A small job of 50,000 yuan, provided by Huang Yang, a classmate of Zhuying Factory.

Du Keke excitedly recounted the twists and turns of the first business of 4D Studio.

A record company in Hong Kong needs 12 videos of beautiful swimsuits, each of which is five minutes, and the model cannot repeat it, and the contract price is 50,000 yuan.

Su Changqing knows this kind of video very well, the karaoke in the mid-to-late nineties is full of sweat, the quality is uneven, and with the lyrics, it is the simplest and most popular MTV.

Such a price could not be done on Hong Kong Island, so someone in Guangzhou took the order.

The person who took the order didn't want to put in the effort to do this, so he gave another 45,000 yuan to two packs, which was also a conscientious price.

However, no one in Guangzhou was willing to do it, and the list was transferred to Huang Yang, but the price was only 30,000.

According to the market, when I arrived at the four-dimensional studio, I changed at least seven or eight hands.

Isn't it just a few videos, how can it be so complicated, Su Changqing's intuition is not quite right, and his enthusiasm gradually cools down as the story progresses: "So it is called 50,000, but in fact it is only 30,000?"

Du Keke shrugged: "Actually, it's only twenty-seven, and the kickback of Huangyang can't be less, he said no, do you believe it?"

Believe it or not, the money that should be given must be given, otherwise there will be no next time.

In the blink of an eye, half of the money was left, and Su Changqing flipped through the specific shooting requirements faxed by Huang Yang: "Let's see if we can do it first, if there is meat, everyone will share it, and if it is a bone, we can't gnaw it." ”

The investor's production requirements are not many, but they are very strict, and everything can be understood after sweeping it down.

With the handover approaching, Hong Kong record companies need a set of mainland-style videos, specifying that models must appear in famous venues in Beijing, and the more regional elements can be reflected, the better.

If you want to shoot these, of course, you have to come to Beijing, food, housing, transportation and find models are all problems, and if you are not careful, you will lose money.

Su Changqing's brows furrowed: "It's not appropriate to let swimsuit models hang in front of the Forbidden City, the White Pagoda, and the Temple of Heaven, and climbing the Great Wall with a bare stripe is even more wrong." ”

Du Keke tilted his head: "It's a bit difficult to shoot these, but it's not impossible to get up early in the morning." ”

", it's not a question of whether or not you can shoot it, the other party still wants squares, statues, slogans, red flags and other elements, the mentality is obviously not very healthy, God knows if they will edit it again in the later stage, let's not be stupid to poke out the basket." ”

Du Keke hesitated a little: "No, aren't you too sensitive?"

"There are some things that we have to be conscious of, and we can't get used to the bad tastes of some people. ”

"And the temperature. Su Changqing pointed to the clothes on the two of them: "Shooting swimsuits is inseparable from water, the other party requires the whole process to be outdoors, now that the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed for half a month, how can Beijing shoot beautiful women playing in the water?"

"There must be brave women under the heavy reward, this is not a big problem, the key is what kind of scenery is appropriate. ”

Of course, Su Changqing didn't want to let go of the business that had come hard, so he made a decision immediately: "I'll write a proposal overnight, finalize the details with the other party, and at the same time you also calculate the cost, although there is less cost, but actors, makeup, camera, lighting and rental equipment venues all have to spend money, especially a suitable swimming pool, you may have to find a big hotel to rent." ”

Du Keke sighed: "Good things are not our turn for the time being, this project is better than nothing, I'll settle the account first." ”

Su Changqing nodded: "As long as you don't lose money, you can do it, maybe the two of us don't make money, but don't lighting artists, makeup artists, actors and other people make money, and it can be regarded as a cohesion of the team." ”

"You can also earn word of mouth. ”

"Don't think about word-of-mouth, we don't know how many hands have been contracted, and this kind of work is not signed, unless it can be auctioned to amaze the market. ”

"Then let's go to the stunning, I don't believe that two professional directors can't make a few MVs. ”

"Estimate the difficulties fully, it is not easy to find twelve swimsuit models, not only must you be in good shape, but you must also be able to face the camera generously, it is best to know the water, landlubbers are stupid when they go into the water, and they are very dull to shoot. ”

"Let's have dinner first, and celebrate with two drinks anyway. ”

At the dinner table, as soon as Dad Du heard that it was a swimsuit, he emphasized twice: "What kind of thing is this, now you know that our Peking Opera is an elegant art, right?"

