Chapter 5 Buried Alive
  On the way back after discussing the cooperation with Zhang Hanyu, Wang Shu heard a video store playing music.

"The first snowfall in 2002 came later than before."

"The No. 2 bus parked on the eighth floor took away the last falling yellow leaf."

"Endure the peace for a while, endure it for decades and the more you think about it, the more angry you will become."

Wang Shu sighed with emotion.

In January this year, Daolang released the album "The First Snow in 2002", with official sales reaching more than 270 million copies.

Then, the famous producer Song Ke recommended this album, which was put on the shelves in major audio and video stores in Beijing in May. In less than five days, it was widely sung in Beijing, and eventually became popular all over the country.

So, someone was jealous
  "That Mahu didn't know he was a donkey."

"Then the bird doesn't know he is a chicken"

"How can there be a painting hall and a pig dog?"

"Where can I find good luck?"

Wang Shu couldn't help but sing "Rakshasa Sea" which Daolang presented 19 years later.

Songs that farmers listen to?
  He happened to be a farmer who came to the capital from the countryside to beg for food.

in this year.

There is not only the classic song "A Snow in 2002".

There are also "Impulsive Punishment", "Love You", "Qilixiang", "Aurora", "Happy Worship", "Two Butterflies", "Summer Wind", "Jiangnan", "First Dream", "The Past You", "Flying Higher", "Sudden Self", "Lilac" and so on.

They are all classics.
  half a month later.

The crew of "Buried Alive" has officially started production.

Zhang Hanyu hired someone to help rent the filming equipment from Beijing Film Studio. Zhang Hanyu helped find the supporting cast and crew. Even the script of "Buried Alive" was able to pass the review quickly because of Zhang Hanyu's contribution.

He didn't know why Wang Shu insisted on renting equipment from Beijing Film Studio instead of renting from Huayi. Since Wang Shu made such a request, that was all he could do.

Zhang Hanyu's father is a photographer at Bayi Studio, and his mother is a staff member of the Intelligence Bureau. He is now an artist in Huayi.

He also has a nickname called Fu Biao, who won the 01 Golden Rooster Award for Best Supporting Actor.

In addition, when he was doing dubbing work in the same unit as Feng Xiaogang, he had a bit of a romantic relationship, and it was through this romantic relationship that he fell in love with Feng Xiaogang and became Feng Xiaogang's supporting role.

"Get ready, we're about to start shooting." Wang Shu sat in front of the camera and said hello.

Zhang Hanyu nodded and lay down in the coffin.

There are also some medical staff around to avoid accidents during the filming process and provide timely assistance.

The script "Buried Alive" is basically a scene where the protagonist lies alone in a coffin.

Although it is quite a test of the actors' acting skills, I have to admit that it is a story that can be filmed at a low cost.

A person, a coffin, a mobile phone, a flashlight, and a package.
  Just barely solved 9% of the scenery
  The scene is not big, so the investment is not big either.

Wang Shu chose the script "Buried Alive" to film and found Zhang Hanyu to star, which was very careful.

Because he only has 30W.

He couldn't afford big productions, so he could only think of ways to spend one penny as two cents.

For example, for a 2W salary, a tool man actor with some connections was hired.
  As the filming progressed, Zhang Hanyu's acting skills, which only played some minor supporting roles, were indeed average.

Fortunately, Wang Shu knew what effect he wanted for the film and began to train Zhang Hanyu repeatedly.

Seeing Wang Shu's shooting techniques and his control over the actors' performance direction, Zhang Hanyu became even more convinced that Wang Shu came from the University of Southern California.

It even feels like Wang Shu is not only from the University of Southern California, but also a top student at the University of Southern California.

He humbly accepted the teachings and allowed himself to be manipulated by Wang Shu.

"This script is very good, and it has a leading male lead. If it's done well, it's really possible to win a grand prize at an international film festival." Zhang Hanyu repeatedly hypnotized himself in his heart.

After his business failed, he had no choice but to return to his old business. At this time, he was already middle-aged.

Feeling the strange eyes around him, he held his breath in his heart, and then set foot in the entertainment industry at the suggestion of his wife.

Until now, I have only played some small supporting roles.

He is not young anymore and has accomplished nothing, which makes him even more stressed.

He desires success.

"Take a break before shooting again." Wang Shu saw that Zhang Hanyu was in a bad state and ordered to stop shooting.

Zhang Hanyu took a breath and said with firm eyes: "Director, continue, I can still persist."

Wang Shu rolled his eyes, thinking that he could still persist, but I was afraid of getting into trouble.

