Chapter 132: Finished
October 26th
In a villa on the outskirts of the magic capital, Qingguo, who was holding a divorce agreement in his hand, sat on the ground and hid his face and cried.
The floor was littered with broken glass shards, and several portraits were thrown on the ground, as if they had been subjected to some inhuman devastation.
In contrast, Wu Xiguo, who was guarding behind the monitor, looked at the shot he had just shot over and over again with the corners of his mouth raised.
The male protagonist, who gradually loses his temper in the script, finds that not only is he unable to help the heroine, but also seriously affects the development of her career because of the fact that she is jealous and alcoholic.
One early morning, he left a letter without saying goodbye.
This shot is Qingguo's performance after knowing all this.
From the perspective that Qingguo is still immersed in it after the end of the shot, and from the angle of Wu Xiguo's mouth rising, the situation should be more optimistic.
Wu Xiguo, who was finally sure that there was nothing missing, breathed a sigh of relief, and he suddenly lost his strength and sat down on the director's chair.
"Finished. "Two simple words are like a thousand gold.
This finale is not the completion of one person, but the end of the work of the entire crew.
Zhao Mo on the side was also excited, unlike Wu Xiguo, he was full of energy, and grabbed the megaphone placed on the table.
Almost word by word: "Director Wu said that the crew is finished! Tonight, the people of Sichuan and Chongqing are open to creation." ”
Almost at the same time, the entire crew members all shouted happily.
It didn't take long for the sentimental ones to start sobbing softly.
Crying doesn't have to be sad, but there is also the possibility of joy.
The crew of "The Birth of a Star" is too difficult. The production cost of only 1500W is a test for everyone in the crew.
1500W is really a lot, but for the investment of a commercial film, it is really very stumbling.
From the director to the cleaning aunt, you can feel the embarrassment of the crew.
Most of the staff present were not rookies.
Some of them are the supervisors of Chen Kaige's royal team, and some of them also have work experience in large crews with tens of millions of investments.
Of course, there are also those who follow the ordinary crew to eat and drink without worry.
But no one can deny that when they hear the sound of 'finishing', everyone has their own feelings in their hearts.
"The Birth of a Star" is the growth of directors, actors, and their behind-the-scenes personnel.
They don't deny that they are really tired and busy in this crew, and they have a lot of work as if they can't finish it.
Those who have little money hate to tear one into two.
But... I'm really happy.
They believe that they have definitely done no less than 3000W with 1500W.
This kind of sense of accomplishment can't be given by other crews. The fulfilling work allowed them to find their original intention to enter the industry.
But there is no feast in the world that will not be dispersed, and after all, it has come to this moment of separation.
Familiar people get together in threes, fives, fives, or fives, or exchange contact information, or meet to keep in touch often in the future.
Gu Jun took all this into his eyes, and he was quite satisfied with this group of people, even if they didn't even deserve their names in the circle.
But that's why they cherish every opportunity to work.
If he could, Gu Jun was willing to help Wu Xiguo set up a small team of his own, but the timing was not good.
He can't afford to spend a team right now.
Even if someone came over to greet him and asked if he had this idea, Gu Jun could only refuse bitterly.
But he promised that if he had the chance, he would bring everyone together.
As a result, there are dozens of more contact information on his mobile phone.
The building has not yet been built, but some of the foundation stones are already in place.

Finishing is not the end, but a new beginning, and then there is the busy post-production.
Film and television post-production is to do post-processing of the filmed film to make it form a complete film, and the basic process is a series of work such as initial cutting, formal editing, composition and selection, special effects recording, dubbing and synthesis.
The initial cut involves the ratio of the material to the finished film, which is generally maintained at 1:8~1:20.
In other words, a 90-minute movie has a material length of 720 minutes ~ 1800 minutes.
Of course, this is the rule for the era of film photography.
The cost reduction due to the advancement of digital shooting technology has given directors and actors the idea of trying out more possibilities.
The ratio of film material to finished film will increase. For example, the feature film of "The Birth of a Star" should be 120 minutes, and the material is as high as 3,600 minutes.
Digital storage is indeed expensive, but compared to previous years when only film could be used, it is still much cheaper, or even negligible.
IN THE FILM ERA, A BOX OF 35MM FILM THAT CAN SHOOT FOUR MINUTES CAN REACH MORE THAN 3,000 YUAN FOR PURCHASE COST + PRINTING COST.
