I Just Want to Copy Books in Peace

After dinner, everyone went back to their respective homes. Du Caige found a chauffeur. On the way back, he kept thinking about a question: He holds 6% of the founding Chinese website, but why didn’t he get dividends last year?

Of course, it is also possible that the dividends were paid to his other bank cards.

Zhizhen Culture was changed hands by the original owner, but what about the copyrights of those comics?

After May 1st, I must go to Chen Quan immediately to try to retrieve my memory. Maybe I can find the small vault hidden by the original owner.

After returning home, he slept for a while, and then took a taxi to Huayu to see Jiang Youxi's recording.

It's still not ideal, but progress is noticeable.

Du Caige taught him for a long time, and when it was about dinner time, Liu Zifei called and said that a shooting location had been found.

So fast?

Liu Zifei said with a smile on the phone: Zhang Guodong's family has relatives who are in real estate. There are many connections in this area, and he quickly found a suitable place for the scene. I took a picture and showed it to me, I think it is not bad. Then I also contacted. If you are a person, you can buy a large locust tree that meets your requirements.

Buy? Du Caige said, Is it too expensive, is the fund enough? Can't you rent it?

Liu Zifei smiled happily: This... Transplanted here and there, the big locust tree is probably very difficult to survive, and people won't let it. As for the money, don't worry, it's enough.

Buy a large locust tree that meets our requirements by tens of thousands! Otherwise, let's try post-production special effects in this regard.

Also, but I'm afraid Han Yi can't do this. I'll ask my classmates right away. When are you coming to see the field?

Du Caige thought for a while, Just tomorrow morning, if it's okay after reading it, do some other preparatory work tomorrow, start shooting the day after tomorrow, and try to finish it in one day, after all, there are only so many scenes. As for the part in the north, you will lead the people. Let's go shooting, I'm quite busy here. After all the shots are done, I'll take time to edit.

Can.

The next morning, Du Caige drove and picked up Liu Zifei first.

What made him a little strange was that Liu Zifei lived in the hotel, not her parents' house.

Why, did you quarrel with your parents? Du Caige asked when driving to the demolition site.

Yeah. Liu Zifei smiled lightly, her expression showing that she was resisting the topic. She didn't say anything, and looked out the car window.

Du Caige couldn't figure it out, and felt that as his own identity, he shouldn't be asking questions.

After a while, Liu Zifei took the initiative to say, I asked my classmates yesterday, if the big locust tree is added in the post-production to ensure the effect is realistic, the cheapest company will charge tens of thousands more.

Du Caige couldn't help turning his head to look at her.

She was wearing dark stain-resistant clothes, a baseball cap, and a ponytail today, looking very capable.

The image of the whole person is not the same as before.

Maybe when she filmed Time by herself before, this was the case?

However, this is not enough.

Sitting in the director's chair, holding a guide tube, you don't care about your gender.

Sitting in that chair has only one identity: the director.

Nothing else matters.

Whether you are a man or a woman, whether you are beautiful or not, how much you weigh, whether you have bad breath...it doesn't matter.

Du Caige has seen many female directors, and they may show the feminine side on weekdays, but as long as they appear on the set, they will deliberately blur their gender.

After thinking for a while, he said: Otherwise, the big locust tree is no longer needed. When we were shooting, we put a stump there. Finally, when we picked up the bell and looked back, we made an ink-wash version of the big locust tree there. , a few seconds of the picture is enough, and then the ink painting scroll is unfolded, what do you think of this artistic conception?

Liu Zifei thought about it for a while, then blinked: It feels more like taking a stump than taking a picture of a big locust tree. The big locust tree, like the courtyard house, is a symbol of traditional culture. Now that the courtyard is gone, the big locust tree is the same. There's no reason to stay there.

Actually, there are not so many reasons. There is only one reason: to save money. Since you agree, let's do it this way.

When they got there, Du Caige looked around carefully.

It was very different from the scene in Chen Wuji's version of The Depths of a Hundred Flowers in his mind.

However, I can shoot.

Anyway, he didn't want to copy Chen Wuji's.

That's it, it's settled. If the preparations can be done today, shooting can start tomorrow. Have all the actors been found?

I found it, including Mr. Feng's actors, and they can come the day after tomorrow. I will definitely prepare for the preparations today. Even if I don't sleep tonight, I will ensure that the shooting will start smoothly tomorrow morning.

Du Caige gave her a deep look: Then shoot tomorrow.

...

No. 1 machine is OK!

The second machine is OK!

The lights are OK!

Props OK!

The actor is in place!

Du Caige clapped his hands: The seventh scene, one shot, the first time. The scene is marked, start!

The small crew immediately fell silent, performing their duties and operating in an orderly manner.

