Hualiu Director

Chapter 25 I'm About to Make a Feature Film

Lin Hong ended the first program recording of "Ask the Director for Advice" under the suspicious eyes of the crowd. Starting from tomorrow, he will complete a film and television work in the next ten days, and the program will continue recording on the 11th day.

But from now on, the program team has equipped Lin Hong with an exclusive cameraman and follow-up PD. As long as it is not a private occasion requested by Lin Hong, they will follow and shoot.

Because he hasn't decided what to shoot, Lin Hong didn't call the brothers of 409. If someone calls over and finally returns to the capital to shoot, it will be a waste of precious funds, because the work of the crew will start from now on. Personnel travel expenses are also included in the 100 million production funds.

The hotel booked by the program group can still stay for one night, but the other directors and actors have hurriedly left to prepare for the competition. Only Lin Hong has not checked out, and he is bored in the hotel room thinking hard.

Lin Hong was in a daze at the desk for a while, lay in a daze on the bed for a while, and turned on the computer to watch a movie. In short, it did not seem to be in a normal creative state.However, neither the cameraman nor the PD reminded Lin Hong of anything. Unless Lin Hong took the initiative to communicate with them, they would not remind Lin Hong that time was precious.

After thinking for a long time, he couldn't figure it out. He was so immersed in thinking that he even forgot to eat dinner. It was dark outside at this time.

Lin Hong didn't eat, and the photographer and PD in the corner of the hotel couldn't go out to eat, so he could only starve himself.Although the two didn't talk, they both saw the same message in each other's eyes: it's really bad luck to be assigned to this kid.

Lin Hong didn't know at the moment that he was being rejected by others again. He was a little annoyed now, and he knew that he couldn't delay any longer. If he couldn't decide on a suitable feature film script tonight, he could only make a short film, because he also knew that there would be no delay. rise.

There are a lot of short film scripts in my mind, whether it is the "Wonderful Stories of the World" series, or the "American Horror Story" series, or even the previous TVB's "Strange Cases" all have suitable story themes that are not illegal.Or simply film "Dumplings" where Li Tianwang won the best actor for the first time. It's scary enough, there are reversals, and the cost is not too high.

However, Lin Hong was still unwilling. His obsession with feature films made him want to make a final struggle. Isn't there still one night left? What if he finds the right one?Since you can't think of it yourself, talk to other people, maybe you can get new inspiration.

Picking up the phone, Lin Hong called his mentor Zhang Jiandong first. It is only natural for disciples to seek advice from their mentor.

Zhang Jiandong knew that Lin Hong was coming to participate in the show, and he was speechless after hearing Lin Hong's troubles. Could it be that Lin Hong started to drift after some achievements? I want to make a feature film with a double limit of 100 million plus ten days, and I have to write the script overnight, so crazy!Zhang Jiandong knew that Lin Hong might have a camera there, so he didn't say anything serious, but just asked Lin Hong to work hard and defend their honor of Beijing Film with a high-quality short film.

Well, the instructor didn't give any advice, and he was almost scolded. This made Lin Hong a little disappointed, but he still didn't give up. He thought of another person, but just as soon as he got the number, he hurried to the pd in the corner .

"Director Liu, I want to make a call to Director Chen Ge to ask for some advice. It may involve the relevant procedures and rules of this program group, and he is a guest of the program on the Kiwi platform. I don't know if I can make this call. ?”

The pd heard that he was calling the great director Chen Ge. He was shocked at how Lin Hong still knew the director Chen Ge, and at the same time quickly took out his mobile phone to call the chief director Wu Bin to report the situation.

Over there, Wu Bin was having dinner with the four producers. He saw that the number was from Xiao Liu. Could it be that there was something wrong with Lin Hong?

"Director Wu, there is a new situation on Lin Hong's side. He wants to ask Director Chen Ge for some advice. It may involve our program procedures and rules. Can I make this call?"

Chen Ge?Why did this Lin Hong get in touch with Chen Ge again? What else do they have to do with each other?However, if the two programs can form a linkage, the publicity effect seems to be good. This is only the first stage, and the rules and procedures that Lin Hong can know are very limited, and Lin Hong doesn’t know where he is, a joke, himself If people can be placed there, it is impossible to guarantee that there will be no kiwi people here.

"It's okay, let him make this call, but you have to film the whole conversation, if there is no problem, you will definitely cut it into the feature film."

