The boss is the one who pays you.

Director Liang, like all social animals, kept thinking silently in his heart, "My money is still in his hands, so I can't fall out with him." Relying on these golden words, he returned to the set with anger and brought Qiao to the stage.

The screenwriter also joined the crew.

By the way, screenwriter Qiao and her team succeeded in getting all the storyboards out. There are ten team members, and eight of them are willing to join this promising film and television company within the next six months!

The assistant girl comes with coffee sandwiches every day and keeps talking about the company's next big plans, including Lu Beijing's "Journey to the West" and Liu Wei's next movie.

Yes, next one.

There isn't even a name yet, and there's no outline.

The assistant lady introduced it this way: "It needs to be kept confidential, so I can't tell you the details, but it must be a big production with special effects."

Yes, a blockbuster with special effects. This is an instruction given by investors. Boss Du believes that blockbusters with special effects are the driving force for movies in the future, so he instructs Liu Wei that his next movie must be a blockbuster with special effects. As for what the content is, he doesn’t know.

There is only one requirement for caring: it must be profitable.

Young people don't know how dangerous society can be, so they were tricked into entering by these few words.

Director Liang took screenwriter Qiao with him to think about the ending.

Director Liang: "Quick, quick, give full play to your energy and think of an unconventional ending!"

Screenwriter Qiao: "Isn't it on the supermarket shelves if you don't want to be unconventional? If you really want to buy one for yourself, why don't you?" If you don't want to be unconventional, do you know how many movies are bad?

Director Liang: "There is no time. I only have ten days left." Screenwriter Qiao: "Why don't you go to the hospital for a few days to get sick or something."

Sick escape.

Director Liang really thought about it.

But he quickly gave up on this seemingly tempting idea.

-If you really can’t get a satisfactory ending in the end, I’ll run away again.----

However, just because there is no suitable ending does not mean that there will be no ending.

Director Liang is a qualified commercial film director.

Qualified means that he will definitely be able to deliver a qualified movie and will be able to meet the completion date.

After Director Liang returned to the crew, he immediately prepared four endings based on the current situation. The first one was, of course, the death of the male protagonist.

Of course, there was no need for Lu Beijing to shoot this scene himself, as this would be a waste of talent. Director Liang instructed the second group of directors to take the props team to shoot a nostalgic version of the ending.

The setting sun shines through the glass window, and there is a wooden photo frame placed on the desk. The photo is of the instructor with a bright smile - the faceless version. Voice-over: "He was trying to save the children who fell into the water..."

The second one is when the heroine gets married.

Liu Wei joined the set the next day after watching the film and was roped in to take wedding photos. Liu Wei was still shocked when she was putting on makeup! It had only been one night, and the ending was already settled. The heroine got married to the instructor. Director Liang was so efficient.

ah!

There was no church in the lawn wedding, and the staff all wore suits and dresses to act as guests, throwing bouquets and so on. It was Liu Wei's one-man show from beginning to end, and the instructor, who was the groom, was not seen. - I didn't expect the instructor to get married.

I didn’t even show my face on this day, that’s awesome!

After she finished filming this scene, the scene was given to Lu Beijing.

Lu Beijing wore an old military uniform, a summer dress, dark green short sleeves, and stood with one hand in his pocket outside the prop team's white gauze drying shed. He took a few back and side shots and ended it.

After both of them finished filming, the staff had a meal at the prop buffet. The camera recorded very real scenes, and there was also sparkling wine and so on. Everyone had a great time.

Liu Wei took off the skirt of her wedding dress and only wore a tube top with a pair of football pants underneath. It was not suitable for appearing in the picture, so she ate in the car.

Liang Tiannan was responsible for explaining to her how to storyboard the next scene.

Only then did Liu Wei realize that this was just one of the endings. Liu Wei: "Do you want to shoot so many endings?"

Liang Tiannan: "Shoot a few more endings, then cut them out and use whichever one suits you best."

This is the way commercial film directors hand in their homework. If you make a few more films, one of them will hit the investor’s heart.

Liu Wei: "Director Liang is really working hard."

Yes, she sincerely thought that Director Liang worked hard. During the movie viewing, Lu Beijing almost threw the blame to Director Liang, but Director Liang still had to take it. Alas, it was easier to be an actor and not have to carry such a big burden.

responsibility.

Liang Tiannan: "Director Liang is currently crowdfunding the ending in the crew, asking everyone to submit an ending." Liu Wei: ""

Now the pressure is on the staff.

Staff: I have something I don’t know whether to say or not.

Working together is called mobilizing the power of the masses.

At the same time, Director Liang also cut out most of the suspenseful scenes in accordance with the opinions of everyone at the film viewing meeting, leaving only a few separate scenes of cats and dogs to ensure that the audience can immediately react to the differences between these two cats and dogs.

