Chapter 50: Preparing a short play begins
There are still a lot of places worth seeing in this country.,In winter, you can go to Hokkaido and the central part of the island country.。 Hokkaido is very beautiful, and you can make wallpaper by taking a picture, but there are really many people.
After shopping around, I returned to China, first went to Yangzhou, and met with my classmates in Yangzhou.
Song Hairong, Wang Yajing, Zhu Miaotong and the people of the "Aurora Band" were all harassed. Most of them are in universities in Yangzhou, and a few are in the surrounding cities, so they can come as much as they can - although they also gathered at home a few years ago.
They are all quite envious of Li Jingkun, because they have been going to school for a while, and his winter vacation is not over yet.
It was almost over, and after two or three days in Yangzhou, he flew to Kyoto.
In May, he decided to make a short drama, because a few minutes of short films, in fact, from high school to now, have been filmed a lot, and it is time to practice the longer content.
And when I was in high school, no one helped me take charge of the camera, but now with Wang Yang and them, I can occasionally participate in the show and hone my acting skills.
"A little too fast, right? You're just a freshman. ”
After listening to Li Jingkun talk a little about this plan, Su Zhijun said.
"No, I've made two short films since high school, one of which is 18 minutes long, and I definitely have to keep increasing the difficulty and length." Li Jingkun said.
"Listening to the content you introduced, there are seven or eight main characters, plus those with small supporting roles, there are more than a dozen people. Then you have to count the director team, camera team, field service team, etc., at least dozens of people, are you sure you can hold it now? ”
"That's why I didn't make a movie as soon as I came up, and I practiced my skills with a three-episode short drama."
“…… If you are confident, show me the script after it is written, and make a shooting plan. Su Zhijun said.
"Okay." Li Jingkun said.
"I have to calculate the budget, how much is it to prepare?"
"I don't know yet, but I still have a little money, according to the normal shooting budget, two or three hundred thousand is fine."
"Okay, it's good that you have the bottom in your heart." Su Zhijun nodded, that is, a person like him who has ideas and a little money can shoot a short drama so quickly.
The short drama that Li Jingkun wants to shoot is called "The Days of Vacancy", a total of three episodes, which tells the story of the study and life of several students who are seriously biased in the third year of high school.
After spending a few days writing the content of the first episode, Li Jingkun told Wang Yang, Guo Junli and Fang Weida about it.
"I'm going to shoot three episodes together, each episode is about 20 minutes, and the total is almost 60 minutes, which is almost like a movie.
However, the overall difficulty is much lower than making a movie. It's just that of course it's a little more difficult than the short drama we made before, so I'm going to ask you if you have time, and help me when you have time. ”
The three of them were a little surprised by Li Jingkun's pace, and they had a lot of questions to ask for a while.
"Really? Is the script written? ”
"There will be a lot of crew members by then, right?"
"When are you going to start filming? How long is the cycle? ”
Li Jingkun said: "Now that the first episode has been written, the filming plan is also underway, the initial plan is to finish filming in about half a month, and now the preparations are starting, and everything is just about to go on summer vacation, so I plan to start filming in July." Everyone is paid. ”
Li Jingkun said it quite seriously, so they didn't joke and thought about it seriously.
Wang Yang was the first to say: "I'm fine, there is no arrangement for the summer vacation, let alone the opportunity to participate in a crew." ”
Guo Junli said: "What position do you want us to do?" ”
Li Jingkun said: "As we have worked with before, of course, you are in charge of the positions of assistant director and cinematographer, but other chores may also need help. After all, there is no way to fill every position. ”
Guo Junli nodded, in fact, these also depend on the person, if you have the heart, of course there are many things you can do.
Fang Weida said: "You said that you are paid, how much is it?" ”
Wang Yang and Guo Junli's family is better, they don't care about the remuneration, even if they don't give money, they are willing to come. However, Fang Weida's family conditions are average.
"We are a small crew, the budget is not high, I calculate it on a monthly basis. Although the shooting time is half a month, I also need your help in the preparation period. Therefore, according to the month's pay, each of you is three thousand dollars. ”
Fang Weida didn't say anything, I don't know if he thinks less or more.
Wang Yang said, "I don't need it, right?" It would be nice to have me involved. ”
"I don't need to." Guo Junli said.
"This time is different," Li Jingkun said, "We didn't delay much time when we made a three- to five-minute short film before, and we also helped each other, so of course it's okay if we don't charge money." But this time, after all, it will delay you for a month, and you must follow the normal procedure. ”
Fang Weida smiled and said, "Anyway, you're rich, right?" A song can sell for 300,000 yuan, and 3,000 for a photographer is not too much. ”
Of course, 3,000 a month is not a lot to hire photographers, but first, everyone is still a student, and there is still a big gap between technology and professional photographers;
second, everyone is a student, and he also wants to give them a chance to hone their skills;
Third, he will determine the visual style and storyboard script of the skit, and then he just hopes to shoot it according to what he has determined.
And about the amount of remuneration, he also discussed with Su Zhijun, to be honest, according to the current prices, it is not a small amount to ask a freshman to spend 3,000 yuan.
However, if the concept is not consistent, he will not force it.
……
"Yo, rare guest, you came to class in person?"
One day after school, I met Da Tiantian on campus, and Li Jingkun greeted her.
Zhao Tiantian couldn't help but smile: "What do you mean by yin and yang?" Who told me to be busy? ”
"Hey, it's still hello, there is a company to help you solve everything."
Zhao Tiantian is really rich and capricious, and most of the other actors have to be recommended by others or go to an interview to have a chance to act.
As for Zhao Tiantian, no one was looking for her, and she didn't participate in the audition or anything, so she paid her own money to invest, and then became the heroine herself.
This is the case with last year's TV series "The Biography of Sun Tzu", and this year's "My Beauty Big Boss" is also going to be filmed, and the people who play her are also people who have been famous for a long time.
Although Li Jingkun is now making films at his own expense, he also has a lot of contributions, and he has to be a producer, scene manager, and drama manager; I also want to be a director and screenwriter.
Of course, I did the storyboard myself, but in order to reduce the pressure, I invited a senior brother from the anime department to help.
Although it is full of enthusiasm to do, there are still a lot of troubles when there are many things.
"Rich woman, please let me have a cup of coffee." Li Jingkun said.
"Go, it's so ugly." Zhao Tiantian said, "Call another one." ”
"Big brother, please give me a drink."
