The so-called completion of the film shooting here is actually the so-called finalization, that is, the actor's performance and shooting part is completed, but it does not mean that the movie is completed.

Because there is still post-production work such as editing, dubbing, and soundtrack, only when these jobs are completed, the film can be officially applied for release, which can be regarded as truly completed.

But in terms of post-production, there is no need for too many people, because Cao Zhiqiang has long decided that in terms of post-production, the most is to find someone to dub a voice, and most of the other post-production work, such as image rendering, special effects enhancement, and soundtrack, is all done by himself.

Therefore, after the filming is completed, for the crew members who came to participate in the filming, they can basically end their work and go home.

In fact, most of these people are originally Nortel's teachers, students and teaching workers, and the main purpose of this time to shoot is to take advantage of the holiday to make extra money, and they don't have too many other ideas.

Now we can finish smoothly before the start of school, and everyone is quite happy.

After all, this shooting went very smoothly, especially Cao Zhiqiang was very generous, and he was given enough travel expenses, meal allowances, allowances, etc., everyone has not made such a rich film for a long time, so many people are a little embarrassed and even a little reluctant.

But no matter how reluctant you are, the end is the end, and you have to disperse after all.

In order to express gratitude and celebrate, after the filming of the film was completed, Cao Zhiqiang specially invited a few cooks from the hotel, and held a finale banquet at the filming venue, inviting all the people involved in the filming to dinner, which can be regarded as a good gathering and dispersal.

Before the official opening, it is customary to let Cao Zhiqiang, who is also a producer, director, screenwriter and leading actor, speak to everyone first, which is also a common practice.

In a warm applause, Cao Zhiqiang got up and walked to the host's position, and took the microphone from Xu Qingdong, who temporarily served as the emcee.

After taking the microphone, Cao Zhiqiang first knocked on the microphone, which was regarded as a test sound.

After finding that the microphone was fine, Cao Zhiqiang smiled and said, "Everyone, I don't think it's necessary to introduce yourself in the usual way."

After all, it's all my own people here, and we've been together for so much time these days, if you don't know who I am, it's too much to say, right? ”

After a burst of laughter, Cao Zhiqiang laughed again: "I know that everyone hates long speeches, so I'll make a long story short."

First of all, thank you, thank you all for your help this time. Without your hard work, I am afraid that this movie would not have been filmed so smoothly.

The second is appreciation, I appreciate everyone's professionalism and professional ability, which allows me to see how professionals create brilliance.

Finally, and most importantly, hope! ”

Speaking of this, Cao Zhiqiang paused slightly, and then continued: "I think everyone knows that our Hongguang Film Factory is a new factory that has just been established for a short time, and there is almost nothing except for a signboard and my director.

The fact that a film studio like this, which has almost nothing, was able to successfully shoot our first feature film is inseparable from everyone's help.

Without you, I'm a bare-bones commander and I can't do anything.

Therefore, I want to take advantage of this finale banquet to quickly get acquainted with everyone, and I hope that everyone can have more cooperation in the future. ”

At this moment, there was a young man wearing sunglasses below, a gaffer named Liu Mo, who immediately laughed and shouted loudly:

"Don't worry, boss, you give so much wages, food and accommodation are good, and there is even a high temperature subsidy, every day the soda pipe is enough, I have never made such a rich film in my life, if your factory wants to make a film next time, remember to notify me in advance, I will definitely come!"

As soon as the young man began, the others also responded, and they all giggled and said that they would come back next time, and remember to inform them.

Also, in recent years, domestic film studios are all state-owned enterprises, so they are not friendly to photographers.

That is, the director and the leading actors are slightly better, and others like supporting roles, members of the lighting team, members in charge of serving Huadao, etc., the income is much lower.

Not only is the income low, but the general remuneration of the crew members is also low.

For example, the most basic meal, during the filming of many film crews, the food of the film crew is generally steamed buns and pickles, plus boiled water.

That is, the leading actor and the director can occasionally open a small stove and occasionally eat meat once or twice, which is usually out of pocket.

It can be said that at present, one of the major film studios in China is counted as one, except for Bayi Factory, which is slightly better, other film studios are quite stingy in treating ordinary staff, especially the food expenses, which are quite picky.

Cao Zhiqiang is different here.

Although he also implements the strategy of treating food expenses equally, like other film studios, that is, the members of the camera crew are the same in terms of food regardless of their position and the nature of their work.

