Chapter 21: Rehearsals

It's almost the final decision. But Manager Zhou hesitated and thought about it.

Xu Fu was also nervous. Many people are talking about it and not daring to act. What if the manager is like this?

Fortunately, she finally made up her mind and said, "According to what you said." I'm proposing to sponsor you tomorrow. I'm not afraid of being rejected, embarrassed, or anything, but you must make a popular work! If you can help me, I'll help you too! The financial problem of your sequel is covered by me. ”

After three trips to get here, still hungry and waiting until now, Xu Fu won the next best result. Although he didn't get the best harvest, he was satisfied, so he said, "I wish us a happy cooperation." ”

Manager Zhou carefully put the script of "Ghost House" in her bag, took out his business card and handed it to Xu Fudao: "My phone number is on it, and you also leave yours to me." We'll get back in touch if we have something. ”

Xu Fu looked at the business card, and Manager Zhou's name was "Zhou Ke". It's pretty cute.

And so it was settled. As long as Xu Fu can use his 5,000 yuan to shoot a successful first episode, he will have the funds for a sequel.

If the first episode is not successful, Manager Zhou will make a fool of himself, and Xu Fu will naturally have no money to take it. However, Xu Fu is not a "builder" of a strange world, and probably he will not shoot the follow-up.

Everything needs Xu Fu to take his first step. Shoot an excellent work and get enough popularity.

Xu Fu had to reverse the car three times when he went back, and on the way, Xu Fu called Qu Jingmo to tell Qu Jingmo about the situation: "...... One of their managers had already rejected me. Suddenly, a girl with a very small face came and quarreled with the manager. I figured out that the girl should have some status, so I tried to break through from her...... Then the agreement was made verbally. ”

Qu Jingmo still grasped the key point wrongly, it didn't matter before and after, so he remembered the words of Xu Fu in the middle to describe Manager Zhou. After Xu Fu finished telling today's legendary experience from beginning to end, Qu Jingmo asked Xu Fu: "You said that Zhou Ke has a small face?" How small? ”

"......" Xu Fu stammered, really not knowing how to answer. Why did Qu Jingmo remember this?

Qu Jingmo listened to Xu Fu and didn't speak, so he popularized science for him: "The skeleton of people's faces is so big, it can't be so small!" She must have put makeup on her cheeks, and human eyes sometimes have an illusion......"

Xu Fu humbly was taught, and then deceived Qu Jingmo: "Actually, I feel that Manager Zhou's face is small because her face is almost the same as yours!" You're the youngest girl I've ever seen, so I feel like her face is so small. ”

"Oh, comfort me. I've been eating a lot lately, and I've gained a little weight. Qu Jingmo said so, but he was obviously happy, and his tone rose a lot.

After hanging up the phone, Qu Jingmo immediately took out the makeup mirror, took a picture left and right, and pinched his cheeks. Then he laughed at himself.

Li Faka and Huang Tingting next to her glanced at each other and puffed out their mouths. It's so contrived! Qu Jingmo, she is so thin, where did she gain weight!

……

A few days passed. Zhou Ke called Xu Fu and said in a low mood: "I showed your script to the division manager, but he didn't promise to sponsor you." As you said, I wrote a proposal to the headquarters and sent it along with your script. I received an email from cFo today and scolded me. ”

Xu Fu inquired heartlessly: "I scolded you alone?" Didn't it make a big deal? ”

"The email was not only sent to me, but also copied to many people! CEOs, VPs, and Divisional Managers! The whole company knows about it! I didn't expect the consequences to be so severe. Zhou Ke was so remorseful. I knew it would be like this, I really shouldn't have promised it. When she came to the company in the morning, the eyes of the employees looked at her with a little meaning. Now that she has lost the initiative, she can only watch Xu Fu's performance.

She also calmed down, feeling that Xu Fu's chances of success were not as great as she imagined. Countless video works pop up on the Internet every day, but few can make a splash. Why did Xu Fu rise to prominence instead of drowning in it? Is it just about quality?

If Xu Fu had only a few thousand clicks, Zhou Ke would really not be able to turn the situation back.

Xu Fu smiled and said, "Isn't this good?" The more misunderstood you are now, the higher the bounce will be. Everyone is looking at your jokes now, and that's also a concern. You have to withstand the pressure, and when you prove that you are the one who knows the pearls, you will become a star in the company. ”

"......" Zhou Ke covered his forehead and sighed repeatedly. I feel that Xu Fu really thinks too well, so good that Zhou Ke can't believe it. To be honest, she was already thinking about how to write her resignation report. Leave decently and find your next job.

"You're going to hold on until the end of the month!" Xu Fu said seriously: "Although we don't have a friendship, we are both prosperous. I want to make a sequel, I want to make a career out of it, but I have to count on you. ”

"Okay." Zhou Ke looked at the calendar. There is still half a month to go until the end of the month. It seems that this half a month is really going to be like a year.

Xu Fu hung up the phone, and Qu Jingmo immediately said sourly: "Next time you take me to see her, I want to see how small her face is." ”

Xu Fu was speechless for a long time. He had no intention of mentioning it before. It's really hard for Qu Jingmo to remember it for so long.

