On April 5, 1998, Wang Qinian rented a 16mm camera for half a year for 10,000 yuan at BJ TV Station in accordance with the prior agreement. That's at least half the market price!

However, this is only to rent cameras, film and other consumables, and you have to pay for them yourself.

Even the 16mm film commonly used by new directors who have just entered the industry is priced as high as 12oo yuan per box, and it can only shoot for 1o minutes. In other words, if the camera shoots a minute of footage, it will burn 12o yuan!

If you choose 35m film, the cost per minute is seven or eight hundred yuan.

In fact, by the time the film is finished for post-production, ten minutes of footage can be edited into one minute, which is quite cost-effective.

And when a new director enters the industry, the money burned is his own money!

At this stage, in fact, it is also a threshold!

Many directors did not survive this stage, but chose to quit because the price was too expensive. It can be said that one of the ten new directors entering the industry can successfully cross this threshold, which is already remarkable.

Wang Qinian constantly inspires himself with confidence in his heart, and he must rush into the threshold! Rushing in, it is a fish jumping over the dragon gate, and if you don't rush in, you have to recharge your strength and rush hard!

Of course, Wang Qinian's recruitment of people in the school has also attracted the attention of many well-intentioned people. Professor Zhong, the head of the Department of Literature, is paying attention to Wang Qinian's dynamics. Even, in Wang Qinian's script, Professor Zhong also helped revise many omissions.

"Is your movie, the crew ready?" Professor Zhong said to him with a smile.

"It's not done yet, there is an urgent shortage of makeup artists!" Wang Qinian said, "For the rest, you can go to the school or Beijing Film Studio to recruit!" But with a makeup artist with a level of aesthetic vision and enough fashion, we still have a headache! ”

"Do you want me to recommend one to you?" Professor Zhong said with a smile.

"Then thank you Mr. Zhong in advance, but if the salary is too expensive, we can't afford to hire it." Wang Qinian was a little hesitant.

"The person I recommend, both excellent and cheap, is Zhang Renzhi from the school's film and television makeup professional advanced course, he specializes in makeup, and his professional counterpart is the right one. In terms of makeup, it is a good seedling. Professor Zhong recommended.

Wang Qinian thought about it and suddenly remembered.

This Zhang Renzhi seems to be one of the famous makeup artists in the film and television industry and the fashion and beauty industry.

At this time, Zhang Renzhi was not studying at Beiying's regular undergraduate, but paying a high tuition fee by himself and studying in a refresher class.

The tuition fee of Beiying's four-year undergraduate class is very low and similar to that of ordinary universities in China, but it needs to go through layers of strict examinations before it can be admitted.

The examination for the one-year refresher course is not strict, but the tuition fee is as high as 35,000 yuan per academic year, in addition to various other course fees. Many people go to advanced classes to study acting, photography, directing, screenwriting and other majors, which are purely gilded. Because, the refresher course is only one year of training, how can it compete with the four-year training of the undergraduate?

But it's different to learn makeup, an unpopular major in a refresher class, because the film school doesn't pay attention to makeup. This market is very scarce in the film and television industry, but there are not many people willing to learn.

Therefore, makeup and styling designers who have learned to be really capable are definitely sought-after in the entertainment industry.

Under the introduction of Professor Zhong, Wang Qinian found the classroom of the advanced training class and waited until the end of the class. Zhang Renzhi walked out of the classroom and was introduced to Wang Qinian by his teacher.

Zhang Renzhi's own dress made Wang Qinian feel that his cognition of fashion and trend was the first! Makeup and styling design, mediocre people can only buy fashion magazines to imitate, while some aesthetic visionaries may create their own zào and lead the trend.

"Classmate Wang, you've been waiting for a long time!" Zhang Renzhi said a little sissy.

"Nothing!" Wang Qinian smiled.

"I've just seen your craftsmanship, and I think your craftsmanship and aesthetics basically meet my expectations!" Wang Qinian said with a smile, "So, I seriously propose to you to join our "Gate of Destiny" crew. Of course, if you don't hate the low salary......"

"Low salary is not a problem, just give me 2ooo yuan. In addition, the crew is in Beijing, and if it is in a foreign country and delays studying, I can only apologize. Zhang Renzhi agreed more cheerfully, and it seems that he also knows that the most important thing for any career to enter the industry at the beginning is to be famous and have mixed qualifications, not to get a high salary.

With fame and seniority, a high salary is within reach.

"In this regard, don't worry, the plot scenes are all carried out in Beijing. Even, many scenes were directly filmed in the Beijing Film Academy! Wang Qinian said with a smile.

"Okay, I promise!" Zhang Renzhi is also a cheerful person. It only took more than ten minutes to meet, and I agreed.

Then, Wang Qinian left a contract, which had very few words and only one page.

In this regard, after Zhang Renzhi read it, he signed the contract happily.

After the addition of makeup artist Zhang Renzhi, Wang Qinian looked very happy in his heart.

A complete crew is composed of the director team, the production team, the drama management team, the photography team, the art team, and the recording team.

However, Wang Qinian's "Gate of Destiny" is a small production, and the crew is very streamlined.

Behind the scenes, only the director, assistant director, photography, art, recording, makeup, lighting, etc.

The makeup artist belongs to the art group in the crew, and it seems that Hao Yi can be concurrently served, but Hao Yi can engage in props and costumes, and the technology is okay. But doing makeup for the actors by yourself is definitely a good eye.

Therefore, Wang Qinian will hire an additional professional makeup artist to join. Therefore, makeup artists are very important, and makeup artists who can dress up ugly ducklings and become goddesses and male gods are a must.

After the makeup artist joined the company, Wang Qinian worked non-stop and led the crowd to Beijing Film Studio to recruit and cast.

Beijing Film Studio and Film Academy are actually only separated by a wall. In the past, the Film Academy was also subordinate to the subordinate institutions of Beijing Film Studio, but later the establishment was separated.

But there are still inextricable relationships.

For example, the students in the film academy want to make films, and there are not enough actors and crew, so I first thought of going to Beijing Film Studio for casting!

There is an industrial chain near Beijing Film Studio, and there is a supply of equipment and talents in all aspects of the film and television industry. Of course, the thousands of extras squatting in Beijing Film Studio every day are a characteristic scenery.

Some extras are employees of film studios. There are also some young people chasing their dreams of stardom, who have been struggling at the bottom of the entertainment industry for a long time. Many people have survived from youth to middle age, and they may not be able to get ahead.

Compared with these people, the students of Beiying can be regarded as winning at the starting line.
