Rhapsody of Entertainment Rebirth

Chapter 230 Chapter 230: Director please give me advice

The filming of "Bottom Hot Girl" started with the promotion of Chuhe Film and Television and the attention of book fans, which caused a heated discussion in the domestic entertainment circle.

The marketing department of Chuhe Film and Television went all out, investing all kinds of resources regardless of the cost from the beginning, and the final makeup photos of "Bottom Hot Girl" were gradually released.

Yang Mi and Liu Ye have received the most attention. Fortunately for Liu Ye, he was already well-known in China. This appearance only increased his national popularity.

Yang Mike is different. She suddenly became the focus of the media from an unknown high school student.

She plays Lou Xiaoyun, who is very vivid in the minds of those born in the 1980s, a counterattack girl who inspires countless people and makes their blood boil!

After the first batch of Yang Mi's makeup photos were released, Lou Xiaoyun's hot girl image was hotly discussed on the Internet.

The hip-hop combination of a large school uniform on the upper body and various short skirts and jeans on the lower body has become a popular fashion among middle school students in a few days.

Yang Mi's face is full of collagen and the girl's proud body curves are set off by the golden slightly curly shawl long hair and light smoky makeup, making her charming and wild!

A real bottom hot girl appeared in front of the public.

Yang Mi suddenly became popular on the Internet. Her information and school were exposed. Netizens' attention to "Bottom Hot Girl" and Yang Mi instantly reached another level.

"Let me go, is this Lou Xiaoyun? It's so hot! Why wasn't there such a character when I was in middle school? I would like to bow down under her short skirt and become a lackey!"

"Hot girl! Who is this Yang Mi? She's so awesome!"

"If this were to happen in reality, he would definitely be the mortal enemy of all the girls in the school. Can any boy be able to handle it? I definitely can't!"

"Has the trademark of the director of Beijing Film Academy changed to showing his thighs? Zhang Yimou came first, and Shanhe followed. It's too immoral. Do such students exist in reality?"

"The upstairs is old and antique. In reality, there are many exaggerated ones. My sister and her school are a group of killers. The style exceeds the limit of your imagination. I was shocked!"

Shanhe didn't pay attention to the heated discussion caused by Yang Mi's makeup photos. He is now fully devoted to his first directing real-life shooting.

It's already November, and the weather around the capital will soon drop sharply. Shanhe has to rush to shoot the outdoor scenes. Once it snows, it will bring more inconvenience and trouble to the crew.

Shanhe did not hold any worship ceremony. The crew simply gathered on location to say a few words of encouragement and auspicious words, and then went directly to the filming plan.

It’s easy first and then it’s difficult. This is the shooting rhythm set by Shanhe after discussing with the creative team. The most important thing in the crew is that both positions are rookies, so a sufficient running-in period must be planned.

There were about ten scenes on the first day, all of which were short shots, and the requirements for the actors were not high. Perhaps because of more than a month of positioning and rehearsal, everything went smoothly.

Yang Mi's performance was much better than expected. The frequency of mistakes was much less than during location scouting and filming. She slowly began to adapt to the presence of the camera!

However, Shanhe himself ran into trouble. The actual shooting was different from the imagination in his mind and the scenes during location scouting. The director needed to make a choice. The word "pass" was not so easy to pronounce.

Shanhe does not yet have the ability and experience to control the quality of the entire film from the beginning. He needs to determine his own standards and rhythm through continuous shooting.

After each shooting, he had to think for a while behind the camera, repeatedly compare with his own ideas and requirements, and discuss a few words with Zhao Fei and the heads of various departments.

"One more!", "Keep one!" voices kept coming from Shanhe's mouth.

The whole crew is working with Shan He to adjust, and he has to find his own standards and rhythm as soon as possible.

Shanhe has a natural advantage. He does not need to use any means to establish his authority to consolidate his position in the crew.

He is the most powerful person in the crew and the boss of Chuhe Film and Television. No one will make trouble for him on the set. All departments operate according to his ideas and work according to his rhythm.

