Chapter 75 The movie starts! Tyrant on set! [Recommended votes added]
"let's start."
In the conference room, the creative team had already arrived. Zhou Yutang knocked on the table and spoke first.
The heroine is Liu Shishi, and Zhao Liying is sitting next to Shi Shi. She plays the second female lead, the heroine's classmate and best friend.
Zhu Yilong plays Cao Guosheng, Zhang Ruojun plays Xu Bochun, and Lei Datou, who has a sense of joy, plays Liao Yinghong. He was selected through an audition based on his strength.
The male lead also has a fat best friend, Xie Minghe, but he couldn't find a suitable candidate in the audition. In the end, he found Hao Shaowen through connections in the Tang Dynasty. Such a special actor who has a non-aggressive appearance and is easy to make people feel friendly at first glance is really unbelievable. It's easy to find. Hao Shaowen made his debut as a child actor. He performed very well in "Oolong Yard" that year and his acting skills were no problem.
None of these actors are big names.
Except for Zhou Yutang, who is the biggest celebrity, with a salary of 800,000 yuan, the heroine Liu Shishi only received a salary of 250,000 yuan. The rest, Zhao Liying, Lei Jiayin and others are not well-known, not to mention Zhang Ruojun and Zhu Yilong, all of them are added Not even one hundred thousand together.
The total investment in the entire film was 10 million.
Actors' remuneration has been reduced to a minimum, and the remaining money is spent where it should be spent.
Zhou Yutang stood up first and talked about the theme of the script for a while.
The story is simple.
It tells the story of the high school life of the male protagonist Zhou Ziyu and his gay friends. They all like the beautiful and well-behaved girl in the class at the same time.
They are ordinary high school students, they are ignorant and ignorant, but they are full of yearning for love.
I hope to be with the person I like, but I tried every means I thought were effective to express my love, and in the end no one really pursued that girl.
The whole story does not have the classic trio of car accidents, amnesia, and cancer that have become popular in romance dramas in recent years.
It is just a simple and beautiful story, telling about the lost but slightly regretful youth, and the main theme is a truth.
"If you have anything you want to say, you can speak freely."
Zhou Yutang stood up to set the tone for the entire film. After sitting down, he felt that everyone was still a little bit hesitant to let go, so he directly clicked Zhang Ruojun's name.
The guy scratched his head and instantly showed a husky smile: "Well, director, the script is very good, but there is one point. Why is it not a happy ending in the end?"
"Have you caught the goddess of your youth?"
Zhou Yutang asked with a smile.
Zhang Ruojun was stunned for a moment and shook his head.
Everyone here was thoughtful.
They understood what Zhou Yutang wanted to express.
Youth is like a beautiful but regretful poem.
This sentence written at the beginning of the script is the answer.
With him as the starting point, all the actors present chatted one by one about their understanding of the script and the characters, and then followed Zhou Yutang's ideas to deepen the emotions of the characters they assumed.
Everyone did it according to their own script book.
Zhou Yutang is also observing.
Generally speaking, the others performed quite well, but Lei Jiayin made Zhou Yutang look at her a few more times.
The professionalism he displayed was clearly a level higher than others.
This big guy was admitted to the Magic City Drama Center last year with first place results.
There is indeed something.
The script study meeting ended, and the production of "Those Years" officially started the next day.
Zhou Yutang didn't do any gimmicks like press conferences. He just returned from activities in South Korea and his popularity has skyrocketed. There is already a lot of news about the movie he directed and starred in that is about to start filming.
When the exposure is sufficient, there is no need to over-market in the early stage. Publicity in the later stage is the key.
but.
Despite this, many media reporters spontaneously came to the shooting scene.
Zhou Yutang arranged for Li Shuang to deal with it, and then turned around and started the official shooting.
A school in Beijing.
shooting scene.
Problems arose before filming even started.
Zhou Yutang directed the field staff to move the tables and chairs in the classroom: "Move this desk out and go to the warehouse to find it again. I want it to look older, and the chairs too..."
"Director Zhou, is this necessary? My brothers have already moved three times. Is it almost OK?"
A fat man named Zhang Hai was complaining next to him.
He has a shiny slicked-back hair, a lot of flesh on his face, and a belly as round as a ball. His shirt is tucked into his trousers with difficulty, and he holds a crocodile leather bag in his hand. He looks a bit like a popular and successful person nowadays.
