Chapter 408: Small Cost, Big Production
This is also another aspect that Wang Sheng admires.
The cost of film production is really not too high, because there are really not too many props used in the background, and there are no big scenes.
However, the actors invited to shoot in the movie are not simple, and the salary is not low.
General entertainment companies, film production companies, they often do this, invite some well-known directors, stars to shoot movies, the cost of the movie, basically in this regard, the real money used to shoot the movie is very tight, in the end, the movie is actually unsatisfactory.
And the same is almost the same, but Cork is not limited to the upper limit of the cost of the movie, which is a matter of inviting well-known stars to participate, but when the film is made, it will cost as much as it should cost, and the purpose is to make the movie really exciting.
Wang Sheng, I think, like this love saint, if he is really allowed to preside over the production with full authority, it will be to give him 10 million, no, it may be millions that can already be filmed.
Where is the need to hire an actor who hasn't acted for a long time and spent 10 million?
Really, there are really not many places that need to spend money on the whole movie, and the live-action shooting of many movies can be made without spending money. At most, it is basically okay to rent a villa to shoot a scene for a day or two.
Anyway, this is a movie that is completely made on a small budget, and there is no need to spend so much money to make it.
However, now that he has seen a small part of the film made by Huang Bai, he knows that he was wrong.
It turns out that even if it is a movie made on a small budget, it can be made into a wonderful movie and a classic.
It's like the plot of this movie about coming to see Master.
This is really a very simple plot in the background, but whether it is Cheng Sheng's conversation with several masters, or a thin man repairing a washing machine from the washing machine, these are all hilarious movie scenes.
Wang Sheng felt that if he only took the shot himself, he would definitely not be able to shoot so well in such a simple shot.
What makes people feel funny is that it is obviously two bottles of drenching water, but Cheng Sheng said that he went to the mainland to travel, and the two bottles of fairy water bought in Shushan are specially used for women and can also nourish yin and nourish their faces, and it is better for men, which can cure kidney deficiency and bring the dead back to life......
Wang Sheng watched Huang Bai's performance to the four masters, so naturally, he naturally said that a bottle of drenching water was fairy water, and he didn't know how many times he laughed so much that his stomach cramped.
Here, I want to say that Deng Meijun and Huang Shaojun are back.
In this way, Huang Bai decided to let Deng Meijun play Ah Ping.
Then, Xu Xue, who came back together, also asked her to play one of the masters, and the other three mothers also asked the actresses of her company to shoot, Mei Qianxue, Chen Yanran, and Lisi.
That's right, a foreign girl was added to show the power of the love fairy, and even the foreign girl was soaked.
Of course, these three women, except for Xu Xue, who already has the charm of becoming a *** person, they all look too young, so they have to go through makeup techniques and dress them up to be more mature, so that at first glance, it seems that most of them are mature women.
In this way, the cast of this movie is really powerful.
Not long ago, the Titanic was so popular that the entire Blue Sky Star World exploded.
Huang Bai became a heartthrob in one fell swoop, and as the heroine Mozart Lis, she is naturally also popular, known as one of the most beautiful and sensual female stars at the moment, the degree of heat, the degree of popularity, is really not under the male protagonist of Huang Bai. Now she comes down to make a cameo, although there are only a few shots, but this will also surprise and surprise people, which invisibly adds a lot of color to the movie, and can suddenly raise the level of the movie.
In addition, Xu Xue also performed in the Titanic, in foreign countries, Western audiences may not know who this Dragon Country woman is, and Xu Xue does not appear in many shots, so, in the Western world, Xu Xue is not too popular, not famous, at most, it means that she has entered the eyes of the Western world, and has entered the list of artists who have been inspected by some film companies
When making a movie, when the film company needs to use actors from the Dragon Kingdom, it may also invite Xu Xue to shoot some unimportant roles.
However, in China, Xu Xue did become popular with the popularity of the Titanic. However, it is a pity that at this time, some entertainment companies are being rectified in China, so when Kapok Entertainment also suffered a blow to rectification, its company is unlikely to take advantage of Xu Xue's fire to add a fire to Xu Xue.
But no matter what, Xu Xue's appearance in the movie that Huang Bai is making now will also attract the attention of Xu Xue's fans, Xu Xue is also a queen of music, and her fan popularity on the Internet has indeed reached one billion. Therefore, her every move will also attract the attention of many fans. Xu Xue, who has never filmed much, believes that many of her fans will look forward to her performance in the movie.
When filming "Fairy Water" here, when it comes to curing kidney deficiency, there are also performance moments of their women, mainly micro-performances of performances.
Their eyes lit up, and then they had some indescribable shy expressions.
With such a performance, anyone who understands will also smile, because such an expression expresses their desire for a certain activity. It also reflects that the "master" may have some problems.
Then, when the "master" said that he didn't need it, it just revealed that he might not be able to "satisfy" a few "master's" problems......
