Chapter 294: The cool operation of turning on the Golden Horse

Chapter 294: The cool operation of turning on the Golden Horse
After celebrating Dudu's first birthday at the Yanjiao villa, Wei Jin took the crew to a low-key start-up at Nortel the next day.

Unexpectedly, just after paying homage to Mr. Guan, the originally clear sky suddenly started to rain lightly, and Chen Zhiming came over with a smile.

"Mr. Wei, when it comes into contact with water, it's a good sign!"

Because Chen Xi is on the crew of "Pacific Rim", Chen Zhiming volunteered to be the producer of this project. As the president of Shanhe Media, he has never forgotten his original intention.

"Old Chen, how old are you, and you are still so superstitious?"

Wei Jin pursed his lips and complained. The two had known each other for many years and became more and more comfortable with each other.

"Let's go in and get ready. Our movie is basically an indoor scene, so it won't affect anything."

Wei Jin's project can be said to be the top priority of Sunward Media. Although the investment in this film is not large, all the crew members involved are carefully selected and no one will slack off.

While the crew was setting up the scene, Wei Jin waved to Bai Yu.

"Director Wei."

"Well, Xiaobai, how's your script study going? And how's your drum practice going?"

Today's scene is for the male protagonist to perform alone. The difficulty is not high. The main thing is to let Bai Yu get into the state.

"Director Wei, I wrote a 1-word biography. If I play drums, my hand speed can reach 5 times per second."

Seeing Bai Yu beeping for a while, Wei Jin was a little confused.

"No, I asked you to practice the music. Have you practiced your hand speed?"

"Um, Director Wei, I'm already proficient in the music. Don't I need to improve my hand speed later in the script? I thought about practicing first, but I still didn't practice enough. The world record is 1 times per second, and the script requires at least 19 times per second. , I still have a lot to do, but don’t worry, I will continue to practice these days.”

Wei Jin slapped his forehead, "Hey guys, this is a real eye, but it's okay, it's easier to get into the play this way."

Liu Yifei on the side was also shocked. It was just a drama. Should it be so exaggerated to aim for a world record?

"Okay, let's see how you perform today."
-
In Nortel's small classroom, lighting, photography, props, etc. were all in place, and Wei Jin also came to the monitor and took his place.

"Attention all units, start."

""Breaking Drummer", first scene, first shot, action!"

As the sound of the performance fell, Bai Yu sat in front of the drum stand and started playing the drums.
This scene is the first scene in the movie. The male protagonist is sitting in a room at the end of the corridor playing drums.

In terms of Bai Yu's performance, this scene was pretty good, but Wei Jin was still not very satisfied. The emotions were too thin and without layers.

"Click."

The first time he made a movie, Bai Yu was at a loss when he heard the clicking sound. He didn't understand what his problem was.

"Xiaobai, your emotions are a bit misplaced. You should be confident with a bit of worry. You have to show that kind of conflict. Do you understand?"

Bai Yu wanted to say he didn't understand, but looking at Wei Jin's eyes, he timidly swallowed his words.

"Director Wei, please give me another one."

"it is good."

"action."

"Click."

"action."

"Click."

One afternoon passed in the midst of non-stop NG. Bai Yu had already collapsed a little. He didn't understand what was wrong. Is this how Oscar-winning directors film?
However, Teacher Wang Jinsong, who was observing from the side, had some realization. Wei Jin did this on purpose.

Let the young actors in front of you experience the feeling of despair in advance. After all, the male protagonist in the movie is even more desperate.

"Click."

Wei Jin took off his headphones and did not continue to call start.

"Xiao Bai, come here first today, remember this feeling of helplessness and despair, remember it."
-
Early the next morning, Wei Jin came to Nortel's filming site.

I saw that the classroom was already crowded with people. At a glance, there were quite a few future stars, including Yang Zi, Zhang Yishan, Huang Mengying, Liu Mengmeng, Naza...
Perhaps because of Wei Jin's serious face, these students did not dare to say hello to him, and could only secretly sigh that the great director was too powerful.

This was naturally staged by Wei and Jin, otherwise we don’t know how long it would have been delayed.

Seeing Wei Jin walking into the set, many students began to whisper.

"I don't know what Senior Brother Wei is thinking, why should we choose a student who is successful in acting? Aren't our junior brothers and sisters from Nortel unworthy?"

"Hey, it's the tradition of great directors"

"I heard that this kid was scolded badly by Senior Brother Wei yesterday. It seems that the students in the Chinese Theater are not very good either."

