On April 16, at 9 o'clock in the morning, Li Qian walked to the studio with the breakfast he bought on the side of the road.

The crew's preparations went well, after all, the small crew of more than ten people had nothing to do.

There were only two main scenes, the scenes in the phone booth were filmed in the studio, and the other scenes on the street were filmed outside.

The crew had completed the preparations the day before yesterday, and they also found an executive director who satisfied Li Qian.

Qi Yukun from Inner Mongolia, although he has no experience in execution, but he has studied at the Film Training Institute opened by the West Film Studio, and started from the bottom recording pole and field care tea in the West Film Studio, and has done all the low-level work of the crew, is familiar with any position of the entire crew, and has certain literary and directing skills.

This is already the best execution that can be found.

Everything is ready, just wait for the official start of filming in two days.

However, before filming, you have to have a meeting with the main creative staff to determine the shooting plan, shooting style, including specific operation methods.

and the mutual communication and collision of ideas between the creators, and a complete understanding of the film.

Big directors have their own set of teams, and they know each other well enough, the director knows the personal style of his director of photography and art director, and they also know the director's habits and preferences, so it will be easier and more effective to communicate.

And a sketchy crew doesn't know each other, and they don't even agree on the overall style and understanding of the movie, which is a disaster for the filming process.

Plus there are three days left today, which is enough, after all, the length of the film is only 60 minutes, and the structure is single, so there is nothing complicated.

......

When I came to the studio, everyone had already arrived.

Lei Jiayin's high-speed train came from the magic capital in the morning, which was considered to be preparing for the group in advance, but Peng Yuchang asked for leave, the second model score was very good, and the college entrance examination was not a big problem, so he came to the crew to study in advance.

It's the first time since the studio business was discontinued that it was so lively.

"Good morning, everyone, it looks like I'm late. ”

Li Qian smiled and said hello to everyone.

As soon as he came in, Peng Yuchang was the fastest to react and bowed, "Good morning, Director Li." ”

Guo Fan and Gao Yang also greeted each other.

"Boss!"

"Director Li. ”

"Have you all eaten, sit down first, wait for me, and it will be over soon." ”

Li Qian sat down at the top of the generous table and took out his breakfast from the bag.

A bowl of tofu brain with a large spoonful of hot sauce bright red on top.

Stir well with a spoon, red and white, and it will look full of appetite.

Go down in three or two, and immediately see the bottom.

This way of eating made people from all over the country have different expressions, and Gao Yang, who is from eastern Guangdong, twitched the corners of his mouth, and in the studio for a year, every time he saw Li Qian eat like this, he felt uncomfortable.

Peng Yuchang, who was on the side, couldn't help but say loudly, "Director Li, can you add chili peppers to tofu brains?"

Li Qian smiled and asked, "Why can't you add it, you don't eat spicy?"

Peng Yuchang shook his head, "I've never tried to eat like this." ”

"As a Jiangnan person, it's not okay not to eat spicy. ”

Li Qian shook his head, and said with some regret, "The taste is still not authentic, there used to be a breakfast shop that sold authentic Q County tofu brain, but unfortunately it didn't open, the chili oil was called a cool, and now I can only add some chili sauce." ”

Throwing away the breakfast box, Li Qian looked at the people sitting on both sides with a straight face.

"It's been three days before the start-up, and it's the first time we've worked with each other, so I'll start with that. ”

Seeing that Li Qian suddenly became so serious, everyone also got serious and looked at him.

"This is my first feature film directed, and my ugly words are also in front of me, as soon as the camera is turned on, no matter what, the whole crew has to listen to me. ”

As a director and investor, Li Qian has no problem saying this, and there is no unhappiness on anyone's face here.

"Peng Peng, do you think tofu brain is spicy and delicious?"

Suddenly, Li Qian looked at Peng Yuchang with a smile.

？？

The sudden question made Peng Yuchang a little confused, opened his mouth, and still reacted instinctively, "Should... It should be delicious. ”

The atmosphere changed suddenly, except for Zhang Zhonghua, Gao Yang, and Wang Lu, the three studio employees looked as usual, and even wanted to laugh a little, and the others, including Lei Jiayin, were a little nervous.

"Then you can try it tomorrow. ”

Li Qian smiled and eased the atmosphere, "By the way, I found a cook for our crew, so we don't have to eat fast food, if you have any taboos, you can tell Gao Yang later, although our conditions are simple, but we can't eat casually." ”

Absolute authority, Li Qian understood the importance of these four words a year ago.

For a leader, it's the foundation of the foundations.

Don't look at Zhou Xingxing's filming of "The King of Comedy", if there is a group performance like Yin Tianqiu in his crew, there is a high probability that he will be blown away, and no director will allow his crew to have disobedient people.

Li Qian's sudden change of face made Lei Jiayin, Guo Fan and others begin to really treat him as a director, rather than a young man younger than himself.

In the following discussion, Li Qian talked about the creative concept, overall style, structure, and rhythm of the movie "Sniper Phone Booth".

After I got the storyboard, I recognized that this was a very mature storyboard script, and after listening to Li Qian's overall analysis, I had a deeper understanding and was even more amazed by Li Qian's talent.

Even in the use of lenses and lighting, most of the time, Zhang Zhonghua, a professional photographer, has no better advice, and after working together for almost a year, he truly realized Li Qian's ability for the first time.

In terms of visual style, Guo Fan sadly found that he, as an art director, didn't seem to be able to give much useful advice at all, and became a painter.

drew some key shots, which were more intuitive than storyboard scripts, and made Li Qian more simple and clear.

The meeting lasted until two o'clock in the afternoon, and the whole process was more like Li Qian constantly instilling his thoughts with them, so that they could understand Li Qian's thoughts, down to every shot.

Of course, in the process, Qi Yukun, Zhang Zhonghua, and Guo Fan also put forward their own suggestions from time to time, but most of them were persuaded by Li Qian.

As for the actors, just listen to it.

I was really hungry, so I stopped the first formal discussion of the main creator.

For lunch, I ordered a table of dishes from a small restaurant nearby for them to bring and ate in the studio.

The afternoon meeting lasted until seven o'clock, and after eating, Li Qian also asked each of them to go home.

greeted Peng Yuchang, "Let's go, Peng Peng, you can live in my house, there is just one room." ”

Everyone else has a place to live here, after all, Peng Yuchang is young and has just come out of society, and he is a fellow countryman, so if something happens, it is difficult to explain it to his parents, so he will bring it back to his home.

Lei Jiayin's girlfriend may come to visit the class halfway, and the two of them must also have independent space.

And after all, he is the leading actor, so Li Qian rented him a small hotel nearby, otherwise he could sleep on the sofa at home.

However, Peng Yuchang looked embarrassed, Li Qian looked much more serious today, which made him a little scared.

"What's wrong with you, go with the boss. ”

Gao Yang on the side saw that he was standing there and didn't move, and asked.

Then he understood again and said with a smile, "Don't be afraid, I won't eat you, you will know when you are familiar with the boss, he is very easy to get along with, sometimes he is like a joke, today is all deliberate." ”

Comics?

It's not like it at all, okay!

Peng Yuchang was full of slander in his heart, but he still carried his suitcase and obediently followed Li Qian.
