Chapter 675: Shipwrecked
The introduction at the beginning of "The Earl of Oolong" is about the male protagonist Xie Crab accidentally obtaining a $1 million inheritance from the second American uncle, where the plot, lines, baggage, twists and character portrayals are very exciting.
Because Lin Xiaoguang is a director, every time he watches a movie or a stage play, he always examines a work with a critical eye.
Therefore, when others laughed, Lin Xiaoguang paid more attention to the scenery, lighting, actors' line skills and positioning of the entire stage.
In the introduction part, it is easy to substitute the audience into the scene, the actor who plays the priest, although Lin Xiaoguang does not know him, his voice is full, loud, and very recognizable, even if the audience is behind the audience, they can hear it clearly.
However, in comparison, the performance of the male protagonist and the guy who played the grave seller was relatively slightly overshadowed.
At least in Lin Xiaoguang's view, every line here is basically buried, but because the actor speaks quickly, some lines have the phenomenon of swallowing sound, and the audience sitting in the back can't hear it clearly, resulting in some burdens failing to achieve the expected laughing results.
Of course, it's not that it's not funny at all, but Lin Xiaoguang thinks that with the reputation of twist flowers, it should be funnier here.
Officially opened, in the first act, the male protagonist went to the bank to withdraw money, the Akita section chief in charge of the business cried poorly, sold miserably, and forced the male protagonist not to withdraw money with death, so as not to expose the truth of his embezzlement of public funds, during which the fair-skinned and beautiful female assistant with long legs pushed the door twice, and all he saw were pictures that were easy to cause misunderstandings and slightly dirty, especially when the male protagonist hugged Qiu Section Chief from behind, the crowd was excited, and the children behind Lin Xiaoguang and Li Xiaoran laughed and screamed, which made him breathtaking.
I have to admit that as a beginning and foreshadowing, the audience's emotions are very well aroused here.
"Bang!"
As the gunshots rang out,The male owner thought he had killed the Akita section chief by mistake.,Flee in a hurry.,The scene switches to outside the office.,Several bandits are kidnapping female assistants.,Security guards and customers.,I'm wondering who fired the first shot.,At the same time, the male owner was mistaken for an accomplice.。
It was at this time that the male protagonist met the sister-in-law K, who was a man and a woman, the de facto heroine of the play.
Mutual suspicion between kidnappers, all kinds of reversals, done very well, in which the male protagonist in order to protect himself, pretended to confess to K's sister-in-law after Brother K was killed, here, K's sister-in-law's character image is just a transgender person who likes men, and she has both men's fierceness and women's femininity in appearance.
Therefore, the confession here and the impression of sister-in-law K, the audience at the bottom is watching it as a joke, laughing again and again, who would have thought that sister-in-law K would really take it seriously?
Regardless of it, the completion of the whole drama is very high, the laughter is very good, and the young actors also show the level of twist.
Among them, Lin Xiaoguang can also see the shadows of Shen Teng, Ma Li and Allen, the more you go to the back, the clearer it becomes, without looking carefully, Lin Xiaoguang once suspected that the actress on the stage was Ma Li, is this a good thing, but it may not be.
Lin Xiaoguang always believes that for a work, it should be the characters, not the actors, that leave a deep impression on the audience.
The switching between various scenes, lighting, background, music, is very well coordinated, very in place, Lin Xiaoguang carefully observed the transition between the curtains, and the handling of the lights when the two Mu were on the same stage, which everywhere reflected the ubiquitous meticulousness of twist in the limited scene.
When sister-in-law K had sex reassignment surgery, she only used a light and a white cloth, and the actor completed the process of sex reassignment surgery with only the silhouette of her movements, which is really amazing.
After the sex reassignment surgery was completed, when the brother's song sounded, Sister-in-law K's male body and the transgender daughter's body danced together, and at that moment, Lin Xiaoguang could feel what it meant to be affectionate.
In addition, the supporting actors are also in place, and the actors who perform dead on stage are really motionless.
The interaction with the audience is very good, there is a scene where the actor calls the second uncle on stage, and an audience member in the audience answers the sentence "Hey", everyone laughs, and the actor comes again, your grave has been bought.
When "Hahaha......" was performed here, the audience suddenly became angry, and the atmosphere reached the most **, Lin Xiaoguang didn't know whether it was the pre-arrangement or the actor's on-the-spot reaction, no matter what, there should be applause here.
At the end of the performance, the actors came to the stage en masse and bowed at a 90-degree angle to the audience from all angles of the stage, and you could feel their sincerity.
