Chapter 550. Training Li Ruijun and Liu Tianxian, who is knowledgeable and reasonable, [two in one]
Zhangye, Gansu.
"It's so cold."
Sun Yi opened the curtain, walked into the house, and stomped his feet tremblingly.
"Yo, Director Sun Da is back, I haven't congratulated you on the success of the movie, it's a big hit at the box office." Gong Li was dressed in a coarse cotton jacket, sitting cross-legged on the kang head, looking at Sun Yi's eyes with a bit of playfulness, and holding a handful of melon seeds in his hand, which was clicking.
"Eh, Sister Li, Happy New Year's Day."
Sun Yi twitched his nose, which was a little red from the cold, and replied with a face.
"Thank you, director, I thought you forgot about this movie."
"How can I forget, no one dares to forget my sister Li."
"Heh, okay, I won't talk to you. How about it, are you done with everything over there, when will our movie be started? I'm in no problem with this state, and I think Renlin is about the same. Turn on the computer early, and I'm going to go abroad for a vacation during the Chinese New Year. ”
Gong Li flipped her palm, poured the remaining melon seeds back into the plate, clapped her hands, and asked very seriously.
Speaking of which, Gong Li has been experiencing life in this remote village for almost a month, and there are really not many directors who can make her treat her like this now.
Of course, Sun Yi admitted this feeling, he took Liu Yifei to run a few propaganda games in "Wings of the Sky", and after the army left the field and opened the group ticket mode, he ended his propaganda journey, and just after New Year's Day, he went all the way south to the northwest and returned here.
The box office is stable, and the rest of the publicity tasks are completed by the other leading actors of the crew.
Throughout December, it was basically "Wings of the Sky" that was dominant, and after the "People's Daily" review and then China Film's shot, the film scheduling rate accounted for one-third of the entire market, even "October Siege", which brought together the stars of Xiangjiang, did not get any benefit in his hands.
Up to now, more than half of the films have been released, and the box office has only exceeded 100 million.
Looking at this situation, it is almost impossible to reach the box office of 230 million in the previous life.
The same is true of "Three Guns", in addition to relying on Zhang Guoshi's godhead, which harvested a group of ignorant fans at the beginning of the movie's release, Zhang Weiping's several tosses did not splash a few splashes, and now the daily box office has basically stagnated, nationwide, that is, about 1 million results, just waiting for the expiration of the offline.
However, after all, it is Zhang Guoshi, who won the box office of 100 million in just the first wave of harvesting, although the final score of this movie cannot reach the 250 million in the previous life, but it is no problem to break 150 million.
For these, Sun Yi no longer cares, and what he is most concerned about now is not the box office of the movie, but the company's stock price.
The stock market is the real capital game.
A "Wings of the Sky" has made the stock price of Star International skyrocket, and it has been out of a one-word board for 5 consecutive trading days, with a market value of nearly 6 billion, and even Xiong Xiaoge called to congratulate him, which shows how crazy this capital game is.
When Xiao Tianxian heard this number, he was stunned, and his fingers were not enough, and he almost used his toes.
She is now a director of Xiao Liu, and she has 20% of the company's shares, so her net worth has directly increased by 1.2 billion, which is several times more than what she has earned after working hard for so many years.
The whole person was excited as if something was going on, which directly made Sun Yi experience what is the softness of a Jiangnan woman.
That's really, high legs, a word horse, not only dance skills, yoga skills are used, and the difficulty coefficient has directly risen several times.
Fortunately, Sun Yi kept himself and was not carried away by this false figure, the market value is for outsiders to see, and if it is not sold, it will never become real money.
Especially for film and television companies, a movie is a big hit, and the market value skyrockets, once the movie fails, the market value will plummet, so it's okay to be happy, just like the pleasure, it's good to go to the peak and reminisce, it will have to calm down sooner or later, and the key is to continue and stabilize the output, so that it can be unsettled and rise again and again.
Therefore, Sun Yi hurried back to the crew of "Hidden in the Dust" with his team, he still has big things to do during the New Year, what happened before the year, he had to finish the autumn and winter scenes of this movie.
