Before being reborn, Gu Beizhen didn't think it was difficult to make film and television dramas, the actors acted in front, the camera was in the back, and the director was in control of the overall situation.

But really involved in it, Gu Bei knew how naïve he was before.

A crew is not only the director and acting, but also needs photography, lighting, props, makeup...... More than a dozen departments have a division of labor and cooperation, all of which are indispensable, and the performance is only the final presentation, relatively speaking, it is the simplest job.

Before the filming of each scene, there are hundreds of people behind the scenes, who are hard at work, and when everything is ready, it is the turn of the actors to come on the stage.

But in the end, only the actors are famous, but behind the scenes is never mentioned.

After a busy morning, it was the hottest time of the day.

Gu Bei was squatting against a tree at this moment, enjoying the shade brought by the shade, he really wanted to sit directly on the ground, but he was wearing the costume of the black chicken king.

As soon as he sat on the ground, he was relaxed, and when he was filming later, a large piece of dirt was under his buttocks, and Da Liu, who was in charge of the costumes, had to settle accounts with him.

It doesn't matter if you're tired, I've been used to going out to pick up scenery before, and I'm not tired one day.

The weather can barely overcome it, and mosquito bites have long been used to it.

What makes Gu Bei unbearable the most is the problem of efficiency.

It's too messy.

It's been a week since the start-up, and Gu Bei's deepest feeling is chaos.

At first, it could be explained by the lack of tacit understanding, but it has been filmed for a week, and the various departments still haven't been able to knead together.

Every day, as long as he goes to the set, Gu Bei can see a group of people chattering, doing their own things, waiting for makeup for a while, waiting for props for a while, waiting for lighting for a while, and waiting for a camera to be arranged.

Finally, the preparations are almost complete, and the actors are still being pulled by the director to talk about the play.

Gotcha!

We'll have to wait.

Just waited and waited, and the time spent on filming became the least part.

"It can't go on like this!"

"What's not going to work?"

Li Chengru was holding the lunch box and pulling it into his mouth, when he heard Gu Bei talking to himself, he asked in surprise.

He has now been appointed by Director Yang Jie as the scene reporter of the crew, responsible for assisting the director to complete the day's shooting plan.

Of course, the scene record is only one of the jobs, in fact, Li Chengru is in charge of everything in the crew, and when there is a shortage of props, he takes the people from the props team to the street to buy them, and when the lights are broken, he also has to go into battle to repair them, and he is even responsible for ordering box lunches, which can be called a generalist in the crew.

This is also what Director Yang Jie requested at the beginning, because of the tight budget, the crew must be reduced as much as possible in terms of staffing.

If you can save, you will save.

It is best for one person to be able to do the work of eight people, and everyone is multi-skilled.

The same is true for Gu Bei, his main job is an artist, but he is not limited to an artist, he usually has other things, and he has to be on call.

"Didn't you notice that our crew is not efficient?"

Li Chengru looked confused.

Not very efficient?

He really didn't think so.

Seeing this, Gu Bei knew that it was in vain to say these words to Li Chengru, he was also a newcomer, he used to be an amateur drama actor, and he was still an unpopular, but now it is the first time he has come into contact with film and television drama production, and he can see something.

"Tell me, why is it not efficient?"

Although Li Chengru doesn't understand, he has a good habit of asking questions if he doesn't understand.

Gu Bei frowned, he worked in many companies in his previous life, and he had also been a leader, and the most important thing in his usual work was efficiency.

If any work is delayed because of someone under him, he will never forgive.

Like now, only about a dozen scenes are filmed a day, no wonder when the original plan was made, the content of this episode actually took a month to complete.

There are naturally hardware problems in this, for example, a huge "Journey to the West" crew only has an old camera, and it is split.

Often a scene, because you have to take different angles, you can only repeat the shooting over and over again.

But you can't blame all the inefficiency on the hardware.

The most important thing is the coordination of the various departments and the formulation of the plan.

No, it can't go on like this.

The more I pondered, the more irritated I became.

Gu Bei is not only behind the scenes, he also has to make cameo appearances, although he does not play many roles as the prince of the black chicken, but he has to dress up and wait every day when he arrives on the set.

In case something happens, the scene originally planned to be filmed can't be filmed, so you have to go up at any time and shoot the prince's part first.

Now the outdoor temperature is close to 40 degrees, and you have to wrap it tightly every day, who can stand it!

"Hey! Why are you going? ”

Li Chengru was still waiting for Gu Bei to explain his doubts, and when he saw Gu Bei suddenly get up and leave, he hurriedly shouted.

It's a pity that Gu Bei doesn't have time to explain to him now, he has to go to Director Yang Jie, and he must change the current problem of low crew efficiency.

It's true to work slowly, but that's not grinding.

"Director Yang, Director Zhu."

Yang Jie and Zhu Xiaofeng were also having lunch at this time, and while eating, they were still discussing the shooting plan for the afternoon.

In fact, the plan has been in place for a long time, but sometimes the external conditions do not allow it, and it can only be adjusted constantly.

