Chapter 16: Insufficient Filming Funds (Asking for Recommendations and Collections)
Chapter 16 filming is running out of money
After a whole morning of busy work, I finally finished filming the first episode of "Low-cost Martial Arts Drama", everyone went to the cafeteria for lunch, rested for half an hour, and continued to shoot the second episode of "Have Many Children".
The scene of the first short story in "Giving Birth to Many Children" is borrowed from Zhao Wei's homeroom teacher's office, and the layout of the interior scene is much easier than the layout of the exterior scene, and it only needs to be cleaned up a little bit before you can start work.
Eight minutes later, everyone was ready.
Hou Jun walked over with a clapperboard and clicked, ACTION!
Zhao Wei still appeared expressionlessly, and began to say the opening lines: "My name is Zhao Dazhui, I like my new colleague very much today, I must pursue her!" But what should I do? β
Guan Zhiling and Peng Wenying are both from the acting academy, but Peng Wenying is one grade higher than Guan Zhiling, after all, the two are from the acting academy, and the professionalism of their performances is better than Xiao Jian's classmate N streets in the morning, and many shots are directly passed at one time, and the shooting progress is very smooth!
However, when the scene of Zhao Wei eating Xiaoqiang was filmed, the two girls still couldn't hold back, and laughed together, so they had to do it again!
Then, Guan Zhiling's two little hands shook Zhao Wei's arms vigorously, and said extremely coquettishly: "You are so brave!" I'm going to marry you and have you many, many children!" β
Zhao Wei listened to the sweetness and beauty in his heart, and couldn't help but yearn for this scene, his expression couldn't be held, and he was immediately stopped by Wu Fei, who was filming.
AGAINοΌ
Soon, the filming of the first short story of "Giving Up Many Children" was completed smoothly!
Everyone quickly packed up all kinds of belongings, walked to the school gate together, took two taxis, and went to the hotel with a rather ancient decoration that had been booked a long time ago.
After more than half an hour, a qiΔ was ready to work!
Zhao Wei still appeared expressionlessly, looked at the camera with straight eyes, and said the opening words: "My name is Zhao Dazhu, and I am almost forty years old, but I haven't married a daughter-in-law yet, and my body is not good." β
Zhao Wei said to Lang Zhong played by Hou Jun: "Doctor, I'm sick!" β
Hou Junlang asked sternly, "How did you come alone?" Haven't you gotten married yet? β
β¦β¦
It was the turn of Liu Xiuying, the female owner of the juice shop, who picked her nose with her right hand and said to Zhao Wei, who was sitting opposite, "You are very good!" My lady likes you very much! β
Zhao Wei held the portrait of "beautiful as a fairy" in both hands, compared it with the middle-aged fat girl who looked very ordinary in front of him, and began to complain in his heart: "What a rich girl!" bought the conscience of the painter and the matchmaker. β
Liu Xiuying looked at Zhao Wei with a stern expression.
βSTOP!β Zhao Wei stopped, and he instructed Liu Xiuying to say:
"Sister Liu, your expression is a little stricter now, it looks a little fierce, your expression should be a little more colorful, if you really lack a sense of substitution, you can imagine me in your mind as the actor Hu Chaowei, or the male movie star you like."
Liu Xiuying couldn't help grinning.
β¦β¦
"Hello! Are you Zhao Dazhui? β
Zhao Wei looked at Guan Zhiling, who was slowly approaching him, he raised his left foot and stepped on the stool, slapped his leg hard, and said, "That's right, I am Zhao Da Hammer who flies with talent and character!" β
"Alas! I accidentally pushed too hard, and my legs hurt so much! I'll rub it first. β
β¦β¦
Guan Zhiling looked at Zhao Wei very seriously and said, "May I ask how your family conditions are?" How many sets of horses do you have at home? How many houses? How many official residences? How many stones is Yuelu? β
β¦β¦
Although there were many episodes during the filming, due to the collective performance of the sisters, the filming progress was almost twice as fast as in the morning, and before 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the filming of the second episode of "Giving Up Many Children" was completed ahead of schedule!
The filming of the first two episodes of "Never Expected" has come to an end!
After returning to school, it was still early, and Director Zhao Da, who was striving to be perfect, instructed Wu Fei to re-shoot a shot of Xiao Jian's Great Demon King running slowly in the sunset.
In the next few days, the four animals in the 306 dormitory were full of enthusiasm to devote themselves to the post-editing work!
It only took about a week, and the finished product of the first two episodes of "Never Expected" was freshly baked!
