Huayu: Start by asking ex-girlfriends for alms

Chapter 14: Chang’s mother said it!

"As a student of Beijing Film Academy, I can only do the same work as chickens and ducks!"

"Why are you still making movies? Go home, fence off a piece of land, raise some more livestock, and have a good discussion with them about positioning!"

"Why are you still looking at me?"

"Do you want me to go find my fellow villagers to buy chickens and ducks now, and then help you fence in the ground?"

Looking at everyone rushing to join Deng Chao,
Zhen Jiecheng pulled at his collar, as if this would make him feel more relaxed.

Is getting angry just to establish authority? Not entirely!
The reason why Ning Hao was used as the "opening shot" at the beginning was indeed to give the crew a warning.
Otherwise, if we continue to indulge ourselves, not to mention whether we can cooperate with the filming of the movie, the unexplained bill expenses will directly break the original budget.

The incident of a straw hat costing 6,000 US dollars is not an isolated case! But Director Chen took the money from the investors, while "Life Events" was paid for by Zhen Jiecheng himself!
And next,

The constant NGs directly ignited Zhen Jiecheng's anger.

It's like a parent helping his child with math. He has recited the multiplication table several times, but when he is doing the problem, the number eighty-nine fifty-four will instantly pierce his head.

Deng Chao was fine, after all, his demands were high, which was within Zhen Jiecheng's expectations.

But others
Zhen Jiecheng now understood why directors did not like to use students from professional colleges to play small supporting roles or extras.
The main problem is that they think they are "professional" and always come up with their own ideas from time to time.

But they are cheap, and they are not here for the little reward, but there are a lot of relationships involved behind it.
So, I couldn't scold harshly, but I couldn't help scolding. It was like cutting off the shit halfway through and holding it back. It was torture!
Fortunately, Zhen Jiecheng does not have this worry.

I am also a college student! I haven't even graduated from college yet!

The accusation of bullying the weak has nothing to do with me at all!

So, why should I put myself in a difficult position to make you happy?
If emotions are not shown on the face, would they be hung on the wall?

Don’t even think about scolding me in person. If you can’t hear me clearly, I’ll carve your name on a tombstone later!

"ten minutes!"

"I'll give you another ten minutes to prepare!"

"Continue shooting in ten minutes!"

"Go, find the grain store and buy a few bags of rice!"

"What's the point of carrying an empty coffin?"

"Filmmaking is not just playing house. If you want to make something fake look real, you have to find ways to immerse yourself in it!"

"By the way, you all have no objection, right? If all the professionals from professional schools feel wronged, then I can give you some preferential treatment and make a paper one!"

Hearing this, the corners of everyone's mouth twitched.

But all the good and bad words he said made this guy in front of him feel sarcastic, and at this moment he couldn't find any reason to refute!

Just grit your teeth,
"No comment!"

"Well, that's good. You are indeed a professional from a professional school!"

Zhen Jiecheng nodded with satisfaction.
"Come on, let's rehearse twice with an empty coffin!"

How many times is two times?

Over and over again!
This time it was not Zhen Jiecheng who forced them, but Deng Chao, Ma Yuan and others who gritted their teeth and persevered!
The lines were already memorized, and I had an idea of ​​how to perform them.

But Deng Chao felt that this was not enough, so he asked Teacher You to help him watch and consult Teacher You's opinion every time he finished reading.
Then adjust your expression, movements, and tone, and try again!
Until the shooting starts!
Zhen Jiecheng finally softened his heart and only put two bags of rice, weighing only 40 kilograms, into the coffin.

It's Deng Dynasty again.

Silently he carried two bags,
He looked back at Ma Yuan and others, and after seeing that the brothers who were carrying the coffin all nodded in agreement, he threw the two bags of rice directly into the coffin.

"Eighty pounds!"

"According to the old man's weight, about 80 kilograms is realistic!"

Zhen Jiecheng did not respond to this, but just looked at Deng Chao deeply.
"Every unit prepares!"

"Action!"

Moving the machine forward!

Rather than zooming in!

As the minor parts continue to move out of the picture, "Mo Sanmei" gradually enlarges and fills the picture.
On the winding, old residential building exterior stairs,
"Mo Sanmei" carried the coffin, took the lead, and strained her strength.

Beads of sweat rolled down his face, and his veins bulged.
The weight on his shoulders tried to crush him, but he stubbornly held up his slightly bent spine.
The deep horn, as if squeezed out from the chest,
"The sun is setting!"

"Hey!"

"This is the old man's last day!"

"Hey!"

"Did everyone help?"

"Hey!"

