Chapter 3 "Nightclub" starts filming

Qiao Renliang's salary is also 80,000, he is very interested in acting, and he and Gu Cancan both debuted from the Hunan TV talent show, so the asking price is not high.

Others, such as Yang Qing, Wang Dongfang, and Zhang Jiayi, are all paid 60,000 yuan, which is also the market price.

There are other actors and tricks who come to make cameo appearances, and in the end, the actor's salary is about more than 700,000 yuan.

It's so cheap, after the main actors were confirmed, Gu Cancan secretly calculated the salaries of these actors, and he couldn't help laughing.

This money is not even enough for the salary of a movie celebrity.

In addition to the salary, there are also rental cameras and the purchase of necessary props, etc., the movie has not yet started, and the money has been budgeted to spend one million, and sure enough, making a movie is a money-burning game.

The important actors have been confirmed, and Gu Cancan decided to direct it himself. Of course, there is a very serious problem now, she does not understand the knowledge of directing.

Su Luo Jiang Meiying felt that Gu Cancan was really inflated, Gu Cancan wanted to make a movie, although it was a bit incredible, but Su Luo read the script and knew that it was a good story, but what the hell do you want to be your own director?

I'm afraid that Gu Cancan doesn't know anything about making movies at all.

Su Luo persuaded Gu Cancan to find a professional director to shoot, but after Gu Cancan thought about it seriously, he refused.

Gu Cancan really doesn't know how to make movies, but she has a finished film in her mind to refer to.

Now that he had boarded Gu Cancan's thief ship, Su Luo finally chose to believe in Gu Cancan. All the stories of this "Nightclub" take place in a supermarket, and the supermarket must have goods, and Su Luo thought of advertising placement.

Movie advertising placement is nothing new, Feng Xiaogang filmed "A Sigh", "Mobile Phone" and so on have implanted advertisements in movies.

The Motorola logo in "Mobile Phone" appeared once in a few minutes, which was simply heartbreaking.

Gu Cancan's plan to shoot this "Nightclub" took into account advertising placement, after all, advertising placement in this movie is really too deserved, which supermarket is not full of goods? From this point of view, it is too easy to implant ads, and it will not affect the audience's viewing experience without drama.

As soon as the two met, they quickly reached a consensus that any product that might appear in the supermarket was a potential advertiser......

Although this movie is a small production, the starring Xu Zheng, Gu Cancan, and Qiao Renliang are all quite famous, with many fans, and it is estimated that advertisers are also willing to implant advertisements in the movie.

In order to make the movie better, Gu Cancan decided to find an excellent director teacher to learn and learn, anyway, it was filmed after the Chinese New Year, and it happened that there were still twenty days before the New Year, so she asked an excellent teacher to give her a surprise make-up class.

Gu Cancan has no channels in this regard, but there is Hu Xiwen, go to Hu Xiwen for help.

"Canchan, you want to make a movie?" Hu Xiwen grew his mouth in surprise, and he could put an egg in his mouth.

"Yes. This is the script, Sister Xiwen will give me some guidance? ”

Since she asked Hu Xiwen to help introduce the teacher, Gu Cancan told Hu Xiwen very frankly about her desire to make a movie.

After reading the script, Hu Xiwen's expression was more complicated. She who is a director can naturally see that this is a very good script, and when she sees the screenwriter signing Gu Cancan, she can't believe that it is from Gu Cancan's hand.

"It's very good, the script is very mature, there is a story and laughter." Hu Xiwen's eyes were full of amazement, admiration, and a little jealousy.

Gu Cancan's talent was really beyond her expectations

I heard that I still want to learn directing, and I actually want to direct and act in this movie, Hu Xiwen kindly persuaded: "Cancan, you haven't systematically learned how to direct a movie, and now you have to direct and act yourself, I'm afraid you can't control it." I suggest you find a professional director to shoot it. ”

Hu Xiwen also dissuaded Gu Cancan from directing and acting by himself, but Gu Cancan was confident and insisted on his own ideas.

couldn't resist Gu Cancan, and finally Hu Xiwen helped to lead the needle and introduced one of her teachers to Gu Cancan, named Liu Wei, who stayed in school to teach after graduating from the Chinese Opera Directing Department in 1987, and was a senior director professor.

After talking about the teacher, Gu Cancan was very happy and pulled Hu Xiwen to eat together.

During the dinner, Gu Cancan asked about Hu Xiwen's film shooting, and learned that Hu Xiwen's film had also been filmed and had not yet started editing.

