The biggest advantage of the original version of "The Camera Can't Stop" is its low cost, which is among the lowest. The cost of filming before and after was only 3 million yen (180,000 soft girl coins).

The only films that Rong Guang can think of that can reach such a low level and are above the qualified level are "Xiao Wu" by Chief Jia and "Incense" directed by Ning Hao. The shooting costs of these two films are the same

Around 200,000 yuan.

Not to mention that in 1997, "Xiao Wu" may have been filmed. These two domestic films followed the film festival award-winning model. How do you ask Rong Guang to imitate it?

"Xiao Wu" is an investment from Hong Kong film producers. Ning Hao himself is a well-known advertising and MTV director in the industry. And his family is in business, so he is used to wearing a thick gold dog chain around his neck. I'm telling you clearly.

:Brother, if I can’t survive in the film and television industry, I’ll have no choice but to go home and inherit the family property. I’m asking if you are afraid?

Therefore, they can at least afford the travel expenses for foreign film festivals. But what should Rongguang do? Should he buy a pair of swimming trunks and go swimming in the sea?

In addition, both of these films were underground films. Management during this period was quite strict. When underground films were discovered, they were immediately banned from directing for five years. Even Jiang Wen a few years later was killed without mercy.

And whoever invests in underground movies will be fined fifty times the amount of the investment! It scares the hell out of the coal bosses who used to have fun. Only idiots would invest in your movies.

Tell me, how dare Rong Guang make underground films?

Rong Guang is a person who follows the rules!

In the Mainland film and television industry, Nortel, China Theater and Shanghai Theater are known as the three major companies. They are the direct descendants of Gen Hongmiao. At most, there are military arts and Chinese dance as peripherals, and more than ten local art schools as supplements.

When they make mistakes, they may still have a chance to make amends. They can build relationships with their teachers and alumni and build friendships.

But for someone like Rong Guang, who was born outside the industry, if he made a small mistake, he might be thrown into the cold. If he didn't follow the rules and was cautious, could he have been able to become a veteran for more than 20 years? He would have been turned into ashes long ago.

So let’s go back to “The Camera Can’t Stop”!

First of all, the subject matter must be greatly revised. Zombies are impossible, and the finished film will never pass the review. What is going to be shot is a theater movie, so you can’t waste the 80,000 yuan batch number, right?

Secondly, in the original movie, although it is a comedy-style inspirational film, the original purpose of the director at the beginning was probably to entertain himself with a group of like-minded friends. It suddenly became a dark horse, which was purely accidental. Maybe even the original director himself had no idea.

think.

Self-entertainment films like this inevitably weaken the commercial elements. Coupled with the lack of resources and lack of experience of the original director, the emotional creation is somewhat regrettable, and the characters are not distinct enough. There are too many things that I want to express, but there is nothing.

It is all-inclusive. The comedy and inspirational aspects are not very prominent.

Although this is definitely a good movie, Rong Guang still decided to cut off those irrelevant plots and irrelevant emotional expressions, and fully highlight the comedy and bloody elements. This is a good selling point of commercial films.

However, there is still a problem. That is, 170,000 is still not enough.

Even though the original movie costs relatively little, most of the actors are friends of the director (amateurs), and the heroine is also an unknown newcomer. The setting is an abandoned waterworks and the director's own home, and the filming equipment is all

It was borrowed from a favor, and the Material Hua Dao was also a friendly help, and it didn't cost much.

In addition, there is the biggest component - film. In the era when the original movie was shot, digital cameras had long been fully popularized, and there was no problem of purchasing film and printing.

Although the era is different, the price of the notebook is also expensive. The real purchasing power of 170,000 yen now may be far more than the 3 million yen of the notebook at that time. But the original version is free? No matter how little it costs here, Rongguang still needs to pay for it.

Bar!

…

Don’t say anything else. Now that you’ve decided to restart the project, let’s start from scratch!

Although it is not even a grassroots team now, Rong Guang still continues his good habits - advancing according to the standard procedures of film projects!

First of all, there must be a project feasibility report. If the project is not feasible, then everything else is blind.

1997 was really a barbaric era. There was only one phone in Rongguang's rental house. There were no computers, printers or other office supplies, so we had to find a copy shop nearby.

Later, through connections, Rong Guang borrowed a movie projector. Although he had not yet blended into the circle, the people at the bottom of Beidiao were very familiar with him. After all, he was a wealthy young man in Beidiao. If he gave away a few cigarettes, he could still do these things.

.

The liar director in front of me shot about 200 minutes of waste film. When he left, all of it was left to Rong Guang. Now these films are still piled in the rental house. There are even more than 20 reels left.

Blank film that was not shot. However, in order to save money at that time, they used old 16mm film stocks.

It took Rong Guang two full days to read the waste films several times.

After that, I immediately contacted important members of the original crew. There was no need to contact the liar director. This project must be directed by Rong Guang.

The heroine's situation was not good. She called the bb machine all day long but there was no response.

On the contrary, everything went smoothly with the cameraman. The cameraman's name was Jiang Wei. In the film and television industry in his previous life, Rong Guang had never heard of this person, so he probably didn't get ahead in the end.

However, at this time, Jiang Weigang had just graduated from the photography department of Nortel for two or three years. He also stayed in Beijing and became a Beipiao. He was considered a bottom-level person, half a step away from joining the industry. In other words, Jiang Weizhen had already reached that level.

Unlike some rich man, he still thinks so. So in this film, Jiang Wei's camera skills should be enough.

And Jiang Wei is quite easy to talk to. As long as the money is available, he can do the job. And as long as Rong Guang can pay the salary, he can help pull up the entire crew, and the supporting actors have no problem either. Unwilling to be assigned a place, he stayed in the capital and became a Beipiao.

There are really too many students pursuing their dreams in art schools.

After understanding all these situations, Rong Guang finally breathed a sigh of relief. In the past few days since his rebirth, for the first time, he felt that the project was feasible.

The original film was called "Iron Jungle: Chains of Love".

According to the liar director's boast, he was going to make a postmodern urban suspense kung fu film. Anyway, Rong Guang never understood it. The only thing he could understand was that hearing this name would lead to death!
Chapter completed!
