After the filming was completed, I awakened my superpowers.
Chapter 32: Filming! My Bionic Girlfriend
Chapter 32: Filming! My Bionic Girlfriend
……
The next day.
In a remote studio in H City Film and Television City.
Regardless of the size of the crew, the pattern is quite unified after the opening ceremony of worshiping the God of Wealth.
Yang Jingsong, the producer of the Bionic Girlfriend production team, smiled happily and distributed red envelopes to everyone in the program team. The amount was uniformly 200 yuan for good luck.
When it was Sheng Yixia's turn, Yang Jingsong held his hand tightly and said enthusiastically, "Teacher Sheng, I have heard a lot about you. You are really a promising young man."
"No, no, Mr. Yang is the veteran in the industry. I came here to learn more from him." Sheng Yixia smiled and was very humble.
He had also learned about the producer Yang Jingsong in advance. This person was born in a famous film and television company in Beijing and participated in the production of several big-screen movies. During the boom period of online movies in the past few years, he was reluctant to start his own business.
He did come out last year, but the online movie boom has long passed, the production teams are getting stronger and stronger, and the audience's tastes are getting more and more picky.
Yang Jingsong made two online movies in a row but the results were not satisfactory. To be more precise, he lost money, which made the investors lose confidence in him. This also led to the fact that his "Bionic Girlfriend" encountered many difficulties at the beginning of the project. He only raised 3 million yuan, and the other 1.3 million yuan was out of his own pocket.
"Teacher Sheng, you are too modest. I have seen the Legend of the King of Trafficking. You really shined." Yang Jingsong complimented him repeatedly, "With your participation, I have more confidence in our film."
In fact, when Yang Jingsong first approached Zhang Qing and invited Sheng Yixia to play the second male lead, it was because he was impressed by his marketing ability and the new fans and traffic.
Thanks to that cool video, Sheng Yixia now has nearly 100,000 followers on her Weibo, of which at least 60,000 to 70,000 are new active fans, which is more than many third-rate celebrities have.
As for acting, Yang Jingsong never expected Sheng Yixia's acting skills at all. Anyway, the second male lead in his film was a vase who didn't need much acting skills.
But he never expected that Sheng Yixia would raise tens of millions of funds to join the project and also put forward a series of modification suggestions.
What can I do if my dad wants to change the script?
Change it!
"Mr. Yang, everything we do is for the sake of making a good film. Making money is the most important thing." Sheng Yixia reminded him not to get carried away by having a lot of money.
"Yes, yes, yes, make money, we must make money." Yang Jingsong echoed repeatedly.
He had had enough of the investors' lies, and thought that after he made a comeback with this film, he would throw the money in those investors' faces and act proudly.
After some pleasantries, Yang Jingsong took Sheng Yixia to meet the director, assistant director, producer, leading actor, etc. In fact, there was no need for him to introduce the producer, as that was Zhou Shuyue who was ready to pledge herself to him at any time.
However, in the workplace, Zhou Shuyue also had a serious face, looking like a cold-faced female producer, and just greeted people normally.
Miao Mingjie, who plays the leading role of the leader of Dawn, is about 27 or 28 years old, tall and strong, with a masculine look. He was recommended by another film and television company that invested 3 million yuan.
As soon as Miao Mingjie saw Sheng Yixia, his attitude was very enthusiastic. He called Sheng Yixia "Teacher Sheng" all the time and was very humble.
In fact, he was indeed grateful to Sheng Yixia for not killing him. If Sheng Yixia insisted on playing the leading male role, he would most likely be pushed aside. Even an elementary school student could figure out the difference between 3 million and 10 million.
After a while, agent Zhang Qing brought Gu Yonghan and others to the meeting.
Needless to say, Sheng Yixia had already learned acting skills from Gu Yonghan, this old acquaintance, for nearly two weeks. They were together every day and she was tortured to death by him.
This time, with an investment of 10 million, Zhang Qing not only brought Gu Yonghan into the group, but also two other artists under her command - Yu Zi and Chi Yu.
Zhang Qing took the opportunity to help Sheng Yixia terminate her contract with the company, and also terminated the contracts of Gu Yonghan, Yu Zi, and Chi Yu. However, unlike Sheng Yixia's treatment of opening her own studio, the three of them were signed under the name of Zhang Qing's agency studio.
This time, it is a gathering performance of the four unknown actors under Zhang Qing.
"Hello, Brother Sheng."
