On December 25th, the ghost detection record was officially launched.

Don't look at the three sets of films, compared with the past, this time can be regarded as Li Xianyun's most attentive creation.

Li Xianyun's requirements are also extraordinarily high.

From the beginning of the setting, Li Xianyun was deeply involved in every link.

Whether it is scene layout, art, or actor action choreography, Li Xianyun is in charge of it all the way to the end, watching it repeatedly, and grinding it repeatedly.

For him, the ghost record is the most important growth work for him to improve his directing level.

"Click!"

On the set today, Li Xianyun shouted.

Several actors stopped and watched Li Xianyun together.

Li Xianyun touched his chin and said, "The sense of the camera is not quite right. Dasheng, you can help me take a look, what's the problem. ”

Rong Dasheng leaned over to take a look and said, "There is a problem with the lens design. ”

"How to fix it?"

Rong Dasheng smiled: "You let me be the director, I'll do it." ”

"Damn!" Li Xianyun gave him a middle finger.

People are selfish, originally they were friends, and it's okay to give two pointers, but now that you are a director and I am a photographer, why should I teach you?

Of course, you can also give money, and that is a single charge.

Li Xianyun can understand and will not resent Rong Dasheng because of this, but the problem always has to be solved.

At this moment, looking at the camera is a bit of a headache.

This shot is the horror of the heroine when she encounters the supernatural phenomenon for the first time, but I always feel that the effect is not very good.

Zhao Yunyang next to him leaned over and looked at it, and said, "It might be better if this lens was zoomed by Hitchcock." ”

Hitchcock zoom is a sliding zoom technique invented by the master of horror films, Hitchcock, by changing the focus to continuously zoom in and out of the background, which is the most suitable for creating a horror atmosphere, and it is also a commonly used technique in horror films.

Li Xianyun sighed: "I know Hitchcock zoom, but isn't the quality of the Alai mini not good enough, and the effect is not good?" ”

"Who told you that Alai didn't work well on this?" Zhao Yunyang was surprised: "Alai is no problem at all, the technology is in place, and the mobile phone can shoot." ”

"What did you say?" Li Xianyun was stunned and looked at the white crane not far away.

The white crane lowered his head and did not speak.

Rong Dasheng was also a little strange: "What's the situation?" ”

Li Xianyun's face turned slightly cold: "When filming the ghost battle in the secret room, I once wanted to use Hitchcock zoom, and they said that the effect of Alai was not good. ”

Zhao Yunyang and Rong Dasheng understood, and looked at the white crane together.

At that time, one was the photographer in Group B who was expelled, and the other was Hakuzuru.

Rong Dasheng was somewhat understanding, and said with a smile: "Slide zoom has certain technical requirements, and the income of small films is small, so everyone generally doesn't want to be so troublesome." ”

Li Xianyun snorted: "I think I may not have the opportunity to cooperate in the future." But I also understand, as a director, you not only have to understand the language of the camera, but also have to understand the technology, otherwise the people below will fool you casually, and you won't know. ”

Saying that, Li Xianyun said: "Hitchcock zoom, just press this." ”

He didn't bother with Bai He, everyone was not familiar with each other at the beginning, and it was normal to play some tricks on each other, if he didn't continue to do this in the future, it could still be used, but if there was another time, Li Xianyun would let him roll as far as he wanted.

Bai He's incident made Li Xianyun further realize that to become an excellent director, he needs not only basic directing skills, but also many other professional standards.

Originally, Li Xianyun was in the same room with Jiang Zheng, but in order to improve his photography knowledge, he transferred Zhao Yunyang and Jiang Zheng.

Every night, Li Xianyun and Zhao Yunyang would discuss the knowledge of photography, understand their shortcomings during the day, prepare plans for tomorrow, and make corrections to the next work content.

Soon, however, a new situation emerged.

After filming today, Li Xianyun returned to the room and took a closer look at the crew's report.

In addition to being a director, he is also a producer, so he is also responsible for the operation of the crew, including various financial expenditures.

Looking at it at this moment, his face suddenly became gloomy.

