Chapter 202 Scene 202 The mentality of comedy
As the assistant director, Ning Hao, watching Li Xiaole obediently put these people in order, he didn't know how much to admire, but he couldn't help but curiously leaned next to the executive producer Fang Guorong and asked:
"Producer Fang, Director Li, isn't the money really out of the budget?"
"Well, he came out of it himself." Fang Guorong nodded.
"Ah...... Then Director Li is really courageous. Ning Hao looked at Li Xiaole with admiration, but at the same time he sweated in his heart.
Fang Guorong also sighed in his heart, he admired and laughed at Li Xiaole's decision, it is very rare for a young person to be enthusiastic about movies, but as a director, it is extremely unwise to post money to go in, in the film and television industry, there is a special rule for the director's profession, that is, never invest in movies shot by himself.
Sounds incredible, doesn't the director invest more in filming himself? But if you know a little bit about it, you will know the truth, just like the reason that a surgeon will never operate on his relatives, once he invests in the film, he will be too concerned about the gains and losses of this drama, which will seriously affect the level of filming and lose the ability to make rational judgments.
And more importantly, if the investment fails, then the director will leave an indelible shadow on the film work, which is extremely terrible for the director's artistic life, even Spielberg cannot guarantee that his film department will make money, commercial films have the law of commercial films.
Fang Guorong wrote down the evaluation words "impulsive, aggressive" in his notebook, but he felt very sorry in his heart, alas, in case the box office of this movie can't recover the cost, I hope this young man can regroup......
****
With the start of filming of "Crazy Stone", Li Xiaole's life began to enter that high-speed mode again, and he did it himself every day of filming, directing various departments to complete the filming of Jihua in one venue.
I have to say that although there are still a few years before the filming time of "Crazy Stone" in the previous life, whether it is "Brother Dao" Liu Ye and Huang Bo, Yue Xiaojun, the thief trio, or the profiteer partner of "Four Eyes" Wang Xun and Feng Dong's Xu Zheng, and even Peng Bo who plays Xie Xiaomeng, they have all reached the state that Li Xiaole expected.
In my memory, although the logical arrangement of the script of "Crazy Stone" is particularly interesting, the main line is slightly weaker, because there are too many dazzling characters, but the supporting roles are more memorable.
And Sun Honglei, who has been trained for half a month in Zen Qi, already has a feeling of being reborn, at least in the role of Bao Shihong, he has achieved the realm of lifting weights like light.
There was a scene where a stone was stolen, and Bao Shihong checked the video in the monitoring station, because he wanted to express the scattered eyes that had not slept for several days, he wanted to give a close-up.
If it was before, no matter how relaxed Sun Honglei was, his eyes would show a sinister aura in the close-up, but after this shooting, Sun Honglei went to the monitor to take a look, looking at the dazed and completely relaxed eyes, he himself couldn't close his mouth with joy, and hugged Ning Hao's shoulders and was only happy:
"It's okay~ Deputy Director Ning, I thought the meditation you taught me was useless, but I didn't expect it to be effective, look at my eyes, don't you look like a bodhisattva?"
"That's right, otherwise you think that we intellectuals have broken brains and just sit there in a daze at the Buddha statue when we have nothing to do?" Ning Hao smirked, but his eyes unconsciously looked at Li Xiaole.
To be honest, although he himself is a Buddhist, it is the first time he has heard that meditation training can make actors enter a relaxed state. It seems that as long as it's about film and television, he doesn't understand anything.
And what is even more surprising is that Sun Li, who plays Jingjing, although the original story is very good, is mainly male, which makes the movie lose some magic, due to the appearance of Sun Li, the whole story is much more vivid, but the sequelae is that Sun Li, who is full of amorous feelings in the film, has become the target of all single men in the crew, as long as she is there every day, the drinks and snacks in front of her never stop.
Sun Li has a very kind and considerate personality, and she is very polite and polite to everyone who is good to her, and distributes the snacks and drinks that everyone gave him to other seniors in the crew, which also makes the rest of the crew have a better and better impression of her.
Although everything went well, during the break after filming a scene this day, Li Xiaole sat with Ning Hao, Lao Jiangtou, and Fang Guorong to watch the footage of Haode just filmed.
The effects were all filmed, but it just felt like a fly in the ointment, but everyone couldn't say anything about it.
"Lao Jiang, is it because your subordinates are careless?" Fang Guorong couldn't find a reason, so he pointed the finger at Lao Jiangtou.
