention filming during the day, I have to review the filmed materials with the main creator at night. If there is any problem, you need to pick it out in time and correct it tomorrow.

In addition, we need to make a plan for the next day's shooting.

The most important thing is to deduce and discuss the Armageddon, how to shoot, how to perform, and how to control scheduling......

You must know that the final scene of the movie is about the protagonist group breaking out of the encirclement, regaining control of the army, leading King Qin's troops to attack the imperial city.

Thousands of troops, thousands of arrows.

Ladders, trebuchets, bed crossbows, and wooden bombardment of the city gates.

Blood and fire are intertwined, people collide with each other. The heroic and wonderful scenes of attacking and defending the city are definitely the climax of the movie.

In order to shoot well, the investment in Armageddon will definitely burn 100 million.

Commercial action blockbusters, big scenes, big investment. The cost is big, and it's here. If the audience doesn't see the sincerity of burning money, they will vote with their feet.

The later in the movie, the more the attention of a group of creators is focused on the matter of Armageddon. Almost every night, everyone studied this problem until late at night.

Discover new problems and generate new ideas.

Collide, veto.

Cycle.

Zhou Mu sat quietly next to him and listened to the discussion of the creators. Whoever has an empty cup will help to add tea. Whoever runs out of cigarettes reaches out and hands it over.

Handyman, very dutiful.

Everyone can see that Zhou Mu has something to discuss with Hu Ying.

But no one broke it.

It's late at night......

Hu Yingshang was very irritable, even if he drank the strong tea in the cup, he couldn't hide the tiredness in his eyes, "The suggestions put forward by everyone are very good." ”

"The problem is ......"

He looked left and right and confided in his heart, "How to shoot well, the order of the shots, and how to arrange them, this is the key." ”

The bigger the scene, the easier it is to clutter.

What's more, in the movie screen, the scenes presented to the audience must be filmed wonderfully before they are pleasing to the eye, or passionate and tragic. To put it bluntly, it is the language of the lens, how to mobilize the audience's emotions to the greatest extent.

The simple special effects must be relatively empty, unless you burn a few hundred million more, you can confuse the real with the fake. Otherwise, it will be more or less necessary to cooperate with some real scenes to create a visual blockbuster.

Perfect for audio-visual enjoyment.

It's easier said than done.

Not only Hu Yingshang, but also the director team all felt a lot of pressure.

The movie was not made well, and the audience scolded Hu Yingshang, but they are the behind-the-scenes staff, and their jobs may not be guaranteed.

The people were silent and silent.

Everyone has their own opinion on this issue. These days, he has also made suggestions with Hu Yingshang, but he is not satisfied.

By now, I don't have any good ideas, so it's better not to speak.

Hu Ying agreed, suppressed his irritability, and waved his hand, "That's it for today, everyone disperses." ”

"Good night, big brother. ”

"Rest well. ”

"Don't stay up late......"

A group of people moved their chairs one after another and walked away in twos and threes. Hu Yingshang stayed until the end, drank half a cup of tea, and then looked up and asked, "Ah Mu, is there something?"

Regarding Zhou Mu's actions, he was quite satisfied with it in his eyes.

Enter the crew, film steadfastly, don't cry aggrieved, don't shout tired, and don't cause trouble.

From the director, to the attendance notes, and the dragon set acting group, even if there is no praise, no one says that he is not half of it.

Hu Yingshang likes such actors very much.

That's why I decided to set aside time to see what Zhou Mu was looking for him.

If it's a minor problem, it's solved.

"I also have some thoughts about the filming of Armageddon, I don't know if Brother Hu can spare two minutes to listen to me. ”

As soon as Zhou Mu spoke, he was surprised by Hu Yingshang.

“...... All right. ”

Hu Yingshang wasn't sure if Zhou Mu's original intention of looking for him was to talk about it.

But he was really curious, and he looked like he was listening. Touching the bypass, rushing to the doctor in a hurry, there must be my teacher in the threesome. No matter what the reason, anyway, he also wanted to change his mind, and simply listen to Zhou Mu's opinions.

Zhou Mu stood up and walked to the wall.

On the wall, hung densely packed, more than a hundred pages of paper paintings. It was a sub-shot of Armageddon, complex scenes, all kinds of magnificent scenes, which dazzled him.

Zhou Mu hit the nail on the head and said: "Brother Hu, the most difficult thing for you now should be that you don't know how to choose, right." ”

“...... Right. ”

Hu Yingshang was stunned for a moment, and then admitted with a wry smile, "You see it?"