Xiao Liu in the hotel was very happy when he heard this. The longer the material was cut into the feature film, the higher the bonus he and the photographer would get. Now he wished Lin Hong could make half an hour on the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Wu Bin returned to the wine table and asked Huang Li curiously: "What is the background of Lin Hong? Just now he called and said he was going to call Chen Ge. I guess it was about making a feature film in ten days." .”

Chen Ge?This name made the hearts of the other three producers tense, thinking that it's no wonder Huang Li would care so much about Lin Hong.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Huang Li felt complacent, thinking that the person I brought could be a simple one?

"Lin Hong's own family background is very ordinary. His father is a small supporting role in Renyi, but he is very talented. His graduation work "Three Monks" is definitely world-class. I am afraid that many film festivals in the coming year will be the winners. Can hear the name of this work.

How Lin Hong and Chen Ge got to know each other I don't know the specifics, but I heard that Lin Hong was appreciated by Chen Ge when he was working in Hengdian, and then the two got to know each other.Later, at the on-campus screening of Lin Hong's graduation work, Chen Ge attended with his wife and son.In addition to Chen Ge's family, half of Renyi's team also went to Lin Hong's platform, and the scene was not inferior to ordinary movie premieres.

It's a pity that I only invested 10 yuan at the beginning. If I add another [-] yuan, I might be able to grab the title of producer.Oh, speaking of which, let me mention that Kong Xiao, the producer of "Three Monks", is my apprentice. If you meet in the circle in the future, please take care of me. It's not easy for young people. "

Everyone laughed at Huang Li's behavior of carrying private goods in advertisements for his apprentices, and at the same time looked at Lin Hong more highly. The premiere of his graduation work could allow Chen Ge and half-person art to attend, which is rare in the entertainment industry Alright.

"Mr. Huang, you should have the finished film of "Three Monks", can you let me see which film is said to be so amazing?"

Cheng Xi has a soft spot for young directors, and she really wants to see if Huang Li is bragging.

"Yes, yes, yes, I also want to see how far the young directors have grown."

At this moment, everyone is not interested in eating anymore, but their enthusiasm for "Three Monks" is high.Fortunately, Huang Li was well prepared. He asked his assistant to fetch the hard drive and laptop, and then put them in the box for a few people to appreciate.

Lin Hong got permission from the chief director of the show, and he couldn't wait to call Chen Ge.Chen Ge happened to be having dinner with the main creators of their show at this time, and what's more, he was complimenting Lin Hong, saying that it was a great regret to miss Lin Hong.

"Yo, look at Cao Cao, Cao Cao called."

Everyone at the same table laughed, and Chen Ge answered the phone directly without leaving the table with high qualifications.

"Lin Hong, aren't you recording a program today? Why, the recording is not happy. Why don't you come to our place? I'll introduce Su Qi to you."

It was rare for everyone at the wine table to see Chen Ge speak so playfully, and they were immediately amused and laughed.When Lin Hong on the other end of the phone heard that there were so many people, he quickly organized the language in his mind.

"Hello Director Chen, hello teachers. I had a lot of fun recording the show today, but I have some problems and would like to ask director Chen Ge for advice. By the way, if I come to ask for advice so abruptly, will it affect you? If If it's inconvenient, Director Chen, just tell me in private."

The others burst out laughing when they heard Lin Hong's words. This young man is shameless and has a bright future.

"It's nothing inconvenient. Let me hear what problems you have encountered."

Lin Hong then explained the problems he encountered to Chen Ge in detail, and said that the short film script has already been drafted, and now he wants to write a suitable feature film script overnight, but there is a shortage of horror films. inspiration.

Everyone at the wine table felt that this young man was a bit arrogant after hearing what Lin Hong said. There are many directors who make feature films with 100 million yuan, and there may be workaholics who make a feature film for ten days, but the combination of the two must ensure the quality , the difficulty will multiply geometrically, why should he be a rookie director who has not graduated.

In fact, their new program is the same as "Ask the Director for Advice". The program group can provide the director with about 100 million yuan, and the positioning is also a short film. I never thought about making a feature film.

"Lin Hong, I understand what you mean. You want to write a script that meets the requirements overnight, but you don't have any inspiration yet, right?"

"That's right, that's what worries me. If even Director Chen can't help me, I'll probably have to continue making short films."

Lin Hong's tone was full of regret. If he had more money and longer time, he would have too many choices.

