Chapter 67: To Tianjing

The crew is finally back on track after a couple of things in the first few days.

Zhao Lei took over as the director of production, and he didn't come up to burn three fires like Tang An.

After obtaining Tang An's approval, they were allowed to get their fair share.

Tang An is not a stingy person, that little money should be regarded as a bonus for them, as long as nothing goes wrong in the back, everything is easy to say.

Everything was resolved peacefully, and the various departments rechecked the bills, and finally summarized them to Xu Ruoyun.

Those producers didn't dare to complain, after all, this was unruly, and they went too far, and Tang An didn't continue to pursue it, thank God!

The crew stabilized, and Xu Jinglei also returned to the crew after ending the promotion of "Letter from a Strange Woman".

In the end, the film received 1.2 million box office on the first day, which was only 100,000 less than the box office of "Shark Beach" on the first day.

In the first three days of the weekend, "Letter from a Strange Woman" collected 4.6 million at the box office, and there is no doubt that it has become the weekly box office champion.

However, the audience of this type of movie is really not good, it immediately fell to 800,000 on Monday, and the potential was exhausted after half a month of release, and the final box office could exceed 10 million.

Xu Jinglei has also become a director of tens of millions!

The 100 million yuan club is still a very high threshold at this time, and even 10 people can't get together, and there are definitely not many directors who have directed tens of millions of box office.

Teng Huatao and Lu Chuan, who were touted by the media before, did not have this achievement.

Naturally, Xu Jinglei has also become a leader of the new generation of directors, and her name is even more famous than Tang An.

After all, people are more famous and more well-known among fans,

In mid-March, Tang An received a notice from Han Sanping that it docked at the mouth of the Tianjing Haihe River, and the cruise ship in Tianjing Port was already in place, and the crew could go over to shoot.

Time was limited, and the other party only gave 1 week to shoot, Tang An immediately sent the liaison producer Wang Zhenguo and the art director Chen Jinhe to Tianjing with the set team overnight.

And Tang An then took the crew to clean up and get on the bus to Tianjing.

Tang An, who was leaning on the seat to read the storyboard script, suddenly spoke up, "Lao Zhao!"

"Eh, Director Tang!" Zhao Lei, who was finishing his recuperation, woke up immediately.

"How's it going for you to do it!"

"Director Tang, before I came, I had already contacted the advertising department of China Film at the base, and I was ready to print and produce posters at any time. ”

"The China Film Propaganda Department is also ready and has begun to lay posters in various cities across the country, and has also sent people to prepare a large number of advertorials according to your wishes!" Zhao Lei replied one by one.

"That's good, when the time comes, you remember to pass them on after the footage is filmed, get it done as soon as possible, and follow it more!"

After Tang An finished speaking, he leaned back on his seat and closed his eyes.

The title of a movie is equivalent to a person's name.

determines the audience's first impression of this film.

It's like a book, the title is the first thing the reader sees.

So at the very least, the title of the book should match the article, think about the potential audience of your book, and choose an attractive title.

For example, "The Sticky Master of the School Flower", the school flower is close-knit, and it makes people think about it.

The titles of the books are ambiguous, literary, and easy to understand.

Of course, there are also some more bizarre ones, such as "Lao Tzu is a toad".

This is the willfulness of the great gods of others!

"Horror Cruise" is like a book title, and the potential audience of the movie is horror movie lovers, and this title is enough to attract the attention of 90% of the audience.

The other is the poster, which is equivalent to a human face.

No matter what era, the first sight is the face after all, and no matter how talented you are, you will inevitably be rejected by ugliness.

Posters are the easiest and most effective way to promote a movie, at least in this day and age.

The original poster of "Horror Cruise" was good, and Tang An didn't plan to change it.

Take a picture of the poster in the gap between shooting, promote it first, and don't let the popularity of the movie fade.

At noon, the crew rushed to Tianjing Port, the port with the largest throughput in the Bohai Sea and even northern China.

As far as the eye can see, ships of different tonnages are neatly docked in the port, and maintenance personnel are doing maintenance on the cruise ship.

The target of their trip was an ocean-going cruise ship, and Wu Deming, deputy director of China Film Production Department, was waiting there, talking to the captain.

Tang An got out of the car, asked Zhao Lei to take someone to move all the equipment down, and walked forward quickly, "Mr. Wu, I'm sorry for you to run in person!"

"Haha, I'm just serving you crews, what's the trouble, Director Tang, let me introduce you, this Mr. Li is the captain of this cruise ship, you can ask him if you have any questions in the future!" Wu Deming introduced.

"Hello Mr. Li, I'm sorry for your trouble!"

"There's no trouble, the big director can come to us to film, I can't ask for it!" Mr. Li laughed.

"That's it, in order not to delay Mr. Li's time, I want to start shooting now, Mr. Li will appreciate the light in the evening, I will invite you to have a meal!" Tang An smiled.

"No problem, we're here to help!"

Then Tang An took people to find a suitable place to shoot their scene at sea, and some of the rest of the people got on the cruise ship and drove to the edge of the port to get ready.

Half of the filming progress of the crew has passed, after more than half a month of running-in. It's been very tacitly cooperative.

The generator drove over, set up the lights, set up a makeshift dressing room, a rocker camera, a track camera, and the monitor was also placed in the right position and adjusted.

Half an hour, everything is ready, and shooting begins.

"Sixth, one shot, one time!"

"Let's go!"

With Tang An's order, the shooting team of dozens of people slowly ran up.

Lu Yi was preparing to go to sea on a yacht, and the photographer slowly moved up from the bottom to the top from the calm sea, freezing in a position parallel to Lu Yi.

Not far from the shore, Deng Chao, Sun Li, and Zhou Hong walked towards the yacht, each carrying a gift in their hands.

"Hey, Old Zhou!"

Lu Yi got up slowly, and the camera slowly moved up with him, following his gaze to the oncoming three.

"Click!"

"Lao Zhang, the camera is slowly zooming in, and the second few are shooting Lu Yi on the opposite side!"

The photographer made a slight mistake, as the actor walked in, the camera should be slowly zooming in, and the shot just now seemed to be the same distance from the actor.

Zhang Yiping looked back, realized his problem, and raised his hand embarrassedly.

"I'm sorry, Director Tang!"

Tang An nodded, but didn't say anything.

Filming continues.

Today is the day they go to the sea to play, Tang Chao and Qiao Li want to introduce a girlfriend to Zhou Yi, which is the role played by Zhou Hong.

However, when Lu Yi was about to say hello to Zhou Hong, Chen Mei, played by Xu Jinglei, walked away from the shore with a deranged look.

The first reincarnation at the beginning of the film, the "beginning" of everything.
