Chapter 13: The First Recording of "Departure" (Part I)

Thursday, February 24, Bizarre Video Productions. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The office shots of "33 Days of Broken Love" are all taken place in the building where Strange is located.

At around 7 o'clock in the morning, Shen Linzheng led a group of crew creators to survey the site, and the movie was about to start filming.

The shots to be shot today are very short, which are the scenes of Huang Xiaoxian and Wang Xiaobei bickering in the office presented in the film.

Shen Lin prepared two days to shoot these shots.

Movies are rarely shot in the order in which they are portrayed in the script.

The reason is very simple, first, the actors' schedules may not be cooperative, and the cost of the scene - it is impossible to shoot back and forth in a rented scene, and it must be handled centrally for saving!

"Wait for the camera teacher to align these two positions, and the lighting teacher will pick the light a little brighter, not too bright."

Shen Lin pointed to the positions of the two protagonists.

The desks are plastered with all sorts of stickers, and there are several brand advertisements - Ctrip and Meituan.

Legendary product placement!

"Attention teacher, I'm going to collect the sound when I can shoot!"

Low-budget narrative movies are not suitable for Dolby's post-dubbing, and live sound recording is the best choice.

Comrade Zhao Baogang, who is a part-time worker, has not yet arrived at the scene, in fact, the main actors have not yet arrived!

"Everyone is busy eating here, rest for a while, and we will start filming on time at 10 o'clock!"

Shen Lin clapped his hands, signaled the attention of the crew, and then said.

In fact, Shen Lin has been staying in this office since last night, watching the crew turn the originally messy office into a suitable atmosphere for film shooting.

The main creators of the crew are very encouraged, and even the director does it himself, at least it means that Shen Lin is not playing tickets!

In fact, as far as domestic filmmaking is concerned, the director's authority is very great, even if there are many bad film directors.

Because we implement the director-centered production and filming system, the director integrates shooting and editing!

No matter how big-name the actor is on the scene, he must obey the director's deployment, from the moment you take over the movie, the director must go into the water if you ask you to go into the water, even if it is a cold winter!

Of course, big-name actors can ask for stand-ins.

If you don't listen to the director's command, you will be playing a big name, and your reputation will stink!

Even though he didn't rest much all night, Shen Lin was still full of energy, even a little excited.

It's about to get into filming!

……

"Director Shen, let's start recording!"

Opening the crew's lunch, Shen Lin was about to eat something, when two men carrying cameras came over, and next to him stood a middle-aged man with a stack of manuscript paper and a dark green hat.

The one who spoke was the cuckold.

"Record what?"

Shen Lin was a little baffled.

""Departure", tomorrow is Friday, didn't you say that as the first online talk show in China, it is best to launch it at 8 o'clock on Friday?"

it! Forget about this stubble!

"Then let's get started! Power it on now! ”

Shen Lin immediately sat upright.

"Wait a minute, here's the draft!"

As he spoke, the cuckold brother handed over a stack of manuscripts.

"I don't need a manuscript, I'll just talk about it! I'm not Bobo, I still bring a card with me when I record a show, I underestimate me too much! If I say I can't broadcast it, you can just cut it then! ”

Shen Lin waved his hand disappreciatively.

"Hello everyone who loves bizarre, no, you haven't changed your name yet!"

The first sentence scared the cuckold brother enough, Nima, the word that the strange network wants to change its name is always a secret, how do you know?

"I'm Shen Lin, this is the first recording of our "Departure", I'll give you a big news, let's talk about the Oscars!"

"The Oscars, the full name is AcademyAwards, that is, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Awards, the most influential film awards in the world, there is no one! Cannes and Venice can't be compared with it, and many people also think that the Oscars should be the most fair and strict awards in the world, in fact, the Oscars are just a product of the American film industry! ”

"Let's put it this way, the selection of the major Oscar awards is inseparable from the unique lobbying system of the United States!"

"Lobbying, in fact, is very similar to our country's 'walking relationship', of course, compared with the domestic relationship, it is very different, the biggest difference is that he came openly! In the nineteen-thirties of the 19th century, the motto of Sam Ward, the "lobbying king" of Washington, was that "the way to get a congressman's vote is through his stomach." In 1995, the U.S. Congress passed the Federal Lobbying Act, which requires a person to register as a "lobbyist" if he or she spends more than 20% of his paid time in activities to influence policy; Lobbyists may entertain members with meals under $50 at a time, and all expenses in a year may not exceed $100; Former members of the Diet, their assistants, and all civil servants are not allowed to lobby the National Assembly for one year after leaving office.

"Still, rules are just rules, and lobbyists are coming up with more tricks to cover up their behavior. If they can't get enough food and gifts, they buy a lot of books written by congressmen, or "raise donations" for them when they hold events, especially when they are campaigning, and more often ask politicians to "give speeches", and the appearance fee is often as high as two or three hundred thousand US dollars, which can still complete the transfer of benefits. ”

"Of course, if it's so open-board, there are bound to be problems, and political lobbying becomes difficult, but there are still a lot of these companies set up every year, and this lobbying system has been used a lot in the Oscar PR strategy. Similar to politics, Hollywood's lobbying is mainly focused on major awards, and the most important one is, of course, the Oscars! The whole of Hollywood knows that the most successful PR Oscar is Harvey. ”

"We all know that it is very simple for foreigners to choose names, basically whatever the grandfather is called, the child is called, so there are many repeated names. In Hollywood, there are not a thousand but hundreds of Harvey, but when Harvey is mentioned, the only person who can think of him is Harvey Weinstein, the boss of Miramax! ”

"According to incomplete statistics, Harvey's Miramax film has received more than 300 Oscar nominations to date! His best result was at the 1999 Academy Awards, when "Shakespeare in Love" beat "Saving Private Ryan" to win the Oscar for Best Picture! ”

"Known as the most watery Oscar Best Picture in history!"

Of course, Harvey spent about $5 million in PR costs for this award! There is also this year's "The King's Speech", I can say this sentence responsibly, the best film the day after tomorrow will definitely be "The King's Speech", and even the best director may be picked up by Harvey, that is, Tom Hopper, the director of "The King's Speech"; The best actor is estimated to be eight or nine inseparable, and Colin Firth, the male number one of "The King's Speech". ”

Of course, the quality of the film "The King's Speech" itself is not bad, and the other nominated films are really vulnerable, the most competitive is "The Social Network", but it's a pity that David Fincher, its producer is Columbia Pictures, hehe, Hollywood Six, but unfortunately, Colombia has never been very good at public relations! If you are reluctant to spend money, how can you win a prize? ”

"It's like Director Kai Ge's "Farewell My Concubine" lost to "The Lover of Four Thousand Gold", you didn't spend any money, who gave you an award? Do you really think that the Oscars are awarded only on the quality of the film? Chinese filmmakers are too naΓ―ve! ”
