Chapter 3 Creating Opportunities
…
To this day, he only knows that Li Zhu's family is a film family, his father is the "father of movies" Li Liwei, his mother is the first generation of movie stars in Xiangjiang, Lin Chu, his sister is the famous actors Li Laoxuan and Li Haohao, his brother is Li Jian, a famous Chinese child star in the thirties, and his sister is Shen Changhuan, the former secretary general of the The President of the Republic of China government.
Later, when the older generation died, he also suffered from meningitis, deafness, amblyopia, and discord with his older sisters. Therefore, the family slowly fell into the middle of the road, until now - he works at the fitness club, and Sister-in-law Li drives a truck to support the family.
However, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the Li family is a film family after all, so Li Zhu still knows some people in the film and television industry. Li Wo, the prop master of "Dream of Red Mansions", is Li Zhu's cousin. And the lucky Xu Cun also got into the crew of "Dream of Red Mansions" on the seventh day of coming to Xiangjiang because of Li Zhu's relationship.
……
Li Wo is a thin middle-aged man in his forties, who has been a prop master for more than 20 years, and is also a little famous in the film and television industry.
After meeting, Li Wo first exchanged a few words with Li Zhu, then looked Xu Cun up and down, and asked Xu Cun: "How old is it?"
"Twenty. Xu Cun replied respectfully.
Xu Cun's respect made Li Wo feel a little good, and he asked Xu Cun again: "Have you practiced martial arts?"
"I practiced Bajiquan for a while in my early years. Xu Cun replied respectfully.
Li Wo was slightly surprised and said, "Oh, you have also practiced Bajiquan!" and then he said with a little interest: "Let me see if he fights again." ”
Xu Cun was not ambiguous, and immediately played a set of baji boxing decently.
After Xu Cun put away his fist, Li Wo nodded lightly and said: "It's okay, the boxing is practiced well, but the heat is a little worse, practice well, and I will introduce you as a dragon and tiger martial artist when I have the opportunity." Now, you're going to do chores in the props team first, eighteen dollars a day, okay?"
After being reborn, Xu Cun took two hours to practice martial arts almost every day, but what he practiced was not Bajiquan, but the Fang Zhong Shu in the Emperor's Outer Classics - Fang Zhong Shu was brought out in a large tomb by a tomb robber friend in Xu Cun's previous life. In the previous life, Xu Cun did not get the atrial surgery until he was fifty, but even so, Xu Cun also received a lot of benefits from the atrial surgery. In this life, of course, Xu Cun can't miss this miracle!
And Xu Cun's ambition is not martial arts.
Therefore, his Bajiquan is destined to never be refined.
……
Xu Cun, who has been in the film and television industry for twenty or thirty years, definitely has the strength to make movies, but he lacks an indispensable condition for making movies - connections
After all, no matter how powerful Xu Cun is, he is only one person, and a movie can never be completed by just one person.
Therefore, as soon as he joined the crew, Xu Cun began to deliberately make friends with talents he could use.
Pity......
Xu Cun's status is too low, so that he can only get in touch with some dragon sets, dragon and tiger martial artists, and some unknown young actors, as for those talents he can use, even if he uses money to open the way, he can't make friends.
Xu Cun knew that if he wanted to get in touch with those talents, he had to climb up!
……
It is often said that opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared. However, Xu Cun believes more: the opportunity is created by himself!
Zhao Bao, the photography assistant of the photography group, is the apprentice of photographer Lin Chao, who has studied photography with Lin Chao for seven years, and is also a good photographer.
On the twelfth day of Xu Cun's entry into the crew, Lin Chao temporarily asked director Li Hanxiang for half a day off to let Zhao Bao hold the machine.
Hearing the news, Xu Cun said secretly: "The opportunity I'm waiting for has come!"
When distributing the lunch box at noon, Xu Cun zài Zhao Bao's lunch box poured croton juice that he had been preparing for many days.
didn't wait for the machine to start, Zhao Bao couldn't move.
Coincidentally, in the afternoon, I caught up with the play of Lin Qingxia, Zhang Aijia, and Mi Yan.
It can be seen from this how annoyed Li Hanxiang is!
Just as Li Hanxiang was about to take charge of the camera himself, Xu Cun came to Li Hanxiang's side and said, "Uncle Xiang, I have studied photography for a while, otherwise, you will let me try it?"
"You?" Li Hanxiang glanced at Xu Cun and recognized that Xu Cun was just a handyman in the crew. Then Li Hanxiang wanted to drive Xu Cun, a kid who didn't know the height of the sky, away. However, thinking of the current situation, Li Hanxiang hesitated again, and after a while, he said to Xu Cun: "Sit down and try it." ”
Hearing this, Xu Cun immediately sat down behind the camera, then turned on and focused cleanly, and then said to Li Hanxiang: "Uncle Xiang, I have no problem with this." ”
The layman looks at the excitement, and the insider looks at the doorway - Li Hanxiang, who has been a director for decades, knows Xu Cunxing as soon as he sees Xu Cun's movements, and then looks at Xu Cun's immovable hands, and knows that Xu Cun's photography level is not much worse.
The next shooting proves Li Hanxiang's gaze - Xu Cun's photography level is no longer below Lin Chao, and the conversion of several lenses makes Li Hanxiang's eyes shine.
After only half a day of shooting, Li Hanxiang remembered the bold Xu Cun.
The next day, Xu Cun worked as a photography assistant for Zhao Bao, who was still weak-legged, for a day, and then took the initiative to work as a handyman.
After that, Xu Cun worked hard and did chores in the props team, as if the photography had never happened for half a day......
……
A few days later, Marven tripped over a wire and rolled down a two-meter-high rockery when he was facing the scene, breaking his right arm.
Xu Cunzài, who saw this scene from a distance, said apologetically: "I'm sorry, brother, I can't let you stand in my way." ”
……
Scene notes play a very important role in film and television dramas - he not only plays the board, but also has to check and record the scene number, lens number, shooting content, shooting method, lens length, actors' dialogues, costumes, and props, so as to ensure that several scenes and numerous shots are shot smoothly, and provide several jù and materials for post-editing, dubbing, printing, etc. In addition, it is necessary to record the director's requirements for the picture, such as how to storyboard, scenes, etc., as well as details, such as: what clothes the actors wear in this scene, what shoes need to be used in which scene, etc.
All in all, the field notes are very important, and not everyone can do it. At the very least, the scene reporter must understand photography and know the lens language. It is no exaggeration to say that a good scene can be an assistant director, or even a director.
Marven's sudden injury gave Li Hanxiang a headache for a while - Marven had been with him for some years and knew his creative concept very well, and after leaving Marven, he really didn't know where to find a handy scene.
Suddenly!
Li Hanxiang remembered Xu Cun, who had good photography skills.
As a result, Xu Cun was ordered to become the temporary scene reporter of the crew of "Dream of Red Mansions".
