Chapter 080: "Nightclub" is finished!
Zhongbo Century Film and Television Media Co., Ltd., Ma Yuan spent another night in the company.
Since he officially went to work on the fifth day of the first lunar month, Ma Yuan has been apprehensive and anxious. The script "Crazy Stone", which was just a little interesting in his eyes, was actually favored by Chen Jing, a great director from Xiangjiang!
Many people may not have heard of Chen Jing's name. He is a veritable great director!
Chen Jing is an alternative and a geek in the Hong Kong film industry. Although his films have rarely been successful at the commercial box office, they are quite artistic, and have won many international awards, which have attracted many fans.
Some people say that Chen Jing is another Wang Jiawei, but in fact, the two are not comparable.
Wang Jiawei is the spokesperson of the petty bourgeoisie, emphasizing the emotional atmosphere, while Chen Jing calls himself a "grassroots director". From the beginning of his career as a director, he has focused on the living conditions of the low-class people in Hong Kong, and each of his films has a strong sense of realism, but it is very different from the realistic films we are usually familiar with.
Chen's road to fame was not all smooth sailing. When he was a student, he worked as a summer worker in a theater as a projectionist. In the early 80s, he entered the film industry, and worked as a scene manager, lighting team worker, assistant director, producer, as well as planner and director, and knew every position well. In 1993, he officially directed "The Big Trouble in Guangchanglong" for the first time, but after filming, he was placed in the warehouse for three years, which was undoubtedly a huge blow to Chen Jing. But with a stubborn personality, he persevered and succeeded.
In 1997, Chen Jing used 500,000 yuan of funds and 80,000 feet of film discarded by others to make a piece of "Made in Hong Kong". This film made him a blockbuster. Not only won the Best Director Award at the Hong Kong Film Awards, but also participated in many local and international film festivals, winning more than 20 awards!
The subsequent filming of "Last Year's Fireworks Were Extraordinarily Large" was selected for the Grand Jury Prize at the Berlin International Film Festival, and "Thin Road" also became a hot topic in Hong Kong. These three films are known as Chen Jing's film "trilogy", and they also established Chen Jing's status in Hong Kong films and even the international film industry.
is such a great director, who actually took a fancy to the movie script that was priced at 8,000 yuan by Ma Yuan!
Chen Jing bid 300,000 yuan on the spot, and Ma Yuan, who was obsessed with ghosts, worked overtime overnight, and forcibly gave "Crazy Stone" a dog-tailed mink, and the screenwriter's name was changed to his name - Ma Yuan.
Chen Yuan and Ma Yuan are only one word apart.
After Chen Jing got the script, she was a little disappointed. Because the rest of the script is obviously not as exciting as the previous one. But he still paid 300,000 yuan to Ma Yuan as promised.
After getting the money, Ma Yuan was very excited for a while, but as the New Year approached, he suddenly became uneasy.
A teenager named Chen Yuan was hyped up by major newspapers and media. This person's name is the same as the name of the original creator of "Crazy Stone", they are all called Chen Yuan!
If Chen Yuan was just an unknown little person, Ma Yuan would definitely not care. With his influence in the circle, he can completely crush Chen Yuan into slag!
But what if this Chen Yuan is not a small person? What if he is the Chen Yuan who created "The Sealed Demon"?
This is where Ma Yuan's uneasiness comes from. He was afraid that the matter would be exposed, and he would be out of control!
In the past two days, reports about Chen Yuan have appeared in the newspapers one after another, and Chen Yuan's investment in making movies has been hyped up by everyone. Although the name of the movie is not "Crazy Stone", he has a relationship with this circle after all. Ma Yuan was afraid that what he was worried about would become a reality, so he could only keep increasing the price and sending email after email. But so far, I haven't received a reply from the other party.
At five o'clock in the morning, Ma Yuan, who was asleep on his desk, woke up. He looked up and scanned the computer screen, and there was a new email lying in his mailbox! He felt a burst of excitement in his heart, and couldn't help but click on the new email.
Sure enough, it was an email from Chen Yuan, and he finally replied!
However, to Ma Yuan's disappointment, Chen Yuan did not agree to sell the script to him. Instead, he told him that "Crazy Stone" had entered the stage of preparation and filming. What Ma Yuan feared the most still happened!
What to do? Ma Yuan stood up, his pale face constantly changing.
What to do? Once "Crazy Stone" is released, his "Magic Green Jade" will be considered plagiarism! Not only will his reputation be ruined, but he will also offend a great director of Xiangjiang, and he will no longer be accommodated by this circle!
What to do? Ma Yuan's heart moved, picked up the phone on the table, and dialed Chen Jing's number.
The phone rang for a long time before it was connected.
"Hey, where?" Chen Jing's voice sounded.
"Hello Director Chen, I am the manager of the film and television production department of Zhongbo Century Film and Television Media, and I am also the screenwriter of "Magic Green Jade" Ma Yuan."
"Oh, it's you, what's the matter?"
"I take the liberty of asking, when will the filming of "Magic Green Jade" start?"
"What do you mean?"
"I'm really sorry, I know this kind of thing is not for me to ask, but I have high expectations for this script and would love to see my script made into a movie. So ......"
