Chapter 30: Schrödinger's Teacup
Look at the poster again, it is Yu Min dressed in camouflage uniform, holding a short knife in his right hand, and holding a four- or five-year-old boy Miao Miao in his left hand, the overall background is still on the roof of the building, well, it is the aroma of malt - no, it is the smell of bad movies.
"Except for Sister Yu's camouflage uniform, which is really temperamental, the others are really not attractive. According to the memory in the original brain, director Niu Zhou is a famous director in Xiangjiang, who has won many awards before, but none of the movies shot in the past two years have a score of more than five points, and the key is that the box office has also lost money again and again, and there are still several companies willing to invest.
Chu Shun found out that the behind-the-scenes lineup of "Cheetah Killing" is still very good, Wu Zhi is Liu Shanhong, and the actor who plays the villain is also an action actor of Liu Jiaban, it is estimated that Yu Min is taking the film for the lineup behind the scenes.
The facts are indeed as Chu Shun thought, Yu Min recognized Liu Shanhong's name to receive the film, and the camera temporarily shifted to the crew.
"Xiao Min came to take medicine. Sister Qian handed Yu Min a piece of Gankang and a glass of water, now is really the packaging era, even the drug packaging is getting better and better, this Gankang's medicinal clothes are made into a medal-like, and you can also stick to the body one by one, and you want to eat two more pieces for the appearance, dog head.
"It's just a little cold, and I'm sweating, and it's almost better. Yu Min combed his ponytail, and two strands of hair ran out of the hair ring disobediently, soaked with sweat, and stuck to his forehead.
There is a way to distinguish between small beauties and big beauties, in the case of sweaty hairstyles all out of order, the appearance state can still be beaten, that is the latter, on the contrary, the appearance has decreased is the former.
Yu Min's appearance is definitely at the level of a big beauty, even if she is drenched in sweat, there is still a drop on her cheeks, and her long eyelashes are stained with beads of sweat, which are a little crystal under the reflection. Like a valley that has been rained overnight, after the shower, although the valley does not have the open and bright beauty of the sunny sky, the flowers and plants that can't bear the raindrops and bend slightly are another quiet beauty.
"I'm going to shoot a scene in the rain for a while, but I still took the medicine. Sister Qian was unmoved, she knew that this was Xiao Min's excuse for not taking medicine.
"Okay, no problem. Yu Min peeled off the medicine, and his mouth grew big, as if he wanted to put the medicine directly down his throat, and finally swallowed it with saliva, for people with small throats, it was too painful to take medicine.
"Show me, have you taken the medicine? "Sister Qian will open her mouth like this, which obviously means that someone has a criminal record.
"Eat it. Yu Min opened her mouth, her tongue also turned up and down, there were indeed no pills left in her mouth, and Sister Qian breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this.
Sister Qian said: "Director Chu called just now, and there was a celebration banquet in the capital on the 7th. ”
Yu Min calculated the time, and when the time came, he should still be filming in China, and said, "Ask Director Niu for a leave of absence in advance." ”
"Some time ago, after knowing that it was the Neta University that killed Bill, it made me angry. Sister Qian said: "I still want to call and talk to Director Chu, but I didn't expect the Internet University to become so popular, the director industry really can't be seen by age, and I am fortunate not to have a bad relationship with Director Chu." ”
"Director Chu has a feeling of building blocks when filming. Yu Min said.
Sister Qian looked at Yu Min suspiciously.
Yu Min said: "Everyone in the crew is a tool person, step by step in order to create the effect he wants." ”
"It seems like it's true, all the soundtrack, costume design, and editing, all of which are done by one person. Sister Qian thought about it and felt that it made sense.
The scene reporter came to inform Yu Min that the next scene began.
"Okay, trouble. When Yu Min got up, she took advantage of the agent's inattention, wrapped the pills in a paper towel and threw them in the trash, yes, she just used her extremely fast hand speed to hide the medicine. There are two reasons for this, first of all, Yu Min, a "tough guy" female star, has not liked to take medicine since she was a child, and secondly, she will be a little tired after taking cold medicine, which is very dangerous for filming action scenes.
Yu Min asked the makeup artist to make up her makeup and change her clothes, because there is no connection between the next scene and the previous scene in terms of time.
"I personally suggest that a stand-in be used for this scene, otherwise something happens to Min Yatou, and this drama may be boycotted. Wu Zhi Liu Shanhong suggested to the director again before starting.
