Chapter 60: Nortel Goddess Zhao Wei
The basketball league of the eight major art schools basically starts in April, because if it is at the beginning of the semester, the weather is not suitable, and the new semester has just ended, and the weather in the capital is still quite cold.
Jia Zhangke's film preparation is complicated, and the funds from Xiangjiang cannot be obtained at once, and there are still many details to be discussed.
There is still a need to talk about revenue sharing, and the introduction of Xiangjiang funds and Zhou Bai's funds has made Jia Zhangke's ideas about movies have also changed greatly, making him want to do a big job.
IF IT WERE PUT ON OTHER DIRECTORS, IF THE 200,000 YUAN COULD STRICTLY CONTROL THE FILM CONSUMPTION RATIO, IT WOULD BE POSSIBLE TO MAKE A MOVIE WITH 35MM FILM, BUT IT IS BASICALLY IMPOSSIBLE HERE IN JIA ZHANGKE.
If you let the current filmmakers look at it, the funds of 400,000 yuan are enough for Jia Zhangke to shoot a movie.
Of course, Zhou Bai still knows a lot about Lao Jia's urine, and this person's love for movies is not false at all, but literary and artistic young people have a problem, that is, they have a lot of ideas.
Don't say two points more than the control of the film, thank God that the five to one can be filmed, and Zhou Bai still feels quite hanging.
In this era, basically mainstream directors are talking about the film consumption ratio, and the higher it is, the richer the crew.
Short, tight, tall and Xiaosong said in later programs that when he was filming, he was close to Chen Kaige's crew, and he tightly controlled the film consumption ratio at three to one, but when he asked the film consumption ratio of the crew next door, he was almost not scared stupid, people were simply inhumane, and they didn't care about the film consumption ratio at all.
The reason why the film consumption ratio is important is because these are directly related to money, and if the poor crew who has no money dares to waste the film and stop cooking for minutes, they will not survive at all.
35MM FILM, A 400-FOOT FILM, CAN SHOOT FOR FOUR MINUTES, THE CHEAPEST FILM OF THIS BOOK ALSO COSTS 1,000, USING MAINSTREAM KODAK COLOR FILM, ABOUT 15000.
According to the calculation of 90 minutes for a movie, the film consumption ratio is 5 to 1, and the film cost alone will be more than 160,000 yuan, which is just the money of the film, and 40,000 yuan is a complete dream to pay for other expenses.
The expenses of a crew are not only film money, but also actors' salaries, meals, accommodation, cars, and salaries of other crew members, etc., which add up to not a small number.
FROM THIS, I KNOW WHY JIA ZHANGKE USED 16MM FILM WHEN HE MADE HIS FIRST MOVIE, ONE WORD: POOR!
The five-to-one consumable film ratio may not be enough for Jia Zhangke, Zhou Bai estimates that the cost of light film will cost more than 200,000 yuan, and the directors of literary films have this problem more or less, and the hard burning of film is simply unbearable to the turbulent heart.
When Jiang Wen filmed "Sunny Day", he spent three or four thousand feet of film just shooting Baiyun, and the investor came to persuade him, saying: "My first time as a director, you just let me enjoy it."
You see, even a tough guy like Jiang Wen can be coquettish in order to satisfy his literary and artistic heart, but the result of being coquettish and making investors back down is that 250,000 feet of film were used up until the movie was filmed.
In the end, the whole crew was poor in the end, they couldn't afford to eat, they couldn't pay their salaries, and even the equipment was worried that it would be taken back at any time because they didn't pay rent, and in the end, it was Liu Xiaoqing who helped him to get through the difficulties.
This is especially Jiang Wen's first time as a director, and when it comes to "The Devil is Coming", the numbers are even more exaggerated, which simply scares the big directors in China.
Not to mention the movies directed by the American imperialists, there are millions of people who have a base, which the whole world is envious.
……
The weather in April becomes warmer, and although it will be a little cold at night, the day is basically 20 degrees, and it is a good weather for playing basketball.
At the venue of the competition, Zhou Bai saw Zhao Wei, who he hadn't seen for a long time, and this was the first time Zhou Bai saw her after the art exam.
Speaking of Zhao Wei, Zhou Bai and her are also nodding friends, they have seen each other during the art examination, after all, in the same examination room, Zhao Yanzi also participated in the three Chinese opera examinations, and Zhou Bai also participated in the Nortel art examination.
