Chapter 86: "People in Embarrassment" starts
Wang Xu spent three days working overtime to finish filming the remaining scenes in "Report to the Boss", and decided to meet the national audience on Youdou at 8 p.m. on September 3.
In the past three days, Wang had a happy thing, Ye Weimin, the director of "Embarrassment", proposed to increase the budget by 2oo yuan, saying that with only 5oo yuan, he could not guarantee that he would make a high-quality film. Wang Xu was overjoyed to hear the news, and immediately asked Fang Xiaoyan to talk about financing.
In the end, after negotiation, the film budget was increased to 7oo yuan, of which Wu * Hanhuaqi Film and Television invested 4oo yuan, and Wang Xu's Golden Hammer Film and Television Studio invested 3oo yuan.
Although Wang Xu doesn't remember how many final ticket parties for "People Are in Embarrassment", he knows that this film is a box office dark horse like "Crazy Stone" released in O6, and it is a model of success for small-budget films.
Wang Xu has already dreamed of Grandpa Mao, he is confident, but Fang Xiaoyan is not as confident as him, no one dares to say that it will be popular before the movie is released, she persuaded Wang Xu with a cautious attitude, one million investment should be a test of the waters, and three million think that there is a risk.
When Wang Xu arrived in Wuhan, on the way back to the hotel, Fang Xiaoyan couldn't help but persuade him to be careful when investing in the future, she had seen many celebrities who had lost all their money and few who could do business, and she saw that Wang Xu was also a person who couldn't do business.
Wang Xu admitted that he was not a businessman, but he coaxed: "I will say that I will pinch my fingers and calculate that the box office of "People in Embarrassment" will not be less than 5ooo million, Sister Xiaoyan, do you believe it?" ”
Fang Xiaoyan didn't think about it, and said: "Impossible, I estimate this small-budget movie to be 2ooo million, at most 3ooo million!" ”
"Do you dare to bet?" Wang Xu said with a smile: "If I win, you have to cook a table of dishes and invite me to dinner, and you have to praise me a hundred times in a row at the dinner table, and you can't repeat it." If you lose, I'll cook the dishes myself, praise you for a hundred sentences without repetition, bet or not? ”
"I'm sure I'll win, bet!"
"Refreshing, Ruan Ruan, which side are you on?"
Chen Ruan looked at Wang Xu and said, "I really want to see Brother Sledgehammer praise Sister Xiaoyan for a hundred sentences without repetition, so I support Sister Xiaoyan." ”
"It's a pain in vain." Wang Xu glared at Chen Ruan, then looked at Wu Yi and said with a smile: "Wu Yi, you are an honest child, which side do you say you are on?" ”
Wu Yi wanted to say that he didn't know, but when he saw Wang Xu's smiling eyes, he hurriedly changed his words: "I'm on your side, Brother Sledgehammer." ”
"Or Wuyi, you have a vision, if the box office exceeds 5ooo million, I will have a big feast, I want to celebrate presumptuously!"
Wang Xu was in a very happy mood, and patted Wu Yi on the shoulder and said that he would invite him to taste Wu * Han's snacks in the evening, and when he heard that a certain little woman who was not determined to eat just now abandoned her position and said: "Brother Sledgehammer, I have gone through some deep introspection and feel that you are still right, I decided to stand on your side, so I will also eat supper!" ”
"It's inevitable that young people will make some mistakes, and you will be counted as a late-night snack."
"Yay!"
At nine o'clock in the morning of the next day, "People in Embarrassment" held a simple start-up worship ceremony on Wu*Han Xudong Street in a low-key manner. The two leading actors Wang Xu and Wang Baoqiang burned incense for Master Guan, and set off a few strings of firecrackers to finish the matter, there was no press conference, no other stars came to cheer, only three or five reporters from the local media in Wu * Han came to report it.
Fortunately, there are two or three hundred fans on the scene to support, and more than 1,000 citizens on the street are watching the excitement, which is not very shabby. Small-budget movies are like this, there is no money for publicity, there is no money to report round-trip air tickets to reporters, and every cent and every cent must be deducted.
In order to save costs, at the beginning of the film, Li Chenggong, the boss played by Wang Xu, invited the three backbones of the company to eat in a luxury restaurant at the end of the year, and finally Li Chenggong returned to Chang Sha's home. These two places are borrowed from private individuals, Boss Liu of Huaqi Film and Television contributed his living room as a luxury restaurant, and Wang Xu also provided Chang Sha's newly renovated home for free.
