The Entertainment Empire That Started With Divorce

Chapter 164 Long time no see Su Manjing

Sewing machine, jammed.

Then put some oil on it, there are always more solutions than difficulties, because it can be targeted and the plot is not prohibited and the radio and television have stopped it, so it is not a big deal.

Let’s look for the closing song. The guest rock bands don’t necessarily have to come, there can be as many as they want.

If you don’t want to come, don’t ask for it.

……

Saturday, February 4.

Fang Mo did not delay the start-up time of "Sewing Machine". Anyway, the ending plot will be at the end, and some rock band guest scenes will be in the middle and later stages.

In the early stage, we still filmed some scenes where the protagonist Cheng Gong and the Sewing Machine Band were formed, so there is no rush for the time being.

Ten days and a half were enough for Yu Hong to find out who was jamming the sewing machine and prescribe the right medicine.

"Oh yeah, Director Fang has started filming."

"Well, although the name is a bit awkward, the synopsis of the plot is about dreams. I think it will turn out well in the end. I look forward to it. I support it."

"Everyone still believes in Director Fang's ability, but the script is not original by Director Fang..."

"What's the point? Whether it's original or not depends on the director's skill. Besides, Director Fang has also filmed and adapted it. I believe there will be no problem. It will definitely look good."

"Yes, with a detailed script, ten directors can produce ten versions. It depends on their ability."

"Hurry up and shoot, I will support it when it is released!"

"Must see! Director Fang, come on..."

The start-up scene is naturally more lively than on the Internet, and it will be spectacular with the big guitar in the background. Shimen officials are also promoting it to pave the way for future check-ins.

Naturally, the media rushed to visit. Director Fang Mo is a topic in his own right and is guaranteed to be a box office hit.

Even though he has not yet reached the No. 1 position in the industry, he is still among the top five, very high.

Although I haven't won any international awards, it doesn't affect it at all. The Chinese market is getting bigger and bigger year by year. Is making a movie just for fun and fun? It's all about making money. If you don't make money, who will make it?

Therefore, these days, whether it is a box office hit or not has become a very important data for a director. No matter how high the reputation is, it is useless if it does not make money and does not contribute to charity.

"Director Fang, this time Sewing Machine Band is a movie about music dreams. I believe it will be shot well under your guidance. But I want to ask for the fans, can the box office still exceed 10 billion?"

"Director Fang, Jiang Bo, Xu Hao and other actors who have worked with us before did not appear this time. Is there a conflict or is the other party's schedule so busy that they really have no time?"

"Director Fang, thank you for your contribution to Shimen's future check-in attractions. The big guitar is spectacular."

"Director Fang, what is the shooting cycle?"

During the opening ceremony, I was asked a lot of questions.

Some are normal questions, but some are also barbed, but Fang Mo doesn't need to be angry. He can answer those who can answer, and ignores those who can't. As for the box office, we will know after the release.

Even if it's just a guess, don't say anything.

I won't say anything, too lazy to make any predictions.

……

"The 478th game, the 1st time, starts..."

In the afternoon, the Sewing Machine Band started filming their first scene. The band was recruiting talents and conducting interviews.

"Oh, it's so crowded, how long will it take for the interview..." Cheng Gong sighed, looking at the three heads in front of a pile of seats, calm and speechless.

"This, this, this, this address is printed correctly..." Hu Liang held up the recruitment poster and wondered, embarrassed.

"Come on, let's get started."

"Tell me about your dreams"

Cheng Gong sat down and interrupted his random dream, "Let me introduce myself first."

: Ding Jianguo, bassist.

Cheng Gong paused when he was registering his name, and raised his head, he didn't hear clearly, "I'm sorry, Ding..."

: Jianguo, bassist.

"The name sounds pretty good." Cheng Gong looked at Hu Liang and there was no mistake, the beauty's name was Jianguo.

: Dynamite, the drummer.

"This name is louder." Cheng Gong coughed.

: Gao Hongjie, tractor driver.

"I'm here to repair the car..."

"Get lost." Hu Liang was angry.

Cheng Gong was indifferent and continued the interview, "We are not affected by off-site factors. Miss Ding, why do you want to join our band?"

: I'm lovelorn, and I want to relieve my boredom.

"That's the reason, and it's quite sufficient." Cheng Gong and Hu Liang were completely speechless, "Your legs..."

Ding Jianguo, whose legs are always wrapped with straps: "It's long, white and thin, come and touch it?"

Cheng Gong swallowed and decided to wait for another day.

Although most of the above dialogues are deliberately funny, they are indeed very funny. Comedy is the most popular blockbuster genre nowadays. Dreams are not boring and tasteless. It is good to add some comedy scenes and make them funny.

