Chapter 966: Collaborative Filming
The most chaotic and poor thing about the family compound of the county troupe is the shelters and shacks built at random. The crew of "You Are All I Have" dare not touch them, otherwise their owners will fight hard with you. No matter how good Zhu Huijuan's relationship with her neighbors is, she can't move people's territory.
All the crew has to do is to help these people sort out the honeycomb coal, coal stoves, pickle jars, etc. that are stacked outside, and place them neatly. Li Qiulan is in charge of the art, and her environmental planning is like this, and the shot will be more life-like.
The open space that has not yet been occupied by people has been paved with lawns and planted in the moon. Ivy shelves are erected, and new varieties are picked out of nowhere. The neighbors are in a trance, it's July now, this kind of flower and vine can be planted alive? And they are all big and have already bloomed.
The county troupe is also a literary and artistic unit, and I still know a little about some film and television shooting knowledge. These neighbors discussed, obediently, the crew of "You Are My All" has spent a lot of money.
In fact, these are not worth mentioning to Li Qiulan at all, and they didn't cost anything. The place where the money spent on improving the environment is that it sponsored 20,000 yuan for the left-behind team of the troupe and 20,000 yuan for the neighborhood committee.
The laurel tree in the yard was covered with nails, a mess of wires and ropes, and there were some messy things under the tree, and they had to be compensated for cleaning them up.
The girls stayed in hotels. Boys casually hug the bed or bamboo bed, in the courtyard, on the sidewalk of the road outside, anyway, it's summer, and you can sleep wherever you like.
Zhu Huijuan also lived in a hotel with the girls, and Zhang Qiusheng went to talk to her every night. Zhang Qiusheng left, and when Zhu Huijuan fell asleep, Li Qiulan put what Zhang Qiusheng said to make a magic trick into her brain.
There are several dances in the play, which were originally choreographed by Li Qiulan. After teaching it several times, Zhu Huijuan was always unfamiliar with it. Li Qiulan said, go to sleep, just get up after sleeping. As a result, I slept and woke up.
In addition to the talent aspect. The film was intended to be sold abroad, so it was shot in English. Zhu Huijuan's English is not good, especially speaking. But within a few days, she was able to speak native American English. Zhu Huijuan thought to herself, maybe everyone has been communicating in English these days, and my spoken English has also passed the test subtly?
The movie called "You Are All I Have" has a very low scrap rate, and most of the shots are passed in one go. The reason is that Zhu Huijuan can deeply understand the director's intentions, and her performance is very good.
Another strange phenomenon made Zhu Huijuan puzzled. Her dog named "Baiyun" and her cat named "Mimi" are very obedient. The director told them to do whatever they wanted. So this drama was filmed very smoothly.
Very smooth not only saves time, but most importantly, the rejection rate is low. Film is very expensive, especially imported film. The low rate of film rejection means the low cost of filming.
The most troublesome thing is that there are three songs in the play. The song at the beginning of the film is very light-hearted and has a positive feeling, and this song Zhu Huijuan learns quickly.
There is a plot in the play, Zhu Huijuan's cat, Mimi, runs away from home. Zhu Huijuan looked around, there was heavy rain and lightning and thunder in the sky, and there was a song at this time. This song has very mixed feelings. On the one hand, it is necessary to sing Xiaojuan's anxious and sad mood. The feline, as the king of animals, must die with dignity even if it dies. So on the other hand, we must sing about the respect for life, the calmness of death, and the understanding of Mimi.
In the thunderbolt of the explosion, Xiaojuan let out a heart-rending cry: "Mimi-" accompanied by the thunderclap, the shout, and the music started. A powerful symphony orchestra accompanies the singing and performs a hymn to life.
This song is very difficult to sing. The most important of these is emotional handling. And human feelings cannot be replaced by magic tricks. This can only be done slowly, but fortunately, the song will be recorded in the studio in the later stage, and it will not affect the filming. Li Qiulan, Zhang Qiuran and Xia Xiaoxue now give Zhu Huijuan music lessons every day.
In fact, not only gave Zhu Huijuan music lessons, but also gave her physical training, performance training, dance training, etc. while filming. Zhu Huijuan's filming process is no less than going to drama school for several years. Some professional knowledge, Li Qiulan directly uses tricks to penetrate her brain, which is more reliable than the average old actor's memory.
The scene is in full swing, and Wu Yan is here. She wants to pull Zhang Qiusheng to attend the premiere of "Red Pond". "Red Pond" will finally be released nationwide next week. But the premiere was a bit troublesome, mainly because the people were not evenly matched. It is impossible for the male lead actors Yu Ancheng and Zhao Rufeng to come. They make movies just to play with tickets, the pictures are fresh, and they don't want to eat in the entertainment industry. I've filmed, played, and played, and I've long forgotten about it, so how can I go to the premiere of Rauschzi?
The director and Xia Qiong can take a little time. They were rushing to make another movie, and the time was very tight. So Wu Yan came to Zhang Qiusheng.
Zhang Qiusheng didn't have time. Even if he has time, he won't go if he's idle and bored to look at the street. When Wu Yan came, Zhang Qiusheng was filming, and he was having eight white weeks and Wu Zhengwang. Wu Yan didn't dare to scratch and stood quietly outside the door to watch the play.
