Genius 3 seconds to remember the website of this site [pen maze pavilion] The holiday system implemented by American schools is not uniform, and Wu Tian's summer vacation is extraordinarily long, starting from late May to late August, more than three months! Poor Wu Tian didn't go to school for two days this time, so he was forced to take a vacation home......

The long summer vacation actually doesn't matter to Wu Tian, anyway, this guy hasn't had enough slap class hours since he entered school.

However, relatively speaking, students majoring in film and television are relatively relaxed in class, and Wu Tian has not even been to serious classes twice, so it is naturally even more relaxed.

"I propose that everyone take advantage of this holiday to shoot a short film by themselves, with no restrictions on the subject matter, and those with the best grades can directly get full marks for the whole year......" The professor of the professional course assigned summer vacation homework in class.

Poor Wu Tian coincidentally only took class once, and picked up such an assignment.

Wu Tian doesn't have much interest in being a director himself, but in order to directly get the year-end credits, he doesn't mind personally handling the saddling clothes, and he doesn't mind personally slapping the mat and making it difficult to play the trick and the miserable weapon and the crow and the director and the emperor and the director of the whole year and the director of the whole year and

"Ahem, I want to be a director!"

When Wu Tian brought the news home, everyone was shocked, and then they became excited again.

You must know that Wu Tian has always given everyone the impression that he seems to be an omnipotent monster, this time he shouted that he wants to be a director, so it must be regarded as a new thing, after all, when it comes to making money, Wu Tian has no one who can stand out, but being a director and having fun with art, how can anyone succeed?

"I decided to invest 50 million in you, and if it's not enough, continue to add more!" Shen Ling said with a smile.

"Sister Ling. You're too wealthy, so let's invest a little bit in our small company first......" Chen Lili couldn't help but shout, "Our company is not as rich as yours, it's good to invest five million......"

Lin Qiu'er smiled shyly, after all, if you want to be rich, for the time being, she can still compare with those two bosses......

"Stop, stop, this is not an auction." Wu Tiangang hurriedly shouted, "I haven't said how much money I plan to invest in this plan, you are so crazy about subscribing and investing?" ”

"We believe in you!" The women laughed.

"You can't believe me. Because I'm still a student, this time as a director, it's just a student work. The overall investment ......" Wu Tian paused for a long time, and then continued, "Ten thousand yuan is good!" ”

"Huh?"

"How much?"

"Did I hear me right?"

Several beauties all look unbelievable, how can 10,000 yuan make a movie? Even if it's just a student work, if you want to get the best results, you must have a lot of investment.

Wu Tian looked at several beauties and smiled. "Not bad." You heard it right, it's 10,000 dollars! All right. If you still want to invest in shares, you can invest a few thousand yuan each. I'm definitely not too little...... Hey, don't go......"

Wu Tian smiled bitterly and watched the three beauties walk away, and he had no choice but to say to Lin Qiu'er: "Qiu'er." It's just the two of us left......"

"I'm not with you either." Lin Qiu'er said with a smile.

"Uh, so what are you staying for?" Wu Tian said depressedly.

"I just want to see how disappointed you look, huh...... Okay, I'm going too......" Lin Qiu'er smiled and walked away in a hurry......

*************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** **********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

Can 10,000 dollars make a movie?

The answer is yes.

In Wu Tian's memory, if a small-budget movie has achieved excellent results, there is no doubt that "Ghost Shadow" will be the first to be recommended.

"Ghost Shadow", a small-budget film that only cost 15,000 US dollars and took only a week to make Zuò, finally swept nearly 200 million at the box office, which can be described as the best among small-budget films.

At this moment, there are still seven or eight years away from the filming and release time of the previous "Ghost Shadow", and with the current price, the purchasing power of $10,000 is much higher than the purchasing power of $15,000 in later generations, so Wu Tian is very sure that he can definitely shoot this movie with only $10,000!

"Qiu'er, will you be my assistant?" Wu Tian said in vain.

"No, you don't even pay your salary, so I'm not right." Lin Qiu'er laughed.

"Lily, will you be the heroine? This ...... of salary" Wu Tian aimed at Chen Lili again.

"No, I'm the most cowardly, don't look for me when you make horror movies." Chen Lili waved her hand and smiled.

"Sister Ling, really, if you invest 10,000 US dollars, you will share half of the income in the future......" Wu Tian shouted at Shen Ling again.

