Chapter 458: Worried
Northwest Pictures' "My Youth" was filmed very smoothly, the plot is old-fashioned, full of violence and sex, youth movies in recent years are like this, but the male and female protagonists have their own traffic, plus first-class screenwriters and cutting-edge directors, internal predictions that this movie should be a small explosion.
"Chairman, our film shooting went smoothly, and it will be finished in half a month. Du Jiande reported to Xu Boming.
"What about Zhongyi Pictures?" asked Xu Boming.
"They just started filming, using students who have just graduated, screenwriters who are not in the stream and directors who have never heard of it, and they look like a poor crew, which looks even worse than online dramas. Du Jiande said.
"The one surnamed Wang doesn't know what tricks to play. Xu Boming said that he was a little afraid of Wang Hao from the beginning to now, and he didn't even feel it.
"He can't play any tricks, according to our people, originally Qu Bing wanted to invite celebrities and famous directors to fight in the ring with me, but after the surnamed Wang came, he began to point fingers, and finally made it like this, like a beggar crew, a layman guides an insider, waiting to hit the street. Du Jiande said.
Xu Boming didn't speak, frowned slightly and thought for a moment, and said: "Start online publicity now, and after the finale, let the heroes and heroines be publicized nationwide, and build up momentum for me, don't be afraid to spend money, you must compare Zhongyi Pictures' "Days of Youth" to it." ”
"Okay, chairman, in fact, the chairman doesn't have to worry at all, the other party can't be compared to us at all. Du Jiande said.
"Don't be careless. Xu Boming has fought a few rounds with Wang Hao, and he doesn't believe that since the other party came to Beijing in person, he only made a beggar crew?
Du Jiande should say it, but in his heart he doesn't think so, they have traffic stars, famous directors, and middle-to-upper-level scripts, if they spend a lot of money on publicity, it is easy to estimate that the box office will break 100 million, and there is even hope to hit 300 million, so far, the highest box office of domestic youth-themed movies is only more than 200 million, if they can break through 300 million, it will create a new record for youth-themed movies.
In the following period of time, Du Jiande began to build momentum on the Internet, bombarded with all kinds of information, and soon my youth set off a topic on the Internet.
Fans strongly support Lu Han and Ouyang Nina, but there are also those who pour cold water, saying that Lu Han and Ouyang Nina have no acting skills, in short, there is a lot of noise on the Internet.
Since Wang Hao came back from Ouyang's house, he has been immersed in the crew, although he doesn't know how to act, but the central idea of the whole script has been established by him, and the scenes of the entire script are in his mind, and he has a ruler in his heart for what effect needs to be achieved.
Originally, Jiang Xiaolan and others filmed very well, and Zhao Rong felt OK, but Wang Hao disagreed: "Do it again." ”
"Still no, do it again. ”
"No, come again!"
In the end, it became two words: "Come again!"
There was a scene where Wang Hao asked Jiang Xiaolan to shoot for a week, and the whole crew was stuck here, and Zhao Rong had a big fight with him: "Brother Hao, who is the director of the two of us, I won't shoot if you do this again." ”
"Don't don't, this is the key point of the whole play, this point has changed the heroine's thinking, if you can't play that kind of feeling, the movie will be greatly discounted. Wang Hao said to Zhao Rong, and then coaxed him all kindly, but he didn't let go of his performance at this point.
His stubborn persistence not only drove Zhao Rong crazy, but Jiang Xiaolan was also about to go crazy, her performances hundreds of times a day, filming in a day, and dreaming at night are all the plot of this scene.
The rest of the crew was also a little overwhelmed, and they had a few complaints.
Wang Hao was also a little anxious, and Jiang Xiaolan cried on this day: "Can you act, if you can't act, get out, it's been a week, and I still can't grasp the overall emotional transformation." ”
Click, click......
Jiang Xiaolan lowered her head and shed tears silently.
"Brother Hao, it's you who are too harsh, Xiaolan has already acted very well. Zhao Rong glared at Wang Hao, then dragged Jiang Xiaolan aside and comforted her.
