Chapter 442: Unexpected Visitor
Coming to the Blue Ocean Film and Television Base, the division of labor of the director team with Lin Qirong as the core is more clear.
Zhong Yuxin has been here for a long time and knows many people here, so she is mainly responsible for coordinating the work of all parties.
Lee Kwang-sheng is mainly responsible for all aspects of filming, especially the communication with the actors, which is very important to ensure that the actors can read the script thoroughly and meet Lin Qirong's requirements.
He Yijun does more to manage technicians and various shooting equipment, which requires great care, which is just in line with his character.
In addition, this time he also added a job: recruiting extras, which is commonly known as a trick.
Although it is said that it is only an extra, it does not have much impact on a play, but it is also indispensable in a play, and it needs to be recruited according to the actual situation.
If you are lucky, a certain extra plays brilliantly and is remembered by the audience, which is a bonus to a play.
In this regard, the famous actor and director Xing Ye in his previous life has the most right to speak, and in his movies, the role of Ruhua is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and even a Xiaoqiang is remembered by the audience.
And for extras, being able to appear in a play means having the opportunity to be remembered by the audience, and then be excavated to really go on the road to stardom.
This is also the reason why the Blue Ocean Film and Television Base is full of all kinds of extras, even if there is only a slim hope, they are struggling to persevere.
This also gave birth to a special profession: the head of the group, they organized some extras, directly connected with each crew, and provided various extras according to the needs of the crew.
They are like a labor dispatch company, or a platform, and the crew doesn't have to bother to find a group performer temporarily.
A small production like "Wulin Gaiden" is a little better, if it is a large-scale court drama, a war scene, and a big scene with hundreds or thousands of people, the extras you need are not so easy to find.
With the direct docking of the group head, the crew can save a lot of thought.
And the extras also have a temporary organization, so they can have more opportunities to receive more roles, and they are naturally happy.
As for the group leaders, why not use this platform to make money.
In this sense, this is a win-win situation, and it is also the reason why the group head has always been defaulted to in various film and television bases like the Blue Ocean Film and Television Base.
Of course, this has also given rise to a lot of things, especially some ill-intentioned group leaders who use various means to coerce and lure some extras to do things they don't want to do, and even push them directly into the fire pit in the middle, which is full of bad deeds.
However, Lin Qirong can't manage this kind of thing, and it's impossible for his crew not to perform in groups, so he can only not do such things himself, and he also asks his employees not to do such things.
The next day, he was greeted by an unexpected visitor.
When He Yijun brought him in, the familiar face made Lin Qirong's heart tremble.
The person who came was a middle-aged man in his thirties, and as soon as he came in, he greeted with a smile on his face, "Hello Director Lin, I am Wu Kaishan, and I am the person in charge of Kaishan Film and Television Media Studio." ”
Sure enough, it was him, Wu Kaishan, Wu Tongyu's eldest brother.
Lin Qirong had seen him a few times before, and his face was somewhat similar to Wu Tongyu, so he recognized him at first sight.
I remember Zeng Xinyi once said that Wu Tongyu's family seems to have moved to the blue ocean, but she didn't expect to meet her eldest brother Wu Kaishan here.
However, Wu Kaishan has not seen him, and few people know about his crush on Wu Tongyu, and only Zhao Ping knows what happened later, so it is not surprising that he did not recognize himself.
"Hello, please be seated. Lin Qirong smiled and nodded to him, and motioned for the staff to pour him tea.
"Thank you. Wu Kaishan sat opposite him with a smile on his face, "I contacted Director He a few days ago, and I want to meet with Director Lin to see what our company can do to help Director Lin."
Although our company is not big, we have been doing it in the Blue Ocean Film and Television Base for many years, and we are very familiar with all aspects, and we can help Director Lin deal with all kinds of things, so that you can shoot with peace of mind.
In addition, our company has signed contracts with thousands of extras, and can provide high-quality actor resources according to the needs of the crew at any time.
Director Lin is a well-known director, and the scene you shoot is destined to be a big hit, and we are happy to provide you with the necessary help. ”
"Mr. Wu's eloquence is very good. Lin Qirong smiled, "You've been doing this for a long time, right?"
Wu Kaishan shook his head, "Actually, it's only been a few years, but fortunately, I met a nobleman, and I can count it as a bowl of rice here."
You know that if you are in our business, if you are a stuffy gourd, then you have to drink the northwest wind, and the words are indeed a little more, and please understand Director Lin. ”
Lin Qirong waved his hand, "This is a good thing, it shows that Mr. Wu's business is prosperous." However, with the scale of Wu's head office, it doesn't seem that we need to bother with our small crew, right?