The Wuhan * Han Airport, Han* Kou and Hong'an * County Bali Railway Station that appear in the film are all sponsored by the crew for free under the signboards of Wang Xu and Wang Baoqiang, two popular stars, and the price paid is that the two stars and the leaders and staff of the airport and the railway station took a group photo.
After the worship ceremony, the crew moved to Boss Liu's house to prepare for the filming of the opening scene of "People in Embarrassment".
This movie is set in the Spring Festival, telling the story of the Spring Festival approaching, the owner of the toy group Li Chenggong (Wang Xu) returned to Chang * Sha for the New Year, and at the same time, under the pressure of **, he was ready to divorce his wife after the New Year. As a result, after meeting Niu Geng (Wang Baoqiang), a milkman who went to Chang * Sha to collect debts, bad luck continued. The trick of fate, Niu Geng met Li Chenggong unexpectedly all the way. The two of them were constantly embarrassed on the way, and they also encountered all kinds of people and strange things, which made Li Chenggong unbearable.
Li Chenggong played by Wang Xu, in his thirties, nicknamed Big Big Wolf, is the CEO of United Doll Culture Group. He is as shrewd and mean as his nickname, Big Big Wolf.
Wang Xu wants to play a successful boss in his thirties, with the help of makeup and some props. There is a saying that whether handsome or not is all about the type, first of all, you must comb all the oil on the forehead, which is the type exclusive to successful people, commonly known as "big back head". Those who have watched Zhou Run's film and television works know that Zhou Run, who combs his back with a big back, gives people the feeling of being **, confident, and successful.
With a comb on his big back, Wang Xu already thinks about the boss for five points, and then wears a pair of Si Swenwen glasses, plus a suit and leather shoes, he has seven or eight bosses, counting his own self-confident temperament, he is a successful person when he comes out.
Wang Xu was still satisfied with his image, swaggering in the room and walking a few times to have a taste, only to see him walk in front of Wang Baoqiang, patted Baoqiang's shoulder and said with a pleasant face: "Baoqiang, you will be promoted to manager after you don't miss this year's performance." ”
"Boss, I will definitely work harder next year!"
"Very good, very good, you all learn from Baoqiang!"
Boss Wang is kind to everyone outside the play, and he also wants to be "kind and happy" in the play, the first scene of "People in the Way" is about Li Chenggong inviting the company's three key employees to eat Chinese New Year's Eve, and he "praised" the three employees with a "kind face" and a wolf-like smile.
At the beginning of the play, it was a luxurious restaurant, Wang Xu's Li Chenggong was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, and the three employees sat opposite and watched him dine alone.
Li Chenggong put down the tableware slowly, glanced at the three employees with sharp eyes, and said: "Knowing you makes me believe that every qiē is the arrangement of fate, maybe God has long been destined to lead us through the darkness." ”
After a pause, his tone suddenly changed: "Now what I want to say is, what kind of evil I created in my last life, the national animation market is so hot, you actually show me such sales results." ”
While saying that, he looked at the first and second people on the right, and showed a smile like a gray wolf: "Your IQ is really refreshing, and Xiao Zhang, you are still making progress this year, you were mentally handicapped last year, and you have been promoted to stupidity this year." ”
In the end, Wang Xu stared at the third staff with a long head and said: "And about you, I have always felt that there are two kinds of people in the world who are the most attractive, one is a very beautiful person, and the other is you, thank you for making me realize that it is a truth that the head is long and the knowledge is short, and you don't have to go to work after the Spring Festival." ”
"Boss, this is my resignation letter!"
"This is the best decision you've made this year!"
In just a few sentences, Li Chenggong's mean and arrogant character is revealed, and it also has a distinct comedic style. Today, Wang Xu can be regarded as a thick accumulation, and he performed very well in this scene.
"Okay, sledgehammer I should give you a round of applause."
Wang Baoqiang shouted hello and took the lead in applauding. Wang Xu stood up and clapped at everyone, and said with a smile: "Everyone's applause is warmer, give us three handsome guys, your performance is amazing!" ”
"Brother Sledgehammer has won the prize, has won the prize, thank you, thank you!"
The three young people are all employees of Huaqi Film and Television, and they are all extras for free, and the experience of playing against big stars is enough for them to brag in front of their relatives and friends for a while.