This is the artistic direction of the crew.
"Didn't you hear what I said clearly?"
Zhou Yutang looked at him coldly.
Zhang Hai's eyes were rolling around, and he was also looking at Zhou Yutang's expression.
The two men seemed to be engaged in a silent confrontation.
"Do as I say."
Zhou Yutang held the walkie-talkie and said to Zhang Hai calmly: "Do you need me to repeat the requirements again? Older desks and chairs are required to have a sense of age."
"Okay, Director Zhou, I'll make arrangements."
Zhang Hai originally opened his mouth and wanted to say more, but when he saw Zhou Yutang's expression, he felt a cold feeling in his heart for no reason. After all, he did not choose to be tough and went to work in despair.
"The lighting arrangement was arranged by him. I heard he was the brother-in-law of a senior manager over there, a bastard."
Senior Brother Lin Liang whispered beside Zhou Yutang.
"Ignore him and get on with your business."
Zhou Yutang glanced at it and saw a petite figure busy diligently in front of the blackboard. He was a little surprised and said: "Zhao Liying, what are you doing?"
"Director Zhou."
Zhao Liying held a blackboard newspaper material book in her hand, with a smile on her face: "I don't have a role today, and I have nothing to do, so I will write the blackboard newspaper according to your request. In the past, the teachers in school asked me to write blackboard newspapers."
The story background of the first half of "Those Years" mainly takes place in high school, there are not many outdoor scenes, and it is basically completed in the classroom, so the choice of this shooting location is very important.
The background setting is a high school in the late 1990s. It is impossible to create a brand-new classroom that is too modern. This shooting location was also carefully selected by Zhou Yutang.
In classrooms.
On the right side of the blackboard are always written the class schedule for tomorrow and the struggle slogan: The rudder of destiny is struggle. Don’t have any illusions, don’t give up any opportunity, and don’t stop working hard every day!
At this time, there are still XXX days before the college entrance examination.
This shocking XXX is counting down every day.
The same goes for the blackboard newspaper that Zhao Liying is busy with behind the scenes.
It's full of details.
"Um."
Zhou Yutang glanced at her one more time.
Don't mention it, Miss Zhao's handwriting is really good.
However, he didn't pay attention and turned around to discuss the shooting plan with Lin Yufen and Wen Muye.
……………………
There was a slight situation on the first day. After setting up the scene, there were no shooting tasks.
Liu Shishi and Zhao Liying finished work early and returned to the hotel.
The two girls lived in the same room. After washing, they sat together and chatted.
Zhao Liying hugged her legs and said with lingering fear: "Hey, when we first met, I felt that Director Zhou was very kind. I didn't expect that his temper would be so terrible."
"What did you call him?"
"Director Zhou."
Zhao Liying was slightly startled and blurted out.
"Yeah, it's okay. This is a good title."
Liu Shishi applied some skin care lotion essence on the back of her delicate white hands, and the corners of her mouth curved softly.
Little girl Zhao on the side was still talking about Zhou Yutang losing his temper today.
She was right there and it felt intuitive.
That kind of anger is not the kind of anger that erupts like a volcano.
Even Zhou Yutang's speaking voice was low and calm, revealing elegance and gentleness.
However, paired with his calm and indifferent expression and eyes, it can make people feel hairy in their hearts and make them feel like they have a ray of light on their backs. The art director Zhang Hai immediately gave up.
"Zhou Yutang did it on purpose."
Liu Shishi applied skin care products on his face and took the time to say something.
The sun in August and September is really poisonous, especially since her skin is tender and sensitive. She will get sunburned if she is not careful. The first thing she does when she comes back from work is skin care.
Sometimes she envied Zhou Yutang. She didn't see how he took care of his skin, but his skin was very good.
"Shi Shi, you mean..."
Miss Zhao was also a thoughtful girl. She was stunned for a moment, and then she quickly came to her senses.
"You mean, Director Zhou acted like this on purpose, right? I think there's something wrong with this art director. He has several people under his command who are more powerful than the director. Let me tell you, he even came to me and hinted I, want me to please him..."
"Xiaoying, what's going on?"
Liu Shishi's delicate little face became serious, put down what she was doing, and sat next to Zhao Liying.
"Shi Shi, don't be nervous."
