The Entertainment Empire That Started With Divorce

Chapter 183 Shooting Progress
Charlotte, annoyed, started filming.

Originally, "Sewing Machine Band", which was semi-directed by Fang Mo, occupied a National Day slot. Now another movie has started shooting and will be completed soon. Fang Mo's speed is always fast, and it will definitely be a follow-up Spring Festival slot.

This is fucked up, I feel so uncomfortable that I want to cry.

……

"Tell me, which schedule will it be?"

An emergency meeting was held in the production department of a company in Kyoto. They had a movie to be released during the Spring Festival. This time Fang Mo inserted it, which was a little bit annoying. Do you want to change it?
"I suggest that it be released on National Day."

The deputy general manager didn't say anything, but the deputy director of the production department started to analyze, "The National Day and Spring Festival schedules are the time when blockbuster movies are released together! Since there are movies directed by Fang Mo in both schedules, there are also strong and weak ones..."

"'Sewing Machine Band' was not originally written by Fang Mo after all, and he only directed half of it."

"On the contrary, the two leading actors of 'Charlotte' are once A-list entertainers, and now they have some box office appeal. Moreover, Fang Mo directed the entire film himself. In comparison, the Spring Festival release is more difficult."

"My opinion is that it will be released on National Day."

There is some truth in this statement, but...

"Having said that, we think this way, and other blockbusters that are about to be released will also think the same way. If they all think about staggering the Spring Festival period and switching to the National Day period, it doesn't matter whether there are Fang Mo's movies. How to choose?"

"So, my suggestion is to discuss with several other companies that have blockbusters to release, which Spring Festival slots, which National Day slots, and allocate them reasonably..."

After hearing this, most of the people at the round table agreed, and the deputy general manager also nodded secretly.

Instead of just discussing it alone, it's better for everyone in the industry to sit together and discuss it. Anyway, there are Fang Mo's movies in the National Day and Spring Festival movies, so it doesn't matter which one you choose.

It's just that one of the two persimmons is hard and the other is soft; however, it is better to be released during the National Day period.

"Charlotte's Trouble" is a bad name no matter how bad it is. Fang Mo's original screenwriting and directing are also very good.

Moreover, the starring roles of Sewing Machine are all small-time celebrities, and the latter has been famous for a while, so it is not guaranteed to be released ahead of the National Day schedule.

This special effects blockbuster, which we are the main sponsor of, strives to be the fourth domestically produced film with a box office of over 10 billion.

If it weren't for the summer release next month and there was no time to adjust, they would have avoided Fang Mo's two movies, which would have affected their company's plan to break through 10 billion.

Fang Mo, a beast like him, can only get a National Day sewing machine, so why would he need another one?

Forget it, complaining is useless, just move the schedule.

It was such a happy and painful decision.

……

In the simple ward, Charlotte opened her eyes dimly and murmured about her wife and dreaming about her mother.

Suddenly, a hand touched Charlotte's head, "Silly son, who do you call your wife..."

Charlotte's eyes suddenly widened, 'Mom? '

Charlotte's mother was surprised, 'You scared your mother to death, can't you believe you are still alive...'

'I can't believe you're still alive...'

'What year is it now...'

