Chapter 354: Filming completed, schedule selection
The crew’s problems need to be solved one by one.
As a new director, Yu Xiaoshu also knows that he may encounter various difficulties.
But how to say it? ?
Yu Xiaoshu has a strong determination, that is, he will never admit defeat, but he will not drag down the entire crew because of himself.
Just as Yu Xiaoshu discovered at the beginning that he was not able to play the role of Hu Wan, he did not insist on doing so. On the contrary, Yu Xiaoshu decisively replaced the role with another person.
As for directing, Yu Xiaoshu knew more, but when he found that he was not sure about the project at the end, he asked Li Qing to shoot it.
As for Yu Xiaoshu, he was filming some supporting role scenes.
While Yu Xiaoshu was filming his scenes, Pang Ning also went back to confront the company.
Yu Yang was a little surprised: "Pang Ning, I have always been doing good for you. You should know that you signed with the company when you were a newcomer. At that time, no one led you except me."
Pang Ning nodded gently: "I know, but later you thought I was not good enough and gave up on me, didn't you? I almost always performed in dramas afterwards. You won't forget this, right?"
Yu Yang: "Me??"
Pang Ning shook his head and said, "Okay, Brother Yu, let's just part ways amicably. Don't worry, I will pay every penny of the penalty to the company. There's no need for us to go to court."
Yu Yang was still a little confused: "Pang Ning, can I ask why? The company may not have considered you enough before, but the company hasn't been really harsh on you either."
"Yes, that's why I wanted to sign a contract with the company in the beginning. But Brother Yu, I still can't stand this kind of values. I believe that a favor must be repaid."
Pang Ning nodded gently and said, "That's why I want to terminate the contract with the company."
"Do you want to sign a contract with Baiqian Media?"
Yu Yang said with a sneer.
Pang Ning did not deny it: "Yes, I want to sign a contract with Baiqian Media."
Yu Yang sneered even more: "It is true. If you want to sign a contract with Baiqian Media, just sign it. What's the point of saying so many high-sounding words?"
All right.
Pang Ning felt that there was no need to talk about anything anymore.
Since Yu Yang has determined that he is no longer able to survive, it would be futile to say anything further.
That's it.
Pang Ning asked: "So is the company going to sign a contract with me, or is it going to file a lawsuit?"
Although Yu Yang was somewhat dissatisfied, what could he say?
Are you really going to sue Baiqian Media?
Let’s just forget it.
If they really go to court, I'm afraid they won't end up well.
In this case, even if it is difficult to part ways amicably, we will have to do so.
Just like that, Pang Ning and Yu Yang terminated their contract.
At the same time, Pang Ning also talked about this matter online.
"First of all, please stop scolding the company. I have just terminated my contract with the company. Of course, the reason for the termination is not because of you, but because I feel that I am not a good match for the company. Secondly, please stop scolding Baiqian Media. I want to say that I am very happy to cooperate with Baiqian Media, and I am very grateful to Teacher Yu for giving me such an opportunity."
"Secondly, since we are talking about Let the Bullets Fly, let me say a few more words. I think this movie will definitely be a success, so I am willing to play a role in this movie, and I think there is no difference between big and small roles."
"Finally, I hope that fans and I will not interfere with each other. If liking me can bring you motivation, then I am honored. But if liking me will cause you trouble, then I hope we can part ways in peace."
…
Just like that, Pang Ning made a speech.
This remark once again angered Pang Ning's fans.
"Sure enough, once a person becomes famous, he will become arrogant. This is not what Pang Ning said before he became famous."
"Exactly. I feel a little speechless. I never thought that Pang Ning would be such a person."
"I like Pang Ning for nothing. From now on, I have decided that I will never like Pang Ning again."
"What the hell, does Pang Ning think he can do whatever he wants just by relying on the character of Jiang Yang?"
…
Everyone in the fan group was quite angry.
At the same time, some rational fans were speechless.
"Do you really think that Pang Ning's success today is because of you? When Pang Ning was silently performing in the play, he didn't expect you to help him. Pang Ning has always relied on his own efforts."
"Yes, it was Pang Ning who was chosen by Baiqian Media to star in the drama "The Silent Truth". I remember that Pang Ning was criticized as a resourceful person at the time."
