242. The Philosophy of the Strong

The content of this scene is very simple, that is, Xuanzang walks down the mountain, echoing the beginning of the movie when Bu Chan carries the baby up the mountain.

As soon as these two scenes were played, Meng Shi began to write the script and thought about it.

The slide rail camera used for filming, the cableway needed, Meng Shi had not yet arrived at the Blue Mountain, so he let Ji Hongting's mechanical group set up, and even the soundtrack was made by the fifth child.

……

Late autumn, early morning.

The baby, who was tied to a wooden plank, drifted down the White Horse River, was picked up by Buchan who returned from his travels, and was named Jiangliu.

Buchan carried the river up the mountain.

Soundtrack——。

This year was the first year of Wude, Li Yuan established the Tang Dynasty and set the capital of Chang'an.

Jiang Liu was ordained a monk at the age of eighteen, and his legal name was Xuanzang.

At the age of twenty-two, he bid farewell to his master and went down the mountain.

Soundtrack——。

This year is the thirteenth year of Zhenguan, and the westward journey begins.

The time of the two sets of lenses is two minutes and forty-nine seconds, and the other is three minutes and forty-four seconds.

It was only later that because Master Buchan did not like the script, Meng Shi deleted the former.

Today, Xuanzang finally started filming Xuanzang going down the mountain, and Master Buchan, who had been in retreat for half a month, suddenly said, 'Xuanzang went down the mountain this time, and there is no end and no beginning. ’

The master proposed to make up the shot, which made Meng Shi feel mixed feelings.

But this state of suffering from gains and losses is not suitable for filming this scene, so much so that this scene broke the NG record since the start of filming.

Meng Shi did not adjust it until Article 8.

By the twelfth article, Zhang Weijie felt that it could be used.

Article 15, Meng Shi himself felt appropriate.

"Thank you for your hard work." Meng Shi clasped his hands together and bowed to the staff and apologized.

Zhang Weijie said with a smile: "Director Meng is becoming more and more like a monk, but don't finish filming, he is really a monk." ”

Qin Qian, the little assistant who followed Meng Shi, shouted, "He wants to see the girl." ”

A bunch of people laughed.

Meng Shi also smiled and patted her head, "Little spy, when this drama is finished, I will fire you." ”

What Qin Qian does every day now, in addition to running around in the crew and chasing after snacks, is to report to Qin Qingxue, the producer who is far away in Sijiu City, on time what Meng Shi has done every day.

Qin Qian puffed up his anger, and his bun face became more rounded, "Liar, I don't want to follow you anymore!" ”

What she said was that when Meng Shi participated in the gallery before, she promised her that she would shoot a video of visiting the store, and she would be responsible for eating.

And then......

Since he left Sijiu City, Meng Shi has eaten two good meals.

Once I had a fish meal with Li Jiangshan on Jinxian Road, and the other time I had a skewer with Maka at an izakaya in Jinshan.

And I didn't take her with me twice.

Meng Shi looked at Qin Qian's resentful appearance, and raised his arm, "Tang monk meat, take a bite?" ”

Qin Qian pounced and was about to bite.

Meng Shi pressed her head and shouted to Guan Bin who was in a daze next to him, "Wukong, what are you looking at, don't help yet!" ”

Guan Bin looked at him with a mentally retarded expression, and wailed again in his heart: Damn, why is this kind of stupid fork with such good acting skills? !

Xuanzang went down the mountain, Meng Shi walked for a full 57 seconds, and took fifteen shots, Guan Bin watched it fifteen times from various angles, but he didn't feel tired or annoyed at all.

The expressions, eyes, pace and rhythm, and even the wind, clouds, insects and birds are so harmonious and unified with Meng Shi in this nearly a minute.

Especially the last few pieces, Guan Bin didn't feel like he was filming at all.

There is no BGM to set off, and there are still a group of staff around the perimeter, and the camera is running on the erected track.

However, Guan Bin was still brought in by Meng Shi, and the scene described in the script said.

"Everything in the world comes from emptiness, but where does this love and obsession come from? Everything in the world will eventually be empty, what is the purpose of that person coming to the city to rise and fall? ”

He looked at Meng Shi as if he really had this kind of myth, and walked down the mountain step by step.

And when filming Xuanzang deceiving the "little white dragon" from the fishermen, he showed a novelty and love for the world.

After Meng Shi saw the effect in the monitor, he looked at the sky, beckoned to pack up the equipment and go down the mountain, and joined the other half of the crew who were preparing in the White Horse River.

Zhang Weijie, Ji Hongting, Guan Bin, Meng Shi, four people in one car.

Guan Bin drove, and Meng Shi was the co-pilot.

"Has Director Meng considered the box office?"

