Chapter 120: Studios
Ask for recommendations, ask for support, ask for collections!
Compared with other places, the biggest feeling for Chen Feng is that there is a feeling of traveling through ancient and modern, the cinema has both modern facilities such as Internet cafes and restaurants, as well as ancient buildings such as the Qin Palace, Qingming Shanghe Tu, you can see a lot of people wearing fashion walking around, you can also see a lot of people wearing ancient clothes who are suspected of being ancient people walking around, and even going in and out of supermarkets and other places, it is really quite a time and space disorder.
The studio is divided into four areas, one of which is the architecture of the Chaos period, that is, the buildings of the pre-Qin period on Earth. One area is the buildings of the Jin Dynasty, that is, the buildings of the Three Kingdoms period of the Han Dynasty on the earth, and the buildings in another area are similar to the buildings of the Tang and Song dynasties, and the last is similar to the buildings of the Ming and Qing dynasties. The reason why the cinema was built like this is nothing more than to be able to shoot film and television works in various periods of history.
Chen Feng's crew was stationed in the last area, that is, the building complex of the Ming and Qing dynasties. Along the way, Chen Feng saw a lot of stars, some of them were discussing the script together, some were eating barbecue, and some were a few people getting together to hang out. Here, they don't need to worry about the paparazzi's tracking, they don't need to deal with the fans. Here, they can show their true side without having to wear a mask.
When Chen Feng came to the stationing place of the crew of "The Best Family", the assistant director had already arrived and was arranging the crew to arrange the scene.
"Director Chen." When the assistant director saw Chen Feng coming over, he stepped forward to say hello.
"How's it going, is everything going well?" Chen Feng asked lightly.
"Everything went smoothly. However, the local zhèngfǔ sent someone to see you. The assistant director said.
"Oh, yes, let's see you." After speaking, he asked the assistant director to take him to meet the local zhèngfǔ faction.
"Mr. Chen, welcome to the studio!" A middle-aged man greeted Chen Feng when he saw him and said with a smile.
"You are?" Chen Feng didn't know what to call this person.
"It's okay to call me Lao Zhao, in fact, I came this time to discuss something with Mr. Chen." The middle-aged man who called himself Lao Zhao said with a smile.
"Oh, what's the matter?" Chen Feng asked suspiciously.
"Actually, if your company Huayu often shoots in the studio, I hope you can build a base, so that not only can you come to this base every time you come, but also facilitate our management and arrangement." Lao Zhao said with a smile. In fact, he didn't know that Chen Feng was Huayu's boss at first, but his leader told him so, which made him feel a little amazed at the time! A young man who is only 20 years old has achieved so much in less than a year, and even he knows that it will not be long before his achievements will be even higher, and even in the next few decades, there may not be anyone who can stand side by side with him, is such a teenager, before that, he would never have imagined.
Chen Feng also knows about this kind of establishment of a filming base in the cinema, for example, in the previous life, the Tang people had their own base in Hengdian, Xiaobailou, and the world's major film companies have their own bases, including the twelve major film companies in Hangzhou and Hong Kong. I really want to build a place like Xiaobailou, otherwise I won't even have a foothold when I film here all year round in the future.
"That's no problem, I'll arrange someone to negotiate with you when the time comes." Chen Feng nodded in agreement.
"Oh, that's great, thank you Mr. Chen for your cooperation." Lao Zhao shook hands with Chen Feng with a look of surprise and expressed his gratitude: "Is it the first time Mr. Chen has come to the studio?" I can be an east and introduce you to our studio. ”
"No, I just came from the grassland, I'm a little tired, and I want to take a break." Chen Feng declined with a smile.
"Really? Forgive me for being abrupt, in this case, Mr. Chen will have a good rest, I will not bother, and I will be a guide for Mr. Chen next time I have time. ”
After a day off, the next day the filming of "The Best Family" started again. The filming locations are free, and the studios don't make money from that, they make money in other ways, including rentals of various storefronts throughout the studio.
The first scene in the studio is the plot where Lin San enters Beijing to participate in the Lantern Festival. It's nighttime, and the gaffers have adjusted the lights so that they don't look too dazzling or too dark.
Chen Feng looked at the lanterns hanging upstairs, most of them were colorful, but a few were white. Chen Feng frowned, "What's the matter with these white lanterns?" I'm not asking for all those with bright faces, how can there be white sè, this is the Lantern Festival, not Qingming. Didn't you like it when you bought it? "Generally, there are two sources of equipment shot by film and television companies. If the economic resources are not very good, they will choose to rent from some equipment companies. The other is to buy it yourself, and Huayu's financial situation has been greatly improved. There is naturally no shortage of money, in the past, he would think it was too expensive and use the method of leasing, but now of course he bought it, so Chen Feng asked so.
"Because the things to be prepared for this shooting are relatively miscellaneous, these scattered things are all rented by others! The prop master said embarrassedly. Hanging Huayu is enough to buy all the things needed for shooting, but some things will not be used again after being used once, such as these lanterns. Such a thing can only be sold at a loss, although I don't care about this money, but Huayu's money is not blown by the wind, there is no need to use it indiscriminately.
"Didn't you look carefully before renting it?" Chen Feng asked, Chen Feng has always been very concerned about the integrity of the props, and he also has very high requirements for the prop masters, there is nothing wrong with these props, if there is a problem with Wei Ya or the like, it is likely to lead to serious injuries and even death of the actors, so Chen Feng has never dared to slack off, and he has asked the prop master to check carefully. "Let's go find that company and change it!"
"However, we need a lot of lanterns, so those companies don't have enough inventory, so we have to use these white lights to recharge." The prop master said helplessly, it's not that he didn't look carefully, but the number is not enough.
Chen Feng frowned, it's really hard to talk about prop masters now, and it's to blame him for not thinking about this matter clearly, if he had known about it, he would have arranged for someone to buy these lanterns in advance.
"Well, go buy some colorful light bulbs and put them in. Then put these lanterns as far away from the lens as possible. Chen Feng couldn't help it, there was only less than half an hour left before the start of shooting, so he had to try to minimize these effects.
"Okay, then I got it!"
Thanks to the low-key farmer for his many tips!
