Xia Tian comforted his wounded heart and prepared to start filming "Midnight Wolf".

However, before filming, Xia Tian decided to modify the script first and add a part of the plot. Because the original story of "Midnight Wolf" is too thin, it tells the story of a salty man, which is actually worse than the Japanese cavalry films.

Xia Tian doesn't want the first work he directed is just so trash, otherwise it would be embarrassing to be revealed after becoming famous in the future.

He bit the pen and squatted on the ground, thinking hard, his fingers constantly drawing circles on the ground, and thoughts flashed in his mind.

After a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up and he had an idea in his mind. Then he brushed his fingers and started to write on the back of the script.

"Hey, what the hell are you doing? I haven't started shooting for so long?" Buck Ya Bing was impatient and came forward with a dark face and urged.

This "Midnight Wolf" will be released in three days, but it has only been half filmed so far. I really don't have time to procrastinate anymore.

Xia Tian was inspired at this moment, but he did not immediately respond to the question of Buck Ya Bing. Instead, he insisted on writing the last word and stood up.

At this time, Buck Ya Bing's face was as dark as the bottom of the pot.

"Brother Bing, sharpening a knife will not delay chopping wood. Look, this is the script I just wrote. If I shoot it according to this script, I promise to finish it within two days." Xia Tian handed the script over and said.

"Don't we already have a script? You're figuring out another script now?" Buck Ya Bing looked at Xia Tian with an unhappy expression.

Now that the film "Midnight Wolf" has not been finished, he has no intention of investing in the next movie.

"This is not a new script, but a part of the storyline has been added based on the original script of "Midnight Wolf". "Xia Tian waved her hand and explained.

When Buck Ya Bing heard this, his face turned darker.

"Add a storyline?! Are you planning to lose my money to death? Do you know that once you add a story, I have to pay another money? I made C-level movies to make money, not to let you realize your dream of a movie." He shouted loudly.

Before, Buckya Bing wanted to make his film company bigger and stronger, so he once invited some famous directors to make films. However, those directors asked for a lot of demands, made big investments, hired famous actors, and said they wanted artistic depth... But nine out of ten movies made were a failure.

So after suffering a few losses, Buck Ya Bing refused to take risks again and honestly filmed his small-cost C-level film. Although a single film doesn’t make much money, the profit is stable and the risks are controllable.

Now that I heard that Xia Tian was going to take risks again, Buck Ya Bing thought of the previous evil tricks, so he naturally had no good expression on him.

"Brother Bing, you misunderstood. You should first look at the plots I added, but it was just a cutscene of 98 minutes. But subtracting the two powerful scenes I just deleted, not only did it not increase the cost, but it also saved a lot of money." Xia Tian explained calmly.

This "Midnight Wolf" originally assumed that there were five strong dramas, which were completely the rhythm of "not enough drama, but meat is gathered". The original director must have planned to use these sex scenes to attract audiences, but in summer it seems too much. Because braised pork is delicious, it is easy to get tired of eating too much.

In addition, the settings of these five powerful dramas are basically the same, which makes the audience feel bored. So Xia Tian made his own decision, deleted the next two powerful dramas, and filled in a new storyline again.

"Are you crazy? C-level movies, who can watch it without cesium violence?! Don't harm me if you want to die, you'll be fucking!" Buck Ya Bing heard Xia Tian delete two powerful scenes, and immediately threw the script on him and cursed.

Xia Tian picked up the script again with a dark face, handed it to Bingya Bing again, and said in a deep voice, "Brother Bing, you can finish the script first and then criticize me. If you think I am not good at writing it, then we will shoot according to the original script."

He felt a little uncomfortable when he snatched the buck-yas. This brat was so proud. But after a moment of stunnedness, he still grabbed the script and then hurriedly started reading it.

"If you don't write well, you'll be in trouble." He swears while watching. No kid has ever dared to contradict him like this.

However, after he read the story written by Xia Tian, ​​his eyes lit up and he immediately raised his head, "Good boy, have you written the story of "Lin Guoyun, butcher on the rainy night"?"

Xia Tian nodded.

"Rain Night Butcher" Lin Guoyun is the most well-known serial killer in Hong Kong. From February to July 1982, he killed four women in just six months, and he had to dismember the human body, take photos, and make specimens every time. It can be said that he was completely inhumane and extremely cruel.

It is precisely because of this that everyone knows Lin Guoyun's reputation in Hong Kong. Especially in August this year, he was just sentenced to life imprisonment by the Hong Kong government, which caused a stir in society. Many relatives of the victims applied to the Governor's Office, hoping to restart the death penalty to comfort the victim's spirit in heaven. The newspapers were still reporting it a lot a few days ago.

