The advanced prosperity of China's film and television industry is not simply composed of good directors and good actors, but more importantly, it has a complete system, the most important of which is the trade union system.

Thanks to the superiority of the political system, there are many trade unions in China's film and television industry: from the director's union, the actors' union, to the makeup artist's union, and the on-site workers' union.

To join a trade union, you need to pay money, and you have to pay a dues every year, but the corresponding thing is the protection of the trade union for you - the trade union will guarantee your legitimate rights and interests, and prevent the occurrence of evil things such as wage arrears, so everyone is happy to join the trade union, and the members of the trade union are extremely large, which also creates the convenience of establishing a group.

What position do you need? Just go to the corresponding trade union, I dare not say that I will be able to find the excellent, and the level is slightly passable.

This is still in the environment of Nanyang, if you go to Hengdian, it will be more efficient, after all, it is the most developed place in China's film and television industry, and countless film and television personnel with dreams gather there, looking forward to an opportunity.

Thanks to the help of the trade union, the crew was basically formed on the third day, and the script had already been copied and sent down for the actors to hurry up and familiarize themselves with it, and the filming officially started on the seventh day.

The filming location was selected at the Xianlin Film and Television Base in the eastern suburbs of Nanyang City, and the crew rented an area, which happened to have a large warehouse, which was very suitable for the set of this movie.

The set crew was the first to get to work, setting up the main scenes needed for the script, and Duane was involved in the whole process, but when the set designer Chen Song asked him, "Is this good? Do you need to add something?", he said "Okay, good, perfect!" Response.

Because of the director's good speech, the set designer Chen Song felt that this was the easiest job he had ever done, and the cost was very low - so that the producer was also happy, and everyone was happy.

It doesn't get much more satisfying than that.

In order to save money, Shu Yu did not charter any hotel in Xianlin Film and Television Base, but took the way of shooting: all the personnel came to work on time and went home after work. This saves a lot of money, and of course, our producers are not too stingy, and the transportation expenses are still paid, which is already indicated in the contract as a form of subsidy.

On this day, as the first day of filming, a start-up ceremony will be held, no matter whether there is a drama or not today, they have arrived early, and the personnel are unprecedentedly complete, but the director has not yet come.

Seeing that there were still five minutes before the start of the show at 9 o'clock in the morning, but the director had not yet arrived, the on-site personnel were waiting a little impatiently, looking around, and some people ran outside the area to check.

Shu Yu grabbed a drama agent who walked by and asked, "Where is Director Du?"

The drama manager looked at her innocently, "I didn't see it." ”

Shu Yu let go of him, took out his mobile phone and wanted to call and urge, but when he opened the phone cover, he remembered one thing - that guy didn't have a mobile phone.

Damn it!

Shu Yu, who has always been as calm as water, couldn't help but curse in his heart.

But fortunately, there are still landlines, I just hope this landline can contact him.

Just as Shu Yu was about to hit the fixed word, a voice came from a distance.

"The director is here!"

Shu Yu turned his head to look at the exit, and Du An's was hurrying over.

The staff looked at the top leader of the crew with interest, but the next second they were dumbfounded.

The one who shouted, are you sure this is the director, not the migrant worker?

On the upper body, there was a good (a cheap textile material in the last century) inferior shirt, because the weather was too hot, the sleeves reached the elbows, the lower body was obviously a large black trousers, the lower edge of the trousers still had some mud stains, and on the feet was a pair of old sports rubber shoes, and the upper of one shoe was cracked and glued with white glue.

This is a full migrant worker.

As the leading actor, Zhang Jiayi was a little dumbfounded.

Duane had been sitting there during the interview that day, so he didn't look closely, and now he saw the whole picture.

What kind of dress is this director? Is it popular to be a migrant worker now?

The atmosphere was a little weird for a while.

"Hello everyone. ”

As Duane got closer and closer, he found that everyone was looking at him stupidly, and he couldn't help but be a little restrained, and subconsciously looked down at himself.

There's no problem, he took a special look in the mirror before going out today.

