Chapter 271 Ready to Shoot

Li Mu didn't tell most of the people around him about the filming. The day before Ning Hao had already sent out the equipment and the staff was about to leave Yanjing by plane, Li Mu only told Su Yingxue about the filming. --

Su Yingxue now has a certain immunity to Li Mu's ability to mess with things. She was just a little surprised, and soon returned to normal. I heard that the important scene of Li Mu's return to filming this time was the alma mater of the two when they were in high school. She has always been calm. Su Yingxue was a little excited, and wished she could go back to witness Li Mu as a director and filming at his alma mater.

Zhao Kang also doesn't want to miss this kind of good show, but Yanjing still has a lot of things waiting for him to do, so this time I can only wish Li Mu a smooth shooting.

Li Mu told the brothers in bed 606 that he was going to go home for a while. When everyone asked, he just said that there were some things at home waiting for him to do, but he didn't say anything more specific.

Before leaving, Li Mu made another phone call with Zhao Ziqiu and Chen Wan, and then he felt relieved, and got on the plane to Jinling with more than a dozen crew members.

Ning Hao made a systematic coordination of the entire filming rhythm. At the moment, most of the people who went to Jinling together were all the behind-the-scenes staff. After everyone arrived in Haizhou, they had to deal with accommodation, catering, storage, venues, sets, and props. After all the preparations are done, Du Wei, Chen Kun and a few other actors will rush over from Yanjing, and if they win Haizhou, they can start filming directly.

on the plane. Ning Hao sat with Li Mu and waited for the plane to fly smoothly. He took out a cowhide-covered notebook from his bag, and roughly sorted out the shooting process with Li Mu. The process included all the details behind the scenes, including the sequence and coordination of each scene.

According to Li Mu's request, Ning Hao's role at the top of the shooting sequence was Du Wei's role. Ning Hao said that if Du Wei's acting skills speak for themselves. Then the scene of this role can be completed within three days at the earliest. Li Mu is somewhat uncertain. How long Du Wei's scene in Haizhou can be filmed depends on her talent in acting.

After Ning Hao gave Li Mu the entire process, he said to Li Mu, "Actually, I think that since we are going to invest 2 million to make this movie, we might as well make the script a little bit fuller and make it 90 minutes long, like that. If the 40-minute micro-movie version becomes popular in the TV media, we can take the 90-minute version to the theaters, and then make a little gimmick, which is another income.”

Li Mu asked him, "I didn't see it. You also like to do things like watering and cultivating mink?"

Ning Hao said solemnly, "If I were a director, I would definitely not do this."

Li Mu asked him, "Why did you let me do it instead of doing it?"

Ning Hao said with a smile, "You are here to play tickets,

Don't worry so much, I can't, I'm probably not good at anything other than dealing with movies in my life, so I have to pay attention to my future reputation. You are different, you are a businessman, and you want to maximize your profits. "

Li Mu looked at him with contempt, and said, "If I really pursued interests, I wouldn't vote for two million to make this thing. My filmmaking is not a matter of vote-taking. Even in a world-class film production company, the "Old Boy" micro-film is just a pathfinder for me. As a layman, I do not understand the planning and planning of the film, the background of the film, and the promotion of the film. Xuanfa, I don’t even know where to look for the relationship between the theaters. If I started making a big movie, I would probably die very badly. I’m not afraid of losing money, but I’m afraid that if I throw in the money, it won’t make any waves. "Old Boy" began to practice, avoiding the theater, and directly making a fuss on the TV media and the Internet."

Ning Hao watched Li Mu speechless for a long time, but now he really realized that although Li Mu is a layman in the film industry, although his focus is on the Internet, he is serious about the film, and the domestic film market is not mature enough. , Most of the movies are not able to make money when they are released in theaters, and the field of theaters is too deep, and people who have no experience can't play at all, but Li Mu has taken a different approach, first bypassing the theaters, and then contacting this industry. , this choice is correct.

Li Mu said to Ning Hao seriously, "If we can cooperate more happily this time, I will sign you to Makino Imaging, and you will receive your salary when you sign the contract. Starting from next year, you will be cast in at least one drama every year."

Ning Hao swallowed and asked Li Mu, "Aren't you kidding me?"

Li Mu smiled and said: "Of course not, I didn't tell you last time, come to me if you have a good book, and I will vote for you."

Ning Hao, who always seemed to be a little condescending, was suddenly moved and asked Li Mu seriously, "Why do you trust me so much?"

Li Mu can't say that I'm a big fan of "Crazy Stone", he can only say: "I believe in my vision."

Ning Hao immediately said: "Okay, as long as you like me, I will definitely sign!"

Li Mu nodded: "It's fine with your words. We'll film "Old Boy" first, and we'll have the opportunity to cooperate in the future."

