Chapter 10: The Advantage Is Me

The reality is really harsh.

Although compared with those pheasant crews or small crews, the crew of "Northern Fake" is already born with a golden key.

But in the face of real power, in fact, it is all the same, and they all have to make way for others in one sentence.

- The location was unable to let the crew of "Northern Fake" enter the filming as planned due to "unexpected reasons".

As for the so-called "unexpected causes", a little inquiry will make it clear.

When they learned about the situation, the other main creators of the crew all looked at the young director with concern.

It's not that I'm worried about giving way, but I'm worried that the director will be young and vigorous and tough to the end.

Who knows that Wang Wei showed calmness beyond his age: "I know, has the assistant group been recorded?" ”

Ah, that's it?

What else could it be?

Those who have been in the entertainment industry are generally not too naΓ―ve, let alone an old driver like Wang Wei who has never been in contact with the entertainment industry in his life.

In the entertainment industry, Vanity Fair, under the glamorous surface, is the bloody law of the jungle.

What is the law of the jungle?

Whoever has more resources at hand will be able to overwhelm others. If he farts, you have to say it's fragrant.

Can't stand it? Sorry, please don't come in.

In the previous life, the Chinese entertainment industry was even more perverted, in the face of power, what kind of personal dignity, moral ideals and even the legal system have to lean back, what can you do?

What's more, there will always be too many variables in the filming process of a movie. Wang Wei has developed a good mentality in his last life, solving problems is always in the first place, and it takes too much energy to be reasonable.

Assistant director Xu Daoxing first breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, yes, we have reserved more than one backstop location ......"

There was even a little excitement in his tone.

Wang Wei: "......"

If you want to say that there is any positive effect of falling into the pit in the previous three years, it is estimated that this is it.

The behind-the-scenes creators represented by Xu Daoxing in Dunhuang have a psychological preparation: no matter how complete the plan is, it can't catch up with the changes, so it is necessary to prepare as many plans as possible, what if?

No, when the unexpected came, they were calm one by one.

Xu Daoxing still said silently in his heart: Compared with the previous unlucky things, there is still a chance to save this bad thing now, how big is it.

As a result, the scheduled location was robbed without warning, and the whole crew was not angry when they first heard about it, and then they were not shocked, and they adjusted it as they wanted.

As for Shen Zhenyi, who was imagined by a canine-like creature, went to "beg him", I'm sorry, no one in the crew of the Buddha system has to make Wang Wei's face black, and no one has thought about it in this direction at all.

Seeing this, Lao Wang recalled: "Thinking back to three years ago, as soon as the producer ran away with money, everyone was like ants on a hot pot, and the whole crew was in chaos. If everyone had this quality back then, maybe that movie would continue to be filmed, and it wouldn't be as bad luck as being infected year by year. ”

"It's all been exercised." For a while, Lao Wang didn't know whether to be melancholy or happy.

- and then was neatly "invited" out of the set.

In Wang Wei's words: "It's okay if this guy doesn't come, but if he comes, there will be bad luck, it's too unsafe, let's get him out quickly." ”

Everyone thinks so.

……

Hutong location is a very important location.

Although the general framework refers to "Roman Holiday", the extent of Wang Wei's magic change is actually not small.

It's also easy to understand. After all, the imperial capital and Rome are two completely different cities, not all plots can be copied, and there is no need to forcibly copy.

In addition, as a somewhat pursuing director, Wang Wei never wanted to simply copy a movie one-on-one.

Of course, successful experience should be grasped.

One of the reasons why "Roman Holiday" is hailed as a classic is that the audience can follow the footsteps of the protagonist to wander the streets and alleys of Rome, and feel the blend of thousands of years of history and modern life.

Coincidentally, the imperial capital is also a charming city where history and modernity blend.

Imperial Capital Hutong, although not all of the city, can be said to be a very attractive business card of this ancient capital because it has done a better job in the inheritance of traditional culture at this time.

It's just, fate, it's really wonderful.

After on-site investigation, Wang Wei found that the ideal new location was another alley not far from the original location.

The two crews finally "got together".

……

The set of a new location.

"Lao Zhou, I want to have a background bokeh effect here, using an 85mm lens."

β€œOK。”

"Lao Xu, has that rattan trellis been included in the painting?"

"No, it's going to be blocked by that tree."

"Adjust the position."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Today, Wang Wei is quite devoted.

How so? I was coldly beaten with a stick, and I haven't had a place to reason, who doesn't hold my breath?

Not being entangled doesn't mean doing nothing, Wang Wei held his breath to make this scene more brilliant.

It was still Xu Daoxing who temporarily took the director's position, he picked up the megaphone and said loudly: "All attention, the last five minutes, clear the scene!" All irrelevant people, etc., retreat beyond the cordon! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Scene Thirty-Six, Act I, Begin! ”

[Reporter Joe pretended to meet the princess by chance, and the two chatted casually on the street.

