Chapter 4 Preparing the Crew

In the evening, Li Qian rushed back to Donghua City non-stop and convened a meeting of the employees of the studio.

In fact, there are only three employees in the studio, photographer Zhang Zhonghua, stylist Gao Yang, and financial Wang Lu.

And Li Qian himself, who is also photography, editing, and art, sometimes outsources the post-production when he is too busy.

Most businesses don't need so many people, and when there are really not enough people, just find some temporary workers.

The studio usually shoots some weddings, various activities, photos and the like, and it is great that he can receive a shopping advertisement every two or three months, and it is still broadcast on the county-level TV station, otherwise it will not be his turn to be a small studio.

The studio has been open for ten months, and I have taken over two pot sellers and one one selling shaping underwear.

Li Qian is about to memorize the advertising lines, what people take food as the sky, and food is headed by the pot; Stir-fry without oil smoke, healthy every day; Stir-fry without stir-frying, tomorrow will be better.

It's quite rhyming, but it's not soft, and sometimes the car will overturn on the shooting scene.

As for selling all kinds of health products and fake medicines, Li Qian didn't take it.

The most is to auction auctioneers on Taomao's online store, and thanks to Ma Qingyang, more and more people are opening online stores, and the market demand is getting bigger and bigger.

And a lot of the clothes on Taomao come from large wholesale markets such as Huacheng Thirteen Lines, Lin'an Sijiqing, and Beijing Zoo, as well as Yiwu, a county-level city under Donghua, and Donghua's online stores are still very many, and sometimes the studio shoots for more than half a month without stopping.

Shooting these things every day is not nutritious, and sooner or later you will forget about your profession.

At the beginning, Li Qian took every customer very seriously, and the shooting technology was impeccable, the color restoration did not have the slightest color cast, and the texture level of highlights and shadows was all accurate and in place.

However, in exchange for a scolding.

Why don't I have other people's big white faces?

Why do the pimples on my face go away?

Why can't I have the same "pretty" colors as others?

wasted a day, was scolded, and couldn't refute it with professional knowledge, and had to be remade.

The customer is God, so he just shoots casually, white and beautiful enough, and he hasn't taken anything seriously for a long time.

Fortunately, these days have finally passed, and it is finally time to make a movie.

......

"Boss. ”

"Mr. Li. ”

"How's it going, boss, is it done?"

Zhang Zhonghua, Gao Yang, and Wang Lu quickly sat down at the table twice and asked about the harvest of the trip.

"This trip to the demon capital has finalized the male protagonist, how are the preparations at hand. ”

Li Qian nodded and looked at Zhang Zhonghua, "Old Zhang, what did they say, when will those two little red skies be vacated?"

When making a movie, even if it is a large network, the camera is of course the most important thing.

At present, the network crews on the market are basically filmed with ordinary broadcast-grade cameras, and individual professional-level ones can also be filmed.

Don't look at movies that are played on the Internet, there are requirements for resolution, signal-to-noise ratio, low illumination, bitrate, and so on.

As far as the conditions allowed, Li Qian still used the best camera possible.

Xiaohong, also known as Red One, is a new digital cinema camera, many parameters are benchmarked against 35mm film, with a 35mm sensor, whether it is 35mm film depth of field, or close to the indicators of traditional cameras, it is the best choice for shooting large networks.

Of course, the price is cheap, and a full set of 1800 can be taken in a day.

It's a pity that there are only 60 units in the capital, which are more sought-after.

"At noon, I replied, and it will arrive in a week, or 1800 a day. Zhang Zhonghua said.

"That's good, you can't save the camera, it's best to use Xiaohong. ”

"Lulu, what about the cost of me letting you nuclear?" Li Qian looked at Wang Lu again.

"Boss, according to what you said, that's all for the approximate cost. ”

Wang Lu handed over a form and introduced, "Two sets of Xiaohong have a total of 40,000 for 12 days. ”

"3,000 for one executive, 3,000 for one handheld photographer, 2,400 for two camera assistants, 2,000 for lighting, 4,000 for five field workers, and 1,500 for makeup artists, a total of 14,400. ”

"There were 40 people in the group, and a total of 2,400 people in two days. ”

"The meal fee is 10 yuan per person per day, two meals a day, plus drinking water, 1500 is enough. ”

......

The miscellaneous expenses are added together, as well as other equipment, and the actor's salary, which is almost 70,005.

It looks very low, but it doesn't count Li Qian's salary as a director and screenwriter, as well as the salary of the three of them.

And the venue also costs money, and it is not counted in the later stage.