But Cao Zhiqiang's food standards are high!

The food standard formulated by Cao Zhiqiang for everyone is a standard four dishes and one soup, and rice steamed bread is optional, if you want to eat rice, you want to eat steamed bread, you want to eat steamed bread.

In order to make everyone feel more at ease filming, the food during filming was prepared in advance in the large canteen of Yuhong Machinery Factory, and then pulled to the filming location by a large truck.

There are also cutlery and gas canisters on the truck, which can be heated on site, so it's important that everyone can have a hot meal.

At the same time, if the weather is hot, everyone will be given popsicles, which is considered a high temperature subsidy.

In addition, a truckload of soda will be brought over every day, and everyone can drink soda with an open belly, as much as you want.

The food supply is such a good shooting unit, and everyone has really never encountered it so far.

Not only that, Cao Zhiqiang's salary for everyone is also several times higher than that of the outside world.

For example, the gaffer, Cao Zhiqiang's salary is ten yuan a day, which is simply the price of an ordinary starring actor.

You must know that ordinary lighting engineers in other crews, such as Beijing Film Studio, it would be good to have five cents a day.

But here, Cao Zhiqiang directly multiplied twenty times!

Giving a gaffer a salary of ten dollars a day is simply unheard of.

In fact, in Cao Zhiqiang's view, the money given to the gaffer is not more, but less.

You know, for a crew, especially for actors, the role of the gaffer is too great.

Because light is the best concealer, if the light is played well, it can shoot a beautiful effect.

On the contrary, if the lighting is not good, it will make people look very ugly, and the atmosphere will change completely.

Therefore, the lighting engineer is really important, even if the status in Hong Kong and Taiwan is very important, and most of them are called lamp masters.

There is only the mainland, and I don't care too much about the lighting engineer at present, after all, the national conditions are different.

There are also members of the props team in charge of the service of Huadao, the lowest-paid assistant among them, who also earns five yuan a day, and the highest can reach ten yuan a day.

In other words, the people who come here to film, even if they get the least money, have five yuan a day, and this income can be comparable to the income of ordinary leading actors if they are in other crews.

So how much do actors make?

Heroes and heroines like Cao Zhiqiang and Zhu Lin have a fixed salary of 30 yuan per day, which is the price within eight hours a day, and if the filming time exceeds eight hours, overtime pay will be calculated, and the overtime pay is 5 yuan per hour.

Supporting roles of child stars like Yu Feihong and Qiao Simei, who have a lot of scenes, have a fixed salary of 15 yuan per day, and overtime pay is also counted as overtime pay for more than eight hours, and overtime pay is 3 yuan per hour.

And other adult supporting roles such as Cui Xinqin , Ma Yingbo and other adults have a fixed salary of ten yuan per day, overtime pay for more than eight hours, and overtime pay is one yuan per hour.

As for the other tricks, the money will be calculated according to the number of filming scenes.

I want to say here that during the filming process, many people wear multiple hats, such as many props team members, who will work part-time as tricks, and supporting roles sometimes do part-time logistics when there is no scene, such as helping people get a soda or something.

In other words, during the filming process, everyone was not lazy, they were all looking for work on their own, and they were very motivated.

Cao Zhiqiang secretly asked Xu Qingdong before, saying that this is not common in other crews.

Xu Qingdong has also heard of this kind of scene of looking for work by himself, but he has never seen it.

However, the approximate reason can be guessed, it is nothing more than Cao Zhiqiang giving too much, not doing more work, feeling that he is not going, and the money is hot.

This made Cao Zhiqiang very embarrassed, and felt that the people of this era were simple.

Unfortunately, this is the time to go.

After a while, after the economic wave floods the whole country, everyone will start to look at money, and I am afraid that there will never be this classic scene of finding something to do by yourself.

Soon, after everyone's laughter and laughter, it gradually quieted down.

At this time, Cao Zhiqiang continued to hold the microphone and said: "Don't worry, everyone cooperates so happily, and we will not forget everyone when we shoot new dramas in the future." ”

"Will there be this treatment?" Liu Mo, the young gaffer who was the first to respond, asked loudly.

"Only high, not low!" Cao Zhiqiang said.