Li Faka patted the table at this time: "Don't be distracted, think about it!" What's the name of our team? ”

Now that the storyboard script is complete and the preparations on paper are ready, it's time to prepare for the rehearsal. Before the operation, Li Faka proposed to give the team of four a "loud" name. It's best to be like "Wanhe Tianyi", which sounds very fashionable and unbelievable.

Li Faka proposed very happily: "How about I think it's called the 'Blue Whale Dream Group'?" ”

"Too thunder!" Huang Tingting despises.

Xu Fu said: "I'm actually not a Blue Whale person......

"What is your name?" Li Faka was rejected several proposals just now, and he was a little angry.

Xu Fu somehow lost his IQ: "It's better to call it the Little Steamed Bun Army......"

Before he finished speaking, his head was hit by Qu Jingmo with a notebook. Qu Jingmo then twisted his face and sulked. Xu Fu is too much, she actually thinks she has small breasts!

"How dare you say that?" Li Faker also took the notebook and played Xu Fu. Suddenly, she became proud again, and said proudly: "Tell you secretly, Momo's breasts don't look big, but they're actually easy to touch." You haven't touched it, I can ...... it every day."

"Senpai, I was wrong." Xu Fu couldn't listen to it, and hurriedly interrupted: "Otherwise, let's call it a 'team of four' first." Change it later when you think of a nice name. ”

"Okay." The other three girls all nodded. It's better than coming up with a strange name right now.

Then, it's time for rehearsals. Xu Fu lacked filming funds, and did not have the luxury of starting filming and repeating it repeatedly. Start as much as possible all at once. Well, it's time to practice in advance.

Xu Fu told everyone from the beginning that he only had five thousand yuan. So we all know the importance of rehearsals. But even if you know it's important, it's still problematic to rehearse.

Xu Fuxuan's rehearsal location was on the side of the school's tree-lined road, and there were not many pedestrians. But only every time a passerby walks by, Huang Tingting, who plays the heroine, and Li Fake, who plays the male lead, will pause and wait for people to walk over before continuing.

They can't speak in front of others, and they're tied up during rehearsals.

This is normal. Xu Fu understands very well. In addition to God's natural acting school, most people have to overcome their innate sense of shame when performing. Li Faka and Huang Tingting have no professional training, so they are naturally afraid of the eyes of others.

It seems that we have to find a completely uninhabited place.

Qu Jingmo also found that this was not possible, and said, "Otherwise, let's go to the new teaching building and try it, shall we?" ”

The new school building has only been built in recent years, focusing on multimedia teaching. The top layer is still empty. Xu Fu nodded, just go there and try it.

Sure enough, the top floor of the new school building was completely empty. All classrooms are locked, but the hallways already have enough space for rehearsals.

to a place where no outsiders can see. Li Faka and Huang Tingting just let go slightly. Of course, their performances are still stiff and have a contrived flavor. There are also lines, which also make people feel that they are memorized by the actors, rather than heartfelt words from the characters' mouths.

Xu Fu and Qu Jingmo were on one side, each holding a mobile phone to record the video. After a drill, the four of them got together and looked at their phones, looking for questions.

Li Faka looked at himself on the phone, flicked the non-existent door frame exaggeratedly, then took a few steps forward and read a line...... She looked red-faced, covered her face and whispered, "Shame on the dead!" Why is it so bad! ”

"Rotten" is an idealistic evaluation. To put it bluntly, it is actually unprofessional in all aspects. The actor could not convince the audience with his every move: it was true.

In real life, people speak high-spirited when they are excited, and they walk and hunt with the wind. When depressed, he speaks slowly and weakly, and walks with a steady pace. Everyone understands the truth, but how to do it is a big problem. Xu Fu didn't have a clue either.

It seems that Li Fakea and Huang Tingting can only rehearse and correct it over and over again to gradually improve. Xu Fu said: "You are similar to the characters in the play. So bring your own little style when you act. Let's do it all over again! ”

"Hmm." Li Faka and Huang Tingting both nodded. For "Ghost House", they have been preparing for half a month. The lines were repeatedly edited by Li Hairka, and the storyboard was drawn by Huang Tingting one by one. This is not only a micro-film that Xu Fu wants to make, but also their work. You can't go wrong with your performance, and your previous efforts will be wasted.

Li Faka and Huang Tingting rehearsed repeatedly. Xu Fu and Qu Jingmo watched from two perspectives and gave advice.

After a few times, it seems to have progressed a bit. Xu Fu could clearly feel that their performance was indeed much more natural.

Xu Fu looked at the time, and he had been practicing for forty-five minutes. He said, "Fortunately, let's take a rest." Wait a while before starting. ”

Obviously rested, Li Faka said to Xu Fu: "You lend me your mobile phone." You still have the first recording, right? I compared it from the beginning to see what had improved at the bottom. ”

Xu Fu gave his mobile phone to Li to issue a card.

Huang Tingting was also curious and leaned over to look.
