Chapter 17 A lot of pressure (please recommend, please collect~)
"Ah? You said that our family is the largest investor in "Manslaughter"?" Zhang Hao opened his eyes in disbelief.
"Yes, your grandpa mortgaged the yard. I also mortgaged the house and some savings. Together, I got eight million for you." Zhang Yu helped Zhang Hao pack his luggage and explained briefly.
Zhang Hao was stunned for a moment. After a moment, he said, "No, there's no need for this. I'll take my time and I can get investment."
"Yeah, how long has it been since you got the investment?" Zhang Yu put a bag of snacks in his suitcase: "Why don't we think of a way for you? Just take the picture and it will be successful. Even if it doesn't succeed,
Start all over again.
The house is not important, renting a house is not unaffordable."
Zhang Hao's eyes were a little wet for a moment. He is not an easily moved person, but with such a family that supports you unreservedly, who can not be moved?
"Mom, I will never let you or let your grandparents down." Zhang Hao said firmly.
"Well, I know." Zhang Yu's eyes showed pride: "My son will never let me down."
With his family's support and heavy pressure, Zhang Hao got on the plane back to the set.
The fact that the Zhang family took out their savings, mortgaged their house, and almost sold everything to support Zhang Hao's filmmaking has spread throughout the film and television circles in Beijing and then throughout the mainland film and television circles for more than a month.
I heard that Chen Gege’s wife ridiculed Zhang Yu who came to the party at a party, saying that she was in vain and that if she wanted to make money from movies, it would be better to invest in her husband’s movies.
There were many famous ladies from the capital present at that time. Zhang Yu, who was crowded around in public, looked very ugly and could hardly raise his head, so he left the stage in embarrassment.
Zhang Hao heard this from Xu Qing, and Xu Qing heard it from others.
Zhang Hao clenched his fists until his nails turned white. Now, he had a reason to succeed. It was his mother who suffered such a huge insult and grievance because of him.
Zhang Hao knows that words are the weakest counterattack. All he can do is to make this movie well, achieve success, and make his mother proud and his grandparents proud.
After returning to the crew, Zhang Hao completely transformed into a workaholic and a tyrant on the set. He is extremely strict with details and has strict requirements for every scene.
Guo Tao, Yu Feihong, Xu Qing, Jiang Wu, Li Qin and others were all scolded by Zhang Hao like a hair dryer.
Even the youngest Mai Mai cried when he was scolded by Zhang Hao, although Zhang Hao later regretted his harsh tone and coaxed Mai Mai for a long time.
Zhang Hao was so strict that he even called Zhang Yishan back to reshoot several scenes before letting him go.
Even the leading actors were scolded, not to mention other crew members. Under Zhang Hao's hair dryer, everyone worked cautiously, for fear that the director would find any mistakes.
Among them, deputy director Cui Lihui became Zhang Hao's punching bag. He dared to talk back to Zhang Hao in the past, but Zhang Hao used to be calm and would ignore him at most.
Now it's no longer possible. As soon as Cui Lihui raised his objection, Zhang Hao caught him and scolded him for more than ten minutes. If the producer Liu Hao hadn't persuaded him to make peace, Zhang Hao would definitely have continued to scold him.
"Why are you interrupting? Who are you? Do you have the right to speak? Have you done your job well?" Zhang Hao found another opportunity on the set that day and caught Cui Lihui and continued to curse.
The crew members were completely silent, and no one dared to stop them.
Yu Feihong pulled Xu Qing, who was wearing a police uniform, and asked: "What's wrong with the little director?"
Because Zhang Hao is young, both Yu Feihong and Xu Qing call Zhang Hao "little director".
"You don't know yet?" Xu Qing looked at Zhang Hao who was cursing and explained the matter.
"So that's it. No wonder the young director has become very angry recently." Yu Feihong suddenly realized.
Xu Qing laughed and said: "There are no directors who don't have a bad temper. The pressure in this industry is very high, not to mention the pressure on young directors nowadays."
Xu Qing knew that Zhang Hao was under pressure. Sometimes she would chat with Zhang Hao at one or two o'clock in the evening to help him relieve his pressure, but Zhang Hao was always working at his desk.
As time went by, Zhang Hao's originally handsome face developed several pimples due to staying up late.
It's a pity that Zhang Hao seems to have no interest in her, otherwise Xu Qing could help Zhang Hao release the pressure more comprehensively...
In this way, under Zhang Hao's tyrant-like rule, the filming progress of the crew was rapid. At night, Zhang Hao checked the shooting results and the results were getting better every time.
On February 7, Mai Mai, who had been filming intermittently, officially finished filming. Before leaving, Mai Mai gave Zhang Hao a painting of her child's graffiti.
"Brother director, this is a painting I drew. This is me, this brother, you, and sister Li Qin, you have to collect it and keep it!" The little girl wore braids, innocent and cute.
