"It's like this. Our promotional video this time focuses on humanistic care. It also tells the story of a boy with a disability and his love dream."
"Basically, out of the ten-minute set, about ten minutes are the male protagonist's solo show, so the choice of the male protagonist is very important."
"Although it is a short film, during the film festival, basically every day during the film festival, a video clip will be made before the film is screened and broadcast on a loop, so the publicity is quite strong."
"You see you are also a newcomer, and I heard that if everything goes well during the Spring Festival this year, you will have two movies released at the same time. This is an excellent opportunity."
"As a newcomer, I should be the first to appear in a promotional video at a film festival, so that I can increase my visibility among audiences and filmmakers before the film is officially released."
"what do you think?"
For some reason, Director Huang's attitude seemed to be very humble. When talking to Wu Di, his eyes were shining.
This made Wu Di feel very panicked. Originally, he didn't think much about it at all, but now, he couldn't help but think divergently.
"Director Zhang, what do you think?"
At this time, the only one we can count on is Zhang Feng!
Lao Zhang and Lao Huang were all old foxes who planned to drag him into the game. Wu Di instinctively put up a warning, always feeling that danger was gradually approaching.
And what did Zhang Feng think about it?
Ever since the topic of filming the short film came up, Zhang Feng has stopped talking, and his expression has relaxed a lot.
Until later, there was even a sense of joy.
What's so happy about this?
It wasn't until Wu Di looked up at her that Zhang Feng paused and said, "It can be considered an experiment. If conditions permit, you might as well give it a try."
"Anyway, you haven't had much to do lately."
All right!
Since everyone supports it, there is no need for Wu Di not to agree. Isn't it just pretending to be a disabled person, although Wu Di doesn't think there is any need to be sincere about it.
From all aspects, there is no problem at all in finding an actor who is currently in good health to play the role.
However, who would refuse the opportunity presented to them?
"good!"
"When will it start? I'll be ready." Just do it. Wu Di is also a happy person. He has already called a nurse and rented a wheelchair.
Since you want to film a scene in a wheelchair, you have to adapt to the environment first.
When Director Huang heard this, he burst into laughter.
"There is no other day than today!"
"Quick, there will be a brief opening ceremony in the afternoon. Come and participate, and then we will officially enter the studio for shooting."
"There aren't many exterior scenes. It can be shot in three days, so it won't waste much time."
"What?"
"Only three days?"
Wu Di looked embarrassed. Although he thought that time was tight, he was not so exaggerated!
While he was talking, the wheelchair had already been sent to the fifth floor, and Director Huang pulled Wu Di up without any explanation.
"Isn't three days bad?"
"Quick victory!"
"While you are in good condition, you will feel at ease after the filming."
In good condition?
That's it?
Also applauded?
Of course, there is a big difference between how good Wu Di is and how good Director Huang is. Why Huang went to great lengths to choose Wu Di is of course because of his natural state.
Could there be any other reasons?
Wu Di is a newcomer, and his acting skills have not yet been judged by the public, and he does not have a high reputation that can add glory to the film festival.
It can be said that letting him make this short film is definitely promoting him and giving him a chance!
Director Huang was also very busy with business. Wu Di had just put on his coat when he pushed him out, pushed him out, pushed him out.
"Hey, wait a minute!"
Wu Di only felt a sudden force coming out from behind, and then, the wheelchair rolling forward suddenly stopped.
Director Huang was stunned: "Xiao Zhang, what else do you want?"
"Don't worry, today's scenes are all very simple studio shots. I will definitely take good care of Xiao Wu and not let his injury get worse."
For some reason, Lao Huang began to make promises to Zhang Feng, even though no one had such a request for him.
Furthermore, does Zhang Feng care about this?
Lao Huang's attitude was correct, but Zhang Feng did not let go. However, his expression was very good-looking. I wonder what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd.
Wu Di, who was sitting in a wheelchair, was already lower than them. Now, he was not qualified to participate in the discussion and could only stare.
"Director Huang, it's like this. I just want to discuss participating in the film festival."
"I think, if possible, this film could also be used as the opening or closing film at the film festival."
Oh, it turns out it was for his own sake. Wu Di was both relieved and disappointed.
I thought I kissed Xiao Fengfeng because I was worried about his personal safety. Isn't that just being sentimental?
Opening video?
Director Huang was really interested, so Wu Di, who was about to be pushed out of the spotlight, was pulled back again.
During their negotiation, Lao Zhang seemed to be taking his time, looking at the pots of ornamental plants on the windowsill from time to time.
Although they are all cheap and easy to feed species, Lao Zhang is still interested in them.
“It’s not okay to use plastic basins!”
"It's a pity that the ventilation is not good."
Lao Zhang was enjoying himself, and the negotiation between Lao Huang and Xiao Zhang was also going on happily.
"It's like this. The editing has been completed here. I want to hurry up and get the license in the next two days. If everything goes well, maybe I can catch up with the opening of the film festival. If I can't catch up with the opening, the closing film can also be
."
Is the editing complete?
Can everyone apply for a license?
Are your hands and feet so fast?