A half-new van drove in, and before it stopped, the actor Ouyang Liyan who played Mr. Feng couldn't wait to open the door and jumped down, shouting, It's here, it's here!

He quickly closed the car door and ran forward with a slightly comical pace, and several actors who played porters got out of the car one after another.

Du Caige frowned slightly. He felt that the actions of these actors getting out of the car were not right. It was not like that, and closing the car door was too gentle.

But he didn't shout ka, let's pat it first.

The camera follows Ouyang Liyan's back.

Ouyang Liyan quickly climbed onto the earthen platform and shouted, This is the depths of a hundred flowers!

Okay, let's go! Du Caige shouted.

The entire crew felt a sigh of relief.

In fact, Ouyang Liyan's performance just now was not without flaws, but Du Caige felt that if he wanted to finish filming in one day, he should not be too critical.

It's not that I was sent to Cannes to participate in the competition, but I was just participating in the draft of a second-tier film company. Do I need to strive for excellence?

It is not Du Caige's hasty attitude towards art.

Rather, being a person must know when to be truthful and when to turn a blind eye.

People who don't know how to be flexible are very suitable to be the protagonists in novels and film and television works. Such people have a very unique charm, persistence, singleness, and purity.

But in real life, it's hard to do.

If Du Caige is now facing a movie that is ready to be released and is facing the audience, even if it is only a small investment of 1 million, he will be serious about 5 million, and he must be worthy of the audience's movie ticket and worthy of the investment. people.

But now, everyone is shooting a short film like a ticket. In fact, everyone has their own work, and only one or two days to shoot.

At this time, it is too impersonal to strive for perfection and focus on details. There is no need to be a tyrant on the set here.

However, in the next filming process, Du Caige raised a little bit of requirements.

However, Zhang Guodong's acting skills are still a bit immature, and the other extras who play the role of porters have no acting skills at all.

Du Caige could only make appropriate adjustments, reducing Zhang Guodong's frontal appearances and giving more shots to Ouyang Liyan.

This saves time and cost as much as possible.

In Chen Wuji's version of The Depths of a Hundred Flowers, Mr. Feng Yuanzheng, who plays the madman Mr. Feng, is a well-known old drama player. He has left very classic works in film and television works such as Don't Talk to Strangers and If You Are the One. image.

His performance of the madman Mr. Feng is naturally very good.

However, his personal image, after putting on make-up, looks a bit penetrating.

And this Mr. Ouyang Liyan is a teacher of the Magic Shadow Performance Department. He can be said to be quite handsome, so when he plays the crazy Mr. Feng, he has another taste, a sense of abruptness, contradiction, very interesting.

But after filming for a while, Du Caige found that the main camera Feng Hao could not capture the characteristics of Ouyang Liyan very well. After two clicks, he simply kicked Feng Hao away and went to the camera himself.

This Mr. Ouyang Liyan's performance is more inclined to stage performance, which is exaggerated and has very little experience on the big screen.

In the previous introduction, he said that he only ran a few tricks.

But it is precisely this exaggerated stage performance that Du Caige thinks is very suitable to play Mr. Feng.

Mr. Feng is a lunatic.

Du Caige doesn't need him to play a lunatic in life, a very realistic lunatic, or an atypical and very characteristic lunatic.

And I hope he plays the image of a lunatic in public perception.

Crazy, dancing, coupled with his original handsome appearance, the strong sense of disobedience formed a huge visual conflict, which was really eye-catching.

Du Caige has a feeling that, aside from everything else, it's just Mr. Feng's performance, and the version he made is likely to surpass Chen Wuji's version.

Du Caige became more and more excited as he shot, and didn't even want to stop.

But everyone needs to rest.

At one o'clock, the lunch box arrived.

Du Caige casually brought a lunch box and squatted aside to eat, sorting out his thoughts while eating, how to strive to finish all the shots that should be shot before dark.

The scene to be filmed in this scene, the final editing is only 6 minutes to 6 and a half minutes.

But in order to make the film in about 6 minutes, the material needed must be several times as much.

And Du Caige doesn't want to overlap too much with Chen Wuji's version. Although no one in this world will know about it, he has to pass his own level first.

So it's not easy to shoot.

Ouyang Liyan came to Liu Zifei with a lunch box. Liu!

Liu Zifei was explaining something to Feng Hao, and when she saw Ouyang Liyan, she stood up straight and said hello: Mr. Yang, you worked so hard today! Thank you so much, your praise is really good!

Haha, what is this hard work? I should thank you for having such an interesting experience. Let's chat for a while?

OK.

After walking a few words to the side, Liu Zifei adjusted her bangs, which were a little loose.