The princess spoke her heart: "I wish I could do as I wanted all day." ”

Joe smiled: "For example? ”

The princess's face shone with dazzling brilliance: "I want to go shopping, I want to sit at the roadside stalls and taste snacks, I want to smoke and drink and burn my hair...... I want to play everything that young people like to play and have a good time. ”

Qiao secretly rejoiced: "Very good idea, so let's do these things together?" Uh, well, you've got your hair hot......"]

Here the princess has changed her hairstyle, but not Hepburn.

In the original book, this hairstyle caused a great sensation after the release of the movie, because it was not popular in that era. But the times are different, and Hepburn's hairstyle is no longer fresh, so Wang Wei has no intention of reproducing it in the movie.

He only asked for "short haircuts" in the script, and the specific hairstyle was left to Shen Zhenyi to decide.

Then Shen Zhenyi cut a short perm with a very layered and textured feeling, which was super neat and showed her temperament.

Although it's just a perm with slightly curly ends, it's also a "perm".

[Joe took the princess to an old alley: "In the imperial capital, each alley has its own story, which is much more interesting than visiting a shopping mall. ”

The princess curiously observed a very ordinary but lively alley.

Flowers are planted in front of the door, and there is an old courtyard house with rattans on the house; Looking up is a lacquer painting on the slightly mottled eaves; The snack stalls hidden in the courtyard did not shout loudly, but there was an endless stream of customers......

Jo asked the princess, "What snacks haven't you tasted?" ”

Princess: "I haven't tasted it." ”

Joe looked at her with pitiful eyes, "Okay, follow me." ”

Qiao took the princess to sit down in one of the houses: "Old shopkeeper, two servings of baked cakes and oily ghosts with bean juice, uh, one bean juice is good." ”

Then he turned to the princess and said, "When you come to the alley, you must taste the food of the old capital to ensure that the entrance is unforgettable." ”

The princess, of course, was looking forward to it, and first took a sip of the strange bowl of bean juice.

"Poof!" The princess covered her mouth with a pained expression.

"Hahaha." Joe laughed.

"Is this really a delicacy?" The princess pointed incredulously to the "dark cuisine" with a strong rancid smell.

Qiao smiled haha: "Welcome to taste the authentic characteristics of the capital, I said, you will never forget." ”

Princess: ......]

The next is "A Bite of the Capital".

Well, although the unique snacks that have been handed down in the capital can hardly be called gourmet, it cannot be said that there is really no gastronomy in the capital.

In this alley, the sizzling lamb skewers are unforgettable; Freshly out of the pot beef and green onion buns, take a bite and spray fragrant; Of course, sauce is indispensable, the capital's "sauce XX", the protagonist is definitely not the main ingredient at the back, but must be sauce......

In short, Wang Wei asked to shoot twenty or thirty scenes of the princess eating, although I don't know how many of the movies can be edited in the end, so it can be regarded as an advertisement for the capital's food.

Next, let's move on to the real advertising.

β€”β€”The two mothers paid 2 million advertising sponsorship fees, although they may not expect much effect, but Wang Wei thinks that he is a conscientious cub, and he naturally has to work hard after receiving the money.

Of course, product placement is also a technical job.

Poor technology - was watching the plot, and the protagonist suddenly put down a bottle of nutrition in front of the camera, and the audience had to stare at the trademark of the nutrition product for several seconds; Or after a thrilling escape, the protagonist suddenly sits on the roof of the building and drinks XX milk, perhaps to suppress the horror......

Sister Pressed Ni's surprise.

Wang Wei despises this kind of eating.

Therefore, he spent a lot of thought to integrate the product placement ads of the two companies into this plot.

[After eating and drinking, at a corner of the alley, the princess saw a Hanfu shop and couldn't walk.

Joe asked tentatively, "Want to try?" ”

The princess was surprised: "Can I?" ”

Qiao nodded: "They have Hanfu rental and photo services for tourists. ”

"You can't take pictures." The princess subconsciously objected, but immediately realized that she had reacted too much, and added: "I don't like to take pictures. ”

Joe's eyes flashed: "It's okay, if you don't like it, you won't shoot." ”

The princess was very impressed, and with Joe's encouragement, she finally decided to give it a try.

When she came out in a dress, Qiao Yi, who was talking to a colleague who was secretly filming all the way, looked up and froze.

The princess, whose skin is better than snow, is wearing a light purple chest-length skirt, her eyes are like a pool of clear water, and there is an indescribable lightness and elegance in her gestures.

When she walked slowly in the mottled alley, she had the illusion of time and space travel. 】

The main photographer Zhou Lin pointed the close-up camera at Shen Zhenyi, and shouted in his heart: "! it! ”

When Wang Wei added this plot of wearing Hanfu before, Zhou Lin had a negative attitude.

Not because of the product placement, but because according to his observations, Shen Zhenyi is obviously more modern, and the effect of wearing classical Hanfu is not satisfactory.

