Chapter 75 The movie starts! Tyrant on set! [Recommendation votes will be added]
“Let’s get started.”
In the conference room, the creative team had already arrived. Zhou Yutang knocked on the table and spoke first.
The heroine is Liu Shishi, and Zhao Liying is sitting next to Shi Shi. She plays the second female lead, the heroine’s classmate and best friend.
Zhu Yilong plays Cao Guosheng, Zhang Ruojun plays Xu Bochun, and Lei Datou, who has a sense of joy, plays Liao Yinghong. He was selected through an audition based on his strength.
The male lead also has a fat best friend, Xie Minghe, but he couldn't find a suitable candidate in the audition. In the end, he found Hao Shaowen through connections in the Tang Dynasty. Such a special actor who has a non-aggressive appearance and is easy to make people feel friendly at first glance is really unbelievable. It's easy to find. Hao Shaowen made his debut as a child actor. He performed very well in "Oolong Yuan" that year and his acting skills were no problem.
None of these actors are big names.
Except for Zhou Yutang, who is the biggest celebrity, with a salary of 800,000 yuan, the heroine Liu Shishi only received a salary of 250,000 yuan. The rest, Zhao Liying, Lei Jiayin and others are not well-known, and Zhang Ruojun and Zhu Yilong are even more famous. Needless to say, the total sum is not even 100,000.
The entire film has a total investment of 10 million.
Actors' remuneration has been reduced to a minimum, and the remaining money is spent where it should be spent.
Zhou Yutang stood up first and talked about the theme of the script for a while.
The story is simple.
It tells the story of the high school life of the male protagonist Zhou Ziyu and his gay friends. They all like the beautiful and well-behaved girl in the class at the same time.
They are ordinary high school students, they are ignorant and ignorant, but they are full of yearning for love.
I hope to be with the person I like, but I have tried every means I thought was effective to express my love, and in the end no one really pursued that girl.
The whole story does not have the classic trio of car accidents, amnesia, and cancer that have become popular in romance dramas in recent years.
It is just a simple and beautiful story, telling about the lost but slightly regretful youth, and the main theme is the truth.
"If you have anything you want to say, you can speak freely."
Zhou Yutang stood up and set the tone for the entire film. After sitting down, he felt that everyone was still a little bit reluctant to let go. He directly clicked Zhang Ruojun’s name.
The guy scratched his head and instantly showed a husky smile: "Well, director, the script is very good, but there is one point. Why is it not a happy ending in the end?"
"Have you chased the goddess of your youth?"
Zhou Yutang asked with a smile.
Zhang Ruojun was stunned for a moment and shook his head.
Everyone here is thoughtful.
They understood what Zhou Yutang wanted to express.
Youth is like a beautiful but regretful poem.
This sentence written at the beginning of the script is the answer.
He started the process, and then the actors present chatted one by one about their understanding of the script and the characters, and then followed Zhou Yutang's ideas to deepen the emotions of the characters they assumed.
Everyone did it according to their own script.
Zhou Yutang is also observing.
Generally speaking, the others performed quite well, but Lei Jiayin made Zhou Yutang look at her a few more times.
The professionalism he displayed was clearly a level higher than others.
This big guy was admitted to the Magic City Drama Center with the first place last year.
It is indeed something.
The script study meeting ended, and the production of "Those Years" officially started the next day.
Zhou Yutang didn't do any gimmicks like press conferences. He just returned from activities in South Korea and his popularity has skyrocketed. There is already a lot of news about the movie he directed and starred in that is about to start filming.
When the exposure is sufficient, there is no need to over-market in the early stage. Publicity and distribution in the later stage is the key.
However.
Despite this, many media reporters spontaneously came to the shooting scene.
Zhou Yutang arranged for Li Shuang to deal with it, and then turned around and started the official shooting.
A school in Beijing.
The shooting scene.
Problems arose before filming even started.
Zhou Yutang directed the field staff to move the tables and chairs in the classroom: "Move this desk out and go to the warehouse to find it again. I want it to look older, and the chairs too..."
"Director Zhou, is this necessary? My brothers have already moved three times. Is it almost OK?"
A fat man named Zhang Hai was complaining next to him.
He has a shiny slicked-back hair, a lot of flesh on his face, and a belly as round as a ball. His shirt is tucked into his trousers with difficulty, and he holds a crocodile leather bag in his hand. He looks a bit like a popular successful person these days. .
