Chapter 136 Filming Progress: 2/5

Of course, Zhang Yimou can only be a registered producer, at most a little bit of guidance to Su Li, but the meaning contained here is surprising.

It is of great significance for Su Li and this movie that he can be a registered producer of this movie, basically anyone who is familiar with the movie knows that Zhang Yimou will naturally not be the real producer of this movie. But everyone can see some of the relationship between Zhang Yimou and this young man because of this.

Some viewers who don't know the truth will be attracted to the cinema by the three big words Zhang Yimou, and the audience who knows the truth also wants to see how much relationship Zhang Yimou has with this movie and will enter the cinema.

For those movie theater chains, they will add a lot of screens to provide the screening of this film because of these three words, because they know that it is in their own interest, at least when similar movies are competing, they will be the first to play for "Nightclub". Supermarket" opens the way.

………… In short, this is a thing that benefits Su Li immensely, so he feels that a big piece of pie has hit him.

"Of course that's good, it's just, Mr. Zhang...... That shouldn't have any negative impact on you, right? Su Li hurriedly asked, he was always a little uneasy in his heart when he received favors for no reason, so he asked this question.

"It won't make a difference." Zhang Yimou smiled and said, "I watched your "Nightclub. The filming script of "Supermarket" really attracted me, and the kind of funny way that is natural also makes me very interested, and I am looking forward to the success of your filming, how about it? You don't agree with me to make me a "nightclub. The screenwriter of "Supermarket"? ”

"Agreed......" Su Li finally thought about the gains and losses in his mind, and found that he had nothing worth calculating the other party at all, not to mention that Zhang Yimou, a big man, had nothing to calculate himself. Therefore, although Su Li was still a little puzzled as to why Zhang Yimou could help him so much, he still quickly agreed to this matter: "Thank you for your help, Teacher Zhang." ”

Zhang Yimou looked at Su Li with interest: "Do you want to ask why I suddenly helped you so much?" ”

Su Li is also very honest, he doesn't want to hide this kind of thing, and there is no need to hide it: "Yes, I'm curious......"

"You don't have to worry about anything, I can help you with this kind of effort...... There aren't too many reasons, it's just because I appreciate what you just said, appreciate your original intention, and as long as I can help in the future, I can still help you in some aspects. Of course, the road still requires you to move forward step by step, hoping that you can go on towards the goal you want. When he said this, Zhang Yimou had a friendly smile on his face, as if he was talking to a student he knew very well: "I'm getting older now, maybe I won't be able to make a movie for long...... You call me Teacher Zhang...... I'll keep it like this in the future, and I'll take the time to watch "Nightclub" in a few days. Supermarket" filming site. ”

"Ah......" Su Li heard Zhang Yimou's heartfelt words, and only then did he understand what he thought.

Yes, it's also time for him to support newcomers, and there are countless newcomers who can gain under Zhang Yimou. Obviously, he has also become one of the newcomers that Lao Mouzi is ready to support, and he has made a certain commitment.

It seems that his original plan to find Zhang Yi to seek land has been exceeded, Su Li's heart is full of gratitude, he stood up and bowed respectfully: "Teacher Zhang, thank you for your support, I don't dare to say anything else, I can only say that I will definitely work hard......"

Zhang Yimou smiled slightly and said, "It's good to work hard, I look forward to your success." ”

Su Li nodded heavily, he now thanked Zhang Yimou for his help, appreciation, and commitment, and this nod now is also a gratitude and commitment to Zhang Yimou.

Zhang Yimou also talked about the remuneration for the script of "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree", and he wanted to give Su Li a remuneration of 100,000 yuan, but Su Li himself refused. Although he is very short of money to spend now, he really has no reason to take this 100,000 yuan, and what Zhang Yimou promised him, even if it is dozens of 100,000, he may not be able to buy it, at least that kind of resource can be called priceless.

Zhang Yimou's movies are indeed good, although this person always tries to cater to Western tastes, and some people also say that he is good at camping, but his connections and resources in the film industry cannot be denied.

Su Li got Zhang Yimou's help, and his plan would definitely be able to carry out smoothly.

