The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 5 DreamWorks

"cheers!"

"I wish Director Chen's movie a big hit!"

"It shouldn't be called Director Chen, it should be called Mr. Chen. I wish Mr. Chen a prosperous career and ring the bell to go public as soon as possible!"

"Replace wine with tea, I wish everyone a bright future and success in their careers!"

"It's more appropriate to be called Director Chen. I'll ask you to call you Xiao Chen. You are talented as a director. If you really love this job, stick to it. Don't have the mentality of playing tickets. I believe that there will be you in the film industry in the future." name."

"Mr. Chen, you are talented, and talent can't just drink tea, it needs wine too."

"Okay! We won't go home today if we don't get drunk. I'll ask the waiter to bring a bottle of wine."

After the movie was finished, Chen Jingxing fulfilled his promise to invite everyone to dinner. The place where the guests were invited was originally the canteen of a certain city’s office in Beijing, but it was later renamed as Sanqin Restaurant. In terms of official cuisine, it ranks first in the capital, except for being expensive. Other disadvantages.

Perhaps it was the meal that impressed several theater teachers, or it was Chen Jingxing's performance during the week's filming that moved them. In short, although the original politeness was still there, his heartfelt words began to increase.

Although there is Yan Xiaoyue's matchmaking, all the theater teachers are basically here for money. The script is indeed an interesting story to read, and that's all.

For movies, the process from text to image is the same as the transition of matter from the microcosm to the macrocosm. It is quite metaphysical. Maybe the director can grasp this process, and the actors are often confused.

Therefore, the bad movies made by many actors are not necessarily the ones that they knew were bad movies when they first took the role. Many times, they only found out that they were bad movies after the edited finished product came out. is something.

What's more, even if I think it is a good movie after watching it, it is also a metaphysics whether it is popular with the audience.

However, "Comet" is a small movie with a strong color of suspense and reasoning. It is a movie where the script plays a major role. Therefore, during the shooting process, the eight actors' impressions of this movie became more and more intense. Well, I also feel that although Director Xiao Chen is a rich second generation, he is not a rich second generation who plays with tickets. At least he treats movies and performances seriously.

Now that Brother Gongzi is indeed planning to enter into the film and television industry and the company has also been established, there may be opportunities to deal with him in the future. Although the drama actors in the Wuyi Theater have their own loftiness, they do not reject film and television dramas. Several pillars of the troupe But they have made a lot of film and television dramas, not to mention that film is also an art, who doesn’t want to earn money, the little salary paid by the theater troupe can only be considered more than enough for food and clothing, and high ambitions don’t mean that they must live a poor life.

"Several teachers, to be honest, I am already preparing for the next project, and the script is almost finished. I am very satisfied with the cooperation of "Comet". The performances of several teachers are also very good. I hope we can continue to cooperate Opportunity."

Although Chen Jingxing has only made one movie so far, and has only worked with eight actors for less than a week, but the relationship is quite pleasant. The most important thing is that he does not need to guide the performance of the actors, because he is also a layman in acting.

Chen Jinghang has taught himself a lot of shooting skills and director-related knowledge in four years of university, but he has not dabbled too much in acting, and he himself has no talent for acting. Of course, training actors does not necessarily require the director to be able to perform. The ability and methods of training actors can be Mastered in practice, but director Xiao Chen is not going to spend time and energy on training the actors' acting skills in his first debut.

Fortunately, the few actors he found were too worry-free in this regard, although he could see that most of the actors did not take the movie "Comet" seriously, even though most of them were on May [-] The theaters are also B-corners, and there are not many opportunities to appear, but the daily rehearsal of the repertoire is more important than acting in this movie.

Even so, the eight actors knew the lines of the movie script by heart. Although they all brought the script with them when they came to his house for filming, they basically didn’t need to read it. None of them memorized the lines on the spot. Memorize the lines in advance, which is the most basic quality in their education and concepts.

If Chen Jingxing is not satisfied with one of their performances, as long as he describes what he wants, these actors can also respond quickly to change, so he doesn't need to bother too much.

It's just so easy to use.

Good actors can make directors addicted, which is why some directors will use them desperately according to a few familiar faces. The chef's knife for cooking is not willing to change it once it is easy to use.

""Comet" hasn't been sold yet, is it time to start preparing for the second project? Director Chen's pace is too fast!"

"Is the next movie going to be on the theme of "Comet"? It's also low-cost? Come on, let's have another drink!"

"Well, I... I estimated before that the next movie may be an investment of tens of millions." Director Chen, who has a strong drinking capacity, already feels a little dizzy.

"..."

"Why are you all looking at me like that?"

Everyone looked at Chen Jingxing with admiration and exchanged glances, confirming that they had the same thoughts.

"This little Director Chen...

Parents are also very interesting. "

There are even some people who have filtered in their minds the billionaires surnamed Chen in China who can spend tens of millions on gambling for their children... Ah no, making movies is impossible without hundreds of millions or even more assets. These days Listed companies may not be able to come up with tens of millions of capital flows at once.

"Senior Sister, hurry up and eat the food, this wine is on the top, don't just...don't just play with your phone...let me see...what are you searching for?"

"What rich list?"

"No, no, you're dazzled. What I just searched for was...how much is the glass of wine you drank."

"Is... isn't it written on the bottle?"

"Look, 1982..."

"Raffi..."

"12.5 degrees..."

"It's strange... no wonder the top is so fast, the speed is indeed a bit high..."

……

In the office of an office building.

Chen Jingxing leaned against the seat and rubbed his temples.

Still a little dizzy.

Unexpectedly, after two days, the alcohol still has not been metabolized.

I drank too much, I can't do this again in the future.

If Chen Jingxing was a migrant worker who had just left school, he would naturally not be able to say too much. Could it be that the people toasting at the wine table all liked to drink?

Fortunately, Chen Jingxing can be regarded as a little hero to some extent. Movies are his dream, not a means of earning a living. It is unlikely that he will never drink alcohol in the future, but it is still possible to drink less.

The company's various procedures have been completed, and the office must naturally be in place, although the rent is not cheap.

It is possible to rent a cheap office, but he still gritted his teeth and took part of the "film shooting funds" he had worked so hard to save, and rented a decent facade.

Although you need to be low-key, sometimes you need to be high-key when doing things. This is not a question of whether you care about face, but a question of how others see you and cooperate with you.

A good working environment can increase employees' confidence in the company. Even fraudulent companies know that renting high-priced office buildings can increase Leek's confidence in the company. It makes sense to replace Leeks with employees.

Of course, this is all superficial work. Even if you work in the Empire State Building, it will not affect the speed of the boss.

The company's own operating conditions are fundamental, and Chen Jingxing believes that there is a cultural product from a parallel universe to rely on, and the future of the company is still very bright.

The company name is DreamWorks.

Originally, Chen Jingxing thought of a company named "Gaoshan", Gaoshan Film and Television Culture Production and Communication Co., Ltd.

The mountains rise and stop, the scenery stops.

What a culture.

Coupled with the title and logo of Paramount from the previous life, this is too appropriate.

But I still feel that Gao Shan is not grand enough, not fashionable enough, and does not reflect his attitude towards movies enough.

In the end, I chose "DreamWorks".

DreamWorks Studios.

Isn't the movie just to create dreams for people?

Of course, the main reason is that there is no film and television company named DreamWorks in this plane.

Coupled with Paramount's title and logo, it is DreamWorks sitting on the top of a mountain.