Miss Zhao was a little touched, and said with a smile: "I have been in several film crews, and I still have experience. I saw something was wrong with others, so of course I didn't agree, so I said I would help. Director Zhou asked me to help, and then ran to the classroom to help. ”
"If you encounter something like this in the future, don't ignore him. Tell Zhou Yutang and he will definitely handle it."
Liu Shishi breathed a sigh of relief. After thinking about it, he still felt uneasy. He picked up his phone and sent Zhou Yutang a message.
"Yeah! I think he must have wanted to fool people when he saw that our Director Zhou was young and was not serious about his work. I didn't expect that Director Zhou wouldn't tolerate him at all. But when Boss Zhou gets angry, his aura is really strong. , super handsome!"
After Balabala said a lot, Zhao Liying crossed her legs and asked excitedly: "Shi Shi, you are so awesome. How did you know that Director Zhou lost his temper on purpose?"
"Forehead."
Liu Shishi put down the phone and continued to pat his little face: "Because he and I have just worked together on the Fairy Sword crew. Zhou Yutang is usually very talkative. He is calm and doesn't get angry easily."
"Even if he loses his temper, he has a purpose. I have observed it secretly. After he lost his temper today, the entire crew has become much calmer and more focused on their work."
"It seems to be true! This is to establish prestige, but if it were me, I would also be angry. How much money did Director Zhou invest to put together the crew? Someone was causing trouble down there just after the filming started. This unhealthy trend must be suppressed, otherwise How can the crew continue filming?!"
Little Miss Zhao stretched out her white little hand and gestured like she was swinging down a knife. Her cute little bun face deliberately made a ferocious and serious expression, which looked really cute.
Liu Shishi was struck by the cuteness and said with a smile: "Xiaoying, you are quite impressive. Work hard to become a big star in the future. You can also train others."
Miss Zhao scratched her head and said with a smile: "Well, Shi Shi, you are better. Director Zhou is so talented. He wrote the script for this movie. He is also the leading actor. If you play the female lead, you will definitely be popular. .”
"Let's work hard together!"
Liu Shishi looked in the mirror, and a gentle smile appeared on his little face that had been quiet for a long time.
…
the next day.
When Liu Shishi and Zhao Liying came to the set, they were shocked to find out.
The artistic director Zhang Hai and several of his staff disappeared from the crew of "Those Years".
"Did you know? Director Zhou kicked the art director Zhang Hai."
"I heard that I had a few arguments with Director Zhou yesterday."
"Director Zhou is really awesome. The people sent by Guangguang do what they say. They are simply tyrants!"
"Khan! Brother, lower your voice, don't you know that Director Zhou is an investor?"
"Oh, that's okay."
……………………
The people below were discussing excitedly early in the morning.
Several members of the crew lost their entertainment overnight, which was somewhat of a big news.
However, they also experienced Zhou Yutang's temper. They really couldn't tolerate sand in their eyes, and they couldn't help but feel a little more respectful in their hearts.
In fact, Zhou Yutang just spoke, and Li Xiaoping moved her hands directly.
Li Xiaoping is ruthless in what she does.
Yesterday, she was out of town and couldn't make it to the scene. She received the news from Zhou Yutang in the evening and came to the set first thing in the morning.
Just kick people.
Then have a meeting.
The purpose of the meeting was clear.
This is Zhou Yutang's crew, and he is the biggest power center on this set.
Zhou Yutang has the final say in everything.
Li Xiaoping is the producer and the big housekeeper of this crew. If she doesn't want to stay, she will ask them to leave. Those who are left behind must cooperate with Zhou Yutang.
Anyone who dares to fool around will end up like that art director, even if he has a background, it won’t be easy for him!
Killing chickens to scare monkeys is still useful.
Zhou Yutang clearly felt that the cohesion of the entire crew has improved, and the most direct effect is the improvement of the shooting progress.
Officially started filming.
It’s better to start with the easier scenes first, and then move on to the more difficult scenes.
The plot of the first scene is very simple.
In a Chinese class.
Zhou Yutang, Zhang Ruojun, and Zhu Yilong were playing poker during class. However, they were discovered by the Chinese teacher and reported to the class teacher played by Zhang Songwen. They were called outside the classroom and severely criticized. Finally, Liu Jiayi, a top student, was allowed to sit in Zhou Yutang's class room. The back seat facilitates the development of the entire story.
Zhang Songwen stood on the podium and gave a lecture: "Everyone will follow the rhythm of high school classes later."
