prodigal director

Chapter 75 Returning Soul Night

On-set experience, this is the second time Hao Huan has experienced the on-set shooting process of an unlocked movie.

When he first unlocked "Saw", he also experienced the filming process of "Saw" on the set, and thus learned a lot of valuable shooting and directing experience.

At that time, the system also had a reminder that you can substitute the director's perspective and experience the entire filming process from the director's first perspective.

It's a pity that Hao Huan had no money at that time, and he was not willing to spend so much money to enter the director's perspective.

Now, the system prompts again:

"Substitute into the director's perspective, and you need to spend 500 prodigal points every minute!"

"Do you want to unlock the director's perspective?"

Hao Huan's mind began to struggle.

According to the system's introduction to the movie "Happy Ghost", the filming time is 30 days.

If you shoot for 10 hours a day, then 30 days is equivalent to 300 hours.

There are a total of 60 minutes per hour, and 300 hours is equivalent to 18000 minutes.

18000 minutes multiplied by 500 prodigal value, which is equal to 900 million prodigal value!

hiss……

This directorial perspective is not cheap!

Hao Huan was reluctant, and at the same time he was a little curious, why "Saw" unlocked the director's perspective at 1000 prodigal points per minute, while "Happy Ghost" was at 500 prodigal points per minute?
Is it because of the length of filming?Or is it because the director of "Happy Ghost" is a level behind the director of "Saw"?
"Forget it, don't unlock it!"

"no!"

Hao Huan did not choose to take the director's perspective. After all, the prodigal value of 900 million is enough to start 4 director training camps.

So he still decided to save a fortune, after all, he didn't know if other things would come out of the system to steal a fortune, so that if the fortune was spent, he would have to find a loan from the system again.

After entering the filming set of "Happy Ghost", Hao Huan looked around and murmured to himself in doubt: "Why does this feel like a movie made in the 80s?"

The people and clothes at the scene all gave off the atmosphere of the 80s!

Of course, the costumes don't prove a decade, as this could be a movie set in the 80's too!

However, the shooting equipment on the set exposed this era!

Although this is another world, by unlocking the two movies for analysis and judgment, Hao Huan can determine that the background of this so-called parallel world is actually similar to the world he lives in, except that other places are different except for the background of the world. That’s all.

for example.

Hao Huan thinks that the parallel world is just like him and a mirror. No, he should use a funny mirror as an example here.

In other words, he standing in front of the distorting mirror represents the world he lives in, while he in the distorting mirror represents the parallel world.

The essence of the two is the same, but he in the distorting mirror has been demonized into another appearance. This is his understanding of the parallel world.

Therefore, the 80s in the real world should be similar to the 80s in the parallel world.

Thinking about it this way, Hao Huan knew why the production cost of the movie "Happy Ghost" was so low!

170 million yuan, in the 80s, that is, 30 years ago, that is not a small amount of money!

Comparing the current prices, it is at least equivalent to more than 1000 million yuan now, right?

So, it’s not really a low-budget movie!
However, in the 80s, it could have a box office of 1500 million yuan, which shows that this movie is really awesome.

Assuming that the 80s in this parallel world is similar to the world he lives in, then what is the concept of the 80s?
In those days, there weren’t many movie theaters!
And in that era, when movies were released, troops were organized to go to the countryside and towns, and they pulled a piece of cloth to project in a dark open space, or went to the school, closed the doors and windows, and projected directly on the white and gray walls.

Although Hao Huan has never experienced that era, when he was in college, he still has a deep memory of his knowledge of the origin and development of movies.

The point is that movie tickets in that era were very cheap. Tickets for movie screenings in the countryside and towns ranged from [-] cents. In many cases, the state even arranged for free screenings in towns and villages.

Therefore, at that time, a movie could earn 1500 million yuan at the box office, which was really scary.

Experiencing the filming process of "Happy Ghost" on the spot, Hao Huan really verified that his judgment was correct.

This is indeed an 80's set!
The shooting equipment is not advanced, and the level of the director is not outstanding, but some ideas of the other party's director are quite unique and interesting.

This is where humans are smart!

The environment cannot change people, only people can change the environment.

Therefore, when the shooting conditions were very poor, the crew of "Happy Ghost" came up with many unique ideas to make up for it.

Hao Huan watched from the side, time passed quickly, and the experience on the set did not have a normal day and night cycle, and there was no rest. In Hao Huan's eyes, the whole process was filming.

It means that the system has deleted all irrelevant time links!

So, Hao Huan didn't know how many days he had experienced on this set.

However, he didn't care about the set experience time, and now he discovered a particularly important problem.

