Chapter Twenty-Seven
…
When the anger is over!
When her anger subsided, Luo Meiwei began to think about whether she would continue to play the leading role.
"Don't act? Do you still let my mother-in-law, who is almost seventy, raise me? Moreover, my tofu has already been eaten by that bastard, and it would be a great loss if I don't make some money! In addition, my mother-in-law signed a fifteen-year contract with that bastard, and if I don't act, will that bastard sue my mother-in-law with a rake?" Luo Mei thought slightly.
"Acting, what should I do if that bastard gets worse?" Luo Meiwei thought again.
Time passed by second, and Xu Cun left less and less time for Luo Meiwei......
When there were only five minutes left, Luo Meiwei cleaned herself up in the mirror, and then walked out of the dressing room.
Luo Meiwei thought about it - hide from Xu Cun in the future, wait for her wings to grow hard, and then find a way to escape from Xu Cun's clutches.
Seeing Luo Meiwei come out on time, Xu Cun knew that Luo Meiwei completely gave in. So, he walked up to Luo Meiwei with a smile and deliberately twisted his head to the side, and then honestly and unceremoniously hugged Luo Meiwei's waist and kissed Luo Meiwei's small mouth with a deep kiss.
It wasn't until Luo Meiwei, whose head was blank, kissed her breathlessly that Xu Cun gave up, and then said domineeringly: "That's right! Don't worry, I will treat you well in the future." ”
Then, Luo Meiwei, who was relieved, was hugged by Xu Cun and went to the sports field.
Luo Meiwei, who was walking like a machine, thought sadly: "I'm afraid, before my wings grow hard, I will be eaten by this bastard to the point that there are no bones left......"
……
When he was about to arrive at the sports field, Xu Cun took the initiative to let go of Luo Meiwei, and then took the lead in walking to the shooting venue, while Luo Meiwei followed behind Xu Cun like a child who had done something wrong.
Maybe Xu Cun's training worked, and when he turned on again, Luo Mei's slightly high jump scene passed once.
……
After filming for four days at Tiu Keng Ling Middle School, the crew went to the Polytechnic University again - Tiu Keng Ling Middle School is too broken, but the middle school in "Happy Ghost" is a high-end school, so many scenes cannot be filmed at Tiu Keng Ling Middle School.
The dormitory, table tennis room, dance hall, and swimming pool that Zhong Zhen contacted Xu Cun were all in the Polytechnic University.
It cost Xu to save 10,000 yuan for renting three dormitories, table tennis rooms, dance halls, and swimming pools from the University of Science and Technology for seven days.
Moreover, the table tennis room and dance hall can only be used during the holidays, and they have to be cleaned up after filming.
In addition, if it is more than seven days, you have to add another fee.
Xu Cun didn't want to spend extra money, so he worked hard to squeeze the rest time of the crew and strive to get it done within seven days.
It's a pity that no matter how much Xu Cun squeezes it, he can't change the fact that most of the crew members of "Happy Ghost" are newcomers. Therefore, the scene at the Polytechnic University still exceeded Xu Cun's expectations, and it took a full eleven days of filming to end.
……
Kowloon Maternity Hospital.
Li Saifeng was lying on the bed holding a baby borrowed from the maternity department.
"Hey, this kid is so weird!" Luo Meiwei said as she bit the apple and looked at the child.
"It seems to be Zhu Bangyan. Wen Bixuan said holding up the camera.
"Could it be that Zhu Xiucai was reincarnated as Xiaohua's son?" Luo Meiwei said with a look of surprise.
"Zhu Xiucai, call me Dad!" Dong Wei said with a fierce expression.
"Wow......" the baby cried.
"Click!" shouted Xu Cun, who was carrying the camera.
After watching the scene just filmed, Xu Cun showed a smile and announced: "I announce that "Happy Ghost" is finished!"
As soon as Xu Cun's words came out, there were suddenly cheers from everyone in the delivery room......