Hu Xiwen is not the kind of person who is particularly desperate like Ning Hao, her work is carried out very leisurely, anyway, with her family background, as long as the work is completed and it is not stepping on the line, it will definitely be released smoothly.

"By the way, Cancan, you promised to write a song for my movie before, don't break your word." Hu Xiwen began to collect debts.

"No problem." Gu Cancan agreed: "Wait for your movie to be edited, I'll take a look at the film." ”

……

After studying with the teacher for more than half a month, Gu Cancan really learned a lot of things, and he had an intuitive understanding of the work of a director and a lot of insights.

Fortunately, I studied with a teacher for a period of time, and I made up for the director's knowledge, otherwise she would have rashly made a movie, and maybe a good subject matter would have been made into garbage by her.

As a public figure, Gu Cancan frequently ran to the Chinese opera school and was photographed by reporters.

"Gu Cancan, may I ask why you have been coming to Chinese opera every day recently?" The reporter stopped Gu Cancan and asked politely.

In the entertainment industry, you must also maintain a certain degree of exposure, Gu Cancan

The other party was very polite, and Gu Cancan was more cooperative: "That's the case, I feel that I have deficiencies in many places, come to learn the Chinese opera system." ”

"But aren't you supposed to go to high school?" The reporter was very surprised, and he didn't understand the meaning of Gu Cancan's words for a while.

Gu Cancan replied with a smile: "I have now set foot in the entertainment industry, and my interest is here, and the industry I plan to engage in in the future is acting and directing. ”

Since the reporter came, Gu Cancan took the opportunity to publicize it.

The reporter continued to ask: "Which company have you signed with now?" What type of movie is it, why did you come to Chinese opera, and do you plan to apply for Chinese opera in the future? ”

Questions were answered one by one. Our company is called Bright Times, and it is an entertainment media company invested and established by my father. As for what will be filmed, it will be a comedy. In the future, I will definitely apply for art schools, and as for whichever school wants me, I will go to whichever school wants me. In the end, Gu Cancan made a little joke.

has already exploded a lot of information, the reporter is very satisfied, and wants to continue to ask questions to Gu Cancan, Gu Cancan hurriedly and politely terminated the interview.

This simple interview was reported on the Internet, and it was not shocking, and only Gu Cancan's fans paid attention.

"Have you read the report, the young lady's family set up an entertainment media company, it's really rich and capricious, and the father wants to support his daughter."

"To be honest, I think the young lady should go to school seriously, she is now singing and filming, too impetuous."

"Oh, don't worry about it, the young lady must have a plan in her heart."

"Look at the name, the bright era, at first glance, it is based on the name of the young lady, and the father-in-law really dotes on the young lady."

"Phew, shameless upstairs."

"Shameless +1."

The building quickly turned crooked.

……

Jibei TV invited Gu Cancan to participate in the New Year's Eve party, Gu Cancan wanted to reunite with his family, but refused, but took the initiative to invite Ying to participate in the Lantern Festival party.

The TV station in my hometown still has to have a good relationship.

To participate in a party, you have to rehearse many times, which is one of the reasons why Gu Cancan doesn't want to participate.

After participating in the Lantern Festival party in Hebei Beitai, Gu Cancan came to the capital non-stop, and the holidays after the year have passed, and "Nightclub" officially began filming.

In other words, Su Luo's ability is indeed outstanding, although "Nightclub" is only a small production movie, she actually successfully negotiated a total of 5 million product placement ads!

It can be said that all the products that appear in the entire supermarket are product placements......

Xu Zheng, Gu Cancan, and Qiao Renliang still have a certain appeal.

The one who gave the most money was Pepsi, sponsoring half a million.

The least is Wahaha mineral water, and the regional distributors only agree to sponsor six thousand yuan.

500,000 is not too much, thousands is not too little, from drinks to snacks, to chewing gum, and even the TV hanging in the air, Su Luo has won sponsorship.

No matter what product has competitors, if you don't advertise it, competitors will naturally be willing to do it.

It can be said that Gu Cancan has not started making this movie yet, and he has already made a profit.

On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, Gu Cancan, the leading actors and the staff gathered at the door of the supermarket, most of them came, Huang Bo had other things to do, and he had not yet joined the group.

Those who can work hard, Su Luo manages the affairs of the crew when the company has nothing else to do, and manages the crew in an orderly manner.