March 30, 2012, it was a Friday noon.
Xiao Jian called his girlfriend Peng Wenying, and director Zhao Da invited the school flower Guan Zhiling and the juice shop owner Liu Xiuying to come to their 306 dormitory to attend the premiere of "Never Expected".
Everyone sat down on the stool one after another, and Zhao Wei immediately clicked on the video text in the computer and started to play.
The first thing I heard was the theme song of "Never Expected" sung by the four animals in unison: "Never expected, the festival is gone......"
On the screen, the avatars of all the participants keep swinging their hands and feet, and at the end of the theme song, the title "The Legend of Zhao Sledgehammer" appeared.
The short theme song is followed by an opening satirical advertisement, at the top of which is - this episode is sponsored by "Baekje Aeronautics and Space Agency", in the middle is a Baekje country logo, and below - - "We're going to go to the distance to see if there is anything else in China that can make our Smecta our Smecta out." β
Then there are the subtitles. Episode 1:
"Is it as hot as a dog, it's a hot dog"
"The crew's boxed lunch is so unpalatable that it will die, but if you don't eat it, you will definitely die"
"I have to work hard to act today because I have fifty yuan a day, hehe"
"I'm the man who wants to be the best actor in the world, I must be able to"
"Because I live in No. 23, Building 1, Kyoto, Huaxia Community"
Next, Zhao Wei made a gorgeous appearance with an expressionless face, and began to introduce himself: "My name is Zhao Dazhui......"
Although the two girls had already read the script and participated in it, in about ten minutes of these two episodes, the two of them still laughed from beginning to end, laughing so much that their stomachs hurt from laughter.
And Liu Xiuying, the female owner of the juice shop, although she laughed very much, she still couldn't help laughing out loud several times.
The two girls still had classes in the afternoon of five or six classes, and Liu Xiuying, the female owner of the juice shop, had to rush back to sell juice, and after watching the video for a while, they quickly left the 306 dormitory one after another.
Wu Fei said to the three animals that there would be a dormitory meeting, he sat on the stool, looked a little sad and said, "What should I do next?" We only have the last 100 dollars left for the shooting! β
The upfront funds for the filming of "Never Expected" came from the four animals in the 306 dormitory, a total of 6,000 yuan, which has almost overdrawn their living expenses for several months, and even eating this month has become a big problem!
Hou Jun frowned and said, "Otherwise, the brothers will all ask the old man in the family to ask for something?" β
Zhao Wei shook his head and vetoed: "This is not good! My brothers are all adults of such an old grade, and they are always looking for money from their families, which is really not suitable. β
Wu Fei sighed and asked tentatively: "Why don't you find two girls and Sister Liu to borrow a little to deal with the emergency?" β
Xiao Jian categorically vetoed: "NO! NOοΌ A good man shouldn't spend a woman's money! β
Zhao Wei looked at the three entangled and distressed animals in the bedroom, and said with a smile: "Brothers, don't worry! The post-funding is just a very small problem, and it's not worth mentioning at all, buddy, I can get it done in minutes. β
Wu Fei touched Zhao Wei's forehead and said in disbelief: "Viagra, you don't seem to have a fever?!" β
"Go while it's cool!" Zhao Wei stretched out his hand and pushed away the salty pig hand on his forehead, and continued: "It's very simple! We can broadcast first and shoot later! β
"Broadcast before shooting?! What do you mean? The three animals asked with a confused expression on their faces, a little puzzled.
Zhao Wei patiently explained: "Broadcast first and shoot later is literal. Let's sign a contract with a video site and broadcast it, and after earning the required funds, we will continue to shoot the next episodes. β
Hou Jun pondered for a moment, and he asked a very critical question: "We have only filmed two episodes now, and at that time, I am very worried that the filming schedule will not be able to catch up with the demand of broadcasting!?" β
Zhao Wei replied unhurriedly: "This question is actually easy to handle, "Never Expected" only airs one episode a week. β
Wu Fei immediately objected: "The second season of "New Three Kingdoms" is broadcast twice a week! Wouldn't it be too little to only broadcast one episode a week? After all, we only have about five minutes in an episode! β
Zhao Wei shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "This is also a matter of no way!" However, there is still a great benefit to broadcasting one episode a week, which can whet the appetite of the audience. β
The plan has been decided, Zhao Wei took the USB flash drive of the first two episodes of "Never Expected" and went out confidently! His preferred destination, of course, is the leader of all video sites - Teku Video Network!