"Nonsense, I just tend to be NG. Senior Brother Wei didn't curse, but the expression on his face was terrifyingly cold."

Just as everyone was talking about it, a staff member came over.

"Everyone be quiet. The shooting is about to start. The radio equipment has been turned on. If anyone affects the shooting, it will be difficult for your teacher to explain."

A group of rising stars suddenly turned into quails.
-
In the studio, Wei Jin sat behind the monitor and raised his hand to signal.

"action"

"Bang! Bang! Bang"

After a burst of exciting drumbeats, Bai Yu's face looked a little confident and a little worried, and his performance was much better than yesterday.

The door in front of Bai Yu opened, and the serious-looking bald teacher Wang Jinsong walked in wearing a slim-fitting suit.

At this time, the light was shining from top to bottom, forming a "skeleton light" on Wang Jinsong's face, which looked a bit scary.

In the camera, Bai Yu's performance was good, which was consistent with his panic after being discovered.

"Sorry, I."

Wang Jinsong stretched out his hand, his face expressionless.

"Sitting there, what's your name? What grade are you in?"

"Teacher, my name is Bai Yu, freshman."

"Then do you know who I am?"

Wang Jinsong remained expressionless.

"I know."

"So did you know I'm looking for a drummer?"

"know."

"Then why didn't you fight?"

"Crack!"

Wei Jin looked at the picture on the monitor and nodded.

"I've passed this one, Xiaobai, my performance today was pretty good, keep up the good work."

Wei Jin didn't expect that this kid got into the mood very quickly, so he couldn't help but praise him.

"Thank you, Director Wei." Bai Yu was a little happy. The shy and hesitant look just now was considered a true performance. He was already prepared to be NG again, but who knew that he would pass the first two paragraphs directly? .

"Okay, get ready and start the next one right away."
-
While "The Exploding Drummer" was being filmed in an orderly manner, the 47th Golden Horse Awards also came to an end.

In order to praise their own people, people in Wanwan really do anything.

Today, Ruan actually defeated veteran mainland drama stars Wang Xueqi, Ni Dahong, and Qin Hao, and won the Best Actor Award. "October Siege", which was nominated for seven categories, won the Best Costume Design, which was not painful. This time The Golden Horse Awards have also become a joke.

As one of the judges, Ning Hao was watched by netizens, who left messages asking him what he thought of this year's Golden Horse Awards.

"Everyone knows this kind of thing."

Although the eight-character reply was quickly deleted, it had a huge impact. There were a lot of doubts in the circle, and there was also a lot of criticism on the Internet.

"Junior brother, I just drank too much and complained. I didn't expect it to be so big."

Ning Hao's voice on the phone was a little helpless and a little angry.

"But the Golden Horse is really capable of doing that. He was obviously the one who got the fewest votes. When it was announced, he actually became the Best Actor. It's so shameless. No wonder you don't like him."

"The place is too small. Just like Xiangjiang, there are no successors. We can only use this method to gain a position. Don't have any illusions in the future."

After hanging up the phone, Wei Jin felt a little emotional, China's three golds no longer have any meaning.

Shaking his head and about to smoke a cigarette, Wei Jin suddenly saw an invitation lying on the bedside.

"Tiantian, will you go then?"

The first domestic blockbuster in December is "The Orphan of Zhao". The movie has entered the final stage of crazy promotion these days. Invitations to the premiere have been sent to Shanhe Media, but Wei Jin did not expect that he would give it to Jing Jing alone. Tian sent one copy.

"I probably can't go. Brother, have you forgotten? "Now You See Me 2" will be released that day."

Although this is an imported film, as the starring role, Jing Tian still hopes that the domestic box office will be better. On the day of the release, she will definitely go to major theaters to promote and perform road shows.

"Well, that's true. Poet Chen's premiere was held too early."

Thinking of the date of the invitation, Wei Jin couldn't help but complain that the movie to be released on December 12th had its premiere nearly ten days in advance. This was obviously to compete with Lao Mouzi.

"Brother, will you go to participate?"

"Forget it."

Wei Jin thought for a moment and then said, it's not that he doesn't give Poet Chen face, but the crew's filming has been going very smoothly these days and he doesn't want to disrupt the rhythm.

What's more, he didn't want to go to see Poet Chen perform in person. If a reporter asked him what he thought of the box office, wouldn't he be slapped in the face on the spot?

Just as he was about to take a rest with Jing Tian, ​​the phone next to him rang. Looking at the caller ID, Wei Jin's pupils shrank.

"Mr. Wang?"

"Mr. Wei, our IPO plan has been approved. On December 12st, Tudou will officially become the first domestic video website stock to be listed on the NASDAQ market in North America."

