Chapter five hundred and ninety-ninth I don't look good so I can't act
"Why did you come here directly!" Du Caige was a little surprised, but more joyful.
"Didn't you say you want to meet in town?"
When discussing before, Yan Yingzhen said that he would take Caiwei to see his shooting scene.
But because the shooting is in the wild, the transportation is inconvenient, and it is difficult to find a place.
And there are too many equipment and props on the filming site, some of which are dangerous.
Du Caige was worried that the lively Caiwei would be injured, so when it came to meeting in town, Yan Yingzhen also agreed.
Yan Yingzhen smiled and said, "It was Director Liu of your crew who contacted me through Sun Yaling and said that he wanted to give you a surprise. I thought to myself that this is not a big deal, so I will cooperate."
Du Caige looked at the carriage.
In the carriage, after some arrangements, in addition to the colorful lights, there are also several ribbons hanging with some small cards on them.
The pattern on the small card is different, and there seems to be handwriting.
Du Caige held Caiwei in his left hand, and raised his right hand to pick up one at will, with a clearly handwritten sentence on it: "Happy birthday to Director Du! Also, can you not be so fierce? You are so scary with a straight face."
The signed name is a young girl in the props group.
"These are all handwritten by the crew?"
"Probably! Before you came, I picked a few to read. Everyone should have written a sentence for you."
"They have a heart." Du Caige sighed.
In the carriage, they ate the bread and juice that Yan Yingzhen had brought, the beef in sauce and tiger skin chicken feet that she made by herself, and listened to Caiwei's vividly interesting stories about her school.
Seeing her daughter's healing smile, Du Caige's anxiety was eased, and her mind gradually calmed down.
You know, the crew has had problems one after another recently, and he is the one who is under the most pressure.
However, others can express their emotions, but he cannot.
He must always act confident and in control.
shit.
He was really panicked.
What if I can't find the right actor?
What if you can't find the feeling when you shoot yourself?
What if the audience does not accept the filmed story?
There are 100,000 things in his mind, but he still can't ask anyone.
No one could answer him.
After lunch, they cut and packed the cake. They took Caiwei to the shooting site and distributed the cake to each staff member.
Caiwei has become a curious baby, full of interest in every machine, and every detail has to be thoroughly investigated.
Du Caige had to turn into a mobile encyclopedia, trying her best to answer her every question.
"Baba, what is this?"
"This is the track."
"What about here?"
"It's a plank."
"I know it's a plank, but why put a plank here?"
"Emmm, for example, sometimes we want to shoot an uncle walking forward, and the camera has to be facing him all the time to shoot his expression. At this time, the uncle who is carrying the camera will stand on this wooden board and be dragged by others. Step back so you can keep the camera steady."
"Oh!" Little Master Caiwei nodded, not knowing if she really understood.
Du Caige tried his best to answer seriously, but some questions were really too tricky to answer.
for example……
"Baba, why don't you play?"
"Dad is the director. Dad doesn't act, he only directs them to film."
"Oh, is it because Baba doesn't look good, so I can't act?"
"..."
Everyone around was laughing crazy.
Although Caiwei stayed for a short time, she left with Yan Yingzhen before nightfall.
But in this short period of time, Du Caige was fully treated.
His blood tank, which was almost empty, returned to full value again.
The next morning, Du Caige was full of energy.
First, I inspected Li Minjun's fighting scenes, and unexpectedly found that Li Minjun is quite talented in this regard.
Although it is just a flower boxing and embroidering the legs, it is much better than Liu Yuyan and Du Yanqi.
He has only studied for a day!
Sure enough, some geniuses are destined to make others half-dead.
The movement instructor Zhao Zhekun said to Du Caige in private, "This girl must have had dance skills before, and she should have practiced taekwondo and knew how to make good moves. And she is very perceptive, and she will remember everything she teaches. Imitate it two or three times and you can make it decently.”
Du Caige nodded and corrected his small mistake: "Li Minjun is a man."
Zhao Zhekun glanced at Du Caige in surprise, with an expression of "For the sake of being the director, I don't care about you." "Okay, you say yes."
"I didn't say yes, he was what he was, didn't you see him when he came to the crew the day before yesterday?"
