"A makeup artist, well, you can hire a senior makeup artist for 10,000 yuan. The porter had to find at least three people, and the assistant videographer had to hire one. The woman and the two faceless kidnappers in the mobile phone video, these are three people again. Anan and Brother Xi can be found to be porters, and by the way, they can also serve as kidnappers, and they can get it for a hundred yuan a day, and Brother Xi's wife can play a woman's ......"

wrote and drew on the paper, set all the regulations, and Shao Shuaijun began to formally prepare for the crew. Anan, Sishui, and Zebra were recruited into the crew as porters, and one person was one hundred a day, and he was in charge of one meal. Brother Xi is the head of the group, and he was recruited into the crew as an assistant director, responsible for contacting the venue and renting equipment, three hundred a day. Brother Xi's wife, Sister-in-law Liu, only needs to act for one day, and one hundred and fifty yuan can be done.

The makeup artist is Li Yuanyuan, he is the makeup artist of the crew of "Prodigal Son Yanqing", which is being filmed in Hengdian, and the extras found by the prodigal son Yanqing crew are all provided by Brother Xi, so Brother Xi knows him. He was also willing to take on this private job, but the price was fifteen thousand, so he could only take the time to come over and fix the makeup, and give it to his apprentice, a little girl named Xu Hui.

Li Yuanyuan's makeup skills are very good, Shao Shuaijun agreed to the offer of 15,000, and Xu Hui was also given a salary, 15 a day. As for cosmetics, Li Yuanyuan is responsible for providing them.

The assistant cameraman, also invited Zhao Beiyang of the crew of "Prodigal Son Yanqing", like Xu Hui, Zhao Beiyang is the apprentice of the genuine cameraman Xiaoke, although he has little experience, he is still very skilled in following the camera and the camera. The asking price is not high, two hundred yuan a day, and you can eat it.

The props to be used in the movie, in addition to two high-definition DV cameras, there are also several imitation ZIPPO lighters, a copycat large screen machine, a knife and a pen, a few glow sticks, a few flashlights, and an iron box wine jug, which cost nearly 1,000 yuan in total. The camera has to be calculated separately, and the rental fee is two hundred a day. Sound reception, lighting equipment, etc., are also 1200 a day.

The venue was provided by Brother Xi for free, and he bought a cart of sand for two hundred yuan. Plus custom-made coffin props, some other small equipment, more than a thousand went out again.

Coupled with the handling fee for approval, this calculation results in an upfront cost of nearly 18,000 yuan. A daily salary of 950 yuan, a rental fee of 850 yuan, and more than 200 food expenses must be paid. Lin Lin finally calculated that Shao Shuaijun had to ensure that the shooting was completed within a week, so that he could get all the shooting according to the budget of 50,000 yuan.

Of course, the cost of post-production should be ignored, because the post-production soundtrack, subtitles, dubbing, and cutting, Shao Shuaijun can do it at no cost. In this way, there can still be 100,000 yuan as public relations expenses to raise the price of "Buried Alive".

Shao Shuaijun's expectation is to sell the distribution rights of the finished film to the film company and buy it out at one time. Strive to exchange for millions of soft girl coins and restart the filming of the next movie.

……

On March 28, 2004, Liu Sanxi's house was covered with sand in a wooden coffin. Lights, sound, all units are ready. Li Yuanyuan has already painted Shao Shuaijun's makeup, with stubble on his face and slightly dark complexion, he is simply a middle-aged uncle.

"Anan, close the door. Sishui and Zebra remove the left side of the coffin. Shao Shuaijun danced for a while, got into the wooden coffin, and tilted his head sideways, "Zhao Beiyang, the camera is focused, and Xu Hui helps to help the sound of the microphone." Brother Xi prepared a black cloth and turned off the lights. The first game, begin! ”

The lights went out, there was a burst of darkness in front of the camera, and there was also a burst of darkness in the coffin, Shao Shuaijun let out a dull and rapid breathing sound, followed by several shouts of "Hey". After a while, the prepared imitation zippo lighter was ignited, and by the light of the lighter, Shao Shuaijun's face jumped into the camera......

"Cards!"

After a plot was completed, Shao Shuaijun immediately got out of the coffin, came behind the camera, and played back the picture just now in front of the monitor. Touching his chin, Shao Shuaijun squinted his eyes slightly.

"How is it, Ah Jun, you are really photogenic." Zhao Beiyang said with a smile.

"No, my expression was a little stiff just now, as if the makeup was too heavy. Xu Hui, come over and help me wipe off a little, wipe it evenly, and I'll see the effect. ”

"Oh, good."

After the make-up, this scene is obviously much smoother, Shao Shuaijun carefully compared the American version of "Buried Alive" in his heart, and felt that it was okay. Start the next shot.

There is only one scene in "Buried Alive", although Shao Shuaijun's performance is not as good as Ryan's, but he is also relaxed and can cope with it. After three days, the crew passed the run-in stage, and the progress began to speed up, often one shot, only need to pass once, which amazed everyone, and called Shao Shuaijun a veteran actor.

Indeed, he has nearly ten years of more training than others, and he has seen the original footage, but he can't act well, so that's called a problem.

"Anan dim the lights a little, Sishui, you go to the left to hold the rope, Brother Xi goes to the right to hold on, Zhao Bei'an, you push the camera up, remember, you have to go back in a slow counterclockwise direction, and focus on my face...... Okay, let's go! ”

In the scene, Luo Shan sent out the video of cutting his finger, and after making a call, he put the phone next to his head, looking at the void with his eyes distracted, mourning more than his heart dying. With the lens pushed from a distance, it profoundly portrays Luo Shan's mood at this moment, sinking into the abyss little by little.

Shao Shuaijun opened his mouth slightly, the dim light of the lighter reflected half of his face, and his mood was completely immersed in Luo Shan's loss. The eyes are empty, just like the drunkenness of being changed to the director, and the loss is deep in my bones.

"Cards! Perfect! Thirty seconds later, Zhao Beiyang shouted......

Five days later, the last scene was filmed, this one was a shot of the coffin being broken, sand poured in, and the protagonist Luo Shan was buried alive. Shao Shuaijun did not lie down, but let Anan go in and lie down, and he instructed Sishui, Zebra and Xige outside to pour sand inside.

Then he took control of the camera himself, and slowly pushed it until the sand filled the coffin, and the camera suddenly went dark.

"I declare that "Buried Alive" is finished!"

"Oh woo!"

Everyone hugged and cheered each other, and in five days, a movie was filmed. Although it is simple and the shooting scene is boring, the excitement of the crowd is unimaginable. Because everyone is a rookie, Anan, Sishui and Zebra were completely tricks before, dead corpses or group soldiers, and they couldn't even show their faces.

Although Brother Xi is the leader of the group, he also has no chance to show his face.

This time, he also didn't show his face, but he really participated in the filming of a movie, from beginning to end, completely involved. Words can't describe this excitement.

Zhao Beiyang and Xu Hui also shouted excitedly, they are young people, they are apprentices in the TV crew, but now they have participated in a movie, and they have completed the photography and makeup, regardless of the success of the movie, this experience, this experience is precious and unforgettable.

Shao Shuaijun also applauded, he didn't react so much, he was still a little excited in his heart, in his past and present life, this is the first real director's work. Looking at the shot, the light of the last flashlight went out, but his mind drifted to his previous life, if it wasn't for the tricks of Dengtian Entertainment, then he was probably filming his first movie.

Put away your emotions and smile.

"Okay, since you've been reborn, let's live in style and make movies in style!"
