Chapter 79: Production Team (First Update, Ask for Subscription)
Xu Feng is most afraid that the director will not ask for it, she thinks that the more requests, the better.
The experience of filming "Chivalrous Girl" 20 years ago made Xu Feng very impressed.
Hu Jinquan, the director of "Chivalrous Girl", is a very strict and demanding director, and it can even be said to be nitpicking.
This movie was filmed for four years, and this shooting time alone can make people imagine how demanding Hu Jinquan is.
In the sixties and seventies, most movies were not filmed for a long time, especially in Xiangjiang, and there was even a saying that it only took seven days for a movie to be released from shooting to release.
This shows how exaggerated the four-year shooting time is.
At that time, there was a scene in the movie where a monk brought his own Buddha's light after bleeding, and Hu Jinquan really waited for a week until the sun was right behind the actor.
There is also a scene where the reeds in the yard need to have a sense of depression, Hu Jinquan dislikes that the reeds are not tall enough, so he waits until the reeds grow taller before starting to shoot.
In the first year of filming this drama, Xu Feng basically spent time in Hu Jinquan's scolding, sometimes Xu Feng had problems with his position, and Hu Jinquan would even drag her, just like when he was in elementary school, the teacher dragged the students.
There are not enough people in the props team, so Xu Feng also has to go to the part-time prop master to help create smoke effects.
But it is precisely because of this experience that Xu Feng believes that only a demanding director can make good works.
Of course, Zhou Yan is not without requirements, but he is a newcomer, so it is not good to ask too much.
Now that Xu Feng said so, then he will let go.
"Sister Xu Feng, do you think it's possible for us to change the paraglider into a small plane?"
As soon as he heard this, Xu Feng was startled, obediently, Zhou Yan didn't ask for it, and as soon as he asked for it, he would go straight to the big move. On the other hand, the mainland does not have this condition, so if you want to change, you can only go out.
"Ahem, I think it's better to paraglide."
Zhou Yan smiled: "Well, I think so too, but in the scene where the little male protagonist came on stage to perform with the orchestra at the end, I hope to invite a professional orchestra to come, and the quality of the instruments should be better." There is also film, I want to use 35, photographer I want to ask Zhao Fei from Chang'an Studio. ”
Xu Feng immediately nodded, "Okay, no problem, I will promise you both of these requests, Zhao Fei, I will contact Chang'an Studio when I go back." ”
Changing the paraglider into a small plane, Zhou Yan knew that this would definitely not be possible, but he still mentioned it, because he knew that if he wanted people to meet a requirement, it was best to make a bigger request first.
This trick really worked, and Xu Feng agreed very happily.
In fact, when Zhou Yan moved the idea of making a new short film, he had already built his own team in his mind.
The higher the level of the production team and the greater the fame, the better, the key is whether they can cooperate together, so Zhou Yan wanted to invite those acquaintances he knew in the crew of "Hang the Red Lantern High" before.
Especially Zhao Fei, who is young, experienced, and has a high level, the key is that their personalities are also compatible.
There are also Liu Qing, Hong Xin, Lin Juan, Zhou Yan also wants to pull over, these people are all in tune with him, and they don't need any run-in time, but it's more troublesome to pull people so finely, and most of them may be in other crews.
The key is that the priority of makeup and props is not particularly high, and Zhou Yan didn't want to mention these to Xu Feng, so he will determine it himself later.
Xu Feng took a sip of tea and asked, "Do you have any candidates for the executive director and assistant?" ”
Zhou Yan smiled, "I only thought about this last night. ”
Before yesterday, Zhou Yan still thought that he only needed to make a short film, since he was making a short film, there was no need to find any executive director and director assistant, he could do it alone.
But now it's time to change to a feature film, and the director team is very difficult for him alone, it doesn't matter if there is an assistant director or not, but the executive director must have it.
"Then who do you think of, if not, I'll have someone recommend two to you when you go back."
"Executive director, I have a candidate in mind."
"Who?"
"Senior Lu of Yanjing Studios."
Xu Feng thought for a moment and said, "Senior Lu? I'm not impressed. ”
Zhou Yan smiled, "Sister Xu Feng, you have an impression, can you come to me as an executive director?" ”
Xu Feng has been to Yanjing Studio many times, but she has been in contact with the leaders of the factory and some more famous directors.
Senior Lu graduated from Yenching Film Academy the year before last, and was only assigned to Yenching Film Studio in September this year, and in less than a year, Senior Lu has not participated in the filming of any films.
And Senior Lu is relatively low-key, rarely speaks in the director's office, and his sense of presence is relatively low.
Not to mention Xu Feng, an outsider, even in the studio, except for the director's office, the colleagues in other offices don't know much about Senior Lu.
Even said that Zhou Yan had been in Yanjing Studio for half a year, and he was much more familiar with his face than Senior Lu.
Only Senior Lu is like him, a newcomer who has just graduated from school not long ago, can be the executive director of Zhou Yan, and who is willing to come to a newcomer as a deputy if he has made movies.
