Chapter 19 Is this not a good thing?
Looking back now, if you watch a few Hong Kong films, you can find a lot of problems.
Especially the "Young and Dangerous" series, which was watched with great interest by countless people back then and influenced the social atmosphere, now, when we look back at the film, there are countless camera bugs.
Many martial arts and supernatural films use illogical lighting in their outdoor scenes, especially at night, making it impossible to tell from which direction the moonlight is coming.
This problem has appeared in many classic Hong Kong films!
However, despite the numerous problems with Hong Kong films, it must be said that their pacing and atmosphere are simply superb!
On the contrary, many mainland Chinese films fail to grasp the rhythm and atmosphere, and many commercial films make viewers drowsy.
However, when Hollywood movies came along, their films were both exquisite and well-paced.
It can be said to have the strengths of Hong Kong films, without their weaknesses.
And just like that, it completely overshadowed Hong Kong films!
In short, Wang Xiaoshuang still wants to make a good movie.
She really wanted to take this opportunity to enter the film industry.
At the same time, she really loved the script for the movie "My Sassy Girl"!
If it weren't for Wang Xiaoshuang's insistence, it wouldn't have been easy for Wang Xiaohao to obtain the ten million yuan filming budget!
They'll most likely only get three to five million, or even two to three million, and end up making a mess of footage.
Then the movie failed, and the reputation of losing tens of millions of yuan was forever branded on Wang Xiaohao's forehead.
Moreover, the more filming progressed, the more it became apparent that Wang Xiaoshuang was truly getting into character.
This movie, although it wasn't actually tailor-made for Wang Xiaoshuang as Wang Xiaohao claimed!
However, the female lead's unpredictable mood swings and frequent outbursts of anger are indeed somewhat similar to Wang Xiaoshuang's.
This made Wang Xiaoshuang increasingly immersed in the role. Gradually, she found herself unconsciously bringing out the emotions of the character she was portraying.
They often get angry over the smallest things and need others to coax them before they can continue filming.
This gave Wang Xiaohao an extremely bad headache!
However, this is also a good thing; the more the female lead is involved, the more authentic the emotions portrayed in the film will be.
It was just unfortunate that Lin Baoquan, who played the male lead, had to coax Wang Xiaoshuang countless times a day, which left him exhausted.
However, this guy wasn't born a masochist, and he gradually got into character. He actually found some enjoyment in Wang Xiaoshuang's frequent tantrums both on and off screen.
Wang Xiaohao couldn't help but shudder!
The filming of "My Sassy Girl" was not particularly difficult to begin with.
There weren't any large scenes, and not many actors.
Basically, everything revolves around the male and female protagonists.
However, after Wang Xiaohao modified this version of "My Sassy Girl", the perspective was shifted to the male lead, and he had a lot more screen time!
As mentioned earlier, Wang Xiaohao originally wanted to film it according to the original version.
But as he was filming, he let himself go and started shooting. "Screw you, I don't care what you say, I'll just shoot according to my own ideas!"
Who can guarantee that filming according to the original version on this timeline will be successful?
Wang Xiaohao believes that it should be more appropriate after his modifications!
Therefore, his film "My Sassy Girl" was filmed from the male protagonist's perspective.
It tells the story of how the male protagonist is gradually attracted to the mysterious female protagonist, and how he gradually unveils the mystery surrounding her.
Overall, Wang Xiaohao's version is about an honest, introverted, ordinary otaku who suddenly meets a stunning goddess.
Then, by chance, he established a relationship with the goddess, but suffered greatly due to her hot and cold attitude in the early stages and her barbarity in the later stages.
But through his persistence, he finally won over the goddess and returned home with her.
After reviewing the plot, Wang Xiaohao explained the scene to Lin Baoquan again.
Tell him that the male lead you're playing is honest and dull, a clumsy tech geek who has never been in a relationship.
He's the kind of guy who blushes and gets embarrassed when pretty girls get close to him and talk to him.
But you also need to have the stubbornness, seriousness, and single-mindedness of a tech geek.
Ultimately, it was these qualities that won over the female lead!
Wang Xiaohao even altered the script, adding a scene in the middle of the story where the female lead was acting wildly and outrageously.
That is, when the female lead plays a prank on the male lead, he can just accept it with a silly grin.
However, when the female lead's pranks accidentally harm innocent people, the male lead will explode and reprimand and lecture the female lead.
Although it will soon be suppressed by the female lead!
However, this will become a turning point in the transformation and sublimation of the two people's relationship.
It was through this incident that the female lead first truly fell for the male lead and recognized his outstanding qualities.
Then they became even more cunning in their pranks on the male lead!
And the male protagonist will continue to revel in this barbaric teasing!
This added plot will further complete the male protagonist's character arc!
As for the female lead, it's a bit more difficult to play.
The initial beauty and mystery. Like mist, like wind!
Despite their various mischievous antics after getting to know each other, they are also quite adorable and kind.
Then comes the unveiling of the vulnerability and sorrow beneath the heroine's fierce exterior.
While it makes one feel sorry for the female lead, it also makes one able to forgive her previous barbaric behavior!
To be honest, Wang Xiaohao's adaptation somewhat weakened the female lead.
The original female lead was absolutely the focal point of the drama, attracting all eyes and attention.
Wang Xiaohao's adaptation made the male and female leads more balanced, and the characters more fleshed out and three-dimensional.
However, this actually weakens the female lead!
Fortunately, Wang Xiaoshuang didn't notice this!
Wang Xiaohao subtly altered the plot without making a sound.
Otherwise, he was worried that this woman would make a scene!
Because what initially convinced Wang Xiaohao to persuade Wang Xiaoshuang was that she was the absolute core of the film and had the most appealing image...
Fortunately, this drama is very simple, with most of the story revolving around the male and female leads.
Otherwise, if Wang Xiaohao makes such a difficult adjustment in his first film, he might lose control of the plot and the film might flop!
The filming is starting to get really good!
As filming progressed into its later stages, Wang Xiaohao became completely immersed in the role.
But that day, Qu Qiuju called out to him with a serious expression: "Xiao Hao... Director!"
Seeing her so serious expression, Wang Xiaohao, who was still immersed in the filming, didn't react for a long time.
He blinked, then suddenly realized what was happening and asked, "Could it be that there's no money left in the account?"
Wang Xiaohao was a little worried because he had made some minor adjustments to the plot and had shot about one-tenth more footage than expected.
Did we go over budget?
Qu Qiuju, however, said with a serious expression: "No! We've only spent a little over six million in the account, and the filming is almost over, so it'll probably only be around eight million!"
Wang Xiaohao exclaimed in confusion, "This isn't a good thing!"
