Ruan Ruolin said it again, and Gu Bei knew that there was nothing wrong with his ears.

What the old lady said was to make him a director.

"You're not kidding? I...... I haven't done it before! ”

Ruan Ruolin said: "You just haven't been named a director, but are you sure you haven't done the work of a director?" ”

What does it mean?

"You were recommended by Yang Gui, don't you understand?"

Hehe!

Can you not understand?

When Gu Bei was in the crew of "Journey to the West", he did not only do art, on-site coordination, and director assistant, but also learned almost all technical jobs, and he also operated them himself.

Videography, recording, lighting, and even makeup.

Sometimes when filming a group scene, there are many actors needed, and Gu Bei also helps to make up the group actors.

Gu Bei has also done the work of the director, Director Yang Jie is old, and sometimes she has physical problems, especially in the later stages of filming, and she is often sick.

But the filming schedule can't be delayed, and no one knows if after finishing work today, and waiting until tomorrow, the station will suddenly give an order to stop filming.

Therefore, the later it gets, the more the state grabs, and it has always been rushing to shoot.

If the director is not there, someone has to go up to it.

In the episode "Three-tone Banana Fan", Gu Bei, as the director, filmed most of it.

If you really let him be a director, it's not impossible.

But the problem is, Gu Bei really doesn't want to!

He does hope to be in the film and television industry all the time, but the ideal position is management, not the person who takes the tube.

"Xiao Gu, the current situation is like this, I have found all the directors I can find, either I am not interested in this subject, or I have other jobs, or I am ......"

didn't finish speaking, but obviously Ruan Ruolin also knew why everyone was refusing.

"If no director is willing to take over, the project will have to be suspended!"

I'm ......

Gu Bei wanted to scold the street, but he really couldn't understand the brain circuits of some people.

What is the current output of the center, who doesn't know it?

Many directors didn't work at all, and now they have the opportunity, but one by one they refuse to take over because of bullshit.

Gu Bei even wondered if it was because he was reborn, so God deliberately loaded the protagonist system to him.

A newcomer who hasn't had much experience, is Ruan Ruolin really at ease?

"Okay, I'll do it!"

Gu Beiyi gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

Isn't it just to be a director!

The TV series "Do You Know", Gu Bei has brushed it more than a dozen times in his last life, every shot, every picture, he remembers it very clearly, even if there is no breakthrough, it can be restored, is it still a problem for him?

"Leader, but ...... I have the conditions too! ”

"Say!"

Gu Bei thought about it in his heart, the incident happened suddenly, and he didn't think about it.

"I won't mention it first, you can tell me how much support the center can give me!"

Ruan Ruolin asked rhetorically: "How much support do you hope to get?" ”

Hey!

Let's not play the game you ask me about, okay?

"At least...... Give me a few more cameras! ”

Don't let me play single-player.

Gu Bei's requirements are really not high, and he suffers a lot from swiping a single machine, and he has not experienced it.

In the early stage of filming "Journey to the West", the crew was just a 300p machine, and when a scene was taken from multiple angles, it could only be filmed repeatedly.

Moreover, just one camera, it is still the oldest-fashioned, and when the machine fails, the whole crew has to shut down.

Gu Bei was really scared!

The most impressive thing is in 86, when the crew was filming the scene of the Huangmei Demon Cave in "Mistakenly Entering Little Lei Yin" in Qingfeng Cave in Zhejiang.

Earlier, because of the rush of time, when the mirror was taken, Gu Bei and the others didn't go, but they just heard from others that Qingfeng Cave is a stone cave, with uphill and downhill slopes, high and low, and many levels.

It's very cool in the summer, very warm in the winter, and there's a lot of space inside.

Director Yang Jie thought it was available, so he decided to use it as the cave house of the yellow-eyed monster, and specially explained to Gu Bei that when making the shooting plan, it was arranged in the summer.

So, in August of 86, the crew of "Journey to the West" passed, and the average local temperature directly reached more than 40 degrees.

On the second day of arrival, director Yang Jie took Gu Bei and other main creative staff to the cave to collect the scenery first, Qingfeng Cave is halfway up the mountain, and you have to climb a mountain road.

The road is not very long, and the mountains are not very high, but because the weather is too hot, the road is particularly difficult.

When I arrived at the entrance of the cave, as Director Yang Jie's friend said, there was a large cold wind blowing out, and when I stood at the entrance of the cave, the wind suddenly took away the heat all over my body, giving people a feeling of joy.

