Chapter 230: Assistant Director
Filming movies alone, although Chen Xiao has this confidence now, if he wants to be 100% sure, he still needs to find an assistant director.
Of course, it would be nice to be able to work part-time as an executive director.
Therefore, it is better for this person to be hard-working and professional.
And Chen Xiao already has a candidate in his heart, that is Sun Xutao, who has previously filmed the MV of "East Wind Breaking" for Chen Xiao.
When filming the MV before, Chen Xiao felt that Sun Xutao's vision was very unique.
Although Sun Xutao has photographed a lot of things, they are all marginal things, and it is still difficult to become famous with these things.
If you want to be famous, of course, you still have to make movies.
At that time, Chen Xiao had a few simple words with Sun Xutao, and he could feel that Sun Xutao wanted to make a movie.
It's just that one has no connections, but no qualifications, so there has been no such opportunity.
Chen Xiao felt that he and Sun Xutao still got along.
However, whether Sun Xutao is willing to come over or not, of course, he still needs his own consent, but if he has this opportunity, he will still agree.
So Chen Xiao made a phone call to Sun Xutao, briefly talked about the situation, and said that he wanted to make a movie and needed him to come over and help.
"Mr. Chen, I'm willing, even if it's free, I'll do it!"
Chen Xiao said: "Of course it won't be free, but there are a lot of things that need you to make, and I don't know if I can endure this hardship." ”
Sun Xutao immediately said: "I have nothing else, but I can endure hardships, don't worry, as long as you explain everything, I will do it for you." ”
"Yes, then it's a pleasure to work with. ”
"Mr. Chen, where are you now, I can go over now. ”
As he expected, Sun Xutao was so happy that he agreed directly without even knowing the cooperation plan.
To put it bluntly, the executive director is a coolie, but he plays a big role on the set, just like the limbs of the crew.
But Sun Xutao needs such a role very much.
At that time, when Chen Xiao left his contact information, he was overjoyed, thinking that he might be taken by Chen Xiao and might have the opportunity to make a movie.
But after this incident, Chen Xiao never contacted him again, as if he had forgotten him.
Although he really wanted to give Chen Xiao a call and ask for a chance, he knew that he was not qualified for this yet.
Luckily, although this opportunity was late, it still came.
Everyone will meet one or two nobles on the way to grow up, and he feels that Chen Xiao may become his nobleman.
Almost impatient, Sun Xutao came to the gold market.
Before meeting Chen Xiao, he was still a little apprehensive in his heart, for fear that he would lose this hard-won opportunity if he was not careful.
But after seeing Chen Xiao, he settled down.
Chen Xiao in life is still different from when he was filming before, he is more approachable, just like a friend.
"Mr. Chen, I don't know if there are any conditions in terms of casting?"
Although he is an assistant director, he is responsible for the casting, but he still wants to ask Chen Xiao what he means.
Chen Xiao said: "You can just watch it yourself, since the position is given to you, of course, the right is also yours, if the protagonist is played, I can play it myself, and you will watch the rest." ”
Sun Xutao asked, "Mr. Chen, what about the script?"
"Oh, script, here, you take it back and read it. ”
Sun Xutao took the script and said solemnly: "Mr. Chen, thank you for giving me this opportunity, it is very important to me." ”
Chen Xiao smiled: "What I like is your work ability, it has nothing to do with others, you just need to follow me to make a good movie, don't think too much about the rest." ”
Sun Xutao showed a smile: "Yes." ”
"Don't be too stressed, after all, everyone is here for the first time, you have also shot a lot of things before, maybe you have more experience than me, we can discuss the shooting when the time comes, take your time, and it will always be good." ”
Sun Xutao felt that Chen Xiao was comforting him and not letting him be too nervous.
After all, there is no boss who will tell the director, 'Shoot slowly, it will always be good'.
Sun Xutao said: "Mr. Chen, I especially admire the first movie you made at that time, at that time, you could send a car with a camera to such an excellent movie, I especially want to repeat your successful process, but I don't have the courage." ”
Chen Xiao: "You'd better not learn it, that movie has gone through twists and turns to make money, and if you do it again, you may really lose it." ”
He really wasn't lying.
At that time, he just had a flash of inspiration, and then he thought of the propaganda plan that seems beautiful now.
It was also because of publicity that he earned his first money for this film.
Otherwise, let alone being released abroad, it is a question of whether the cost can be recovered.
You must know that now the aroma of wine is also afraid of deep alleys, and the channel is king, not just talking.
That movie was full of too many coincidences, and if he did it again, he really couldn't guarantee that he would succeed.
This is a legend that cannot be replicated.
Otherwise, no one would call him a genius director because of this movie, because of the miracle he created.
This is also slightly inferior to "Crazy Stone".
Sun Xutao said embarrassedly: "Of course I know, otherwise, I wouldn't have hesitated so much, or Mr. Chen had the courage at that time, which created the myth." ”
Chen Xiao smiled slightly, he didn't expect Sun Xutao to be his fan brother, he likes people who tell the truth like this, and it sounds comfortable.
After bidding farewell to Chen Xiao, Sun Xutao couldn't wait to start studying the script.
Charlotte troubles?
It's a little confusing to hear the name, but since it's a comedy, there should be a reversal.
The protagonist's name is Charlotte, is it because of something that makes this Charlotte particularly troubled, and in the end the trouble is solved?
After reading the outline of the story, he realized that this was not the case at all.
The story is about a man named Charlotte who is reborn and then uses those future songs to become a singer, but it is only at this time that he understands what he needs most.
Such an idea!
Sun Xutao's eyes lit up, such a script is worthy of Chen Xiao, who wrote "Comet", it is simply the same, but this movie does not focus on these fantasy things, but chooses a more comedic life.
He knew it was definitely a good script.
But if you want to express this story perfectly, it depends on the director's skills.
And the director of this play, one is Chen Xiao and the other is him.
But Chen Xiao doesn't seem to have made this type of movie either, so can they really make a comedic effect?
Sun Xutao felt that the pressure on him was a little bigger, and it seemed that he still needed to study the script more carefully.
But what Sun Xutao didn't know was that Chen Xiao already had a complete movie in his head, and all he had to do was restore the movie.
What seems to others to be more difficult, in his case, is simply copy-paste.
