Darkwalker of the Sky World
Chapter 237
Everything went well before the film started.
Whether it''s communication between departments, role communication, or finding a suitable shooting location, it''s plain sailing.
Silent movies don''t have to use lines, but lines are also very important, because language is also the expression of emotion.
Even if there is no sound, the audience should be able to feel the feelings the actor wants to express across the screen.
This is also the reason why most of the film actors at the beginning were actors because they were strictly trained.
Most of the first filmmakers opened photo studios. They only knew the basic photography knowledge.
But when the movie started, everything came out.
Photographers only shoot with fixed lens, which has no beauty at all.
The lighting engineer is always unable to find his position and often enters the mirror.
The actors don''t run in enough and their styles don''t match.
As for acting skills, Zhou Zhen did not dare to expect. Even those film masters in Hollywood and France have not formed the so-called performance system.
In today''s movies, it''s enough to tell a story smoothly.
And there is another place that Zhou Zhen is not used to.
Future generations of shooting can directly see the shooting lens. What''s wrong can be seen at a glance.
But not now. Except for the photographer''s small shot, even the director doesn''t know what the scene is like.
The film taken every day must be removed and printed before it can be played on the film projector.
Then you will find that many shots don''t get the desired effect at all, so you can remake them.
The editing at this time is really cutting the film with a pair of scissors.
According to his experience, the director cut the film bit by bit, then pieced it together, and finally re printed the film in order into a complete negative.
Everyone complained incessantly under Zhou Zhen''s "strict" requirements. In their opinion, the film has been sent well enough, but Zhou Zhen is not satisfied.
As mentioned earlier, movie actress Wang Hanlun shot, edited and acted by herself and made a film.
Today''s film shooting is so rough and disorderly.
Later, Hong Kong films made a film every half a month. At this time, it was faster, and even made a film in three days.
Regardless of their complaints, Zhou Zhen used her identity to force her. In his opinion, the film is still rough and disorderly. It''s just short and tall, and it''s not much better.
Sun Tzu Mei is a little like the international chapter of later generations in shape and style. Although she can''t talk about acting skills, she is still competent to learn singing and play a role since childhood.
The main reason is that it is difficult to unify the current actor style. In order to make the lens harmonious, Zhou Zhen kept improving and remake many scenes.
For this film, he spent more film than five others, and the cost increased significantly.
And the shooting process alone took "a whole month".
Meng Guangzu, the original film director, has completely admired him. He originally thought Zhou Zhen was just a childe playing tickets, but Zhou Zhen''s specialty is much higher than him.
He changed from a director to an assistant director and devoted himself to Zhou Zhen.
In the process of shooting, Zhou Zhen seemed to be "proficient" in every procedure of the crew. Even her acting skills were terrible.
He spoke to male and female leaders more than once. He not only played the role of male leaders very well, but also showed the form of women vividly.
If he hadn''t been worried about his identity, Meng Guangzu wanted to tell him more than once that he might as well let him play the man himself.
Now, unlike later generations, movie actors, actors and actresses, like several women, belong to the next nine pop stars.
If he wants to persuade Zhou Zhen to participate in the film, Jin Rong dares to shoot him directly.
After half a month''s editing, Zhou Zhen added Chinese and English introductory sentences to each segment of the film.
Today''s films are similar to the comics of later generations. They can''t add subtitles when the plot is promoted.
So the film is divided into paragraphs. Before each paragraph begins, there will be subtitles for about five seconds.
Through subtitle introduction, the audience can understand the story of the next stage.
If someone has seen silent films in Chaplin''s time, they can know what''s going on.
However, in the past, the magic capital films only added Chinese tips. Now Zhou Zhen''s elaborate and English Tips just want to open up the foreign market.
"Road angel" is a tragic film, and the plot is somewhat similar to "Camellia girl", including "Tiffany''s breakfast" starring Audrey Hepburn, which is actually the same model.
Zhou Zhen has already figured out the slogan to publicize in the west, Camellia girl in the East.
In the film, he focuses on the beautiful scenery of the magic capital and the big world of Huang Chujiu. In this film, he also shows the luxury of the East.
Cultural invasion, who won''t?
At the end of October, the film was completed and premiered in the big world.
Four cinemas, all showing the film, are still actively promoting it.
In this era, there is no online piracy, and I don''t care whether it is released at the same time. As long as it is shot, it will start to return to the original.
