The King of Directors 2000

Chapter 28 Finished
At 09:30 local time in Las Vegas, the starry sky is full of stars and the city is brightly lit.

Inside an old-fashioned helicopter, the male number two played by Zhao Yang is overlooking the entire casino.

The partner talked about the purpose of this trip to Las Vegas, with a worried look on his face. They will go to a local prison to meet a big man in the financial circle. Very terrifying strength.

The male number two curled his lips and didn't care, "No one can refuse me, I never only do what I can win."

In the opening paragraph, the domineering and confident characteristics of the male number two are perfectly displayed.

Soon after the plane landed, Zhao Yang and Liu Sheng got out of the plane excitedly.

"Director, everything is going well."

Li Shengyao and Yan Danchen were waiting for them at the small airport, and they were all relieved to hear that.

Because of limited funds, Li Shengyao only brought Zhao Yang, Yan Danchen, and the extras who played the second male partner, as well as Li Sanfa and Liu Sheng to Las Vegas.

The helicopter just rented is used by the casino to attract tourists, and it costs a thousand dollars an hour.

In addition, they also rented an extended version of the luxury car, which was used to pretend to be the second male lead.

The scene of the extended version of the luxury car has already been filmed.

All that's left is the helicopter ride at the end.

Li Shengyao hoped to complete it smoothly in one go. Fortunately, he was lucky, Zhao Yang played steadily, and Liu Sheng worked hard.

"Good, good, good."

The filming is finally finished, and the next step is to go back to China to edit it, and then sell it to a TV station.

Generally, TV dramas will shoot a lot of redundant shots. When editing, the director and the editor need to discuss carefully and repeatedly. After research, those clips that are left behind have better picture effects and can better guide the audience's emotions.

But Lee Sung Yew's play doesn't need to be like this, because he shot it completely based on the plot of the original release.

There wasn't any extra footage. In fact, even if he didn't watch it, the editor spliced ​​it together roll by roll according to the data on the tape, and it wouldn't be too bad.

Other TV drama clips may take half a month, or even a month.

But Li Shengyao is confident that it will be done in three days.

In order not to waste time, he planned to edit it first, and then find actors to dub it, and at the same time solve the problem of the ending theme song of the soundtrack.

He doesn't understand music theory, and if it's other popular Korean dramas, he can't sing the theme song, but "Love Hotel" and "Dae Jang Geum" are the only two exceptions.

He graduated from high school in his previous life, and watched "Love Hotel" with a girl for a summer vacation. He was deeply impressed by the theme song and ending song of this show.

I don't know how to sing, but I can hum it, and I just need to find someone to fill in the lyrics and music.

As for the theme song of "Dae Jang Geum", Hulala, Hulala, this song should be known to many people.

"Zhao Yang, Liu Sheng, do you want to go to the casino to play? I'll treat you, and I'll give you... a hundred knives."

Zhao Yang and Liu Sheng looked at each other, thinking that Li Shengyao was stingy, what would a hundred knives be enough for?

In order to experience the casino in Las Vegas, Li Sanfa specially prepared a thousand dollars.

"Director, I'm not going."

"Okay, let's go to have a barbecue, it's a small wrap-up feast."

Of course there are barbecue stalls in Las Vegas, and wherever there are Chinese people, there are barbecue stalls.

Li Shengyao, Liu Sheng, Zhao Yang, Yan Danchen, and the group performer then came to a Chinese-owned restaurant, ordered some barbecue and beer, and then sat at the door, watching the passing luxury cars, eating barbecue and drinking beer.

Li Shengyao still replaced wine with tea. Just for a moment, he thought about whether he should take advantage of today to be happy, relax and drink some wine.

But he then refused, he is not a drinker, he can't really drink that kind of wine, in his opinion, all beers are similar.

As for red wine and white wine, he drank less, red wine was stomped on, and white wine was too spicy.

Zhao Yang and Liu Sheng then toasted Li Shengyao with a few glasses of wine, and then the big guys drank their own, mainly eating.

"Director, why don't you play a few games?"

How many times do you play?
Li Shengyao glanced at Yan Danchen, the beauty is by his side, do you want to play a few more games?

He then realized that what they were talking about was gambling, "I'm not interested. Gambling is about luck. I don't like doing things that are uncertain. I just do things that I'm sure of."

Hearing this, Liu Sheng felt a little emotional.

When they were in the film school, they would often gossip, saying that the star was a gambler, that star was lustful, and that star was addicted to opium.

Liu Sheng has heard a lot, and he feels that the circle is like this, very messy and dirty.

The crew where he was cheated of his salary before was very chaotic. Several people from the director, assistant director and screenwriter had slept with the lead actress, which made him dumbfounded.

He didn't understand that these cousins ​​met, wouldn't it be embarrassing?

Li Shengyao was so young, tall and handsome, he was still worried that Li Shengyao was a joker, and the crew would be in chaos.

But the fact is not true. Although Lee Shengyao is a director, he just stays in his room writing scripts after work, or plays with actors, and never goes out for a stroll.

In fact, as Li Shengyao, after work, he went to the night club and bar for a walk, and promised to give a small role, and he would definitely be the groom every night.

But others did not.

Not to mention Lee Seung Yew's directing ability.

Although young, he is much stronger than the old man in Liu Sheng's previous crew.

Liu Sheng felt that Li Shengyao was the kind of person who could do good deeds and make good dramas. He heard that Guo Xiaodong and Zhao Yang had promised to join the film and television company that Li Shengyao would form in the future, so he thought he should think about it.

At this time in Las Vegas, you can go to the casino to play.

You can also find street girls. Women here are cheap, and you can buy foreign guns for fifty dollars.

You can even smoke a big cigarette and experience the feeling of a skeleton warrior.

Liu Sheng felt that if he was as rich as Li Shengyao, he would definitely find a few beautiful women to compete in martial arts.

But Li Shengyao didn't do that, he still filmed the drama honestly, and then went back to his room to write the script.

This is a director who can do great things.

He is now convinced.

"Director, I want to sign with your company, take me with you in the next play."

He was a little nervous, not sure if Li Shengyao would agree.

"Okay, work hard, you will definitely live a good life in the future, it is no problem to buy a house in Yanjing Shanghai City."

"it is good."

Liu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Shengyao thought for a while, and then said: "The filming of "The Funny Family" doesn't have too many requirements, it just depends on the plot requirements."

"My third drama is going to be filmed in a snowy place in the northeast. I need to have a sad and beautiful artistic conception. You sometimes think about it."

Liu Sheng was naturally happy, which meant that Li Shengyao reused him, "Yes, director, I will."

Li Shengyao patted Liu Sheng on the shoulder, "Anyone in your class who has a good personality, strong ability, and is willing to do things can also be introduced to me. In the future, I will not only film myself, but also arrange other people to film dramas. I need more Many talents."

"Funny Family" can shoot 140 episodes. If it can be sold to Wanwan, it will be 400 million, and there will be more than 800 million after tax deduction.

Lee Shengyao will not be short of money when the time comes, he will expand his team and shoot more film and television dramas.

Actors, directors, photographers, lighting engineers, makeup artists, as long as they are talents are needed.
