Shao Shuaijun stood in front of the mirror and looked at the young and tender face in the mirror. After a long time, he took a handful of water and slapped it hard on his face. He was already sure that he was reborn from 2013 to 2004. In this year, he just
I am over 18 years old, but I have not been admitted to any school in Drama, China Drama, or Nortel.
Currently he is renting a house in a village not far from Hengdian. He usually works as a group actor to earn a living. When he has free time, he teaches himself the knowledge of directing. If he continues to move forward according to the historical trajectory, he will make a living in the next few years.
Here, from extras to set management, from lighting to props, I finally became the assistant director.
This assistant director has been working for more than three years and has worked with seven crews. He works from dawn to dusk and works as a director and gets paid as a set manager. Despite the hard work, Shao Shuaijun still perseveres and hopes to have a better future.
One day he could be his own director. In 2013, he finally realized this wish, and Dengtian Entertainment agreed to invite him to be the director of a movie.
From finalizing the script, to setting the shots, from actor makeup to scene selection, Shao Shuaijun only slept for three hours a day, and spent the rest of his time on the movie. A month later, the movie started shooting, but he was not the director. Dengtian Entertainment
After Shao Shuaijun finished all the preparations, he temporarily changed the director to a new director born in the 1990s.
Shao Shuaijun couldn't think about it, got drunk and got into a car accident, and then he came to March 16, 2004.
The cold water awakened Shao Shuaijun from his memories. In any case, he was reborn. After the first few days of discomfort, Shao Shuaijun began to examine his current situation. In his previous life, he was in the entertainment industry. Although he worked hard, he was dull by nature.
He has no connections and no background, so he can only look at other people's glory, while he is doing nothing but good things.
The director was replaced at short notice, and there was no one to help him say a word. A career in the entertainment industry cannot be said to be a failure.
When he was just reborn, Shao Shuaijun also imagined that he could make a fortune by relying on ten years of memories. But his dream was soon shattered, and he wasted nearly ten years without knowing anything except his directing skills. He knows the stocks of Tencent, Google, and Facebook.
It will rise, but there is no money in his pocket; he knows that the World Cup is very popular, but he is not a fan and does not know whether to win or lose; he knows that the economic crisis is going to break out, but he has forgotten the specific year...
The only thing he understands and is most familiar with is movies. He has been in the entertainment industry for so many years, and he has watched almost every popular movie hundreds of times, learned from the success, and imagined making it himself.
How to shoot? He even participated in the filming of some popular movies.
After wiping his face, Shao Shuaijun felt a little irritated.
If he could, he really didn't want to enter the entertainment industry anymore. It was a circle that was light on the surface and dark on the inside, which was tiring. The behavior of Dengtian Entertainment shattered Shao Shuaijun's dream and made him hate the entertainment industry all these years.
I broke out and began to hate it all.
"I actually just want to find a job, make money, and be filial to my parents! In my previous life, I only worked hard on myself and didn't even have time to take care of my dad when he was hospitalized. I can't be an asshole anymore in this life! But what else can I do? I didn't even go to college for the sake of movies.
, I just went to Hengdian to do horizontal drifting... My only confidence is that I can make movies. I have ten years of memory and countless good movies..."
After breakfast, Shao Shuaijun finally made a decision.
Although he began to reject the entertainment industry, he still decided to make movies. This was the only way for him to make money and make a lot of money. God arranged for him to be reborn, so he should live well and enjoy life!
To make a movie, you must first have a script, and Shao Shuaijun has a lot of it in his mind. The second step is to invest. Shao Shuaijun was speechless when he felt that there were only 800 yuan in his pocket. Of course, he was not depressed. As a reborn person, he made a lot of money.
It's easy to make a little money.
Based on the memory in his mind, Shao Shuaijun knew that the famous director Zhang Yimou had just finished shooting "House of Flying Daggers" and the crew was reshooting scenes at the Hengdian Film and Television Base, and he himself was also in Hengdian. Touching his chin, Shao Shuaijun took out a pen and paper and began to immerse himself in it.
creation.
What he wants to create is a script, "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree", which is a literary film script adapted from the novel of the same name. The novel of the same name began to be written in 2006. Once it was published, it received critical acclaim from directors such as Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang, and Li Yang.
After paying attention, Zhang Yimou finally grabbed the copyright and made a movie.
As a literary film that broke records and earned 160 million at the box office, "Love at the Hawthorn Tree" was also studied by Shao Shuaijun for a long time. Of course, this movie is about love in the 1970s, and Shao Shuaijun didn't understand it very much.
It is deep, but it does not prevent him from writing it completely.
For three consecutive days, the script of "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" was freshly released with the fragrance of ink. Shao Shuaijun put it in his arms, took care of his appearance, and went out. He first went to the Hengdian Copyright Office to register the script, and then went to "Ten
The filming location of "Ambush in the Face". The filming location has put up banners to prohibit tourists from entering, and Shao Shuaijun is no exception. There is no way to see Zhang Yimou directly.
Shao Shuaijun could only hand the script to Zhang Yimou's external relations assistant, write his name and contact address on the script, and then go home and wait. With the excellence of the script of "Hawthorn Tree Love", Zhang Yimou will definitely take the initiative once he sees it.
Contact him. Shao Shuaijun is not in a hurry. He is now anxious to think about his first movie.
"Although the script is good, literary film scripts are always cheap. The price is estimated to be 108,000 yuan at most. Fortunately, 108,000 yuan is almost enough to work on my own movie script."
After brushing and brushing, Shao Shuaijun took up his pen and wrote the name of the movie on the white paper - "Buried Alive".
In this 2010 noir film directed by Spanish director Rodrigo Cortes, popular Hollywood star Ryan Reynolds plays a contract truck driver who is kidnapped in Iraq and wakes up to find that he has been kidnapped.
He was put into a coffin and buried alive somewhere in the Iraqi desert. He only had a lighter, a mobile phone, two fluorescent sticks, a flashlight that flickered on and off, and a pen.
This is probably the smallest thriller. The entire story of "Buried Alive" takes place in a coffin. And the entire 94-minute movie is about Paul calling for help and negotiating with the kidnappers in the coffin. If not
Counting the woman who was shot and killed in the cell phone video, Reynolds is the only one who appears in this film, plus a snake that slipped into the coffin midway. Even the miracle of a low-budget film, "The Ghost Story", at least has a house.
When it comes to the background of the story and the appearance of a few people, "Buried Alive" is simply the simplest and low-carbon movie.
The original production cost of this movie was almost 2 million US dollars. Of course, this refers to the salary of starring Ryan Reynolds. Shao Shuaijun calculated that 10,000 yuan for props and equipment would be enough, and the pictures would be more elaborately packaged, plus promotion.
The travel expenses can be paid for within 50,000 yuan.
The only thing that costs a lot of money is the actors. Even if he doesn't ask for a high box office, Shao Shuaijun still has to find an actor with acting skills, plus a flashy woman...
