Episode 12: Remakes are unrealistic
After changing into new clothes, Wang Rong took Lin Feihong to the filming base. After bypassing a few lanes and two main streets, Lin Feihong and Wang Rong arrived at their destination. The filming venue brought by Wang Rong should be the headquarters of the "Old Boy" filming area, to be precise, it is just a temporary tent with 200 square meters, and a banner is hung directly above the "gate" outside the tent: "Old Boy" shooting headquarters, idlers are not allowed to enter!
There are many such tents in the film and television shooting bases of Tuku Investment Network, most of which are shooting new movies like "Old Boy", which have just emerged, and have no popularity and no fixed popularity. This, to say that it sounds good, is a benefit of the website, and that it is difficult to hear is to give you a chance.
Although there are many such temporary tents, few of them are written and directed, and most screenwriters upload scripts, or hire others to be directors, or directly assign directors by websites. There are also self-written and directed screenwriters like Lin Feihong, but there are very few, but most of these few screenwriters are also screenwriters with the dream of directing, but a director like Lin Feihong at the age of 18 will definitely not find a second one.
The scenery in the tent is not very good, except for a few cameras, two dressing tables, most of them are living utensils, and the rest are people, almost 50 people, actors, photographers, in short, the whole crew members are gathered in this tent of almost 200 square meters.
It turns out that there is also a hierarchical distribution of continuous films, and there is also discrimination, whether the movie is good or bad, to be precise, how good the director is, how well-known he is, or the popularity and popularity of the screenwriter all determine the fate of the entire crew.
Lin Feihong is just a newcomer among the hundreds of millions of screenwriters on Tuku.com, he has no fixed popularity, no popularity, he is still a director, but the popularity and popularity of this director are completely zero, less than one-ten-thousandth of that as a screenwriter, he has not shot a movie in this new world, not even a micro-movie.
This kind of extremely poorly known Lin Feihong, who is both a screenwriter and a director, is naturally not welcomed by everyone. When he walked in, everyone looked back at him a few times, this gaze was definitely not a welcoming gaze, at most it was just curious who this self-written and directed director was and what he looked like.
Lin Feihong's appearance was ordinary, nothing special, and everyone buried themselves in their own things after taking a few looks.
Although Lin Feihong felt embarrassed, his attention was on finding his chosen leading actors Xu Zhen and Wang Baoqiang, but after searching for a long time, he still couldn't find any trace of them. Could it be that the lead actor has been changed?
Lin Feihong was wondering, Wang Rong suddenly pulled Lin Feihong in front of everyone and introduced loudly: "This is the new director of our entire crew of "Old Boy", and also the screenwriter of this movie, now please ask our director to say a few words for us, everyone applauds and welcomes!" ”
After speaking, Wang Rong clapped her hands first, and the others echoed a few times perfunctorily.
Although he was not popular, Lin Feihong still concealed the unhappiness in his heart, cleared his mind a little, and said loudly: "Producer Wang has already introduced it just now, I am Lin Feihong, the director of "Old Boy" that we are going to shoot this time, and I am very happy to meet you here... I know that I am just a novice, just an unknown director and screenwriter, and I can't compare with those big-name directors and screenwriters, but I believe that as long as we work together, one day we will stand in front of the public like them and be recognized by everyone." I hope that in the future, we can work well together and make better films in the best possible condition. ”
After speaking, Lin Feihong whispered to Wang Rong: "Wait a minute, you can show me the content of the preliminary shooting, and I will study the next shooting plan." ”
"Okay." Wang Rong nodded.
"That's right." Lin Feihong asked Wang Rong again, "What about the starring role I chose, has it changed?" ”
"No, I'm wondering where they went." Wang Rong replied in a low voice.
That's when ...
"We're back." The sound of a loudspeaker came in the doorway.
