Chapter 636 Shooting - Give Up (Two in One)

What Li Sheng prepared for Ning Hao really gave Ning Hao a lot of confidence.

After watching the movie here, Li Shenghe took Ning Hao and Jiang Wen to leave. They thanked Cui Xinqin and said goodbye before leaving.

Li Sheng drove Ning Hao to Feihong Pictures with the film.

The film will be returned to the company for storage, and then sign up for the exhibition.

Li Sheng brought Ning Hao to Yu Dong's place, and Li Sheng said to Yu Dong.

"Manager Yu, let me take a look at Shasheng's box office records."

Yu Dong wondered, he had reported to Li Sheng all about the box office of the killing, so it didn't make sense to ask now.

Although doubtful, he still pulled out one from the folder on the desk, opened it, flipped through a few pages, and handed it over.

Li Sheng took it and looked at it, then threw it to Ning Hao.

Ning Hao took it questioningly, and when he saw it, he was stunned.

Now this film has been released for a week, and today is the eighth day.

In the previous seven days, none of the box office was less than 100 million.

It reached 130 million on the first day, and although it fell back in the next six days, it remained between 100 million and 110 million.

"What's going on here? Aren't they all scolding me!"

Yu Dong looked at Li Sheng and then at Ning Hao, but he didn't understand what the hell the two of them were doing.

It was Li Sheng who saw Yu Dong's question and explained it to Yu Dong.

"This guy reads a lot of newspapers now, and feels that the things he shoots are rubbish. People are scolding him, and he is super unconfident."

"So I took the original film to Nortel to hold a screening."

"It was hard to drag him back from the horns."

When Yu Dong heard that this was the case, he immediately shook his head with a broken smile.

Ning Hao was puzzled, "Why do you have this expression too!"

Yu Dong smiled and said nothing, but Li Sheng explained to him.

"First of all, you have to make sure that you are not making a bad movie!"

"Secondly, this movie now has all the conditions and elements that popular movies have."

"I wrote the script, it's good enough, is Jiang Wen Huang Lei enough?"

"Coupled with the fact that there is so much controversy outside about your play, there is now a topic of interest."

"If there is a topic, there will be controversy, and if there is controversy, there will be heat. If there is heat, are you afraid that no one will watch it?"

Yu Dong nodded and praised, "The boss is the boss, it's absolutely amazing, that's the reason!"

Li Sheng doesn't think so, what is this? In later generations, in order to gain some popularity before the release, even if it is self-defeating, some movies have to keep themselves at the top of the topic and the most popular words on the Internet.

How could it be like the current Ning Hao? He actually felt timid to put him on the cusp of this storm.

After all, it was the box office data and the cheers from Nortel students that gave Ning Hao a little confidence.

He finally nodded, "Well, I'm not trash, and neither are my works!"

Li Sheng bluntly said, "That's right!"

"Keep your own mentality. Now that you are just starting out, how can you continue to go on when you really become a well-known director in the country!"

"There are many people who are popular, you have to remember this truth!"

"Being yourself is more important than anything else!"

"As for the others, let them go!"

"Isn't there a famous saying that is good, follow the path of others, and let others have nowhere to go!"

Yu Dong and Ning Hao were taken aback when they heard Li Sheng's words, and then they smiled wryly and gestured for a thumbs up.

"Brilliant!"

Li Sheng waved his hand, "Okay, okay, stop flattering!"

"It's okay, I'll go back first."

Li Sheng said, he took two steps and then stopped to ask Yu Dong.

"How's the production going?"

Yu Dong replied, "You can turn it on anytime!"

Li Sheng nodded, "Alright then, contact the actors and get ready to start. I can't wait after being idle for so long."

Yu Dong nodded and said, "Okay!"

"Then I'll go back first." Li Sheng waved his hand, and then he really left.

……

Back home, Yu Feihong asked Li Shengdao, "How's it going?"

Li Sheng asked, "What happened?"

Yu Feihong replied, "Of course it's Ning Hao, didn't you take him to solve his psychological problems?"

Li Sheng said with a smile, "Oh, you don't even want to see who is in charge!"

Yu Feihong rolled his eyes at Li Sheng, "Look at your virtue!"

Li Sheng chuckled, thinking that filming was about to start, he hurriedly talked to Yu Feihong about it.

"Oh, by the way, sister, I guess the production crew will be starting up in the next few days!"

