Seeing off the three of them, Li Xianyun returned to the room and said with a smile: "Come out, you did a good job this time." ”

Three ghosts appeared in front of Li Xianyun in a flash.

Before Ren Zhi and them came, Li Xianyun had already explained to them, and he had rehearsed in advance, and finally although these three ghosts had different temperaments, they still knew how to cooperate.

But after the cooperation was over, the starving ghost Jin Gui said: "I also want to be paid!" ”

"And me!" Zhang Yan said.

Xu Liangshan couldn't speak, he controlled the teacup and nodded wildly, but unfortunately there was water in the cup, and he directly urinated on Li Xianyun's pants.

"What's the use of you asking for money? Can I take it out and spend it? Li Xianyun jumped angrily, damn, his pants were all wet.

"I'm going to eat." Jin Gui replied.

"You can't get enough to eat."

"Then eat it too." Jin Gui was stunned.

Li Xianyun thought for a while and said, "Three meals a day will be given to you." ”

"Not enough."

"Well done and snacks."

"Yes!" Jin Gui nodded.

Li Xianyun looked at Zhang Yan again, and Zhang Yan bared her teeth: "Be happy!" ”

I rub it, it's really a merry ghost who wants to be amorous after he dies.

"No way!" Li Xianyun righteously refused.

"Givenchy." Zhang Yan changed her words.

Do you still want Givenchy?

Yes, this is an obsession, and it has nothing to do with how much. If Zhang Yan was still alive, she might still want Hermes, Gucci, Dior, but now she is a ghost, and Givenchy has become her obsession.

A Givenchy forbidden kiss, the cheapest is two or three hundred.

Li Xianyun said: "One branch a week." ”

Zhang Yan nodded.

Li Xianyun looked at the old man and the ghost.

Xu Liangshan didn't speak, but suddenly pulled Jin Gui over and beat him violently, directly beating Jin Gui to a weak state.

Get.

That's his salary.

Li Xianyun looked at the old man and ghost: "Beat it once a week?" ”

The old man shook his head and held up three fingers.

"Once every three days?"

The old man nodded.

Jin Gui shouted wildly: "No! ”

Li Xianyun said to the starving ghost: "Give you additional meals, add three meals for every beating." ”

"Ten meals, seafood, I love salmon!" Jin Gui shouted.

I'm even picky about eating.

Li Xianyun: "Five meals, including one meal of salmon, no more than 200 grams. ”

Now poor, Li Xianyun said that I have to be forced.

"Deal!" The starving ghost is helpless, you are the master, your boss!

That's all the wages of the three ghosts.

The next step is to change the script and make a plan, preferably to use the previously shot shots, which poses a great difficulty to the script revision.

For this reason, Li Xianyun looked at the content that had been filmed, and repeatedly compared what could be retained, which could not, and how to modify it according to the existing content.

Compared with before, Li Xianyun can be said to be extremely easy to make a script this time.

You must know that movies are the product of teamwork, and each position has its own role and plays a different effect.

Take the script as an example, although the script is written by the screenwriter, in fact, the producer, director, actor and producer all have a certain say in the script, and then the thinking is still different.

When the screenwriter writes the script, he considers two things: first, the story is good-looking. Second, the characters are brilliant.

The producer's requirements for the script are from an operational point of view, for example: I know a boss over there who can give us a free venue. You can't use this hospital scene now, you change it to a dental clinic for me...... Ren Zhi has done this.

The director's perspective on the script is based on the picture, for example: If you can tell a story with the picture, don't use lines, and a big gold watch will appear at the beginning. I asked to come up and show up...... Rong Dasheng has done this.

The producer's perspective on the script is from the investor, for example: the investor wants to advertise his brand, and your core prop has to be changed. Our investors are handbag dealers, and yes, this savior has to be a handbag. What do I care about how your handbag can save the world? That's something you have to think about...... A bunch of people have done this kind of thing.

The actor's perspective on the script is based on his own needs, such as: this character is too bad and not good for my image. I don't care if you're playing a villain? What happened to Daji? There must be a bright spot, give me a change...... A bunch of big guys have done it.

This is only from the perspective of location, everyone also has their own artistic creation concept, personality, style, different views and pursuits of things. There is no way to literature, don't care if you understand it or not, you can get a few blind words and poke a few sentences when you get the script.

That's not enough, sometimes you have to consider the need for awards, so you have to be warm, to heal, to have special humanistic care, to philosophical thinking, to sublimate the theme!

This is also going to be that, do you want to pile up shit?

Therefore, the screenwriter is the contrary, there are few technical professions such as finance, taxation, forensic and programmer that no one can poke casually - the threshold is high, if you don't understand, you don't understand, and what you will get in exchange for is "You know a J, 8".

In short, the result is that the screenwriters compromise with these countless demands.

Eventually, when you've satisfied everyone, the script is reduced to mediocrity.

But on the other hand, as a mass product, a movie is a high-input product, and it is itself striving to be responsible for the largest number of people, so the real commercial film is precisely grinded out in this way - most of the top commercial blockbusters are mediocre in terms of scripts, but they can sell well, just because they are here to meet the needs of most people.

And to meet the needs of the majority, it has to be simple.

Only simplicity is unified!

So it's not that screenwriters can't write good stories, but because of the continuous weakening of this kind of demand, the level of scripts has dropped again and again, while film and commercialization itself are improving.

So the viewers scolded the story for being terrible, and at the same time entered the theater one after another, and at the same time couldn't figure out why it took a year to polish such a mediocre story, but they didn't know that behind those mediocrities, there were countless concessions, compromises and balance considerations.

