Chapter 6: Small team gathering, strange secrets in the box
A few days later, there was still no news from Wang Rui.
Chu Xuan is not in a hurry, he continues to stay at the door of the rental house without leaving the door, the waiting time may make people nervous, but if the mentality is stable, there is no need to be afraid, even if he is still poor, the memory in his mind is enough to bring him the greatest confidence!
But on this day, he specially cleaned up the rental house, which was not actually dirty, but he still tidied it up, after all, there would be guests coming to the door.
"Knock knock."
There was a knock on the door.
Chu Xuan opened the door.
"Haha Lao Chu, let's have a hug!"
Ning Hao opened his arms and pounced, Chu Xuan twitched the corner of his mouth, satisfying him!
"Sister Na, I haven't seen you for a long time, please come in."
As the two entered the house, Ning Hao asked with a big grin: "Why can't you think about it so much, before the hair grows, you start thinking about how to lay eggs?" ”
Chu Xuan picked up the copied script and threw it directly to him, "Don't speak, there's a kind of you going first!" ”
After speaking, he handed it to Xing Aina,
"Sister Na, you can also take a look, I have marked a few undetermined places, and we will discuss how to change it reasonably later."
"It's boring, just kidding, okay, let me see what great work you've been holding back for more than two months."
Ning Hao was talking to himself, he didn't feel embarrassed, it was also because he was used to it, after all, Chu Xuan in his predecessor had some literary and artistic diseases, for example, when a normal person encountered a gust of wind, he would directly say: "Hey, Mom, this weather is so comfortable!" ”
As a result, he would look at the trees on the side with a melancholy look, and then said with emotion:
"You see the flying of this leaf, is it because it is willing or can only be so, so it will be so helpless and hesitant at the moment of gliding, just like a kite off the string, gathering and scattering is not up to you and me."
At this time, Ning Hao would say sourly on the side: "If Lao Chu was born eight hundred years early, how many songs of the Song Dynasty would be thousands?" ”
"I'll talk about the situation first, the investment is not unexpected at 4 million, although the director has no news, but I am still confident, at most a few more runs, and then it is a team problem,
We don't need to be too comprehensive, the executive director relies on Haozi, I talked to Du Jie about photography, the producer is our Nortel's teacher Zhou Lin, and the lighting is also Li Peng, who was introduced by the director, and Sister Na can be responsible for the field affairs, and now it is left that the script is finalized and the initial actors are selected. ”
Chu Xuan briefly introduced the situation and asked them to take advantage of this time to boil the kettle of water without objection.
After more than half an hour, the two put down the script.
Ning Hao smacked twice and then spoke:
"I didn't understand enough on the phone, you want to shoot with two cameras, interspersed with some fixed camera shots and some close-ups such as overhead shots, right? I think it's a little bit not fresh enough, it's too normal. ”
Chu Xuan nodded, "After all, it's a warm movie, it's not very difficult, and besides, none of us have made a movie seriously, so I'm afraid of messing up." ”
Ning Hao frowned, "Although this is good, but because of this, we can make some brilliant shots within this limited range, I think the script is not bad, and it is very surprising to me." ”
Chu Xuan glanced at him: "What, I have to be Wenqing and special, I'll tell you today, it's a disease, it has to be cured!" ”
He used to be annoyed by delivering food and wrote online novels for a period of time.,It naturally involves some ideological things.,As a result.,The results are average.,I still like to fight with readers.,The most important thing is that I can't hold up and be a eunuch after the collapse.,And then one, two, three or four... The vest has been changed to four or five, or lv1...
"I'll tell you today, I have to give me your big gold chain, I like vulgarity, and I'll make a movie that our people watch clearly and is not vain!"
"Enlightened, yes, yes, there should be applause here!"
Ning Hao's face was full of relief, but this expression was a little underwhelming, as if his baby had grown up...
"Don't listen to Haozi's nonsense, anyway, just determine the style you like, and my sister will help if she can!"
Xing Aina also responded enthusiastically.
"Sister Xie Na, that's why I came to you specially!"
Chu Xuan first responded, and then said seriously,
"Okay, I understand what Haozi means, about the fact that the shots are more ordinary, you can wait for Du Jie to discuss together, maybe in this structure, we can use a few long shots to use it, such as expressing emotions and eliciting characters."
Ning Hao quickly understood what he meant,
"Then we can be so tidy in the first act, Wu Xiaowen woke up early in the morning and found that his grandmother, who was used to waking him up, was still asleep, so he pinched her nose to be funny or woke up loudly, but the whole can be designed from near to far, from upward to overhead shooting, and at the same time explained the character image environment."
