16. Shoot a short film first
Originally, everyone thought that they would be able to start work again soon, but who knew that Cheng Guochao didn't show his face for three days in a row, and in the end, the producer couldn't stand it anymore and went directly to drag Cheng Guochao out.
You must know that the crew spends a lot of money every day, and the loss of money for a day of shutdown is tens of thousands.
If it's okay for a day or two, after all, Cheng Guochao's name still has this face, but it's not okay after a long time.
When Xu Shi saw Cheng Guochao again, he found that this guy was like a refugee, sloppy, and there was a smell that went straight to the tip of his nose.
"Brother Xu, I still need to trouble you this time. As soon as Cheng Guochao came, he grabbed Xu Shi and said.
Xu Shidao: "What do you say first." ”
"That's right, I have a new idea for the filming of the film these days, but although I am a director, this matter still needs the consent of the investor, so I want you to help shoot a short film, let me show it to the investor, and convince them. Cheng Guochao said expectantly.
Xu Shi thought for a while and said: "Why do you have to let me act, I'm not an actor, and I don't know those things about actors." ”
Seeing that he wanted to refuse, Cheng Guochao was a little anxious and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Xu Shi.
"Don't worry, I know what you want, isn't it just that the martial arts scene needs to meet your expectations, don't worry, although Mingjie's current set of actions is not very good, but there is no problem with shooting, and I can only act in a fighting scene when I go up, I don't understand the rest of the expressions and psychology, so you just let Mingjie play your short film, and I will assist on the side." ”
Cheng Guochao also fell into a daze all of a sudden, or he cared too much about it, and forgot such a simple thing, or in his eyes, Xu Mingjie's play and Xu Shi can't be compared at all, to put it bluntly, Cheng Guochao has never seen someone better than Xu Shi in the entertainment industry.
"Yes, yes, yes, I'm confused, this really has to be played by Xu Mingjie, otherwise there is no way to convince the investor. Cheng Guochao slapped his head and said.
After the matter was settled, Cheng Guochao said apologetically: "I can't pay you a salary for the time being, you know, although the crew is what I say, I am not the only one to say about spending money, but brother, don't worry, I will persuade the investors here, and even if they are unwilling to pay, I will pay you personally." ”
Xu Shi said indifferently: "No, I'm also helping my nephew, it's a help, and I don't need money." ”
I really don't care about this Xu Shi, it's not that he doesn't like money, but in his plan, he just helps Xu Mingjie and Xu Xiaoxiao, which means that he doesn't plan to work in the crew.
After chatting here, Xu Mingjie over there is also ready, there is only Xu Mingjie in today's scene, and several group performers are also ready.
This fight is not according to the original plot, the most important point is to highlight the excitement of the play, and to stand up for Jiang Yue's role in the play.
Therefore, this short film will be shot in three parts, the first part is to show Jiang Yue's chic and uninhibited, a beautiful son.
The second fight scene is to slowly show some of Jiang Yue's ruthless character, which needs to be done without leaving a trace, inadvertently highlighted, and being seen.
In the third paragraph, Jiang Yue directly became the big boss behind the scenes, highlighting Jiang Yue's true face, ruthless, vicious, and unscrupulous.
Cheng Guochao has great expectations for this play, as long as this play is exciting enough, then he is sure to persuade investors and even let them make some additional investments.
And he may also be able to have a real masterpiece, some of his movies also have some good box office, but there is really no masterpiece that can really carry the crown.
Even this "Excalibur" he didn't say that it was a masterpiece at the beginning, although the story was okay, but there were not too many outstanding points.
But now it's different, Xu Shi's appearance opened the door to a new world for him, maybe he can use this movie to enhance his status in the film industry.
Cheng Guochao had already persuaded the producer before coming, so at this moment, Xu Shi has become one of the most powerful people in the crew, because except for Xu Mingjie, all the actors are handed over to Xu Shi to choose, and he will choose whoever he chooses.
Xu Shixian found Lin Li and said to him: "Mr. Lin, do you have any actors who really practice martial arts here, not the kind of actors who can only parry in threes and twos." ”
This can be regarded as a selfish motive on his part, within the scope of his ability, to give some care to these fellow martial arts practitioners.
Of course, no matter who comes to say anything about such a thing, because in Xu Shi's opinion, the best martial arts scenes can be filmed, and if the kind of actor who is soft with punches and kicks can't play the effect he wants.
Lin Li didn't have the slightest dissatisfaction with Xu Shi's role at this moment, or was a little unhappy, but he admired Xu Shi's martial arts attainments very much, so he pressed it down.
"Yes, how many people does Mr. Xu want? I can recommend some here. Lin Li thought for a moment and said.
He originally wanted to talk to Xu Shi, but now that he has the opportunity to go online, he will naturally not hinder him, especially since the director has spoken, and the producer has acquiesced, and he doesn't dare to deliberately find fault.
Xu Shi thought for a while and said: "Call ten people first, and the few people a few days ago are also counted, among them, I remember that one of them is practicing the double dagger of the Hong family, called Cheng Dapeng, this person is also called, by the way, it is best to have one who practices eagle claw skills." ”
Lin Li nodded and said, "Okay, I'll find it for you right away." ”
Lin Li is so mixed up in this circle, and he is also an action director, so he is more familiar with these martial arts group performances than the assistant director who specializes in actors, which is why Cheng Guochao asked Xu Shi to come directly to Lin Li.
Cheng Guochao began to rearrange the crew, this time in an empty venue, specifically to make room for the next short film.
Soon Lin Li's martial arts group performances have all been found, among which Cheng Dapeng is extremely excited, it seems that he chatted with Xu Shi in vain that day, look, this opportunity has come.
Although they are still performing in groups, if they really act well and enter the director's eyes, maybe they can mention it this time.
And even if it doesn't work, this filming is also earned, this time according to the price code given by the special actor.
There is also the first time, so I have a capital, and I will have a greater opportunity to take over the drama in the future.