These are actually just short shots, but they can reveal a lot of things, and anyone who understands them can't help but laugh.
followed by a few masters and wives who were anxious, and looked at the master of the love fairy with cold eyes, this master withered all of a sudden, so he had to work obediently, which well reflected the face of a man who was "afraid of guilt".
Speaking of how much money it cost to buy this fairy water, Cheng Sheng said two or three cents, which is trivial. Two or three cents actually means two or three thousand.
I want to cheat some money from my wife to spend it.
Who knows how much my wife asked?
"How much? Three or five pieces?"
"Where do we have change? Come, and give you a piece of five."
A lady took three five-cent coins to him.
Cheng Sheng was stunned, and seemed to muster up the courage to say what I mean, two or three cents means two or three thousand.
Who knew that his wife didn't care about him so much, as if she hadn't heard it, she was still enthusiastically pushing Cheng Sheng away, and she was busy playing cards.
On the mahjong table, there is actually a lot of money......
The master pulled Cheng Sheng out of the door, scolded him for working so hard to get this amount of money from his wives, and snatched it from Cheng Sheng's hand without letting go of three coins. (It can be seen that this is also in line with a mainstream of the current society, a live-in man has no money on his body, no private money at all, and is managed to death by his wife.) )
Master Qingxian said that you are a dead boy, you haven't seen anyone for a while, why did you go, didn't you soak with that Ah Zhen?
mentioned Ah Zhen, Cheng Sheng said don't stop Ah Zhen in front of me, I will take her. Z.br>
Master asked what was wrong.
The more Cheng Sheng spoke, the more excited she became: She is sorry for me, a woman like her, who loves vanity, is watery, and is obscene to the extreme.
He said too loudly, and was heard by the four masters and wives in the house, and they all asked, who is talking about us?
Cheng Sheng hurriedly said that it was Master.
Master hurriedly said that it was the downstairs......
The two were talking outside the door.
Cheng Sheng said that the master always refused to teach him the real kung fu of picking up girls.
As soon as he said this, the master became excited.
A wonderful line of dialogue.
Cheng Sheng said yes.
It's miserable.
Master said, therefore, those who do our business (eat brains) must not speak a single love word, only one word, and that is the word money.
For the sake of money, we must be ruthless.
Cheng Sheng seemed to be greatly inspired.
"I understand Master."
When Cheng Sheng spoke, he took back the money he had just paid homage to his master from his master's pocket, and when the master was stunned, he snatched back the three coins he had just defrauded from his wife, and snatched back the money, and this guy fled.
Master Qingxian looked at Cheng Sheng who had escaped, and said, "Okay, okay, stinky boy, you have obtained my true inheritance, and there is a lot to be done in the future."
This is the case, it seems to be a simple situational plot, but it is filmed amazingly and makes people laugh.
Of course, this seems simple, but it pays special attention to the acting skills of the actors.
If the actor's acting skills are not in place, then it will be very embarrassing to shoot, so, not to mention that it is good-looking and exciting, it is good to be able to not let the audience scold.
Therefore, it is such a simple situational plot, and Huang Bai shoots it all day. It's really about excellence.
It wasn't until Huang Bai himself looked at every shot, automatically edited it into pieces in his mind, felt that there was no problem, and felt quite perfect when he looked at himself, so that others would definitely not look embarrassed, so that Huang Bai officially passed the shooting of this scenario.
Seriously, like Chen Yanran and Mei Qianxue, they are already impatient, they were just cameos, except for the one scene at the beginning, and now they will only shoot some shots together in a welfare home later. They think that in fact, they can just find a few women to shoot, and they don't need them to make cameos.
However, cork has its own cork.
How to say it, let's talk about this, these movies of Zhou Xingxing's classmates made by Huang Bai now. are some of his early films. At that time, Zhou Xingxing was still just an actor, although in the filming of the movie, his opinion, the crew would definitely respect his opinion. However, it will certainly not all be filmed according to his intentions.
In the end, the movie is indeed very good, but the movie that he later raised funds on his own and directed and acted in really has a lot of shortcomings.
Let's put it this way, the movies that Zhou Xingxing directed and acted in later can be regarded as nonsensical movies that are truly masterful, with extremely high artistic content.
In later movies, it can be said that there is almost nothing superfluous in every shot, and every character in the movie, even a prop, has a unique meaning.
Especially every character in the movie, those inconspicuous dragon routines, also have their own unique places, and they can also be remembered firmly at first sight.
Huang Bai is now, it is not as simple as remaking Zhou Xingxing's movies, but to improve Zhou Xingxing's early movies and make up for some deficiencies. So that these movies have all become truly classic movies.
