(Thanks to book friend "D Diao Shen Xing" for his 3 recommendation votes and "Yuan Gang Zhen" for his 1 monthly vote.)
The atmosphere was harmonious, and Director Lin Fei began to explain to Xie Yu and the others his purpose in making this low-budget horror film.
What kind of directors are popular in the market now are naturally those who can make money for the capital side.
If Lin Fei waits for time, he doesn't know how long it will take to get through his qualifications before he can take the camera independently.
And if so, if you spend your own money to give it a try, as long as you can get your money back, there will definitely be investors.
Invest in his new movie, a virtuous circle, and he will be up soon.
After several compliments, Director Lin Fei handed Zheng Jiaming the previously prepared footage to give Zheng Jiaming an impression.
Then, Director Lin Fei began to change the script.
About three or four hours later, the minibus crossed the road and passed through the path and arrived at a single-family villa hidden in the forest.
According to Li Ming, the site manager, this villa was built by a nouveau riche. He doesn't live in it during the day, so he lets an agency rent it out for short periods of time.
Several crews have rented it for short periods of time, and director Lin Fei also came here, and this time it was his turn to rent it.
However, the time is only one month. After the shooting is completed, you need to restore it as much as possible, otherwise you will be fined.
Therefore, after entering the villa, Xie Yu's first shooting job was not to shoot people, but to shoot scenes in the villa, which will be restored and used in the future.
However, Xie Yu was very curious about the shooting and didn't think anything of it.
On the first day, they didn’t start shooting. They just opened some shooting tools, but Xie Yu saw the clapper board that can write the shooting scenes for later editing, the long recording pole, the furry microphone... It was really interesting.
Then, the next day, the other actors were still rehearsing, but Zheng Jiaming shot the sunrise early in the morning, and then began to drag Xie Yu around to take photos.
On the third day, the filming finally started. When the filming started, Xie Yu found that filming was not as fun as she thought. Every day was rehearsals, positioning, long shots, medium shots, close shots, and over-the-shoulder shots.
Of course, during filming, Xie Yu felt that director Lin Fei was indeed very capable and could solve problems quickly every time there was a problem.
Finally, Xie Yu also followed director Lin Fei's request, put on a "beggar suit", said some unexplained lines, and used strange movements.
Another advantage is that Xie Yu had close contact with the four beauties on the set.
Especially when director Lin Fei discovered that he was naturally powerful, he specially set up some scenes for Xie Yu.
This really gave Xie Yu an advantage. Xie Yu always said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry," but I was very happy in my heart.
This day passed too fast, but within twenty days, after Xie Yu was intimately "hugged and killed" by Jiang Yilin three times, smelling the fragrant shampoo, Xie Yu finally finished it.
Then, he returned to school and took some additional shots in the school, especially Jiang Yilin's campus solo dance and the harmonious dance with several dancing girls who returned to school early.
Xie Yu decided to forget about finding a girlfriend in the future. If he wanted to find one, he would have to find a girl from the dance department. Her moves would be heart-wrenching.
The filming was basically over, and then directors Zheng Jiaming and Lin Fei began to use the school's editing room to continue editing.
Yang Jigong, a TV director, also participated. Xie Yu sometimes provided suggestions and was mainly responsible for logistics at the time.
Xie Yu also learned a lot. He really felt that the job of directing was not something that ordinary people could do. In just one month, Director Lin Fei became so thin.
By that time, Zheng Jiaming and Xie Yu had also become sallow.
It took more than ten days to cut out a standard 90-minute movie. Some of the live sound recordings were not good, so we redubbed them again.
This standard low-budget horror film "The Cabin in the Woods" has taken shape.
The plot of this movie is very simple. It is about Yilin Huajiang, a dance major, who received a black swan type dance role, but she is naturally kind and loving, but she can't dance well no matter what.
Senior sister Yang Jihong advised her not to put too much pressure on herself and could choose to show up to relax.
It happened that a friend had a vacation villa in the mountains, and he thought that he could get close to nature and maybe have more spiritual roots.
So, Yang Jihong took Jiang Yilin and her best friends Lin Mengxi and Chu Lin on vacation together.
