Chapter 31: The Problem of Makeup

When Han Xinyu woke up in the early morning, he saw Li Xianyun sitting on the sofa reading a book in pajamas.

Han Xinyu walked over lazily, "Reading a photography book again?" ”

"No, this time it's makeup." Li Xianyun picked up the makeup knowledge in his hand and said.

"Why did you study this again?" Han Xinyu was surprised.

"You don't understand the needs of the technical department." Li Xianyun said casually.

"Are you telling a woman that you don't know how to wear makeup?" Han Xinyu asked rhetorically.

Belch.

That's a rhetorical question.

Even if you are not a makeup artist, there will be no woman who does not know how to apply makeup.

Li Xianyun shrugged his shoulders and gave a general explanation of the plan of his technical department.

Han Xinyu also knows something about Yisheng Media's "black technology", but she didn't expect Li Xianyun to plan to subvert the film and television production process and greatly reduce the time cost of film and television shooting.

After listening to him roughly finish, Han Xinyu understood, "So now your plan is affected by makeup?" ”

"Of course, there is more than this one that really affects it, there are too many problems, but it is true that makeup is also a major factor that needs to be solved one by one. But here's the most troublesome...... Film and television shooting must go hand in hand, &bsp&bspAny link lags behind, which means that no matter how efficient other departments are, it is useless. ”

According to the barrel theory, the shortest plank determines the height of the water in the barrel, and &bsp&bsp is the most suitable for film and television shooting.

Han Xinyu shook his head: "You were affected by Cao Hongyue." ”

"What do you mean?" Li Xianyun was puzzled.

Han Xin said, "Makeup is indeed time-consuming, but it is not that there is no quick solution to the problem. ”

"Tell me."

"First of all, not every scene actor has to re-make-up, generally speaking, only in the opening stage, the actor has to focus on makeup, and most of the makeup is touched up later. Bright lighting and sweat can dissolve makeup, so you need to make up for it. ”

Strong lighting is not a problem, and the light of the emotional ghost can control the temperature. As for the problem of sweating, if the actors don't need to repeat G, then in fact, the labor is not large, and the main thing that affects them is the familiarity of the script, and this can be made up for in the early stage.

Li Xianyun said: "But there are always some scenes that need to be changed. ”

"You can stagger them. There are also many kinds of makeup, in fact, the actor's makeup does not need to be changed too much, and many of them are changes in costumes and hairstyles. If you can stagger the actors or scenes with a large amount of makeup change in the arrangement, then the timing is not a problem. ”

Li Xianyun shook his head, "I've thought about this, but it's not easy." If it's not the same scene, how many actors are going to play it to the end? You can't just split the same scene to save time. The time saved is not enough to waste. Besides, it's impossible to change the script for this. ”

The screenwriters are already hard enough, and it's too to change the script for makeup needs.

"But you can have makeup artists and art directors involved." Han Xin said, "The makeup artist knows best about the makeup needs of each scene and the time it takes. ”

Involve makeup artists and art directors in the co-ordination?

Li Xianyun was also stunned.

This is unprecedented.

But what does that matter?

What Li Xianyun did was unprecedented, so it was necessary to change the process appropriately.

Han Xinyu continued: "Of course, there are also fast-acting makeup techniques. A good makeup artist can also complete the needs in a short time, but this requires a better makeup artist and more assistants. ”

Hearing this, Li Xianyun slapped his palms and shouted, "That's right!" Makeup artist skills are also an important part! ”

The big picture is uncertain, and the details make up for it!

You don't have to do anything!

Since the makeup artist link is weak, it is better to enhance the strength in this area.

It's just that other makeup artists require the most exquisite shapes, but Li Xianyun's makeup artists require extreme speed.

They can be involved in the choreography from the start, adjusting the session according to the time of makeup, and then arranging the makeup according to the time demand. Enough technology, enough manpower, can make up for this link.

Of course, this can't be fully compensated, but the occasional delay is perfectly acceptable.

Originally, it was impossible to delay the time with makeup, &bsp&bspA month's play, the theoretical limit speed can be filmed in five or six days, but it is too tiring!

It's a good thing that makeup artists can't keep up, give others some time to rest and adjust, and buffer the problems of other departments - you can't really treat everyone as assembly line workers, after all, you have to work more than ten hours a day.

Besides, the appetite melon is not in tune with love, and some scenes still have to be clicked repeatedly, and there is no problem when the preparation is ready.

The coordination team said that you are fine, we are under a lot of pressure. I've never seen makeup even taken into account when doing co-ordination.

Han Xinyu said with a smile, "But the quality still has to be talked about, and the most complicated makeup is placed at the beginning of each day." But then the actors and makeup artists are unlucky, and they have to wake up much earlier than everyone else every day. ”

Originally, makeup artists and actors didn't have to get up early, after all, when they were applying makeup, they had to set up lights or something on the scene, but now that you set up the lights so quickly, makeup artists and actors can only hurry up.

