Chapter 24: A Proud Smile
Xu Fu immediately said: "We should have contacted just now, I am going to shoot a micro-film, and I need professional photography and lighting." β
"Oh, it's you. Come and talk. You sit down first. The young man led the two into the bedroom.
The iced green tea that the stubble young man brought in just now is still on the coffee table, and the bottle cap has not been opened. The bearded young man took it and walked away, probably putting the drink back in the refrigerator.
"!" The roommate scolded in a low voice, feeling ashamed.
"I'll buy you a bottle later." Xu Fu said.
"It's not a matter of a bottle of water! This is clearly looking down on people! The roommate gritted his teeth.
Xu Fu also had a spectrum in his heart, but he was not angry, and he was not at ease. When the scumbag young man came back, he handed over the script and said, "This is the micro-film I am going to make." What do you call it? β
"My name is Hirohiro, just call me by my name." The scumbag young man took the script, didn't turn it over, and threw it on the coffee table.
There was a trail of water left by the thawing of the ice drink on the coffee table, and the script was just covered. Xu Fu was distressed, and pretended to be casual and reached out to get the script back.
Only Xu Fu, who wrote the script himself, will treat the work as a treasure. Others don't pay attention to it.
Xu Fu got down to business directly: "We're probably only shooting for a few days. What are your prices? β
Guanghong asked about the shooting time, and then quoted: "It depends on who you invite." I was asked to shoot, with the lighting and set manpower, three thousand dollars a day. My apprentice leads the team, then two thousand and a half a day. β
Xu Fu listened to the quotation and sighed in his heart, he didn't expect it to be so expensive. He bargained with the idea of trying it out, "Can it be cheaper?" β
"To be cheap, you can go and ask the wedding person. They are about five hundred a day. You go to 58.com and search a lot. Hirohiro's tone was non-negotiable, "I won't bargain." Let one or two hundred be boring, let a thousand I don't do it. By the way, which school do you go to? β
"Blue Whale University!" Xu Fu was slightly happy in his heart. Here is the introduction of the senior sister, Xu Fu expects Guanghong to look at the relationship and press the price.
Unexpectedly, Guanghong immediately said: "It's blue again." I don't have a good impression of your school. If you want to find me, you have to give a deposit, and you have to settle the money first. Give you a day's money and I'll shoot you for a day. β
Xu Fu was stunned, Guanghong actually had a grudge against the people in the school. It seems that the price is even more unlikely to kill.
He hesitated for a while, and with the idea of giving it a try, he told the ghost story he was going to shoot, and continued: "Our team really wants to make this work. But now everything is just beginning, and there are practical difficulties. See if you can ......."
"What you think, that's your business, it's none of my business." Guanghong didn't want to listen to it: "Otherwise, you better find a makeshift for the wedding." β
Hearing this, Xu Fu didn't die in vain, and decided to find someone else: "That's disturbed." β
The roommate who followed Xu Fu also stood up when he heard this, opened the door and left with a gloomy face.
Before the two of them went out, their roommate said to Xu Fu: "I didn't expect you to become like this!" It's just a photographer, what a great character, as for you to keep your voice so low? β
"What does it matter?" Xu Fuhun didn't care. What he wants is actual success, and nothing else matters.
Xu Fu didn't talk much, bought a bottle of iced green tea for his roommate at the supermarket downstairs, and asked, "Are you going to run with me next?" β
"It's boring." The roommate can't see it, and in his heart he thinks it's not worth it. It's better to play a game.
Xu Fu was overjoyed. This is the best, and everyone takes the initiative to part ways. No one delays anyone's business.
On the way back, Xu Fu was wondering in his heart, how to find like-minded people to join? After all, he only has four people now, and it will definitely not be enough in the future, and it will not be easy to pull people. Like roommates, they are familiar with each other, but they will not willingly join the team and contribute together.
If Xu Fu can pay people, then it is easy to say anything. But he doesn't have any money himself, let alone a salary.
What to do? Xu Fu somehow thought of the film club. The film club is a towering signboard that attracts students with the same dreams to come together...... For the first time, Xu Fu faced the position of "president of the film club" as a student cadre in his heart.
Put those ones aside first. Xu Fu then contacted other photography teams, but the results were not very optimistic.
Guanghong's price is 3,000 a day, and the apprentice photography team is 2,005 a day, which is already a relatively low price. None of them are available at the same price.
Looking for it from the Internet, don't worry about it, the opening is four or five thousand, and Xu Fu can't afford it at all.
As for "filming weddings", Xu Fu didn't even want to think about it. It's not like he hasn't seen the wedding video. With that kind of quality, it's really better to rent equipment and shoot it yourself, so you can save money.
After a round trip, I finally went back to find Hirohiro.
Xu Fu didn't leave immediately, first went online to find the news of "Streamer Shunying Studio" to see what Guanghong's level was. It is best to find the work taken by Hirohiro and confirm the quality.
The work was not found. Xu Fu was surprised to find that there were photographers who claimed to be "Guanghong" on the Internet who advertised a lot, most of them claimed to want to learn from experience, unconditionally took on micro-films of various themes, science fiction, martial arts and other themes can be shot for free, and so on.
