In the end, the three of them went to the hotel and talked a lot about fraud. Gu Yi and Liang Na also talked about what they had learned during this period.
After chatting, Gu Yi went back to school, and Liang Na went back to her home in Yanjing.
In the next two days, they changed several places to continue their understanding, and also talked a lot with the corresponding anti-fraud police.
Liao Facun would take them to have a meal every night to summarize what they learned during the day, but Li Xi and Song Tian still found reasons not to come, and even on the last day they didn't even go to the prison.
The reason is that the company has arranged business for them and they must go there to participate.
This made Liao Facun even more unhappy. Your business is important, but my movie is not important, right?
Gu Yi and Liang Na spent a lot of effort to calm down Liao Facun.
…
After understanding, they can go back and rest for three more days, and then start shooting on time three days later. This time the shooting location is in Hainan.
The three main filming locations are in an ancient town, an old elementary school and a large hotel.
The hotel was mainly used to shoot the casino scenes, the town was used to shoot the exterior scenes, and the elementary school was used as a fraud den.
This was Liao Facun's first time making a movie, so he didn't attract much investment, only 80 million in total.
In this era where movie shooting can easily cost hundreds of millions, and some large-scale productions can even reach 700-800 million, 80 million seems a bit shabby.
Of course, in the previous earth, "Crazy Stone" invested more than three million yuan, and it was a miracle that it finally won more than 30 million yuan at the box office.
It's a pity that there is no such movie in this world.
Everyone starts off very high.
In this "Give It a Chance", Li Xi's salary alone was 30 million, which accounted for more than one-third. Together with the salaries of other actors, this also led to their subsequent filming process. First, we must minimize errors and avoid repeated rework. Second, we can only be a little rudimentary in the way of service.
After arriving at the hotel on the first day, Liao Facun asked his old partner, assistant director Lu Kun, who had been following him, to call everyone up to read the script together.
"I believe everyone has read the script, but I still have to mention that in this film, what I want to reflect is reality. I have also made criminal investigation dramas before, so I will definitely do whatever it takes to be realistic. It is required to use as few substitutes as possible and as little cutout as possible.”
Afterwards, Liao Facun strung together the story line of the entire movie.
"Well, okay, now that I'm done, if you have any other questions, I can answer them."
Gu Yi didn't have any problems because he had already asked them before. Liang Na had the same problem. During the time she went to the prison to study, her questions were almost answered.
Finally, Li Xiyou stood up leisurely.
"Director, I have a problem here. I think our movie is not realistic enough, because I play the male lead, a programmer who was deceived. I also have very good skills. Logically speaking, I should be there. He is taken very seriously, but he is often beaten in the script.
What if the fight is overdone and someone goes on strike? Or if you crash your program on purpose, the loss will be huge. "
"Li Xi, I can answer your question. There is no such thing as a strike over there. You must have heard it in prison some time ago. As long as you don't obey, they will naturally have solutions.
Who would risk his life in exchange for a breath? It’s not that there are no such people, but I don’t want to reflect this kind of person in the script. "
"Director, I still think these scenes should be changed. It would be better to change it to show that the protagonist is very valued in the fraud park. The boss there uses various means to make the protagonist obey, but the protagonist has been secretly contacting the country, and finally cooperates with the inside and outside. Taking down this den will be in line with positive energy, and the box office will be higher, right?"
Liao Facun was stunned when he heard this, because he had given the script to the other party two months ago, and you are just saying this now?
If you made the movie so great, wouldn't I have to write the script from scratch?
"That's impossible. This script cannot be changed."
"I stick to my opinion anyway, but you are the director, so you must have the final say." Li Xi smiled and then asked, "Director, are we finished with today's meeting?"
"It's over."
"Then I'll go back and rest first. I've been on a plane for more than three hours and have a meeting as soon as I land without much rest. I have to go back and sleep for a while."
After that, he went directly back to the room.
Song Tian did not leave this time.
But Li Xi's attitude made Facun very angry. When he was filming a TV series, who among the crew couldn't be honest?
Just reshoot it, do whatever you want.
As a result, I met this kind of person for the first time while filming a movie?
When he invited Li Xi before, he originally planned to use Li Xi's traffic to increase the box office at that time. He didn't even expect the other party to perform well. After all, this role is just like that. He just needs to play it more honestly. It's not as intense as Gu Yi's character.
But what is your attitude now?
I didn't spend 30 million to let you be a jungler.
Then he directly announced the adjournment of the meeting and called Li Xi's agent on the spot.
"What's going on with Li Xi? It's just that he didn't review the script with me, the director, and the other leading actors when he went to study before. This time he has to change the script? I am the director or he is the director, can he film it? "
When the agent heard that Liao Facun was angry, he also said some nice things, but still asked sideways if the script could be changed.
"I'm telling you, you can't change a word of the script."
Then the agent said that he would go back and persuade Li Xi, and also said something about how it was difficult to get this role and that Liao Facun was very capable.
The agent probably did talk to Li Xi after that, and Li Xi didn't say anything about changing the script.
Instead, he followed through the startup ceremony normally.
Then the filming of the movie started.
The previous plot is actually not difficult, it is mainly literary drama.
Li Xi resigned angrily due to the leadership's deliberate difficulty and the product manager's constant need to propose some impossible solutions.
Immediately afterwards, the protagonist's friend said that he had found a very generous overseas company, and his monthly salary was twice that here, and it also included food and accommodation.
But just these scenes took Li Xi five days to shoot.
And he was often late. He said he had to get off work at six o'clock in the evening, and then left to take care of himself.
Liao Facun tolerated it for five days. After all, every day after the machine was turned on, the rent of the machine space and the food, drink and toilet of the personnel all cost money.
But on the sixth day, they began to take pictures of Myanmar.
The scene was changed to the old streets and schools of the ancient town.
The chase scene in the ancient town was filmed for a day and a half, and it was only in the afternoon that the protagonist and others were finally caught and beaten and kicked by the goons from the park.
"Look carefully, where are you kicking? Do you have eyes?"
"Are you sick? Why did you hit him so hard? Director, I don't want to see this person again."
"Director, the extra kicked me just now, a bit hard. I'm going to the hospital tomorrow for a checkup. If everything goes well, I'll come back the day after tomorrow."
Liao Facun still endured it.
On the ninth day.
Finally, they were photographed in the park, where they were about to be beaten again.
But this time it was a stick.
Before the filming started, Liao Facun had specifically told the costars to use less force when fighting.
But when the stick fell on Li Xi, Li Xi got angry again.
"No more filming, no more filming, what the hell, I'm here to film, not to be beaten!"
"Director, please change the script, otherwise this movie won't be filmed. I'm afraid I'll be beaten to death before the movie is finished."