This is the artistic director of the crew.
“Didn’t you hear what I said clearly?”
Zhou Yutang looked at him coldly.
Zhang Hai's eyes were rolling around, and he was also looking at Zhou Yutang's expression.
The two people seemed to be having a silent confrontation.
"Do as I say."
Zhou Yutang held the walkie-talkie and said calmly to Zhang Hai: "Do you need me to repeat the request again? Older desks and chairs. It requires a sense of time.”
“Okay, Director Zhou, I’ll arrange it.”
Zhang Hai opened his mouth and wanted to say more, but when he saw Zhou Yutang's expression, he felt a chill in his heart for no reason. After all, he did not choose to be tough and went to work in despair.
"The arrangement was made by Guang Guang. I heard it was the brother-in-law of a senior management over there, a bastard."
Senior Brother Lin Liang said softly beside Zhou Yutang.
"Ignore him and keep doing things."
Zhou Yutang glanced and saw a petite figure busy diligently in front of the blackboard. He was a little surprised and said: "Zhao Liying, what are you doing? What?”
"Director Zhou."
Zhao Liying held a blackboard newspaper material book in her hand, with a smile on her face: "I don't have a role today, and I have nothing to do, so I will write the blackboard newspaper according to your request. I used to be in school. The teachers all asked me to write blackboard newspapers. "
The first half of "Those Years" mainly takes place in high school. There are not many outdoor scenes. It is basically done in the classroom, so the choice of this shooting location is very important.
The background setting is a high school in the late 1990s. We cannot create a brand-new classroom that is too modern. This shooting location was also carefully selected by Zhou Yutang.
In the classroom.
On the right side of the blackboard are always written the class schedule for tomorrow and the struggle slogan: The rudder of destiny is struggle. Don’t have any illusions, don’t give up any opportunity, and don’t stop working hard every day!
At this time, there are still XXX days until the college entrance examination.
This shocking XXX is counting down every day.
The same is true for the blackboard newspaper where Zhao Liying is busy.
It’s full of details.
"Yeah."
Zhou Yutang glanced at her one more time.
Don’t mention it, Miss Zhao’s handwriting is really good.
However, he didn't pay attention and turned around to discuss the shooting plan with Lin Yufen and Wen Muye.
…………………………
There was a slight situation on the first day. After setting up the scene, there were no shooting tasks.
Liu Shishi and Zhao Liying finished work early and returned to the hotel.
The two girls lived in the same room. After washing, they sat together and chatted.
Zhao Liying hugged her legs and said with lingering fear: "Hey, when we first met, I felt that Director Zhou was very kind. I didn't expect that his temper would be so terrible."
"You What to call him?”
"Director Zhou."
Zhao Liying was slightly startled and blurted out.
"Yeah, it's okay, that's a good title."
Liu Shishi applied some skin care lotion essence on the back of her delicate white hands, and the corners of her mouth curved softly.
Miss Zhao on the side is still talking about Zhou Yutang losing his temper today.
She was right there and it felt intuitive.
That kind of anger is not the kind of anger that erupts like a volcano.
Even Zhou Yutang’s speaking voice was low and calm, revealing elegance and gentleness.
But with his calm and indifferent expression and eyes, it can make people feel hairy in their hearts and make them feel like there is a light on their backs. The art director Zhang Hai immediately gave up.
“Zhou Yutang did it on purpose.”
Liu Shishi applied skin care products on his face and took the time to say something.
The sun in August and September is really poisonous, especially since her skin is tender and sensitive. She will get sunburned if she is not careful. The first thing she does when she comes back from work is skin care.
Sometimes she envied Zhou Yutang. She never saw how he took care of his skin, but his skin was very good.
"Shi Shi, you mean..."
Miss Zhao was also a thoughtful girl. She was slightly stunned for a moment, and then she quickly came to her senses.
"You mean, Director Zhou acted like this on purpose, right? I think there's something wrong with this art director. He has several people under his command who are more powerful than the director. Let me tell you, he even came to me and hinted I want me to please him..."
"Xiaoying, what's going on?"
Liu Shishi's delicate little face became serious and he put down his hand. Regarding the matter, he sat next to Zhao Liying.
“Shi Shi, don’t be nervous.”