This scene was filmed with Xiaojuan's mother in a wheelchair and pushed home by her father. Bai Yun diligently brought slippers to his father, and after his father changed his shoes, he brought the changed shoes to the shoe rack.
But Mimi jumped on her mother's lap and massaged her, and pressed her left leg and her right leg. Mom's calves are gone, and Mimi is massaging her mother's thighs.
Li Qiulan played the violin on the side. The sound of the piano is so warm, it makes people's hearts feel like a piece of honey is slowly melting and slowly melting, and the eyes of onlookers are full of tears, deeply understanding what happiness is.
A set of shots was taken. Artists and props prepare for the next scene, and actors and photographers take a break. The onlookers and neighbors talked about it, it is common for Mimi to massage her mother, how can she be so touched by the violin?
Wu Yan dispelled the idea of asking Zhang Qiusheng to attend the premiere, and said to Zhang Qiusheng, who was eating watermelon: "Hey, Zhang Qiusheng, let's hang this movie under my company's name." I don't participate in shares, I don't want profits, I just want to make a name for myself. ”
Li Qiulan, Zhang Qiuran, Zhang Qiusheng, Wu Zhen brothers and sisters, etc., must be popular in the movies. Wu Yan has absolute confidence in these people, and she really wants the Dadao Nature Company to follow behind.
I didn't apply for a license to shoot this film. Don't even think about future releases and releases. Zhang Qiusheng said: "I want to take this movie abroad. At home, the future must be uncertain, and there is no hope at all. ”
Okay, go to the United States in the name of my company. I'm in charge of contacting theaters. Wu Yan said: "I can't be wiped out in vain, I will do all this work." ”
Oh, that's fine. However, your job is to do so. Go to Hollywood and find a company to work with. The pre-production belongs to us, the post-production zuò and the copy belong to them, and the two sides are divided into fifty and fifty.
Wu Yan thought for a while and asked, "Do you lose money by doing this?" ”
Not a loss, and quite profitable. I spent less than a million yuan on this shoot. The United States does not say that the manufacturing equipment is advanced, but the cost of manufacturing is estimated to be less than 2 million US dollars. And what about copies? Of course, this does not include screenwriters, directors, and composers, which are also very valuable in the United States.
Wu Yan is very interested in this. Take this as an opportunity to enter Hollywood. The idea excited her and discussed the details with Zhang Qiusheng. At this time, Liu Ping came.
Liu Ping was angry. These shareholders of hers have not had a shareholder meeting for a long time. Originally, it was going to be opened during the winter vacation, but many people did not return to Qilin. A group of people led by Chairman Wu Yan returned to the capital, and a group of people led by Zhang Qiusheng stayed in Xishan every day to make movies.
Well, Wu Yan and these outsiders haven't been home for more than three years, which is understandable. Zhang Qiusheng, it is understandable to make a movie in a groundbreaking way. The summer vacation should be the beginning of the shareholders' meeting, right? Liu Ping still has a lot to report to the shareholders' meeting, and there are still many things that the shareholders' meeting wants to approve.
None of the shareholders returned to Qilin, and they went to make movies again. Zhang Qiusheng is addicted to making movies? It doesn't matter if you're addicted, you can't take the whole class away, even Jin Nianhua's class has been taken away.
In fact, the general meeting of shareholders has no requirements for the general manager, and Liu Ping is much more relaxed. However, the necessary procedures must be followed, and some matters must be discussed at the general meeting of shareholders. In addition, the board of directors has not been convened for a long time, and in the same way, the chairman has not been convened.
The bonuses that should have been paid at the end of last year have not yet been paid. Shareholders don't want dividends, bonuses must be paid, right? Although these shareholders are not short of money to spend, they still have to pay the money that should be paid.
Liu Ping originally planned to shout a few words to Wu Yan and Zhang Qiusheng when he came, you are too disagreeable, throw such a big stall to me. I'm tired and tired, you don't reach out to dust the sun. But as soon as he entered the door, he saw Zhang Qiusheng and Wu Yan discussing something seriously.
When did Zhang Qiusheng do things so seriously? Hurriedly stepped forward to inquire, what are you talking about?
Zhang Qiusheng has never had a sense of secrecy. In other words, except for cultivating truth, worldly things are not kept secret. So I told me that the movie I was making was going to be taken to the United States to find someone to work with.
Liu Ping immediately put aside the matter of the shareholders' meeting, and she wanted to intervene in the movie. Liu Ping, like Wu Yan, has absolute confidence in Zhang Qiusheng's gang. Unless the students in this class are not serious, if they do something seriously, they will definitely be able to do well.
Good Years Entertainment has been approved and currently has a license to shoot TV series. The next step is to get permission to shoot the film.
Now there is an opportunity to take a place in the film industry. Go abroad first, if it is a hit, it will be called flowers inside the wall and fragrant outside the wall. Then you can export to domestic sales, and there is a talent base like 21 Middle School that does not worry about not doing well.
Wu Yan looked at Liu Ping and said, "You, you don't have a film license." ”
Is it good to go abroad? Is it okay to just work with a Hollywood company? Is it good to just invest in movies? Does Hollywood pay attention to other countries' permissions? Liu Ping shouted: "Wu Yan, come here!" Are you still not the chairman of the board of directors of the good years? How can there be such a person who eats at home and pulls wild? ”