Li Xianyun frowned and said, "What's going on with the artist?" The garden behind the villa, how can it cost 50,000 yuan? ”

"I'll take a look." Zhao Yunyang, who went to bed without taking a shower, came over in briefs to take a look, and said with a smile: "Well, it's a little damp." I estimate that 40,000 will be able to do it. ”

"No, it's thirty thousand." Li Xianyun replied in the affirmative.

——————

Speaking of which, the crew is not a producer's business, but there is no money from top to bottom.

The producer wants to make money for investment, and the people below also have their own ways.

The assistant director of the actor contacts the actor, an actor is 30,000 yuan, and the actor may be 18,000, and the group leader will pit money from the group performance, and a group performance may give seventy or eighty, but he can ask you for two or three hundred. But these are not pit money, but the rules of the industry - after all, this is the bowl of rice that people eat.

But some of them belong to the pit.

For example, if the external producer contacts the venue, he can ask you for 5,000 for 3,000 rent for a venue - according to the rules of the industry, you can't go past him to find someone else, otherwise it will be ruining people's jobs. Therefore, the rules of the trade are sometimes used to protect the black hand.

In addition, the clothing team has to rent clothes, so they also have to make money on clothing and cosmetics; The props group has to make props, and there are also means to make money; The scenery artist is a big way to make money. And the means are hidden, even Hollywood people can't solve it - their only solution is to pay high salaries.

Even actors are pitted, this time Shen Rong came over, and she had to ask for leave for a temporary change, in fact, she was going to run a commercial performance, which was also a disguised pit for money, and this already belonged to the most unpit category.

It can be said that there is room for money everywhere in the crew, and it is not easy to verify.

Because many of the crew's employees are self-employed, they don't have a company, and they can't issue bills to you - you can't always speak to the group, today's 200 yuan, you can open a ticket for me, right?

Then the group performance went to the group leader: You took half of it, let's go buy an invoice and open a hundred each?

Isn't that?

The group leader has to jump to find the producer: Who asked you to tell the group performance that you gave 200? You don't follow the rules, I told him it's only a hundred and fifteen! I'm going to tell everyone that I'm not going to work with you anymore.

Then your reputation in this industry will stink, and all kinds of brokers will really ignore this kind of person, unless you open ten times the price.

It's the same with buying materials, isn't it just a receipt, it's very difficult to open a high point? As long as you give him an extra ten yuan in profits, he dares to give you a hundred yuan in profits.

In the original world, Li Xianyun met a boss by chance.

The boss happened to invest 1 million to become a network university, and he was full of confidence at the time, maybe he felt that something was wrong later, so he asked Li Xianyun to help check the accounts.

If you want to check the accounts, you have to look at the crew, and you have to look at the finished film.

The finished film is with the live DIT, and where the live DIT lives, only the producer and the live producer responsible for delivering the film know - the producer is cunning and does not let anyone else touch it.

So Li Xianyun first found the person who delivered the film as an investor, gave some benefits, and then found the hotel where DIT stayed and touched it to bluff: "I am an investor, you don't have to be nervous." I know you're only responsible to the producer, but I'm not here to check the accounts, I'm here to see what the director's quality is. I used to have a good director, but because this director can't shoot something temporarily, I don't worry about the current level of this director, so I just came to see his level. But you also know that if this matter gets out and the producer and director know, it must be in a bad mood, and then the rest of the work will not be able to be done...... But if you don't let me see it, I won't be able to settle the rest of the money......"

With such a bluff and threat, Li Xianyun saw the film smoothly, and even felt clearly where the master disk was - if necessary, it was also a means to take the master disk away.

watched the finished part of the film, and then explored the crew and progress, and had the bottom in his heart, Li Xianyun went to tell the investors that the crew would lose at least 700,000 yuan.

The investor was blindsided at that time - I thought there was a black spot, but I didn't expect it to be so big!

Then Li Xianyun checked further and knew that there was a middleman in it - the meaning of the existence of the middleman is to isolate the connection between investors and the crew, otherwise Li Xianyun would not have to check the accounts in this way.

There is no doubt that some of the money lost in this pit is the middleman who makes the profit, and some of it is the producer and the rest of the crew.

At that time, Li Xianyun told the investor that the middleman was not a fund, and he could help get it back if he didn't have such strict means, but it was difficult to get back the money that entered the crew.

