After eating, everyone went back to their respective homes, Du Caige found a substitute driver, and on the way back, he kept thinking about a question: he holds 6% of the founding Chinese network shares, but why didn't he get dividends last year?

Of course, it is also possible that the dividends are paid to his other bank cards.

Zhizhen Culture was changed hands by the original owner, but what about the copyright of those comics?

After May Day, I must immediately go to Chen Quan to try to retrieve my memory, maybe I can find the small vault hidden by the original owner, and I don't have to work so hard to carry it, I can only carry 5,000 words a day of salted fish.

After going home, I slept for a while, and took a taxi to Huayu to see Jiang Youxi's song recording.

It's still not ideal, but the progress is clear.

Du Caige taught him for a long time, and when it was time to have dinner, Liu Zifei called and said that he had already found a shooting location.

"So fast?"

Liu Zifei said with a smile on the phone: "Zhang Guodong's kid has relatives who are engaged in real estate, and there are many ways to do this, so he quickly found a place to meet the situation." I took a picture to show me, and I thought it was pretty good. Then I also contacted someone and I can buy a large locust tree that meets your requirements. ”

"Buy?" Du Caige said, "It's too expensive, and the funds are not enough." Can't you rent it?"

Liu Zifei smiled happily: "This ...... Transplant to transplant, I'm afraid it's hard for the big locust tree to survive, and people won't let it. Don't worry, it's enough. ”

"If you buy a big locust tree that meets our requirements, it must be tens of thousands of dollars! ”

"It's okay, but I'm afraid Hanyi won't be able to do this, so I'll ask my classmates right away. When are you going to come and see the field?"

Du Caige thought for a while, "It's tomorrow morning, if it's okay to finish reading, I'll make some other preparations tomorrow, and start filming the day after tomorrow, and strive to finish shooting in one day, after all, there are only so many shots." As for the part in the north, you can take someone to shoot it, I'm quite busy here. When I was done shooting, I took the time to edit. ”

"Yes. ”

The next morning, Du Caige drove and went to pick up Liu Zifei first.

What made him a little strange was that Liu Zifei stayed in a hotel, not her parents' house.

"Why, you quarreled with your parents?" asked Du Caige as he drove to the demolition site.

"yes. Liu Zifei smiled faintly, her expression showing that she was resisting the topic. She didn't say any more, her eyes looked out the window.

Du Caige was a little confused, and felt that he shouldn't ask with his identity.

After a while, Liu Zifei took the initiative to say: "Yesterday I asked my classmates, if the big locust tree is added in post-production to ensure that the effect is realistic, the cheapest company will also charge tens of thousands of yuan." ”

Du Caige couldn't help but turn his head to look at her.

She looked very smart today in dark, dirt-resistant clothes, a baseball cap, and a ponytail.

The image of the whole person is not the same as before.

Maybe when she filmed "Time" by herself before, it was like this?

But that's not enough.

Sitting in the director's chair with the guide tube in hand, you don't have to worry about your gender.

Sitting in that chair is only one identity: the director.

Nothing else matters.

Are you male or female, are you beautiful or not, how much do you weigh, do you have bad breath...... It doesn't matter.

Du Caige has seen many female directors, who may show the feminine side of women on weekdays, but as long as they appear on the set, they will deliberately blur their gender.

After thinking about it, he said: "Otherwise, the big locust tree will not be needed, and when we shoot, we will put a stump there." Finally, I picked up the bell and looked back, there was an ink version of the big locust tree, there was a few seconds of the picture, and then the ink painting unfolded, what do you think of this artistic conception?"

Liu Zifei thought seriously for a while and blinked her eyes: "I feel more like taking a stump than a big locust tree." The big locust tree, like the courtyard house, is a symbol of traditional culture. Since the courtyard is gone, there is no reason for the big locust tree to remain there. ”

"Actually, there are not so many reasons, only one reason: to save money. Since you agreed, shoot like this. ”

When he arrived at the place, Du Cai Gezai took a closer look.

It is very different from the scene in Chen Wouji's version of "The Depths of a Hundred Flowers" in his mind.

But I can shoot it.

Anyway, he didn't want to copy Chen Wuji's.

"Then this is it, it's settled. If you can get the preparation done today, you can start filming tomorrow. Have you found all the actors?"

"I found it, including Mr. Feng's actors, they can come over the day after tomorrow. I will definitely prepare for the preparation today, even if I don't sleep tonight, I will ensure that the filming will start smoothly tomorrow morning. ”

Du Caige looked at her deeply: "Then the filming will start tomorrow." ”

......

"Unit 1 is OK!"

"Unit 2 is OK!"

"Lights OK!"

"Props OK!"

"The actors are in place!"

Du Caige clapped his hands: "Scene 7, one shot, the first time." Field-to-board and begin!"

