On February 16, Yang Qing flew back to Beijing from his hometown in Chongqing.

It was cold, but his heart was on fire.

Lao Tzu has finally made a movie!

For this day, he has been preparing for more than ten years...

may have been from the time I saw the swords and swords on the disc in the video hall when I was a child, and saw the friendship of men, at that time, the idea of making a movie of my own has taken root in the depths!

After coming to Beijing, he began to get in touch with people in the industry, and slowly learned about the film industry, and began to be a gunman...

And then the gang said they were going to take him to make a movie!

For him, these experiences were like taking a young man to see a mirage, and he believed it to be true.

And then what?

Withdrawing from the infinite possibilities, he felt that he had lost a lot, and this feeling was the most terrifying.

During that time, Yang Qing's whole person was in an extremely empty but excited state, he knew that he should make his own movies, but he completely lost his direction about what to do and how to do it, he just drew his sword and looked around at a loss...

It was probably the Spring Festival of 07, and a crew in his hometown finally had an epiphany after being brutally beaten for a round.

He wants to make a movie that is low-cost, can pass the review, the audience will laugh when watching it, and investors can make money.

Then he took out "Night Club", and after that, he met Xu Zheng and Lu Xiaoran...

Of course, he knows that his qualifications are very shallow, and the two great gods of the crew, Xu Zheng and Lu Xiaoran, are all drama tyrants!

What is more hateful than a drama bully?

Meet two drama tyrants!

Xu Zheng is really a drama bully, in fact, many directors and producers in Hong Kong asked him to play supporting roles - those who could act in comedy in those years were in demand.

He is unwilling, he would rather play some roles that he can control at a small cost, rather than lifting shoes for others...

There is a sense of arrogance!

However, they still respect the director very much, shoot normally, and don't say a word.

The conditions have been negotiated, you are your director, we will act in our play, there are different opinions, you can discuss...

Let's not play Yiyantang, this is probably the difference between Lu Xiaoran, Xu Zheng and Jiang Wen.

Therefore, Yang Qing's heart is both expectant and a little confused...

......

"Your storyboard is too abstract!"

Lu Xiaoran was holding a stack of A4 paper, and in the small grids on it, what was drawn was... Stickman...

To be exact, this is a storyboard of "Nightclub"...

Yang Qing was embarrassed: "... My art skills are so poor..."

"Storyboarding" is also known as the director's script, and the director has to draw his own shooting ideas in a small grid according to the text script.

The content covers scenes, camera movements, duration, soundtracks, and picture content, which is very trivial and complex.

It not only tests the director's ability to schedule the shots, but also tests the painters.

Generally speaking, the sub-shots drawn by directors are all comic book style, not seeking aesthetics, but only easy to understand.

The most awesome thing about the Chinese director is Xu Laowei, the storyboard he draws is very visually impactful, and it can be published as a comic!

Yang Qing this...

It's scum!

"If you don't have a good drawing, you can find a storyboard to draw, isn't your storyboard very good!"

“... Small investment, if you can save it, you can save it. ”

"Big brother, on the day of the start-up, we are going to see the third master together, so you will show this to others?"

“... Third Master?"

"The release of our drama is China Film, he is one of the producers, of course we have to look at the storyboard!"

"I'll find someone to fix it right away..."

"Well, you go back to retreat first, the 29th, the opening ceremony, don't forget. ”

......

On February 29th, the opening ceremony of "Nightclub" will be grandly opened at the Media Hotel.

It's not Shanda, the company has sent invitations to many media, but there are definitely not many comes, after all, it's not a big star, a big lineup...

Although Lu Xiaoran is quite popular, the specifications of "Nightclub" are here, a low-cost comedy.

The crew doesn't have much money, and the budget is 4.5 million, but the money that should be spent must be spent.

Holding a start-up ceremony is not a matter of face, but can really play a propaganda role.

The film itself is a commodity, and every effort must be made to get the audience to pay for the ticket, and publicity is crucial.

For the sake of momentum, Lu Xiaoran called Ning Hao as well - Ning Hao didn't like the book of "Night Club", he felt that it was too simple, and he didn't even have his fifth success!

But Xu Zheng and Huang Bo are here, and it's not like he doesn't come...

But he resolutely refused to be a producer - no name!

Grandma's, Lu Xiaoran is not good at forcing others, so she can only let it go.

Backstage, Lu Xiaoran patted Ning Hao's shoulder and asked, "Is "Racing" finished?"

Before Ning Hao could speak, Huang Bo said directly: "... After shearing, it's just the beginning!"

"When's that time?"

Ning Hao thought for a while: "Fancy the arrangement over there, I think it should be able to catch up with the Chinese New Year!"

“... How many months?"

"How many months are you?"

"I'll fight for it, and there should be no problem at the end of November!"

"Then I'll be in January. ”

"Be careful... This year, there are "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" and "Mei Lanfang", both of which will be released in late December!"

"I'm a small cost, it's different from them!"

Ning Hao was a little unimpressed...

Hehe, when "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" is released, you will know that you will regret it...

Turning his head to look at Yang Qing, the latter seemed to be trembling and pushed him: "... What's wrong with you?"

“... I... I'm a little nervous!"

"Nervous about what?"

"That's it, do you think someone will take care of you? I must have asked us Director Lu Da..."Huang Bo took over the conversation, and then changed his Mandarin: "Lu Xiaoran, what are your considerations, why did you take over the work of a rookie director?"

Well, Bogo is a prophet.

In the media interview session after that, the long guns and short guns were all aimed at Lu Xiaoran, and the questions asked were really like what Bo Ge mentioned:

"Lu Xiaoran, what are your considerations, why did you take on the work of a rookie director?"

"Because the script is fun. ”

"I heard that you are also one of the investors in the filming of this movie, and you have heard a lot of money. Now that the film market is not good, have you thought about the risks?"

And to be honest, I'm confident in this movie, it's important whether a movie is good or not, we have a good story, and we have a good cast and the best staff, so I don't think there's a reason for this movie to fail. ”

"Director Lu Xiaoran, why didn't you direct it yourself this time?"

“... Because Director Yang Qing asked me to act, and didn't let me be the director, you have to understand the rules, and the actor will do the actor's thing..."

"So what are your expectations for the box office?"

"Well, if I could, I hope it's 30 million!"

The reporters in the audience were a little surprised, they must have investigated a little before they came: the total investment of "Night Club" is less than 4 million, and the box office is 30 million?

Another "Crazy Stone"?

It just so happened that Ning Hao, the director of "Stone", was also sitting on the stage...

"Director Ning Hao, what do you think of "Night Club"?"
