Chapter 129 Do you want to play the villain?(1/2)
"Maybe he suddenly appears, oh, I'll scare you." Shao Qiu, who had a circle of green stubble on his chin, turned around and laughed with an indescribable meaning, everything was silent.
Wei Liangfu shouted: "By!"
Then he clenched his fists excitedly and waved his way into the sky, shouting: "It's finished."
The crew members applauded each other and all breathed a sigh of relief.
After working hard for two months, day and night, it was finally over. I worked with the best actor, Yalishan University.
Shao Qiu pulled open his tie hard and let out a long breath. At this moment, he felt tired from the bottom of his heart, tired from his body, and tired from his heart.
He had never been so heartbroken like this before, and it was a torment for him to make a movie like this one.
Xiong Dawei clapped his hands behind Wei Liangfu, then patted Wei Liangfu on the shoulder, and sighed, "It's really not easy."
I only realized that the pressure of making movies was so great.
Compared with it, TV series is like pediatrics, and one shot will not be shot for ten or twenty times.
It was a torment for the director and the actor, but fortunately it was finally over.
The TV series is just about the same. Anyway, with the current clarity of the TV, as long as it is not a close-up, the audience will not be able to see it clearly.
Shao Qiu got off the minibus as props, excitedly stepped forward and held Xiong Dawei's hand, hugged Xiong Dawei and patted him hard on the back, and said sincerely: "Thank you for your hard work, Big Bear."
Then he patted Wei Liangfu in the same posture and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Old Wei."
If it weren't for the script provided by Xiong Dawei and Wei Liangfu, Shao Qiu wouldn't have made up his mind to embark on the road of independence.
After all, as the most outstanding male actor in the new generation, Jinding and Jinshui's double actors, his cooperation with the production company is still very pleasant.
Not to mention the good and bad movies, he never missed the pay, and it was paid in advance.
Being a producer and making your own movies is full of hardships.
He is a person in the circle, so of course he knows how difficult the path of independence is to go.
If you do not do well, you will lose money and have a bad reputation, and the reputation of the actors cannot withstand the waste of two bad movies.
If you shoot well, you will be blocked openly and secretly by big production companies.
The players on the poker table are already full, and the big guy will not let a new player with ability and potential squeeze in.
It is a test of his wisdom and connections to make the movie well and break through the secret blockade of the production company.
Fortunately, the Celestial Empire has a large population, with 1.6 billion, and the market is large enough. Around the Pacific Ocean, large companies cannot cover the sky with one hand, so there is always room for activity.
Letting go of Wei Liangfu, Shao Qiu took the initiative to move forward and shake hands with every staff member in the crew to thank him, and said to them with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work."
It can be seen from practical actions that this actor is very good at being a human being, and he has a typical high IQ and higher emotional intelligence.
When facing ordinary staff on the set, they never have any airs and never refuse to take photos and autographs.
His agent brings some fruit pastries to the crew every day.
Shao Qiu himself invested one-third and was the producer of the movie. He can be said to be the boss of the crew. During festivals, he would also give some benefits to the entire crew in the name of the boss.
Occasionally, I would invite the entire crew to the bar for a night of fun.
But when people start, they are not ruthless. They often get late and leave early and keep talking, they get out of the way and don’t let in a move when they talk to the production company about distribution.
After saying hello to the crew, the two starring actors and directors packed the props themselves.
Finally, the camera must be placed and red cloth again. Some superstitious directors will also put on a table again. Thanks to the camera boss for their cooperation throughout the process and bless the movie to sell well.
Wei Liangfu was not so particular, so he covered himself with cloth and said "Thank you for your cooperation".
The props were loaded and ready to be transported back to the warehouse. Shao Qiu turned around and whispered: "Tonight, everyone will not return without getting drunk."
Several supporting actors and crew members shouted out excitedly.
I originally thought the final banquet was arranged in a high-end hotel, and everyone would eat and drink and part.
Unexpectedly, Shao Qiu placed it on the Gold Coast with a bold pride.
It is one of the most elegant nightclubs in Sunshine City. It is a real gold-selling cave, with first-class facilities and the most beautiful girls in the entire Sunshine City nightclub.
Shao Qiu turned his head and asked Xiong Dawei with a joke: "Big Xiong, do you want to report to your family first."
As a result, the actors and assistants around all laughed.
The starring actor comes home on time every day, and it is almost a joke on the crew. When everyone mentions it, they always smile knowingly, and maybe they will secretly joke "I'm afraid of my wife."
"Go," Xiong Dawei rolled his eyes, slapped his chest, and said heroically: "No need."