"OK!"
The students in the classroom replied readily.
Zhou Yutang’s classmates are basically film school students who came to make guest appearances.
Chen Weidong, Peng Guanying, and Gao Ye, who were in the same class as Zhou Yutang, were all there. Several senior students from the previous Da Mi Mi dormitory, as well as Zhang Meng, Jiao Junyan, and others also came to guest appearance.
They are all acting majors, so they still have some professional qualities.
"Yu Tang, Ruojun, you have to remember that this section needs to be a little exaggerated, especially Yu Tang. You were cynical at first."
Teacher Zhang Songwen taught the drama very carefully and carefully.
He is also a performance coach. In order to grasp the details of the play, he went to a high school in advance to observe the students in class for two months!
"How about this?"
Zhou Yutang adjusted slightly, and his original calm and steady temperament was gone, and a look of high-spirited youth appeared on his face.
At first glance, he looks like the kind of student who is naughty and careless and only wants to have fun but not learn well.
"Very good, this is the feeling you want!"
Zhang Songwen was very satisfied.
Lin Yufen and Wen Muye, as well as the director of photography and other crew members, were also amazed by Zhou Yutang's talent.
Zhao Liying couldn't help but stretched out her little hand and rubbed her eyes.
She really felt the magic of acting.
Zhou Yutang, who originally had a calm demeanor, instantly turned into an out of character high school student.
After telling this scene, Lin Yufen and Wen Wu were behind the surveillance mirror, communicating with each team to prepare for the test shoot:
"How are the lighting team, sound recording team, and photography team preparing?"
"Ready, director."
"OK, ready to start."
"Scene, quiet, 3, 2, 1, the first shot of the second scene of the movie "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years", the first time, start!"
The recorder snapped, and camera No. 3 focused on the classroom.
Xie Nan, the female host of Guangguang, guest-starred as a Chinese teacher and walked onto the podium holding teaching materials.
"Hello teacher!"
"Hello classmates, today we are talking about..."
The camera switches and the camera pans, presenting a very real Chinese lesson.
The fan rotates leisurely.
Some people were spinning their pens, some were looking at the blackboard, some were reading textbooks, some were taking notes carefully, and some were looking out the window, feeling gradually empty.
At this time, the camera of camera No. 1 was switched, and Zhou Yutang, Zhang Ruojun, and Zhu Yilong, who were sitting at the back, appeared on the screen.
Zhou Yutang smiled wildly and openly on his sunny and handsome face. He winked with his best friends, made eye contact with them, and then played poker under the desk.
A typical bad student who doesn't want to make progress and is found in every class.
It was as if the Chinese teacher on the podium did not exist, and a few people were sitting in the back row playing poker unscrupulously.
Sudden.
Zhang Ruojun touched a good hand, slapped his thigh happily, and couldn't help but growl: "Yes!"
"Xu Bochun, stand up and read the next paragraph."
The short-haired Xie Nan still had a dignified expression on his face. He put down the textbook in his hand and couldn't bear it anymore.
Zhang Ruojun hurriedly stuffed the cards into the desk, lowering his head and not daring to answer.
He wears a rustic wig on his head and a pair of thick glasses, giving him the image of a stuffy nerd.
Zhou Yutang, who was sitting next to him, lowered his head and snickered when he saw his best friend was in trouble.
"Zhou Ziyu, what are you laughing at?"
Xie Nan knocked on the podium table and said majestically: "You come and read the paragraph I just read."
"The falling clouds and the solitary owl fly together, and the autumn water becomes the same color as the sky."
Zhou Yutang stood up reluctantly, muttering, but the playing cards caught in the textbook accidentally flew out.
The whole class was in an uproar.
"Click!"
Lin Yufen shouted stop.
Zhou Yutang went behind the monitor and took a look. After communicating with Lin Yufen and Wen Muye, he roughly knew where the problem was.
"Everyone take a rest, Ruojun, come here."
"."
Zhang Ruojun walked over with a rustic pot head, scratched his head, and was a little embarrassed: "I didn't perform well just now."
"It's not a big problem. Don't be too nervous. Relax. Think about how you were rebellious in high school. You can exaggerate your expressions a little. Let's do it again."
Zhou Yutang chuckled.
In fact, the shot I just took was above the passing mark.
But he is demanding it according to the standards of a fine movie, so many details must be as perfect as possible!
