What kind of bad thoughts can the director have?

Chapter 80 Game Currency

Both works have applied for filing, and the next main job is to select actors and prepare to start shooting.

The work of "World's Wonderful Events" is relatively easy to carry out. The actors are a fixed team, and the model of continuing to invite stars to help out will not change. The remaining main problem is which star to find for each episode.

The more troublesome thing is "Love Letter from the Kingdom of Heaven". The story is set in a certain city in the north. It is necessary to find a suitable location and shoot a lot of snow scenes.

Among them, campus scenes are relatively easy to do. You can shoot at a school in the capital. After all, schools with complete facilities and beautiful uniforms are similar across the country, and the environment and vegetation look like the north.

The key is that street scenes and wild snow scenes must reflect obvious regional characteristics.

Poplar requires the kind of hilly landform with endless snow, and the pure white environment is suitable for expressing purity and empty despair.

The original work was shot in Hokkaido. If you compare it with the same latitude, the Northeast is the most suitable, and Ning Song is from Changchun.

So when Yang Shu proposed to go to the Northeast, Ning Song responded immediately: "You have found the right person, who is familiar with that?"

This is not true. If the film and television industry is calculated according to the proportion, the Northeast people are actually the most. Gong Yuqing is from Fushun, Liaoning, Qin Hailu is from Yingkou, Liaoning, Fan Wei is from Shenyang, Guo Minkai is also from Changchun, and Yang Shu has worked with and is familiar with. Many of them are from the Northeast.

Many people think that this is a regional characteristic. Because of their dialect and personality, Northeast people occupy a large place in this industry.

This is of course one aspect, but the main reason is that the modern entertainment industry is a product of industrialization, and the Northeast is the earliest and deepest area of ​​industrialization in the country, and the soil gave birth to the market.

Although the group of people represented by Ben Shanzi has a strong taste for black land, in fact, the main market that needs and cultivates them is urbanized residents. After all, most people have been rural people for three generations, which can be regarded as some kind of sentiment.

The same situation happened earlier in the United Kingdom and the United States. The so-called lip service artists in these places, including rap and talk shows, basically come from heavy industrial areas.

Yang Shu and Ning Song made an appointment to go to Heijiliao in a few days. Art takes root in life, and an artist who doesn't show style is not a real artist.

Ning Song asked an artistic question: "Can you bring a woman?"

In this regard, Yang Shu has always maintained an open and respectful attitude: "As long as it does not affect the itinerary, you can bring a few."

There is still some time before the Northeast collection, and some things need to be resolved urgently. Yang Shu spent a day with Liu Man and Jiang Shiyu, looking at several houses in a row.

It must be admitted that Liu Man and Jiang Shiyu are more down-to-earth than Yang Shu. They do not have the perspective of God, and it is difficult for them to accept the desperate consumption concept.

"Have you heard of the three-thirds distribution system? Although the studio has made some money recently, it's best to only use one-third for distribution, and the remaining one-third for reserve, and one-third for future use." Invest in new work.”

They said this more than once.

And Yang Shu's suggestion is that apart from leaving the necessary funds for shooting new works, everything else can be used to buy a house.

This is crazy, so they didn't dare to choose the most expensive core area when choosing real estate. Instead, they circled around Fengtai, SJS, and the northwest direction of Haidian. The current average house price in these areas is around [-].

And the area is not big, about a hundred square meters, even if I help Yang Shu to see the house at the same time, the total price of the three sets is always controlled within 2000 million.

Yang Shu was not satisfied after watching several sets, and he was a little annoyed on the car back to Zicaowu: "A month has passed, you are wasting your time, I watch the sky at night to analyze the general trend of the world, the house price is about to rise, these If you like the place, you can buy it yourself, I will not mix with you."

Liu Man was not very satisfied with his nonsense: "Since you have the ability to watch the sky at night, you can just figure out which neighborhood to buy and it's over. Why let us search around the city."

Just talking and not practicing fake moves, since Yang Shu went off in person, it is not so troublesome to watch the sky at night. He searched all the real estate in the core area on the Internet and ran for two days alone.