As for the award at the Kurta Short Film Festival that Zhou Yan won, it is still a short film after all, and the award is not famous, it may be good to bluff laymen, but people in the industry don't take it very seriously.
Xu Feng nodded, "You're right, then you can find this senior Lu yourself, and if you encounter difficulties, I'll come forward again." ”
"No problem."
At this time, Xu Feng took another sip of the teacup, and after discussing with Zhou Yan for a while, he felt good.
She does things at a fast pace, and what she didn't expect was that Zhou Yan's pace was also very fast.
Xu Feng proposed the candidates for the cast and crew to Zhou Yan today, not to ask Zhou Yan to decide on the spot, but to let Zhou Yan start to take this matter to heart now, and not to wait until everything else is settled before thinking about it, and then he will be in a hurry.
But Zhou Yan's performance surprised her, and Zhou Yan gave half of the candidates so quickly.
Now Zhou Yan's production team, director, screenwriter, main camera, executive director, soundtrack and producer, these candidates have basically been determined, which means that the main framework of the entire team has been decided.
In this way, everyone has a bottom in their hearts.
The two chatted briefly for a while, and the time was eleven o'clock.
"It's time for dinner."
Xu Feng smiled, and then dialed another phone, and after the phone was connected, she said to the other side, "Boss, it's time to serve." ”
About five or six minutes later, there was a knock on the door outside.
The two men who came were carrying a wooden plate, and on top of the wooden plate were plates, and although each plate was covered, it could be seen that it was full of vegetables.
Zhou Yan originally thought that Xu Feng was going to take them to the restaurant, but he didn't expect to call the dishes to his home.
The two men ran several times before finally finishing a dozen or so dishes.
From the time they went back and forth, it was estimated that the hotel should be very close to the courtyard side.
Eating at home has the advantage of not having to leave for another place and no one else will disturb you.
Judging from the dishes and tableware, Xu Feng is definitely not looking for a big hotel, and there are no high-end hotels in the vicinity now.
However, the ingredients and taste are very good, and it can be seen from this that Xu Feng is a very pragmatic person.
After lunch, Xu Feng invited them to stay for dinner, but Zhou Yan declined.
Xu Feng should be quite busy when he comes to Yanjing, and it is already very face-saving to be able to arrange a meal, and it will not be good to bother again.
When leaving, Xu Feng stuffed all the fruits and some boxed gifts brought by Zhou Yan and them into Zhou Qian's hands, she said that she usually doesn't live in this courtyard, and these things must not be eaten, let them take them, otherwise it will be wasted.
Zhou Yan was not polite to this, and let Zhou Qian and them all carry it.
Take your younger siblings back to school.
Entering the dormitory, Jia Guoping was writing a work summary, and Zhou Yan took a box of chocolates and put it in front of him.
Seeing the chocolate, Jia Guoping didn't rush to get it, but asked very vigilantly, "Do you have something to ask me for help?" ”
Zhou Yanzheng said, "Comrade Jia Guoping, don't treat others with yourself, am I the kind of person who drives others with profit?" ”
"Oh, that's my mistake." Jia Guoping smiled and reached for the chocolate.
Zhou Yan pressed his hand, "However, I do have something to ask you." ”
Jia Guoping rolled his eyes, "You ask." ”
Zhou Yan said with a smile, "I need a piano prodigy in the movie I am preparing now, you can help me ask Senior Sister Zhang Xinning, does she have anyone to recommend?" ”
As soon as he heard that he was looking for Zhang Xinning, Jia Guoping raised his eyebrows and nodded very dryly, "No problem, wrap it up on me, I'll go to her now." ”
After speaking, Jia Guoping stood up with chocolate.
"You don't have to be in such a hurry......
Before Zhou Yan's voice fell, Jia Guoping had already run out of the door.
After Jia Guoping left, Zhou Yan shook his head with a smile and began to write the script of "The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly" again.
At about four o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Yan heard Jia Guoping shouting downstairs in the dormitory, "Zhou Yan, Zhou Yan." ”
Zhou Yan got up and went out and saw Jia Guoping and Zhang Xinning downstairs, and the box of chocolates he gave to Jia Guoping before had already arrived in Zhang Xinning's hands.
"Senior Sister Zhang." Zhou Yan said hello.
Zhang Xinning didn't say hello to him, and asked in the first sentence, "Is the ninth sister here?" ”
At this time, Lao Jiu had already walked out in advance, leaning at the aisle wall, revealing half of his little head, "Sister Xinning." ”
As soon as he saw Lao Jiu, Zhang Xinning smiled, "Ninth sister, do you want to eat chocolate?" ”
Lao Jiu raised his hands and shouted, "Yes!" ”
"Then you come down and play with your sister."
"Good!"
Lao Jiu jumped downstairs again.
After that, the box of chocolates was in Lao Jiu's hands again, and Zhou Yan witnessed the entire handover process upstairs.
