The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 4 Teacher Yang's Worries

Hang up the phone.

Teacher Yang picked up the remote control and turned off the TV.

"I know that watching TV and talking to your son on the phone is not as important as the Starlight Stage? Haven't you watched all of this episode? You can't bear to leave the rerun, right?"

Teacher Chen looked a little helpless: "I'll listen to you when you call, but the voice has been turned down for you? I have two things in one mind."

"You're still doing two things at once. I think you're heartless. Your son is becoming more and more difficult to manage. You won't take the postgraduate entrance examination, you won't take the public examination, and you won't be able to become a teacher when you come back. Do you want to stay in the capital? Ah, I couldn’t find a stable large unit, so I kept calling for a movie every day.”

"Today, Lao Liu from class three asked me, did your son graduate? What unit is he in? I made a fool of myself."

"Old Chen, what are you talking about? I said my son is making a movie?"

"Who can believe something so out of reach?"

"I don't know what this movie was made of. People might think it's a fraudulent pyramid scheme. Last time his second aunt called, implying that I don't mean that this kid has mixed into some underworld. This big city It's very messy, and if you don't pay attention, you will go astray, and I can't get angry when you say her kindness."

"It's winter vacation, let's go to the capital to see him." Teacher Yang slapped his thigh and made a decision.

Teacher Chen sighed: "I can't go. The experimental class I lead will take the senior high school entrance examination next year. I have to prepare well for the final sprint lesson plan during the winter vacation."

"Besides, the winter vacation is almost New Year's Eve. Isn't your son coming back after the New Year's Eve? Didn't you go to waste? Ask him face to face if he has any questions when he comes back. Besides, the child rents a house in the capital, so there may not be a place for us to live. Could it be possible to stay in a hotel?"

"You elm head, can it be the same thing if I go to his place and return home?"

"I don't want to see where he lives? How much money does he have as a fresh graduate? Living in Chang'an is not easy. How expensive is the rent in the capital? If I live in a group rented house like the one shown on TV, I can't take it Did he get it back? If this is the case, you don’t go and see, you just ask, can he tell the truth?”

"There is still life. I don't get off work until after ten o'clock in the evening. If I am so busy, can I have time to cook? If I don't cook, I can still go out to eat every day? How expensive is the price in the capital? Can I eat good food? Maybe I eat pickled rice every day. What about the face..."

Teacher Chen was taken aback, and hurried forward to appease him: "Why are you crying while talking?"

"Just say that you are heartless! Don't you worry about your son suffering outside?"

"Can young people struggle without suffering? When we were young and married, we still lived in a single building. The four families shared a hallway and a bathroom, and the conditions were not very good. Besides, this child has a fortune. In high school, I can rely on him. Xiao Congming runs some strange small businesses in school, which sounds outrageous and can still make money, you say, this kid has a business mind, and he won't be short of money."

"No matter how smart you are in business, don't you have to work hard? Can money fall from the sky?"

"Well, actually, I mainly want to figure out what he's been messing with all day."

"Both of us are teachers, and the conditions are not bad. We will have a pension in the future. We don't expect him to retire. We have saved three houses for decades. I planned to spend a few more years, and I have enough money." Sell ​​another one and buy a big house in the provincial capital. If it’s not enough, we will pay back the mortgage. With his education, he won’t be able to find a job in the provincial capital. Isn’t this wedding house enough?”

"I didn't plan for him to have any big career. Even if he can't get along in the capital, he will have food, clothing and a house when he comes back with nothing, but what's the matter with making a movie? You said this movie can't be made without millions? I'm afraid that he will get involved in the money. If he owes a huge amount of debt, can the two of us settle it for him? One or two million is fine, but millions can be a big deal. The entertainment industry is so chaotic. Some are in jail."

Perhaps these words moved Mr. Chen, and he no longer objected to Mr. Yang's proposal to go to the capital for inspection.

"Then go on winter vacation."

"You have finally turned your brains around. We need to make up our minds together on this matter, and we are not afraid that he will not listen. I don't know if his filming is not finished during the winter vacation. If the thing he is messing with is really unreliable , we both tied him up and tied him back."

……

Chen Jingxing was so busy these days that he barely touched the ground. In just four days, the number on the scale increased by three catties.

