Chapter 379: [Nightclub] Filming Begins
Huang Bo looked at the script, and said with some doubts: "Boss, is this thing done? How can I look too simple, you won't fool us, right?"
Looking at this script, the plot is indeed too simple, Huang Bo just feels that something is wrong, and he is not saying that it is the first time to make a movie. Therefore, when you look at this book, it is simpler than the peak.
Ye Ming nodded very affirmatively and said: "The movie is not just simple to determine whether it is good or bad, our company invested in this movie itself, do you think I will invest in a movie that I lose money on?"
Obviously, if it is from the perspective of a boss, then on such a question, Ye Ming definitely said that he would not invest in a movie that loses money, according to Ye Ming's vision, Huang Bo also does not believe that Ye Ming will invest in a movie that is obviously going to lose money.
And Xu Zheng is a relatively professional guy, Huang Bo is a wild man, and he doesn't have regular snow yet, so he can rely on his natural feeling of being an actor to see that this script is very simple and quite good. It's an actor's innate instinct that not everyone has.
Xu Zheng, on the other hand, is able to look at problems from a professional point of view.
He took advantage of the fact that Ye Ming and Huang Bo were talking and took a look at the script, and also frowned and said: "Boss, it's just a theater version of the drama, it is estimated that there will not be much advantage in competitiveness." ”
Xu Zheng hit the weakness of this movie at once, there is no competitiveness, the whole movie is a small story that happens in a supermarket, the competitiveness will not be high, it is indeed a theatrical version of the drama.
Ye Ming nodded and said, "Almost, this is indeed a movie similar to a drama, but I don't want you to compete with [Star Wars], that's the real boss." It is estimated that it will be released in more than a month, and by then this [nightclub] will almost be filmed, you just said that it will be done by seizing such a gap. Anyway, I don't expect you to be better than the [Star Wars] box office, just don't lose too ugly. What we're fighting for is a gap like this before the Lunar New Year, and there's only one real deterrent movie in this gap, and that's [Star Wars], don't you think it's too lonely?"
At this time, Xu Zheng was a little confused, could it be that he was dreaming, or that his boss was crazy, such a movie actually said that it would be released when [Star Wars] was released. It's just looking for death. At this time, Xu Zheng immediately said: "Boss, the two of us can't do this thing, this is absolute, this is simply an impossible thing, we compete with Star Wars, this is simply an egg hitting a stone." ”
[Star Wars] has an indelible position in the history of world cinema, and to compete with this kind of movie, no one thinks about the possibility of victory, [Star Wars] is hundreds of millions of dollars. Top high-tech movies, Xu Zheng said that there is no comparison, this is normal. ”
Ye Ming shook his head and said, "You didn't understand what I meant, I didn't mean that it would be released at the same time as [Star Wars]. Generally, the release cycle of movies in our country is one month, and we are still two months away from the Chinese New Year, as I just said, it is for you to grab this gap period, and it is to wait for the [Star Wars] to be released, and it will basically be released seamlessly. After all, more than a month, the filming of the movie has just been completed, and there is still editing to be completed, we are a small-budget movie. I was so idle that I went to challenge [Star Wars]. As long as we are guaranteed to make a profit, it is our victory. You still expect to be able to compete with others. ”
If it is said that at such a time it is [Jing Ke Assassinating the King of Qin], then it is still possible to fight for it at such a time.
[Star Wars: Phantom Crisis] even if it was a Waterloo in China. But only movies of the level of [Titanic], "The Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter" can compete.
Xu Zheng can be regarded as relieved now, there is a suitable schedule, and with the participation of a star like Ye Ming, [Nightclub] is still quite tempting.
Xu Zheng can still see the quality of the script. The next day, the entire entertainment industry was publicized, and China Film was going to introduce the world-level blockbuster [Star Wars: Phantom Crisis], which was the biggest action after [Titanic].
Therefore, the New Film Association has been quite good at promoting such a movie, at such a time, no matter what you say, China Film also spent a lot of money to buy the screening rights of [Star Wars: Phantom Crisis], therefore, on such a problem, they have always spared no effort to publicize it, and even put eye-catching billboards at the exit of the Beijing Station Airport.
Compared with this thing in full swing, at this time, the [nightclub] of Brilliant Film and Television officially started filming, which did not attract much attention from others.
And before the filming of [Nightclub] started, Han Shanping deliberately didn't look for it, he said straight to the point: "You kid, find me something, isn't it, what name is your movie not good, use the word [nightclub], the people in the General Administration have a lot of complaints about this script, thinking that this name is not very good, and it is suspected of inducing the audience." ”
Ye Ming argued and said: "Isn't this this, Director Han, who is in a panic when he is full, you have also read my script, but it is a story that takes place in a 24-hour supermarket, in fact, the storyline is also super simple, there is no complicated story, just like the theatrical version of a drama, this thing can also be suspected of inducing consumers, where does this come from, this is simply to make us chill." ”
Han Shanping smiled and looked at the nagging Ye Ming and said: "You kid don't come to this set, you know best what kind of name you obtained, and it is normal for some comrades in the bureau to oppose it, and, I think, some people may not be very satisfied with you, thinking that you are not obedient to the leader, this is somewhat similar to Feng Xiaogang and Jiang Wen's gang, and there are still some people above who are not very satisfied with you, which can be seen from the fact that someone picks a problem in the name of the script."