Such as the wind and rain that was released earlier, and the new Jingwumen movie that is about to be released now. If it is said that only referring to the performance and image of the actor, Huang Bai will definitely not dare to say that he can surpass Zhou Xingxing. After all, it took a hundred years to produce a talented movie genius and ghost talent. He is unique, Huang Bai is really not him, and the images of the two are different in themselves.
However, cork also has its own advantages, because cork also has a particularly friendly temperament, in terms of appearance, cork is actually more handsome and handsome, more attractive to the public, more likeable.
And then in terms of acting skills, Huang Bai is naturally far inferior to him, but with the help of the entertainment mythology system, after Huang Bai uses the perfect character card, he can directly feel how the original owner performs, and he only needs to act naturally and freely according to that feeling.
This is equivalent to an invisible classmate Zhou Xingxing who is teaching Huang Bai to make movies hand-in-hand, so the acting will not be worse than the original version.
For people in this world, because they have not met Zhou Xingxing's classmates, Huang Bai is Zhou Xingxing.
This is a problem on the part of the protagonist. In addition, whether it is in the plot, or in the background layout of the movie, etc., Huang Bai thinks that he is doing a better job than in the original movie. It is an upgrade and reinforcement of the original movie.
as
Therefore, in the performances of those supporting roles, dragon sets, etc., Huang Bai also tried to get as close to the original movie as possible, and tried his best to find actors who were similar to the characters and images in the original movie to shoot.
As for the gods, it depends on their acting skills.
If you find similar actors, they don't have that kind of acting skills, then Huang Bai can only spend some money to buy a perfect role card for them and act on them.
However, it will cost a lot of money.
It is precisely because of this that Huang Bai did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to invite this bald master, because the bald master's acting skills are really good, as long as he gives him the script and tells him what kind of role he wants to film, he will be able to perform perfectly.
So, even if it's 10 million, it's worth it.
Let's go back to these four masters.
In the original movie, in fact, they are not outstanding, in the limited appearance shots, the audience should not have an impression of them, and no one should remember who they are later.
Just looking at such a situation, it is already clear that these four masters and wives are actually the shortcomings in the original movie.
Therefore, Huang Bai now, if he wants to change this situation, he must also make these four masters and wives shine.
Therefore, Cork also added a play here.
For example, the four of them are all the wives of the bald master, on the surface, the four of them look like they are together and beautiful, but in fact, in some micro-expression performances, they are inseparable from each other.
Such as secretly giving some "black hands" to each other and so on.
This sitcom is roughly based on the original movie, but a lot of content has been added to it, which deepens the impression of the four wives. Let them all perform their differences in this rare appearance.
For example, under Xu Xue's gentle appearance, there is a black heart, and the three coins she gave to Huang Bai will have an inner monologue: This kid, do you really think that the old lady has never seen the world? Fairy water? Drink the old lady's footwashing water, pretend with me, give you three five cents, and get out of the old lady!!"
And Xu Xue, the foreign girl's wife, filmed the coquettish essence in her bones, such as her inner drama: fairy water? Can you really make that old guy stand up? This kid must be using fake things to deceive me, and the perfect tonic soup he brought last time has no effect at all......
Mei Qianxue, when she was talking, quickly changed a few mahjong tiles.
Chen Yanran's inner drama: This Western ***, when I hear the fairy water, my eyes light up......
These, Huang Bai deliberately gave them a little shot, basically, a shot that can leave a deep impression.
In this way, they will not really become dispensable characters in the movie.
But just shooting such a scene shot, it took a whole day.
Huang Bai also realized that these four girls are really not fuel-efficient lamps.
In the movie, they are the mothers, the four wives of the bald master. But in this reality, they are all Cork women, so when they are impatient, it is not the bald master who coaxes them, but the starring actor Cork, and then, Cork is inevitably suffering, and the flesh on his waist is twisted blue by them.
These circumstances made the bald master accidentally find out, this guy is also an old and immodest person, giving a thumbs up to Huang Bai and squeezing his eyebrows.
The bald master is called Maibo.
Next, it's time to shoot the next scenario.
A plot of stopping a car and taking a taxi has already happened earlier.
Because the times are different, nowadays when you take a taxi, you generally use DD to take a taxi, a hitchhike or something, and you can be on call. The difficulty of taking a taxi may make some viewers today GET less laughable.
But that's okay too.
Such as the scene when Cheng Sheng was in a hurry to take a taxi in order to catch up with Ah Zhen earlier. This was taken in a specific environment, and at first glance, you could tell that there were very few cars in that place, and it was too late to take a taxi with a ride. It was a scene that happened under an emergency situation.
In this way, the funny effect is naturally full.
Now, there are no more emergencies like that.
So, you have to have a reasonable excuse to grab a car with another person waiting for the bus.
At the same time, here, it is also to give a reasonable excuse for Cheng Sheng to pretend to be blind.
In this way, the movie will be smoother and more natural, and a series of funny plots will be introduced later.
