Chapter 023: The daily life of the crew

After Li Mo deliberately set an example, the efficiency of various types of work behind the scenes has improved a lot, although small problems still occur from time to time, but at least the probability of the same problem appearing a second time is much less, and the work attitude of those rookies is still satisfactory.

I can see that I am improving, Li Mo said to himself.

Another result of the improved work efficiency of the crew is that Li Mo can split the crew.

There are not many big scenes in the first season of the original "Love Apartment", except for the outdoor scenes in the first episode, only the episode of the viaduct traffic jam needs multi-faceted support. So Li Mo simply divided the crew into two, and asked Wei Zheng and Zong Shuai to finish filming the location scenes of the wedding part first, while he took Fat Di and Du Jun, who was pulled by Sun Yuyang, to continue to fight with the bus.

Originally, Li Mo only planned to rent a bus for a day, after all, there were very few scenes on the bus, only Lu Zhanbo and Lin Wanyu met for the first time, got acquainted, and then greeted each other.

But who knew that although Li Mo did not have the height of one hundred and eighty-nine centimeters of the Jin family in the original time and space, Fat Di was in the stage of baby fat, but she was still the type with long flesh and no face, and it took half a day just to discuss with the bus driver how to adjust the seat to a certain extent.

When the seat adjustment is complete, the light outside is not good again. A group of rookies in the lighting group tossed for a long time, but they couldn't adjust the desired effect, and finally had to add another day to get the scene on the bus done.

After this experience, the logistics support departments were a little trembling when they were making preparations, and they reported the problems as soon as they could, for fear that they would become the target of killing chickens and monkeys.

Contrary to their expectations, in addition to the first day's rampage, when he encountered problems in the follow-up, Li Mo's reaction was obviously much calmer and more patient, as if the person who roared at the crew that day was not him at all.

In fact, Li Mo has long been mentally prepared for the problems of these rookies, and the reason why he had such an unceremonious attack on the first day is that he needs to set rules for these rookies, so that they know that the director attaches great importance to the preparation before the start of filming, so that after this incident, not to mention that they can think about everything in front, at least not to be completely invisible when things are under their noses.

On the other hand, Li Mo was really worried about whether Fat Di would catch a cold and get sick at that time, in Li Mo's opinion, from the moment the actor and the crew signed the contract, they became a part of the machine of the crew, and the parts were not in good condition, which would naturally affect the operation of the entire "machine", and the crew was not running smoothly and was directly burned, but it was the real money of he, an investor.

All things related to money should not be careless.

But I don't know if it's because Fat Di's physical fitness is better or for some other reason, he was blown by the cold wind for nearly ten minutes in thin clothes, but he didn't catch a cold, Li Mo secretly rejoiced and also gave a death order to the crew: "If any actor falls ill during the filming because of the inadequate service of the crew, the bonus of all the crew will be cancelled." ”

As for why it's talking about actors and not starring?

Isn't it obvious that the leading actor doesn't take the actor seriously, Li Mo himself is also a person who slowly climbed up from the bottom, how could he not know the class division within the crew, but many things, I would rather be known than seen, wouldn't it be so clear to create a gap and confrontation between the leading and non-leading actors.

In his previous life, when Li Mo directed his first feature film, there were less than 100 people in the crew, but it was such a small crew, a guy who was shoehorned in by the investor, was so stupid that he directly publicized the difference in treatment between the leading and non-leading actors, which made the crew almost shut down, and in the end, Li Mo kicked the guy out of the crew at the risk of the investor's withdrawal, and the turmoil was able to subside.

A week later, the crew finally went through the stumbling days, and Li Mo also developed the habit of calling Zong Shuai and Wei Zheng to go back to his small building together after the filming was completed every day, and quickly go through the day's shooting content and summarize the gains and losses.

That's right, Li Mo didn't intend to hand over the editing work to others from the beginning.

Since the whole drama is in his head, if he goes to an outsider to deal with it again, it is difficult to say whether the final result will be what he has in his mind, and that kind of finished film will make Li Mo lose control of the laughter of the whole play.

Since Li Mo came to this time and space and decided to shoot "Love Apartment", he has learned about the TV drama market on the other side of the Pacific through the channel of the school, and the "Romance of Father and Mother" in his previous life did not appear on Fox's CBS TV until the end of last year, "Friends" did not end in the tenth season like in his previous life, but was renewed for five seasons in one go, and it did not end until 2009.

Perhaps it was the longevity of "Friends" that caused Fox to abandon the strategy of using another sitcom to fight it, so "The Romance of Mom and Dad" did not come out as scheduled.

The disappearance of a TV series on the other side of the Pacific Ocean has only limited Li Mo's impact on "Love Apartment" in this time and space, and he doesn't have to bear the infamy of "loving the apartment" and "simultaneous interpretation".

If the first season of "Love Apartment" can successfully make a name for itself, Li Mo has no intention of continuing to direct a sequel.

After a few days of contact, Li Mo can basically determine that there is no problem at all for Wei Zheng from this time and space to be in charge of the sequel to "Love Apartment".

Anyway, for a sitcom like "Love Apartment", the most critical part is the script and the actors, as long as the script level is sufficient, coupled with a group of familiar actors, it is not as difficult as imagined to get the audience to buy it.

When I was filming the location of the second part, I was the producer myself......

Today, there are only two main actors in Li Mo's group, Li Mo and Fat Di, but because Li Mo is both a director and an actor, he can't find the problem at the first time when he performs, so the shooting is often interrupted, coupled with NG and some other off-site factors, the scenes and drama affairs are tortured enough by him.

And Fat Di probably listened carefully to Li Mo's instructions yesterday, and planned to implement the four words "acting in his true colors" to the end, but at the end of the day, there were fewer mistakes than Li Mo.

Finally finished the day's shooting, Li Mo called Zong Shuai while beckoning the crew to pack up his things, wanting to know about the filming progress of that group, and reminding Wei Zheng and Zong Shuai to remember to bring the materials to his house for a meeting at night.
