Kyoto border, Longhu Film and Television City.

Two or three staff members stood in front of a cart covered with white quilts and began to hand out steaming boxed lunches to the extras, rushing up to the scene as if they were helping refugees.

Bancun followed the gold ingots and walked forward, and his eyes had already been aimed at which box had more meat in his eyes.

As soon as his arm tightened, his courage to move forward was interrupted instantly.

"Brother?"

Ban Cun glanced back at Jiang Yang, pointed to the lunch stall and said, "Let's go get one too, I'm hungry." ”

"Get down to business first."

Jiang Yang looked at the door of the film and television city on the right, and then said, "Brother will invite you to a big dinner in the evening." ”

After that, he extinguished the cigarette butt, wrapped his military coat tightly, put his collar up, and walked towards the gate of the film and television city with his head down.

Ban reluctantly glanced at the lunch stall, and at this time, the gold ingots had already picked up a box and squatted on the ground to eat.

Licking his lips, he still followed Jiang Yang's footsteps and left.

Since it was noon, both the staff in the filming base and the crew arrived at the hotel, and everyone was busy with the little things on their stomachs, and no one paid attention to what the two extras were doing.

Longfor Film and Television City is a relatively old cinema in Kyoto, and the shooting scenes and themes are only ancient costumes and the Anti-Japanese War, due to the small investment cost and remote location, the fee is much cheaper than that of Hengzhuang.

There are a few buildings in the Republic of China, a few bunker walls, plus some ancient streets that can't tell what dynasties, and some eggplants, peppers and corn made of plastic molds are hung outside, which is considered a film and television city.

Despite this, there are not a few crews who come here to shoot.

Just when everyone was grabbing a boxed lunch, there were also many crews filming seriously.

You must know that whether it is the venue, the machine or the actors, once the camera is turned on, these things are charged according to the time, and one more minute of filming may save a lot of costs.

Jiang Yang put his hands in the cuffs of his military coat, leaned against a pillbox, and looked at a crew not far away in a daze.

"Brother, what are we doing here? Don't film? ”

The board leaned against the bunker and asked.

"Pat yourself on the head."

Jiang Yang's chin nodded at the busy crowd in the distance: "Let's figure out what these crews are filming, which companies are going to get it, who the investors are, and the most important point, is whether they are short of money." ”

"I see."

Ban Cun nodded seriously: "I understand, brother." ”

Jiang Yang was stunned: "What do you understand?" ”

Shibei was impressed by the three days, and it seems that the board has indeed improved. Ban Cun thought for a while and said: "You want to bring the capital group and play the male number one!" ”

Jiang Yang looked at the board meaningfully: "I shouldn't have this kind of thought about you." ”

"What do you mean?"

I don't know what to do.

Jiang Yang patted Bancun's shoulder: "It's nothing, praise you." ”

At this moment, a roar suddenly came from the distance.

"Shoot !!!!"

This voice frightened Ban Cun.

Hurriedly lay on the bunker and stared cautiously into the distance.

I saw that in the opposite half-pulled city wall, several camera racks were very high, and a lot of torches lit with plastic bags were burned inside, and the gunpowder that had been buried early was ignited, and the rumbling sound exploded, so it was not lively.

The extras jumped to their feet, then fell heavily to the ground, motionless.

One of them grabbed a handful of ash from the ground and wiped it on his face before he "died", which was quite dedicated.

Several men in blue combat uniforms lay under the city walls.

"Second Battalion Commander!"

"Here!!"

"Where's your fucking Italian cannon? Pull it for me!! ”

"Yes!!"

The actors' dialogue was so loud that Jiang Yang and Bancun, who were lying in the distance, heard it clearly.

Bancun's eyes widened: "Holy! It's exciting! ”

A smile appeared on Jiang Yang's face: "Wonderful......"

As soon as the wind blew, all the sand and dust on the bunker entered the mouths of the two people, and the two people kept "puffing" out, and the sand was crunchy in their mouths.

Ban Cun was looking at it vigorously, Jiang Yang stretched out his hand and patted him: "Let's go." ”

The two stooped down and walked along the dilapidated city walls, and soon found a sign outside an inconspicuous room.

The sign and banner read: "Bright Sword" crew filming location in Kyoto.

It's a pity that you can only see the name of the preparatory team and the preparatory company, and there is not even a phone number.

Jiang Yang quickly took out a pen and paper and wrote down the content on it.

The pen and paper were placed in the pocket inside the military coat, apparently prepared.

Ban Cun looked confused: "Brother, let's come all the way here, just to do this?" ”

Jiang Yang didn't care about explaining to Bancun, and said, "Let's go, the next one." ”

After that, he glanced at the company name of the crew again, cocked up his collar, and continued to walk inside.

As a veteran film shooting base in Kyoto, Longfor Film and Television City is not as good as Hengzhuang in many conditions, but the price advantage still makes many crews choose to shoot here.

Generally speaking, if you want to shoot a movie or TV series completely, you have to go to many places.

For example, "Bright Sword" just now, maybe some streets, rural bunkers, and city wall scenes will be chosen here, and after these scenes are filmed, the crew will be transferred to Jin Province or Hebei Province to shoot.

In order to save costs, the filming of the TV series is never in the order of episodes, but all of them are disrupted, and the assistant director in charge of this part will pick out all the scenes about a certain scene in this story according to the script, shoot them all at once, and then go to the next place, and so on.

In recent years, the media industry in the mainland is in its embryonic stage, and it is completely different from the development of Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Most investors will pay attention to projects such as movies with small investment, short cycles, and simple and crude returns, rather than choosing to invest in TV series.

Because it's too difficult for TV series to make profits.

If you have a backstage, you can get a good channel and a good time period, but if it is a private media company, it will suffer, not only the TV station will not give money, but it is also very likely to spend money to buy the channel, and after the broadcast, you will go to the advertisers, and the advertising fee will be distributed to the TV station half.

The problem is that whether the movie can sell for money or not, at least it can be left to fate, and it is up to the market and the people to decide.

And once the TV series is filmed, it is completely up to the TV station to have the final say.

The TV station said that you can do it, even if you shoot a lump of poop, people will watch it, because in addition to advertisements on TV these days, it is a program arranged by the TV station. What is arranged, the people have to see what they want.

Once the TV station says that you can't do it, you just shoot a fairy, and people won't broadcast it to you, just wait for the coolness.

In the era of lack of entertainment, as long as it is a thing, some people will watch it with relish, and even applaud.

Under the trend of this general environment, most of the companies that can still insist on shooting TV series are somewhat risky.

Ninety percent of the crew has already opened the first scene with a long-term attitude, at least one or two years, at most three or five years, and even a TV series has been filmed for more than ten years.

There is only one reason: there is no money.

The crew found hundreds of thousands, and the director waved his hand, first start the film, and then talk about it, shoot a little is a little.

If the money can't keep up, stop temporarily, and all the staff will go out to pull funds, and continue when the money is in place.

And the actors of this generation are even more stringed by several crews, and where the work starts, they will go to shoot wherever they go. often doesn't come back to his senses because of the scene in crew A, and brings the state into crew B.

And this situation is usually called by insiders: string play.
