Chapter 0006: Filming Plan

Lu Qian hopes that this film project can continue, both for the sake of narration and for himself

Jixu widened his eyes, remaining silent for a long time. He secretly glanced at Lu Qian several times through the rearview mirror, and slowly managed to squeeze out a sentence, "Ah Qian, I never knew you were so scheming. Just a reminder, I must not offend you."

Commence directing work

The sound of the heart striking against the chest has become more real

Following the threads of memory, Lu Qian slowly began to recall.

Lu Qian turned to Ji Xu and asked, "What do you think of me?"

"What a load of nonsense!" Lu Qian immediately scolded without hesitation.

Lu Qian rolled his eyes in silence

up to this moment

Ah, look, look, the goosebumps on my arm have all risen!" Ji Xu exaggeratedly pointed at his right hand, shouting in a flustered manner, his expression animatedly engaging all his facial features, leading one to strongly suspect whether there was a misalignment in the position of his features

You should stay in the company, like an undercover agent, secretly utilizing the company's resources to pave the way for your own career, and then bring us along to open up new opportunities together. This is the correct approach, is it not

Currently, everyone is in a standby state, and we are preparing to audition several directors to see who is willing to take over

In front of his friends, Ji Xu did not hold back and spoke honestly, but considering Lu Qian and his friends' investment, Ji Xu inevitably felt a bit ashamed

The project created collaboratively by Jixu and a group of friends aims to enter the talent program of Liuguang Film Industry

However, variables suddenly arise

A sudden storm of wind and rain struck fiercely, leaving Ji Xu dizzy and unable to utter a single sound

Particularly regarding Tan Xiao's situation, does she still have a backup plan? Is there still room for change in the matter? Additionally, does he have evidence to prove his innocence?

He could sense the intricate complexities behind the understated words of the narrative, and language could not accurately convey his feelings. He did not know how to describe it, but gradually, it seemed as though he had somewhat integrated into the "role," as if he could genuinely feel the emotional bonds of this soul within its physical form.

Do you remember that director from before

In the initial investment phase, all core members of the crew generously offered their assistance without hesitation. Ji Xu even mortgaged the house he inherited from his parents at the bank; Lu Qian similarly drained his savings to provide sponsorship, hoping that the film project could be successfully completed

If a film project is abruptly halted, the financial loss is one blow, while the dissipating energy and expectations represent another blow

Currently in a state of suspension

This is undoubtedly the case, but how should one begin

For Liuguang Film Industry, they can cultivate film talents that belong to their own system; for filmmakers, it provides an opportunity for exposure

Liuguang Film Industry has established a talent program that provides a scholarship each year to encourage independent filmmakers to submit their works to Liuguang Film Industry. They will evaluate and select, ultimately choosing three to five works. Winning the scholarship is one aspect, but the emphasis is still on the opportunity for showcasing the works

Wait a moment

A shortage of manpower is a minor issue; if no one else is busy, one can manage it personally. However, a shortage of funds is a significant problem; once the money runs out, operations can only come to a halt.

Has the project you are preparing started?

Oh dear, do not be too moved. I know I am quite remarkable. Do not look at me with that kind of gaze; I did not resign for your sake. In fact, I have long since wanted to leave...

The resignation of Ji Xu is likely to make it very difficult for their works to enter the talent program of Guangliang Film Industry, as the entire plan has been disrupted, casting a shadow over the future

Lu Qian was organizing his thoughts when he unexpectedly seized upon an idea, and suddenly everything became clear before him, causing the words to spill out.

When a film appears on the big screen, people's attention may be entirely focused on the actors, perhaps expressing some admiration for the director's contribution, yet very few realize that behind every work is a large team working together to accomplish this task, which is by no means simple

For those blockbuster films that require investments of one billion or one and a half billion, an investment of three hundred thousand is merely a drop in the bucket, and may not even cover a day's operational costs for the crew; however, for individuals like Ji Xu and his peers, who are utterly destitute and unknown, this amount represents their entire fortune

The narrative film project has no direct relationship with Liuguang Film Industry, but there is an indirect connection.

We worked for two months, and just one week before we were about to start filming, this artist felt that our concepts were too conflicting and directly abandoned the project, leaving our entire crew in a standstill

No

Splash

To be honest, Lu Qian is still adapting to the role

Submitting a resignation in such an impulsive manner, do you still think you are in a teenage coming-of-age movie

Shouldn't he clarify his situation first

In just a short morning, a series of events have already occurred, and my mind is filled with scattered memories, yet the sense of immersion is not particularly strong

So far, the initial investment in the film has exceeded 300,000

I see, from the concise description, it can be inferred that the overall progress of the project is not satisfactory, and the vividly described rolling eyes also attest to this.

From the conception of ideas to the project framework, from scriptwriting to seeking investment, from assembling the crew to auditioning actors, everything starts from scratch. The tasks at hand resemble a small mountain. Although Lu Qian has already set the goal, the immediate priority is...

Purchasing equipment, renting venues, auditioning actors, fitting costumes, assembling the filming team, and so on; outsiders may not be aware that before a film officially begins shooting, there are countless trivial matters in the pre-production phase that often require a significant amount of time and effort

Idiot

In the familiar realm of his own time and space, Lu Qian prepared the funds to complete the filming of a short film. The experiences of seeking help from his grandfather and grandmother are still vivid in his memory, and he can deeply appreciate the difficulties and hardships involved in advancing a film project

This feeling is akin to that of a role-playing game; although he has donned a custom-made costume, he remains essentially himself and is unable to fully embody the character.

Especially for those small production teams

In narrative, a producer, who is both the closest partner of the director and the most hated adversary, has been preparing for his first film project

Splash

The preparation for the film project has been underway for several months

Then Jixu thickened his skin and chuckled, "So what now? What should we do now?"

I have mentioned to you that he has some ideas and creativity, but he is unable to organize them clearly. The overall framework of his thoughts is not sufficiently clear; he comes up with ideas as they come to him, which can occasionally be stunning, but at times it is also exceedingly chaotic

You should obediently leave now, without even severance pay. Perhaps Liuguang Film Industry is still contemplating how to resolve your situation, and yet you chose to resign on your own? Aren't you just helping them solve their problem!

Ji Xu seemed to notice Lu Qian's gaze, feeling slightly restrained. He cleared his throat softly a couple of times, raised his chin high, and began to exaggerate his self-praise.

Liuguang Film Industry will either submit the works to film festivals for competition or screen them in a limited release in cinemas based on the type and style of the作品