The afterglow of the setting sun was mottled on everyone's faces.
In the interweaving of light and shadow, the cultural customs that have been passed down for thousands of years show their solemnity and dignity to everyone through the rough voice.
Then the crying sounds gradually faded away, and death was no longer heavy!

It is like a symbol that should be fixed there.

And now, it’s nothing more than completing a freeze-frame ritual!
Zhen Jiecheng sat in front of the monitor, motionless.

Deng Chao, Ma Yuan and others were still carrying the coffin, looking here, motionless.

Finally, Deng Chao couldn't help it and swallowed his saliva.
"Or, I'll try again."

"Pass!"

"what?"

Deng Chao's eyes widened.

Pass?
Not NG?

Not just one guarantee?
"Why are you still standing there like an idiot? Isn't a coffin filled with 80 kilograms of rice heavy? Why are you still carrying it?"

Zhen Jiecheng stood up, smiling.

"I said, this one is passed!"

"Ahhh!"

"Passed! Haha! Passed in one try! I passed in just one try!"

"Fuck! This thing is so damn heavy, it makes me so tired! No, I'll urge my dad to lose weight later!"

"If I were your father, I would strangle you to death right here and there!"

The sadness of middle-aged people always accumulates for too long and collapses in an instant. However, the joy of young people comes so easily, yet it is extremely satisfying.

Look at this group of people, they are actually looking at Zhen Jiecheng with gratitude.

Grateful for recognition? Grateful for not killing me?

unimportant!
Zhen Jiecheng grinned.
"Come on, come on, move all this rice out!"

"I'll use it to cook mung bean porridge and add rock sugar!"

"Everyone, cool down!"

After a brief period of clear weather, strong winds and heavy rain came again.

Filming is no different from life, NGs are always present throughout.

"Angry? Unhappy? Is that enough?"

"Mo Sanmei is Sun Wukong! She is the Sun Wukong who is trapped under the Five Finger Mountain!"

"The rogue-like image is just his disguise! It's his protective color! Do you understand?"

"Now the family suspects that you stole the old man's gold ring, but questioning your professional ethics is not the most important thing, because you don't like this job at all!"

"Touching your bottom line as a human being is the most important thing. The two cannot be confused. Do you understand?"

It was not good to yell in front of the monitor, so Zhen Jiecheng came running over, first skillfully asked Sister Na to lead the little Nezha out, and then he attacked wildly at close range.

"Take off!"

"Not only that, but you have to take it off for me!"

"Stick your dicks up for me! Signal her to take them out and check them one by one!"

"I can uproot them with just a hand, understand?" "What's the matter? Are you feeling guilty because you don't have enough capital? And you're embarrassed?"

"Then how about I go find some cotton and stuff it into your pants to help you fill it up?"

Zhen Jiecheng's ferocious speech made Deng Chao and Ma Yuan blush instantly.

Not only the two of them, but the women present couldn't help but spit, exclaiming that the thick eyebrows and big eyes could be such a contrast.

"Come again!"

"If you still can't meet my requirements!"

"I'll take this footage back, pick a shot with the best angle, and print it out as a photo!"

"When you get a girlfriend, I'll give her one. If you have the guts, sue me and your girlfriend in court!"

hiss!
Take a breath!
Deng Chao and Ma Yuan looked at each other and both shuddered.

Zhen Jiecheng is such a jerk. Not only is he foul-mouthed, he's also totally lacking in moral integrity!
What should we do now?
What can I do?
Grit your teeth and keep acting!

"Guarantee one!"

"continue!"

"This one passed!"

"All units, get ready. Next, Action!"

Zhen Jiecheng sat in front of the monitor and gave orders, while Ning Hao, who was operating the camera, cursed.

Prodigal!

What a waste!

In the past, Ning Hao heard that Jiang Wen was a big film burner, but he didn’t think it was a big deal. He thought that the great director was just being willful!

But now looking at Zhen Jiecheng,
Every time the film was burned, it was like cutting off a piece of Ning Hao's flesh.
After so many days of accumulation, I can no longer hold it in.
Finally, after the day's filming was completed and everything was packed up, Ning Hao pulled Zhen Jiecheng into the van and headed straight to the food stall.

"Brother Hao, what are you doing?"

"Shut up! I'll treat you!"

"Hey! Just a food stall?"

"I don't have any money!"

"You bought a gold chain when you have no money?"

"This is gold-plated and hollow!"

After drinking a glass of ice-cold beer, Ning Hao stopped acting.

To put it bluntly,
"After I finish filming Life Events for you, I plan to make a movie of my own."