Wu Di was stunned. Zhang Feng didn't reveal any information to him. Furthermore, when did she come?
Although the two of them don't stick together every day, it's almost the same. After all, they live in the same mansion. Wu Di almost knows what time Zhang Feng goes out and what time he finishes work every day.
When I have free time on weekends, I am often dragged by Wu Di and others to participate in various entertainment activities, and I am almost never idle.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! I really can’t imagine where Zhang Feng found the time to manage so many things.
Director Huang listened carefully, nodded and said, "This is not a bad idea."
"The opening film may not be ready in time, as advance publicity has been released and films have been selected, but the closing film can indeed be considered."
"The film festival will last for about a week. If you can get the permit during this time, I can give you a place."
The so-called opening films and closing films generally have certain requirements. Sometimes, if there are popular new films with relatively good quality or that are more literary and artistic, they will choose to premiere in the film industry, that is,
The opening video can also be regarded as a way to compete for awards or increase visibility.
After this kind of film is released to the public, it can still go to theaters and be screened on a large scale.
However, the opening film or the closing film does not necessarily require new films. As a subsidiary work of the film festival, many classic and old films will also be restored on Blu-ray by the film festival's investors.
Restored old films can also be screened at film festivals, and these high-profile classic films are also a good choice for opening and closing films.
Therefore, when it comes to the choice of movies, Director Huang and other members of the jury still have a relatively large right to choose.
If Zhang Feng moves quickly enough and can catch up with the closing time, it is not impossible to make room for the new film.
"Are you really going to do this, Director Zhang?"
The two directors were chatting happily, and suddenly, a sentence came out from below, and it was Wu Di who was speaking.
"why not?"
Zhang Feng immediately understood what Wu Di meant. As the relationship between the two deepened, Zhang Feng's understanding of Wu Di deepened.
This person has always been like this. Peace is always his essence. Even if he objects, he will not speak out directly, or simply express his disapproval.
He would only express his feelings tactfully, but at this moment, Wu Di just didn't agree.
This is strange.
Hasn’t he been the one who has always been most advocating for expanding the scope of publicity and increasing the intensity of publicity?
Being the opening film of a film festival is the best way to promote it. Why should you object?
Why!
When it comes to this reason, it is easy to feel embarrassed. Wu Di is indeed a bit reluctant to speak, mainly because once these reasons are mentioned, it is easy to offend people.
It really doesn’t fit his easy-going and humble personality label.
"talk!"
"Now that we've started, there's no need to hide it." Zhang Feng's eyes widened and he kept looking directly at Wu Di, full of intimidation.
She had already vaguely felt that the reason for Wu Di's objection must be hers.
Being stared at by her, Wu Di had to tell the truth: "First, because of the type of our film, we are a commercial film, not an artistic film. In my opinion, commercial films are not suitable for early exposure at film festivals.
It doesn’t fit the tone of the film festival either.”
"You are so narrow-minded. Today's film festivals are no longer so highbrow. Films of all types are very welcome."
hehe!
Even if someone else’s video is popular, it won’t work if it’s reskinned!
In fact, when facing several seniors, Wu Di didn't want to tell the truth. After all, Zhang Feng was also a person who wanted to save face.
However, now a certain woman was looking at him with particularly contemptuous and provocative eyes, as if Wu Di's good intentions were all deliberately to embarrass her.
no solution anymore.
Director Huang was also very attentive, as if he could go to the film festival immediately if he had a license.
Wu Di could only tell the truth.
"You forced me to do this." He was going to say ugly things first. This was Wu Di's attitude. Zhang Feng shook his head coolly and didn't take it to heart at all.
Wu Di licked his lips, looked at Director Huang and said: "Commercial films are secondary. The most important thing is that before the film is officially released during the Spring Festival, it still needs to maintain a certain sense of mystery."
"Mystery?"
"Are you worried that the source of the film will be leaked in advance?"
Although mobile phones with camera functions were not yet popular in 2009, even if there were some new models with such functions, they were often very rudimentary.
Even directional static faces cannot be captured clearly, let alone high-definition movie and video plots.
However, stolen photography and recording occasionally occur.
The most important thing is that the storyline of the movie will be released in advance.
Huh?
This was a good reason, Wu Di nodded quickly.
"It's definitely possible!"
"Director Zhang, our movie is going to be the best in the Spring Festival. If the plot is known to the audience in advance, especially the key plots, wouldn't it lose a lot of box office?"
Originally, the core of the skin-changing story is relatively simple, and it cannot be spoiled in advance. Once it is spoiled, it will become boring when you look at the real thing.
It's not the kind of movie that has a lot of information. Even if a few plots are leaked, the audience is still interested in finding out.
Zhang Feng's attitude softened, but he still didn't give up.
"It won't be that fast!"
"There is not much time left before the Spring Festival. As long as we can grasp this time difference, we can not only play a promotional role but also maintain a sense of mystery."
Tsk tsk...
Unexpectedly, a very young person still has such old ideas.
