Chapter 16 A great death
On May 1, the crew of the Chaoying series completed comprehensive preparations and was officially launched.
First of all, Dong Zixin and Xu Han each brought a crew to the scene.
The ghost town also became lively all of a sudden, and it also attracted a wave of tourists, after all, the crew on Linglan's side also has big names.
It's a pity that Li Xianyun doesn't have time to tease.
As for the superhero...... Hehe, forget it.
Basically, Lin Xiaoyu and Qin Yuyu are leading the way, and the only top celebrity is Han Xinyu, and &bsp&bsp is only a cameo.
Han Xinyu put on a posture that you can use as you like, but unfortunately Li Xianyun didn't dare to do this, the more favors you owe, the more difficult it is to pay back, and besides, you are such a big coffee position, and the big net will affect your value, and Li Xianyun is reluctant to consume Han Xinyu so much.
No, I'm not reluctant.
Li Xianyun instantly denied this.
Then put all your energy into superheroism.
As the chief director, the director does not need him to direct, &bsp&bsp every day I go to see the scene, see what the directors shoot, praise two sentences if you are satisfied, and scold twice if you are not satisfied.
Most of the time it's a lot of scolding.
It's not because the directors shoot badly, but the boss won't give too much praise below.
The film and television industry is different from other industries, directors and photographers have a high degree of freedom, and most of them sign cooperation agreements rather than formal employees.
So the general boss can't control the directors.
But Yisheng Media is different, Li Xianyun is both the boss and the chief director.
The identity of the boss can't control you, but the identity of the chief producer and the chief director can be taken to death.
Therefore, it is said to be busy, but in fact, it is to lead the inspection every day with his hands behind his back.
It's a pity that a few days after the good days, a piece of news stunned Li Xianyun.
The old ghost introduced another crew.
Dongluo Film and Television.
And this time it was a ghost town scenic spot, and the time was a month and a half later.
Not only that, but the ghost town business department and the overseas office also pulled three small crews into the field - the business department successfully returned, full of expectations for the boss's praise, but what I didn't expect to see was Li Xianyun's bitter melon face.
Fuck it!
The crew is crowded together, &bsp&bsp the venue can't be lined up.
The first part of the heroes of the superhero series is basically an exterior location, so it is not filmed in a ghost town, it is not a big problem, the key is the second and third parts, &bsp&bsp The main scenes are all in a ghost town. The reason for this arrangement is to facilitate the interaction of the heroes.
Character interaction, scene interaction, maximize the use of the venue and actors - the actors shoot three plays, and the actors play eight scenes, and they will give money for two, and the cost will be saved.
But as a result, there are about eight actual filming contents of the ghost town.
Open two at the same time, one is counted as 20 days, and it will take 80 days.
Now it's only forty-five days.
How is this enough?
Stop?
The crew has been turned on, and the follow-up staff schedule has been arranged.
The crew can't stop filming when it's turned on, you can't tell the crew that you will shoot here today and you will come back next year, and the money will be given for these two days first - as soon as this kind of thing is released, the scene will be smashed for you.
It's okay to give enough money, but if you don't come next year, it's up to people to say - oops, I'm not available, I'm full.
There is no turning back when you open the bow, you can't stop!
That refuses to be with the rest of the crew?
No, it doesn't.
The ghost town broke the contract as soon as it opened, do you want to do business in the future?
It's okay to say that the small crew will not have a small temper.
Lao Tzu has arranged for you here, have you given me back? You delay my arrangement, how can this account be calculated?
It's not good for you to offend the old ghost, and it's also not good for you to offend other big companies.
This incident made Li Xianyun's head grow instantly.
After some discussion, there was only one way to do it.
Li Xianyun slapped the table, "Damn, fight." While there is still an empty space, the five parts will be opened at the same time! β
If you catch the ducks on the shelves and start shooting at the same time, the theoretical fastest speed can be completed in more than 30 days.
It's easy to say, but it's not easy to do.
The first is staffing.
The crew in the back has already been scheduled, you have to start the film in advance now, it's okay to say if you don't have a job, what if you have a job in your hand now?
So in an instant, a group of people can't come.
I can't help it, so I have to go elsewhere to transfer people, but fortunately, Yisheng Media has also met a lot of peers in the past two years, and it is still convenient to ask for people, but it is urgent, and the price is inevitably higher.
And that's not even the most troublesome.
The most troublesome thing is the crash problem.
This question Li Xianyun quickly tasted the bitter fruit after the filming started.
Because of the five plays, each of which has actors playing with each other, there is a problem with the personnel arrangement.
For example, crew A is going to use an actor, but crew B also has the actor's role, so what should I do?
You said to shoot something else first, sorry, if you change the scene and content, then you have to start again.
Originally, I said that you would come to my side at one o'clock, but I waited for you to get to one and a half, but you didn't arrive, so I had to reset, and it took me an hour to set it up, but you came over, but I don't have your role in this scene now, so what should I do?
Let the actors wait? I'm sorry, but the actor has to go to the third scene soon.
Of course, these are staggered, but it's not easy to get the shooting progress.
If you shoot fast here and slow over there, it will lead to a crash.
And that's just the actor crash.
Props will also crash, and there are always some props common to the crew - to save money, isn't it natural to use the same props repeatedly? Ready-made? Hehe, it's too busy!
Fortunately, there is a disagreement in this one, and the problem is not too big.