After a week of shooting, Shanhe still feels like he is still floating. It seems that every shot tests his nerve of choice. Often he feels good at the time of shooting, but when he looks back at the scene at night, he feels dissatisfied.

Shanhe's anxiety is increasing day by day, and his temper has begun to fluctuate, constantly being pulled back and forth between confidence and doubt!

The atmosphere on the set also became a little low-pressure due to Shan He's anxiety, and the chat at the filming site seemed to be subdued.

But there are always some exceptions. Some people are born to be living treasures, and Liu Ye is one of them.

He has already gained a good reputation in the domestic film circle with "The Mountain, That Man, That Dog" and "Lan Yu".

Last year, he played Long Xiaoyu in Hai Yan's drama "What can I do to save you, my love", which left an impression on the general public.

He is the best among domestic students of the same age.

Continuous success and a naturally loud mouth have given Liu Ye a tendency to be socially awkward.

Two days after joining the crew, they got along well with the assistant director, Chrysalis, and formed a big-mouthed duo. The entire crew was their target, even the mountains and rivers were not spared.

Before joining the crew, Liu Ye was extremely curious about Shanhe. He and Zeng Li were classmates and had a good relationship. He knew that Zeng Li had signed a contract with Chuhe Film and Television, and Zeng Li spoke highly of Shanhe and Chuhe Film and Television. She often He said on the phone that he was very lucky.

Zeng Li and Liu Ye knew each other very well. They were very elegant and reserved. It was too difficult for her to praise someone.

When he joined the cast of "Bottom Hot Girl" this time, his manager Chang Jihong also repeatedly told him to have a good relationship with Shan He, which would be of great help to his career as an actor in the future.

How did a young man in his twenties get to be so awesome? Liu Ye was really curious.

Originally, he was still intimidated by Shanhe's aura as a writer and only had normal communication and secret observation. But once he got together with Silkworm Chrysalis, the situation was completely different.

Silkworm Chrysalis and Shanhe have been close friends who have lived together for three years in college. The two talk very casually. When Shanhe is thinking about discussions, he will often bring in a few roommates present. At this time, Liu Ye will also join in and listen to the discussions of several people. Gradually, I will join in a few sentences.

And he became more and more sexy, and he and Silkworm Chrysalis almost became a cross talk team. Shanhe even chatted with him for a few words at first, asking for his opinions, but later basically treated him as if he didn't exist!

This day happened to film a scene where the male and female protagonists met. The plot was that the tutor Zeng Cheng was shocked by the hot girl's dress. Yang Mi needed to take off her school uniform in front of Liu Ye, revealing her delicate figure, while Liu Ye wanted to He was shocked at first, and then he was admired and flattered by his unexpected humor, and he easily gained the heroine's trust.

This scene was not difficult. What Shan He asked for was for Cong Guang to hit Liu Ye from behind Yang Mi, making the whole scene feel unreal.

Shanhe wants the heroine to have a dreamy light, so that in the eyes of Zeng Cheng or the audience, she is not only a scantily clad bad girl, but also a beautiful dream-catching girl.

But Shanhe is still wandering between confidence and doubt, and Yang Mi's performance is also good and bad. The scene that was not difficult at first was shot back and forth five times.

What is surprising is that there was not one NG, and the entire scene was completed five times.

Now Liu Ye had something to say, "Boss, what effect do you want? Can you give me some hints? Even if you just curse a few words, Yang Mi and I don't know what's wrong?"

Silkworm Chrysalis also walked up, "Boss, I think it's pretty good. What are you thinking about?"

Liu Ye leaned in front of the camera, looked at the picture and exclaimed: "This effect is great. Look at Yang Mi's figure, oh, it's so well developed!"

"Let me go, you are such an old gangster. I am not yet an adult. How can you say this in person? Just communicate in private!" Silkworm Chrysalis said with a look of approval, "Liu Ye, you are doing well, look at this Brother Zhu, show your true colors!"

