Wang Xueqing was just a small episode in Chen Minhao's life, like an inconspicuous little wave. Chen Minhao got up very early the next morning, and he planned to ask Chen Qiang to send him to the crew.
The salary offered to Chen Minhao in "Detective" was 15 million, and Chen Minhao felt that he had to be worthy of this salary.
It was only 7:30 in the morning when Chen Minhao arrived at the set, but he saw that director Hu Defa was already adjusting the shooting position.
Investor Tian Lin stood aside with a serious smile, looking at the busy staff. When he saw Chen Minhao, he just nodded slightly and had no intention of going forward for further communication.
He was dissatisfied with Chen Minhao's role as Shao Fei from the beginning. In his heart, he preferred Jing Yongchang to play Shao Fei's role. On the one hand, he had experience in box office resistance and had historical data that could be used as a reference to evaluate the role. Jing Yongchang's return on investment.
More importantly, I think Jing Yongchang may seem a bit dull, while Chen Minhao seems to be a smart and capable type, but in fact he is different from Shao Fei's character.
But at the beginning, Wang Ruozhou and Huang Feifei were on the side of director Hu Defa, that is, Chen Minhao, so Chen Minhao was allowed to win this role. For Chen Minhao, this is a small step towards success in his career as an artist, while for producer Tian Lin, using Chen Minhao is about being particular.
Today, after Tian Lin saw Chen Minhao, he felt "dong, dong, dong" sound in his heart. What he wanted was Shao Fei, a shy and stuttering young man with extraordinary talent as a detective. Tian Lin expected Shao Fei's character to have a cute appearance. , there is a big contrast with a smart heart, rather than a social elite who looks smart and has high emotional intelligence.
Tian Lin frowned. He regretted it. He felt that he should have insisted on his idea. "Detective" is a detective film, but the overall tone is a humorous comedy. Chen Minhao is too honest, and Chen Minhao's friends online these days have left the stereotype of "he is very smart", Tian Lin I am worried that such stereotypes will make the audience feel uncomfortable when watching "Detective".
Tian Lin's mind was spinning rapidly. He was already thinking about how to replace Chen Minhao while accepting everything, because the movie "Detective" bears huge pressure on the company.
Investing in movies has always been a high-risk, high-yield investment activity. Therefore, even for large movie investors, if a movie fails to make back its money at the box office, it may affect the financial status of the entire company and even cause bankruptcy. This is also why a movie often has many investors:
On the one hand, it is to alleviate the financial pressure of a film and television company spending a lot of money in a short period of time, but on the other hand, it is to reduce risks.
When Chen Minhao was putting on makeup and changing clothes, Tian Lin had a general idea in his mind: to introduce a new film investor and express objections to Chen Minhao's performance of Shao Fei from the perspective of a new investor. Get rid of Chen Minhao.
Tian Lin's mind was running rapidly, thinking about which film investor would be more suitable to introduce at this stage. You must have the right to speak, but you must not be too strong.
As a result, forty minutes later, a brand new Chen Minhao, no, it should be said that it was Shao Fei, stood in front of Tian Lin.
The light blue jeans are slim-fitting and paired with a white shirt, they are very simple to wear. Chen Minhao's hair, which had been combed back, was combed to the front by the makeup artist, turning it into slightly fluffy natural hair.
He also carried a blue schoolbag on his back. Overall, Chen Minhao felt that Shao Fei looked dull now. It's like the classmates in high school who can't be the best no matter how capable they are.
Tian Lin suddenly mentioned that Hu Defa, who has been a director for so many years, still has a unique vision. Now, in his opinion, Chen Minhao looked like a different person when he entered the state, with a slightly nerdy expression. Chen Minhao didn't say a word, but the entire crew felt that the person in front of them was Shao Fei.
Director Hu Defa was still adjusting the lighting. Producer Tian Lin took the lead and said with a smile: "Not bad, not bad. This is the tone. It feels very flavorful."
Chen Minhao stammered: "Don't, don't praise me, me, me, I will be proud."
The whole team was reminded of good-natured laughter. After all, if the actors enter the scene quickly and the shooting efficiency is high, it is equivalent to reducing the working time of the director, photography, lighting, and recording.
… …
After "Detective" was started, the entire crew worked very efficiently. By the 9th day of filming, the filming progress had reached the planned 11-day shooting content.
Chen Minhao began to doubt the correctness of the sentence. In the end, all work was just physical exertion. Director Hu Defa worked so hard. The camera positions, lighting, and props were basically done by Director Hu Defa himself. He arrived at the set at 7 o'clock every morning, and did not leave the set until 12 o'clock and 1 o'clock every night. But I am still full of energy every day.
The crew of "Detective" is working hard every day. Director Hu Defa's reasons are:
"The movie "Detective" mainly tells the story of Jiang Long and Shao Fei who, while avoiding police pursuits, gang pursuits, and gang sieges, completed the task of finding the "lost gold" and identifying the "real murderer" in just seven days. ”, “clearing one’s name”, these “defying” tasks.
The two characters, Jiang Long and Shao Fei, have a lot to do in seven days, so there must be a sense of urgency. If the filming process of the crew is relatively fast, it will put a certain amount of pressure on the two actors and it will be easy to show a certain sense of urgency. . "
However, the crew members, including Chen Minhao, all believed that Director Hu Defa was trying to save money. After all, running the machine for an extra day means spending an extra day.
On the tenth day of filming, the crew was about to shoot a big scene. The crew even booked an entire street for filming. They would mainly film Jiang Long and Shao Fei when the police discovered Jiang Long and wanted to arrest him. The plot of using your legs to run past the police, and there are some plots showing off tricks in between. "
Although this plot only appeared in the movie for a maximum of 5 minutes, it burned nearly 17% of the crew's budget.
First of all, the road needs to be closed for filming, and secondly, the extras need to be mobilized. The most important thing is that this will be a long shot, and there will be many actions of the protagonist, supporting actors, and extras in this long shot. After all, this is a chase scene.
Every time Hu Defa shouted "Card", the long-lens shooting had to be repeated, so when Hu Defa shouted "Card", what Tian Lin heard was not a Crack, but the "sound of burning money."