Sun Yi sat on the kang, rubbed his hands, grabbed a handful of melon seeds, and asked Li Ruijun, who followed up.
"Ruijun, what's going on here, is my uncle's adaptation to the camera?"
"It's all arranged, my uncle-in-law can do it."
Li Ruijun still didn't like to talk like that, nodded, and then took out the shooting plan and handed it to Sun Yi for review.
Sun Yi looked through the melon seeds while munching on them.
Yes, the whole shooting plan is very detailed, accurate to how many scenes a day, what scenes, what props, how many group performances are used, and then the rest of the time is set aside accordingly in case of emergencies.
This is very necessary, making movies mainly depends on people, and people have good or bad states, otherwise Gong Li would not have come to experience a month's life in advance to get back to the state, besides, no matter how awesome a person is, if he gets sick, you won't be able to recruit it.
"Okay, yes, just shoot according to your plan, by the way, what is the weather tomorrow, how is the day, have you checked?"
"Oh, I've checked, the days are very good, suitable for booting, and the weather has light to moderate snow."
Sun Yi thought about it for a while, there was just a snow scene in the plan, but there was no need to make artificial snow, and he still thought that he participated in the filming of "Assembly Number" by director Feng Xiaogang for the snow scene, and he almost didn't poison him.
It's great to have natural snow.
As for the start-up date, Sun Yi doesn't have any feudal superstitions, auspicious times and auspicious days, this thing is a yellow calendar, who gets married, housewarming is not counted, just asking for a lottery, it is a traditional folk custom.
"Okay, that's right, start the camera directly tomorrow, and shoot that snow scene."
"Okay."
The next day, the weather forecast was rarely accurate, and fine small snowflakes were floating in the sky early in the morning, and by the time everyone was ready for the start-up ceremony, it was already white outside.
"I wish the movie a smooth start and a big box office hit."
"I wish the movie a smooth start and a big box office hit."
Under the light snow, Sun Yi led everyone to hold a brief start-up ceremony.
The villagers looked at the Western scenery one by one, and they didn't care if it snowed, they all gathered outside the crew to watch the excitement, and many aunts and aunts directly brought the little Mazha at home, wrapped in a cotton jacket, with a bag of peanuts and melon seeds or something, and they were happy to watch.
"Ladies and gentlemen, let one go, let one go, let the shooting venue come out, all cooperate, thank you."
After a while, the villagers were invited out of the filming site. Although he didn't go far, he still looked at the wall over there, but at least it didn't affect the shooting, in fact, it was mainly for his uncle's clear scene, according to Li Ruijun, although his uncle is not afraid of the camera now, but the villagers in this township are still embarrassed.
Therefore, Sun Yi is as good as a stream.
After completing the clearance, the crew finally checked the machine according to the division of labor, and then reported to Sun Yi.
Sun Yi sat in front of the monitor and nodded, and gestured to Li Ruijun with his eyes, the latter instructed, his face was flushed with excitement, and after swallowing a mouthful of saliva, he picked up the walkie-talkie and said loudly:
"All departments are ready, "Hidden in the Dust" officially started filming, and the scene notes are played."
"The first scene of "Hidden in the Dust" is the first shot, pop."
Sun Yi took the walkie-talkie and said lightly.
"Let's go."
Now Sun Yi is in the crew, he can shout whatever he wants, and it's okay to have a "go you", recently he feels that shouting "Action" is a bit boring, so he directly changed it all to Chinese, anyway, the crew can understand it.
As he gave the order, the scene began to move.
Wu Renlin walked out of the donkey shed, first squinted his eyes and looked up at the snowflakes in the sky, then put on his coat, his eyelids were half pulled, and he walked into the house with some reluctance.
Liu Jun controlled the camera and directly pushed a close-up shot, following Wu Renlin's footsteps.
The scene to be filmed today is the beginning of the film, the fourth child and Gui Ying met for the first time, and it was also a blind date meal for the two.
The camera followed directly to the house, Wu Renlin picked up his own dishes and chopsticks, took another steamed bun, sat next to Gui Ying, and didn't speak, just ate sullenly.
