You don't understand the happiness of the director

Chapter 579 ① The big one ② Finalize ③ Solve the case! Arrests!

"Dad, Mom, you informed me that the physical examination is fine and you can go filming tomorrow!"

In the Gao family, the second son happily told his parents the good news, "But the salary will not be paid until the filming is completed."

Mother Zhang Qingfeng asked: "Do you know any celebrities? Is there anyone named Chen Dao?"

She really, really loves it.

"We'll find out tomorrow. Dad, will you still come with me?" he asked his father again.

The stone in Gao Chengyong's heart fell a little. He shook his head: "I won't go. Just come back and talk to us."

The next day, the second child of the Gao family came to the cinema. After verifying his identity, he was let in. Then he had to face the two hurdles of costume and makeup.

"Ah, why do I have to change clothes but he doesn't have to?" a female extra asked dissatisfied.

"Because except for the heroine, other people cannot wear bright colors and can only choose between gray and black." The staff explained.

What Wang Quan wants is that when the camera reaches the seats, Jiang Peiyao, who is sitting in the center, is dressed in bright red and attracts the attention of the audience.

"Why are you asking me to take off my makeup? I put on makeup for two hours before going out. How much do I value our crew?" Another woman started to make things difficult.

"Beauty, you are so beautiful. If you look so good, I won't even dare to give you the camera. It will easily make people think that you are an important character. So in order to get the camera, let's tone down your appearance a little bit."

The staff knew how to talk. After saying this, the aunt, who was wearing heavy makeup, finally agreed to take off her makeup, and muttered: "I can do it even without makeup."

"Ah, yes, yes."

After everyone's makeup is finalized, they must take photos, videos, and archives. Subsequent shooting must also be based on today's. You can't have one look today and another look tomorrow. Then you have to wear it.

While the extras were busy here, the five leading actors had already entered one of the theaters. Jiang Peiyao was sitting in the center, and the other four were scattered around.

After their preparations were complete, the extras entered the stage one after another. Wang Quan stood at the entrance, shook hands with each of them, exchanged greetings, and thanked them for their hard work.

This flattered the extras. Everyone looked at the legendary director and the wealthy man curiously. After they were seated, they started to look at the actors who had already taken their seats.

The result is very disappointing.

I originally thought it would be a super lineup that gathered Daoming, Baoguo, Guoli, and Zhiwen, but it turned out that Tao Zeru was a familiar face, and the others were not very familiar.

There is also the actress who is dressed in red. She becomes the heroine at such a young age and has no idea who she is. Is it because of unspoken rules?

The seating positions of these extras are also particular. It is necessary not only to highlight Jiang Peiyao's red suit, but also to allow the four middle-aged men to disappear into the crowd and disappear.

After everyone sat down, Wang Quan took a look through the camera and began to make adjustments.

"That beauty, please change with the person behind you."

"That uncle..."

The principle of seat adjustment is to be both visually comfortable and realistic. After an hour of adjusting like this, half a day has passed.

"Everyone, let's eat first. Remember your place. After eating, take a break and continue."

While eating, the cellphones of the extras returned to their hands.

"Beauty, please add me on WeChat~" Gao Laoer said to the supporting girl who was sitting next to him during the filming.

They played the role of a couple, sitting in the back corner, and were asked to whisper from time to time as if no one was watching. As a result, they had already started chatting before filming started, and it was natural for them to exchange contact information.

After getting the mobile phone, the first thing some people did was to spread the word about the cast of "Who Is He?"

Wang Quan has no strict requirements on this. After so many days of speculation on the Internet, it’s time to release something real.

However, Wang Quan definitely couldn't let them know how the filming was going to be done. Almost all of them thought that what they were filming was just a certain segment of the movie. After all, it was only seven days, and the physical examination had already taken two days.

The shooting continued in the afternoon, and then a movie began to play on the screen, with a dragon logo and a fictional film company.

Then a large paragraph of text appeared on the screen. It was the announcement made by the Baiyin police when they issued a reward more than ten years ago, hoping that the people of the city could provide clues.

“1. Among your neighbors or familiar people, who has contact with Neimenggu? Have you ever served as a soldier, gone to school, worked, etc. in Neimeng? Around 1988, did you have anyone from Neimeng? People who come to Baiyin to visit relatives and friends, go to school, or work.

2. Have you, especially lesbians, ever encountered behaviors such as being followed, played hooligan, or molested by others?

3. In your interactions

4.

5.

