Volume 3 Chapter 31 If you want to go to the movie
At the dinner table, Tia suddenly said, "Lee, my dad and they plan to hold a bonfire tomorrow." Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info do you want to participate?"
Li Sheng raised his head and asked in surprise, "What kind of festival is this time?"
There are a lot of bonfires in the Gilloros. It must be done before planting grain, after the grain is finished, when you are happy, if you are unhappy, before the harvest, and after the harvest. I don't know what name it will be in this time?
Tia grinned and said, "Didn't the crew from your country come? β
Li Sheng really forgot about this: "It turns out that they are already here! Your father and they have even done my thing." It's good. β
He smiled and asked, "I heard that they want your people to participate in the filming as well, did they get the script?"
"Hmm. It was also translated into Portuguese. It's just a scene description, no lines. As long as my dad says whatever they want in their own words. It's mainly a matter of expressions. β
Li Sheng listened to her quietly before asking, "Then do you think there is a problem?"
"They sent someone to guide them, and today they asked me to translate five times and teach my dad how to stand, what kind of momentum to show, and how to move. There's a lot more I don't understand. But I did as they were told. β
Li Sheng smiled and said, "Those people are still in order." β
"Rules?"
"It's just that there is no hand or foot for girls. β
Tia smiled and said, "No." She said with a sudden squint. "One of their directors asked me if I would like to film. β
Li Sheng was stunned for a moment and asked, "What did he say?"
Tia recalled, saying, "He said there was a character in the play that sounded right for me. There are several shots that don't take too long. β
Li Sheng looked at her for a long time before asking, "Then do you like filming?"
Tia nodded and said, "It feels fun." Will you be upset?"
Li Sheng smiled and said, "How come, it's good if you're happy." But now you're going to be a translator for the clan and the crew, what about the lessons?"
"I only went there at noon. The principal said that I could take a leave of absence if needed. Let them study on their own!"
Li Sheng saw what she said, he should have arranged the time, and he didn't say anything anymore. He has been busy lately, keeping an eye on the possible python and the progress of rodent prevention.
Before, he didn't care much about having a crew filming on the farm. He felt that even if he cared, he couldn't influence the other party. Even if he can now let the crew shoot more scenes of the farm, when editing, maybe all of them will be cut.
But Tia finally decided to participate in the shooting, and Li Sheng subconsciously paid more attention.
There are a lot of people in this crew called "God War", and there are hundreds of people in total. There are more than a dozen actors among them, and these are all to appear in the shots filmed here.
Li Sheng gave face, and the person in charge of the crew also expressed enough gratitude. The crew of "God Wars" is not led by the director, but by the producer. The producer is a middle-aged woman surnamed Chang, with short and capable hair and thick short-sighted glasses, which hides her shrewdness a lot.
The farm hosted a welcome party for the crew. It is also a bonfire party, which means that Li Sheng "snatched" the right to hold the welcome party of the Gilolo people. Of course, it is impossible to miss the Gilolo people.
Although Chang Producer is happy with Li Sheng's enthusiasm, he also understands that there is no dinner for nothing. However, she is also used to seeing wind and rain, and Li Sheng doesn't mention her or say it.
In fact, Li Sheng has been observing the members of this crew, at least some superficial things he can still see. Chang Producer has a very high status in this crew. In fact, the director is not particularly famous, so the power of the crew is basically in the hands of the producer.
The actors who came to the farm to shoot this time also played cards. For example, the heroine Lan Xiaoyue is said to be a first-line actress who has risen in China in the past two years. At least he hadn't heard of this actress before when he was in China. Such a person either has a background or is praised by others.
The actor he had heard of when he was in China, although he was not a newcomer, but he was also half-black and not red before, and now he should be considered to be out of the blue.
The hero and heroine are of course the biggest actors in the crew, and they all have a lot of people like assistants around them. However, Li Sheng also saw that their crew did not bring a group performance. The other actors all have a role. It seems that they really planned to find workers from the farm.
