004 【Deleted Script】

Summer calmed his wounded heart and prepared to start filming "Midnight Man Wolf".

However, before filming, Summer decided to revise the script and add some plots. Because the original story of "Midnight Man Wolf" is too thin, it tells the story of a salty wet guy **, which is really worse than Dongying's cavalry films.

I don't want the first work I directed in the summer to be so rubbish, otherwise it will be a shame to be turned out again after becoming famous in the future.

He bit the tip of his pen and squatted on the ground, meditating, his fingers constantly drawing circles on the ground, one thought after another flashing in his mind.

After a few moments, his eyes suddenly lit up and he had an idea, and then he brushed a little bit and began to write on the back of the script.

"Hey, what the hell are you doing, it's been so long, and you still haven't started filming?" Bucktooth Bing waited impatiently, and came forward to urge with a dark face.

This "Midnight Manwolf" will be released in three days, but so far it has only been filmed halfway, and now there is really no time to grind it anymore.

Summer was full of inspiration at this moment, but he didn't immediately respond to Luo Yabing's question, but insisted on writing the last word before Shi Shiran stood up.

At this time, Luo Yabing's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

"Brother Bing, sharpening knives is not a mistake for woodcutters. You see, this is a script that I just wrote, and if I shoot according to this script, I promise that it will be completed within two days. Summer handed over the script.

"Don't we already have a script, and you're coming up with another script now?" said Luo Yabing with a displeased look on his face.

Now that the "Midnight Man Wolf" has not been filmed, he has no heart to invest in the next movie.

"This is not a new script, but a part of the storyline has been added to the original script of "Midnight Manwolf". Summer explained with a wave of her hand.

When Bucktooth heard this, his face darkened.

"You want to change the storyline?! You're going to lose me, aren't you? Do you know that as soon as you change the story, I'll have to pay another amount of money? I make C-grade movies to make money, not for you to realize your movie dreams. He yelled.

Luo Yabing also wanted to make his film company bigger and stronger, so he also invited some famous directors to make films. It's just that those directors are asking a lot, they have to have a lot of investment, they want to invite famous actors, and they want artistic depth...... But nine or eight times out of ten of the movies made hit the streets.

So after suffering a few losses, Luo Yabing no longer refused to take risks, and honestly filmed his low-cost C-grade films. Although a single film does not make much money, it is better because the income is stable and the risk is controllable.

Now that he heard that Summer was going to take risks again, Luo Yabing thought of the evil deeds he had done before, and naturally he didn't have a good face for him.

"Brother Bing, you misunderstood. Take a look at the storylines I've added, but they're just nine or eight minutes of cutscenes. But minus the two strong explosion scenes I just deleted, not only did it not increase the cost, but on the contrary, it also saved a fee. Summer explained unhurriedly.

This "Midnight Man Wolf" originally assumed that there would be five strong explosion scenes, which was completely the rhythm of "not enough drama, meat to make up". The original director must have intended to use these sexual X scenes to attract the audience, but it seemed that it was too much in the summer. Because braised pork is delicious, but it is easy to get tired of eating too much.

In addition, the settings of these five strong explosion scenes are basically the same, which makes it easy for the audience to get bored. So Summer took matters into his own hands, deleted the next two strong explosion scenes, and refilled with a new storyline.

"Are you crazy, aren't you? C-grade films, who can watch them if you don't have cesium violence?! If you want to die, don't hurt me, hit the street!" Bucktooth Bing heard Xia say that he had deleted two strong explosion scenes, and immediately angrily threw the script on him and scolded.

Xia picked up the script again with a gloomy face, handed it to Luo Ya Bing again, and said in a deep voice, "Brother Bing, you read the script first and then criticize me." If you think I'm not good at writing, then we'll shoot according to the original script. ”

Bucktooth Bing was snatched white by him like this, and his heart suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, this stinky boy was so proud. But after being stunned for a moment, he snatched the script and read it in a hurry.

"If you don't write well, you're in bad luck. He swore as he watched that no boy had ever dared to contradict himself like this.

But after he read the story written by Summer, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he immediately raised his head, "Good boy, did you write the story of 'Lin Guoyun, the butcher on a rainy night'?"

Summer nodded.

"Rainy Night Butcher" Lin Guoyun is the most well-known serial killer in Hong Kong. From February to July of '82, in just six months, he killed four women, and each time he had to dismember human bodies, take photographs, and make specimens, which can be said to be completely inhuman and extremely cruel.

