Chapter 93: Shooting (Seeing Life)

In the end, after the heroine was determined to be Ye Wange, everything was ready, and the movie (Seeing Life) was about to officially start filming.

The filming location was set in Spring City, for a very simple reason, because Spring City is Shen Mengfei's hometown, where the environment is very beautiful, and Shen Mengfei wants to drive the economy of his hometown.

The background decoration is complete, the cameraman is ready, and the gaffer is ready.

The actor's make-up is done.

The actors are in place.

o!

The movie saw life officially start filming.

A family who loves writing (played by Shen Mengfei) is sitting in a small single room of less than ten square meters, using an old computer to submit articles to various writing platforms.

This is his fifth book, and the first four have all hit the streets.

His name is Zhang Jingsheng, a graduate of a third-rate university, who is dedicated to chasing his dream (becoming a god of writing), and when he failed to submit his first book, he chose to quit his job in the factory and devote himself to writing.

He devoted himself to writing, but in exchange for repeated failures, his mentality has collapsed, as early as the beginning of the fourth book.

He has no financial resources, and he is now supported by his girlfriend Zhou Qian.

He didn't even dare to tell his family that he had resigned two years earlier.

The pressure was so great that he felt like he couldn't breathe, and if it weren't for his girlfriend who kept cheering him on and supporting him behind his back to keep him going, he would have given up a long time ago.

Zhang Jingsheng's hair is unkempt, and his hairstyle looks like those people on the street who ask for food.

He looked at the dilapidated computer monitor in front of him.

Ding dong.

An email was sent to his mailbox.

He opened the email expectantly.

What catches your eye is: We're sorry, your work didn't pass the review.

It also comes with a manuscript from the past that he submitted.

Immediately after, one rejection email after another was sent to his mailbox.

He clicked on it again and again, desperate again and again.

The last one, he didn't even want to and didn't dare to open it, but when he thought of his family and girlfriend, he still clicked on the last email with a hint of anticipation.

"I'm sorry, but your work didn't pass the review."

The attachment also sent his manuscript back.

He was completely devastated.

He hid his face and choked up, looking up at the ceiling, not letting the tears in his eyes flow, but there were so many tears that it was not at all enough to stop the tears from flowing down.

Tears eventually ran down her cheeks and dripped onto the ground.

Shen Mengfei completely substituted himself into the role of Zhang Jingsheng.

The actor next to him felt a lot of pressure: Fei Ge acted so well, I will probably be scolded if I don't act well for a while.

When Ye Wange saw Shen Mengfei's performance, she knew that the gap between herself and Shen Mengfei was so big. All along, she really wanted to catch up with Shen Mengfei's footsteps, but Shen Mengfei walked too fast, and she felt that the gap between her and Shen Mengfei was getting bigger and bigger.

Having said that, it's time for Ye Wange to appear.

Just when Zhang Jingsheng was in pain and collapsed, his girlfriend Zhou Qian (played by Ye Wange) called him.

Zhang Jingsheng wiped away his tears, calmed down, adjusted his breathing, and then connected the phone.

Zhang Jingsheng: Hey, Xiaoqian, do you have anything to do with me?

Zhou Qian: It's going to be the Mid-Autumn Festival soon, and I plan to go to you to find you in the Mid-Autumn Festival. I paid 5,000 yuan today, I will call you 3,000 later, you remember to be kind to yourself, don't treat yourself badly, you know?

Zhang Jingsheng: You know, I will never treat myself badly, you can rest assured.

Zhang Jingsheng's tone pretended to be relaxed.

Zhou Qian: Last time I proposed to you to change to a better house, did you change it?

Zhang Jingsheng: Not yet, I've been busy writing lately, and I forgot about it. I'll look for it tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and I'll move as soon as I find a suitable house.

Zhou Qian: Well, it's good to find an environment

Order, quietly, so that you can write. By the way, how have you been writing lately? Don't give up on your dreams.

Zhang Jingsheng: I have been inspired recently, and I feel that my writing is much better than before, and I believe that I will be able to sign a contract soon.

Zhang Jingsheng hid the news of Zhou Qian's failure to submit again.

So far, Zhou Qian only knows that Zhang Jingsheng's submission has failed twice, but she doesn't know that Zhang Jingsheng has failed five times.

Zhou Qian: Well, come on Jingsheng, you will definitely do it.

Zhang Jingsheng: I will definitely do it. If nothing happened, I continued to write. I will tell you the address when I find the house and move later.

Zhou Qian: Okay, Jingsheng, don't forget to take a break when you're busy writing.

Zhang Jingsheng: You should also pay more attention to your body, don't always work overtime.

After the two told each other to pay attention to their bodies, they hung up the phone.

Zhou Qian is a low-level employee in a factory, with the lowest salary, working overtime every day, and only taking one or two days off a month.

The factory includes food and accommodation, which is also the reason why Zhou Qian did not share a house with Zhang Jingsheng, she was completely to save money. If she goes out to live, the factory does not give her any additional subsidies.

Zhang Jingsheng can rent a single room if he lives alone, and if he shares a house with two people, he will have one bedroom and one living room or two bedrooms and one living room.

