(Thanks to book friend "ding Ding Hongbin" for 1 monthly ticket, "Orange" bar for 2 recommended tickets, "Ghost Angel" for 3 recommended tickets, and "Dragon Emperor ysx" for 5 recommended tickets.)
Now regarded as temporary workers, Xie Yu's photo studio has a salary of more than 100 people. It can handle up to seven wedding preparation and shooting tasks at the same time in one day. It has also established good relationships with many florists, restaurants that provide wedding gifts, and can report wedding banquets.
Many things are like a snowball. As long as you start and build a solid structure, success is not too difficult.
In short, Xie Yu is now working, studying, and gaining experience without any delay. Everyone in the company is happy, and Xie Yu is also satisfied.
At least half a year has passed, and the risk of living in a basement has been eliminated. I have some savings, but of course, I am still far away from buying a house in my heart.
I was in class that day, and I originally planned to escape to the library!
When class was about to end, I heard from my classmates that there was a senior Ning who was filming a movie in Fog City and was returning to school to hold a briefing. Would you like to go and have a look? If you can join in halfway, it would be a qualification.
After hesitating for a moment, he looked at the experience value on the career attribute panel, now that it was selected.
Movies, come in contact with them sooner or later, it doesn’t hurt to go and see them...
However, the round-faced and not-ugly Senior Ning’s enthusiastic speech in the small auditorium was okay at first, but soon some students reacted, "Fuck, another liar, unreliable, tricking us into doing hard work and sponsoring."
Many students were very individual and jumped out of the way. Senior Ning was anxious in his heart, thinking of the crew that was about to stop filming, so he could only hold back his temper.
By the time the lecture was over, there were only about eight or eight students left in the small venue. Some of them wanted to ask questions about their shooting experience.
But seeing this round face, and then hearing the rough plot he told, whether it was diamonds, emeralds, or the creation of the Sichuan accent.
Xie Yu relaxed and greeted him!
At first, senior Ning Haoning thought Xie Yu was from the acting class when he saw the good-looking Xie Yu.
Coupled with the fact that he didn't look familiar, I was about to say that I had no acting skills.
When Xie Yu proposed that he could take out a sum of money, Senior Ning still didn't believe it.
After all, in his film crew, apart from Liu Hua's reputation as a new star director who trained new talents, he was just a senior who graduated from the photography department in 2003, and the actors in the crew were all unknown characters with little box office appeal.
The last negotiated condition was that Xie Yu could contribute one million to complete the second half of the filming.
The condition is that you can get 15% of the movie's box office dividend. After all, the original total shooting cost was only three million.
Xie Yu's request was "not too high". He didn't ask for 25%, and a quarter of the copyright was not considered to be adding insult to injury.
Then, in the name of studying, I got the title of assistant director and the "right to suggest" the subsequent editing of the film.
Regarding editing rights, Senior Ning would definitely not trust Xie Yu, a newcomer, but for the sake of money, he also gave him the right to make suggestions. You can listen to them or not!
However, for Xie Yu, he did get the opportunity to view the negatives of the behind-the-scenes shooting, and compare them with the finished photos in his memory. Then we will see what the means are.
After the money was in place, Xie Yu saw and packed it up, took a plane with Senior Ning, and went directly to the magical city of Sichuan Fog City. After the money was in place, the filming work continued.
Here, they are indeed all talented people, and they are really one step away from becoming popular. Therefore, Xie Yu spent money to buy the audio licenses for actors with big and small roles in the script.
Voices can be exchanged for money. Could this new childish assistant director be a stupid "second generation"?
They are all "little people" who come here now. At most they just think the pay is too little, and Director Ning gives them extra money and benefits!
Regarding the standard licensing contract that Xie Yu presented, he didn't hesitate and took the money to sign it.
On the other hand, Mr. Huang, who was in the dubbing class of Beijing Film Vocational College, knew about the problem of making money in dubbing, but everyone else had signed up, and he was very poor now. He just lacked an opportunity, so he signed up.
Mr. Huang's dubbing is very unique. Xie Yu specially paid for it and made it sound sealed. Mr. Huang was very charming and didn't say much.
A new digital high-definition digital video recorder rented by the crew
The camera I used, Sonyhd-F900R, doesn’t quite have the quality of a film, and can only be described as a “fake”, but it’s already excellent for such a poor crew.
Xie Yu was very satisfied. The digital camcorder was just convenient for Xie Yu to extract quick data. It would have been too troublesome to use film.
Then, after several shootings were completed, Xie Yu was able to use the equipment to quickly make preliminary on-site edits and achieve what Senior Ning wanted to achieve!
Previously, Senior Ning slowly opened up the filmed materials to Xie Yu, and Xie Yu also tentatively made preliminary edits.
Senior Ning was still very satisfied.
