Chapter 374: Just a Game?
It seems that the difficulty is insurmountable, but the final solution is very simple, Chen Feng and Wu Cheng went to Los Angeles and easily completed the shooting of this set of shots.
The film opens in this flashback, where Fahan suddenly receives a phone call and then learns of Lancher, who excitedly asks Lazu to go on a journey to find his friend.
Then the camera turns, and Fahan begins to recall his first encounter with Lancher in college, and then the plot changes, and the actual shooting returns to Hangzhou. The 207 dormitory looks good from the outside, but the inside is a little dilapidated, and the whole city suffered heavy rain in the later part of the film, the streets were flooded, and it was inevitable that the building would be blocked and flooded during filming.
Moreover, filming in the 207 dormitory, the approval process is also extremely cumbersome, not only to obtain the consent of the Hangzhou Hong Kong Art School, but also to report the entire filming process to the local historical building protection organization, and the other party also has to evaluate whether the shooting will cause damage to this "cultural relic" building, in short, a lot of troublesome problems, so that Chen Feng had to give up his plan to shoot in his "old nest".
In addition to the dormitory, another important filming location in the film is the library, Hangzhou-Hong Kong Art School does not have a large library, so you can only go to the library of Hangzhou-Hong Kong Chinese University, but the library of Hangzhou-Hong Kong Chinese University is even more "heavily guarded", there is no room for negotiation between this issue and the school, the library of Hangzhou-Hong Kong Chinese University has always been a forbidden place for all kinds of film shooting, and wanting to shoot here is tantamount to a fantasy.
These factors made Chen Feng finally give up his plan to shoot in Hangzhou Port. They found a private engineering school in the GZ metropolitan area. The filming of the campus in the film. It's all done at this school. Only when filming the school gate, the crew made a simple set to cover the original school emblem. The sparrow has turned into a phoenix, you must know that the North Harmon University of Technology in the film is the top university in China.
Chen Feng's new film attracted media attention at the beginning of filming, and although it was a non-commercial film with no stars, every time the crew filmed, there were always many reporters secretly shooting nearby. Although the public cares about it and the media hype is only Chen Feng, it has also brought publicity effects to the movie. In the end, everyone knew that Chen Feng was making a movie. It's called "Three Fools".
The news about Chen Feng's new film is not only a topic of conversation among Chinese fans, but also has attracted Li Haitao's attention. He didn't know when his boss would start making a new movie. At Huayu's headquarters, Li Haitao and Su Jie, the director of the bank, sat on the desk, and there was a "Hangzhou-Hong Kong Art School Campus Newspaper". There is an interview with Chen Feng above.
"'Three Fools', it sounds like a comedy."
"Yes, but there doesn't seem to be any investment this time" Su Jie said softly, after all, Chen Feng didn't greet them or take money from Huayu when he made this movie, which shows that the investment in "Three Fools" is definitely very low.
Li Haitao nodded, "Well, although Mr. Chen didn't spend much money on this movie, I believe he won't let us down, because he is Chen Feng, the best director in China." β
Su Jie at the very beginning. I have also paid attention to this film. But with the continuous exposure of the media, he found that this film was really just shot according to the standards of college students' film works. Chen Feng himself has three roles as screenwriter, director, and photographer, and the film shooting is very casual, reporters can freely enter and exit the set, and the actors are all amateur cameos. Slowly, Su Jie, like many people, really regarded this film as a "game" when Chen Feng was bored, and most people had already chosen to give up before they had a deep understanding. β¦,
"How much do you know about that film?"
"From what I know, there is not much difference between the real situation and the media reports, and all the investment in this film should add up to less than $500,000. It is estimated that the boss just wants to practice his hands, so as not to be a little rusty after not making a movie for half a year. I guess this movie is really just based on the work of college student films! β
"Is it really as simple as just practicing?" Li Haitao shook his head, and then gently tapped the newspaper on the table with his fingers, "Think back to the movies that Mr. Chen has directed before, Mr. Chen is a director who is reluctant to spend money?" Regardless of how he went to make that movie himself. Regardless of what the media says, I only know that he bought the adaptation rights of a novel of the Three Kingdoms for $200,000. But in the end, what was used in the script was just one of the other party's ideas. I suggest you read this report before jumping to conclusions. β
What the crew is going to shoot today is the part where the dean speaks to the freshmen. Except for several leading actors in the film, the other extras only know a rough idea of this scene. Chen Feng's only request to them was to treat themselves as a freshman, and then on the stage was their dean.
Chen Feng's camera followed behind the dean's "virus" and walked into the small square where the freshmen gathered, and the dean raised the bird's nest in his hand and asked the surrounding freshmen, "What is this?" β
One student replied, "Bird's nest! β
But the dean asked, "Who's?" β
There was clearly a model of a cuckoo bird standing on the nest in his hand, which made the student who had just answered the question a little nervous, because the answer was right in front of him, and because it was obvious, it made him hesitate.
"Is it a cuckoo?"
"Wrong!" The dean pointed at him, then walked up to the podium with the model of the bird's nest and began his speech: "The cuckoo never builds its own nest, it only lays eggs in other people's nests, and when it hatches, it squeezes the eggs of other birds out of the nest. As he spoke, he took out a real egg from the model bird's nest, and as soon as he let go, there was a "pop" and the egg fell to pieces on the ground.
The students in the audience all shrank their heads, and the dean seemed to be satisfied with the reaction of the students in the audience, he shook his palm, "The competition is over, their life begins with murder, this is nature!" Compete or die! β
After saying this, he walked over to the several large cardboard boxes prepared in advance on the stage, "You are like cuckoos!" β
He overturned the cardboard box, and a large pile of application files rolled to the ground, "This is the egg you smashed when you entered this school!" β
βSTOPοΌβ Chen Feng put down the camera, his camera was always aimed at the dean, and the other photographer in the crew kept filming the reaction of the students in the audience. The photographer nodded at him, and Chen Feng immediately announced the end of the shoot. (Your support on this site is my biggest motivation.) )
