Chapter Twenty-Six: The Fruits of So Long Effort
Until the reversal of the movie at the end, there are always two protagonists in the picture shown to the audience. And the plot is to make the audience mistakenly think that the male protagonist played by Li Fake, and they can't see the female ghost played by Huang Tingting.
But the real story is the other way around. Huang Tingting's character is the real person, and she can't see Li Faka in her eyes, but the things in the house are moving and the sound is chaotic, and it is obviously haunted.
Huang Tingting should behave like being scared from time to time. She was already able to perform well when she was rehearsing, and she was no longer afraid of being watched, so it stands to reason that there shouldn't be any problems. But after the official start, somehow, as long as she and Li Faka looked at each other, she would blush shyly.
"I'll try again." Huang Tingting said. Still a little twisted.
In addition to this small twist and turn, the next step is a flat river. A lot of the shots even go once. The low standard of Xu Fu is one thing, but the quality is also really good.
In the evening, everyone took the equipment to the corridor, and then finished filming the plot at the beginning of the micro-movie, and today's work was over. Three-fifths of the shots were taken on the first day, and they were all difficult shots, which was unimaginable.
Xu Fu looked at the progress, only to realize that it was so smooth. He was overjoyed and said, "I'm glad you all today." I'm going to invite you to dinner! ”
"Good!" Hirohiro responded immediately.
It is impossible for Xu Fu to go to the big hotel for a banquet. In order to save money, he didn't look for a restaurant near Li Fake's house, but pulled a group of people to the Northeast restaurant at the entrance of the school. The portions are large and affordable.
Before he went in and sat down, Guanghong directly opened the beer and drank half a bottle, and said to Xu Fu: "I think you can do it." The director has ideas, the actors are willing to invest, and there is nothing nonsense. I've been in the industry for so long, and I've never worked with someone as reliable as you. ”
Xu Fu wanted to inquire and asked, "How are other teams?" Are we special? ”
"Don't mention it." Guanghong drank the remaining half bottle of beer, and said: "I shoot a corporate promotional video, and I should go to the gas bag." But making a micro-film for the student team is also not worrying. The director told me something, and the screenwriter pulled me for a long time. A few actors are also strange, they are all in their stomachs, and they are not a big production, so I have to give them more close-ups...... The close-up is given casually! ”
Guanghong vented his grievances with the strength of wine, and everyone was really drunk if he was not drunk. He patted Xu Fu on the shoulder fiercely: "I did this job happily today, and the only drawback is that I can't make money." Otherwise, I would have liked to do this kind of work every day! ”
Xu Fu was a little embarrassed and said, "When I prove myself and can get sponsorship, I will definitely not be so picky." ”
"I think you can do it. Not this time, but definitely next time. Hirohiro drank another half bottle of beer, "When you become famous, don't forget me." I'm now on my knees earning money, toiling and being unhappy. Sometimes I can't get the final payment, it's really ......"
Xu Fu knew that Guanghong's status in the industry was actually very low. If you have a job, you will take it, and you don't dare to quote a high price, and you must have a stomach full of grievances.
Guanghong got drunk after two bottles of beer, ran to sit down next to Xu Fu, put his arm around Xu Fu's shoulders and said, "In the future, you will call me Brother Guang!" What do you want to do next time, you and your brother Guang! I'll still shoot it for you at the current price! I don't think people will be bad! ”
Xu Fu couldn't cope with the drunk, and he was very embarrassed.
No matter what Xu Fu said, Guanghong couldn't listen to it, and said his own things vigorously: "Xiao Xu, your brother Guang was out of society a few years earlier than you, and it has become a bit unrighteous to treat people and things, don't be surprised...... This society is like a tree, and the tree is full of monkeys. You're looking up from the bottom, and you're full of red monkey butts with all over your eyes! When you climb to the top, and when you look down, all you see is smiling faces! ”
Xu Fu gave up talking, and Guanghong couldn't hear it anyway, so he had to nod.
But Hirohiro said more and more excessively: "I have to look at people's butts every day now, and sometimes whoever wants to fart at me, I have to grit my teeth and carry it." And then the last time you came to my place and looked at my ass......"
Xu Fu sat upright, being "hugged" by Guanghong, who was full of scum, and then exchanged buttocks, the scene was really bizarre. Qu Jingmo's three girls invariably showed a very bad smile, and took out their mobile phones to take pictures of Xu Fu.
Li Faka was still afraid that the world would not be chaotic and shouted: "No! Xu Fu, I missed your shy expression! You redo it! ”
Xu Fu couldn't stand it and shouted: "What a shyness! Boss, bring a bottle of sour plum soup! Bring other hangover drinks! ”
"Hahahaha!" All three girls laughed.
After pouring the sour plum soup with yogurt, Guanghong sobered up a lot and stopped talking nonsense. began to talk to Xu Fu about a lot of micro-film participation experiences.
Xu Fu suddenly remembered that after Guanghong heard "Blue Whale University" before, he was immediately angry and asked Xu Fu to pay a deposit. He asked, "Brother Guang, have you ever cooperated with other teams at Landa?" ”
"In the first half of the year, a student from your school came to me to edit the school promotional video, I didn't have any work at that time, and I knew a little bit myself, so I helped him get it. After getting it done, I didn't give a cent of the money I said, and the person was gone! Guanghong said angrily.
