Chapter 150 Spring Festival, you are crazy(1/3)
How can a person who only wants to make a good movie and lose money be a good investor?
Zhang Yu's "keep improving", Ning Yuan couldn't resist, but then he took the risk and became bolder.
Before, I was timid and worried about this and that, but now I don’t care about much.
He also began to make bold attempts.
In fact, the key to the success of this film, apart from the actors' performances, is the director's shooting techniques.
A person only has a mobile phone and a lighter.
Even if you include the coffin, it's probably an extremely simple movie.
But the simpler it is, the more it tests the director’s skill.
Ning Yuan let go of his hands and feet, but Zhang Yu smiled.
A scene that was supposed to be shot in half an hour ended up taking half a day.
"A lunch box?" Zhang Yu said calmly, "What do you call a lunch box for a crew like this? Of course they go to a restaurant!"
"ah?"
Ning Yuan and others were stunned and looked at Zhang Yu in shock.
The cost of ordering lunch boxes and going out to restaurants is not a penny!
"You are the boss, you have the final say."
Ning Yuan did not persuade Zhang Yu this time.
After all, this movie doesn't even have an extra cast.
There are really not many people in the crew.
Moreover, most of these people are people who have been with him for a long time.
Why eat a box lunch when you can go to a restaurant?
After dinner, we continued shooting.
As before, Zhang Yu strives for perfection, while Ning Yuan keeps trying, shooting several versions of one scene.
"That's it for today?"
After five o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Yu spoke.
"Is it still early?" Ning Yuan was a little surprised.
Which crew didn't work overtime, hoping to finish filming as soon as possible?
But what about Zhang Yu?
What do you want?
Don’t you know that the longer the shooting cycle, the higher your investment cost will be?
Among other things, the crew has to spend money on food and accommodation.
"It's getting late, office workers are about to get off work!" Zhang Yu shook his head and said.
Ning Yuan:......
Office worker?
It's almost time to get off work?
Are you still thinking about working a nine-to-five job?
If you were not an investor in this movie, I would suspect that you are trying to be a big name.
"Then call it a day!"
Ning Yuan looked at Zhang Yu, full of doubts, but didn't say much.
Maybe he has other things to do when he goes back!
Although he has freed up his schedule, after all, he is now popular.
The topic of him defeating the first person in Taekwondo is still on the hot search list.
What's more, he also heard that Zhang Yu is currently preparing for his first album.
Maybe he should go back and write songs early.
The next day, Zhang Yu came belatedly.
"You can be later tomorrow." Zhang Yu said with an awkward smile.
With so many people waiting for him alone, he felt embarrassed as if he was playing a big role.
Do I, Zhang Shisan, look like a big star?
Well, I allow you to be late.
This way it won't be awkward.
Ning Yuan's mouth twitched, but he didn't say anything.
Zhang Yu is the lead actor and an investor, and the entire crew revolves around him. If he is late, the crew will be late, and it doesn't seem to matter.
It's just that the shooting cycle is a little longer.
They don't lack that time either.
In this way, we start work late, finish work late, keep improving, and keep trying.
One day's scenes were shot over several days.
"How about a half day off today?"
Zhang Yu looked at Ning Yuan and asked with a smile.
Ning Yuan's mouth twitched, but when he saw Yang Ruoxue not far away, he nodded helplessly.
Although he didn't understand it, he was used to Zhang Yu's operations.
Never work overtime.
He feels that he is not a movie director, but a company white-collar worker.
"I didn't expect filming to be so boring." Yang Ruoxue said, "Before, I thought it was quite fun."
She came early and spent a long time on the set watching Zhang Yu and others filming.
"What kind of movie is that?" Zhang Yu said with a smile, "Let's go, I'll take you around."
"You don't want to take pictures anymore?" Yang Ruoxue said doubtfully.
"This movie is not urgent." Zhang Yu said, "It took me half a day off."
"You really...don't spend the money like this!" Yang Ruoxue was stunned for a moment and said, "Sister Hua heard that I was coming to visit the class, and you asked me to persuade you?"
When Wang Mei heard about Zhang Yu's dirty tricks on the set, she naturally had to give her some advice.
However, Zhang Yu didn't listen.
As for spending a lot more money, does Zhang Yu care?
It would be nice if he didn't treat the crew to delicacies every day.
"It is said that Director Ning expected this movie to be completed in more than a week, but you forced it to take more than half a month to shoot." Yang Ruoxue continued.
The daily shooting time is short, this is just one of the reasons.
The real reason is that Zhang Yu "keeps improving" and Ning Yuan "keeps trying".
"It's inevitable that the first film took it a little more seriously," Zhang Yu said. "It doesn't matter whether the film makes money or not, but it must have a good reputation."
Yang Ruoxue said nothing more.
She knew that Zhang Yu was not the kind of person who spent money lavishly.
He got rich this time and made hundreds of millions at once, but he really didn't have the appearance of a nouveau riche at all.
I can’t say it’s very economical, but it’s definitely not extravagant or wasteful.
As for why it happened this time?
Wang Mei was also worried that he suddenly became rich and that his mentality was really unbalanced.
That's why Yang Ruoxue persuaded her.
Yang Ruoxue obviously knows Zhang Yu better.
When Zhang Yu said that, he naturally believed it.
At least, he didn't think there was anything wrong with Zhang Yu's mentality.
After Yang Ruoxue left, Zhang Yu continued filming.
Fast forward to the end of November.
At this time, the first season of "I Am a Singer-Songwriter" ended, and the promotion of "The Voice of China" gradually became stronger.