Those ads appeared around 2012. Many pages are in disrepair and can only be viewed with Baidu snapshots.
Seeing Guanghong's past from the Internet, Xu Fu was stunned, that person actually had a love for movies before?
Xu Fu had a faint hope and decided to go to see Guanghong again.
Before leaving, in addition to bringing the script again, he also took a large number of original storyboard scripts. I hope to use these things to impress Guanghong and reduce prices. But no matter whether he can descend or not, Xu Fu has no other choice, he can only find Guanghong.
I took the car to the place again, and it was already evening. Xu Fu knocked on the door and entered. The employee who opened the door was surprised: "Aren't you leaving?" β
"I'll try again. What about your boss? Xu Fu said.
"The Boss is reading the script inside. There is a student from his former school, who also wants to make a micro-movie, with the same mind as you. All want to spend less. I don't want to think about it, you saved the cost and made us hungry? The employee complained.
Xu Fu did come with the intention of bargaining. I was a little embarrassed to hear this.
In the bedroom that was transformed into a conference room, Guanghong's voice sounded: "For the sake of you being a junior, I have finished reading your script." Very thoughtful. Come on. β
The other person smiled and said, "Boss Guang, you are a legend of our school!" If you say yes, then it's really good! I wonder if you can help me? I'll give you all the shots! And give you another 200% trust! β
"Two thousand eight days." Guanghong Road. The price of the opening was two hundred yuan lower than that of the one given to Xu Fu.
"Senior Brother Guang, you want to make money as a boss, but you don't need to be so business-minded, right? For the sake of the alumni's face, okay? β
Guanghong asked, "How much do you think is appropriate?" β
"I want to...... Let's not talk about money, let's make this micro-movie well! If you win the award, we will share the honor, and your studio will become famous, won't you be able to make more money? β
"Poof!" Xu Fu suddenly laughed, how could such a naΓ―ve person actually want to hire a photographer for nothing without spending money.
You must know that Guanghong opened a studio, but he had to pay his subordinates' salaries. Guanghong can't get the money, it's equivalent to sticking money to shoot things, who has a lack of brains to do this!
The employees in the living room listened to it, laughed, and exchanged ears: "Another one, now these students are becoming more and more unreliable, and they really dare to say anything." Blind delay in effort. β
But the one who wanted to empty the gloves of the white wolf became impassioned: "We are creating tomorrow!" Senior Brother Guang, are you really not willing to pay for the realization of your dreams? I assure you, the two of us will work together to make a micro-film that will be amazing! β
Guanghong was impatient, half sending, half lame pushed people out of the door: "You better go first." Wait for you to calm down and write me a business cooperation letter. I'll think again. β
Closing the door, Guanghong looked at Xu Fu and said, "You're here again?" Are you here to pay a deposit or to bargain? If you bargain, you leave early. β
"I do want to reduce costs as much as possible. But don't worry, I won't ask you to lower the price this time. Let's take a look at what I'm going to shoot. Xu Fu did not hand over the script this time, but handed over a copy of the complete storyboard script first.
Illustrated and illustrated, more intuitive than dry text. Guanghong turned two pages and looked at Xu Fu with some surprise. Unexpectedly, Xu Fu actually did this.
In foreign countries, storyboards are produced by directors, photographers, and investors. In China, this is not taken very seriously. Hirohiro has even taken projects that didn't use storyboards at all. Suddenly seeing someone do the storyboard so seriously, Guanghong was naturally surprised.
Xu Fu didn't shout "create tomorrow", he only took out the storyboard script, which proved that he was much more reliable than the person who was kicked out of the door just now.
"You've designed it from the ground up?" Guanghong quickly flipped through it and found that the quality was very high, and there was no nonsense. He'd never seen an amateur team do this.
"Yes. This story is the brainchild of our entire team. We will do our best to do every detail. Xu Fu said.
The storyboard script is concise and clear, and the story itself is not complicated, so Hirohiro quickly figured it out. He was suddenly a little moved, and wanted to lower the price for Xu Fu. By how much?
Xu Fu took out his mobile phone at this time, clicked on a video, and handed it to Guanghong to watch.
Guanghong took it and saw that there were two girls inside who seemed to have fallen into an evil spirit, muttering to themselves and acting strangely. Confused, he asked, "What is this?" β
Xu Fu showed a proud smile and said, "They are actors and actresses in micro-films. Rehearsing for the show. β
"Oh." Guanghong nodded, and said in his heart that this team is not simple.
In general, the student actors of the campus micro-film team can only rely on the foundation of the acting class in elementary and middle school to play roles, and they are very amateur. Everyone knows how to improve, just work hard and practice. But no one actually did it. The actors can get by, and the director has no appeal, so he can only fight with the mud.
And this young team's team can actually allow the actors to spend time rehearsing. It shows that they are all united because of one work. Only such a team can make achievements.
It's just that the acting is too bad......
Xu Fu seemed to know Guanghong's thoughts, and reminded: "You can almost jump to the next video after watching it." β