So it can also be understood that this is a necessary price, but it is always the screenwriter who is unlucky - as the party who is sacrificed, it is others who are achieved, and they are the ones who are scolded.

This time, Li Xianyun himself is the producer, producer, producer and director, there is no big coffee to give him advice, and he doesn't have to think about the big market, so the script is highly relaxed and efficient, it only took one day to complete the first draft, and then it is self-supervision and revision, try to look at the script from different angles.

This depends on the individual's self-awareness ability, and those with strong self-awareness ability have the highest efficiency and the best effect when doing it alone.

If you don't have a strong self-awareness, you will immediately become shit without the help of others - other people's opinions can help you or lead you crookedly.

I was working hard to revise it today, and suddenly the phone rang.

It was Jiang Mei'er who called.

"Screenwriting teacher, I heard that you are going to take over the crew?" Jiang Meier got straight to the point.

"Well, yes, how do you know?" Li Xianyun asked.

"Ren Zhi came over and said that he wanted to leave some people, but because he had to change the script, he couldn't start filming for the time being, and he wanted to make an appointment with us for reshooting. I heard that you took the plate, so I wanted to ask about it. ”

Li Xianyun said with a smile: "Promise him, the script should be changed soon, and then filming will start directly." ”

"Then all the shots taken before were wasted?"

"Hmm, I'm trying to find a way to keep some, especially that Zhang Yao, who is also a star, and keeping her footage is also a bit of a publicity effect, raising some grades." Li Xianyun said with a headache while looking at the camera.

The rest of the crew is easy to change, but the actors are the most troublesome.

Jiang Mei'er said: "Zhang Yao is unwilling to continue acting, have you ever thought about finding someone else to replace her?" I mean use a stand-in. ”

"Huh? What do you mean? ”

Jiang Meier said: "Zhang Yao wants to breach the contract, and it stands to reason that he will return all the money." But she definitely won't take the initiative to give, and the lawsuit is time-consuming, I was thinking, if I can find a stand-in to play her role, on the condition that she doesn't have to return the salary, maybe it's a solution. ”

Other actors don't have much money, few roles, and no fame, so they will be changed, and the key is Zhang Yao.

This woman had already received half of her salary before, and she didn't want to return the money, and she didn't want to act in the play, which was a trouble. If she can replace her with someone else, it is indeed a way.

"Where can you find someone like this?" Li Xianyun asked.

It's easy to replace hands and naked, if you want to be able to replace your face, what else do you need actors to do?

Jiang Mei'er gritted her teeth: "What do you think of me?" ”

Well?

Li Xianyun was stunned.

But if you think about it, Jiang Meier and Zhang Yao are really similar in appearance, plus makeup and magic to make up for it, it really can't be done, you can add a plot, the heroine was injured and did a little facial repair......

There are always more solutions than difficulties.

Li Xianyun understood: "Do you want to participate?" ”

"Hmm." Jiang Meier smiled: "Actually, who doesn't have a dream of being an actor?" ”

Li Xianyun smiled: "You make a look, shoot a video, I'll see if it's okay." ”

"Huh!" Jiang Meier excitedly agreed.

Two hours later, Jiang Meier sent a video of her lines, not to mention, she is really highly similar to Zhang Yao.

The lines are also said in a good way, although the acting skills are not very good, but with good training, it shouldn't be a big problem.

This made Li Xianyun very satisfied: "I think that the key is that in this way, my script is also easy to do." ”

Not all actors have to leave, but because Zhang Yao is the leading actor, she will move her whole body as soon as she leaves.

Now that Zhang Yao's matter has been solved, many troubles in the future have also been solved.

Li Xianyun immediately called Zhang Yao and directly said that she could not pursue her liability for breach of contract, but her remaining scenes would be completed by a stand-in in her name, and Zhang Yao must authorize permission, and then take a day to make up some of the shots, without filming in a haunted house.

If you don't agree, I'll send you a video from last time.

As soon as Zhang Yao heard that she didn't want to return the money by herself, as long as she cooperated for a day, she immediately agreed, and asked the video to be deleted by the way.

One big problem was solved, and there are countless smaller ones left.

At this time, Ren Zhi's role came out, as an old man in the film and television industry, he was indeed familiar with this aspect.

So in the following days, Li Xianyun and Ren Zhi discussed the script and specific shooting together.

Occasionally, Li Xianyun will also consult Rong Dasheng, asking Rong Dasheng to give guidance on the lens, help him draw storyboards together, and participate in post-editing, on the condition that he will not be held accountable for breach of contract, and he can also add his name Rong Dasheng after the director.

Rong Dasheng raised eight fingers: 5,000 yuan.

Li Xianyun agreed.

That's it, rookie director Li Xianyun, Li Da writer, screenwriter, producer, producer, and investor, started his first film shooting preparations.

It took Li Xianyun three days to finally change the script and named it "Ghost Battle in the Secret Room".

Super low name, but that's what commercial movies want.

The point title, there are secret rooms and ghosts, which is the core of the selling point of this movie.

Ren Zhi also wanted to call it "Female Ghost vs. Organ House", but Li Xianyun rejected it, and you are too low.

At the same time, Ren Zhi also tried his best to persuade Yang Enjun and others to continue to participate in the shooting, so that the available materials for the original shooting increased again, and then a group of technicians were replaced.

Next, it's time to turn it on.

Before the start of filming, Li Xianyun made a rule: because this shooting uses high-tech means, including holographic projection technology, magnetic restraint and other means, which involve commercial secrets, no one is allowed to inquire, and at the same time, mobile phones are not allowed to shoot on site, and a confidentiality agreement for the whole process of shooting must be signed.
