Chapter 127: Carrying Out the Drama to the End (2/10)
In fact, the story of "Panic Gun Walking" belongs to the hard one, first there are characters, and then the story is made up...
Making up a story about Guizhou was an idea that Rao Xiaozhi had after listening to Yao Shisan's "The Blind Man".
At the beginning, the tone of "Panic Gun Walking" was nostalgia!
After returning to Beijing, he found screenwriter Lei Zhilong and wanted to talk about "nostalgia" from the starting point of people.
Rao Xiaozhi and Lei Zhilong have created a large number of characters, and tens of thousands of words have been written in the biographies alone, but they are independent of each other and have no connection.
Then, they racked their brains and began to weave together the clues of these characters...
The character of Wang Shuncai, a middle-aged sling, earns a living by collecting rent, so he wants to marry a woman, as long as he is a woman, so he fell in love with Ma Jiaqi who was paralyzed in a chair...
Including Wang Yanhui's cleverness, they all have complete clues, but for the sake of the protagonist of the whole story, their clues cannot be presented completely...
Anyone who writes knows that they don't want to take away any character!
And for the sake of "Panic Gun Walking", half of the characters have been sacrificed...
Therefore, even if Wang Shuncai's line can only be implicitly pointed, he is reluctant to take it away...
Chen Jianbing actually didn't want to take away the character of Wang Shuncai, he felt that this was real enough!
Otherwise, where did Ma Xianyong get the money to make a down payment?
Where is the time to take care of my sister?
There has to be a man who takes care of her all the time...
You think it's real, but the audience feels disgusting!
You stepped on a horse and disabled your sister, and then married your sister to a middle-aged sling for money, do you think the audience will like such a male protagonist?
Will there be empathy?
Okay, take 10,000 steps back, you can explain, I want to find someone to take care of my sister...
Forget it, it's impossible for the audience to take a step back...
Anyway, Shen Ming felt disgusted when he read this paragraph!
With an investment of 50 million, the Venice actor joined, and this film is going to be sold for money!
Not a personal expression.
first persuaded the producers Zhang Miao, Han Jianu and Yang Xin - by the way, Zhang Miao is also the producer of "The Wandering Earth", and Han Jianu is the pearl of the third master...
then talked about Chen Jianbing, and finally the two found the director together...
The problem is that the nine holes have already entered the group!
Shen Ming nodded: "... I blame me for this, although I felt disgusting at first, it also felt real, and I didn't think much about it, but the more I think about it in the past few days, the more awkward I feel..."
Chen Jianbing proposed: "It's really not good, let's pay the salary, but is it okay to cut the scene?"
Rao Xiaozhi shook his head: "... Then you have to tell him in advance, isn't this tantamount to cheating people?"
The two pondered for a moment, and the Chinese opera brothers glanced at each other, then looked at Shen Ming, revealing a smile of unknown meaning...
“… Don't look at me, I'm not going to be this wicked person!"
……
Half an hour later, in Jiukong's room, Shen Ming bowed and said, "Teacher Jiukong, I'm really sorry, we didn't think it through before." ”
"It's okay, let's work together next time!"
“… Mr. Jiukong, you are too angry..."
All kinds of apologies, Jiukong kept smiling, and then Shen Ming withdrew from the room...
it...
……
Ren Suxi and Wan Qian knew that the story line of Jiukong had been cut in the morning, and the initiator was Shen Ming!
How to put it, there is an extra layer of fear...
The script branched, and it was cut when it was said!
Directors and producers stand up to him!
Wan Qian, who was putting on makeup, stopped the staff who were talking, and then explained to Ren Suxi: "... He used to be like this, the script must be logical, we filmed "Glory of the Tang Dynasty", which was originally going to be made into 70 episodes, but he cut it into 53 episodes..."
"So domineering?"
"It can't be said to be overbearing, it turns out that he is right, he feels that the redundant branches are indeed for the purpose of gathering a number of strong plugs..."
Of course, Ren Suxi understands what this concept is, and she has also filmed TV series.
"The producer spoils him so much?"
“… There is no way, his salary for acting in "Glory of the Tang Dynasty" has almost been halved, and this time "The Nameless" is also accepted at a low price of 2 million!"
"That's right!"
Ren Suxi nodded...
"However, you can rest assured, he must be very reassuring to you, otherwise, he would have found fault a long time ago!"
"Finding fault?"
“… It's just that it's not picking on you in every possible way, forcing you to work hard..."
After chatting for a few words, Shen Ming, who was wearing a cockscomb, brought someone to the dressing room: "Sister Qian, Sister Ren, this is Teacher Sun Haidong, a very famous lighting director in the industry!"
“… Hello Mr. Sun!"
Wan Qian and Ren Suxi were a little confused.
"Okay, we all know each other, Mr. Sun, let's go see the scene?"
After speaking, Shen Ming led Sun Haidong to the filming site...
"He... He hired a gaffer?"
"It seems that I have endured the lighting of the crew to the extreme!"
That's right, Shen Ming has had enough!
The gaffer of "Nobody" is so bad that even he, who knows a little bit about lighting, can find a bunch of faults.
He didn't take the time to teach others how to cover the shading, how to adjust the chromaticity, how to play natural light according to the temperature difference...
Simply Shen Ming invited Mr. Sun Haidong, who had worked with him before...
Generally, gaffers have their own teams, and Sun Haidong's team has at least a dozen people!
Rao Xiaozhi was a little resistant at first, but after taking a few shots, he looked at the monitor, and it was indeed more textured...
And then just let it go...
By the way, the money that invited Sun Haidong to go to the crew's account, and Shen Ming is also one of the producers.
……
It's mid-April.
"Operation Red Sea" was completely offline, with a cumulative box office of 4.02 billion, ranking second in film history, and Minghui Company received 80 million box office shares, in addition to investment accounts, there is also Shen Ming's compensatory box office account...
This investment is definitely not as good as "Wolf Warrior 2", the return on investment of "Wolf Warrior 2" is close to ten times, and "Operation Red Sea" is only 400%...
By the way, the movie with the highest ROI last year was "Iron Fist of Shame", with a return on investment of nearly 20 times...
"Bursting Drummer" was released last week, with a cumulative box office of 602 million.
This result is okay, after all, it's not like a Hollywood blockbuster...
The mainland box office of "Black Panther" will surpass that of "Bursting Drummer", 612 million...
The best performing film in the market recently is Ready Player One.
Spielberg, who is over seventy years old, plays special effects films and teaches him to be a man again!
The success of "Ready Player One" boosted the director's global box office to break $10 billion!
It's really awesome, one person has rewritten the history of North American film twice, and in his old age, he can still burst out with such powerful energy!
"Jaws" directly determined the birth of Hollywood's summer file;
"Jurassic Park" sparked a global special effects frenzy, and its external impact far exceeded that of "Star Wars" back then...
Throughout April, domestic films were in various downturns, and the market did not improve, and a bunch of marketing trumpets advocated what "These Nine Indian High-Scoring Movies Can Almost Beat the Whole of Asia", and few viewers bought it...
On the contrary, it has caused a large number of people to discuss that the plot of the so-called Indian god film is too similar, as always, religious and cultural contradictions, institutional criticism, and women's status, simply put, tearing off the scars for people to see.
It's okay to watch it a few times, but after reading it, I feel tired of it...
