Chapter 41 Boot
On Wednesday, April 15, in the factory area of the old factory in Shougang, the western suburbs of Yanjing, the drama "Hello, Madman!" was launched with the sound of electronic firecrackers.
This movie is a niche suspense film. There were not many media invited by the crew, so they were going to start the film in a low-key manner. However, the reporters in the entertainment industry would rush up if there were any turmoil. Looking at the more reporters on the scene than the staff, Guo Fan and Rao Xiaozhi smiled bitterly. It seemed that they still ignored Qin Mohan's popularity.
The two of them discussed it with Chen Fang. Now that Qin Mohan's existence can make the popularity of this drama popular. So they decided to temporarily hide the information about Chen Fang's participation. Even if the posters and promotional videos were released later, they would appear as mysterious people. After the actual release and release, Chen Fang's identity will be revealed, which will have an unexpected effect and will stimulate the box office.
"Then I will appear as a producer, so I will just be named. Anyway, Mo Han is the leading actor in this drama, and I can fool you even if I do a good job." Chen Fang agreed with the two of them. The directors born in the 1980s will not stick to the rules and regulations. Most of them consider it for the future box office.
The meeting was chaired by Wu Yufei. She has been training with Qu Xiaoxiao for two months and is already very comfortable dealing with this scene.
First, producer Guo Fan and director Rao Xiaozhi introduced the rough plot of the drama: This is a fantasy suspense film. Seven people from different professions and seven people who are not familiar with each other were imprisoned in a mental hospital without any preparation. They encountered various behaviors of being forced to be crazy. The seven people used all their strength to prove that they were not crazy and wanted to escape from the madhouse, which triggered a series of ridiculous stories.
Does this story sound very similar to "Flying Over the Crazy Asylum" at first glance? The reporters at the scene were also confused. Since the producers were unwilling to reveal too many details, they could only inquire about the news from the actors, and Qin Mohan, the most popular, became the main interviewee.
"Hello Miss Mo Han. I am a reporter from Tencent Entertainment, and I am Li Yifei. Why did you answer this video? Why didn't you see this information in your company's notice?"
After the Spring Festival, Tencent Entertainment made a new personnel adjustment, and Li Yifei returned to the entertainment channel she liked. Wild Fox Company and Tencent Entertainment Channel also established a close cooperative relationship. This time, Li Yifei was invited to attend the opening ceremony.
Qin Mohan, who had already cut her shoulders and short hair, stood in front of the microphone and explained actively: "I have obtained this script since last year. This is a relatively brain-burning suspense drama. At that time, I fell in love with the characters in this film. If I hadn't gotten married before the festival, the drama might have started filming before the Spring Festival. So I want to apologize to the other teachers in the crew, which has delayed you for so long."
Only insiders know about Wan Qian quit the performance and Qin Mohan rescued the scene. After all, they are all artists from a company. Although Wan Qian has a reasonable explanation, it will still be affected if it is reported.
Qin Mohan bowed to apologize to several people, and the few people quickly said they didn't dare. Qin Mohan continued to say to the media: "Hello, Madman!" This is a suspense drama, with many plots in it being quite brain-burning and reversible. If you don't watch the full video, you don't know who Madman is, so in order to keep it confidential, we did not publish much information to the public, including the cast and shooting schedule."
The media reporter reported by Zhalang Entertainment asked badly: "I heard that the heroine of "You" directed by director Li Shaohong is the first choice for "Youth", but you participated in the small production film "Hello, Madman!". Do you have any conflicts with director Li Shaohong? Or are you not optimistic about the film "Youth"?"
"No? I have a good relationship with Aunt Hong. We had dinner together a few days ago. Moreover, the box office of the film "Return to Twenty" exceeded 1.3 billion, which is the result of our joint cooperation." Qin Mohan shook his head and said, "As for the film "Youth" you mentioned, Aunt Hong asked me for my opinion from the beginning. At that time, I recommended Senior Sister Wan Qian to star. In addition to her more suitable role as He Xiaoping, there is another reason that I really can't get away this year."
Looking at the media's surprised gaze, Qin Mohan explained with a smile: "Hello, Madman!" is an indoor drama with few scenes and can be completed in about 40 days. "The Whirlwind Girl", which I was the producer, started filming in June, and then a variety show needs to be recorded at the end of June, and "Running Man" will start filming again in September. There is no way to prepare for the drama "Youth".
After hearing Qin Mohan's explanation, although the media reporters who were present again still had some doubts, they still did not make things difficult for them, because most of what Qin Mohan said was true.
The reporter then began to inquire about other guests, hoping to find more insider information. These people are old people in the entertainment industry, and all answers are unlimited. The only actor who may make mistakes is ignored by them. The old god is standing aside, smiling secretly against the identity of a producer.
After the interview, the media on the scene left with the red envelopes prepared by the crew. Only a small number of fans who heard the news were still surrounded by the gate of the old factory in Shougang.
