When you sit in the cinema leisurely watching a movie while drinking drinks and eating popcorn, you must not have imagined that a movie that is only more than 90 minutes and less than two hours old can be so troublesome to shoot.

Fortunately, Lin Xiaozhi, who took his first work very seriously after his rebirth, invited Qian Jiale, Sun Xing, Yuan Jieying and other leading actors who have starred in TV series and movies, although the plot of "Color is Empty" is complicated, Ye Weixin has already filmed most of the scenes, and the rest is not difficult to film, and the main scenes are all responsible for several leading actors, only Ge Minhui is a pure newcomer. However, this pure newcomer is not simple, although he has been a radio D ∫ for many years, although he has no acting skills, he has a good foundation and is not stage frightened, the old man leads the newcomer, which is very good, but it can save him a lot of heart as a director.

No matter how rich the theoretical knowledge in his previous life was, Lin Xiaozhi was technically the first time to take charge of the guide, and in his previous life, he encountered an accident shortly after the filming of one of his works, and he didn't have much experience at all. Now that I am back in charge of the guide tube, I realize that there are many things that I can't learn just by looking at them, and I haven't made mistakes, I haven't suffered losses, and I can't transform them into my own experience. For example, when I was in charge of the director of "Color is Empty", there were several times when some actors in the crew made repeated mistakes, and after many reshoots, they became worse and worse, and it was obvious that there was something wrong with their emotions. However, it took him a lot of time to find out under the awakening of photographer Chen Daxiong, and gave psychological counseling to several young extras, and finally after a day of delay, the filming of the crew was back on track.

These valuable experiences can help him to deal with some emergencies on the set in the future, or to arouse the emotions of actors, etc. Lin Xiaozhi knew that although he had extraordinary knowledge in two lives, he was only a semi-newcomer on the road of directing after all, and after re-realizing his shortcomings and correcting his mentality, he also held a learning mentality, learning and doing at the same time.

“…… When her birthday came, I heard that she liked the ring very much, and although it was very expensive and I suffered a lot of losses, I still bought it and prepared to give it to her on her birthday as a birthday present...... I thought she would be happy, but she slapped me in the face......"

In the shot, Qian Jiale, who was already drunk, was full of alcohol, and sat in a street food stall with the second-class senior played by Ge Minhui, drinking stuffy wine.

"Senior, do you think we can still do it?"

At this moment, the expression on Ge Minhui's face changes very frequently, Lin Xiaozhi couldn't help but smile, it is really rare for him to meet several comedians in this play, Sun Xing, Ge Minhui, Qian Jiale and that Lin Haifeng, they are all very good comedians, just looking at his expression there makes people want to laugh.

"Listen ......"

Ge Minhui looked at him seriously, and suddenly the expression on his face changed, and his eyebrows and eyes were extremely exaggerated: "She 'snapped, gave you a slap, don't you understand?" ”

Lin Xiaozhi nodded with satisfaction, this Ge Minhui has a talent for acting in comedy, his expression is smart and exaggerated, although he has a heavy shadow of imitating program (Cheng Long) comedy, it is also a good way.

"I don't know what to do"

"As the saying goes, beating is kissing, scolding is love, if you don't open your dead head, how can you catch up with a woman."

"OK, pass...... Well done guys, that's all for today's shoot."

This scene between Ge Minhui and Qian Jiale is not difficult to film, and the two leading actors are very simple to pass with their hearts. Lin Xiaozhi looked at the time, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening. Considering that since he took over the crew in recent days, he has worked overtime for filming, although no one in the crew has complained for the time being, there must be some resentment in private. Yu Crisp directly announced that today's filming was over and disbanded the crew.

Lin Xiaozhi's directing of "Color is Empty" is a whim of the nature of playing tickets, or is he really capable of taking charge of the director, he spent a week proving that he is the second type.

has been polished in the circle for more than ten years, although Lin Xiaozhi has no experience in charge of the director's barrel once, but he has participated in the filming of TV series and movies as an assistant director and other crews. stayed with the crew for two months, and he also stole a lot of things from Ye Weixin, as he thought before, after Ye Weixin couldn't take charge of the director, he was the most suitable director to take over.

There was no discomfort between the new director and the crew, and after more than a week of running-in, Lin Xiaozhi has fully adapted to the filming rhythm of the movie, and he has also begun to speed up the filming process. With the filming speed of the past two days, less than 30% of the scenes left will definitely end in half a month.

However, this year's Chinese New Year file will be released, and "Color is Empty" is estimated to be unable to catch up. The movie started in the middle of ll, and the two rookie directors invariably slowed down the shooting speed for the sake of quality, resulting in more than three months of pre-filming of the movie. There are many highlights in the film, and the post-editing work is the most important, so he decided to leave a little more time to complete all the post-production work, including editing, post-dubbing, and hiring a master to complete several important soundtracks for the film. With such a calculation, even if the movie is completed immediately, it will not be released at all in less than a month.

He probably won't be able to catch up with this year's Lunar New Year

Enjoying Ye Yuqing's massage, Lin Xiaozhi's eyes were fascinated comfortably.

Recently, he hasn't been home for many nights in a row, and he almost regards Ye Yuqing's place as his second residence. First, because it is not far from the City Institute of Technology, many of their recent scenes have been filmed in the Institute of Technology, in order not to affect the classes of students who have not yet had a holiday, and at the same time, in order to catch up with the progress, their morning filming time has been much earlier. Of course, the most important reason is that Lin Xiaozhi, who eats marrow and knows the taste, has been too comfortable to be served by Ye Yuqing recently, but he is looking for an excuse to come here more diligently than to go home.

