Chapter 8: Fake Drama Really Done
"Phew!"
Zhang Jiani suddenly glanced at him angrily when she heard this, and then said with a little arrogance:
"As long as ...... You can find me to film next time! ”
Looking at Zhang Jiani's expectant little eyes, Zhang Mu suddenly laughed and said:
"It's a deal!"
When Zhang Jiani heard this, she immediately drank the wine in the cup with a smile.
Looking at the casual appearance, it is obvious that she is another iron lady in the wine field.
Seeing this, Zhang Mu immediately put out his careful thoughts about pouring wine, and obediently found Jiang Ping to fight for wine, but he had a grudge against this old scumbag for a long time.
Looking at Zhang Mu's profligate appearance at the wine table, Yan Danchen suddenly couldn't help chuckling and shook his head.
If she hadn't experienced it herself, she would never have believed that the head of a film and television city would have such a directorial level.
Such a magical experience reminded her of Quentin Tarantino, the winner of the Palme d'Or in Cannes in '94.
It is said that after dropping out of middle school, the director of the United States relied on working in a film company to learn various film and television knowledge, and later changed his career to sell discs as a salesperson in a video store.
As a result, after he pooled the money to make his first film "Reservoir Dogs" in 92, he then won the Palme d'Or with his second film "Pulp Fiction".
Reality is sometimes even more ridiculous than fiction.
Thinking of this, Yan Danchen couldn't help but look forward to Zhang Mu's future more and more.
……
After a carnival, the next day everyone in the crew went their separate ways.
It's not so reluctant, after all, everyone has experienced a lot of such things.
Even the youngest Zhang Jiani, who left her parents at the age of eight or nine to learn dance in the capital.
So after saying goodbye one by one, Zhang Mu didn't think much about it, and quickly entered the post-production of the movie.
Because "Pen Fairy" is a horror film after all, although he tries his best to show many horror scenes in it through various physical real shots, such as the horror scenes that Pen Fairy appears several times.
But after all, there are still a few shots that need to be rendered by special effects.
Fortunately, the requirements are not high, and now the newly built post-production company in Hengdian can barely do it, otherwise Zhang Mu can only go to Huairou Film and Television Base to find the company under China Film.
But when that happens, he will definitely be slaughtered severely, and the money he has left in his hand will definitely not be enough.
Starting from May 3, Zhang Mu stayed in the editing room for two full weeks before cutting out the final film.
But even so, by the time all the post-production was done that day, it was already early June.
There is no way, although after the last conversation, Old Man Xu also agreed with Zhang Mu's idea.
But Mr. Xu's equipment was bought very quickly, but the talents behind the scenes could not be recruited in a while, so Zhang Mu could only go into battle in person.
As a result, after the film came out, he almost didn't die suddenly, and he barely recovered after a day and a night of sleep.
The next day, looking at her son's haggard appearance, Zhang's mother suddenly felt distressed:
"Ah Niu, do you want to ...... Let's stop filming? ”
When Zhang Mu heard this, he immediately hugged his mother's shoulders and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'll rest for a few days." ”
Zhang Jianjun, who had always opposed Zhang Mu's filming, recognized him instead.
In his words, as long as you work hard, I will support you in whatever you do.
Zhang Mu knew what the old man was worried about before, so the hippie smiling face didn't explain anything.
But after this film is filmed, everything is not all right. And this time for the filming of "Pen Fairy", Mr. Xu really helped him a lot.
So as soon as he recovered some spirits, he invited Mr. Xu to the screening room to see the results.
However, when Mr. Xu got out of the car, he found that there was an uncle with a Chinese character face following behind. Looking at the expressions of the two, it seems that the relationship is not bad.
He saw that the old man didn't mean to introduce, so he didn't ask more.
"I didn't expect you kid to make this movie!"
"Hahaha~ Good job!"
While speaking, the old man patted Zhang Mu's shoulder happily.
Seeing this, Zhang Mu was not modest, and said with a smile:
"Didn't you learn this from you!"
With that, he welcomed the two in.
Looking at his unceremonious appearance, Old Man Xu couldn't help but laugh.
"That's it! Don't be too happy, you kid. It's a mule or a horse, take it out and yoke! ”
As he spoke, he unceremoniously sat down with the uncle with the Chinese character face, waiting for the movie to start.
Zhang Mu didn't bother to grind when he saw this, and even let the staff start the screening.
……
Ninety minutes later, as the film came to an end, the lights in the small screening room finally came back on.
Perhaps because of his age, Old Man Xu first rubbed his eyes a little tiredly, and then nodded to Zhang Mu with satisfaction.
Although the old man is not a professional director or producer, he still has a basic movie aesthetic.
After all, the criteria for judging horror films are simply too simple - as long as it can be made scary, it is a good horror film.
He didn't expect that Zhang Mu's first work would be able to have this level, which made the old man a little surprised.
But then he turned to look at the uncle with a Chinese character face next to him and said, "How is it?" ”
If it weren't for Old Man Xu's other treatment, Zhang Mu would almost have to treat this burly uncle as the old man's bodyguard.
But apparently, he wasn't.
After the old man spoke, he saw that he muttered for a moment, then nodded lightly and said:
"Yes, it can be sold!"
Seeing him say this, Old Man Xu suddenly smiled.
Then seeing Zhang Mu's face full of puzzlement, the old man pointed at this one with a smile and said:
"Speaking of which, Ah Xiong can be regarded as your senior!"
After being introduced by Old Man Xu, Zhang Mu knew that the uncle who looked like a bodyguard turned out to be Mai Dangxiong!
So Zhang Mu immediately couldn't help but step forward and shook hands with admiration.
"It turned out to be Mai Dao! Long admiration, long admiration! ”
He is not pretending to be polite, after all, compared with Mai Dangxiong's method of training actors, he let actors watch ghost movies and play with pen fairies during filming, which can be regarded as pediatrics.
You must know that when filming the scene of the train hitting people, he directly threw a "corpse" at the train without prior notice, which scared the train driver and almost caused the train to derail.
When filming in Xiangjiang Central, he directly asked the actor to rush into the gold store with a gun, which frightened passers-by and thought that there was really a robbery, and hurriedly called the police.
Of course, the police are not false.
He once rushed into the Central Police Station with a swagger to film without a permit.
Because his attitude was too reasonable, it was not until after he left that the Central Police Station knew that he had not applied for a permit.
