rewrite life

I don't know when it started, when everyone shoots literary and artistic romance films, they will all add a sex scene to it by coincidence.It seems that if this is not the case, the emotional entanglement between the hero and heroine cannot be shown, and the passion is lingering.There is no way to fully express the artistry of the entire film.

The same is true of "Fantastic Journey".As a literary romance film about same-sex themes, during the creation process of "Wonderful Journey", it is unavoidable to have a sex scene.Tang Shi already knew this when he first read the script.I even discussed with Evan whether this plot could be deleted.However, everyone gathered together to discuss several times, and finally had to admit that without this plot, Tang and Jason's emotional accumulation would have been more than a little worse when they finally parted ways.

So Evan and Tang Shi finally decided to restore this plot.However, due to various reasons, Tang Shi has been trying his best to ignore this problem during the filming process.

However, as the shooting progress deepened, this problem that has been deliberately ignored by everyone finally surfaced.And this plot happened right after the scene of the wheat field confession.

Tang sighed with emotion about his dying life, and told Jason that it would be great if time could stay at this moment and never pass by.Then he could stay by Jason's side forever and enjoy the happiness of this moment.

And that night, Jason went to the kitchen himself and made Tang his best french fries.And Jason also carefully carved the French fries into the shape of wheat ears. He said that he wanted to leave the happiness in the wheat field for Tang, so that Tang could remember the confession that day every time he ate French fries. .

He said that their relationship will become deeper and deeper with each day's sunrise and sunset.Jason said that he was willing to cook French fries for Tang for the rest of his life, and he was also willing to eat dumplings with Tang on the [-]th day of the Chinese lunar calendar every year in Huaguo to welcome the new year.He wants to be Tang's real family, just like Tom, the owner of the small town hotel, and his wife Jenny, who can stay together even when their gray hair is gray, and go for a walk in the wheat field every day.

And that night, Tang, who was extremely moved, gave Jason his first time.Although during the entire filming process, Tang Shi and Leon only needed to borrow a seat to kiss in front of the camera, and the rest was done by a double.However, the two of them still blushed and were very uncomfortable.Even when they looked at each other, they would laugh out loud in embarrassment, and then turned their faces away.

So much so that on the next morning of the filming, after Tang woke up, he packed up his bags and left secretly while Jason was still in a coma, all of which were delayed.The atmosphere between the two leading actors was so joyous, there was no sense of separation between life and death at all, and there was no way to shoot this scene at all.

So Evan had to first shoot the scene where Jason hurriedly searched after Don left, but to no avail, and finally left in frustration, and at the same time every year, he would rush back and hope to meet again.In view of Lyon's superb acting skills and talent, this scene was naturally performed by him affectionately, and tears were shed.

During this period, Al's final scene was filmed.In the arrangement of the script, Tom, the innkeeper, knew that Tang was terminally ill, because when Tang secretly took the medicine, he was bumped into by the innkeeper several times.In the end, when Tang left with his bags on his back, it was Old Tom who pushed Jenny and stood outside the hotel to watch him off.

But seeing Jason's appearance full of expectations when he came here every year, Old Tom finally kept this secret.Because he believes that true love will not change with time, geography, or space.

If Jason really loves Don, then he will not be able to accept the fact that Don is dead.And if Jason's love for Don is not so fierce.One day, Jason will slowly forget this relationship and embark on a new journey.So what the outcome of all this will be, in the end let time decide...

After more than three months of hard work, "Wonderful Journey" is finally finished.The next step is the work of post-production and schedule promotion.However, in view of the special situation of independent films, Tang Shi and Lu Hengzhi have no way to determine the schedule at this moment.And through the introduction of Mr. Al, Sugar Juice Studio found one of the most famous literary film editors in Bad Fun - Durmat to edit "Wonderful Journey".

At first Durmatt was reluctant to work on such a small, unknown film.However, for the sake of Mr. Al, Durmat decided to take the tape and take a look. If it is really bad, Durmat, who cherishes feathers, will never take it even if Mr. Al expects it. .

But it is clear that Mr Durmatt's concerns are moot.When he met Evan, Tang Shi and others, saw the script of "Wonderful Journey", and discussed with everyone the idea of ​​the film and the emotions to be expressed, Durmat almost couldn't wait to walk in. The editing room immediately started working.

Make sure "Fantastic Journey" finds a solid editor who doesn't cut the entire film so badly that even Evan doesn't recognize it.The next job for Tang Shi and Lu Hengzhi is to find a suitable soundtrack for "A Wonderful Journey".Regarding this point, Tang Shi actually had some inspiration in the process of filming.

So after returning to Bad Quwu, Tang Shi locked himself in the hotel room, stayed at home for a whole week, and then took out an instrument played by an acoustic guitar, maracas, bass, tambourines, etc. The accompanying country music "Small Town Hotel" was handed over to Evan and Lu Hengzhi who were waiting anxiously.

Evan didn't know the music score, so he couldn't understand what Tang Shi had been brewing for nearly half a year, and it took him a week to create the music score.Lu Hengzhi's eyes lit up after he got the thin sheet of music.While beating the beat, he hummed himself.

