Extra actor Liu Ge dropped the extra actors off at the entrance of the Marriott Hotel. Zhang Hao lived nearby, not too far away. He just walked back.
On the way, I also used the 100 yuan I just got to buy some braised meat, a box of white rice, and packed three meat and two vegetarian snacks for dinner tonight.
Returning to the rental house, it was a small three-story building. The landlord and his family lived on the first floor. The second and third floors were small single rooms that were rented out to drifters. There were about a dozen rooms.
Zhang Hao was in the leftmost room on the third floor. He went upstairs and passed by the room next to him. A young mature woman in cool clothes came out, named Sister Ling.
"Hey, Xiaohao, why are you back so early today?" Sister Ling asked Zhang Hao with a teasing look, her peach blossom eyes shining brightly.
Zhang Hao opened the door with the key, nodded and said: "Yes, it's time to finish the work early."
"That's great." Sister Ling followed Zhang Hao into the house. Seeing Zhang Hao put food on the table, she frowned and said, "How can you eat these things every day? I came to my place for dinner tonight. I bought a lot.
vegetable."
"This...isn't this bad?" Zhang Hao wanted to refuse.
"What's wrong? This is to catch you up. Welcome to Hengdian. When the meal is ready, I'll come over and call you. Do you know how to drink? Drink some with me." Sister Ling didn't give Zhang Hao a chance to refuse.
"Okay then..." It was just a meal, so Zhang Hao agreed.
Sister Ling twisted her waist and went out with satisfaction, and agreed to come see Zhang Hao after dinner. In fact, Zhang Hao also understood that someone like him, who has good looks and has just left school and is not very experienced in the world, is very popular with a Hengdian veteran like Sister Ling.
Women like it.
This type of women will grab those young people who have just arrived in Hengdian and attack them when they can still be deceived. If they are satisfied, they will develop a super-friendship relationship. If they are not satisfied, they will jump into the trap. Anyway, they will not suffer any loss.
Anyway, men in Hengdian are lazy and women are bad, at least most of them are like that.
Time has passed so long that Zhang Hao's mind about Sister Ling and him has become blurry. He vaguely remembers that nothing happened to them, but something happened later, and Sister Ling returned to her hometown.
Zhang Hao also left Hengdian soon after, and never saw Sister Ling again.
Regardless of that, Zhang Hao took a simple shower in the bathroom first. Each single room is equipped with a bathroom on the left or right of the entrance. After the bathroom is a bed, and opposite the bed is a table and chairs.
There is a bedside table and socket beside the bed, and a window faces the entrance door.
This type of single room is very common in Hengdian, and the rent is very cheap. The monthly rent is only more than 200, which is far cheaper than the rent in Beijing.
After Zhang Hao took a cold shower, he changed into beach shorts and a vest. There was no air conditioning installed in the single room, so he had to use a fan to dissipate heat.
Taking out his laptop, Zhang Hao planned to prepare for his upcoming career as a director. The first step was to prepare a script.
It must be a big problem for a new director to decide which film to make his debut. Some directors are lucky enough to become famous overnight, while others waste decades before waiting for a rare opportunity.
The same goes for scripts. There are countless scripts that have become moldy and rotten in film and television companies. How to ensure that your scripts are recognized by major film and television companies is a very technical and metaphysical issue.
If Zhang Hao had the reputation of being a national teacher at this time, even if he made "The Legend of Qin Hui", countless companies would pay for it.
But Zhang Hao is not the case. If he goes to tell the film company now that he is confident in filming "The Wandering Earth", he will definitely be regarded as a madman by the film and television company, and then be beaten out with a stick.
Therefore, it is not advisable to be too ambitious, and you must be down-to-earth. After all, the aliens only gave you limited help, and did not give you any plug-ins, nor a large amount of start-up capital.
Therefore, Zhang Hao wrote down the three characteristics that the first script should have on the created text: low cost, selling point, and achievable.
With these three conditions, he can then choose from the movies he has watched. The aliens have strengthened his memory, so the movies in his mind are like imprints that cannot be forgotten even if he wants to.
First of all, there is no need to consider "Crazy Stone". Director Ning Hao has already made it, and Zhang Hao has not deleted this movie. Secondly, some inappropriate movies are not good. "Thirty-day Love" is good, and the chick movie is a success.
of model.
