Chapter 4 Shoot a 'normal' film

This 'stand out' is a bit of a surprise for Hai Da Fat.

So much so that after I went back, I couldn't sleep at night, and I spent the whole night thinking about some lines to say when I interviewed Jiangbei the next day.

For example, "Thanks to the trust of the investors, I will live up to my expectations and strive to make a high-quality film to repay the investors." ”

Another example: "In ancient times, there were thousands of miles of good horses because of Bole, and the three extensions were sold at a price, and now there are millions of investors to choose directors, regardless of the black history." ”

Of course, I also want to explain by the way that I once made a movie with a score of less than 4.0.

It's just that when he came to the 'Mood Farmhouse' with a nervous and excited mood, he found that all these preparations were in vain.

"The filming of the movie can be done according to your 'normal level', but I have two conditions: first, the things I invest in must be kept secret from anyone, and second, the heroine must be personally designated by me. ”

Jiangbei invited Hai Da Fat to sit down and began to fiddle with his tea set from his father-in-law's house.

Warm tea, wash cups, place tea, wash tea, pour water, soak, and make tea.

A series of processes are pleasing to the eye.

It's a pity that Hai Da Fat's mind is not here, he is all about reminiscing about what the investor said just now.

There is nothing wrong with the first secrecy, in fact, investors like investors will not pay much attention to the movie before it is released.

There is no problem with the second one, usually investors investing in a film will more or less arrange some characters to come in, which is unavoidable.

But these are harmless, designate the heroine, designate the heroine, in the end, I carry the title of a 4.0 rated director, and I will not have any confidence to speak.

Thinking of this, Hai Dapang continued to ask: "Then may I ask Brother Jiang, do you have a script ready to shoot here?"

Screenplay?

Jiang Bei frowned when he heard this, picked up the teacup and slowly took a sip of tea, and then said: "Go to the script market to find a copy, and the cost will be deducted from the budget funds." ”

Speaking of this, Jiangbei took out a card from his arms and handed it over.

"Inside is a million, budget funds for filming films. ”

The two parties had already signed a contract at the film and television base yesterday, and he was not worried that Hai Da Pang would run away with the money.

"Shopping for a ......" Hai Da Fat was stunned, and his heart almost collapsed.

Are today's investors so casual?

Directly ask the director to go to the script market to buy scripts?

Aren't you afraid of a bad script?

But as soon as I thought about the shooting funds, I released them again.

In fact, Hai Da Fat doesn't think that one million can shoot anything good.

Of course, he didn't seem to be qualified to say that.

"Then do you have any suggestions for the subject matter of the script and the direction of the film?" Hai Da Pang accepted the bank card and asked cautiously.

Although the investment funds are small, the attitude towards shooting a film is still correct and serious, which is the basic quality that a professional director needs to have.

There was once a best director in Azure Star who said: You can't decide the final box office of the film, but you can definitely decide the quality of the film.

"You just have to do what you want. Jiangbei naturally drank tea, as if he was not interested in the filming of the film at all.

What this means is to delegate power, and the director decides everything in the film.

Except for the heroine.

"That heroine is ......" Hai Da Fat finally mentioned the most critical place.

Jiangbei also came to his senses when he heard this, gently tapped on the table, looked at the green bamboo outside, and said, "My wife is a star." ”

The investor's wife!

Hai Da Fat's heart suddenly dawned, it turned out that he was trying to support his wife.

Then he's going to have to put on a good show.

"But ......" Hai Da Fat didn't speak yet, but he heard the next sentence from the investor:

"I hope this is the last work of her acting career, can you see what I mean?"

The last work?

Hai Da Fat was stunned for a moment, a little bit uncomprehensible.

At this time, Jiang Bei took out a copy of Li Youqing's resume from the army's green canvas satchel on the side and handed it to Hai Da Fat: "You take a look first." ”

Hai Da Pang took the resume and read it carefully.