Although Guan Bin privately called Meng Shi a brother and scolded him, he respected him more than anyone else when he was in the crew.

Among the actors in the crew, he is the most famous, and he must set an example for others.

On the issue of the box office, Guan Bin wanted to ask from the time the project was established, but after watching Meng Shi, he took a fake script to deceive Yu Churu, and finally collapsed the box office guarantee.

He kept the problem in his heart.

To be honest, Guan Bin has always felt that Meng Shi does not pay enough attention to it, or is not committed enough.

changed the script, found non-professional actors, and even found time to write songs and shoot short videos.

And there is no idea of how to satisfy the audience and harvest the box office in my head.

It feels like you're playing.

However, as the filming progressed, Guan Bin slowly changed this idea, and Meng Shi was really doing it with his heart.

Otherwise, his performance state will not reach that level.

So Guan Bin decided to ask the most critical indicator of the success of a film in his mind - the box office.

Meng Shi was a little surprised by Guan Bin's question, "Why do you suddenly care about this, you don't participate in the box office sharing, and you don't have a salary." ”

Guan Bin felt the blood vessels on his head suddenly jump.

Ji Hongting smiled.

"Director Meng, there should be an expectation in your heart, breaking 100 million?" Zhang Weijie is also a little curious about this issue.

He is a commercial film director, and after the project is approved, he can't help but have a psychological expectation of the box office, how much can return to the cost, how much can make money, and how much is successful.

Because these are related to whether he can continue to get the investment.

Meng Shi scratched his head, "I didn't think about it." ”

"Really?" Ji Hongting was a little surprised by this answer.

Among the directors she has come into contact with, only Lu Chengkang is the kind of director who doesn't care about the box office at all.

But this kind of indifference comes from, Lu Chengkang knows in his heart that his film can't be released at all.

Meng Shi was a little helpless, "I really haven't thought about this problem. ”

Guan Bin asked in surprise, "Why didn't you think about it?" ”

Meng Shi asked in a puzzled tone, "Why do I want this?" Can I still snatch money out of the audience's pockets and force them to sell tickets? I can only take the filming seriously and do my job well, and I can't take care of the rest, how can I say that? ”

Ji Hongting looked at Meng Shishi's slippery head and said, "If you are in full bloom, the breeze will come." ”

Meng Shi clapped his hands and said with a smile, "That's the reason." ”

Zhang Weijie shook his head, "In this environment now, you have to have the wind blowing first, and then others will look at it, hey, this flower is really beautiful." ”

Guan Bin nodded, "Why now, some not-so-good movies have achieved a high box office, because the theater has given a lot of films, and the box office on the first day is high. ”

"This is also the fundamental reason why the management began to stuff traffic into the crew, first of all, the box office has a box office guarantee, 18, 19, last year and this year, this trend can no longer be contained."

Zhang Weijie's mood rose a little, "Isn't Ye Shangmo's male one a so-called top streamer?" ”

"Box office." Meng Shi pressed down the car window, and a cold wind blew into the car, "Director Zhang, let me say something ugly, I can only talk about things like this by calling Huazi." ”

Zhang Weijie was stunned for a moment.

Meng Shi continued, "Do you know the former beggar gang? Three or five went out, came back and looked at each other, what they wanted was rice, it was a dish, oops~ You are a cross, pork belly! That's how Hanako talked. ”

Zhang Weijie stopped talking.

Ji Hongting stopped talking.

Meng Shi's words are not only ugly, they are simply scolding.

The three of them had different feelings.

But one thing is the same, Meng Shi can say this kind of thing in front of me, that is to treat me as his own.

In order to ease the atmosphere, Guan Bin shook his head and said, "What a mess." ”

Ji Hongting said, "I still want to make a good film." ”

Meng Shi nodded, "The audience who took the film went to grab tickets and queue up, which is called entertaining the public, called newB."

Entertainment is not standing on the street, fans can find them which actor they like.

It's not that it's hard to sing a little song, it's hard to open your mouth, and it's called entertainment to accompany your eldest brother to dinner.

That's not called entertainment, that's called cheap. ”

Meng Shi looked out the window, a round of red sun rose, full of mountain glow, and said slowly,

"The reason why our country is where it is today is that a group of people smashed a disgusting, dirty, cannibalistic old society and began to do something reliable. You can't do dirty things in the name of entertainment, can you? You can't be that dirty, can you? ”

Zhang Weijie let out a long breath and said, "Director Meng, this is the philosophy of the strong. ”

The aura that Meng Shi showed at this moment was too strong.

Ji Hongting followed Meng Shi's gaze, looked at the red sun that broke through the mist, and said, "The people have faith, the nation has hope, and the country has strength, and we will get better and better." ”
