A movie usually shoots all the shots related to that scene in one place, and then moves on to the next scene. It does not change the location and time according to the script, because that is very time-consuming and increases the cost.
Just edit according to the order of the script during post-production.
In order to strengthen publicity, Wang Shang deliberately went to the No. 8 Middle School in Shanghai to film school scenes before the winter vacation.
Thanks to the relatively developed entertainment industry in China, the No. 8 Middle School has received a few theater crews throughout the year, so although the students' performances were enthusiastic, they were not crazy, and the scene was relatively easy to control.
Every time we filmed, hundreds of thousands of students gathered around the filming location to watch, laughing and having fun from time to time. Fortunately, they exercised restraint and did not affect Wang Shang and the others' filming.
All thanks to the seniors who came to the school to take pictures, a broad road was opened for Wang Shang.
Well, another reason is that there are no big-name celebrities or idols present, otherwise it would be difficult to tell.
"Stop! Shen Yao, I need you to be cold, not condescending!" Wang Shang, looking at Rachel with a serious face, said: "Imagine, Xiao Dabao always likes to bully other students in front of you to show off. The heroism attracts your attention, but you will find it boring!"
Shen Yao was still a student, so she was naturally very lacking in acting skills. After being criticized by Wang Shang several times, she became nervous and almost cried after being criticized by Wang Shang.
Wang Shang, who has always strived for perfection, was naturally not satisfied, and the filming progress of "Oldboy" was also slowed down. This was already the fifth day of filming, and only one-tenth of the filming process of the film was completed.
Wang Shang also had a headache, and finally thought of a way: "Has anyone pursued you before? There should be, are you too lazy to pay attention to him?"
Shen Yao blushed and nodded.
Wang Shang was delighted: "Don't shoot this scene for now. Now adjust your emotions, forget about acting and everything else, and just imagine the scene of being chased..."
After such a try, it went really well. Shen Yao performed in her true colors and performed very well. Later, she gradually adapted to the rhythm of film shooting and gradually developed her acting skills.
In order to prepare for the future movie "Girls We Chased Together in Those Years", Wang Shang deliberately increased Shen Yao's role in "Oldboy".
As for why we filmed "The Girls We Chased Together", it's because it's not that difficult to shoot, and famous stars don't need too many, there are no big explosion scenes, and the shooting cost is not that high, so Wang Shang can afford it for the time being. Affordable.
The other actors in "Oldboy" were also low-level actors. At first, seeing Wang Shang being so young and demanding, they felt very unhappy and a bit emotional. However, as Wang Shang used both grace and power, he not only pressured them, but also taught them how to figure out the role. , how to improve acting skills.
Slowly, they began to change their attitude.
Pranks in the classroom, beautiful and innocent little girls, boys playing guitar, uniform school uniforms, bicycle sheds, messy dormitories, stands beside the playground...
After five days, the school scene was finally filmed, and the crew rushed to another location non-stop.
Wang Shang discovered that Shen Yao was very talented in acting, and she played the role of the school beauty vividly. Wang Shang naturally praised it, which made Shen Yao extremely happy.
The short film "Old Boy" also became famous due to word-of-mouth spread among the students of the No. 8 Middle School in Shanghai.
Next, several media with keen sense of smell began to come to interview Wang Shanghe and the "Oldboy" crew.
However, Wang Shang's response was neither cold nor cold, and he only said: "This is a good movie, and it is a movie that will make you cry."
Wang Shang was also considered a celebrity during this period, so he also enjoyed the treatment that a celebrity should have. This "Oldboy" has already appeared in major newspapers before it was finished filming.
"The screenwriter of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is greedy and wants to make a movie, and the future is worrying."
"A newcomer who has just debuted is like being a director. He is crazy about gains and losses."
"A person who has just entered society wants to make a deep movie? He must be a fool!"
“Can a gentle scum make a good movie?”
Unsurprisingly, there is a lot of negative news. Countless people are badmouthing Wang Shang and "Oldboy". They all think that Wang Shang just has a small success and thinks he is a genius.
However, if there are negative reports, there will naturally be positive reports. It is not about the truth, it is just about quarreling with each other to gain sales.
"Director Wang said that this will be a touching and tear-jerking movie."
"This is a movie that can touch three generations of people from their 60s to their 80s."
"When watching this movie, please have tissues ready!"
As "The Legend of Zhen Huan" gradually became popular, "Oldboy" also received more and more attention. Several media outlets sent reporters to follow the "Oldboy" crew everywhere to shoot and follow up reports.