Because the crew has started up, some of the money is really paid.

When false pay and real pay are mixed together, it will be difficult to do it.

In addition, there is another reason, that is, this part of the crew is not taken by the producer alone, and it is likely that there are also directors and bosses of each group. The people brought by the boss of each group will only listen to the boss, and if you ask for this money, it is tantamount to going against the whole crew, and no one will cooperate with you.

In the end, the crew has been turned on, once such a thing happens, the crew will definitely be paralyzed, but the money may not be able to be returned - the crew doesn't care if you are filming or what you are doing, staying here for a day is a day's money. You can't do the work, and you can't leave the money unpaid.

In the end, Li Xianyun and the investor discussed and decided that Li Xianyun was responsible for getting the money back from the middleman. Li Xianyun took 20 percent of the money he wanted back.

The money to enter the crew can be given up appropriately, and it will be made at a high price, at least not nothing.

So Li Xianyun ran over to find a middleman and asked for an audit, but the middleman was not as professional as Li Xianyun, how could he stand up to the investigation? didn't agree, Li Xianyun called the police directly, the middleman did not participate in the production, the account was not so fine, and the key was that the investor would come over to check the account, so he had to spit out money after Li Xianyun promised not to trouble him.

Cao Temei is a full 500,000, which means that there should be about 200,000 problems on the producer's side.

After the money came back, Li Xianyun thought about it again, so he went to the producer to talk.

He told the producer: I know that this crew is tired, and the actual cost of the film will not exceed 300,000. You give me a bribe of 50,000 yuan, and I will let you go, otherwise I will really stop the crew and conduct a comprehensive investigation, and it is not that it cannot be found, and no one will benefit at that time, and you may have to suffer a lawsuit.

Spitting money and bribery are two different concepts.

Spit out money is a confession, and it is all spit, there is no possibility of leaving a little, of course everyone can not admit it without admitting it, and they can do it for the sake of money; The bribe is called cost, which means that it is one's own person, and it does not need to be paid in full, and the key is also security.

So in the end, the producer, the director and several bosses discussed it and gave Li Xianyun 50,000 yuan.

But these guys aren't easy to get along with.

In particular, the producer also communicated with the middleman, knowing that Li Xianyun got back 500,000 yuan, and the investors didn't trust them anymore, and the back and out accounts would still be staring, the original plan was to make this film less than 300,000, but now it may be 400,000.

In other words, everyone is busy until the end, in addition to the additional benefits of 50,000 yuan in salary, so many people share, how much money can they get into their own hands?

I'm annoyed.

So as soon as the crew finished the show, they called the investor and said that Li Xianyun took 50,000 yuan from us - why do you still have the face to make such a call.

Unexpectedly, the investor directly scolded them and told them to get the film back, and you don't have to worry about anything to announce it later.

The producer was confused.

They didn't know about the 50,000 yuan bribe money, and Li Xianyun told the investor as soon as he got it: I got back 50,000 yuan by taking bribes, but I want half of the money.

That's it, the investor and Li Xianyun each shared 25,000.

In Li Xianyun's words, this is called: the agreed remuneration is according to the rules, and the additional income should be half.

Interests must be contested, principles must be emphasized, and there is no deception, so it is natural to ask for it.

This is Li Xianyun's principle.

The producer didn't expect Li Xianyun to turn black money into money, and the villain was heartbroken, and he spit out part of the benefits in his hand, and he was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. And Li Xianyun was also taken aback after getting the investor's call: I really underestimated the villain, but fortunately, Lao Tzu is not a demon and is not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door.

As for the investor, this film is actually destined to lose money, but because of Li Xianyun, the amount of loss has dropped significantly, so the two have become good friends.

Originally, the investors wanted to continue to make films in the future and asked Li Xianyun to help as a producer, but unfortunately it didn't take long for the epidemic to appear, and the big boss's business had problems, so he didn't have extra funds to make movies for the time being.

Li Xianyun regretted that a good thigh of friendship flew like this - the only thing that was fortunate was that the movie he originally planned to do was hunting against time, and he was also killed by review.

Being shot at both ends made Li Xianyun feel a lot better - at least it didn't fall short.

And then it crossed.
