Huang Bo is worthy of being a future actor. After watching the samples, he told Shao Shuaijun that he had captured the feeling. So he re-shot the scene of the sewer. There are two parts of the sewer. One part is a intact sewer, which is used to shoot the front and back, and the other part is
Dig out half of the sewer and use it to take pictures of the side.
The sewers are full of mud and stink. Most people would want to vomit if they smell it, let alone crawl around in it. It is very hard for actors, especially those who have not made a fortune. Let alone crawling into the sewers, if they really need to, they will just jump into the feces.
You have to jump in the pool too.
The retaken shot was more perfect than the last time. Shao Shuaijun finally nodded with satisfaction, while Huang Bo immediately rushed into the bathroom...
Before I knew it, I had already filmed for seven days. In order to save money, I filmed all the scenes with insignificant supporting roles in seven days, and then sent the crew away to save money. As soon as the filming was completed on the seventh day, Zhao Cheng came over.
The crew, tell Shao Shuaijun some good news.
"Director Shao, Mr. Wang called me just now. "Buried Alive" has been released. The final box office was 23.5 million, ranking fourth among the total box office of movies this year. The first movie exceeded 20 million.
, is there anything you want to say?"
"What do you want to say? It seems that there is nothing."
"Haha, you are so boring. Go to bed early tonight. Li Kai and Wang Yixue will temporarily take over the filming tomorrow. We will go to Beijing to attend the celebration banquet."
"Can you not go?"
"Let's go. Others are eager to brag about their achievements every day. It's better for you. After filming for a few days in the mountain city, the reporter didn't let them in. How can this work? Now is the era of eyeball economy. If you want to have a big box office,
You have to create momentum, and if there is no news, you have to create news..."
"It doesn't matter to me how you do publicity. I won't participate anyway. I just like to make good stories and make good movies. Don't get me involved in this mess." How deep is the water in the entertainment industry? Shao Shuaijun said
It is clear that once you get in, you can't struggle out. He just wants to remain aloof, like the Wachowski brothers who filmed "The Matrix", oh, that's wrong, they are brother and sister, living their own lives in a low-key manner, not life.
In front of the glamorous camera.
"...Forget it, you can do whatever you want, but you'd better go to the celebration party tomorrow. If you don't want to be famous, why don't you do it for Sanxi? Think about it, Anan. If you don't go, no one will know them... Take them with you
Go ahead, I'll call Mr. Wang back right away."
Looking at Liu Sanxi, Anan and others who were packing their equipment, Shao Shuaijun was silent. He was a veteran and had seen through the entertainment industry, but as for people like Liu Sanxi, what they wanted was to become famous. They deserved credit for "Buried Alive"
They had a chance. Moreover, Liu Sanxi and others traveled thousands of miles to join him, Shao Shuaijun, and were busy working in the crew, playing supporting roles and doing handymen at the same time, but they received only a little money.
In fact, there is no one in the entire crew who earns a lot of money. Compared to other film crews, "Crazy Stone" became a super shabby crew because Shao Shuaijun didn't want to raise money and didn't want to be interfered with. If it weren't for expectations for the future, who would
Are you willing to work hard?
Zhao Cheng was on the phone outside, and the staff greeted him one after another and left. Shao Shuaijun sat on the chair and thought for a while. Until the recorder took out the film carelessly and said hello to him.
"Director, I gave the film to Director Zhang." Director Zhang is the production director Zhang Yu, who is responsible for developing and printing the film.
Shao Shuaijun woke up and waved his hand: "Wait a moment, let me ask you something."
"What's the matter?"
"What do you make movies for?"
The sloppy monk Zhang Er was confused: "Director, why are you asking this?"
"For a dream? For fame? Or something else?"
Ma Hu was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "It's too far away to dream of becoming famous. Although I have such extravagant hopes in my heart, my current goal is just to earn a living. Director, look at my answer, is this okay?"
Sloppy is twenty-seven or eighty years old this year. He is very diligent in his work, but a little impatient. Although he is older than Shao Shuaijun, in front of Shao Shuaijun, he always feels like he is a junior.
"Oh, it's okay. You can go and do your work." Shao Shuaijun patted Sloppy's shoulder, quite satisfied with this answer.
After trotting out carelessly, Shao Shuaijun looked at the empty studio and smiled to himself: "I was frightened when I was reborn, and my thoughts were all over the place. The hustle and bustle in the world is all for gain, and the bustling world is all for gain.
Everyone is chasing the word 'profit', but I also want to make money...just deal with the situations that should arise, and leave the rest to yourself, don't always go to extremes, classmate Shao!"
Thinking of this, Shao Shuaijun immediately shouted: "Careless, careless, wait for me!"
"What's the matter?"
Sloppy trotted back again.
"Well, starting from tomorrow, reporters will be allowed to come in for interviews on less important scenes. You can also cooperate with Zhao Cheng to promote it."
"Okay!"
Zhao Cheng walked in just after making a phone call. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Director Shao, have you figured it out?"
"No, I won't accept interviews from reporters casually anyway."
"Keep it mysterious, Director Shao has great ideas."
…
Huayi Brothers made a lot of money from the release of "Buried Alive". According to the domestic box office share, theater chains and movie theaters get the big share, and the distributor gets the small share, but they also get more than 30% of the share, which adds up to sixty-seven percent.
The revenue of one million. The box office alone covered the 5 million buyout cost.
The DVD version of "Buried Alive" has begun printing, and it is expected to earn another five to six million. Including Hong Kong, Taiwan, and overseas distribution, the total revenue can exceed more than fifteen million. While making money, "Buried Alive" has gained a good reputation
It's also very good. At a time when domestic movies are generally in a slump, "Buried Alive" has attracted a lot of attention with its ultra-low cost, profound connotations and creative ideas.
It can be said that this "Buried Alive" directly took Huayi Brothers' film career to a higher level.
Wang Zhonglei's reputation for having a sharp eye for people has spread in the film industry, and the person who directly acted as the negative background is Poly Bona's Yu Dong. As a competitor, Wang Zhonglei often raised his tail in front of Yu Dong to show off his keen eyesight.
As a great hero, when Shao Shuaijun got off the plane, Wang Zhonglei drove up to pick him up in his Daben.
"Xiao Shao, I still say what I said, Huayi Brothers' door is always open for you. When you come in, you will be treated the same as Director Feng Xiaogang. All Huayi Brothers' resources are open to you."
"I understand Mr. Wang's kindness. When I figure it out, I will definitely defect to Mr. Wang." Shao Shuaijun did not finish his words.
Wang Zhonglei smiled, did not continue the topic, and started telling some jokes to liven up the atmosphere. This time the celebration banquet was held at the Beijing International Hotel. Many well-known media were invited to attend. Wang Zhongjun, the president of Huayi Brothers, also appeared at the celebration banquet.
There are also many well-known filmmakers, including director Feng Xiaogang.