"Lin Hong, I believe in your creative ability, but time is a big problem. I don't have a suitable script to introduce to you, and the director and screenwriter I know have never heard of such a script. But regarding your question, I think you were Keywords are restricted."

Key words?Lin Hong was clicked by Chen Ge. He seemed to understand a little bit, but he didn't fully understand.

"The keyword is not to limit your creative scope, but to have this component in your work. Just like your keyword 'horror', if you make a horror film, of course you will be deducted, but if you shoot It is not illegal to have horror elements in the works, as long as it is related to horror and not too alienated, it is not against the rules."

Lin Hong's mind was blown, this time was really enlightening, he was framed to death by himself, why the keyword "horror" must be a horror movie, a certain section of horror, or let the audience know that there is a horror element, can't it?Of course it does.

Chen Ge's words seemed to help Lin Hong open a door, and many good scripts that were not in the film library flooded into Lin Hong's mind.

"Director Chen, I understand. Thank you very much this time. If it weren't for you, I would have to compromise and make a short film. Now I think I know what script to write."

Others heard Lin Hong's excited voice on the other end of the phone. Did this kid just decide to make a feature film?And it seems that there is already a script direction?

Chen Ge was also shocked by Lin Hong's words. He just mentioned Lin Hong, but he didn't expect to help him break the last shackles of making feature films.

"You really decided to make a feature film?"

"Yes, it is necessary to make a feature film. As long as the budget is careful, I think 100 million should be enough."

Seeing that Lin Hong was so determined, Chen Ge couldn't persuade him any more. After all, Lin Hong now belongs to a competitor's program group, and he still seemed frank in giving his suggestions in front of everyone. If he tried to persuade him again, it would be over.

However, apart from creating, Chen Ge also wanted to share with Lin Hong some of his experience as a director. This is the inheritance of the younger generation, and it is not a violation of the rules.

"Lin Hong, let me give you another suggestion. Find a trustworthy and capable stage manager. This is no better than shooting "Three Monks" in Hengdian. There will be many emergencies in the temporarily formed crew. A qualified stage manager will help you. Save a lot of time and energy, and have a clearer plan for funds.”

In his previous life, Lin Hong also knew how much a good stage manager would change the crew, but in this life, he has not yet come into contact with professionals who do stage operations, so he has been shelving it. Now, after Chen Ge reminded him, he is indeed looking for It's a chore.

"Okay, thank you Director Chen. I will visit you when I return to the capital. Now I am going to start writing the script. I have already thought of the story. By the way, I have no actors willing to cooperate with me in the first stage. I will write it soon." Chen Yu is needed in the script, Director Chen, you promised me!"

Chen Ge chuckled and did not deny it. Of course, if the script is not good, he will definitely not agree.

"Send your script to me after you finish writing it. As long as there is no problem with the script, you can contact Chen Yu yourself."

"Good Director Chen, thank you very much for today."

After Lin Hong finished speaking, he was about to hang up the phone, but he didn't want Su Qi to move the chair to Chen Ge's side.

"Wait a minute, Lin Hong. Director Chen Ge just said that if you come to our show, he will introduce me to you. It's a pity that you can't come, but it doesn't matter. I can take the initiative to introduce you. My name is Su Qi, and I'm an actress who can act. actress, if there is a suitable role in the future, you can consider me!"

Lin Hong on the other end of the phone was going crazy with joy when he heard this, my God, the goddess asked me for a role, he quickly said seriously.

"Sister Su Qi, you are my idol. I dream of cooperating with you in filming. When I have a suitable role, I will definitely come to you. Really, this is not a polite word. My video recorder is all recorded. It can be used as proof."

Although Su Qi interrupted abruptly, she still believed in Chen Ge's vision. If he could hand over his son to Lin Hong, he must be really talented. Which actor can refuse an invitation from a talented director? It's a good relationship.

One of the other two mentors here is a leader in the new generation of directors, and the other is a great writer and screenwriter, so they didn't take the initiative to say hello to Lin Hong.

And Su Qi knew that the opposite party was recording, and she had already given the other party free publicity by speaking, so enough was enough.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Hong seemed like a traveler in the desert who had been sleepy for a long time and finally found his way. That feeling was really...so hungry.

After apologizing to the photographer and pd, Lin Hong led them to a food stall outside to have a meal of authentic seafood, which was regarded as a reward for them.

There were three meals in three places, and they had different tastes. Among all the people, only Lin Hong ate the most delicious food. Everyone else was thinking, what exactly is Lin Hong going to shoot?
