Chapter 81: The Kick-off Banquet
On October 13, a hotel in Qiongzhou.
In a few days, all the crew members of "A Good Show" have arrived in batches, so at 6 o'clock that night, the start-up banquet was held as scheduled.
As the most important film project of Huarui Film and Television, although the president Shen Zhuo was unable to come because of busy affairs, Song Huaiyuan, the manager of the distribution department, still rushed over from Yanjing from afar.
As soon as the boot banquet began, he raised his wine glass, "Director Fang, I toast you, I wish you a smooth shooting!" ”
"Okay, thank you, Manager Song." Fang Bo smiled, raised his glass and touched it with him, and then both of them drank it all.
Feng Shuming on the other side said: "Director Fang, I won't say more, in short, you can rest assured to shoot, leave other chores to me, I will do my best." ”
Fang Bo poured another glass of wine into the cup, and said politely: "Producer Feng, filming on the island is not easy, and the logistics work depends on you to coordinate, hard work." ”
After drinking it in one go, seeing that Huang Jingshan, Li Hao and others at the same table were still holding wine glasses, Fang Bo hurriedly put down the glass, "Okay, okay, let's drink it later, let's eat some food first." ”
He drank an average amount of alcohol, didn't eat a mouthful of food, drank two glasses of white in a row, and his stomach was already a little uncomfortable, so let's eat something first.
"Director Fang, this spicy chicken is good, you can taste it." Yuan Lu intimately turned the revolving table, knowing that Fang Bo was from Sichuan Province, so he transferred the spicy dishes with a heavier taste to him.
"Okay."
Fang Bo has been busy preparing for the start-up these days, and every meal has not been lost, but he has eaten casually to deal with two bites, and he has not been in a serious restaurant for a long time, smelling the smell of food, he can't help but move his index finger, and pick up the chopsticks to pick up the vegetables.
Seeing that Fang Bo was overwhelmed by alcohol, Huang Jingshan helped move the position of the dish, and said with a smile: "Director Fang is right, we will shoot tomorrow, let's drink less wine and eat more vegetables." ”
So the others didn't toast anymore, anyway, everyone wanted an atmosphere, and they didn't have to get the director drunk.
Only Li Hao expressed his gratitude, and gave Fang Bo another toast, but he poured himself wine, and Fang Bo poured a drink.
The kick-off banquet didn't end until 8 p.m.
Song Huaiyuan still had something to do in the company, and it was inconvenient to stay in Qiongzhou for a long time, so he took a car to the airport after the show.
It was not easy for people to come all the way, so Fang Bo sent him to the car at the door of the hotel, witnessed the car go away, and then returned to his room to rest.
Lying on the bed, he suddenly felt a little nervous when he thought that tomorrow would be officially filmed.
This is the first time he has directed a 10-million-level movie, and he has to shoot on the island, and he doesn't know if the shooting can go smoothly.
Thinking about it, he sat up, picked up his phone, and called his parents.
"Hey, son." It was Xiao Mei who answered the phone.
Hearing the familiar voice, Fang Bo's anxiety in his heart subsided at once, and he noticed the sound of the TV series on his mobile phone, and asked with a smile, "Mom, what about watching TV?" ”
The two chatted for a long time, and Xiao Mei instructed Fang Bo to pay attention to his body, and not to stay up late every day like when he was filming "Night Club" before.
Fang Lei also interjected a few words from time to time, expressing his concern for Fang Bo in his own way.
Fang Bo naturally agreed again and again, listening to his parents' chatter, he didn't feel bored at all, but kept smiling on the corner of his mouth.
Because I bought a well-decorated house, the family had already moved into a new house at this time, and the renovation of the noodle restaurant was completed.
However, now Fang Bo's career has been successful, Xiao Mei and Fang Lei no longer rely on the income of the noodle restaurant to live, and they no longer have to be as busy as before, they open the door for a few hours every morning and afternoon, do business when they have business, rest when they don't have business, and live a much easier life.
After making a phone call to his parents, Fang Bo seemed to be filled with electricity, and the uneasiness in his heart disappeared without a trace, and he became high-spirited again.
After a night's rest, the next morning, everyone in the crew took a boat to the island.
It is an uninhabited island, very undeveloped, with abundant vegetation, beaches and caves, which perfectly meets the needs of shooting.
The only drawback is that the island is uninhabited, the transportation is inconvenient, the transportation is all by boat, and the logistics of the crew's life are more troublesome.
Fortunately, Fangbo is very well prepared, and some staff have already been arranged to go to the island some time in advance, and the temporary wharf and dormitory and other facilities have been built.
The ship sailed for hours at sea and finally arrived at the place.
The crew has only one or twenty large and small actors, as well as photography, lighting, makeup and other departments, no matter how streamlined, there are dozens of people together, and they are suddenly messy when they get off the boat.
Seeing this, Fang Bo picked up the megaphone and said loudly: "Don't walk around, the dormitory is divided by department, you stand first, and then take a rest after going to the dormitory, let's start filming in the afternoon." ”
Hearing the director's instructions, everyone hurriedly lined up and stood according to their respective departments.
Fang Bo took everyone to the temporary dormitory area, and after assigning the rooms to everyone, the time was noon.
After lunch, the crew will officially start filming after a short lunch break.
"Come on, come on, hang the firecrackers over there!"
"The banner is a little crooked, let's rehang it."
According to the practice of the film industry, there must be a start-up ceremony before the start of filming of a movie, and at two o'clock in the afternoon, everyone in the crew will be busy with it.
After the preparation was completed, Fang Bo, as the director, lit the firecracker, and with a crackling sound, uncovered the red cloth covering the camera.
He raised the horn, met everyone's eyes, took a deep breath, endured the excitement in his heart, and said: ""A good show", start the film!" ”
"It's good to go!"
Huang Jingshan took the lead in applauding, and everyone cheered in unison.
This is the end of the short start-up ceremony.
Fang Bo beckoned: "Everyone move, let's start filming immediately!" ”
According to the shooting plan, the crew will first finish filming the green screen shots that need to be done with special effects, so the first scene of today is about the exterior of the big ship.
On the reef beach, the location where the big ship ran aground in the plot was set up in advance and covered with a green cloth, so that the actors could perform it during filming.
There are only two actors to appear in this scene, Huang Jingshan and Yuan Lu, and the heroes and heroines in the plot have just landed on the island, and their images have not changed much, so their makeup and styling are quickly done.
"Director Fang, the makeup is ready, you can take a look."
After a while, the makeup artist shouted not far away.
"Okay, here." Fang Bo walked over.
Yuan Lu's makeup is very light, and there are no traces of makeup, because the heroine in the scene has just washed her hair, so her hair is deliberately wet.
It is worth mentioning that she is 29 years old this year, and Huang Jingshan is 39 years old, and the age difference between the two is 10 years.
In order not to let the audience notice this, the makeup artist carefully designed a light makeup, and some subtle changes made her look more mature.
Yuan Lu's image is still very clean, but Huang Jingshan on the side is different, his hair is a little messy, and his chin has grown stubble, giving people a rough feeling.
"Okay, so be it."
Fang Bo checked it carefully, and found no problem, so he asked the two actors to go and take their places.
