Chapter 455: Dinner
Filming is such a thing, except for the early stage of script creation, there is rarely a lot of slow work and meticulous work, and many classic movies are filmed in a hurry, and in just one month, they continue to squeeze the potential of the actors.
For example, in the world of black mobile phones, most of the prosperous Xiangjiang movies are like this.
The filming of the classic Chinese New Year film "East Becomes West" only took half a month, and it can be said that almost every day is rushing to catch up with the film.
And this phenomenon has not been eradicated until now, this is the era of entertainment to death, and everyone wants to come to the entertainment industry to make a profit.
In addition, most film crews pay the actors according to the number of days of shooting, so in order to save costs, the producers will let the entire crew speed up the progress of the work.
This is the case with "Battle", don't look at it as a big production, with famous directors and actors joining, but filming is still rushing every day.
There is no way, those leading actors are paid tens of millions a day, and after a movie is filmed, the money thrown on the actors alone is already tens of millions.
The investment budget of Guanghe Entertainment for this drama is less than one billion, and after removing all kinds of high salaries and necessary funds, the money left for post-production of special effects may not be possible.
Therefore, we have to find a way to deduct this money, where to deduct it? The actors' salaries should be reduced, and the number of filming days should be minimized, and the production of the whole drama should be completed quickly.
And there is also something particular about this, to get back the salary from the actors and actresses, people will definitely not be happy, then the time is on the miscellaneous soldiers, in a play, the roles of the male and female protagonists cannot account for more than 80%, and there must always be room for other characters to play, and science fiction films may be even less.
So, the expected call off did not come, the director asked the leading actors to go back to rest, and the other supporting roles were still filming desperately in the studio, and when He Xiao left, they were still acting, supervised by an assistant director.
He Xiao doesn't know when they went back in the end, he only knows that acting is really hard, I heard that Liu Haibo's crew is quite good, in Hengdian, many small crews don't take group performances as people at all, so it's really hard to mix.
Thinking of this, a long-lost name suddenly popped up in his mind - Zhang Wei.
This down-and-out man who had a short time sharing a house with him was constantly baptized by life, and after he had a night of heart with He Xiao, he left Yanjing to chase his dream in Hengdian.
After He Xiao entered the industry, he was very busy every day, he didn't pay much attention to the things in the film industry, and he didn't have time to watch movies, and even if he had time, he watched movies on his black phone and didn't watch his own world.
Therefore, Zhang Wei is really unclear, a supporting role is popular or a new actor is emerging, it is really difficult for He Xiao to pay attention.
And thinking of Zhang Wei, he has to think of Zhang Xuran, he seems to owe this landlord sister who has not seen him for a long time a movie.
Now that He Xiao is about to enter the film industry, maybe there is a chance, and he can honor this admission.
"He Xiao, let's go out to eat together. ”
Suddenly, there was a knock on He Xiao's door.
The hotel he stayed in was arranged by the crew, just near the film and television city, and the entire crew was here, almost chartered.
He Xiao, the person who spoke outside the door, recognized it by listening to the voice, it was the male lead actor of this play, actor Yi Guangyuan.
He and Yi Guangyuan had met before, at an awards ceremony, but the two only nodded and never even said hello, and this time it was the first time they met in the crew.
Although He Xiao plays a supporting role, he has a big coffee position, one side is a leader in the music industry, and the other side is a leader in the film industry, in terms of fame, he is on the same level as the two male and female leading actors.
So no one dares to underestimate him, and some of the core characters in the crew will also bring him to dinner parties.
"Eh, here it is!"
He Xiao tidied up his clothes, opened the door of the hotel, and saw that Yi Guangyuan had already changed out of his previous costume, wearing casual clothes, and stretched out his palm to He Xiao very politely.
"He Xiao, hello, although it is the first time for the two of us to meet, I usually pay attention to you, and I especially like the "Me and You" you sang at the Olympic Games. ”
Yiguang is an actor, but he doesn't have a frame at all, or he doesn't have a fight, just like an ordinary person who meets casually on the street, and greets He Xiao.
"Brother Yi, you really lift me up, but I like your "Big City Little Love" very much. He Xiao also immediately blew back each other.
But he didn't lie, Yi Guangyuan's previous drama was "Big City Little Love", a literary romance film, and it is also recognized as the pinnacle of his life.
He Xiao was still working at Xing Accord at the time, and after watching that movie, he really liked it, but he watched it...... Piracy.
used to be a bar drummer in Xing Accord, poor jingle bell, and the movie theater was an unattainable "high-end" consumption place for him, without the economic strength and time to support the genuine.
"Hey, He Xiao, Brother Yi, you're all out. ”
Yi Guangyuan smiled, and was about to say something, when a female voice next to him suddenly sounded, it was Chang Qiao.
Chang Qiao, like her name, is very delicate and has a small and delicate figure, but He Xiao doesn't pay much attention to her, and he doesn't know how she became popular.
In my impression, it seems that the scandal between her and a boss a few years ago was quite fierce, and there is nothing else.
Several people greeted each other, and then there was a word of idle talk, although everyone was in different circles, but the level was about the same, and there would be no cold situation.
After a while, some other people from the dinner party also arrived, all of whom were core members of the crew, the director, assistant director, producer, drama director and several supporting roles.
The high-end restaurant on the first floor of the hotel where everyone went directly asked for a private room, and then sat together and talked nonsense, during which He Xiao humbly asked Yi Guangyuan a lot of things about filming, but the other party didn't hold it up, relying on his own skills, he thought very highly of himself, but patiently provided his experience since he was in the industry, and often happened to interject a few words next to him from time to time.
The rest of the crew frequently looked sideways here, and He Xiao currently gave people the impression that he was shy and clean, more serious about his work, and good at learning, which was beyond their expectations.
After all, such amazing achievements have been made at a young age, it stands to reason that some young people should be unruly, and even have no talent in their eyes, many big names are like this when they are young, the most typical is Li Chengxun, who once covered the sky with one hand in the Xiangjiang entertainment circle, and the name of the drama bully is well known.
He Xiao did not have the edge he imagined, which made the crew change their views on him and made a lot of good impressions.
After all, people with good personalities are still popular after all, no matter where they go.
This first meal since joining the group made everyone quickly get acquainted with He Xiao, and the strangeness between them quickly disappeared.
This is a good thing, it will help He Xiao play in the crew tomorrow, after all, in a completely unfamiliar place, and working in a new field that has never been set foot in, the sense of estrangement will become a kind of resistance, which will seriously affect the quality of the final work.