This is a factory rather than a film and television city. There are complete security measures. All idle people without documents are prohibited from entering. In addition, the shooting location is in the workshop. Fans watching see that they cannot see their favorite idols, and gradually dispersed, and the entire shooting base has returned to peace.
Since it is a group drama and the scene is relatively single, and the drama is in a hurry, I did not choose to choose a simple shot to make a good fortune. Instead, according to the order in which things happen, it is a more attractive shot from the beginning.
Seven people who are dependent on different industries, ages and have never known each other appear in this claustrophobic and dark independent space.
The dim set, the shaky chandeliers, the abstract paintings covered in dust, and the uninterrupted skylight flashing with lightning in the rainstorm.
The simpler the shots, the more it will test the actor's acting skills. With a few simple shots, several actors show the characteristics of their respective roles, Dr. Han's cautiousness, Teacher Xiao's timidity, Li Zheng's passion, Ma Rui's fierceness, Yang Meng's recklessness, Lily's pitifulness, and of course An Xi, who has a lonely and fragile face.
Shen Fang watched the performances on the scene from afar. These are experienced actors. They all have their own small movements to show their character characteristics. Jin Shijie pursed his lips when he spoke; Zhou Yiwei would stare at you with his eyes wide open in this drama; even Qin Mohan kept twisting the corners of her clothes with his hands, which made people see her inner uneasiness at a glance.
These made Chen Fang a little strange. He had never learned the performing arts before, as if he had been given a vivid performance simulation class by several people.
There is no Shen Fang scene today. His scenes will take a week before they start filming, so he is on the side to have a good understanding. For example, when Wang Xianhui is talking, he always takes a step back, as if he is waiting to escape at any time. Shen Fang is thinking about the psychological state of the character he plays.
I filmed four-act scenes today, and the plot development only took less than six minutes, or even less. The main reason is that the cooperation between the characters is not tacit enough. Tomorrow, the first conflict in the plot will be filmed, and I guess it will not be much. But the entire crew believes that as the cooperation becomes more and more tacit, it will definitely go smoothly.
Today, the filming was announced to be over 6 o'clock. The work started on the first day, and the crew did not arrange overtime work, and Chen Fang and Qin Mohan also chose to go home. After all, staying in a hotel is not as convenient as being at home.
On the way home, Qin Mohan curled up in the passenger seat, looking tired. She was not physically tired, but mentally. She had to keep her emotions in her eyes, always in a lonely and helpless state. At noon, she listened to the song "New Life" again to find the feeling.
Now she has to peel off this emotion and find some other topics. She looked at Chen Fang and said, "How is it? You watched today, how do you feel like I'm performing?"
Chen Fang thought for a while: "It feels good, but it seems to be a little out of place with them. And when they talk, you are secretly observing them. When they talk about their experiences here, you seem to know in advance. Is this an action you deliberately designed?"
"Oh, the young man is pretty!" Qin Mohan teased him in a whisper. When it comes to filming, her expression was excited, as if the fatigue just now was gone: "Because I want to implicitly express my attitude of being the master, so that the audience will suddenly realize when they see the plot later."
"But in this case, is the sense of the camera weaker? Today, except for Zhou Yiwei, Wang Jian is outstanding. In particular, Wang Jian pointed at Ling Jiayin and said: Don't come over, otherwise I will sue you... The orchid finger is so touching."
"Well, I didn't expect that Brother Wang Jian is still omnipotent, can host and act."
"They are familiar with the crosstalk door for the host, but they still need some talent in acting."
"Don't worry, I believe you, my husband has such talent, too."
Then the two stopped talking and rushed home quietly. After the Qingming Festival, it became longer and longer. It was still evening at around 6 o'clock, and the sunset shone from behind. The skyscrapers in the distance were golden and spectacular, which made Qin Mohan's mood shine a lot.
When he got home, Shen Qingyi was waiting for them to have supper. She picked the toon heads from the trees in her yard and gave some to Chen Hui and the two little girls. Mixed in tofu, it was extremely fresh and refreshing, and accompanied by a few simple home-cooked side dishes, which was extremely warm, and the last trace of haze of Qin Mohan also disappeared without a trace.
Chen Fang also liked the taste of Chinese toon and said to Aunt Liu: "This is delicious. Aunt Liu, buy more on the market tomorrow, and you can cook fried eggs or pickle them into side dishes."
Shen Qingyi looked at Qin Mohan and said, "Mohan, your mother is about to celebrate her birthday."
"Yes, there are five days left. I was going to go to Xijiang to celebrate her birthday, but now I have taken on a show and can't leave."
Chen Fang comforted her: "I'll arrange for someone to send the gift tomorrow. I will definitely understand you."
"I have to do this. After two years, my dad retires and pick them up to live in Yanjing, we will be able to take care of them."
Chapter completed!
