The success of a film requires the close cooperation and cooperation of a team, and it is often not the credit of the director and actors alone. Other film crews are just as important.

When we watch a movie, we can often see the director, starring, producer, producer and other main filmmakers of the film at the beginning of the movie. At the end of the movie, there will be a more detailed list of production credits, including editors, lighting, makeup artists, art directors, set designers, and so on.

Although "Old Boy" is only a micro-film, although the sparrow is small, it is impossible to omit the gaffer or other roles because the film is short and the investment is not large. Of course, there are also some small teams that only have a few people to get all the content when they schedule some simple micro-films, but you can know how the effect of the micro-films shot by this way is.

As the first work of Guanghui Film and Television, Jiang Hui hopes that "Old Boy" can be filmed in accordance with the staffing of normal cinema films, so that the team can quickly start the next project in the future. And as the company's first work, although the fire will definitely be very popular, Jiang Hui also hopes to make the picture texture of "Old Boy" as good as possible, the personnel makeup more comfortable, and the editing smoother.

A few days later, Zhao Gang came to Jiang Hui's office with a list of personnel.

"Mr. Jiang, after communicating with some technical masters of our station, as well as classmates and friends who work in other film and television companies, I have preliminarily drawn up a list of crew members and introduced them to you for confirmation," Zhao Gang said.

Jiang Hui took the list handed over by Zhao Gang and looked at it.

The producer and producer are empty, and it is estimated that they are waiting for Jiang Hui to decide.

Producers are generally responsible for the pre-market research of the film, to see if there is a future in the film market of similar films (such as box office situation, popularity, possibility of a sequel, etc.), and to decide whether the film is worth producing through the investigation. To put it more colloquially, the producer often points out the legal representative of the employer or the big names in the film and television industry who are helpful to the sales of the film. The commercial nature of the film determines that the producer is the master of the film, and has the right to decide all the affairs of the film, including what kind of script to shoot, hire directors, photographers, actors and send film producers to manage the production funds on its behalf, review the shooting funds and control the whole process of filming. The role of the producer of "Old Boy", Jiang Hui is ready to take on it himself.

The producer is the master of the entire crew, and the highest authority of the film crew has the right to decide on the hiring of outstanding members, and also has the right to fire members who violate discipline in the crew. From the completion of the film to the release of the film, he is the core character of the whole film. Jiang Hui, the producer of "Old Boy", is ready to let He Ling take the role.

Many people usually confuse producers with producers, but there is a big difference between the two. If the company is defined as an analogy, the producer is equivalent to the chairman (the investor, corporate legal person or authority person), and the producer is like the president (the person in charge of the overall situation). In the Celestial Empire, although there are also many producers who also sign the position of producer, there is still a big difference between the two positions, just like the chairman of the board of directors and the general manager, it does not mean that the chairman and the general manager are the same role.

"Mr. Jiang, let me introduce you. Xiao Liang, the counselor, is a college classmate of mine who now works for a film and television company, and the two of us have been familiar with each other since college and know each other's styles, so I invited him to partner with me. Supporting actors Zhang Wenyu, He Haibo and several others are some of my alumni, and some actors I have been in contact with in my work in the past few years, although these people are not famous at the moment, but I think they still have basic strength, but they lack an opportunity, so I pulled them into the crew of "Old Boy". In addition, the field affairs are ......", Zhao Gang introduced the situation of the people on the list to Jiang Hui one by one.

"Let's just follow this, in addition, you make a list of equipment purchases, list the equipment that needs to be used in the filming process, as well as the relevant equipment used in post-processing, and I will arrange personnel to procure," Jiang Hui said.

Three hundred and sixty lines, the line is the champion. For professional matters, leave it to professional personnel to deal with it. Therefore, Jiang Hui did not raise any objections to the list given by Zhao Gang, but only told him that he would be the producer, and He Ling, the deputy general manager of Guanghui Film and Television, would be the producer.

The film and television industries in the imperial capital are the most developed in the country, so whether it is recruiting people or renting photography equipment, it is relatively simple.

Guanghui Film and Television's own shooting equipment has not been purchased yet, and after Zhao Gang makes a list of desired needs, Jiang Hui will arrange personnel to purchase it. Before that, I rented equipment to shoot, and then I could use my company's equipment for the next scene.

The first time I saw making a movie, it was really not that simple. In the past few days, just looking at Zhao Gang's arrangements for the preparation of cameras, lighting equipment, film films, tracks and rail cars for cameras, large and small rocker arms for cameras, props, scenery for sets, various costumes, cosmetics, recording equipment, office supplies, transportation, etc., which match the era of the film's story, Jiang Hui feels that it is too correct to find professionals to do professional things.

After a series of preparations, on October 1, the first work of Guanghui Film and Television "Old Boy" was finally launched in the middle school affiliated to the Imperial University of Technology.

In the current Chinese film and television industry, whenever a new film starts shooting, there must be a start-up ceremony. In fact, it is to choose a good day and an auspicious day to engage in a worship ceremony. Generally speaking, at the opening ceremony, the table used for worship is covered with red velvet cloth, and the table is dedicated to Emperor Guan, flanked by incense burners and roast suckling pig and delicious fruits. Usually the camera is covered with a red cloth, and then the main crew members worship the gods in turn, and finally lift the red cloth of the machine to announce the start-up.

You have to ask who they are worshipping? In fact, there is no universal requirement for everyone to worship which god they should worship together. The crew worships whoever they have in their hearts, Buddha, Bodhisattva, various immortals or Master Guan, and the father-in-law of the land...... The main thing is to respect one's profession, have a sense of awe for what he shoots, and pray that the shooting will go smoothly and nothing will happen.
