Chapter 49: Incense
"Okay, let's go back and take a look. ”
Ning Hao didn't bother, Lu Yi borrowed 10,000 yuan from himself in this short film, and it was normal for him to want to see the effect.
I made a short film myself, which was originally for people to see.
Lu Yi has already made two movies, and he knows a lot better than he should in this regard.
"I think it's better to be in the countryside now. When I have the money, I plan to buy a few hundred acres of land in the countryside and build myself a farm and a luxury villa. ”
On the way from the city to the countryside, Ning Hao looked at the scenery on the side of the road, as well as the various wild animals that flew by or ran on the road from time to time, and his mood suddenly became comfortable.
The oppressive feeling in the city was swept away.
"I also have this idea, and I plan to expand my family's farm a little more, and then stay in the countryside and rest for a while. ”
Lu Yi agrees with this.
Although the city has all kinds of living facilities, it does not have the tranquility and comfort of the countryside.
When the two returned to Lu Yi's house, it was getting late, and Lu Yi's mother had already prepared dinner. Lu Yi introduced Ning Hao to his mother, and then ate together.
"Let's go, let's go to the ancestral hall in the village. ”
After having dinner at Lu Yi's house, Ning Hao followed Lu Yi to the village to borrow the projector, and after a simple installation, the two finished watching Ning Hao's short film in the ancestral hall.
said that it was a short film, but in fact, the time was not short, and the two watched it for more than an hour.
"The film was originally over 90 minutes long, but after the last time we met and talked, I re-edited it, and that's what it is now. ”
After the short film, Ning Hao introduced it to Lu Yi.
This movie belongs to Ning Hao's debut film, and the beginning version is a bit redundant, especially at the beginning.
After discussing the relevant issues with Lu Yi, and getting enough funds, this guy went back and re-edited it, which is the current version.
There is only one main character, an unknown actor.
The other actors are similar, they are all actors who are not well-known, I guess this guy is looking for someone in the mountain city.
However, the cost of this short film should be about the same as his own "Twelve Angry Men".
After all, there are a lot of actors used in this movie, although they are all group performances.
In addition, there are more scenes than in "Twelve Angry Men".
"This short film is very good, but it is shorter and more realistic. If it is released in theaters, I am afraid that it will not make much money, and those theaters may not be willing to show it. ”
After listening to Ning Hao's introduction, Lu Yi was silent and replied.
Compared with the first movie in Kunding, Ning Hao's movie is more realistic, and the movie is shorter, and the general theater chain is probably not willing to show it.
"It's okay to participate in the film festival, but I still recommend that if you go to the youth film festival, you should be able to win an award, and maybe have a chance to sell the video rights. It seems that after coming out of school, your craft has not been left behind. ”
Ning Hao's movie is about a Taoist priest who runs around to build a Taoist temple, and his name is incense.
The Taoist temple was in tatters, and the Taoist priest sought wealth everywhere to cultivate the Taoist temple, and went through various tosses along the way.
After he asked for enough money, he repaired the Taoist temple, but when he ran into the construction of a road, the Taoist temple became the object of demolition.
"What are you going to do next year?"
Ning Hao felt that it should be impossible for Lu Yi to make another movie this year, this is about to be the New Year, and Lu Yi will not make a movie at this time.
"I have a few little ideas now, and it just so happens that you're here, so let's figure it out first, and then you can help me shoot something. ”
Lu Yi wanted to shoot the scene of a few dogs in his house, but he couldn't shoot it alone, because he wanted to command those dogs to do some actions, so he hit Ning Hao with his idea.
When he directs those dogs to do the movements, he needs someone who understands to take those pictures according to his own intentions, and he needs those things.
"Uh...... Isn't that a bit fast? "Immortals Are Crazy" is still being released, and you're going to make a new movie?"
After listening to Lu Yi's words, Ning Hao looked surprised.
"Not a new movie, just some ideas. Let's try it now, and if it works well, we can make it a movie next year. If not, forget it. ”
Lu Yi replied embarrassedly, he really just tried it now, and he wasn't sure whether he wanted to shoot or not.
If the command of a few dogs in the house is too troublesome and cannot achieve the effect he wants, Lu Yi will give up shooting.
"The box office of "Immortals Are Crazy" on the first day is out! 30 million, this movie may break 1 billion, do you want to come over to participate in the announcement?"
The two chatted for a while, and when Lu Yi and Ning Hao packed up the projectors, Zhang Xiaoya gave Lu Yi a phone call, and her tone was a little excited.
In fact, the box office on the first day has already come out.
The real-time data has been updated on Time Online early in the morning, but Lu Yi is busy today, he didn't watch it online, and he didn't call Zhang Xiaoya to ask.
is different from the box office situation when "Twelve Angry Men" was released, which will make Lu Yi's pocket rise, and how the box office of "Immortals Are Crazy" is, he doesn't care so much.
"I don't have time, you let Zhang Han and Huang Bo participate, I won't go. By the way, you can have someone call Li Su over and join the publicity team together. ”
With the popularity of "Immortals Are Crazy", several actors in the movie also became popular.
Zhang Xiaoya wants to increase publicity efforts, and it is enough for a few actors to publicize it.
Among these actors, the most popular is Li Su, and the flat-headed brother.
Li Sun's honest performance has attracted countless fans.
And Brother Pingtou relies on his character of preferring to die rather than giving up revenge, which makes many people feel interesting.
It's okay that Brother Pingtou can't come over to participate in the publicity, otherwise the effect will be better.
"This has been arranged, and Li Su will be able to arrive in three days. If you can also join the publicity team, it is estimated that the box office of the movie will be better. You know, you're on fire now! A lot of people want to see you. ”
Lu Yi's fire has little to do with the movie fire.
His popularity is because of the words of the director of "Jade is Crazy".
"Jade is also crazy" is a small-budget film that grossed six million on the first day.
"God is Crazy" costs less, but the box office on the first day is 30 million, far more than "Jade is Crazy".
Put the two movies together, whether it is the plot, the cost, or the box office of the movie, the contrast gap is too big.
At the beginning, the director of "Jade is Crazy" said that he was very confident in his films, and he faintly looked down on Lu Yi's movies.
When "God is Crazy" began to be promoted, it was also boycotted by many filmmakers and received various bad reviews.
Now someone has taken a screenshot of the picture that the director of "Jade is Crazy" said that he is confident in his movie, and then put the box office of the two movies together, and after this picture came out, it quickly became popular.