So he didn't care, walked to Shu Yu's side, opened his head and looked around, "Ready to start shooting, right?"

Shu Yu pursed her lips, her eyes flowing, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she just said: "First of all, we have to hold a start-up ceremony." ”

Duane was stunned.

He thought he would start filming today.

"Oh, let's have a ceremony. ”

After the start-up ceremony was held in an orderly manner, the first scene of filming was about to start.

Sitting behind the monitor, looking at the old man Du An beside him sitting comfortably in the director's chair, squinting his eyes as if he was about to fall asleep, Shu Yu sighed secretly in his heart.

In order to save costs and invest more money in the production of the film, she did not hire another producer, but became the producer herself - the producer has the responsibility of the producer, and many times the producer is also the producer, which is not to blame.

She opened her mouth, but after all, she couldn't ask what she wanted to ask, but changed the subject.

"Why are you here so late?"

"Traffic jams. ”

Duane replied to her without changing his face.

God knows that he was not in a traffic jam at all, but because the bus was late.

As a director, he has preferential treatment, and other people's transportation subsidies are according to the bus standard, but his transportation subsidy is according to the taxi standard, but in order to save money, Duane takes the bus every day - it costs sixteen to take a taxi, and it only costs one piece to take the bus, and he can save fifteen yuan a day!

No, counting the back and forth, it's thirty yuan!

God, now an ordinary worker's salary is more than 30 a day, and he has so much transportation subsidies every day, so when I think about it, the director's job is really good.

But this point can't be known to Shu Yu, otherwise maybe she will revise her transportation subsidy standard?

Shu Yu asked again, "Aren't you going to guide the move?"

Duane didn't raise his eyelids, "I think they're doing quite well, there's nothing to guide." ”

It was probably Duan's passive and slacking appearance that finally stimulated Shu Yu, a woman who had never spoken plainly, raised her voice for the first time.

"Are you really a director?!"

Du An was stunned for a moment, and then began to panic in his heart, but he looked at Shu Yu with a puzzled expression.

"What do you mean?"

Shu Yu asked again: "Are you really a graduate of the Chinese opera directing department?"

Of course, she didn't expect Duane to answer truthfully, she just wanted to find some evidence from Duane's face that could prove her guess.

It's a pity that Du An's acting skills are admired by professional actor Zhang Jiayi.

"Of course!"

Du An's indignation, the unhappiness and indignation of being questioned were all expressed on his face, and this expression was so true that Shu Yu wondered if his speculation was wrong.

Duane even took out the fake certificate made for twenty yuan from his satchel.

"I'll lie, the certificate won't lie, right?!"

God can see mercy, the matter of pretending to be a graduate of the Chinese opera directing department has always been a bomb, which makes Duane feel unsure, so he always carries this certificate with him, and today it came in handy again.

Shu Yu stopped talking.

Seeing this, Duane breathed a sigh of relief and stuffed the certificate back into his bag.

The argument here was just a small fragment, and it didn't make a single wave, and filming soon began.

Duane, who didn't know how to shoot at all, was filmed in exactly the order of the script, so the first scene to be filmed was when Han Sheng woke up in the bathtub.

The actor who played Han Sheng is called Zhu Yuchen, who graduated from the Chinese Opera Performance Department last year, and signed a small brokerage company after graduation.

He has been fighting a lawsuit with the company for the past year, and he finally got the lawsuit down a while ago, and finally recovered his free body, and then he happened to catch up with Duane's crew to recruit people, so he entered the group smoothly.

Although the process was smooth, Zhu Yuchen's posture was very low, and he cherished this opportunity very much-he had been hidden in the snow for a year, and he was finally able to come out to film, or a movie, can he not cherish it?--It's just that the director who dressed like a migrant worker really made him feel uneasy. Maybe people just like to follow this kind of style? I heard that those big directors have their own quirks.

Zhu Yuchen could only comfort himself like this.

All the personnel are in place, just waiting for the director to give orders.