Wei Liangfu revealed his old truth and said teasingly: "That's right, I asked for instructions yesterday."
Several men burst into laughter.
Shao Qiu shook his head and said with emotion: "I really envy you two."
Wei Liangfu's wife and children are warm and have a happy life. He also brings a beloved wife lunchbox from time to time. Bachelors who sprinkle dog food can choke to death.
Not to mention Xiong Dawei, he is simply their idol, and two rich and beautiful girlfriends took turns to visit the crew.
The bachelors present were in their thirties, forty, and fifty. It was fake to say that they didn't envy their family life.
At night, when she arrived at the magnificent Golden Coast, Shao Qiu directly asked for a large private room with a minimum consumption of more than 10,000 yuan. Following Yingying and Yanyan, a large number of young and beautiful girls flocked to her, and the atmosphere became hot instantly.
Although Zhao Li is not young, he has a pleated face, but he is a veteran in the entertainment industry and is rich in sales. Anyway, he has no wife and children, so he earns his own money and will hug him from both sides when he comes up.
The two little girls were almost stuck on him.
Not to mention Li Zongxiao, all the mothers in nightclubs in Dongdu know him.
He is a singer, not an actor, and he is not afraid of paparazzi taking photos, and he is even more happy to play.
Shao Qiu took good care of his reputation and was very careful in public. He simply pulled Xiong Dawei and Wei Liangfu to sit together to drink, so that his assistant could block the person who wanted to come over.
He came up and had a drink with Xiong Dawei and Wei Liangfu three times, and said sincerely: "Thank you, Big Xiong, Lao Wei. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have made up my mind to do it myself."
He was also stimulated by Xiong Dawei.
Seeing Xiong Dawei and Wei Liangfu, two of them in their 26 or 27 years old, putting down the actors and directors' figures to perform crosstalk in order to make money.
I couldn't continue talking about crosstalk, so I could just make money to shoot TV series. After filming, I took the video to the film festival to sell.
I don’t worry about losing money or not about not being able to sell the movies, so I’ll do it first.
He, a double-produced actor, was hesitant for two years, but to put it bluntly, he was still afraid of failure.
Looking back now, my mentality at that time was really ridiculous.
It is definitely tiring and stressful to invest in a producer yourself, but it is really fun, it's all for yourself.
He has to care about every detail of the movie, and the entire shooting process is painful and happy.
Xiong Dawei smiled and said, "Actually, we borrowed your east wind. Without Aqiu, we wouldn't have thought of making movies."
Shao Qiu laughed: "Let's stop talking nonsense in business."
The word "business" is what he heard from Xiong Dawei. This guy Xiong Dawei will suddenly show some cold humor, which makes people smile.
"Old Wei, can I finish the later period before mid-November?"
"No problem," Wei Liangfu gave Shao Qiu a positive gesture. This movie is not complicated, so it takes some effort to edit it.
The complete plot was already in his mind.
Shao Qiu put down his wine glass and said solemnly: "Okay, then we will schedule it to be released on the New Year's Day holiday, so I'll go to talk to the theaters."
As he said that, he sighed and said, "It's okay this year. The Spring Festival is in mid-February, otherwise it would be really difficult to deal with."
The Spring Festival is the arena for giants.
When Shao Qiu asked the production company for help, none of the big companies was willing to take action, so he had no choice but to find a medium-sized company.
He no longer expects the flesh-and-blood battlefield of the Spring Festival.
This year's New Year's Day is very good. It's more than a month away from the Spring Festival. I don't like the big productions. I've held back my energy and wanted to go to the Spring Festival to grab money.
Small and medium-sized movies are not as appealing as Shao Qiu.
They are like finding a good opportunity in the cracks and it is easy to talk to theaters.
The situation in theaters is even more complicated. Some wear pants with large production companies, chain franchise theaters, and cinema federations.
More privately run independent theaters, with professional agencies providing them with film sources.
Xiong Dawei couldn't figure out the difference between theaters, but Shao Qiu knew it very well and explained the difference to Xiong Dawei.
Simply put, professional theaters are subsidiaries of media groups, and chain franchise is mostly the business of real estate developers.
Cinema United is a cooperative spontaneously organized by regional cinema owners.
In addition to these three, independent cinemas are open everywhere.
Especially in urban and rural areas, they are their exclusive markets.
Shao Qiu aims to join the chain and the theater unit. They are easier to talk to. As long as they make money, they can do whatever company's movies are.
As for the largest number of independent cinemas, we will hand over to professional agency companies.
Because the profits of independent cinemas are small, the collection of funds is extremely slow.
