acting substitution syndrome

Candy Video's "The Shameful Aladdin Magic Lamp" has a very simple follow-up calendar. Two episodes are updated every week. Members can watch two episodes in advance. Counting, a total of 12 episodes can be followed in more than a month.

There were originally 10 episodes, but Ma Ning insisted on filming 2 more episodes. With an investment of 80 yuan, each episode only cost [-] to [-] yuan. This ratio of investment and output really shocked many people.

At first, netizens only noticed some details. For example, one scene was a night scene, and a pair of white legs looked particularly white in the dark night.

The legs are straight and slender, white, smooth and slender, and the two or three seconds of the shot left netizens unsatisfied.

But it was soon picked up. The legs that netizens have fantasized about as beauties are actually... Robry's.

Robrey's patella has a little bit of a distinctive bump, and there are confirmations from the actors who walked the show at the time, so the topic of "the crew is so poor that they pull the leading actor out to play the group show" topped the hot search list.

Netizens below continued digging, and found that the crew's show operations were more than that.

Photos from the set were circulated, and the hair dryer in the barber shop was responsible for the look that made netizens want to die in the play. At the beginning, the crew could borrow high-power blowers, but later they directly replaced it with four hair dryers.

It seems that the budget is not enough.

Well, then another anonymous netizen broke the news on Zhihu, saying that the seemingly high-end furniture of the magic lamp crew was contributed by himself, and he hung 20000 yuan on the salted fish, and finally a young lady from the crew came, Weeping and haggling the price, the last 4000 yuan was packaged and sold.

There are also group performers who shared the big pot rice and cabbage roll pancakes that they barely got on with the crew. The director finally couldn't bear it in the summer, and bought two beers to send condolences to the crew. That day seemed to be the atmosphere of Chinese New Year .

It seems that not only Robry, but all the cast and crew of Xiaopo Group have been tortured by this poor crew. Once this grievance has a way to vent, it will explode like hell.

"How much money does the director of "The Magic Lamp" save?" This trending search has been hanging up for three days. I thought that Ma Ning, who was silently watching the screen, would feel ashamed, but——

Ma Ning's phone calls were rang off by many bosses and producers of small and medium-sized film companies.

With so many people calling, there were only two central questions. The first was whether Ma Ning really had a total investment of only 80 yuan, and the second was what happened to the special effects in the play.

Because that special effect is definitely not something that can be produced with tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands.

Insiders are all human beings.

What can Ma Ning say, the plaster cast on his arm has not been removed yet.

Immediately, the boss wanted to sign a film agreement with him: "I'll give you 300 million, and I'll make a blockbuster movie worth 3000 million!"

Ma Ning: "..."

This is because none of the 206 bones in my body are intact.

The choice of a producer is very simple. Among directors of the same level, choose the one that saves the most money.

Ma Ning is undoubtedly the most cost-effective director.

What's more, the magic lamp seems to be out of tune, but the number of hits is actually ranked No.10 in the candy video views and search list. Occasionally, it is hit, but it can slowly climb up in places where people can't see it. .

When the show reached the fourth episode, the advertiser actually contacted and asked to add a subtitle advertisement at the bottom of the screen.

On the afternoon of the afternoon when the person in charge of Candy Video got the advertisement, he heard another inside news that Robrie was the champion of "Actor", and the program team who revealed the news emphasized four words.

No controversy.

The undisputed champion.

The person in charge thought for a second, then waved his hand: "Put the magic lamp show in a prominent place on the main screen of the app, and search the search engine for all-day and time-segmented search reminders."

Shanghai, the crew of "A Little Home".

"Fatty, you don't look right," Robery pointed at the camera and said, "You should be happy and angry when you face me. Why are you only angry and not happy? Come on, take another shot."

Zhang Yingying, who was called 'Fatty', blushed.

Not shy, but angry.

"What's going on, Fatty, look at your face, it turned red and gained a lot of weight," Robery said with a frown, "How can I describe it to you, it's like Beijing's burnt circle has been put into a frying pan."

Robbie made a gesture: "...it swelled with a bang."

The assistant director over there, who used a camera to shoot the behind-the-scenes footage, laughed a little: "Fatty, what people said is right, you seem to have gained a lot of weight when you get angry."

Zhang Yingying: "..."

Goddamn Robbie, the crew gave her this nickname in the past few days, and now everyone on the crew is familiar with this name, and they even call her 'Fatty'.

To tell the truth, Zhang Yingying, let alone her debut, has never experienced this kind of anger since she was born. It's strange to say that she has a sharp tongue and sharp teeth. When she meets other actors, no matter how good she is, she still has the upper hand. Only Rob inside--

Not only was she unable to pinch, but she was also pinched.

Today Robli had few scenes, and sat on a chair waiting to call it a day. However, when he opened his mouth and was about to see Duke Zhou, a call came from an unfamiliar number.

"Hello?" Robbie said.