Now, when Zhou Lin saw Shen Zhenyi standing in front of him in Hanfu, he suddenly saw a beauty in the water town of Jiangnan.

The most amazing thing is that she cut her hair short, which actually does not conform to the image of wearing Hanfu with long hair fluttering, but with a very gentle apricot-colored top hat, she has achieved the perfect fusion of classical and modern.

Zhou Lin has a hunch that this wave may be able to set off a wave of "short hair with Hanfu".

Also feeling the same is Shen Zhenyi's little assistant Wang Xiaojing.

She gritted her teethβ€”or she was afraid she would scream.

Compared with simple beauty, what surprised her more was her employer's talent to freely switch temperament according to the scene - when she wore modern fashion, she was a fashion princess; When she wears traditional Hanfu, she looks like a classical princess.

Now, the road is wide!

[Back in the play, it was the amazing Hanfu shop owner who pestered and persuaded the princess to take a few promotional photos, but the princess refused and couldn't, so she could only change into Hanfu when Qiao helped stop the shopkeeper and leave quickly.

Joe: "You can't blame her for being so enthusiastic, she's so beautiful. ”

The princess was a little embarrassed: "Thank you." ”

Joe deliberately said: "It's a pity that you don't want to take pictures, maybe you really have the opportunity to be the spokesperson of this brand." ”

The princess didn't answer, but happened to see two little girls playing with a twisting car in front of her, and bluntly changed the subject: "What are they playing?" ”

Qiao Yi raised his eyebrows: "Twisting the car, didn't you play it when you were a child?" ”

The princess was slightly disappointed: "I had very few toys in my childhood. ”

When Qiao heard this, he didn't know how to comfort the princess, glanced at the two little girls again, and suddenly smiled: "It's not too late to play now." ”

As he spoke, he licked his face and went over to find two little girls to borrow a twisting car.

The princess was dumbfounded.

Joe came back with a twisting car: "Come, I'll take you to play." ”

The princess was moved and amused: "Don't do it, this is only for children." ”

Joe is serious: "Don't talk nonsense, it's too childish for children to play this, and it's just right for adults to play." ”

The princess was amused: "I won't." ”

Joe: "It's very simple, I'll play it for you first." ”

After speaking, a big man straddled the twisting car without any pressure, twisted the steering wheel, and skillfully soared up the "car".

"Come on, try it."

At Joe's repeated urging, the princess looked at the two little girls who were so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth, gritted her teeth, and got into another twisting car.

It was awkward at first, but soon she realized that it was really simple and really ...... It's fun.

You don't have to touch your feet on the ground, you can run with a twist of the steering wheel, and it's super smooth.

The two of them sat on the twisting car one after the other, racing wildly.

At this time, a group of elementary school students wearing school uniforms and red scarves sang majestically and highly, and saw two adults sitting in a twisting car coming towards them, unable to sing, and they were all stunned!

"Now adults, so naΓ―ve."

"It's okay, just wait for them to grow up a little more."

The princess who heard this: ......

Ahh 】

……

"Hahaha...... The director really fought hard for the placement of advertisements. The little assistant was almost silly laughing.

Shen Zhenyi, who was resting halfway, blinked: "But the twisting car is really cool." ”

"You see, their childhood DNA has moved."

The little assistant turned around: "Poof! ”

Really!

The assistant director, photographer and other strong men lined up around the two twisting car props and enjoyed themselves.

Pull the steering wheel, drift instantly, and finish handsomely...... One will play better than the other.

What else can the little assistant say: "The quality of this little car is really good." "I always feel that it bears the unbearable weight of life.

And this scene fell in the eyes of another assistant on the periphery of the crew, which was: "??? ”

The set of the two crews is separated by two streets, and after Luo Jianzhou was filming, he asked the assistant to come over to spy on the "enemy situation".

And then his assistant was fascinated, oh my god, is this a serious set?

From the crew over there to the crew here, it's like two worlds.

Director Luo's crew always has more than one reporter waiting on the side, hoping to be lucky enough to dig up valuable news; The people of the capital also gave full play to their personality of watching the excitement, gathering densely on the lookers, and sometimes even affecting the operation of the crew; The filming process is also the roar of the locomotive, the chase and escape, the tension and excitement, the scene is so big that it is absolutely worthy of investment......

What about this side?

The reporter didn't even bother to glance at the crew; There are no big stars and big directors, and the crowd of onlookers is scattered; On the set, a group of big men are attacking a "5-year-old" toy car......

This TM is outrageous!

The assistant felt that he was spiking on the loneliness.

Is this "enemy situation" really worth spying? Or is this really an "enemy"?

After two casual turns, the assistant came back with "the king's contempt".

He reported to Luo Jianzhou: "It's confirmed, they are just a group of people who play tickets, and as far as the movie itself is concerned, they don't have any value." ”

Luo Jianzhou was speechless after listening to the report.

I always knew that the advantage was on me, but I didn't expect the other side to reach such a new height.

So, Senior Sister Shen, what are you trying to do?

……