He quickly selected three real estate projects, Modern Home, Yanyun Famous Capital, and Platinum Mansion. They were all in the East and West City, and they were all high-rise buildings with an area between [-] and [-] square meters.

The locations of the three properties are first-class, the environment is good, the property management is top-notch, and the Beijing style is strong. The current average unit price is about [-].

The price seems high, but Yang Shu knows that these lots will have to double or triple in value within three years.

Liu Man didn't understand Yang Shu's extravagance and lust: "How can you say that you are also a poor child from a working people's family, why don't you make long-term plans?"

It was not once or twice to reason with them seriously, and Yang Shu didn't bother to say: "Just pretend that you are playing an online game. You have made a lot of money in the game, but we may stop talking at any time." Play this game online, so do you choose to spend the game coins you earn as soon as possible, or keep it in the game account?"

This is a naked game of life, and Jiang Shiyu couldn't help but refute him: "But we will definitely have to play this game of life for decades, and it doesn't mean that we will automatically give up if we don't go online."

"How do you know it will be online tomorrow? It must be able to play for decades? Maybe it will be disconnected tomorrow."

If you say this, you can’t communicate. In fact, you can buy a house on your own. Everyone can buy whatever they want, but they insist on getting together, and they even brought out Su Youpeng and Lin Xinru’s good friends to buy together. Wang Fei, Naying and Xiaoyanzi The girlfriends live together deeply, Zhou Xun and Chen Kun, Yang Mi and Feng Shaofeng, etc. also made appointments to buy a house.

Since they insisted on living together and couldn't convince Yang Shu, they had no choice but to investigate the three properties again.

And Yang Shu took advantage of this time to fly directly to Changchun with Ning Song.

When Liu Man heard that he was going to choose a location, he wanted to follow him for a while: "I will go with you. I am in charge of the crew's money and property. Why not go to the location selection?"

Yang Shu didn't let her go: "This time it's just a preliminary election. Ning Song and I will roughly choose a few more places first, and then we'll go together to make sure. You and Shishi should figure out the house as soon as possible."

This also made Liu Man a little unhappy, feeling that Yang Shu was getting more and more negligent, and he was not as talkative as before.

NO.14 The plane circled over Changchun at noon, and at a glance, the city of Changchun seemed to be shrouded in morning fog.

Ning Song suddenly sang a song by the poplar tree like no one else was there. He sang majesticly, tragically and emotionally, and it sounded like Russian.

"What are you singing about?"

"Soviet anthem."

"What's going on, we got on the wrong plane and flew to Moscow?"

"The plane is right. This is my habit. Every time I fly back to my hometown, I can't help but sing a few lines when I get excited. This song was taught to me by my grandfather. He was a student in the Soviet Union back then."

Both his grandfather and father were photographers at Changchun Film Studio, and photography can be regarded as a family skill.

Changying is the first film studio in New China established on the basis of the Japanese "Manchurian Film Association Co., Ltd." during the Puppet Manchukuo period. It can be called the cradle of new Chinese movies. "Five Golden Flowers", "Shangganling", " Famous films such as "Heroes and Daughters" and "Liu Sanjie" were all shot by this factory, which sounds like it has a long history.

But according to Ning Song, neither his grandfather nor father participated in the filming of feature films, and his life was either a documentary or a science and education film, and he was always unknown.

"Now Changying has no works, and the old factory area has been turned into a tourist attraction."

This is a sad story. In fact, not only Changying, but also several major domestic film studios have declined, and some have been delisted.

The two stayed at the Jilin Provincial Hotel next to the People's Square, and in the afternoon went to the Changying dormitory on Hongqi Street to see Ning Song's grandfather who had been forgotten.

But for unknown reasons, he didn't go to Ning Song's parents' house. He avoided it on purpose, and Yang Shu didn't ask much.

In the evening, the two returned to People's Square and stood under the Memorial Tower of the Soviet Red Army Martyrs, just in time to see a red sunset on the wide Xi'an Road.

Yang Shu liked this scene very much, pointed to the sunset and said to Ning Song: "This is very good, it must be included in our movie."