That's right, let Tsing Yi Hua Dan play at three o'clock in the sound of gongs and drums, and ticket holders are not allowed to have a few cerebral hemorrhages on the spot.

But......

Su Changqing thinks this idea is not bad, maybe take the opportunity to shoot swimsuits and have a pioneering attempt?

The knife and horse dan draped all over the body, the heavy makeup and heavy color of Tsing Yi, a fierce man plunged into the water, and when he came out, the water spirit head makeup was still the same, but there were only three points left in the whole body......

Belly pockets or something......

Then chant and do ...... in the water

Soft light, montage, stream of consciousness, all the tricks that can be used are used, and the fragrance is weird, which must be shocking in this era.

However, if this is really filmed, it is likely to be beaten out of the door by Dad Du, who is from a martial arts background.

After the meal, the two began to get busy, and Su Changqing wrote a very detailed shooting plan, even wrote the specific storyboard, and transferred Party A's requirements.

It's okay to highlight the beauty of the model, but it's best to separate the specific logo landscape from the swimsuit through a simple plot and avoid being in the same shot.

He didn't think that those self-righteous guys on Hong Kong Island would read a few pages of reports for a mere project of tens of thousands of dollars, and that he had been in contact with Hong Kong filmmakers in college, and his sense of superiority was so strong that people were stunned.

Du Coco took on the role of producer, spending a few hours on the budget.

In the middle of the night, when the moon was in the sky, the two met in the courtyard.

Su Changqing didn't dare to take Du Keke into the room, Du's father would explode, and there was really a bloody silver gun in his room.

There is basically no objection to the shooting plan, and the budget is very tight, so Du Keke deleted the photographer: "Who of us who is a director can't shoot, such a simple job can be done by ourselves, and adding a photographer is a big expense." ”

This is also true, it is easy for directors and photographers to switch identities, Zhang Yimou and Gu Changwei are both from photography.

The girls brought their own costumes, swimsuits Du Keke went to buy, and costumes and props were also saved.

As for the lighting, Du Keke also has a point: "It's relatively simple to shoot this lamp position for fixed lighting, let's rent equipment to light by ourselves, this is manual work, and when the time comes, just hire three or five small workers to help carry the equipment." ”

The irreplaceable is the makeup artist, no matter how beautiful the model is, it is not the same as being photogenic, especially when entering the water, the face is blue when it comes out in the big autumn, and there is no good makeup artist to remake Journey to the West Spider Spirit Play in the water.

The filming is roughly divided into two phases, the first stage of the location, you have to rent a station wagon, pull equipment and pull people, and you have to take at least three girls to run three places every day, so that you can come down in four days of shooting.

The second stage is to shoot the pool into the water, and now the swimming pool in the big hotel is empty, and it is easy to rent, but it takes two days for all 12 people to shoot it.

Su Changqing heard this and added a third stage: "Taking this kind of photo requires a lot of close-ups, neck to back, chest to lower abdomen, thighs, and buttocks are indispensable, the weather is so cold, how to shoot goosebumps all over the body after going into the water in the outdoor pool?"

He gestured: "So I have to shoot indoors for a day or two, just set up a scene, and it looks like it's by the pool." ”

Du Keke thought for a while: "This is also true, no matter how beautiful a girl is, she can't stand the cold water soaking, and she will definitely be exposed in her true form." ”

She sighed after writing and drawing: "In the later stage, we will cut it ourselves, and people will use it as mules, and there will not be much money left after it is finished, about two or three thousand, it depends on whether there are any unexpected expenses." ”

Su Changqing's parents have more than 4,000 life savings, and it seems like a lot to earn these for the first time, but the investment in film and television is often millions, which belongs to the business of eating a full meal and starving for three years, and a few thousand yuan is indeed a drizzle.

"We are moving bricks now, and we are real estate developers. Su Changqing also sighed: "If you can make money after seven or eight hands, it shows that we are good and cheap, if the other party agrees to today's plan, then we have to start looking for a girl." ”

"I hope it goes well. ”

"You said let's go to the dance academy to pick a girl," Du Keke looked at the moon and thought, "Will it be blasted out?"
