Entertainment from Charlotte's Troubles

Chapter 244 The Hidden Corner, Zhang Dongsheng

Three films in the May [-]st file broke the one billion box office and caused quite a stir.

It is definitely a big deal for the film and television industry.

After one or two years, the film industry will start to have more than one billion movies, but how many movies are there in a year?
On average, there is one look a year, and one year there is no one.

But this year alone on May [-]st, there have been three billion-dollar movies.

There is a National Day in the back.

The National Day file has a seven-day holiday, and the box office efficiency is not worse than [-] million, or even better. Generally, blockbuster movies are aimed at the three schedules of Spring Festival, May Day, and National Day.

Zhou Xingchi's Beauty Girl was launched last year, and it has already been completed. It will be released on National Day this year. This is a gambling movie. It is said that the box office of the gambling is no less than 20 billion.

If you look at it this way, it is not a problem to release three billion-dollar movies this year.

Three billion-dollar movies are released a year. Who would have imagined this result a few years ago?

Ten years ago, the domestic box office champion over the years was only a few hundred million, and it doubled in just a few years. This speed is really fierce.

This also allows more capital to see the big cake of the predetermined film market.

Just after May Day, seven or eight production crews with an investment of over [-] million yuan have already started up in Hengdian, all of which are popular stars with old drama talents.

Yuan Hua is also in Hengdian. Compared with these large crews with an investment of over [-] million, the small cost of tens of millions in a hidden corner is not eye-catching at all.

"Everyone, be quiet!"

"Staff, extras, actors, check to see if your phone is turned off."

"The eighth scene, the sixth mirror, the fifth, action!"

On the side of the street, Yuan Hua was wearing a hat, sitting in front of the monitor and watching the scene quietly. Three children came down from the stairs.

Two men and one woman, the man is twelve or thirteen years old, junior high school age, and the woman is seven or eight years old.

"Yan Liang, is there really no problem?"

"Don't worry, we'll leave later. Zhu Chaoyang and I will go in. You wait outside. If we don't come down in 10 minutes, call the police."

"Be careful."

"Ok!"

The three young children said frightening words, and no one could have imagined whether they were going to blackmail an adult or an adult with two lives in their hands.

A few days ago, Zhang Dongsheng, the son-in-law, invited his father-in-law, who had looked down on him for a long time, to climb a mountain. He took the two of them to stand on the edge of the cliff to take pictures, and pushed them down when the two elders were not paying attention.

This scene happened to be photographed by three children playing on the opposite side of the mountain.

The three children are not fuel-efficient lamps. They are wearing vests. The taller one is Yan Liang. His father was murdered and sent to prison.

The youngest girl is Pupu, because she has a bad stomach and always farts farts. The people in the orphanage nicknamed her Pupu.

Cute in appearance, mature in mind, ruthless in doing things, and kills without blinking an eye.

Seeing Zhu Chaoyang being bullied by her stepmother and daughter, she did not hesitate to push the child down from the fourth floor, in order to help Zhu Chaoyang who had only known each other for a few days.

The reason why she and Yan Liang ran away from the orphanage was because her younger brother was seriously ill and needed 30 yuan, so they came out to raise money.

But the relatives who played better with Yan Liang's father ignored them, and that's why the three of them planned to blackmail Zhang Dongsheng.

The last child is Zhu Chaoyang. He looks thin and honest, with a crew cut. He is a top student in his class. His parents are divorced and he lives with his mother.

Before Yan Liang entered the orphanage, he was good friends with Zhu Chaoyang, and the first thing he thought of after running out of the orphanage this time was to join him.

My mother usually works in a tourist attraction, and she can't come back when she is busy with work. As of today, Zhu Chaoyang has taken in Yan Liang and Pupu for three days.

But he was not simple. On the first day of taking them in, he hid his mother's bracelet and cash, leaving only an empty bag in the closet.

In order to guard against the two, he also clamped a hair with the wardrobe door. As long as the hair is not there, it means that the wardrobe at home has been opened.

However, Pu Pu and Yan Liang didn't touch his wardrobe. Not only did they not move, they slept on the floor, helping to clean the TV, buy vegetables and cook every day.

Moved with compassion, Zhu Chaoyang agreed to use the video he shot to extort 30 yuan from the murderer Zhang Dongsheng to help Pupu's younger brother raise money.

"Card, pass!"

After the director finished speaking, he glanced at Yuan Hua at the side: "Mr. Yuan, do you think this radio is okay?"

For a [-]-episode web series, Yuan Hua actually requested the original soundtrack. When he first heard the request, he almost couldn't laugh out loud.

The original sound is rarely used, even some big-budget movies are not used.

Because the shooting scene is noisy, a quiet environment is necessary to record the original voice of the actors.