However, the success of this film is due to the right time, right place and right people. Zhang Hao may not be as successful as his previous life if he makes it himself.
Moreover, this movie has an original novel. If Zhang Hao wants to make it, he still needs to buy the copyright, let alone whether he has the money. Even if he has the money, whether they are willing to sell it to him is still one thing.
After some thought, Zhang Hao set his sights on suspense movies.
Suspense movies have a sophisticated structure and strict logical thinking, which highlights the importance of the script. And Zhang Hao happened to have a very suitable movie in his mind, the movie "Manslaughter" released in 2019.
This movie is adapted from the Indian film "Manslaughter", which was produced in 2015. In fact, "Manslaughter" is also a remake, and the remake is also from the 2013 Indian film "Contest".
This is very exciting. Although Zhang Hao did not ask Alien to delete this movie, in 2008, there was not even a shadow of this "Contest".
So Zhang Hao wrote the title on the document: "Manslaughter"
Zhang Hao believes that instead of referring to the domestically produced "Manslaughter", it is better to refer to the two versions of Indian movies and then find a suitable scope of adaptation. Some aspects of Indian movies certainly cannot be applied to domestic movies. If they are made according to Indian movies, they will be censored.
one question.
After deciding on the subject matter, the scope, and the movie, Zhang Hao started writing the script on his laptop, planning to create a complete script in a few weeks.
At the same time, observe the Hengdian crew, learn about the current crew operations and filming costs, and then make an estimate to see how much production costs it will cost to film "Manslaughter".
Cost estimation is a skill that most directors need to possess. Except for top directors who don't care about cost and shoot at will, other directors cannot do without the word cost when filming.
Without money, you can't make a movie or a play.
As soon as the script was written, which was about a few hundred words long, Sister Ling came over and knocked on the door: "Xiao Hao, the food is ready, come and eat!"
"Okay, Sister Ling, come right away." Zhang Hao put away his laptop, closed the door, and went to eat in Sister Ling's room next door.
"Come on, you're welcome. Sister made a lot of delicious food today, including prawns." Sister Ling opened two bottles of beer, gave Zhang Hao a cup, and poured wine.
"Thank you..." Zhang Hao took the cup, sat on the small bench, and looked at the sumptuous meal in front of him.
"Let's get started! What are you waiting for?" Sister Ling said with a smile.
When Zhang Hao heard this, he was not polite and started eating directly with chopsticks. I have to say that Sister Ling is very good at cooking. She has a good relationship with the landlord and borrowed the kitchen to cook this table of dishes.
Sister Ling is sitting cross-legged on the bed, wearing a short skirt, a sports vest on the upper body, and a transparent sun protection garment on the outside, showing off the charm of a sexy and mature woman.
If Zhang Hao was still the young man he was before, he might have been seduced by Sister Ling.
But right now, it's not that interesting.
Sister Ling was very talkative. While eating, she chatted with Zhang Hao, starting from family, school, and personal love life, and the topics became more and more intimate.
Zhang Hao was eating the food and dealing with it at the same time, not picking up on Sister Ling's problems at all.
When her plan failed, Sister Ling came up with another plan. She took off her transparent sun protection clothing and said, "Oh, the weather is so hot, I'm sweating! Xiaohao, are you hot? Take off your vest to cool off."
"
Zhang Hao waved his hands and said: "Not hot, not hot..."
"It's not hot, come on, sister, help you take off your clothes." Sister Ling said, got out of bed, and wanted to help Zhang Hao take off his clothes.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and it was a female voice: "Sister Ling, can I come in?"
She was an acquaintance, so Sister Ling secretly cursed her ignorance and had to open the door. The two girls walked in and saw a table of dishes and Zhang Hao, who was already full. Their eyes lit up: "Wow, what a feast!"
Sister Ling could only say politely: "Have you eaten? Do you want to eat something?"
I thought that these two uninvited guests would refuse politely, but I didn't expect that the two girls were not polite at all: "Okay, okay, we won't be polite."
After that, everyone found their bowls and chopsticks and sat down.
Sister Ling cursed secretly, unable to take back what she said, so she had to force a smile and watch the two uninvited guests disrupt her plan.
This saves trouble. With two outsiders here, Sister Ling's gradually bold behavior has also restrained.
After drinking and eating, Zhang Hao went back to his room and easily avoided Sister Ling's entanglement.