"Shan Hong, I am very famous now, and my first two films have won awards, but the investment is at a loss. Niu Zhou sighed: "Action movies are sensory stimulation. ”
Liu Shanhong understood what his old friend said in the first and second words, sighed, and then turned around and directed the construction of the props: "The opposite shelf is too high, remove one layer." The following buffer protection measures must be done well. ”
"Lord Shan. Yu Min shouted respectfully.
"This action is very dangerous, Min girl, you can break down the action even if you don't use martial arts, there is no need to take a shot to the end, it's not worth getting injured for filming this scene. Liu Shanhong advised, and it can be seen from the title that he still admires Min.
The ensuing drama is a life-and-death struggle between the same assassins and cheetahs in a seaside warehouse, on which the cheetahs jump from the cargo platform to another low platform in order to avoid gunfire, then to a crane, and finally to a pile of cardboard boxes.
"Wu Ti is not also dangerous. Yu Min said: "The reason why one shot is wonderful is because of this, and my success rate is even higher." The latter sentence shows self-confidence.
Liu Shanhong was stunned, nodded and smiled: "Yes, Min girl, your skills are only a handful of people who can be compared even in my Liu family class, if the stars have this skill, the martial arts industry will collapse." ”
was praised by the most powerful martial arts finger in China, Yu Min was still very happy.
"It's all right. The head of the props team came over and said.
"Has the cushion been checked?" asked Yu Min.
The person in charge of the props team nodded: "I checked it twice, and it was well placed." ”
"Please check again, don't look at the position of the cushion, mainly to see whether the cushion itself is good, troublesome. Yu Min said.
"Okay. The head of the props team left and complied.
Ten minutes later, all the cushions were checked, the whole crew was running like a large machine, director Niu Zhou and martial arts Liu Shanhong all looked serious, although the following protective measures were done very well, but there was a slight mistake in the triple jump, and the feet were not stable after jumping, and they were knocked somewhere, needless to say, they must be 100% injured. Even if this action is completed very well, if you drop the cardboard box in the end, the body will be injured if you don't smash it well, which is why Wu Zhishan said that it would be dangerous.
There may be many people who want to ask, what is the point of shooting such a dangerous shot? If you want to ask the meaning, it can only be said to show thrilling excitement, in other words, it can indeed be changed to be less dangerous, but isn't action movies just about using thrilling action to satisfy the visual senses of fans?
Yu Min stood on the platform and took a deep breath, so high, she was still a little scared in her heart, this fear was not only psychological, but also physiological, but as soon as the director shouted, Yu Min's expression immediately changed, the female killer cheetah played by her was not afraid of danger, and in an instant Yu Min's body seemed to have turned into a cheetah, vigorous!
Whew!
Yu Min jumped three times in a row, and after each jump, there would be a "puffy" spark explosion in place, corresponding to the shooting of the movie plot.
After completion, Niu Zhou's face was full of smiles, and he even jumped twice, which was actually very worrying at this time, whether there would be any problems in his seventies.
"It's a pity that this girl was born in the wrong era, if she was born decades earlier, she would definitely be an action superstar. Liu Shanhong praised.
The crew here is in full swing, and on the other hand, Chu Shun is busy getting the movie to be distributed overseas, after all, most of the box office that kills Bill comes from Europe and the United States, and Brother Blow's ability as a customer is very strong, yes, but he really hasn't been in touch with overseas distribution, and it can even be said that overseas distribution and domestic distribution are two different things.
Strictly speaking, according to the "Regulations on the Filing of Film Scripts (Synopsis) and the Management of Films", the Internet University has no export qualifications, because there is no dragon standard, but just yesterday, Chu Shun's application for the "Licensed Cultural Exchange Export" qualification has come down.
This qualification certificate is not a back door, it is the "Student (Student) Guidance Plan" set by Huaxia of Yuandixing in order to encourage students and strive to create more high-quality products, covering nine film universities, and Beiying is naturally among them.
Strictly speaking, this "plan" does not have any substantive effect, you think that according to this plan, it is only useful to students, and there are very few people who can make a movie when they are students.
Even if the filming is successful, it would be good to be released, not to mention wanting to make waves abroad. From the time the plan was formulated to the application, it is estimated that there have been only two times in the past few years, and these two times were both award-winning films, so I couldn't get the dragon mark in China, and I wanted to go to foreign A-class film festivals, and I didn't say that it was like Chu Shun who directly made it into a big network.
