Star Entertainment Tycoon

Chapter 5 Shooting

The autumn wind is bleak, and the courtyard is full of fiery red and golden leaves blown by the cold wind. Except for the path paved with cobblestones, which has been swept clean and white as snow, the rest of the place is covered with a thick carpet of leaves. Beautiful and bleak.

The ancient courtyard was lifeless, and even the leaves of those brilliant colors inexplicably brought a trace of chilling air, paired with the dead body of the middle-aged man who fell on the ground and had no breath, let the people standing in the courtyard, under the tall buildings The breathing of several people couldn't help but become hurried.They clenched their palms tightly one by one, and their nails pricked their palms. It seemed that only in this way could they get rid of the tension and fear in their hearts.

A young man in a green robe half-kneeled beside the deceased, carefully inspecting the lethal arrow wound on the chest of the deceased, and frowned slightly, "The Fuguan family was killed by an arrow in the chest, and the arrow shot from obliquely upwards and downwards. Pierce the heart and lungs, kill with one blow." He dipped his finger in the blood on the wound, rubbed it with his hand, put it under his nose and smelled it, and checked the arrow glowing with blue light, and then said with a smile: " The blood color is dark, the smell is too fishy and sweet, and it has the special fragrance of Miluo flower. It seems that the arrowhead is also coated with the poison extracted from Miluo flower... This murderer obviously must kill Fu Steward, except for the bow and arrow , and even used the poison that seals the throat with blood, it can be seen that he must put the housekeeper to death."

"Looking at the degree of stiffness of the deceased, he should have died an hour ago, that is, around the time of the hour. There are fallen leaves around the body, and there are no traces of the fallen leaves being dragged, which means that the body has not been moved. This is where he died. Arrow The arrow was inserted into his chest obliquely from top to bottom, which means that the murderer hid in a high place and shot arrows at Steward Fu who was standing on the ground. The only nearby building that meets the conditions for the murderer to hide is the tall building next to it!"

The young man stood up with a calm expression. He tidied up his clothes casually and looked very chic. He didn't look like he had just checked the corpse at all. Compared with the few people beside him whose faces turned pale from fright, he was obviously more than a little taller.He asked a young gentleman present, "Brother Bochu, do you know who has entered and exited this high-rise building in the mansion? And do you know what enemies this steward Fu has in his daily life?"

The young gentleman from Zibo pondered for a while, and said: "Butler Fu has always been kind to others. Both the master and the servants in the mansion are close to him. I really can't think of anyone who will have a grudge against him. As for this tall building...you know, My father likes to practice Taoism, so he built this building for stargazing and alchemy. The alchemists told him that ordinary people would lose their immortal energy if they entered the alchemy place, so he locked the door, and only my father had the key. No one should be able to enter this building without my father's permission."

As soon as he finished speaking, another young man next to him interrupted: "Cousin, although only my uncle has the key to this star observation tower, but this tower is not made of iron. If someone breaks the lock or breaks the key The doors and windows can always be entered inside, let's go there and check it out."

After hearing this, everyone agreed with his statement, and sent a servant to stay here to watch the deceased, and the rest of them went to the Star Observation Tower, intending to check whether the locked doors and windows of the Star Observation Tower were damaged.

After a scene was filmed, Gu Jingchuan deleted everything from the Star Observatory, dead bodies, and fallen leaves from his mind. He broke away from the identity of the protagonist, heaved a sigh of relief, and pressed the pause button of the motion capture device without even a sensor. After unloading it, walk back to the instrument from the center of the square to check the movement received by the instrument just now.

There are a lot of people in this scene, from the master to the servants plus the body of Butler Fu, there are seven or eight people, but the actor is only Gu Jingchuan.After playing A, he still needs to play B, C, and D. The movements, positions, and timing of any character need to be adjusted. Do it again, even if his acting skills are very good, it takes a whole day to finish it. took this shot.

Some people think that filming must be very interesting, you can interpret different lives, you can say interesting lines, and you can go to various beautiful places for outdoor shooting, it is simply too wonderful.

Gu Jingchuan felt that those who would say such things were definitely not people in the circle.As long as you are an actor, no matter if you love your career or just want to become famous, no one will think that when you are filming, you will be as beautiful as a fairy tale. I still can't help complaining a few words, because filming is really hard.