Yu Zi and Chi Yu also acted very humble in front of Sheng Yixia. Firstly, their current status was not as high as Sheng Yixia's, and secondly, Sheng Yixia was a rich young man who could easily come up with five million to invest.
"Hey~hey, we are all family, so don't be polite. You are all older than me, so just call me Yixia." Sheng Yixia hurriedly said modestly, and while greeting them, he secretly looked at Yu Zi and Chi Yu.
Yu Zi is not very pretty, but she has a unique temperament and a good figure. It is said that she is an artist who graduated from a dance academy.
Chi Yu is two years older than Sheng Yixia, but his face looks younger, and he looks like a real handsome guy. He is very delicate-looking and a bit shy. It is said that he debuted in a singing reality show. No one knows why he is so unknown.
"Yonghan, I have to go out and run a project. We are all relying on you to lead these junior brothers and sisters." Zhang Qing smiled with a spring breeze. This time, the investment of 10 million yuan made her feel refreshed and able to do whatever she wanted with the production team.
She unceremoniously secured the leading female role for Yu Zi, the second male role for Chi Yu, and let Gu Yonghan play the number one villain - the president of the Eternal Life Group.
How could Zhang Qing miss such a good opportunity to promote her own people?
In her words, Yixia in our family gave up the male lead, so what's wrong with me getting a mere female lead?
Of course, when Zhang Qing did this, he also communicated with Sheng Yixia in advance. After all, he invested the most money, and if the project failed, he would lose the most.
Modu Entertainment is a large company in the industry, and there are definitely more artists being suppressed at the bottom than just Sheng Yixia and the other four. Zhang Qing picked and chose and finally only picked up these four to lead, which certainly wasn't aimless.
From her perspective, at least these four have their own strengths and characteristics, and have the potential to become famous.
With Gu Yonghan's excellent experience as a role model, Sheng Yixia chose to trust Zhang Qing's judgment. Apart from anything else, at least Gu Yonghan's role as the CEO of the Eternal Life Group was definitely a plus for the project.
After arranging the scene, Zhang Qing left in a hurry.
It is great for her to be working on her own now, but without the big tree of Shanghai Entertainment to support her, it is certainly not that easy for her to grab resources. She has to take the initiative to visit the crew and build relationships with them.
"Everyone, don't huddle together here." Gu Yonghan said with a smile, "Go and interact with yourselves, otherwise our small team will have too much atmosphere and have a bad impact."
At the command, everyone dispersed and went to chat.
Soon, the director asked for the first scene.
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became serious.
However, the crew usually chooses a simple scene as the first scene, striving for a good start and allowing everyone to gradually get into the mood.
But this director did the exact opposite.
The first scene chosen was the fighting scene where the heroine was chased by the cyborgs of the Eternal Life Group, and the rivalry scene after she was rescued by the hero.
At the same time, Chi Yu, Gu Yonghan, and Sheng Yixia were all informed by the assistant director of the next scenes to be filmed. Each scene was quite difficult, especially Sheng Yixia, who was asked to prepare for the last scene, where she looked at rows of "daughters" with a doting and obsessed look.
This is a one-person eye-contact scene with a green screen and no real objects, so the difficulty level is basically as high as possible.
Soon, Yu Zi, the leading actress, put on her makeup, put on a tight sci-fi combat suit, and entered the designated shooting location.
While the action director was quickly explaining and demonstrating the key points of the action to her, Sheng Yixia approached Gu Yonghan and asked in a low voice: "Brother Gu, what does the director mean by this?"
"Is he feeling aggrieved and wants to vent his negative emotions in this way because the investors interfered too much with the crew?"
Sheng Yixia was not afraid of performing a difficult role right from the start, but was worried that the director would be emotional. If he continued to work with emotion, the project would probably fail.
Gu Yonghan is indeed a veteran supporting actor, his face remained calm as usual: "Not really, actually I know this director, he is very capable in all aspects."
"He may want to demystify the actors and actresses, especially you, and take the opportunity to establish his authority as a director. After all, if a director has no authority in a crew, it is difficult to direct a good film."
"Oh, just to show your power."
Sheng Yixia laughed instead.
He doesn't care about this, he is just worried that the director will have too much psychological burden when facing the investors and actors, and will be cautious about everything. How can he direct a good work like this?
He really didn't want to lose his mother's five million.
And the better the director shoots, the more chances he has to draw high-quality skill cards.
Now, just wait and see.
Sheng Yixia looked at the bearded director, who was giving orders loudly with a serious and majestic expression, and watched the show with full attention.