"Anyway, Pang Ning became famous because of The Silent Truth, but at the same time, this drama was also written by Yu Xiaoshu. Do you think it's wrong for Pang Ning to be grateful?"
"Yes, I don't think it's wrong for Pang Ning to be grateful."
…
All of a sudden, many people started discussing it.
Everyone always feels that there is nothing wrong with Pang Ning really playing the role in Yu Xiaoshu's movie. People should always know how to be grateful.
Besides, Pang Ning’s popularity has nothing to do with his fans.
In short.
That seems to be the case.
Many people think that Pang Ning is too proud, but others think that Pang Ning is not too proud. On the contrary, he really knows how to be grateful.
Such online opinions are exactly what Yu Xiaoshu wants.
Because the more you stir the water, the less people will pay attention to "Let the Bullets Fly".
Ten days later, Huang Silang's scenes were all finished.
Qi Pengfei said reluctantly: "Lao Ning, I wonder if we will have the chance to act like this in the future?"
"Haha, there will be a chance. Then we can ask Director Yu to write another good script."
Ning Fan turned to Yu Xiaoshu and said with a smile: "Director Yu, please think of us next time when you have a good script."
Yu Xiaoshu nodded gently: "Of course, but..."
At this point, Yu Xiaoshu paused for a moment, then said, "But don't make the pay so high then, give me a 50% discount."
“Hahaha, no problem.”
Ning Fan burst into laughter.
Guo Zeqiang then said to Ning Fan: "This time the Best Actor award is mine."
"The movie hasn't even been released yet, and you're already thinking about winning the Best Actor award."
Ning Fan was somewhat speechless: "But think about it, you haven't had a chance to be the best actor after all, I hope you can."
kindness.
Guo Zeqiang was somewhat hurt by Ning Fan's nonchalant attitude.
He actually hoped that Ning Fan could say more.
But it doesn't matter.
Guo Zeqiang still believes in his own vision.
The finale did not attract too many people.
Up to now, the details of Ning Fan and Guo Zeqiang are still confidential.
Therefore, Yu Xiaoshu wanted Ning Fan to finish filming first, and then let Guo Zeqiang finish filming.
Then, we start filming other people's scenes.
For example, the scene on the train.
While eating hotpot and singing songs, they were suddenly robbed by bandits.
Yu Xiaoshu asked Song Qing and Zhang Yi to come over.
Song Qing plays the officer.
Then Zhang Yi plays the role of the legal advisor.
Director, director, what is a director?
One is directing, the other is acting.
Putting aside other things, look at the directors on earth, which one has poor acting skills?
Some directors' acting skills are even several times better than some so-called young actors.
So the filming of this scene was completed.
Of course, Yu Xiaoshu started promoting it after the filming was completed.
Ning Fan and Guo Zeqiang kept the secret very well, but there was no need for others to keep it secret. Since Zhong Xiu had already thrown it out, it was time for Song Qing and Zhang Yi to throw it out too.
"Fuck, isn't this nonsense?"
"I now feel more and more that this is nonsense. How come I never thought that Yu Xiaoshu would play like this?"
"Song Qing and Zhang Yi are both directors of Baiqian Media. Especially Zhang Yi, isn't he directing a TV series? Why did he go to the crew?"
"It's like this now, do you think this is still considered as inflated?"
"I think so. If you say this is not considered expansion, then what is considered expansion?"
"I really didn't expect this, how the hell is this going to work?"
"Let the Bullets Fly is such a terrible movie. It's impossible for it not to be terrible."
…
Yu Xiaoshu still didn't care about the online discussions.
Another 20 days later, "Let the Bullets Fly" was officially completed.
It’s finished.
After 65 days, the film, Yu Xiaoshu's debut work, was officially completed.
Yu Xiaoshu really felt a little emotional.
You have to know that before this, he had always been a screenwriter, and on Earth, Yu Xiaoshu didn't have any so-called good opportunities, so he almost never worked as a director.
Being a director and imagining being a director are always two different things.
Yu Xiaoshu has always thought it was quite easy.
But when he really became a director, Yu Xiaoshu realized that it was too damn difficult.