Gong Li next to her also lowered her head and held the bowl by herself, her eyes were straight, and she only looked at the dish closest to her, although it was a blind date between the two, but until this moment, they didn't look at each other.
Sun Yi nodded secretly, very good.
Next, it was the turn of the group actor to play the third brother of Ma Youtie, I saw him at the dinner table, saw the donkey in the donkey shed running into the yard, stood up directly and scolded and walked out.
"Alas, why did this plague-stricken donkey run into the yard again, this worthless one, how much he eats every day is not enough."
The actors are all special actors from local origins, and Li Ruijun is also in contact with the local dialect, focusing on a local accent.
Wu Renlin didn't say anything when he saw this scene, took a bite of the steamed bun, got up slowly, thought about his donkey, and walked out with him.
This Gui Ying's sister-in-law frowned and poked her and asked her to go to the toilet, so far, the male and female protagonists have appeared on the scene.
"Okay, pass!"
It's great.
Sun Yi slapped her hands and gave it directly, Sister Li played very steadily, although she had no lines, but when she asked her sister-in-law to go to the toilet quickly, her lips only squirmed and then recovered immediately, her head was not raised from beginning to end, and she bowed slightly when she stood up, and she sent Gui Ying under the fence, and she could only accept it to the fullest.
Wu Renlin's performance surprised Sun Yi even more, there was no strangeness in front of the camera, and the performance was very natural, or at this moment, he was no longer performing, or Ma Youtie was alive.
Just this scene, Sun Yi can determine that this movie will definitely not be worse than the previous life.
"Prepare for the next one, Ruijun, you can try."
Sun Yi stood up from the monitor and beckoned Li Ruijun over.
"Ah, Mr. Sun?"
Li Ruijun still couldn't believe it.
"Come if you want to come, I'll show you."
"Huh."
The next scene is not difficult, that is, Ma Youtie squatting in the yard and eating with the donkey.
Generally speaking, for directors, there are two kinds of headaches, one is an animal and a child.
The animal, as the name suggests, cannot understand the director's requirements and cannot control its behavior.
Children are even more so, they are energetic, they are crying and making trouble, they are not their own children, you can't beat or scold.
Fortunately, in the movie, this donkey is from the villager's family, and it has long been rented by the crew, Wu Renlin personally took care of it for a month, he had also raised a donkey at home before, and knew the temperament of this animal, so he got started quickly, and led the donkey directly according to the requirements.
On the contrary, Li Ruijun was a little unconfident in his first time in camera, to be precise, he was not confident in front of Sun Yi, a famous director, and he himself had made a film for practice before.
I saw him in the venue, repeatedly confirmed the location, communicated with Liu Jun, and then wanted to look at Sun Yi and ask for advice.
Sun Yi sat beside the monitor with his hands on his chest and Erlang's legs crossed, and shrugged his shoulders expressionlessly.
That means, you look at it, this shot, you are the director.
Li Ruijun hesitated for a while, and after confirming that there was no problem again, he bit the root of his teeth and gave the order to start filming.
With Sun Yi in charge to support him, no one in the crew pulled a moth, and acted in full accordance with Li Ruijun's orders.
The old man is also powerful, the snowflakes in the sky have become bigger, falling on a person and a donkey in the yard, the donkey is chewing grain, Wu Renlin is biting the steamed bun, the whole shot is inexplicably sad, and compared with the big fish and meat in the house full of a whole table in the last shot, it is full of irony.
"Okay, pass."
The shot was not long, Li Ruijun shouted "pass" and turned his head to look at Sun Yi, "Teacher Sun, what do you think of this mirror, is it still possible?"
Sun Yi raised his eyebrows, and there was a smile on his face, as if he had found a problem. He asked, "What do you think?" ”
Li Ruijun was suddenly a little nervous, wrinkled his brows, looked at the monitor again, and then his eyes flashed, for fear of missing something, he looked at it again, and finally replied with some unconfidence:
"Teacher Sun, I, I don't think there's a problem."
