"No, no, no, I can't shoot this film. ”

Early in the morning, Wang Tianlin took a large stack of manuscripts and found Yang Qiu's home as a temporary office, and before he could sit down, he cried out bitterly with resentment.

Yang Qiu had a headache for several days for the company's funds, and at this time, seeing Wang Tianlin having a conflict again, he couldn't help but have a headache again, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"What's wrong? Look at the storyboard I gave you to review, what did you change?"

To say that Wang Tianlin is really worthy of the title of 'assistant director Wang', he is one of the few people Yang Qiu saw in Xiangjiang who carefully drew the storyboard script before filming.

You must know that in this era, let alone storyboard scripts, and even more so, some directors even write scripts when filming.

No wonder Wang Tianlin filmed quickly and well...... Well...... Of course, the word 'good' is for Cantonese fragments, and once you have a storyboard, you can go through the film in your head before filming starts, isn't it fast and good?

Yang Qiu originally handed over to Wang Tianlin was just a pile of scripts, he thought that Wang Tianlin should be like other Cantonese fragment directors, just shoot according to the script, as for movie shots and the like, everyone should discuss before filming.

Unexpectedly, the next day, Wang Tianlin, who had a pair of panda eyes, handed him a stack of storyboard scripts.

Yang Qiu was very surprised, you must know that Wang Tianlin has always been self-taught, and now he can think about and write a storyboard script, which can be regarded as an extremely hard-working person.

It's just that the script that Wang Tianlin handed over to Yang Qiu made him a little dissatisfied.

What happened?

However, because of the lack of funds for filming Cantonese fragments in recent years, the emphasis is on saving money, materials and effort, and the number of shots can be reflected in some performance details.

Ordinary Chinese film or fine Cantonese film, from the beginning to the end, all kinds of shots, add up to at least about 400; and Cantonese fragments, 100 is ordinary, and having a 200 shot can be regarded as very conscientious.

Of course, more powerful Cantonese opera films, one shot to the end is also a common thing.

So when Wang Tianlin handed in the storyboard script, there were only more than 150 shots, it was not surprising at all.

Who told him to shoot Cantonese fragments......

It's just that there are fewer shots, and the expressiveness of the movie seems a little insufficient, you give a close-up with a better close-up, and you have a close-up with a better long-range shot, all of which are OK, how can this work!

So as soon as Yang Qiu finished reading the script, he frowned, and it took a night to change it beyond recognition.

The number of sub-shots has exploded from more than 150 to more than 360.

Now, Yang Qiu is finally pleasing to the eye.

It's just that he is pleasing to the eye here, but Wang Tianlin is not doing it on his side.

"You added so many shots at once, it's not that you can add them, but in this way, we have at least doubled the time it takes to make a movie, and how much does it cost. ”

"Money?!" Yang Qiu rubbed his forehead and said, "Is eighty thousand enough?"

"How can you ...... 80,000 yuan" Wang Tianlin just said half a sentence, and was suddenly stunned for a moment, and then immediately widened his eyes and asked, "You want to spend 80,000 yuan to shoot this film?"

"Well, I calculated, although 80,000 is enough, it should be a little tight, but whether you can finish this number depends on your ability. Yang Qiu said a little silently.

Golden Harvest's funds are somewhat insufficient, that's for sure.

Counting the funds in Yang Qiu's own hands, it is only about 10,000 yuan; as for Liu Lianghua, the big financier, the cash flow has already been taken up by Taishan; now that Taishan is like this, he is naturally embarrassed to withdraw out.

So this time I invested 100,000 yuan in Golden Harvest, and I don't know where the arrogant little girl got it.

A total of 110,000 yuan, in addition to making movies, will also have the bottom fee of the theater and the distribution fee in other cities, which is really stretched.

Yang Qiu used the 110,000 yuan in the past two days, and the plan was made one after another, and I don't know how many brain cells died.

"You're crazy, you're really crazy, 80,000 to make a Cantonese fragment?" Wang Tianlin still looked unconvinced.

"Who said I was going to shoot fragments?" Yang Qiu picked up the script and patted it, and said, "There are more than 300 shots of your family's fragments?"

“……”

Wang Tianlin secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, looked at the script, and then looked at Yang Qiu and said, "You really don't plan to shoot fragments......?"

"What happened to the script?"

"Script...... It feels like it's a bit of a mess. ”

"I've always had a question, do you 'old' filmmakers watch movies purely into meaningful and meaningless?

“…… Eh, it seems to be ......" Wang Tianlin rubbed his head and responded: "Yes, indeed." ”

“……”

"Isn't that right?"

"Why can't you just have a pure entertainment movie?"

"Pure entertainment?"

"It's meaningless, it's purely beautiful, the kind that laughs when you look at it, and forgets it when you see it. ”

"Isn't that just a fragment?"

"Phew!" Yang Qiu said hatefully: "The fragment is scolded after seeing it." ”

“……”

"You ...... Isn't it really a 'piece' company?" Wang Tianlin pointed to the dormitory again and changed the topic.

Yang Qiu's face was black, and he said, "It's just a temporary lack of funds." ”

"Then ......" Wang Tianlin paused, and suddenly said, "I want to add a director's fee?"

"Why?"

"You've been filming for at least twice as long now, so you'll definitely have a lot of money. ”

"No, I can't. ”

"Why?"

"Xiangjiang's director fees are all on a step-by-step basis, when is it calculated according to time?"

“……”

Wang Tianlin knew that he was speechless, touched his head and sat down, and said sullenly: "This is a big loss." ”

"A big loss?" Yang Qiu smiled sarcastically and said, "You don't always plan to shoot Cantonese fragments, do you?"

Wang Tianlin pouted and said dejectedly: "What can I do if I don't shoot? Besides, no one is looking for me to shoot the fragments now." If you don't take advantage of a little fame to make more money, I'm afraid you won't even be able to drink porridge in the future. ”

"I don't care if you can drink the porridge or not, but if you shoot my film according to the attitude of shooting fragments, you should go back and forth. ”

"Boss Yang, I'...... That was not what I meant. Wang Tianlin listened to Yang Qiu's attitude change, and he didn't dare to speak.

Yang Qiu waved his hand and said, "I don't care what you mean, this Jiahe, I still want to be bigger and stronger, so the first work, even if you don't take it to heart, I will take it to heart." ”

"Boss Yang, don't worry, I will do my best to give you the best film this time, just wait and see. Excited by Yang Qiu, Wang Tianlin was a little excited, patting his chest and reassuring.

"Yes, I'll wait. ”

Yang Qiu responded, tilted his head and continued: "Only when the film is filmed can we make money, and only when we make money can we make more films, so we can't be sloppy this time." And, you know where you're now......"

"Here I can give you a guarantee. Yang Qiu pressed his forehead and said solemnly: "As long as this film is filmed well, I will continue to look for you to be the director." ”

"Boss Yang!"

Wang Tianlin was very moved, this icing on the cake is everywhere, there is no charcoal in the snow, Yang Qiu's words made his nose sour, he stood up and said with red eyes: "Thank you!"

"No, you are the biggest thank you to me for filming this drama. ”

This radish and stick policy, Yang Qiu used it so formally for the first time, and it was really good.

After Wang Tianlin left Yang Qiu in the morning, he began to run around like a chicken, contacting intermediary companies, watching the set, selecting staff, and testing equipment.

Only a little more than a week later, "Funny Times" started filming on the South China set opposite Hou Wangmiao.
