Chapter 283: Beginning

In late October, the main cast of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was determined to need to enter the crew for a period of training. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Just filming a TV series, it won't be too hard, the martial arts instructor will design martial arts actions according to the characteristics and role requirements of each person, and of course, too dangerous actions will be completed by a stand-in.

Xu Jinglei received a notice and asked her to report to the crew.

This matter must be reported to the head teacher, and leave must be requested, and the school teacher has the responsibility to protect the safety of students, verify the authenticity of the crew, and don't run into any messy crew.

In the acting department, in the third year, the teacher encourages students to go out to take on the drama, and will also create opportunities for students to film.

Xu Jinglei was able to play the heroine for the first time, and she started very well, the play "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is quite famous as both the director and the actors, and Yu Feihong is taking care of her, which makes the teacher very relieved.

This drama was filmed in the capital, and the crew provided accommodation for the actors, and the actors could also choose to go home, as long as the filming was not delayed.

Xu Jinglei's salary for filming an episode is 800 yuan, and the total is more than 10,000 yuan, which is very low compared to Chen Daoming.

No way, who let her not graduate and have no fame.

The reason why Zhang Jizhong chose Xu Jinglei is related to the salary, if he wants to shoot a big scene, he has to reduce the actor's salary as much as possible.

According to the current market in the film and television industry, as long as they have filmed two dramas, a little famous actress will be paid 2,000 per episode, and famous actors will be more than 5,000 per episode.

The current situation in China is that the film industry is sluggish, but TV dramas are very popular.

A well-known screenwriter costs thousands of yuan to write an episode of a TV series, and the salary of actors is rising steadily, and the directors who originally made movies have begun to switch careers to make TV series.

Lose money when making movies, and make TV series as long as they are not shoddy, they can be sold.

The audience has a great demand for TV dramas, and ordinary people need TV programs for daily entertainment.

This year, China had 280,000 television sets, more than 800 million TV viewers, and produced no less than 7,000 TV episodes, of which 350 episodes were produced by the Beijing Television Art Center.

These data are enough to show the prosperity of the domestic TV drama market.

However, correspondingly, there are no TV series like "Desire" and "Beijingers in New York" that have caused a huge sensation, and even high-quality TV series are rare.

People are used to following the herd rather than innovating.

For example, after joking about the popularity of historical dramas, there have been no less than a dozen similar TV series in the past two years, which are too proliferating.

The audience feels fresh after watching it for the first time, and they will naturally get bored after watching it too much.

Taking this year's Golden Oriole Award as an example, the organizing committee collected at least 300,000 ballots distributed through newspapers in previous years, but only 100,000 were received this year, which shows that audience participation is declining.

Or they think that there are no good-looking TV series, so they don't bother to participate.

The entry of private capital into the film and television industry, on the one hand, has brought prosperity to the TV drama industry, and on the other hand, it has lowered the level of TV drama production.

Just like Lin Zixuan's investment of 3 million to shoot a martial arts drama, it is quite risky.

If it succeeds, it will set off a trend of making martial arts dramas, and once it fails, it will become a laughing stock in the industry.

Xu Jinglei didn't realize that she was participating in a very risky project, she was not familiar with the whole industry, and for her, she just had to act well.

Before leaving film school, she went to find Lin Xiaoling.

Lin Xiaoling is still struggling with the script, and has not completed the homework given by Zheng Dongtian, it is not easy to write a good script for a literary film, and it needs to be polished over and over again.

If it's a commercial movie, the plot doesn't need to be too rigorous, as long as the scene is hot enough and the actors are cool enough.

However, as a literary film, especially this kind of detail-oriented literary film, the rationality of the plot is particularly important.

For example, the role of the old lady, how her character is formed, and what her life experience is like, must be explained clearly, and a character with a full personality and flesh and blood must be created.

Lin Xiaoling wants to write a personal biography for this old lady.

The old lady has gone to school, is educated, has a little clear and high in her bones, and does not like to mingle with the old ladies around her, she was a soldier when she was young, carried a gun, and has a stubborn temperament.

Her husband died within a few years of marriage, and she has been single until now, her children are not around, she is lonely, but she doesn't want to be known, these character traits must be shown through her daily interactions with girls.

What happens when she is reasonable, what happens when she doesn't, and what happens when she wants to comfort people.

Countless details of life have tortured Xiaoling's classmates to death, and there is still a lot of work to be done in the middle to turn the materials of the visit into a solid script.

Lin Xiaoling wants to start filming her own movie this winter, so she has to work hard.

The filming cycle of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is about two to three months, and the filming will be completed before the end of the year, which will not affect "The Two of Us".

When Lin Xiaoling was busy, Jia Zhangke did not give up his script.

He asked his classmates in the Department of Management to make a budget on how much money would be needed to shoot "Little Hill Home", which was carried out according to the normal operating process of a movie, including the rental of cameras and the salaries of each person.

They calculated that it would take about 100,000 yuan.

Although the students of the film school are not bad for money, it is very difficult to make up 100,000 yuan, and 10,000 or 20,000 yuan is about the same.

Next, Jia Zhangke pondered how to save money, the plot of "Little Mountain Goes Home" is simple, it can be completed by just a few people, and it doesn't take too much time to shoot.

If everyone doesn't get paid, they can save a lot of money.

A classmate said that his father worked at the newspaper, and the newspaper bought a new camera, but he never used it, so we borrowed it first to shoot the film, and then returned it after the shooting.

A student in the recording department said that they had a tape recorder in their department and could discuss it with the department leader.

That's the advantage of being in a film school, where you can brainstorm whatever kind of shooting equipment you want to use, and you just need to make do with it, but even if you have shooting equipment, you need other funds.

The film costs money, travel and food expenses during filming, the cost of inviting group performers, editing after filming, and mixing.

The preliminary estimate is that it will take 50,000 yuan to complete the film.

Everyone discussed it, then put it together, those who have money will pay, those who don't have money will contribute, Jia Zhangke himself took out a few thousand yuan, which he earned by writing scripts as a gunman.

The other classmates made up about 20,000 yuan in total.

This money is not enough to finish the film, but it is already ready to start, and you don't need to take out all the funds at once to make a movie, as long as you follow the schedule step by step, and the rest of the funds will be talked about later. (To be continued.) )