Chu Xuan smiled and nodded, for all the behind-the-scenes personnel, tacit understanding is definitely the most critical part, otherwise there would be no birth of the word queen, otherwise even if the combination is highly skilled, there will be various problems when combined!
"In addition, we can use silent gaze in different situations to highlight the mood of the actor at the time, and use some foreshadowing and other metaphors for what will happen next, which needs to be matched by lighting, and the color tone is also very important."
A blunt part of the original film lies in this, every time as long as the phone rings, something bad will happen, once or twice is fine, but too much of it feels stiff, and the foreshadowing is too deliberate.
The two talked about a lot of professional things, Xing Aina didn't interject, she was a very good woman, and fully mentioned that behind a successful man there is often a wise woman.
She only talks about her thoughts in terms of what she is responsible for and understands, and does not interfere in other matters such as shooting, which is also related to her belief in Ning Hao.
Ning Hao nodded in agreement, "I'll tell you, I'm actually more interested in non-linear narratives, but this method is not suitable for this movie, maybe I'll try it when we finish this time." ”
Chu Xuan understands this, that is, the multi-line narrative he is good at later is combined with black humor, and he has become the only big director in China, but he will not point it out, as a buddy, he will only pull him when he should pull him, the road is his own after all, and only in this way can he get out of his own style.
"Don't worry, even if you have a good wave, I will give you a cover!"
Ning Hao looked at the surrounding environment, and the deliberate contempt in his eyes was not concealed at all, and told you clearly, that's all?
"What do you look at? Look down on me? ”
Chu Xuan opened his mouth to question, then sneered, and took out a big treasure from the desk drawer.
The small box was opened, and there were notes inside, not much, but there were more than a dozen, and they were directly in front of Ning Hao.
"What's this?"
"Don't you open it and take a look."
Chu Xuan raised his eyebrows.
Ning Hao was puzzled, then picked up one and saw the signature and handprint he was familiar with.
With a "pop", it was quickly closed.
"Brother, I was wrong."
Ning Hao's tone was sincere and his attitude was humble.
Chu Xuan couldn't deny it, and his voice was flat:
"What's wrong?"
"It's all wrong, it's me who doesn't know what I'm looking at... Your majesty! ”
Xing Aina cast a curious gaze, her expression full of asking what the situation was.
Ning Hao hurriedly winked at Chu Xuan, but his hand was firmly pressed on the small box, not moving at all.
Chu Xuan sneered, man, it wasn't like this when you did it at the beginning, it made you arrogant, now you know the consequences, right?!
"Ha, okay, forgive you."
Then he broke Ning Hao's fingers on the box one by one, and forcibly retracted the box.
Then Chu Xuan met his gaze, it was a miserable and miserable relative who was forcibly enduring unbelievable but did not dare to look at each other, he was really wronged!
Seeing this, Chu Xuan was very touched in his heart, and explained for him to Xing Aina, who was looking at her more and more:
"Ahem, it's nothing, it's just that Haozi used to be active in class, so he couldn't be idle, this is a leave slip I fabricated for him, Sister Na doesn't have to take it to heart."
Xing Aina gave a perfunctory expression and responded with a smile:
"Well, I do."
Chu Xuan didn't know how to respond to the authentic language, so he could only sigh with emotion:
harm, you can't live if you do your own evil.
Then Xing Aina didn't break the casserole and asked to the end, and looked at Chu Xuan and directly asked the script question.
"Lao Chu, see if you can change it like this:
Wu Xiaowen's mother did not directly seek Mo Sanmei, and found Wang Jianren and his wife, after all, they were Xiaowen's adoptive parents, but they did not agree but ridiculed her, and then she pinned all her hopes on Mo Sanmei? ”
Ning Hao took the opportunity to hurriedly echo: "What my daughter-in-law said is right! Makes sense, just do it! ”
Xing Aina ignored him, and then saw that Chu Xuan also looked disdainful, Ning Hao could only smile awkwardly, but then thought that it was so stupid, and then hurriedly added:
"At the beginning, Mo Sanmei didn't have to agree, she could design a few plots, such as Wu Xiaowen's mother often waited for her daughter alone in the kindergarten, and then when she saw her daughter come out, she wanted to rush up and panicked, and finally left in a hurry;
Or stay at the door of their store from time to time and be discovered by Mo Sanmei, etc., and then cause Mo Sanmei to make the decision to send her daughter, isn't this reasonable? ”
Don't say it, it's really round back in this way, and it's perfect to improve the plot again,
For example, Mo Sanmei and the two husbands and wives also communicated fruitlessly, and they were upset and added a little bit of reminiscence of their mother's fragments, understanding that no one can replace the importance of their biological mother, and finally discussed with Wu Xiaowen's mother to let her join the team, which is another kind of compensation and consummation, isn't this appropriate?
