Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

Chapter 5 Promise to Wang Baoqiang

After drinking and eating, everyone dispersed.

Except Wang Baoqiang.

He always had his honest smile on his face, reluctantly following Gu Ming wherever Gu Ming went.

"Why are you following me?" Gu Ming said, "Each go back to your home."

"I, I just want to say thank you, director." Wang Baoqiang grinned, showing two rows of big white teeth.

"I have been in Beijing for more than half a year, and you are the best director I have ever seen."

"Not only is the filming great, but the entire crew he directs is like the arm that directs him. He is also a very nice person."

"If you have any dramas in the future, you can still find me, right in front of the Beijing Film Studio."

"I don't need any money, just take care of the lunch boxes."

"Okay, if there is a suitable role for you, I will find you." In fact, my company is not on the right track yet. It is enough to support two people. If you raise one more, it will just make him a living, and you will not be able to give him much exercise. , and it also delays others.

Otherwise, Gu Ming really wouldn't mind bringing Wang Baoqiang into the company.

Such a person who will blossom in both film and television in the future, who can be both an actor and a director without any scandal, is simply a model of a good employee!
"It's a deal." Wang Baoqiang didn't know what Gu Ming was thinking. He just felt that he had met a noble person, nodded to Gu Ming and walked away.

"Hey, wait."

Thinking that since it is a good relationship.

Just tie more knots.

Gu Ming called Wang Baoqiang back again and handed him a business card, "If you have any difficulties, call the number above. I will definitely help if I can."

"Thank you!" Wang Baoqiang put the business card in his inner pocket, covering his heart with his hand, and walked out slowly step by step.

When he reached the door, he reluctantly looked back at Gu Ming.

……

The next day.

Gu Ming put all his energy into the editing room of Qingying Studio.

I started editing inside with several seniors who had just graduated.

clip.

As the name suggests.

Cut out the film recording the scenes and reconnect them to achieve the effect the director had in mind.

"17-Year-Old Bicycle" Gu Ming has been preparing for a long time.

The finished film is already in my mind.

There is no hesitation when editing, and the speed is relatively fast.

"Cut another second at the end of shot 10 and connect it to shot 8."

"In the scenes of beating Xiaogui and Xiaojian, all the striking scenes were removed, leaving only the movements of the gangsters pumping their fists."

"Ours is a youth film, not an action film. There is no need to pay attention to fists and flesh."

"This will also make it easier during the trial."

……

time flies.

9 month 10 day.

Teachers' Day.

When Gu Ming walked out of the editing room, he felt that the sunlight outside was a bit dazzling, and he subconsciously raised his hand to block it.

Slowly let go of your hands, squinting your eyes and adjusting to the sunlight outside.

The corners of Gu Ming's mouth slowly curled up.

It’s not in vain that I wake up early and stay late every day.

My first video is finally completed!

I just watched it again and it was quite well done.

Not to mention other things, in terms of acting skills, because I used acting students who had studied for a year, and worked hard to let them practice on the scene over and over again, they are still better than the two pure newcomers in the original work.

this afternoon.

After finally coming out, Gu Ming called the acting department teacher, classmates, and the most important person, the film's investor, deputy dean and director of the Qingying Film Studio, Hou Kenming, to the screening room.

At the very beginning of the film is the logo of Xi Film Studio.

Then there was a star map, with stars shining brightly. The star on the left was the largest and shiniest. The words "Beijing Venus Film and Television Production Company" flashed by the shooting stars and appeared one by one.

"This factory logo is pretty good!" Yan Danchen sat on Gu Ming's left hand side, holding Gu Ming's arm tightly, with excitement on his face. "Okay."

Gu Ming's mouth twitched in pain.

The film cost 60 yuan to shoot, 30 yuan for post-production, and the factory label cost 10 yuan.

Of the 110 million filming funds, only 10 yuan was left.

I don’t know if the remaining money is enough to go to Berlin and work as a film salesman.

"Let's watch a movie."

After being humble, Gu Ming raised his chin towards the curtain.

The first one is the appearance of the male protagonist Xiaogui.

For small scenes, the telephoto lens directly compresses all the depth space.

You can tell who the male protagonist is at a glance, and you can also feel that his situation is not so good.

……

more than an hour later.

The film ends with Xiaogui walking on the street carrying a bicycle.

Hou Kenming took the lead and clapped his hands.

"Good boy, you are an acting student. This shooting technique is really good. It's a pity that we don't have an undergraduate directing class in the 96 class. Otherwise, we will have to poach you at any cost and put you in the acting department."

Hou Keming is not telling lies.

He asked Gu Ming's assistant director, a student in the directing class.

They really just became assistant directors, instead of doing the job of "director" in the name of assistant director.

Gu Ming's on-site control was quite skillful and he didn't look like a newcomer at all.

Such a person has also made a highly completed feature film that can be regarded as an excellent one in his eyes, which is already better than many directing undergraduates.

How many graduates can be lined up for feature films in a year?
This experience is extremely valuable.

"You don't have to transfer to the directing department!" A teacher said, "Who said you have to transfer to the directing department to become a director? There is also the photography department. Zhang Yimou is not in the photography department. If you can't do it, you can also go to the drama department."

"No! Our performance department won't let anyone go." Cui Xinqing said coldly.

Is it easy for their acting department to find a director?

As soon as there are seedlings, I want to dig them up.

"Hahaha……"

"Teacher Cui, don't worry, it's just a joke."

"Who doesn't know what your joke is about? If I didn't get angry, you would really dare to poach people."

"Hey hey hey..."

"The shooting was really good!" Huang Xiaoming lowered his voice and whispered in Gu Ming's ear, "We will have to call you Director Gu from now on."

"Tell me, when will this movie be released?"

"I'll get my relatives and friends to watch it together then."

"It depends on when it will be reviewed! As for this, that is unknown." Gu Ming deliberately raised his voice so that Dean Hou could hear it.

Hou Kerming immediately laughed, "I don't think there's any big problem with this film."

"The filming was not in the countryside. There were many scenes of high-rise buildings, and there was no evil in human nature."

"The only thing that's a bit dangerous is that there are a lot of fights between students."

"But let me say hello to you. After all, it is a film made by the students of the college. I think it won't be too difficult since I have a good foundation."

"Thank you very much, Dean Hou. Our film could not have been released without your strong support, Dean!" Gu Ming immediately held Hou Kenming's hand and threw in his free words.

It made Hou Keming feel embarrassed.

After all, he only paid [-].

Gu Ming's father is an old man from Xiying Studio again.

It’s really not to the point where the film wouldn’t have been made without me.

But everything is just like a sedan chair carrying people, and Hou Kerming was not modest at all. He just kept saying that he would try his best to find connections to get the film approved as soon as possible.

Get this promise from him.

Gu Ming made a few more copies of the movie, took a leave of absence, called an employee, and together they took one of the copies and got on the train back to his hometown, Jia'an.
