"The Tale of Two Donkeys", two sources of funding, Movie Channel and Tianhuan Media.

The former is politically endorsed, the latter is a cross-border investment...

Tianhuan Media is affiliated to Tianhuan Nutrition, and the boss is called Mingdequan.

Probably every boss has a movie dream, and when he has more money, he uses it to invest in the entertainment industry...

Boss Ma even personally acted in "I Am the Richest Man, Who Are You".

Actually, you can't blame these bosses, what do you say they can do?

In addition to bragging everywhere and leaving a bunch of celebrity quotes, I also invest in movies and find a sense of existence...

Very good!

A group of rich people are not like the seven oligarchs who engaged in political speculation after the collapse of the Soviet Union, unlike the rich people in the United States who set up foundations to export ideology, not like the richest man in Italy, the prime minister and the media tycoons who are full of lace, and not like the richest man in Mexico who monopolizes the basic industries, the poor people in poor countries, the rich people in India who wear gold and silver, have a bad look and low taste, and the Arab tycoons, fragrant cars, beautiful women, and beasts are depraved and corrupt.

I usually give speeches everywhere and spread inspirational success.

He also showed up with the crowd to have fun, and had an addiction to playing tickets with a group of entertainment artists rather than politicians.

By the way, it also publicizes traditional culture, promotes the core values of socialism and the Chinese dream of small and micro enterprises...

What else do you want people to do?

Ahem...

In other words, "The Tale of Two Donkeys" is not short of funds!

Now, there is another Hong Kong Film Foundation who wants to enter - Wang Qingqiang read the original work of "The Story of Two Donkeys" and felt that this story could be dug deeper, and he was responsible for recommending it to Berlin...

Li Dawei was excited!

In the past 20 years, countless Chinese filmmakers have taken the three major exhibitions as their lifelong goals.

It's very simple, from "Red Sorghum" to "Farewell My Concubine", from "City of Sadness" to "In the Mood for Love", the international influence of Chinese films has been picked up little by little by relying on them.

Of course, in a few more years, when the mainland market is booming, although we go to the red carpet every year, the attention is more on the local area.

But now it's 06, and the Berlin Film Festival is too tempting for a director like Li Dawei!

The most important thing is Wang Qingqiang's guarantee!

Why did Lao Chen dare to shoot "Wuji", which cost 350 million, isn't it because the trailer in North America sold for 15 million US dollars - Harvey gave a deposit, 500,000 US dollars, and then watched the finished film, and directly didn't want it, and didn't want the 500,000 deposit...

......

Li Dawei didn't use too many professional actors, and basically picked a few supporting roles among the locals...

This can be more realistic,

However, it is too amateurish, and it is difficult to maintain the continuity of one's own state and image memory.

To put it simply, if you jump and shoot, Lu Xiaoran and they can pick it up right away, and they will act as they say, but those amateurs can only save up the drama little by little...

The photography group arrived in early September, Lu Xiaoran's old acquaintance, Du Jie!

After filming "Stone", Ning Hao went to the crew of "Racing" in retreat, as a photographer, Du Jie was much freer, and took advantage of this gap to take "Let's See"...

"Lao Ning's script hasn't been written yet?"

"Almost..."Du Jie put down his camera equipment: "I may have to shoot an advertisement recently!"

"Commercials?

"Well, it seems that the company over there in South Korea gave a budget of 2 million!"

"How much?"

"Stone" only spent 3.6 million, and now, shooting an advertisement, directly gave 2 million!

"Looks like a game company!"

"Oh..."

In these years, all the thieves who make games are rich, from Chen Tianqiao to Ding Sanshi, they all started as games...

"What game?"

"It's like it's called 'Miracle World'... I'll look for you then!"

"Okay, I got it!"

......

Weeks of September.

It's warm at noon, it's still cold in the morning and evening, and it's a thin sweater and a jacket, which is the standard clothing.

In the first week of filming, there were some stumbles, no way, the crew was not very familiar with each other.

Li Dawei is not in a hurry, he is very patient with amateur actors, and he is also very set.

Zhou Zhi has never been here before, and these people are all interested in film shooting, so they find a crowd to perform for a day, give 30 yuan, and many people don't want money, just for fun.

But none of them have learned acting, can they not be annoyed by doing it over and over again?

Li Dawei has a way, you play it once, he shoots one, and when it's over, he praises you first, saying that you act well, like a big star, but there is one place that should be better, you should do it like this, and do it again? Okay, come again! That's it, some shots take half a day, and then go back and edit it.

By the way, this movie is also shot in high-definition digital first, and then transferred to film later - this saves money.

Livestock sheds.

It is said that Ma Jie came to a rural village in the northwest to cut in line, and was attracted by the cry of the beautiful donkey in the village-Black Six.

Ma Jie didn't let Hei Liu ride, and a certain work injury stole anesthetics to black six during stitches in the clinic, and the captain Dalian thought that Hei Liu was sick and was anxious. Ma Jie miraculously "heals" Black Roku, wins the trust of Da Lian and the team, and becomes a livestock breeder.

The original breeder was honorably retired.

Lu Xiaoran, styling: wearing a pair of black-framed glasses with no degree, her hair is very messy, and she is like a chicken nest.

Nibbling on the green onions, I followed the previous livestock breeder to see the donkey shed...

"This is Black Seven, it's a brother with Black Six!"

“... Then why doesn't he breed?"

"Not every donkey can do the work of breeding. ”

Lu Xiaoran squatted down and glanced at it: "Is this innate?"

"Almost, the requirements for breeding donkeys are relatively high, with a good appearance, a strong body, and a high reproductive rate!"

While talking, the breeder prepared food for Heiliu, in addition to sorghum, millet, and forage, there were eggs...

Lu Xiaoran was stunned...

He is an intellectual young man, and he can't eat eggs, but a donkey actually has two eggs a day?

"Ma Jie, don't think nonsense, Black Six is a donkey, and its life is precious!"

Lu Xiaoran watched the nest head she gnawed, and suddenly felt bored...

"Click..."

Li Dawei nodded: "Okay, next!"

The next one is that Lu Xiaoran fed Hei Liu, he skillfully mixed the hay, and then knocked an egg, and was about to break the second egg, when he suddenly stopped...

He glanced at the black donkey, his lips turned up slightly, and then he took the egg back into his pocket...

It can't talk anyway!
