Chapter 4 The Gambling Saint ([Self Killer] Plus Update)
"Mr. Zuo!" Yin Tianqiu jumped down from the stage, quickly stepped forward and stretched out his hand: "Mr. Zuo, when did you come back?" ”
"Just came back." Zuo Xiaoyou stood up, shook hands with Yin Tianqiu, and turned his head to look at Liu Piaopiao, eighteen-year-old Cecilia! Although the appearance is not very amazing, that youthful atmosphere is enough to kill many men in seconds.
"I've only been gone for a few months, so I'm going to have a girlfriend so soon?" Zuo Xiaoyou teased.
Yin Tianqiu looked shy, and said: "Love is coming, and it is always unstoppable." Chong Liu Piaopiao beckoned: "Piaopiao, come and introduce you to someone." ”
"Who is it?" Liu Piaopiao noticed Zuo Xiaoyou just now, the tall and handsome appearance, outstanding temperament, and exquisite dress, all made Liu Piaopiao feel inferior, fortunately, Yin Tianqiu seemed to be his friend, since he was a friend, there was not much to be nervous about.
"This is Mr. Zuo Xiao, Mr. Zuo, who is the mentor who gave me dreams and guided me." Yin Tianqiu introduced the two to each other: "Mr. Zuo, this is my girlfriend Liu Piaopiao, we are sure that the relationship is not very long, but I will not marry her in my life." ”
From this sentence, it can be seen how much Yin Tianqiu loves Liu Piaopiao, and at the same time, from Liu Piaopiao's gentle watery eyes, you can also see how moved Liu Piaopiao is.
For a woman who came out to sell, it is not easy to find a man who loves her, and it is even more difficult to find a man who loves her deeply like Yin Tianqiu.
Zuo Xiaoyou can only say: "Bless you, when will you get married?" ”
Hearing the word 'marriage', Yin Tianqiu smiled bitterly: "I have nothing now, what can I marry Piaopiao." So I want to make a career first, at least make a movie with a role, and I can make money to support my family......"
"I don't care!" Liu Piaopiao interrupted him: "I just need to be with you, it doesn't matter if the wedding is not married, it doesn't matter if you don't marry me, just let me be with you." ”
"Yo?" Zuo Xiaoyou laughed: "Mr. Yin." I didn't expect you to be single for so many years, and you just handed over the peach blossom luck to such a superb, amazing. ”
"Mr. Zuo, don't laugh at me." Yin Tianqiu smiled bitterly, but Liu Piaopiao's words moved him to cry, holding Liu Piaopiao's hand: "I will definitely be good to you in this life." ”
"It doesn't matter if you're good to me or not, anyway, you said you would support me for the rest of my life, and you weren't allowed to drive me away." Liu Piaopiao is worthy of being a woman who has sat on the stage, although she longs for a love in her heart, but when facing reality, she still has a very rational side. And prepared for the worst. Maybe this is her inferiority complex from the bottom of her heart! What more could a woman who had sold ask for?
"No, it won't." Yin Tianqiu made a guarantee, perhaps to make Liu Piaopiao feel more at ease, Yin Tianqiu added: "Absolutely not!" ”
"That's pretty much it." Liu Piaopiao smiled and stretched out his hand to Zuo Xiaoyou: "Hello Mr. Zuo." ”
"Hello." shook hands with Liu Piaopiao, and asked left and right: "Are you rehearsing a drama?" ”
"yes!" Liu Piaopiao said: "Originally, Tianqiu was going to play the leading role of a movie not long ago, but in the end he was replaced, which is really infuriating." ”
"You can't say that, sister-in-law." The inarticulate little bastard said: "Brother Tianqiu was also replaced for the sake of his sister-in-law, otherwise Brother Tianqiu would be a big star now." ”
"Hey. What nonsense! Yin Tianqiu kicked him over: "The matter of making a movie has nothing to do with Piao Piao, it is my own lack of ability that the other party will replace me." ”
Liu Piaopiao didn't say anything, she had experienced this firsthand. knew that if it weren't for herself, Du Juaner would not have been able to replace Yin Tianqiu, if she hadn't been replaced, maybe Yin Tianqiu would have entered the film industry. Become a big star.
That's why Liu Piaopiao followed Yin Tianqiu regardless of his name, Yin Tianqiu sacrificed too much for her, even a lifetime of prospects.
Liu Piaopiao looked at Yin Tianqiu: You have sacrificed your life for me. I'll pay you back with the rest of my life.
"It's okay to swap it out." Zuo Xiaoyou patted Yin Tianqiu on the shoulder: "Mr. Yin, do you want to be the leading actor in my new film?" ”
"Huh!?"
……
The next day, Yin Tianqiu signed the contract issued by Golden Harvest Company, with a salary of 100,000 yuan, plus the script of the actor.
And the name of the movie is - "The Saint of Gambling".
This is a very simple film, and it is a follow-up work, and most importantly, the production cost is only two million.
The actor's salary is the highest is Yin Tianqiu's 100,000 yuan, and the other is the undercover uncle of the male supporting role, 50,000 yuan.
Since eliminating a criminal gang with Yin Tianqiu, the relationship between the undercover Uncle Da and Yin Tianqiu has become close, and because Uncle Da was shot twice, according to the injury report, he is no longer suitable for the role of an undercover agent, let alone a policeman, so Uncle Da got a settling-in allowance and went through the retirement procedures, so he bid farewell to Jingjie and concentrated on being an uncle who sent box lunches to the crew.
