Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

Chapter 38

"I'll call you when I leave. I'll definitely leave within a week."

the following few days.

Gu Ming spent some time gathering the crew members together.

Make an appointment with Kang Xiaotian.

Because Gu Changwei no longer has time to be his own cameraman.

I also found a 93-level senior from the photography department of Nortel from Beijing Film Studio.

His name is Cao Yu.

Now he is not the one who collaborated with Riku Taro in many movies, and later became the photographer for a series of movies such as "The Legend of the Demon Cat" and "Wonderful West and East".

Knowing that he was talented, Gu Ming simply hired him to find Venus.

It is impossible for a person like Gu Changwei to be a full-time photographer for himself.

After all, I need a photographer who can bond with me deeply.

As for his lack of experience.

Let's cooperate slowly.

Fortunately, the requirements for photography in "Fireworks in the Day" are not as great as those in the previous film "Burning". What is more tested is the lighting.

In this film, yellow-green lights are used in places where emotions are expressed, such as laundromats, ice rinks at night, bridges, and hotels.

Barber shops, alleys, and dance halls, the three places where murderous stalking appears, are all in red.

When the male and female protagonists are in a taxi together, red and yellow-green appear at the same time. When the female protagonist knows that the male protagonist is a policeman, red is used more for the female protagonist.

There are especially many uses of lighting.

This is why Gu Ming called Kang Xiaotian, the lighting engineer he met at the screening of "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin" in Cannes.

I’m afraid that others won’t be able to get the effect I want by then.

……

7 month 10 number.

Gu Ming rushed to Harbin in advance with Yan Danchen, one of the producers and a first-time producer, photographer Cao Yu, assistant director, and the leading actor and actress.

Survey the scene and choose a scene that is suitable for shooting and can complete the picture in your mind.

For example, there is a nightclub not far from the Ferris wheel.

I really found one.

I have to say that among most people, actors are more famous than directors!
I went to that nightclub and told me that I wanted to make a movie and wanted to change the brand of their nightclub to a daytime fireworks nightclub, but the other party refused to do it.

I took Li Xuejian, the "Song Jiang", on a trip.

The other party agreed.

Going to the police station to experience life also allowed me to get to know Li Xuejian more.

Of course, such fame doesn't come without its downsides.

Once when I was walking on the street, there was an old man who didn't know whether he was drunk or something. He pointed at Li Xuejian and yelled, "Song Jiang! You killed all the heroes of Liangshan, I'll fucking beat you up!"

Speaking of getting started.

Fortunately, there were enough people on our side to allow the other party to control them.

As a result, Li Xuejian, who had dinner with him that night, could only smile bitterly, and said, "I'm still doing well."

"I filmed the movie "Longing" before, you know that, right?"

"I play Song Dacheng in it, and Sun Song plays Wang Husheng."

"He's such a hateful person. When he goes shopping for vegetables, other people won't sell them to him. When he walks on the street, an aunt will slap him. How can you treat Liu Huifang like that?"

"He stayed at home for several months and didn't dare to go out."

"Hahaha."

Everyone laughed when they heard this interesting story.

Also a little fortunate.

It's obviously much better now.

The audience is constantly separating reality from drama.

Of course, in terms of scoring, a character like Song Jiang is still hated.

But Li Xuejian was lucky, at best he almost received a beating.

Chen Xiaoer's father, Chen Qiang, played Huang Shiren and was almost killed by an indignant little soldier.

Dinner is over.

Gu Ming and Yan Danchen returned to the hotel.

Gu Ming handles the work.

Yan Danchen was sitting on the bed wondering what he was thinking.

When Gu Ming finished his work for the day and turned around to exchange feelings with Yan Danchen, he realized that her eyebrows had been frowning.

"What's wrong?" Gu Ming asked curiously. "I can't feel it in the capital, but when I came here, I felt that the situation was really bad!" Yan Danchen sighed slightly, "People are generally more concerned about, how should I put it? I just feel that the layoffs have a really big impact on the people here. .”

"What are you doing with being sentimental?" Of course Gu Ming knew this. Most of the people in this area were state-owned enterprises, and when one was laid off, many people were really in a state of ecstasy.

Some people are ecstatic, and some are dying.

But I can't change anything.

Of course, it is also because I know that I will get better and better in the future.

"I'm a little worried that your film will pass censorship!"

Yan Danchen pinched his chin and whispered, "Filming in Harbin, Zhang Zili was a criminal police officer at first. Later, he was fired because of a major mistake and lost his iron job. Then he became confused and drank for several years. Will anyone think you are insinuating this? What?"

"for example……"

"Stop talking!" Gu Ming knew what she was trying to say and quickly stopped him, "Bah, bah, bah!"

"Bah, bah, bah!" Yan Danchen said three times, and then comforted Gu Ming, "It shouldn't be a big problem. The whole story is fine. In the end, evil prevails over good."

"I hope so."

Gu Ming was helpless.

I forgot about this.

The same film, in different time periods and in different places, has different sensitivity levels.

When "Fireworks in the Day" was released in the previous life, although the economy of the old industrial base was not very good, it was much better than the situation at the end of the century.

If I use this era as my background, someone might make trouble for me when I pass the trial.

but……

It's all here.

We can only move forward, there is no time to retreat.

I guess a background wouldn't cause this kind of consequences.

Gave myself some psychological comfort.

Gu Ming continued to advance the project.

The scenery lasted for more than half a month.

Li Xuejian lost a lot of weight.

The feeling in every gesture is also in place.

Gu Ming immediately gathered the crew.

"Turn on!"

The first shot I took was relatively simple.

It was a man who advocated independence and was playing poker with his newly divorced wife in a somewhat shabby hotel.

Playing poker.

The two of them had a final battle!
The electric fan is blowing.

The symbolic ladybug landed on their quilt.

Lonely at the last stop, Zhang Zili sent his wife on the train leaving Harbin.

When he arrived at the platform, the train was about to arrive, and Zhang Zili regained his fighting spirit.

The rogue grabbed his ex-wife's hand and pressed it against a pile of sand.

His wife squinted Zhang Zili's eyes with sand before he successfully got on the train.

Zhang Zili finally sat on the sand and looked at the divorce certificate.

The shot went smoothly.

In less than half a day, Jiang Wenli was finished.

"Aunt Jiang, the crew will have dinner together tonight before leaving."

"No." Jiang Wenli smiled and shook her head, "I'm just here to do you a favor, and I'll leave as soon as I'm done. To have a meal tonight, my ticket will have to be changed."

"The crew will reimburse the ticket!"

"It's really not possible. I promised you that Uncle Gu could get on the train back today."

"If you really want to treat me to a meal, next time, we can make up for it next time we have the chance to cooperate."

"Okay!" After a lot of persuasion, Gu Ming didn't stay any longer.

Time is tight.

Who knows how long the review will take, or whether it will really be stuck because of the film's historical background.

You have to make full use of your time.

Arrange an assistant to take Jiang Wenli by train.

The crew went to the next filming location.