Sincere and powerful works can always move people's hearts and make people respectful, but after reading the work "The Earl of Oolong Mountain", for Lin Xiaoguang, the thoughts in his heart are clearer.
After the performance, seeing Lin Xiaoguang's relieved expression, Liu Hongtao breathed a sigh of relief and asked respectfully: "Lin Dong, Mrs. Lin, how is it? Are you two satisfied with our performance tonight?"
Li Xiaoran smiled and nodded: "I am personally very satisfied, I think the stage effect you presented is very good!"
"Thank you Mrs. Lin for your praise, we are happy to twist, not only pay attention to the stage effect......"
Without waiting for Liu Hongtao to finish speaking, Lin Xiaoguang suddenly interrupted: "Mr. Liu, I heard that you are happy twist, and the two most popular actors are Shen Teng and Ma Li. ”
Liu Hongtao said calmly: "Yes Lin Dong, Shen Teng and Ma Li are indeed the two trump cards of our happy twist." ”
Lin Xiaoguang asked rhetorically: "Then why don't you arrange these two actors tonight to give us a performance?"
After a pause, Lin Xiaoguang then asked: "Didn't you say that you plan to arrange Shen Teng and Ma Li to play the heroes and heroines of "Charlotte's Troubles"?"
Seeing that Lin Xiaoguang's expression was a little serious, Liu Hongtao hurriedly explained: "Lin Dong, don't be impatient, originally we planned to arrange Shen Teng and Ma Li to give you two a performance scene, but in the past few days, Shen Teng and Ma Li are participating in the rehearsal of the Spring Festival Gala sketch, and they really can't spare time." ”
It turned out that Shen Teng and Ma Li joined the CCTV Spring Festival Gala in the Year of the Goat in 2015 and performed the sketch "Cast What He Likes" with Du Xiaoyu.
Although Lin Xiaoguang is stingy, he is not unreasonable, after all, the Spring Festival Gala is the biggest stage in China, since Shen Teng and Ma Li are going to participate in the Spring Festival Gala this year, then Lin Xiaoguang has nothing to say.
What's more, after the movie "Charlotte's Troubles" was filmed and released, Lin Xiaoguang still remembers some of how hot the box office was.
After the performance, Lin Xiaoguang and Li Xiaoran went to Liu Hongtao's office to discuss cooperation with him.
Lin Xiaoguang was rich and generous, and he spoke magnificently, and not long after he sat down, he asked straight to the point: "Let's talk about Mr. Liu, how much money do you need to shoot the movie "Charlotte's Troubles"?"
Liu Hongtao saw that Lin Xiaoguang was so refreshing, and he was not ambiguous, and said bluntly: "Lin Dong, I won't tell you, we Happy Twist have never made a movie, this is the first time, even if it is a work to test the waters, we don't dare to spread this stall too big." ”
"According to our initial estimates, the shooting cost of our film will be controlled within 20 million as much as possible. ”
Lin Xiaoguang thought for a moment, and then asked: "The shooting cost is only the first step, but what about the publicity and distribution cost?"
Liu Hongtao hurriedly said: "Some Lin Dong, we plan to invest 10 million to do the publicity of this movie." ”
Hearing this, Lin Xiaoguang couldn't help but sneer: "Mr. Liu, you are really joking, with the current market, there are only 10 million, how can you do a good job in the promotion and distribution of the movie?"
Lin Xiaoguang's words, this stumped Liu Hongtao, although he has been running Happy Twist for so many years, he doesn't know much about the operation of the movie, and he can even be said to be a layman.
Liu Hongtao looked at Lin Xiaoguang anxiously: "Then according to Lin Dong's meaning, how much money should we invest in publicity and distribution?"
Lin Xiaoguang said calmly: "At least 20 million, otherwise you will be busy in vain." ”
Liu Hongtao was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart, if the shooting cost is 20 million, plus the 20 million publicity, it will add up to 40 million, so that there will be an additional expenditure of 10 million, how many shows does Happy Twist have to perform to earn so much money?
Lin Xiaoguang saw Liu Hongtao's embarrassment, and said: "Mr. Liu, let me tell you this, you must not save the money for publicity, especially for the promotion of this work, it will cost at least more than 10 million yuan to make the movie famous." ”
"If I were you, not to mention 20 million to put in publicity, it would be 30 million, and I would be willing to give it!"
Originally, Liu Hongtao was still a little wavering, but when he heard Lin Xiaoguang speak so loudly, the courage in his heart increased a little more.
In the end, Liu Hongtao gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, and said: "Lin Dong, as long as you can support us to make a happy twist and shoot the movie "Charlotte's Troubles", I will give as much as you ask me to make." ”