But when I walked into the cave, I soon felt that something was wrong, but fortunately there were local comrades who came with me, and reminded everyone to wear cotton coats before entering the cave.

At that time, Gu Bei still felt strange, wearing a cotton coat in a hot weather of 40 degrees, afraid of being stuffy?

When he really walked in, Gu Bei knew that it was powerful, and after walking a few steps, he felt that the cold wind was biting and the cold was pressing, and the big guy hurriedly put on his coat and wrapped it tightly.

Where is this Qingfeng Tunnel, it should be called a Cold Wind Tunnel.

The area of the cave is indeed quite large, but it is extremely difficult to walk, it is a huge mountain stone, and the stone is carved out of steps, either up or downhill, the road is still very dangerous, steep and difficult to walk.

At that time, it took a day to find a suitable shooting location, but the selected shooting points were all in the depths of the cave, the road was difficult to walk, and I had to climb up and down for a while, but fortunately there was wind in it, the air was very fresh, there was no lack of oxygen, and there was no problem with breathing.

Get ready, and the crew officially went into the cave to shoot.

But when it came time to turn on the machine, the problem came out, the temperature difference between the inside and outside the cave was more than 20 degrees, or even 30 degrees, and it was very humid.

Everyone was ready, the camera just didn't work, and the technicians of the crew thought it was broken and hurried to fix it.

However, after spending a long time, I couldn't fix it well, and I couldn't find a problem.

In the end, the technician suggested that he should be carried to the entrance of the cave to repair it first, and it was unbearable cold inside.

Because the old antique is separated, it is very cumbersome, and on such a rugged road in the cave, two people have to be very careful when carrying it, and one foot is not steady, and the person falls, and the machine is broken, but it is completely numb.

To everyone's surprise, as soon as they arrived at the hot place outside the cave, the camera was fine, and nothing happened, so everyone hurriedly carried it back to the cave to shoot.

But after less than two shots, the camera strikes again!

The technician also muttered, suspecting that it was caused by the temperature difference between inside and outside the cave.

So I took the VCR out again, and when I opened it, I saw that there were water droplets inside.

The temperature difference is only one aspect, and the most important thing is that the machine is too old to resist manufacturing.

Gu Bei still remembers that that day when the big guy moved out and moved in, he was so tired that he couldn't take a few shots.

In the end, Director Yang Jie was in a hurry, and when she returned to the guest house, she called the station and asked for a change of video recorder, but the answer at home remained the same: there is nothing to replace, just such a one, it is not okay or not.

There was no way, the technician was busy all night, blowing, covering, and roasting the machine, and finally made the machine good.

When I went to the set again the next day, I brought a quilt and let the camera get used to it outside the cave first, and then carry it in when all the preparations in the cave were done.

When I went in, the machine was wrapped in a quilt like a child, and as soon as I got in, I quickly filmed it, and before it had time to feel cold, it had already finished shooting some shots.

It's a pity that this method worked at first, and a few shots were taken, and just when everyone was rejoicing, it seemed to understand that it had been fooled, so it went on strike again.

In this way, the pat stopped, in and out, and the progress was greatly affected.

But no matter how anxious it is, it is useless, watching the technician sweating profusely and working hard to move the machine out and in, no one can bear to say anything.

Later, this machine seems to be annoyed by the tossing in and out, and it has a temper, as long as it is turned on, I will not stop it for you, and I will not open it for you as soon as it stops!

No one has any tricks, so they can only make do.

But at the end of the filming, there is still a scene left in the eighteen stars to save Sun Monkey, there are many people, and the character modeling is extremely troublesome.

Teacher Wang Chongqiu proposed a plan, he suggested that the positioning and shots of several scenes should be arranged in advance, the lighting should be found in advance, all types of work should be prepared, and finally the shooting should be started.

The camera doesn't stop, and it goes down in a row.

This solution sounds like a feasible solution, but it is quite difficult.

The coordination of various types of work can not be wrong at all, especially the lights, there is no large-scale lighting lamp, the lights of different sizes are used, and every time you change the position, you have to move several lamp positions.

Moreover, everyone has to be accurate, when the camera moves, the video recorder behind has to run with it, and the monitor has to move, shooting in the hole is definitely a physical challenge.

It was under such conditions that everyone finished filming several sets of scenes of the eighteen stars saving the monkeys.

