(Thanks to book friend "ding Ding Hongbin" for 1 monthly ticket, "Orange" for 2 recommendation tickets, "Ghost Angel" for 3 recommendation tickets, "Ye Liangchen's Dad" and "Dragon Emperor ysx" for 5 recommendation tickets. )
With experience in memory and the AI function of Muchen Bead, the script was perfected in just two days and then filed under the name of Xiaoyu Culture Company.
I went to "ask" Senior Ning for advice. There was nothing wrong with the script, and he could be given the title of producer.
After all, he just got married to Sister Xing and is planning to have a baby, so he really can't leave.
Of course, he could also introduce this person to Xie Yu. Xie Yu naturally coveted the photographer who often worked with Senior Ning, and quickly achieved his goal.
Then it was time to find actors. In Labyrinth of the Heart, the actresses are relatively weak, and it is a film that is somewhat biased towards men.
In terms of acting skills and price, I set my sights on a few teachers from the Beijing Film Academy.
I gave my script to the class teacher, and told the class teacher my plans and plans.
After waiting for a role as the head teacher, he quickly took Xie Yu to get to know Director Tian.
Director Tian looked at the script and asked, "Is it also imitating "Two Smoking Barrels? Is it the same as Ning Hao's script?"
Xie Yu: "Well, Director Tian, I worked as an assistant director on Senior Ning's crew, and Senior Ning also agreed to be my producer."
Director Tian: "You are a prudent person. The cost of this book is not high. With current technology and post-production, it will cost less than three million."
"This funding..."
Xie Yu: "I can pay for it myself."
Director Tian immediately smiled and said, "This is the best. It would be great if all the students were like this."
"By the way, classmate Xie, do you want to study as my graduate student?"
Xie Yu: "Um, can I do that? Vocational colleges are only for junior colleges, and only undergraduates are eligible!"
Director Tian: "Hey, who told you that junior college students can't study for graduate school? Let's analyze the specific issues in detail!"
Xie Yu: "Director Tian, you said it's a condition. How about letting me play the role of father!"
Dumb!
Class teacher: "Teacher, is this appropriate?"
Director Tian: "I'm only banned from directing, but I'm not banned from acting. If I star in one of my students' films, others won't be able to say anything about it!"
"Thank you, classmate, what do you think?"
Xie Yu: "Of course this is great, please excuse me, teacher!"
Director Tian: "It's so exciting, I recognize you as a student."
"Changes are too fast now, the same thing happens every day. We are lagging behind and our concepts cannot keep up with the market. But we have enough experience and can still help others."
Afterwards, he asked Xie Yu about his plans. Xie Yu only said that he wanted to choose the male lead, a senior from Grade 94, Fu Xiaolong, who is known as the civilian movie king.
The supporting actor wanted to give Zhang Wenrong, the role model of acting, the bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish, which is in line with the temperament of this film.
There is also Zhou Dehua, who plays the 99-level Captain Watanabe whom Xie Yu likes.
The heroine was naturally given to Yang Mi, and other roles could be given to teachers or classmates at school.
Director Tian was happy when he said this. After all, directors who were born in Beijing Film Academy have a tradition of using Chinese actors.
This "certificate of submission" suits him very well.
Xie Yu is also following the trend.
As a master among the five generations of directors, Director Tian quickly took Xie Yu's split-shot script and began to analyze it.
As long as the actor's salary is paid, the upper limit is Yang Mi's 50,000 yuan. After all, funds are limited and the shooting cycle is one month.
The location Xie Yu chose was just a rural area in Yanjiao for wedding celebrations.
As the economy continues to develop, there will also be farmers farming around the capital area.
Seeing that Xie Yu arranged things well, Director Tian was even more satisfied. Seeing that this handsome young man even wanted to introduce a partner to Xie Yu.
But when I think about Xie Yuding, who was born as a child star in 2005, and Yang Mi, who is number one in her profession, the two of them are almost the same age, so they may be boyfriend and girlfriend, so they are considered their own.
Preparations have begun. Thank you for your participation in the competition.
The crew of "Car" got the broken goods, plus a cameraman who had experience working with Senior Ning.
When we started the production at Yanjiao Farm in May, apart from some initial troubles and a little accident, everything went smoothly after that.
On this day, Yang Mi was dissatisfied that her character was offline so quickly and wanted to talk to Xie Yu about it!
Seeing Xie Yu and Director Tian sitting behind the camera, they didn't dare to act for a while.
Finally, Xie Yu said: "I passed...".
The crew was a little relaxed, but Zhang Wenrong, a drama addict, started to show off his acting skills and said: "Director, save one more thing, save one!"
Xie Yu: "No, it's fine, fine."
Fu Xiaolong was a little anxious: "Director, director, do you need to protect me? I think we can still make progress!"
Xie Yu waved his hands and said in secret, "Get out of the way. I've already cheated. Reshooting is a waste of time."
