Chapter 119 The Starting Point of Guo Fan's Director's Journey
In a cemetery, Ajie and Ahao completed their meeting.

Ajie applauded: "I admire you very much."

"Why?" Ah Hao asked back.

"You are finally willing to kill. This is the price of great magic, adventure and sacrifice." Ajie's tone was full of sarcasm, and he looked at the limping Ahao who was walking towards him.

Ahao became lame because of Ajie.

"Don't give me what I want, only you will be sacrificed." Ahao and Ajie faced each other, threatening.

"What do you want?"

"Your secret."

"My secret?"

Ah Hao said clearly: "The secret of your shape-shifting, people say it's a magic spell, but I know it's not.

That prop master of yours, Armer, won't talk, in fact he can't talk at all. "

"You've got my notes, you can read them yourself," Ajie said.

"But without the key words, you can't decipher it without the key words." Ahao said, taking out a pen and paper from his pocket: "Write down your technique, and write it in detail."

In the rain, the two looked at each other for a few seconds, and then Ajie wrote down the keywords.

"I want your technique, not keywords, maybe your technique is not recorded in your notes at all." Ahao said.

"The key word is my method." Ajie finished writing, and asked before handing it to Ahao: "Where is my prop master?"

Ah Hao gestured to the land with a shovel on the side, and limped away with a note.

"Is he still alive?"

"That depends on how much you can dig."

Ajie hurriedly took the shovel to dig the soil: "Amo, can you hear me? Amo..."

"Okay, not bad, this one is over, let's change the scene." Zhang Hao shouted through the loudspeaker very satisfied.

The crew hurriedly packed up the set props, and the sprinkler that simulated the rain also stopped, and hurried to the next scene.

"Hurry up, change the clothes for the actor, and give him the blanket." Zhang Hao shouted.

The costume team quickly took off the costumes of Deng Chao and Huang Xiaoming, and sent them towels and blankets to wipe their rain-drenched hair and faces.

Although it's not too cold yet, it's already the beginning of November after all, and Zhang Hao doesn't want the actors to catch a cold because of a scene, which will delay the filming progress of the crew.

The finishing work was cleaned up by the crew of the scene management team, and Zhang Hao got in the nanny car and rushed to the next set first.

Guo Fan led Group B to Hengdian to shoot some unimportant shots, and was already on his way back to Shanghai.

After finishing the last shot in the afternoon, Zhang Hao announced the end of the day's work.

Guo Fan also brought back his successful filming in Hengdian, and together with Zhang Hao checked the content of his filming in an editing room of Tang Ren.

"Well, the effect is good, Lao Guo, your level is quite good." Zhang Hao was very satisfied after watching the finished shots.

Guo Fan said modestly: "I learned this from you, the director. Without you giving me these opportunities, how could I improve so fast."

"You can't say that. If you are given a chance, you must grasp it." Zhang Hao patted Guo Fan on the shoulder, and went to the resting place outside the editing room to sit down and chat.

"Old Guo, you've done a good job recently. I think it's time to exercise. Have you thought about directing a film independently?" Zhang Hao asked Guo Fan's opinion.

Guo Fan's heart moved: "What do you mean?"

"Yes, after this project is over, the studio plans to invest in the production of a medium-budget horror film. You will be the director, and I will supervise the production for you." Zhang Hao said.

Guo Fan's face showed joy. When he first entered the industry, didn't he mean to become a real director one day.Now that I have this opportunity, I naturally have to seize it, but...

"May I know what type of project it is?" Guo Fan asked.

"I have already planned the outline of the script," Zhang Hao took out a script outline from his briefcase and handed it to Guo Fan: "Take it back and read it, fill in the details of the script, and make a detailed plan along the way, as well as the shot Give me the concept design drawing."

Guo Fan took the script outline as if he had found a treasure, and saw two words written on it: "Shark Beach".

"I've already found the heroine for you. It's Da Mimi. You have to seize the opportunity. Remember, this circle and the newcomer circle cannot tolerate one failure. If you fail, it will be too difficult to have another chance."

Although Zhang Hao is younger than Guo Fan, Zhang Hao reminded Guo Fan with the words of his senior, but Guo Fan didn't think there was anything wrong.

Guo Fan clenched the script in his hand, and secretly made up his mind to do a good job in this project, so as not to disappoint Zhang Hao.

On the following day of filming, Guo Fan was busy with the work of the crew during the day, and used his free time at night to perfect the script and design the manuscript of the shot.

In this way, the daily work accumulates, and the breaks do not even exceed four hours.Over time, Guo Fan had dark circles under his eyes, and it was too late to fix his beard.

To take this first step, the necessary price must be paid.

Guo Fan is not a director who can direct super blockbuster movies from the beginning, and he needs to be trained step by step.

Fortunately, the starting point is good now. If there are no accidents, Guo Fan will be able to direct a film for the first time next year.If successful, the road ahead will go quite smoothly.

In mid-November, "Fatal Magic" ended filming at Chedun Film and Television Base, and the two leading actors Xu Qing and Yu Feihong also successfully completed their filming from the crew.

Working with Zhang Hao for the second time, the feelings of the two sisters are still very obvious.

Compared with the bumps and bumps of directing "Manslaughter" for the first time, Zhang Hao seemed to be able to do a job with ease when directing "The Prestige" this time, and the shooting went quite smoothly.

The two sisters thought it was Zhang Hao's progress, but Zhang Hao thought it was the progress of the team.

A good director cannot do without the tacit cooperation of behind-the-scenes staff, from scene props, to art design, to the artistic style of costume and make-up, to photography, production, lighting and other departments.

Without a team that cooperates tacitly, even if it is a director like Spielberg, it will take a long time to integrate the crew.

With the tacit cooperation of the team and the wonderful performance of the actors, the shooting process went very smoothly."Fatal Magic", which was originally expected to be completed in January next year, is estimated to be completed by the end of the year.

However, because there are some visual effects shots in the film, it takes a period of post-processing.

Although the main work is done by Korean special effects companies, Tiangong Yicai Studio under Zhang Hao is also responsible for many parts.

Insufficient technology and experience, so in addition to spending money, it is time to polish.

Because of the excellent performance of the previous OPPO commercials, Tiangong Yicai Studio has received a lot of work for film and television dramas, which is a start anyway.

But the studio is still unable to make ends meet, there is no profit return, and Zhang Hao needs to pay for it.

Since the acquisition of the studio in July, although the contract stated that Zhang Hao invested no less than 100 million in technology research and development every year.

But in the special effects industry, 100 million yuan may not even see a splash.

In the second half of the year, Zhang Hao has invested more than 1000 million in Tiangong Yicai Studio.If it hadn't been for the quick money made by spinach before, Zhang Hao might not be able to hold on.

Gong Jun, the person in charge of the studio, probably didn't expect Zhang Hao to be so willing to spend money, so moved, he took the initiative to bring all the backbone of the studio to work overtime every day to upgrade the software he developed.

Voluntary overtime without pay.

But if the project is completed, there will be a large bonus, so basically no complaints.

The grand plan in Zhang Hao's heart has not been mentioned to anyone, but he is still very happy to see the progress of Tiangong Yicai Studio, an important part of the plan.
