Chapter 16: Seeking Release
After the filming of the school dormitory scene, it was naturally the turn of the school sports meeting and dance party, which were the most interesting in the whole film of "Happy Ghost".
These two scenes are more troublesome to shoot, because they need to use a large number of actors, and most of these actors need to be seventeen or eighteen years old, at least on the surface, they have to look like high school students, so it is not suitable for Huaxia Film and Television City to find many extras.
In order to achieve the atmosphere, Meng Chao simply discussed with the school to hold a real school sports meeting, and Meng Chao sponsored the athletes' clothing and drinks and the decoration of the venue, so that the filming could continue.
There are three main roles filmed in the sports meeting, of which the main attraction is how the happy ghost played by Huang Baiming uses his magic to help Lin Qingqing played by Guan Zhilin win the trophy, and Lin Xiaohua's saving zài is mainly to be a cheerleader and relay run.
This can be said to be the scene where Zhu Xiucai, the main character, shows his might, holding Lin Qingqing's pole vault and long jump and throwing iron balls with his hands, and destroying the arrogant leading female athletes with his body, and the final relay run simply replaced the baton of other school athletes with other props......
thus helped Lin Qingqing win the championship, and in addition to this shooting, other students in the school also conducted corresponding competitions as usual, Meng Chao and Huang Baiming also scored as judges, and the whole process was very smooth.
After the evening, he immediately began to shoot the plot of the ball, Huang Baiming cast a spell to identify Prince Charming for Lin Xiaohua, using the halo on his head as the standard, and selected Meng Chao with a colorful halo on his head, so the relationship between Lin Xiaohua, who is convinced of happy ghosts, and the flower man played by Meng Chao has quickly developed further!
And it is very coincidental that after this absurd one, Lin Xiaohua was actually pregnant, and in order to pursue the rich woman Meng Chao planned to let Lin Xiaohua go for surgery, and as a result, the rectification of the happy ghost was ushered in, and then there was a story of the female No. 3 Yan Ruyu cheating in the examination room and wanted to jump off the building to be rescued by the happy ghost, because she used a spell in front of everyone, so the happy ghost's storage zài also let the school know.
The nun of the school burned the rope on which the happy ghost hanged, so that his soul had no place to live, but getting along with the three girls also made Zhu Xiucai's resentment fade day by day, so he could also be reincarnated, and finally at the end of the movie, the happy ghost was reincarnated as Meng Chao's son, and Meng Chao named him Kang Sengui, laying a clue for the second sequel at the end of the movie......
……
"Happy Ghost" officially started filming on December 23, and the filming ended on January 15, with a total production cycle of only 22 days, even if you add post-production zuò sound effects and soundtrack, it will only be about a month.
As for the filming costs, because Meng Chao was not very tight, he spent nearly 980,000 yuan, and many of the expenses were sponsored by Meng Chao's fans on Yaya's live broadcast, so Meng Chao also promised to send a movie ticket to every fan who rewarded when the movie was released.
Because almost all the filming of "Happy Ghost" Meng Chao was directly broadcast live on Yaya Live, so it also created a miracle, the number of viewers in Yaya's live broadcast in these twelve days exceeded the historical record, and even the server was almost crowded.
After seeing some clips of the filming, many tourists have expressed their creativity and highlights, and they are willing to enter the cinema to contribute to Meng Chao's box office, which is also a great comfort for Meng Chao.
And because of the live broadcast of the movie, Meng Chao's fans skyrocketed to 130,000, and in the past half a month, he has received more than 2 million rewards alone!
As for the filming time, in fact, the speed of filming in twelve days is normal, not every filmmaker will be as nervous as Wang Jiawei, a movie is shot for several years, and it is polished over and over again, after all, making movies itself is a very money-burning art, and this kind of gameplay is simply chronic suicide......
Although the team of "Happy Ghost" are all newcomers in the film industry, in the history of the parallel world, they will eventually slowly break out their own achievements in the film industry.
After Meng Chao, as the producer and investor, announced the completion of the completion on the spot, all the staff breathed a sigh of relief, and all that remained was to wait for the release, but Meng Chao gave everyone enough confidence and promised that everyone would be able to see this comedy in the cinema before the Chinese New Year.
……
Whether it is to the fans on Yaya's live broadcast or to the crew of the crew, Meng Chao has made a promise, that is, to let "Happy Ghost" be released during the Chinese New Year, even if it cannot be released at the same time across the country, even if there are fewer screenings, he must take the most difficult first step!
And the breakthrough of this first step is placed on one person, that is, Director Jia of the Cultural Bureau in charge of Shuangbei Cinema Line, whom KENT's brother Zheng Zeshi mentioned to him, this person has a lot of power in the Chinese film industry, as long as he is done, the release of the movie will not be a problem.
So Meng Chao, through the help of Zheng Zeshi, made an appointment to meet this Director Jia in a private club in Qianchahai.
However, before the meeting, Zheng Zeshi had mentioned that this was a very annoying, and now after meeting, Meng Chao quickly understood where this person hated!
"Zheng Zeshi introduced you to me? Damn fat man, what do you say, I still have a lot of work to do! ”
Meng Chao has been in the Yanjing film and television industry for many years, and he has come into contact with a lot of relevant government personnel, and the most annoying of them is this type of character.
However, at the moment, this person's rights are very big, and Meng Chao, a new filmmaker who has entered the industry, can't afford to offend, so he can only make a kind face: "That's the case, Director Jia, my little brother just made a movie, and I want the director to help with the distribution work!" ”
Hearing this, Director Jia shrugged his shoulders, raised his eyebrows and glared at Meng Chao: "Just you?" With such a young scholar making a movie, can you watch what you shoot? Does your movie have a big star? Is the director famous? Invested more than 3 million no? Don't think that I can solve it with money like some government officials, if you take a bunch of garbage and come out, I don't bother to issue it, so as not to let the audience who bought tickets greet Lao Tzu's eight generations of ancestors......"
This old guy chattered a lot, but Meng Chao couldn't refute it, he could only automatically filter out the nonsense he said in his head, after he shut up, Meng Chao hurriedly said: "Director Jia's serious work attitude is worth learning from our young people, I have heard that your style of doing things, the script has brought you all, if you have doubts, how about not taking the time to watch this film in the test screening hall of the double-line cinema?" ”