He understood why obesity is a poor disease in developed countries.

Working every day has already exhausted people, who still has that leisurely exercise?I just want to spread it on the sofa, and even throw away the trash lazily.

If the pressure is greater, it is even more inseparable from the comfort of food.

The director is a combination of the two. For Chen Jingxing, the process of filming is the process of losing control of his weight.

This is still the case when he has "shots" to copy.

If there is only a script, and the director wants to realize the conversion from text to camera image, then he does not know how many brain cells will be consumed.

The final scenes are basically concentrated outdoors.

Movies and TV dramas don’t have to be shot in chronological order, but for low-cost movies like “Comet” where the scenes are concentrated in one house and the story development is promoted through the dialogue and interaction of characters, there is really no reason not to shoot in chronological order .

So generally the plots in the house are filmed in order, and the final outdoor plot is mainly composed of three parts, one part is the daytime plot at the end, which has already been filmed; the other part is the protagonists going out of the house to visit the opposite side in the dark "Protagonists"; the last part is that the heroine walks out of the house alone and passes through identical buildings one after another, with identical windows, and identical herself and her friends behind the windows.

"I remember you said that you bought this house and moved out when you were in your junior year. Could it be that you had already figured out how to shoot at that time?"

As the heroine, Yan Xiaoyue came over during the preparations for the shooting, and asked while admiring the storyboard.

"I finished the storyboard when I was a junior in college, what do you think?"

Director Xiao Chen made no secret of the pride on his face.

You must know that the story of the original "Comet" movie happened in the big house.

There is no big mansion here, if you rent a villa for shooting, it would be a bit unconventional, and it becomes a wonderful story that happened to the rich, which is very ungrounded.

So Chen Jingxing took a lot of effort to find this house.

The reason why I bought a house on the first floor was for the shooting of "Comet".

If you don't draw the curtains, you can directly see the living room and dining room from the outside.

In this way, under the background of a non-detached big house, after the heroine goes out, she walks forward and sees exactly the same buildings, the same windows, and the same living room and the same people through the windows.

Because it is on the first floor, just some editing skills are enough.

If it is at a high level, it is difficult to realize the shocking plot at the end of the movie. The heroine needs to look up to see the window, and she cannot see the different stories and situations of the protagonists in the window. Is this plausible?

……

This last outdoor scene was filmed under the watchful eyes of many community residents.

Everyone has seen movies, but filming is rare, let alone filming in a residential area instead of a studio.

The onlookers are mainly aunts and uncles and children.

The crowd formed a semi-ellipse as if looking at a diorama, looking back and forth, looking at Chen Jingxing, who was holding a light in his left hand and holding a visor in his right hand, the cameraman with a cat on his waist, and the heroine Yan Xiaoyue. go.

There are even parents who can't squeeze into the front row and watch the filming with their children on their shoulders.

Among them is director Xiao Chen's neighbor who once misunderstood the meaning of "making a movie", Li Pingchuan's family of three.

"I've walked back and forth a dozen times on this stretch of the road, right? It seems that actors also work hard on their own." Li Ge, who was a little fatter, sighed.

"I told you to gossip about people a few days ago, but you didn't know what kind of movie it was. Why did you just walk? Isn't this Xiao Chen the director? He's carrying it from left to right, and looks more tired than that little girl."

Brother Li still has some knowledge: "Low-budget movies, there are hundreds of people on the crew of big movies, the director is of course comfortable, no matter how rich Xiao Chen's family is, it is impossible to invest too much in him, there are only a few people, and one person cannot be two." Make it."

"With just a few people, the movie doesn't seem to cost much, does it?"

"What do you know? Actors don't need money. There are seven or eight actors in Xiao Chen's film alone, and all of them are teachers from Wuyi Theater. Think about how much it costs? At least it costs more than 100 million."

"No way, in less than a week, one person can earn 10,000+? This money is too easy to earn."

"Mom, I want to be an actor when I grow up! Make a lot of money!"

My son, who has just entered the second grade of primary school, finally understands how to make more money, and started to speak children's words loudly.

"Silly son, I want to encourage you when you said this a few years ago. In the past two years, you have grown more and more like your father, and I can't even say words of comfort."

Brother Li: "..."