"Producer Fang, don't talk nonsense." Lao Jiangtou puffed out his dim eyes, and said very unhappily: "Let me tell you, although my Lao Jiang has a bad reputation in the factory, but in business, the team I lead can withstand it, and they are absolutely 100% attentive." ”
"Intentions? So weishenme is so awkwardly filmed? Fang Guorong frowned and said: "I don't believe that the people you bring are only at this level, you have participated in "Opium War" directed by Xie Jin before, you Weishenme and Xie Jin can shoot such a haode effect, and the level of the second studio will plummet?" ”
"Then I'm only at this level!?" Lao Jiangtou's old face was black and scary, so he simply closed his eyes and stopped talking.
"You ......" Fang Guorong didn't expect Lao Jiangtou to be such a scoundrel, and he was helpless for a while.
Seeing that the atmosphere is so stiff, Ning Hao, a small character, can't interject at all, but Li Xiaole has been thinking about what is going on, he can feel that these people in the crew are indeed very devoted, and the strings are very tight, in terms of professional level, it is actually no worse than that of South Korea, but it is that one plus one is less than two, and there is no chemistry in the Korean crew before.
What is the problem, Li Xiaole looked back and saw that the employees of China Film were busy at the scene, and everyone was very attentive to doing their own things...... What is wrong with it? After careful observation, he suddenly found that these behind-the-scenes personnel of China Film have a common characteristic, that is, they have a "bitter look", whether it is a lamp, a radio, or a person who is busy laying the track, his expression is very painful, as if he is enduring something.
How many people outside the circle dream of making a movie, but how can these people make this thing so painful? It's a comedy...... Something made in this state is naturally awkward.
Li Xiaole finally figured out the reason, so he clapped his hands and said loudly: "Okay, everyone stop and rest first." Come and sit. ”
When everyone heard this shout, they all breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that they could finally rest, Li Xiaole commanded the field workers, moved the bench away, spread newspapers on the ground, and let Fang Guorong, Lao Jiangtou, and Ning Hao all sit together in a big circle with everyone.
"Director~ Do you want to see that we are too tired to sing with us~" Sun Li looked at the joke with a smile, and everyone laughed.
"Be serious~" Lao Jiangtou snorted with a cold face, looked around and said loudly: "You know that you don't know that the things you shoot can't be used, and you're still smiling here, the director is going to give you a lecture." "Shouted out the sullen anger that Fang Guorong had just had.
Lao Jiangtou roared, and everyone immediately didn't dare to make a sound, and everyone lowered their heads.
"Okay, Lao Jiang, I'll come." Li Xiaole smiled and comforted Lao Jiangtou, and then turned his head to everyone:
"I think everyone also knows that we didn't shoot very well during this time, the actors acted very well, and I also know that each of you is very attentive, but the effect is not good, do you know the reason?"
Everyone was silent, but they didn't dare to speak, but their faces were very tangled.
"yes, that's the expression." Li Xiaole smiled and pointed at everyone: "You have always had this expression when you are working, so the things you shoot are not good, we are a comedy, you can't use the bitter hatred of filming revolutionary scenes, right?" ”
Li Xiaole's humorous and relaxed tone, everyone below was amused, and Liu Da, the leader of the props team, asked with a smile: "Director, you are fooling us again, we are socialist materialists, even if we are bitter and hateful, it has nothing to do with our work, you really can't blame us~"
"Yes~Director, you can't blame us for everything~~" "We're not lazy~"
"Okay, let me make an analogy." Li Xiaole saw that the atmosphere was lively, and his tone was relaxed, and he pointed at Liu Da's nose and said, "Old Liu, did you learn love letters to your lover when you were young?" Have you ever said anything about meat? ”
"This ...... It seems that I really didn't say it......" Liu Da's nose was flushed, and he stammered.
"Liu Dabi, don't lie to people, when you first entered Beiying before, you wrote love letters to your sister-in-law every day and sent them to their office, what dear little dolphin, you have been swimming in my heart for another day today, disturbing my heart......" An acquaintance immediately coaxed below.
Everyone was hahadaxiao for a while, and Liu Da's nose also broke the news in public, and he simply tilted his neck and shouted: "I wrote it~ What's the matter, Lao Zhang, you chased your wife and kissed your wife in the factory at that time~"
Everyone listened to the excitement of "whooping" and coaxing, laughing happily, Li Xiaole made a quiet gesture and said with a smile:
"Then in that case, Lao Liu, your writing is definitely better now than when you were young, and you have more experience, you write a love letter now, I have 500 yuan here, you write it, I will award it to you immediately." As he spoke, he took out 5 hundred-dollar bills and slapped them on the ground.