Ordinary.

The reprocessed picture is indeed warmer and less dark.

Liu Wei approached Director Liang because she heard from the guy from the props team that they had already filmed a version of the ending where Brother Lu died. Out of the idea of ​​fairness () and shared hardship, she said to Director Liang: "

In fact, the heroine can also die."

Director Liang walked down the slope and said: "Then let's arrange for leukemia. It's more poignant."

Liu Wei didn’t have to take the photo himself, just a black and white photo. The prop team and the second team director quickly took the photo and also processed it. For example, there was a cat squatting next to the black and white photo, and the camera zoomed out to include several more cats.

.

Then the instructor's back appeared and led the heroine's dog away.

Lu Beijing led the dog through the long avenue. He walked back and forth three times. When he came back, he handed the dog to Liu Wei and asked the director of the second team: "Is the male and female protagonists going to die now?"

Director of the second group: "Hahaha! Brother Lu, I am actually innocent. This is all arranged by Director Liang." Lu Beijing: "I know, I will go find him."

However, Liu Wei discovered that Brother Lu actually didn't bother Director Liang because Director Liang worked very hard and almost lived in the crew.

Then Director Liang also arranged many reshoot tasks for Brother Lu. Brother Lu also had no time.

The reshoots were about the newly designed instructor's affection for the heroine.

During the film screening, I said that the instructor’s arrow on the heroine was not obvious.

What's there to say? Come on.

Liu Wei originally thought this would be her job, but Brother Lu was too serious and he was unwilling to leave his part to others to shoot. Liu Wei: "Don't you trust me?" Lu Beijing: "I don't

Lying." Liu Wei: "Then what happens." Lu Beijing: "Then it's gone."

Liu Wei: "If you don't lie, you won't have anything to say, right?"

The team led by screenwriter Qiao and the crew came up with many ideas. Director Liang picked and picked and chose a part where the instructor writes a letter to the heroine.

Director Liang: "Based on the personality of an instructor, writing letters is more appropriate. And letters written by hand are generally more able to express true feelings."

So, Brother Lu wrote a love letter four times under two cameras. Liu Wei stood in front of the monitor and watched. "Brother Lu's handwriting is really good." She said in surprise.

Liang Tiannan also came over to look at the monitor. He said, "I heard that Brother Lu has been practicing calligraphy since elementary school and even had a teacher."

Seeking a teacher to practice calligraphy was indeed beyond the scope of Liu Wei's knowledge. She later remembered that Brother Lu seemed to have been cheated on since his debut. His family environment was very good. He was a family of intellectuals and a scholarly family.

In such a family, and he was so good-looking, and wanted to be an actor, there might have been a family war.

No wonder I rarely hear about Brother Lu’s family. Tang Xi’s parents call almost two or three times a week. Kong Zelan and Liang Tiannan also call once a week. Director Liang calls seven times a week - he has to call his daughter and answer calls.

My daughter has a lot of phone calls and contacts.

Liu Wei didn't need to answer or call. She just remembered that Brother Lu didn't seem to have answered the phone at home or called home, and he hadn't been in the group for such a long time.

After copying the love letter four times, Lu Beijing can almost memorize it. But when it comes to editing, it’s good to be able to cut only one scene. The reason for copying the love letter so many times is to find the most suitable scene. This depends on the final scene and other scenes.

cooperation.

Director Liang re-edited the film, and then held a larger viewing party, adding screenwriter Qiao, as well as the assistant director, second group directors and several group leaders. The company also invited more

Many bones.

There were a hundred people, so we used the company's restaurant. The restaurant had a big screen, which was used to show movies.

Liu Wei felt a little ashamed before coming in this time. Unlike the last time where there were only a few people, it was really her own family. This time, although she was also her own family, it didn't feel so close.

So she sat in the back evasively.

Director Liang still went up to speak, asking everyone for their opinions, and then went down, and the movie started immediately.

The subtitles were redone compared to last time, using computer special effects - this was not done by a special effects company, but by Director Liang himself. The heroine and the instructor were walking on the avenue together, and the footsteps of the two

There was a faint sound of two dogs running far and near, but there was only one barking.

This scene was cut for a minute, whether to delay time or to create an atmosphere. Liu Wei thought silently: It was a bit delayed.

But the picture is very beautiful.

The two walked together without speaking at all.

Between the two of them, first the instructor turned to look at the heroine, but the heroine didn't raise her head, and he didn't speak. Then the heroine looked up at the instructor, but she didn't speak, and he didn't lower his head either. In the end, the two missed each other like this.

Starring: Liu Wei. Director: Liang Ping, Lu Beijing.
