0018 【Celebration Banquet】
Huang Bo deserves to be the future actor, and after watching the sample, he told Shao Shuaijun that he had captured the feeling. So I re-shot the sewers. The sewer has two parts, one is an intact sewer and is used to shoot the front and back, and the other is to dig out half of the sewer and use it to shoot the side.
The sewer is full of mud and smelly, and most people want to vomit when they smell it, let alone crawl in it. Actors are very hard, especially actors who have no career, let alone drill into the sewer, if you really need to, you have to jump even if you jump into the manure tank.
The reshot was more perfect than the last time, Shao Shuaijun finally nodded with satisfaction, and Huang Bo immediately rushed into the bathroom......
Before you know it, it's been seven days of filming. In order to save money, I filmed all the scenes of some irrelevant supporting roles in seven days, and then sent the crew away to save some money. As soon as the filming was completed on the seventh day, Zhao Cheng rushed to the crew and told Shao Shuaijun a good news.
"Director Shao, just now Mr. Wang called, "Buried Alive" was painted, and the final box office was 23.5 million, ranking fourth in the total box office of this year's movie. The first movie has passed 20 million, is there anything you want to say? ”
"What do you want to say? It doesn't seem to be. ”
"Hehe, you're just too boring, rest early tonight, let Li Kai and Wang Yixue take over tomorrow's filming temporarily, and let's go to Yanjing to participate in the celebration banquet."
"Can you not go?"
"Let's go, others can't wait to preach every day if they have a little achievement, it's good for you, I filmed in the mountain city for a few days, and the reporter didn't let them in. How can this be done, now is the era of eyeball economy, if you want to have a big box office, you have to build momentum, and if there is no news, you have to make news......"
"I don't care how you do publicity, I don't participate anyway. I just like to make good stories and make good movies, don't drag me into this mess. "How deep the water in the entertainment industry is, Shao Shuaijun knows it clearly, and he can't struggle out when he enters. He just wants to stay detached, like the Wachowski brothers who filmed "The Matrix", oh wrong, they are sisters and brothers, and live their lives in a low-key manner, instead of living in front of the glamorous camera.
“…… Forget it, you can do whatever you want, but tomorrow's celebration banquet, you should go for it. You don't want to be famous, how can you think about it for Sanxi and Anan, don't you go to know them...... Take them with you, and I'll call Mr. Wang back. ”
Looking at Liu Sanxi, Anan and others who were packing up their equipment, Shao Shuaijun was silent. He is a person who has come over and has seen through the entertainment industry, but what about Liu Sanxi and these people, what they hope for is to become famous, "Buried Alive" has their credit, and they should be given a chance. Moreover, Liu Sanxi and others went all the way to him Shao Shuaijun, busy in the crew, doing handymen while playing supporting roles, but only getting a little money.
In fact, the entire crew, there are no people who take more money, compared with other film crews, "Crazy Stone" has become a super shabby crew because Shao Shuaijun doesn't want to be financed and doesn't want to be interfered with. If it's not the expectation of the future, who wants to work hard?
Zhao Cheng was on the phone outside, the staff greeted and left one after another, and Shao Shuaijun sat on the chair and thought for a while. Until the field reporter sloppily took out the film and said hello to him.
"Director, I'll take the film to Director Zhang." Director Zhang is the director of production, Zhang Yu, who is responsible for the processing of the film.
Shao Shuaijun woke up and waved his hand: "Wait a minute, I'll ask you something." ”
"What's the matter?"
"What do you make movies for?"
The sloppy monk was puzzled: "Director, why are you doing here?" ”
"For a dream? To become famous? Or something else? ”
Ma Hu was stunned, and said with a smile: "It's too far away to say that you dream of becoming famous or something, although you have this extravagant hope in your heart, you still want to eat for the sake of mixed food." Director, look at my answer, is it okay? "Ma Huo is twenty-seven or eighteen years old this year, and he is very diligent in his work, but he is a little frizzy. Although he is older than Shao Shuaijun, in front of Shao Shuaijun, he always feels that he is a junior.
"Heh, it's okay, you go get busy." Shao Shuaijun patted the sloppy shoulder, quite satisfied with this answer.
Sloppy trotting out, Shao Shuaijun looked at the empty studio, and smiled self-deprecatingly: "Reborn, this is frightened, and my thoughts are all on the tip of the horns." The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. Everyone is chasing the word 'profit', and I don't want to make money...... Deal with the scene that should be, and keep the rest to yourself, don't always go to extremes, Shao! ”
Thinking of this, Shao Shuaijun immediately shouted: "Sloppy, sloppy, you wait for me!" ”
"What's the matter?"
Sloppy trotted back again.
"What, starting tomorrow, for less important scenes, reporters are allowed to come in for interviews, and you can also cooperate with Zhao Cheng's side to do publicity."
"Okay!"
Zhao Cheng just walked in after making a phone call, and said with a smile: "Director Shao, have you figured it out?" ”
"No, I won't be interviewed by reporters casually anyway."
"Keep it mysterious, Director Shao has a lot of ideas."
……
Huayi Brothers made a lot of money by distributing "Buried Alive", according to the share of the domestic box office, the theater chain and the cinema took the lion's share, and the distributor took the small head, but there was also a share of more than 30 percent, adding up to six or seven million revenues. The box office alone made up for the buyout fee of 5 million.
The DVD version of "Buried Alive" has already begun to be printed, and it is expected to earn five or six million, and the total income will exceed more than 15 million if it is distributed in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and abroad. While making money, the reputation of "Buried Alive" is also very good, and at the moment when domestic films are generally in recession, "Buried Alive" has attracted a lot of attention with its ultra-low cost, profound connotation and creative ideas.
It can be said that this "Buried Alive" has directly brought Huayi Brothers' film career to a new level.
Wang Zhonglei's reputation for knowing people has spread in the film industry, and the one who directly became the negative background is Yu Dong of Poly Bona. As a competitor, Wang Zhonglei did not hesitate to his tail in front of the east, showing his keen eyes.
As a great hero, when Shao Shuaijun got off the plane, Wang Zhonglei personally drove Daben to pick up the plane.
"Xiao Shao, I still say the same thing, the door of Huayi Brothers has always been open for you, you come in, and the treatment is the same as that of Director Feng Xiaogang. Huayi Brothers' resources are all open to you. ”
"I understand Mr. Wang's kindness, and when I figure it out, I will definitely defect to Mr. Wang." Shao Shuaijun didn't say anything.
Wang Zhonglei smiled, did not continue the topic, and began to tell some jokes to liven up the atmosphere. This time, the celebration banquet was held at the Beijing International Hotel, and many well-known media were invited to participate, Wang Zhongjun, the president of Huayi Brothers, also appeared at the celebration banquet, as well as many well-known filmmakers, including director Feng Xiaogang.
