Huayu Entertainment: You have been directing for three generations, are you comparing your qualifica

Chapter 3 Movie Starts

Tian Xiaole has been staying in the dormitory recently, drawing the storyboard manuscript for the movie.

The outside world has been discussing it like crazy. Not only are students from Beijing Film Academy discussing it, but also students from the Central Academy of Drama next door are asking about it.

It is rumored that students from the directing department are preparing to make a low-budget movie and have received investment from China Film Group.

For a while, students from the two film and television schools were all paying attention to the audition news.

I am ready to show off my best skills in the hope of getting a chance to perform.

You know, there are very few directors who can get investment in this era, let alone a student.

Many female classmates with ulterior motives began to frequently create various encounters, and to show their courtesy and flattery.

As long as you can appear on screen, it is a resume regardless of the box office performance of the movie.

Of course, there are also those who sneer at it. For example, a student who has studied photography for two years and then switched to directing is not believed to be able to shoot anything good, and people will privately mock it.

Tian Xiaole was still a little uncomfortable with the sudden enthusiasm of his senior and junior colleagues. This was his first movie, and he didn't want to be lulled by sugar-coated words.

I can only hide in the dormitory and finish the storyboard manuscript first, about the flirtatious glances from my senior and junior sisters. Once I have some results, I will ask for their advice.

"Brother, Professor Tian asked you to go to his office."

A boy with thick eyebrows and big eyes knocked on the door and said.

"Thanks."

Tian Xiaole looked up and saw that the man looked familiar, but he couldn't remember his name for a moment, so he stood up and patted him on the shoulder.

"Brother, can I have a chance to appear in your movie?"

Luo Jin asked nervously. Looking at the recent celebrities in the school, he wanted to seize this opportunity.

He even went so far as to... worship Huang Xiaoming as his godfather and learn from him.

"May I have your name."

Tian Xiaole stopped and looked at him and asked.

"My name is Luo Jin, freshman of the class of 02."

"Okay, I'll remember you."

···
The student dormitory building is only about ten minutes away from the teacher's office. I was pointed at and talked about by students I met along the way, but not many had the courage to come up and talk to me.

There were only two girls holding hands, who stuffed two notes into my hand and ran away with red faces.

Tian Xiaole thought the man looked familiar and might be useful in the future, so he kept him.

After a while, I arrived at the teachers' office building, knocked on the door and walked in.

"Teacher Tian, ​​is there good news?"

When Tian Zhuangzhuang heard this address, he looked up, took off his reading glasses, and said with a little dissatisfaction:
"Calling me daddy, is that wronging you?"

"Comrade Lao Tian, ​​didn't I tell you that we should call each other by our positions in school?"

We must avoid suspicion at school. China Film Group has just agreed to invest, and there are rumors outside.

If their relationship is really exposed, he will become Tang Shengrou.

How could I resist the temptation of a group of young, beautiful and pretty sisters?

There is no fool among the students who can get into film school. In addition to coming from a wealthy family, they also know what they want and what those people are worth.

Young people like Tian Xiaole, who have a strong background and are capable, will become their first choice.

Tian Zhuangzhuang felt that this made some sense, so he stopped dwelling on the topic and said:
"The script has been reviewed and the investment is three million."

"Oh, so fast!"

Tian Xiaole suddenly became excited. He didn't expect the efficiency to be so high.

He forgot that it was 02 and the Film Bureau only received a few scripts for review each year. After all, only a few big directors could get investment to make movies.

"You are the director and screenwriter, and I will pay you 200,000 yuan."

"So much? The filming cost only three million, and you're paying me that much?"

Tian Xiaole was surprised. Could a newcomer like him be worth this price?

After careful consideration, I figured it out. I guess they thought that since it was the first time Tian Zhuangzhuang had spoken in ten years and it was directed by Tian Xiaole, they thought it was just a hobby work, so they gave him a high director's fee.