……
After cheering, Zhong Zhen began to organize the crew to carry the equipment for filming, and the props crew began to clean up the delivery room.
Xu Cun took out five hundred yuan and stuffed it to the baby's father, and said with a smile: "Mr. Qian, if you have time, you and your lover must come to see our "Happy Ghost", this is your son's debut." ”
"Definitely!definitely!" replied the baby's father with a smile.
……
At the beginning, Xu Cun's budget for "Happy Ghost" was 500,000. However, since most of the people in the crew are newcomers, the final cost of filming is more than 580,000.
plus the post-recording, soundtrack, editing, printing and so on, the cost of "Happy Ghost" is about 62 or 30,000 yuan.
Advocacy.
When Xu Cun planned "Oriental Fashion" for "Oriental Daily", Xu Jixin promised Xu Cun instead of Ma Chengkun to give Xu Cun a free color advertisement in the most eye-catching position of the sub-page of Xu Cun's zài for free.
In other words, Xu Cun has saved the bulk of this piece of publicity.
……
In the later production of zuò, Xu Cun asked Zhao Zhenqiang for help.
Zhao Zhenqiang, who got "Sword Like a Dream", gave Xu Cun a lot of face, and he used his connections to give Xu Cun a convenient door, so that Xu Cun could make "Happy Ghost" out in the shortest time.
After finishing the production of "Happy Ghost", Xu Cun deliberately copied three copies.
This money must not be saved - once there is an accident, Xu Cun's efforts for more than a year will be in vain.
……
After the production of the master film, Zhao Zhenqiang took Xu Cun to the Shaw Brothers Cinema to finalize the specific broadcast time.
After measuring with Wang Hongbing, the manager of Shaw Brothers Cinemas, Xu Cun set the release time of "Happy Ghost" from July 20th to August 11th, a total of 23 days.
The reason why it was seven days less was because Xu Cun had to give place to Shaw Brothers' "Bat Legend" and "Five Poisons".
"Bat Legend" starring Dillon is scheduled to be painted on July 19, while "Five Poisons" directed by Zhang Che is scheduled to be released on August 12.
Of course, Xu Cun can also use the contract to force Shaw Brothers Cinemas to release him for 30 days, but after doing so, he will completely offend Shaw Brothers Cinemas, which is not conducive to the development of DreamWorks.
Moreover, Xu Guanwen's "Deed of Sale" will be released on August 3, and "Happy Ghost" will inevitably be affected to a certain extent, so twenty-three days is enough for Xu Cun.
Seeing that Xu Cun was so good, Wang Hongbing set the bottom fee at 145,000 per day, and gave Xu Cun a discount and charged Xu Cun 70,000 copies and other miscellaneous expenses.
……
As soon as July began, the supplement of "Oriental Daily" had an extra color movie poster of Xu Cun wearing swimsuits with Luo Meiwei, Li Saifeng and Wen Bixuan wearing swimsuits and twisting Xu Cun's ears on the left and right right directly below "Ethereal Journey".
In the most eye-catching position of the poster, it is written, starring, director, producer, screenwriter, photography, music, art, editing...... Xu Cun.
Clear-eyed people can see at a glance that the purpose of Xu Cun's move is to rely on the youth and beauty of Li Saifeng and the three to attract the audience to buy movie tickets and ask his fans to pay - from this point it is not difficult to see that Xu Cun is a person who will do anything to achieve his goals.
Actually, Xu Cun doesn't want to do this, but he really has no other way - in the whole "Happy Ghost", there is no one who has a little reputation in the film industry, if Xu Cun doesn't take advantage of the youth and beauty of Li Saifeng and the three of them, and doesn't find his iron fans to stand and cheer, the attendance rate of the premiere may not even be 10%.
So, although it was shameless, Xu Cun still did it.
……
While "Happy Ghost" is in full swing for publicity, Xu Cun is also looking for a master-made animated title for Zuò Dream Factory......
