Chapter 281: Discussing the script in a hotel room late at night
Xu Qingya stuck out her tongue: "More than 100,000 or 200,000? I have to write so many words? I have figured out Wen Xinran, but I haven't thought about it so much, and I haven't written a small biography of the characters." ”
Du Caige smiled: "It's not that you have to write, it's just that this will give you a deeper understanding of the characters." If you want to understand a character, you have to put him in the context of the times and the family background. But what if I don't have a family background in the script? Then you have to think of a logical one for yourself. ”
Xu Qingya and Guo Lingjie kept nodding their heads, while Du Caige was talking and talking......
Liu Zifei stopped outside the door, listened to the laughter in the room for a while, sighed quietly, and turned to leave.
......
It's a joy to tell two cute girls.
After all, everyone has a good side to be a teacher.
Although Du Caige didn't think about soaking these two girls, the instinct of male creatures still made him like to show off in front of the opposite sex.
Especially selling what you do best.
It's rooted in the subconscious.
Before I knew it, it was almost one o'clock in the morning.
The two girls' eyes lost focus a little, and they began to hide their yawns.
Du Caige let them go.
"That's it, if you still don't understand, come back to me next time. ”
When he brought them to the door, he told them, "Come with them if you want to come, and don't come alone." The crew is a complicated place, for your own sake, don't do something that is easy to misunderstand, protect yourself. ”
"Got it, uncle. Xu Qingya said with a smile.
got it, and was demoted from "Director Du" to "uncle" again.
The next two days of filming went well.
It's not that there is no situation, but with Du Caige's experience, he can easily resolve a small situation.
When the actor encounters a bottleneck and continues to NG, or the staff makes continuous mistakes, the wrong lighting, the makeup does not meet the requirements, and the props have problems...... He will become a tyrant on the set, harshly and coldly criticized, which makes people feel terrified.
But after criticism, he will also patiently teach the other party how to improve.
And if he doesn't change his teachings repeatedly, he will be ruthless, no matter who is behind the other party, it is useless for anyone to intercede, and he will quit the crew directly.
Even if it was an important position, Du Caige did not relent, he opened the person here, and immediately asked Chu Jixiang to find someone else to replace him.
Grace and grace completely calmed the crew.
In the afternoon of the next day, Chu Jixiang was about to leave.
When he came to say goodbye to Du Caige, he said: "Originally, I was worried that you would be in trouble when you became a director for the first time, so come over and see if there is anything you can do to help." But as soon as the connoisseur makes a move, he will know if there is one. ”
"I'm obviously redundant here, so it's better to go back to the company and quarrel with Xiaoduan a few more times. ”
Du Caige said helplessly: "You take it easy, don't make Xiaochen angry." ”
"Being angry appropriately helps keep her alive. Chu Jixiang said with a smile.
He looked relaxed in front of Du Caige.
Although they hadn't interacted with each other before the company was founded, and they rarely talked to each other now, they had a tacit understanding.
Chu Jixiang is Sun Yaling's representative, and to put it bluntly, Sun Yaling is also Yan Yingzhen's representative.
And even if he didn't know the relationship between Du Caige and Yan Yingzhen, he must have some vague guesses.
Therefore, he maintains respect for Du Caige, and he has a chance to scare Duan Xiaochen.
He knew very well that he represented Yan Yingzhen's will.
It's not that he and Duan Xiaochen have a personal grudge, but that Yan Yingzhen and Duan Xiaochen have a personal grudge, and he just executes it on behalf of Yan Yingzhen.
Du Caige shrugged, "I believe you will know how to be proportionate, and you will not oppose for the sake of opposition." ”
"Of course, I'm not a woman. Chu Jixiang's implication was that Duan Xiaochen was the one who opposed for the sake of opposition.
Du Caige is also very clear about this. He shook his head: "Meng Zhaolong's film can be considered for approval, we can invest in this project ourselves, and we can afford an investment of less than 10 million." ”
Chu Jixiang bowed his head in agreement.
"Shu Yihuan's movie has to bring in Jiutian, Zitian and Donglai. It's a sure-fire project, and we have to let them drink soup when we eat meat. For an investment of 150 million, we will invest 50 million to 80 million, and let them negotiate the rest of the share. ”
Chu Jixiang smiled: "Rouzhi investment should also be followed." ”
"Then let Sun Yaling fight with them. Anyway, we will invest at least 50 million in Dream Entertainment. ”
"No problem, I'll report it. This project is really profitable, and Shu Yihuan has never missed it over the years. In the first half of this year, his "Three Heroes of Jinmen" claimed to have invested 170 million, but the sponsorship and product placement advertisements returned to half of the cost, and the actual investment was less than 90 million. There is a lot of expenditure on publicity, it is said that it is 60 million, so the actual expenditure is 150 million plus publicity. ”
"Then the domestic box office was 1.6 billion, and the global box office got 2.8 billion, making a lot of money, and the return on investment was too high. ”
"It's also that our company hasn't been listed yet, if we are a listed company, just the news that he is willing to make a movie for us can make our stock price soar. ”
Du Caige said: "I don't value this. What I value is that he's one of the best directors in the industry, and I think he brings the best production team. And it's easy to talk about the schedule when the movie is released. ”
Chu Jixiang raised his eyebrows: "That's it, I understand." ”
"When the investment share is negotiated, I have to trouble you to solicit advertising sponsorship. Du Caige said.