'Is the current president of country M...'

~~~

"OK, pass..."

After the launch conference, the first scene shot by the crew of Charlotte Worry was the scene of Charlotte jumping off the building and waking up in the hospital. Multiple shots were taken.

The reason is that more than half of the jokes are useless, and there are several jokes in just one minute of footage.

It took more than half an hour to shoot before it was OK.

"Okay, let's eat and eat..."

Lunch was a packed lunch. Charlotte took off the neck immobilizer and drew a few characters for rice.

Although I know that the plot is very funny and it is inevitable that there will be laughter during the filming, but when I actually shoot in front of the camera, I still can't help being serious and surprised.

Not only are they capable of breaking down and laughing in their interpretation of the plot, but so are the surrounding supporting staff.

In this regard, Fang Mo, who was watching behind the monitor, had already expected it. The whole one-and-a-half-hour film of "Charlotte's Trouble" has constant laughter from beginning to end. There are almost no redundant useless scenes, and the laughter is one after another. So if you want to watch every one To shoot in place, you must rely on grinding.

It is now mid-June, the weather is already very hot, and the trees and flowers outside are also full of green.

"Well, the interpretation worked."

While eating lunch, Fang Mo also chatted with the crew, producer, general manager, several leading actors, etc. about the filming progress and arrangements, as long as they could be completed on time.

"If anything happens to Charlotte, I won't be able to live anymore. To be honest with everyone, Charlotte has had no father since she was a child. As soon as Charlotte was born, her father's whereabouts are unknown..." Charlotte's mother sobbed and lamented.

'Auntie, I can understand you very well. Our family is also in the same situation. My father's name is Ma Dong. He died as soon as I landed, so my name is Ma Dongmei...' Ma Dongmei sobbed and hugged to comfort Charlotte's mother.

'Mom, I'm back...' Charlotte came back wearing a hospital gown, opening the bead curtain and opening her hands.

……

"Ka, pass..."

"I'll go, it's not easy..."

In the afternoon, the filming continued: a 1-minute scene took more than half an hour to be considered OK, and it had to be both emotional and funny, which was really not easy.

It took a whole afternoon to shoot the story scenes with all the transitions, which only lasted about 5 minutes, which was very difficult.

Evening studio, phone booth in the snow.

'Hey, Qiu Ya, I'm Yuan Hua...'

'I want to ask you which university you applied to. I want to apply to the same school as you...'

Outside the scene, Qiu Ya's voice said, "Don't call me anymore, I'm afraid Charlotte will misunderstand..."

The phone hung up and the busy tone sounded. Yuan Hua's expectant expression turned into shock and disbelief. The phone slipped from his hand and he knelt down and howled sadly, 'No...'

'Qiu Ya...' She stirred up her pain with her hands, beat her chest in annoyance, etc., and artificial heavy snow and goose feathers fell down.

Meng Te appeared in school uniform, took off a layer of school uniform and put it on for Yuan Hua, the two men looked at each other, snowflakes continued to fall, covering their bodies.

"Click, pass, call it a day..."

"No, I'm laughing so hard..."

At night, only the scene of "Yuan Hua called Qiu Ya and Meng Te came to comfort" was filmed.

The shot was only about 1 minute long, and it lasted for two hours. It was inexplicably sad, but also very funny at the same time; not only the rest of the crew were laughing so hard that they grinned behind their ears, but so was the actor who played Yuan Huamte.

Although there is a bit of bad talk about "Charlotte Trouble" on the Internet, even if there is praise, it is drowned in the voice of bad news, but only they know.

The entire cast and crew know that 'Charlotte' is a super hilarious comedy.

Regardless of the starring role or the supporting role, everyone's roles are vivid and distinctive. Just imagine, it is much more hilarious and entertaining than "Journey to the Road".

The box office of "Beautiful Heart" exceeded 10 billion, and "Charlotte" will not be less than 10 billion at the latest.

Based on director Fang's film's reputation as a hit, it is guaranteed to have a minimum release schedule. Even if there are more movies released during the Spring Festival, the premiere schedule rate starts at 25%, and as long as it is released, the reputation will be overwhelming.There is no doubt. On the basis of absolutely guaranteeing the minimum arrangement of films, we can increase the size and increase the size without any doubt.

The opportunity to become famous in a play is right in front of you. There is no reason not to be serious, not work hard, and not put in [-]% passion and energy to perform well.

You don't have to wait for the official release, you just need to wait until the screening, and the first batch of movie fans will know.

What is the quality of 'Charlotte's Trouble'?

Definitely one of the best in the comedy genre.

……

"Ding dong, ding dong ding dong"

It was night, and the room bell rang. Fang Mo knew it was Tan Xue without opening the door, and just ignored it.

Although Qin Zisu's relatives came to visit him a few days ago without much enthusiasm, he had sex a lot while writing scripts in Hangzhou, so he is not hungry physically or mentally at the moment.

Although Tan Xue looked very beautiful today in her Charlotte Chung Qiuya student dress, forget it.

"hum, buzz"

The phone vibrated. Fang Mo lowered his head and saw the WeChat message sent by Tan Xue. He stared at it and said that he hadn't taken off his makeup when he returned to the hotel. Don't you want to try pretending to be Qiu Ya, a student?What's more, it's already happened, so now you don't have to worry about anything outside, just treat it as a physiological exercise.

Uh, nimmama, that's so cool.

Even though Tan Xue didn't say much when facing Fang Mo, he was calm and pitiful, but the text sent by WeChat revealed his arrogance every word. Most people really couldn't stand it, but Fang Mo wouldn't do it again even if he was thirsty for three years. Fell asleep.

You can sleep actively, but not passively.

It would have been okay if he had taken a liking to Tan Xue before and took the initiative to sleep with him, but it was a big deal if he was drugged and slept with.

It's a shame not to sleep a second time.

Tan Xue is pretty, but she is just a woman. There is no shortage of beautiful beauties in the entertainment industry. If you really want to indulge, you can do it every night. There is no shortage of women.

So pull it off and go to sleep to finish your work.

And when Tan Xue saw that Fang Mo didn't respond, she knew there was no chance. How could she sleep without even opening the door?Even if he had a back-up move, he couldn't use it, otherwise he wouldn't need to drink water to arouse Fang Mo's impulse and passion.

I couldn't stay at the door for too long, so I went back to my room first. Anyway, I had a lot of time. As long as Qiu Ya's scene was not completely finished, it would be fine.

You will always find the right opportunity.

The filming continued the next day with outdoor scenes.

That is, Yuan Hua asked street gangster Chen Kai and others to beat up Xia Luo. Ma Dongmei showed up to save people. When the two of them failed to escape and were beaten violently, Teacher Wang stepped forward.

Chen Kai covered his head that was hit by a brick, with blood pouring out. He watched the boys kicking and beating Xia Luo, who was lying on the ground to protect Ma Dongmei. He gritted his teeth in pain and yelled, "Fuck him to death." …”

Charlotte held Ma Dongmei tightly under her body and allowed her upper back to be punched and kicked. Her eyes were full of firm protection, preventing Ma Dongmei from getting even the slightest injury.

"Stop!" Teacher Wang stood up and stopped the attack.

"I told you to get lost just now, you're lost, right..." A gangster stepped forward and stared at him.

Next, there is a scene of Teacher Wang beating up a group of gangsters with quick punches and body movements. Finally, he gestures towards the gangster boss Chen Kai with a solemn look on his face. This is a tough battle.

"Ah ha ha ha..." Chen Kai raised the wooden frame in his hand with a fierce look on his face, walked towards Teacher Wang with a smile, and turned around, "Wait for me for a while..."

Uh ok, that’s funny, the boss is also scared.

"Thank you, Teacher Wang..." Ma Dongmei helped Xia Luo stand up, thanking her with gratitude in her eyes.

"It's okay, if you have nothing to do, go home quickly..." Teacher Wang scolded with anger on his face.

"Teacher Wang, it turns out you are so good at fighting..." Charlotte looked embarrassed and confused, "Then why didn't the two of us fight back..."

"Nonsense, I am a teacher..." Teacher Wang proudly opened the folding fan and hummed.

There are four big words on the folding fan, 'Be a good example to others'!
"Actually, I think Teacher Wang is quite handsome..." Teacher Wang turned away with arrogance and disdain, and Ma Dongmei sighed at his back as he rode away. But the next moment, the wheel of the car hit a brick and bounced up, making her instantly amused.

