The duration of a commercial film is often between 90 and 120 minutes.

Because once this time is exceeded, not only will the theater be reluctant to schedule films, but the audience will also feel tired.

Therefore, excellent commercial film directors generally calculate the duration of the main plot according to the script.

Of course, they will also shoot a lot of details, and when the movie is still rich, they will add details to make the movie more charming.

In history, "People in Embarrassment" filmed several subplots, and finally cut off most of the subplots because of the duration, resulting in inexplicable supporting characters.

In Ning Hao's opinion, this approach is simply a smashing signboard.

For example, the rough cut version of "No Man's Land" has more than four hours, and after cutting half of the time, the ins and outs of each character and the foreshadowing of each plot can be arranged properly

This is called kung fu.

Ning Hao read the script over and over again, spitting and said, "Your role as a female teacher is not only redundant, it is simply redundant." ”

"Have you ever seen a female teacher who runs into the street and kneels down to cheat money for the sake of her students? Have you ever seen it?"

Xu Zheng was silently asked, and even he didn't believe in such a plot.

"It's this handsome and Nana, you can expand it again, one is homeless, the other misses her hometown, but she doesn't want to go home, the love between them is a little interesting. ”

Huang Bote looked at Ning Hao suspiciously, do you know what love is?

I've been making movies with you for so many years, and I've never seen you make love.

"And this little hotel, you have to choose a name......"

"It's called Night Paris?" Before he finished speaking, Zhou Jin understood.

In every movie of this guy, no matter what the bad place, there has to be a place called Night Paris.

Ning Hao had a teachable expression, and said, "Tell me, what fun things have you encountered during the Spring Festival?"

Just like filling in the elements of the Western Frontier in a no-man's land, Ning Hao began to ponder the elements of the Celestial Empire's society in the embarrassment of people.

Huang Bodao: "I used to fall asleep on the train, and when I woke up, my wallet was gone, and when I slept again, my wallet came back." ”

Zhou Jin looked at him vigilantly, "Don't tell me that the flight attendant sent it back to you?"

"That's not it," Huang Bo said, "I deliberately put an old wallet in my outer pocket, and I stuffed a note inside, and there was nothing." ”

Xu Zheng asked cooperatively, "What is written on the note?"

Huang Bo bared his teeth, "It says, Sun thief, you dare to steal your grandfather's wallet?!"

Zhou Jin slapped his thigh, "When you say that, I think of a story that my grandfather told me." ”

"What's the story?"

Zhou Jin said: "I was only eight years old that year, and my grandfather told me that he used to go to South Korea to fight, and one night, he sat in a tank truck and fell asleep in a daze. ”

When he woke up, he found that his comrades were gone, and the tank was parked on the side of the road, so he strangely got off the tank and found that the fog was so heavy that he couldn't see the road with a flashlight. ”

He held his gun and shouted the names of his comrades, while probing around, but he found no traces, so he panicked a little, thinking that he could not have found the enemy. ”

At this moment, he suddenly saw a little light in front of him, he quickly extinguished the flashlight, and then the bullet was loaded, and he rushed over. ”

As soon as he arrived, he found an old man kneeling in front of a tombstone with an oil lamp, and his comrades were snoring loudly. ”

"He was holding a gun to the old man's head, and guess what?" Zhou Jin asked mysteriously.

"What's the matter? Who is that old man?" asked Xu Zheng cooperatively.

Ning Hao muttered, "I can't imagine that you are still a hero." ”

Zhou Jin lowered his voice and continued: "The old man turned his head tremblingly, stretched out his dry hand, and handed over a note, my grandfather was startled, and looked at the Chinese characters on the note, and was stunned. ”

"What's written on that note?" asked Huang Bo with some curiosity.

Zhou Jin smiled evilly, "Hey, you said that it was a coincidence, and it was written on it, the paragraph that your old man just said." ”

"What do you mean?" Huang Bo didn't react too much.

"That means your joke is too old. Ning Hao complained mercilessly.

Huang Bo finally understood, laughed, and said, "You are all boring, making up such a story just to talk about this?"

"Don't say that there are many obstacles in the green mountains, and the wind is also strong......"

When the song of the last century sounded, Zhou Jin picked up his mobile phone and saw that the caller ID was a call from Lao Hu.

Lao Hu should still be in Taiwan, didn't he say that he was recording a show today, what kind of call did he call me?

"I'll answer the phone first," Zhou Jin walked to the window with his mobile phone and pressed answer.

A rough female voice came from over there, "Why didn't you help me charge my phone bill yesterday, my phone is in arrears, do you know?"

It's Liu Sisi.

Zhou Jin said: "You didn't tell me again, your mobile phone is in arrears, how do I know?"

Liu Sisi said angrily: "Then I'll call you to tell you? How can I call when I have no money on my mobile phone? You tell me, how to call?"

yes, it doesn't make sense.

Zhou Jin said: "I'll give you a ride later, aren't you recording a show, what's the effect?"

Speaking of this, Liu Sisi's tone softened and said, "It's pretty good." Hey, do you know the imp?"

"What kind of imp? I only know the little ghost. ”

Liu Sisi said: "The little ghost is a host over there, and he said that I will definitely be popular, because I improvised on the show, and I cried when I cried." ”

"Can you do this?" Zhou Jin was quite surprised, "What about the joke I taught you?"

He was more concerned about this, "How's the response?"

Liu Sisi said: "It's funny." ”

"Gone?"

"It's gone. ”

Well, it's still not very reliable to rely on a joke to attract fans.

After the show is broadcast, fans will think that this female artist is not only beautiful, but also quite funny.

"Are you still in the imperial capital, how is that movie?" asked Liu Sisi.

"It's already cold, and we're preparing the next one now," Zhou Jin said.

"No more salvage, so soon to replace the next one?"

Zhou Jin suddenly found that Liu Sisi's various mouths are now very smooth, and he was really brought by himself.

"If we don't rescue it, our director was hit like a grandson, and he almost jumped off the building. ”

"It's so serious, so did he jump?"

“......”

The two were talking nonsense on the phone, and Liu Sisi also discussed with him how to eat oyster noodles, and Lao Hu was anxious next to him.

"If you continue to talk, my mobile phone will be in arrears, this is a long-distance plus roaming ......"

Liu Sisi said: "Don't say it, you remember to charge me the phone bill." ”

Zhou Jin repeatedly assured, and then ended the call that spanned the two places.

Returning to the table and sitting down, Huang Bo asked with a narrow face, "Your girlfriend?"

"No, don't talk nonsense, I'm still single. Zhou Jin denied it.

"You're going to be single all the time? I see that you don't lack pounds or two, why don't you have any ideas at all. ”

Zhou Jin said: "How good it is to be single, what do you want." ”

The three married old men glanced at each other and felt that what the grandson said was actually quite reasonable.

Ning Hao patted him on the shoulder fiercely, "If you can have this awareness, it must be a good material in the future, but when did the labor and management want to jump off the building?"

Zhou Jin smiled: "Isn't this a preparation for you, your days of filming movies are still long, maybe you will be shot again one day, you can't think about it, ah~~ Bang! It's gone, let's make preparations." ”

Ning Hao said: "Bah, this is such a big deal, and you underestimate me too much." ”

Huang Bo applauded, "That's a good feeling, then our movie has also ended, when will it start?"

"Turn on, what's on?" Ning Hao pushed the script and went back to the sofa to lie down, "Did I say I was going to take it?"

Xu Zheng said: "Then you talk so much, what do you mean?"

Ning Hao crossed Erlang's legs, "Hmph, it's boring." ”8)