A film spends more than one million on film, which is still a control ratio, and some directors' materials can reach 60:1 or even 100:1.
Of course, few directors can be so capricious, except for Jiang Wen.
Jiang Wen is very happy to make movies, but it is quite unhappy to be his investor, and the producers in his movies are almost a batch of movies, and most of them are scared away by his willfulness.
In order to take the Milan photo that Ma Xiaojun longed for, he asked the photographer to shoot it for 4 days, and then selected one of the 23,040 photos.
According to the cost of film, this photo is worth 20W+
In "The Sun Also Rises", in order to make a good job of the crazy mother's embroidered shoes, the staff ran several provinces, integrating different folk skills from all over the world, and the production cost of the shoes exceeded that of a car.
Perhaps this is the origin of the fact that the crew of later generations needed 3,000 yuan to order a hat.
The scene of "Let the Bullets Fly" and "Hongmen Banquet" took 7 days to shoot, using up 100,000 feet of film, which is equivalent to the length of a small movie, and the final cut scene is only 8 minutes.
Jiang Wen said that he was responsible for the audience, so he could only be irresponsible to the investor.
The world remembers his words, 'I just want to stand and earn money'.
Gu Jun also likes "Let the Bullets Fly" very much, but I have to admit that Jiang Wen stands more often and doesn't make money, or except for "Let the Bullets Fly", he makes his partners lose a lot.
Just like the good Wanyan brothers of the brothers, they said that unless the brothers go out of business, they will never invest in Jiang Wen's movies, I have to say that the Wanyan brothers have taken a lot of detours, but this step is not wrong.
Among the major domestic directors, Lao Mouzi is good at controlling big scenes, Chen Kaige is good at the depth of the film, and Jiang Wen is good at artistic and commercial expression, provided that he doesn't let himself go.
Their works all have their own strengths and obvious personal touches, but they also have very obvious disadvantages. For a variety of reasons, they can't prove themselves at the box office.
If calculated according to age, Wu Xiguo is undoubtedly the same generation as Lao Mouzi, Chen Kaige, Jiang Wen and others, but he is just a rookie director.
He didn't dare to hand over the work of the first cut to someone else, which seemed to be unimportant but affected the style of the subsequent film, so he could only look at the 3,600-minute material repeatedly, and knew that it would be cut into 200-300 minutes of rough films.
The second step is the official editing, which is cut to a length similar to that of the film when it was released, but it is still relatively rough, with no special effects shots, no sound, no subtitles, etc.
The third part is to make special effects for lenses that are not well shot or cannot be shot through ordinary shooting.
Adjust all the elements such as lines and narration and subtitles to the right place in the film, and a normal film is born.
Make a digital copy and distribute it to theaters around the world, and then release it, and the fate of a movie is completed.
Of course, these things have little to do with Gu Jun, he only needs to re-record the lines and songs that are not clear.
————————————
Sichuan and Chongqing is a restaurant that integrates Sichuan cuisine and hot pot.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, on the steps of the flower bed at the door, Gu Jun was playing with his mobile phone against a tree.
He was waiting for someone, waiting for Chen Kaige who came from afar.
"Gu Jun, we are here, are you waiting for us?"
Gu Jun, who heard someone shouting from afar, raised his head and found that at the end of the road, Tianxian was walking here with a person's arm.
It's not surprising that the fairy will come to the finale banquet, after all, she is also a member of the crew, even if there are not many scenes.
And she said that she wanted to spend a year to settle down on herself, so she has really grown hair on her body recently.
As an ordinary friend, Gu Jun certainly expressed his support in his heart, although he knew that this was not very useful.
To be fair, although the immortals of later generations were criticized for hitting the streets for fourteen consecutive years, although they all said that her acting skills were too bad.
But I have to say that in fact, her attitude is quite serious, she is very cautious in taking on dramas, and she will never have more than two plays a year.
Although it's not that this is a credit, it's better than Bai Qian's actor who shoots ten plays a year.
Even if Tianxian is very idle this month, he doesn't stay in the crew all the time, and occasionally goes out to shoot a magazine or do publicity for a movie.
It is said that Tianxian is a mother's treasure, but in fact, this is not so accurate, in fact, her mother is very strong, like an old hen guarding chicks, controlling her life.
In her eyes, a twenty-five-year-old fairy was no different from a sixteen-year-old girl.
Afraid that the outside world was a demon who coveted her daughter, she kept urging the immortals to go back, but later found that she couldn't move, so she came when she flew away.