"I've almost collected all the scripts. It's an art film, and it won't cost much!"

At this point, Ning Hao gritted his teeth.

"Especially compared to you!"

"Compared to you using film like toilet paper, I can keep the film as a treasure. I call you daddy every time I use it. Wasting it is like being unfilial!"

Hearing this, Zhen Jiecheng was immediately happy.

"So, why did you invite me to the food stall?"

"Didn't I tell you? I have no money!"

Ning Hao stiffened his neck and spoke confidently.
"If I want to make this movie, I'll probably have to empty my family's pockets. If something goes wrong, I'll have to find a way to get a loan!"

"So, I'm looking for some investment from you, a big shot!"

"How much?"

"Five no, one hundred thousand!" Ning Hao's eyes were red, "I'll pay another hundred thousand myself, it will definitely be enough!"

"When the film is sold, we'll split the profits in half. If you lose money, don't blame me!"

"no problem!"

Zhen Jiecheng nodded, looking at Ning Hao's confident look, and didn't intend to remind him.

After all, these days, if you want to make money from movies, it’s really art films that are leading the charge.

In the field of commercial films, few domestic directors, except Feng Kuazi, dare to guarantee that they will not lose money.

Why do so many directors dare to treat the provisions of optoelectronics as nonsense?
Make films, participate in foreign film festivals, win awards, sell films to film producers,
After going through a set of procedures, you will get honors, money, and fun!
Anyway, the investment cost is low, so if it doesn’t work the first time, you can try again!

In the future, many people will criticize these art film directors for relying on smearing their own country to please foreigners in order to win awards. This idea is unnecessary!

Because those foreign film festivals are like taxi drivers in Tianjin, they “rip off” customers with fairness, regardless of whether they are local or foreign.

Film is art, and art must be criticized. Even if you curse the jury members' motherland to bits, as long as your film is well made, they will probably take the lead in applauding and cheering for you.

"When we finish filming "Life Events" and return to Beijing, I'll send the money to your house!"

"If you're worried, give me your card number and I'll go to the bank and transfer the money to you later."

"No need! Let's talk about it after the filming is finished! Damn it, it's not my money, why should I worry about it!"

As he spoke, Ning Hao put down his wine glass, threw a cigarette over, and then lit one for himself.
"By the way, why don't you take a look at my script first?"

"I'll watch it after I pay for it. The script is there anyway, so why not watch it anytime?"

Zhen Jiecheng lit a cigarette, looked at Ning Hao, who was touched by his trust, and exhaled a puff of smoke comfortably.
"I'm not short of money anyway!"

"It's only a hundred thousand, small change!"

"Just think of it as my buddy inviting you to visit the world!"

As he spoke, he patted Ning Hao on the shoulder.

"Brother Hao, please don't feel pressured by this 100,000 yuan investment!"

"I"

Ning Hao opened his mouth, but in the end said nothing.
Tons, tons, tons, tons!
Shit! I'm going to get drunk to death today.

See where you can find a photographer tomorrow!

Jiangcheng Airport,

The oncoming heat wave did not make Cheng Hao feel uncomfortable, as his impatience had already overwhelmed his other senses.

She had just finished filming the role of A Zi in "Tian Long" and had no time to rest and relax. She got the location information from Deng Chao and rushed here.

Sunglasses, masks,
The release of "Sex and the City" gave Cheng Hao, who played the role of a popular girl, the star's standard outfit.

After getting in the taxi, I just told the address, without asking the fare, and sat in the back seat to calm my pounding heart.

What to say when meeting?
What should I say first?
Do you want me to wave first?

No, we are filming, can't disturb,
Yes! I'll book a hotel room first, put on some makeup, and then go there when the time is right.

Wait, what if we have to shoot a night scene today?
Or should I go there earlier and hide in a corner?

Cheng Hao thought about it, intertwining his fingers, but he couldn't come up with a perfect idea.

However, there is one thing she remembers very clearly:

Chang's mother said it!

Come early and leave early, don't procrastinate, or you will end up with nothing good and get yourself into trouble.

Chang's mother also said!
Once you get it, you will stick to it. You must be good at showing weakness, especially after the other party makes a mistake. Guilt is easier to hold on to than pain points.

Of course, it wasn't just Chang's mother who said this. Cheng Hao also had his own ideas.
It doesn’t matter if you take off your belt in the middle of the journey, the one who puts on his belt at the end is the winner.

Isn't it just showing weakness?

Although my sister is three years older, she is still weak and can be ridden!

　Please give me a vote, please give me investment, please!

　　Little Mengxin kowtows to all the reader fathers!
