Chapter 14: Virtuous Helpers [First Update]

"You, what did you find?" Scarlett's voice was so low that even she wondered if she could hear it.

"I've found a solution to the shooting problem, and tomorrow we'll definitely get better. ”

Chen Tian's tone was full of excitement, and Scarlett Johansson in his arms moved her head slightly, and what caught her eyes was Chen Tian's excited expression.

"Maybe it's a good idea to find a man like that. Such thoughts popped into Scarlett's mind.

"No, how is it possible, you have just divorced, and you don't know each other very well, how can you have such an irresponsible idea for yourself. ”

Another voice popped up in Scarlett's head, two voices with diametrically opposed views wrestling in her head.

Chen Tian lowered his head again and collided with Scarlett's eyes, and Chen Tiancai realized that he was still holding Scarlett Johansson.

Scarlett smiled at Scarlett and moved her arm slightly, and Scarlett immediately understood Chen Tian's thoughts.

"Sorry for borrowing your arm, thank you. ”

"I should have said it, to be able to hold a big beauty like you, I don't think any man in the whole world will refuse. ”

"You just said you solved the shooting problem?" Scarlett decided to find something to talk about to avoid an awkward situation between the two.

"Yes, I found it, when I was on set, I always felt that the shooting was very bad, it always felt a lot worse, and now I know that I take it for granted a lot of times and don't experience it myself. ”

"You don't want to go in and try it yourself, do you?"

"The problem must have arisen in it, and my thinking has become fixed, in fact, all kinds of props for shooting movies are not fixed, but I fixed the whole range within the small range of the coffin. ”

"Isn't that what the script requires?"

"But that doesn't mean I have to follow this when shooting, as long as I end up presenting the audience with the coffin a little bit of space, in fact, the coffin should have a long one that is much longer than normal, and the camera glides forward from the farthest end, and the camera shoots from far to near.

In this way, not only can the camera angle be well chosen, but the final imaging effect will also be much better, and our coffin does not necessarily have to be closed, tomorrow we will build a prop so that the coffin can be disassembled.

Then build a higher one than the current coffin, but the color of the top plate will be exactly the same as the top plate of the coffin, and then post-processing after shooting can give people the feeling of still being in the coffin. ”

Although Scarlett is not a director and does not particularly understand what Chen Tian said, she still understands something after many years of filming, and Chen Tian's confident look and tone at the moment make her appreciate it very much.

"Although I don't really know it, I also think it's a good way to do it, and I'm sure you can shoot "Buried Alive" perfectly. ”

"Thank you, I can't wait to get everything done and start shooting again. Chen Tian smiled confidently, "Wait a minute, what are you going to eat, if it weren't for you, I don't think I would have thought of a solution, maybe tomorrow we will still spend time in idleness." ”

"It's a credit to me? God, I can't believe it. Scarlett's eyes widened, and her lips were covered with her hands that were not slender or fleshy.

At this moment, Scarlett looked extremely cute, which made Chen Tian feel the urge to reach out and pinch it.

Forcibly shake off his thoughts: "Of course, if it weren't for you, I don't think I would have thought of a solution, so I want to thank you, what do you want to eat? Western, Chinese, or Japanese?"

Scarlett had an urge to eat Western food with Chen Tian at the moment, but she knew how difficult it was for Chen Tian to shoot this film, and she could feel it from the uniform on her and the crew that was so simple that she couldn't pick it up anymore.

"I want to eat fast food. ”

"Fast food, are you sure I heard me right?"

"Of course not, I like to eat fast food, McDonald's or KFC, but growing up my parents and Rosie didn't let me eat it, they always thought I would be so fat that I couldn't walk. Scarlett gestured with her hand.

"Fast food is really not nutritious and fattening. ”

"But I want to eat, can you satisfy me? Just eat a little bit.

And are you sure that we won't be denied entry to other places like this now? I promise that I'll make a lot of people lose their appetite in an instant. ”

Seeing that Chen Tian didn't directly agree, Scarlett pouted: "I can't even agree to this, which shows that you are not sincere." ”

Scarlett Johansson in the form of a little girl?

Before the crossing, Chen Tian couldn't imagine this kind of Scarlett, but at this moment, it was really happening in front of his eyes.

"But only a little bit is allowed. ”

"That's for sure, I'm going to keep my figure. Scarlett smiled.

"Why don't you go back and change your clothes?" Chen Tian turned his head and asked when the bus stopped in Los Angeles' Chinatown, where Scarlett was staying, the Leeds Carlton Hotel was nearby.

"No, I like it. Scarlett walked towards McDonald's on the side of the street.

When Chen Tian and Scarlett Johansson walked into McDonald's, a white man and a black man stopped on the side of the road at the door.

The black man looked depressed: "Well, I'm so hungry, I ran for a day and didn't find anything of value, you know, this is Los Angeles, I can't believe my luck will be so bad today." ”

"Jack, today we are all God's forgotten people, maybe we should go to church this week.

But the most important thing now is to fill your stomach, and with the Los Angeles Lakers game tonight, we might be able to get what we want there. The white man shrugged, also with an unhappy expression.

The two of them are free paparazzi, that is, the kind of people who keep wandering around, and if they catch the news, they will call the various newspaper offices and sell the news to whoever bids.

"Or maybe it's here. The black man pointed at McDonald's with a pained expression, "Thinking that it would take ten dollars to fill my stomach, and if I can't find any good news in the evening, I feel like I need to let my brain suffer with my stomach tomorrow." ”

"OK, we can't go to the big dinner anyway. The white man pouted and walked in, while at McDonald's, Chen Tian and Scarlett were ordering.

"All I need is a barley fish burger set, but it looks a bit big. Scarlett pointed.

"Get me one too. ”

"Two McAyuki burger set, a total of eight dollars. The waiter said with his trademark smile.

Chen Tian directly handed over a ten-dollar sheet, "The other two dollars belong to you." ”

In the United States, very few people eat at McDonald's KFC restaurants, and most of them are taken away, so there are plenty of empty seats in the restaurant.

"Sit there, by the window. Scarlett said, pointing to the window.

Chen Tian walked over, but a huge figure in the dining room attracted his attention, because this figure was really huge, and the flesh on his body shook with the chewing of the corners of his mouth.

Undoubtedly, the big white fat man in front of him made Chen Tian sigh the horror of junk food, and at this moment, Chen Tian suddenly popped up with a film in his mind, more precisely, an ultra-low-budget documentary.

The documentary eventually grossed more than $10 million in North America, and nearly 30 million at the box office worldwide.

Combined with its production costs, the return on investment calculated is amazing, and even in 2017, it still ranks fourth in the history of film ROI, behind "Chainsaw", "Blair the Witch", and the American version of "The Grudge".

Low cost, high return.

This is what Chen Tian wants at this stage, he doesn't have so much money to toss a big production.

Earn the greatest possible return with the smallest investment, as is the case with "Buried Alive".

Then this documentary, which has an investment of only tens of thousands of dollars and may not even cost so much, Chen Tian does not plan to let it go.

No one will get along with money, especially Chen Tian, who is in dire need of money.

And this documentary does not require a very high level of director, he only needs to provide his own ideas and find people.

In this way, he can also shoot "Buried Alive" with peace of mind, while also sitting and waiting to collect the money.

Putting down the plate and looking at Scarlett in the sunset, Chen Tian had a feeling in a trance - Scarlett was his virtuous helper.

If it weren't for Scarlett, maybe he was still worried about how to shoot it at the moment, and if it weren't for Scarlett, he wouldn't have come here to think of this documentary that was very lucrative for him.
