……

Tang Guo,

Taicheng,

The crew of "Curse" has been set to be used as a filming location in a rental house.

As the director, Lu Zhengyi, and Zhang Yu, the assistant director, are looking at several actors in front of them, and through simple conversations, they play with each other.

They read the script before filming.

Generally at this point, the list of shots is basically selected.

Rarely, during the reading phase, there will be temporary substitutions.

"Ruonan, I think you should be more ...... Chu Chu is a little pitiful. ”

Chang Zhengwei took the script in his hand and reminded softly, "You are too deliberate to express that bitter and cold image." ”

"Just imagine, in the face of such an aggressive image of you, will people pity you, pity your children, and accompany you for the so-called 'blessing'?"

"No matter how deep your understanding of this character is, I think you should still focus on the weak appearance, and as for what kind of person you are inside, that's what the audience should speculate."

His role is Chen Letong's adoptive father, and he occupies a very important part of the plot.

"Understand, often ...... I mean, Xie Qiming. ”

Yu Wenxiu seems to have not experienced this kind of serious reading crew for a long time, and he seems a little unaccustomed.

"By the way, I suddenly remembered that Ruo Nan had no experience in making movies before, right?"

Zhang Yu opened his mouth suddenly.

“…… Yes. ”

Yu Wenxiu replied, "But micro-movies have still been filmed." ”

"That's different."

Zhang Yu waved his hand, "The difference between micro-movies and movies is quite big. ”

"Maybe when you were filming online dramas and TV series before, the director would be used to letting you show all your understanding of the character, in those twenty-four episodes or thirty-six episodes, forty-eight episodes of the plot."

"Whether it is the external image or the inner psychology, it is expressed for the audience to understand."

"But the movie is different, the movie is only about two hours long, and it can't be conveyed to the audience at one time."

"So in this case, the actor must not only be able to act, but also be able to hide."

"Properly hiding the real hearts of the characters, and only expressing them simply in the details, this is also the difference between good and bad movies, obviously the same content, but good movies can always allow the audience to interpret completely different plots from different angles."

Obviously, they are only two-hour movies, but some of the movie content contains enough details to make the audience spend days pondering.

"I should have learned this."

Yu Wenxiu listened and felt a little familiar.

She began to recall what she had learned in school.

But that was 10 years ago.

In the past ten years, if you don't need to apply this knowledge in your work, you must have forgotten it a long time ago.

"Learning and applying it are two different things." Zhang Yu was not satisfied with this answer, "If you think about it more, I think that with your deductive experience, you should be able to do better." ”

Yu Wenxiu nodded silently.

The seriousness of this crew gave her a sense of freshness.

However, in addition to this novelty, she was also a little puzzled that Lu Zhengyi, who was sitting next to Zhang Yu, never spoke.

Now, Zhang Yu is completely a director, guiding their work.

But as a real director, Lu Zhengyi is a little silent.

The script was read throughout the whole process, and there was almost no opening.

And looking at him, it seems that he is also listening and learning carefully, not talking...... Distracted.

Next to him, Li Zhenxi was also a little puzzled by this kind of situation where the assistant director crossed the director.

"As for that, Letong."

Zhang Yu looked at Liu Baoning again, and similarly, he used her name in the play during the reading.

"You acted very well and acted very naturally."

"I think you're probably the best kid I've ever seen in all my years on the set."

"Your future, I ...... Director Lu and I are very optimistic. ”

He did not hesitate to praise his children.

However, in terms of expression, Zhang Yu still gave Lu Zhengyi, a genuine director, enough face.

"I'll answer the phone, you continue."

Lu Zhengyi didn't care about this, but his phone rang.

"It should be the thing of "Old Corpse in the Mountain Village"."

He glanced at the caller's name and whispered a word to Zhang Yu.

"Speaking of which, it looks like it was released yesterday."

Speaking of "The Old Corpse in the Mountain Village", Zhang Yu remembered that the theater time of this movie has come to an end.

This is really the first time.

Obviously, the period of release of a movie is a crucial moment, and in the past, any crew he has been in has been staring at the box office data wholeheartedly at this stage.

That is, Lu Zhengyi, the director, is more special, he didn't watch it, and directly started preparing for the next movie.

"Go ahead, I'll leave it here."

Zhang Yu replied to him.

At the end, he added, "The camera is shooting the content of the reading, and you can watch it later." ”

He also remembered that the young man was studious.

Lu Zhengyi smiled and gestured gratefully, and got up to answer the phone.

"Congratulations, Director Lu."

"With a box office of 8.3 million, I think you've been happy all night, right?"

"How's the talk with the online screening copyright of the Green Apple platform?"

Zhang Xueming's voice with a smile sounded from the mobile phone, "I have provided this after-sales service, and I have picked out the best platform for you to promote the plan." ”

"As for the price, it depends on your ability."

The box office of "The Old Corpse of the Mountain Village" is only 8.3 million.

For the Tang film industry, this box office is definitely pitifully low.

If the lowest ticket price is 30 yuan, the box office of more than 8 million means that the number of viewers of this movie during the release period is only about 270,000.

And the population of the entire Tang State is 1.4 billion people.

But if you think about it from the perspective of horror films, from the perspective of production costs, "Old Corpse in the Mountain Village" is a success.

Because the lower limit of the Tang Kingdom's horror film career is too low.

Up to now, the horror film that can exceed 10 million at the theater box office is still a big bad movie with traffic stars gathered two years ago.

Especially in the previous year, the theater box office basically fluctuated at the level of 100,000 to 5 million.

And the production cost of these films is either 10 million or 20 million.

The special effects are the same as not asking for money, they burn badly.

Those investors, one by one, loses more than the other.

This also led to the production of horror films, from five the year before to only two the previous year, and the output is really a day and a place compared with other types of films.

So how much did "The Old Corpse of the Mountain Village" cost to make?

Four hundred and thirty thousand.

Most of them are the actors' salaries, the labor costs of the crew, then the camera equipment for shooting, then the props, costumes......

And even if you add the back, the cost of the finale banquet, post-publicity, and distribution is only at the level of 1.5 million.

The actors in their entire movie are all new faces with relatively low salaries.

Hell, please be really, you don't need to pay for the most expensive special effects production in horror movies.

This production cost is compared to the box office, but it is not just a profit.

Later, there can be network copyright, advertising, ...... A wide variety of ways to earn.