After saying goodbye to Zhang Yimou, Zhang Yimou said that he would come to watch "Nightclub" in a few days. At the filming site of "Supermarket", Su Li corrected some scripts in the afternoon, and by the way, copied the songs written for some people in the company onto paper, and then began to revise the script of his next plan.

In the past few days, his life has basically been spent in this tense journey, and Su Li has been on the shooting site since seven o'clock in the afternoon.

He instructed everyone to restore the shooting scene to its original state, and the shooting progress bar will continue to rise from today.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the winter night covers the land.

Today's first shot is the dialogue between Tang Xiaolian played by Yang Mi and He Sanshui played by Xu Zheng, and now Su Li is talking to Xu Zheng, but he is far from spending as much talk on Xu Zheng as he did to Zhao Yingjun. Xu Zheng is also an old actor, looking at his movie works, there is almost no time when he wants to make the audience laugh through exaggerated expressions, although he will have his own play in the movie, but such a play is reasonable.

"Well, Mr. Xu, there are not too many requirements, the main thing is to see your performance, you have read the script, you should know a lot about He Sanshui." Su Li still has the title of a teacher on these people's lips, which makes Xu Zheng a little dissatisfied: "Su Li, you just call me Lao Xu...... Or Xu Zheng can also be, don't call me a teacher. ”

"Ah...... It's not good. Su Li felt that he had to give him enough respect, Xu Zheng thought about it and said, "Then you call me Brother Xu, don't call me Teacher Xu anymore, I'm embarrassed to hear it." ”

Su Li had no choice but to nod.

The first shot of Xu Zheng and Yang Mi is about to start shooting, and Yang Mi is standing on the cash register - she also deliberately learned how to use the cash register by a supermarket salesperson for this film, and it looks like that now.

Now there is no Su Li's lens, Su Li is standing next to Lu Zhongfei and staring at the shooting site together, and now there are three cameras working, one of which is pulling out a long lens to control the overall situation, the other is giving Xu Zheng who is changing into a costume a close-up of his back, and the last one is shooting Xu Zheng from Yang Mi's point of view.

The combination of the three lenses is more clever, of course, it is better not to have another camera in the lens of the camera, otherwise it is not easy to remove that camera in post-processing, and the budget will increase exponentially.

Su Li is basically performing the duties of the assistant director, he follows Lu Zhongfei's side, looks at the monitor with him, and sometimes Lu Zhongfei also asks Su Li to help make some gestures to let the cameramen shoot according to Lu Zhongfei's requirements. In this kind of study, Su Li's directing ability is also increasing, and he estimates that his directing ability will be able to break through level 3.

Now the number of points on the 'Superstar Development System' has also started to slowly increase, as he has been completing tasks lately.

The first is the establishment of the 'Burning Shadow Special Effects Studio' and the 'Li Guang Film Studio', which also completed the two tasks given to him by the system, from the task of the special effects studio he obtained 1000 points, and from the task of the film studio he got 2000 points, so that the points in his system have also increased a lot.

And one of his big tasks recently was to gain Zhang Yimou's appreciation, which he found tempting at first - the reward of 2,500 points shows that it is not an easy task. Fortunately, he was finally finished, plus he started filming "Nightclub. Supermarket", and some shots are gradually filmed, and the points in Su Li's hand have become 7,000 points!

This is also a wealth that is difficult for him to achieve, and Su Li now has a little bit of a clear understanding of the style of the 'Superstar Cultivation System' to release tasks, first of all, those tasks that are helpful to the main things he wants to do in the future, and the rewards are relatively high, while the rewards for those small tasks that improve his abilities in all aspects over time are not high.

For example, Zhang Yimou's big task, although it doesn't seem to have much to do with it, but if you think about it carefully, you can know that Zhang Yimou is a powerful help to his main goals in the future.

It's just that although his points have become richer and richer, Su Li still feels that it is not enough - when the 'Burning Shadow Special Effects Studio' finishes all the work on "Red Cliff", he will give them the most critical CG technology, which will directly cost 5,000 points! This time you can eat yourself poor.

