Chapter Eighty-Eight: Drink with You, Lay Down Your Life
After the completion of the difficult scenes at sea, the newly formed crew seems to have been completely run-in, the cooperation is getting smoother and smoother, and the two classes of children occasionally get into trouble, but this is already the biggest shooting problem encountered by the crew of "Return" after entering October, and such a problem can no longer be difficult for Gu Bei.
In mid-November, the weather slowly cooled down, and the filming of "The Return" was nearing completion......
"Brother Jiayi, take a look at this painting." Gu Bei took out a printed painting and handed it to Zhang Jiayi, but the stylist called over and said, "According to this painting, let's do a modeling for Brother Jiayi." ”
"What is this? Did you draw it? ”
"I didn't draw it." Gu Bei hurriedly waved his hand and explained, "This is the work of an Italian painter in the 15th century, called "The Dead Christ", Brother Jiayi, the way you sleep in bed after a while is modeled on the person in the painting. ”
Although Zhang Jiayi didn't know the significance of Gu Bei's shooting, as an actor, he still nodded: "I understand." ”
The script will be written according to the plot line, but the shooting plan will not follow the plot in many cases, but adjust the shooting sequence as much as possible to achieve the rational use of resources and reduce the shooting cost.
The scene of the father lying on the bed and sleeping will appear in the film, indicating that the youngest son's negligence kills the father at the end of the film.
Zhang Jiayi is lying on the bed, the same as the action in the painting, if the crew observes carefully, they will find that after the father played by Zhang Jiayi died, he was transported home by his two sons on the boat, and the lying position was exactly the same as at this time.
"Click!" Gu Bei, who was carrying the camera and slowly pulling the picture away, shouted, the voice was not loud, and the crew of less than thirty people could hear it clearly.
ran to the monitor to watch the replay a few times, and after a long time, Gu Bei breathed a deep sigh of relief, took off his headphones, and said: ""The Return" has been completed, and it took two and a half months to shoot, nearly eighty days. ”
"Director Gu, don't say that, although you are very serious when you are filming, you are very good to your brothers, there is nothing hard or not, it is all for work."
The words of one of the staff members made Gu Bei laugh and said happily: "Today's finale, although our crew is small, but the finale banquet is indispensable, Brother Xiong has already contacted the hotel, the big guy is quick to pack up his things, don't get drunk tonight!" ”
"If you don't get drunk, you won't go home!"
Looking at these people who have been together for three months, Gu Bei is really happy, as for whether he will be drunk at night, Gu Bei doesn't care anymore, anyway, when he was with Deng Chao, Liu Ye, and Qin Hailu before, he was often drunk.
Liu Ye and Deng Chao love to drink very much, and they drink a lot, Gu Bei drinks a lot of wine, but after a long time, under the influence of Deng Chao and several people, Gu Bei also likes to have a drink with his friends when he is happy.
In the car, Xiong Zhengyu drove the car and said, "It's the end of the filming, you invested a lot of money, right?" ”
Gu Bei sat in the co-pilot, followed by the fat man and Zhang Jiayi, Zhang Jiayi followed closely and said: "Xiaobei, although I don't have much money here, but it's a little bit, you can take it to the emergency first." ”
"Don't worry, I still have the money here." Gu Bei told the truth, with an investment of 3 million, there was still a million left in his hand, "I still have a lot of money here, and I am still thinking about opening another hot pot restaurant and milk tea shop." ”
"You're going to open another branch?" The fat man's heart moved, and he said, "Why don't I go and manage the hot pot restaurant and milk tea shop for you, I love to eat, and I had a dream of opening a commissary when I was a child. ”
Hearing this, Gu Bei shook his head and smiled, and said, "Brother Xiong, listen, is this talking about human words, and I'm embarrassed to talk about shares, I haven't agreed yet, besides, will you manage the restaurant fat man?" ”
"What's so difficult about looking at a hot pot restaurant and a bubble tea shop, as long as someone doesn't take care of your store, I promise to give you a stable operation."
After pondering for a while, Gu Bei asked, "Fatty, are you serious?" ”
"Yes, let me tell you, I want to take my family over to Beiping, you have to give me a little more salary, otherwise I can't afford to buy a house." The fat man said in a joking tone.
"What about the crew?"
The fat man rolled his eyes disdainfully, and said: "Just your little bit of people, it's enough to have Lao Xiong and Yangzi, I really don't like to stay in the crew, it was for escape before, this time you called me, I want to help you from the bottom of my heart, this time I came to Beiping, and I went to Shandong with you to film, I thought a lot, I'm not yet forty years old, watching you fight so hard, I also don't admit defeat, I wanted to borrow you some money and open a supermarket in Beiping, but I heard that you opened two hot pot restaurants and a milk tea shop, so I had this idea, I was thinking of mentioning it to you slowly, but I happened to talk about it, so I told you by the way. ”
The fat man explained solemnly, and then said: "Although I know that you will definitely agree, I still want to ask your opinion in person. ”
"No problem, new master, someone manages the hot pot restaurant and milk tea shop for me, how good is that, and what you said is right, my crew has just this little bit of people, and it is enough to have Brother Xiong."
Xiong Zhengyu also nodded and said, "Yes, fat man, we have it, but you suddenly gave the brothers this news, and you will be in the place in a while, and you must have a good drink." ”
"It must be, I drink one pound, and I drink with you, two pounds."
Hearing this, Gu Bei's heart felt a little more, and then said: "I drink two taels, drink with you, and sacrifice my life." ”
……
The post-production is relatively simple, Gu Bei plans to take "The Return" to major international A-class film festivals to try it out first, to see if he can win a few awards, so when making subtitles, he deliberately made subtitles in several languages, and during this period, Gu Bei also followed the translation teacher to frantically tutor English for a period of time.
After the filming of the movie, the film studio and the music studio launched a series of cooperation, and it is expected to shoot the MVs of several albums.
The MVs filmed before were all crews from other companies, and from now on, Gu Bei also has his own team, as for the song MVs that most film directors disdain to shoot, when they come to Gu Bei, they don't care if the price will drop at all.
The two studios have not been integrated, after all, the main business is different, and it is a lot of trouble to put them together, and the website produced by Gu Bei Music Studio has slowly stabilized, and Gu Bei has put forward a lot of opinions from the studio's programmers according to the future development trend.
In the early stage of the website, you can only rely on time to start slowly.
In December, "Infernal Affairs" was released in Xiangjiang, and the audience rated it very highly, and the reputation far exceeded any movie in the same period, which can be regarded as the best Xiangjiang movie in recent years.
The popularity of "Infernal Affairs" Gu Bei at the moment does not have much connection, Gu Bei did not participate in the publicity and premiere, while making the later stage of "Return", he is also preparing for the two albums that need to be recorded in the future, the earth never stops turning, and Gu Bei's own life trajectory still has to go on......
