Chapter 30: The Little Apple
"Uh...... Li Su: He can do it? He can't even speak Mandarin, and he's never acted in a movie, so how can you let him make a movie?"
It's not that Huang Bo doesn't look down on Li Su, but Li Su has always stayed in the tribe, and his biggest dream is that he has a few cattle and sheep to live an ordinary life.
I don't even know a word, and I can't speak Chinese, so let him act in a movie, how to act?
"Hehe, he only needs to act in his true colors, and nothing else. ”
Li Su on the side knew that Lu Yi was talking about himself, but he didn't understand Lu Yi's words very well, so he could only smile honestly on the side.
In this way, it is very distinctive, and this is what Lu Yi likes.
Li Su and these modern people can only communicate simply, and for more complex things, they still need the help of professional translators at the base.
"Oh, and what's the name of this movie? Jungle People are crazy too?"
is not the protagonist, which makes Huang Bo a little disappointed, and Zhang Han on the side is similar.
However, Lu Yi promised them to invest in this movie together, so that they could regain a sense of loss.
"No, it's called "Immortals Are Crazy". ”
Lu Yi smiled and took out the script.
This movie is a little different from "God is Crazy" in Lu Yi's mind, and he has changed a lot.
After all, that's God, this is a Taoist immortal, it's different.
"Sure enough, it's still a familiar taste. ”
Originally, I was worried that Lu Yi would swell and make some movies with his own characteristics.
However, after hearing the name of the new movie, Zhang Han breathed a sigh of relief.
This is another movie that follows the trend!
It's good to follow the trend, at least it can attract some moviegoers who like "Jade is Crazy", so that the box office will not be bad.
Once the reputation is guaranteed, it is possible to become a hit.
After all kinds of things were ready, Lu Yi and the others began to shoot "Immortals Are Crazy".
The general idea of the script follows the recent popular "Jade is Crazy", well, even the name is very similar, this is Zhang Han and Huang Bo's first impression.
The cost of the film is still very low, and the price is outrageously low.
The camera is borrowed, and the actors are extras.
Huang Bo and Zhang Han starred, and several people brought by Zhang Han starred, including some people from the base.
Their salary, a hundred yuan a day to earn extra yuan, these people are very happy.
The main supporting roles Huang Bo and Zhang Han are not paid, in addition to participating, they also have to assist in filming.
They have an investment in this one, and they take a share directly.
The only supporting role with a salary of more than 1,000 is Zhang Han's female assistant, with the title of a friendly cameo.
Because she is very big and very distinctive.
The starring role is a jungle man who has never seen the world, with a salary of 2,000.
Although it was only two thousand yuan, Li Su felt that it was already a lot, and he was very satisfied.
And Lu Yi also promised that if the box office is good, he can also give him a big red envelope to compensate.
The bulk of all the costs are the film and layout, all added up, this is just a little more than "Twelve Angry Men".
Because this movie was shot outdoors, the cost and difficulty of shooting were much higher.
"Wait, can I have something to say?"
As the only person in the crew who has experience as an actor, Huang Bo feels that he should be the most vocal person.
"What do you want to say?"
The filming progress of the movie was much better than Lu Yi imagined, so Lu Yi was in a good mood, and when he saw that Huang Bo had an opinion, Lu Yi stopped.
"Isn't Zhang Han and I a little too ashamed to dress up now? And it doesn't seem to have much to do with the plot. ”
Seeing that he was dressed in women's clothes, and he was still dressed like Ma Daha, Huang Bo asked Lu Yi tangledly.
What they are shooting now is a video of a song, and Lu Yi asked Huang Bo to make up a song.
The song is a good song, simple and with a strong sense of rhythm.
It's just that why does he have to make a video of his singing clothes? and do some strange movements?
The people next to him looked at Huang Bo's dress, and they all looked like they wanted to laugh, which made him feel more and more entangled.
"Is this song good?"
Lu Yi didn't explain, but asked rhetorically.
"Great, but what does it have to do with my women's clothing?"
Huang Bo doesn't quite understand, whether the song is good or not, what does it have to do with his women's clothing?
"Of course it matters, this song is good, won't you follow the fire then? In order to be popular, shouldn't you make some sacrifices? This song is used to promote the movie, if you perform well, the movie may be popular by then, and you can still earn a lot of votes. ”
In fact, Lu Yi has been hesitant to use this song, as Huang Bo said, this song has little to do with the movie.
But when he was filming, he chatted with Zhang Xiaoya.
Zhang Xiaoya said that let Lu Yi get some flowers out, so that they can be used for publicity.
After Huayi's two movies made a lot of money, they are now confident in terms of publicity and distribution resources.
Lu Yi, who was not going to make a new movie, suddenly came up with a new film, and Zhang Xiaoya, who was a little inflated, was pleasantly surprised, so she wanted to promote it and strive to make a big profit.
Lu Yi thought about it, and was ready to shoot this song as a promotional film.
By the way, Huang Bo and Zhang Han showed their faces.
The place where the video was shot is where the movie was filmed, and there will be some plots, which are spoofed fiercely, just echoing the movie.
Whether it has an effect or not, Lu Yi doesn't know very well, but it doesn't cost much to shoot anyway, it's all crude props and sets, so he simply took it out.
"Uh......"
Huang Bo had a feeling that Lu Yi was right, and he himself couldn't refute it at all.
"Okay, stop grinding, shoot quickly. After filming, I returned to China early, and then I had to record and post-process in the house. ”
Lu Yi waved his hand and drove Huang Bo back to sing and dance with Zhang Han in front of the camera.
"You're my little apple......"
The costumes of the two men in the camera are unbearable to watch, and the people around them are desperately laughing.
But the song they sang had a magical power that made everyone want to sing along.
"If this movie does well at the box office, I will have someone send you a big red envelope. At that time, you wanted to buy some land and make a pasture, and there was no problem at all. ”
Lu Yi stayed here for a whole month and a half in the jungle tribe to get the things at hand done, and when they went back, Lu Yi said to Li Su with a smile.
Li Su smiled and said goodbye to Lu Yi.
He didn't plan to leave here with them and go to the big city.
For Li Su, his home is here, and this filming is just a small experience in his life.
And he won't speak outside and have trouble communicating with others.
What Lu Yi said about the red envelope, Li Su didn't understand, he had already received his reward of 2,000 yuan, and he was very satisfied.