This style of acting is too similar to Zhang Dongmu. Xu Fu tried to describe the appearance of Zhang Dongmu: "Does that person look like this?" ”
"Yes!" Hirohiro said.
"I see." Xu Fu thought for a while and said, "I have a personal grudge with him. Will you stand up and prove it when I need it? ”
"A matter of one word." Hirohiro agreed.
Xu Fu decided in his heart that as long as he became the president of the film club, the first thing he would do was to check the accounts! We can't let that kind of person go on with it!
A meal was eaten until eight o'clock. After separating from them, Xu Fu sent Qu Jingmo's three girls back to the dormitory.
He and Qu Jingmo walked side by side in front. Then I saw a man wearing a shirt that read "FFF Regiment is here!" Burn the world's lovers". Because the words on it were too eye-catching, Xu Fu saw it at once.
The man took the initiative to speak: "I'm sorry, this is a popular Internet meme, I bought the clothes to play, and I won't wear them in the future." ”
Waiting for the man to walk by, Xu Fu and Qu Jingmo looked at each other and smiled. Xu Fu said excitedly: "Does he treat us as a couple?" ”
"When we walk together, everyone gets it wrong. When my cousin and I walked together, there was also a little girl who came up to sell roses! Qu Jingmo said. Girls will have a hard mouth when they are shy.
In fact, Xu Fu was happy to be "misunderstood", and he was happy that Qu Jingmo did not clarify and refute.
Sent downstairs to the girls' dormitory, Xu Fu said goodbye: "See you tomorrow morning." There's still a little bit to go, so come on, everyone! ”
"Come on!" All three girls were confident.
……
"Ghost House" was filmed very smoothly. Next, Xu Fu personally edited, cut the more than five hours of footage into 20 minutes, and then slimmed it down into 15 minutes, 14 minutes, and 13 minutes......
Xu Fu also does not rationalize priorities, using audio-visual language to express deep meanings and so on. Those techniques, in his eyes now, are almost the same as fantasy novels. He used the dumbest editing method - a shot with a line, then cut the length of the line. If there are no lines, cut them as short as possible. If three seconds can be understood, it will not be extended to four seconds.
It's impossible to make a work of art if it's so tough. The visual experience can only be considered barely. Add inappropriate sound effects and sound effects that must be accompanied by subtitles to be heard. Xu Fu looked at the finished product and could only sigh, what else could he expect? After all, he only spent 5,000 yuan!
He went to show it to Qu Jingmo and the others again.
"My own child" always feels closer. Even the shortcomings are cute. The four of them are like this now, gathering together and watching the fruits of their efforts with satisfaction.
Because it's too ripe. They couldn't laugh when they looked at the laughter, and they weren't surprised when they reversed. Some only have a sense of familiarity, and looking at the camera, you can think of how the shot was made. How to write words, how to draw a mirror diagram, how to rehearse......
The original film is only thirteen minutes long. At the end of thirteen minutes, no one moved. The player automatically restarts playback.
"I didn't expect that we actually filmed it!" Li Faka and Huang Tingting glanced at each other. For them, it was an unexpected and wonderful experience to make a supernatural movie before graduation.
The player restarted again, and then when the opening of the cast appeared "Zheno Team Production", Li Faker pressed and paused, pointed to the words "Zheno Team" and asked: "Xu Fu, do you want to make a sequel next?" ”
If you don't continue filming, this team will be short-lived.
In fact, think about it, she doesn't get paid for making micro-movies, and she can't add glory to her resume. But even though she was not paid, she felt that she had gained a lot.
Qu Jingmo, Li Faka, and Huang Tingting are all like this. They all looked at the words "Zhefu team", and then stared at Xu Fu.
Qu Jingmo opened his mouth and asked: "Xu Fu, you said before that you would treat this as a career. Is it true? ”
"It's true!" Xu Fu said firmly: "As long as the first episode is out, we will make a sequel!" As long as you don't quit, the 'Zhefu Team' will not be disbanded! ”
"When will it be uploaded?" Qu Jingmo asked again.
"If you don't have a problem with the film, then upload it now." Xu Fu said.
"I'm okay with that!" Qu Jingmo said immediately.
Li Faka and Huang Tingting also shook their heads.
Then upload it! Xu Fu's heart pounded. It was the first time he had been so apprehensive. It's a lot more nervous than when I uploaded a storyboard before. This short video, which is only more than 100MB in size, represents Xu Fu's first step in that unknown direction.
He planned to upload it to Youku first, registered an account called "Zhefu Team", and uploaded it with that account. Watching the progress slowly increase, Xu Fu secretly hoped in his heart that the old saying "hard work pays off" could really happen to him, and the hard work that the four people poured into this video could be transformed into the recognition and support of others.
When the upload was completed, Xu Fu boarded Huang Tingting's micro. Bo account, sent a new micro. Bo: "The supernatural comic "Ghost House" has been successfully filmed! Please poke the link! ”
