Chapter 153: The Producer's Daily Life

Before, Li Yu had a talk with Chu Qingshen once.

Because she was full of surprise when she saw Wang Tong and Zhang Jingchu. The appearance and temperament of the two people, and even some aspects of their personalities, can be matched as they want, and they are perfect for the role, so they will sign the contract immediately.

The actor problem that she had been worried about for a long time was easily solved, which made her think more and more that Chu Qing was a guy who could bring good luck to herself, so she also wanted to hear his opinion on the film itself.

He doesn't understand directing skills and script structure, but he understands the quality of a movie, and he really puts forward a lot of opinions, mainly focusing on two parts:

Style, character.

At the beginning, Li Yu was trapped by the constraints of funds and actors, and planned to make the film into a familiar documentary form, which was less difficult and easy to use.

In fact, it is the kind of Jia Zhangke that plays the most, the tone of half documentary and half movie.

The long shots, the frenzied mid-range shots, the noisy outside noise, and the dialogues in the heavenly dialect almost ignore the characterization of the performance......

When Chu Qing was an actor, he just gave up, and he didn't think about these things. But now, from the producer's point of view, it's weird. Especially since he had just returned from his studies in Rotterdam, he kept in mind the words of advice from Gwen:

Poor graphics!

Poor sound!

Basically I don't understand!

And it's uncomfortable to watch!

At present, this comparison really gives birth to a sense of frustration, and what people say is really right, just one word: rough!

He didn't want to make any great movies, but he couldn't tolerate making a shoddy work in his own hands.

So, he and Li Yu were very profound and careful to ask this question.

As a result, the thing didn't say a word and agreed, she wanted to do it a long time ago!

The ferocity of this woman's heart is far more harmless than the appearance of Sven. Originally, it was because the conditions were insufficient, so I sought stability. This will require money and money, actors and actors, and a stable Laoshizi, and a proper joy.

All right...... The two of them can be regarded as agreeing.

As for the second opinion, it is a bit more troublesome.

The book of "This Summer" is very complex, with many characters, and the bright and dark lines intersect, which seems a little cumbersome and impetuous, and seems to be rich. In fact, it is pale.

Xiaoqun, Xiaoling, Junjun, Mom, Police...... Each of these roles is expressed, but each one is not expanded. Maybe the actors themselves can understand, but the audience has a hard time watching it.

The excitement of the characters and the appearance time account for a large factor, and according to the expected length of the movie, Xiao Qun, Xiao Ling and Jun Jun, the three main characters, definitely have plenty of time to show.

Li Yu didn't play according to the routine. Full of pit goods, who does she give a lot of time to?

gave those passers-by a supporting role.

This hurts!

She wanted to show the general state of a handful of marginalized groups, of which homosexuality is only a part, and the elderly are in love. Single dads and so on.

But the result of this is that the movie has become a messy stew, with equal scenes and unclear levels.

Chu Qing's opinion is: put the mother's twilight love story. Delete it completely; The side plot of the police is reduced as much as possible. In his opinion, these two parts are simply redundant.

Li Yu immediately exploded. Shouting at the table.

Chu Qing has a good temper and consumes with her slowly. He is not conceited, nor is he a producer, so he has to play palace scheming and show his authority.

He took the script, consulted Lao Jia, consulted Lou Ye, and even asked Hao Rong to contact a teacher who taught script creation in Chinese opera to read it, and after making up for it, he brought it out.

Chu Qing himself is not convincing, and the weight of his helpers is a little stronger. After Li Yu calmed down, he tasted it carefully for two days and felt that his opinion was correct.

In the end, the direct embodiment of the discussion between the two is:

First, the film was upgraded to 35mm.

Second, the roles of the three actresses have increased.

So far, in addition to the story line, the character portrayal and expression of "This Summer" are completely different from the original idea.

The theme is prominent, the characters are distinct, the layering is clear, and from the foundation, it is really, starting like a movie. As for what kind of virtue can be filmed, it is the way of directors and actors.

Li Yu was extremely anxious and expectant, maybe she just wanted to carry a 16mm broken machine to complete a thought in her heart.

And now, this simple thought seems to have turned into an even more brilliant dream, and it is within reach.

…………

The producer's work covers a wide range of areas, including pre-preparation, assembly of film crews, cost accounting, financial review, supervision of shooting, post-production, distribution, application for film festivals, etc.

There are also a lot of names, decreasing by level, what chief producer, executive producer, production director, life producer and the like.

Chu Qing's work is the lowest level of life production, uh, of course, he doesn't know.

The day after the crew arrived in Quancheng, the official filming began. Theoretically, Li Yu also has an investment, and he should be counted as a producer or producer, but this woman has no conscience and throws it all to Chu Qing.

So, Ya was properly tired into a dog.

Every night, he had to make announcements and plans for the next day, which he posted on the large walls of the hallway, about the scenes to be filmed, the cast and crew to be filmed, and the time they would work, from the number of lunches to the boxes of mineral water to the length of the film.

The next morning, he had to deploy the vehicles, direct the loading and unloading of equipment, and if he slept lazy, he was also responsible for urging him to get up.

When you arrive at the set, set up a table and make a sign-in sheet, and everyone who arrives and leaves has to sign. Then check the venue, supervise the preparations, and eliminate potential safety hazards.

It's even busier when shooting, and you have to remind the sound engineer to catch the sound, the photographer to focus, record the progress report, and pay attention to when the lunch box will be delivered......

In short, after a few days of filming, Chu Qing found that he was actually the busiest!

Very, very unaccustomed to it, the rules of life that have always been broken in an instant. Those things are not big, but they are very trivial, and you can't wait for them slowly, because you are responsible for the work status of the entire crew, which affects the quality of this work.

