Xu Zifan invested 60 million in the film, of which 30 million was used for filming and 30 million was used for publicity. When all the initial expenses were not spent so much, Xu Zifan used his savings to continue to speculate on short-term projects and make quick money. , filling your own wallet for additional investment later. Fortunately, the background environment and characters of this film are at the level of grassroots citizens, which saves a lot of money. Most of the team members are fans of Qiao Zixin, and they are willing to help voluntarily and agree to pay their wages after the film is released. Doesn't seem stretched.
When the crew was set up and ready to start filming, the news finally came out. Many people were surprised and felt that Qiao Zixin was out of her mind to play a low-budget movie made by a new director. What's a good shot? You must know that other people make movies with old people who have been in the industry for many years.
I don't know who broke the news on the Internet. Not long after Qiao Zixin's popularity went down, there are still many people looking forward to her return. This news was immediately forwarded countless times and rushed to the hot search.
Qiao Zixin's 18-year-old fan, Luo Fenfen, is now Xu Zifan's assistant. He doesn't have to do anything else. He just needs to pay attention to all the news about Qiao Zixin on the Internet every day. Any news that is not within their control must be reported to him. Luo Fenfen grabbed this job because she was an internet addict girl. She grew up with no other hobby but likes to watch gossip on the Internet. This job is the most suitable for her. She was the first to notice the news that the crew was exposed, and immediately called Xu Zifan to tell her, but Xu Zifan told her to wait and see and tell him when others dug up their basic information and quarreled.
Although Luo Fenfen was in a hurry, she was convinced of Xu Zifan's words. They all knew now that Xu Zifan was the "guardian" of the group leader, and they were more successful than them, so they naturally had to listen to him at this time. While Xu Zifan and the others were preparing to shoot the first scene, Luo Fenfen sat in the corner and kept looking at the trends of public opinion on the Internet.
Xu Zifan personally inspected each of them, told each photographer about his shooting scope and responsibilities, and went to demonstrate the lighting methods and effects to the lighting engineer. These are enthusiastic fans, although they have a foundation, they are all experienced shooting hobbies However, after all, he has never made a movie and is not professional enough. Xu Zifan patiently answered their questions bit by bit, which made them more confident and less nervous.
The recording engineer invited by Qiao Zixin was very dissatisfied when he saw that the team was so amateur, and even regretted coming to help Qiao Zixin. He didn't expect to see such a professional director, and he controlled the whole scene by himself. He was smoking a cigarette outside the crowd. Looking back on these years, he seemed to have become accustomed to the three, six, nine, etc. on the set. When the director said a word, there were naturally several people to get things done. I haven't seen such a troubled director for a long time. Especially working together and full of passion. He looked at Qiao Zixin who came out of the dressing room, and suddenly felt that this time it seemed that he had come right, maybe this was really Qiao Zixin's turnaround.
Qiao Zixin is a recognized beauty. Every time she appears, she is bright and beautiful, but this time her forehead was red and swollen, and the corners of her mouth were bruised. Everyone was quiet when they saw her, and fans felt distressed almost immediately. Xu Zifan stepped forward and looked at Qiao Zixin's outfit, nodded, and asked, "Are you ready? No problem?"
Qiao Zixin's eyes were firm, "No problem, I have practiced myself."
Xu Zifan gave her an encouraging smile, and whispered, "Come on!" Then he clapped his hands and said loudly, "Everyone is in their place, and the filming will start after the last inspection. Remember, you can shoot like we practiced yesterday, but it won't work. Don't be nervous anymore, it's a big deal to reshoot, I will be able to shoot the best picture in the end! Do you have confidence?"
"have!"
Xu Zifan walked back to the director's seat, signaling everyone to concentrate. The first scene was a domestic violence scene, which is the beginning of the movie. One was to let everyone quickly enter the state in the intense scene, and the other was to let everyone see a different Qiao Zixin and have more confidence in Qiao Zixin. Afraid that the new actor would not dare to beat Qiao Zixin, Xu Zifan directly asked the action instructor to play the role. There were only three scenes in this role, and it was not difficult, so Xu Zifan was not worried at all.
The people around were influenced by Xu Zifan and felt that it was normal, but they all wanted to film the first scene well, and they all stood attentively at their jobs. Xu Zifan checked all the positions with his eyes and nodded to the board player after confirming that there was no problem.
With a snap of the board, the action teacher walked into the door drunkenly with a bottle of wine. Qiao Zixin's face showed a forbearance of fear, and she lowered her head and stepped forward to help her husband take off his coat. Her back was slightly bent, her shoulders shrunk, like a cowardly little daughter-in-law, revealing a tragic color.
As soon as the coat was taken off, the man slapped him and cursed: "Slower than a snail, you have a fart!"
Qiao Zixin suddenly fell to the ground, knocked over the spittoon with his right hand, and inside was his son's freshly urinated urine, all sprinkled on his coat. Seeing this, the man became angry and kicked Qiao Zixin several times when he dropped the wine bottle, "You stinky bitch, you dare to pour urine on Lao Tzu's clothes! You are courting death!"