But. I still argued with reason and gave this script to Guò. I'm calling you here, and I'm trying to remind you. Someone might have done something to you, and. I don't think this time it's just ordinary people who will attack you, so it's just a matter of taking your own time on a question like this. In this way, it is somewhat consistent with what Luo Xiumei said, Luo Xiumei said this, Ye Ming was already a little vigilant.
And in such a situation, this matter came out of Han Shanping's mouth again, and Ye Ming felt that there was a smell of conspiracy approaching him.
The start-up of the nightclub. Naturally, it is a lot more cautious, and it is a start-up ceremony held without media, that is to say, several media that symbolically have a good relationship with Brilliant Film and Television received a notice from Brilliant Film and Television, saying that they have such a movie to start shooting, and even said that they didn't even say their names, which made everyone depressed for a long time, and even said that after investigation, a reporter with magical powers actually said that they found that in a situation where it was good, Brilliant Film and Television even said that it did not even recruit a group performance.
Ye Ming also left a message on the forum that he was shooting a new film. But I didn't expect that the doll actually said that it would be the first time to reply to the post [What great work does Director Ye have, reveal some. When the time comes, I will definitely go to the theater to support. Ye Ming [One step is a more interesting popcorn movie, it doesn't have any educational significance, but it is very interesting, it can be regarded as a warm-up before [People are embarrassed]. 】
The doll immediately asked, [Will Director Ye play a role in this, or will he direct this movie, I will organize some fans to visit the class when I go back, and the big landlord of this village chatted with me yesterday, saying that you haven't done anything recently. I didn't expect you to say that you would start shooting a new film, and it was two movies as soon as it started. 】
Ye Ming said very politely, [There is no need to visit the class. The filming of my new film was carried out in secret, and I was going to do a real thing. The future development trend of small-budget films in our country, therefore. My cost of this movie is about one million, not too high, and it will be released immediately after [Star Wars: Phantom Crisis], because it is of a real nature, therefore, I didn't notify the media when it started, and it was just a matter of letting our company's artists participate in the shooting. 】
How to survive in the future tide of film reform for small-budget films is also what Huaxia films need to explore in the future, so Ye Ming thought about how he should understand and explore the solution to this matter. Seeing Ye Ming say this, the doll no longer said that she would visit the class, but said that she would take someone to charter the venue on the first day of the release to support Ye Ming.
[Nightclub] is carried out in a filming studio in a film studio, because it is a movie similar to a drama, and the scene is enough to say that there is such a supermarket set.
Ye Ming sat in the director's position, silently looking at the time on the mobile phone, his face became deeper and deeper, this made it the first time to turn on the camera, and it actually said that someone was late, which made Ye Ming feel extremely angry, he had not controlled the company's affairs before, so he didn't know very well what the discipline of the company's actors was, anyway, the crew didn't have any complaints, there should be no big difference in discipline. However, at this time, it was actually said that someone was late, and it was Ma Su, who Ye Ming was very optimistic about, who was late.
I was half an hour late.
In the crew, daring to let the director wait for a minute also means that the person has lost the qualification for this role, this is a rule of the crew, even if it is said that an actor waits for the director for half an hour, this is no problem, the director in the crew is the sky, unless it is the kind of strong emperor superstar level actor who can suppress the director, any remaining actors are not qualified to let the director wait, let the whole crew wait.
Obviously, Ma Su is a newcomer, and he definitely does not have such qualifications.
At this time, Tang Wei, who played the boss's wife, explained a little anxiously on the side: "Director Ye, there may be some misunderstanding about this matter, Ma Su has been in contact with me for a long time, very hard-working, very dedicated actor, and will never be late for no reason." ”
Because the relationship with Ma Su is very good, at this time, seeing the cloudy expression on the face of director Ye Ming, Tang Wei hurriedly explained.
Ye Ming snorted and said noncommittally: "Xu Zheng, continue to call Ma Su and ask her what she wants to do, whether she said that she doesn't take the crew in her eyes." ”
Xu Zheng was a little helpless, Ma Su, a little girl, is quite popular in the company, a big grinning, heartless little girl, very attractive, therefore, at this time Xu Zheng was also very anxious, and dialed Ma Su's mobile phone again, but the other party just didn't answer the phone.
This is the third time he has called Ma Su, and he still can't get through at this time, Xu Zheng can only helplessly put down the phone and say, "Director Ye, I'm sorry, I'm still answering the phone alone." Is it that the mobile phone is out of battery, traffic jams, traffic jams in Beijing are also very normal, generally we take the subway, but if it is said that there is a crew filming, we will take a taxi, if it is a traffic jam, it is not impossible. ”
These two people are saying good things for Ma Su, which shows that Ma Su is still very popular in the company.
Ye Ming hesitated, but slowly stretched his eyebrows and said, "I hope that's the case, otherwise, even if the acting skills of such an actor are good, we won't be able to use it." At this time, Wang Di, who served as the scene reporter of the crew, came over and said: "Several of us can come on time, we are all collective dormitories of the same unit, and some people just can't come on time." ”
Because Wang Di's acting skills are not enough, Ye Ming checked that he hasn't even had three hundred now, and it is not enough to participate in the performance, even if she throws Wang Di to the TV series crew to play a supporting role or something, then she herself is very difficult, at such a time, if she is asked to participate in a movie performance, the requirements for acting skills are very high, and it is impossible for Wang Di to control it at all.
Therefore, when selecting the actors, Ye Ming did not consider Wang Di's role, in line with the fact that he was a person from the company anyway, he couldn't be idle, and he was pulled over to make a scene record, and he could be regarded as a member of the crew.
Wang Di said such things at such a time, which means that he is a little heart-wrenching. (To be continued)
