Chapter 48 Non-mainstream director

PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket!Ask for a recommendation ticket!Ask for a recommendation ticket!

The success of "The Butcher in the Rain" naturally inspired Qiu Litao's ambition.It gave him the idea to prepare his first feature film.

Before serving as the assistant director for Wu Xiaozu, Qiu Litao also experimented with some small films, documentaries, and experimental short films.He is also a graduate student, and there is no shortage of basic theories.The only thing missing is the opportunity to practice.The support of Wu Xiaozu and the promise of Jiang Zhiqiang, the big water hose, allowed him to find this opportunity.

In a very short time, he worked out a script with his friend "Big Eyed Boy".

Wu Xiaozu was very pleased that Qiu Litao could come up with the script perfectly.At least he didn't really ask Wu Xiaozu to "check the school" with only a few pieces of paper.Whether the script is good or bad, this attitude is worthy of recognition.It is also obvious that everyone belongs to the type of one hexagram.

The film industry on Hong Kong Island is extremely impetuous at the moment.This kind of thing only exists in the big production films in twos and threes.In more production crews, the director and screenwriter rushed out a thin sheet of "Airplane Boy" on the set and showed it to the actors.A lot of times, the stars are in the show, and it is only when the crew arrives that they know what to shoot that day.

It is undeniable that the situation of rushing to make bridges on the spot will burst out excellent creativity and artistic inspiration.But for a mature film work, a complete and detailed script and shooting outline should be the way to go.Moreover, this does not limit the director's live performance.

Qiu Litao's script is very thin, but he tells the story clearly.

The script is about two little sisters who have a good relationship, let's call them Miss A and Miss B.Both of them were attracted by the director, and they participated in a small movie at the same time.At this time, they fell in love with the same man at the same time, and turned against each other!

When Wu Xiaozu saw this, he only felt dog blood all over his face.

Immediately afterwards, Miss A was caught by unspoken rules during the filming, the film was released, and she became famous but quit the entertainment circle without any nostalgia.

Miss Sister B acted in the movie instead of her, and her luck has been prosperous since then.Later, when the two women met, Miss B knew that Miss A was pregnant, and the black-hearted director came to the door to entangle and persecute....

At this point, the dog died, and the dog's blood was obviously not enough.

If he hadn't thought that Qiu Litao could still be rescued, Wu Xiaozu would have just thrown the script into the toilet as toilet paper.

Then the sisters smiled and lost their grievances and joined hands to fight against the black-hearted director...

The whole script contains: sisters tearing up, unspoken rules in the entertainment industry, problem girls, rock and roll youth, unmarried children, elopement and all kinds of permanent elements of later generations of bloody youth films, which can be called a small era in the 80s.

Fortunately, Wu Xiaozu insisted on reading it.

At first he just thought the story was very bloody and familiar.

But when I turned to the script description at the back, it suddenly dawned on me.I'm glad that I didn't give up halfway, and make up my own brain, otherwise my face must be very painful.

Let's put the script into it. If Miss A is called Lin Biqi, Miss B will be Wen Bixia, and the starring film is called "Beautiful Girl".unfold the story-

I~ 艹屮艸芔芹...

This time, do you still feel dog blood?
Wu Xiaozu immediately understood that Qiu Litao had been working hard for a long time, but he really didn't fart well.The small body contains a big dream, a comedic face, and it is going to make Guo Xiaosi shocked.

After reading the explanation, I knew that Qiu Litao was the inspiration for seeing the popularity of "The Butcher in the Rainy Night".Throw away the originally written script "his la", and let go of the scale again to attack-society-society!
The show is called "The True Story of a Beautiful Girl".

Although the story is still a bit of artistic processing, it basically alludes to a generation of "legendary" actress Lin Biqi, the Chinese Yamaguchi Baihui.

The big director Li Hanxiang once said: "Many people say that Lin Biqi is China's Yamaguchi Baihui. I think people will call Yamaguchi Baihui the RB's Lin Biqi in the future!"

Highly rated!Director Li is very loud!A mouthful of poisonous milk sprayed clearly.

clap clap clap!
Then, in one sentence, this Chinese Yamaguchi Baihui is like RB's real body. As soon as his career has reached its peak, he chose to retire bravely, and directly bid farewell to the entertainment industry.

At that time, many film companies were waving a lot of money to "borrow" Mai Dangxiong to demand new dramas, and Mai Dangxiong also thought he had a pair of "ghost" bombs in his high spirits.However, he didn't know that the game was blackjack, and a bomb was useless...

Lin Biqi announced her retirement from the entertainment industry in a high-profile manner without even going to receive the golden statuette.Then he turned around and eloped with his sister's boyfriend, and went to hide the devil to give birth to a baby...

Mai Dangxiong was almost broken by Shan's waist, but he stared blankly but could do nothing.

There are a lot of dirty satirical descriptions about the entertainment industry in the script.There is even the suspicion of insinuating Mai Dangxiong, the Golden Horse Director.When he saw this, Wu Xiaozu was very sure that Qiu Litao was obviously going to do something.

In the previous life, Qiu Litao was supported by Director Mai Dangxiong. The script mainly focused on Lin Biqi's personal feelings, and the film was very gentle.

In this life, it's hard to say!
The trend of Wu Xiaozu's popularity and gimmicks has a great influence on Qiu Litao, and the first film was biased. Qiu Litao's image style is sharper and more exciting than his previous life...