You are over forty and your life is halfway through.

And he is only 18 years old this year and still has great years ahead of him. “Take a rest and shoot again later.” Wang Shu said without any doubt.

Zhang Hanyu was stunned for a moment, and finally nodded helplessly.

In fact, Wang Shu was also anxious.

If the filming doesn't go well, the crew will have to keep running.

Although it is just a grassroots team, as long as the team is not disbanded, there will be an expense every day.

I don’t have much money on hand, so I have to set aside some funds for emergencies.

He really couldn't be delayed. If he was delayed for too long, he would go bankrupt.

Sitting on a small stool, in order to relieve the irritability in his heart, his thoughts were wandering.

At this moment, filming of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" starring Liu Yifei and Hu Ge should be in full swing, and it will be another classic within the future.

Liu Tianxian, she is pure and cute at this time. In addition, her father is a foreign worker and has some friends in China. Liu Tianxian is one of the few relatively clean actresses in the entertainment industry.

Wasn't Zhang Mo's ex-girlfriend willing to let the school director find out just so that she could go out to act in school?
  In a few months, Shinhwa will start filming, and it will feature Kim Hee San, the most beautiful woman in South Korea.

At this time, Jin Xishan was only 27 years old and very smooth.

I wonder if eldest brother understands her depth?
  Wang Shu looked at Zhang Hanyu lying in the coffin through the camera screen, calling him "ka" from time to time.

He was waiting to take this film to an international film festival to compete for a grand prize, so how could he just fool him?
  In the process, more and more of his directing skills were revealed.

Zhang Hanyu was surprised in his heart. Is the University of Southern California so powerful? How come a student has such a profound foundation?

Is this the reason for the huge gap between China and Hollywood?

The more skilled Wang Shu is, the more confident he will be in the film.

The more confident he is in the film, the more he wants to play the role well.

Therefore, he was even more willing to obey Wang Shu's mercy, and he would act however Wang Shu asked him to act.

I didn’t perform well, and I deeply blamed myself.

After more than twenty days of arduous filming, "Buried Alive" finally came to an end.

Wang Shu breathed a sigh of relief and treated Zhang Hanyu and the crew to a meal at a nearby farmhouse and then dispersed.

Next, he will rent the editing room of Beijing Film Studio to edit "Buried Alive" into a film.

The reason why he was successfully hired to edit the film in the Beijing Film Studio's editing room was thanks to Zhang Hanyu's connections.

Originally, Zhang Hanyu suggested that Wang Shu go to Huayi to edit the film, but he was rejected again.

Seeing that Wang Shu still had to go to Beijing Film Studio, he had no choice but to help as much as he could.

Wang Shu couldn't help but sigh, the 2W salary was well spent.

On July 7, Wang Shu breathed out a sigh of relief.

After a week of hard work in the editing room of Beijing Film Studio, "Buried Alive" was finally completed.

After staying here for so long, he has never met the person who ignored him many times when he was squatting in the corner of the Beijing Film Studio to take jobs.

"Maybe the other party is not here at Beijing Film Studio right now."

Wang Shu thought about it for a moment. When Zhang Hanyu helped him rent equipment from Beijing Film Studio to find someone, he didn't see that person. He must have gone to other places with a certain crew.

He was quite sorry, he thought he could meet again.

After going back and doing some calculations, I found that the deadline for feature film registration at the Berlin International Film Festival is November, which is almost 11 months away from the deadline.

"We still have to ask Zhang Hanyu for help."

Wang Shu made up his mind that the protagonist of the movie is Zhang Hanyu, and he definitely didn't want to see the film he finally made unable to go to the Berlin Film Festival.

Self-registration is extremely troublesome in this era. You need to send sample films to film festivals. Mailing such things is difficult, and you may get stuck at some point on the road and not be able to send it.

Recommendations from personal connections are different.

After September every year, the film festival organizers will start a global film selection tour and hold talks with producers, organizations, distributors, etc. around the world.

At this time, if you have connections, you can hand the film directly to the film selection team, and the attention it will receive will be higher than if you sign up independently.

Wang Shu didn’t have any connections.

Therefore, he could only turn his attention to Zhang Hanyu.

Don’t say anything else.

Just ask Zhang Hanyu whether he wants to go to the Berlin Film Festival?
  Let’s just say that a person in his 40s who has achieved nothing in middle age and is still in the entertainment industry would like to try his hand at turning a bicycle into a motorcycle, right?
  Wang Shu thought.

he thinks.