"Can I take this 200,000 yuan and exchange it for a portion of my investment share?"

Tian Xiaole asked tentatively, although China Film Group was very generous, he didn't want the movie to be shoddy.

"You'll have to ask the producer sent by China Film Group."

···
The signing of the contract with China Film Group went smoothly. The other party paid the money very quickly and also agreed to exchange the film salary for investment.

When they heard about such a good thing, it showed that they had confidence in the film, so of course they agreed readily.

Tian Xiaole found an agent and spent two days registering a company called Jia Xiaole Film and participated in the investment under the name of the company.

The investment funds have been deposited into a dedicated account, and now it’s time to choose the lead actor for Twilight.

The actor who plays He Sanshui is the core of the whole play, and the plot depends entirely on him.

"Looks like Xu Zheng is the only one left. He's the only one who can give that feeling."

Call the producer sent by China Film Group and let him take care of inviting the actors.

Xu Zheng is considered the biggest star in the entire drama.

He became famous all over the country with "The Legend of the White Snake", and everyone who saw him had to call him Zhu Bajie. He is now facing the trouble of transformation, and I believe he will make the right choice.

As for the selection of the heroine, with the help of the school, a conference room was vacated and temporarily used as an audition room.

I tried it with many students, and countless of them slipped notes into my pocket.

There are also a few who are more ambitious and think that they can stand out by relying on their acting skills alone.

Tian Xiaole, who slipped the note into the man's pocket, thought about it carefully and realized that actors like him who have no bottom line will generally have a good future.

There are Huang Shengyi and Wang Luodan from Class 01, and Dong Xuan from Class 00...

Many people from Class 02 also showed up, including Jiang Yiyan, Zhou Yang...

Many people from the neighboring colleges came to audition, and some of them became famous, such as Tang Yan, Bai Baihe, and Tang Wei...

As for those who are more arrogant, they just dealt with it casually for the sake of the school.

After graduation, you will naturally be hit by reality.

The final outcome for such people is that they either have to lower their bottom line and adapt to the environment, or they have to change their careers.

In the end, the role of Tang Xiaolian was played by Huang Shengyi from Class 01. Now she looks pure and tender, and still looks like a little lamb.

Most importantly, the casting for "Kung Fu" is about to begin, and she will be the most famous among the group. Of course, she is also one of the people who slipped the note, otherwise she would not have gotten the role.

Tian Xiaole plans to play the role of Li Junwei himself to save some money for the film.

If you want to play a supporting role in a movie, just look for Luo Jin. It's his luck.

The role of the proprietress was played by Yan Ni.

Before filming of "Wulin Wai Zhuan" started, she was still a little-known actress and had just divorced. The mature charm she exuded was more suitable for the role of the boss.

The robber who steals the jewelry is played by Chen Minghao. He is a big and strong man, and he has the ruthless character when he is cruel.

The role of the tire was played by Huang Bo from the vocational college class.

He went to the audition with the mentality of giving it a try, but he didn't expect to be selected. His appearance was average to begin with, and he was not an acting major.

For this, he thanked Tian Xiaole very much, and was almost crying.

The role of the policeman was also played by Fan Ming, who later filmed "Wulin Waijia". He spoke the local dialect, which was just right for him no matter how you looked at it.

Of course, the photographer asked his roommate Park Jong-hwa to take charge. With a graduate student from the photography department present, there would be no problem controlling the picture and he didn't have to worry about it himself.

Lao Tian arranged for several senior brothers from the directing department to come and help, and they were the kind who could do practical work and had very good abilities.

The supermarket needed for the movie was left to them to scout the location.

All the miscellaneous positions such as lighting and stage management are done by recruiting people from schools.

This is the feeling of leaning against a big tree to enjoy the shade, and it would be even better if it is a big and sturdy tree.

I borrowed equipment and machines directly from the school.

The crew employed so many students from Beijing Film Academy, so we should support them with practical actions.

The general crew was formed in this way.