Large screens have much higher requirements for actors than small screens. Compared with small screens that are only tens of inches, the minimum screen of a movie is more than ten meters. Under such a large magnification, the expressions and movements of actors are a little bit different. Problems will be revealed and completely impossible to hide.Because of the high requirements, no matter how good an actor is, it is impossible for him to always pass one by one. Either he is not in the right state, or he is dragged down by other actors, or even dragged down by tricks. The actors will inevitably ask for it again. Playing the same scene over and over again, sometimes hours may not pass.

If you meet a director with strict requirements, it will be even more difficult to muddle through. Sometimes you can't pass a scene for a few days, and you have to toss back and forth, and you need to fully brew your feelings.In addition to fatigue or fatigue, the only thing left is to get through this idea quickly.

It is even more torture for actors to go out on location.In the film and television city, all kinds of supporting facilities are relatively complete, and both the accommodation environment and the level of food are still within the acceptable range.But when it comes to shooting on location, especially in some remote places, there may not be people living in the surrounding area, and you have to set up your own tent for accommodation. Some food is good, and it’s cold and hot. It depends on luck, if you want to play big names, no one will take care of you, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, it can't save the pain in your heart.

The movie Gu Jingchuan made was several times more boring than those actors.

He needs to play all the characters in the film by himself, even corpses and extras, which is several times more workload than ordinary actors.However, as a director, he still has high requirements. He has wrong positions, wrong expressions, and nothing is right. , to meet your own requirements.

Except for him, who is almost mentally tortured by dreams, other people's performances will be insane.Fortunately, his spirit is already used to this kind of disordered situation, and each character enters and exits the play quickly, so that he will not torture himself crazy.

There are no opposite actors, no real scenes, the costumes are not what the characters look like, and there is no full-time director to guide his acting skills from the perspective of a bystander.If this kind of shooting method were replaced by other people, they would have quit long ago, but Gu Jingchuan was full of energy and never tired of it.

In order to save money on renting machines, he only sleeps for four hours a day, and spends most of the rest of the time on filming.He only has one person, not to mention reliable assistants, he doesn't even have an assistant who can move things, hand water towels, everything has to be done by himself.After the play, he still has to do chores, not to mention that he has to do chores by himself as director and cameraman. It is like splitting him up into dozens of people, and he is exhausted every day.

It's hard to do work, and it's not easy to rest.

Although this residential area is abandoned, fortunately, the energy supply system can still be used. As long as you use your personal terminal to recharge the machine, you won't have to worry about energy and water supply.But Gu Jingchuan can't cook at all, and can't take care of three meals a day, so he can only drink more and more tasteless nutrient solution every day to supplement energy.Every meal time, he vowed that if he made money, he would eat roasted eggplant until he was full, but after the vow, he still had to ponder over the next scene with a nutrient solution in his mouth.

When filming here, of course, it’s fine when it’s sunny, and you can rest in the room with peace of mind.But when it rains, when I sleep, I will always be woken up by the water leaking from the roof.I often have to get up to catch the rain after sleeping for a while, and I can't rest well all night.

Once, Gu Jingchuan was so tired that even the dripping water from the roof didn't wake him up. When he woke up, he found that he was completely submerged in the water, and he had a severe headache because of being submerged in the water for several hours. cold.

Suffering from poor food and clothing, enduring illness, exhausted... Gu Jingchuan is still full of energy in such an environment, and puts all his energy on movies. Several months have passed, and he has no intention of shrinking back.

Therefore, the biggest motivation for a person in his life is his dream.For the dream, all the pain is nothing, even if people fail in the end, these past pains will become the most beautiful scenes in their lives.

What is dream?It is something that a person wants to do most in his life, and if he doesn't do it, he will regret it for the rest of his life.Gu Jingchuan doesn't know what other people think, whether they will forget their dreams for various reasons, but he will never!

In his last life, when he was an ordinary martial artist, he never thought of backing down even when he was in despair.Now that he has talent, self-confidence, and experience from a parallel world, he has no reason to give up his dream.The failures and despair that are repeated every day can't break him down. How can the pain of reality stop him from moving forward?

The love for dreams will be wiped out because of the suffering of reality, because he doesn't love deeply enough.For Gu Jingchuan, dreams are his life and the source of his happiness. As long as he is on the road of chasing his dreams, there will be no pain, no hardships, only beauty. Even if he is trapped in the crocodile pool, it is like sitting in a fairy tale castle generally.When making a movie, he doesn't feel bitter, but only happy.

