Generally speaking, the filming of a commercial film is mainly divided into three parts.
The first is the preparation before shooting, including the conception of the story, setting of the outline, determination of the director, budget, location, and actors.
The second is the work during filming, which is carried out in the form of collection operations under the direction of the director, and the progress of filming and expenditure must be supervised.
The third is the work after shooting, such as editing, dubbing, special effects, subtitles, trailers, press conferences, publicity, etc.
Cheng Hailu's film team has already written the storyboard script, but he is still not satisfied. He feels that the film will be a bit bland. He wonders what is missing.
The reason he thought so was that after talking with Zhang Songwen last time, he found that some character motivations and character creation could be understood in a more reasonable way, so he always thought about Mr. Qiu’s film ideas from a deeper perspective.
However, there is no way to figure it all out for now, so I should just keep shooting and see how to make a breakthrough. I can't keep dragging it on like this.
So he asked the assistant director to call Zhang Songwen back and prepare to start filming.
Zhang Songwen was still reluctant when he received the call. After all, he knew that Gou Ru had to go back to help with the delivery business, and the team formed by the two of them would be disbanded.
Zhang Songwen did learn a lot in this process, especially Gou Ru Ru's outstanding performance in delivering food and his help, which made Zhang Songwen not only understand the hardships of dealing with a surge in delivery orders, but also understand why it is easy for other deliverymen to develop friendships at work.
Just imagine that when you are a delivery man, if you deliver two orders within 10 minutes, you definitely won’t be able to deliver all the orders.
But someone said, I will take the far order, you don’t have to worry, how would you feel?
Touching, enthusiastic, warm.
The two were reluctant to leave, but they were still determined to embark on the path they had chosen and to realize their potential in their new jobs.
...
When Cheng Hailu saw Zhang Songwen, he seemed to feel something different.
Now the basic storyboards and location shooting have all been planned, but the key core still seems a bit hesitant.
Now he also wants to hear Zhang Songwen's opinion on how the protagonist should be set up, how his personality and superpowers can fit in with the story outline, and at the same time make the character more outstanding.
Jiang Wenlong saw Cheng Hailu and Zhang Songwen together and felt very jealous. He wondered why the protagonist didn't choose him but this 18th-tier Zhang Songwen instead.
Jiang Wenlong told this story to some friends when they were drinking that day. Those friends happened to know Jia Fenghuo, and after informing Jia Fenghuo of the news, Jia Fenghuo came to him and promised Jiang Wenlong benefits, and would recommend many performance opportunities in the future, in order to pull Jiang Wenlong on his side.
In other words, Jiang Wenlong is now a traitor, always thinking about how to tell Jia Fenghuo the intelligence filmed here.
It was just that Zhang Songwen and Cheng Hailu went into the office to chat, and there was no reason for him to sneak in. After all, he was just a supporting role, a minor character waiting to be assigned lines.
...
Zhang Songwen looked at the storyboard script carefully, imagining the real shooting scene in his mind, and how he should perform to meet the standards.
"Song Wen, do you think this plot is a bit old-fashioned and not fresh? It always feels like something is missing," Cheng Hailu said seriously.
"Director Cheng, I think there is basically no problem with the setting of this plot. The key lies in the psychological changes of the protagonist. Why didn't he think of using his superpowers for bad purposes? The character's personality may need the foreshadowing of previous events, and the influence or hint of the environment on the protagonist."
"I experienced the feeling of delivering food. If the situation is very busy, the deliveryman's time is almost spent on delivering food, and there is very little time for entertainment. In other words, in addition to the education he received since childhood, the customers and the staff at the site will also have an impact on his personality and behavior."
“For example, we can add a food delivery scene of another deliveryman. Even if the customer complains and the money is deducted, he just grumbles a few words and then continues to smile at other customers. This scene can be placed when the protagonist is being trained as a novice.”
This scene setting was also inspired by when Gou Ruru took him to deliver takeout. There were some orders that were delivered late, and according to the rules they set themselves, they would be fined, but Gou Ruru would complain a few words in the video, and then face what happened next with a smile.
Cheng Hailu agreed with Zhang Songwen's idea and motioned for him to continue.
“I think Mr. Qiu’s idea for this movie is to gain power by helping others, and this power can make an ordinary person become a superman.”
"In real life, it is not easy for many people to work hard for their own lives, but some people are willing to spend more time helping others. They devote their time and energy, so the more people they help, the stronger their ability to help becomes. This is a superpower."
“I think the value of this story can be sublimated from the final setting, that is, in the end, he is not the only delivery hero, but many deliverymen also become delivery heroes under his influence.”
"Also, I saw in the script that it's about fighting some bad guys and then using super powers to defeat them. Although I think this aspect is also worth spending money on special effects, this movie is set without monsters, and the special effects fighting scenes that ordinary people can create are always limited. The delivery hero should be able to defeat the enemy with one move."
“So I think the special effects can be focused on saving people, how to do your best to save people, maybe making it cool or gorgeous, which is more in line with the main storyline.”