Xie Yu has been in the team for 12 days, and the "little people" multi-story narrative film with a two-month shooting plan is about to be completed.
After Senior Ning got "money", he was indeed very pursuing, but also spent a little too much. In order to "apologise", he even let Xie Yu play the role of a policeman representing justice.
Of course, the remuneration is guaranteed, but if not, Xie Yu still pays for the closing banquet.
As for the editing fee for post-production..., Xie Yu said that he can pay it, and he doesn't need the copyright fee, but the editing rights...
Senior Ning could only compromise and give Xie Yu some editing rights, and then returned to Beijing to start looking for a "high-quality and low-price" editing room and editor.
Beijing Film Studio and Youth Studio have editing rooms, which are free, but for free stuff, it is unlikely that Senior Ning will have his turn, so he has to queue up.
Moreover, there are more "internships" and "experiments" in editing there. Senior Ning hopes that his movies can be shown on the big screen instead of being sold to TV stations.
After half a month, Senior Ning finally "borrowed" a commercial editing studio that used to advertise TV music through his previous advertising relationship.
Although I only do commercials and TV shows, the editing room equipment is the latest and more suitable for processing digital materials.
However, when Senior Ning came to the photo studio to see Xie Yu, he actually saw that Xie Yu had already finished cutting the hair at the miscellaneous workstation in his photo studio.
Including dubbing, soundtrack, movie texture, and even for the first time, I felt that the people in the camera looked better and more suitable than the real actors!
In this regard, what can Senior Ning say? Apart from complaining that Xie Yu took a long time to edit his guest role and that his image was too good, the other thing is to quietly quit the commercial editing room and discuss the release with Xie Yu thing.
The original plan was to release it from late June to July. Now that it has been edited, it is better than expected, so naturally it will be released earlier.
The two planned to release it on May Day, but unfortunately when it was submitted for review, it passed successfully.
But the time arranged above is in mid-May...
The two of them are not qualified to object, wait...
In mid-May, before the release, Xie Yu was still collecting information in the library. There was no way to avoid the inner demon curse, so Xie Yu could only do it manually as much as possible.
With decades of accumulation, it can be said that Beiying has covered all types of film and television materials, and with the "motivation" that the experience value is about to rise to the top, what else can it do, liver...
Just receiving a call from Senior Ning, Xie Yu had a headache and could only put down the book first!
When they arrived at the rented house of Senior Ning and his girlfriend, there was a table full of food, and Senior Huang and the others also arrived.
This time, Senior Ning finally believed that Xie Yu could no longer drink. He did not persuade her anymore and asked Xie Yu to just drink juice like her girlfriend.
Senior Ning did not persuade him to drink, and the others did not feel "feeling" any more power towards Xie Yu as the "financial sponsor". After all, the director's status at this time was indeed higher than that of the actor, unlike later, because of the dog leash theory in front of the camera.
Directing has become a profession that everyone can do. After all, compared to film shooting, the operation of digital camcorders with high-definition washable hard drives has indeed greatly lowered the shooting threshold.
After eating and drinking, everyone began to prepare nervously for the screening and premiere!
Because the small cost was not taken seriously, at the premiere, it was still the same relationship through the Capital Life Channel, where reporters were paid to interview and artificially created popularity traffic.
This is a normal publicity method, but after watching the video, the reporters who originally planned to pinch their noses really felt that it was not a loss, it was indeed worth it, and it has the potential to become popular...
open
On the first day of painting, it was not only 300,000 yuan.
Then half a million, then eight hundred thousand, rising every day.
Because it was not taken seriously at first, after ten days of release, the monthly box office reached 6 million at its peak, and major theaters spontaneously increased their filming rates.
The market is the most practical. At China Film Media, which has a hot attitude, Han Sanye, who is a producer, rarely summoned Senior Ning and Xie Yu.
Of course, the main target is Senior Ning. On the one hand, he is happy and comforted, but at the same time, he is also asking about the shooting plan for the next film.
China Film Media has plans to invest!
Senior Ning has received a lot of calls recently, and Mr. Han’s words are a solid endorsement.
You are successful and surrounded by good people.
Suddenly, there were more calls from Senior Ning, and there were also calls on Xie Yu’s mobile phone. Of course, the target was Senior Ning, and there were also scripts sent to ask for investment in filming.
Xie Yu more or less turned it over, with a rough main line and not even a split-shot script. The plot is old-fashioned and has no new ideas.
There are still some things I can’t understand, oh, it’s a prize film!
You use my money to win prizes for yourself, and you think Xie Yu should be grateful that he has this opportunity, with this face...
Forget it, there are hundreds of kinds of rice and thousands of kinds of people, don’t be angry.
Thinking about the people I met Mr. Han at China Film Media, art films are indeed the mainstream these days.
But as the head of the company, he naturally understands that commercial movies are what bring revenue to the company.
