What should I do if my girlfriend is famous and doesn't dump me?

Chapter 151 Spring Festival, You Are Crazy

How can a person who wants to make a good movie and lose money be a good investor.

Zhang Yu "kept improving", but Ning Yuan was stubborn, and then he went all out and became bold.

Before, I was timid, caring about this and that, but now I don't care much.

He also began to try boldly.

The key to the success of this film, besides the performance of the actors, is the director's shooting technique.

A person only has a mobile phone and a lighter.

Even including the coffin, it would probably be an extremely simple movie.

But the simpler it is, the more it will test the director's skill.

Ning Yuan let go, but Zhang Yu smiled.

A scene was originally filmed in half an hour, but it took a long time to shoot.

"It's called box lunch?" Zhang Yu said indifferently, "What kind of people in the crew call this box lunch? Of course it's a restaurant!"

"what?"

Ning Yuan and the others were taken aback, and looked at Zhang Yu in shock.

The cost of ordering box lunches and eating out is not a little bit!

"You are the boss, you have the final say."

Ning Yuan did not persuade Zhang Yu this time.

After all, the movie doesn't even have a supporting cast.

There are really not many people in the crew.

Moreover, most of these people are people who have been with him for a long time.

Why eat lunch when you can eat out?
After dinner, continue to shoot.

As before, Zhang Yu kept improving, Ning Yuan kept trying, and he made several versions of a scene.

"Should we be here today?"

After five o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Yu said.

"It's still early?" Ning Yuan was a little surprised.

Which crew is not working overtime, hoping to finish filming sooner.

But what about Zhang Yu?

What do you want?
Don't you know that the longer the shooting cycle, the higher your investment cost?
Among other things, the crew has to spend money on board and lodging.

"It's getting late, the office workers are about to get off work!" Zhang Yu said, shaking his head.

Ning Yuan: .
Office workers?
Are you leaving get off work soon?

Don't you still think about working from nine to five!

If you are not an investor in this movie, I suspect that you are playing a big game.

"Then call it a day!"

Ning Yuan looked at Zhang Yu, full of doubts, but didn't say much.

Maybe, he has other things to do when he goes back!
Although he vacated his schedule, he is popular now after all.

The topic of him winning the number one person in taekwondo is still on the hot search list.

What's more, he also heard that Zhang Yu is currently preparing for his first album.

Maybe he should go back to writing songs sooner.

The next day, Zhang Yu arrived late.

"You can stay later tomorrow." Zhang Yu said with an embarrassed smile.

So many people were waiting for him alone, which made him feel embarrassed to play big cards.

Do I, Zhang Shisan, look like someone playing big names?

Well, I allow you to be late too.

This way there will be no embarrassment.

The corner of Ning Yuan's mouth twitched, but he didn't say anything.

Zhang Yu is the leading actor and also an investor. The whole production team revolves around him. If he wants to be late, the production team will follow suit. It doesn't seem to be a problem.

It's nothing more than a longer shooting cycle.

They don't lack that little time.

In this way, start work late, finish work late, keep improving, and keep trying.

One day's scenes were abruptly filmed for several days.

"Today, how about half a day off?"

Zhang Yu looked at Ning Yuan and asked with a smile.

The corner of Ning Yuan's mouth twitched, but he nodded helplessly when he saw Yang Ruoxue not far away.

Although he didn't understand, he was used to Zhang Yu's operation.

Resolutely do not work overtime.

He felt that he was not a film director, but a white-collar worker of a company.

"I didn't expect filming to be so boring." Yang Ruoxue said, "Before, I thought it was quite fun."

She came early and watched Zhang Yu and others shoot for a long time in the crew.

"What movie are you watching then!" Zhang Yu said with a smile, "Let's go, I'll show you around."

"You don't want to shoot anymore?" Yang Ruoxue said suspiciously.

"This movie is not in a hurry." Zhang Yu said, "It's a half-day vacation."

"You really are. It's not like you spend money like that!" Yang Ruoxue froze for a moment, then said, "Sister Hua heard that I'm coming to visit the class, why do you want me to persuade you?"

When Wang Mei heard about Zhang Yu's coquettish operations in the crew, she naturally needed to persuade her.

However, Zhang Yu didn't listen.

As for spending a lot of money, does Zhang Yu care?

It would be nice if he didn't invite the crew to eat delicacies from mountains and seas every day.

"It is said that Director Ning expects to finish filming this movie in more than a week, but you forced it to take more than half a month." Yang Ruoxue continued.

The short shooting time per day is only one of the reasons.

The real reason is Zhang Yu's "keep improving", and Ning Yuan's "continuously trying".

