Chapter 9 A small step today, a run tomorrow

Kang Hu had lunch with Mecca and Ishida in the crew of "Crazy Boss", and Mecca asked everyone to rest for half an hour and then start work, Kang Hu watched everyone not even have an hour from eating to resting, and couldn't help but sigh that it was so hard to be a filmmaker!

After Mecca and Ishida finished eating, they said hello to Kang Hu and lay down on the chair with their eyes closed, and after about half an hour, the field staff came to tell Mecca and Ishida that the time was up, Mecca stood up and picked up the guide and shouted loudly: "All ready, start filming the afternoon scene, props, camera...... Check them all down......"

Kang Hu carefully looked at Mecca commanding the scene, remembered what Mecca said, and at the same time looked at the people in various positions to check the tools of the method, and the brain continued to sort out and analyze these, save what was clear and useful, and leave what was not understood for later verification.

Kang Hu's speed of absorbing knowledge is like a sponge body that swells to countless times that of a man's dreams, Kang Hu knows that the current "Crazy Boss" is just a small scene, he still has a lot to learn, and controlling such a small scene is not his goal, this is just his starting point.

As soon as the first set of shots was completed in the afternoon, Huang Baiming came, Mecca took advantage of the time to change the props to tell Huang Baiming about Kang Hu, Huang Baiming thought about it a little, and felt that this matter was very suitable for their struggle company, and Huang Baiming also wanted "Crazy Boss" to become an instant hit and start the name of their struggle company, so it was logical that Kang Hu became the assistant director of the crew of "Crazy Boss".

Kang Hu is now very eager to learn film knowledge, so after Huang Baiming also nodded, he wanted to sign a contract with Struggle Film Company as soon as possible. Fortunately, the three of them are also full of enthusiasm now, and the four of them signed the contract on the set on the spot, because it was not yet Huang Baiming's scene, so Mecca asked Huang Baiming and Kang Hu to go to the bank to transfer the money.

Kang Hu and Huang Baiming came to the Bank of America, and Kang Hu's money was still in US dollars at this time, so the two of them came to the Bank of America first to transfer Kang Hu's money from the United States and exchange it for Hong Kong dollars by the way. At this time, the US dollar is 1 to 8.01 against the Hong Kong dollar, so at this time, Kang Hu's account has a total of 790,000 Hong Kong dollars, and the other 10,000 has been directly discounted by Xiaoguangqiu, otherwise Kang Hu would not have had the money to rent a house the day before yesterday......

After everything was done, Kang Hu and Huang Baiming returned to the set.

Because Kang Hu is still a pink newcomer, Mecca didn't give him any specific work, just let him follow him, and promised to answer some questions in his spare time, as for what Kang Hu can learn and whether to ask questions, this is not Mecca's business.

In the afternoon of "Crazy Boss", Kang Hu didn't ask Mecca a question, but did a lot of miscellaneous odd work. Because there are not many night scenes in "Crazy Boss" and they are all scheduled to be filmed in the middle of the film, and because there are 200,000 more Kanghu, the filming can also be slowed down and done more finely.

"That's it for today, everyone is happy." Mecca made sure that there was no problem with the last shot of the day, and then said to everyone.

The camera used here does not have a retrospective function, and you have to wait for the development to finalize the effect. As for tomorrow's shooting plan, the assistant director is naturally responsible for informing everyone, of course, this refers to another assistant director, who is actually Huang Baiming. At this time, Huang Baiming is not only a screenwriter, but also an actor and a part-time assistant director, and the things are very miscellaneous, of course, whether it is Huang Baiming or Kang Hu, he will not appear as an assistant director in the final staff list of the film, Huang Baiming may be in the role list, and Kang Hu is estimated to be in the drama list......

For the next nearly a month, Kang Hu spent time in the crew of "Crazy Boss". Because Kang Hu is now also going out early and returning late, there are more opportunities to meet with Zhao Yuzhi, and the two have chatted about daily life from mutual greetings every time they meet, and later Zhao Yuzhi knew that Kang Hu was an assistant director in a film crew, and the topic of the two became some interesting things in their respective crews.

Zhao Yuzhi was still surprised when he first knew that Kang Hu was the assistant director, but after listening to Kang Hu talk about his agreement with Struggle Company, he immediately understood Mecca's thoughts, after all, Zhao Yuzhi has been in this circle for more than six years.