It's stressful!

The only thing worth being happy about is probably that he has changed from Qingzi to Qingge...... But Mao doesn't have a sense of accomplishment at all?

Small crew, no way. A radish and a pit, if you want to add manpower, you have to add costs, just more than 600,000 yuan, you can save it.

In fact, when he and Li Yu decided to use 35mm film, they had already thought of the consequences, the two of them were simply walking a tightrope, and they might be short of funds at any time and face a stop to shooting.

Fortunately, Li Yu is more reliable. is not as free as Lao Jia, there are few whims, and the shooting is also fine, and a lot of preparation work is done every day, just to fight for a pass, so as to reduce the consumption of film.

It's quite tragic to say, a typical exchange of manpower for money.

"You can just come next week, don't worry."

"What? Plane...... You are on a plane, do you know how much a plane ticket costs? Just take the train. I'll report to you when it's time to go. ”

Chu Qing hung up the phone and threw it on the bed, feeling a slight soreness in his neck, and twisted it vigorously.

After Liu Ye's grandson graduated. It seems that he is filming some kind of sitcom, and his appearance is not good, and he is scolded by the director all day long for not being able to act.

There's also an actress in there, huh. It's called Xena.

It was a single room, there was no table, and he asked the boss for one. At this time, it was full of colorful bills. Under his elbow, he pressed a notebook, remembering all the expenses of the past few days. On the left-hand side is the calculator, which hurts the brain.

Chu Qing really regretted that he didn't bring Huang Ying's girl, and he forgot about a ready-made tent.

"Seven pieces of lunch...... A total of one hundred and seventy-five ...... Well? He frowned, the cost seemed a little higher.

The crew's breakfast and dinner are mostly solved in the hotel, and during the day, it is the lunch box at noon. He ran several restaurants to find it, the taste was acceptable, the portion was sufficient, and the price was barely acceptable.

But according to the current cost, it seems that the affordability is overestimated, and at this price, it will cost thousands of yuan in more than a month.

He marked it in a conspicuous position with his pen, planning to run around tomorrow to see if there was anything cheaper.

"Knock knock!" Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"Come in!"

Chu Qing said casually, because there were too many things to find him, the door was simply hidden, and it was locked when he was sleeping.

Fan Xiaoye pushed open the door, sneakily showed his head, and then flashed in.

"What are you knocking on?" He turned his head and smiled.

"Tsk! The two of us have this relationship in private, and we usually have that relationship, I have a serious business with you, of course you have to be formal. She leaned over to the table, and the dense numbers were dizzy.

Just this product, the addition and subtraction within a hundred have to be calculated with a pen, and immediately look away.

"What's the matter?" Chu Qing put down the pen and sat sideways.

"It's just that mineral water, drink it all day long, it's too tasteless, can you change the drink?" The girl put on a posture of petitioning, her eyes were shining, and she was very sincere.

"What do you want?"

"I just went shopping and bought a bottle of fruit milk, and it tastes very good, only three yuan."

Chu Qing rolled his eyes, picked up the calculator and clicked it a few times, and said, "It's only three?" Do you know how much water these guys have to drink a day, at least three cases? One box is twelve bottles, thirty-six yuan, and three boxes are one hundred and eight, all of which are worth the lunch money! Besides, there are so many old men in the group, you let them drink fruit milk in the sky? ”

The girl pouted and said, "If you don't buy it, you won't buy it, why do you count so much?" ”

"How are you feeling these days?"

He ignored the complaints and asked serious questions, which was quite a bit of a leader's virtue of caring about the ideological construction of his subordinates.

"Whatever, I just filmed two scenes."

The girl was half-lying on the bed, holding her cheeks, and said, "But the people are not bad, especially Sister Hitomi, who is very good to me." This place, it's okay, at least you can find a store when you go shopping. ”

"Well, tell me something, I'll figure it out." Chu Qing nodded, turned around and continued to settle the account, he hadn't done it yet, so he had to hurry up.

It's rare for a boyfriend to enter a workaholic state, and Fan Xiaoye is not easy to disturb, rolling around with a pillow, silently hilarious.

The two have really communicated very little recently, he is too busy now to have much time to care about her, and he is embarrassed to be too intimate in a public occasion like the crew.

The girl rolled for a while, bored to death, threw away the pillow, stared at the back of his head, and just wanted to slap it hard.

When people are free, she is unhappy, and when they are busy, she is unhappy. In short, you must be self-motivated, but you can't neglect yourself.

"Leader, do you care if we have needs?" She sat up suddenly, asking.

"Well, what's the need? I try to be satisfied. Chu Qingtou didn't reply, coping with it.

She pursed her lips weirdly, got out of bed, moved in small steps, stuck to her boyfriend's back, and said in a greasy voice: "Then you take a shower first." ”

"What?"

He kept writing the shooting plan in his hand.

"You should take a shower first!"

The girl put her arms around his neck and dangled back and forth.

"Don't make a fuss, I'm doing a bunch of things!"

Chu Qing patted her hand.

"Don't you say try to be satisfied!"

She turned around, bullied him in front of him, squeezed into her arms, and said dissatisfiedly: "Go take a bath!" ”

Chu Qing hugged a big obstacle, so he had to stop his pen and asked wonderingly, "Why do you think about this?" ”

"What's going on, how long has it been?"

The girl blinked, calculated, and said, "It's been half a month!" ”

After saying that, as soon as his head was sent, he bit his lip.

Chu Qing squinted his eyes and glanced at the clock on the wall, it was almost ten o'clock, and the notice had to be posted before twelve o'clock.

At this moment, her lower lip was gnawed into her little teeth, and she couldn't speak, so she said helplessly: "You should lock the door first." (To be continued......)
