Chapter 010: The Redemption of the White Swordsman

Although Zhao Dafei has a relatively prodigal personality and is good at eating, drinking and having fun, he is still very good at doing things.

The next morning, together with Bai Yuhan, he bought a set of recording equipment, and in the afternoon, a friend introduced him to a programmer who worked behind the scenes in an advertising company.

This person's name is Cheng Tianle, and his skills are good, but the salary given by the advertising company is not very high, only 3,500 yuan a month, which is much lower than his peers, so he gave birth to the psychology of changing jobs.

"Hello, Chenggong, everyone has been introduced by friends, don't say polite words, 4,000 yuan a month, including three meals. If you feel like you can, stay and help with the post-production of the video clips in our studio. In the hall of the photo studio, Bai Yuhan saw Cheng Tianle who came to inquire.

Cheng Tianle is about thirty years old, combing his standard traitor head and wearing the bottom of a black-framed wine bottle: "This, Mr. Bai, if I don't eat in the studio, can I have a meal supplement?" ”

"You don't want the studio to provide three meals?"

"After all, I have a family and a room, and my wife and children eat together every day." Cheng Tianle said a little embarrassed.

"Well, it's okay, can I give you 300 yuan a month for food supplements?"

"Yes, thank you, Mr. Bai, I'll do it here. But not today, I have to go to my old company and resign. ”

After solving the manual problem of post-production, Bai Yuhan immediately pulled Zhao Dafei and began to tinker with the recording equipment (1) (this ~ reading (novel) ybdu. The sound recorded in the short film is not very good, and some places require the two leading actors to re-dub the voice. The short film is only more than 6 minutes long, with no more than 50 lines, and the dubbing is very simple.

So, after a busy day, the dubbing work is over.

Let Zhao Dafei move freely, and the next day Bai Yuhan began to study the post-production of the short film with Cheng Tianle.

In fact, there is not much work, just make the three parts of the beginning, subtitles and ending, and after explaining what needs to be done, Cheng Tianle will take over smoothly.

And Bai Yuhan also took the time to start thinking about the second episode of "Happy Little 2B".

After combing through the highlights of the original short film, I quickly decided on the content of the second episode and started typing the script on the computer.

"Well, the tentative title of the film is "The Redemption of the White Swordsman", ......"

It's about grabbing. The story of robbing a bank, Bai Yuhan originally thought of a simple title of "Robbing a Bank", but he felt that it was not good enough, so he took a very connotative title, "The Redemption of the White Swordsman". That's right, the name is a plagiarism of the classic movie "The Shawshank Redemption".

The story says that there was a poor protein swordsman who wanted to make a fortune quickly, and finally through the guidance of the Taoist priest, he came up with the robbery. Robbing a bank is the quickest method, so he successfully fooled an accomplice, Niu Yinan. The two drew a very detailed bank layout, and when they were about to do it, they accidentally lost the drawings.

But it doesn't matter, the White Swordsman still has Plan B, which is to dig tunnels!

Because he watched a movie "The Shawshank Redemption", in which the male protagonist dug a tunnel by relying on Xiao Zhenzi, and finally escaped from prison successfully. So they bought two small spoons and started Project Tunnel B. But the plan could not keep up with the changes, and after n years, they managed to dig through the tunnel.

As a result, unfortunately, Luzhou developed greatly, and the bank of that year was demolished.

Just when the two of them wanted to cry without tears, they saw the news, and the news said that two people had obtained the ancient treasure map, broke through the bank's defense in one fell swoop, grabbed a lot of money, and were fleeing. Coincidentally, the direction of escape was the direction in which the White Swordsman and Niu Yinan dug the tunnel.

At this moment, because the plan failed to make the two people, they were angry, so they assisted the police. Cha will rob. The robbers were caught while the police. When Cha asked them to assist in searching for evidence, the White Swordsman suddenly discovered that this treasure map was drawn by him himself.

"Finally, come to a happy-ending, the white swordsman and Niu Yinan, see the robbery. The tragic end of the robbers, and seeing that they were because of their assistance in the arrest and robbery. The robbers were meritorious and loved by the people. Compared with the two, he repented and decided to be a new man. ”

After knocking out the outline of the script, Bai Yuhan carefully combed it several times and felt very satisfied.

Although there are irrational things in it, such as the banks have been demolished, the treasure map can still work. But it is an unreasonable sitcom in itself, as long as the story is coherent on the surface, with dramatic conflicts and comedic laughs, this is enough.

"Okay, the script is out, let's start preparing!"

……

The next day, Bai Yuhan took advantage of the morning to have a studio meeting.

"The new script "Happy Little 2B: The Redemption of the White Swordsman" has been written, and everyone will pass it on and read it. In this new series, there are still two protagonists, I play the white swordsman, and Zhao Dafei plays Niu Yinan. In addition, a fortune teller with a heavy role is also needed, and several police officers. Cha, as well as the snatching of stockings pullovers. Robbers, the rest is a few tricks, which of you want to play? ”

Liu Yuan was the first to raise his hand: "Swordsman, after the training of the first middle passerby, I feel that my acting skills have improved by leaps and bounds, and the role of fortune teller will be handed over to me." ”

"Can you finish your PS photo work?"

"It's okay to be late."

"Then the role of fortune teller will be given to you." Bai Yuhan nodded, Liu Yuan is also an old courtier, and there is no reason to stop him if he wants to act a play, "There are a few roles left, Li Long, Cheng Tianle, do you want to try?" ”

"I'll forget it."

