Chapter 26 Booting up

3 month 25 day.

"Buried Alive", which has been released from theaters for two weeks, has grossed over 10 million at the box office, slightly higher than "Peacock".

After Gu Changwei learned the news, his food no longer tasted good.

He clearly remembers that "Buried Alive" was promoted on his behalf when it was released.

Then the 18-year-old young director is extremely confident in "Buried Alive", which he wrote and directed, claiming that the box office will surpass Gu Changwei's "Peacock".
  Gu Changwei couldn't help but have a toothache when he recalled this.

What he won at the Berlin Film Festival was the Silver Bear, the Grand Jury Prize, which is the most important Silver Bear after the Golden Bear.

As a result, it was no match for "Buried Alive" which only received a consolation prize at the box office.

If you can't beat it, then you can't beat it. "Buried Alive" was at the same Berlin Film Festival as "Peacock".

The same class, just the same class, and he's an 18-year-old kid.

How unfair this world is!

Gu Changwei touched the wrinkles on his face. Why did he keep working for Xiao Mouzi so stupidly before?

Why didn’t you realize you were directing movies earlier?

Ugh.

at night
  At the same time, Han Sanping called Wang Shu, told Wang Shu the good news in person, and then encouraged him.

"When will your crappy TV series start?" Han Sanping asked on the phone.

"Probably around April 4th." Wang Shu heard the dissatisfaction in Han Sanping's tone and said cautiously.

Yishushu Film and Television Company was able to successfully and quickly obtain the "TV Series Production Certificate (Type B)" and other related documents because Wang Shu shamelessly approached Han Sanping.

260W, selling the entire copyright of "Buried Alive" to China Film at a low price would still have some effect.

"Hurry up." Han Sanping urged, "Your crappy TV series only has 16 episodes. Try to finish it in June or July, and then leave enough time to seriously polish the movie script."

At this time, Han Sanping already knew some information about the TV series that Wang Shu was going to film.

"."

Wang Shu heard this and responded without any silence, "It should be completed in June or July."

Wang Shu was careless here and only said it was finalized, not completed.

Because after the filming is completed, there is still editing and other things to do.

Han Sanping obviously didn't care about this and continued to ask: "Are you confident that this film will win awards?"

When Wang Shu heard this, he couldn't help complaining in his heart. Any director would say he was confident when an investor asked this, right?
  Otherwise, how can we deceive investors into making money?
  But after thinking about it for a moment, he understood why Han Sanping looked a little anxious.

At the same time, Wang Shu also knew that Han Sanping had ambitions.

Otherwise, he wouldn't keep making all kinds of big moves when he takes the stage.

"Yes!" Wang Shu affirmed without any hesitation.

"Okay." Han Sanping was very satisfied with Wang Shu's confident answer and said solemnly, "shoot well and try to win another award."

Do you really think that Berlin’s prizes are just cabbage? Wang Shu couldn't help but rolled his eyes.

The two continued talking for a while and then hung up the phone.

On April 4, two guests came to Yishu Company. They were the directors of two factories that Wang Shu had previously acquired.

This time, the two brought what Wang Shu needed.

4 month 10 day.

The crew of "My Girlfriend is a Nine-Tailed Fox", which has been registered and announced, started filming in Beijing in a low-key manner.

Zhou Xiaofa, the director of Yishu Company, is responsible for the coordination and other matters. He is an industry insider and handles these matters in an orderly manner.

On the day of filming, Producer Luo came over to support the show, and then left without staying much.

After he left, there was still a producer left with the crew. After all, I invested 600W, how can I not stare at it?

"Scene One, Act One, Action."

set.

Wang Shu directed and acted himself, and filming is in full swing.

The equipment for filming the TV series this time was rented from Guangguang.

Wang Shu is very poor and has no money to buy equipment, so he can only do this.

The assistant director, executive director, and the people on the other side of the light are all experienced veterans.

The other staff members in the crew were found by Zhou Xiaofa, and they are pretty good.

The first episode of "My Girlfriend is a Nine-Tailed Fox" tells the story of the disobedient protagonist who was sent to a closed school by his grandfather. On the way, the protagonist ran away and ran into a temple.

Then the nine-tailed fox sealed in the painting scares the protagonist, tricking the protagonist into painting nine tails on the fox in the painting, and the nine-tailed fox escapes from the trap.

Then the protagonist fell off a cliff due to fright and was seriously injured. The nine-tailed fox escaped and used the demon pill in its body to save the protagonist.

Later, the nine-tailed fox followed the protagonist to the big city.
  The story of the first episode is in such a context. Wang Shu's filming was not carried out in the order of the development of the story, but was determined based on the actor's schedule and other factors.

For example, Li Guangjie played a supporting role in the crew of "The Great Qing Dynasty" and had to run both ways.

Another example is Dong Xuan. She took over the costume martial arts TV series "Eight Heroes" directed by Wang Jin, and played a supporting role in it. It will be launched after a while.

Therefore, Wang Shu needs to plan the shooting according to the schedule of the crew and actors, rather than directly following the chronological order.

Once the scenes that need to be filmed in advance are completed, filming can be carried out in accordance with time or the sequence of events.

After a morning of shooting, it was time to eat.

In the crew, Wang Shu, Yan Danchen, Dong Xuan, Li Guangjie, and other staff members all sat around and ate box lunches together.

At this time, although the entertainment industry was ranked based on seniority, the atmosphere of the crew had not yet changed due to the entry of capital.

Whether they were starring, supporting actors, or extras, everyone gathered together to eat, talk and laugh together.

There is no obvious class distinction among the protagonists, supporting roles, and extras.

When the capital comes in, the leading actors will each have their own resting area, depending on the level of the celebrity.

Everyone cares about their own things, no longer mixed with supporting roles and extras.

At the same time, class distinctions have become increasingly obvious.

After eating, take a rest and continue working in the afternoon.

On the first day of work, the main filming was not the scenes of the male and female protagonists, but the scenes related to the supporting roles such as Dong Xuan, Li Guangjie, and Zhang Hanyu.

Wang Shu deliberately moved their scenes to the front so that they could finish filming as soon as possible and then leave the group to do other things.

In this way, the work of both parties will not be delayed.

As for Yan Danchen, she is a prostitute. Dong Xuan, Li Guangjie and others are not busy, so there is no need to advance her role.

At night, the crew called it a day.

Several people went to a hot pot restaurant together, chatting and laughing while sitting down, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

Yan Danchen held a glass of beer and saluted Wang Shu with a blushing face.

As soon as Wang Shu finished his drink, Dong Xuan followed closely behind him and offered a toast with his wine glass.

The two of them sat on one side of Wang Shu and on the other. Whenever Wang Shu's wine glass was empty, he would be very discerning and fill it up for Wang Shu without waiting for Wang Shu to do it himself.

Even sometimes, he would take the initiative to take some favorite ingredients from the hot pot pot and put them into Wang Shu's bowl.

Li Guangjie and Yang Wei sat aside and saw this in their eyes, the envy in their hearts was unspeakable.
