Out of the second ring road in the urban area of Beijing, go northeast, go to the direction of the capital airport, and you will arrive at Shunyi County.

The Third Ring Road has just been developed, and it is all wasteland outside, not to mention this kind of suburban county, except for a road leading to the airport, which is desolate as far as the eye can see.

Xu Fei and Feng stepped on a tun with one foot deep and one foot shallow, looking at the brick factory in front of them.

There are many brick factories in Shunyi, which are basically labor reform units, and this brick factory has received many labor reform prisoners, and now it has become an enterprise. But the old plans and houses are still preserved.

Feng pants wrapped in a military coat, with a small cigarette, squatting at the door of the brick factory, like the local village party secretary, "The environment is good, but the ground is a little dry, there is no mud, and you have to take water and water it all over." ”

"The whole can't be watered, the filming can't be filmed, and the meaning of the place is right. Xu Fei said.

The labor reform brick factory written in the book, because it always rains and is still clay, is very soft, and you can't pull it out when you step on it. Serious filming definitely can't be filmed like this, it needs artistic processing.

"It's good to slip the factory, I looked at five or six brick factories, and this plan is the most similar. ”

"We had to build a room in the north, a duty room in the south, and the chimney had to be old. I'll go inside and take a look, and the dormitory will be more suitable. ”

The book writes about the environment of the brick factory:

"A rectangular compound enclosed by a white wall, with two rows of cells that are relatively long from east to west. On the south-facing side, on either side of the black courtyard gate, there are several captain's offices and duty rooms, and on the north-facing side, there are rooms, and the rust-mottled chimneys on the roof are spewing muddy gray smoke. ”

There is also the structure of the prison house:

"In a room of more than 20 square meters, two rows of knee-high wooden planks were built with bricks along the north and south walls, leaving only a narrow walkway for the whole room. ”

That's what the set does, and since the original book was written, we have to do our best to restore it.

After the two of you finished discussing one sentence at a time, Feng Pants threw away the cigarette butt and asked while rubbing his foot: "I said brother, I am always unsteady in my heart, this doesn't seem to be our job?"

"Why not? We choose the scenery for the scenery, and the scenery is our work. ”

"That's, that's also overclass. The two of us stepped on the scene, collected the props, made the clothes, and recommended the actors over there, and the co-authoring behind the scenes was all rounded?"

Zheng Xiaolong asked Xu Fei to take care of the art business, but he automatically and consciously juxtaposed the relationship.

Xu Fei smiled and said, "Let's put it this way, for example, you are a leader and asked two employees to investigate the price of tomatoes today."

The first one came back and said that tomatoes were a dime a pound today. The second one came back, saying that the tomatoes were a dime a pound, which was two cents higher than yesterday, because it was raining today, and many vegetable vendors did not come. But I see that today's cucumbers are very cheap, only seven cents a pound, and I have brought the cucumber sellers and tomatoes sellers, do you want to meet them?"

He opened his mouth and came to a famous success story in later generations, asking: "Which employee do you say you like?"

"This, this...... Definitely the second one. ”

Feng Pants scratched his scalp and said, "But let's also score the leader, if you don't have the ability and are careful, you may still think he is troublesome." ”

"That's right, do you think the director and director are cautious? No, that's it!"

"Tsk!"

Feng took a breath of cold air, and took out a cigarette and lit it, "Well, it's this reason." ”

"Oh, let's go, go in and have a look!"

Xu Fei stood up and stepped into the factory.

The pants are not very strong, obviously a few years younger than themselves, but they always occupy the dominant position, and what is even more annoying is that they can't get it back.

............

"Yupu, how are you doing over there?"

"The public security department has been properly contacted to sponsor our venue and resources free of charge. I'm communicating with the Jinmen Public Security to see if I can borrow the port.

The crew was initially set at 39 people, and the financial logistics were already in place. If all goes well, it is expected to start filming in May, with a total capital of 400,000 yuan. ”

Production Director Yu Pudao.

"Well, very efficient, not bad. Xiao Xu, I heard that you went to look for the location?" Lin Ruwei asked with a smile.

"It's a picture we took, you see. ”

Xu Fei handed over a stack of photos and said: "I have talked with Brother Feng, that brick factory used to be a labor reform unit, I heard that the drama praising the public security police, people don't want a penny, it's just that a few leaders want to show up, can you arrange a small role?"

At the preparatory meeting of "Plainclothes Police", Xu Fei reported on the progress of his work.

Lin Ruwei didn't speak, just looked at the stack of photos, inside and outside the factory, the courtyard as a whole, and the surrounding tree environment, which was very detailed.

She watched it for a long time, and Fang said, "Do they ask for lines?"

"Just one or two sentences, it doesn't matter if you don't. ”

"That's fine, let's settle on this brick factory. ”

"Okay, let's get to the set right away. Feng Pants hurriedly grabbed a sentence.

"Anything else?"

"In terms of props, we are in the collection stage, and the specific layout depends on the shooting plan. ”

"In terms of costumes, we are also collecting and preparing, and we will be able to come over in a while, depending on the shooting plan. ”

“......”

Lin Ruwei lifted his glasses, looked at the content of the meeting, and found that a large part of the front could be omitted, and he started directly from casting.

The old lady has been filming for so many years, but it is the first time she has encountered such a relaxed situation.