Uncle Da didn't expect that he would get the opportunity to star in the movie, and later Zuo Xiaoyou told him that Yin Tianqiu recommended him, because Yin Tianqiu said that Uncle Da's acting skills were very good, and Zuo Xiaoyou felt that his image was very suitable for the third uncle in the movie, so he invited him to make a movie. Although 50,000 yuan is not much, for an uncle who sends a boxed lunch, what more bicycle do you need?
In addition to the heroine...... Rest assured, it's not Liu Piaopiao. Liu Piaopiao's acting skills are too bad, and she has done ********, which is an absolutely intolerable stain for a star. If a chicken can become a big star, it's too unfair for actresses who focus on acting.
In the end, Zuo Xiaoyou found two actresses in the mainland, one is Cai Ming and the other is Da Meiyuan.
Cai Ming played the role of Wu Junru in the original version, and Da Meiyuan naturally replaced Zhang Min's role.
As for the remaining characters, they are all old drama bones who are looking for powerful factions, but they are not worth much, so the crew will pull up.
Zuo Xiaoyou personally plays the role of director and producer, and strives to make a better nonsensical movie than the original book.
There is a blind spot in the movie "The Saint of Gambling", that is, Zhou Axing was originally going to leave Xiangjiang and return to the mainland, but there was no explanation in the movie, so Zhou Axing came back, and he also changed his clothes and made milk.
When Zuo Xiaoyou first watched this movie, he felt that there was a missing link here. I don't know if the funds don't allow it, so I didn't shoot? Or did you feel inappropriate after filming and cut it out?
In short, this kind of bug is absolutely not allowed.
In other aspects, the left and the right have also been appropriately revised according to the background of the times. For example, Zhou Axing's identity.
When "The Saint of Gambling" was filmed in 1990, Xiangjiang had not yet returned, so Zhou Axing's identity was a 'mainland boy' who came to Xiangjiang to seek refuge with relatives, highlighting the rustic spirit of mainlanders. But now it is 1999, and Hong Kong has returned for two years, highlighting the rustic atmosphere of the mainland. That is to find death, so Zuo Xiaoyou modified Zhou Axing's identity slightly, although he was still from the mainland, but he was an orphan whose parents died and had to come to Xiangjiang to seek refuge with relatives.
As for the special function of the clairvoyant eye, it is used to view the stalk of the sewer pipe, and it is decisively thrown into the trash.
At that time, the prejudice of the Xiangjiang people against the mainland was really not small, of course, this was also related to the influence of the stupid and British, and it was too common for my rabbit to be hatted in the world, but this also reflected the breadth and profundity of Chinese characters.
The rabbit was hated. It's a 'wrong' word.
Although this is just a commercial film that follows the trend, the God of Gamblers in this era is already a movie ten years ago, so it is impossible to talk about following the trend when it is made now, because it was made in the first place. Nine times out of ten, they hit the streets, and no one dares to touch them until now.
Zuo Xiaoyou dared to risk the world's disapproval to shoot a gambling film that followed the trend, in fact, Zou Wenhuai was very unoptimistic, but who asked the Yankees to make this movie! also assigned Zuo Xiaoyou to serve as the director and producer of this film. Fortunately, the budget of this film is only 1.5 million, even if it can't be released, it only relies on selling CDs. It can also pay for itself.
In 1999, 1.5 million Hong Kong dollars was really nothing, and even a third-rate star couldn't afford to be invited.
After preparing the crew, "The Saint of Gambling" started filming in a low-key manner.
According to the custom of Xiangjiang, you have to worship God before starting the film, and after worshipping God, the crew started filming.
Zuo Xiaoyou sat in the director's seat, shooting the first set of shots with the camera.
The reason why he works as a director is because he wants to learn how to make movies in the future. His current strength is too strong, so he needs to make some higher, faster and stronger movies to pave the way for his future.
Starting the road of directing from this small crew of 1.5 million is just right.
Because of the limited funds of the crew, when Zuo Xiaoyou started filming, he did not turn on the film, but looked at the effect of the actors' performances, and if he felt that the effect was not good, he would continue to turn off the filming until he was satisfied with the results, and then said: "It's good, but it can be better, do it again." "Then I started shooting, and it worked really well and saved film.
In this way, a month later, the movie was successfully completed. After half a month of post-production, the film finally took shape. After Zuo Xiaoyou saw it in person, although he felt that there was still room for improvement, after all, the funds were limited, so it was the only way.
Even so, this version of "The Saint of Gambling" is two levels higher than the original "The Saint of Gambling". At least the logical errors are basically gone, and the picture is more refined, coupled with the 'no on' shooting method of left and right, the acting skills are above the absolute level.
Among them, Cai Ming's acting skills from the mainland really let Xiangjiang's buns see what acting is, even those old drama bones in Xiangjiang admire the five-body casting.
In comparison, Da Meiyuan is still a complete newcomer, and her acting skills are super bad. But fortunately, it won't be worse than the original Zhang Min.
In this way, Zuo Xiaoyou handed over the copy of the movie to the company and decided to release it in the summer file on July 15.
There are still twenty days left before the release.
(I still haven't rested well, and I'm a little tightened in my chest again.) But there are still two days left for the double monthly pass, what to do? Alas! Hold on! Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a recommended ticket. (To be continued.) )
