"Okay, got it, I'll tell my officer friend about this. Mr. Chen Quan, thank you. So, let's talk about it in detail next time I go over. After hanging up the phone, Du Caige looked at the time and clapped his hands vigorously, "Everyone, get ready to start!"

"It's nothing, right?" Liu Zifei was a little worried. Du Caige's expression changed when she answered the phone just now, and she saw it in her eyes.

Du Caige gave her a relieved smile: "It's not a big deal. ”

After a pause, he said, "Right now, this is the big thing." Seriously, when filming "Those Years", did you ever think that the micro-film we made could get more than 20 million online box office?"

Liu Zifei smiled very proudly: "That's definitely not what I thought." ”

Yes, it has been a month since Du's version of "Those Years" landed on major video platforms.

Its online box office was not favored at first, but it soon sparked heated discussions, and then became amazing, not only major entertainment media, but also mainstream media rushed to report on it.

When the box office of "Those Years" exceeded 14 million, surpassing last year's best-selling micro-film, everyone began to expect "Those Years" to reach a new high.

And "Those Years" did not live up to expectations, and now the rate of growth has slowed down, but this number has still been firmly rising, and it will be refreshed every day.

20.84 million yuan, this is the answer sheet handed over by "Those Years" so far.

This figure is still being rewritten every day.

Countless people are staring at this number.

Because, this represents a new box office record for Dahuaguo online movies.

Records exist and are broken.

And people have always been psychologically prepared, with the growth of social wealth, people's disposable income increases, with the acceleration of network bandwidth, with the production of online movies more and more sophisticated......

The box office of online movies is bound to rise.

But what everyone didn't expect was that "Those Years" raised the box office record by 5 million yuan in one fell swoop (the previous box office record was 15.5 million yuan).

This is a situation that no one could have predicted at the beginning of the launch of "Those Years".

Although the production budget of "Those Years" can be ranked in the top 5 in the history of online movies.

The cost of 3 million yuan is beyond the reach of most online movies.

And there is also a quasi-first-line big-name star like Jiang Youxi to join.

But there are also many disadvantages to "Those Years".

The most crucial of these is that Hemingway is just a rookie director.

However, "Those Years" is so unscientific, it has rushed to the position of the total box office champion of online movies, and it is still pushing this record to a higher place in one go.

Not only did the box office break records, but the reputation of "Those Years" has also been very good. The ratings on major video websites are all above 8 points.

In the more stringent and authoritative "Blue Star Douban", "Movie Time Network" gave Du Ban "Those Years" a score of 7.4 points.

As a comparison, the score of Shu Yihuan's director "Three Heroes of Jinmen", which has swept more than 2.8 billion box office worldwide, is 6.9 points.

This "Those Years" was able to achieve such results, and Du Caige was naturally impressed in the film circle with the name of "Hemingway", which left a deep impression on people.

And to be able to assist Du Caige in making this movie, assistant director Liu Zifei also made his name successfully remembered by some people.

In fact, someone has already sent her an invitation to be an assistant director.

It's just that Liu Zifei is worried about Du Caige's promise - she will cooperate with Du Caige to make a micro-movie, and then Du Caige will write a script for her, invest in her, and let her direct independently.

Of course, it is impossible for her to start filming a big movie immediately, and it is likely to be a micro-movie or a TV series.

"Be sharp, move, don't waste time!" Liu Zifei, who was full of motivation, roared at the top of her voice.

Now that she is becoming more and more like a director, the original temperament of workplace beauty and small jasper is gone.

And her unrealistic emotions for Du Caige have also been blown away a lot.

But Liu Zifei has no regrets.

That's exactly what she's always wanted to do.

......

"144th, 2 shots, 2nd. ”

"Scene note, Action!" Liu Zifei commanded in a crisp voice.

After shouting, she stared at the big monitor.

Because the crew of "Old Boy" has more funds, Du Caige transferred 4 cameras from the company, of course, most of the time he shoots with 3 cameras.

At this time, in addition to Liu Zifei, there were three camera surveillance, two gaffers and a focus monitor looking at the monitors in front of them at the same time.

The movie with an investment of 7 million Chinese dollars is equivalent to an investment of about 20 million soft girl coins on the earth, which is already a medium-sized investment.

So this time, Du Caige once again expanded the scale of the crew.

In the shot, it is a small restaurant, compact, very small in size, with only a few tables, but it is very clean.

At this time, there were only two tables for people to eat.

The camera advances along the slide to the back kitchen.

Zou Guoyong was sweating and waving a spatula like rain, and the flames of the gas stove swayed, heating the nearby air until it twisted.