As soon as he heard the voice, Lin Feihong knew that it was Wang Baoqiang's voice, and his special voice made it difficult to forget it after listening to it for the first time, followed by Xu Zhen. The real life of these two people is exactly the same as Lin Feihong's two big-name stars in his previous life, Xu Zheng and Wang Baoqiang, for a moment, Lin Feihong had an illusion that he thought he was really with two big stars.
When Wang Baoqiang and Xu Zhen knew that Lin Feihong was their director, their reaction was not as senseless and indifferent as others, on the contrary, the two of them tightly pulled Lin Feihong and said a lot of words of thanks and the like, saying that Lin Feihong was their benefactor, and how Lin Feihong was so powerful, he was both a screenwriter and a director, especially Wang Baoqiang, who was very enthusiastic and loud, and his voice basically overpowered Xu Zhen's voice.
For the enthusiasm of the two, Lin Feihong also greeted them with a warm attitude, and only from their enthusiasm did Lin Feihong feel a little bit of his own value, to be precise, dignity.
Wang Baoqiang and Xu Zhen have only played dead people before, and they are not even actors who are not even playing tricks, how can they ever be the leading actors? This time, Lin Feihong gave them the opportunity to be the leading actors, and they naturally regarded Lin Feihong as a benefactor.
After the enthusiasm, Wang Rong took Lin Feihong to a computer screen next to the camera and opened the content of the previous shooting.
What catches your eye is not what Lin Feihong wants to see, although the content is basically the same, but it is very different from the "Old Boy" in his heart. The biggest difference is that Lin Feihong originally wanted Xu Zhen to be Wang Xiaoshuai, but in the end, it turned out to be the other way around, Wang Baoqiang became Wang Xiaoshuai, and Xu Zhen became Xiao Dabao.
"How? It works well. Wang Rong looked at Lin Feihong happily, wanting to see the joy in his eyes, and others were also looking at Lin Feihong, especially Wang Baoqiang and Xu Zhen, who wanted to get the affirmation of their directors.
"Whose idea was this?" Lin Feihong's face was expressionless.
Everyone was stunned.
"When I first chose the leading role, I also told you in detail that I wanted Xu Zhen to play Wang Xiaoshuai and Wang Baoqiang to play Xiao Dabao, you see that you are like this now, tell me how to continue filming." Lin Feihong stared at Wang Rong.
"It's not my idea, it's the former director's idea, and I told him about your design, but he said that he is now the director, and the design is still up to him... Although I am the producer, I also have to respect the director's decision, and you know that if the producer is not happy to work with the director, will the film be good?" From Lin Feihong's eyes, Wang Rong saw that he was much more mature than his actual age, a sense of deterrence that his peers did not have, to be precise, there was a sense of deterrence unique to a thirty-year-old man, and when encountering this sense of deterrence, Wang Rong was like a trapped bird without the unique deterrent power of being the boss of the crew.
Lin Feihong took a long breath, controlled the anger in his heart, and after a long time, he said slowly: "Remake." ”
"Remake?" Wang Rong exclaimed.
"It's only been about 10 minutes now, and it's perfectly okay to reshoot, it's a micro-film of more than 40 minutes." Lin Feihong said lightly.
"No, the expenses given to us above are limited, if we want to reshoot, our shooting quality will be seriously reduced, and our quality of life will be even lowered, Director Lin, you have to think about it." Wang Rong said earnestly.
Others also agreed, except for Wang Baoqiang and Xu Zhen, they resolutely did not want to remake, after all, this is directly related to their quality of life, they said that if they want to remake, they will not do it, anyway, they don't expect this movie to be good, and they don't expect to get much compensation from the movie.
Xu Zhen and Wang Baoqiang respect Lin Feihong's decision, they were selected by Lin Feihong, and they will act whatever Lin Feihong wants them to do.
Based on the pressure of public opinion, Lin Feihong did not insist on his decision in the end, and he gave up the idea of remaking. At this point, he had no choice;