This movie called "Happy Ghost" doesn't seem to be a suspense movie or a thriller movie, but a comedy movie!
He is sure!

100% sure!

Although the story revolves around a talented ghost in the Qing Dynasty, through the experience on set during this period, apart from the episode where the ghost appeared in the post-production may bring a little horror to the audience, Hao Huan found out that It's all about being funny.

So, he made sure it was a comedy movie!
At this moment, he was a little puzzled.

Isn't the prodigal director system tailor-made according to my dreams and movie hobbies?
In the unlocking mall of the entire system, there are all suspense and thriller movies, why is there a comedy movie mixed in now?
Or is this also a loophole in the movie?
Because the word "ghost" is included in the movie, the system thinks it is also a horror movie, so it is included in the movie mall?

After thinking about it, Hao Huan was not too curious, but too confused. He continued to observe the filming process of "Happy Ghost".

It seems like a long time has passed...

Hao Huan is still watching the filming of "Happy Ghost" seriously. What makes him admire is that this movie may be to save the cost of special effects, or they can't make the heroine fly in the swimming pool like a flying fish. The special effect of swimming and sprinting, so the actress was pulled by a steel wire, and moved quickly on the water surface of the swimming pool, just like a motorboat driving on the water surface, which was a bit ridiculously fast.

But this also shows that the former actors, that is really not easy!

It's not like the current star actors, all of them are delicate and expensive!It's like a young star who accidentally cut his finger while filming an idol drama and let out bursts of gasping sounds. The director was so frightened that he immediately stopped filming and rushed him to the hospital against the clock.

This incident was also on the hot search at the time.

Hao Huan replied very contemptuously at that time: "Fortunately, the crew of the crew sent it to the hospital in time, otherwise, it would be 5 minutes later, and the wound would have healed by itself!"

And this is also the beginning of Hao Huan's fame.

Of course, the reason for his fame is also inseparable from the fact that his father is Hao Fu.

……

Continuing to watch the filming of "Happy Ghost", Hao Huan found more and more things he wanted to complain about.

One is that the plot is really a bit mindless, but many comedy movies like nonsensical and abnormal plots.

But the current audience is too picky about movies. Hao Huan dares to say that if the movie "Happy Ghost" is filmed and released according to the original plot, it will definitely attract the ridicule and abuse of countless trolls.

For example, in the previous heroine’s flying swimming scene, others swam for a minute or two to reach the finish line, but she rushed to the finish line in less than 2 seconds, and then the students were cheering and shouting, without feeling like a ghost .

In addition, there are sports stories such as long jump. Every time, the heroine wins No. 1 with the help of Xiucaigui, breaking sports records that are simply impossible for humans to achieve.

That's why Hao Huan thinks that this movie is not suitable for him, nor is it suitable for the current movie market.

And he didn't intend to adapt this movie either.Because the adaptation is too difficult, and the movie itself has such a nonsensical comedy style, the adaptation is tantamount to recreating a script.

But this experience with Hao Huan on the set was not without its rewards. The directors in the 80s may not have been as professional in filmmaking as the well-known directors today, but they still had many clever shooting techniques that could be learned from them.

More or less, it can also enrich his directing experience.

Soon, the set experience of "Happy Ghost" will come to an end.

Overall, the movie is okay, after all, it was a movie produced in the 80s.But Hao Huan wasn't very interested in the movie's subject matter and style, and it couldn't give him the thrilling feeling he liked.

In terms of humor, there should be no shortage of this movie. If it is released during the Spring Festival, it will indeed cater to the market.

But Hao Huan knew that the box office limit of the movie "Happy Ghost" was not high. Even if a remake based on the original work could make money, the box office would not be much higher.

If the plot of the original work is overthrown and a major adaptation is made on the original setting, then he will not even consider this movie, but will consider creating an original movie story that truly belongs to him.

Of course, he knows that his current screenwriting ability is limited, so he still has to use the system to unlock a movie to learn and upgrade.When he gets out of the system and can make movies with a box office of billions, then he can graduate from the system.

Before I knew it, the movie had been completed.

"The set experience of "Happy Ghost" is over!"

Hao Huan woke up as the system beeped.

When I looked up, it was very dark.

Starry night sky.

The street lights in the back garden were on. Hao Huan looked at the sheet covering his body. It must have been covered by his aunt for fear of catching a cold.

I looked at my watch and saw that I only slept for an hour and a half.

This experience was quite fast!
He called up the system interface in his mind.

He continued to scan the movie mall for suspenseful and thrilling movies, and then saw the name of a movie in the vast sea of ​​movies.

"Return to Soul Night? It's also a ghost movie, I hope this movie will be more suitable for me!"
