Chapter 53: Lewd Development is the Right Thing
The filming conditions of the crew of "Killing" were really difficult. Not because of the environment, not because of the aftershocks that occur from time to time, but because of the wind.
The mountain wind is fierce and continuous.
In fact, Mu Ming is not unfamiliar with this kind of windy weather, Haiwei is on the seaside, and the sea breeze in season is not smaller than here. However, the sea breeze itself is very clean, except for some fishy smell. It's not like here, when the wind comes with it, and it flies with the sand on the ground.
In this kind of weather, the heavy prop box can't stand up outside, let alone the tripod, bare board or something, and you can't take it out at all. So the whole crew acted urgently and moved all the props into the house to avoid being swept away by the wind.
The people couldn't stay any longer, so they all hid in the house and waited for the wind and sand to subside. Because the room was crowded with people, the indoor scenes could not be filmed, so Guan Hu simply pulled everyone in the crew and began to discuss the script.
The protagonist of "Killing" is Niu Jian, a "deviant" person who has been going to the house to uncover the tiles, peeing in the well, digging the grave of the house every day, and kicking the widow's door at night since he was a child. Therefore, Guanhu pulled everyone together and said that the "deviant" things he had done when he was a child, if there was a good one, he would put it on the protagonist when he filmed.
"I ...... when I was a child" Huang Bo tilted his head, and his face showed a look of memory. After a while, he finally shook his head: "I really didn't do anything like this when I was a child. At that time, my biggest idea was to sing well and let my parents know that I could support myself without studying. ”
"If you want to talk about deviance, I think it would be quite deviant at that time to sing and make money without going to school. ”
When Huang Bo was in junior high school, he was looking for a place to sing outside every day to make money, not to mention the parents of that era, even in the eyes of today's parents, this is also a particularly unreliable thing. It is estimated that this is also the reason why Huang Bo will take over the drama of Guanhu, just like the cow in the plot, they always have some differences from the mainstream rules.
"Xiao Mu, what about you?" Guan Hu turned to Mu Ming again and asked, "You are young, you should remember the events of your childhood more clearly." ”
"Me. Mu Ming thought about her childhood: "What I still remember is that I set off fireworks by the river again, but the barrel of the fireworks was not stable and fell, and then the fireworks all went out horizontally." It was autumn, and the hillside by the river was burned down. ”
"Burning Mountain?" Guanhu muttered, then his eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands: "Hey, this is good." Well, let's add another plot, it's Huang Bo, unexpectedly, the village was ordered. ”
The circle of people around looked at each other, and Mu Ming said cautiously: "Director, this is a scenic spot protection area, they shouldn't let us light the fire." ”
"It's fine. Guanhu waved his hand: "Let's divide it into two pieces to shoot, the indoor one is here, and it's okay to have a small fire." Wait for the outdoor ones to return to BJ, set up an exterior scene and burn them again. ”
OK, you director, you're the biggest. You can shoot as much as you like.
The wind and sand blew for a day, and it was not until the evening that the wind became lighter. Guanhu hurriedly instructed the crew who had rested for a day to hurry up and start work, although it was almost dark, but Nu worked hard to shoot a few more shots.
The next day, the wind and sand finally stopped. At the same time, newcomers also came to the crew. Su Youpeng, who played the villain "Doctor Niu" in the play, and Ren Dahua, who was the narrator and discoverer of the entire plot. The roles of the two people are relatively small, so the ones who join the group will be later.
Ren Dahua, the Academy Award actor, is an absolute first-line film actor in Hong Kong. However, when Mu Ming began to pay attention to movies, the heyday of Xiangjiang movies had passed, so he was not very familiar with him.
But the other Su Youpeng is different, the fifth elder brother, Du Fei, Hua Wuji, Zhang Wuji, these are all childhood memories. When Mu Ming greeted her for the first time, she blurted out the sentence "I grew up watching your works", which made this person stunned for a long time. It wasn't until I asked Mu Ming's age clearly later that she recovered.
Mu Ming has always been unable to figure out why these directors like to use actors from Hong Kong and Taiwan so much. What modern dramas do you say, and you won't say anything if there are costume dramas. You say a story that takes place in the small town of Shuchuan, inside the mainland, why should there be two actors from Hong Kong and Taiwan?
However, the acting skills of these two are beyond doubt. In fact, the entire crew of "Killing" is basically a group of powerful actors with online acting skills. Even if you don't watch the plot, just watching the performance of these actors can be worth half of the ticket price.
In fact, it is a very enjoyable thing to watch actors with good acting skills play against each other. A grasp of an action, a change of tone, can volatilize that little emotion in your heart to the fullest. In particular, Mu Ming is still watching the live version, and without the barrier of that layer of screen, this feeling is even stronger.
Looking at Su Youpeng, who was wearing glasses, wearing a windbreaker, and looking like a scum, Mu Ming really wanted to know what made him the fat uncle a few years later. Is it because you don't care about your image behind the scenes?
At this time, Su Youpeng should have begun to consider the issue of transformation to the background, and when he was fine, he always pulled Guanhu to discuss, his attitude was very serious, and he was very diligent in his studies. Mu Ming couldn't help but think of Director Su's future movies, "Left Ear" and "The Devotion of Suspect X......
Well, at least it's improving. And the box office results are also very good, if you have the opportunity, you can have a relationship with Director Su in advance, and it is good to invest or something when the time comes.
"yes, I didn't think of that. Mu Ming slapped her thigh, she has been busy learning to direct and shoot for so long, so she thought about winning "33 Days of Broken Love", and forgot that she could invest in other films.
Mu Ming took out his mobile phone and searched the Internet for several movies that he had an impression of good box office, "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" has started filming; "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" has started filming; "Painted Skin 2", eh, there is no news about this, but unfortunately, this is a project of Huayi, and it is estimated that the project has already been established...... In short, none of them seem to be able to mix in by themselves.
Mu Ming thought about it, the only thing she might have a chance was probably "Thai Embarrassment". However, Xu Zheng should have just had an idea, and he hadn't started writing the script yet. Well, this is not in a hurry for the time being, you can ask Brother Tobo when you go back. I finally have a big project that I can participate in, but I can't let it go.
It's not just movies, Mu Ming, who has been in the industry for a while, understands that the profits of TV series may not be worse than movies. It's a pity that I didn't pay much attention to TV series in my previous life, but I can learn about it through Perfect Film and Television. As for whether there is a chance, then we can only look at it again.
There is no way, at this time, the three Internet giants have just put their feet into the entertainment industry, and capital has not yet begun to flow in on a large scale. Almost all the good projects and big projects are in the hands of a few large companies, and outsiders can't get in even if they want to.
This is a very awkward point in time, the capitalists who want to make investments have not yet come in, and the capitalists who want to do the market are ready to come in.
But fortunately, Mu Ming still has time. What we need to do now is to develop obscenely. Then, wait for that opportunity to shuffle the cards.