Yu Feihong froze for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, I can't wait!"

Li Sheng was immediately ashamed and speechless. Well, Brother Fei was still thinking about this movie and teased his father-in-law viciously!

……

On the next day, Yu Dong called and said that he had already communicated with the actors, and asked Li Sheng when the filming would start.

After thinking about it, Li Sheng decided to start tomorrow.

The filming location needs to have a villa, of course Li Sheng can also do it here, but Li Sheng is not willing.

Because many things in the house will be smashed according to the needs of the plot, Li Sheng doesn't want his house to be smashed to pieces.

The shooting location started in a villa in the Huairou film and television base.

On the day of shooting, everyone gathered here.

This is also the first time this crew has come together today.

Wang Jinsong and Baobao are relatively familiar. Only Li Qinqin is the first time to cooperate, but it seems that people are old at this age, so there is definitely no need for Li Sheng to worry about it.

The most suitable thing is that Wang Jinsong and Li Qinqin also know each other, so it will be easy.

The filming of this scene has not yet started, but the image has already won more than half of it.

Wang Jinsong was a shrunken old man without makeup at all. As for Li Qinqin's staring eyes, tsk tsk, what a shrew!

Now that everyone knows each other, it's easy to handle.

Li Sheng first greeted everyone.

"Thank you everyone for being able to participate in my play. We are old acquaintances, so I won't talk nonsense, and I am familiar with the script."

"This drama doesn't have high requirements for acting skills, but there is one thing, that is, this drama is a comedy. I hope to see something that you don't usually see in your performances!"

"Is it ok!"

Jiang Wu stretched out his hand to rub the beard on his chin, and smiled cheerfully. When he didn't speak, the baby also giggled.

Seeing this, Li Sheng was helpless, and spread his hands, "Get ready to start!"

The producer of the crew is still Jia Wen, and now he is basically Li Sheng's queen producer.

Jia Wen has been with Li Sheng for so long, and he is familiar with everything about Li Sheng, his habits, his rhythm, and the scenes have all been arranged in advance.

Because today’s gathering here is the villa for the final shooting, and it’s not appropriate to change the scene after everyone has come, so I started shooting directly from here.

That meant the story couldn't be filmed from the beginning.

Li Sheng wanted to participate in the performance and couldn't hold the phone, so he made a special call to bring Ning Hao over.

In case Ning Hao stays at home and reads the newspaper news, Li Sheng doesn't want to be a spiritual mentor for Ning Hao every day when he has nothing to do.

Ning Hao knew that Li Sheng was going to start filming a new film, but at that time he was only concerned about his own film, and had no time to learn about other things. It was also the first time he saw Li Sheng's script.

When he came and read Li Sheng's script, he was dumbfounded.

When I came here after putting on my makeup, I found Ning Hao was stunned in a daze.

"Well, hey, well! Are you starting to feel sad again?"

Li Sheng woke Ning Hao up, Ning Hao came back to his senses and shook his head.

"No, no!"

"I'm thinking about your script!"

Li Sheng was puzzled, "What's wrong with my script?"

Ning Hao stammered and stammered for a long time without uttering a single word.

Li Sheng curled his lips, and spit out two words angrily.

"Wonderful?"

Ning Hao nodded and shook his head again, "It's wonderful, but this story... tsk tsk, it's really not flattering!"

Li Sheng rolled his eyes, blame me!
"I'm going to make another film, but the capital investment is too big. I want Feihong Pictures to be solely owned, but Yu Dong objects, so I can only wait."

"You can completely regard this drama as being used to make money, to make quick money!"

Ning Hao was stunned, "Then aren't you overdrawing your reputation?"

Li Sheng spread his hands, "Why haven't you understood yet?"

"? What?" Ning Hao was stunned, but it turned out to be my fault.

Li Sheng sighed, "What was your first reaction after reading this script?"

Ning Hao thought for a while, and replied honestly, "I want to laugh!"

"Vulgar?" Li Sheng asked again.

Ning Hao nodded, "Yes!"

Li Sheng snapped his fingers, "That's enough. This is a real purely commercial Chinese-language movie. You can make money. You can enjoy it after watching it."

"What reflection, humanity, caring, nothing at all!"

In fact, let’s get rid of the father-in-law’s movie. In fact, it’s not too thoroughly commercial. Later Li Sheng has seen too many so-called purely commercial movies.

