The villain must spend all his money before he goes bankrupt [Transmigration Book]

Seeing the text message, the corners of Ye Zhou's mouth raised unconsciously, and he quickly returned a smiley face on the keyboard with his hand, put the phone in his pocket and ran outside.

As soon as Ye Zhou came out, he saw Jiang Tingyuan standing not far away. He couldn't help but quicken his pace, trot to his side, and said, "Is it hot or not, here you are."

As he spoke, he took off the black peaked cap on his head and put it on Mr. Jiang's head very naturally.

Jiang Tingyuan always wears a formal attire, and today is no exception. A peaked cap in a formal attire looks nondescript, and with his expressionless face, it looks quite funny.

But he didn't reject Ye Zhou's kindness. Instead, he held the brim of the hat, straightened the hat and put it on.

In fact, Ye Zhou's move was superfluous. Mr. Jiang was afraid that Ye Zhou would be exposed to the sun, so he walked over when he came out and didn't bother to open the umbrella. When Ye Zhou put on the hat for him, the bodyguard holding the umbrella Arrived in time to cover the two of them under an umbrella to shade them from the sun.

Ye Zhou is not afraid of being exposed, he has basically become a little black man since he came back from South Africa, and he doesn't panic if he is exposed in South Africa, let alone here, he is not a star anyway, he is a little bit rough, there are many Manly!

Jiang Tingyuan patted his head, and the two returned to the set together.

Everyone on the set was already familiar with the president of the Jiang Corporation, and they really couldn't be blamed for their calm reaction. Whoever saw Jiang Tingyuan on the set every now and then would not be surprised to see him again.

Since the two confirmed their relationship, Mr. Jiang would come to check in basically every two or three days, and the attitude of the crew has also changed from the initial fear and trepidation to the current normality.

"Everyone stop, Director Ye invites everyone to drink herbal tea and eat desserts. If you need it, you can go to the front to get it."

Following the assistant director's words, the already lively studio became even more lively, and they all thanked Ye Zhou and Mr. Jiang.

Mr. Jiang would bring a lot of things with him every time he came, and give favors in the name of Ye Zhou, but even though it was in the name of Ye Zhou, everyone knew that the two had a good relationship after a long time, so the thanks were also with the two of them.

Ye Zhou took two bottles of herbal tea, unscrewed the cap of one and handed it to Mr. Jiang, and took a few sips of the cup by himself, then sighed comfortably, "Brother Jiang, would you like to take a look at the shot I just took, I feel It was shot pretty well.”

Jiang Tingyuan would not spoil his interest, so he walked to the monitor with him, pulled up a chair and sat down beside Ye Zhou, and watched the screen with him.

What I have to say is that Ye Zhou's previous two works were not just luck, his shots gave people a very tense feeling.

His personal style became more obvious when he was filming the fighting scene in "A Farce". Later, in "Chasing the Light", when the two brothers were fighting with the old bastard, his personal style became more and more obvious, and was noticed by many film critics .

However, there are not many fighting scenes in those two films, and more of them are mainly literary dramas. In addition, there are many controversies in the two works in the industry, so the film critics only mentioned one or two when they mentioned it.

But now "Horror Circus" is completely different. Almost 70% of the whole movie is fighting and fleeing. Except for the few opening scenes, all the actors are either running or fleeing. Rarely has time to rest.

Ye Zhou was given enough room to play, allowing him to maximize his advantages. In the past, Ye Zhou liked to work hard on actors, but this time it was different. He made a fuss about the camera and screen.

Speaking of it, this is also due to the experience of the previous life.The crew that Ye Zhou worked in in his previous life was always capitalized with the word 'poor'.Big directors don't have to worry about investment, but small directors can't attract investment. No investment means that every penny has to be spent wisely.

And the scenes that are slightly shocking need to be piled up with money. When the audience sees the content for a second or two, the crew will spend tens of millions, and the big director sometimes even tens of millions for just a few seconds. .