First look at the photos.

It's beautiful.

I envy investors who can marry such a beautiful wife.

But he really doesn't have any impression of this face, it doesn't seem to be famous?

You must know that as a director, it is basic to be familiar with the big and small stars in the entertainment industry, and if you have no impression like this, you can basically conclude that you are a very unknown star.

Continuing to read the information, it also verified Hai Da Fat's speculation that although the investor's wife participated in the filming of many film and television dramas, she participated in the roles of supporting roles, vases, and dragon sets.

Not to mention the protagonist, even the average second and third women have never acted.

"It's no wonder that investors would want to invest in a film themselves. Hai Da Fat thought.

Combined with what the investor said before, he guessed that it should be the investor's wife who is extremely difficult on the road to becoming a star, after all, there is no starring work, so the investor took out one million to create such a starring work for his wife.

So this should be a 'dream movie'.

A movie in which the wife of a round star is the heroine.

As for why it is the last work, the wife who wants to come to the investor is already disheartened and plans to choose to quit the entertainment industry after realizing her dream.

Suddenly, Hai Da Fat felt the burden on his shoulders become heavier.

The significance of this movie is very deep, and it is worth him to put aside the cost of the movie, the final box office, and the contemptuous attitude, and treat it with his heart.

Because this movie carries two people...... Oh no, it's the wish of three people.

It's exciting to think about.

Holding back the excitement in his heart, Hai Da Fat looked at Jiang Bei and replied firmly: "Brother Jiang, don't worry, I understand." ”

"Do you really understand?" Jiang Bei confirmed repeatedly.

"First, the matter of Brother Jiang's investment must be kept secret from anyone, including your wife.

Second: Shoot this movie with heart. ”

Hai Da Fat repeated his understanding.

"Actually, you can shoot at a normal level. Jiangbei reminded.

It's not good for him to say that inviting Hai Da Fat to come is to make a bad movie, which is a bit hurtful.

But in Hai Dapang's view, this is an encouragement, a kind of boss who doesn't want to put too much work pressure on his subordinates, so he comforts him like this.

"Brother Jiang, don't worry, I understand what you mean. ”

"Well, let's do it. Also, pay attention to budget funds and don't overspend. ”

"Okay, Brother Jiang. Hai Dapang carefully wrote down every piece of advice.

"That's right. Jiangbei thought for a while and reminded euphemistically: "I think you can try to forget the history of films that have been made with a score below 4.0, if you can't forget it for the time being, you can hide it as a little secret and not mention it to outsiders." In this way, it is also convenient for you to shoot next. ”

"Brother Jiang!" Hai Da Fat instantly burst into tears, he didn't expect investors to think so much about themselves.

is the so-called death for a confidant, when you meet such a good investor, not only do you not dislike that you have made bad movies, but you even think of some troubles that may be caused by making bad movies, and put forward suggestions to avoid them.

Hai Dapang felt that if he didn't work hard to make a sincere work, he would be sorry for Jiangbei's 'Wisdom and Knowledge'.

Thinking too much.

I'm afraid that Li Youqing will know that you are a director who makes bad movies!

But this must not be said directly, Jiang Bei took a sip of the teacup and said, "Go ahead, hurry up and start work." ”

"Yes, Brother Jiang!"

……

Hai Da Fat left with an excited and determined heart.

The mood of the farmhouse is calm again.

"Brother, is this person reliable?" Liang Liang walked over to change the teapot, looked at the back of Hai Da Fat leaving, and asked in a low voice.

"Have you seen "Santa Claus", which was released last Christmas? After a pause, Jiangbei added: "Tens of millions of investment, 80,000 box office." ”

"I was still begging under the flyover last Christmas, where can I afford to go to the movies? After speaking, the topic of Liangliang turned back, and he exclaimed: "But to be able to shoot such a disparity in the box office, I'm afraid it's difficult for him to make a good film, right?"

That's true.