The set artist also crashed. Because the scene environment will change with the plot, today it is a white wall, tomorrow it has to graffiti, the day after tomorrow it has to collapse, the day after tomorrow it will ...... , what's the schedule? Build the wall back for Lao Tzu again, Lao Tzu will use it!
This is troublesome, there is a Ke demon in advance, but the scene is ...... You can't do it.
That would scare a bunch of people to death.
The equipment will also crash, because the principle of the equipment rental company is that the longer the rental time, the cheaper, so it is also a long-term scheduling, the plan is that the first crew will shoot, and the later crew will just continue to use, and now it is not enough to start filming at the same time, so you can only rent an additional batch of equipment.
Even life is inconvenient.
The life producer finally contacted the takeaway and delivered it, and asked, what? Aren't you guys eighty people in the crew? How did you become ninety? Oh, from next door? Do I fuck the crew next door, why didn't they say ten less when I brought them a boxed lunch?
I ran back next door to get a boxed lunch, and when I saw it, I had eaten it early.
Who the hell is scolding on the spot, eating more and occupying more? I can't kill you!
It's useless to scold after scolding, let's buy it again, I have to be eaten late when I buy it, and the scolding crew doesn't know the rules for preparing a few more boxed lunches every time? I'm so hungry!
The life producer is very aggrieved, I'm so prepared, I can't stand it, I can eat! There were a few servings of white rice left, and the dishes were gone.
That's not the most terrible thing, and it can be solved in general. Actors can always stagger when they delay something; The scenery can be changed, this wall does not work, use other walls, the big deal is to change the panorama to a close-up view; Props can also be changed, you don't have to have apples to eat apples, Yali pears are also OK; The field workers performed in a group to pull people together; If the equipment is not enough, it can be rented again.
The scariest thing is the crash at the venue.
I'm ready to use your venue for filming, what? Do you have another three days to shoot?
Gotta collapse on the spot.
Just hit one at random, and it's a bunch of big things.
I thought the preparatory work was sufficient, but I really found a bunch of problems as soon as I started doing it.
Venue and venue crashed, actors and actors crashed, crashed all the way, and later even the group performances crashed.
There is also a base for group performances, and both sides have group plays at the same time, what should I do? In a hurry, Li Xianyun could only pull the staff of the ghost town over to make up the number.
The staff in the ghost town also wailed.
That's right, the guests in the ghost town have not yet reached the point of being full, the problem is that we are also newcomers, lack of experience, and lack of processing ability, you have transferred dozens of people here, what should we do?
Li Xianyun: If you don't have the technical ability, I want you to take light photography, but there is actually a shortage of that thing, and several cameras have been temporarily laid off.
That's not all, even ghosts have to crash!
Because it's a real ghost, then the real ghost can't be scheduled?
The crew on the key Linglan side still needs to use ghosts.
The point is that you can't explain it yet.
Special effects, holographic projections!
You can't say that I want to use holographic projection over there, and you can't use it over there, right?
This explanation is not scientific!
It's not an actor, why can't the projections appear at the same time?
There was no way, Li Xianyun could only think of a ruthless trick - the equipment was broken.
So the Linglan crew was cheated - the special effects equipment of the ghost town was paralyzed from time to time.
Later, Dong Fei also became angry: "Why is your equipment so rubbish?" Eight times a day? β
Li Xianyun had to accompany him carefully, "New equipment and new technology, I'm really sorry." β
In the end, he really had no face, so he could only give Linglan another discount and give away a few extra ghost special effects to eliminate Dong Fei's fire.
So later, Li Xianyun, the chief producer and director, didn't have to do anything else in the back, just the work of the chief dispatcher.
Deal with all kinds of problems anytime, anywhere.
As a result, Li Xianyun was so busy that he couldn't sleep enough for only four hours a day, and he was tired like a dog.
Also tired is his assistant Su Haili, who runs all over the field with him, making up for all kinds of leaks, and secretary Li Feng, the rich second generation has just experienced the ultimate joys and sorrows of a big crew when he debuted.
It doesn't work.
The five directors are like five unweaned children, screaming and calling for food every day, why haven't the people on my side come yet, are the flowers waiting for the hell gone, can't this scene be filmed? Director Li, do you still want to work? Don't blame me for being so messy!
At this time, Li Xianyun felt that I was so naΓ―ve, I actually thought that I could do five at the same time.
It's not terrible to shoot five at the same time, but it's really a big death to shoot five interrelated parts at the same time!
But the daughter-in-law she is looking for, no matter how ugly she is, she has to close her eyes.
Gritted his teeth and persevered.
Fortunately, Dou Lingling's agency sent a lot of people to help - they were originally to serve artists, but now artists don't have big wrists, so let's serve the boss first.
So Li Xianyun began to rejoice again - thanks to this series, I didn't find a star.
Celebrities are busier!
The time is calculated by the minute, if you play with the star like this, either you will the star to death, or the star will you off.
Today is another busy day.
At the end, Li Xianyun didn't go home, didn't take a shower, and slept directly on the single wire bed in the office.
I was sleeping in a daze, and the phone rang.
Li Xianyun didn't even look at it, and said directly, "Which one?" I don't have time to chat, hang up. β
Just hang up the phone.
Li Cheng's voice sounded from the opposite side, "It's me, I heard Xiaofeng say that you are in trouble?" β
