Chapter 908 Handheld Camera
Early the next morning, An Ran and Jerry knocked on the door of Hymers Jr.'s office.
When he saw An Ran coming in, little Hymers looked impatient and put all the documents he was reading on the table.
"Didn't I give you all the money? Why are you here?"
An Ran was not aggressive today and said calmly: "I need a camera and a film crew."
Little Hymers leaned back on the chair, shrugged and said, "Sorry, Mr. An Ran, the cameras seem to be in use. If you really want to use them, you will probably have to wait for a long time."
Jerry was about to speak when An Ran stopped him gently.
Little Hymers frowned and said: "Wait a minute... I seem to have remembered, I have another one here."
These are just personal words.
Jerry is really angry. You gave someone half a million and asked them to make a movie without giving them the equipment. You clearly planned to kill people.
Little Hymers stood up excitedly and rummaged through the cabinets in the office.
"???"
Jerry's face turned green. The camera you said was in the office? Could it be...
Sure enough, less than two minutes passed.
Little Hymers took out a 16mm portable video camera, "Although it's a bit old, it can still be used. This is a personal gift from me, so you don't need to thank me!"
Thank you so much!
Jerry's heart is about to explode. You can't imagine shooting a movie with a portable phone.
Moreover, this camera is still an old model, the logo on it can’t be seen clearly, and there is some dust.
At first glance, it seems that it has not been used for a long time.
You are bullying me.
Unexpectedly, An Ran took the camera and fiddled with it, "It still works, but it's out of battery..."
"I wish you can make a classic blockbuster!"
Little Hymes' tone was full of teasing and ridicule, and the smile on his lips made Jerry want to hit someone.
An Ran gave a thumbs up and said: "Thank you Mr. Hymers, you are the most shameless person I have ever seen."
Little Hymers' face darkened, and then he said with a victor's attitude: "Thank you Mr. An Ran for the compliment. As for the crew, you have to communicate with them in person. I don't know if they have time. I hope you can find the right person. I wish you the best."
You succeed."
Jerry frowned and said, "Mr. Hymers, you should give them a call."
"No need!" said Little Hymers: "If nothing happens, they will definitely be happy to cooperate with Teacher An Ran."
Jerry's lungs were about to burst with anger. He was so bullying.
The two came out of the office. Jerry's chest was heaving and he said, "Teacher An Ran, don't worry. If no one is willing to cooperate, I will pay for you to hire a camera crew myself."
He is now a popular director, and there are many people who fawn over him.
It’s easy to find a camera crew.
An Ran shook his head and said: "Don't be so excited, our budget is sufficient!"
With that said, An Ran raised the camera in his hand and said, "Mr. Jerry, do you think... this can make a movie?"
"..."
Do you even need to ask? There is no problem in making a movie, but the problem is will anyone watch it?
The instability of a handheld camera is enough to dazzle people, especially if it is put on a big screen, it will make your head explode.
Who watches this kind of movie?
Seeing that Jerry didn't say anything for a long time, An Ran smiled and said, "I'll use it this time."
As he spoke, he lightly patted the 16mm portable video camera in his hand.
Jerry was speechless for a while. You must be too confident.
He sighed, "Teacher An Ran, I really can't figure out what you are thinking. You don't know the flaws of DV. You know it better than me. Even if it is filmed, no one will see it."
"That's not necessarily the case."
"Okay..."
As the two of them talked, Jerry had already taken him to the office area on the third floor.
This is where the Shinkansen Company's internal film crew works.
The working environment is quite loose. Many people are watching movies on the computer. Some people are sitting there drinking coffee leisurely, and some people are lying on chairs and have fallen asleep.
There are a lot of idle people.
As soon as Jerry came in, many people saw him and stood up immediately.
"Hi, Mr. Jerry! What brings you here?"
Jerry is an independent director and is not a contracted director of Shinkansen, but he is now famous. If you can make a movie with him, your reputation in the industry will increase a lot.
Everyone greeted Jerry one after another.
I came here at this time for no other reason than to find someone to shoot a movie.
As expected, he is a popular director. After the hit "Love in the Sea", Jerry became very popular and immediately received new films, which is enviable.
Jerry said: "Let me introduce it to you first!"
As he spoke, he said: "This is Director An Ran from Xiazhou. He is now preparing to shoot a movie... Who is willing to cooperate with Teacher An Ran? Remember, Teacher An Ran is a great director, his level is no less than
Those masters, it is because of his editing and additions that "Love on Ice" has the box office today... By the way, he is also the producer of the theme song..."
Everyone was surprised and came over to say hello.
There was so much enthusiasm around An Ran.
Jerry said: "Teacher An Ran has just come to Haolaiwu. For the first movie, the investment is not very big..."
People don’t care much about it. It’s normal for the first movie to have a smaller investment.
But if I can help at this time, people will not forget them if something happens in the future.
At this moment, An Ran suddenly said: "The investment is only 500,000, who is willing to shoot with me? I only need two people!"
Five hundred thousand?
Everyone, look at me and I look at you!
Five hundred thousand is for fun, not for filming.
Everyone who was about to take action suddenly lost interest.
The investment is small, you can say 20 to 30 million, there is nothing wrong with it, everyone can accept it.
But you said half a million?
Please...brother, that was just for fun, not for making a movie.
"Oh... Mr. An Ran, if it's five hundred thousand... please forgive me for not being able to do anything."
Everyone is counting on making money. How much money can you make with half a million? Not to mention other costs. This is simply unrealistic.
"I can't help!"
"Sorry, I have work on hand, Mr. An Ran, please look at others."
"This kind of cost... Mr. Enron, I suggest you give up."
Just hearing about the cost, everyone backed down, even with Jerry's name.
The cost of shooting is 500,000 yuan. Can you watch it?
I guess no one would be willing to convert it to DVD and rent it out.
Not to mention going to theaters.
"Okay!" An Ran spread his hands, "I'm sorry to tell you that you missed an opportunity to witness history."
"Hahaha!"
Many people laughed out loud, did they miss the opportunity to witness the birth of the worst movie in history?
I didn’t expect that Xiazhou people love to joke so much.
Jerry's face turned red...
He quickly pulled An Ran out.
At this point, Jerry really felt that there was nothing he could do. He had no equipment and no one to help him. How could he make this movie?
Chapter completed!