For Gu Jun, who has more contact with immortals, Liu Xiaoli is very disdainful, although she didn't say it explicitly, but her eyes showed everything.
Gu Jun knew that Liu Xiaoli was in the magic capital, but what surprised him was that Liu Xiaoli would come to the start-up banquet.
However, stretching out his hand and not hitting the smiling person, since the heavenly immortal took the initiative to say hello, Gu Jun naturally responded.
Tianxian has a women's suit on the upper body, which is matched with a pure white t-shirt, and the lower body is a space gray hip skirt.
A pair of seven or eight centimeter fish-mouth high heels on her feet, the milky white color reflects her complexion, which matches her temperament.
If her mother wasn't by her side, Gu Jun would have appreciated it and would not hesitate to say a few words of praise and respect for beautiful women.
Now don't talk about verbal flirtation, I don't even dare to look at her eyes, her mother is really amazing.
Liu Tianxian is twenty-five years old this year, and her mother's age is definitely not much younger, she was 53 years old in 1959.
Tianxian said that she is the ugliest one in their family, let's believe her once, Liu Xiaoli may have been born beautiful and difficult to give up, but at this age, you can't accept it.
At least in Gu Jun's opinion, he would never regard Tianxian and her mother as sisters, if you said that there were sisters who were twenty years apart, then I didn't say it.
But I have to admit that Tianxian Ma is definitely a very outstanding group in the stage of her peers.
A titanium-colored off-the-shoulder cheongsam, embroidered with plum blossoms, and a hint of light pink on the petals.
Titanium is brighter than silver, neither comparing the skin color to dull yellow, but also not losing the simple atmosphere.
It can be seen that it is carefully dressed, and a violent, phew, and ladylike atmosphere comes to the face.
Zhou Dunyi said in [Ai Lian Said]: Only Ai Lian is out of the mud but not stained, clear ripples but not demons, straight through the outside, no vines and no branches, fragrant and clear, pavilions and pure plants, can be viewed from a distance and can not be blasphemed.
Tianxian Ma belongs to this kind of typical, sorry, we are not a compliment here, from a distance, Tianxian Ma's clothes are far beyond Tianxian.
But as she got closer, Celestial regained momentum with her young, collagen-rich body, which was very different from her mother's.
Gu Jun, who was smiling sincerely, watched the fairy mother and daughter approach, his eyes contracted like a needle, he put the mobile phone in his pocket, got up and walked forward.
Tianxian was very happy about Gu Jun's intellectual performance, and the corners of her mouth were also upturned, but her mother might not be happy.
Gu Jun's eyes were like a little piglet about to arch her cabbage, and her face was pulled down.
"Gu Jun, right?" asked the Heavenly Immortal Mother, who was standing in place waiting for Gu Jun to approach.
In fact, she just expressed a meaning, and the question just wanted to tell Gu Jun that she didn't remember his name at all.
"Yes, ma'am. Gu Jun, who raised his hand and waved it, replied with a smile.
Then he frowned, he stood in place and looked at Tianxian Mother, only when the other party had something to say to him.
"I'm Tianxian's mother, I must know it, I know that Tianxian is young, beautiful and very successful, and it is very attractive to an age like you, but men still have to focus on their careers. ”
The one-meter-six-five Tianxian mother looked at the one-meter-eight Gu Jun and wanted to look up, even she had to admit that Gu Jun looked good, especially through the current beard, it can be seen that even if he is old, he is also a handsome old guy.
It's a pity that everything is good, but the social status is not equal.
Who is Tianxian, in the eyes of her mother, she is a first-class international star, and Gu Jun is just a male number three in Chen Kaige's movie.
Even if he plays a male lead now, who doesn't know what's going on, it's just a little second-generation ticket with a little spare money.
The tuition fees in the film industry are not cheap, often starting from hundreds of millions, and the families who are not top rich cannot afford to pay at all.
In other words, the son of the real rich family who ran here is suffering from this crime.
As for screenwriters, don't make trouble, when has China paid attention to this profession?
The 53-year-old Tianxian mother who lives as an old fox is not the same thing as the 25-year-old ignorant Tianxian at all, and she has never seen any pickling routines.
Since Gu Jun is not really a second generation, and she is not famous in this industry, then she can't let them be together, she is for the good of the immortals.
Thinking like this, the only trace of guilt in Tianxian Mother's heart disappeared.