Seeing that those people did not move after they were in place, Duane was stunned for a moment.

Why haven't they started yet?

Shu Yu next to him also looked over, and he could see the suspicion in his eyes clearly.

Duane was anxious, and then he was in a hurry, and he was blessed to the heart, and suddenly shouted:

"Let's go!"

"Flutter!"

Zhu Yuchen, who was lying in the bathtub, heard this nondescript shout, he didn't hold his breath for a while, burst out laughing, and then choked on the water, got up, and coughed loudly.

The staff around them all looked like they wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and the photographer couldn't help it, the camera swayed.

Every director has his own slogan that he is used to shouting, the most common is "start", and there are some personalizations, such as Director Chen likes to shout "GO", but Duane's local and unimposing password is the first time the photographer has heard it.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll do it again. ”

Zhu Yuchen, who finally coughed up the water in his trachea, quickly apologized, and then obediently climbed back into the bathtub.

Only Du An and Shu Yu didn't laugh in the audience, one of them didn't know where the laughter was, and the other was holding his thighs tightly, for fear that he couldn't help but question Du An next to him again, and even quarreled.

After the personnel were in place again, Duane saw that everything was okay and shouted "Let's go!" again.

After laughing just now, everyone got used to it, and finally no one laughed anymore, and the shooting went smoothly.

Soon, however, Duane saw many more people looking at him suspiciously.

Now he finally understood a little, glanced at the shooting schedule, and quickly shouted "Stop!", then flipped through the book twice, pondered in his heart, and shouted: "Next!"

But things don't always go your way.

Zhu Yuchen didn't prepare for the next one, but walked over.

This young man who was the same age as Duane looked entangled at the moment, hesitated for a long time, and then said: "Director, I don't think I acted very well just now, do you want to do it again?"

When he performed just now, he somehow thought of the "walking" just now, although he didn't laugh anymore, but he could feel that he was laughing, and the shot was a big close-up, and the photographer squatted on him with the camera, and he must have captured that laugh clearly.

According to the script, Han Sheng woke up in an unfamiliar environment at that time, he should be panicked and uneasy, how could he laugh?

"I think it's good, it's perfect!"

The two words that Duane said the most in the past two days were probably "perfect", and he found that this was really a good word that could be used for a perfunctory expression.

Zhu Yuchen was entangled, "No, director, I really didn't act well just now, why don't you play it back?"

Duane had no choice but to let the person next to him play it back.

Thanks to the fact that he is a director, he can order others to do things openly, otherwise he really won't be able to do it.

"Look at you!"

Zhu Yuchen pointed to himself on the picture and laughed embarrassedly, "I laughed, but I didn't express my feelings well." ”

Duane really doesn't know how this actor is so axial.

He racked his brain for a moment, and then said as he organized his words, "Hmm...... Actually, I just think your smile is good...... How so?...... Well...... This smiling expression expresses a tragic style of postmodernism and dissatisfaction with the real society...... Well, that's probably it...... In short, it has the purpose of improving the effect of the film and strengthening the artistic connotation of the film...... Hey, you don't understand it too much, it's good anyway!"

Zhu Yuchen was stunned for a while, only thinking that he didn't understand but looked very powerful, and Du An hurriedly drove him back to his post.

He still scraped the nonsense just now, and he didn't know what to say if he continued to talk.

Smack

Duane looked sideways, and his heart was torn.

The pencil in Shu Yu's hand was broken in two.

Duane swallowed his saliva, put on a smile, and greeted with concern: "Producer Shu, what's wrong with you?"

Shu Yu shook his head, "It's nothing. ”

Then she suddenly laughed.

This was the first time Duane had seen this woman laugh - perhaps not a smile, the corners of her mouth did not move, but her eyes narrowed, a state that seemed to be a smile but not a smile.

"Director Du, you shoot slowly, I'm a little ahead of schedule. ”

Shu Yu finished speaking and left, but her expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling kept lingering in Duane's mind.

For some reason, he suddenly felt a "tragic style of postmodernism".
