Chapter 21: The Crew Assembles
At seven o'clock in the morning on September 27, 2001, Chen Hao, Ning Hao, Hao Yi and Xing Aina were eating breakfast.
"The Night the Comet Comed" is the first time that Haotian Studio has invested in a film by itself, although the investment is only 50,000 yuan, but the studio attaches great importance to it.
Today was the first time the crew gathered, so the four of them arrived early, rearranged the studio by the way, and then began to fill their stomachs.
In the past few days, Chen Hao and Hao Yi went to the filming location to confirm the shooting room, and counted all the props needed in the film with Xing Aina.
also went to the Youth Film Factory with Ning Hao to rent a complete set of shooting equipment, etc., and finally completed all the preparations.
Today, everyone in the crew gathered, so the four of them put the studio tables together so that everyone could sit down.
said that it was everyone, but in fact, there were a total of 7 behind-the-scenes including Chen Hao, and the four people in the studio were all wearing multiple hats.
There are only 8 actors, so there are only 15 people in the entire "Comet" crew, which is really a very small crew.
"Is this it?"
"According to the address given, it should be here!"
"Anyone?"
......
Hao Yi, who had sharp ears, instantly straightened up and said, "People are coming!"
Chen Hao and Ning Hao immediately stuffed the bun into their mouths when they heard this, and then walked out of the studio room.
"Hello, you should be Wang Yichuan, Li Qili and Zhang Mingliang introduced by Teacher Xie Fei!" Chen Hao stepped forward and said.
The three of them were secretly stunned when they saw Chen Hao, they were really as young as Xie Lao said, but they didn't expect to have a star face.
"Hello Director Chen, I'm recording Wang Yichuan. ”
"Director Chen, I'm Li Qili, who is makeup. ”
"Director Chen, I'm Zhang Mingming. ”
Chen Hao saw that the three of them did not have any dissatisfaction or contempt because of their youth, and nodded slightly, of course, it may have been entrusted by Xie Lao before.
But in this way, Chen Hao is already very satisfied, it doesn't matter what he thinks in his heart, as long as he completes his tasks well and gets by on his face, Chen Hao is too lazy to care so much!
"You guys are here behind the scenes of our crew, this is the cinematographer Ning Hao, this is the art director Hao Yi, and this is our life producer Xing Aina!" Chen Hao introduced them one by one.
"Please advise!"
"Happy working together!"
After getting to know each other, the seven of them entered the studio and sat down and chatted politely.
"Chen Hao?"
As soon as Chen Hao heard Dong Xuan's voice, he immediately stood up and walked out.
Hao Yi on the side bumped into Ning Hao funny, Ning Hao also squeezed his eyebrows at Hao Yi, and Xing Aina, who was watching, shook his head with a smile.
Chen Hao looked at the slim, bright and lovely Dong Xuan not far away, and said with a smile, "You're here!"
"Hmm!" Dong Xuan was very happy when she saw Chen Hao, and ran over happily, but then her nose wrinkled slightly, "Why don't you come to me these days!"
"Isn't that busy preparing for a movie? Chen Hao said.
"Well, I know you're working hard, so I'll spare you for the time being. Dong Xuan said coquettishly, "By the way, I'm not late!"
"No, you're the first actor to arrive. Chen Hao smiled, "So anxious to see me?"
Dong Xuan glanced at Chen Hao coquettishly when she heard this, "Narcissism!"
"Director Chen, we're here!"
When Chen Hao heard this, he looked behind Dong Xuan, and Deng Chao, Tang Wei and Zhu Yuchen came together.
"Come in, go in and sit!" Chen Hao beckoned the four of them in.
The studio suddenly became lively.
Then Hai Qing and Zhou Yiwei came together, and they were polite again.
In the end, Chen Qian and Yan Danchen, two classmates from the 96 star class, came together.
When Yan Danchen appeared, all the men couldn't help but take a few more looks, she was indeed a great beauty, even in later generations, and it was even more amorous.
Seeing this, Dong Xuan couldn't help but get close to Chen Hao, and at the same time stared at Yan Danchen tightly.
Yan Danchen also noticed Dong Xuan as soon as he came in, this may be the intuition of a beautiful woman, she can know who her biggest rival is in an instant!
And when everyone saw Chen Qian, they couldn't help but stand up, and their expressions were very surprised.
Apparently everyone knows this little boy who is now famous.
It's just that the crew is so poor, how can you invite this?
Then I thought that Chen Hao and Chen Qian were alumni of Beiying.
"Okay, since everyone is here, let's all sit down first!" Chen Hao said.
Fortunately, the studio space is large enough for 15 people to be too crowded.
Behind the scenes, the crew sat on Chen Hao's right, and the actors sat on Chen Hao's left.
The actor closest to Chen Hao is Chen Qian, followed by Dong Xuan.
Because the play "Comet" is unfolded from the perspective of the heroine, Dong Xuan's role is undoubtedly the most, and the remaining seven people actually have similar roles.
But Chen Qian is the most famous person here, so he sat in the first place, and Dong Xuan sat in the second place completely because of the heroine.
This kind of sitting was not arranged by Chen Hao, but a natural choice of 8 people, so there is a certain reason for the strict hierarchy in the entertainment industry.
Even if everyone has just entered this circle, they are already adapting passively or actively!
"Today is the first time that our "Comet" crew has gathered, and I am very grateful to everyone for choosing to join the "Comet" team, although our team is a little smaller, but as long as everyone does their own work, they may not be able to shoot good works.
You may not be familiar with it yet, so let's introduce yourself first!" Chen Hao said, "I am the investor, producer, director and screenwriter of the crew, Chen Hao!"
"I'm photographer Ning Hao!"
"I'm life producer Xing Aina!"
"I'm Chen Qian!"
"I'm Dong Xuan!"
......
"I came to you today, mainly to let everyone get to know each other and read the script at the same time!" Chen Hao said.
When filming in a crew, if you want to shoot smoothly, in addition to their respective business ability levels, tacit understanding is also essential.
In particular, the 8 actors are friends with each other, and they are 4 couples, although it is not a romance movie, but at least they should look natural and comfortable when they get along, and they can't be too stiff!
At the same time, in order to make a good film, it is essential to read the script.
Reading around the script, the director can communicate his intentions to the entire crew, including the actors and behind the scenes, and explain the results he wants.
It is beneficial for everyone to understand the script faster, better understand the needs of the director, and achieve the state or goal faster and better.
It is also for everyone to raise the doubts and puzzles in their hearts, or the problems that may be encountered in the shooting, so that everyone can discuss and solve them together.
Reading the script around can make the script more perfect, the shooting smoother, and everyone more worry-free.
Especially in the case that "Comet" is such a brain-burning plot, it is even more essential to read the script.