"It's inevitable that we paid more attention to the first film." Zhang Yu said, "It doesn't matter if the film makes money or not, but word of mouth must be good."

Yang Ruoxue didn't say anything more.

She knew that Zhang Yu was not the kind of person who spent money lavishly.

He got rich this time and earned hundreds of millions at once, but he really doesn't have the face of a nouveau riche.

Not to mention how economical it is, but it is definitely not extravagant and wasteful.

As for why this time?

Wang Mei was also worried that he would get rich suddenly, and his mentality was really out of balance.

That's why Yang Ruoxue persuaded her.

Yang Ruoxue obviously knew Zhang Yu better.

When Zhang Yu said that, he naturally believed it.

At least, he didn't think there was anything wrong with Zhang Yu's mentality.

After Yang Ruoxue left, Zhang Yu continued filming.

In the blink of an eye, the end of November.

At this time, the first season of "I am a singer-songwriter" ended, and the promotional momentum of "The Voice of Huaguo" gradually increased.

"Crack!"

"Look!" Ning Yuan said to Zhang Yu immediately.

This is the last play.

Everyone's eyes were also on Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu looked at it, then nodded.

"Then I announce that "Buried Alive" is finished!" Ning Yuan said.

It's finally over.

This shooting time is like riding a roller coaster.

Before, he thought that Zhang Yu's acting skills needed to be tempered, so he estimated the shooting time longer.

But who would have thought that Zhang Yu's acting skills are amazing.

That's probably the case for those powerful film kings.

So with such acting skills, Ning Yuan felt that he could finish filming this movie in a week.

But who would have thought that Zhang Yu would keep improving, and even encourage himself to keep trying.

Then, this film, which was expected to be finished in a week, took more than half a month to finish filming.

However, Ning Yuan has undoubtedly gained a lot in his continuous attempts.

And what about Zhang Yu?

He has god-level acting skills, but this is his first time acting.

He has certainly improved a lot.

The movie is done.

This is definitely a happy thing.

Cheers sounded.

"Let's have a big meal today!" Zhang Yu said with a smile.

Everyone was even happier when they heard it.

Although they had eaten very good food for the past half month, they still looked forward to the "big meal" that Zhang Yu talked about.

"I will get this movie out as soon as possible later." Ning Yuan said to Zhang Yu, "However, will you come up with the soundtrack, or will someone do it?"

Zhang Yu's musical talent is obvious to all.

However, there are specializations in the art industry.

Those who can write songs may not be able to add music to movies.

Just like those film soundtrack masters may not be able to write good songs.

What's more, Zhang Yu is very busy, so he may not be willing to score this movie.

"Let me do it!"

Zhang Yu thought for a while, then said.

The original film score also appears to have been nominated for a film award.

Of course, the original version may not be suitable, but it is a good reference. With Zhang Yu's current musical talent, he is really confident.

"That's good!" Ning Yuan said after thinking about it.

This movie is seriously over budget.

Leaving Zhang Yu and his salary aside, the cost of filming almost doubled.

Not counting the cost of publicity, the cost of filming and production of this film is probably over [-] million.

Of course, Zhang Yu's salary accounted for the bulk.

[-] million, not even [-] million or [-] million copies can't be returned.

With today's market potential, Ning Yuan feels a little Alexander!

This movie could have been a solid moneymaker.

But now.
Ugh!
Sure enough, nothing should be left to laymen.

This time is the lesson.

Zhang Yu is definitely a layman among laymen.

And it's a layman who can't listen to opinions.

Obstinate, downright paranoid.

"When do you plan to release this movie?" Ning Yuan then asked.

"Spring Festival stall!" Zhang Yu blurted out.

He had already thought about this matter.

"You're crazy!" Ning Yuan said excitedly when he heard it.

His voice was much louder, and the crew members who were packing up couldn't help but cast their gazes over.

However, soon they were busy again.

"There are so many blockbuster movies in the Spring Festival, our movie will only be reduced to cannon fodder." Ning Yuan said, "Aside from other things, the competition in the Spring Festival is so fierce, it is difficult to get more movies. If the shows are all in the late night, who will watch it? ? I’m afraid the painting will have to be released within two days of its release.”

When Zhang Yu heard it, his eyes lit up.

I just want this movie to be reduced to cannon fodder, otherwise why would I choose the Spring Festival file?

However, he thought about the fierce competition and the pitifully few film schedules, but he didn't think about the number of shows.

If it is shown in the late night file for two days, it will be drawn.

Goods that lose money!
it is good!
This is the best.

"What's more, our movie is a thriller and suspense movie." Ning Yuan continued, "This kind of movie is really unpopular in the atmosphere of the Spring Festival."