Then, in the villa, they encountered Xie Yu, a deformed wolf child who was abandoned by his parents. Xie Yu was controlled by the wolf nature. When he saw that the mating season had come for his wolf friends, he went out to look for his kind.
They happened to meet Jiang Yilin who was practicing dancing in the forest. Xie Yu walked over, but because she didn't know how to communicate with people, she was dumbfounded.
But the kind-hearted Jiang Yilin took Xie Yu in like a holy mother.
Then, there are some tempting pictures of bathing.
But not long after, Xie Yu lost his mind and humiliated Chu Lin on the night of the full moon. Yang Jihong accused Xie Yu and Jiang Yilin did not believe in the power of the Holy Mother.
It was already too late until Xie Yu humiliated and killed Yang Jihong and Lin Mengxi one after another.
Jiang Yilin began to go dark, killing Xie Yu who had done bad things, and finally returned to school and jumped out of the perfect black swan.
After watching this film, Xie Yu was also stunned. He didn't expect that he was so bad, and he didn't know it.
In fact, many places were filmed with the help of cameras, and Yang Jihong was originally the first to die. Zheng Jiaming was "afraid" that his girlfriend would suffer, so he let Chu Lin die first.
After the film was completed, the four beauties were shown and they immediately fell in love with Xie Yu.
Although teachers at the school criticized it, Zheng Jiaming's relatives at the top of the theater chain were still very satisfied and paid the price of 800,000 yuan.
And for Zheng Jiaming's sake, after his introduction, he sold 300,000 yuan to rural theaters, 300,000 yuan to movie channels, 300,000 yuan to Internet copyrights, 500,000 yuan to the underground DV market, and more than 400,000 yuan to others.
In this way, a total of more than 2.6 million yuan was sold.
During the filming, because of Zheng Jiaming's relationship, it only cost tens of thousands of yuan to rent the filming equipment.
Calculated this way, the cost of the film is only less than 1.2 million.
This not only doubles the profit, but also allows the previous debts to be paid off, and with the qualifications of independent shooting, investors will also come.
Sure enough, three months later, this horror film about a cabin in the woods stayed in the late-night slots of theaters for more than three months, and was sold by the theater to an important remote town theater in the city for 300,000 yuan.
But its box office total reached 8 million. Lin Fei was somewhat famous in some film investment circles, and some people started waving checks.
Zheng Jiaming was also very loyal. After asking Lin Fei to give him a hundred thousand red envelope, he gave Xie Yu another fifty thousand red envelope.
Although Xie Yu was very happy, he didn't like it that much.
The reason is that at the end of August, he caught a Shanghai Ganglian, and in September, Xie Yu caught two more monster stocks, Shanghai Materials Trading and CITIC Innovation.
Xie Yu's net worth is almost 20 million.
When it comes to operation, although Xie Yu has a premonition that there will be many benefits, it will also cause a lot of troubles.
I started transferring money out of the stock market. When my father received the 50,000 yuan from Xie Yu and remitted it, he thought something had happened to Xie Yu!
Xie Yu had to explain that he earned it from making movies, and he had to show some proof of transfer before his father would believe him.
Xie Yu, who had no other choice, thought of the real estate situation in Yangcheng.
When I first came to Yangcheng, it was still 14,000 per square meter, but now it has risen to 16,000.
I thought of this, combined with the knowledge I recently learned in school, and the big villa I saw when I was filming a movie.
After asking about some house purchase policies. Xie Yu found that even though he had transferred his household registration from his hometown to the school’s collective household registration because of the policy.
But they are not considered real Yangcheng residents and are eligible to buy a house, but their loans will be restricted.
Xie Yu, who was afraid of trouble, directly found an intermediary and spent 10 million with real money to invest in a single-family villa worth 5 million as his future residence in Yangcheng.
A small three-bedroom apartment and a two-bedroom apartment are used as investments, and let the agent take care of them for you and collect rent.
Then, Xie Yu thought that maybe the bull market was really coming.
In October, Shunrong Co., Ltd. and Shengdalian invested 20 million to buy a house and rent it out.
In November, the 100-yuan trousers industry has potential and Hengxin, 20 million to buy a house and rent it out for investment.
In December, Northern Latitude Communications purchased a house for rent with RMB 10 million.
Money makes a man bold. With confidence, Xie Yu is indeed more confident in doing things.
