Chapter 442: Director Hemingway is so steady

After chatting for a while, Wang Dongni was tired again. She said, "Otherwise, you can go back first." ”

"Why? You can sleep if you want, I've brought my laptop, you can code here." ”

Wang Dongni pouted: "I want you to watch TV with me at night." There's the Golden Melody Awards ceremony tonight, and I'd love to see it. ”

Du Caige was a little embarrassed.

He's actually a guy who likes to follow plans and hates being disrupted by them.

But after thinking about it for a while, he nodded and said, "No problem." ”

He quickly packed up his things, said hello to Wang Dongni and her mother, and returned to the crew.

When he arrived at the filming site, he did not immediately take over the command, but watched Liu Zifei take a few shots first.

During the break, he asked Liu Zifei: "Do you want to contact the two group performers?"

"Found it. ”

"Call them over and let them try to take a few shots. "In fact, in this movie, it doesn't matter if you don't shoot them, the key is that Du Caige wants to investigate them.

Liu Zifei walked to the side to make a phone call.

......

Xu Zhaoyang squatted on the ground, dressed in dirty clothes, holding a word book in his hand, and reciting words in his mouth.

Liu Pengfei sat not far from him, holding a new copycat smartphone and watching the Internet with relish.

A phone call came in, an unfamiliar number, interrupting Liu Pengfei's reading.

He frowned, and though he wanted to press it down, maybe someone asked him to play a corpse?

"Hey, hello. ”

"Director Liu, hello, of course I remember!" Liu Pengfei stood up, although no one looked at him, he still straightened his waist unconsciously.

"Now? Nothing now. Okay, no problem. My friend called me too, right? Okay, we'll be right here. Remember the road, of course remember!"

Hanging up the phone, Liu Pengfei was startled as soon as he raised his head.

saw Xu Zhaoyang's ugly face appear less than 10 centimeters away from him, almost blocking the light.

"What are you doing?"

Xu Zhaoyang's eyes shot a strange light, and the muscles on his cheeks trembled: "Is it Hemingway's crew? Director Liu? Did you ask us to film? Are you ready to give us a role?"

Liu Pengfei shook his head: "You think too much, the other party just asked us to go and take a few shots." ”

Xu Zhaoyang still couldn't hide his excitement, "But do you think, if it's just a simple reshoot, why don't you call all the other group performances that day?" Only called the two of us!"

Liu Peng flew to the side and glanced at it? Many of the group performers who had been to Hemingway's crew together that day were waiting for work here, and no one really informed them to pass.

Think of it this way? He also thinks? It seems that the opportunity has appeared.

"Whether it's an opportunity or not, anyway? We have to do what people want us to do. People want us to score 100 points? We did 120 points. Liu Pengfei said seriously.

"Of course?" Xu Zhaoyang's eyes were blazing, "Even if Director Liu only gives me 3 seconds of footage and a line, I will use these 3 seconds to conquer her!"

"Hello?" Liu Pengfei said dissatisfied? "When the crew arrives, don't say such puns. If you think it's funny, but people feel a little uncomfortable, they should have run away from our opportunity. ”

Xu Zhaoyang nodded vigorously: "Nonsense, don't you know who I am? ”

A joyful smile appeared on his face: "Brother? Seize the opportunity and become a real actor!"

"Yes!"

......

Du Caige looked at the two young men in front of him who were nervous and had a flattering smile.

Actually, it's young people? It's not particularly suitable.

Judging by their faces, they should all be over 30 years old.

Not the kind of collagen-filled state.

It has nothing to do with the word "little fresh meat".

But the eyes are good? Maybe it's the kind of actor who "has drama in his eyes".

To achieve "drama in the eyes", isn't it just hard work? Bad congenital conditions? It's hard to express emotions with your eyes.

And judging by the figure? They are in good physical condition and should have regular exercise.

While Du Caige was looking at them, the two extras were also carefully observing the legendary "Hemingway".

Hemingway, as a musician, is naturally famous all over the world.

Except for the kind of people who live deep in the mountains and almost never come to the outside world, who dares to say that they have not heard the songs written by Hemingway?

At least Liu Pengfei and Xu Zhaoyang, who usually don't like to listen to songs, but they are also familiar with Hemingway's classic works.

No way, you can hear it everywhere you go.

Even if you go to a barber booth on the side of the road for 5 yuan a time, people are holding a dilapidated CD player and playing "Listening to the Sea", "Kissing Goodbye" and "Glory Days".

It's hard not to listen to it.