The small crew immediately fell silent, performed their duties, and operated in an orderly manner.

A half-new van drove in, and before it stopped, actor Ouyang Liyan, who played Mr. Feng, couldn't wait to push open the door and jump down, shouting: "It's here, it's here!"

He quickly closed the door and ran forward with a slightly comical pace, and several actors playing porters got out of the car one after another.

Du Caige frowned slightly, he felt that the actions of these actors getting out of the car were wrong, it wasn't like that, and closing the car door was too gentle.

But he didn't shout "click", let's shoot first.

The camera follows Ouyang Liyan's back.

Ouyang Liyan quickly climbed the earth platform and shouted, "This is the depths of a hundred flowers!"

"Okay, over!" shouted Du Caige.

The whole crew breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, Ouyang Liyan's performance just now was not without flaws, but Du Caige felt that if he wanted to finish filming in one day, he couldn't be too fastidious.

It's not sent to Cannes to compete, it's just to participate in the draft of a second-tier film company, can you use it so well.

It's not that Du Caige's attitude towards art is sloppy.

Rather, we must know when to be more honest and when to turn a blind eye.

People who don't know how to be flexible are very suitable for being the protagonist in film and television works, this kind of person has a very unique charm, persistence, singleness, and purity.

But in real life, it's hard to move an inch.

If Du Caige is now facing a movie that is ready to be released and facing the audience, even if it is only a small investment of 1 million, he will be serious with 5 million, and he must be worthy of the audience's movie ticket and investors.

But now, everyone is playing with tickets to make a short film, in fact, each has its own job, and only one or two days to shoot.

At this time, it would be too impersonal to keep improving and pick out the details, and there is no need to be a tyrant on the set here.

However, in the next filming process, Du Caige still raised his requirements a little.

But Zhang Guodong's acting skills are still a bit immature, and several other extras who play porters have no acting skills at all.

Du Caige can only adjust appropriately, reduce Zhang Guodong's frontal appearance, and give Ouyang Liyan more shots.

In this way, time and costs can be saved as much as possible.

Chen Wou-ki's version of "The Depths of a Hundred Flowers", Mr. Feng Yuanzheng, the actor of the madman Mr. Feng, is a famous old drama bone, who has left a very classic image in film and television works such as "Don't Talk to Strangers" and "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb".

His role as the madman Mr. Feng is naturally very good.

However, his personal image, after makeup, looks a bit infiltrating.

And this Mr. Ouyang Liyan is the teacher of the Magic Shadow Performance Department, and he can be said to be quite handsome, so he has another flavor when he comes to play the crazy Mr. Feng, a sense of abruptness, a sense of contradiction, which is very interesting.

However, after filming for a while, Du Caige found that the main cameraman Feng Hao could not grasp the characteristics played by Ouyang Liyan well, and after clicking twice, he simply kicked Feng Hao away and went to the camera himself.

This Mr. Ouyang Liyan's performance is more inclined to stage performance, which is more exaggerated, and he has very little experience on the big screen.

As I said in my previous introduction, he only ran a few tricks.

But it is precisely this exaggerated stage performance method that Du Caige feels very suitable for playing Mr. Feng.

Mr. Feng is a madman.

Du Caige doesn't need him to play a madman in life, a very realistic madman, or an atypical, very characteristic madman.

and hopes that he will play the image of a madman in the public perception.

Crazy, dancing, coupled with his original handsome appearance, that strong sense of disobedience formed a huge visual conflict, which was really eye-catching.

Du Caige has a feeling that, regardless of anything else, it is just Mr. Feng's performance, and this version he shoots is likely to surpass Chen Wouji's version.

The more Du Caige filmed, the more excited he became, and he didn't even want to stop.

But everyone needs to rest.

At one o'clock, a boxed lunch arrived.

Du Caige casually took a lunch box, squatted aside to eat, and sorted out his thoughts while eating, how to try to finish all the shots that should be taken before dark.

The scene to be filmed in this scene was finally edited for 6 to 6 and a half minutes.

But for this 6-minute or so film, the material required must be several times more.

And Du Caige doesn't want to overlap too much with Chen Wouji's version, although no one in this world will know, he has to pass his own level first.

So it's not easy to shoot.

Ouyang Liyan came to Liu Zifei with a lunch box. "Xiao Liu!"

Liu Zifei was explaining some things to Feng Hao, and when she saw Ouyang Liyan, she immediately stood up straight and said hello: "Teacher Yang, you have worked hard for you today! Thank you so much, your praise is really great!"

"Haha, what is this hard work, I should thank you for such an interesting experience. Let's talk to the side?"

"Okay. ”

After walking a few words to the side, Liu Zifei straightened out the bangs that were a little scattered.