"Xiao Gu, why don't you go find a cool place to rest, what's wrong?"

Yang Jie is also in a hurry these days, Gu Bei can see the efficiency of the crew, how can she, as a director, not see it.

If we continue to grind as we do now, I am afraid that it will be difficult to complete the tasks assigned by the Taiwan leaders.

But she can't help it, she is responsible for the core issues, and it is impossible to take care of everything.

"I'm looking for you for something."

There are some words that Gu Bei has held in his heart for several days, and today he really doesn't vomit or feel unhappy.

"What's the matter, let's talk about it!"

Yang Jie pulled the last bite of rice in.

The crew's funds are not abundant, every penny has to be spent on the blade, the food standard is naturally not high, this meal at noon every day is basically steamed buns, plus a vegetarian dish, and pickles are enough.

But no one picks on their mouths.

In these years, eating enough is the main thing, and eating well is supplemented.

"Director Yang, I think we are filming more than ten scenes every day now, and sometimes, we can only shoot two or three scenes, if we want to finish filming this episode, when do we have to wait?"

Yang Jie frowned when she heard this: "What? I can't stand it, Xiao Gu, you ...... thoughts."

Gu Bei saw that Yang Jie was going to give him a political lesson, and hurriedly said: "Director Yang, I didn't mean that, what I wanted to say was...... Efficiency problems, like hardware problems, the conditions can't be met, and we really can't solve them, there's nothing to say, but the coordination of various departments of the crew, every day on the set, we just wait, can we think of a way in this regard? ”

When Yang Jie heard this, she knew that Gu Bei was not here to complain, and her face was not as ugly as just now.

But she didn't expect Gu Bei to take the initiative to come to her to say this question.

"You can see it, I can't see it, the work has just begun, there is a good need to run in between various departments, and there is no co-ordination on the spot, Li Chengru is a novice, and he has to practice slowly, and others ......"

Yang Jie spread her hands.

"Look at it yourself, just a few, I have to take care of the shooting, Director Zhu is in charge of the script, Xun Hao and Ren Fengpo are in charge of the pomp and the actors' performances, how can there be anyone?"

No one?

No one can't watch this mess go on!

Gu Bei's heart was horizontal, and he also let it go.

"Director Yang, if you don't worry, otherwise...... Let me try? ”

When Gu Bei said this, he was not very confident.

Li Chengru is a newcomer, and he is not a newcomer.

However, these days, he has been observing the work of each department, as well as the operation mode of the entire crew, plus when he was in school, he also observed the work of some crews.

is not a layman for film and television drama shooting.

I dare not say that I am completely sure, but at least it will not make the crew more chaotic.

Hearing Gu Bei say this, Yang Jie was really a little surprised, and thought carefully for a while.

"That's it, you follow Li Chengru in the afternoon, get used to it first, your suggestion, I'll think about it."

Gotcha.

Although it didn't meet expectations, the director spoke, and since the director said it, Gu Beike took the chicken feathers as an arrow.

"Director Yang, do you really plan to let Xiao Gu do the on-site coordination? He's just joining the group for the first time, and he has no experience at all, so you're not afraid ......"

Zhu Xiaofeng waited for Gu Bei to leave, and said worriedly.

"Afraid of what? Young people have ideas and are willing to take the initiative to take the burden, we don't encourage it, and we can't crack down, let him try, let's work hard and stare a little more. ”

Director Yang Jie said so, Zhu Xiaofeng naturally couldn't say any further, he could see that Yang Jie was obviously different from others to Gu Bei.

However, this is also normal, since Gu Bei entered the preparatory group for the journey to the west, his performance has been very bright.

From setting the tone for the script adaptation, to character design, to going out to pick up scenes, Zhu Xiaofeng also feels that this young man is indeed a talent and is worth cultivating.

It's just that......

Too much of a hurry, right?

On-site co-ordination is not so easy to do.

To put it simply, it is to assist the director in the middle of the command, coordinate the work of various departments of the crew, and be responsible for the formulation of shooting plans.

is placed in the crew, which is equivalent to the first assistant director.

Gu Bei was just 20 years old, and with such a heavy burden on his shoulders, could he pick it up?

It's good to be proactive and have the courage to take responsibility.

But Zhu Xiaofeng was also afraid that he would pull out the seedlings and help them grow, and in the end it would backfire.

"Okay, don't worry about it, hurry up and eat, you still have to be busy in the afternoon."

Yang Jie saw Zhu Xiaofeng's worried look, and said with a smile.

"Since he dares to come and take the initiative to ask for help, it doesn't hurt for me to give him this opportunity, whether he can do it or not depends on his ability."

As Zhu Xiaofeng thought, Yang Jie is indeed different from others to Gu Bei, Gu Bei has a flexible mind and no lack of ability, so she naturally has to cultivate it vigorously.

As for whether Gu Bei can practice under her hands, the opportunity has been given, and the rest depends on Gu Bei's own efforts.

Xiao Gu, don't let me down!
