Chapter 381: The Crew of the Investigation
Everything went well, although the investment of the crown princess was only 1 million.
But for Mo Bai's fame, there are still quite a few actors who have been fooled into Mo Bai's flag.
But even so.
Because of limited funds, Mo Bai only recruited more than a dozen actors.
Yes.
Including male protagonist, female protagonist, male protagonist, female supporting ...... and other important roles, and all the roles add up to more than a dozen actors.
Even including the dragon set, adding up, there are only a dozen.
There is no way around it.
Mo Bai calculated that if more actors were recruited, the salary of this actor would be a terrifying number.
In addition, it is also a big expense to eat them.
1 million is a lot for one person, but for the entire crew, it's not like money.
If you lose, let alone 30 episodes of TV series, every episode of TV series may be spent.
There is no way, Mo Bai can only save.
And this province starts with the actors.
Of course, it's not just actors who are provincial, in terms of province, Mo Bai is trying everything he can.
For example, clothing.
Clothing has always been a big investment in shooting.
Especially for cosplay dramas, a series of costumes also cost a lot.
In order to shoot a more aesthetic effect, the costumes worn by the actors must be more atmospheric and high-grade.
However, most of the clothes in the upper grades are too expensive.
In the end, there was no way, Mo Bai pulled some curtains, and the pattern tent made the Taobao store Xiao Er change a few styles that looked good.
Of course, because after all, the money is too small, and the fabric is also less, so in order to save the fabric, it is changed to be lighter and cooler...... This also makes many actors accidentally expose themselves from time to time when performing, revealing a lot of ...... Of course, the kind that is not very yellow and violent...... For example, when posing with a hair dryer, I took a hair dryer and blew it on the actor, and the clothes fluttered in the wind, and Nima's thighs were exposed.
At that time, this shot almost didn't make the photographer vomit blood with laughter, but when Mo Bai saw this scene, his eyes lit up.
He felt like he had caught something.
After thinking about it carefully, Mo Bai realized it slightly.
It turns out that this is the essence of the crown princess.
Why was the crown princess popular in her previous life, in addition to his plot, what is more important is that the whole drama has been in a joyful atmosphere.
This is not only manifested in the actors, but also in the matching between various props and actors.
As long as the audience sees it, they will laugh instantly.
In between, under such a spoof, a series of TV series that are not in line with history and don't feel like a TV series don't have a sense of disobedience.
And to understand this, Mo Bai is also more comfortable in the later filming.
So, later, you'll see a series of shots like this.
"Director, director, I can't eat the durian I bought a few days ago. ”
"If you can't eat it, you can't eat it, isn't it really for you to eat it during filming, isn't there still a durian shell, sew up the shell, and use it again tomorrow ......"
"What about the grapes I bought two days ago?"
"Keep it, wash it, and use it as a prop tomorrow. ”
"Director, what dishes do the concubines in the palace prepare for lunch?"
"What's the dish, it's so expensive, put melon seeds, let them chat while eating melon seeds, how good. ”
……
"Director, the shoes you bought from Taobao are rotten again, I told you, don't buy ten yuan free shipping, it's all a lie. ”
"It's okay, it's okay, let's wear this pair. ”
"Okay, ah...... Sandals. ”
……
"That, Yilun, I'm going to shoot a fight scene in a while, well, it's just a quarrel. When you're angry, you take our prop and throw it to the ground...... Uh, don't, don't fall on the ground, don't break it, you'll have to use it later, fall into the water. ”
"That field service, after the fall, you go and pick up that prop back, rent, it's very expensive. ”
"Also, after filming this scene, we have to shoot a circus, you know, our crew doesn't have much money, this horse is not available, but, as actors, we should shoot the effect of riding a horse when there is no horse, how about it, can we challenge?"
……
"Director, that, our bellows are leaking. ”
"Oh my God, what a bellows, how much does it cost to change one?"
"2000 pieces. ”
"Don't change it, I'll come, I'm not afraid of electricity. ”
……
The whole crew filmed for a month.
Although the crew doesn't have much money, all the actors are special and there is no trick in the strict sense. Because every actor must first wear many hats, that is, to be a role, but also to be a group actor...... So although many actors work hard, they still work hard.
Of course, under Mo Bai's advanced filming theory, the filming process of the crown princess's promotion is also very fast.
Other crews generally shoot an episode in three days, and Mo Bai shoots an episode in one day.
It took a total of 30 days of filming, and the 30-episode TV series ended.
……
"Come on, everyone, thank you for your hard work for more than a month, our drama has finally been filmed. ”
At the finale banquet, Mo Bai, who has always been stingy, finally had a rare generosity and called everyone for a meal.
"I'm sorry, for some other reasons, the crew of this drama is too poor, and everyone has suffered a lot of grievances in the past month or so......"
Holding a wine glass, Mo Bai toasted to a dozen, well, only 10 actors, and 5 behind the scenes.
"Bai Da, you laughed, we are really happy to follow you in acting. ”
"Yes, Bai Da, I have learned a lot from you, and I believe that you will definitely be a good director in the future. ”
"That's, who is Bai Da, in fact, we still have to thank you Bai Da, this is the one with the most lines I have ever received. ”
Everyone replied to Mo Bai.
Although a group of actors haven't made much money for more than a month.
But most of the actors were some tricks before, and they played some extras, and they didn't have a few lines at all.
Even if the hero and heroine are special, they are all small roles, and there will be no more than ten lines in a drama.
Being able to film here in Mobai like this, making money is secondary, and it's really an addiction to filming.
And.
And that's not all.
Mo Bai has always let a group of actors play in their true colors when filming, which also allows a group of actors to play to their full potential when performing.
Although there are a lot of shots that are not very good, occasionally a group of actors really come to a stroke of genius.
It also allowed them to find a trace of confidence and even a hint of their own style.
In any case, they have also gained a lot this month.
"Hehe, Bai Da, I don't know about you yet. To be honest, when I knew that you were filming here more than a month ago, I thought you were trying to have fun, but I didn't expect you to be really filming with your heart. ”
Assistant director Qiu Xiaohua also said with admiration.
He has been in Hengdian Film and Television City for more than ten years, and he has seen all kinds of people.
At first, he thought that Mo Bai was just like some big bosses who got rich quickly, he had a few dollars in his hand, and he felt that filming was fun, so he came to film.
As a result, Mo Bai was not like this, but studied it very seriously and professionally.
Compared with other actors, Mo Bai is even more.
Mo Bai is not only a director, but also a field manager, or a service designer...... Occasionally, he also makes a cameo appearance.
Even if it's over, Mo Bai still has to edit it himself.
As for why Mo Bai didn't invite someone, there was no money, and the 1 million had already been used up.
It is rare for a billionaire like Mo Bai to be able to put so much effort into it.
"Thank you, thank you, and it's an honor to meet you. In any case, to be able to get together is fate. I think we will have the opportunity to work together in the future. Moreover, I also believe that all of you here will also become popular stars in the future......"
Raising a glass again, Mo Bai inspired everyone.