After hanging up, Zhang Jingsheng fell into EMO again, laughing at his own incompetence and laughing at his own self-righteousness.

He began to regret quitting his job and coming out to write.

He is now wondering if he should find another factory to make screws.

Thinking of his girlfriend's hard work in the past two years, and thinking of his parents' expectations, he was really going crazy, and he didn't know what to do.

Entering the factory? Or do you continue to keep writing?

"Can anyone tell me what the hell is the right thing to do?" Zhang Jingsheng roared loudly.

"Ah!!h

After a while.

"Maybe everything is wrong, everything is wrong. I'm such a piece of shit, I'm not even a piece of shit." Zhang Jingsheng laughed at himself in a low voice.

Looking at the five failed copies on the computer desktop, he felt that it was a shame, and keeping them would only bring pain to himself all the time.

The mouse moved to the text, and Zhang Jingsheng deleted all five of his books.

Zhang Jingsheng thought about it for a long, long time, but still didn't have an answer. He decided to go out and find a new house, a change of environment and a change of mood.

Zhang Jingsheng found a lot of apartments, kept talking about the price, and kept looking for it. In the end, he found a one-bedroom apartment with a relatively cheap price.

After moving into a new house, he had a dream in which he became a famous writer god.

In his dream, he became popular all over the Internet, and what he wrote was adapted into anime and film and television dramas, and his worth skyrocketed and he bought a villa with a sea view. Yes, one building, not one set.

He gave speeches all over the country, and he became an idol for countless people. He married his girlfriend, who obeyed his arrangement and became a full-time wife, and they had a daughter, and he was very happy in his dream.

When he woke up, he realized that it was just a dream. But he felt that the dream was very real.

So, he chose to chase his dream again.

Zhang Jingsheng began the writing outline of his sixth book.

He didn't know how to write it to make readers like it, so he went to look at the most read male frequency book on the Internet.

After reading more than a dozen chapters, he felt that the writing was very average, and the writing was not as good as his own.

He sat in front of the computer in a daze.

He was starting to split his spirit.

"Click!"

"Stuntman, up." Said the assistant director.

The stuntman sat in front of the computer and began to write, and Zhang Jingsheng (played by Shen Mengfei) stood behind the stuntman and watched.

After a while, the outline and the previous chapters were written.

Zhang Jingsheng read it and thought it was well written.

Zhang Jingsheng copied it again.

Place the outline and the previous ones

After the chapter was sent to various writing platforms, this time, he received a contract from the ZH platform.

The editor of ZH has changed blood, and the new editor-in-chief likes Zhang Jingsheng's writing style and routines.

After the successful signing, Zhang Jingsheng was even more sure that that person was the great god.

He began to frantically plagiarize the works of the great gods.

Zhang Jingsheng's previous personal part was completed very easily.

After it was Zhou Qian's turn to appear, Shen Mengfei began to shout "click" by accident.

Ye Wange's performance was too restrained, and it didn't achieve the effect that Shen Mengfei wanted.

In order not to delay the progress, Shen Mengfei personally demonstrated how to act, and kept encouraging Ye Wange, telling her to relax and not be too nervous.

Gradually, Ye Wange devoted herself to the role of Zhou Qian.

Filming started to go smoothly too.

When the shooting scene was changed to a hospital, Shen Mengfei asked to restore the environment of the real hospital one by one.

Patting and patting, when Shen Mengfei found that there were loopholes in the background, Shen Mengfei would always shout "click", and then shoot again.

The progress of the film is not fast, nor is it slow.

Shen Mengfei sometimes adds some plots to it temporarily, making the whole story smooth.

Gradually, Shen Mengfei has a deeper level of directorial experience.

He began to thrive.

Acting and directing have made two-tier progress.

Shen Mengfei is strict with other actors, and even more strict with himself.

Sometimes, when the assistant director thinks that the shot can be passed, and he feels that it is not perfect, he will always ask for a reshoot, over and over again, until he is satisfied.

Since he often reshot parts of the shots, the input cost of the film continued to increase.

It took 50 days, and the movie (Seeing Life) was finally completed.

The crew got together and took a group photo.

The theme song was already written during the filming process.

Shen Mengfei asked the princess to help sing the theme song of the movie, and in the face of her younger brother's request, the princess easily agreed.

After the movie was completed, Shen Mengfei began to do publicity.

Although the movie is planned to be released during the Spring Festival, this does not prevent Mengwan Entertainment from promoting it in advance.

After the post-editing of the movie was completed, everyone from Shen Mengfei and Mengwan Entertainment came to see the finished film.

It was their first film to make on their own, and they were thrilled.

After watching the finished film, Shen Mengfei felt that some of the funny scenes were too blunt, so he asked to cut them.

In this way, after Shen Mengfei asked to cut some of the blunt plots three times, he was more satisfied with the finished film.

All the staff of Mengwan Entertainment will not think that Shen Mengfei is making too much of a fuss, because they also know that this is the first movie of Mengwan Entertainment in the true sense, and the importance of Mengwan Entertainment is self-evident.

Only when the first film is well made will the audience look forward to their follow-up.