You should know that our play is only a small production and does not need too many extras. ”
Wu Kaishan waved his hand again and again, "Director Lin is polite, although your play is indeed not a big production, you don't need too many extras."
But Director Lin is not a small director, sooner or later he will direct a big-budget TV series or even a movie.
So it's a great honor to be able to pick up with you at this time and have some cooperation. ”
"I see, Mr. Wu is indeed a very smart businessman. Lin Qirong chuckled.
Wu Kaishan is obviously making investments, hoping to get in touch with Lin Qirong, and Lin Qirong will continue to cooperate with him when he films in the Blue Ocean Film and Television Base in the future.
And if he can arrange someone to join Lin Qirong's crew to film, it will be a huge bonus to him and his company's reputation, after all, Lin Qirong's reputation in the entertainment industry is still very big, enough for those extras to look up to.
This is a very smart approach, and Lin Qirong has to admire it.
It seems that he is a perfect fit for this industry.
He pondered for a moment before he said in Wu Kaishan's expectant eyes, "In principle, I agree to cooperate with your company, try to hire the actors recommended by your company, if the cooperation goes well, it is not impossible to continue to cooperate in the future."
You can continue to connect with Director He at this point, and you don't need to talk to me about this again. ”
"Really?" Wu Kaishan looked at Lin Qirong with some surprise, and agreed like this? Doesn't it necessary to put forward various conditions and then bargain by himself?
Seeing his eyes, Lin Qirong shook his head, "Mr. Wu, the goal of our crew is to make a good film, and the only requirement for your company is that you must recommend actors according to our requirements, instead of stuffing all cats and dogs into us."
I can tell you the truth, if the cooperation is good, we will have a lot of big dramas in the future, and there are many opportunities for cooperation.
But if you use the tricks you used on the other crew, we'll stop working together as soon as possible, and I want you to pay attention to that. ”
Wu Kaishan nodded seriously, "I remember, Director Lin." I promise you that I will definitely recommend the most suitable and excellent actors to you.
Even if we don't have an actor in our company who meets your requirements, I know a lot of people here and can help you find out and recommend them to you. ”
"That's exactly what I wanted. Lin Qirong said with a smile, "Happy cooperation in the future." ”
"Thank you, nice to work with. Wu Kaishan held Lin Qirong's hand tightly, "I'll be the east tonight, invite Director Lin and Director He to have a meal together, I don't know if it's inconvenient?"
"Forget it. Lin Qirong seemed to have a smile on his face, he had already seen through his thoughts, it was nothing more than stuffing a red envelope during dinner and then arranging two beautiful girls to talk with him, as long as Lin Qirong stepped in, he had a way to satisfy him.
"Yes, I see. Wu Kaishan nodded a little embarrassedly, "Then I'll come to visit Director Lin again in the future." ”
"Okay, Mr. Wu walks slowly, Director He will send it for me. ”
He Yijun nodded, sent Wu Kaishan back to the conference room, and saw Lin Qirong leaning on the back of the chair with his eyes closed.
"I'm sorry, I took matters into account. He Yijun said, "When I saw him before, knew that his surname was Wu and then was in the same place as you, I guessed his identity."
I want to bring him to meet you, as you should. ”
Lin Qirong waved his hand, "I know you're doing it for my good, so there's no need to say I'm sorry, I just have some feelings."
I didn't expect to meet Wutong's brother and Tongtong's uncle here. ”
"So you agreed to work with him?"
"Cooperation is a thing, it has nothing to do with anyone, if you are satisfied, you will continue, if you are not satisfied, you will change, isn't this how it is here? Besides, I believe you can help me take care of it."
So it's not impossible to give him this opportunity, and it seems that he is quite suitable for this industry. ”
He Yijun looked at him with some concern, "Are you okay?"
After so long, can't Lin Qirong let go of Wu Tongyu?
Lin Qirong shook his head, "I'm fine, don't worry, just take a rest." ”
He Yijun nodded, turned around and left, leaving the space to Lin Qirong.
Zeng Xinyi said that after the accident in Wutong, her family moved to Blue Ocean, and she didn't expect to meet in such a form. ”
Lin Qirong tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest of the chair while thinking, "It seems that Wu Kaishan came here to do this industry after Wutong's accident, and to be able to do this, in addition to his own efforts, there should be someone behind him to help him."
Otherwise, with the cruel competition here, it will be difficult for him to gain a foothold, how can he set up a company so quickly and be the head of the group by himself?
The supporter behind it should be the so-called noble person he said, who could it be? Is it related to the Wutong incident?"
Lin Qirong felt that a layer of fog was slowly being revealed, perhaps he was infinitely close to the truth.
