Chapter 21 Small Budget Movies

At six o'clock in the evening, Zhang Rilong, who had already showered and put on clean clothes, came to Rujianmeng Clubhouse.

After telling the person he was looking for, Zhang Rilong was taken outside a private room.

The waiter had already asked the owner of the private room in advance, and only let Zhang Rilong in after getting permission.

The moment he opened the door, Zhang Rilong smelled the smell of cosmetics, and thought of the smell others said he had.

There may be some things that the parties themselves really don't realize.

"Welcome, welcome! Teacher Zhang, please sit down."

Zhu Wenji, who was sitting facing the door, didn't get up, but just greeted with a smile.

"This is Mr. Zhang, the script. Mr. Zhang, let me introduce you. I am the director, and this handsome uncle is the producer Huang Luzheng."

"Hello, I'm Zhang Rilong, sixteen years old." Zhang Rilong greeted the director and producer politely.

The two also greeted Zhang Rilong with a nod. There was no animosity or unhappiness between the two parties, and they had to smile if they could eat together.

"Ms. Zhang is young, promising, and talented. These beautiful sisters are the leading roles this time. This is Nie Xiaoqian, Liu Qing, and Montenegro old demon Bai Ruirui, do you think it suits you?"

There were also five beauties sitting near the dining table, and two men who didn't need names. They seemed to be employees of the crew or the company.

Zhang Rilong has no say in the script and doesn't want to meddle in other people's business.

Zhang Rilong sat in a position separated from the two men in charge by two beauties, and said calmly after sitting down:

"It's suitable. I heard that the money has already been given. If the script is not suitable, the script should be changed. If the character design is not suitable, then the character should be designed. Whatever suits you, do it."

Huang Luzheng smiled, "Mr. Zhang, what are you talking about? Are you dissatisfied with the script change?"

"No, no, I have to do things when I receive money. When the editor asked me how to sell "A Chinese Ghost Story", I just chose the one with the most money. I didn't have any other ideas. I listened to the boss."

Zhang Rilong didn't care about anything else, as long as he gave the money.

Whoever has money is the uncle, and it's okay to accommodate the employer.

Liu Qing is a beautiful woman in her twenties, and Bai Ruirui is an aunt who looks to be in her thirties.

Beside her, there is also an actress who is also pretty and has carefully made up.

They didn't put on makeup for Zhang Rilong to see, and Zhang Rilong didn't care who it was for.

Zhang Rilong doesn't have any unrealistic ideas about female stars, such as photoshoots, and Zhang Rilong has already known who pure actresses are.

Zhu Wenji said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Zhang. In addition to the cost of the script, he will give Mr. Zhang a red envelope after it is released this month. A bonus will definitely be indispensable!"

Zhang Rilong looked at Zhu Wenji strangely, "There are only a few days in this month, how many days can we finish the filming?"

"Haha, the filming can be finished in two days, and the rest depends on Boss Huang's speed." Zhu Wenji raised his glass and touched Huang Luzheng not far away.

The woman between Huang Luzheng and Zhu Wenji quickly stepped back, not daring to get in the way.

After taking a sip, Huang Luzheng put down his glass and said, "The shooting is fast now, and the computer special effects are very mature. From the background of the scene to the lighting and clothing, you can directly produce templates on the computer."

Bai Rurui, a middle-aged woman who was going to play the old demon of Montenegro, said: "Yeah, a film in two days is still too slow, and it can be made in as soon as one afternoon, but if you want to release it, whether it can be popular or not depends on the publicity." , the bulk of the investment is in publicity.”

Zhang Rilong gradually lost the right to speak, and several star directors put him aside after chatting about the movie for a while, and then chatted about their personal affairs.

He didn't care, he ate quietly, now was the time when he needed food to restore his strength.

In this era, making movies and doing shows is simplified. You don’t even need to memorize lines or do martial arts moves.

As long as the computer captures a few movements and postures, I will simulate various movements on the computer.

More real than a real person!
No need for dubbing, no need to worry about explosion effects and various special effects, no need for lighting engineers and photographers, everything is much simplified.

After everyone ate for half an hour, producer Huang Lvzheng looked at Zhang Rilong who was still eating.

"Mr. Zhang, the story of this script is too short, and there are not enough characters. You can add a few more characters."

"Okay, then I'll add it now. After the design is finished, you can see if it suits you." Zhang Rilong took out his mobile phone. He wrote a novel, but he has seen a movie.

It’s okay to add a few more characters. If it’s a movie, the original text is indeed a bit shorter.

"How long will it take?" Director Zhu Wenji said with a smile: "The people in your company told me that you are still a student and told you to leave at seven o'clock."

"A few minutes will do."

Zhang Rilong replied, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and quickly wrote a few short character designs.

Xiahou Swordsman, Xiaoqing, Corrupt Official, Master, Stone Demon, Ning Mu.

There is only a short one-sentence introduction for each character, and at the same time, the plot is expanded according to the layout of the movie, and the general context is explained.

Director Zhu Wenji looked at the introduction of less than [-] words, nodded and said, "Okay, just follow this."

Producer Huang Lvzheng looked at it seriously, and quickly said: "Add a few more female characters, you have too many male characters and not many female characters."

Although it was the uncle who gave the money, Zhang Rilong didn't want to change it anymore. His current changes are all based on what he remembers. If the changes are too big, he will be confused.

"Because it's "A Chinese Ghost Story", the heroine is the heroine, and if there are more female characters, it's the last thing. In this script, the hero and heroine should shine. Even the hero can be a supporting role. The only protagonist is Nie Xiaoqian."

Seeing that this high school student still cared about the script like other screenwriters, director Zhu Wenji said, "It's easy to say, this time is a low-budget movie, and the script itself is not very famous, so it doesn't matter."

"Boss Huang, we're just playing for fun this time. Besides, no one is asking us for a role now. The reputation of ancient costume movies has long been ruined."

Huang Luzheng habitually keeps a few roles, not really wanted.

They are somewhat famous directors, not well-known directors. They belong to the kind of directors and producers who can be called a director and producer in a small circle, but no one knows them outside the circle.

Even if you are a member of the circle, you will not be able to remember who it is until you show your work.

"Let's add a few more. If someone likes it when it's being reviewed, it's good to invite. Nowadays, many women just like to make guest appearances in TV shows and movies, regardless of whether it's appropriate or not."

Huang Lvzheng still insisted on his idea.

Zhang Rilong said: "Okay, then add it, but I don't care about the future."

The two bosses didn't care. They planned to shoot A Chinese Ghost Story mainly to increase the number of works, and they didn't really take it seriously.

For them, this Chinese Ghost Story is a low-budget movie, so it doesn't matter if it hits the street.

Soon the two bosses didn't care about Zhang Rilong anymore, and Zhang Rilong didn't care about the chats between men and women, he just concentrated on eating.

Eating and eating, there is a problem with eating!
