After The Vicious Cannon Fodder Was Reborn - Chapter 177

[Chapter 176]

There is an old saying that ten years of work off stage, one minute on stage. It is used to describe the need for an actor to persist and hone for a long time in order to win the audience’s full house in the few minutes of playing.

Tao Mu took over the drama “Black and White”, although it took ten years to prepare, but a few months of targeted training, coupled with ten years of martial arts skills, gave full play to this moment.

Because this one is going to be a one-man show of Zhou Yuanting’s gunfight at the dock, which lasts about 40 seconds. Director Xu originally wanted to shoot according to the conventional method, that is, to use various close-up shots to highlight Zhou Yuanting’s combat effectiveness.

However, after Tao Mu showed amazing action talent, Director Xu’s mind changed. He wanted to change the previous shooting method and use a long lens with one shot to the end. Try to let the audience feel that kind of hearty, refreshing pleasure to the peak.

Director Xu’s idea is cool. However, the one-shot shooting method has very high requirements on Tao Mu. There are also scene scheduling and group performance coordination. All require great cooperation.

It took more than half an hour for the rehearsal to take place just before the shooting started. Fortunately, the summer is long, and Tao Mu still has a few hours to shoot.

The scene to be filmed is that Zhou Yuanting follows the gangster and prepares to smuggle to Southeast Asia. As a result, on the dock, the gangsters received news that their group was surrounded and suppressed by the police. The two sides had to fight at the pier as a last resort. The various large containers on the dock are the best shelter.

Tao Mu needs to complete the fighting tasks under the camera mainly to hide in the dock immediately when the police are found, and use various large containers as bunkers to snipe the police.

Director Xu directed the camera to face Tao Mu, and followed Tao Mu’s various tactical movements, advancing the camera for close-ups from time to time, and then pulling the camera back to take a close-up of Tao Mu’s whole body.

In the camera, Tao Mu held a Glock 17, hid behind the container with a blank expression, and shot the policeman in the head.

The sound of gunfire caught the attention of other officers. He quickly followed the sound and shot in the direction of Zhou Yuanting. Zhou Yuanting flipped onto the container with a blank face – his movements were very standard, and he looked like a runner. Then he held guns in both hands on the container, and sniped several police officers condescendingly. After a few shots, the team was wiped out.

Zhou Yuanting jumped out of the container, rolled over to relieve the pressure, raised his right hand when he knelt on one knee, and quickly hit the two special police officers who came to help. Pick up your SWAT rifle gear and spare magazines. Then hide behind another container.

What followed was a series of adrenaline-pumping textbook-level individual combat performances. All tactical actions are very standard and very handsome, from bursts to bursts to pressing guns to changing magazines with one hand, dodging with guns, looking for bunkers, all kinds of running, jumping and jumping movements are neat and neat, and the most important thing is No matter what Tao Mu did, his arm holding the gun was as steady as a dog, as if he couldn’t feel the strong recoil of the gun at all.

The instructors who were standing on the side couldn’t help shaking their heads and sighed, thinking that even if Tao Mu was not an actor one day and changed career as a police officer, there is at least a half chance of joining the Flying Tigers.

Director Xu, who was sitting in front of the monitor, also saw a surge of adrenaline. Perfectionism strikes again. After several NGs in a row, I am going to choose the best one to cut into the later stage. It is even prepared to invite the music production team to create a passionate soundtrack for this scene that echoes the style of the painting.

But these thoughts have nothing to do with Tao Mu. When Director Xu actually shouted “pass”, Tao Mu only felt that his shoulders were already numb.

In order to achieve a realistic effect, the “Black and White” crew used real guns when shooting the shooting environment, but the bullets had no warheads, and only sparks and sounds came out. Even though Tao Mu had been training at the police academy with a group of police officers for several months, he was not a real police officer after all. Without special training, this thin-skinned and tender-looking person can’t stand the shot too many times!

“Hey, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts.” Tao Mu frowned and cried out in pain, a bottle of Jieda wine was sent by a martial artist who got along well with Tao Mu, while massaging his shoulders, Tao Mu laughed and teased himself: “This afternoon I was shot with a gun, and my kidneys are almost empty.”

Everyone burst into laughter when they heard this, and Director Xu walked over with a blushing face. He wanted to pat Tao Mu on the shoulder to show encouragement, but when he looked at Tao Mu’s swollen arm, he didn’t dare to do it. I can only praise it verbally: “It’s a great performance. Then you can rest for a few days.” The

shooting at the dock is the final climax of the film, and it is also the most grand scene in the entire film. After all, the protagonists are Yan Sheng and Zhou Yanqing. Tao Mu doesn’t have many supporting roles, so he can rest for a few days after filming. Then I waited for a supplementary shot of Zhou Yuanting and the gangster leaving by boat. The whole crew was killed.

Although Yan Sheng and Zhou Yanqing’s acting skills are good, they are not from martial arts after all. In this film, there are many shooting scenes that require actors to come forward. Director Xu strives for perfection, plus the scheduling of group performances. It is estimated that this scene will take at least two or three days to shoot.

In other words, Tao Mu can rest for two to three days. Not for the crew.

This is definitely good news.

Tao Mu just happened to be able to take his Yao dad, Xiao Qi dad, and Old Man Song to visit Xiangcheng.

——That’s right, Liu Yao and the others flew to Xiangcheng to celebrate Tao Mu’s birthday, and they haven’t been back since.