"That's not possible. I'm a professional. It's all about acting. But the first time I was a little surprised, but I got used to it later!"

Yang Mi was a little embarrassed by the two men's teasing, "Director, look at these two, they are actually thinking about dirty things!"

"Ignore these two bitches, they have big mouths!" Shanhe rolled his eyes at the two people beside him, "I'm comparing, the difference in lighting and lens still has an impact on the picture, but you two You’re right, the first time is indeed better!”

"The next four times, Yang Mi and I wasted our expressions in vain? Boss, how long do we have to wait?" Liu Ye complained.

Shanhe was poked in a sore spot, and he blurted out angrily: "What? The Golden Horse Best Actor is impatient. I'm the director. I say shoot, no matter how many times you shoot, you have to shoot, and you have to hold in your discomfort!"

Liu Ye was probably used to being scolded in the past, so he was very thick-skinned, "Boss, I'm not unhappy, I'm just giving you some suggestions. In fact, you have done a good job, but you are too demanding of yourself!"

Shanhe glanced at him and said to the crew with a sincere face: "This scene is over, let's continue with the next one. Everyone has worked hard these past ten days. This is my first time directing. It will take some time to polish the lens. , please cooperate with me more!"

"No problem! This is how we got here!"

"You're welcome, director, as you should!"

"Don't listen to Liu Ye's loud mouth, he just needs scolding!"

The filming continued amidst the suffering of Shan He. An experienced crew brought many benefits to Shan He. As the shots were polished over and over again, the various departments of the crew became more and more cooperative, and gradually adapted to Shan He's intentions and rhythm. stand up.

Even Yang Mi improved a lot as Shan He told the story over and over again!

Everyone seems to be normal, but Shanhe is even more anxious. It's not because of the progress or the quality of the shooting. The key is that he is not sure and has no experience. He can't predict what the effect of these shots will be when combined. He is not sure whether it can meet his expectations. With doubts!

Shan He finally understood why Ning Hao was always so irritable on the set. One day the film was not finished, and every day was unknown and full of suffering!

The filming continued, and a few days later, Jiang Wen came to the crew to play the role of the heroine's father.

Now Shanhe finally had someone to complain about, and he complained to Jiang Wen.

"Director Jiang, do you know how I got through this month! No wonder the director is so thin, it's so hard!"

"Haha..." Jiang Wen laughed and responded, "I have a taste of it! It's the same for the first time. I had a harder time filming "Sunny Days" than you. The film was wasted in boxes after boxes. It seems It always seems wrong, but you are already very happy, you don’t have to worry about investment and issuance, and you don’t have to worry about losing money and going bankrupt!”

Shanhe asked with a wry smile: "I'm really unsure. Do I have no talent for directing? The footage was taken, but I still can't connect it to a complete picture in my mind. I'm really not sure whether I can meet my expectations!" "

"What good things are you thinking about!" Jiang Wen patted Shan He on the shoulder and said, "You still want to connect these fragmentary shots into a movie on the scene. You are taking the editor too lightly! It’s all like this, the director doesn’t say that he gets better gradually, it’s normal for every moment to be challenging, the important thing is not to doubt yourself!”

"I don't know if you are comforting me or deceiving me?" Shanhe shook his head helplessly, "I can only persevere to the end!"

"Come on, don't be pretentious. It's all started. Whether it's good or bad, we'll finish the filming first! How many have we filmed now?" Jiang Wen asked with a smile.

Shanhe nodded and replied: "The progress is pretty good. Senior Brother Zhao has been a big help. The crew is getting along well, the actors are also good, and they even gave me some surprises!"

"Then you're still so confused!" Jiang Wen glanced at Shanhe angrily, "Take me to see the shot, I'll take a look and give you some advice!"

More than half an hour later, Jiang Wen sat on the director's chair and looked at the scene in the camera. He said to Shanhe: "The two of us are really destined. You see, my first movie was also in adolescence. We are two generations. People definitely have different perceptions of youth, and the difference can be seen just from the use of light!"