"Oh, we started preparing a few years ago, and in about a month, we will be able to start the machine! You are the screenwriter of this script, and I will have to trouble you when the time comes. ”
"Where, don't worry, I promise to be on call!"
Ma Yuan hung up the phone, but he was still apprehensive. The crew of "Nightclub" has to finish filming a movie in eight days! Although this is unheard of, there are Du Qifeng's deeds of filming a "Gunfire" in 19 days, and the heroic words of the "Nightclub" crew are not impossible to achieve.
"Nightclub" can be filmed in eight days, so how many days does "Crazy Stone" take?
Ma Yuan's brows were deeply locked, and his face became more and more ugly. Suddenly, he was completely relaxed again.
He thinks too much, how many Du Qifeng are there in this world? The crew of "Nightclub" is obviously a grass stage team, and it is impossible to expect them to make a successful film work!
On the afternoon of the 14th day of the first lunar month, there was a crowd of people outside the Connaught 24-hour convenience store.
Almost all the reporters from newspapers and media of all sizes were present, and there were even passers-by who did not know the situation to come and watch.
When Guan Hu arrived with the crew members, they were taken aback, what a spectacular scene this is?!
A large number of reporters quickly surrounded him, and they lowered the microphone in front of Guan Hu, and asked loudly: "Hello Director Guan Hu, today is the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, and the eight-day deadline announced by your crew is the last day, can you complete the shooting task on time?" ”
Guan Hu didn't say a word, and the crew members behind him protected him and squeezed in the direction of the convenience store.
But the reporters didn't get the information they wanted, so they didn't let them go at all. Guan Hu and the others were forced to stay there helplessly.
Huang Bo, who was following behind, quickly called the police. Five minutes later, the police from the police station arrived, and only then did they disperse the crazy reporters.
After the crew members successfully entered the convenience store, they sweated profusely, which was an unprecedented encounter.
Guan Hu suddenly laughed and said to everyone: "This time we are really going to be hot!" ”
Everyone laughed.
The crew entered the final stage of filming, and the task in the first half of the night was relatively easy, and everyone even had a short time to rest. In the second half of the night, all the crew members entered the intense filming stage.
The appearance of the fierce robber Gao Hu has united the people in the convenience store like never before. Xu Zheng and Zhao Wei abandoned their previous suspicions, and Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang worked together. The introverted and cowardly Huang Xiaoming expressed his heart to Li Bing. Everything is going in a good direction. Liu Hao, who played the role of a police officer, went and returned because of the mobile phone left in the refrigerator. The robber met his nemesis!
At a critical juncture, Gao Hu was so ferocious that he hijacked Li Bing in his hands!
The policeman played by Liu Hao is constantly doing persuasion work. However, Gao Hu didn't trust the police at all, he held Li Bing tightly in his arms, and the pistol was held against Li Bing's head, refusing to relax at all.
Huang Xiaoming, who is introverted and cowardly, saw that his beloved girl was kidnapped, and finally mustered up the courage to rescue her!
He came up with a way to use the not-so-reliable TV above the cash register to smash the robber Gao Hu, and he himself took the opportunity to rescue Li Bing! The crowd discussed it in a low voice, thinking that this plan was feasible!
Huang Xiaoming finally took the most important step! He lunged forward frantically, jumping desperately and slamming it the TV. However, to his surprise, the unreliable TV did not fall off!
Huang Xiaoming was exposed naked in front of the robbers.
The robber Gao Hu was furious and kicked him with his foot. Huang Xiaoming was ruthless and slammed into Gao Hu fiercely.
At this moment, a gunshot rang out, and boom!
Huang Xiaoming pinched the blood bag on his chest, and then slowly fell down. At this moment, Xu Zheng, Liu Hao and others rushed forward, and Gao Hu, who had no time to fire the second shot, was controlled.
"Stop!" Guan Hu yelled, and all the crew members stopped, held their breath, and looked here.
Guan Hu and Chen Yuan viewed the playback together. I put it on twice, and there was no problem at all. Gao Hu took the megaphone, stood up, and asked, "Is there a problem with the voice?" ”
"No," the crew member in charge of the sound replied dryly.
Guan Hu looked at the two photographers again. Ning Hao and the two made an OK gesture at the same time!
Guan Hu suppressed the excitement in his heart, looked at Chen Yuan, and said in a low voice: "It's better for you to announce, right?" ”
Chen Yuan smiled faintly and said loudly: "I announce that "Nightclub" is officially finished! ”
The audience burst into cheers!
Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang hugged each other, Xu Zheng and Liu Hao excitedly punched each other, and Gao Hu didn't care about the blood on Huang Xiaoming's body, and hugged each other fiercely. Zhao Wei and Li Bing also smiled and hugged each other.
Su Muying suddenly got into Chen Yuan's arms, she didn't know how to express her feelings, there was only one thought in her little head, they succeeded! Chen Yuan was holding Su Muying in his arms, and at this time, his heartbeat was much faster than usual! He was also very excited, but he didn't show it too much.
The reporters who were guarding outside heard the cheers coming from the convenience store, and where did they not understand what was happening?
Zhou Jun and Shen Hong took a deep breath at the same time, and their faces were filled with happy smiles!