Director Tian opened his mouth but didn't say anything. The performance of the two people just now was similar in a TV series, but it was much different in a big-screen movie.
But in a drama group, the director is the biggest, and Xie Yu is an investor. If he said yes, he could only make a few remarks and Xie Yu would not listen.
Thinking of the recent situation among the crew, they nicknamed Xie Yu, "Xie Santiao!"
There are basically only three scenes for filming, which makes other harsh directors who shoot at least twenty times, thirty times, or even hundreds of times, and torture the actors almost crazy, really friendly.
In fact, Xie Yu also had some headaches.
Xie Yu respects these actors who are strict with themselves, but Xie Yu, who has the ability to beautify, only needs you to maintain basic standards.
After all, the full score is one hundred points. No matter how good you are, no matter how hard you take the test, you can't get more than one hundred points.
In fact, many character shots require natural adaptation, and if the acting is too good, it will affect some of the naturalness.
This is also one of the reasons why some directors with a strong literary and artistic flair prefer to shoot films with amateurs on a blank sheet of paper.
The people at Beiying, especially the teachers, have no problem with their acting skills.
The problem is taking it too seriously and thinking the next one will be better.
I also like to ask questions and look for standard answers.
Then there are the crew and actors led by Xie Yu. The original plan was to have no more than thirty people, but they like to lead students!
Then, the number of people quickly exceeded 100, and there were shadows of a mid-level crew. Although there was no need to pay for the film, it was necessary to take care of the food!
Yeah, it has become an educational film.
Xie Yucheng and "Xie Santiao" also have their factors.
Thanks to the power of Xie Santiao, Xie Yu finished the filming ten days ahead of schedule, and the film was completed in twenty days.
In this regard, Director Tian's attitude became general, and he regretted agreeing to accept Xie Yu as a student. It was a pity that this book was ruined.
But after returning to school, Director Tian specifically said hello and gave Xie Yu a post-editing room in the school, and even the editing room was ready.
But after waiting for a week and nothing happened, Director Tian couldn't help but call Xie Yu.
"What, you've already found someone to cut it, so fast!"
"Go back to school quickly and let everyone see it!"
"It's okay. I'll help you with the registration and release matters."
"well…."
Although he was a little disappointed, Director Tian still summoned the "original team" to watch the movie in the small auditorium and commit evil...
In fact, most teachers don't have much confidence. After all, the background is the graduation film of a graduate from a higher vocational class.
It was cut in a week, and it’s time to play!
Now I was even less confident, but after all the sins I had done, plus the tens of thousands of dollars in salary Xie Yu gave me, we still went to see it!
However, after the broadcast started, everyone was confused and confused. My acting skills? Is it that good?
It is rare that from the beginning to the end of the film, everyone only had emotions twitching and changing, and no one discussed anything.
At the end of the film, someone started to applaud, and then continued to applaud, and it became lively in an instant!
Yang Mi secretly glanced at Xie Yu several times. He was quite talented and handsome. I heard he didn’t have a girlfriend.
, otherwise he would take pictures of me...
Seeing that the finished film was so excellent, Director Tian became a substitute and asked for everyone: "Thank you, classmate, I would like to ask who edited this film. The editing was too, too, not good. It is a bit incredible."
"I want to know who the editor is, and I want to meet him!"
Xie Yu could only say: "Everyone will know when the film is released."
Then, the rebellious habits of Beiying students broke out and they insisted on dealing with Xie Yu.
On the contrary, many female classmates covered for Xie Yu, allowing Xie Yu to escape smoothly.
During this process, female classmates kept giving Xie Yu numbers and names.
No one who comes to Beijing Film Academy has dreams of becoming a star.
Girls usually mature earlier than boys.
This film was shot extremely well. With Xie Yu's age and vitality as a director, it was more important to say hello in advance...
And classmate Yang Mi’s performance was the most practical!
Xie Yu was invited to dinner that day, unlike other students who just made empty talk and morally kidnapped her.
This film..., with the help of Director Tian and Senior Ning, was scheduled to be released on July 1st, which is not a good date.
But Xie Yu is now the same as Senior Ning before him, the newcomer does not have much choice.
We can only shoot, edit, and special effects according to the plan, and the shooting cost is four million.
In fact, because of Xie Yu's methods, it was not even two million.
But no matter what, filming a movie is really expensive. For this cost, you can buy several houses in the county.
Released on July 1st, Xie Yu received her class diploma from a vocational college.
It has the title of producer Ning, and during the summer vacation, although the weather is a bit hot, there are also foreign blockbusters on the same schedule.
However, Xie Yu's film schedule was not high in the first place. It had a box office of 2 million at the premiere, but it increased on the third day. Perhaps because of disappointment with Senior Ning, it began to decrease again. It has increased and decreased since then.
This has somewhat confused the pirates. Is it piracy or not?
