Chapter Seventy-Two: Editing
Chapter 72 clip
After the first day of filming, when he returned to the hotel in the evening, Lin Mengchu lay on the bed and asked, "Xu Zheng is intentionally showing off his skills on the set today, right?" ”
"Yes."
"His acting skills are really good, but I can feel that he is very restless inside."
"Oh."
"The magic of money can really make people crazy!" Lin Mengchu sighed, and then said, "Okay, replace me on top." ”
The shoot was completed in just ten days, half the time it was supposed to take. After holding a shutdown ceremony, I invited all the crew and actors to eat and drink together, and the matter was more than half over. The next focus is on the announcement and release, which has nothing to do with Chen Cheng and Lin Mengchu.
At the banquet, Xu Zheng gave director Lin Mengchu a business card, and said very sincerely: "If there is a good script in the future, please be sure to contact me, even if the salary is a little less." ”
Xu Zheng, who is middle-aged and bald, is a very good actor, he usually likes to go to nightclubs, and he is not taboo, but in work and business, he is definitely conscientious. After hearing that Chen Cheng was the author of this script, he also sat next to Chen Cheng and Lin Mengchu and chatted about many interesting things in the entertainment industry.
He is the little prince of the nightclub, although he is bald, but his ability to hook up with girls is first-class. If it weren't for Lin Mengchu by his side, he would have to drag Chen Cheng to fool around with him. Of course, he didn't pull Lin Mengchu down, and said a lot of nice things with him. The entertainment industry, like other industries, is divided into several small circles. Xu Zheng's acting skills are not bad, but others generally don't take him to play, so now he has a very low posture and says a lot of interesting things in the industry.
After Xu Zheng was so drunk that his face was flushed and he followed the others back to the room, Lin Mengchu said thoughtfully: "Is he showing favor to us?" ”
"Well, didn't he say it, those people in the Beijing circle won't use him, of course he needs to break a path by himself. This phenomenon is very common in the entertainment industry, and there are many actors with good acting skills, because they have no resources, they can only waste time day after day. ”
"He is very ambitious and his acting skills are also very good, we can continue to look for him when we make our own movies in the future."
Chen Cheng smiled and said, "Participated in the filming of a movie, and now you are already sure?" ”
"I take notes every day! In the next step, we will make a small-budget comedy, and then ........ when it becomes famous. By the way, what kind of movie are we going to make? ”
"Whatever you like."
"Isn't there anything Chen wants to shoot?"
Chen Cheng thought for a moment and said: "I have a lot of things I want to shoot, but the investment is too big, it is estimated that I will lose one film, or forget it." The investment in making movies is too big, and no amount of money is enough to burn. Several giants in the film and television industry in the United States almost went out of business because of unsatisfactory box office. Our little money, you can spend it casually, it's still not enough to make a movie, especially that kind of blockbuster. ”
"Don't we have a lot of treasures? Why don't you take it out for money? ”
Chen Cheng shook his head and said, "It's okay to change some money, but not too much, and not too often, otherwise it will arouse the suspicion of others." ”
"You're just too cautious!" Lin Mengchu raised his head, looking forward to himself, "I want to see who dares to doubt!" ”
"That's a dangerous idea!"
When you have power, your mindset will naturally change, and that's normal. Not only power, but also money and power, there will also be such changes. With resources beyond ordinary people, whether it is power, money, prestige and power, their positions will change, and if they continue to develop, they will want to change the world.
On the contrary, people like Chen Cheng, who are satisfied with reading books every day, will be a minority of the minority. But maybe it's because he can show his ambitions in other worlds, so he seems to be very comfortable in this world.
At this time, it was already the middle of December, and the movie was filmed, but it had to be edited in the later stage, Lin Mengchu and Chen Cheng also joined in, and at the very beginning of the contract, it was stipulated that they had the final editing right. Chen Cheng had a complete film in his head, so after three days of learning and proficiency, it only took a week to edit the finished film.
Director Li was originally a little resentful, thinking that this was robbing him of his job. Editing power is a very important part of the director's power, and wherever there is power, there will inevitably be a variety of interest chains. It's the same in the film and television industry. was robbed of the editing right, and the interests in the open and in the dark were to be lost a lot.
But who called Lin Mengchu the relationship behind it hard? Even if Director Li is no longer angry, he can only endure it. When he watched the finished film edited by Chen Cheng and Lin Mengchu, he couldn't help but sigh that some people are really born stronger than others. The first editing, the technique can be so mature, it seems like being immersed in this industry for decades.