Zhang Hao touched Mai Mai's head and said with a smile: "Okay, I will keep it well."
"Come on, director, look here, let's take a group photo." The executive director of the crew greeted, Zhang Hao held Mai Mai in his arms, and took a group photo.
Maimai's mother has already agreed that she will attend the filming finale party and see Maimai. When the time comes, the photos will be developed and kept as a souvenir for Maimai.
This rare experience was Maimai's first time acting, and it was an unforgettable memory, but in the end there were still differences.
Before getting in the car, Mai Mai threw herself into Yu Feihong's arms and cried for a long time, constantly calling her mother. Yu Feihong plays Mai Mai's mother in the play, and children are prone to emotions.
Let alone children, even adults sometimes get emotional over drama.
After Mai Mai left, the filming of the crew also came to an end. In the last scene, Li Weijie surrendered and was taken into a police car. There were also some flashback scenes. In the scene, he was mediocre when he was dependent on his father.
In this scene, it can be said that Guo Tao gave an actor-level performance and conquered everyone on the crew, including Zhang Hao of course.
Sitting in a police car, outside the car were media reporters, escorting police officers, and his wife Ayu and daughter Pingping who came over. The camera focused on Li Weijie. He looked out the window, smiled, and tried to comfort his wife and daughter.
As the car set off on the road, he turned his head and faced the camera but couldn't help but feel sad and cry.
Guo Tao showed his superb acting skills. To put it simply, the half of the face facing the window is smiling, but the other half is really sad and crying.
Zhang Hao only knows one person who can perform this kind of performance, Mr. You Benchang, who plays Jigong.
This expression was something Guo Tao had practiced for a long time and discussed with Zhang Hao for a long time before filming before showing it in this scene.
Although he is not up to the level of Mr. You Benchang, he is good enough and worthy of a best actor award.
As the police car drove away, Li Weijie smiled with relief. In the dust left by the police car, his wife Ayu and daughter Pingping cried and hugged each other sadly.
Li Weijie turned himself in. There was nothing he could do about it, just to pass the trial!
In order to pass the review, Zhang Hao set the story in Thailand. In order to pass the review, Zhang Hao filmed it according to the ending of the domestic version. I believe that the alien veteran can understand his painstaking efforts.
If he has the ability, the alien veteran will kill the big scissors first. If he dares to kill him, Zhang Hao will dare to shoot the Indian version.
At the end of the film, there was an interview with citizens about their views on this matter, and finally asked Kou Zhenghai, who played Song En.
When the old man was asked, he was stunned for a moment, then turned his head, as if he was looking at the Li Weijie who used to brag in his store, and finally showed a meaningful smile.
After this shot was taken, Zhang Hao breathed a sigh of relief, and everyone in the audience was looking at him. Zhang Hao smiled slightly, raised his loudspeaker and shouted: "I announce that "Manslaughter" is officially closed and we have finished filming."
"Wow, it's done."
"Great, it's finally finished."
"It's torture, it's too much. I want to relax when I go back."
The crew and crew all cheered and then clapped, celebrating the completion of the film and their own liberation.
Zhang Hao also breathed a sigh of relief and shook hands with producer Liu Hao: "Thank you for your hard work, Producer Liu. Without your help and support, I would not have been able to complete the filming of the film so smoothly."
"Don't be so polite. I have a hunch that this film will be successful and I look forward to opportunities for cooperation in the future." Liu Hao said with a smile.
"Definitely..." Zhang Hao also smiled widely.
"Congratulations, young director, your first film has been successfully completed." Xu Qing also came over to congratulate.
Although Zhang Hao is happy, he is still very sober: "Finishing the film is nothing. In the end, we still have to see what kind of results the film can achieve."
"I think this movie will be successful, don't you think? Feihong..."
Yu Feihong also smiled and said: "Yes, this movie is a rare type of movie nowadays. It will definitely be refreshing for the audience. If nothing else, I must support a movie ticket."
"Thank you then, don't forget to help promote it then."
"sure……"
As the male lead in the film, he is an absolute star. Guo Tao took on "Manslaughter" when he originally had no roles to take. However, the nearly three months of filming experience made him look at Zhang Hao and the film with admiration.
"I was originally very skeptical about whether this movie would work, but after personally participating in it, I think it can work." Guo Tao said to Zhang Hao confidently.
Zhang Hao patted Guo Tao on the shoulder and said, "I would like to lend you your kind words. I hope we have the opportunity to continue our cooperation in the future."
"Absolutely..." Guo Tao agreed.
Producer Liu Hao raised his loudspeaker and shouted: "It's finished. Let's have a wrapping banquet at the hotel tonight."
"Okay..." The crew cheered and quickly called it a day and returned to the hotel for the closing banquet.
There was a finals banquet after returning to China, but it was eaten by the main creators and the producers, and had nothing to do with them.
The crew also has some local staff, extras and so on. They don't need to attend the closing banquet. They can go home after receiving their money.