This woman not only figured out his taste, but also made a table of delicious food every day, which made him reluctant to give up. I also learned the skills of one-handed massage to relieve fatigue, I have been in the crew for so long every day, I come over at the end of work and take a hot shower comfortably, and then a beautiful girl will pinch and knead for you, just thinking about Lin Xiaozhi's heart is crispy. Even Kobayashi Takachi has been served very comfortably recently, and although the days of singing this night are tiring, there are a few men who don't like it.

As for Ye Yuqing's recent efforts to be so diligent, Lin Xiaozhi knows in her heart, as before, she is ambitious and wants to change to a bigger contract.

It's been three weeks since the release of "Can't Help It", and this movie has received a lot of amazement and attention from the media since its release. As a tertiary film, although it was not the first batch to be released, it left "Black Sun" behind with a box office of 14.67 million in three weeks after its release. Today's "Can't Help It" not only temporarily took over the praise of the 'highest-grossing tertiary film' from its hands, but also refreshed the highest box office of Hong Kong erotic films, becoming a veritable highest-grossing erotic film.

Now no one doubts that the box office of "Can't Help It" can exceed 1,500, although New Asia has received a notice from Debao that Debao Cinemas will completely paint this movie with an average attendance rate of only three or four percent after the end of the screening on the L day, but there is still almost a week of release time, and at least two or three million more revenue can contribute to its box office.

The box office dark horse second only to "Overlord Flower" in 19dR is a new praise for "Can't Help It" in the Hong Kong film industry. Although the reputation of tertiary films is not very good, no one will have trouble with money. The investment of three or four million Hong Kong dollars has earned nearly 15 million at the box office in Hong Kong alone, and the videotape market conservatively estimates that at least 50,000 copies can be sold in Hong Kong. Let's not mention the income from overseas distribution, this film in Hong Kong alone can bring nearly 10 million net income to its investors, which has made countless eyes red.

“…… Dong Li, you have also seen the box office revenue of this movie invested by our New Asia......" Lin Xiaozhi was a little thirsty, and motioned to Ye Yuqing to pour him a glass of water. The woman's mouth pursed slightly, but there was no displeasure on her face, she just gently pinched his shoulder, got up and twisted the waist of the graceful water snake, and went to pour water for him.

This is the second phone call between Lin Xiaozhi and Li Guoxing in the past two weeks. Businessmen are very profitable, don't look at the last time the chairman of Meiya hung up his phone angrily because he shouted out the sky-high price of more than 10 million. But after the box office of "Can't Help It" came out in the second week, Li Guoxing threw away all the previous unhappiness and took the initiative to call him again.

“…… Lin Sheng, I don't deny that your films are very good, but not every film can be successfully released overseas, and we are also facing a big risk. The price you Xinya offered is 11 million, which is too high......"

Lin Xiaozhi grinned, he wanted to laugh but didn't laugh, "Dong Li, this price is really not high." That's good, let's make a friend, or the previous price, UU00,000, we will hand over all the overseas distribution rights to you Meiya. Finally, the tape was published, and we at New Asia did it ourselves. So far, we have received inquiries from 47l video parlors and video cassette shops, and it is conservatively estimated that our video tapes can sell at least U million copies in Hong Kong alone......"

In 89, the Hong Kong video tape market was booming, and many overseas distributors relied on buying out the distribution rights of video tapes to increase their profits, and there was no shortage of blockbuster film and video cassettes that did not sell well in theaters. Meiya started its own distribution, and has a dense videotape distribution network throughout Southeast Asia, which can bring more than 100 million gross profits to Meiya every year by relying on videotapes alone. As soon as he heard that Lin Xiaozhi was unwilling to sell the distribution rights of the videotapes, Li Guoxing was immediately unhappy.

“…… Lin Sheng, with all due respect, the release of video tapes is not as good as theatrical release, and you Xinya do not have your own distribution network......"

"Li Dong, we don't have ATV" He unceremoniously interrupted Li Guoxing's words, and there was silence on the phone for a long time. Indeed, as one of the two major free-to-air TV stations in Hong Kong, although ATV can only eat meat behind TVB, now TVB has a market value of 10 billion after being listed, while ATV, which has a market share of only a fraction of TVB, is underestimated to less than 1 billion Hong Kong dollars, but it is far more powerful than Meiya. Although the distribution of video tapes is not ATV's main business, it does have its own channels in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

After a long time, he finally spoke, obviously unwilling to give up this Hong Kong box office dark horse, "10 million to buy out your film's overseas trailer and videotape distribution... We will pay half of the down payment first, and the remaining half will have to wait until two months to pay off......"

Lin Xiaozhi was happy in his heart, the price of 10 million was his bottom line. He pondered for a moment before nodding and agreeing to the price, but also put forward his own requirements: "We Xinya and you Meiya were very happy to cooperate last time, and I still have the same sentence, 'If you have money, everyone earns, 10 million is 10 million...... However, we want a down payment of 7 million Hong Kong dollars, and the rest is deferred to two months later, which is acceptable to New Asia......"

“…… Sold ......"

In a word, Lin Xiaozhi's second cooperation with Meiya was reached.