"I haven't seen you for so long, you're still so beautiful, how are you staying at Nortel?" Zhou Bai said after greeting Zhao Wei.
At this time, Zhao Yanzi is indeed very beautiful, and she is a star among students, ranking first among girls in the Nortel Art Examination, and because she came into contact with society earlier, she is much more mature than others, and is very popular in school.
"Thank you, that's it, I can't film now, go to school hard, and go up every day. Zhao smiled and said, she had a good impression of Zhou Bai, although she didn't have a deep friendship, but she had chatted a few times.
"You're still worried about not filming, now you're the goddess of Nortel, and your fame is not small in our Chinese drama, and when you can film, the book is not lined up yet. Zhou Bai said with a smile, the most famous among the students at this time is Mei Ting of Chinese opera, and the other is Zhao Wei of Nortel.
Zhao Wei's contact with the film was in 93, and the biopic "Painting the Soul" directed by female director Huang Shuqin recruited extras at the Wushi Normal School in Anhui Province at that time, and she played a small role without lines in the film.
After graduating from the Normal School in 94, she flew to the magic capital and was successfully admitted to the Xie Jin Hengtong Star School founded by the film master Xie Jin, becoming the first batch of students, and when she graduated, she starred as the heroine in the movie "Daughter Valley" directed by Xie Jin, and then starred in the heroine of the TV series "Sister Sister Chuang BJ" and has a certain popularity.
Before being admitted to Nortel, Zhao Wei also starred in the movie "East Palace and West Palace" by Zhang Yuan, a famous director in the Beijing circle, and the actor is Zhou Bai's senior brother, Hu Jun, who is level 87 in the Chinese opera performance department.
Although Zhang Yuan entered the "drug team" more than ten years later, he was an absolutely famous director in the 90s, and he won countless awards for his banned films.
The person standing behind Zhang Yuan is called Wang Shuo, one of the main figures in the Beijing circle, his good friend is called Feng Xiaogang, the goddess is called Xu Jinglei, the buddy is called Jiang Wen, and the big and small kings, now take out these people, which one is not the horn of calling for wind and rain.
In terms of TV series, she also starred as the heroine of "The Big Rubik's Cube", and the cooperating actors include Guo Donglin, Pan Changjiang, and Yi Xiangjie, who also entered the "drug team".
Later, many people said that Zhao Wei was caged by the Beijing circle after he was born in 98, the evidence is the movie "Heroes of Heaven and Earth", starring Jiang Wen, and the director is He Ping, that is nonsense, Zhao Wei was inextricably linked with the Beijing circle at the beginning, and Zhang Yuan immediately let her after the military flag incident, but the heroine of the movie "Green Tea", starring Jiang Wen, it is conceivable that the Beijing circle supports Zhao Wei.
"Is it such an exaggeration as you say? You guys in the drama will also talk about me?" Zhao Wei said with disgust, but he was very happy when he heard the words of praise.
"Of course, you are Nortel's school flower, goddess-level, and you have already published works while you are studying, and the boys admire you very much, I don't believe you didn't receive a confession letter. Zhou Bai quipped.
"No, your school's Mei Ting is amazing. After the game starts for a while, remember to show mercy to your men. Zhao Wei said that now the two of them are still on the side of the basketball court, and the basketball game is the theme of this time.
"Why aren't you optimistic that your school can win?" Zhou Bai said in surprise.
"Don't you look at your height and throw them off, that guy named Liu Ye was so good at basketball during the art exam, how can he still play. Zhao Wei said helplessly, giving Zhou Bai a roll of his eyes.
Zhou Bai looked at the people on both sides, and he really couldn't refute it, and he won the middle drama in terms of height.
"That kid likes you, I just said a few words to you, why is this buddy's eyes full of murderous energy?" Zhou Bai said with a grin, looking around the audience and realizing that he had been targeted.
"No, don't talk nonsense, that's my classmate, I'm afraid you will bully me. Zhao Wei denied it.
My God, Sect Leader Huang's eyes are already full of murderous aura Okay, Zhao Wei, are you embarrassed to deny it? Zhou Bai couldn't help but complain in his heart.
That's right, the person staring at Zhou Bai is Huang Xiaoming, who is also Nortel level 96, one of the "Nortel Three Musketeers" in the future.
