You promised to make a bad movie, but your box office exceeded 10 billion?

Chapter 5 The pillar on the road to losing money

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the West Street bar opposite the school.

This is the shooting location today. Because it is afternoon, there are no customers in the bar at all. As long as you order a few drinks, you don’t even need to rent for shooting here.

When Li Mingyue saw Su You walking in with two people, she couldn't help but frown.

What the hell is that handsome guy?Could it be our hero?
He looks a bit handsome, but if he attracts a wave of fans, wouldn't he be in trouble?

No, the male lead has to be changed!
"Hao Wei, a senior in the acting department, will graduate next year. His acting skills are quite good, and he will definitely be qualified to be our leading actor."

Su You introduced his two roommates to Li Mingyue, "Li Zhenduo, a senior majoring in directing, is quite useful as an assistant director doing odd jobs."

"Ok?"

"This is our leading actor and this is the assistant director?"

Li Mingyue's eyes widened and she looked at the ordinary-looking Hao Wei next to Su You, and then at the handsome Li Zhenduo beside him.

Oh my god, I really found a smart director who let a handsome guy not be the lead, but found an ordinary guy who couldn't be found in the crowd as the lead.

Hao Wei is certainly not ugly, but in the School of Communication where there are so many handsome guys, he can only be regarded as mediocre.

This is very good and very energetic!
With such a smart director who has no brains, coupled with an mediocre lead actor, and a script that's ridiculous to the extreme, it's hard not to think about this drama!

Soon, the two parties signed a contract.

Although it is just a college student startup company, the process is still very formal. The male lead Hao Wei is charged 1000 yuan per episode, and the assistant director Li Zhenduo is offered a fixed price of [-] yuan a month.

As for director Su You, the price is also [-]!
"Brother Hao, Duoduo."

Su You, Hao Wei and Li Zhenduo looked at each other and didn't say much, but it was self-evident.

"Don't worry, I'm full of energy now!"

Hao Wei said excitedly.

“Don’t say much, let your works speak for itself!”

Li Zhenduo put on a sophisticated look, and it could be seen that he was also quite excited.

The three of them were full of emotion and had a lot of energy in their hearts. They must make this short drama well and not let down the trust of their boss!
Li Mingyue almost broke out in laughter. Of course, Su You and the others should be satisfied with this price. This was the highest price the system could agree to after her crazy testing. In other words, it was impossible for anyone other than her to offer such a high price to hire someone. These three wise men.

Including other expenses, the investment in this short drama will exceed 15, and the salary of the three smart people alone is more than 9. The three people are simply the mainstay on her road to losing money!

Soon, the heroine and other extras arrived one after another. Without wasting time, the boss and employees couldn't wait to start filming.

"The first scene, the first act of "The Son-in-law of the Dragon King" begins!" Li Zhenduo, the assistant director, works part-time as a stylist.

Although they are a small crew, they are all academic after all. Even though they are small but well-equipped, the process is still very formal. At least before filming, it still has a decent appearance.

"It's been five years and you're still so useless!"

In a West Street bar, a girl dressed up in a fancy dress said to a boy with disdain, her body movements were extremely exaggerated.

Zhang Keer frowned as he looked behind the vivo s17 camera.

"you're drunk."

The boy said calmly. "Okay, this one is passed!"

Su You clapped his hands and applauded, and after playing it again, a smile finally appeared on his face.

Zhang Ke'er on the side was about to vomit. She wanted to open Su You's brain to see what was inside, but she started from scratch, watching the scene go from normal to absurdly abstract. She also looked at Su You. His face changed from a look of disgust to a smile of satisfaction.

"Is this really a carbon-based organism?"

But Li Mingyue watched on the sidelines and became happier and more satisfied with the director Su You. Look, what is professional? This is called professional!

She suddenly felt that her actions in selecting scripts were a bit redundant. With this, even if it was a normal or even excellent script, Director Su could rely on it to make the film. She was actually worried about losing money before?
"Okay, get ready for the next scene!"

Satisfied, Su You didn't notice the changes in Zhang Ke'er and Li Mingyue's expressions at all. The filming of the short play was much more difficult than he thought. The main reason was that the actors were all college students. At first, he was a little reluctant and couldn't meet Su You's expectations. desired effect.

They filmed this simple scene more than ten times.

"Damn it, second brother, you are also a talent. I really want to know what kind of mental state you were in when you wrote such a ridiculous script?"

Li Zhenduo on the side had nothing to do after he finished typing. He just read the script and laughed. In order not to affect the filming, he pinched his thigh hard to prevent himself from laughing.

Su You ignored him. How could you mortals understand the charm of the Dragon King? When the Dragon King becomes popular, you will know the strength of the Dragon King!
The shooting time flew by, the afternoon passed quickly, and the last scene of the first episode was filmed.

"Brother Hao, if you smile more exaggeratedly here, it's best to raise the corners of your mouth, make it crooked, and be evil, like this..."

Su You pulled the corner of his mouth with his hand to demonstrate. This drama is popular, and this crooked mouth action can be said to be the essence. After all, this drama is also called "Crooked Mouth God of War", so this action must be done well. !

"Isn't this a bit exaggerated?"

Hao Wei said with a crooked mouth and a devilish smile, which made Su You stunned for a moment. This was simply the crooked-mouthed Dragon King in his impression. He could only say that a professional is a professional, and he would hit wherever he pointed, "You are so damned What a genius!"

……

"Ming Yue, why don't we change the script and director? If this continues, this short drama will definitely suffer losses!"

On the way back to the dormitory, Zhang Keer was worried and extremely pessimistic.

After a day of filming, she felt more and more that the short play was dead. As a photographer, she felt that what she was shooting was based on the defense. If it weren't for her high professionalism, she might not be able to persist.

What a loss!
It’s a shame that I didn’t take the photo!
Li Mingyue was smiling happily, everything was going in the right direction. Then she only had to wait for the filming to be completed, and then wait and see if she lost money!
Today, she was watching the filming of this drama the whole time, fearing that there was even the slightest sign of making money.

In the end, she was very satisfied. Su You really lived up to her expectations. After half a day of filming, she didn't see any sign that the show was going to be popular.

"Ke'er, I have the exact opposite opinion as you. I think this show is ridiculous enough and will definitely become popular. It has a bright future!"

Trying hard not to laugh out loud, Li Mingyue opened her eyes and lied to comfort her.

Zhang Keer looked at the energetic Li Mingyue and suddenly felt desperate. She felt that Li Mingyue should have been knocked down by the man named Su You.

Soon, the estimated one-month filming work was completed in just two weeks, and the first thirty episodes had been filmed.

After the initial embarrassment, everyone let go. Even under the leadership of Li Zhenduo, everyone started to have fun. During this period, a lot of inspiration for pranks emerged, and the filming progress was extremely smooth.

Choose and upload!
Su You uploaded the first thirty edited episodes to Douyin in one go. Next, it’s time to face the test!

This world is not much different from the cultural and environmental structure of the previous life. Su You believes that "Dragon King" should be able to create a similar storm, but after all, it has placed too many emotions and expectations on him. At this moment, he can't help but feel uneasy.
