Chapter 35: Teachers Help Each Other
During the same period, the trainees gave face, but not much, and there were many requirements. Haisheng was extremely disappointed. Back in his position, he was going to find his friend Jiang Dawei to think of a way, but he was shy in his pocket, how could he speak!
It's hard to make "God of Food" die halfway, and wait until next year when you have the money to shoot it. This year's Spring Festival stalls had to be let go, and when he was fundraising, the teacher asked him to go to the office, and the training class teacher Liu Fanggang was invited.
Haisheng came to the teacher's office, and immediately greeted someone when he saw him: "Hello director, do you have something to do with me?" ”
"Sit, to tell you the truth, I have taught so many students, and you are the most special one. In more than three months, he learned the theoretical knowledge thoroughly and his performance reached a certain level. What is commendable is to have a heart to move forward! Liu Fanggang treated him warmly.
"Thank you, Director, for the compliment! It's all because of your good teaching, and the teachers who spared no effort to guide me, so that I can get good grades, and you are the biggest contributors! ”
"Ha, haha...... You little guy is better at playing official than we are! Liu Fanggang laughed, and the teachers in the office also laughed.
Haisheng continued to be modest: "Just tell the truth! ”
"Okay, let's get down to business, I heard that you are going to make a movie at your own expense, how much money are you going to invest?"
"There are only more than 400,000 yuan, and the small cost can't get into the eyes of the director, everything is difficult at the beginning, and I didn't expect it to be so difficult to form a crew. It's hard to find actors, and there are no behind-the-scenes personnel. Haisheng complained.
Liu Fanggang was surprised: "400,000 is still less!" I think when I first debuted, it only cost tens of thousands of dollars to make a movie. Nowadays, the cost of Shaw Brothers movies is only that much. Some of them are even worse than your investment, don't be presumptuous! ”
"Director Xie encourages!"
"Is there a script, can you show me?"
"Of course, I'll put it in the classroom, so I'll go get it!" Hai Sheng left the office, returned after a while and took a stack of scripts and handed them to the head teacher.
Liu Fanggang carefully browsed, the handwriting on the script was clear and neat, the story framework was clear, the main and supporting roles had specific descriptions, and the lines were clear, this was a complete script.
After reading it, he sighed: "It's rare that in just over three months, I have written such a complete script, which has surpassed most students." It's a bit interesting for me to read the story, let's talk about the difficulties in preparing for the crew? ”
"There are not enough supporting roles, there is no venue, there is no behind-the-scenes, and even the shooting machine has not yet landed. Only the male and female protagonists, some supporting roles, and I also prepared movie interludes, soundtracks, and theme songs. Haisheng counted the preparations of the crew.
Liu Fanggang glanced at him and said with a smile: "Everything is really difficult at the beginning, are you sure to invest so much money and make movies at your own expense?" You are still a student, although you are excellent in all aspects, but you have not crawled in society, and you may not know much about film and television. The actual situation will be very different from what you imagined, you think you will make an excellent movie, but the audience may not buy it, the box office is bleak, all your investment will be wasted, 400,000 is not a small amount, think about it! ”
Haisheng nodded: "I firmly believe that an excellent movie will be made." Of course, there are risks in everything you do, and it is possible to pounce on the first film before you succeed, but I will not be decadent because of the failure of a movie. Big deal to come back next year! ”
"Good boy, you have great courage! If you can trust us teachers, we will help you prepare the crew to rent equipment. Even a cameo in some roles! What do you think? Liu Fanggang stood up excitedly and said.
Haisheng thanked him directly: "Thank you, director, thank you, teachers!" ”
"Don't rush to thank you, it's conditional. The trainees of each training class have an internship period after graduation, but they may not be able to get good resources, and most of them are slowly honing their skills. Or as a host on an unimportant TV show. You are sincere in making movies and are willing to give your classmates the opportunity to intern, and of course we fully support you. It's a great opportunity to teach while making a movie. The combination of theory and practice can allow students to truly master film and television knowledge, do you understand what I said? Liu Fanggang asked calmly.
Haisheng replied: "I understand what you mean, director, you help me build a crew and teach while making movies." ”
"That's right, that's what I meant. The wireless training class has been held for more than ten years, and it is rare for students to make movies at their own expense, and we will fully support you, but it also plays an auxiliary role. The quality of the film has to be controlled by yourself, and if you don't like it, the chances of your "God of Food" pounce are quite high. ”
Hai Sheng smiled: "The film hasn't been shot yet, it's too early to draw conclusions." I still say the same thing, winning or losing is mine, and the director and teachers are willing to support, and I am very grateful. Regardless of the box office? Both you and the teachers will be paid. ”
"Hehe, forget the salary. Those of us who are teachers also hope that the students can be successful. When you get ahead, the teacher's face will shine. Now that the words have been clarified, I will leave this script with me, and I will have a meeting with the other teachers to discuss it. Once you have a conclusion, I will consult with you. Liu Fanggang gently patted the script in his hand.
"No problem!" Haisheng left the teacher's office with a smile on his face.
After school in the afternoon, the director left him behind to discuss the preparation of "God of Food". The teachers unanimously expressed their support for Haisheng to make films at his own expense, but making movies is not child's play, and it affects the whole body.
The teacher wants to see Haisheng's sincerity, and at least take out 200,000 yuan and hand it over to Director Liu. As a fee for renting equipment to contact the venue. Of course, there is detailed data for each expense, and it will be signed by Haisheng before it is spent.
How much money Haisheng takes, Director Liu will make a receipt, and he will not hack the students' money for no reason, and talk about other details when he sees the money, no money is just empty talk.
Haisheng agreed, promising to bring the money the next day. The impromptu meeting was dissolved on the spot, and many teachers praised Haisheng for his boldness and dared to make films at his own expense before he graduated. 400,000 is not a small amount, and many teachers don't have that much savings.
Huang Zhan, Sun Jiawen advised him to think twice, and being rich is not so bad. Haisheng thanked him and went home, talked to Tian Xing, and said his idea of making a movie.
Tian Xing is really obedient to Haisheng, saying that worship is not exaggerated, and the Tian family can live a good life, all because of Haisheng. Haisheng agreed to do whatever he wanted, and the money was in Haisheng's house, and he could take it for himself as much as he wanted.
Haisheng said that he wanted to keep accounts, and he had a detailed account of how much he took. The next day, I took 250,000 and put it in the trunk of the motorcycle. Ride to the intersection where the Blue Maiden often passes.
He came a little early, and Lan Jieying was not late. In the past, there was a car to pick her up and tow, but then it was gone, so she could only squeeze the bus, so she naturally had to go to the station early to wait.
Today, when I turned the corner and came to the intersection, I saw a familiar figure, squatting there eating steamed buns and soy milk. Subconsciously ran over and wanted to rummage through the trunk to get food. You can stop halfway through. Slowly changed direction and walked towards the station.