"Okay, okay, it's a man. Don't talk about this, let me tell you, Li Minjun's body flexibility and flexibility are much stronger than Xin Wan, you hand her over to me, I will train her for three weeks, and make sure she can play the best Nice effect."
Du Caige calculated, the time should be too late. "Let me talk to him. He didn't even sign the contract. Originally, he just asked him to play tricks. I didn't expect to find a treasure."
When talking with Li Minjun about the contract, he said: "No contract, it doesn't matter, you can give it to me, just give me a red envelope."
"That's not good. This film is very formal, and the financial aspects must be transparent and auditable. As one of the main actors, you naturally have to pay you and pay taxes for you."
"I'm just a friendship show, just give me a dollar."
"You have to sign a contract for a dollar! And we are friends, how can I cheat on you. You must not be paid too little for such an important role. It doesn't matter if you can't negotiate, you don't have an agent, right? I will let the company Send you a lawyer to review the contract for you. Don't worry, it will be soon."
"I really don't need to..." Li Minjun said distressedly, "I'm afraid of trouble, and now I'm not short of money."
He said that he was not short of money, and Du Caige believed it.
But no matter how they are not short of money, it is not enough to push out the salary of hundreds of thousands.
Yes, Du Caige will not offer a high salary to Li Minjun, at most hundreds of thousands, never more than one million. :(/
It's not that I look down on Li Minjun's ability, nor is he reluctant.
It's just that Li Minjun is still a newcomer after all, so there is no reason to give him too high a salary.
Then for the rest of the day, Du Caige took the crew and finished filming all the scenes in this location.
The crew took a day off before heading to the next location.
And Du Caige is going to take Tian Ying to the awarding party of the Hotan Awards. When he returns to the crew, Liu Pengfei should also go out and return to the crew. At that time, it is time to see the results of Liu Pengfei's retreat.
As a result, at the Hotan Awards Gala, Tian Ying unfortunately missed out on the Best Cinematography, and Du Caige was shortlisted for the Best Newcomer Director, but failed to win in the end.
"Old Boy" was shortlisted for "Best New Director, Best Editing, Best Music, Best Screenplay, Best Makeup, Best Small and Medium Budget Feature Film" and other awards.
Finally won the "Best Editing" and "Best Music".
Among them, "Best Music" is widely expected, and "Best Editing" should be compensation for Du Caige for missing the Best Newcomer Director and Best Editing.
The film also won a "Best Small and Medium Budget Feature Film". The gold content of this award is not enough, but in the case of not winning the "Best Feature Film", this award can be regarded as a consolation.
The most funny thing for Du Caige is that he personally won a "Best Newcomer Award".
In fact, he often forgets that he is the hero of "Old Boys"...
As a director, it is a little tricky to win an actor award before winning the director award.
Du Caige was not discouraged either.
Best Newcomer Director, he doesn't really care about this award, it doesn't matter whether he wins or not.
Moreover, "martial arts" is the time when he really exerts his strength.
Wait until next year's awards season and see what "Wulin" can achieve.
During the entire awards show, Du Caige kept a low profile.
But reporters didn't let him go.
He's been out of the limelight for so long that he's been in hiding to make movies, and reporters desperately need to get something out of him.
It can also be seen from this that Du Caige, as a behind-the-scenes creator, actually has a popularity that is not commensurate with his identity.
Ordinary behind-the-scenes creators, journalists won't be chasing after them.
"What impact does Xin Wan's incident have on the crew?"
"How's the shooting going?"
"It is said that the crew's funds are stretched, is that true?"
"Can your movie be released in time for the summer?"
"Director Shu's body miraculously recovered in a short period of time. He hurriedly started filming the new film 'Lord Admiral', which invested 400 million yuan from Tianyi Entertainment. According to him, this new film will also be released in the summer. Hemingway , do you think this is a challenge to you?"
Du Caige laughed at the previous question and dealt with it casually.
But facing this problem with Shu Yihuan, Du Caige is still more cautious.
"I don't think it's a provocation. It's normal that every director wants to fight during the summer vacation. I wish Director Shu a good movie and get a box office that suits his identity. Of course, I will also work hard. I will gain something in the summer vacation next year.”