Time passed day by day, Kang Hu followed Mecca every day to learn the knowledge of directing, and also learned the knowledge of screenwriting with Huang Baiming, and at the same time asked Huang Baiming some questions about directing when Mecca had no time, as for the acting skills, he asked Mecca, Ishida, and Huang Baiming whoever he caught.

Here I have to introduce the three giants of the future new art city, Mecca studied in the film department of New York University in 1971, which is considered a bachelor's degree. Huang Baiming entered the TV station in 1970, and created the TV series "Huang Feihong" and "Forced to Liangshan" in 1976, and then entered the film industry as a screenwriter, which can be regarded as self-taught. Ishida graduated from the Shaw Brothers Co., Ltd. actor training center in 1968, and is considered a professional actor, and the actor training center here is also the predecessor of the current wireless artist training class.

In addition to learning from these three, Kang Hu also learned photography knowledge from photographers, as for other lighting, costumes, props, and makeup...... He didn't even go to study, on the one hand, he had limited time, and he was saying that learning things should also have a priority consideration, and like photography, he also included some knowledge of lighting, while other Kang Hu was really not interested.

With the deepening of his learning, combined with the knowledge he learned, Kang Hu was slowly able to restore the movies he had seen before into sub-shots, and had a general idea of how these shots were shot, of course, he was still close to fully figuring it out.

Nearly a month has passed in a blink of an eye, and today is the last shot of "Crazy Boss", Kang Hu took off his costume and waited for Mecca to shout "cut", and then he could end his first career as an assistant director. That's right, Kang Hu also walked on the camera, after all, you can't experience that sense of reality without practicing optics, walking on the camera and your usual practice are two different things, of course, Kang Hu is playing passers-by, basically there is no chance to speak.

"Cut, it's over," finally Mecca shouted, and everyone cheered.

Kang Hu is very satisfied with this time, because he learned what he needs, of course, many real things are discovered by Kang Hu himself and take the initiative to ask, if you don't find the problem yourself, people don't help you find out and take the initiative to teach you the obligation is not.

As for getting along with everyone in the entire crew, Kang Hu couldn't help complaining: "I really don't know how the protagonist got the protagonist in the novel I read before, and I got along with everyone in the crew in a few days, it seems that I don't have such a good personality!" ”

It's possible to be a good person in the crew, but I can't think of being a brother and sister with everyone in January, don't even think about it, to be honest, if you really think like this, then you really think too much, it's good that you can get along with everyone friendly, and in a crew they also have their own small circles, even if you are good, it is difficult for you to really integrate into it if you are not in your own circle.

"Ah Hu, I'll cut the film tomorrow, if you're interested, let's take a look." Mecca walked over to Kang Hu with the last box of film and said.

Kang Hu smiled and said, "Interested!" I've heard you talk about some editing techniques these days, but I'd better take a closer look. Kang Hu is still very interested in the editing of the movie, you must know that even if it is the same footage, let different directors edit it, and the results may be two completely different stories.

"Okay, tomorrow you come to Golden Princess Entertainment Company and tell the front desk to find me." Mecca touched her bald head with her left hand and said.

After chatting with Mecca for a while, Kang Hu left the Yonghua set in a hurry, leaving in a hurry because Kang Hu had an appointment with a beautiful woman tonight!

After a month of neighbors getting along, Kang Hu and Zhao Yuzhi are already very familiar, and in the past week, Kang Hu has basically sat at Zhao Yuzhi's place every night, of course, Kang Hu and Zhao Yuzhi are not in love, and in fact, Zhao Yuzhi did not treat Kang Hu as an adult man.

Zhao Yuzhi has been making up lessons for Kang Hu this week, Zhao Yuzhi's lessons are mainly some rules and taboos in the circle, as well as some interpersonal relationships in the circle that she knows, as for acting, Zhao Yuzhi teaches very little. The two of them are mostly discussing this aspect of performance, after all, there are three future big stars on Kang Hu's side to guide, and the performances of TV series are still different from movies, and Zhao Yuzhi has benefited a lot from some of the experience that Kang Hu said, after all, Kang Hu has a perverted brain, and it is not too simple to draw inferences or something!

P.S. Thank you for recommending my friend! Thank you for the big reward from the 5,000 parties, and the big "Dream of Hong Kong" I have been following!