There is still a bit of a shortage of manpower.

The supermarket is arranged according to Gu Cancan's requirements, and the space in the venue is very large, which is very convenient for shooting.

In recent years, there have been a lot of directors, actors and crews in Xiangjiang who have gone north, bringing a kind of atmosphere of worshipping God before the crew starts filming.

However, Gu Cancan didn't do that, just everyone simply got together to take a group photo, and then set off electronic firecrackers, which was officially turned on.

Naturally, entertainment reporters from the capital were also invited to hold a simple press conference.

The box office of a movie, in addition to the quality of the movie itself, also accounts for a considerable proportion of the publicity and distribution, Gu Cancan knew that many excellent movies hit the street because of poor publicity, and there are also many bad movies that have a high box office because of their successful publicity.

Gu Cancan's interest in making movies is one thing, making money is another, and he is not shooting literary films, of course, he has to pursue the box office, so from the beginning of shooting, he deliberately began to publicize.

"May I ask Gu Cancan, who is the director of this movie?"

Gu Cancan smiled: "This play is directed and acted by myself." ”

"Wow, it's really Gu Cancan's self-directed and self-acting."

Several reporters couldn't help but whisper a few words to each other.

"Gu Cancan, to put it mildly, why do you want to direct and act yourself, do you think you have the ability to direct movies?"

Another reporter asked very politely.

Gu Cancan was in a good state of mind, and he was not angry, and said with a smile: "I wrote the script of this movie, and the scene is relatively simple. Before filming, I studied directing courses with a professor from the Chinese opera directing department for a period of time, how to shoot and how to direct, and I had a systematic understanding. I am confident that I will direct this movie well. ”

Next, the reporter asked a few sharp questions, all of which were answered sincerely by Gu Cancan.

After receiving satisfactory answers, the reporter began to ask questions of other people.

"Teacher Xu Zheng, why did you agree to appear in this movie?"

Xu Zheng replied seriously: "I was mainly moved by the script. The script written by Chanchan is very good, and after reading the script, I can't bear to miss this role. The role I played was also very challenging for me. ”

"But Gu Cancan has never directed experience, she is here to direct, Mr. Xu Zheng, what do you think?"

Xu Zheng hesitated for a moment and said: "I communicated with Cancan before, and I also had doubts about her being a director herself, but after communicating with Cancan, I found that Cancan is also very talented in directing, and her idea of shooting makes me feel very amazing, and I believe she can direct this movie well." ”

Another reporter focused on Qiao Renliang.

"Qiao Renliang, as we all know, you are a singer, why did you participate in the filming of this movie?"

Qiao Renliang's personality is actually a bit introverted, he thought about it and said slowly: "Singing is my career, but I am also very interested in filming." Cancan found me, and I wanted to act, so I came. ”

After a simple shooting, the crew cleared the scene and the filming officially began.

The supermarket is arranged according to Gu Cancan's requirements, and the partitions and single rooms are basically exactly the same as the "Nightclub" in her memory.

The first thing to shoot was Xu Zheng's scene, he entered the door to collect debts, but the boss lady was not there, so he could only buy cigarettes angrily.

Xu Zheng really loves acting, and when Gu Cancan proposed to let him have a bald hairstyle, Xu Zheng shaved his head and grew a beard without saying a word.

deliberately wore a brown thick sweater and a khaki coat, and now his image is that of a down-and-out middle-aged man in his forties, vivid.

Gu Cancan Gu Cancan was wearing a pale green standard overalls, his face was only one layer of foundation, no powder, a single ponytail, and a totole's apron and sleeves were tied on his body, standing at the cash register.

Totole is also a sponsor......

Zhou Jiankui is the executive director, Gu Cancan is filming, and after explaining everything to him, Gu Cancan will act and he will direct. He is an undergraduate student of Beijing Film and a regular professional director, although it is the first time he has really directed a movie, but his performance is remarkable.

He Sanshui, played by Xu Zheng, pushed open the door and walked into the supermarket, and the wind chimes hanging on the supermarket door rang.

"Welcome...... To. ”

Gu Cancan's hungry Tang Xiaolian's enthusiastic tone began, but when she saw that it was He Sanshui, the word "welcome" immediately became weak, and she didn't even bother to look at He Sanshui, and her hands were busy wiping the goods on the bar.

"Where's your hostess?"

"Not there."

"Is he coming back tonight?"

"I don't know."

He Sanshui walked towards the door with a gloomy expression.