"That's fine!" That Liu Mo immediately said loudly, "When the time comes, greet me, I will designate to come!" ”

After a pause, that Liu Mo asked again: "By the way, if your film factory recruits people, can I go to your factory to do it?" ”

"Of course." Cao Zhiqiang turned to that Liu Mo and said, "Our film studio has just been established, and there is a shortage of people everywhere, talents like you, if you are really willing to come, I can't ask for it!" ”

"Then I'm really here." Liu Mo said.

But soon, there was a person next to him: "Black dog, you're almost done, you're going, don't you want the establishment of your youth factory?" ”

"Don't do it!" Liu Mo said, "Just the broken youth factory, it is said that there is an establishment, but now what is the purpose of the melons and dates distributed every month?" I'm struggling to support myself, and if I continue like this, when will I become a leader? I still want to make more money and marry a daughter-in-law! ”

Immediately afterwards, Liu Mo began to ask Cao Zhiqiang again: "Director Cao, no, Director Cao, if I go to you, how much salary can I give?" ”

Cao Zhiqiang was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "If you are really willing to come, I am in charge, if there is no filming, your fixed salary is fifty yuan per month, if there is filming, under normal circumstances, it will follow the model of this drama, and the daily salary of filming does not conflict with your basic salary." ”

"Really?" Liu Mo's eyes immediately widened, "Are you serious?" A fixed salary of fifty per month, if you want to use me for filming, you will pay me according to the standard of this drama? ”

"Of course it's true." Cao Zhiqiang nodded.

As soon as they heard this, the scene immediately coaxed, and everyone began to talk to each other.

Without him, if what Cao Zhiqiang said is true, then this treatment is too good.

You must know that at this time, the income of the crew members of ordinary film studios is actually very low.

For example, Liu Mo, who works in Nortel Youth Film Factory, can be regarded as a staff, but even so, when there is no filming, he can only get a fixed salary of 20 yuan per month.

Twenty yuan, what can I do this year, especially in that place in the capital.

Even if there is filming, the income of a gaffer like Liu Mo is not high, and it would be good to have a piece of eight cents a day during filming.

Cao Zhiqiang is good here, if Liu Mo goes over and doesn't film, the fixed salary will be fifty yuan, which is comparable to that of a big director.

If filming is according to the standards of this drama, it is a subsidy of ten yuan a day, then the income is much higher.

Older people may pay more attention to what is compiled, but for young people, money is the most important thing.

Therefore, Liu Mo was really tempted.

Don't say that Liu Mo is tempted, many people are tempted.

It's a pity that everyone is more interested in stability after all, and there are still many doubts about a newly established Hongguang Film Factory.

After all, although the treatment is good, if the factory is not strong enough and will end soon, then no matter how good the treatment is, it will be a blank check.

Obviously, Liu Mo also had concerns about this, so he asked directly: "Director Cao, is your Hongguang Film Factory reliable?" ”

Cao Zhiqiang was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "You are asking the right person, after all, I am the factory director, hahaha!"

Since you asked me, I'll tell you the truth.

In fact, our Red Light Film Factory, if you want to talk about qualifications, it must not work, but if you want to talk about strength, you really haven't been afraid of anyone. ”

Immediately afterwards, Cao Zhiqiang smiled and said: "What is the strength, so let's do it, I think our photographer has the most right to speak." ”

After speaking, Cao Zhiqiang turned his head and found a photographer and said: "Come, this Master Song, you come to tell everyone, how many cameras did we use for this shooting, what is the brand of the camera, what is the condition, and what is the value?" ”

The middle-aged photographer named by Cao Zhiqiang frowned, stood up and said: "This, we used a total of six cameras for this shooting, all of which are Panavisin cameras from the United States, brand new."

This kind of camera is quite expensive, and it is generally used in Hollywood, and it is used in other places to a lesser extent.

As for my country, as far as I know, we don't use this kind of camera in the whole country, and I've only heard of the Panavisin brand, but when it comes to using it, it's the first time I've used it with you.

Not to mention, this rice product is really easy to use, much better than Alleyo in West Germany.

Not only that, but the photography accessories we used this time, especially the various lenses, are also quite complete.

Tripods, pulley sets, wide-angle lenses, long-range lenses, soft light filters, etc., all of them are there, and it's hard to imagine.

Suffice it to say, the combined value of these six cameras, along with the accessories, is immeasurable.

If these cameras were rented, it would be fine, but if they were bought, then the value would be hard to say.

If you have to say it, these instruments add up to at least tens of millions of dollars...... USD! ”