If it is considered a high-box-office director, Ning Hao really can't make a very high-ranking position in the later stage. The box office of Crazy Stone is tens of millions, the box office of Crazy Racing has just exceeded 100 million, and the box office of No Man's Land is more than 200 million. The highest one It's just the way of the heart, and it's only 1.1 billion. It's very close to the box office of Pancake Man shot by Dapeng, a man with hanging silk. This report card is placed in 2015 and 2016. "A few streets ahead of him.

But what Li Mu really liked was the dark humor of Ning Hao and the uniqueness of his narrative style.

Li Mu firmly believes that he is an extraordinary comedy master, but he lacks a script that really fits the market in the later stage. If he is asked to film "Thailand", although Li Mu can't guarantee how much the box office will be improved, he can at least guarantee that the production level will be improved. A level higher than Xu Zheng, if he is allowed to shoot the entire series of "囧囧", I believe he can have a more in-depth interpretation of this series of comedy films.

Telling stories is the most basic quality of a good director. Li Mu and Ning Hao have this ability.

...

The plane landed in Jinling, and the long-coordinated bus took everyone to Haizhou. This time, the crew still chose the Haizhou Hotel. It was a bit more expensive, but the conditions were good and the location was quite convenient. From here to Haizhou No. 1 Middle School, to the train station, to the commercial street, and to your own home, all within a two-kilometer range, which is perfect.

When everyone arrived at the Haizhou Hotel, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening. The car that transported the equipment had already arrived this afternoon and stopped in the courtyard of the Haizhou Hotel.

Li Mu did not go home, but directly checked into the Haizhou Hotel. He and Ning Hao lived in the same room as standard rooms. The next morning, he had to go to Haizhou No. 1 Middle School with the equipment and start working Shooting ready.

After a night of rest, at seven o'clock the next morning, everyone had already had breakfast and set off from the Haizhou Hotel to Haizhou No. 1 Middle School. The bus last night was used for the filming in Haizhou for the past few days. In the car, Li Mu also greeted Song Liang in advance, and borrowed two gl8s to come to emergency. Song Liang sent someone to drive to the Haizhou Hotel early in the morning, and the two gl8s followed the bus to Haizhou No. 1 Middle School.

Haizhou No. 1 Middle School was responsible for Li Mu's head teacher, Pang Da Hai, who was in charge of filming. Li Mu met with Pang Da Hai when he arrived at the school. First, he asked Da Da Hai to arrange the staff to take a break in the office of the political and educational building, and he brought Ning Hao and photography. , together with the set staff, began to inspect the classrooms suitable for shooting.

Pangpanhai said: "The school theoretically supports your filming work unconditionally, but what I mean is that you should try not to choose the graduating class as your main filming venue. You can choose as you like in the first and second grades of high school, first choose the classroom and then choose. student."

Li Mu said, "Teacher Pang, don't worry, we only choose from the freshman department."

Ning Hao nodded and said, "We don't have any special requirements for choosing a classroom, just the third floor and Xiangyang."

Xiangyang is to have enough light when shooting. As for the requirement on the third floor, it is because the script sets that Zhang Kexuan's classroom is on the third floor. Du Wei bumped into him downstairs.

After listening to these two requests, Dapanhai immediately smiled and said: "This is easy to handle. Classes 4 to 10 of Senior One are located on the third floor and south. Let's go and have a look. If there are suitable ones, you can directly It's settled."

The teaching building of Haizhou No. 1 Middle School is in the shape of a letter L. The upper and lower openings are connected together. There are four floors in total. Li Mu and everyone walked around the south side of the third floor. The photographer and the set discussed it. I got the cleanest high school grade one and six.

After setting up the classroom, everyone selected scenes together in corridors, bicycle sheds, squares, playgrounds and other places. After the scene selection, Li Mu asked Mr. Pang to negotiate with the school to bring an equipment room for the sports training team to store the shooting equipment. .

After looking around, Ning Hao said to Li Mu, "Most of the scenes in the school have basically been set, and now there is still one more scene to choose from for the band's performance. Where do you think this is suitable?"

Li Mu said: "Let's set it on the playground. To build a professional stage on the playground, we should not save too much in terms of cost, but we must produce the effect. The visual effect must be up to standard, and the auditory effect cannot be ignored. "

Ning Hao nodded: "This is no problem, I'll coordinate. The other important thing is the train station and the camera on the train. When will you coordinate, let's go and see."

Li Mu said, "I'll make a phone call, and I should be able to visit the venue soon."

Li Mu didn't have any acquaintances at the train station, but with Song Liang, who was a local scoundrel, he could just find someone to say hello, and all the links at the train station would be connected. (To be continued.)