Jiang Wen turned his head and glanced at the mountains and rivers beside him, and continued: "In "Sunny Days" I used a large area of ​​natural light to create an isolation between light and shadow. The entire movie was immersed in warm yellow tones, making the picture appear more... Dreamy. Your "Bottom Hot Girl" is just the opposite. It uses a large area of ​​artificial lighting and a mixture of warm and cold tones. You wanted to create a strong sense of reality for the audience. The technique is a bit rough, but the effect is not bad. After all, this is a commercial film. Movie!"

"What? You look down on commercial movies!" Shanhe looked at Jiang Wen and asked.

Jiang Wen smiled and replied arrogantly: "I'm not looking down on commercial movies, it's just that my style is not suitable for commercial movies!"

"You're awesome, I'm waiting to see the day you make a commercial film!" Shanhe asked, "How do you feel? Use your experience to give me a judgement!"

"It's pretty good. The setting, lighting, and actors are all above the standard. This girl was well chosen. She has the wildness of a girl from the capital. To be honest, the effect is better than I expected!" Jiang Wen replied.

"You're not fooling me, are you?"

"Shanhe, when did you become so unsure of yourself? I never deceive others!" Jiang Wen replied arrogantly.

Shanhe responded disdainfully: "If you don't lie to people, how did you get the investment for the movie?"

"Come on, I won't watch!" Jiang Wen stood up and said, "You don't understand good words, so I won't talk nonsense to you. When will my filming start? I will be released next year and I am busy writing the script. !”

"Haha..." Shanhe looked at Jiang Wen who was about to move and said, "Can't you hold it in any longer? Why don't you have fun directing two scenes with me?"

"Don't! I can't affect your creative thinking. You young people have low tolerance. Don't make you cry for a while!" Jiang Wen joked.

"I'm not Lu Chuan, I'm not as pretentious as him!"

"That's true!"

Jiang Wen's father role is that of a father who doesn't care much about his daughter. He puts all his hopes of realizing his ideals on his son. In his eyes, everything that happens to his daughter is his wife's responsibility.

In the script, Shanhe portrayed him as a somewhat macho family head, who didn't live long but had an inexplicable sense of joy.

This role was naturally not difficult for an experienced actor like Jiang Wen. He stayed on set for two days and shot a few scenes.

According to Jiang Wen, if the mountains and rivers weren't so rough, it could be done in one day!

After Jiang Wen left the crew, perhaps because he relaxed the pressure after complaining to Jiang Wen, Shanhe's mood stabilized a lot, and the filming progress sped up a lot!

At this time, the time has arrived in December, and the most lively film Lunar New Year market in the new century is about to begin.

Starting from the release of Feng Xiaogang's "A World Without Thieves" on December 9, Zhou Xingxing's "Kung Fu" will be released on December 23, and Ning Hao's "On the Road" will be released on February 2, three well-known movies will be released. The director's films will compete in the Lunar New Year and Spring Festival festivals!

Chuhe Film and Television did not accept China Film's suggestion to release "On the Road" in mid-January and prepared to stick to the Spring Festival. Zhong Lifang ambitiously threw out the chips again. Chuhe Film and Television seemed to have the guts to not give up until the Spring Festival. Determination!

Both Huayi and Zhou Xingxing chose a conservative plan. They would rather compete together than take the risk of moving the schedule later.

During the Spring Festival last year, the crazy box office run of "Crazy Stone" didn't seem to bring any change to them!

Within two months, three movies with high media expectations were released consecutively, which gave China's film market a shot in the arm, and the market began to become more and more popular.

The actor who has benefited the most is none other than Wang Baoqiang. The names of Wang Baoqiang and Ge You are on the starring lists of the two popular movies "A World Without Thieves" and "A Journey to Misfortune".

Ge You is normal. At this time, he is the number one star in the domestic film market, and his appeal is unrivaled.