But to be honest, Xue Yushan's long legs are really tall. Although she has applied whitening powder, the slender and powerful feeling made the crew swallow their saliva. They are too tall.

Xiong Bin swallowed his saliva, okay, Fang Mo also swallowed a little, but he didn't show it during the rehearsal.

After all, it wasn't so white back then.

I saw it today, wow.

Of course, Yanni had no idea. Yu Hong's niece was an acquaintance and a friend, so she was not tempted to transform into a wolf. Moreover, she had a beautiful wife at home, and the temperament of the CEO Qin Zisu was overwhelming.

"Mr. Zhao..." Cheng Gong continued to ask.

Dynamite shook his legs: No, I’m from Taiwan. I want to make a living by relying on my craftsmanship.

"it is good."

Cheng Gong concluded, "Well, after careful consideration by the organizing committee, with the current conditions of the two of you, it can be said that they meet our requirements very well. We congratulate you on joining our band."

"Tomorrow night at seven o'clock."

"Rehearse here on time."

After saying that, Cheng Gong stood up, but Hu Liang was confused. Who are these two people? One is disabled and the other is unreliable. 10 yuan is such a big deal.

"Crack, pass."

Xiong Bin shouted, and the scene ended.

Well, despite the fact that the plot lasted only a few minutes and a few paragraphs, it took me an entire afternoon to film it, so it was okay.

With Fang Mo's guidance, the speed is not slow anymore.

……

In this way, the filming of the Sewing Machine Band began, with interior and exterior scenes, etc., arranged according to the scenes, weather, and the actors' schedules.The Starry Sky director team is one of its own, so the shooting runs very smoothly, and the other teams just need to cooperate.

Yu Hong comes to the crew every two or three days, and the rest is busy outside. Perhaps if the previous project had not been blocked, or his niece was not on the crew, he probably would not have come so frequently. After all, Fang Mo is directing, so there is peace of mind. , simply to look at the progress.

At the same time, the basic behind-the-scenes of the previous blockage also surfaced, and several opponents joined forces.

Some of them did not get involved in this movie project to make money, and some of them wanted to block a big movie due to be released during the National Day period, and they were not just bullying.

There were even some opponents who had been offended by Hongtu and took their anger out on Fang Mo.

After all, if it weren't for Fang Mo's three consecutive movies that were huge hits, his ambitions wouldn't be so big.

The strength and market value are both inflated.

Compared with before Crazy Stone, Hongtu's market value has increased by more than 30 billion, and it has also hired several famous artists, management, etc.

Junhong's search for Tianrui's few artists was just a small wave, and they gradually made no splash except in the Hangzhou circle.

Yu Hong has a way to deal with this.

Needless to say, there is competition in the industry. Who doesn’t have a few allies? There is no airtight wall in the world. As long as you do something, you may be discovered by the outside world. This time, you can find out the target behind the scenes, and it is also provided by your allies.

Like sanctions, and counter-sanctions.

It's useless to say anything, whether it's tit-for-tat or talking to an intermediary, Fang Mo doesn't care. Just film in Shimen with peace of mind and don't care about anything else.

He is just a movie maker. He doesn't want to participate in the intrigues and intrigues in the industry. It's boring.

Making money is to make your life better and more comfortable, not to make enemies and make yourself uncomfortable.

Otherwise, the current fourth film would not have chosen to change the script, and would have chosen to abandon the ambition of continuing to grow and look for Yu Hong. It would be right to cooperate with other people in the industry to make more friends and accumulate more favors.

Even if there is one white-eyed wolf out of ten, you have to pay. You can’t stop because you were afraid of wolves and tigers. If you want to get easier in the future, you have to work harder now. It’s okay to shoot three movies in two years, and two movies a year are actually okay. Can be busy, but not necessary, in moderation.

The industry must be given a chance to breathe. Fang Mo had imagined that he might be the least ambitious of the time-travel protagonists. He was blinded in vain and was chosen by God to live another life. Well, whatever, just be happy.

Whether it is worth tens of billions or trillions, it is financial freedom, not being troubled by material life, having a job and family and not being bored is enough, no amount of it is useless.

……

"The shooting went well."

Fang Mo nodded. In the video, Qin Zisu was leaning on the bedside, and his lazy look was very heart-warming. Unfortunately, he had to be in Shimen recently and could not return to Hangzhou to taste it for the time being.

"It went well."

Fang Mo breathed a sigh of relief, "Actually, compared to crazy racing, the difficulty of shooting is somewhat lower, but the whole film takes about two hours, which is 30 minutes longer than racing. There are also some scenes, and the shooting period is about two and a half months. Not slow, but not fast either.”

"show off."