The style of the whole music tends to the very popular country music of the Stars and Stripes in the 60s, with a little bit of rock style.It gives people a feeling of nostalgia, warmth and long-lasting affection.While Lu Hengzhi was humming, a more classic part of "A Wonderful Journey" appeared before his eyes unconsciously.

I have to say, just from the style and lyrics of this song, it really fits "Wonderful Journey".

And the next thing they need to do is to find a suitable singer to sing this song.

Tang Shi's suggestion is to find a sexy middle-aged man with a slightly hoarse voice to sing this song.Because such a voice can perfectly interpret the longing for beautiful love and lament for the passage of time in the lyrics.And after the fiery emotions, the rationality tends to be flat, but still clinging to the impulsive calm and timelessness of the year.

Tang Shi's suggestion was approved by Lu Hengzhi.So the two of them were busy looking for such a singer in Huaquwu and even the whole world.But after searching and searching, it turned out that our great actor, Mr. Al, came up with the idea of ​​singing.Before that, almost people all over the world had never heard Mr. Al start singing.

Holding the mistrust of Mr. Al and wanting to watch the excitement, everyone came to the recording studio.In the end, Mr. Al's singing voice managed to amaze everyone—here, I have to explain one thing, that is, Mr. Al's singing skills are really not very good.But his deep, hoarse, magnetic baritone voice, and the fiery emotions contained in his singing, the kind of infatuation and single-mindedness that is finally willing to be ordinary and willing to protect after seeing through the world, made everyone feel unstoppable after listening to it once. Various clips from "A Wonderful Journey" emerged.

And Mr. Al also made it clear that he recalled his life of acquaintance and love with his wife from this song, so he had the urge to sing.

It has to be said that Mr. Al's volunteering solved the biggest problem between Tang Shi and Lu Hengzhi.At the same time, it also added an indispensable gimmick to the later publicity work-you must know that this is the first song of Mr. Albert who has been in the film for more than 40 years, and it can be called his debut.This alone can attract Mr. Al's diehard fans all over the world, as well as curious movie fans, to watch this movie.

For Mr. Al's great support, Tang Shi and Lu Hengzhi, besides expressing their gratitude, can only promise to do their best in the later part.After the film is released, it will not let everyone down.

In addition to the soundtrack, the post-dubbing and mixing parts also require the cooperation of actors and staff.

In short, all these trivial matters really made Tang Shi and Lu Hengzhi, who were exposed to the filmmaking business for the first time, extremely overwhelmed.However, since the release of "Black Man 3", thanks to Lucas and Catherine, when they received announcements all over the world, they also promoted the movie "Wonderful Journey" by chance.Coupled with the dedication of the Al couple to join.Therefore, as soon as the film was finished, it received more eager attention from major distributors and theaters.

However, considering the strength of Sugar Juice Studio and director Evan.Even considering the identity and nationality of Tang Shi and Lu Hengzhi, when negotiating the contract, everyone always disagreed.Some distributors and theaters even want to get more than two-thirds of the profits.After such additions and subtractions, excluding the part they wanted, plus the part that Tang Shi and Lu Hengzhi had agreed to share with Evan, Leon, and the Al couple, in the end the two of them struggled for a long time. You have to pay for it.Naturally, Tang Shi and Lu Hengzhi would not agree to this kind of shop bullying.

Fortunately, at the most critical moment, the studio's third largest shareholder - our great Mr. Pique, solved this headache.He ordered his private lawyer team and his team of negotiators to conduct a friendly and harmonious negotiation with distributors and theaters.And with the help of "Black Man 3" and the Al couple's silver screen debut after 30 years, they finally decided to use the most common distribution method in bad fun to distribute the benefits after the film's release.

也就是在影片上映的前三周，制片方——糖汁工作室与院线部分按照90%比10%的比例进行票房分成。而在第四周到第六周的时候，双方按照60%比40%的比例进行分成。至于到了第七周和第八周的时候，双方则按照65%比35%的方式进行分成。

In this way, it can be ensured that the hardest-working producers—that is, the hard-working Tang Shi and Lu Hengzhi, can get about 50% of the box office during the film's release period after tossing for so long.Of course, this also includes those distributed to Lyon, Evan, and the Al couple.

So in the end, Tang Shi and Lu Hengzhi have worked so hard for so long, and after excluding taxes, the final income they can get is about 25% of the box office.

Such a sour and refreshing way of dividing accounts made Tang Shi feel emotional for a long time.I just feel that it is easier to make movies in Bad Funwood than in China.Of course, Tang Shi couldn't help thinking about distribution and cinema.But in Huaquwu, where he was unfamiliar, Tang Shi had no way to taste his wish for the time being.As for the plan after returning to China, it is still too early to say, so let's not mention it for the time being.

Fortunately, Tang Shi has always been more economical, and he has long indicated that Lu Hengzhi bought the hotel with money when he was negotiating with the original owner of the hotel about the shooting.I am going to wait until after the release to earn some money from the tourism economy.As for the celebrity peripherals that Tang Shi is best at - Tang Shi said that he has already sharpened his sword.

But no matter what, after nearly half a year of hard work, Tang Shi and Lu Hengzhi can finally appreciate the fruits of their hard work with satisfaction.