6…”

This piece of text, paired with the woman's terrified scream when she was murdered in the background, stayed for a full minute, which not only made people read it, but also aroused curiosity.

It was the heroine Jiang Peiyao who provided this screaming sound.

Then the main film started. Ding Yongdai, who was wearing a police uniform, appeared first at the scene of the murder, muttering, "It's very similar to the case six years ago..."

This is the 90-minute clip that Wang Quan shot and edited before. However, Ning Li, who played the murderer, did not show his face, and Jiang Peiyao was also deleted. It seems that the protagonist should be Ding Yongdai, who plays the policeman.

The filming of this 90-minute movie was very rough. After all, it was shot in half a month, and most of the shots will not appear in the final feature film. Naturally, it cannot be very refined.

However, Wang Quan's casual filming has already killed most directors. He uses this informal film to stimulate and mobilize the senses of the extras, allowing them to make the reactions and expressions they want.

After the 90-minute movie was finished, we called it a day. The extras didn't know what they were playing, but they felt that they could earn 500 yuan just by watching a movie. This job was so comfortable.

The assistant director asked them to come tomorrow afternoon. They only need to shoot for half a day every day, and the money is still 500.

In the evening, information about the cast of "Who is He" slowly spread and swept the entire Internet.

E Go Forward 0: My sister-in-law’s sister-in-law’s brother-in-law is working as an extra on the set. He said that the male lead is teacher Tao Zeru.

Price_chang: Ah, is he playing a murderer? He really doesn’t look like a good person.

Ceng Ke: No, why did I hear someone say that the leading actor is Wang Yanhui?

Hair like snow and tears like sea: Who hasn’t heard of it?

Qing Ke: It’s the murderer at the end of “The Heart of the Burning Sun”. I guess he should be playing the real murderer.

Love in the Sky: I also heard that the male lead is Tokyo Best Actor Wang Jingchun.

Everything in the dream: Tokyo Movie King? Is it a notebook? Then I won’t watch this movie anymore.

Wen Zaibian: It seems that all of these people are here, and there is also one named Zhang Songwen, who has acted in "Dog 13" and has very good acting skills.

Edge of the Cemetery: Yes, yes, there are four male protagonists and one female protagonist. No one knows the female protagonist, but maybe they are just supporting characters, after all, this is just a scene.

In the hotel room, Jiang Peiyao looked back and forth online for a long time but didn't see her name.

Because she had not officially debuted and had no works, none of the extras knew her, and no one on the staff called her by her full name, so she was only called "a very young and beautiful woman in red".

Jiang Peiyao: Thank you, at least it’s still “beautiful”.

During Wang Quan's time in Baiyin, good news came from the film market. The fifth 2 billion movie in the mainland was born, and it was also the second one this year.

"Monster Hunt" achieved this achievement in 24 days! Ni Ni became the first actress to earn more than 2 billion in a single film as a female lead.

Although this time is slower than "Ghost Blowing Lantern 3", "Monster Hunt" has significantly stronger stamina.

The highest single-day box office of "Evil 3" almost exceeded 300 million, but the highest single-day box office of "Monster Hunt" was less than 200 million, and it still performed well at the box office despite being surrounded by a number of capable new films.

This gave the producers of "Monster Hunt" hope.

At this time, "Ghost Blowing the Lantern 3" has basically come to an end. Although it has been postponed once, there is not much left at the box office. It is currently 2.34 billion, and the most is 2.35, which cannot exceed the 2.389 billion of "Cold Front".

Jiang Zhiqiang, the boss of Anle Pictures, asked data experts to analyze it based on the new films at the follow-up meeting.

With the release of "Broken Wind", "All the Way" and "Minions" in the past two days, only the Chinese Valentine's Day romance films are left in the August schedule that still pose some threat.

As long as "Monster Hunt" invests some more in promotional expenses, and gives away profits to movie fans and issues some coupons, then it shouldn't be a problem if it earns another 350 million and surpasses "Monster 3" to become the annual box office champion.

Everyone involved in this project is very excited, but Jiang Zhiqiang is a little reluctant, "Is it just better than "Ghost 3"? What about "Leng Feng"?"

"Ah, this, this seems a bit difficult."

Although there is only a gap of about 40 million between "Ghost 3" and "Leng Feng", the gap becomes more difficult to close as it reaches the later stage of release. In many cases, a blockbuster movie only earns a few hundred thousand in a single day after being released for a month. It's hard to equal.

It's also because there are so many popular movies now, and there are new ones every week, it's not easy for "Monster Hunt" to survive until now.