But who is Wang Baoqiang, and why can he be ranked with Ge You?

The media began to dig deeper into Wang Baoqiang's film and television experience. When stills of Wang Baoqiang with a silly smile on his face appeared in various entertainment media, the public was in an uproar!

Such a guy, with a silly face and a rustic look! How did he get to this point? The public is extremely curious about Wang Baoqiang's unconventional rise.

At this time, Huayi and Chuhe began to join forces to hype Wang Baoqiang's legendary experience.

I was lucky enough to be selected from the ensemble cast by the director of "The Blind Shaft". I spent a month ignorantly filming, but won the Venice Best Newcomer Award.

Then he was appreciated by Shanhe and signed into Chuhe Film and Television, and then he started cheating!

Starring in two hit movies and a big-invested TV series within half a year!

Is this something that a silly face who is full of local flavor and looks more like a migrant worker than a migrant worker can do?

Liu Yifei, who is hailed as a rising star by the media, doesn't have half of his resources!

As a result, the rumor that Wang Baoqiang was Shanhe's cousin spread all over the Internet and gossip media!

Wang Baoqiang went from an unknown and silly boy to an alternative star with a lot of traffic in a few days.

At this time, in the office of the general manager of Chuhe Film and Television, two women were drinking coffee and tasting the fruits of victory.

"Yang Liu, the effect of this publicity is great. After this year, Wang Baoqiang has really become a star. I have to accept Shanhe's opinion. Now it seems that the domestic film market still has to be supported by comedies. He Actors with comedy talents like Huang Bo do have a bright future!" Zhong Lifeng said with a smile.

"Mr. Zhong is right!" Yang Liu responded with a happy face, "But someone else has to go. I personally took care of these two people. They all have their own characteristics. The boss probably likes them for this." Well, Wang Baoqiang is sincere and hard-working, and he is very smart, and his acting skills have been honed well. Huang Bo is also hard-working, smart, has high emotional intelligence, and can communicate. To be honest, I feel now that they both have more prospects than Zeng Li. It turns out The boss told me that these two people can support the agency department, but I still didn’t believe it, but now I have to believe it!”

"The post-production of "The Conspiracy" and "Silent Witness" have been completed in the past two months. I have been holding back and not releasing it. This time I made the right bet!" Zhong Lifeng took a sip of coffee and said, "Yang Liu, "Sword and Fairy" Do you know the situation in "The Legend of Heroes"? I haven't had time to pay attention to it recently. When will it be finished?"

"Probably in the past few days, Zeng Li's scenes have been filmed long ago. I stayed there for a few days. The speed and efficiency of directors in Hong Kong and Taiwan are indeed faster, and I think the quality will not be bad. Just look at the appearance of the actors. It can attract a lot of viewers, and with the addition of game fans, this series may become popular!" Yang Liu replied.

Zhong Lifeng nodded, "Now I have high hopes for all the projects Shanhe has named. "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is a project he picked for a small job. It has a high chance of catching on. We have to pay attention to it! By the way, Shanhe's movie progress How is it? I just turned on the phone and went there once. I have to go visit the class in the next two days, otherwise the boss will be unhappy! "

Yang Liu smiled and replied: "The progress is not bad, the crew has been getting along very well, and the picture quality is also very good in my opinion, but he seems to be getting more and more anxious. I went there several times and he ignored me. At first glance, I’m suffering from rookie syndrome!”

"It's the same in any industry. When I first came to Chuhe Film and Television, I couldn't sleep well. It was really stressful to take on the leading role for the first time!" Zhong Lifeng replied with a smile, "Besides, he is a talented person. He has never tasted it since he was thirteen years old. After a defeat, I am now entering an unknown territory, with no experience, no confidence and no confidence, so you can imagine the pressure on me!"

"We can't help him, he has to carry it on his own!"

"I won't let his debut novel end in failure!" Zhong Lifeng said firmly.

