At first, I just wanted to make money

"...How does it feel to be a director for the first time?"

"One word: Tired. Now I just want to go home, take a hot bath, and then sleep for a day and a night." Shen Xudong pointed to his eye circles, "For more than ten days, I only sleep for a few hours a day, and the work is intense. After filming, I didn’t even have time to take a shower when I went back, so I fell asleep. I suffered so much, it made me collapse.”

Feng Xiaogang laughed: "Apart from these?"

"Except for these... nothing!"

"Don't you enjoy it... Watching your own movie take shape bit by bit according to your own ideas..."

Shen Xudong shook his head: "As a producer, I can also watch my own movie take shape."

"...Come on, let's not talk... let's have a cigarette!"

Shen Xudong hurriedly took out Hua Zi from his pocket, lighted it for him, and lighted one for himself by the way, and then said: "Being a director has a reward!"

"what?"

"The addiction to smoking has grown!"

"...What about alcoholism?"

"I'm allergic to alcohol... congenital."

"... Then you can have a drink later."

Shen Xudong knew how to drink without Feng Xiaogang's reminder.

There are about [-] people on the crew of "Rise of Fame" - cameras, lighting, slide rails, radio equipment, etc...

Already very small!

In fact, with the name of Shen Xudong and the starring lineup, it is still very easy to casually form a production team of more than 200 people.

It's not that Shen Xudong finds it troublesome.

He didn't recognize all the fifty or so people...

It's not a blockbuster...

Excluding the remuneration of the cast and crew, the real shooting cost of "Rising Fame" was less than 300 million.

Then how to achieve a cost of 3500 million?

Oh, Shen Xudong gave himself a high salary: screenwriter, producer, and director fees add up to 1700 million...

Is it high?
This play was won by him, without him, where would "Fame and Li Wan" come from?
Besides, he does have three jobs!
Hard work pays more!
Yuan Shikong, "囧Mom" cost 2.2 million, Xu Zheng took 8700 million by himself, and no one said anything.

……

There were not many people at the finale banquet, and there was no class division. After two glasses of wine, everyone became one.

The scene was very lively.

"Director Shen, I would like to offer you a toast! I wish the box office a big hit!"

"…thanks!"

Shen Xudong got up and had a drink with a worker who came to toast...

In fact, most of the staff of the crew are rough men who just want to make a living...

professional?
There is a professionalism of hanging hair. The style of most domestic lighting can be summed up in one sentence: all lights.

Then, when shooting, I have to tell you, 'Oh, there are so many reflections! "

Paralyzed against you!

Therefore, the light that Shen Xudong was looking for was Zhang Li...

Let the photographer set up the lights directly!

——The most important thing in "Rising Fame" is the lighting of the characters and the lighting of the scene...

Let's put it this way, the crew of "Rising Fame", in the very first scene, there was no one specially assigned to guard the high platform, that's all, there were no sandbags...

Shen Xudong scolded directly, and then asked Zhang Li's team to take care of lighting.

Also, the crew of "Rising Fame" did not rent a lift car, and directly used the lift light pole...

It's really Feng Xiaogang's sentence, "Inland crews, except for the main creators, most of them are migrant workers"...

However, the wrap-up banquet.Shen Xudong never refuses anyone who comes, even though he knows that the song is over, and that the gang of migrant workers may not have a deep affection for the movie.

In fact, for the staff of the film crew, this is just a ten-day job. After drinking, no one will be immersed in the "memories" except Guo Fan, Su Lun, and Yin Ruoxin, who were filming for the first time. , "Reluctance" emotions.

Everyone received their wages, and Lao Yan was separated.

Tomorrow I still have to find a job and support my family.

Everyone in the circle respected him, but Shen Xudong couldn't hold it back anymore—he needed to go to the bathroom after two bottles of drinks were in his stomach.

Then Da Tiantian came over with a cup: "Director, I respect you."

Shen Xudong smiled all over his face: "Tiantian, come on..."

Then Jing Tian said loudly, "I know I'm stupid... You taught me a lot in this filming. Not only the method of filming, but also the principles of life. Thank you Director Shen, you are a good director!"

"...When will I... teach you the principles of life?"

Just as Shen Xudong was about to ask back, the latter had already picked up his wine glass and drank it down...

"...you drink less..."

Shen Xudong was a little worried, and then, watching Da Tiantian's face turn red, she fell directly into Shen Xudong's arms... unconscious.

Everyone at the scene was stunned...

A few seconds later, a group of people started booing:
"Get yourself drunk and give others a chance?"

"This trick is really good!"

"Xudong, you don't have a girlfriend! Tiantian is just right!"

"Bosses, stop joking!" Shen Xudong panicked, and hurriedly shouted: "...Zhang Xi, and those girls, come and help!"

Shen Xudong's personal assistant immediately assisted Su Lun and Yin Ruoxin to help Jing Tian up...

"You guys take her back to the hotel first!"

Zhang Xi asked in a low voice, "Sent to your room?"

Shen Xudong glared at her directly: "...sent to her own room..."

and then?
Then...Shen Xudong went to the bathroom!

What he didn't know was that after getting into the car, Da Tiantian, who was lying in the back row, immediately opened his eyes—a pity!
It's a pity that Shen Xu Dongyu's head is not clear...

……

"Rising Fame" took 18 days to shoot, and Chen Xudong stayed on the set for more than 12 hours a day. After returning home, he had to think about the next day's filming work...

Not to mention Da Tiantian, even Gong Li, he has no intention of actively communicating art!
Therefore, making a movie is really exhausting, and it is also consuming my artistic intuition-art must be communicated frequently, once it stops, it is very soft and easy to cherish...

Be good at discovering new art!
If Shen Xudong is not the director but the producer of "Rising Fame", he will definitely have a chance...

Going back, Gong Li left the crew early in the morning - she had to audition for "The Dark Knight", auditioning for the role of Miranda, the daughter of Master Ninja...

The movie was finished, and the most important thing before Shen Xudong was, of course, editing.

After editing is the printing, copying and post-production of the film.

The shooting stage of a film is only the initial completion of film creation.

In the later stage, editing, dubbing, editing, and color correction are required, and then slowly take shape.

Film shooting is only the first half of the entire film process, which is only a part of the industrial process. Editing is to rearrange and select the shot materials...

Therefore, editing work is a very important link in the entire film creation.

Script, filming, editing, the three major factors of film and television drama creation!
Hollywood even thinks that editing is higher than shooting, so many directors don't have the right to edit.

Shen Xudong didn't have any idea about the editing of "Rise of Fame" - just cut according to memory!

Even so, it still took three or four days of intense work.

After the finished product was finished, he walked out of the editing room with Zhang Yifan, his face was greasy, his body was exhausted, and his body smelled sour...

These days I eat and sleep in the editing room...

Oh, Zhang Yifan is a well-known editor in the industry, and has worked with both Jiang Wen and Ning Hao.

After saying goodbye to Zhang Yifan, Shen Xudong went home first—take a good bath!