It took Gu Jingchuan more than four months to shoot the movie, which is the result of his superb skills and rushing to work day and night, otherwise it may not be possible to complete the collection of all the movements in a whole year.

Gu Jingchuan returned the machine to the fat boss of the rental shop. After a long time of soaking softly and hard, the fat boss gave him a fraction of the rent with an expression of "I've convinced you, please don't say it." I only received 1 star coins.

"There is more." Gu Jingchuan walked to the door, but remembered another incident when he came to the rental shop, and quickly turned back to the boss and said.

"Anything else?" The fat boss shuddered, the fat on his face trembled several times, and quickly waved his two fat palms to drive away the pseudo-boy, "It's been agreed, the rental fee is [-], It can't be any cheaper. My brother, you can't let me make no money at all, so you can show mercy and forgive my brother this time..."

Gu Jingchuan knew that the boss had misunderstood him, and also knew that he had bargained too hard just now, so he couldn't help but touched his nose, smiled embarrassingly, and then said: "Boss, I'm not talking about the rent, I just want to ask you something else. thing."

Upon hearing that it had nothing to do with the rent, the boss coughed twice, smiled awkwardly, withdrew his waving arm, and said with a smile, "Ahem, what do you want to inquire about?"

The fake boy said seriously: "I want to ask you, where can I buy cheap and easy-to-use star brains. Boss, you have opened a shop here for more than ten years. You should know a few acquaintances who sell star brains."

"You want to buy a star brain to process the captured images?" The boss immediately wanted to understand Gu Jingchuan's intentions. He thought for a while and said, "Don't you have a personal terminal? You can also process images with that."

Gu Jingchuan was very speechless, does he look like a rich man?Wrist personal terminals are like a combination of mobile phones, ID cards, and passports in the 21st century, and they can indeed be used to process documents.But the one on his wrist is just a cheap basic version with the most basic communication and Internet functions. The only advantage is that the storage capacity is sufficient, and it is not a high-end product with a holographic projection screen and enhanced computing power, just like Is it the same as the black and white screen elderly phone pk Apple 6s, is it comparable?

Besides, even if it is a high-end personal terminal, it cannot compete with the Star Brain after all. The display level and computing power of the screen are too different.It’s just enough to make a small video with it, so isn’t it a joke to use it to officially make a movie?Hell if it's done well.

Seeing Gu Jingchuan's speechless expression, the fat boss grinned, and quickly diverted the previous words, "Just using the star brain is not enough. If you want to input character images and background images, you need at least a connected helmet." He made some calculations, and then said: "A professional star brain plus a connected helmet that can meet your requirements on the market now costs at least 4 to [-] yuan..."

Gu Jingchuan frowned.The money in his hands has been consumed a lot in the past four months, no matter how frugal he is, it has cost him two to three thousand living expenses in the past four months.Now, he only has [-] star coins for all his money, not to mention future expenses, even now he doesn't have enough money to buy equipment.

The kind of movie he wants to make depends entirely on post-production synthesis. Without the assistance of Star Brain, what he did in the early stage would be in vain.Four months of hard work were all in vain, this is what Gu Jingchuan absolutely does not want to see.

The fat boss saw that Gu Jingchuan had stopped talking, and knew that he was short of money and didn't have that much money.He thought about it again, and said, "Actually, there is no way."

"Is there any way?" Gu Jingchuan asked seemingly calmly, but actually his heart felt as if he had been burned by flames.

"If you can't afford a brand new one, you can buy a second-hand one." As long as the rent reduction is not mentioned, the fat boss is very enthusiastic. "Young people nowadays know how to follow the trend, and they can't wait to change their personal terminals every three months, and the cycle of changing their toothbrushes." It's almost the same, even the astral brain is eager to use a new one every day, and refuses to keep the slightly outdated ones. Ordinary people are like this, and even professionals are not much better. Second-hand astral brains are everywhere. But no one is willing to buy, only willing to pursue new products, first-hand goods."

"It doesn't matter if they don't want to buy it, second-hand star brains will become cheaper. Go to a store that sells second-hand star brains, maybe you can find cheaper ones." The boss entered an address on Gu Jingchuan's personal terminal , "This is a shop opened by an acquaintance of mine. It is responsible for star brain maintenance and sells second-hand machines. You can go and have a try."

Gu Jingchuan looked at the address, and it was not far from the rental shop.He thanked the fat boss and walked towards the shop, intending to try his luck.