And this is not over, Su Li will also redeem the top 'motion capture' technology for some future film plans, which requires Su Li to have at least 20,000 points.

These are all worth tangling into, so Su Li has a lot of points on hand, but in reality it is far from enough. Su Li still needs to work hard to earn points and earn them back to cope with future redemptions.

Back to the shooting scene in front of him, He Sanshui, played by Xu Zheng, walked in from outside the supermarket, and the arrangement of this shot is a close-up of Xu Zheng's back, and the camera followed Xu Zheng to the cashier of the supermarket at an upward angle. From the upward shot of the camera, only his high-necked coat can be seen, and after a few shots, other shots need to be connected immediately, and Xu Zheng's bare face suddenly appears in the frame after an empty shot.

These are all post-processing effects, and now you need to work with several cameras at the same time.

"Welcome-" Tang Xiaolian, played by Yang Mi, heard a noise at the door, and said enthusiastically while sorting out things on the cash register. As a result, after seeing clearly that it was He Sanshui, his tone became impatient and "Come to ......"

Xu Zheng didn't care, the main shooting shot now was his back, and his body was trembling: "What about your boss?" ”

………… The confrontation between Yang Mi and Xu Zheng is quite feeling, the impatient supermarket salesman, He Sanshui, who is full of resentment, the confrontation between the two of them is quickly in progress, Su Li has a background shot at this time, so he came to the side of the refrigerator and squatted down.

Soon, the first skirmish of the film's shooting came.

He Sanshui's cousin ran in with a black mask, Tang Xiaolian wanted to go over and call the police, but the huge tire jumped on the cash register, and then grabbed the phone and fell to the ground.

Now there is also a scene of Su Li, he rushed over to stop the tire, but was overturned by the tire and fell to the ground.

"Stop......" Lu Zhongfei came to Su Li and said, "You just fell too fake." ”

"Uh......" Su Li was stunned, he was a little afraid that the action just now would be a bit fake if he fell into his body.

Fortunately, after doing it all over again, Su Li fell more well, but this also caused a faint pain in his body.

Xu Zheng's performance is really not bad at all, as an old actor, he is vivid in both expression and action, and Su Li's acting ability can also be improved because of the relationship between Xu Zheng and Yang Mi.

Tonight, I took dozens of shots and then called it a day, and it was early in the morning, and today as usual, Su Li sent Yang Mi home.

……………… The filming process progressed relatively quickly in the next few days, and soon, the first week of filming had passed.

Now "Nightclub. Nearly 200 shots have been taken, and the filming process has been completed by about 5/2, which is the same speed as Su Li predicted. More than 200 shots have filmed the plot of their filming, except for some things that happened in the separate KTV room that was not filmed according to the timeline, and the scene where the proprietress came back and smashed Xu Zheng with a bag of canned Coke in the middle of the film.

This shot is a bit difficult, and the person who plays the boss lady is also the actor in the original movie, Xu Zheng was beaten up and down by her, but she was a little inadequate.

After tossing and turning several times, Su Li felt that the film was beating so distressingly, but fortunately, when the time came to two o'clock in the morning, the shot was finally completed - Xu Zheng was beaten and shouted loudly with his eyes closed: "Tire." Tyre! ”

"Tires? Also jack for you! The actor who played the proprietress Wang Sufen held the murder weapon in her hand high and was about to fall The moment she was stunned by the electric baton, and then the close-up quickly appeared, and the huge face of the actor playing the tire filled the entire shot: "I am the tire." ”

This shot was finally completed, and Su Li was a little relieved for a while, and the last shot of the first week of filming was completed.

From the current point of view, the shooting efficiency is very good, Su Li asked others to call it a day first, and he himself was to conduct the final inspection of some shots with Lu Zhongfei, and some of them needed to be reshot again. Looking at the shots, Su Li was also full of a sense of accomplishment for a while, this movie started from scratch, like a building that gradually accumulated bricks and stones, and became more and more real.

Su Li and Lu Zhongfei discussed some things about the director, and they couldn't hold their mouths for a while, and when it was almost three o'clock, he suddenly remembered that Yang Mi was still waiting for him, and quickly said sorry and sent Yang Mi away.