Lin Mengchu also felt very surprised, and once asked Chen Cheng how he did it during the fight, Chen Cheng said without changing his face: "The reason why I can achieve such an achievement is because I stand on the shoulders of giants." ”
After Ye Daoxiong watched the edited film in the company, he praised it and said: "This style is good, a light-hearted comedy, and it should be able to achieve good results in the Chinese New Year." ”
"Hey, uncle, didn't you say that it will be released after the Spring Festival?" Lin Mengchu asked, "Why did you change your mind?" ”
Ye Daoxiong said with a smile: "Isn't this the quality of watching the film very good?" It's approaching the New Year again, and it's just time to make arrangements. ”
Chen Cheng smiled and didn't say anything else. Lin Mengchu said honestly and unceremoniously: "I heard that the film originally prepared by your company for the Chinese New Year had an accident, and it hasn't been filmed yet, is there such a thing?" ”
Ye Daoxiong snorted and said, "There are about them, but the main thing is that your film is good, so it will be used to fill the vacancy, don't you say?" ”
"But in this way, the cost of publicity will increase greatly, right? The increase in expenses cannot be included in the cost, it belongs to your company! ”
"Well, why should it be so clear? I'm your uncle, isn't mine yours? Isn't yours mine? ”
Lin Mengchu snorted and said, "It's better to distinguish clearly, the old man is not the only daughter of me." ”
Ye Daoxiong shook his head and said, "Sister, they are twins, genetically speaking, my sister can also be regarded as your mother, you ......."
Lin Mengchu's face turned cold, her willow eyebrows rose up, and she pulled Chen Cheng and left the screening room. Ye Daoxiong, who was sitting in the chair, sighed, feeling that it was really ridiculous that these bloody family ethics dramas happened to him. But now, he couldn't laugh at all.
In a mature business society, there is a mature system for everything to do, and Shencheng Music Production Company soon launched an overwhelming publicity on the Internet, TV and various platforms. The name "Nightclub" makes people think of a lot of strange knowledge when they hear it, but the film released has nothing to do with nightclubs, and such a contrast has attracted some people's attention.
But it's just some attention, in this era, the Chinese New Year file is already a Chinese medicine schedule that needs bloody fighting, and all kinds of capital, all media, and various film and television companies are vigorously promoting their own New Year blockbusters. Yishui's big directors and big stars joined, and the production costs are often tens of millions of yuan, and the publicity is much stronger than a low-cost comedy movie like "Nightclub".
But Ye Ergongzi is very optimistic about this, anyway, his Shencheng Music Production Company's main business is not film and television, and there are some who often make some bad movies, and there are also people who trick people into the cinema. But the film "Nightclub" is only more than one million, even if the cost of publicity and distribution is added, it will not exceed five million, and even if you add some more, it will be less than eight million, and you can return the cost casually. Besides, the quality of the film is really good, there are a lot of laughs, as long as it can have a box office of 30 million, it will be a big profit.
In fact, after deducting the water in the publicity and distribution costs, you can make a lot of money with a box office of 10 million. No way, who called the shooting cost so low? Ye Ergongzi's propaganda strategy is also very simple, whoever is popular will touch the porcelain. often benchmarks this today, tomorrow against that, bought a lot of drafts and hot searches, and asked the heroine to press this today and that tomorrow, and by the way, make a wave of advertisements for "Nightclub".
Ye Daoxiong said before that there is nothing else in the entertainment industry, just relying on all kinds of praise and all kinds of advertisements. The subway, the elevator, everything that can be on is given, and people are confused. Of course, it can't be compared with those Chinese New Year blockbusters that are in the limelight. Because the cost is small, it is not as high-end and high-grade as others, it is a hard rubbing, whether it is relied on or not, it is a hard rub.
Anyway, in the entertainment industry, everything can be fried, scandals can be fried, and people are fried, and all of a sudden, the heroine of "Nightclub" is everywhere to suppress the news of female stars from all walks of life. Even Li Xiaolu's agent couldn't stand it anymore, so he had to call Shencheng Music Production Company, which would damage the heroine's popularity to euphemistically.
Ye Daoxiong disagreed, even black and red are better than obscurity in these years. Not only did he not relent, but he intensified the hype, and even pulled the actor Xu Zheng out and fried it violently. Of course, because he has a good personal relationship with a middle-aged bald man, he didn't say anything bad about him, but fried it with a positive image.
Xu Zheng does have a lot of advantages, his basic skills are very solid, and he has been praised by many old-timers in the drama theater.
Ye Ergongzi and Xu Bald smell like each other, and after filming "Nightclub", they went to nightclubs together and had a very good time, thus forming a deep friendship. The two often contact each other on the phone and make appointments to wander around. Anyway, Ye Ergongzi is rich, and he pays for it every time.
He also revealed to Xu Zheng that Chen Cheng had two more interesting scripts in his hands, and if he could make money this time, he would call him to film next time. The salary, double it first. Xu Bald said on the phone: "It's easy to say that money is not money, the main thing is that you have a temper with me, it's so pleasant to do things with you!" ”