In this way, twelve days after its release, the pirates finally decided to steal it.
The strange thing is that despite the presence of pirates, the box office has only dropped to the 1.5 million level, not below 1 million.
This made the movie theaters a little confused and hesitant to release the movie early.
Therefore, this "new" work stayed in the theater for 24 days without being released in advance. Of course, there was no need to think about the extension key.
The final box office count was 32.4 million. Compared with the reported cost of 4 million and the 1 million paid out of his own pocket for promotion, it was a six-fold increase. Xie Yu undoubtedly made a profit.
Moreover, Xie Yu owns all the copyrights and gets 33% of the total box office revenue, which is 10 million.
Compared with the reported cost, the profit is doubled, and the actual cost is also four times the profit.
At this time when real estate finance is not yet involved, there is indeed an opportunity to make huge profits by investing in the film industry.
Of course the loss was more, otherwise why would the coal boss not invest later? It’s just survivor bias.
The total box office was confirmed, and even though the money from China Film Group had not yet arrived, Xie Yu paid out of his own pocket and gave red envelopes with double the salary to the original participants.
It can also be regarded as a small rule. If you lose, forget it. If you make something, you will feel happy. Of course, you don’t have to follow it. This is just a moral issue.
Naturally, after receiving more congratulations, there were also inquiries about Xie Yu's new film.
The reason given for the collaboration was that Director Ueda was a graduate student and had no plans to make any new films.
Looking at the newly changed level 1 director experience on the data panel, I decided to go to school first.
When he returned to school and met Director Tian, Director Tian also asked Xie Yu about his filming plans, but he agreed that Xie Yu was not in a hurry to film and planned to continue studying hard. Thinking of Xie Yu's performance on the set, he also agreed.
Speaking of which, who edited the film for Xie Yu? No more details!
September!
Because this year's College Student Film Festival was held in Shanghai, Xie Yu was nominated for Best Director, Fu Xiaolong was nominated for Best Actor, and Yang Mi was nominated for Best Actress.
Xie Yu, who had just attended classes for a few days, had to go to Shanghai again.
There is no way that Director Tian, who is now Teacher Xie Yu, applied for this college student film on Xie Yu’s behalf. Although there is little hope, I still want to go.
The teacher takes the initiative to ask for leave for the students. This feeling...
Industry specific….
07 At the opening ceremony of Shanghai College Student Film, Xie Yu brought Yang Mi to the red carpet. Xie Yu wanted to leave quickly, but Yang Mi was a drag.
No way, some people are born to enjoy the spotlight.
Then, he was overtaken by Fu Xiaolong and his wife Rao Min behind him.
It was obvious that Fu Xiaolong was decisive, but didn't he see his wife Rao Min's reluctance?
Finally, the "big-hearted" Yang Mi lingered on the red carpet for too long. After being reminded several times by the staff, she was finally willing to leave.
When they got to their seats, Yang Mi's reluctance could still be seen, so Xie Yu could only say: "As a newcomer, you are not afraid of offending others. Don't worry, there will be people on the red carpet for you to walk, I'm afraid you will be annoyed."
Yang Mi finally felt a little happy: "Thank you for your director Ji Yan, I'd like to make your next film..."
Xie Yu shook his head: "Making a movie is too troublesome. I have said it several times. I will study in school for some time in the future. I still need to learn more."
"If you are so busy on the red carpet, you will definitely be included in the headlines. Just wait for other directors to get in touch."
Yang Mi: "That's what I originally thought."
Xie Yu: "Speak nicely!"
Then he looked at Fu Xiaolong and Rao Min behind him, "Brother Fu, you have a lot of experience in participating in awards. Is there anything you need to pay attention to?"
Fu Xiaolong: "It's okay. If I gain my life, if I lose my life, keep a normal mind. Just keep a normal mind."
Rao Min rolled his eyes a little.
Xie Yu: "Sister Rao, thank you for your hard work. You brought Brother Fu here! It's really a waste of time. Let's keep our contact information later. How about I call you in the next film?"
"Brother Fu, don't you mind?"
Fu Xiaolong paused for a while: "My man is a good actor!"
These words made Rao Min angry and surprised. After marrying her favorite Fu Xiaolong, she also stopped making movies, especially movies. She didn't like the actor, before and after marriage...
Xie Yu saw that although Xiaolong was a good actor and easy-going to outsiders, he was a bit chauvinistic at heart.
But Xie Yu said so directly, and it was hard for him to refuse, and Rao Min indeed sacrificed a lot for him after getting married.
As soon as he turned around, Xie Yu felt Yang Mi pinch him, and then smiled playfully.
This means….
For a moment, it was difficult for Xie Yu to explain this situation.
The award ceremony begins.
It is said that Xie Yu's new work is very well completed and mature, and it doesn't look like a new work by a newcomer.
Then Xie Yu was awarded a consolation prize for Best New Director.
Xie Yu…….