Originally, Liu Yao was thinking about Yeshi’s business and wanted to go back after Tao Mu’s birthday. As a result, Meng Qi inadvertently met a certain leader of Xiangcheng TV while eating. When the two were chatting, they inadvertently sighed about the current situation of Xiangcheng film and television dramas-basically, they were applauded and unpopular. The other party mentioned that TV dramas filmed by TV stations can only be broadcast a few times before pressing the bottom of the box, unlike video websites that can be broadcast repeatedly. In addition, many video websites in the mainland do not pay attention to copyright at all, and directly put all kinds of pirated discs. There are many Xiangcheng movies and TV series that are popular in the mainland, but Xiangcheng has no income at all.

He does not mean that. Tao Mu handed over the management of Feixun.com and Danmuan.com to Meng Qi. In order to live up to the trust of his own cubs, Meng Qi has been thinking about how to develop these two websites. The most old-fashioned and easiest way he thought of was to buy the broadcasting rights of various classic TV series, so as to attract netizens to watch and cultivate netizens’ stickiness. Then use the method of interstitial advertisements to make profits and maintain the normal operation of the website.

Before that, Tao Mu had already come forward and signed a round of agreements with mainland film and television companies and TV stations for the rights to broadcast the film. The classic works in the mainland have basically been swept away by the bullet screen network. Now that he is in Xiangcheng, Meng Qi plans to use this opportunity to get in touch with Xiangcheng TV and several film and television companies. See if you can get the rights to some Xiangcheng TV series and movies. At that time, Xiangcheng can get some profits, and the bullet screen network can also enrich the film source.

The two sides hit it off. In the next few days, Meng Qi stayed in Xiangcheng and kept discussing the specific matters of cooperation. He also recruited Feixun.com’s investment promotion department and purchasing department staff.

After more than a week of negotiation, the two parties finally decided that Danmu Network invested 30 million to purchase the five-year broadcasting rights of all the TV series of Xiangcheng TV, and invested 50 million to cooperate with several other film and television companies to purchase five Years of film broadcasting rights. However, most of the sources are from before 2004.

When Tao Mu got the news, he was dumbfounded. On the one hand, he admired Meng Qi’s negotiating skills, and he was able to keep the price so low. On the other hand, I have to thank this era that has not yet entered inflation. Money is still valuable. Of course, thanks to the economic crisis in 2008, the entire Xiangcheng economy was affected.

The economic downturn, coupled with the mainland’s restrictions on Xiangcheng film and television dramas, made life difficult for TV stations and film and television companies. Everyone wants to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, but among the Internet companies in the mainland—to be precise, video websites, there is a demand and the strength to negotiate with Xiangcheng TV and major film and television companies about cooperation in the broadcasting rights of film sources, but only Danmue.com is the only one.

Either don’t agree to Danmuwang’s proposal, and endure the huge amount of money that mainland pirates make from pirated DVDs, but they can’t even make a penny. Either agree to the cooperation proposal of Danmu.com.

When the buyer has an absolute advantage and the right to speak, Xiangcheng TV and several film and television companies are not satisfied with this condition. But there is nothing to be done.

“It’s good to make money. That is to say, we are kind, insist on genuine, and encourage genuine. Many video sites and small social platforms simply upload pirated DVDs to gain popularity. You have to put up with those pirated websites trying to rob us of registered users. If you sue them for this, it’s really not a crime.”

So they have to spend money and have to put up with others violating their rights. Another way to think about it is to spend 80 million to find Qi. This is Tao Mu, their little brat. With another person, Liu Yao can only be described as an idiot.

I still remember Brother Yao back then, he was also a man who had secretly opened the video room to give his younger brothers insight.

Because of the relationship between the times and limited resources, Liu Yaomengqi’s generation has watched all kinds of pirated discs and pirated books since childhood. They have no so-called genuine consciousness at all. That is, Tao Mu, a reborn person, insisted on doing a good job in copyright, otherwise Meng Qi would definitely be able to play pirated discs to attract traffic.

Tao Mu smiled and hugged his Xiao Qi’s father, while attentive to his Xiao Qi’s father, patted his horse and pinched his shoulders, and praised his Xiao Qi’s father’s genuine awareness.

“Don’t mess with me.” Meng Qi didn’t ignore Tao Mu’s handicapped image as he walked in the door: “What’s the matter with you, you’re disabled when filming?

” In the afternoon, my shoulders were swollen. It’s good to rest for two days.” Tao Mu said, and slowly moved his shoulders: “Look, nothing at all.”

Liu Yao snorted, got up and walked forward, He patted Tao Mu on the shoulder: “Come here, I’ll press it for you.”

Tao Mu froze all over, and said in a particularly embarrassed way: “Isn’t it necessary?”

“Stop talking nonsense.” Press Tao Mu on the sofa. It was followed by a horrific howl like killing a pig.

But his daddy’s craftsmanship is still pretty good. After pressing the button, Tao Mu was indeed much more relaxed. When I woke up the next morning, my shoulder pain was completely gone.

Tao Mu had three days to rest, and Meng Qi’s work was just finished. The family of four enjoyed themselves happily. Accompanied by the driver, Li Xiaoxiang, they spent three full days in Xiangcheng. The five big men also went to Disney for a day. Staring at the tourist’s various looks and play is particularly moisturizing.

On the fourth day, Tao Mu returned to the crew again, and after re-shooting the scene of the gangster who escaped with Zhou Yanqing, the play was officially completed.
