Chapter 136: Boot (I)
A few days later, the filming permit for filing and approval was down, and it was originally a little troublesome for the small crew to get a filming permit, but after asking Lin Jianguo to help someone say the last sentence, although the relevant departments replied very ambiguously, saying that if the qualification inspection is passed, the content is legal and there are no violations, it will pass, but if the audit is found to be unqualified, there is no way.
But the filming permit was approved quickly, and now the government is very efficient, and Xu Tian is 100% confident that he will definitely be able to come up with the filming permit, so he recruited good actors early.
After getting the filming permit, Xu Tian immediately asked Lin Jianguo to help contact and recruit a group of reliable crew professionals, of course, the actor needs to find his own palm, and some other trivial things, such as costumes, props, makeup and photography, and lighting crew, these can't always be done by him, even if there is a Shenhuo clone, it is in vain, he must find someone to come.
As the producer and chief director, and the second male lead, he has taken on so many tasks, at least the on-site production and life production still have to be taken care of by other special personnel, as well as the assistant director and executive director are also essential, and found a young executive director named Wang Lin from the director team of last year's hit film "Turning the Stars" to serve as a young executive director, although he is only 23 years old, he is very capable, and the executive director is also looking for an outstanding newcomer who can bear hardships and stand hard work, named Han Li.
As for the external production that is responsible for visiting businesses and enterprises to attract some sponsorship, there is no need for Xu Tianke, and Xu Tianke does not want his debut film to be polluted by the advertisements and amateur suggestions of a large number of capitalists.
Of course, the main reason why Xu Tian is so fearless is that he is not bad for money.
What do you need to sponsor if you don't have bad money?
"When you go to Treasure Island to shoot, remember to find an old and dilapidated mountain village surrounded by mountains and rivers, preferably a mountain village that maintains the original appearance of the sixties and seventies, and remember that there must be an ancestral hall, which is the key stage for the ninth uncle and apprentice to fight zombies. β
This is Xu Tian's instruction to the on-site producer Fu Chunhua, Mr. Zombie was filmed in Taiwan, the Taiwan of the Azure Star is the treasure island on the other side of the strait, the mainland has developed rapidly in recent years, demolition and relocation in various places, urbanization has become inevitable, and now looking at the whole continent, it is really not easy to find an authentic rural area, especially the kind of wooden old house with ancestral hall.
There is only Taiwan that may have such a pure land.
Costumes and props have given life producer Jiang Yiheng a headache, and he is responsible for making or renting a large number of Republic of China costumes.
After Xu Tian explained the tasks, he just asked these Lin Jianguo to help introduce them, and then let the reliable deputies he hired spend a lot of money to carry them out.
are all professionals who were poached from other crews at high prices, and Xu Tian is not worried about the details at all, he is only responsible for directing and acting.
I have to say that the on-site producer Fu Chunhua did things really well, he only went to Taiwan for three days to investigate, and ran non-stop to several rural areas, and then there was good news - the filming location has been determined, and it is set in a place called Xianzhou Ancient Town.
When he saw the photos of the scene he sent, Xu Tian expressed his satisfaction, the old wooden house, the spacious ancestral hall, the antique street market, and the dirty manger...... That's right, that's how it feels!
Xu Tian didn't need to go to the field to recognize this scene, although there was no coincidence to be 100% similar, but the temperament was absolutely suitable!
The initial preparations are almost over, Xu Tian immediately contacted the actors, met with them separately and made an appointment with the corresponding agent and signed a contract, which took a week, and immediately set off for Xianzhou Ancient Town, Taiwan, ready to start shooting Xu Tian's first debut film as a director - "Mr. Zombie"!
This day is July 27th!
Weather, cloudy!(I like to write a diary you bite me?)
The sky was gloomy and gloomy, revealing a suppressed sense of suffocation, as if it indicated some kind of ominousness, but what kind of bird did Xu Daxian and his party do? Including the few members of the director team and the two female opera students who did not have a private car, they were all sitting in the first class cabin of the plane, high above the clouds, playing their own games to pass the boring long time.
ββIt's really long, starting from Zhonghai Hongqiao Airport, it takes more than two hours to get to Taipei, and then wait for two or three hours to get to the car, and wait until the car sits to Xianzhou Ancient Town, it takes more than an hour, which is still to eliminate traffic jams and other unexpected factors, that is to say, this afternoon does not have to do anything to rush to the road, wait to the place to pack up and check into the hotel, and then sleep beautifully, the day will pass.
After getting off the passenger plane, Xu Tian and his entourage opened an hourly suite at the airport hotel, and sat and waited for the rest of the director team to drive over from the mainland on the other side of the strait to pick them up - at this time, if he was writing, Xu Tian must have to remind the reader that the car would not be driven from the sea, of course, it would be driven to the cruise ship by ferry, so that some people could not understand the academic question of asking how the car could cross the sea.
The reader is really a very magical existence, and it is obviously a very normal phenomenon, but there will be some strange comments and comments back and forth, like a curious baby.
After about three hours, the ferry came.
A total of five cars came, one was a van used by the crew, which was used to install props and equipment, and one was Xu Tian's million-seater Alpha, which was used to install people, and the remaining three were the private cars of several veteran stars. The male No. 3 Huang Zhihua who plays Wencai is a Mercedes-Benz RV of more than 700,000 yuan, and the male No. 1 Zhou Fengtai who plays the ninth uncle is relatively much more low-key, the car is a BMW 5 series, or low-profile, 400,000, and the remaining one is a Buick GL8 business car of more than 300,000 yuan driven by Zhou Fengtai's agent, which contains the old actor Xu Zhen who played the role of Master Ren and the unpopular actor Qian Miao who played the captain of the police force.
"The actors didn't put on a fight, or did mavericks, and they came to pick us up at the airport, such a united team, I should be successful this start-up. β
After greeting each other when they met, Xu Tian sat on the belated Alpha, and Cao Zhiqiang, the life producer of the same company, couldn't help but smile with satisfaction, and by the way, he patted the production director and chief director and Xu Tian's second male lead, "It's all thanks to Director Xu." β
Xu Tian smiled and didn't speak.
All of them were invited by me at a price far exceeding their worth, can you not scold me?
As the producer of this film, Xu Tian is responsible for all the sponsorship and investment, which is equivalent to saying that he is the God of Wealth for all actors, and the actors certainly respect him.