Xia Tian suddenly thought of this news and had an idea to integrate the story of "Rain Night Butcher" Lin Guoyun into this "Midnight Wolf".

In this way, this movie takes advantage of the "Butterfly Lin Guoyun on a Rainy Night" as a gimmick. Taking advantage of the fact that the east wind has not stopped, it will definitely achieve a good box office result.

And with this change, the movie has been sublimated from a low-level plot movie to a social ethics film with artistic depth, and its style has been greatly improved at once.

Buckya Bing has been running a film company for many years. Although he has always been a C-level film that is not good at making, it does not mean that he has no vision. Now when he sees Xia Tian’s idea, he knows that doing this is very confusing.

"Yeah, okay, it's up to you." Buck Ya Bing nodded and said.

Seeing that he agreed, Xia Tian was relieved, "Thank you, Brother Bing. Since that's the case, then we don't waste our time and start shooting immediately."

Buck Ya Bing nodded, and with a move, he called the crew members who were hiding in the corner to rest.

"Brother Bing!" they greeted respectfully.

"This is the new director. Just follow his instructions later." Buck Fang Bing pointed at Xia Tian and said.

"Director!" They said hello to Xia Tian obediently, and did not have a slight attitude because he was so young. You must know that it was this young man who just ruined the original director. He had seen his ruthless methods and no one wanted to be beaten by him.

Xia Tian has no prejudice against these C-level actors, knowing that they are just making a living by making money. He glanced quickly and, as expected, these actors are not big stars.

With the low shooting cost of C-level films, it is destined not to invite well-known actors to act. Therefore, outdated stars, fourth-rate actors become the protagonists of the movie.

"Hello, seniors, I am Xia Tian. From today on, I will serve as the director and photographer of the crew of "Midnight Wolf". I hope everyone can work together to make this movie well." Xia Tian said with a smile.

"Sure, certain." Seeing that he was so polite, these actors couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It would be a shame to make such a C-level film. If they meet a director with a bad temper and start scolding him at any time, it would be even more pitiful. Fortunately, this young director looks fierce but still speaks kindly.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, start shooting quickly." Buck Ya Bing couldn't help but urge.

Xia Tian smiled slightly and began to assign tasks to everyone.

He studied in the directorship of Beijing Film Academy in his previous life. After graduation, he followed dozens of crews, worked as a photographer, worked as a screenwriter, served as an associate director, and directed a large crew of hundreds of people. Now facing the crew of "Midnight Wolf", two or three big cats, he certainly won't slacken. He will complete the work in just a few seconds.

Seeing that he was doing things so neatly, Buck Ya Bing watched from the side, and his confidence in him suddenly increased a little.

...

After the assignment, Xia Tian was instructing the actors to perform later. At this time, his good brother Chen Yixin ran in in a blazing manner.

"Brother Tian, ​​I'm back." He shouted loudly.

"Yeah, you're here just in time." Xia Tian nodded, "Have you settled down with your little sister?"

"I'll settle down, I'll take her back to my house. With my mother at home with her, there will be no trouble." Chen Yixin whispered.

Xia Tian nodded, "That's fine. Then you go and debug the light first. I want a 2.5-degree light with a cool color temperature."

Chen Yixin's eyes lit up immediately, and he looked at Xia Tian in surprise and said, "Oh! OK, Brother Tian, ​​when did you know how to dim it?"

Xia Tian smiled. He was a top student in the directorship department of Beijing Film Academy and knew that dimming was a big deal.

As a director, even if you are not proficient in lighting, art, editing, photography, etc., you must at least understand a little. Otherwise, you will not be able to communicate well with your subordinates when filming. It would be strange if you can make good shows if you are a layman.

"When you are resting in filming, you learn secretly from those lighting masters." He smiled and concealed.

"Ah, no wonder." Chen Yixin suddenly realized, "Okay, then I'll go and adjust it now." After that, he walked over to debug the lights.

Due to the extremely low investment cost, the entire crew only has four lamps, which seems to be very shabby in summer. You should know that when filming in mainland China, there are two trucks of lighting equipment used for a medium-investment TV series.

However, it was probably the first time that he had lost his "assistant" hat and became a real lighting engineer. So Chen Yixin didn't feel shabby at all. He happily fiddled with the four lamps and quickly debugged the lighting effects required in summer.
Chapter completed!