It is precisely because of this that Lin Guoyun's name is known to everyone in Hong Kong. Especially in August this year, he was just sentenced to life imprisonment by the Hong Kong government, which caused an uproar in society. Many relatives of the victims have applied to the Hong Kong Governor's Office in the hope that the death penalty can be reinstated in order to comfort the victims' souls in heaven.

Summer also suddenly thought of this news, and only then did he have an idea to integrate the story of "Butcher on a Rainy Night" Lin Guoyun into this "Midnight Man Wolf".

In this way, this movie just uses "Rainy Night Butcher Lin Guoyun" as a gimmick, and while the shareholder trend has not stopped, it will definitely achieve a good box office result.

And with this change, the film has been sublimated from a low-level romance movie to a social ethics film with artistic depth, and the style has suddenly improved a lot.

Luo Ya Bingkai Film Company has been in the film company for many years, although he has always been a C-level film that does not enter the stream, it does not mean that he has no vision. Now that he saw the idea of summer, he knew it was a good idea.

"Well, well, it's up to you to write it. Bucktooth Bing nodded and said.

Seeing that he agreed, Xia immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, Brother Bing, since that's the case, then let's not waste time, let's start filming right away." ”

Bucktooth Bing nodded, and with a gesture of his hand, he called the crew members who were hiding in the corner to rest.

"Brother Bing!" they greeted respectfully.

"This is the new director, just wait for him to do what he tells you. Bucktooth Bing pointed to the summer.

"Director!" they greeted Summer obediently, not dismissively because he was so young. You must know that it was this young man who had just abolished the original director. I've seen his ruthless methods, and no one wants to be beaten by him.

Summer has no prejudice against these C-grade movie actors, knowing that they are also just to make a living. He quickly glanced at it, and as expected, these actors were not celebrities.

With the low shooting cost of C-grade films, it is destined not to invite well-known actors to act. Therefore, outdated stars and fourth-rate actors have become the protagonists of this movie.

"Hello seniors, I'm Summer, and from today I will be the director and cinematographer of the crew of "Midnight Wolf". I hope everyone can cooperate sincerely and make this movie well. Summer said with a smile.

"Definitely, definitely. Seeing him so polite, these actors couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

They were reduced to making this kind of C-grade film, which was already unlucky enough. If you run into a grumpy director again, it will be even more pitiful if you scold at every turn. Fortunately, this young director looks fierce, but he speaks kindly.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, let's start shooting. Luo Yabing couldn't help but urge.

Summer smiled and began to assign tasks to everyone.

In his previous life, he studied in the directing department of Beijing Film Film, and after graduation, he worked with dozens of crews, worked as scene notes, worked as a photographer, worked as a screenwriter, served as an assistant director, and commanded a large crew of hundreds of people. Now in the face of two or three big cats and kittens in the crew of "Midnight Man Wolf", of course he will not hold back, and he will complete the work after dividing five by two.

Seeing that he was doing things so neatly, Bucktooth Bing watched from the side, and his confidence in him suddenly increased a little.

……

After assigning the work, Xia was instructing the actors on how to perform, and at this time, I saw my good brother Chen Yixin running in in a hurry.

"Brother Tian, I'm back. He shouted.

"Well, you've come just in time. Summer nodded, "Is the little sister settled?"

"After settling down, I took her back to my house, and with my mother at home with her, it will be fine. Chen Yixin whispered.

Summer nodded, "That's fine." Then you go and adjust the lighting first, I want a bright light with a cool color temperature of 2.5 degrees. ”

Chen Yixin's eyes immediately lit up, and he looked at Xia Xia in surprise and said, "Okay, Brother Tian, when will you know how to dim the light?"

Xia smiled, he is a top student in the director department of Beijing Film and knows what the big deal is about dimming.

As a director, even if you can't be proficient in lighting, art, editing, photography, etc., you must at least know a little. Otherwise, when filming, you will not be able to achieve good communication with your subordinates. Laymen guide insiders, and it's strange that they can make a good show.

"Usually when I take a break from filming, I learn from those lighting masters. He hid it with a smile.

"Oh, no wonder. Chen Yixin suddenly realized, "Okay, then I'll transfer it now." With that, he walked over and adjusted the lights.

Because of the extremely low investment cost, the entire crew only has four lamps, which seems to be very shabby in summer. You must know that when filming in the mainland, there are two truckloads of lighting equipment used in a medium-investment TV series.

However, it was probably the first time that he lost the hat of "assistant" and became a real lighting engineer, so Chen Yixin did not feel shabby at all, happily fiddled with the four lamps, and quickly debugged the lighting effects required in summer.

During the new book period, I sincerely ask all book friends for their support!