For example, the place where they are filming now is a cross road. There are usually a lot of people coming and going, and the sound of changing kitchen knives, washing machine and refrigerator can be heard from time to time around.

In order to keep the environment quiet, Yuan Hua visited the louder shops in the three nearby streets. Those who gave fruit gave fruit, and those who gave money gave money. This has the current effect.

The surrounding environment is second to none, and there is another difficulty in recording the original soundtrack, that is, the actors have a good command of their lines.

Generally, when the crew is acting, the director reminds the actors while they are acting, and the director is also saying the lines over there, but it is just to remind the actors of their emotions, for example: Next, be more enchanting, tears will come down immediately, cry for me, okay, just In this way, hold on, the actress takes the role..."

This is not the case with the original soundtrack, because the director's voice will be included, and the actors can only play it.

To be honest, the director believed in Yuan Hua's ability in the play The Hidden Corner, and what he was worried about was that the young actors would not be able to hold the play.

But the result was beyond his expectation, the young actors were very good, and there were very few NG scenes.

"The radio is fine. You can follow up with the post-editing. Don't cut the small expressions of Pupu and Zhu Chaoyang and the scene of grabbing the trouser legs because of nervous swallowing."

"Um, ok, any more questions?"

"It's gone for the time being. I'll go over to put on makeup first. You guys pack up and come over later."

The second scene was an interior scene. At Zhang Dongsheng's house, Zhu Chaoyang and Yan Liang came to extort money.

The shooting location was in a nearby residential area, an ordinary two-bedroom and one-living room.

In order to create a sense of reality, the crew shot in the home of a young couple who had been married for three years. All the furniture and furnishings remained unchanged, so a few photos of Yuan Hua were uploaded.

After the staff set up the machine, Yuan Hua also finished her makeup.

His hair is slightly long, his forehead is combed into a Korean-style middle part, and he wears rimless glasses. He looks polite, and his white shirt is tucked into his jeans, which is clean and unpretentious.

There is a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, very bookish.

Those who didn't know thought he was really a teacher who taught and educated people.

"This scene is not the right scene, let's act directly."

When Yuan Hua spoke, several young actors froze for a moment, bowed their heads nervously and recited their lines.

Regardless of their young age, they have been in the industry for two or three years. They have played roles in many dramas. In the hidden corner crew, the lowest salary is 10 yuan, and the other two are 15 and 20 yuan.

"Are you ready?" Yuan Hua asked ten minutes later.

"Okay, okay."

"Teacher, I'm almost there, can you give me another 5 minutes?"

The child who played Zhu Chaoyang said nervously that his lines were much stricter and more difficult.

It's not that he didn't memorize the lines yesterday, but today he felt nervous when he saw the cold Yuan Hua, worried that he wouldn't be able to remember the lines for a while, so he wanted to memorize them for a few more minutes.

"I will give you 5 minutes, who will give me 5 minutes, do you know how much I pay for 1 minute?"

"If you can act, you can act, and you can't change people!"

As soon as Yuan Hua opened his mouth, not to mention the two children, even the staff were frightened, and none of them dared to speak up, let alone speak for the two young actors.

After all, what he said was the truth.

The salary for a single episode is one million, an episode of four and 10 minutes, an average of 1 per minute, and 5 for 12 minutes.

In another room, in front of the monitor, the actor Zhang Songwen came to watch the play. He played the role of Zhu Chaoyang's father. He came in just in time to see Yuan Hua's furious scene.

Fearing that rumors would hurt Yuan Hua's reputation, the director explained: "Teacher Yuan is under a lot of pressure, and he has put in a lot of effort for this drama. He has to pay attention to everything. It is inevitable that he is a little impatient."

"Understood." Zhang Songwen nodded with a smile, but he didn't think so in his heart.

As an adult, what's the point of getting mad at two kids?

Obviously, Yuan Hua's moral character is not good.

People in the industry say that Yuan Hua is dedicated, has a good temper, and has no airs, but from what he has seen, regardless of whether he is dedicated or not, he has a bad temper and has a lot of airs anyway.

At the shooting scene, Yuan Hua said to the two children with a cold face: "I'm in a hurry, I won't allow NG for a while, don't stop until the director calls you, you understand?"

"understood."

"understood."

Shrinking his neck, the child was a little frightened, as if his heart was beating a drum.

"Then let's get started!"

"Clear the field, and let the unrelated people go out."

"Check the wire on the ground, don't shoot it for a while."

"Close the curtains and dim the lights."

"Second scene, first shot, action!"

"Tuk Tuk Tuk!"

After changing into a pair of house slippers, Yuan Hua sat in the living room watching TV with a plate of fruit on the coffee table.

Outside, there was a knock on the door.

"Who is it!"

Putting on his slippers, he didn't open the door immediately, but stood by the door and asked.

