"Hello Su Sheng, I'm Guo Zijian."
'Young director' Guo Zijian is actually almost 40 years old this year, wearing a simple pair of jeans and a printed body shirt, which is simple and refreshing. With short hair and a pair of black-rimmed eyes, he doesn't look like a director, but he has the temperament of a street cram school boy.
After a simple greeting, the group took the equipment and got into the two official cars of the zoo and went straight to a four-star hotel near the zoo, which was where the entire film crew was stationed during the filming.
Guo Zijian didn't say much, he was relatively silent along the way, and occasionally chatted a few words, which seemed very polite, giving people a gentle feeling, as if he was the big brother next door, and he should belong to the popular type of warm man now. But there is not so much nonsense about the warm man in the TV series.
Soon arrived at the hotel, the room had been booked in advance, Nangong Huang took the room card, and sent everyone to the room with Su Ming.
There are a total of thirteen people in the film crew, three women, ten men, and fourteen directors, the scale cannot be smaller, and in the same way, the expenses can be reduced to a minimum.
There are four rooms in total, Su Ming looked at his watch, the time was only half past three in the afternoon, "Director Guo, you have worked hard all the way, rest first, until six o'clock in the evening, I will invite everyone to eat and wash the dust for everyone." ”
"Su Sheng, if you don't mind, I want to talk about movies first." Guo Zijian smiled a little embarrassedly: "Mr. Xiang didn't tell me, he just said that he had a friend who wanted to make a low-budget movie and asked me to form a class." Now I don't even know what we're going to do next. ”
Su Ming likes his style quite a bit, he doesn't drag mud and water to make false moves, whether he is a good director or not, at least he is a serious person.
"Okay, Nangong Huang, you stay and see what you need, and Director Guo and I will go to the next room to talk." Su Ming turned around and went out: "Director Guo, please." ”
Guo Zijian lived in a room alone, and after entering the door, Su Ming poured two glasses of white water, and simply told him his ideas.
In the process of speaking, Su Ming has been secretly observing the young director's expression.
Guo Zijian never interjected, listened to Su Ming quietly, and occasionally nodded slightly to indicate that he understood, and if he didn't understand, he would convey it with his eyes and very clear facial expressions.
When he heard about horror movies and 10 million investments, Guo Zijian didn't show any surprised expressions.
"That's about it."
After confirming that Su Ming finished speaking, Guo Zijian was silent for a few seconds, as if he was trying to figure out his thoughts, before he said: "Su Sheng, if I understand correctly, you need to finish the filming and release it as much as possible, the shorter the time, the better, in addition, the main actors of this movie are animals, live animals, not special effects?" ”
"Yes." Su Ming nodded.
"It's an amazing idea, and that alone is enough to catch the eye. What's more, your story is also very ......" Guo Zijian paused, as if looking for a suitable wording, "Well, it's very scary, and it makes people shudder." Are you sure, though, that the animals will work with you? ”
"I'm sure I'm a pretty good trainer myself. But the film industry, I don't understand it at all. Su Ming said.
"Oh, I remember, Zhang Tianwang's animal concert is your director, I have to say, it's great!" After Guo Zijian praised, he didn't wait for Su Ming to say a few kind words, but continued to say: "Then I think there are two things we have to do next, the first is to do our best to improve your story and turn it into a complete script; The second is to choose the actors according to the script, although the animals are the mainstay, there are still many human actors. The hero and heroine, as well as a lot of extras. ”
"Okay, how do you need me to cooperate?" Su Ming asked.
"The idea of the story is yours, and only Su Sheng knows best what the animal can do. In addition to the filming process, you will be involved in determining the script and the selection of actors. If we could, why don't we start talking about the script now? ”
Guo Zijian said as he took out a large stack of blank A4 paper and a pencil from the shoulder bag he was carrying.
"You don't mind if I smoke, do you?" Su Ming took out his cigarette and put it on the table.
Guo Zijian shrugged his shoulders and signaled him to be casual.
The two began to perfect and plump up the 'horror story' in Su Ming's heart little by little.
In the room, Su Ming smoked one cigarette after another, and soon, the ashtray was already full of cigarette butts like a grove;
Guo Zijian's hands, brain, and mouth seem to be able to work separately, and in the discussion, he constantly writes and draws on the paper, quickly sketching out the scenes, characters, and animals in his imagination, leaving those who are satisfied, and throwing them into the trash can when he is not satisfied, and the trash can will soon be full of waste paper.
Time flies, and both of them are immersed in discussions, and occasionally there will be disputes over a certain plot and character, or because they want to think and study a small plot together, the psychological activities and personality of a certain character......
"Knock knock...... Someone knocked at the door, Nangong Huang came in from outside, and was just about to speak, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was choked by the smell of smoke in the room and coughed.
"Brother-in-law, at six o'clock, it's time to get ready for dinner." Nangong Huang fanned the cigarette in front of him.
"You go first, I'll think about it...... Please take my colleagues to eat, I'll just eat instant noodles. ”
Su Ming and Guo Zijian spoke at the same time, and then they were both stunned and smiled at each other.
Su Ming then remembered that he was the boss, how could there be a reason to make employees hungry, so he extinguished the cigarette butts, stood up and invited: "Director Guo, let's eat a little, no matter how busy you are at work, you have to eat." ”
"Okay."
In the box of the hotel dining room, there was no imaginary staggering, the meal was quickly eaten, Guo Zijian was very skilled at the dinner table and arranged the next work for everyone in the crew, and half an hour later, he and Su Ming returned to the box and began to discuss the plot.
The wall clock in the room pointed to twelve o'clock, Su Ming finally snuffed out the last cigarette, and Guo Zijian stacked a thick stack of manuscript paper together and stuffed it into his bag.
"Let's do this for the first draft, and then I'll think about whether I can do better." Guo Zijian grabbed his hair and said.
"Okay, then you can rest first." Su Ming got up and was about to leave.
"Wait a minute." Guo Zijian looked at the night outside the bed and said, "Su Sheng, why don't you take me to the shooting site to take a look at the surrounding environment?" I have a good idea of the overall picture of the movie. ”
Su Ming was stunned for a moment, he met a workaholic! (To be continued.) )