Just one colorist is 10,000, but fortunately, the requirements for "Sniper Phone Booth" are not very high, and you can handle it yourself.

Li Qian has 80,000 yuan in his hand, if nothing else, it is enough to complete this film.

"That's it, I'll send a recruitment message in the evening, set up the crew as soon as possible, and start the film on time in ten days, it's not too early, let's go back and rest. ”

It was almost six o'clock, and Li Qian also announced that he would get off work and not be in a hurry for this meeting.

But when he left, he stopped Zhang Zhonghua.

"Lao Zhang, I'll hand over the equipment to them, you don't care about anything else for now, study the storyboard carefully, and we'll talk about it carefully when I'm done." ”

"Okay, they're all new machines anyway. ”

"I just watched a little bit of the storyboard, the first shot of the street at the beginning is typical of the regular Hollywood sports storyboard, in addition, the switching of far, medium and near shots, and the subjective pan lens are very good. ”

Zhang Zhonghua sighed, "If I hadn't often watched Mr. Li write storyboards in your studio, I would have doubted that such a mature storyboard was written by you." ”

Li Qian smiled and said, "It's useless to give me the storyboard written by others, isn't it?" ”

The script is written by the screenwriter, and the storyboard is usually written by the director, and the screenwriter who can write the storyboard well indicates that he has the ability to be a director.

For the same script, different directors can write different storyboards, not by themselves, and they may not be able to fully understand the creator's intentions, and it is not certain what the shooting will be like.

When filming, you don't use a script, you can't fully understand the storyboard, and there is a high probability of smashing.

After all, a movie is not a TV series, and it is much easier to shoot a TV series.

After a brief chat, Li Qian asked Zhang Zhonghua to go back.

Specifically, you have to prepare the script before joking, and the communication between the director and the cinematographer is still very important.

Zhang Zhonghua was originally a photographer at Jiangsu and Zhejiang Film Studios, but since the beginning of the century, domestic studios of all sizes have been half-dead, and many of them can't even afford to pay their salaries, and many filmmakers have gone to the sea to find another way out.

I haven't filmed in the studio for a year, my salary is not much, and I was just in time for my son to go to college, so I was recruited by Li Qian with a high salary to come to the studio to shoot some messy things.

Photographers and actors are no problem, and the film "Sniper Phone Booth" does not have high requirements for art, and there are not many problems left.

......

In the following time, Li Qian was busy looking for a suitable filming location while preparing the crew.

Although most of them are one-man shows of the protagonist, but the other supporting roles can't be dealt with by someone casually, and it took dozens of group performances and special appointments in a day to determine the actor who delivered food for the dead ghost.

is still a graduate of the Beijing Film Academy, 99 grades, the name is quite loud, called Zhou Dehua, a combination of Liu Dehua and Zhou Huajian.

Although he graduated from the Beijing Film Academy, he didn't mix well, and the last film was the male N number in Zhu Xiaotian's version of "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang", if you have to count it, it should be close to the male number 20.

Further back is the "Legend of Sword and Fairy" filmed the year before last, which is also the male N, Li Qian has watched this drama, it is very good-looking, and he was almost sprayed to death by netizens before, as if it means that the appearance of the hero and heroine is too different from that in the game.

However, this film has not yet been on the stars, it was originally said that the first to be remade was CCTV, but it was later cut off by the sugar man, and it is unknown whether it has anything to do with this if he didn't get the right to go to the star, it's all rumors, and Li Qian didn't pay attention to it, but he still thinks the TV series is very good.

Li Qian had almost no impression of Zhou Dehua, and after thinking about it for a long time, he remembered that he played a photo studio owner in a TV series "I'm Waiting for You in the Future", and he was also a male N.

This is also normal, there are countless group performances in Hengdian, but there are many people who can stand out, and it is said that there are many out of ten thousand.

There is still time, Li Qian is looking for actors and interviewing the crew.

Field workers, makeup artists, and lighting are all easy to handle, and the basic ability is enough.

The lighting belongs to the photographer anyway, and the photographer has no problem with the lighting.

With Zhang Zhonghua in charge of the main camera, the photographer in charge did not have much demand.

After a few days of busy work, one is almost an execution.

The execution can't be sloppy, Li Qian also waited for a few days and picked four or five interviews from many applicants.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Li Qian waited in the studio for the arrival of the first interviewer.

With his resume in hand.

"Guo Fan, graduated with a bachelor's degree in law, published comics, worked in Tourism Satellite TV, and won the gold medal of the World Greenpeace Global Public Service Advertising Competition......