It’s extremely difficult.
It's really difficult.
Quite difficult.
It's so difficult.
Acting is difficult, directing is even more difficult.
Fortunately, Yu Xiaoshu got through everything.
After the movie "Let the Bullets Fly" was released, Yu Xiaoshu planned to recharge himself. He still wanted to direct and act in his own movies in the future. At the beginning, he overestimated his acting skills.
In that case, he will learn some acting skills later.
You don’t need to learn from others, just follow Qi Pengfei.
On the day the filming was completed, Yu Xiaoshu asked the publicity department to promote it online.
"Ah, it's been more than two months, and Yu Xiaoshu's movie has actually been completed."
"What time slot is he planning to grab?"
"It's either the National Day or the Lunar New Year period, those are the only two periods."
"I think it's better for Yu Xiaoshu not to choose these two schedules. There are two heavy-duty blockbusters during the National Day this year, and there are also two during the Lunar New Year. What can Yu Xiaoshu use to compete? Just relying on "Let the Bullets Fly"? "
…
Obviously, whether it is the National Day or the Lunar New Year period, it is basically a graveyard for bad movies. Many times, it is crowded with blockbusters, and often blockbusters compete with each other.
Many small films may not even have a chance here and will be eaten up directly.
In this case, some people suggest that "Let the Bullets Fly" can directly find a smaller schedule, such as November, before New Year's Day, or even December, as this time is often the low point of the schedule.
Some small films can often steal some box office revenue here.
This has happened on Earth, too.
I forgot which movie it was, but it chose to be released before the Lunar New Year holiday, and ended up making hundreds of millions at the box office.
As for the Earth, many of them chose the wrong time slot, and ended up suffering a miserable failure.
For example, the one that Yu Xiaoshu at least thinks is worth watching is "Looking for a Man".
Actually, this movie is not very pleasing to the eye, because on the one hand it is quite literary, and on the other hand it is unacceptable to some people.
The name is quite literary, but it actually tells the story of a woman who is pregnant and wants to find a taker. If you put it that way, you will definitely be scolded many times on the Internet.
Yu Xiaoshu first watched this movie because of teacher Li Baotian. This was a movie he filmed after not seeing him for a long time, and it was obvious that he was in good shape.
But this drama is just a bit of a pity.
The script is not pleasant, on the contrary, it is a bit frustrating.
But if this movie were released in another time slot, maybe the box office wouldn't be so bad.
The choice of schedule is very important.
For example, the movie "Raging Fire" released during the Lunar New Year period would definitely have a higher box office if it was released at another time.
Let’s not talk about the Earth because it’s a bit far away now. Let’s talk about Yuanxing.
For Baiqian Media, no one still takes "Let the Bullets Fly" seriously, except Liu Qianqian.
During the filming, Liu Qianqian went to the crew.
Not only did she join the crew, she also played a minor role.
Zhang Mazi pretended to be the county magistrate and entered the city, and then a group of people welcomed the county magistrate with drums and gongs.
Liu Qianqian played a character in it.
If you don't look carefully, you can't see it after applying makeup.
This is just for fun.
Let’s not talk about it for now.
What I want to say is that Liu Qianqian stayed in the crew for almost 10 days, and she also read the script.
She believed in Yu Xiaoshu.
So when Yu Xiaoshu was doing post-production, Liu Qianqian made the final decision.
Just two schedules.
Either National Day or New Year’s Day.
Wang Bao had a headache: "Boss Liu, there are heavyweight films in these two periods. Let's not talk about the Lunar New Year, let's talk about the National Day. There are two very impressive films this National Day. One is directed by a new director, and the other is directed by a veteran director. Both of them are on the director rankings this year, one is on the veteran list, and the other is on the new list..."
"Boss Wang, why do you always encourage others to be more ambitious? What's wrong with them being on the list?"
Liu Qianqian said nonchalantly: "They are on the list, but our teacher Yu is also on the list."
"No, that's not what I meant. What I meant was..."
Wang Bao wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Liu Qianqian: "There's no need to say more. Let's discuss now which of these two schedules is better. We can talk about the rest later."
Wang Bao felt a little bitter.
There was also some silence in the conference room.