On December 9, "A World Without Thieves" sounded the clarion call for the 2004 Lunar New Year episode, and Wang Baoqiang's rise to prominence officially began.

In the first three days of the first weekend, the box office of "A World Without Thieves" exceeded 40 million. The box office of more than 10 million in one day was not a small amount at the time.

The outside world's expectations for the box office of "A World Without Thieves" are at the bottom of 100 million. The actor who benefits the most is Wang Baoqiang!

His character is so recognizable that everyone who has watched the movie will never forget the role of "Sha Gen". He plays a simple and ignorant young man so perfectly that there is really nothing wrong with him!

Huang Bo also attracted a lot of attention. The original two stupid thieves were changed to three, but the comedy effect remained unchanged. Huang Bo's stupidity reminded everyone of the unlucky black guy in "Crazy Stone" !

Two weeks later, the box office of "A World Without Thieves" exceeded 100 million. Wang Baoqiang and Ge You's second film virtually received huge publicity. Chuhe Film and Television did not spend a penny on the early publicity!

The film and television industry marveled at the distribution operations of Chuhe Film and Television. They borrowed chickens to lay eggs and then hatched chicks. You really know how to play!

The crew of "Bottom Hot Girl" had no time to pay attention to anything else at the moment. Teacher Pan Hong's role was finalized today, and Shanhe had a finalization banquet specially for her.

"Teacher Pan, this time because I delayed your filming progress and made you stay on the set for a few more days, I'm really sorry. Thank you for your generosity, junior. Not only did you not blame me, but you always encouraged me, a newbie. It's really annoying. Shame on you!" Shanhe held up a cup and apologized to Pan Hong.

Pan Hong responded with a smile: "You are a very outstanding junior. I have witnessed your efforts these days. To be honest, if I were you, I would not be able to do this. A person who has already achieved great success in the field of literary novels It is a great thing for a successful writer to take the risk of failure to realize his dream. Besides, based on my experience, your movie will not fail, and Xiao Yang Mi’s performance is not bad!"

Shan He drank up the wine in the cup in one gulp, "That's great, Teacher Pan. I would like to lend you your kind words. If the movie is successful, I will definitely come to your door with a red envelope to express my gratitude!"

"Haha... I just like your sincerity. The red envelope is free of charge. I welcome you to my door!"

The day after Pan Hong left, Zhong Lifeng and Yang Liu brought Hu Ge to the set.

Zhong Lifeng said hello and chatted with the production director about the shooting funding situation.

Hu Ge and Yang Liu were watching the filming on the sidelines.

At this time, the filming progress was already more than halfway, and Yang Mi was completely involved in the scene. At this time, he was filming the scene of his falling out with Zeng Cheng.

The temperature in Beijing in December has already reached minus 10 degrees. Yang Mi still had to wear a short skirt and T-shirt. The whole shot only lasted half a minute. The rehearsal and NG still took nearly an hour. When Shan He shouted "pass", both of them were The cold lips trembled!

Hu Ge looked at Yang Mi, who was wrapped in a coat and sitting by the electric heater, shivering, and couldn't help but admire her. At such a young age, this girl not only has good acting skills, but is also very dedicated!

"How's it going? After seeing other people's performance, do you know the gap between yourself?" Shanhe patted Hu Ge on the shoulder and said.

Hu Ge came back to his senses, turned around and responded to Shan He: "There is such a big difference between making a movie and making a TV series. The details are too fine!"

"Nonsense!" Shanhe glanced at Hu Ge, "The TV screen is only as big as the movie screen. Every detail will be magnified dozens of times on the big screen. Expressions and movements cannot be fooled at all. I'll get to you this afternoon. It’s time to play, don’t expect me to let you off easily, let’s take it slow!”

"I'll go, Great Immortal, you are trying to intimidate me! You didn't put pressure on me in advance!"

"Actors and directors alike have to endure hardships. I have been suffering for more than a month. You are not allowed to try it! Makeup artist, come here and put makeup on him!"