Little girl Zhao felt a little touched, and said with a smile: “I have been in several film crews, and I still have experience. I would have noticed something was wrong with others, Of course I didn’t agree, so I asked Director Zhou to help me, and then ran to the classroom to help. “If you encounter this kind of thing in the future, don’t ignore him. Tell Zhou Yutang and he will definitely handle it.”
Liu Shishi breathed a sigh of relief. After thinking about it, he still felt uneasy. He picked up his phone and sent Zhou Yutang a message.
"Yeah! I think he must have wanted to fool people when he saw that our Director Zhou was young and was not serious in doing things. Unexpectedly, Director Zhou didn't tolerate him at all, but when Boss Zhou got angry , The aura is really strong, super handsome!"
After talking a lot, Zhao Liying crossed her legs and asked excitedly: "Shi Shi, you are so awesome, how did you know that Director Zhou deliberately made this move? Temperful?”
“Uh.”
Liu Shishi put down the phone and continued to pat his little face: "Because he and I have just worked together on the Fairy Sword crew. Zhou Yutang is usually very talkative. He is calm and doesn't get angry easily."
“Even if he loses his temper, he has a purpose. I have observed it secretly. After he lost his temper today, the entire crew has become much calmer and more focused on their work. "
"It seems to be true! This is to establish prestige, but if it were me, I would be angry. How much money did Director Zhou invest to bring this crew together? The wind must be suppressed, otherwise how can the crew continue filming!"
Miss Zhao stretched out her white little hand and made a gesture of waving a knife, with that very cute little bun? His face, but he deliberately made a fierce and serious expression, which looked really weird and cute.
Liu Shishi was struck by the cuteness and said with a smile: "Xiaoying, you are quite impressive. Work hard to become a big star in the future. You can also train others."
Miss Zhao scratched her head and said with a smile: "Well, Shi Shi, you are better. Director Zhou is so talented. He wrote the script for this movie. He is also the leading actor. If you play the female lead, you will definitely be popular. "
"Let's work hard together!"
Liu Shishi looked in the mirror, with a gentle smile on his quiet little face.
……
The next day.
When Liu Shishi and Zhao Liying came to the set, they were shocked to find out.
The artistic director Zhang Hai and several of his people disappeared from the crew of "Those Years".
“Do you know? Director Zhou kicked the artistic director Zhang Hai.”
“I heard that I had a few arguments with Director Zhou yesterday.”
“ Director Zhou is really awesome. The people sent by Guangguang are just as good as they say. They are simply tyrants!”
"Khan! Brother, lower your voice, don't you know that Director Zhou is an investor?"
"Oh, that's okay."
…………………………………………< br>
The people below were discussing excitedly early in the morning.
A few big people in the crew had fun overnight, which is somewhat of a big news.
However, they also experienced Zhou Yutang's temper. They really couldn't tolerate sand in their eyes, and they couldn't help but feel a little more respectful in their hearts.
Actually, Zhou Yutang just spoke, and Li Xiaoping moved her hands directly.
Li Xiaoping is ruthless in what she does.
Yesterday, she was still out of town and could not arrive at the scene. She received the news from Zhou Yutang in the evening and came to the crew in the morning as the first thing she did.
Just kick people.
Then have a meeting.
The purpose of the meeting is clear.
This is Zhou Yutang's crew. He is the biggest power center on this set.
Zhou Yutang has the final say in everything.
Li Xiaoping is the producer and the big housekeeper of this crew. If she doesn't want to stay, she will ask her to leave. Those who are left behind must cooperate with Zhou Yutang.
Anyone who dares to fool around will end up like that art director, even if he has a background!
It is still useful to kill chickens to scare monkeys.
Zhou Yutang clearly felt that the cohesion of the entire crew has improved, and the most direct result is the improvement of the shooting progress.
Officially started shooting.
Let’s start with the easy-to-shoot scenes first, and then move on to the more difficult shots.
The plot of the first scene was very simple.
In a Chinese class.
Zhou Yutang, Zhang Ruojun, and Zhu Yilong were playing poker during class. They were discovered by the Chinese teacher and reported to the head teacher played by Zhang Songwen. They were called outside the classroom and severely criticized. Finally, Liu Jiayi was The top student sat in the back seat of Zhou Yutang, which promoted the development of the entire story.
Zhang Songwen stood on the podium and gave a lecture: "Everyone will follow the rhythm of high school classes later."
"OK!"
The students in the classroom replied readily.
