Chapter 84: To the crew
Under the attention of the crew, an older young man wearing sunglasses and casually dressed got off the first private car.
The small business RV in the back was also opened, a pair of long legs wearing high heels were put down first, and what came out was a woman who was so beautiful that it amazed the eyes of all men, she was Yang Liying, without sunglasses, with a smiling face, followed by a female assistant, and the two walked over unhappily.
"Mr. Yan, I'm sorry, the plane was delayed, I was late."
Tong Da Pseudo came over first and greeted Yan Le.
Yan Le naturally shook his head again and again and smiled: "It's okay, after all, the schedule of the two of them is relatively tight." ”
"I'm not busy, Liying is busy."
Tong Dapseudo said, Yang Liying also came over with a smile, she said, "Mr. Yan, I'm sorry, I'm late." What about Director Wang? ”
"Director Wang hasn't come yet." When Yan Le said this, she also blushed a little.
"Oh......" Yang Liying also sighed softly, but she didn't have any ideas.
The word director has always been linked to authority, even if Wang Yang is a new director, but people are still investors, even if they don't come today, then their crew and actors are also waiting here, because Wang Yang has already paid them money!
Five minutes later, Yan Le also chatted with the two actors, but Wang Yang still hadn't arrived, and when she just wanted to call, the assistant director Zhang Mingshi came over and said: "Director Wang called and said, he will come over later, so that everyone don't worry, you can familiarize yourself with the script first." ”
"Did he Wang Yang write the script?" As soon as Yan Le heard the words of the script, he was angry and wanted to vomit blood.
"Well, I wrote it." Assistant director Zhang Mingshi nodded seriously.
I did write it, that is, I printed out some of the dialogues and some classic words in "The First Close Contact", which is about five pages of paper, a total of 30,000 words.
Yan Le took a copy of the script and looked at it twice, and threw it away speechlessly in anger, but Tong Dapseudo and Yang Liying both watched it very seriously.
After a while, Yang Liying raised her head first: "It seems to be some ...... in the original book"
Tong Dapseudo nodded: "Hmm." ”
The two glanced at each other, Tong Dafu looked at his watch, and unconsciously, the entire crew had been waiting for Wang Yang for an hour and a half, and it was almost noon.
The guys in the crew also sat in the shade and chatted with laughter.
Drama A said: "I don't know what the director is doing, whether today counts as our salary." ”
Drama B said: "That must be counted, this is the rule of the trade!" ”
Lighting A said: "Oh, I have a hunch that I can't shoot today." ”
Set designer C said: "It can't be like this, we are going to break up like this!" ”
The crew waited until noon, and the logistics naturally began to distribute boxed lunches to eat, as for the leaders and actors, if they have money, they can order it themselves, as for the ordinary drama staff, they must only be able to eat a boxed lunch of more than ten yuan. In fact, it is definitely a lot of expenses for the crew to manage food and housing, if there are 100 people, the cost of food and accommodation for one person is 150 yuan a day, and it will cost 15,000 yuan a day.
However, costumes, props, shooting equipment, venue rental, etc., these are more expensive, hundreds of thousands a day, and tens of thousands of dollars a day, in short, whether you shoot or not, you must spend tens of thousands of costs every day.
Yan Le is a producer, of course, she is very distressed about the waste of time and money, and she didn't eat at all at noon.
……
In a café near the university town, Wang Yang sat alone by the window drinking coffee.
Hongyue left, she went back to Yanjing for Wang Yang to negotiate the novel contract, and the most important thing was to take care of the little gray mastiff.
The pet store called to say that the little gray mastiff had some health problems recently, and it was always screaming and yelling, which attracted some investigation by the police and the neighborhood committee.
In short, things are a little troublesome, Hongyue has to go back, and before she goes back, Wang Yang said that she doesn't have to come to him often, because she doesn't want her to follow her when filming.
Hongyue is quite depressed, but she can also understand Wang Yang, on the one hand, Wang Yang is really irritable, because he hasn't started writing the script yet, and he doesn't know how to film yet.
Wang Yang is not afraid, but has some procrastination, and feels that making movies is a matter that needs to be pondered, and it is a matter of slow work and meticulous work.
"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry." Wang Yang took a sip of coffee, he took out a marker, and began to slowly write the script in a notebook.
As soon as he wrote two words, he shook his head, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it away.
Then he began to write again.
……
At one o'clock in the afternoon, in the old site of Soochow University, a taxi drove in, Wang Yang held his pockets in his hands, held a cigarette in his mouth, and sprayed tobacco mist all the way, his face was full of seriousness.
Assistant director Zhang Mingshi hurriedly ran over to greet him and said, "Director Wang, you're here." ”
"Mr. Yan is gone, right?"
"Gone, gone."
"Hmph." Wang Yang snorted coldly, he was deliberately late today to let Yan Le understand one thing, that is, come when you should come, and leave when you should leave.
It's not that he is mean and ruthless, but Yan Le pulled up this crew, Wang Yang doesn't put on a score today, and no one will take him as a director seriously.
Tong Dapseudo and Yang Liying were eating at the RV, and the assistant told the two that Wang Yang was coming, so the two stopped to eat and got out of the RV.
"Director Wang!" Yang Liying smiled and nodded.
"Hmm." Wang Yang nodded, he was very enthusiastic about Tong Dafei, and hugged him when he went up.
The two have met, they met a week ago, and they have been communicating on the phone, otherwise, how could they have determined the actor of the leading actor without audition!
Originally, Wang Yang wanted to play the leading role, but he knew that the director could work part-time, but the actor couldn't work part-time.
The director has a large group of people to help, he only needs to know how to know how to act well and badly, and he needs to know how to act, and an actor must be able to act. One is a critic and the other is a technician, and the difference between the two is very big. And the actor is amazing, that is, he makes more money than the director, that is, he is more influential than the director, it turns out that one can just talk but not practice, and the other can speak and practice.
The director relies on a mouth, while the actor relies on all parts of the body, and most importantly, on the face!
Without a face, you can't even be a vase, how can you be an actor.
There are grassroots actors, and there are ugly ones, but for decades, there have only been so few, almost the same odds as winning the lottery.
It's not reliable at all.