Thinking of this, Wu Xiaozu secretly gave Qiu Litao a thumbs up.

Evil guide, sharp enough!
The first female work is a hard anal director. Isn't this what courage is?
"Tuk-tuk-"

Just as Wu Xiaozu was thinking about it, footsteps came from the stairs, Jiang Zhiqiang and Qiu Litao came together with a smile on their faces.

Two days ago, after discussing the script with Wu Xiaozu, Qiu Litao and Wu Xiaozu clarified the theme of the film and polished the script, and then began to raise investment and prepare to shoot the first movie of his life.

Jiang Zhiqiang seems to have tasted the sweetness of being small and broad.He himself is very optimistic about this new play with the idea of ​​"revealing the secrets of the entertainment industry and angering the great director".

Antai Pictures simply invested 45 yuan to Qiu Litao for the shooting of the new play.Became the largest investor in the film "The True Story of a Beautiful Girl".

In order to show support, Wu Xiaozu, 1024 Locomotive Studio also invested 15.Qiu Litao put together another 10 yuan, and invested a total budget of 70 yuan to shoot his first female work - "The True Story of a Beautiful Girl".

For such a debut ~ female film, the investment of 70 yuan is very impressive.At least he is much luckier than Wu Xiaozu.

Equipment, venues, labor, props, costumes, plus post-editing, soundtrack, and copy film, this money is enough to deal with.Of course, big stars don't have to think about it.All the investment together can not invite an A-list star.Like Wu Xiaozu's first film, it is a downright B-level production small film.

Originally, Qiu Litao wanted to invite Wu Xiaozu to be the producer of the drama "The True Story of a Beautiful Girl", but Wu Xiaozu declined on the grounds of preparing a new film.

On Hong Kong Island at this time, the supervisory power was amazing.

Many people think that TVB was the first to establish a supervisory responsibility system.actually not.Although TVB's gold medal supervisors are many and famous nowadays, the biggest culprit who really puts the supervisory power is Mai Danxiong, who was still in Li at the beginning.

Since then, both ATV and TVB have truly entered the production center.

Wu Xiaozu didn't want to go into muddy waters.I didn't even think about interfering with the shooting.

Since the film industry had a producer, the producer and director rarely urinate in the same pot, especially when two people who both understand movies get together.

Tsui Hark and Wu Yusen are the most typical examples.The "True Colors of Heroes 2", which is being prepared, began to have a bad relationship with each other, and the two were also drifting apart on the road of tearing, and they were angry all the way, until they parted ways and still do not communicate with each other.It was not until Xu Hark and Mr. Shi Nansheng divorced later that Wu Yusen and him smiled and wiped out their grievances and reconciled!cough cough...

Both of them have artistic pursuits, and when the supervisory power is astonishingly large, it must be very outrageous to be a supervisor easily.

Tsui Hark did the right thing when he asked Cheng Xiaodong later.Except for Cheng Xiaodong, no one would think that influences such as "A Chinese Ghost Story" are his masterpieces, right?Cheng Xiaodong's work in the crew is actually the work of an action director.

Wu Xiaozu refused the invitation, but Jiang Zhiqiang took up the positions of producer, producer and producer.As for Jiang Ershao's thoughts, Wu Xiaozu didn't care.

Individuals have their own ideas, and if they want to maintain the cooperative relationship, it is more appropriate to seek common ground while shelving differences!

"Look at you two being so happy and proud of the spring breeze, do you want to exaggerate?" Wu Xiaozu took out two cans of cold beer from the refrigerator and threw them to the two.

Jiang Zhiqiang slumped on the sofa in a very unimpressive manner, opened a beer, and took a sip, "A Tao specially invited Lin Biqi's husband and a group of friends from the entertainment industry to participate in the performance. Tell me if I want to show you the spring breeze. ? I said that this film must be full of gimmicks, and the results will not be bad."

Wu Xiaozu glanced at Qiu Litao in surprise. This guy plays bands, writes columns, writes film reviews, publishes books, and plays photography. He is all-rounder.

When he recorded the songs "Higher Animals" and "Junkyard" by himself, it was the rocker's soundtrack that he pulled.This guy messes with a lot of non-mainstream friends.No wonder later generations are also non-mainstream directors.

Wait, Wu Xiaozu touched the new beard stubble on his chin, and was stunned for a moment. Did he delineate himself as non-mainstream?Going deeper, if Qiu Litao said something like: Director Wu gave me inspiration, then Wu Xiaozu would be the leader of the B-movie gang.

The [-]th line director felt that he was in danger.

"Brother Zu, are you ready for your new play?" Qiu Litao said, picking up the draft and drawing paper on the coffee table, "Huh?"

A sketch drawn with pencil on the drawing paper, two women in the room hugged and cried in horror.Turn to the next page, four images.On the next page, a headless corpse.Turning it over again, the two men looked at each other in despair.

Then turn over-

call!
Qiu Litao let out a breath of turbid air, his eyes excited.This movie is very three-dimensional just by looking at Wu Xiaozu's simple sketch.At the same time, I have to sigh with emotion that Wu Xiaozu really has the rare art skills of directors in Hong Kong.

If a director has a problem with his own aesthetics, then the film must be a bad film.

The aesthetic here is not just an art issue, but includes a lot.For example, Guo Xiaosi's "Little Times" has problems not only with aesthetics, but also with three views.

　Thanks for the reward!Thanks for the support!Just got home, tired as a dog!take a nap--