"Excuse me, is this Mr. Robli?" A nasal voice came, a little nervous: "Let me introduce myself, my name is He Xiangdong, I'm asking Mr. Xia Zhongsheng for your phone number..."

Robli hummed twice, but he still hadn't woken up from his drowsiness. When he hung up the phone, he didn't hear what the other party said clearly, but he heard the last sentence clearly, saying that he would invite him to dinner at Wang Baohe.

No matter what to do, eat No.1.

Robli strolled into Wang Baohe's box. At first glance, he didn't look at people. He looked at the food on the table first. He looked at steamed dumplings with crab noodles, spring rolls with crab noodles, and lion heads with crab noodles. My heart is full of joy.

Looking at the people waiting at the table, even though they are thin and thin like a stick, they must have a big heart like a man in Beijing.

"It's Mr. Robli, isn't it?" He Xiangdong saw a man with his head wrapped like the second uncle of Beijing crawling in. When he took off the scarf, he revealed a flushed face, which was very gorgeous, even more beautiful than the one in the shrimp bag. The red shrimp is still red.

He Xiangdong involuntarily stared at him for several times, feeling a little cramped now, but after he blinked, a feeling of frustration surged up again.

This person is very star-like, how can he play his own role?

Teacher Xia, did you introduce the wrong person?

He began to wonder if he hadn't made it clear when he called that he wanted an actor who was good at the animal simulation genre.

Rubri rubbed his hands, the corner of his mouth sucked three times: "...can you eat it?"

He Xiangdong was also embarrassed when he saw it, "Eat it, eat it."

Robli performed a magic trick of 'how the steamed stuffed bun disappear' for him on the spot, and he saw him stuff a small Nanfeng steamed steamed stuffed bun into his mouth with a chopstick. He barely saw how he was chewing, and his mouth was already open waiting for the second steamed stuffed bun. entered.

"What did you say on the phone?" Robery was still able to speak while eating: "It's no problem to lack a special actor, what role?"

"Aliens," He Xiangdong murmured, "but now I want to introduce you to other crews, they lack a glutton."

Robry: "...As for?"

He Xiangdong sighed, watching Luo Buli eating deliciously, for a moment, the sadness in his heart was melted by the steaming food and the people who ate hard.

"I'm an independent filmmaker," he said, "Do you know what an independent filmmaker is?"

People who write their own scripts, direct themselves, and even distribute their own films.

He Xiangdong is a very miserable person. Let's put it this way, the god of fate has never favored him, and he has never touched the tail of opportunity.

Since the third year of high school, he dropped out of school with a dream of filming. He applied for a Xiying training school at his own expense, and later went to the Beijing Film Academy, but failed three times. Later, he heard that Nortel recruited an auditor class. Got in.

But how could this kind of audition class be compared to the students of the directing department and the photography department of Zheng'er Bajing, and the semester was only one year. After he came out, he wandered around in several crews and made a living by shooting commercials.

The point is that his commercials were not shot very well.

But none of these defeated He Xiangdong. He painstakingly polished a script and wanted to prepare for filming. It was a script that he spent 12 years writing, and he always had great hopes.

This script is really good, and was even selected by the Shanghai Film Festival to participate in the venture capital meeting.

In front of Gu Huanzhong and other film company bosses, he talked about his script and creative ideas with great emotion. He thought that he had finally seen the light after persisting for so many years, but he didn't expect...

He was passed in the first round.

"What did Mr. Gu say?" Without raising his head, Luo Li grabbed another lion's head.

"Mr. Gu asked about my budget, and I said... [-] million," He Xiangdong said bitterly, "He smiled and didn't say anything."

Robbie smiled too.

"You, your smile is exactly the same as Mr. Gu." He Xiangdong felt like being pricked by a needle: "What do you mean?"

"At any rate, I'm a member of the industry, and I know a little bit about the front and back of the stage," Robery said with a smile, "Movies with an investment of 7.5 million yuan are not uncommon in the era of blockbuster movies. Some directors even made movies with an investment of [-] million yuan." What about movies, but who are they? They are big directors, and they have such a great reputation that it doesn’t matter if a movie is not well-received or popular. They invest in the next movie."

But you, who is directing a movie for the first time, how dare you ask for a budget of 1 million?

What are you shooting, gold?

People who are filming for the first time should be like Ma Ning, just tell a story cleanly and decisively, and don’t pursue big scenes, big scheduling, advanced mirroring, or star participation, they are all pitfalls.

Look at Ma Ning, with a total budget of 80 yuan, adding 0 may not necessarily invite a second-tier star, but he told a story in a down-to-earth manner. The cause and effect are clearly explained, and the core is really grasped.

You can see that he has paid back the cost now. For the 80 drama, Robli called him before he came, and they announced that the number of hits on the magic lamp exceeded 500 million, and he can get another 25.

This is the process that a first-time director should go through.
