The executive director is a very important position in the crew, scheduling the shooting scene, contacting the producer and the main director, cutting and planning the script, arranging the shooting plan, and even the labor contracts of the actors and the preparation of the logistics props.

To sum up, it is a very sad job that rushes all the work of the main director, but does not have the rights of the main director.

But having said that, the executive director is also a position that trains a person's pre-preparation ability, on-site control ability and specific shooting ability. The vast majority of directors with serious backgrounds have worked as directors for senior directors for several years.

Mu Ming is doing these jobs now, of course, they are all some less high-end errand jobs. However, he was quite interested in these tasks, especially things like storyboards and shot planning, which he had never been able to access before.

It's a pity that his foundation is too weak, and even if he does it himself, he doesn't know why he does it in many places. Fortunately, Guangyuan also has a film and television major, and he will set aside two days a week to go back to school and ask the teachers or professors of the film and television academy about the doubts he has accumulated this week.

"Meow, whoever dares to tell me that studying is useless, the master will blow up his face. Mu Ming sighed and looked at the thick notebook in his hand, which he had written down for more than a month. There is no way, there is no special academy to study, so you can only redouble your efforts.

Because he ran too hard, several lecturers at the TV Academy have always regarded Mu Ming as a student of the Academy. Once in a college class, a teacher also specially praised Mu Ming. It wasn't until a few senior brothers and sisters who knew Mu Ming's identity laughed out loud that everyone knew that this freshman who ran to the TV Academy every day was actually the Academy of Liberal Arts.

Well, the only good thing is that my popularity has expanded a little bit in Guangyuan. Mu Ming comforted herself after being called to a "cordial" conversation by the instructor of the Faculty of Letters.

Mu Ming's executive director is called Lin Yan, who is a relatively rare female director in the film and television industry. Like Cao Yan, Lin Yan has also cooperated with the main director Teng Huatao more than ten years ago, and has slowly been promoted from assistant director to current executive director.

Therefore, she still has a good impression of Mu Ming, who is willing to follow the crew to learn from the basics, especially after knowing that Mu Ming was arranged by the producer company. After all, these days, it is becoming more and more rare for young people with backgrounds who are not good at being ambitious.

Of course, attitude is one thing, and what is really convincing in every line is ability after all. If it is changed to a young man like Mu Ming, it is the so-called talent.

Mu Ming is not a genius, otherwise he would not have been so ordinary in his previous life. But he still has his own talent, that is, the ability to grasp language and words and the ability to transform text scenes. In terms of literature, Mu Ming's stories will have a strong sense of picture, and in terms of film and television shooting, he can complete the planning and arrangement of the script and the design of the storyboard script very well.

Lin Yan was a little shocked by Mu Ming's talent at the beginning, of course, it was compared with his Xiaobai's qualifications. It wasn't until Lin Yan knew that this young man was a million-selling novel author that she suddenly expressed her understanding.

Because of this, when Lin Yan reported the preparations of the crew to the main director Teng Huatao, she also specially mentioned Mu Ming. After Teng Huatao asked about Mu Ming's identity and learned that he had millions of fans on Weibo, he also asked Lin Yan to inform Mu Ming that he could participate in the crew's start-up press conference.

The boot-up ceremony was also called boot-up worship in the past. In the beginning, it was a rule before the troupe went to a new place to open the stage. It is common to worship the gods and goddesses to pray for prosperity, and then let the harlequin run around the field with a Guan Gong sword, in order to expel the filth and pray for no disaster.

The modern boot ceremony is a rule left over from Hong Kong Films. At that time, the biggest cost of film shooting was film, and once the film was scratched, the so-called "scribing", the entire film was often scrapped, wasting a lot of money.

However, the risk of "scribing" the machine is unavoidable, so the only choice is to cover the camera with a red cloth before the official start-up, and use this method to protect against accidents. In fact, to put it bluntly, it is just a comforting effect.

Later, with the development of the film industry system and the gradual improvement of equipment and technology, "scribing" accidents have rarely occurred. Even if something goes wrong once in a while, there are many remedies for it. The start-up ceremony is gradually becoming less important.

The current start-up ceremony is mostly one of the conventional means of publicity by the crew. The main process is to pull out the leading actor or something and walk around, and then find a few media to take pictures and send a press release. The purpose is to tell the audience that there is such a drama as ours to be filmed, don't forget us.

Therefore, the current start-up ceremony should be called the start-up conference.

Mu Ming is still looking forward to this press conference, first, he has only seen it before, and now he has the opportunity to experience it in person, which is very novel;

He followed the crew for more than a month, and basically saw the director team, the camera crew, and the service lights, and none of the actors were seen. Although Mu Ming doesn't chase stars, he only knows Wen Zhang, Yao Di and Wan Qian as the leading actors in "The Age of Naked Marriage", but it is still more desirable to be able to get in touch with each other.

On the morning of December 20th, the launch conference of "The Age of Naked Marriage" was held in Jingbei Jindi Green Town, where the filming was taken.

There is such a thing as a start-up press conference, and some crews will open it very large, with red carpets and signature walls, which can make you feel like an award ceremony. Some will be very casual, a few leading actors will take off the red cloth of the camera, and the media will ask two questions, and it will be over.

The launch conference of "The Age of Naked Marriage" is in the middle state, not too grand, making a red carpet, and not too casual, but still preparing a venue hall. The press conference started at 9 a.m., and just after 8 a.m., the media area of the venue was already full of reporters from major media.

In recent years, the leading actor Wen Zhang has been widely known for his "Struggle", "Snail House" and "Ocean Paradise" several plays, which is just the time when he is popular; director Teng Huatao's "Double-sided Tape", "Wang Gui and Anna", and "Snail House" have also been well received, and he is a well-known TV drama director inside and outside the industry; the heroine Yao Di made her debut in the "Dream of Red Mansions" draft, although she has no masterpieces, but she is still popular. There is a lot of news material for these alone, so the media are still very active.

Because there is no need to walk the red carpet, an actor rushed to the backstage early to start putting on makeup, and Mu Ming finally saw several leading actors for the first time. It's a pity that Mu Mingren has a low position, and there are no idols and actors he liked in his previous life in the leading role, so he just stands in the corner and watches.
