Chapter 309: New Year on the Tip of the Tongue

The filming of a documentary is different from a movie, as long as you choose several fixed filming locations for filming, you need to run all over the country to make "A Bite of the Tongue", and the six director teams change places every week and run according to the schedule. Zhang Tan flies more often, often staying in one place for only a day or two.

He had to coordinate the framing and shooting of six directorial teams, and although he didn't need to shoot in person, he was no worse than others.

The bitter pleasure is that this can be regarded as traveling around the country, visiting different landscapes in many places, and tasting the customs of the world.

However, it was relatively busy at the beginning, and when the six director teams were on the right track, and the episode directors knew how to shoot, Zhang Tan's task eased.

In the twenty-third year of the lunar month, the film crew suspended the task of filming the material of "A Bite of China".

But the team didn't disband.

Because the chief director Zhang Tan had a whim, he was ready to use the Chinese New Year to shoot a new documentary, a documentary in film format - "New Year on the Tip of the Tongue".

"Don't force everyone, I am willing to stay and shoot "A Bite of the New Year", triple the salary, if you don't want to, you can go home for the New Year on a normal holiday, and shoot "A Bite of China" normally after the holiday." Zhang Tan said to the film crew.

……

"A Bite of the New Year" is really Zhang Tan's whim.

This is a documentary film he has seen in his last life, and he took his parents to watch it on the New Year of 2016, when he was only a few months away from his rebirth. At that time, he had just ended a relationship, and the whole person was a bit literary and artistic. Zhang Tan is not an artist in his bones, but in his personality he is very eager to have an artistic temperament.

A documentary is shown in Chinese cinemas. This is rare, so Zhang Tan immediately entered the cinema.

I always feel like going to the cinema to watch a documentary. It is a relatively high behavior, because things are scarce and expensive, and it is rare for a movie theater to show a documentary a year.

When "Ocean" was released, he went to the cinema, and when "Wild Africa" was released, he also went to the cinema.

When a friend asked him what movie he was watching, he said he watched a documentary, and he was immediately surprised. That kind of surprise made Zhang Tan have the illusion of standing out from the crowd. Look, the buddy realm is beyond the average person.

Now that "A New Year on the Bite of the Tongue" is released, there is no way to enter.

Well, he's such a sore person.

After watching this documentary, I feel that this film is really good, which makes people go back and have a great appetite, and it is a well-made documentary in film format.

Circumstances change with the passage of time.

Gone.

When he decided to shoot "A Bite of China", Zhang Tan did not plan to make "New Year" because he had seen the news. This documentary invested more than 10 million yuan, and the box office was only less than 2 million, so it rushed to grandma's house. So Zhang Tan had no plans to shoot "New Year" at that time.

However, now that the New Year is getting closer and closer, the smell of the New Year is getting stronger and stronger. Zhang Tan was suddenly moved.

When he was very young, Zhang Tan was so eager for the New Year, every time it was the New Year. You can wear new clothes, set off fireworks, eat small sugar melon seeds and peanuts non-stop, as well as chicken, fish, meat and eggs. This is a rare thing to see.

At that time, I thought it was good to celebrate the New Year.

The Lantern Festival is not over yet. I'm looking forward to the next Chinese New Year.

As the years get older, I don't know if the pace of society is accelerating, and everyone is not in the mood to have a relaxed year. The quality of life is still improving, there is no shortage of food and drink, and the expectations for the New Year are weak. In short, the taste of the New Year is fading year by year, Zhang Tan thought, maybe one day, the New Year will be almost the same as the National Day.

Seven days of fun, the right to take a small long vacation, take a break, instead of the New Year.

In such a grand festival, there should always be some inheritance, and it will be passed on, Zhang Tan can't do it by other means, and he still has the ability to shoot images.

The only thing that is tangled is that the box office of "New Year" can scare people to death.

Zhang Tan had scruples in his heart, and before going to bed at night, he hugged Susa and confided: "I want to make another documentary, "New Year on the Tip of the Tongue", which is similar to the documentary made now, but it talks about New Year's food and records the traditional culture of the New Year." I'm going to make it into movie specs, what do you think? ”

After the school holiday, Susa did not return to her hometown, but worked in Luying, as the assistant to the general manager of Luying Company, and followed Li Yan to learn management.

Wen Yan was a little puzzled: "If you want to shoot, then go and shoot." ”

"It's a bit of a problem that hasn't been solved." Zhang Tan shook his head, ""A Bite of China" is a standard documentary, funded by CCTV and broadcast by CCTV, just take care of word of mouth." But "New Year" was made into a movie and entered the theater, and it is likely that the pants lost are gone, and no one in China played like this before. ”

Susa said suspiciously: "Isn't it okay to make "New Year" into a standard documentary?" ”

"Yes, but the documentary has not been done in China since it entered the cinema, so I want to start and try it. It can also be regarded as exploring a path for China's documentary industry. ”

"Then do it."

"Did the box office hit the streets?"

Susa stared at Zhang Tan's eyes: "Do you still care about the box office?" Don't you advertise every day that you don't love money, but love life and art? ”

That's pretending to be forced.

Zhang Tan scratched the corners of his eyebrows with his little thumb: "The box office hit the street, didn't you smash my signboard." ”

"I can see that you have a burden, people say that you have meat to eat with Tan Zhang, and you suffer from ideological baggage. In fact, it doesn't need to be like this, I know that you don't care so much about making money or not, and you also have the ability not to care about making money, so what's there to hesitate about. ”

The authorities are obsessed with bystanders, and Zhang Tan's ears and temples have been grinding for several years, Susa understands Zhang Tan's heart: "In my mind, you have always been a person who dares to think and do, since you don't want to become a commercial layman, why don't you be brave enough to pursue the art you like?" ”

What Su Sha said was not a new truth, but it still solved Zhang Tan's confusion.

I don't know when he gradually got carried away by the huge business achievements, and was touted by countless accolades, as if he became synonymous with success.

However, from the beginning of his rebirth, he asked himself what he was pursuing, not how much he earned, but a chic life, a life of some force, some literature and art, and some meaning.

Why don't you shoot a documentary film because you're worried about it hitting the box office?

"A Bite of the New Year" has a good reputation and countless praises, but it is just not suitable for business. But why should any pursuit be in line with business, word-of-mouth and business, first of all, should meet word-of-mouth, followed by business, which is in line with their own pursuit of forced qualifications.

"I see, shoot!"

Zhang Tan is not hypocritical, and will do it immediately after figuring it out.

The investment of "New Year" in the previous life was more than 10 million, but now, the currency is not so inflated, Zhang Tan estimates that using high-definition photography, about seven or eight million, can be filmed. These seven or eight million are not money at all, and there is no need to cooperate with CCTV, you can shoot if you want.

What a!

……

"Triple salary? I definitely want to stay, I just paid a down payment in the third ring, and the monthly mortgage is more than 6,000, which costs people's lives, and I can't help but earn this extra money. Chen Li listened to Zhang Tan's idea and was the first to agree.

Then, without accident, the team members who fought the world with Zhang Tan did not hesitate and promised not to go home for the New Year. The employees of CCTV don't mind making extra money, but there are two directors who need to be seconded to the Spring Festival Gala during the National Day, and they can't agree.

At this point, on the day of the new year, the film crew changed the name and started the filming of "New Year on the Tip of the Tongue" again. (To be continued.) )