"That's fine, I'm going to take a trip. With Shu Yihuan's golden signboard, it must be easy to talk about. ”
After exchanging opinions, Chu Jixiang temporarily left the crew.
Du Caige continued to direct the shooting.
In the evening, Xu Qingya and Guo Lingjie came to his room again to invite him to talk, although Du Caige was a little disgusted that they delayed his own transportation of "Romance of the Dragon and Snake", but Xu Qingya had the relationship with Mrs. Sun, and she couldn't say anything if she refused.
And once they started to instruct them, their attitude was serious, their comprehension ability was very high, and they learned quickly, Du Caige couldn't help but feel "really fragrant".
Especially Xu Qingya, it is simply an inference.
Du Caige asked her to perform on the spot, and she didn't squirm.
soon entered the state, and the performance seemed to be similar, which made Du Caige admire.
In this world, there are indeed some people who are eaten by God.
On the third night, Du Caige carried "Romance of the Dragon and Snake" for a while and met Kavin.
He didn't want to copy that paragraph, but he didn't think about how to change it for a while.
He was irritated for a while, and simply got up and walked.
This small hotel has 10 floors, and the middle 4 floors are all covered by their crew.
Du Caige paced back and forth in the corridor for a while, but he still couldn't think clearly, and walked to the top of the building.
There is a small rooftop on the side of the top floor, where Du Caige will blow the wind when he has dinner in the afternoon.
However, as soon as he stepped on the top floor, Du Caige heard a babbling sound.
When I listened closely, someone was singing.
"Parrot Island, Phoenix Que, outside the smoke waves, sorrow and hatred. Look at the high place double pill destroying the day and night......"
That voice, Du Caige didn't know how to describe it for a while, but he felt crispy to the bones.
The graceful female voice hung up, and his heart was lifted up by an invisible hand.
It wasn't until he finished singing a sentence that his heart fell back.
But for no reason, there was a sense of melancholy, and my heart was empty.
The drama is all in it.
This should be Xu Qingya.
Du Caige felt that her singing voice was not inferior to the Kunqu opera masters he had heard in his previous life.
can be favored by He Lao, the first person in Kunqu Danjiao, if she doesn't have this kung fu, it will be strange.
If she doesn't ask her to make a movie, she can become a famous Da Tsing Yi in a few years and become famous in the field of Kunqu Opera!
After a pause, he heard Xu Qingya sing: "The cuckoo is red all over the green mountains, the smoke outside the tulip is drunk and soft, and the peony is good, how can he take the lead in the spring return? ”
Du Caige squinted, standing on the steps connecting the corridor and the platform, feeling the evening breeze blowing from the platform, listening to the faint singing brought by the summer night wind.
It seems that people are in a fairyland, and they can ride the wind at any time and think about it.
It's just that after singing this paragraph, Xu Qingya stopped singing.
Du Caige waited for a while, and when he saw that she didn't speak again, he walked up the stairs and walked to the platform.
During the day, a lot of sheets and laundry are dried on this platform.
By this time it had all been retracted, and only some ropes were left to hang.
Du Caige bypassed the rope and walked towards the slender figure in a knee-length floral dress.
When he arrived in front of him, he found that Xu Qingya was facing him sideways, squeezing her eyebrows, as if she was simulating various expressions.
Very focused, didn't notice him approaching.
After taking a closer look, Du Caige confirmed that Xu Qingya was indeed trying all kinds of exaggerated expressions.
He looked at it with interest for a moment, and coughed lightly to remind the other party that he was coming.
Xu Qingya was like a frightened rabbit, her shoulders trembled, but after turning her head to see that it was Du Caige, she smiled a little coquettishly: "Uncle, do you know that you will be scared to death?"
"I didn't mean to scare you. ”
"You don't make a sound when you walk! Are you a cat?"
"It's not that I can't make a sound when I walk, it's that you're too focused. Du Caige said.
Xu Qingya wrinkled her nose, "It's my fault." ”
"No, that's what I appreciate about you the most. Many people think that hard work can lead to success, but in fact, it is not that it is concentration that can succeed. Du Caige took a few more steps towards her and stopped half a meter away from her.
If you get closer, it's too ambiguous, half a meter is just right, and it's a suitable social range.
It's not distant, it's not too intimate.
Half a meter away, I could clearly smell the scent of shower gel on her body and the scent of lavender on her clothes.
Mixed together, it smells good.
Du Caige didn't look at her face carefully, it was too rude.
He looked into the distance and said, "Not only are you God's bread, but you are so focused. If you don't succeed, you won't be justified. Not only singing, but also talented in acting. You can try to develop both sides in parallel. ”
After a pause, he added, "No, it's a trilateral development. And singing. Your voice can sing pop songs. ”
Xu Qingya lowered her head, as if she was a little confused.
After a while, he said: "Uncle, even if you praise me, I won't take it seriously." You're just the elders encouraging the juniors!"
Then he smiled mischievously: "If I go to sing pop songs, my master will beat my ass and swell." ”
