I am a director, but I have the skills of an actor

Chapter 99

"Brother Cong, there are police, what should I do?"

In the middle of the night, on the boat that was about to dock, a man saw the police on the shore and asked Yang Junyi who was beside him.

Yang Junyi took a deep drag on his cigarette, threw half of the burning cigarette into the river, and said with an arrogant look, "What's wrong with the police!"

"It's passed. It's severe winter. Climb up and shoot with a telephoto lens!" Wan Qingshan shouted from behind the monitor.

"Copy that." Yan Dong shouted before boarding the two-way long ladder prepared by the props team.

After everything was ready, after Wanqingshan said "start", in the camera, the ship slowly approached the shore.

After docking, Wanqingshan shouted, "It's passed, adjust the camera for the severe winter."

When the harsh winter comes, we can continue shooting only when we are ready.

"Who are you? What are you doing here at night?" the extras in police uniforms asked sternly in Thai to Yang Junyi and his group who had just landed.

Yang Junyi took two steps closer and said with a smile, "Officer, we -"

Halfway through the words, Yang Junyi's expression suddenly changed. He raised his hand on his waist and threw out a prop knife. With a whoosh, it stuck to the chest of an extra.

Immediately, Yang Junyi jumped up, took out a prop dagger from his waist, and slashed the neck of another extra who played a policeman.

After the two extras fell to the ground, Yang Junyi spat on the ground, "Police, trash." Then he turned around and shouted, "Bring the goods down."

A group of children, whose hands and feet were tied and whose mouths were stuffed with cloth, were carried off the boat by several extras.

After Yang Junyi and his party carried the child and got into the van parked nearby, Wan Qingshan shouted,

"After that, I announce that "Loyal Liver and Righteousness" has been completed. Everyone packs up and goes back to rest. There will be a filming banquet at noon tomorrow."

Suddenly, the crew burst into cheers.

It is now the end of June, and the crew has been in Thailand for more than two months.

These two months have been the hottest time in Thailand. Working in a hot and stuffy environment every day can make everyone exhausted.

Wan Qingshan also breathed a sigh of relief. Filming this movie was much more tiring than before. The hot weather was not just one thing, but more importantly, he was tired.

We have to worry about whether the actors will be injured during the fight scene, whether the explosion scenes will injure the actors, and even more worry about whether the crew will run out at night and cause trouble.

The completion gave Wan Qingshan a sense of relief, which led him to accept the toasts from Yang Junyi and others at the finals banquet.

Seeing Wan Qingshan start drinking, Yan Dong, Zhao Shufeng and others joined in the toast. After a while of toasting, Wan Qingshan got drunk.

Wanqingshan's wine is very good. After getting drunk, he doesn't go crazy or talk nonsense. He just lies on the table and sleeps.

Upon seeing this, Li Yancheng, Yan Dong and others carried Wan Qingshan back to the room, then turned around and continued drinking.

"Director Wan, thank you for your hard work. Welcome back."

At the airport pick-up gate, Zhang Zhao greeted the Wanqingshan group.

After several explosion scenes were filmed in mid-May, Zheng Xuandao led the pyrotechnics team away, and then - Zhang Zhao also left early.

At that time, there were some problems with the domestic promotion of "Loyalty Liver and Righteousness".

After the filming photos of "Loyal Liver and Righteous Bravery" appeared on entertainment news programs, the effect was very good.

There are many netizens spontaneously discussing it in various forums on the Internet, and the popularity is not low.

As a result, film and television companies in the industry saw it and imitated it.

Movies that are currently being released, will be released in the near future, and are shot in a decent way are all promoted on entertainment news programs.Even movies that are still being prepared are put up to promote them.

TV stations are not fools either. Seeing that so many movies want to be featured on entertainment news programs, they start charging external promotion fees.

Zhang Zhao is not here, Wang Changtian went abroad on business some time ago, and there is no decisive person in Enlight Pictures.
Even if Zhang Zhao asked Enlight Pictures to pay promotion fees to the TV station.But the broadcast time period is also placed in the last time period of the program.

There were so many promoted movies in the past, and in the last few minutes, most of them would change the channel to watch the TV series after watching another promotional movie, causing the popularity of "Loyalty Liver and Righteousness" to drop significantly.

Therefore, Zhang Zhao could only come back early to take charge of Enlight Pictures.Zhang Zhao led several people to pick him up. They met Yan Dong and others, helped to hold the shooting equipment, and got on the bus.

Wan Qingshan was invited by Zhang Zhao to sit in his car.