There was no speaking outside, and the knock on the door rang again.

As if thinking of something, Zhu Chaoyang took a few steps back and looked up at the peephole on the door.

On this side, Yuan Hua also looked into the cat's eyes and saw the two children. He relaxed his tension and opened the door halfway, just enough for half of his body to pass through, with his hands still on the doorknob.

"Who are you looking for?"

In front of the monitor, Zhang Songwen nodded when he saw this scene, and had to admit that Yuan Hua still has acting skills, and the small details are well done.

Zhang Dongsheng is a murderer. He killed not only his father-in-law, but also his wife. Although he did it seamlessly, but the sky is watching, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

He heard a knock on the door suddenly, or twice in a row, and he was afraid even if he had a ghost in his heart.

So when he opened the door, he only opened it halfway, and put his hand on the doorknob, ready to close the door at any time.

Zhu Chaoyang didn't dare to look him in the eyes, and said weakly, "I'm looking for you!"

"Why are you looking for me?"

Yan Liang roared: "Stop pretending, Zhang, we all know about you."

Eyelids twitched, Yuan Hua's expression remained unchanged: "What's the matter?"

"No. 16 of this month, ten o'clock in the morning, scenic spot." Zhu Chaoyang calmed down and raised the digital camera in his hand.

"Come in and talk."

"Crack!"

After closing the door, the light in the room dimmed a lot. Yuan Hua walked to the TV cabinet, took out a fruit knife, and walked towards the two children step by step.

"You, you, what are you doing?"

"Don't mess around, we have evidence of your murder, and we're recording it."

"Are you afraid that I will kill you if you dare to come to the door even if you know that I have killed people?"

"My friend is outside. If we don't go down for 10 minutes, he will call the police. You can try to touch me?"

Stopping in his tracks, Yuan Hua picked up the apple on the coffee table, sat opposite the two of them, and peeled it one by one, with a calm tone: "Tell me, what exactly do you want?"

"Give us 30, and give you the memory card."

"I'm just an ordinary teacher, don't I have so much money?"

"I don't care, if you don't give it, call the police."

"Then you report it. Before the police come, I will drag you two to be buried with you. You know that I have killed people. Killing two is killing, and killing four is also killing."

With a piece of apple dangling from the tip of the knife, Yuan Hua lowered his head and bit it into his mouth. His tone was calm, but what he said made people shudder.

Zhu Chaoyang and Yan Liang were so frightened that they couldn't speak their lines, but thinking that what Yuan Hua said couldn't be NG, they could only bite the bullet and make up their lines randomly.

"Then how much can you give?"

"My family has 10 yuan in cash to give to you first, and the remaining 20 yuan will be divided into two years. Don't think it's too little. My salary is only so little. If you sell me, you can't get it out."

"Okay, you give one hundred thousand first."

"Wait."

Turning around and going back to the house, Yuan Hua took out 10 yuan in cash, and slapped a pen and paper on the coffee table: "The money is given to you, but I need to write a receipt. I am also afraid that you will turn to the police and arrest me if you take the money."

Here Zhu Chaoyang originally had lines, but he had almost forgotten them, so he could only follow Yuan Hua's rhythm and pick up a pen to write the receipt.

"Don't think about 20 yuan. With this receipt, I can sue you for extortion now. 2000 yuan can be filed, and 10 yuan can be sentenced to more than three years and less than seven years." Yuan Hua looked at the receipt coldly. Said: "Leave the digital camera, 10 yuan will go away."

"me……"

"You are fooling!"

"Will you go?" Yuan Hua raised his head, his eyes behind the glasses were full of murderous intent.

Frightened by this, Zhu Chaoyang and Yan Liang left their digital cameras and walked away in desperation.

Unbeknownst to Zhang Dongsheng, the memory card had already been copied, and when he was about to kill someone to silence him, he was blackmailed again.

But the second time he was blackmailed was not because of money, but another life.

"Card, pass!"

"Change the seat and try again!"

Each one is a pass, and in less than an hour, the filming of this scene was over.

In front of the monitor, the director and Zhang Songwen could also see why Yuan Hua had frightened the two children so that they would not be NG.

Facing the murderer Zhang Dongsheng, the two children should have been nervous and scared. Fearing that their acting would not be realistic, Yuan Hua deliberately frightened them before the filming started.

Not daring to offend a big guy like him, the child acted with nervousness throughout the whole process, and it was a good substitute for Zhu Chaoyang's psychology.

Even if he forgot his words due to nervousness, he was taken away by Yuan Hua's rhythm, which did not affect the shooting at all.

"It's a good shot, it's great." After the filming, Yuan Hua touched the child's head with a smile, then turned to the assistant director and said, "Remember to add chicken legs to the box lunch for tonight."
