Chapter 122: I'll never be a director again

“… How did you feel about being a director for the first time? ”

"One word: tired. Now I want to go home and take a hot shower and sleep with him for a day and a night. Shen Xudong pointed to his eye circles, "For more than ten days, I only sleep a few hours a day, and the work intensity is high." I didn't have time to take a shower after filming, so I fell asleep. It's tormented, it's devastating. ”

Feng Xiaogang was happy: "What about other than these? ”

"In addition to these... Gone! ”

"Don't you enjoy it... Watch your own movies take shape little by little according to your own ideas..."

Shen Xudong shook his head: "As a producer, I can also watch my own movies take shape." ”

“… Well, let's not talk about it... Come on a cigarette! ”

Shen Xudong hurriedly took out Huazi from his pocket, ordered it for him, and ordered one for himself by the way, and then said: "There is still a harvest to be a director!" ”

"What?"

"The craving for cigarettes has grown!"

“… What about alcohol addiction? ”

"I'm allergic to alcohol... Congenital. ”

“… Then you can have a drink later. ”

There is no need for Feng Xiaogang to remind him, Shen Xudong also knows how to drink drinks.

There are almost 50 people in the crew of "Rise to Fame" - cameras, lights, slides, radio equipment, etc...

It's already small!

In fact, with the name of Shen Xudong and the starring lineup, it is still very easy to casually set up a film team of more than 200 people.

It's not that Shen Xudong is troublesome.

He didn't recognize all the more than 50 people...

It's not a blockbuster...

Excluding the remuneration of the cast and crew, the real filming cost of "Rise to Fame" only cost less than 3 million.

So how did you achieve a cost of 35 million?

Oh, Shen Xudong gave himself a high salary: screenwriter, producer, and director fees, adding up to 17 million...

Is it high?

This play was won by him, without him, where would "Rise to Fame" come from?

Besides, he does wear three hats!

More work, more rewards!

In the original time and space, the cost of "Embarrassing Mother" was 220 million, and Xu Zheng took 87 million alone, and no one said anything.

……

At the finale banquet, there were not many people, and there was no class division, and after two glasses of wine, everyone mingled.

The scene was very lively.

"Director Shen, I toast you! Good luck at the box office! ”

“… Thank you! ”

Shen Xudong got up and had a glass with a migrant worker who came over to toast...

In fact, most of the crew members are rough people who beg for a living...

Professionalism?

There is a professionalism of hanging hair, and the style of most of the lights in China can be summed up in one sentence: all bright.

Then, when shooting, I have to say to you, 'Oh, there are so many reflections!' ”

Anti-you paralysis!

Therefore, the light that Shen Xudong is looking for is Zhang Li...

Let the photographer set the lights directly!

- The most important thing in "Rise to Fame" is that the characters use light, and the scene uses light...

Let's put it this way, the crew of "Rise to Fame", in the first scene, did not arrange someone to take care of the high platform, and that's it, I can't see sandbags...

Shen Xudong scolded directly, and then asked Zhang Li's team to be responsible for lighting.

Also, the crew of "Rise to Fame" did not rent a lift truck, and directly used a lifting light pole...

It's really Feng Xiaogang's sentence 'Mainland crew, except for the main creators, most of them are migrant workers'...

However, the finale feast. Shen Xudong did not refuse, although he knew that the song was over, and these workers did not necessarily have deep feelings for this movie.

In fact, for the crew of the crew, this is just a ten-day job, after drinking loose wine, except for Guo Fan, Su Lun, and Yin Ruoxin, who were filming for the first time, no one will be immersed in any "remembrance" and "reluctance" emotions.

Everyone received their wages, and Lao Yan flew separately.

Tomorrow I still have to find a job and support my family.

About a circle of people saluted, Shen Xudong was a little unable to hold back - two bottles of drinks into his stomach, he needed to go to the toilet.

Then Da Tiantian came over with a cup: "Director, I respect you." ”

Shen Xudong smiled all over his face: "Tiantian, come..."

Then Jing Tian said loudly, "I know I'm stupid... You taught me a lot about this shoot. is not only the method of filming, but also the truth of life. Thank you, Director Shen, you are a good director! ”

“… I... When will you be taught the principles of being a human being? ”

Shen Xudong was about to ask rhetorically, but the latter had already picked up his wine glass and drank it all...

“… You drink less..."

Shen Xudong was a little worried, and then, seeing Da Tiantian's face turn red, he fell directly into Shen Xudong's arms... Unconscious.

Everyone at the scene was stunned...

After a few seconds, a group of people began to heck:

"Drunk yourself and give someone else a chance?"

"That's a great trick!"

"Xudong, you don't have a girlfriend! Sweet is just right! ”

"Bosses, don't laugh!" Shen Xudong panicked and hurriedly shouted: "... Zhang Xi, and those women, come and help! ”

Shen Xudong's personal assistant immediately assisted Su Lun and Yin Ruoxin to help Jing Tian up...

"You can send her back to the hotel first!"

Zhang Xi asked in a low voice, "Send it to your room?" ”

Shen Xudong glared at her directly: "... to her own room..."

And then what?

And then... Shen Xudong went to the toilet!

What he didn't know was that after getting into the car, Da Tiantian, who was lying in the back row, immediately opened his eyes - a little regretful!

It's a pity that Shen Xudong's elm head is not open...

……

"Rise to Fame" was filmed for 18 days, Chen Xudong stayed in the crew for more than 12 hours a day, and after he went back, he had to think about the next day's shooting...

Not to mention Da Tiantian, even Gong Li, he didn't have the initiative to communicate his artistic thoughts!

Therefore, making a movie is too energy-consuming, and it is also consuming one's artistic intuition - art must be communicated from time to time, and once it stops, it is very soft and easy to cherish itself...

Be good at discovering new art!

If "Rise to Fame", Shen Xudong is not a director but a producer, he will definitely have a chance...

Pulled back, Gong Li left the crew early in the morning - she had to audition for "The Dark Knight", auditioning for the role of Miranda, who is the daughter of the ninja master...

The movie is finished, and the most important thing in front of Shen Xudong is, of course, editing.

After editing, the film is printed, copied and post-produced.

The filming stage of a film is only the preliminary completion of the creation of the film.

In the later stage, it also needs to be edited, dubbed, retouched, and color-corrected, and then slowly formed.

Filming is only the first half of the whole film process, it belongs to the industrial process, and the editing work is to reorder and select the shot materials...

Therefore, editing is a very important part of the whole film creation.

Script, filming, editing, and film and television drama creation!

Hollywood even thinks that editing is higher than shooting, so many directors don't have editing rights.

Shen Xudong didn't have any ideas about the editing of "Rise to Fame" - just cut it according to memory!

Rao is like this, and he has still experienced three or four days of intense busyness.

After the finished product was completed, he walked out of the editing room with Zhang Yifan, his face was greasy, his body was tired, and his body was sweaty and sour...

I've been eating and sleeping in the editing room for the past few days...

Oh, Zhang Yifan is a well-known editor in the industry, and he has worked with Jiang Wen and Ning Hao.

Saying goodbye to Zhang Yifan, Shen Xudong went home first - take a good bath!
