In this way, Wu Huiliang successfully recruited a team. After returning, he rented a decent empty room, renovated it, purchased a set of filming equipment, and began to study the script with Shuping.
In two days, I scraped the rough parts and selected the essentials, and printed out a few pages of each actor's expressions and dialogues. Because most of the scenes described in the novel are very real and full of pyrotechnics.
Wu Huiliang deliberately selected some old places for filming, including unique community buildings and restaurants in the 1970s, as well as karaoke nightclubs full of smoky atmosphere and full of dancers. After discussing the rental price, he arranged for Xu Li and the whole family to be shot.
All the crew members were brought to the filming location. Several copies of the script were printed and distributed among them.
After everyone gets into the mood, they start debugging the equipment, asking them to memorize their lines on the spot and start performing.
According to previous impressions, this drama only has one female protagonist, who is a fierce Beijing girl. There are three male protagonists in total, one is a self-employed person, one is a peacekeeper with a computer, and one is the manager of a karaoke nightclub. The remaining extras are
, A, B, C, etc. Some have very few lines, and some only have the opportunity to show their faces...it is not that complicated to shoot.
Wu Huiliang originally wanted Xu Li to be the heroine, but after Xu Li read the script, she said that the heroine's character was quite inconsistent and she was not a professional, so she might not be able to play the role.
Wu Huiliang tried to persuade her again and again, but after she refused, he could only give up and said with a smile: "Okay, then you can watch us shoot first. If you are interested in this job, we will consider whether to use you in the next film..."
Xu Li nodded.
After getting her permission, Wu Huiliang began to re-select the heroine and auditioned the actresses who came for the interview. After working all morning, he finally selected an eccentric and sexy actor among a hundred junior college students.
. handed him the script and said: "The audition just now was generally okay, but it would be good if it could be more open. Because there is a scene in it. Although the shot is very short, it can make this character
His character is highlighted. After I go back, I will recite the lines several times and try to memorize them by tomorrow morning."
"I just discussed it with our screenwriter. As long as you perform well, this work will definitely be able to make it into the entertainment industry. When the time comes, whether it can be upgraded to a big hit depends on your luck."
After hearing this, the actress smiled happily: "Thank you, I will work hard."
Next, there were still a few male leads and some extras. Wu Huiliang auditioned the actors for the audition one by one based on their images. After confirming the actors, he officially started filming.
I thought that when I became a director for the first time, there would be some problems during the filming. Who would have thought, but it turned out to be surprisingly smooth. It only took less than ten days to shoot this short film.
Among them, it is inseparable from the efforts of the screenwriter and actors. Wu Huiliang and Xu Li basically did not play a big role. They just showed off their affection on the set, which made many people envious.
On the morning of the eleventh day, Wu Huiliang took the film to Hua Sen of the Cultural Affairs Bureau and said to him: "Manager Hua, the end of the month has not come yet, I can be a part of the collection activity."
Hua Sen's attitude towards him was similar to the one when they first met. He felt that the young man in front of him was more impetuous, so he smiled and said: "It is easy to participate in the solicitation activities, but it is more difficult to achieve the audience's approval. Since you are so confident, okay, then
I won’t stop you. But before that, I need to check whether your work is in line with the theme of our collection."
Wu Huiliang readily agreed, and after saying that, he submitted the photos he had taken. He and Hua Sen came to the conference room and borrowed the film cloth used for the meeting to play it simultaneously.
At first, Hanamori held his chin with a bored expression.
However, after reading the entire work, I suddenly felt like a different person.
He clapped his hands and applauded: "Good! What a great movie "Let's Talk"! As an audience who only takes movies as a pastime and fun, I rarely see such movies. In fact, there are many such movies, but rarely this one.
The effect of the film is either pursuing big scenes or pursuing good looks. I can only say that you have captured your own taste. Whether it is an MTV-style shaking camera or a dim and misty picture, it is full of the atmosphere of that era. Although
Sometimes it makes me dizzy and my eyes hurt..."
"It's really hard to imagine that you would make such a film."
"Why do I feel so awkward hearing this?" Wu Huiliang smiled. It seemed that he was not surprised at all to be recognized by the other party, but he didn't expect that he was devaluing himself in his heart from the beginning.
Hua Sen seemed to be still immersed in the movie, and he still hadn't finished it. After a while, he laughed loudly: "Hahaha, this is also a misunderstanding. I blame me for not spending too much time getting to know you. Because when we first met, your attitude...
He behaves like an exaggerated person."
"Really?" Wu Huiliang also laughed a few times like him to ease the embarrassment, "If young people are not crazy, they will definitely have no chance to get ahead. If they are not crazy after the age of thirty, they will definitely have a chance to get ahead. This
This is my mantra. If you don’t understand it, maybe you are not mature enough.”
Only then did Hua Sen feel that he was a unique young man. He suddenly became curious about him and wanted to make good friends with him. He patted his shoulder and said, "You are so funny..."
"Where, where."
"If you don't mind, let's be friends." Hua Sen said, "This film will definitely become a god, believe me."
"Well, I believe in you, and I believe in myself even more."
…
The two sat in the conference room and talked for a while, turning from strangers into good friends who talked about everything. After a while, they walked out.
Hua Sen signed up Wu Huiliang and wrote the title of the work after his name, which was submitted to Jiao City TV station for review. Once completed, it can be broadcast in turn with other works.
When Wu Huiliang saw that he had given a satisfactory answer, he celebrated with the entire crew when he returned home.
In a blink of an eye, the end of the month is here.
Start to evaluate the pros and cons of each work.
Jiaoshi TV Station specially asked the host of this station to answer the phone calls from the audience and listen to the voices of each of them.
As a result, surprisingly, many viewers unanimously chose "Speak Well" written and directed by Shu Ping.
"After breakfast, I turned on the TV and watched it. When I was bored, I watched it. I laughed so hard that I felt like I was on my feet. Several times I wanted to leave to watch the planned movie while I was buying ads. But I was still attracted by the plot and couldn't bear to leave. So,
I kept watching the movie like this...I felt unsatisfied after that, so I went back to fill in the ten minutes of scenes I missed at the beginning, and I didn't expect to laugh even more miserably! Fortunately, my appendix wound has almost healed..."
"The English name of this place is keepcool, damn it."
"It still has educational significance to this day: if you have something to say, say it well."