"I'm deeply skeptical about half of the proceeds of this movie......" Shen Ling smiled, "Even if you have your ability, it is estimated that you can recover the cost, and it will be good if you don't lose money, I won't participate in this kind of business!" ”

"Uh, you're still not friends, are you?" Wu Tian said aggrievedly, "Are you really ready for me to turn such a good idea of a low model into a big one?" Well, it's a big deal, I'll do it myself. Hum! ”

"Okay, when your movie is finished, we'll be the first to go to the cinema!" Several beauties laughed.

"Still laughing at me?" Wu Tian looked annoyed and angry, and shouted, "Do you really think that the movie I made can't be released? Hmph, do you dare to make a bet? ”

When Lin Qiu'er heard this, she was honestly silent, but Chen Lili clapped her hands ignorantly and said, "Okay, what are you betting on?" ”

"Don't bet with him," Shen Ling said with a smile. "Don't forget that he has three film and television companies in China, and he wants to open the back door to release it, aren't we fooled?"

"Don't open the back door. It's in the United States, it's released here, and I promise not to use any of my original relationships! Wu Tian said fiercely, "Do you dare to bet?" ”

Now Chen Lili is also a little undecided, Wu Tian is too confident. But at this moment, he has been forced to a dead end, and he can't get off the stage if he doesn't agree......

Thereupon. A bet is made - if Wu Tian's movie is released in the United States. And if they can earn back their investment, then the three beauties must meet Wu Tian's requirements. If Wu Tian can't do it, then Wu Tian owes everyone a condition......

Treacherous as the few in the sky. Naturally, I have already begun to think about what "reasonable" request should be made......

*************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** **********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

Poor Wu Tian has always been a conductor, but this time he made a movie because of the gambling contract, none of the three beauties was willing to help him as a secretary. I can't say that I can only go into battle in person.

But fortunately, after everyone's unanimous agreement, for the sake of Wu Tian's safety, Hao Yu was "favored" to be by Wu Tian's side at any time and act as an assistant for him.

"Tianshao, I think the one just now is good......"

In the exhibition hall of a furniture mall, Hao Yu said to Wu Tian.

At this moment, Wu Tian and Hao Yu are selecting actors for "Ghost Shadow".

In this place where the film industry is most developed, Hollywood attracts actor dreamers from all over the country and even the world, and countless people make a living here before they become stars, so Wu Tian has no shortage of willing to find cheap actors for his film with an investment of only 10,000 yuan.

However, if you want to recruit actors here, it is not that someone will come when you shout on the street, the film and television industry in the United States is developed, but it is not as chaotic as in China, in fact, a very important reason is that its actors' union has a good system.

Here, if you want to get more audition opportunities and be safeguarded, then you need to join an actors' guild that will recommend you audition opportunities according to your actual situation, as well as provide legal support in case of accidents and disputes related to the work, etc. If you have a little more talent, you can also use a professional agent to arrange a show for you - often those who recommend auditions professionally have more than one actor under them.

Wu Tian naturally didn't go to find an agent, it was too wasteful of energy, he couldn't just fill out the form in the actors' union, leaving what kind of actors he needed to choose, and even specific appearance characteristics such as skin color and hair color, as well as acting style, etc. Once you've set the criteria, the Screen Actors Guild will help you select candidates who meet the criteria in a huge database, and show you their information and photos for your initial selection. Then, after the initial selection, the union will call each other. Auditions are invited.

As for the location of the audition, you can choose it yourself.

The place Wu Tian chose was not those commonly used restaurants, gymnasiums and other places, but in the upstairs exhibition hall of this furniture store.

In order to use this place as an audition venue, Wu Tian tried his best to make a name for himself, and then he said that the audition here would bring him a legend and make his family's furniture store famous. And the risk of this free ad is nothing more than an extra batch of extras pouring into the store, maybe while they wait for the audition. Take a look at your furniture first, and then buy one and go back.

So, Wu Tianhao flickered. This audition was finally finalized.

"That one was so beautiful just now......" Wu Tian opened the next file and said.

"Can't you be too pretty?" Hao Yu scratched his head and said.

"Of course not, I'm looking for a very ordinary-looking family couple, and the whole movie is about their lives at home, which is a little unreal if it's too beautiful...... The next ......" Wu Tian said.

*************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** **********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

Casting an actor is a very tiring job. Especially the protagonist candidate. It's quite difficult to find an actor who is exactly what you want. If you don't get too much of a gratuity. If you can't attract experienced actors, you have to choose from newcomers or young actors who have only played supporting roles. That's even more difficult.