Wu Di sighed and said in a regretful tone: "Director Zhang, this is not the past. This is the era of scarves. Don't you brush your scarf every day and see how much information there is on it?"
"After having the scarf, the speed of information dissemination is geometric. The speed is very fast. It can be transmitted to ten people or hundreds of people. It will be difficult to recover the losses."
Of course Wu Di understands what will happen after the boom of scarves, but frankly speaking, in the era they are in now, scarves have not yet expanded to the extent that they are necessary for life.
The intensity and breadth of dissemination is limited.
However, in order to achieve the goal and achieve better results in the skin-changing movie, appropriate deception is also possible.
"Oh well!"
"Let's leave this matter as it is, and I'll think about it later."
What else to consider?
What a death-dealer!
In this way, Director Huang dragged Little Didi to the set of the promotional film. Before leaving, Wu Di specially gave Zhang Feng a look.
Director Zhang, you must think twice before you act!
This is not something to be taken lightly!
The warnings have been sent out, and Wu Di has done his part. He can also be said to have a clear conscience towards Zhang Feng and the skin-changing crew.
Although he was in a wheelchair, Wu Di was not really injured to the point of needing to use a wheelchair. Therefore, after getting in the car, he could still move freely and did not need the constant care of Director Huang and his assistant.
When he came out of the front door of the hospital, Wu Di discovered that Director Huang and Lao Zhang had indeed planned it.
In order to make it easier for him, a wheelchair user, to pick up and drop off, Director Huang also specially drove a nanny car. Isn't it convenient to get on and off the car?
The space is also large enough, allowing Wu Di to reach the shooting location very comfortably.
Since they are so fully prepared, Wu Di can't say anything else. As a newcomer, he should be highly regarded for being able to have such an arrangement.
From this point of view, Lao Zhang still takes great care of Wu Di, although his methods are a bit unacceptable.
Wu Di sprained his foot, and it only lasted a day. Lao Zhang seized this opportunity and helped him contact new business.
Although Director Huang's difficulties were certainly not brought up in the past two days, they should have been in contact with each other for a long time. Director Huang's old friend mentioned that there was such an urgent matter to be done recently, and the time was very tight, because it was early
After saying hello, when Wu Di happened to be injured, Lao Zhang could quickly pick him up.
This is also very normal.
After all, Wu Di is now living in Zhang's house. Although the old couple does not pay attention to his whereabouts every day, if Zhang Feng needs to help him get daily necessities, they will naturally be alerted.
With such an exchange of information between each other, wouldn't it be a matter of course?
Now that I think about it, I don't know whether it was a blessing or a curse to move to Zhang's house. If they hadn't lived together, even if Lao Zhang had this need, he wouldn't have summoned Wu Di right away.
want to rest!
A rare moment of rest!
Looks like it’s going to be in trouble again!
However, those changes of clothes and daily necessities are all brought for nothing, so why not just leave them at home?
Now that he's been dragged to the set, don't expect anyone to take Wu Di back to the hospital after the filming is over.
His hands and feet were so quick that he might even have completed the discharge procedures.
Since it was a short film, the shooting location was not too complicated. After getting in the car, Director Huang handed the script in his hand to Wu Di.
After receiving the script, Wu Di discovered why Director Huang was so sure that he would be competent.
Lines?
That's just a few words.
Location?
There are only about two of them, so you don’t need to go too far. They are just around the periphery of the studio, and can be done in three or two small streets.
In this way, the only thing missing may be the candidate for the male lead.
Director Huang’s idea is absolutely correct!
"Xiao Wu, I trust your acting skills. Lao Zhang told me last night that not only does he think you are good, but you can also be the leading actor in Xiao Feng's movie, and the scenes are all good.
That’s right, this promotional video only lasts for ten minutes, so you don’t need to be nervous. With your ability, you are completely capable of doing it.”
Wu Di kept thanking him, and Ji Xiang couldn't finish his words.
Is this the advantage brought by the introduction of famous directors?
At this stage of life, I have never seen a director specifically come to comfort the actors, don't be nervous, they will definitely be able to do the job.
"Director Huang is overly praised. Two of my works have not been released yet. How can you see my play?"
"But don't worry, I will definitely work hard to meet your requirements."
As a newcomer, you just have to look like this to take a look. This is a must.
Maintaining a humble attitude is what Wu Di has been doing since he got a serious role, and he has always maintained it very well.
This is not because Wu Di has great abilities, but because his true temperament is like this.
Perhaps this is the mutual influence between the previous life and this life. This influence is of course also reflected in the way we deal with things.
Wu Di in his previous life was certainly not a submissive person who always smiled at everyone he saw.
At that time, no matter how he treated the outside world, he was still very arrogant in the circle of friends he had contact with.
He is basically the one who attracts the most attention. Which friend doesn’t support him?
However, now, it can be said that Wu Di's role has been completely changed from his previous life, and he has become the person who is supported every day.
It can be seen that the original person has a very humble and cowardly personality. Everyone thinks that he is the boss, and everyone should say good things and support him.
Therefore, his behavior has also profoundly affected Wu Di's current strategic choices. It can only be said that it is acceptable.