As a writer, Hemingway is also gradually establishing his own brand, and several popular Internet films in a row, coupled with Liu Pengfei's incomprehensible but unclear "The Old Man and the Sea", has made Hemingway one of the most concerned writers in 2008, and it is said that he is also the first in the writer's income list.

However, Hemingway, as a director, is still unknown, only his fans and people in the circle will know a little more.

Before Hemingway quietly started filming "Those Years", there was almost no media coverage.

Later, Hemingway announced the filming at a press conference, and after the promotional film was announced, it did not cause much waves.

There are almost no media outlets that jump out and say, "Hemingway, you're floating, don't write books/songs, what kind of movies are going to make" or anything like that.

A musician/writer who goes to make a movie is actually quite topical.

However, the total investment of "Those Years" was only 3 million.

plus the publicity fund, it is only 3 million.

And at the beginning, it was announced that it would be a short film of about 40 minutes.

Except for the actor Jiang Youxi, he didn't find any famous actors.

So everyone takes it for granted that this is a self-entertaining thing.

Even if he wanted to stir up trouble and attack Hemingway, he would not attack Hemingway through this point.

Because the general public won't buy such a report.

Hemingway is not out of money, what happened to him spending 3 million to make a movie to realize his dream?

How boring are you media to talk about this?

So some media tentatively criticized Hemingway for a few words, and after finding that no one bought it, they died down.

Later, when "Those Years" first landed on major video websites, it was indeed a fan-oriented movie, and almost all the people who bought it initially were fans.

It wasn't until word of mouth spread later that many ordinary netizens and movie-loving people entered the pit, and millions of copies were sold in a month.

In terms of the number of moviegoers, if this is a big movie and it is released in theaters, the box office will now exceed 200 million.

That's kind of impressive.

And professional film critics also spoke highly of "Those Years" and generally recognized Hemingway's directing ability.

It can be said that Hemingway has taken a solid small step on the road to directing.

And soon, when Hemingway announced the shooting plan for "Old Boy", many media were gearing up and preparing to do something - you made a 3 million micro-movie, achieved a little success, and began to float, right, just prepare...... The total investment of 7 million is still a micro-movie, is it a sequel to "Those Years", and there are no big names?

Ah, that's, it's good, I just didn't say anything.

What can be said?

That's a very sound approach.

If Hemingway wants to make a masterpiece with an investment of 50 million, or even hundreds of millions, this time, and invites some big-name stars with a salary of tens of millions, then the media will definitely spray him to autism.

But Hemingway's step was too steady.

The investment of 7 million, even if it is only interested in "Those Years" and wants to watch the sequel, can ensure that the movie will not lose money! It can even be said that it is a reservation profit.

Du Caige's approach makes people can't find fault at all!

So people in the circle all commented on it: Hemingway's foundation is very solid, just watch "Those Years".

Hemingway acted steadily, the first movie was 3 million, and the second movie was 7 million, even if he couldn't make a lot of money, he would definitely not lose.

Hemingway is very self-aware, he will not rashly challenge high difficulties, and he has the bottom of his heart when filming with him.

A "Those Years" made Xu Qingya popular, and several other supporting actors also became famous.

And although Jiang Youxi is said to be participating in the show with a very low salary, the number of fans who have increased because of the performance of this drama makes him definitely not lose.

Therefore, when the group performers chat, many people said: I really hope that my horse is favored by Hemingway, and I can cooperate with Hemingway a few times.

Liu Pengfei and Xu Zhaoyang naturally had this kind of dream.

After staring at each other for a while, Du Caige spoke: "This time, please come over, there are a few shots that need to be retaken by you." ”

Xu Zhaoyang said with a flattering smile: "We know, Director Liu said it very clearly. We will try to do our best! If there are other shots that need to be shot by us, we will also put our best foot forward!

Du Caige nodded slowly, in fact, when he was accompanying Wang Dongni in the past two days, he pondered some small side plots, which can be filmed to see the effect.

As for whether it will be used in the end, that's two words.

"That's it," Du Caige bowed slightly, "Let's make up the shot first." After shooting, let's shoot another set of shots or two. As for the money......"

Before Du Caige finished speaking, Liu Pengfei had already spoken first: "What money, money, money is not money, director you, you give us a chance, so much, more, the staff cooperate with us, that is your appreciation and appreciation of us." We will definitely work hard to shoot well, shoot well, and live up to your appreciation and appreciation. Shoot first, shoot well, you feel full, satisfied, let's talk about money. ”

He didn't know Hemingway's real name, and felt that calling "Director Hai" was particularly ugly, so he simply called "director".

Xu Zhaoyang pinched a cold sweat on the side. Why did you make this stuttering problem at this critical time?