Wang Wei's voice was very excited on the phone. The US$1.5 million financing plan was successfully approved. Tudou's future development is unstoppable.

Although Youku has also submitted an IPO plan, there is a huge difference between the first and second places. Wang Wei believes that it will not be long before Youku can no longer compete with Tudou.

"Very good. All this hard work has finally paid off. Congratulations, Mr. Wang."

"Haha, we are happy together. Thanks to Mr. Wei for your support all the way. Thank you very much."

On the phone, Wang Wei's voice was full of sincerity. How many investors could do what Wei Jin did and spare no effort in supporting him for several years?
"By the way, Mr. Wei, do you have time on the day the bell rings?"

"Forget it, my movie is still being filmed, so I won't participate."

After hanging up the phone, Wei Jin's heart was racing. Tudou had been successfully launched. Next, it was time to start working on Shanhe Cinema and Shanhe Technology. His dream of an entertainment empire was getting closer and closer.

"Brother, congratulations."

Jing Tian didn't know much about the business affairs of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, but the investment in potatoes was well known in the industry.

"Tiantian, we are going to have a great celebration tonight for such a joyful thing. Are you ready?"

"Well~~The little cutie is always ready to listen to the teachings of Master Virgo"
-
On the set of "The Exploding Drummer", a scene had just ended and Wei Jin was about to smoke a cigarette when he saw Ning Hao rushing over.

"Brother, why are you here?"

While talking, Wei Jin handed over a cigarette, and Ning Hao also took it.

After lighting it, Ning Hao took a deep breath and handed the document in his hand to Wei Jin.

"Junior brother, please help me take a look. I have revised the script of "No Man's Land"."

Wei Jin could tell that Ning Hao was already a little unsure about the audit.

"Okay, let me take a look."

Looking through the reworked script, Wei Jin frowned. Strictly speaking, this was not a reshoot, but a reshoot. Almost half of the content in the new script had been changed, but it could be seen that Ning Hao still Reluctantly, some of his favorite plots were retained.

"It's not a big problem. It's just that with such a change, the actors will be delayed for a long time."

Wei Jin is telling the truth. You can't let other actors get one share of money to make two movies, right? The net worth of these actors has increased a lot in the past two years, so others have to consider their expenses, right?
"You don't have to worry about that. There is no problem with the three of them. The schedule and remuneration have been agreed upon."

Ning Hao also understood what Wei Jin meant. He really spent a lot of favors this time, and some of them will be paid back in the future.

"Then let's shoot it like this. Although the core has been weakened, it's still pretty good. There's absolutely no problem in getting the money back."

Wei Jin gave an affirmative answer. After the modification, although it is not amazing, it is still wonderful. With Ning Hao's appeal and the current movie market getting bigger and bigger, it is still not a problem to get a box office of 200 to 300 million yuan. big.

"That's good. Director Han didn't pay him the more than 10 million yuan, so I'm embarrassed to see him."

Wei Jin nodded when he heard this. This is Ning Hao's style, but to be honest, this kind of personality is not a qualified commercial director.

Wu Baige, Chen Kexin and other Hong Kong directors, including Mainland poets Chen Shi, Jiang Wen and others, who has never made a splash? Which one has not caused investors to lose tens of millions or hundreds of millions? But don’t these people still get along quite happily with their investors?
In the final analysis, Ning Hao's pride and loyalty were at play, but this was also the reason why Wei Jin was willing to treat him as a friend.

"Then how do you think about the funds for reshoots? Just let me know if you need anything."

"Thank you, junior brother."

Ning Hao had a smile on his face, Wei Jin's trust made him very happy.

"However, I plan to ask Director Han first. After all, this is a project controlled by China Film Group Corporation. Before he nods, I won't be able to rashly introduce other investors."

"Well, that's very thoughtful. That's the truth. If Director Han has any concerns, I'll give you the full answer."

"Haha, okay, I'll go to China Film Academy first."

Seeing Ning Hao come and go in a hurry, Wei Jin shook his head.

Wei Jin went straight to the monitor and sat down, and started filming a new scene.

In the afternoon, Wei Jin received a call from Ning Hao. Perhaps it was because the profits of "Passengers" were extremely considerable. Han Sanping was very angry this time. With a wave of his hand, he directly approved 20 million re-shooting funds for him, even more than before. The amount of investment is even higher, which means that there will be no more troubles in "No Man's Land".

After withdrawing his thoughts, Wei Jin continued to issue instructions.

"Attention all units, get ready to begin."

"action."