"You can take a look, among the low-budget movies that have become dark horses during the Spring Festival, which one is not a comedy?" Ning Yuan continued, "It's best not to choose a good schedule for our kind of movie. If you have to choose a good schedule , choosing the Christmas and New Year’s Day schedule is less risky than the Spring Festival schedule!”

All I want is risk.

"It's the Spring Festival!" Zhang Yu said, "I believe this movie can become a dark horse in the Spring Festival. If we counterattack those blockbusters, wouldn't we show our face even more."

"Where did you get the confidence to counterattack?" Ning Yuan was stunned, looked at Zhang Yu, and said, "Brother, I call you brother. Why are you making trouble with money? Why do I feel that you made this movie not to make money, but to make money?" Is it to make money?"

I go!

Comrade Ning, you can do it!
Did you see all this?

But will I admit it?
will not.

"Who invests in movies to lose money?" Zhang Yu said, "Lao Ning, director Ning, be more confident. Let us tell everyone: A good movie is not measured by the size of the investment."

Ning Yuan just said that, and naturally he would not believe that Zhang Yu invested in this movie to lose money.

Who would be so stupid!

But his various operations are really counterintuitive and confusing!
If "Buried Alive" breaks out in the Spring Festival, which is full of blockbuster movies, its influence will naturally far exceed other schedules.

If this movie is successful, then the role of the director and actors in the movie will be highlighted instantly.

The success of the film is not only due to the sharp increase in the value of the actor Zhang Yu, but also the director.

"A good movie is indeed not measured by the cost." Ning Yuan said, "But the cost of a movie is one of the factors that theaters consider when scheduling movies."

In addition to the distribution company's factors, the theater arranges the film, the film director, cast, film cost, etc. will also be considered.

Because these determine the market potential of this movie.

How can the film "Buried Alive" be compared with others?

There is only one actor, and it is the first time to make a movie.

The director is also not famous.

The movie said it was [-] million yuan, but anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the real cost of this movie was extremely low.

How do you let the film arrange the film for you!
Such a movie, no matter how good the word of mouth is, is likely to be lost to everyone.

It was released on the Spring Festival file, and it is estimated that there is only one ending.

That is to be submerged in those blockbuster films, without any waves being able to break through.

Perhaps, after it is released on the video website, the audience will say to you: Such a good movie, what a pity!

But what's the use of that!
"Let's produce it as soon as possible, and I will discuss with the company when it will be released." Zhang Yu said, "Maybe, it's not when we want to release it."

Ning Yuan nodded.

Indeed, their kind of movie really doesn't have much choice.

Ning Yuan said nothing more.

After the green banquet, Zhang Yu returned to Zhong Hai.

The next day, he invited Yuan Xiang and others to dinner.

"The second child will record "The Voice of China" in two days, and we are going to accompany him." Li Jie looked at Zhang Yu and asked, "Are you going?"

"It's going to be recorded so soon?" Zhang Yu hesitated for a moment, but then said dumbly, "If I go, won't I steal the limelight too much?"

The enthusiasm for his martial arts competition with Cui Zhengyang has faded, but his popularity is still astonishing.

"It seems to be the same." Li Jie nodded when he heard it, and said, "Perhaps, the second child will still have your brand on him. The label of Zhang Shisan's friend may be with him for the rest of his life."

"After the song "I'm Ugly But I'm Gentle" became popular, the second child has already been branded as Zhang Shisan." Feng Liang said, "However, if you go, you will not only steal the second child's limelight, but also It stole everyone's thunder."

"Isn't that just right?" Yuan Xiang said with a smile, "If I steal everyone's limelight, I'll get it too! As for the label of Zhang Shisan's friend, maybe it's a good thing for me."

"Aren't you afraid that the public will ignore your hard work and talent and give all the credit to the boss?" Feng Liang said, "Are you willing?"

"I planned to return to my hometown after graduation." Yuan Xiang said with a smile.

What he meant was obvious, if he really became famous, it would have been because of Zhang Yu, and there would be nothing wrong with giving the credit to him.

As for living under Zhang Yu's yin and yang?

Ha ha!

With Zhang Yu's monstrous talent, I am afraid that the entire Chinese music scene will be under his shadow.

So what is he not willing to do?

He didn't think about surpassing, so naturally he didn't care about being inferior to others.

However, people change.

It's just that now is obviously not the time to think about these things.

"I don't have anything to do these few days." Zhang Yu said with a smile, "Then I will support you when the time comes."

Is Zhang Yu okay?

Naturally.

After the movie was finished, it was natural to start preparing for the album.

However, there is no rush for the album.

A few days later, Xu Sen's movie will be on a variety show to promote it, and Zhang Yu will also participate and sing the movie's theme song in the show.