Ye Zhou had no money in his previous life, and he couldn't make big scenes, so he could only find another way, work hard on actors, shrink big scenes into small scenes, and big fights into small fights, which made him unable to understand the tension between the camera and the picture. show up.

This life is different. Ye Zhou has fattened up his courage under Mr. Jiang's unconditional connivance. He can shoot whatever he wants, no more scruples, and he can do whatever he wants. The originally suppressed tension burst out in an instant.

The first two films are still not obvious, but this movie fully embodies the tension from beginning to end.

The screen on the monitor froze, and Ye Zhou looked at Mr. Jiang expectantly, and asked his opinion: "How is it?"

In fact, Jiang Tingyuan is not very interested in movies. Even if he watches them occasionally, he would watch some relatively quiet and classic old movies. Like this movie made by Ye Zhou, he rarely dabbled in it.

But this does not hinder his sensitivity to the market. Now that the grading system has just been implemented, there was a blank period of several years before this type of film. If Ye Zhou's entire film is as high-quality as the one he just showed him , as long as it can pass the review, the box office will definitely not be bad.

"Very good." Jiang Tingyuan had a smile on his eyes, and never hesitated to praise Ye Zhou.

Ye Zhou laughed happily. He just asked casually just now, but he didn't expect Mr. Jiang to boast so straightforwardly.In fact, these things he took need to add special effects to see the effect. It is difficult for non-professionals to see the good or the bad.

In addition, most of the beasts hunted in this movie are synthesized by special effects in post-production. At present, they are only green screens and silhouettes, which may seem a little funny to laymen.

The reason why Mr. Jiang said that was because Ye Zhou added a boyfriend filter.He even suspected that even if there was no picture on his monitor, Mr. Jiang would agree.

If this incident happened to others, Ye Zhou would not have any reaction, but it happened to Mr. Jiang who is always serious and serious. Seeing Mr. Jiang expressing his compliments with a blank face, Ye Zhou's smile somehow hit him , he supported Mr. Jiang's shoulders and laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten up.

Jiang Tingyuan was a little helpless, trying to explain to himself, "It's really good."

"Yeah!" Ye Zhou nodded his face very much, but he couldn't hide the smile on his lips, and he couldn't help laughing again not long after he finished speaking.

Mr. Jiang sighed in his heart. There was nothing he could do about Ye Zhou, so he lightly tapped him on the head, "When will it be finished?"

Ye Zhou thought for a while, and said, "One month if it's fast, or two months if it's slow, it's almost finished, and there's not much left."

The filming progress of this movie is faster than Ye Zhou expected. It has only been half a year since it was started, and it has already entered the final stage. Such a fast speed is good for saving money, but the bad thing is that the originally expected schedule will definitely not come true, so we can only advance it. .

Jiang Tingyuan understood when he heard the words. He thought for a while and said, "Not long after the classification system started, the procedures for passing the review are more complicated and may take a while."

The Ye Zhou he was talking about knew about it. He made a special trip to learn about the procedures after Ren Zian came to him, but Ye Zhou was only a director after all, and the information he got was obviously different from what Mr. Jiang could get.

"Well, I'm mentally prepared. I'm not afraid of a long time, but I'm afraid that I'll be stuck in the end." Ye Zhou was a little helpless. Everything in the world in this book is quite illogical, but the rules and regulations are quite strict. .

If the script hadn't been too to his liking, Ye Zhou wouldn't have agreed to it just because of the trouble and risk.But now that the filming is almost over and the money has been invested, it is obviously impossible to retreat.

"Don't worry too much." Jiang Tingyuan saw the melancholy in his eyes, and comforted him, "It's not a big problem to pass the trial, but the time may be a little longer."

Jiang Tingyuan's guess was correct. It was already mid-August when the filming was finished, and it was already the end of November when the post-production special effects editing process was completed, and then there was a long review time, until the Spring Festival. audio.