At this moment, Wu Tian belongs to this situation.

First of all, "Ghost Record" is actually very demanding for actors, in a ninety-minute movie. More than half of them are performed by the heroine alone, followed by the male protagonist's drama, and only one of the heroine's best friends appeared on camera as a supporting role for a few minutes.

The most important thing is that this is still a pseudo-documentary shooting, which requires the actors to behave very naturally in front of the camera, and not to reveal the traces of performance!

There is no doubt that the requirements for the heroine are quite high, and it is not impossible to find actresses who can do such acting skills, but those female stars Wu Tian can't afford to hire any of them.

Poor Wu Tiantong has a total budget of only 10,000 US dollars, and the planned remuneration of the actors is only no more than 5,000, and he has to divide it among three actors, which means that Wu Tian can only find potential people from the newcomers......

"Hello, I'm director Wu." Another actress approached, Wu Tian introduced herself in English, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, another person with beautiful photos, it is estimated that this is still in vain.

"I think you've got my request." Wu Tiandu didn't bother to explain his audition requirements, anyway, when those actors auditioned just now, they were all watching from the side.

"Yes, Wu, allow me to give it a try." The actress walked to the bed very generously, scratched her hair vigorously, and scratched her long brown and black hair into a mess, and then lay on the bed.

Wu Tian chose to audition here because the film is a pseudo-documentary about a young couple who decide to use a hidden night vision camera to capture all the incredible horrors after being plagued by supernatural phenomena in their home. There are many shots in the film that shoot the hero and heroine while they are sleeping.

In fact, sleeping is the most difficult to act - how to consciously perform the unconscious sleep state, this is a lot of acting skills.

The girl lay on the bed, and soon looked serene, and soon again as if in a dream, and her body writhed twice naturally, and then her lips squirmed twice like a dream...... The whole picture is full of natural feeling. There is no half-artificiality.

"Okay, you're doing a good job." Wu Tian smiled, glanced at the actor file in his hand, and said, "Miss Lucy." ”

"Thank you for the compliment." Lucy smiled happily, sat up from the bed, and said, "So is this character mine?" ”

"I can't decide yet, there are a lot of people waiting to audition below, and I'm going to pick the best one among you." Wu Tian said with a smile.

"Oh. I'm sorry, I'll go back and wait for the call. Lucy realized that she was a little too excited, and hurriedly changed her words.

Wu Tian smiled and nodded. Motioned to Lucy and stroked her hair again, Lucy's snow-white cheeks blushed again, and she was busy sorting out the hair that had been messed up by herself just now, the feeling of shyness made Wu Tian feel quite familiar, but he couldn't remember when he had seen her for a while......

*************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** **********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

"The couple was able to afford a home DV machine. Then their economic conditions are still good. That meant they couldn't live in a bad house, and certainly not in Beverly......"

Wu Tianshen babbled on the analysis of the characters and scene settings.

You know, there isn't a single outdoor shot in the whole movie. It's all done in an ordinary Mi Minju building. Wu Tian also has a property in the United States, but the problem is that Beverly is not suitable as a filming location - the purpose of this film is ordinary. Only if it is ordinary enough can it bring a stronger sense of substitution to the audience.

"Well, or I can lend you a house." Chen Lili said. "Oh, no, I'm renting you a house."

"Well, we don't have such calculations, do we?" Wu Tian smiled bitterly.

"We still have a bet." Chen Lili smiled, "But don't worry, I won't ask you for too high a rent, how about two thousand yuan a month?" ”

"Uh, two thousand?" Wu Tian exclaimed, as if the number was as big as twenty million.

"That's fair, it's the price of an ordinary house." Chen Lili said with a smile.

Wu Tian couldn't help gritting his teeth, the most expensive thing in the evil rice country is probably the rent, right?

"Okay, but I won't need a month, just a week, five hundred yuan." Wu Tian bargained.

Chen Lili asked Lin Qiu'er and Shen Ling for their opinions with her eyes, and then said embarrassedly: "Well, okay then......"

Wu Tian slapped him, then wrenched his fingers again, and said: "Now that there are actors, places, and actors, the DV lease period is half a month, don't worry...... OK, it's time to get started! ”

"Haha, let's look forward to Director Wu Da's masterpiece together......" The women laughed separately. (To be continued.) )