Zhou Yutang’s classmates are basically film school students who came to make guest appearances.
Chen Weidong, Peng Guanying, and Gao Ye, who were in the same class as Zhou Yutang, were all there. Several senior students from the previous Da Mi Mi dormitory, as well as Zhang Meng, Jiao Junyan, and others also came to make guest appearances.
They are all acting majors, so they still have some professional qualities.
"Yu Tang, Ruojun, you have to remember that this paragraph should be a little exaggerated, especially Yu Tang, you were cynical at the beginning."
Teacher Zhang Songwen taught the drama very carefully and carefully.
He is also a performance coach. In order to grasp the details of this play, he went to a high school in advance to observe the students in class for two full months!
"How about this?"
Zhou Yutang adjusted slightly. His original calm and steady temperament was gone, and a look of high-spirited youth appeared on his face.
At first glance, he looks like the kind of student who is naughty and careless and only wants to have fun but not learn well.
"Very good, this is the feeling I want!"
Zhang Songwen was very satisfied.
Lin Yufen and Wen Muye, as well as the director of photography and other crew members, were also amazed by Zhou Yutang's talent.
Zhao Liying couldn't help but stretched out her little hand and rubbed her eyes.
She really felt the magic of acting.
Zhou Yutang, who originally had a calm demeanor, instantly turned into an out of character high school student.
After talking about this scene, Lin Yufen and Wenwu were behind the surveillance mirror, communicating with each team to prepare for the test shoot:
"Lighting team, sound recording team, photography team, how are you preparing? ?”
“Ready, director.”
“OK, ready to start.”
"Scene, quiet, 3, 2, 1, first shot of the second scene of the movie "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years", first time, start!"
The record slapped, 3 The camera of camera No. 1 was aimed at the classroom.
Light female host Xie Nan guest-starred as a Chinese teacher and walked up to the podium holding teaching materials.
“Hello, teacher!”
“Hello, classmates, today we are talking about.”
The camera switches and the camera pans, presenting a very real Chinese lesson.
The fan rotates leisurely.
Some people were spinning their pens, some were looking at the blackboard, some were reading textbooks, some were taking notes seriously, and some were looking out the window, gradually feeling empty.
At this time, the camera of camera No. 1 was switched, and Zhou Yutang, Zhang Ruojun, and Zhu Yilong, who were sitting at the back, appeared on the screen.
Zhou Yutang smiled wildly and openly on his sunny and handsome face. He winked with his best friends, made eye contact with them, and then played poker under the desk.
A typical bad student who doesn't want to make progress and is found in every class.
It is as if the Chinese teacher on the podium does not exist, and a few people are sitting in the back row playing poker unscrupulously.
Suddenly.
Zhang Ruojun touched a good hand, slapped his thigh happily, and couldn't help but roared: "yes!"
"Xu Bochun, stand up, you can read the next paragraph .”
The short-haired Xie Nan still had a dignified expression on his face. He put down the textbook in his hand and couldn't bear it anymore.
Zhang Ruojun hurriedly stuffed the cards into the desk, lowering his head and not daring to answer.
He wears a rustic wig on his head and a pair of thick glasses, giving him the image of a sultry nerd.
Zhou Yutang, who was sitting next to him, lowered his head and snickered when he saw his best friend was in embarrassment.
“Zhou Ziyu, what are you laughing at?”
Xie Nan knocked on the podium table and said majestically: "You come and read the paragraph I just read."
"The falling clouds and the solitary swans fly together, and the autumn water is the same color as the sky."
Zhou Yutang stood up reluctantly, muttering, but the playing cards contained in the textbook accidentally flew out.
The whole class was in an uproar.
“Crack!”
Lin Yufen shouted stop.
Zhou Yutang went behind the monitor and took a look. After communicating with Lin Yufen and Wen Muye, he roughly knew where the problem was.
"Everyone take a rest, Ruojun, come here."
"."
Zhang Ruojun walked over with a rustic pot lid on his head and scratched it Scratching his head, a little embarrassed: "I didn't perform well just now."
"It's not a big problem. Don't be too nervous. Relax. Think about how rebellious you were in high school. You can exaggerate your expressions a little. Let's do it again."
Zhou Yutang chuckled.
Actually, the video I just took was above the passing mark.
But he is demanding it according to the standards of a fine movie, so many details must be as perfect as possible!