However, a comedy film that was submitted for review almost at the same time as "The Horror Circus" has successfully passed the review, and the schedule has been confirmed, which is the Lunar New Year file during the Spring Festival.

Regarding this, Ye Zhou didn't have any more emotions except helplessness. He originally wanted to catch up with the New Year's Eve, but now this situation is obviously not going to happen.

However, although Ye Zhou's film failed to be screened successfully, He Feiyang's "Tears Behind the Bar" won enough awards in many film festivals and is about to be screened in China.

According to what He Feiyang meant, he wanted to avoid the Lunar New Year stalls. After all, the competition for the Lunar New Year stalls is quite fierce every year, and there are many great gods from all walks of life. It is obviously not that easy to get a share of it. In vain.

Although "Tears Behind the Bar" has won many awards, is widely praised by film critics, and has an excellent reputation, but word-of-mouth cannot be relied upon, and a good reputation cannot represent a good box office. It is a niche film, whether it is He Feiyang or Liu Zhaodu I am not confident that I can get any good results in the Lunar New Year file.

This is not because of a lack of confidence in one's own work, but because one is not optimistic about the audience. If the film is insisted on being released on the New Year's Eve, not to mention the box office, it may not even get many films, and there is almost no competitiveness.

However, after watching the film, Ye Zhou firmly decided to let them catch the New Year's Eve.Call out the person in charge of the theater chain who has a good relationship with them, and personally accompany and introduce the two to them.

At first, the people in charge of the theaters were very conservative. After all, this is not a normal schedule. This is the Lunar New Year stall that only comes once a year. The film schedule is definitely not something that can be decided by a few words on the wine table. There are no fools who can achieve high positions. Sticking fur one by one is better than monkeys, so naturally it is impossible to agree.

The reason why he was willing to give Ye Zhou a schedule before was because Ye Zhou's first two movies had done well at the box office, and he is now considered a well-known director in the industry; second, it was for Mr. Jiang's face; After the screening, everyone has already considered the quality of the film, even before it was banned, the quality is still high.

As Jiang Tingyuan said before, the horror movie has been idle for too long, and they also want to see the audience's reaction, see if Ye Zhou can open up the market, and are willing to give him a chance.

"Tears Behind Bars" is different. Although it has won many awards, it looks like it is glittering, but it is strictly limited by the subject matter.

Think about it, isn’t watching a movie during the New Year’s Eve just to have a family reunion? If anyone has nothing to do to watch a tear-jerking educational film, isn’t that out of their minds?

Under Ye Zhou's repeated assurances, the directors of three theaters expressed their willingness to watch the film first, while the others politely refused.

He Feiyang's film was really good enough. After the screening of the film, the directors of the three theaters all walked out of the theater with red eyes, and one of the female directors even cried and her eyes were swollen.

Facts have proved that there is no shortage of people who appreciate good movies. Although there are not many movies given, they are more than double the number of ordinary small movies. It can be regarded as giving "Tears behind bars" a chance to participate in the competition for the Lunar New Year file.

As for whether this opportunity can be seized, it depends on the audience's preference for the film. If the early box office is good, the later film schedule will definitely increase, but if the early box office is not good, I am afraid that even the original film schedule will not be kept.

At 5 o'clock on the New Year's Eve, [-] minutes into the premiere of "Tears Behind the Bar", Ye Zhou, wearing sunglasses and a thick scarf, sneaked into the cinema with Mr. Jiang, who was dressed in the same style.

The lights in the cinema had already dimmed. In order not to affect other people's viewing experience, Ye Zhou found his place in the dark without turning on the flashlight.

After sitting down, he took a breath, lowered his voice and said to Mr. Jiang beside him, "It's safe, you can take off the scarf, and put it on when it's almost over."

Xianglai Jiang Tingyuan seemed to be hesitant, after a moment of silence, he also lowered his voice and replied: "I'm not hot."

It's the first time I wear a couple model, so I have to wear it for a while, no matter what.
