As soon as he received the news from Chen Ming, Wan Youcai took action.
Not only him,
Liao Pingshui also couldn't wait to go to the filming site.
Because the filming location was in Yuncheng, Chen Ming didn't need to work hard to find the filming location by taking a taxi.
The last day of February.
Chen Ming arrived at the filming site of "Psychological Crime: City Lights", and all the crew members were already in place.
this time,
Chen Ming did not recommend actors for other roles to Wan Youcai.
In addition to the character Fang Mu,
The casting of the remaining roles in the film is decided by Wan Youcai personally.
certainly,
If during the filming process, Chen Ming feels that an actor does not match the role, he will propose to change the actor.
Chen Ming is responsible for the audience.
Moreover,
Wan Youcai also doesn’t want such a good movie to suffer at the box office because of someone’s drag.
With emotion and reason,
Chen Ming has the right to change actors.
And this,
Wan Youcai and Liao Pingshui knew it very well.
It can be said,
In the entire crew, Chen Ming has the most say. Even the director Wan Youcai is not as effective as Chen Ming.
After Chen Ming arrived at the venue according to the address provided by Wan Youcai, he was surprised to find that the scene Wan Youcai was looking for was not simply constructed.
He really spent a lot of money to restore various scenes in the script.
Except for some outdoor shots that require changing locations, the rest of the scenes can be completed in this not-so-wide area.
certainly,
The most important thing is the lighting and sound effects.
Any excellent crime suspense movie is inseparable from just the right lighting rendering and background sound effects.
Anyone who has watched the TV series "Psychological Crime" should have a deep understanding of these two points.
Chen Ming was not sure whether Wan Youcai had watched the TV series "Psychological Crime", but he thought he should have an idea.
Seeing Chen Ming arrive,
Wan Youcai hurriedly came over to greet him.
Naturally, Liao Pingshui followed closely behind.
Wan Youcai's hearty laughter made many people look at Chen Ming: "Mr. Chen, you're finally here. Basically, the indoor scenes are all set up. Do you want to check it out?"
"No need, you are the director, you just have to check."
Chen Ming declined.
to be honest,
In the revised script, Chen Ming described every changed scene in great detail.
If you follow the layout in the script, the effect will definitely be impressive.
As long as Wan Youcai is not a pig-headed person, then Chen Ming is still very relieved about the arrangement of the scene.
The next second,
Chen Ming looked at Liao Pingshui on the side and said with a smile: "Screenwriter Liao, long time no see."
Speaking of which,
The person Chen Ming really had a problem with was Liao Pingshui.
After all, it was Liao Pingshui who looked down on Chen Ming at the beginning, and it was Liao Pingshui who encouraged Wan Youcai to plagiarize "Old Nine Gates".
To put it bluntly,
Wanyoucai is just a middleman.
He offended Chen Ming after listening to Liao Pingshui's words.
However, Chen Ming had to admit it.
Liao Pingshui is much smarter than Wan Youcai.
His rational analysis ability is much higher than that of Wancai, and in most cases, his thoughts will not be affected by the outside world.
Liao Pingshui smiled awkwardly: "How dare I call myself a screenwriter in front of you? I'm here to learn."
Liao Pingshui's posture was very low.
For a man in his fifties to be so groveling to a young man in his twenties, it can only be said that Liao Pingshui is capable of bending and stretching.
Chen Ming didn't say much.
What happened in the past is past.
a long time ago,
Chen Ming's Wan Youcai and Liao Pingshui's plagiarism of the TV series "Old Nine Gates" made it clear: as long as the two publicly apologize, the grudge will be wiped out.
After all this time, Chen Ming is not a small-minded person.
For now, Chen Ming and Wanyou have a cooperative relationship.
And Liao Pingshui should be the investor.
There are not many people willing to lend money to Wan Youcai, and Liao Pingshui should be the most likely one.
Chen Ming briefly looked around the filming location and found that everyone on the crew was quietly watching him with awe and admiration.
It turns out this is what it feels like to be a big star.
Wan Youcai seemed a little anxious: "How about... we officially start filming?"
Time is money.
He couldn't wait to see the movie come out.
Absolutely shocked the entire film industry!
During this time,
Through various means, Wan Youcai finally found the resources for the TV series "Psychological Crime".
After watching the TV series,
Wan Youcai only had two words in his heart: horror.
He was frightened by Chen Ming's acting skills in the TV series, as if he had seen Chen Ming's second personality.
That feeling makes one's back feel chilly.
Not only that,
The logic in the TV series seems a bit exaggerated, but it is within people's acceptability.
The key is,
There are no big holes in the logic.
This is definitely the most eye-catching aspect of crime dramas.
Many Chinese crime film and television works often weaken the logic of the plot in order to create a suspenseful and ups and downs effect.
It's like watching a science fiction movie.
When you watch a science fiction movie, what you see is the special effects and shots that cost millions per frame, and it is very enjoyable. But when it comes to a crime movie, what you see is the atmosphere.
The simplest example is when a policeman is racing with a prisoner in an alley. As he is running, the policeman suddenly starts to take a shortcut and successfully runs out from the side and catches the prisoner.
When you watch this long shot of running, with the tense sound effects and camera angle changes, you naturally won't think about: Why did the police know there was a shortcut?
This is the benefit of atmosphere.
It will make all your thinking focus on the current picture instead of thinking about more logical things.
Most crime movies in China are shot according to this idea.
Because of this, you cannot watch this kind of work a second time.
Because the more times they watch it, the audience starts to think more.
Once you think too much, the deficiencies in the plot will become apparent.
But the TV series "Psychological Crime" filmed by Chen Ming has no worries in all aspects.
This TV series has been praised as the most worth-watching TV series in the past ten years in Eastern Continent. If it had not been banned and removed from the shelves, this TV series would also have become popular in Central Continent and other continents.
to be honest,
Watching the TV series "Psychological Crime" always gives people a chilling feeling on the back.
It seems like someone is watching the show with you behind your back.
But this chilly feeling is a bit heady.
Wan Youcai knows very well that the reason why the TV series was removed from the shelves is because the scale is too large.
Whether it's the depiction of people's dark psychology or the depiction of bloody scenes in the plot, it makes people both scared and excited.
so,
Wan Youcai's expectations for this movie will definitely not be like the TV series.
At the very least, it must be guaranteed to pass the review.
Chen Ming narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he had thought of something. He turned to look at Wan Youcai and asked thoughtfully: "Director Wan, what I told you about the box office share before..."
A long time ago, when Chen Ming was negotiating the script with Wan Youcai, he proposed to take 30% of the total box office revenue.
Although Wan Youcai agreed at that time, he seemed reluctant.
now,
Chen Ming wanted to see Wan Youcai's attitude again.