It’s not that art films are bad, they are art after all.
Commercial films are not good, and there is no money to feed art films.
Thanks to Mr. Han's attention, the daily box office quickly rose to eight million, but piracy organizations also reacted.
After only three days, the box office began to plummet. Half a month after its release, the daily box office was less than 3 million.
It was taken off the shelves 24 days after its release. The total ticket price was 71 million, not hundreds of millions, but the total cost including the additional publicity and distribution expenses in the later period was less than 6 million.
The profit doubled eleven times, and Senior Ning became famous for a while.
According to Mr. Han's instructions, after "Crazy Jade" was taken off the shelves, a sequel was released while it was still popular.
And directly asked for 50% of the investment quota, other private companies such as Pony, Chengtian, and Huayi took 40%. Senior Ning paid for the director fee and script fee, and exclusively owned 10%.
As for Xie Yu, what should I do?
Senior Ning was a little embarrassed, but he understood clearly and didn't say anything. He also agreed to continue to be his assistant director and help with post-production.
But no matter what, at least write the subsequent script first.
A new sequel appeared. After the movie was taken off the shelves, the box office was divided quickly. The total box office was 71 million. After deduction, because it was a "newcomer", the film company could only get 33%, and Xie Yu accounted for 10% of it. five.
For this film, Xie Yu spent more than 1.5 million, almost all the money he earned from the studio in this young year.
The income earned was 3.5 million, which was more than double. Of course, this was only the direct income from theaters. Copyright income also included distribution rights from television, the Internet, and railways and aviation, but this took a long time.
But for Xie Yu, it all means making a fortune in silence. The important thing is to get the first investment and gain. At the moment, Xie Yu is not too transparent in school.
Many students asked Xie Yu to help get other people's phone numbers, and they were able to get them, but the disappointment and hope depended on him.
What's more important to Xie Yu is that after the movie was taken off the shelves, on the career attribute panel, the temporary director experience finally reached level 5.
Coupled with the recent collection of so many supplementary materials from the Beijing Film Library, even though it is a manual version, it can be regarded as a systematic study.
This five-level temporary directing experience allowed Xie Yu to gain work experience five years after graduating from the undergraduate directing department.
But even though it only adds two years of experience, the background has been changed to that of a first-class film and television school like Beijing Film Academy, instead of second-rate or scattered knowledge pieces collected online.
Xie Yu even planned to make his own movie, but thinking about the behavior of theaters and pirates after "Jade" was released, Xie Yu decided to wait.
Maybe get a TV
As a drama practitioner, as long as the relationship with the Capital Life Channel is not too outrageous and the cost is controlled, choose one from leukemia, car accidents, amnesia, and inability to die!
Thinking of this, Xie Yu took out a pen and paper and started to draw a relationship design diagram...
"Classmate, are you writing a script?"
Covering it with his hand, Xie Yu looked up and saw that this familiar face was the desperate Sanniang Yang Mi!
She looked at Xie Yu with some curiosity. Xie Yu said, "Hello, classmate Yang, what's the matter?"
Yang Mi: "Do you know me?"
Xie Yu: "Let's consider it acquaintance. After all, he is number one in the professional class."
"Actually, I am also in level 05, but in a higher vocational class."
Yang Mi: "Thank you, classmate!"
"Is this writing a new script for Senior Ning?"
I just know... I'm overthinking it.
Xie Yu: "No, Senior Ning's scripts are usually polished by him and Sister Xing together."
Yang Mi: "When will Senior Ning's new play start?"
Xie Yu didn't hide it: "The China Film Group is urging us very hard. After the script comes out, it will already be in August or September!"
Yang Mi's face lit up: "Then thank you classmate and I'll treat you to dinner!"
Xie Yu: "I know what you mean, Yang Mi, but now Senior Ning is different from before. With China Film and those companies watching, I have no share at all, so naturally I can't say anything."
Yang Mi looked unbelieving, "You are an investor in Jade!"
Xie Yu: "It's hard to give someone a helping hand when it's time, but it's easy to put the icing on the cake. I heard that Yang was also a child star, so he should know better than me."
Yang Mi still didn't give up and said, "Is there really no chance?"
Xie Yu: "At least the script hasn't been released yet and I don't know any settings. I said it was OK. Can you believe it?"
Yang Mi: "That's true. Thank you classmate for inviting you next time!"
Xie Yu: "Okay"!
Looking at Yang Mi's leaving figure, Xie Yu felt that it was time for him to find a girlfriend. After all, he was also a handsome guy now, so there was a chance...
Forget it, comfort yourself, I'm not old enough, it's not time yet, read a book...
After that, Yuan Zhazha, Jiao Junyan, who originally ignored Xie Yu at level 05, came to see Xie Yu, and even Jiang Yiyan, who was at level 02, was really...
circle….
If they succeed, they are all good people.