Hearing Li Ruijun's previous answer, Sun Yi was quite satisfied, but in the end, he was directly laughed at angrily.
Why do you need to add the word "bar"?
I'm so unconfident!
Huh.
Sun Yi had some hatred in his heart, and his tone was a little heavier.
"Then there is no problem, the frame shot is handled very well, the actors have also completed it according to the requirements, there is no problem with the snow, light, and live sound on the exterior, and the editing is a post-production thing, what else?"
When Li Ruijun was said, his face turned red.
If you look at it from the perspective of others, Sun Yi is now completely standing and talking without backache, and he is not aware of his status.
Don't talk about it now, now he has overturned Zhang Guoshi for a while with "Wings of the Sky", and even Zhang Guoshi himself regards him as a director of the same level in his heart.
Before that, at the age of 23, he won the second Cannes Palme d'Or in China, and with such a high box office result, there are also successful movies in Hollywood.
The director's profession is similar to that of a cultural person. It is also difficult to rank one, two, three, four, but awards, box office and audience reputation can be used as a reference.
Sun Yi's previous achievements are many directors who have been in the circle for many years and don't say it on the surface, but they sigh to themselves in their hearts, and they respect him very much.
Not to mention Li Ruijun, who is still a student of the directing department.
It's like when you just walked out of a university and went straight to the academician's laboratory, and then the academician abdicated and let Xian hand over his ongoing experiments to you, if you can be confident that the results of the experiment are correct, then it's weird.
There are a few hearts so big.
Sun Yi didn't expect this, but looking at Li Ruijun's performance, he also felt that it was a little too much, which was inconsistent with his original intention of exercising him, so he stood up, patted Li Ruijun on the shoulder, and said to him very solemnly:
"Ruijun, as a director, you must believe in yourself, in my opinion, your level is not bad at all, what you lack is experience."
Li Ruijun couldn't believe it when he heard this, he didn't know that in Sun Yi's heart, he actually recognized him so much, and his heart was full of blood, and he actually burst out with the feeling of "death for his confidant", and nodded fiercely with his lips tightened.
"Thank you, Mr. Sun, I understand."
"Well, okay, next shot, you come again."
Sun Yi didn't want to let him die, he just took a fancy to his directing ability, there are too many books in the company's script library, for his future and Xiao Nizi's shameless and shameless life, he must hurry up to let these directors mature and share the burden for him.
After me, I will have one film a year, and the rest of the time I will be tired of being with my fairy sister every day, and I will have a few more babies, and one mouth is a child's mother, how good it is.
In this way, with the connivance of Sun Yi, Li Ruijun picked up the guide tube, and some unimportant and simple scenes, including some pure location scenes and solo scenes, were all directed by Li Ruijun in front and Sun Yi in the back.
Facts have proved that Li Ruijun, who has been tested by later generations, does have two brushes, and the filming progress of joining the group has not been delayed, and the finished film has a very good effect.
Even when Gong Li chatted with Sun Yi in private, she also recognized Li Ruijun's directing ability, and felt that he was a very mature director.
The crew of "Hidden in the Dust" filmed in Zhangye for more than 20 days in a row, until all the winter scenes were filmed, and the autumn scenes were all completed except for the harvest scenes.
At the end of January, Sun Yi announced that the first phase of the entire Zhangye scene was over, the crew was on vacation, all the crew went home for the New Year, and waited for the second filming location to shoot the spring and summer scenes in the second filming location after the New Year.
Everyone packed their machine luggage, except for Li Ruijun and Wu Renlin, they all got on the plane back to the capital.
Their family is here, and they are directly at home for the New Year.
At No. 8 Xiaoyun Road, Sun Yi returned home with a body of dust.
Xiao Nizi is not at home, throughout January, she is busier than herself, three days and two ends of the running to CCTV, she was selected by this year's Spring Festival Gala preparation team, to perform for the people of the whole country in the Chinese New Year's Eve.
After doing a flight for most of the day, he was very tired, Sun Yi changed his clothes, took a bath, returned to the bedroom, got into the quilt, and took a nap.