After the car drove out of the airport, Wan Qingshan asked, "Mr. Zhang, what's the situation now?"

"After I came back, I contacted many TV station directors, invited them to dinner, and gave them red envelopes, so they brought the promotion of "Loyal Liver and Righteousness" to the forefront.

However, there are too many movies promoted on entertainment news programs now. Even if they are mentioned in front of them, they will not have the same effect as before. Zhang Zhao replied with a somewhat disappointed look.

The best thing people know is to imitate others. When Wan Qingshan came up with this publicity plan, he thought that if the effect was good, people in the circle would follow suit.

Therefore, he was not depressed and even comforted Zhang Zhao.

"Mr. Zhang, with the early popularity, it doesn't matter even if it is squeezed out. At least "Loyalty Liver and Righteousness" has made an impression on many people. If it is promoted before it is released, many people should go to watch it. "

Zhang Zhao shook his head slightly and said with a wry smile, "I also know, but I ignored their learning speed, which led to a big gap in expectations.

At first, I thought that no matter what, it would take this movie before they would learn this method of publicity. "

"Mr. Zhang, please be normal. At least we have a head start."

Immediately, Wan Qingshan changed the subject and asked, "By the way, Mr. Zhang, did those people you asked to secretly learn from Zheng Xuandao's pyrotechnics special effects team learn anything?"

After Zheng Xuandao led the team away, Zhang Zhao asked the people who had learned secretly to return home. Wan Qingshan didn't know whether they had learned secretly.

"Don't mention it. Zheng Xuandao and his gang are very smart. They let people look at them at ordinary times, but when it comes to critical moments, they won't let them look at them." Zhang Zhao said with an ominous look on his face.

Wan Qingshan sighed in his heart. If they could secretly learn Zheng Xuandao's techniques, they wouldn't have to hire foreign actors for explosion scenes in the future.

Later, Wan Qingshan and Zhang Zhao chatted about the release date and promotion of "Loyal Liver and Righteous Brave".

The car stopped at a hotel, where Zhang Zhao treated everyone to a meal, which was considered a welcome feast.

After the meal, Wan Qingshan handed the film to Zhang Zhao and took it back to Enlight Pictures for safekeeping.

Qingshan Film and Television Company is just a leather company with no security or protective equipment. Wan Qingshan does not dare to put the film in Qingshan Film and Television Company.

Afterwards, Wan Qingshan and Yan Dong went home respectively.

After Wan Qingshan rested at home for two days without preparing for film editing, he got on a plane and went to Shenzhen to find Chen Yumo.

These two months have both exhausted him and made him depressed.

After staying in Shenzhen for a week, Wan Qingshan flew back to the capital to prepare for the post-production of the film.

Enlight Pictures, which was founded not long ago, is still lacking in post-production. It has editing rooms, dubbing rooms, and screening rooms, but it does not have good editors and dubbing artists.

Wan Qingshan could only take the film of "Loyalty Liver and Righteousness" and go to China Film Studio for post-production.

Wan Qingshan made three films, all of which were edited by Lu Ben. With more cooperation, it was easier for Lu Ben to understand the effect Wan Qingshan wanted.

So this time, Wan Qingshan still found Lu Ben.

After Lu Ben saw Wan Qingshan, he shook his head and sighed angrily, "Why did you think of making an action movie? The previous movie "The True Meaning of Love" at least had some connotation. What connotation can an action movie have? ah."

Wan Qingshan pretended not to hear what Lu Ben said. He smiled and said, "Teacher Lu, you take a look at the footage first. While you're at it, I'll tell you my requirements."

Maybe it was because he had given up hope that Wan Qingshan would make a literary film, so Lu Ben didn't dwell on it like last time.

He sighed, then opened the footage and started looking at it.

We have cooperated a lot, and we really have a tacit understanding. Wan Qingshan said that he wanted to have a sharp effect similar to "The Bourne Supremacy", and Lu Ben understood without saying much.

In the next half month, except for one weekend when Wan Qingshan went to accompany Chen Yumo who flew to the capital, the rest of the time he spent basically in the editing room, sorting with Lu Bing and watching Lu Ben's first cut.

After the initial cut is finalized, it’s time for fine editing. Wanqingshan doesn’t need to keep an eye on this aspect. Once the initial cut is finalized, all the shots are available.

Speaking of fine editing, it’s just a preliminary cut, which won’t reduce the scene of the first cut, so Wan Qingshan won’t keep an eye on it.

And he didn't have time to stare at it anymore. The first cut was decided, and it was time for him to agree on a release date.