Jiang Xiaolan is really working hard, so that she can shoot as many times as she wants, this is not the point, the point is that every time you can see a trace of progress, a trace of her own things, which shows that she is thinking and improving.
After getting angry, Wang Hao also knew that he was a little wrong, but when he saw that the Internet was overwhelmingly promoting "My Youth" from Northwest Pictures, he was not in a hurry.
This is a battle between him and Xu Boming, although you can't see the smoke of gunpowder, but if the movie loses, then your own momentum will be weaker, and the enemy will be stronger, which is something that cannot be expressed in words.
The film was not filmed that day, Jiang Xiaolan hid in the room and cried, and suddenly there was a knock on the door.
Knock knock!
She hurriedly wiped away her tears, got up to open the door, and found Wang Hao standing outside: "Mr. Wang." ”
Wang Hao saw that Jiang Xiaolan still had tears on her face, and knew that she should have been crying in the room just now, so he thought about it and said, "I'm sorry, my attitude in the morning may not be very good." ”
"It's okay, it's that I didn't act well. Jiang Xiaolan said.
"I know that I haven't acted well and can still be saved, come with me. Wang Hao said.
"Huh?" Jiang Xiaolan was stunned for a moment, feeling a little sad in her heart.
Leaning slightly, she followed Wang Hao into the car, Qu Bing drove, she sat in the back seat, and Wang Hao sat in the co-pilot's seat.
Half an hour later, the car drove into a school for the deaf and dumb.
"This school for the deaf and dumb has a deaf and dumb singing and dancing team, which is very famous, you can have a good chat with their team members this afternoon to see how they break through their inner barriers and finally face life bravely, especially their positive attitude towards life, understand?" Wang Hao turned his head to Jiang Xiaolan, who was sitting in the back row, and said.
"Hmm!" Jiang Xiaolan nodded immediately, and then got out of the car, she was still a little nervous at first, but with the communication with some deaf and dumb teenagers, she felt a lot of emotion in her heart, and even sometimes she would burst into tears, and there was something that touched her heart and impacted her heart.
That night, she didn't sleep, combined with the emotion of the deaf school in the afternoon, she kept integrating into the psychology of the protagonist in the script, and finally in the morning, she had a new understanding of the protagonist.
The next morning, when filming again, she passed one by one and finally passed this level.
"yes, that's what it feels, that's right. Wang Hao looked at the monitor and spoke.
Zhao Rong pursed her lips, she wanted to say a few words to Wang Hao, but when she looked at the picture and Jiang Xiaolan's full emotions, she didn't seem to be acting, but had already incarnated as the heroine in the movie, and with the change of her expression, she could arouse people's emotional resonance.
The scene taken last week was almost identical, but the comparison between the two really felt different, as if today's performance had a soul and was no longer superficial.
Jiang Xiaolan passed this level, and the subsequent shooting went a lot smoother, although Wang Hao is still very harsh and often points fingers, but in two days at most, shoot a few hundred, Jiang Xiaolan can meet the requirements, and then pass smoothly.
Two months later, the movie was finally completed, I thought that Northwest Pictures' "My Youth" should have been released a long time ago, but until their "Days of Youth" was completed, the other party still did not move, Qu Bing inquired, saying that it was not passed above, too much violence and sex, and it has been revised.
"Looks like we're going to see each other's bayonets red. Wang Hao said.
"Almost, with their speed of revisions and approvals, it's likely that our two films will be released at the same time. Qu Bing said: "Brother Hao, this is very bad for us. ”
"It's not good, no, no, it's not good for the surname Xu. "Wang Hao is very confident in his films.
Qu Bing didn't say anything more, but in her heart, she did think that her company's movies might not be able to compete with each other, after all, the other party's male and female protagonists are traffic Xiaosheng and traffic Xiaohua, the director is also a new director who has been very popular recently, and the screenwriter is also a first-class screenwriter, and the special publicity is even more powerful, and now almost everyone on the Internet is talking about this drama, on the contrary, there is absolutely no problem with the quality of her own "Days of Youth", but I don't know if the audience can accept it, because after all, there was no such movie before, and publicity is also a problem.
