"People on the Road" is an indelible masterpiece in Xu Zheng's film career, with an investment of 8 million and a box office of 40 million. As a small-budget film, there are no big-name stars and no hype, so it can only say that it has 40 million. It's a miracle. And like "Crazy Stone", the movie's reputation is very good, which is why the sequel has such crazy performance.
Now Xu Zheng and Wang Baoqiang are both newcomers to the film industry and are worth wooing.
Shao Shuaijun's ideas are different from those of ordinary people. He doesn't want to win over actors, he prefers to win over directors. Ning Hao has been persuaded by Li Xiuxiu and signed a director's contract with Shao Shuaijun's studio. This director's contract is only a contract to direct a movie and is not responsible for the removal of the movie. Other commercial activities, including the specific brokerage business, are still in his own hands.
However, when Li Xiuxiu signed a contract with Ning Hao, Huayi Brothers were not idle and signed an agent agreement with Ning Hao. It was Zhao Cheng who personally found Ning Hao to sign the contract. The contracting company was Huayi, which has not yet been officially listed. Brothers Pictures Investment Co., Ltd. The contracted directors of this company include Shao Shuaijun, Feng Xiaogang, Teng Huatao, Lu Chuan and others.
While eating and drinking, Shao Shuaijun narrated the script of "People on the Road".
"Old Xu, are you interested in taking this script? Didn't you film "Lee Wei's Official 2"? I'll leave this script to you to direct. How about directing and acting in it yourself?"
"Leave it to me to direct?" Xu Zheng's eyes were full of desire, but hesitant, "But I have never directed a movie, and I am afraid that I will mess up such a good script."
Shao Shuaijun laughed: "Why are you so timid? When I was filming "Crazy Stone", didn't you like to point fingers and pretend to be a great director? I also heard Ning Hao call and say that you are a non-staff director on the crew and you don't have many roles. I have a lot of ideas. Why did I give up at the critical moment?"
"That's right, Lao Xu, you always brag about how good a director you are, why don't you dare to take it on?" Huang Bo directly sarcastically said.
Xu Zheng shook his hair, oh, it was his bald head: "Don't provoke me. Ah Jun, if you are not afraid of messing up your good script, I will dare to direct a good movie for you."
"Haha, I have confidence in you. You are fine now. Come to the crew of "Source Code" to help me and hone my directing skills. I will hand over the script to you. You can take the time to figure out how to shoot and how to build a crew. .”
"Okay, I'm going to put down a few TV series and go make a movie! Come on, everyone, let's do it!"
We drank until midnight and then dispersed.
The next day, they flew to Hong Kong and everyone separated at the airport. Shao Shuaijun took Huang Bo and Xu Zheng and transferred to Shanghai and Tianjin. Huang Bo had to take time to participate in the filming of "Source Code", so he also went to the crew together. On the plane, The three of them were actually recognized by the flight attendant and their signatures were asked for.
It made the three of them feel better, especially Huang Bo, who finally felt like he was a star.
Get off the plane quietly and return to the set quietly.
That night, Wang Yixue and other old acquaintances met and had another good drink. Shao Shuaijun gradually discovered that he had begun to enjoy the feeling of this kind of banquet, which was completely opposite to that in his previous life. At the banquet, he was the real protagonist, not the one being followed. The one ignored.
Shao Shuaijun returns, and the hard days of the "Source Code" crew begin again.
The weather is getting colder and filming is becoming more and more difficult, but there are more and more reporters outside. The influence of the Golden Horse Awards is beginning to show. Although Shao Shuaijun only won one Best Original Screenplay, he had six and seven nominations , has really become popular. Now many reporters outside are clamoring to interview Shao Shuaijun.
Let’s talk about “Source Code” which has been widely criticized recently.
Once Shao Shuaijun started filming, he really turned a blind eye and refused directly. Besides, he had no time to waste, because December was coming to an end, and January was coming, and the Sundance Film Festival was here. From January
He needs to spend at least ten days in the United States from the 18th to January 28th.
Huayi Brothers regards "Buried Alive" as a pioneer in opening up the North American market and takes it very seriously. If "Buried Alive" is successful, it will have a good promotion effect on the subsequent "Source Code". Shao Shuaijun himself also has a big plan.
Need to be executed in the United States.
…
"Liu Yifei, don't laugh, it got stuck four times. Try again!"
"Huang Bo, show more disdain. You must know that you are now summoned by the court and are in a bad mood! Do it again!"
"Zhang Hanyu, be self-restrained, show self-restraint, you are a software engineer, not an angry youth! Do it again!"
"Marco, are you a college student? Don't lift your hair like a little girl. Try again!"
"Ren Quan, who is the bomber? A madman, or a perfectionist. He wants to destroy the world to rebuild it. He is not doing evil just for the sake of doing evil. You have to show this kind of paranoid spirit and think about it carefully.
Come!"
Time flies, and the progress of "Source Code" is also very fast. The regular shooting content is basically exhausted in early January. There are still some difficult shooting content left.
"Liu Yifei, let's rehearse the moves for this kiss scene first. Wang Yixue, fix the camera and set it up, and lead people to lay smooth tracks on the aisle." Shao Shuaijun shouted loudly.
"Director, everything is ready, let's start moving."
"good."
After saying that, Shao Shuaijun and Liu Yifei faced each other on the chair, and then Shao Shuaijun leaned over, almost close to Liu Yifei's face. Suddenly there was a girl's fragrance in his nostrils, and in his eyes was the girl's delicate ears, and her skin was as delicate as a baby's, white and rosy.
.
"Director, hands! Stretch out your hands! You have to pretend to be hugging Sissi!" Wang Yixue shouted.
"Oh. Got it."
In this scene, Li Xu, played by Shao Shuaijun, started to investigate the bomber, but Feifei, played by Liu Yifei, didn't know what was going on and asked questions. The impatient Li Xu kissed Feifei directly and stopped the girl from chattering. Shao Shuaijun quickly reached out and asked the host
Liu Yifei's hair.
To be honest, Shao Shuaijun is not charming now and is very focused. As an assistant director in his previous life, he taught others about kissing scenes step by step. Sometimes he even had to play female characters, co-star with male actors, and guide female actors. Originally, he was responsible for directing filming.
It is the responsibility of the director, but some directors are too lazy to cuddle with the elders, so they delegate this to the assistant director.
Therefore, I have hugged and hugged all the old men, let alone hugged and hugged women. Sometimes there is no need to take advantage of me, and some unpopular little stars will even take the initiative to get in touch with me. The assistant director is also a director.
Shao Shuaijun was very attentive, but Liu Yifei burst out laughing.
"What's going on? Pay attention!" Shao Shuaijun was very dissatisfied. Liu Yifei had the most problems in the entire crew.
Liu Yifei kept laughing, ignored Shao Shuaijun's scolding, and turned to look out the window: "Mom, what are you looking at me doing? It makes me embarrassed to film."
It turned out that Liu Xiaoli was standing outside the train, peering inside the train to prevent any skimmers from happening.
"Oh, let me see if you have finished filming." Liu Xiaoli walked away as if nothing had happened.
Shao Shuaijun was speechless: "Okay, let's start again!"
Holding Liu Yifei's head, Shao Shuaijun kissed the air. Then he immediately ran behind the camera to observe.
"No, the space of the train is too narrow, the angle of borrowing seats is not enough, and the layering is too clear. It looks fake at first glance." Wang Yixue said with a frown.