"I'll forget it too."

"Ma Xin wants to take pictures, it seems that he is going to find some new actors, Da Fei, are you done with this?"

Zhao Dafei said nonchalantly: "I'll go to the art school and call a few students over." ”

"There's also a venue, you have to look for it too. There are scenes in front of the bank, there are scenes in the demolition ruins, and there are scenes in the newly excavated construction site, all of which have to be on location. The rest of the dialogue and interviews with reporters in the rental room can be filmed in the place where I live, as well as in the photo studio. ”

"I see."

"Li Yumin, the short film still involves some props, wait for you to find Zhao Yingying to get the money and handle it. By the way, you're a directing student, so you should have some way to buy props, right? ”

Li Yumin nodded: "There are some ways, I have a classmate who makes props in the Radio and Television Center, and I can contact him to buy or lease a batch." ”

"Okay, that's all for today's meeting, we're ready to get ready for the future, and we'll start filming in two days. After all, I plan to shoot ten episodes of the entire series first, and even if I can't do it in one week, I will have to produce one episode in at least two weeks. ”

At the end of the meeting, Bai Yuhan pulled Zhao Dafei to the office.

"Da Fei, you are an account manager, have you ever thought about how we make money in this show?"

"To be honest, I thought about it, but I didn't expect it."

Bai Yuhan also knows that at this stage, although the Internet is developing rapidly, the penetration rate is still low, and businesses have not yet set their sights on the Internet. Unlike in the next few years, online short films will become the focus of major video websites, and there are more and more cooperation with advertisers.

Therefore, at this stage, from Zhao Dafei's point of view, in addition to entertaining himself, the short dramas he filmed really can't find a place to make a profit.

Bai Yuhan can't find any good profit direction by himself, there is no way, he is just stuffed into his head for many episodes, but God didn't tell him about the future development of the world, at most through some of the content in the episodes, he knows some leftovers.

"Otherwise, you have a lot of friends, a wide range of roads, do you have friends in the advertising circle, dig into the wall, see if there are customers who are willing, and use product placement advertising to advertise. We can insert a lot of content into the short film, focus on the ads, or even just shoot short dramas around the ads. ”

Speaking of which, Bai Yuhan thought of a very exciting short drama he saw in the future, called "Never Expected", ahem, a typical plot implanted in an advertisement, an eight-minute short film, at least five minutes are advertisements, and the remaining three minutes are to tell the story. Of course, Bai Yuhan has decided to shoot this drama in the future, and some of the jokes, especially the first one, are too exciting.

It is worthy of being a divine drama that claims to break one billion clicks.

Of course, it won't be filmed in the near future, and the current Internet can't promote the popularity of such a drama, so it's a pity to shoot it. It is necessary to wait for the Internet to become popular to a certain extent and the number of netizens to increase greatly before filming as a finale.

After a while with Zhao Dafei, he determined the current profit target, which is to try to see if he can dig into the wall from several advertising companies and pull a group of customers to place product placements. If you have it, it's naturally good, and if you don't, it doesn't matter, the photo studio can make up for the loss of the studio for the time being.

But how to say, Bai Yuhan is full of confidence in the future.

……

Two days later, "Happy Little 2B: The Redemption of the White Swordsman" officially started filming.

Shoot the location scene first, located in the demolition ruins near Nanqili Station, this scene is the white swordsman and Niu Yinan, who have just dug the tunnel, to help the police. Seized bank robbery. Robbers.

Originally, Bai Yuhan only planned to find two or three people to play the police. Observe and make a show. As a result, Zhao Dafei disagreed, saying that he wanted to make a big scene, so he found more than a dozen students from the star art school to act.

If Bai Yuhan hadn't stopped him, he would have planned to find a friend from the police station to borrow a police car.

All in all, the scene was very lively.

The students of these art schools not only came over by themselves, but also brought objects and the like to play, so the men and women crowded a bunch of people.

"Da Fei, you pull all the irrelevant people away and let them speak quietly, so as not to affect the sound of the scene." Bai Yuhan, who was dressed in mud, said to Zhao Dafei, who was also covered in mud.

The two of them played a tunnel that had just been dug through, so they were covered in mud and dusty faces, which was very funny.

Zhao Dafei went to catch up with people, and Bai Yuhan called a group of students over: "You guys assign it, two people play robbery. Robbers, the rest are police. Examine. ”

"Director, acting. Does the robber have any lines? A student asked with a hippie smile.

Bai Yuhan smiled slightly: "Does body language count as lines?" ”

"Cut, then I don't want to rob. Robber, I'm going to play a police officer. Examine. ”

"Police. Cha is too ordinary, just playing soy sauce, and in addition to the two policemen headed by him. Except for one line, there is nothing else. Rob. The robber is different, there are at least a few seconds of close-up, and the shape is more exaggerated, which is very eye-catching! Bai Yuhan was earnestly induced.

"yes, then I'm still acting as a robber. The robber is good. The student was immediately shaken.

"Okay, Li Yumin, give him stockings pullover."

"Wait a minute, director, why do you still have stocking pullovers, isn't that faceless?"

"I didn't say anything about robbing. The robber wants to show his face, okay, stop talking nonsense, hurry up and change your clothes, we'll shoot it! ”

After half an hour of preparation, Li Yumin shouted loudly: ""The Redemption of the White Swordsman", the first scene of the first scene, bravely capture the gangsters, start!" ”
