Lin Mengchu registered a company called Beidou Investment Co., Ltd. The registered capital is one million, and there are only two shareholders. She and Chen Cheng each hold 50%. To invest in "Nightclub", Beidou invested 500,000, accounting for 50%.
Fifty percent, Shenzhen Music Production Company contributed 100,000, and was also responsible for the salaries of the director, field management and other staff, plus post-editing, which also accounted for 50% of the investment.
Theoretically speaking, Shencheng Music Production Company and Beidou Company should have the same right to speak, or even higher, but Lao Zhang is an unprincipled person. He will do whatever Lin Mengchu says, and it will be settled in the end anyway.
The total investment was only one million, and it was basically used by the second son of the Ye family to practice for his relatives.
He saw this very clearly. When interviewing actors, he also followed Lin Mengchu's words. When Chen Cheng saw it, he shook his head repeatedly and said: "Manager Zhang, you are a senior in the industry. You should put forward more of your own opinions. Chu Chu, please wait a moment
Stop talking and listen to Manager Zhang."
Lao Zhang almost burst into tears. He finally added his title to his last name. But he still remembered who was the real sponsor father. He looked at Lin Mengchu and said, "Isn't this bad?"
Lin Mengchu snorted and said arrogantly: "Since Mr. Chen said so, let's do this. Lao Zhang, from now on, we will watch more, listen more and talk less. Do you think this is good?"
Can Lao Zhang still say something bad? Everything Miss Lin says is right. Of course, if he can hold the power in his hands, it will be more or less useful, and it will not be in vain for him to accompany the two of them.
A young man is fooling around here.
After excluding Lin Mengchu's nonsense, things suddenly progressed quickly. In the hands of professionals, many things are the same as industrial processes, with a set of fixed standards and steps. Auditions will begin on November 16th, and the 20th
The candidates have been decided and the production will start on the 22nd.
There are not many things that Chen Cheng and Lin Mengchu need to do. They just watch how others do it every day. Except for the script, which is given by Chen Cheng, everything else is done by professionals. The director and other staff members are from Shencheng Music.
It was produced by a production company, and they even produced a screenwriter.
"What do they mean by releasing a screenwriter?" Lin Mengchu whispered in Chen Cheng's ear: "Do they not believe us?"
"After all, we are not in this major. Even if we read some related books, there will still be a lot of omissions, so isn't it a good thing to send an extra person over to help check for omissions? It's not necessary anyway.
We pay extra.”
Lin Mengchu thought that this was also the case, and immediately felt happy. Spending her own money and spending other people's money had completely different feelings. Then she saw the cartoon that Chen Cheng was drawing, "This is the difference."
Mirror picture?”
"Yeah, it's quite interesting. Do you want to give it a try?"
Chen Cheng can draw clear pictures very quickly, and can finish one in ten minutes. The background on the picture is blurred, and only the expressions of a few characters are vividly drawn with a few strokes. The male lead, the female lead, and others
The characters were all very similar to real people. Lin Mengchu found it interesting, so he took the drawing board and pencil over and started drawing "shushuashuashuashuashu".
After a while, she finished a painting, handed it to Chen Cheng, and asked with a smile: "How did my painting go?"
Chen Cheng looked at the stick figure inside the square, nodded, and said, "Very good!"
The director came over and said, "The opening ceremony is about to be held. Come over and burn incense together."
I don’t know why, but many industries still have the habit of using three animals for sacrifice. Not only in the film and television industry, the construction industry and many other industries also have similar rituals. Maybe it’s for peace of mind? It’s just a formality, Chen Cheng
There was no resistance at all, and he and Lin Mengchu stood in front of the crowd, leading six or seven actors and a lot of staff to kiss the big pig's head.
After the power-on ceremony, everyone shared the pork head meat. It was better than before, and no food was wasted. Many years ago, the domestic trend became to encourage consumption, various loans, installments, and think of ways
Let the people spend money, and the tradition of "hardship, simplicity, and self-reliance" that was previously promoted has long since disappeared.
"Hello, Miss Lin," Xu Zheng, who plays He Sanshui, walked up and said with a smile on his face: "The script is very good, I like it very much."
Xu Zheng, who was middle-aged, not only became bald, but also became stronger, and his combat effectiveness was rising steadily. When he saw Lin Mengchu's good-looking face and fashionable dress, he came up to strike up a conversation. Lin Mengchu shook hands with him and said
: "It is our company's honor for Mr. Xu to come and participate in the show..."
There was a half-smile on her face, and with a little force on her hand, the other person's expression suddenly changed. Lin Mengchu let go of his hand and said with a smile: "I'll leave it to Mr. Xu for the next few days."
Xu Zheng put his right hand behind his back and looked at the other person in surprise. He never expected that such a beautiful girl could be so strong. Although the other person was tall and had long legs, it was too strong!