Since he had eaten the benefits of the school, Chu Shun simply became thick-skinned and found Professor Zhao Liang, but he was cheeky, carried two catties of fruit, and came to the professor's residence.
Knocking on the door obediently, the professor opened the door and saw that the person who came was a student who had just met him not long ago and had given him a lot of surprises, and a smile was also given on his solemn face.
"Come in and sit. Zhao Liang led Chu Shun into the door, then pointed to the wooden table next to the door, and motioned for the students to put the things in their hands here.
Chu Shun noticed that there were many bags of fruit on the table, including apples, oranges, pears, and dragon fruit, all of which were too ordinary, and Chu Shun said that he bought longan.
"Usually I can't finish all these fruits, and sometimes I take them and share them with my old friends. Professor Zhao Liang couldn't help but say when he saw that the students' eyes were fixed on a stall of fruits.
The professor led the students to sit on the sofa, turned around and put on a coat in the room, because he was at home, he was wearing black pajamas, and made a pot of jasmine tea.
"There are three masters of modern literary films that cannot be surpassed, which one do you prefer? Professor Zhao Liang said.
Chu Shun naturally knew that what the professor was talking about was the Holy Trinity that was often mentioned in class.
"To be precise, I don't like the style of these three masters. Chu Shun said: "From my personal point of view, director Fellini is too focused on dreams, director Bergman is long and boring, and director Andre is too heavy in themes, but this is related to my personal dislike of literary films." ”
If Chu Shun draws art films in the future, such as "White Ribbon" and "Mulholland Drive", it will be better, what is better than not liking art films, but making the best art films of this century?
"If I had to choose one of the three masters, I would choose Fellini. Chu Shun said: "Because his sense of picture is stronger." ”
"It's very good, filmmakers don't need to blindly worship the masters. Professor Zhao Liang's wrinkled face showed a smile: "I thought you would choose director Bergman." ”
Chu Shun waited suspiciously for the professor's later text.
"Professor Bergman is more stream-of-consciousness, more literally speaking, more obedient to the idea in his head, even if the idea is wild, he can shoot it. Zhao Liang wanted to take a sip of tea, and kept talking a little dry, but when he put his hand on the side of the teacup, he spoke directly: "The knowledge store is very rich, and I am the best in teaching for so many years." ”
Tried to drink tea, but failed*1
Chu Shun also noticed that it was not the best to be the best, it was obvious that Beiying was still in his twenties, and his knowledge reserve was more than his two lives.
I really can't underestimate these geniuses, Chu Shun muttered in his heart, if there is a chance in the future, he must recruit these geniuses to work under his command.
Relying on academic qualifications, talent, and background is not as good as relying on the system.
After the chat, the professor said straight to the point: "Say, did you encounter any problems with the filming and distribution?"
"A few days ago, I applied for a licensed cultural exchange export, and it was approved, so I wanted to put Kill Bill in Europe and the United States, but I couldn't find a way. Chu Shun said.
Professor Zhao Liang frowned and thought about it, lifted the lid of the cup, and was about to drink tea and think about it again, but as soon as the teacup was held, he seemed to think of it, so he spoke: "Your movie is indeed suitable for overseas, if it is distributed in Europe and the United States, I used to have a student who opened a distribution agency, I will give you the phone, and I will talk to him later, you can talk." ”
Tried to drink tea, but didn't succeed*2
"Thank you, Professor. Chu Shun sincerely thanked him, there are too many doors for overseas distribution, if it is not for the introduction of acquaintances, not to mention the loss of money, the movie may not be released abroad, so many people say that connections are money, which can be fully reflected from this incident.
"No thanks, I'm looking forward to your third work. Professor Zhao Liang said: "Don't sell fruit next time, how good it is to buy two catties of pork." ”
"Roger, next arrangement. Chu Shun nodded.
"I'm not going to leave you for dinner, I'm still taking a nap. Zhao Liang will take a nap as long as he doesn't have class, after all, he is old, and this time he picked up the tea again and the cup was already touching his lips, but as the words came out, he put down the teacup again and prepared to send off the guests.
Tried to drink tea, but failed*3
"Then I'll go first, and the professor will eat and sleep well. Chu Shun said goodbye, and deliberately looked at the teacup before leaving, this is really Schrödinger's tea, whether to drink it or not, it is really unpredictable.