Sometimes, a film is shown in the south for half a year before it is shown in the north.
At the same time, Zhou Zhen is also actively communicating with major consulates to operate the film abroad.
At this time, his identity played an important role. Consuls of various countries were willing to provide convenience for him, the son of the prime minister, whether they liked it or not.
He didn''t deal with companies from various countries. He communicated directly with the consulate, and was willing to provide a 10% profit commission to negotiate with businessmen from various countries through the consulate.
Kong Mao, the original manager of the film company, took charge of this business with four subordinates.
With this relationship with the consulate, although it will increase some costs, those foreign businessmen dare not cheat, let alone print film privately.
Soon, the street angel caused a sensation among the people and caused a viewing frenzy.
The film has gorgeous costumes, luxurious scenery, beautiful actors, compact plot and complete plot.
Zhou Zhen applied the shooting experience of later generations to the current films a hundred years in advance, not to mention compared with domestic films, but also far beyond France, which is the most powerful film maker. Hollywood films have always been apprentices to French films from the beginning
So "road angel" became popular and became a hit.
Fifty cents a ticket is not cheap, but as long as the movie is introduced, the audience will be like a tide.
In mid November, Mrs. Kim came to Mordor from the capital to see if her little son was living well in Mordor.
At this time, when the film is popular, the major media are praising the film.
Zhou Zhen took her mother to the box of the big world cinema to see the film. The old lady burst into tears.
Originally, she preferred and was most worried about her little son, but Zhou Zhen broke into such a momentum two months after she came, which made her no longer worry.
Watching a movie on the screen and sitting next to the actors, Mrs. Kim was particularly excited. She watched the movie and sun CI Mei. This feeling obviously made her very comfortable.
Zhou Zhen was relieved when her mother served her well.
Although he didn''t have much affection for Mrs. Kim, he occupied her son''s identity after all. He always wanted to make her comfortable before he could be worthy of her.
Mrs. Kim was particularly satisfied with her son, but Bai Xiuzhu was a little dissatisfied.
She hoped that Zhou Zhen would always be with her and enjoy a romantic life.
But when she came to the magic capital, Zhou Zhen was busy most of the time, entertaining people from all walks of life and making movies.
Now that the film has been made, it is so popular that although it satisfies her vanity, she is more and more disgusted with sun CI Mei.
The girl is beautiful and has become a big star now, and a fool can see that her eyes are full of infatuation for Zhou Zhen.
She is not afraid that an actor will threaten her status. She is only afraid that she has shared her little seven''s love.
In a beautiful house in the concession, Huang Chujiu widened his eyes in surprise. "How much?"
"It''s half a million."
"The film company can be divided into half... That is to say, in just over half a month, with the surrounding areas, the magic can be divided into 250000!"
"Yes."
"If the whole country..."
The middle-aged man in front of Huang Chujiu said: "the ticket price in other places will not be as high as that in magic. In many places, the ticket price is only one or two cents. However, according to estimation, the film can also sell five million in China."
Huang Chujiu took a breath of air-conditioning. "It''s amazing. In the past, a movie made a lot of money when it sold for tens of thousands of yuan. This time, it increased a hundred times. I didn''t expect to make so much money in making movies..."
The middle-aged smiled and said, "selling medicine is a few cents and a few cents of profit. After the film is made, it is several times, dozens of times of profit. I''m an eye opener this time."
Huang Chujiu said: "you''re going to Europe soon. It''s not easy to get in touch with the prime minister''s son. You must work hard."
"I understand."
In another Huang residence, another boss Huang was shocked by the news.
"Five hundred thousand. How many banquets do I have to sell to earn so much money? The money flowed in one month before and after."
As a tycoon at the bottom, he paid more attention to Zhou Zhen, the son of the prime minister.
He knew very well that he was just criticizing in front of the bottom people. The real top people didn''t pay attention to him. Otherwise, he wouldn''t be miserable in a military governor''s office.
Zhou Zhen''s status is very important if he wants to fight for the top.
Hundreds of thousands did not pay attention to him. He now has at least millions of property, but he was surprised by the speed of money.
I thought it was a yamen, but now I realize that this is a capable man with goods in his belly!
Look again, if the prime minister''s son is really reliable, the whole family will take refuge.
It is said that Jin Quan is now gaining momentum. It is said that within two years, the prime minister''s son will become the president''s son.