Chen Cheng handed the storyboard he drew to the director and said, "I drew this based on the script. See if you can use it."
Director Li, who also had no name, took a look at the result of the storyboard and couldn't help but admired: "The painting is really good! I didn't expect you to have such ability. Well, can you lend it to me to take a look at?"
Chen Cheng is nearly two meters tall, broad and thick, and powerful. He looks like a social man who is more suitable for holding a knife than a pen.
"This is a copy. Director, you can just take it."
Lin Mengchu waved from the side, "Chen Cheng!"
He walked over and asked, "What's wrong?"
"This is my classmate Chen Cheng, who is also my boyfriend. He is responsible for the logistics of the crew. If you have any other matters, you can contact him." Lin Mengchu took Chen Cheng's arm and said with a smile: "This is Teacher Xu Zheng, the director of our film.
The top priority of the movie is that you have to meet any requirements."
Xu Zheng raised his head and looked at Chen Cheng, who was full of muscles. He was muttering in his heart, but he still smiled, stretched out his right hand and said, "Then I'll leave it to Mr. Chen."
Chen Cheng smiled, shook hands with the other party, and said, "Teacher Xu, you're too polite. If you have any instructions, just tell me."
After the opening ceremony, the actors went back to rest and prepare for the next day's shooting. The crew first checked the venue and made sure everything was correct before driving back to the hotel.
In the evening, Director Li read through a thick stack of storyboards and felt more confident. This movie is very simple to begin with, and with such detailed storyboards, it can be shot by one person. The only thing is
The problem is that it depends on the performance of the actors, but this time the actors have filmed many works, so there is no need to perform beyond the standard, as long as they perform normally.
The crew started shooting on time. The first scene usually chooses a relatively simple scene, and this shooting was no exception. The movie "Nightclub" was not shot in a nightclub, but in a supermarket open in the middle of the night. The protagonist He Sanshui came to China personally.
Years ago, he was an unemployed vagrant who had accomplished nothing. He won 9,500 yuan in a supermarket, but the landlady kept refusing to pay him, so he hijacked the supermarket staff at night and tied up the heroine in the lounge at the back.
He and another staff member sold things at the front desk, and all the money they received went into their own pockets.
The first scene was shot when He Sanshui met the proprietress Wang Sufen. Wang Sufen played at the mahjong table every night and rarely came to the supermarket. She would only come back to get money after losing all. But this time she came back and opened the cashier.
Look, there was nothing inside, so he said angrily: "Where's the money?"
The protagonist He Sanshui's voice came from outside the screen, "Here's the money!"
As soon as the scene turned, the protagonist, who was mostly bald, had a cigarette in the corner of his mouth, folded his hands in front of his chest, and said to the proprietress: "Wang Sufen, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
This scene is very simple, mainly relying on the expression on the face of the male protagonist to support the comedy effect. When Xu Zhengren reaches middle age, it is when he starts to become greasy, and he plays the role of He Sanshui vividly, as if there really is such a person
After losing his job, his wife left him, and he became addicted to buying lottery tickets.
It was over after one take, and Director Li shouted from behind the camera: "It's over!"
He walked forward with a cheerful face and said to Xu Zheng, "Teacher Xu, you did a great job!"
It’s natural to have good acting skills. Xu Zheng was born in a major. He has filmed many film and television works in his early years, and has been honing his skills in a drama troupe for so many years. Doesn’t his acting skill look bad? Xu Zheng smiled with a smile on his face and said politely: “There is room for improvement!
"
He took the initiative and said: "I think it can be performed in different ways, director, how about we try again?"
Try it or die... Ahem, this is nonsense. Director Li felt very happy, and it was a pleasure to work with such talented actors. He sat back behind the camera and shouted loudly with a loudspeaker: "
We passed the one just now, but let’s take a few more!”
The bald Xu Zheng's fighting power is more than ten times stronger than when he first debuted. For the same role and the same scene, he changed five different performance methods in succession, and quickly established his core position in the crew. Those textbooks are just like
Although the performance method is not superb and is a bit exaggerated, it is just right in a comedy.
Comedy has some similarities with stage plays and dramas. They all need to be a little exaggerated, but they cannot be as big as stage plays. Therefore, actors who have a background in stage plays and plays, when they first switch to filmmaking
, generally it should be kept slightly closed.
The performance of Xu Zheng, a middle-aged bald man, can almost be said to be just right. However, he himself was still not satisfied. After seeing the results of the shooting, he said: "It's still a little bit disappointing."
Director Li praised: "It's already very good! Let's continue filming first."
Xu Zheng's acting skills are good, and Li Xiaolu and several other supporting actors are also very experienced, so the shooting accuracy is very fast, and there are rarely any jams. The original shooting time was twenty days, but it only took ten
The main plot had been filmed in just a few days. If Xu Zheng hadn't been too strict with himself, it would have taken only six or seven days to film it all.
