Chapter 110: The Story of the Crew
With a simple conversation, the two basically finalized the cooperation. Regarding the script, although Wang Luo has absolute confidence, Yang Yihu does not agree.
After determining that if the shooting effect is not satisfactory, Yang Yihu can propose to change the script, and Wang Luo must also accept this suggestion.
Although Yang Yihu has been engaged in the film and television industry for many years, he has never directed a play alone, so for him, the most precious thing is the opportunity, not to argue about the content of the script. Not only him, but many big-name directors have also come over like this, and when many people took over the filming of the first play, it was the script given by the investor, and not a single word on it could be changed. In such a comparison, Yang Yihu's situation seems to be much better than theirs.
And for his script, Wang Luo has absolute confidence. Besides, these are all edited products, and there are not many things that need to be changed. As for revising the script, while it may happen, the odds are not great.
In this way, after no objections, the two sides initialed the contract.
Although Yang Yihu did not have too many requirements for salary, Wang Luo still gave a salary of 200,000 yuan, which is equivalent to more than 7,000 yuan per episode, which is about 2,001 more than those leading actors.
"Director Yang, I'm afraid I have to trouble you about the formation of the crew, the company currently has no talents in this area." After initialing the agreement, Wang Luo said again.
"Okay, no problem, I guarantee it within a week." Yang Yihu agreed without thinking about it.
I have been working in the industry for 15 years, I have cooperated with many directors, and I know a lot of crew, so it is not a problem to form a crew.
Of course, it is impossible to directly bring in a complete crew. Because the complete crew will not come out to take on private work, most of them have contracts with those big companies.
What Yang Yihu is looking for is another group. You can also think of them as extras in the drama circle, these people have no contracts, and they will go crazy to find filming jobs on weekdays. And some small companies can't afford to raise such a huge crew, so more often they will choose to choose among these people and form a new crew.
Even the big companies are not an exception, and in some key positions they are contracted employees, and in other relatively less important positions, they will go to these temporary workers to do it, which will also save them a lot of costs.
"Okay, that's trouble. The actors are almost looking for it, and I will build the venue as soon as possible in the past few days, and we will start work as soon as possible. Wang Luo said.
"Good!" Yang Yihu nodded in agreement, but he didn't think so in his heart.
How can it be so easy to shoot a TV series? Just do it? Is this possible? For a TV series, the preparation work in the early stage must be at least two months to three months, or even half a year, and it is not uncommon for a year to prepare.
One of the most important is to discuss the script, that is, the screenwriter, director, investors, producers, leading actors and others sit together to discuss the script. This link is also the longest step in the past, after all, people's ideas are different, and in some places, screenwriters feel very satisfied, directors or investors, and producers will feel dissatisfied.
In the end, the screenwriter has to revise the script according to the integrated opinions until everyone is satisfied. Of course, this time the investor and screenwriter are both online, with Yang Yihu's understanding of Wang Luo in the past ten minutes, if nothing else, the producer should also be Wang Luo.
In this way, a lot of time will be saved in terms of scripts, but there will still be half a month. Then there is the overall planning, budgeting, etc., which can be done after the script is determined, and at the same time going to meet with some leaders of relevant departments, ventilate in advance, listen to their opinions, and prevent the film from being banned after it is filmed.
As for the venue, don't worry about it for the time being, because it's a sitcom, so the venue is the easiest to get. You don't even have to go to the studio, you can just find a vacant lot and build a house to shoot.
Even so, Yang Yihu also believes that from now on, it is impossible for this drama to start without two months. Because there are too many things, and Wang Luo wears many hats, he can't be busy at all.
But knowing is knowing, Yang Yihu didn't dare to say it. After all, Wang Luo's identity has changed dramatically, screenwriter, chief director, investor, if he says something that makes Wang Luo unhappy, he may replace himself, so Yang Yihu can't even find a place to cry.
In short, at this moment, Yang Yihu's mind is similar to that of Wang Luo when he first debuted, he is in a weak position, and he is afraid of offending people who are stronger than him, so he forces himself to lose some opportunities.
With the rise of fame and status, Wang Luo rarely worries about this and that like a few months ago, although he can't compete with some people, but at least he will no longer be afraid of those who dare to look down on him.
For dinner, the two sides ate very happily, and after confirming the next play, Yang Yihu's words gradually increased, and he kept telling Wang Luo some stories that happened in the crew.
Listening to Yang Yihu, the 'old-timer' of the crew, he originally felt that there was nothing to do, which also surprised Wang Luo.
In the crew, the director is the largest, and this is normal. In some cases, it is the actor who is the biggest, and even the director has to listen to the instructions of some big-name actors. The whole crew has to go around him alone, as long as he does a little bit badly and provokes this big name, then he can only be sorry, he will be scolded at best, and then he will be sent to other faceless positions, or he will let you go directly.
However, the world is impermanent, there is a bad side, and naturally there is a good side. has been doing it for so many years, and Yang Yihu can be said to have seen all kinds of scenes. What the leading actor reprimanded the director, and directly slapped his ass and left.
In the same way, he has also seen some big-name directors who are particularly considerate. For example, when filming, the people who lift the pole are the most tired, as long as the shooting starts, they have to hold the microphone, not only to be able to record the dialogue clearly, but also not to let it appear in the camera.
Many pole-lifters can't even drink a sip of water, and the status of the big-name person Yang Yihu has seen is no better than anyone else's, although he is not the first brother in the entertainment industry, but he is definitely in the top three. Who would have thought that before he left the country, he would take a water bottle and feed water to those staff who were lifting poles?
In short, there are a lot of things to do with the crew, and they may not be able to finish it in two days and two nights. After a meal, Wang Luo also made up some knowledge about the crew, and he may be able to use it in the future.
