Chapter 351: The Movie Begins
readx;
After sending off the media reporters, in the afternoon. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info the crew rested, and in the evening, the crew was in the dim lights, but it was the first set of shots of today.
The crew set up the lighting, recording, and camera.
Wang Qinian talked to the actors and staff about the next shots: "The protagonist in this movie, Mas, is a typical white-collar worker in a big city. He had a small amount of savings, but after separating from his first girlfriend, he did not start a family because of his love habit. On the surface, he is a stereotypical person, but in fact, he is full of talent, but his edges and corners have been smoothed out by reality......"
"The heroine Liu Yixin was Maas's lover ten years ago. Originally, she had been waiting for a fool, but there was no news for ten years, and under family pressure, she found a successful company executive and got married. However, the director of this company happens to be the boss of Maas's new company. ”
"At the wedding scene, the two people did not talk. But it is through fragmented memories that describe the relationship between them. But the depiction is not so comprehensive, leaving a little suspense and letting the audience guess ......"
After hearing Wang Qinian tell the role, Ning Hao raised his hand and said, "Boss, when the wedding camera was filmed, the chronological order was complete. In the process, we counted the clips and inserted a large number of memory shots. In my opinion, the camera should be more starkly contrasted, in the wedding, the groom's pride and the bride's forced smile. In the recollection shot, Liu Yixin is not happy. ≠≥”
"Well, that's how it was shot!" Wang Qinian nodded and said.
After explaining the plot, the crew began to work.
The set is a luxurious hotel.
After the arrangement of the staff of the small partner company, it became a wedding scene. Also, some of the staff in the hotel are happy to be extras.
Ning Hao and Du Jie, the two royal photographers of Wang Qinian, went into battle together to help Wang Qinian.
In fact, Ning Hao himself studied photography. The level of his cinematography is impatient, but he debuted as a director. However, in the face of Wang Qinian's achievements, Ning Hao also willingly picked up the camera and worked as a photographer in the crew.
As for Du Jie, he was mixed with Wang Qinian from the beginning. In the past few years, it has also flourished, and many big directors in the circle have named him to cooperate with him, so his level is also perfect, not inferior to many excellent photographers who have been mixed in the circle for decades.
The staff behind the scenes of the movie are also their own people, so it looks very smooth with Wang Qinian. Everyone can keep up with Wang Qinian's creative ideas very well.
Even if the article and Huang Shengyi are not too popular, the youthful atmosphere of the students has not faded, and the brokerage contracts have been signed for ten years, so they are naturally at the mercy of the partner company.
As the props crew set up the set, the extras were also in place. The actors, who officially had a role, changed their costumes with the help of makeup artists and stylists.
Because. This play is a fashion play in a modern context, so. Many of the costumes and jewelry in the movie are sponsored by big brands at home and abroad, and without affecting the quality of the movie, the partner company has introduced dozens of different clothing, shoes and hats.
However, the partner company does not charge advertising fees, but signs contracts with these brand companies. After the movie is released, you can buy it cheaply, buy some of the clothing, shoes, hats, jewelry and other things that appear in the movie, and then sell them in the shopping malls attached to the small partner cinema line.
Gimmicks, of course, sell the same clothing, shoes, hats, jewelry, and toys worn by the characters in the movie.
If this business model. After it can go well, the small partner company will focus on this "film business" model for a long time in the future. Sell some of the appealing consumer goods that have appeared in the movies.
Even, Wang Qinian also thought about it, in the future, all the stars under the partner company will be profiteers, use their own brand awareness, open stores on the Internet, hire a team of arresters, and sell all kinds of products in the name of stars. This model is far more cost-effective than celebrities going to endorse advertisements!
Instead of celebrities going to endorse advertisements, it is better for celebrities to have a team directly to help them sell products!
"Are you ready, you're going to get started!" Wang Qinian held the loudspeaker and said to the crew.
Maas (played by the article) drove a relatively cheap second-hand car parked in front of the hotel. In the lens, I grabbed a detail, the surrounding cars are all some BMW, Ferrari, Lamborghini and other luxury cars, but the article is driving a domestic Chery.
Of course, not all audiences know luxury cars, so in the shot, for comparison, luxury cars are cleaned and shiny. The Chery car is a pile of dust, which further looks very dirty and old.
When docking, the people around him looked surprised and sarcastic, which dramatically highlighted that Maas was not too happy.
Of course, this kind of unsatisfactory is a gap between many office workers and young people in big cities and some wealthy people. This kind of gap is obviously painful and inferior for many people.
If you are really poor to a certain extent, begging or simply farming in a mountain village, I am afraid you will not have such complicated emotions.
To put it simply, it is the petty bourgeoisie, which is more than the upper than the lower, and if you want to be motivated, you have no hope of getting motivated by going to work step by step, and your mentality will be so sensitive and uncomfortable.
Psychological purgatory!
This complex demeanor is perfectly performed in the article.