Chang Producer was also observing Li Sheng, and found that he was observing the crew, so he said, "Mr. Li, thank you very much for your hospitality." And thank you Silent Farm for allowing us to shoot here. β
"You're welcome. It's rare to have a domestic film come to the farm, and of course I welcome it. β
Chang Producer smiled reservedly and said: "Coming to Silent Farm to go on location, in fact, the investor is also a little controversial. However, in the end, we felt that the scenery of Silent Farm was very suitable for the script, so we decided to come. But it also causes us some difficulties. β
Li Sheng pondered for a moment and said, "We will try our best to cooperate." β
"That's great. Chang Producer said with a smile. "In the plot of the shooting, we need some extras, of course not many. We have also previously proposed that farm workers can take on these mass roles. Of course, we won't let them pay for nothing. β
Li Sheng knew that she would ask this question, but he was also worried: "But they have never filmed." β
"There's no need to worry about this, we brought a few people over. We can shoot scenes that don't require group performances first, and it will probably take a few days. In the next few days, we can arrange for people to conduct short-term training for them. β
People came with the crew, but they didn't bring a group performance, Li Sheng could only nod even if he was not very willing to do so: "I will notify you to see if anyone is interested in participating." "Actually, at this time, there are still some workers on the farm who can spare time. "What do you give?"
"The salary of a domestic group performance is 200 to 300 yuan a day. Of course, it's RMB. But we can provide five hundred a day for the workers here. β
Li Sheng pondered for a moment and said, "I heard that it is easy to get injured during filming. Is there insurance or something?"
Chang Producer blinked and said, "We can provide a short-term accident insurance, worth about 300,000 yuan." β
Li Sheng thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll be relieved." "In fact, 300 a day is still very low for farm workers. The wages they receive from the farm are at least six hundred a day. If this salary is followed, there is certainly no one who wants to participate in the filming. But he also hopes that the shoot will go well, and he can get the workers to participate in the shoot with pay.
"Then on behalf of Hantang Film and Television, thank you Mr. Li!" Chang Producer also breathed a sigh of relief. If Li Sheng does not agree to let the workers participate in the performance, then the crew will have to find a group performance outside, or even pull people from China. That's definitely a bigger expense. If nothing else, the cost of travel alone is much higher than the increased salary expenses.
Li Sheng glanced at the Jilolo people who were singing and dancing around the bonfire, and said: "The people of the Jilolo tribe may have some difficulties in the filming process because of the language barrier, and I hope the crew can take care of them more." β
Chang Producer said with a smile: "Actually, with Miss Tia as a translator, our communication is still relatively convenient." We also learned about their customs and taboos, and I can guarantee that there will be no problems during the shoot. "It's been a day since they came to Silent Farm, and the crew not only chose the scene, but also turned the time difference. Of course, there has been communication with the Gilolo people.
Li Sheng heard her mention Tia, and his eyes couldn't help but turn to the girl sitting in the Jilolo pile. With a smile on his face, he turned back to Chang Producer and said, "I heard that Tia will also be involved in filming. Please also take care of the producer. β
Chang Producer smiled and said: "Miss Tia is very important to our crew, we still need her to take care of her!"
Li Sheng nodded and said in a low voice: "I hope that the regular producer can restrain the crew well." If you need anything, you can go to nearby SantarΓ©m or other cities, farms and surrounding villages......"
Chang Producer's face was wooden, nodded and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Li, I will warn them." Although she was a little annoyed by the meaning of Li Sheng's words, this circle was indeed chaotic. Li Sheng will bring up the words secretly, and she has no way to refute them.
Li Sheng didn't care what she thought, listened to her assurance, nodded and said, "You are Huaxia, and so am I." And you're on the farm during this time. If someone does something bad, pat their ass and leave, it's not okay. β
Chang Producer understands what he is referring to, that is, he doesn't want the crew to leave trouble. She could only nod.
On this night, Li Sheng and the crew had a polite conversation, but tonight ended relatively early, because the crew will start filming tomorrow.
Because the scenes in the first few days did not have the share of farm workers and Gilolo people, Li Sheng did not care. What he didn't expect was that there were many workers who wanted to be on the screen, and after the announcement that the crew needed a group performance was posted, there were more than 60 workers in planting workers and some other departments who planned to participate in the performance. But most of these are men. Of course, the group performance can't just be men, and in the end, under the coordination of Zhang Feng, the crew also selected more than 20 female workers among the women. Among the last male workers to sign up, only 30 remained.
A few days passed in the blink of an eye. Today, Tia has a scene to shoot for the first time. At dinner yesterday, she told Li Sheng about it with excitement. Li Sheng had the heart to accompany her, but he had other things to do today.
The mousetrap designed by Feng Xiaoting has already been installed. He's going to see how it works.
Hearing that Li Sheng didn't have time to accompany her, Tia was a little disappointed, but she still smiled and said, "You have something, I don't need you to accompany you." I was a little nervous, but the teacher said I was learning fast. Definitely no problem. β
In the morning, Li Sheng sent her to the crew, said hello to the producer and director Quan and left.