When I returned to the guest house, I was as tired as a dead dog.

Taili has been complaining about the slow filming progress of the crew of "Journey to the West", just this broken condition, do you want to be able to get up quickly?

Later, the reason why the next 20 episodes were filmed in more than a year or less than two years was that in addition to the relatively abundant funds, the most important thing was that the crew had two more machines.

Gu Bei has always felt that compared with the 2 million he invested in the crew later, he was able to pull out two machines from Hong Minsheng's hands, which was his greatest contribution to "Journey to the West".

With the same experience, he didn't want to do it again, not only could he not brush the single machine, but he also had to ask the best machine in the center to shoot.

After listening to Gu Bei's story, Ruan Ruolin couldn't help but feel ashamed of his experience in Qingfeng Cave.

She knew that the conditions of the crew of "Journey to the West" during the filming process were very difficult, but she really didn't expect it to be so difficult.

Director Yang Jie reported to the station several times, asking for more cameras, and Ruan Ruolin had also heard about it.

It's just that it was really difficult in the station at that time, and she couldn't even get extra machines, and she still felt that Yang Jie was a little hypocritical.

Now I know that it is actually difficult to become like that.

Gu Bei asked Ruan Ruolin for conditions with his past experience, what can the old lady say?

Try to be satisfied.

"How many machines do you want?"

Gu Bei thought about it in his heart, and also estimated the family background of the center, and now most of the family background in Taiwan is on the center side, but even so, it is still very thin.

Try to draw a six.

Sure enough, Ruan Ruolin's eyebrows stood up all of a sudden.

"Can I give it all to you? What do you think, six cameras, "Dream of Red Mansions" was filmed to the end, and it was increased to four in order to catch up with the progress. ”

"Then four!"

Gu Bei spoke smoothly and almost choked Mrs. Ruan to death.

"You're asking for a lot of money, huh?"

"Leader, you asked me to mention it just now, so let's do it, or you give me four years, and I'll take my time."

"Fart!"

Mrs. Ruan was so angry with Gu Bei that she burst into foul language.

Four years?

Taili will have results next year, and in four years, the daylilies will be cold.

The point is that Ruan Ruolin will retire in a few years, and let Gu Bei spend four years filming a TV series as her retirement gift!?

"The leadership has already requested, it will be started at the beginning of the year and broadcast at the end of the year, and the time is not negotiable."

When Gu Bei heard this, he spread his hands: "Then I can't help it, if you also use a machine to fool me, the knife is on my neck, and if you can't finish it, you can't finish it." ”

Four years is just a mouthful, Gu Bei doesn't plan to waste too much time on a work.

"Four?"

Ruan Ruolin also knew that if he didn't meet this kid's requirements, he wouldn't be able to talk about this matter today.

"At least four, if you rush to make progress in the later stage, the center will have to increase your support."

Ruan Ruolin thought for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth: "Okay, I promise you, is there anything else!" ”

Other?

Does this need to be asked?

"Money! How much can the center give? ”

Hearing Gu Bei mention the funds, Ruan Ruolin also made a difficulty, there are so many eldest sons left in the station now, all of them are reserved for the Spring Festival Gala, and no one can move them.

No one can say for sure how much financial allocation will be given next year, and if Taili is assigned to the center, there is no legal decision.

"You will be given 1 million in the early stage, you will do the work first, and the later ones will ...... I try to fight for it! ”

As long as the crew starts up and a large amount of money is smashed, there will be no money at that time, will the station still be able to do it?

Gu Bei estimated in his heart again, fortunately, there is a legacy of "Dream of Red Mansions", otherwise, if 1 million is smashed, it will not even be able to splash a little water.

"Okay, just do as you say."

"Anything else?"

"I want people, I want the makeup team and costume team of the "Dream of Red Mansions" crew."

"It's all for you!"

People are naturally not a problem, most of them are idle, they are different from those directors, the station sends the work down, and there is no room for refusal.

"Not now, right?"

Gu Bei saw that Mrs. Ruan's tone was not good, and he didn't dare to gain another inch.

"It's gone, it's gone."

"When does the crew start working?"

Gu Bei got up and said with a smile: "When are you waiting, it will start today!" ”

After speaking, he turned around and left, and was stopped by Ruan Ruolin when he arrived at the door.

"Xiao Gu, I will hand over this project to you, if our center can get more autonomy next year, just watch this TV series!"

Some people died, but not completely......
