Super Zoo

This film is a quick film, with a total shooting period of less than two months. The filming time in the zoo is at most three weeks, with ten animals acting. Su Ming can't make much money, even less than the venue fee.

"Director Wang, you are my idol, how can I ask you for such a small amount of money." Su Ming laughed, and his eyes drifted over Nangong Huang and Jiaoshou again.

Wang Jin is also a wonderful person. Seeing Su Ming's eyes, he immediately understood what he meant and slapped his thigh: "There is another thing I want to ask you for help. I am short of an executive deputy director and a male third. I wonder if Mr. Su can give up and lend me these two generals?"

Talking to smart people is easy, and there is no need to point it out. With a look and a word, both parties know it well. It is obvious that they are helping each other, and they also make the other party feel that they have accepted the other party's favor, and both parties are happy.

Nangong Huang is still mainly pursuing the actor route for the time being. He is familiar with movies through acting. Jiaoshou has experience in shooting online dramas. He will start directly as an assistant director and realize the transformation from online drama director to movie director as soon as possible.

Speaking of learning to shoot commercial movies, Su Ming really can't think of anyone more suitable than Wang Jin.

After the main matters of both parties were settled, they talked about some gossip about this big talk about the immortal.

The actors Wang Jin found surprised Su Ming. The heroine is AB and the hero is Zhao Youting. These two people don't look like they are acting in comedies. I can't understand what this fat man is thinking. Is he really going to shoot a love movie? Besides, how high is AB's salary.

The second male lead has some connection with Su Ming. Zhang Jiahui, who has always been a part-timer but has never appeared, plays Yan Chixia.

Seeing this configuration, Su Ming's head is full of black lines. A movie that is careless from director to actor.

When making a movie to Wang Jin's level, the idea is probably different from that of Su Ming, who is at the entry level, and is much more relaxed.

It can be seen from the meal that ordinary directors will definitely talk about business at the dinner table. After a few words of business, Director Wang really shifted his attention to the dishes and wine. He regarded this trip to Yangchuan for filming as more of a journey and a life experience.

"People can only live for a few decades. Whether it is life or work, just be happy." Wang Jin's mouth was full of oil. "Rare delicacy, Su Sheng, can I book a box here during the filming?"

"Of course, there are boxes on the second and third floors." Su Ming smiled and said, "But it's very expensive. Director Wang, do you have enough funds?"

"You have to spend money if you make money. If you encounter such delicious food, if you are reluctant to spend money, even if the crew doesn't say that I am stingy as a director, I will not be sorry for my stomach." Wang Jin said while patting his big belly.

Speaking of food, Su Ming suddenly thought of a Hong Kong movie a long time ago: Manchu Han Banquet. Starring Leslie Cheung, Anita Yuen and Kenny Bee.

"I have always been deeply impressed by Tsui Hark's films." Wang Jin pointed to a plate of crystal sweet and sour pork on the table with chopsticks.

Su Ming was going to ask Wang Jin if he was interested in reshooting. He had a ready-made beautiful chef. Reshooting a full banquet would be fine even if it didn't make money. Through the movie, the brand of Tingfeng Pavilion could be completely established. Maybe it could be used to expand the scale and enter the restaurant business.

After thinking about it, he swallowed the words back. The time is not right now. Besides, it is not necessary to find Wang Jin to shoot the movie.

...

After dinner, Su Ming accompanied Wang Jin to the back mountain to inspect the shooting area.

Wang Jin chose two scenic spots, Guyue Xianju and Lanruo Temple Hot Spring. He is a famous director who will be recognized wherever he goes. In order to avoid confusion, Su Ming found a special outfit for Lao Wang: the kind of bamboo hat worn by beekeepers, with gauze curtains hanging down around it, which can cover the face 360 ​​degrees without dead angles to avoid being seen.

Su Ming knew two people with the surname Wang, both of whom were fat, Wang Hao and Wang Jin. Wang Jin was fatter than Wang Hao. He was known as the Fat Mantis of Hong Kong back then. After putting on the bamboo hat, Nangong Huang chuckled, "Director Wang, you don't need to put on makeup to play Kung Fu Panda."

"The fans of Fat Mantis will be disappointed." Wang Jin said with a smile.

The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional. Nangong Huang's eyes lit up, and he pulled Su Ming and whispered, "Brother-in-law, now that you mention it, I remember that there is a Mantis Empire in the Pandaren version of the World of Warcraft game. We can definitely shoot it in the future!"

Of course, Su Ming has considered World of Warcraft since the day he prepared to make a movie! This online game has a terrifying fan base all over the world. After more than a dozen years, it can be said that it is a game that has grown up with a generation. Most of the races in it are animals. If you use animals to shoot a World of Warcraft, you will definitely make a fortune!

"I know there will be opportunities in the future." Su Ming nodded and smiled calmly.

Just like the Manchu-Han Banquet I just thought of, Su Ming, who has animal resources, has a huge natural advantage in the film industry, which is why he is determined to enter the film and television industry.

But you have to eat one bite at a time and take one step at a time. It is precisely because Warcraft is a super IP and an almost inexhaustible gold mine that you can't act rashly. If you force it to shoot when you are not capable in all aspects, it will only ruin this good subject.

When you can come up with 500 million to 1 billion Chinese yuan, and the film company has rich industry experience, it will not be too late to make a move.

The world is full of temptations. If you want to reach the peak in the distance, you must first take every step in front of you.

"Director Wang, please..." Su Ming gestured and led the way along the path towards Guyue Xianju.

Standing at the foot of the mountain, Wang Jin sighed. The hillside in front of him was simply a pastoral ink painting.

After the transformation, the hillside was opened up with staggered terraces. Outside the fields, there were many exquisitely crafted water wheels, which creaked and pumped water from the Shuijun Lake to irrigate the terraces. On the hillside, a waterway drawn from the Qinling Mountains gathered into a small waterfall, falling layer by layer along the mountain.

This terraced field was actually planted with crops, all of which were high-quality rice introduced by Su Ming from all over the country. The water for irrigating these rice mostly came from Shuijun Lake. Because there was a channel between the lake bottom and the Shuixie Lake, the water from Shuijun Lake was indirect Tai Sui water, which made the grain on the entire hillside grow well.

Small scarecrows can be seen everywhere in the fields. Many birds of various species are not afraid of scarecrows. Instead, they perch on the shoulders and heads of scarecrows and chirp and sing.

Some Luer people work hard in the fields wearing straw hats.

The total area of ​​the fields is not large, about 200 acres.

On the hillside of the terraced fields, a small village can be seen faintly in the shade of peach blossoms.

Of course, it is not people who live here, but fox fairies.

A series of stone paths pass through the terraced fields and lead to the fox fairy residence. On the path, there are many tourists, who stop from time to time to take pictures of the surrounding beauty.

"Wow, no wonder Brother Shi insisted on letting me come here to take pictures!" Wang Jin was almost stunned.
