1979 Golden Age

A director's skill is probably composed of three aspects: thought, technique, and aesthetics. Thought determines height, technique determines watchability, and aesthetics determines visual effect.

Many directors have thoughts, but their techniques are not enough to express their thoughts; others have techniques, but their thoughts cannot keep up.

There is also a new type in the future, who has nothing, but they understand the market, which is amazing! This cannot be called a director, but a film product manager, such as Chen Sicheng.

And what is Wang Jing?

He has basic aesthetics, all the techniques are stolen, and his thoughts are listened to by the boss. He is like the director of an assembly line workshop, who can make the crew run smoothly and quickly, save costs, not lose money to the boss, and can also produce works above the passing line.

"Happy Death Day" was filmed for a few days, and American actors all saw Wang Jing's skills.

The shots were brushed and the progress was creaking, which made them unsure, fearing that the finished film would be a pile of rubbish. But Wang Jing was very confident, OK! It won't be a bad film.

On this day, in the rented studio.

It was arranged to look like an abandoned church, with a wooden staircase winding up and debris all over the floor.

A guy named Clancy Brown joined the crew.

He was less than 30 years old, 191cm tall, with a big waist and a beard, and a fierce face.

He has played villain supporting roles in Hollywood for decades. He is not famous himself, but his works are very famous, such as "The Shawshank Redemption", "Starship Troopers", "Sleepy Hollow", "Warcraft", etc.

At this time, Brown was still a rookie, and the pay was low, so he was asked to play the villain.

The heroine of "Happy Death Day" is a growing type, and her image is established little by little in the cycle. She was looking for the murderer who killed her, and mistakenly thought that a serial killer was the murderer. She finally killed the other party, but she was killed again.

In the end, she found out that the real murderer was her roommate.

This scene is the section where the heroine fights the murderer.

"Ready! Ready!"

"Action!"

Brown slammed the door open and walked into the warehouse. Phoebe rushed out from behind the door, holding a crowbar, and hit him on the head, knocking him to the ground, and then smashed him again.

"OK!"

"Next scene!"

The next scene started quickly, and Phoebe stopped suddenly when she was about to poke his eyes.

Because of the previous plot, the male protagonist had been killed by this murderer in order to protect her. If Phoebe killed him, time would not be circulated (she thought), and the male protagonist would really die.

This is why the female protagonist became likable in the later period.

In order to revive the male protagonist, she stopped and ran up the stairs suddenly.

Originally, there were no jokes in this part, but Chen Qi added some.

Brown was lying on the ground and found that the other party suddenly ran away. He thought that the girl was afraid and did not dare to kill him, and laughed evilly: "If you don't kill me now, you will have no chance!"

He slowly got up with a perverted smile, as if he had caught the turtle in the jar.

As he walked up the stairs, he joked: "The game of hide-and-seek is over, come out! I will make you feel unprecedented pain, just like the girls I killed."

The next second, he stopped, looking confused.

He thought the other party ran away because she was afraid, but he saw her standing on a high place, holding a rope around her neck. This scene was too much for the murderer, he couldn't understand: "What the hell are you doing?"

"I remember you, you bastard!" Phoebe shouted.

"What are you talking about?"

"Next time I will definitely kill you, you are so ugly... Oh, I really don't want to be hanged, hanging will expose my tongue."

Phoebe was still complaining at this time, spitting out her tongue first, and then jumping down.

The next shot will be replaced by a dummy hanging in the air, with the crucifix behind it, and the sacred church bells "Dangdangdang"! Because she died, time can cycle and the male protagonist can live.

"OK!"

Wong Jing praised loudly and shouted: "Good job, take a break, it's time for lunch!"

Everyone smiled when they heard the break. The crew was divided into two groups, A and B, and they worked non-stop. Eating was a rare time to relax. In the United States, Chen Qi didn't want to make orange chicken. It was all American fast food, hamburgers, hot dogs, wraps, cola, and at most a vegetable salad...

He took a hamburger and ate while looking at the progress chart.

At this speed, 25 days is more than enough. In the last few days, he left the role of the black hottie. If Jiang Zhiqiang can find Halle Berry to play it, he will let her play it. If not, the original actor will be used.

In addition, "Sweetheart" will also be released.

Uma Thurman will come to Los Angeles for promotion and join the crew to play a passerby.

"Hi! Do you want to bother me?"

Chen Qi was watching when a sweet voice rang in his ear, saying without raising his head: "You acted well in that scene just now."

"Actually, I don't have much confidence. The director you hired is too lenient. We feel that we all have Oscar-level acting skills."

Phoebe Cates also took a meal and sat next to him, laughing: "'Fast Times' was already too much, I didn't expect this play to be more excessive."

"There are no nude scenes in this play."

"I don't mean that, I mean its style is crazy."

"That's right, it's a spoof!"

Spoof he said in Chinese, and only then did he raise his head, looking at Phoebe who was puzzled, and laughed: "Your Chinese level is a little poor."

"I only know a little Chinese. My mother rarely speaks Chinese, but my grandfather speaks it often. He also told me stories about old Shanghai, which sounded like stories from the last century."

"China has changed a lot. You can come and visit if you have a chance. My wife is also from Shanghai."

"Are you married?"

"I have children!"

"Wow, I heard you are only 26 years old?"

Phoebe opened her mouth wide, looking surprised, then paused and said, "I think this is pretty good. I also hope to get married and have two children in a few years. I will save some money for retirement, open a store to do some small business, and live my own life."

"Ha! You really have Chinese ancestry."

Chen Qi was happy.

Phoebe is a very cute girl. He was interested in talking to her and the conversation was very lively.

The Chinese ancestry in her is very rare in Hollywood, and her own conditions are also good. Chen Qi wants to cooperate more and really let her go to China in the future. It will be useful.

"Boss, Bob is here!"

"Yeah!"

Chen Qi stood up and said to Phoebe, "I still have things to do, come on!"

As he said that, he walked outside and saw Bob Shay leading a middle-aged white man with a beard waiting.

"Chen! This is Kevin!"

"Hello, first meeting!"

"Let's find a place to chat?"

The three of them moved to a secluded corner. Chen Qi didn't even ask what the other party did. He just said, "I heard that you have a way to get videotapes into Taiwan?"

"How many goods do you have?"

Goods? ? ?

Chen Qi's expression was subtle, and he said, "No, no! I just want to get a few dozen videotapes in."

"Dozens of boxes?"

Kevin lost interest instantly and said to Bob Shay, "Brother, only if you ask me for help, otherwise I won't even take a look... It's a small matter, leave it to me. Do you have someone to pick you up in Taiwan?"

"Of course!"

"That's even more no problem!"

After a few brief conversations, Kevin left.

Bob Shea understood a little better and said, "Chen! Although I don't care about the political situation, you shouldn't make too much noise. We are filmmakers after all, so we should just do our job well."

"This is my job, don't worry! When things are done in the future, I will get half of the credit and you won't get half."
