Chapter Thirty-Six: Ten Days of Shooting
Cheng Peng saw that the landlord was silent, and sneered: "It's not over yet, I'll calculate the labor cost for you again, this is the photographer Chen Shaoping, who has made a movie with Feng Xiaogang, this is the lighting master king, this is the lighting king I invited from Yueben, Mr. Guan Gu, this is Mr. Guan Gu's junior brother Mr. Gugu, do you know how much it costs to invite the two of them?" The salary is 20,000 a day! We've been filming for ten days, and the cost of both of them alone is 200,000! ”
When the crew heard that Cheng Peng had changed their names to Wang Qinian and Zhou Yang, they all wanted to laugh, but now no one dared to laugh in this situation.
Cheng Peng originally wanted to continue to exert pressure on the landlord, but seeing that Wang Qinian had another idea, he squeezed his eyes at Wang Qinian, "Mr. Guan Gu, you say two words!" ”
Wang Qinian didn't react, but Zhou Yang, who was beside him, understood what Cheng Peng meant, pointed to the boss and spit out a string of words anyway, what kind of goga, dead, dead, and the like.
The landlord broke out in a cold sweat: "He, what did he say?" ”
Cheng Peng said lightly: "Mr. Guan Gu said that you either compensate or leave here, otherwise you will have to go to the political axe department to sue you!" Boss Ye, now that the construction of the Olympic Games is in full swing, it is the time when the country pays the most attention to its international image, and if there is an international dispute at this time, you are smearing the image of the country and destroying the construction of the Olympic Games, and the consequences are very serious! ”
This is said with a special taste of the fat translation in "Little Soldier Zhang Ga", Cheng Peng himself has a chill, Lao Tzu is a positive character, how can he say the tone of the negative character?
However, there is no trivial matter in foreign affairs, not to mention an ordinary person, that is, officials have to bow their heads when they meet foreigners, and first-class foreigners and second-class officials are not just talking. A certain devil lost a bicycle, and the police in the whole city went out to find a car for him, but it is not fake, who cares about you if you lose the bicycle of ordinary people?
The landlord was really frightened at this time, pulled Qiu Zhijie's sleeve, and said with a bitter face: "Mr. Qiu, this is a contradiction between you, you can talk to him well, I don't want the money!" ”
Qiu Zhijie's face was uncertain, he was just an errand, if he really wanted to poke out the big basket, he could only be unlucky, he didn't dare to make up his mind for this kind of thing, so he decided to go back and ask him, snorted coldly, and said, "Cheng Peng, this matter is not over." Then he waved his hand: "Let's go!" ”
"Go slowly, I won't send it!" Cheng Peng waved his hand at Qiu Zhijie and them, but after Qiu Zhijie and them walked out of the courtyard, his face sank.
This matter is definitely not over, if Qiu Zhijie and they come to make trouble every day, how will this scene be filmed? It's useless to call the police, the landlord insists that Qiu Zhijie rented this house first, will the police still help Cheng Peng?
Cheng Peng exhaled, and when he turned around, he saw that the documentary photographer Zhang Chenggong was still filming with the camera, so he asked: "How about it, everything that happened just now was filmed, right?" ”
Zhang Chenggong nodded and said, "Of course, it's all filmed!" ”
"That's good!" Cheng Peng nodded, the content of the documentary has become interesting, and it is estimated that it can be sold at a good price, but he feels that the content he filmed just now may be able to play an unexpected role at some point.
Documentary sets are not a new thing when making movies, and many of them are widely circulated, such as Werner Herzog's "Boat on Land" documentary "Movie Dreams", and Ridley Scott's "Blade Runner" documentary "Dangerous Days". These documentaries became a part of the classics like the films that gave birth to it.
Domestic film sets of documentaries started from Zhang Yimou's "Hero" documentary "Origin", and then almost all of the influential domestic films have behind-the-scenes documentaries, "Assembly" has "Sacrifice", "Favorite" has "Together", "Ambush on All Sides" has "Like Flowers" and so on.
Most of the documentary films are made for publicity reasons, and they are launched before the release or during the hot screening period to attract more people to the theater, which is another form of propaganda film, and is a part of the publicity and distribution process of later films. However, high-level documentaries can also sell for a good price, which is a way to recoup investment, such as Zhang Yimou's "Origin" and Jia Zhangke's "East" have sold well overseas.
Based on these two considerations, Cheng Peng specially found someone to record the whole process of "The Two of Us" from preparation to filming, but he didn't expect to shoot something interesting.
After Cheng Peng returned to the monitor, he picked up the bottle of mineral water, poured it violently, picked up the walkie-talkie and said: "Now suspend the shooting, Mengzi, Linlin, Qinian, Shaoping, a few of you come here, let's have a meeting!" ”
Qiu Zhijie is only leaving temporarily, and he will definitely make a comeback, and he must find a way to solve this problem.
Cheng Peng didn't think about changing the venue, he could keep the indoor scenes he had filmed and reshoot the outdoor scenes, but he quickly denied this idea, wasting money is a trivial matter, the key is that it takes time to find a house again, and it is already mid-October, and the leaves have begun to yellow, even if you find a house, you can't shoot the spring and summer scenes.
