Chapter 4 A new journey

The current RMB 170,000 is not enough, and the solution is quite simple. If you can’t make a 90-minute feature film, then make a 60-minute short film.

If the zombie theme cannot be used, then the kung fu theme will be used. It will still be a long shot of killing and killing, and the content is similar.

The biggest difficulty of the original film was the thirty-seven-minute long shot. They rehearsed for several months and shot it six times before completing it. This took too long.

Rong Guang doesn’t have that much time to waste. But if he doesn’t rehearse proficiently, he won’t be able to complete the long shot.

So what should we do? In the same way, shorten the duration of the long shot. Shorten it to more than 10 minutes. In this way, both the difficulty of rehearsal and shooting will be reduced exponentially. It may be completed in less than a few days.

As for the heroine, it's simpler, just change it. It's originally a reversal drama, and the heroine suddenly changes in the middle, which is also a reversal plot.

In this way, all existing resources can be integrated, and even those waste films can be used.

First use the 200 minutes of waste film to edit a short film of more than 20 minutes. Then use the remaining empty film to shoot a long shot of more than 10 minutes. Finally, shoot a new short film of 60 minutes. If all edited together

, isn’t it just a 90-minute feature film?

After a rough calculation, including post-production, 170,000 is barely enough.

In addition, the shooting period can also be compressed to the shortest, no more than ten days at most. With post-production, it can be completed before the Spring Festival. Otherwise, a long Spring Festival holiday may drag on for more than half a month.

Rongguang also couldn't afford to waste time. If he completed the sale one day earlier, he would be able to go home and treat his parents one day earlier.

The changed plot becomes like this:

A new director (actor, played by Rong Guang) who had just graduated and was preparing to shoot a self-written and self-acted Kung Fu short film found an investor and started shooting the film.

Then the crew was also in disarray, with all sorts of glitches appearing. But halfway through the filming, the investor was a fake young man, and suddenly he heard that long shots represented artistry, so he had to ask the new director to add him.

The new director was helpless and had no choice but to accept this very retarded suggestion. Moreover, if he was shooting a long shot, he would not have enough funds, so he could only succeed once.

And the negative consequences of the crew's disorganization also broke out. The heroine was replaced midway through her affair, and other actors also encountered various situations. In order to achieve the goal, the other actors continued to adapt to changes...

The new director knew in his heart that the film had already been shot, and it must be a bad movie. But he still cried and shouted unwillingly with tears in his eyes - it must be completed!

With the concerted efforts of everyone, especially with the continuous encouragement of the new heroine, we finally completed this long shot and completed this bad Kung Fu movie!

Although it was a bad movie, the hero and heroine finally got together happily and gained sweet love.



Compared with the original movie, the overall structure and content are relatively similar. It is also a big bad movie at the beginning, and the plot is reversed at the end.

But there are some small logical problems. But there is no way to solve it. One thing to say is that this is actually two films edited together. It is not easy for Rongguang to use those waste films. Therefore, in terms of completeness

, there is a certain decline.

However, Rong Guang highlighted the comedy elements and added a lot of accidents, coincidences, making fools of himself, etc. All the emotional lines of the original movie were deleted, and only the male and female protagonists were depicted acting like wolves. Rong Guang believed that in terms of the watchability of the film, the revised version

It was later strengthened.

However, this film, whether it is the original version or the current version, has a huge fatal flaw - the previous bad movie is too long!

Generally speaking, when audiences enter a movie theater, unless they are famous movies with famous directors and stars, the audience will basically leave without hesitation if they find that the movie is still a bad movie after 15 to 20 minutes.

And the original movie was thirty-seven minutes long? The current version is also thirty minutes long?

This is why the original film was rejected by two film studios, and finally could only be shown in art theaters where art film fans entertained themselves. Only when the reputation spread and the audience had patience did it become a

It became a dark horse and eventually led to a box office hit.

After all, the selling point of this movie is a twist, and the jokes are just that. Watch it in its entirety, and you can nod your head and praise it as a good movie. But it is by no means amazing, and I generally will never watch it a second time.

You know, in the era of the original movie, the Internet had long been fully popularized. Therefore, through spontaneous recommendations from fans on the Internet, fame can be easily spread.

But now we are in the 1990s. The dissemination of films can only rely on traditional media such as newspapers and TV stations. Therefore, the issue of distribution is very troublesome. If the film company cannot pass the pass, no matter how dark horse you are, you will still not be able to go to the theaters. You will have to be obedient.

It was thrown into a warehouse and became a dead horse.

Therefore, the requirements for beauty are actually very low. What kind of dark horse is a box-office hit, getting rich overnight, gaining fame and wealth in one step, and being surrounded by beautiful women? He has never thought about it.

The purpose of shooting this movie is to recover the cost and pay off the family's debt!

The revised content absolutely meets the review standards and avoids even the slightest edge. Therefore, it will definitely pass the review of the completed film and obtain a distribution certificate.

Later, whether it was China Film or Yu Dong's Bona, as long as they were willing to pay a buyout fee of 500,000, Rong Guang would agree without hesitation. Even if it was lower, it wouldn't matter.

And they can also make money. Even if they decide not to go to theaters in the end, they can definitely sell it to the Sixth Princess of Yangma. During this period, the Sixth Princess of Yangma also has a big project, shooting more than 100 special films at a cost of more than 1 million per film.

TV movies broadcast on TV stations. So if you spend 800,000 to 900,000 yuan to buy a movie that is above the qualified level, there is no possibility of disagreeing.

Of course, Rong Guang didn't have that much reputation and couldn't directly contact the Sixth Princess of Yangma. But for China Film and Bona, contacting them was easy. So it was up to them to earn the money.

Rong Guang’s heart is not evil, and it doesn’t matter if this film doesn’t make money. What else is more important than the health of your parents?



After deciding all this, Rong Guang spent another three days writing the script and the first draft of important shots.

It’s too late to complete a complete script, so I’m still planning to revise it while filming. But the necessary documents need to be detailed and complete, and must be specially standardized.
Chapter completed!