I didn't expect this sleep, so I slept until dark.
After getting up, he found that there was still a glass of water at the head of the bed, and the corners of Sun Yi's mouth curled, knowing that it was Xiao Nizi who came back.
Walking out of the bedroom, the living room was brightly lit, there was a plate of fruit on the coffee table, Liu Yifei was lazily lying on the sofa and talking on the phone with someone, chatting quite hotly.
From Sun Yi's point of view, I can only see a white foot on the arm of the sofa, and a hand picking up a grape from the fruit bowl on the coffee table from time to time, and then there is the sound of grape skin "Phew" and "Phew".
"Hmm. Mom~ It's not that I don't go back to see you, I'm too busy now to have time. ”
"Oh, why isn't it your daughter~ Phew, phew."
"I, I eat grapes, spit out the skin, I really don't spit on you~"
"It has nothing to do with Sun Yi, I have to rehearse every day for the Spring Festival Gala, but I'm busy."
"Chinese New Year? I should go to his house, he told me before, hehe"
"Ah, I know, I know, how can any mother say this about her daughter? I'm a knowledgeable person, and no matter how good I behave, I'm sure they all like me, no problem. ”
Knowledgeable?
I can't help Xiao Nizi have such an adjective.
Isn't it as quiet as a virgin and moving like a crazy rabbit!
Sun Yi couldn't hold back, laughed out loud, and was directly discovered by Liu Yifei.
"Ah, you're awake! Mom, let's not talk about it yet, hang up. ”
Liu Xiaoli on the other end of the phone, listening to the blind sound in her ears, the corners of her mouth twitched twice inexplicably.
There was a sound of gnashing of teeth in the air.
This is still the daughter who has been brought up by herself for more than ten years, but it is the opposite of Tiangang, and she hasn't finished talking here, so she said that she will hang it!!
Back in the living room, Liu Yifei sat directly on the back of the sofa, and from Sun Yi's point of view, he poked out the pretty face that made him dream, and he was squinting at him, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"You eavesdrop!"
Sun Yi pursed his lips and smiled, walked over, directly put Xiao Nizi's legs in his arms, and sat on the sofa.
"I'm listening to it in the open."
The white and tender feet with bright red nail polish feel great.
Liu Yifei snorted dissatisfiedly at first, and then her feet naturally writhed in Sun Yi's palm, and asked with concern:
"How is the filming over there, I heard that in the village, the conditions are quite difficult."
"It's okay, it's going well, with Li Ruijun's help on the spot, I'm a lot more free."
"You're idle, I'm tired to death, I rehearse every day, and the director's team is still demanding, this can't work, that can't work, there can't be any mistakes at all."
Liu Yifei glanced at her lips and poured bitter water at Sun Yi.
Sun Yi understands very well, after all, it is the Spring Festival Gala, and the programs that more than a billion people around the world have to watch, it must be foolproof, and there can be no mistakes at all, so he simply comforted:
"Okay, stick to it, the most traditional festival of the Chinese, many people don't have a chance to go to it."
"I also know that you are back and complaining to you. By the way, have you missed me this month? ”
Sun Yi pretended to think for a while, and deliberately shook his head in Xiao Nizi's expectant gaze.
The next moment, a pillow grew bigger and bigger in Sun Yi's eyes.
It slammed into his head with precision.
Moving like a mad rabbit!!
Sun Yi didn't react at all.
"Haha, yes, you don't want me."
Xiao Nizi laughed as she raised one leg and dangled it in front of Sun Yi's eyes, with a provocative smile on her face.
"Good, good!"
Sun Yi smiled fiercely, grabbed it, and the situation suddenly reversed.
"Oops, don't scratch, it's itching to death, I was wrong, wrong......"
"Do you dare?"
"Don't dare~"
Liu Yifei shrunk her feet, knelt down on the sofa, put her hands on her knees, held her lips, and glanced at Sun Yi with big watery eyes.
It's all in plain sight.
This. I can't bear it anymore~
Dare to be so provocative, where is the husband, we must use some means, stick education!