The crew in the eighties was very rough, there were not many types of work, and the division of labor was not so fine.

In the future, a medium-sized crew must first set up a production team, including production directors, on-site producers, life producers, external producers, financial, drama and logistics support personnel.

There is also a director group, including director, assistant director, scene reporter, action director, stunt director, etc.

The photography group consists of a photographer, an assistant photographer, a photography assistant, a mechanic, a gaffer, and a lighting assistant.

The art group consists of a chief artist, art design, costumes, props, makeup and other groups.

There are a lot of people, a lot of, and there are even more people who are greedy for money and black money. For example, the liaison producer who is responsible for finding locations asks for 10,000 a day, and he comes back and says 20,000, which makes 10,000 yuan.

Xu Fei's current position should be the chief artist, but he has done the work of an external producer. Lin Ruwei was very happy because it saved a lot of time.

"In terms of casting, let me tell you, I have looked at several candidates, and I still think Hu Yajie is more suitable. ”

Lin Ruwei turned out a photo of Hu Yajie and said: "His affinity is very important, his facial features are very positive, and he is a little naïve, but his body is too thin, I want him to enter the group to exercise in advance, and go to the detention center to experience life by the way." ”

"Okay, I'll get in touch. Hupp nodded.

"There is also the actor of Yan Jun, I am inclined to this ......"

She showed another one, Xu Fei took a look, and it was really China's first mother, Teacher Song Chunli.

Yan Jun's age is not specifically introduced in the book, anyway, he thinks Song Chunli is a bit older, and he is more like a sister and brother than Hu Yajie, I don't know what the director thinks.

"Section Chief Duan, Bai Zhidi is experienced and competent. ”

Bai Zhidi is the grandson of Oolong in "Wulin Gaiden".

"Shi Wanyun, the father of the Shi sisters, I think I can invite Mr. Lan Tianye to play. ”

"Ranamano ......"

Everyone didn't dare to say anything, this senior is too deep, he acted in dramas in the forties, the first batch of actors in Renyi, directed and starred in many famous works, and rarely participated in film and television dramas.

"Can the old gentleman come?"

"I still have some friendship, I'll invite it personally. Lin Ruwei said.

"That's a good dare, and you'll have the bottom at once. Zheng Xiaolong said with a smile.

Everyone is also happy, there is an old gentleman in charge, it is like adding a pillar, not afraid of the collapse of the play.

"Du Weidong and Lu Yuanchao's candidates are a little worse, look for it again. Sister Shi, I made an appointment for the audition, and I will watch it again. ”

After the casting, the meeting ended.

Xu Fei walked out, and in the corridor, he saw a young man running into the building.

"Brother Fei!"

"I'm all back, in the courtyard. ”

"Hard work!"

Xu Fei hurriedly greeted him and followed him out of the building, and the others were curious and took a look.

I saw a tricycle parked in the courtyard of the TV station, and the car was full of shabby clothes, and it was dirty and smelly. He picked up one and looked at it, "Yes, it's this kind of gown, it's tired all day, right?"

"I was tired, but I felt that I was really rich now, and in the first few years, I still sewed and mended, and my family wore it for eight generations. Okay now, it's about the pound. ”

The young man sighed that he was a temporarily seconded employee, named Guan Jingqing, who was the same age as Xu Fei, and he was treated with a meal of mutton.

"Find a few people to wash the clothes, and patch the big mouth with patches, don't be too clean. Wait for me after work, or come to the east!"

"Hehe, non-brother is arrogant!"

Guan Jingqing gave a thumbs up.

The story of "Plainclothes Police" takes place in the seventies, and there are three main types of clothing.

One is the uniform, which is sponsored by the public security department, so you don't have to worry about it.

One is regular clothes, which is also easy to do, because the years are near, and the old clothes are stored at home.

The third type is worn by re-education through labor prisoners.

Xu Fei specifically consulted with the veteran police officers about what to wear for re-education through labor. It is said that the upper body is a white cloth gown, with no sleeves, the placket is open, some can be buttoned, and the lower body is blue or black single pants.

is like the kind common in film and television dramas, the kind worn by rickshaws in old Shanghai.

Other clothes may still be kept, but this gown is very rare in the city, and most of them are worn by old men. Xu Fei asked him to collect it from door to door, tattered, of different sizes and lengths, but it just happened to be used as a prisoner's clothing.

Everyone watched from the side, and suddenly they were also gossiping:

"It's all collected, which saves a lot of money. ”

"I wanted to make it custom. ”

"That's right, it was wearing a gown at the time, and I had a relative who went in and had an impression. ”

Xu Fei coped with it, and said to Zheng Xiaolong: "Director, can we add a warehouse to be a clothing department?"

"Clothing department?"

"Even after filming, these clothes are kept, and they are collected according to the type of era, which is equivalent to our reserve grain. There are also those props and materials, which are also kept, and when I shoot similar scenes in the future, I will use them directly. ”

"Yes, I'll apply with the above, and then allocate a room......"

Zheng Xiaolong nodded, seeing him greet Guan Jingqing to be busy, he suddenly remembered a sentence at the meeting that day, "Film and television dramas must be industrialized, and the premise of industrialization is professionalism." ”

I didn't understand it too much, but now I seem to understand it a little.

(Don't eat indiscriminately in the summer, and continue to make up for it when I'm ready...... ）