Wang Shang is naturally happy to see the result, and at the same time he is also proud that he chose to have a big quarrel with the Magic City Media School. Otherwise, he might still be in the school and be unknown and despised by countless teachers and students. How could he be treated like today's media follow-up reports?
.
As several actors get into the groove, the filming progress of "Oldboy" is also accelerating.
…
Time passes day by day, and the bell of the 21st century is soon ushered in. There are still 24 days until the Spring Festival on January 24.
With the continuous publicity of Datang International, the continuous release of stills and behind-the-scenes, and the continuous reporting of various news, "The Legend of Zhen Huan of the Tang Dynasty" has attracted much attention, and countless people are eagerly looking forward to it.
Negotiations with the national television station and those local television stations are still continuing. Newspapers are following the report every day, and countless fans online are speculating on which television station will get the first broadcast rights.
However, as the Spring Festival is approaching, the national TV station with the best resources still maintains a high profile and refuses to agree to broadcast it in prime time.
The TV station for the first broadcast is undecided, and Tang Zongshi, the boss of Datang International, is also anxious. This "The Legend of Zhen Huan" has cost the boss investment, and the production is of a higher quality than other TV series, so naturally it is not allowed to be broadcast in ordinary time slots.
Later, an acquaintance told him that the reason why the national TV station was like this was because the Shanghai Media Academy was behind the scenes.
When Tang Zongshi heard this, he was so angry that he cursed the national television station for being insincere and deliberately delaying it. He even hated the Shanghai Media School for stretching out its claws and stirring up trouble.
Finally, I started to put aside the national TV station and started negotiating with those local TV stations. Although the local TV stations were a little bit different from the national TV stations, they were not much different.
Negotiations continued until January 5th, and finally the premiere TV station was confirmed. The premiere TV station, Suzhou Satellite TV, will premiere on January 18th. The broadcast time will be 8:00 to 10:00 in the evening, with two episodes a day, Wednesday to Sunday.
Broadcast for five days.
After the premiere agreement was signed, the premiere information was quickly posted on the official websites of Datang International and Suzhou Satellite TV, and then began to build momentum for the premiere.
Official blogs, official websites, celebrity endorsements, entertainment gossip...all publicity methods were used.
Those people from the Datang International Propaganda Department were even more cunning. They exposed the shady practices of the Magic City Media College in negotiating with the national television station, and then secretly found gunmen to provoke another conflict between Wang Shang and the Magic City Media College.
of contradictions.
The inside recording between Wang Yuanze and Wang Shang has not been released yet. If they are going to provoke the conflict to intensify again and release it, it will definitely attract the attention of a large number of people.
But Wang Shang didn't object at all. He was now at odds with the Shanghai Media Academy. There was nothing wrong with using the other party, and he could also increase his reputation by the way?
Wang Shang has always been a person who repays kindness with kindness and complains with resentment.
On January 11, 2001, "Oldboy" was officially wrapped, and all the actors cheered. All that was left was editing and dubbing.
"Director Wang, are the songs ready?" Yu Bo asked.
"Song? Don't worry." Wang Shang looked confident.
Because this movie wants to evoke those people's memories of their youthful years, the dubbing has to use a lot of widely sung music from the 1970s and 1980s. These musics are all ready-made. There is no need to write new songs. You only need to pay a small fee to the copyright agency.
You can use it with confidence for the copyright fee.
The theme song that runs throughout the entire micro-movie must be the song "Old Boy" from another time and space that resonated with countless people.
"That is the person I miss and love deeply day and night. How should I express it? Will she accept me?
Maybe I will never say those words to her. I am destined to wander around the world, so how can I care about her.
…
Has the original wish come true, and now we have no choice but to pay tribute?
Let the years dry up my ideals, and I will never be able to find the real me again.
I looked up at the stars in the sky, the one that accompanied me at that time.
Do you still remember the story here?
If there is tomorrow, I wish you the best, my dear."
Regarding dubbing, Wang Shang paid a team within Datang International to dub the microfilm.
As for the song "Old Boy", Wang Shang stayed up all night to write out the music score. The next day, he took the music score to Datang International's recording studio to record it.
I have to say that Wang Shang has a good voice in this life, rich and clear. When the singing voice of "Old Boy" reached the ears of the sound recorders, they were stunned.
The more I listen to it, the deeper I feel, as if I have returned to the youthful days when I was full of energy, and then think about my current situation.
Life is a ruthless knife that changes our appearance. Dreams will wither before they bloom...
