Chapter 454: "Flash Girl" is finished
"I announce that the movie "Flash Girl" is officially completed!"
Zhang Hao came to the center of the set and announced loudly.
Everyone in the crew first breathed a sigh of relief, and then applauded happily.
The crew members hired locally are expressionless, they are all old fritters, and they have long been used to several movies being completed every day on the set.
But the Chinese crew, including Zhang Hao, were very excited, and many of them participated in the filming of a theatrical movie for the first time, which was the first time for them.
The last scene is the rivalry between the male and female protagonists, and it is also the happy ending of the whole play, Zhang Hao deliberately left it for the last shooting to beg for good luck.
Because the character is a high school student, it is not good to have a kiss scene, Zhang Hao's chicken thief designed a scene where the two of them were emotional and wanted to kiss, but were interrupted by the blinding supporting actor, which can be regarded as satisfying the audience's and his own laughter expectations.
Boom!
Zhang Hao opened a bottle of champagne.
The film ended up spending a bit more than the budget, but it wasn't much, it didn't exceed 50 million, and it was still acceptable.
Today I specially took it out to shoot the finale, just to get ready to celebrate.
Lu Qingsong paid out of his own pocket and chartered a local Chinese restaurant to invite everyone to dinner.
Coincidentally, the owner of the restaurant is also surnamed Lu, but he is from Fujian, and the restaurant is Cantonese cuisine, which is relatively high-grade in the local area, and has also received a two-star evaluation of a tire.
"Old Lu! Good wine and good food are ready!
Zhang Hao called Boss Lu in the car.
Everyone in the crew is looking forward to it, everyone still often eats Western food in China, but it is all improved.
After filming here for three months, everyone realized that they still had a Chinese stomach.
It's not that the local food is not delicious, Hollywood is home to filmmakers from all over the world, and there are delicious steakhouses, Mexican restaurants, Indian restaurants, and all kinds of food from all over the world.
However, in order to ensure efficiency, people here generally do not pay much attention to lunch, and the food orders on the set are generally fast food.
There are only a few kinds of fast food here, burgers, hot dogs, sandwiches, pizzas, salads, and better yet, tacos.
The crew was also the same as other crews in the early stage, ordering these things, to be honest, the taste was good, and everyone felt okay.
But after eating for a while, some people can't stand it.
Photographer Lao Xu is from the northwest, after he ate "fake meat buns" for a few days, he finally got a box of salad one day and became emotional, not saying that it was something eaten by livestock, complaining that Zhang Hao abused employees.
He and Zhang Hao are good friends, and he said this in a joking tone, but Zhang Hao also knew that everyone did have emotions.
So, he could only apply to Lu Qingsong to raise the daily food fee to fifty US dollars, at least for a good meal at noon.
There are more than 50 people in the crew, plus nearly 100 local employees, each of whom adds 20 US dollars for food, and it will cost an extra 2,000 dollars a day, or 60,000 dollars a month.
However, this money cannot be saved, people are iron, rice is steel, and eating well will greatly affect the working state.
Lu Qingsong waved his pen and agreed.
So, for more than a month before the finale, the crew ordered takeaway directly from Boss Lu.
More than 50 people filled the lobby of the restaurant, and today it was Boss Lu who personally cooked a few tables of authentic Chinese dishes for them.
The young man who played the male lead shouted for wine, and wanted to drink the director down to avenge the revenge on the set.
A few photographers bragged that they were going to get a call from a large Yanmar, and that they might have an affair before leaving.
Finally the work is over, and everyone is happy.
Lu Qingsong chatted with Zhang Hao.
"If you're really interested, next time I'll direct, you can be my assistant director. Zhang Hao said.
"I, I haven't studied directing......" Lu Qingsong shook his head.
"Hey, you've been in the crew for so long, don't you understand?" Zhang Hao smiled and put his arm around his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Didn't I learn it either......?"
He lowered his voice and said, "Believe it or not, just the three months you have been on the set, you know enough things to go back to be a TV drama director." ”
", right?" Of course Lu Qingsong didn't believe it.
Zhang Hao laughed: "You don't understand." ”
He took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "I'm talking about the nominal director." ”
"What kind of nominal director?" Lu Qingsong asked suspiciously.
"You know what? Many TV drama directors don't know how to direct at all, and many scenes are shot by photographers. He pointed at Lao Xu and said: "Do you know that "xxxx"? The director of that play is a straw bag, and he doesn't even know how to go to the camera, and most of the scenes are filmed by Lao Xu on the spot, that is a nominal director. ”
Lu Qingsong snorted: "What can I do?"
"Of course you don't need it!So I said let you come and be an assistant director with me!" Zhang Hao smiled: "My level is not very good, but at least I am my own person, you mix with me for a year of professional experience, and then go to Jingdian or magic opera to gild, you can get a fourth-level certificate." ”
"But it doesn't matter if you have a certificate or not, you are not like me, you don't have to worry about investment!" He patted Lu Qingsong on the shoulder and sighed: "Except for those master-level directors, general film and television works, directors are really not as important as books." ”
"It's so important to have a mature and good book.,It's like "Flash Girl", this is a very mature book.,When filming, it's called a smooth.,In addition to training actors.,Basically, you don't have to do anything.,Just follow the template.。 ”
"I know what you're saying, and not only do I know it, but everybody knows it. Lu Qingsong's slender fingers slid on the rim of the cup: "The entire film industry lacks a good book, where can I get it?"
"Yes!" Zhang Hao sighed with emotion, he just couldn't find a good book, so he couldn't get out of it after so many years.
"That's right. He suddenly remembered something: "When I talked to Cao Wu about "Flash Girl" that time, I heard him say that he has a similar book, you can come over with him to shoot? ”
Lu Qingsong turned his head to look at him and said with a smile: "You are always thinking about playing a trick on me!"
"Listen to what you say!" Zhang Hao snorted, not caring about the embarrassment of being provoked, and said with a smile: "Isn't it a waste of resources to have a good book and not shoot?"
"That's none of the business with me. Lu Qingsong raised his head a little, his eyes were serious: "I don't care about others, I'm interested in movies, I just think it can better express emotions, if I shoot things myself, I must shoot my own stories, I'm not interested in other people's stories." ”
Zhang Hao was very smart, immediately stopped, gave a thumbs up, and said with a smile: "Cowhide!"