The camera gave Zou Guoyong a close-up.

Although this close-up may not be used in the later stage, and it is likely to be cut, it will definitely have to be there.

Under the camera, Zou Guoyong's expressions and movements are very natural.

He kept in mind Du Caige's admonition: what you usually do, do it now, and forget that you are acting.

For him, wielding a spatula is a daily routine, and there is no need to use his brain at all.

So at this time, he skillfully stir-fries and stir-fries, just like he usually does in his own shop.

“Cut！”

Liu Zifei shouted to stop, watched the shot just now, and said loudly: "It's over." Shoot the next shot right away, camera 2, camera 3, and get ready. ”

"Scene 144, 3 shots, first time. Action！”

The screen of Unit 2 appears on the monitor.

In the shot, Du Caige appeared and stopped at the door of the hotel.

He wears very old-fashioned khaki trousers and dark blue turtleneck wool, although they are all authentic big-name products, but they don't suit him.

The makeup is also specially made ugly, making him look haggard and tired, and at first glance he looks like a middle-aged man with good economic conditions, but his life is not very satisfactory.

His expression was a little hesitant, he looked at the sign of the small shop, and then looked into the back kitchen.

The chubby proprietress with the menu walked over quickly, and first habitually spoke enthusiastically: "How many may I ask?" Come in and sit down, and take your time." ”

Du Caige shrank uneasily.

The proprietress stared at her for a moment, and asked tentatively, "Are you ...... Lin River?"

Du Caige hesitated and nodded twice. "Sister-in-law, long time no see. ”

The proprietress smiled, her enthusiasm disappeared, and she just smiled politely and said, "Come to find Guoyong?"

"Well, I'm looking for Yuko. Du Caige lowered his head, not daring to look at the proprietress and said softly.

"He's in the kitchen. You sit down and drink a glass of water, and when he cooks the food, I'll ask him to come and talk to you. ”

Du Caige followed the proprietress into the hotel, sat down crampedly, looked at the table with some uneasiness, as if to see if there were any oil stains, and moved the chair, as if the chair made him uncomfortable.

“Cut！”

After Liu Zifei finished shouting, she watched the content she had just filmed again.

Du Caige also walked over, his head came together with her, and he looked at it carefully.

"I think it's okay," Liu Zifei raised her head and smiled, "Director Du, your acting skills are very good!"

Du Caige smacked his lips, thought about it, and didn't speak.

Xu Qingya, who was watching and studying next to her, said: "Uncle, your acting skills are too scary. You're a director, not an actor! You know it's a foul!"

Du Caige was still looking at the picture, and he didn't raise his head: "What's so strange that the director can act." If you don't know how to act, how can you tell the actors?"

Having said that, in fact, the entire crew was a little shocked by his acting skills.

It's not that he has actor-level acting skills, it's just that people didn't expect it.

You can write books, you can write songs, you can draw comics, you can be a director, and now you can act on your own stage? What else can't you do?

"You say good, what's so good?" Du Caige wanted to instruct Xu Qingya to teach on the spot.

Xu Qingya bit her lip and thought about it, then replayed the video again, pointing with her finger, "Here, here, and here." There is also this paragraph, you walk here and sit down, that demeanor, this paragraph is absolutely amazing. That's how Lin He should be, well, that's how I feel. ”

"You still haven't figured out what's so good. Du Caige is stimulating her to think independently.

Xu Qingya's beautiful eyebrows twisted, "I can't say it well." I feel that you are very familiar with Lin He's character and know him very well. At that moment, you are Lin He. But you're not an experiential school, and this part of the performance just now should be a method school. ”

"That's right, it can be regarded as a method school," Du Caige smiled, "You go back and think about it." ”

"Eh, uncle, when will I have this level of acting skills? ”

Du Caige encouraged her: "Your talent is better than mine, in fact, you have acted very well now." The point is that you don't have enough life experience right now, so you don't understand how people react in specific situations. These need to be accumulated, and the details of life need to be carefully observed. ”

Xu Qingya fell into thought.

Du Caige looked at the content just now, and finally nodded: "Okay, this is over." Go on!"

When he put himself into acting again, several actors were seriously figuring it out.

Especially several actors from Dream Chase Entertainment, including Liu Yuxi, including the two little fresh meat recently signed by the company, all cheered up.

Most of them are not very well educated, but it does not mean that they are stupid.

The company's big boss personally went into battle to act, you must have to watch and learn well, and be able to say one, two, three.

If the boss is in high spirits at that time, I want to talk to you about the performance.

Then they call you by name and ask you to talk about your opinion, but you can't say anything, and that's the end of it.