Qin Zisu curled his lips, "Don't be ridiculous. The preparation period for a movie does not count. If it can be shot in more than two months, it is not slow. Let's talk about a shoddy film that can be shot in a month. Be careful." Lightning."

Fang Mohan, that’s what he said.

You must know that in the 90s, Hong Kong and River made a lot of movies in ten and a half months from project establishment to writing scripts while shooting, to filming and completion, and the key point is that they are all quite good.

A movie shot in ten days and a half is better than a movie made in ten months 20 years later.

The box office revenue in the 90s and [-]s was tens of millions, which is equivalent to more than one billion now, and it is even more powerful.

Although it looks a bit shoddy from today's perspective, especially some scenes that are not good, the plot is good, the acting is online, and the appearance is different.

Gangjiang beauties, male stars and so on.

It was an era when a hundred flowers bloomed, but unfortunately it eventually declined. The market was too small. If it could be merged and integrated with the whole of China, it could become an international company.

What's even more pity is that not many Huaxia movies have gone international these days, and they play by themselves.

There are too many people, and there is a lot of money to be made from box office hits. It is easier to make money from TV variety shows, and there are no producers or directors who want to make good movies. Especially some famous directors, the more they make, the worse they make, and they are unwatchable.

"Tell you something..."

After talking for a while, Qin Zisu suddenly said, "When Qingming paid homage to your parents for you, I was a little touched by the portraits of the old couple. I want to explain the marriage first. How about the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival?"

Fang Mo was startled, "Okay."

There is nothing to hesitate about getting married. Anyway, the two of them are not short of the certificate. They can do whatever they want if they are alone. As long as Qin Zisu is willing, the Mu family can do it anytime if there is no problem. The filming will be completed in two and a half months, and we can discuss it in detail later when we return to Hangzhou. , not in a hurry.

As for the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival, although Sewing Machine should be on-demand or released at that time, as a director, he is used to running away, so he doesn't need to worry about it. With Xiong Bin leading the team, he is very familiar with it, so he is no different.

"Okay, nothing else."

Qin Zisu yawned. Fang Mo's reply had been expected, and he had no opinion on the marriage. Now that the two of them have communicated, let's make arrangements in advance.

As for grandpa stopping him again?
I’m tired of not compromising this time.

……

Shimen, one of the rock gathering places.

The filming of Fang Mo's new drama 'Sewing Machine Band' here is not a small topic. It has attracted attention both locally and on the Internet. However, there are various gossip or events in the entertainment industry every day, as well as some current events across the country, so pay attention In fact, it is also limited.

Fang Mo filmed honestly, filming according to the roles and actors' schedules, and was methodical and comfortable.

However, there is a music festival in Shimen from mid-April to May Day. Although the scale is not large, there are still some music lovers who come and go, so there are many people who come to the nearby suburbs to take pictures at the "Sewing Machine". As long as you don't It doesn't matter if it affects the shooting.

But what Fang Mo didn't expect was that he would see Su Manjing again after so long that he couldn't remember.

Su Manjing has released an album before. This time she came to participate in the Shimen Music Festival. Her status and reputation are comparable. Real big singers rarely participate in some small music festivals. Su Manjing's current achievements in music can only be compared to others. Playing at a small music festival.

After all, down there are some music activities and commercial performances in urban and rural areas. Su Manjing has not yet reached the time to make money, and is in the stage of moving up.

This day the filming was over and we went back to the hotel.

In the lobby, Fang Mo saw Su Manjing, whom he hadn't seen for a long time. Even if Su Manjing had changed her name and wore a mask, she could still recognize her, because this girl was waiting for him at the elevator entrance, and she only spoke after entering the elevator.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

"Uh, huh..."

Fang Mo was speechless. There was nothing to say. No matter how bad Shimen was, it was still the capital of Hebei Province. There were still some star-rated hotels in the city. Why did Su Manjing stay in the Sewing Machine Band Hotel? She was so busy.

Although the location of the Shimen Music Festival this time is not far from the filming crew, after all, the big guitar is to add check-in attractions and musical symbols in the future.

When we first chose the location to build the big guitar, we also took into consideration the fact that music festivals are often held nearby.

Unexpectedly, it was unlucky to meet his ex-wife.

Haven't seen each other for almost a year.

"Still resentful?"

The eyes on Su Manjing's mask flickered slightly, "How can a grown man be so petty? Has he done any real harm to you? He has been holding a grudge for almost two years."

"I can't make it through, can I?"

Fang Mo still didn't reply, it's a shame that the floor where he lives is a bit high, it's annoying to death, it's really bad luck.

"I still can't let go..."

Su Manjing changed the topic, "Really letting go is not a stranger, but just as natural as an ordinary friend. Even if we don't meet, we can still talk when we meet, tsk tsk tsk."

"Fang Mo, do you miss me?"