Therefore, data experts are not optimistic about surpassing "Leng Feng".

Although the box office of 2 billion has far exceeded the initial expectations, because this movie can earn hundreds of millions, which is comparable to the income of previous years, but there is "Cold Front" in front of it, which is too uncomfortable.

You know, since the release of "Inception" in 2009, which tripled the box office record in mainland film history, only Wang Quan himself has broken his own record.

"Rich Second Generation", "Li Xianji" and "Leng Feng", Wang Quan breaks his own record every year.

If his record is broken by his own "Monster Hunt" this time, Anle Pictures from Hong Kong will instantly become famous, and may even enter the YYDS permanent council!

If "Monster Hunt" surpasses "Leng Feng", then "Monster Hunt 2" will be the champion sequel in film history, and it will naturally have its own aura!

Although the difference is only tens of millions, when it comes to the next film, the publicity effect may be more than 100 million!

Jiang Zhiqiang couldn't help but do some calculations. According to experts' calculations, the price of "Monster Hunt" is 2.36 billion.

If the final box office exceeds "Leng Feng" to reach 2.4 billion, that is an additional 40 million.

If the 40 million comes from Anle, then more than one-third of the box office will eventually go back to Anle.

In other words, for less than 30 million, you can get the honor of box office record in mainland film history, break the myth of King Quan's undefeatability, and bring huge benefits to yourself, Anle, and the IP of "Monster Hunt"!

The temptation is too great!

So Jiang Zhiqiang became cruel and decided to do something big.

"Hey, don't worry. The filming will be finished soon. It will be completed in a few days. Post-production will be done during the filming. Don't worry."

Wang Quan communicated with Venice and found that half of the films in the main competition section had arrived in Water City in August. Only "Who Is He" has not been released yet. The other party was very worried and hesitated whether to include it in the shortlist when announcing it. "who is he".

After all, this is an international stage, and it would be bad if something goes wrong. Many tourists and film producers may come for the royal power. If they let go, Venice's reputation will be damaged.

Wang Quan asked the other party to keep his heart in his stomach while he was still holding back his speed.

It takes half a day to edit and half a day to shoot.

Xiaotian looked at the boss above him and told him not to press his speed, he could bear it.

Now both of them no longer go behind Meng Ziyi's back, and sometimes they even hope that Xiao Meng can be bolder, and they will be more excited if there are people watching next to them.

However, Xiao Meng is still very measured. She can only do the job of rolling up the curtains at most. She doesn't dare to do anything else. She wisely leaves space for them every time.

On the 15th, Wang Quan announced to nearly a hundred extras that their scenes were finished.

In fact, the entire film was completed, but the extras didn't know it and thought they had just finished shooting a certain scene of the entire film.

After the extras settled their paychecks and left happily, Wang Quan received a call from Captain Zhang of the Baiyin Criminal Police Team. His voice trembled with excitement.

"Quan, Director Quan, we met and discovered the Y chromosome that is homologous to the murderer!"

Although the money for this part of the test was paid by Wang Quan, the test results were first sent to the police.

At first, Zhang Dui thought that Wang Quan was so whimsical that making a movie could attract the murderer. If solving the case was so easy, we would have made it long ago.

Unexpectedly, although the murderer was not directly caught, with the latest Y-STR technology, a Y chromosome that was highly consistent with the murderer's DNA was actually found.

"Oh?" Wang Quan pretended to be surprised and said, "Then we can now investigate the suspect's paternal relatives!"

Captain Zhang said: "No, we also did a paternity test at the same time, guess what!"

"What's wrong?"

Captain Zhang laughed so hard that he almost burst into tears, "That kid and the murderer are father and son, biological father and son! Damn it, we are finally going to catch this bastard!"

Wang Quan asked: "So you have already started taking action?"

"To tell you the truth, in fact, this matter should be arrested, and I will tell you after it is truly confirmed. But after all, you are the leader of this matter, and you are the biggest contributor, so I will tell you directly now, we On the way to the suspect’s house.”

Hearing this, Wang Quan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I wish you all the best."

The second eldest son of the Gao family had a meal with the girl he met during the filming after leaving the crew, and felt that the relationship would soon develop further.

He returned home happily, and then saw many police cars in the community.

"Hey, what's going on?"

He squeezed into the crowd, and then he saw a group of policemen with live ammunition escorting his father into a police car, while his mother stared blankly at his father with tears streaming down her face.

When he asked his mother what was going on, she refused to tell her...

…