~~~

"Ka, passed..."

The assistant director shouted loudly that the camera was OK.

Although it is not the Starry Sky crew, Fang Mo is not ready to hold up the camera to shoot. The crew established by the United Production Company is very capable, and the assistant director has rich experience. At least his level is higher than Xiong Bin's.

Come to help Fang Mo, no shame.

How many directors want to be in Fang Mo's movies but have no chance, and if Charlotte is a super hit at the box office, it will be a very impressive qualification.

This entry-level job is still a contracted director of a multi-party joint production company, and everyone is competing for it.

Suddenly, the sky quickly darkened.

The weather in June changes at any time, is it going to rain?
"What a crappy weather forecast."

Fang Mo was a little speechless. Most of the scenes arranged today were outdoors, and it was only mid-afternoon when the indoor scenes were completed. After a few shots, they had to be canceled.

Forget it, take a day off and talk about it tomorrow.

There is nothing interesting in Bincheng, but the scenery is pleasant, the climate is good, and there is also a beach to go to.

Those who are full of energy can go around, and those who want to shut down their computer and sleep all day are free to leave it alone.

Therefore, Fang Mo said that after filming the next scene, he would stop working and take a rest. The actors and the crew were both happy and helpless.

But it's a good thing to have a rest. Although I only started shooting for a day and a half before something went wrong, forget it.

Director Fang is so capable that he will not delay the final progress of the film. Moreover, it will be released during the Spring Festival. It is only mid-to-late June and it is very early. It can be filmed slowly.

"Don't be too happy."

After looking around, Fang Mo waved and laughed, "Two leading actors, if you don't pass the final scene soon, you won't have any rest in the afternoon! So transition as quickly as possible and put more effort into your acting..."

After hearing these words, the two leading actors looked at each other with bitter expressions on their faces. They were the only ones in the next scene.

After Teacher Wang rode away, when Charlotte and Ma Dongmei were returning home, Ma Dongmei asked Charlotte if she liked Qiu Ya and if she also liked her. After all, he had just tried his best to protect her from harm.

"Charlotte, wait for me, wait for me, listen to me Charlotte...Charlotte, tell me if you like Qiu Ya..." Ma Dongmei asked sadly.

"Yes, everyone in the school knows that I like Qiu Ya..." Xia Luo was surprised and said matter-of-factly, "And I told you Ma Dongmei clearly that there is no chance for us..."

"Then why were you protecting me just now..."

"Oh, you misunderstood. I just don't like them. It has nothing to do with you..." Charlotte said bluntly, lying on the round railing of the stone pavilion on the hillside, don't be sentimental.

"Okay, as long as you tell me now that you hate me, I will disappear in front of you forever..."

Ma Dongmei looked sad, and Charlotte turned her head.

"Ma Dongmei..." Charlotte gritted her teeth helplessly.

"You said..." Ma Dongmei looked mournful.

"Oh, I don't hate it..." Charlotte's lips trembled, and she looked like the eighteenth generation of her ancestors who owed Ma Dongmei. She couldn't express her state of mind at this time. She could only say, "What a sin..."

Life is hopeless and helpless, there is no way to escape!