After Zhang Meng and the others came over, Cheng Peng told all the situation, then looked at everyone and said: "Everyone knows about the matter, I can't think of any way for a while, I don't know if you have any way, let's talk about it!" ”
There was nothing anyone else could do, only Zhang Meng raised his head and said, "Why don't I call Uncle Benshan and see if he can help." ”
"Uncle Benshan, do you know Zhao Benshan?"
"My father is his screenwriter, and I am also half of Benshan Media, so I will give him a call. But I can't guarantee it, after all, this is the capital, and his words are not as good as the Northeast! ”
Cheng Peng knew Zhao Benshan's influence very well, this might be a solution, so he said: "Mengzi, then trouble you!" ”
"Okay, be polite to me, I'm the assistant director of the crew, and I should contribute!"
When Zhang Meng called, Jin Yaqin walked out of the room, she heard everything that happened outside, and said to Cheng Peng: "Director, don't worry, I also know a little bit of people old woman, I will also call, you continue to shoot, don't lose to those villains!" ”
Cheng Peng nodded with a smile and said, "Thank you, Teacher Jin." Don't worry, I will definitely not admit defeat, even if the south wall is in front of me, I have to break it, this movie will definitely be made! Then he picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "Okay, get ready, let's start shooting in ten minutes!" ”
……
At six o'clock in the afternoon, Qiu Zhijie came again, staring at Cheng Peng and sneering: "Okay, Cheng Peng!" It's long-lasting, and there are quite a few people who know people. Sister Lan said, give you ten days, you must leave after ten days, and no one will say anything at that time! ”
Cheng Peng's gaze was very indifferent, and his tone was also very calm: "Cheng has written it down today, and when it comes, it will be redoubled!" ”
"Just you? Let's go in the next life! Qiu Zhijie sneered and floated away.
Ten days of filming time, this is still Zhang Meng and their hard work to get, according to the original shooting plan, it will definitely not work, Cheng Peng once again brought the main creators of the crew together to discuss the issue of shooting.
Zhao Linlin is the executive producer, and she handles the daily shooting plan, shaking her head and saying: "It is impossible to shoot a one-month scene within ten days." ”
Artist Yu Duoduo said: "The winter drama is the focus, there are many scenes that need to be arranged, the branches and leaves of the trees need to be treated, the artificial snow scene needs to be arranged, and the Spring Festival drama needs to arrange lanterns, window flowers, etc., which cannot be completed in ten days!" ”
Wang Qinian said coldly: "He said it was ten days, but will he really give us ten days?" This kind of person will definitely not keep his word, and he will definitely keep making trouble during this period! ”
But it's only ten days, it's too difficult, what should I do? The crowd fell silent.
Cheng Peng pondered for a while, then raised his head and said: "I have a way, let's pick out all the scenes in the yard, shoot the outdoor scenes here, and shoot the indoor scenes in the studio, what do you think?" ”
Zhao Linlin shook her head and said: "This requires renting a studio, we need to invite someone to set the set, the cost of the movie will increase a lot, and our budget is not enough!" ”
Cheng Peng is not worried about the budget, "Myth" is still the first on the CRBT list, and the number of downloads has reached 5 million, and it will definitely break through 10 million in three or four months, and he will be able to get 5 million, which is enough to complete the shooting, and said with a smile: "This is also a way to no choice, we only have this way to go, I will find a way to solve the problem of funds, don't worry too much!" ”
Zhang Meng very much agrees with this idea: "I think this is a good way, and it is the only way!" ”
Everyone else also nodded and said, "There is really only this way, otherwise you can only change the scene and reshoot everything!" ”
What are the consequences of all the retakes, Zhao Linlin also knows it, and she has to nod.
Seeing that everyone agreed, Cheng Peng said: "Mengzi, you have studied stage design, and the matter of building the scene will be left to you, you find some people to build the room in the fastest time, whether it is the color, decoration, or layout, it must be exactly the same, and it will be handed over to you!" ”
"Don't worry, I can guarantee that it will definitely do exactly the same!"
Cheng Peng smiled, opened his notebook, clicked on the storyboard, and said, "Let's pick out all the scenes in the courtyard and the courtyard first, see how many shots there are, and let's roughly calculate how much time it will take." Linlin, you remember! ”
"The second scene, the fourth shot."
"The third scene, the first shot."
……
The important surname of the storyboard is highlighted at this time, the storyboard is the movie drawn, every shot is very clear, where it happens, how the light is used, what is the background, Cheng Peng only needs to pick out the outdoor shots according to these pictures.
However, when the shots were counted, Cheng Peng found that the situation was even more severe than imagined, and there were more than 240 outdoor shots.
There are more than 240 shots, ten days, and 24 shots a day, and "The Two of Us" has very high requirements for lighting, and it takes a lot of time to set up the lighting, which is simply a task against the sky.
Cheng Peng had no choice, stared at Wang Qinian and said, "Twenty-four shots a day!" Qi Nian, now this situation with conventional lighting techniques may not work, you and Zhou Yang to discuss, adjust your lighting plan, choose the fastest way, the equipment can be replaced, as long as the lighting is to be used, what you want I will give! ”
"Okay, we'll leave the lights to us, and it's going to be fine!"
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Cheng Peng stretched out his hand and said excitedly: "These ten days are high-intensity shooting, and it will be very hard, so please leave it to everyone." If this is a war, I believe we will win! ”
Several hands clasped tightly together and said in unison: "We will definitely win!" ”
