Chapter 88 Simple
Even if it's not an investment, but just a sponsorship, this amount of money is negligible for a company like GM!
The difficulty in filming large-scale scenes lies in the coordination; the requirements for other aspects, such as acting skills, are not too high.
After finishing filming a charity gala, Wang Xiaohao turned back to film other scenes.
After this period of contact, even Yuehai Company had to admit that they had underestimated Wang Xiaohao.
They secretly began to extend an olive branch to Wang Xiaohao, trying to recruit him.
Don't find it strange. Given how strained the relationship between Wang Xiaohao and Yuehai Company is, how could Yuehai Company possibly lower itself to try and win Wang Xiaohao over?
Every company has factions, and the larger the company, the more factions there are, and the more intense the internal strife.
One faction that had a bad relationship with Wang Xiaohao is now trying to win him over; the other faction is simply trying to win him over.
Wang Xiaohao has gone mad, that's why he's gone back to working for others to earn money!
It's not that Wang Xiaohao's filming methods are anything special, nor that his directing skills are particularly brilliant.
Wang Xiaohao's filmmaking techniques can be described as methodical and steady.
Whether it's "My Sassy Girl," "Beautiful Legend," or this current "My Love from the Star," none of them have any particularly eye-catching filming techniques or cinematic language.
Unlike the brilliant directors of the past, such as Jiang Wen, Ning Hao, and Bi Gan, who come out with sophisticated tricks and make a dazzling impression.
Even when Wang Xiaohao directs an art film like "Beautiful Legend," he does it in a very conventional way.
But Wang Xiaohao's greatest strength is his ability to manage the film crew!
His crew had at least one-tenth fewer staff than crews of similar size!
However, his film crew still ran very smoothly, and it could be said that everything was in good order.
That's Wang Xiaohao's ability!
The less people use, the more money you save.
A film crew consists of a lot of people!
Large production crews can have thousands, even tens of thousands of people.
Even small film crews often have hundreds of people.
The question is, does a film crew really need that many people?
You know what, there are many times when there are too many useless people attached to film crews!
The entertainment industry is a small world!
Since it's a circle, it needs to be maintained by human relationships.
People in this circle all have connections to some extent.
People come to your film crew saying they want to learn or get a job, are you really going to refuse them?
Therefore, in many cases, it is unavoidable for the crew to be overcrowded.
For example, if you need to bring several assistants for a prop, and one or two of them are complete novices, can you refuse to let them lead the project?
In other words, Wang Xiaohao wasn't very familiar with people in the industry, and since he put together his own production team, he didn't have many people affiliated with him!
In short, a film crew often has a large number of irrelevant and redundant personnel.
Even Wang Xiaohao's film crew was no exception.
However, there were relatively few irrelevant people in Wang Xiaohao's crew!
Furthermore, Wang Xiaohao was an engineering student in his previous life and has an engineering mindset. Zhao Liang also studied project management.
He and Zhao Liang established a very strict filming process, and all the core members of the crew were signed to his own company, all of whom were familiar and experienced.
So things went very smoothly within his production team.
This time, it was just a collaboration with a few large companies, and Wang Xiaohao turned a blind eye, not managing the redundant staff in the production crew too strictly.
Otherwise, Wang Xiaohao even has the ability to reduce the current crew size by another 10% to 20%!
However, since it wasn't his own money being spent, Wang Xiaohao turned a blind eye and let it go.
However, in the eyes of the people at Yuehai Company, Wang Xiaohao's ability to manage the film crew was quite remarkable.
They admired him greatly!
Even the big boss of Yuehai Company heard about it and wanted to bring Wang Xiaohao into Yuehai Company.
He thought that with Wang Xiaohao overseeing things, the expenses of Yuehai Company's film crews would definitely be greatly reduced.
But how could Wang Xiaohao possibly join Yuehai Company?
He is quite satisfied with his current situation.
I'll organize my own group to shoot an art film.
When making commercial films, you can simply bring in a few big companies.
Moreover, Wang Xiaohao is also preparing to launch his own milk tea brand.
Instead of taking care of so many other things, he went to work for Yuehai Company.
Unless Wang Xiaohao's head got caught in a door!
It has to be said that after honing his skills in two films, Wang Xiaohao now feels quite adept at filming his third film, "My Love from the Star."
When filming "My Sassy Girl," it was his first time making a film, and success or failure depended on this one move. Wang Xiaohao took it very seriously, and his whole body was so tense that he dared not relax at all!
In addition, the production team was also in its infancy, with too many novices, so the filming process was full of ups and downs.
Even though Wang Xiaohao made a lot of preparations beforehand, the filming still didn't go very smoothly.
When filming "Beautiful Legend," it was Wang Xiaohao's first time making an art film, and the process was quite bumpy.
But this time, looking back and making commercial films again, I felt incredibly relaxed and happy!
Compared to the meticulousness of art films, which strive for a perfect score of 100 or even 110, commercial films often only need to achieve a score of 70 or 80 to pass.
As for TV dramas, 40 or 50 points is enough to pass!
There's no way around it, a movie is 90 or 100 minutes long.
A TV series consists of dozens of episodes, each lasting forty to fifty minutes.
If it were to be crafted with the same meticulous detail as a movie, it would be impossible to film.
TV dramas are mainly about dialogue. You can watch the visuals or not. You can pass the time by doing something else and listening to the dialogue.
But this movie can be made more visually; using dialogue would be too much!
That being said, Wang Xiaohao has never acted in a TV series.
But after shooting art films, it really felt much easier to shoot commercial films.
"My Love from the Star" is essentially an idol drama, or rather, a domineering CEO drama.
For Wang Xiaohao, filming was even simpler.
During the filming of the charity gala, the focus was mainly on the female lead. The male lead didn't have much opportunity to showcase his acting skills.
It was only after the female lead suffered a loss that the male lead went to help her slap her in the face.
Now, Wang Xiaohao has turned back to film what is arguably the most exciting scene in the entire film.
At least, it was the most exciting scene in Wang Xiaohao's opinion.
That's the kind of story where the female lead seduces an alien!
In this film, Wang Xiaohao removed all the ties between the male and female leads, such as their predestined relationship from a past life.
So how did the male lead fall in love with the female lead?
Of course it couldn't be a woman who has piqued my interest.
To make it more convincing for the male lead to fall in love with the female lead.
Wang Xiaohao thought of the scene in the movie "Green Snake" from his previous life, where Green Snake seduces Fahai.