Qiao Zixin immediately closed her eyes, put her head in her hands, curled her body up, bit her lips tightly and did not dare to make a sound.
The man didn't think it was enough after kicking, so he grabbed Qiao Zixin by the collar and threw her to the side of the bed. The man's fist followed closely, and a punch landed on her. The more she screamed, the more excited he became. He was drunk, and he didn't care how much he hit, so that Qiao Zixin could not take it anymore and wept.
At this moment, the small door next to it was pushed open by a little boy, who ran over crying and hugged the man's leg, "Mom... don't hit mom..."
The man kicked him away with one kick, and he didn't take it seriously at all, and the fist he waving didn't even pause. The little boy crawled a few times on the ground, stumbled to his feet, and rushed out the door crying.
"Card!"
As soon as Xu Zifan made a sound, the action teacher immediately stopped and pulled Qiao Zixin up, "Are you alright?"
Qiao Zixin shook his head, the play was quick, and he smiled at him, "It's okay, it's all fake fights, Master Cao is really professional."
However, some of the fan legions around have not recovered, and they are deeper into the play than they are. Is this the end? Just hit so hard and screamed so miserably! When they saw the goddess being beaten, they wanted to rush up and beat the man to death. If they hadn't been training for several days and listening to Xu Zifan's command in the earphones, they would have beaten him long ago.
Xu Zifan asked everyone to come over, "Everyone, look at the results of the shooting just now, and see how your grades are."
Everyone came back to their senses and became nervous. They huddled in front of the screen and watched the playback anxiously and expectantly. Qiao Zixin and Master Cao also came over. The filming was different from what I saw at the scene just now. It was a tragic domestic violence. Qiao Zixin's fear, pain and despair were all expressed through her expressions and limbs. The language is reflected, and people feel distressed for her when they see it, and they are a little angry. I can't wait to shout at her: Hit him! Fight back! Don't hold on!
The filming of this scene is particularly good, it makes people feel a scalp tingling, domestic violence, it turns out to be so terrifying!
Xu Zifan waited for everyone to watch and clapped their hands, and said with a smile, "Very good, our crew has had a good start, and it will be smooth sailing in the future! Everyone has seen Zixin's strength, she can not only play the role of a fairy, a beauty, but also Can play a cowardly woman who was beaten, she works so hard, should we work harder?"
"Yes!" Everyone clapped excitedly and looked at Qiao Zixin with bright eyes. This is their goddess. Their acting skills exploded to such an extent that they couldn't help being proud and proud, and even more honored to be part of this crew.
Qiao Zixin smiled at everyone and said, "We all work hard together. Today I invite everyone to eat hot pot. You are welcome."
No other scenes were arranged on the first day of the show. Xu Zifan wanted everyone to succeed, and he wanted everyone to calm down from the excitement of success. In the future, he may have to face various situations. The emotions at the beginning must be well grasped, so as not to succeed again There is too much psychological gap to fail. Moreover, everyone is very busy these days, most of the crew members are still working hard for Qiao Zixin, Xu Zifan suggested that Qiao Zixin invite everyone to a meal today, while celebrating the success of the boot, they happily eat hot pot, laugh and have fun, and get closer Check everyone's distance.
Xu Zifan booked a big box at a very secret hot pot restaurant. There were three tables of dozens of people, and they ordered a lot of expensive and delicious food, so everyone opened up to eat. There was also a karaoke machine in the box, and a few younger fans sang one after another, and soon the atmosphere got up. Everyone drank again, joking, joking, punching punches, and people who were not familiar with it at the moment. I feel a lot closer, everyone is a big group, especially a big group with great energy.
Xu Zifan mingled with everyone, and always paid attention to everyone's needs. When the banquet was over, he opened another bottle of wine and asked Qiao Zixin to toast with the three tables. Everyone likes her and is willing to support her, but the affection is mutual. When Qiao Zixin's life is at a low point, they are willing to help. This is a great affection. This glass of wine must be served.
A little girl suddenly burst into tears after clinking glasses with Qiao Zixin, and choked: "I like Sister Zixin so much, I never dreamed that I could clink glasses and drink with Sister Zixin, and get along with her for so long, I, I don't know what I'm trying to say, I'm just so excited!"
"Yes, seeing Xin Bao'er so close is like a dream, Xin Bao'er, don't worry, no matter what you want to do, we will accompany you to do it!"
With tears in his eyes, Qiao Zixin raised his glass with a smile and said to everyone, "Let's have a drink together. No matter what happens in the future, we will always be a group, and we can't miss one!"
"Not one less! Cheers!"
Everyone cheered and drank happily and proudly. The atmosphere was warm, and Qiao Zixin also followed. It was the first time that she got along with fans like this, which was different from the sense of distance that seemed to be separated by a barrier at the fan meeting. Now seeing so many fans supporting her and helping her, the feeling in her heart was particularly great, and she suddenly felt a sense of With a sense of mission, as long as there is one fan who likes her, she will never fall, and she will also work hard to do something for them and fight for all her fans!