For some unimportant roles, I found familiar-looking cameos in the school.

It only took two days for the senior brother who was in charge of location scouting to find the supermarket as the filming location.

The gas station outside the third ring road of the capital is still deserted, and it has also agreed to carry out minor modifications to the supermarket.

At the end of October, all crew members gathered and held a simple opening ceremony.

Tian Xiaole stood in the middle, with the male lead Xu Zheng and the female lead Huang Shengyi on his left and right, and Luo Jin, Yan Ni, Chen Minghao, Huang Bo, Fan Ming, Park Jong-hwa and others standing behind him.

"[Crazy Supermarket] is officially launched, come on everyone!"

Tian Xiaole pulled off the red cloth covering the camera and shouted with his hands raised high.

He changed the name of "Nightclub" to "Crazy Supermarket", a good movie name that not only attracts the audience's interest, but also arouses the curiosity of passers-by.

The entire crew is led by school students, and the atmosphere is extremely harmonious.

Amidst shouts of "Come on", the movie started.

···
【Crazy Supermarket】started filming.

Huang Shengyi wore work clothes and an apron, tied her hair into a high ponytail, and put on light makeup, giving people a fresh and refined feeling.

This makeup look was finalized after Tian Xiaole's description and several versions of drawings by a senior sister at school.

The whole image is that of the mute girl in "Kung Fu". Stephen Chow's movie was still in the preparation stage, but he had already reserved this image.

Huang Shengyi was smiling happily. She didn't expect that she had a pure side. She always thought she was a wild type.

In the camera lens, she was bending over and arranging the shelves, and the apron she was wearing had also been modified.

It can show off her figure to the greatest extent.

At the corner of the supermarket shelf, a mobile phone was stretched out and taking a secret photo. A photo of the back of a round butt was secretly taken by Tian Xiaole.

He had a silly smile on his face and put his phone away with satisfaction.

"The light over there is broken. I'm going to change a bulb."

Huang Shengyi was very nervous as this was her first time filming a movie and she ended up saying her first line wrong.

She stood there at a loss, like a child who had done something wrong.

When I was chosen to play the leading female role, I was happy for a long time.

I dreamed of becoming an overnight sensation, but I didn't expect to feel a little flustered when filming just started.

"Director, I'm sorry, I'm a little nervous."

"Let's adjust it. Let's do another one."

Tian Xiaole spoke to comfort her without being too demanding.

At the beginning, they were still in the adjustment stage. If he couldn't remember the lines later, he would not be so easy to talk to.

As the two scenes were filmed, Huang Shengyi gradually found his form and used what he had learned in school.

Her rivalry with Tian Xiaole can also be considered acceptable.

Xu Zheng's appearance is inherently funny. As an actor who is already very popular in the television field, it is inevitable that there will be many NGs when Huang Shengyi plays opposite him.

Tian Xiaole always points out problems carefully and patiently teaches students how to stand and express themselves.

This was his first drama, and the actors were required to be at their best.

When I become successful in the future, I will look back and find that every movie I made was a classic and a good story.

"Just treat it like you're dealing with an unreasonable customer and be more relaxed in your demeanor and tone."

"I understand, director."

Although Huang Shengyi hasn't made much progress, thanks to her makeup and image, she is at least still a good-looking vase.

The filming progress is also going smoothly.

In the scene where Tian Xiaole and Huang Shengyi were tied up in a KTV, there was a part where they had to struggle to break free from the ropes. Their bodies inevitably rubbed against each other, causing the latter's face to turn red.

"Click."

"Junior Sister Huang, why are you blushing? You two are tied together, not together."

The senior from the directing department who was sitting in front of the monitor looked at the filmed footage and joked in a bad mood.

"Take a ten-minute break and adjust yourself."

After Tian Xiaole finished speaking, a crew member came forward and untied the ropes on the two people.

Huang Shengyi ran out in a hurry and could vaguely see water stains on the seat.