For example, Fatty Wang later went to Macau Fengyun, which was based on his old money, and Journey to the West III X Bone Demon produced by China Star, etc., it is really empty.

In addition to the brilliant special effects piled up by special effects technology, there are only a couple of big names from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan left, and the rest, sorry, we have nothing else.

Ning Hao was deep in thought, but Li Sheng didn't give him time to think, so he reached out and patted his shoulder.

"Okay, you, don't think about it, be practical and be an assistant director for me, and there will be opportunities for you to study in the future!"

Ning Hao took a deep breath, "Yes!"

……

Ning Hao, Wang Jinsong, Jiang Wu, Bao Bao, these are all people who have cooperated with Li Sheng many times, and they are very familiar with Li Sheng's routines and rhythms.

On the first day, as usual, run-in, run-in the whole crew.

Perhaps because of familiarity, it went smoothly.

The only problem was Li Sheng and Yu Feihong.

In the evening, the sky darkened a little, and the curtains were drawn.

The scene to be filmed was the bed scene between Li Sheng and Yu Feihong, and then Wang Jinsong was under the bed, Li Sheng knew about it, but Yu Feihong did not.

Ok!

Yu Feihong knew that Wang Jinsong was under the bed, and there was a camera hanging beside him, the two of them were so happy!

Yu Feihong laughed first, and then Li Sheng, you come and go, this scene can't continue.

In fact, it wasn't just the two of them, Jiang Wu's baby Ning Hao and the others couldn't help laughing while watching.

Smiling and laughing, Ning Hao suddenly stopped smiling, and he suddenly realized something.

He seemed to suddenly understand what Li Sheng had just said to him.

What exactly is the purpose and goal of a movie?

Art?no no!
To entertain the masses?It seems to be, and it seems not to be!

When he first saw Li Sheng's script, he really wanted to laugh, but now it seems that it is indeed the case, yes, he wants to laugh, he really wants to laugh.

He suddenly remembered the so-called commercialization that Li Sheng said, catering to the audience, and also remembered a sentence he said when he first met Li Sheng.

I made a movie, you watched it, I laughed, you laughed, and I succeeded.

……

Sometimes, realm is like a layer of barrier that cannot be seen or touched, and it would be gone without him.

Everyone laughed all the time in this scene today, and the filming couldn't continue, so we had to call it a day.

After going back to each house, Li Sheng and Yu Feihong stopped by for a meal on the way back and got ready to rest.

……

Los Angeles, which has not had a sunny day for a long time, finally ushered in the first sunny day in the past half month.

Mr. Zhou finished class and school as usual, walked on the street, and walked slowly back to his home.

Open the door, turn on the lights, turn on the computer.

Now she has completely calmed down, and she is slowly adapting to the current life, like a lake, calm and unwavering.

After turning on the computer, she opened her email and took a look, only to find that there was a new email in it.

She opened it curiously, her expression changed slightly, and she endured and continued to read.

This was sent to her by Song Ke. Song Ke told Mr. Zhou that Li Sheng was about to get engaged, and asked her to study with peace of mind and stop thinking about it.

There are also two songs included.

Mr. Zhou downloaded them and opened them curiously.

我们 哭 了
we are smiling
We look up at the sky

The stars are still bright
我们 唱 着
时间 的 歌
才 懂得 相互 拥抱

到底 是 为了 什么

because i just met you
……

Li Sheng's voice sounded, Mr. Zhou just sat there in a daze, listening, listening.

Listening, she suddenly smiled, very happy, very happy...

Slowly she raised her head and looked at the ceiling. She felt a heat on her face, and two lines of tears slowly flowed from the corners of her eyes, flowed down her cheeks, and fell on her shoulders.

It took a long, long time until the song was over before Mr. Zhou came back to his senses and wiped the corners of his eyes with his hand.

She reached out and opened the drawer, then took out the notebook, opened it, and picked up the pen.

"Today is the only sunny day in half a month. I was in a good mood."

"But I'm not happy now. I want you to be by my side, and I want you to coax me, but I know it's impossible."

"I turned on the computer, and I received an email, I know you are getting engaged, I know you will get married in the future, but the bride is not me."

"You know what? I'm so tired!"

"Really, I really want to tell you, I really want to give up..."

"The future will be indefinite, maybe you have already given me the answer!"

……

"pat, pat..."

The notebook was slowly wet with tears, and the ink was soaked in a few spots and discolored, just like a memory...