Chu Xuan also said his thoughts, and finally settled down in a few words.
"It's good, the plot tension is naturally indispensable in the warm film, so there is no need for Mo Sanmei to set up problems, that's it, it's over!"
Immediately after that, another problem was solved.
"Okay, as for sending the old man's ashes to space by setting off fireworks at the end, it also made Mo Sanmei think of this method, and then persuaded her sister to act together, although it is a bit vulgar, but this is human nature."
Suddenly, the basic difficulties were solved, and Chu Xuan and the two looked at each other, feeling quite excited.
Sure enough, unity is strength, and it is the right thing to gather the strengths of everyone to avoid blind manipulation!
"That old Chu, who are you going to choose for the starring role?"
Ning Hao asked again.
"It's not clear, it depends on the specific investment, after all, there are really many suitable people, but it depends on the salary."
Chu Xuan responded honestly, although he also wanted to invite a few well-known and acting skills to come, but the cost was a problem, he wanted to invest tens of millions of dollars generously, but the problem was that others were not confident.
"Even if all the 4 million I mentioned is in place, I can only try to choose the one with less money."
"Yes, even our school won't be cheap."
Ning Hao also frowned, how can a student with a good background be worth five figures, after all, it basically takes two or three months to make a movie, and if he appears in a TV series, there will be more, with a single episode of three thousand, and TV series are more profitable these years.
Chu Xuan responded honestly:
"Let's see, when the time comes, I will choose to invest in the form of salary and script, well, if I can."
Ning Hao really wanted to say, is this what you can say?
As a rookie director, it is enough to be content to try to win the casting and filming rights, as for other salaries and dividends, don't think too much!
The financier is definitely not good in the face of profit, unless he asks for something else!
Chu Xuan knew what this person was thinking as soon as he guessed, so he glared back, "Maybe you'll meet a good person!" Maybe people want to support domestic directors! Maybe it's just because I'm talented and use it as an investment! ”
Ning Hao is very good, and even more so in the face of buddies:
"Unless he's..."
"Forget it, I won't hit you, what you said is right, anyway, I can get paid honestly, as long as I have 10,000 yuan, I can do it!"
Ning Hao had already calculated the funds he was going to go overseas, and 10,000 yuan could only be said to solve the urgent need, but fortunately, at this time, some famous and new miscellaneous film festivals had a lot of allowances and subsidies in order to recruit more filmmakers.
"Cut, that's it!"
Chu Xuan was disdainful of this, and said with disdain:
"Don't worry, can we be directors to make ourselves miserable? As long as it doesn't affect the shooting, the maintenance arrangement is in place! ”
Ning Hao became shy and timid when he heard this:
"Harm, this... Not very well..."
Chu Xuan had a toothache, and at this time, he confessed that he still wanted to set up an archway!
"That's right, then you can sacrifice it, originally the three of us combined, why do we have to be worth three or five hundred thousand, since you don't want to, then you will be paid 10,000 yuan!"
Ning Hao was furious, what did he think of himself?!
"This must not be done! Our buddies said at the beginning, we must advance and retreat together in case of trouble! How could I, Ning Hao, be this kind of person who abandons friendship and disregards it!! ”
Chu Xuan was infected by his righteous indignation, and stretched out his right hand with sincerity on his face:
"Good brother! I really didn't think you wrong! ”
Ning Hao held it tightly and greeted him honestly:
"You have to trust me!"
Xing Aina didn't bother to roll her eyes on the side.
In fact, the director industry is really like this, they just reasonably increase the value, among them, the ruthless ones such as Chen Kexin, the $6,000 straw hat?
"Vote for Name" invested 40 million US dollars, according to the exchange rate at the time, this is more than 300 million!
Then the movie was finished, and Chen Kexin had an extra villa of 10 million...
"Okay, go on, Sister Na will also act as a co-producer this time, maybe you will follow Haozi throughout the filming in the future."
Xing Aina nodded, she also had this intention, but she was still a little worried: "But I haven't studied, and I haven't done anything, will it be messed up if I am not professional, it will not be good if I delay you." ”
Chu Xuan smiled, "Don't worry, I will hire a professional producer, when the time comes, you can just watch and learn, practice is the best way to learn, there may be something I don't understand about this one, but what about the lower part, what about the lower part, I believe you will be able to." ”
"Well, I see."
Ning Hao looked at Xing Aina and listened carefully, a little surprised:
"Hey, that's my daughter-in-law, and I'm going to arrange it, you're acting for you!"
Chu Xuan rolled his eyes:
", you just treat me as my brother-in-law and take advantage of you."
"Hehe, that's fine."