"That's right. ”

He walked over, looked at the sub-camera on the wall, and was full of emotion: "Ah Mu, maybe you don't know, you may think that this crew has only been established for a few months. In fact, we have been preparing this project for half a year. ”

These things are the hard work of many people, everyone meditated, racked their brains, exhausted their thoughts, and pulled several pounds of hair to have the results in front of them. ”

Hu Yingshang said seriously: "Many people suggested that I shoot all these ideas, and then slowly edit and sort out the context. ”

"But my gut told me I couldn't do that. ”

Hu Yingshang explained the reason, "On the one hand, special effects cost money, and it is a waste to shoot all the special effects that cannot be done. On the other hand, it's the length of the movie. ”

"The big climactic scene of the final ending of a commercial blockbuster can't be too short, let alone lengthy. Shoot all these ideas, and it will definitely be timeout. ”

Hu Yingshang's face was calm: "Twenty years of experience in the industry tells me that if the ending of the movie is too procrastinated, it will be anticlimactic, and it is easy to smash the reputation." ”

Zhou Mu couldn't help but nodded.

He also sighed in his heart that Hu Yingshang had a keen sense of smell.

It is no wonder that people-led projects are always successful, because Hu Yingshang's control of commercial blockbusters accurately grasps the pulse of the audience.

Hu Yingshang said frankly, "If you know, you know, but how to choose, it's difficult for me." ”

"The authorities are obsessed. Zhou Mu smiled, and then considered: "I'm an outsider, maybe I can ......."

Hu Yingshang interrupted: "Don't talk nonsense, you can directly put forward your opinions." ”

"Good. ”

Zhou Muer didn't say a word, and immediately drew more than a dozen pages of sub-shots on the paper painting on the wall according to his impression.

Of course, he didn't take it randomly, while referring to the memories of the war on the earth, he sorted these paper drawings one by one, and then began to explain them in a colorful way.

"Wait......"

Hu Yingshang listened to a few words and interrupted Zhou Mu. He turned on his phone to record, poured a cup of tea and served it, and then motioned, "You continue." ”

Zhou Mu blinked and continued to speak.

As he spoke, he was interrupted again. However, I must also admit that Hu Yingshang's understanding of war dramas is really terrifying.

Zhou Mu admitted that the content he told was based on the movies he had seen on the earth. Hu Yingshang has never seen it, but he can draw inferences.

Ten minutes later, Zhou Mu's mouth was dry and he ran out of words.

He raised his glass, drank a cup of tea, and begged for mercy: "Brother Hu, don't ask, I'm at this level, I don't have any other ideas." ”

"Think again, for example, after breaking the city, enter into street fighting. ”

Hu Yingshang asked, "How should we behave in a narrow encounter, a handover of troops in a short quarter, and that kind of dangerous fighting and fighting?"

“...... The city is broken, the villain feels that the general trend has gone, and he can't break through with the concubine, so he simply sets fire to the city and burns himself, where is there any street fighting. ”

Zhou Mu rolled his eyes suddenly, he felt that Hu Yingshang planned to prostitute himself for nothing.

"Hehe, no?"

Hu Yingshang was not embarrassed at all, "You can add drama." ”

“......”

Zhou Mu pursed his lips and asked coldly: "Brother Hu, who is it that has been deliberately targeting Qinghong culture?"

"Huh?"

Hu Yingshang raised his eyebrows lightly, "It turns out that you are waiting for me here." ”

"Brother Hu, I sincerely ask for advice. ”

Zhou Mu had a serious expression on his face, "I have never been able to figure out which immortal Qinghong culture has offended, so that after being calculated, the other party still does not give up, endlessly." ”

Hu Yingshang was silent.

He was a little embarrassed, hesitated for a while, and then said: "Ah Mu, you are a talent, otherwise, how about signing a contract with my company? I can guarantee that in ten years, you can reach my current height." ”

"Brother Hu, don't make trouble, let's get down to business. Zhou Mu frowned.

The troubles of geniuses always meet those who dig into the corners.

"I'm getting down to business. ”

Hu Yingshang said sincerely: "My body, I know it myself, I can fight for ten years at most, and then I will definitely not be able to fight." ”

"At that time, if my company still wants to open, it will definitely need to be supported. It's not a successor, it's a pillar. ”

Hu Yingshang said frankly: "In recent years, I have also consciously selected a few people to train within the company. But I don't know what the reason is, they can't be popular with the audience, and they can't become popular. ”

"You're different......"

Hu Yingshang smiled: "To put it shamelessly, I saw a little shadow of myself in you." This shows that you have the potential to be a superstar. ”

"As long as you nod your head, I'll take care of the rest. ”

Hu Yingshang said confidently: "Whether it is Yang Hong or Xu Qinglime, they will definitely sell me some face." They won't stop you from leaving, and we can settle the matter peacefully. ”

"Then you train with me for another two or three years. ”

Hu Yingshang said solemnly: "Three years later, I will match you and praise you as the protagonist." ”

"Ahh

Zhou Mu was really shocked and flattered, "Brother Hu, don't ......"

Superstars are matched, and they are no longer lifted, but held to the sky. Hu Yingshang smiled and spit out a few words lightly, "What you said, choose it." ”

This is the truth that Zhou Mu said just now, and now Hu Yingshang has returned it in full. Zhou Mu naturally understood that this was not only Hu Yingshang's reason, but also a warning to him.