"Good!" Wang Qinian applauded, gave a thumbs up to the article and said, "Okay, it's over at one time!" ”
The article is a bit shy, but I am still happy to be praised by the director.
After the footage of the article passed, the artists Huang Haibo and Huang Shengyi in the company played the groom and bride of the wedding together. Although Huang Haibo's scene is purely a trick, he still agrees with it very much.
As for Huang Shengyi, he was even more happy, in the past, the dumb girl in "Kung Fu" was purely a vase, and there was not much room to play. But in this play, she plays the heroine Liu Yixin, but there is a lot of room to play.
The makeup artist made her beautiful makeup, and Huang Shengyi complained: "I don't know, when I get married, can I dress up so beautifully!" ”
"Yes, if there is a partner who wants to get married, when the company makeup artist and costume props. Free service for its artists! Wang Qinian said with a smile.
When Huang Shengyi heard this, her face turned red, and it seemed that she had only graduated this year. At the age of 22, she is still very early to talk about marriage. Still, it's a good show to play the bride. She is still relatively successful.
In the next shot, the article kept wandering through the crowd, turning back consciously or unconsciously, staring at Huang Shengyi.
Huang Shengyi, who was wearing a wedding dress, also saw the article, showing surprise, anger and all kinds of complicated expressions, but he quickly covered it up.
The two of them were not close, but only far apart. Quietly staring at each other.
"What's wrong?" Huang Haibo, who played the groom, held Huang Shengyi's hand, looked like a good man, and asked with concern.
"It's nothing, I saw my classmates in the school before!" Huang Shengyi shook his head and covered up the past.
"Mas is your classmate, right? It's time to toast! Huang Haibo took Huang Shengyi's hand with deep meaning and walked into the article.
The article was performed very well, and he reluctantly raised his wine glass. Clink glasses with the two!
Between the three, subtle emotions!
"Good. Call it a day! "It's already very tiring to deal with the media during the day, and it's not easy to shoot for more than three hours at night.
After the crew finished work, everyone began to relax, and the night was dark. Many people in the crew stayed in the hotel directly, because the little partner company chartered the hotel rooms.
The film budget of "Rebirth Back to Ten Years Ago", Wang Qinian is limited to a maximum cost of 15 million yuan. Of course. If he wants to make the movie a budget of 50 million, it's not impossible, but it's not necessary.
This movie mainly does not rely on the big scenes and special effects that burn money to attract the audience, but the novelty and sense of substitution of the plot to let the audience into the play.
Of course, the expenditure of 15 million yuan is not low. At present, many domestic film and television dramas cost millions of yuan in the mainstream. The budget of 15 million yuan is used for filming, which can waste a lot of film, and you don't have to be too picky on a lot of expenses. For example, the crew doesn't have to eat boxed lunches all day, and the company hires chefs from five-star hotels to cook with the crew, and they can enjoy a big meal every day. Moreover, the cost is not expensive, just in terms of ingredients, 100 yuan per person per day, which is already a big fish and a big meat, but the chef's expenses are additional.
Although the crew is not bad for money, the budget control is still relatively strict, the crew members' daily expenses are controlled within 200 yuan, and the star's daily accommodation expenses are not more than 500 yuan.
Such an expense, compared to ordinary families, is already excessive!
Whoever wants to play a big name, buy a bunch of luxury goods and expensive services, and want to find a crew to serve them, this is - impossible!
The small partner company is not coaxing and pampering the staff, but respecting each other. Some companies and crews spoil artists without knowing that the sky is high, and the follow-up cooperation will not be very smooth.
"Okay, good night everyone, and rest early after dinner. Work will continue tomorrow morning. Wang Qinian said, "As for the movie "Rebirth", the plan is to finish the part of the shooting in about 40 days, and then start post-production. Strive to meet the audience at the cinema during the summer vacation! ”
"So fast?" The crowd was amazed.
"It's not fast!" Wang Qinian said with a smile, "The fast gunners in Hong Kong make a movie a week, do you know?" ”
"That kind of film still has quality to speak of?" Everyone complained.
"Well, those kinds of movies are really bad movies." Wang Qinian said, "However, about 40 days is enough to make a good film!" Because, the most important environment of this movie is the script, as long as the script can be performed in place, it is a sincere work that needs to be new and innovative, and has quality and quality! ”
At that time, Hong Kong movies were full of bad movies, in addition to the relatively short filming time, the actors and behind-the-scenes actors of more important factors were rushing to the scene. In the morning, I made a movie for this director, and in the afternoon, I rushed to another crew to shoot for other directors. Therefore, everyone may be distracted by multiple movies and sincerity, and they have neither time nor sincerity, so they are naturally prone to bad movies.
And in the more than 40 days of "Rebirth", the staff and actors in the crew are all dedicated to working on this movie, and their time and brains are all occupied by this one thing, without half-heartedness, it will naturally not be too bad! (To be continued.) )
