Chapter 17: Filming "Low-Cost Martial Arts"
This is Shen Ao's first micro-film, and it is also the first film that is completely his own in the true sense. He woke up before dawn and couldn't sleep anymore, so he simply got up and practiced a routine and practiced his throat again.
God gives face, there is no rain and no dark clouds.
The filming location is very close, so there is less back and forth.
What can you shoot in a day's micro-film?
"Low-cost martial arts"!
This is the first episode of the spoof micro-movie "Never Expected", which turned out to be a world of easy-to-call beasts, white customers and others who became famous in one fell swoop, and it is also a rare example of success in micro-films.
Rong Ze is the leading actor, he read the script, but he didn't see the actor configuration.
Li Wan is the No. 1 supporting actor, the No. 2 supporting actor, and the anti-corner boss + heroine......
When the No. 1 supporting actor appeared, Rong Ze was stunned for a moment, even if he was mentally prepared, he was taken aback by Li Wan's obscenity, and he laughed.
"Don't laugh, do it all over again......"
This micro-movie really doesn't have high acting requirements, but there are a lot of laughs.
When the heroine finally appeared, the audience burst into laughter......
Well, when he met such a heroine, Rong Ze couldn't cry or laugh, he understood the hero's mood very well.
Even if it is a funny micro-movie, it is not so easy, and the plot of just a few minutes, when Shen Ao is already confident and has no extra shooting, he also filmed for most of the day. During this period, Li Jiyuan even came to take a look, and even encouraged Shen Ao a few words.
"Finished!" At three o'clock in the afternoon, Shen Ao officially announced the shooting part of his first micro-film. There wasn't much of a lively response from everyone, just a few laughs and a little peace.
took the props and appliances back to the crew, and the other people's affairs were over, and Shen Ao directly sent the salary. Except for Rong Ze, Shen Ao knew that if he wanted to borrow his fame, it was not appropriate to pay any amount of money, Rong Ze's friendship performance didn't matter, it didn't matter if he lowered his value.
Shen Ao pulled Rong Ze aside and said, "Since Brother Ze is so polite, I won't give you the salary, but if this micro-movie has any gains, I will give you a big red envelope." In addition, after the micro-film is edited, I will post it on the Internet, I don't know if I can mention Brother Ze's name. β
Rong Ze pondered for a long time, then nodded and said, "Yes, but it must be noted that it is a friendship performance." "Since you have given favors, you will simply give Quan, yesterday Shen Ao's expression made him more willing to befriend this young man.
"Thank you, Brother Ze." Shen Ao's thanks came from the bottom of his heart, whether he could borrow the fame of a star or not was very different for a micro-movie. Everything is difficult at the beginning, but with Rong Ze, a TV series star (even if it is a third-rate) to do publicity, it is several times easier.
The movie is finished, and Shen Ao will edit it himself, although he is not too proficient, but it is not difficult to draw a gourd in the same way. The rest is the special effects.
Yes, anyone who has watched "Low-Cost Martial Arts" knows that the special effect ...... However, this really needs to be done by a special effects artist, at least Shen Ao himself will not. Of course, this kind of special effect is not difficult for any special effects artist, even an intern, Shen Ao is looking for Lao Zhang's acquaintance, so that he will not be leaked out.
Shen Ao didn't know whether the running under the sunset in the original "Low-cost Martial Arts" was a real shot or a special effect, he used it as a special effect himself, because it was too expensive and time-consuming to find another sunset and shoot it again.
But in the next few days, Shen Ao didn't have time to find a special effects artist, because although his play was not long, there were a lot of scenes, and they were scattered. It's extremely rare to have a small crew in a crew, even if it's only for one day. Li Jiyuan gave him such a big face, of course he had to go all out in filming, so naturally he didn't have the energy to take care of him.
In five days, Shen Ao's role was over, it stands to reason that he is no longer an assistant to the crew, and he should leave the crew, but Liu Danan is gone, Li Jiyuan is short of people here, seeing that Shen Ao understands acting and knows how to film and work diligently, he simply promoted Shen Ao to the position of assistant director.
is also doing chores, but the chores of the director's assistant are of a higher grade than the chores of the crew assistant, and Shen Ao is busy with filming.
At this time, the reason why Officer Chen was so reluctant was also found, Liu Danan originally wanted to stuff into the crew was his nephew, no wonder he worked so hard to embarrass Shen Ao. Li Jiyuan and Liu Ye reacted to the situation with the local people without yin or yang, and they don't know how much effect they have, but they can't disgust him.
Becoming Li Jiyuan's assistant director helped Shen Ao a lot, and he could steal teachers openly and openly by following Li Jiyuan. Ordinary people don't learn much from the director, but Shen Ao is different, he has actually been an executive director twice, and many times when he sees Li Jiyuan make different treatments, he can naturally understand.
Before becoming the director's assistant, Shen Ao didn't go home during a day's break, and went directly to the special effects artist to do special effects. When the special effects artist did the special effects, he naturally showed a sore look, and this special effect was really too scummy......
In the end, the finished product of "Low-cost Martial Arts" came out, and Shen Ao calculated the cost, but it only cost fifteen thousand. Of course, the crew borrowed props and borrowed cameras from the Dazhuang camera crew, which allowed him to save too much. And because the gourd is still painted, the speed is extremely fast, it only took one day, the time is short, the natural labor cost is greatly reduced, and there is no publicity expense. If you really set up a small crew to shoot by yourself, the cost will more than double.
A few days later, Shen Ao sent Liu Ye a copy and told him not to leak it out for the time being. Because Shen Ao wants to wait for "The Grass Era" to be broadcast, Rong Ze's fame will be greater, and he will upload it to the Internet, and at the same time, he can also borrow the limelight of "The Grass Era". As for whether the TV series will not be broadcast for a long time? Shen Ao is not worried, because it is said that part of the trailer and content have been edited and shown to the provincial station, and the provincial station has also confirmed the project and paid the deposit.
Liu Ye didn't reply immediately after watching the micro-movie, she can't make requests to the company lightly, and even whether to shoot MTV or not depends on record sales or influence, and it naturally takes a while for the record to come out. However, since she didn't say no right away, it is obvious that Shen Ao's directing skills can barely pass her eyes.
In fact, Shen Ao knows that if he shoots other micro-films, it is more suitable to require MTV, but the first thing to consider is the cost, and the second is his own shooting level. It's not that "Never Expected" is easy to shoot, but even if there is something wrong with the shooting of a micro-film in the form of a spoof like that, it will not have much impact on the quality of the work.
Speaking of which, don't watch "Low-Cost Martial Arts" so simple, Shen Ao knows almost every picture and action of it, but if it weren't for Shen Ao being the executive director of two garbage movies in another world, and having a certain directorial foundation, I'm afraid he wouldn't even be able to plagiarize this, let alone other Yan SΓΉ type of micro-movies.
Taking "Low-Cost Martial Arts" to practice, even if it only takes one day, is also an accumulation for Shen Ao. And being an assistant to the director also has a great effect on the improvement of Shen Ao's directorial level. Li Jiyuan is not very famous, but he is an academic director from a standard film and television university, and his basic skills are very solid, and his standard knowledge and practices have extremely important basic teaching significance for Shen Ao of Ye Luzi. can steal teachers openly, Shen Ao feels too happy.