"That can't be helped." Li Xianyun smiled, "Very good, one problem has been solved, and now there are other problems." ”

Li Xianyun said the troubles he encountered one by one, and Han Xinyu rolled his eyes when he heard it.

She shook her head again and again, "Film and television shooting itself is a process of artistic creation, and your requirements eliminate all artistry, and it becomes an industrial assembly line." ”

"Zixin said this. My idea was to complete the art part with a rehearsal. Li Xianyun replied.

"But the cost of small productions as rehearsals is too high."

"Yes, another contradiction, so now Cao Hongyue is still studying the problem of the rehearsal process." Li Xianyun said with a smile.

Director Cao was about to be driven crazy by him.

"You can't solve all problems in a short period of time." Han Xinyu expressed despair about this.

"I know. It's the so-called chasing a hundred miles and asking for half. Li Xianyun said with a smile.

Hearing this, Han Xinyu finally understood.

Yes, some things are easy to solve.

Lowering the requirements is fine.

The same movie can be shot in seven days or seven months, and what determines all this is quality.

The reason why Li Xianyun's requirements are difficult to complete is that it corresponds to the foundation of quality.

And quality has a myriad of components.

The scenery art is quality, the photography lighting is quality, the action pyrotechnics is quality, the actors' acting skills are quality, and the director's lens is quality.

There are ghosts in the set art fireworks special effects lighting, and there is no quality problem, so as long as you make up for it in other aspects.

Li Xianyun's real plan was to first make it difficult for his subordinates, squeeze out their greatest wisdom, and then make concessions on the basis of limited compromises.

This concession can be a concession in quality or a concession in time.

For example, makeup, this time is equivalent to a moderate concession in quality - how many people understand makeup? It's just good-looking.

At this moment, understanding what Li Xianyun really meant, Han Xinyu shook his head, "You are more insidious than before." ”

Li Xianyun was helpless, "No way, you must know this as a boss." ”

Han Xinyu didn't criticize this, she knew very well that an excellent boss didn't have any means, and he really couldn't control so many people, so she said, "Then what is your real plan?" ”

Li Xianyun sighed, "Under normal circumstances, an A-level network can be completed with an investment of about 500 to 10 million, and it may last one to two months." According to the new model, the whole process can be completed in about a week to 20 days, not counting the rehearsal cost, the actual investment cost is about 2 million, plus special effects, the finished film effect should be equivalent to about 1,000 to 12 million production costs, but it depends on the situation. ”

The specific cost savings depend on the content needs of the film.

For example, a blockbuster with an investment of 100 million, if it is a super water injection film with the participation of a fund, then the big head will be 70% first, and the remaining 30 million will be filmed, and the crew will go online and then go black, and the actual investment capital may only be 15 million, so according to such specifications, if Li Xianyun and they follow the group throughout the process, 3 million can be done.

Three million is top 100 million, which is one-thirtieth of the cost.

If you don't inject water, the production of 100 million yuan, with the whole group, 20 million to 40 million is possible, and it depends on the situation.

For example, the magic fortress, not counting the production of 100 million yuan, remove the actor's salary of about 100 million, and the other production costs are about 100 million, join the producer and director to get half of it, and the boss of the crew departments to get the remaining half, the actual investment may be about 25 million, if it is according to the new model of Yisheng, it can be completed according to 5 million.

But in fact, Yisheng's new model still needs to spend maybe 1,500 to 20 million dollars to make this film.

Why?

Because the magic fortress is a typical special effects with many shots, the quality of the special effects is poor, and the balloons are shoddy!

Yisheng Media has no advantage in low-level special effects!

So they want to make such a film, but they can't save too much cost.

There is also the fact that although the actor has a short time, the basic price is there, and your three-month film is shot in half a month, and the time is one-sixth, but the salary will not be one-sixth, but it may be one-third.

If you do this, you will have a limited amount of money to save.

Therefore, how much you can save depends on the specific operation of the specific project.

For example, it can't save on the transfer traffic time.

There is also material loss, even if there is an old ghost, you have to use raw materials to do it.

In short, in the case of the whole process, it is possible to save one-third to one-half of the cost; In the two-crew model, if the ghost town occupies half of the venue, it means that it can only cut money from one-third of the budget, and the money of core personnel such as producers, directors, and artistic creators must be removed - after all, this is to participate in the preliminary preparation, and this money cannot be discounted.

So cost savings are possible from one in six to one in three.

Even so, this is a huge step forward, at least the project can be implemented.

Han Xinyu shook his head helplessly, "Even if it is a concession, it is still a speed?" If you want to do this, don't expect stars to participate in the show in the future, no one will cooperate with you like this. ”

"I'm not a star." Li Xianyun said with a smile.

Han Xinyu's face sank.

"Except for you." Li Xianyun changed his words.

Han Xinyu finally became happy, but still said, "Do me a favor." ”

"What?"

"Don't let me play your film." Han Xin said.

Li Xianyun laughed.

Indeed, this workflow is absolutely exhausting!

The improvement of production efficiency is the greatest squeeze on manpower!