The road of life, how to go, what to gain, really need to be trade-offs.

If you want to get something, you have to give it up.

Zhou Mu shook his head lightly, he didn't need to think about it, so he directly refused, "Brother Hu, thank you for your kindness." However, I think the most important thing in being a man is to repay your kindness. The green and red culture has cultivated me not to be ungrateful in difficult times. ”

“...... Stupidity. ”

Hu Yingshang scolded, and then praised, "But it's stupid." ”

He turned around, poured two glasses of wine, handed one to Zhou Mu, and said slowly: "The entertainment industry is a vanity fair, and people's hearts are complicated. Some people keep to themselves, live in peace with poverty, and naturally there are also people who chase fame and fortune and sacrifice everything for glory, including conscience......"

He took a sip of wine, and his deep eyes were a little vicissitudes.

"Twenty years ago, if there was such an opportunity, it was in front of me. I will definitely agree without hesitation, and there will be no entanglement. ”

Hu Yingshang smiled, "In essence, I'm still a vulgar person." ”

"Brother Hu, I ......"

Zhou Mu wanted to explain, but was interrupted.

"Needless to say. ”

Hu Yingshang patted him on the shoulder, "But now I appreciate people with integrity more, so I'm willing to wait for you to change your mind." ”

Zhou Mu's heart moved, "Brother Hu, do you think this level, Qinghong culture can't hold up?"

Hu Yingshang smiled and did not speak.

Zhou Mu frowned, "If it is a giant, Qinghong Culture will definitely avoid its edge, but with the boss, it will not go bankrupt and go out of business." ”

Hu Yingshang shook the wine in the cup and took a sip.

"You, you, don't listen to the wind or rain, everyone in the industry is equal, where is there a giant. A real giant, you haven't seen ......"

He put the cup down and said slowly, "It's late, go back and rest." ”

"There's a big event tomorrow, don't be late. ”

With that, Hu Yingshang left the office and disappeared outside.

Zhou Mu was thoughtful.

He returned to his room and immediately spoke to Xu Qinglime. However, what appeared on the screen was Yang Hong's face.

"How?"

Yang Hong asked directly, "What did Hu Yingshang say?"

He didn't say it, but hinted that maybe it wasn't the industry giants who made a move. Zhou Mu said in a deep voice: "I suspect that the capital predators outside the circle have entered the market." ”

"What do you mean?" Yang Hong was stunned.

Zhou Mu explained, "Maybe it's not the giants that suppress us, but someone who suppresses the company under the guise of the giants, and then lends a helping hand at the critical moment...... Co-opt us. ”

“...... Do you think it's a business war movie?" Yang Hong didn't believe it.

"Don't forget, the results of the investigation we commissioned, many clues point to the mountains and seas, galloping, brilliant, and the high-level ...... of the prosperous era."

Yang Hong scolded, "Several giants are not good things. ”

"If, I mean what if......"

Zhou Mu gave an inference, "Some of the high-level executives of these companies have been bought and are ready to leave at any time?"

"No way. ”

Yang Hong subconsciously vetoed.

Immediately, she lost her mind, "Will the capital predator end up in person......"

Behind the Big Five, there is naturally capital investment. It's just that these capitals are not the existence of a controlling shareholder, but only a small shareholder.

Over the years, there have been rumors in the industry that some large capital companies are interested in engaging in the entertainment industry and laying out the cultural market.

But there are many rumors, but there has been no movement.

Now Zhou Mu reminded Yang Hong to wake up, what if this is true?

For a while, Yang Hong's heart was in turmoil, the entertainment industry was already chaotic enough, and if there was a giant crocodile invasion, I am afraid it would be even more turbid.

"I just have such a hunch, whether it's true or not, and the follow-up. ”

Zhou Mu reminded: "In short, not only movies, but also several projects invested by the company, it is better to keep an eye on them." The company's foundation is weak, and it is easy to break the company's capital chain from these links. ”

"I know ......"

Yang Hong regretted it, she shouldn't have rushed for quick success and spread the stall so big.

She was ruthless, "If it doesn't work, cut the meat and stop the loss in time." ”

It's really reached that point, and I can only cut off my tail to survive.

In this regard, Zhou Mu did not comment well, and said vaguely: "You can discuss it yourself." ”

Not in his position, not in his politics.

This kind of high-level decision, he really can't participate.

At most, Lime asked, and he gave a reference opinion.

Yang Hong's eyes flickered, and she seemed to have made up her mind, and suddenly asked, "When will your scene be filmed?"

Zhou Mu calculated the time, "At least a month." ”

"Okay. ”

Yang Hong said solemnly: "When you come back, Lime will surprise you." ”

"Huh?"

Zhou Mu was stunned.

Honk!

The screen went black.

Zhou Mu was at a loss, what surprise?

The most annoying, half-talking, deliberately whetting people's appetites.

He wanted to turn back, but looked out the window again, a crescent moon, and the sky was like water.

It's late at night, sleep.
