Before his rebirth, Gu Beizhen didn't think it was difficult to shoot a film and television drama. The actors acted in front, the cameras were filmed in back, and the director controlled the overall situation.

But only after really participating in it, Gu Bei realized how naive he was before.

A crew is not only a director and actor, but also requires photography, lighting, props, makeup... More than a dozen departments have divided the work and cooperation, and none of them are indispensable. Performance is just the final presentation. Relatively speaking, it is the simplest task.

Before each scene was filmed, hundreds of people were working hard to prepare, and it was the actor's turn to come on stage until everything was ready.

But the only actors who became famous in the end, but they are never mentioned behind the scenes.

After working hard all morning, the hottest time of the day came.

Gu Bei was squatting and leaning against a tree, enjoying the shade brought by the shade. He wanted to sit directly on the ground, but he was wearing the costume of the prince of the Black Chicken King.

When he sat on the ground, he was relaxed. When he was filming, his butt was dirty, so Liu, who was in charge of clothing, had to settle the score with him.

It doesn’t matter if I’m tired. I used to it when I went out to pick scenery, but I’ve been used to it one day when I wasn’t tired.

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

What Gu Bei couldn't stand the most was the issue of efficiency.

Too messy.

It has been a week since the start of the computer, and Gu Bei’s deepest feeling is chaos.

At the beginning, it was still possible to explain it without forming a tacit understanding, but after a week of shooting, the departments still couldn't get together.

Every day when you arrive at the set, Gu Bei can see a group of people busy talking, each doing their own things, waiting for makeup, waiting for props, waiting for lighting, and waiting for arranging the camera.

After finally getting ready, the actor was still being pulled by the director to talk about the opera.

OK!

I have to wait.

Just waiting for the shooting time has become the smallest part of the filming.

"It won't work if this continues!"

"What can't do?"

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

He has now been appointed as the crew's live broadcast by Director Yang Jie, responsible for assisting the director in completing the shooting plan for the day.

Of course, the scene record is just one of the work. In fact, Li Chengru took everything in the crew. When he lacked props, he took the props team to buy them. When the lights broke, he had to go to the battlefield to repair them. Even he was responsible for ordering lunch boxes. He was a versatile crew member.

This was also what Director Yang Jie asked at the time. Due to the tight funding of the crew, the crew must be compressed as much as possible in terms of staffing.

Save as much as possible.

It is best for one person to do eight people's work, and everyone is specialized and versatile.

The same is true for Gu Bei. His job is art, but it is not limited to art. He has to be on call if he has other things.

"You didn't realize that our crew is not efficient?"

Li Chengru looked confused.

Not efficient?

He really didn't think so.

Seeing this, Gu Bei knew that these words were in vain. He was also a newcomer. He used to be an amateur drama actor and was still a poor person. Now this is his first time to come into contact with film and television production, so what can he see?

"Tell me, why are you not efficient?"

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

Gu Bei frowned. He worked in many companies in his previous life and was a leader. The most important thing he paid attention to in his daily work is efficiency.

If any job is delayed by someone under his command, he will definitely not forgive him.

Like now, only about ten scenes are filmed a day. No wonder when the plan was made, the content of this episode took one month to complete.

There are naturally hardware problems here. For example, in such a large crew of "Journey to the West", there is only an old camera, and it is a split-type.

Often, because you have to take different angles, you can only shoot it repeatedly over and over again.

But it cannot push all the inefficiency to the hardware.

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

No, I can't continue like this anymore.

The more you think about it, the more irritated you feel.

Gu Bei is not only behind the scenes, but also has to make guest appearances. Although he doesn't play many roles in the role of the Prince of Black Chicken, he has to dress up and wait every day when he comes to the set.

If something happens, the original plan to film the film cannot be filmed, you have to take it forward at any time and shoot the prince's part first.

Now the outdoor temperature is approaching forty degrees, and it has to be wrapped tightly every day. Who can bear it?

"Hey! What are you doing?"

Li Chengru was still waiting for Gu Bei to answer his doubts. Seeing Gu Bei suddenly got up and left, he quickly shouted.

Unfortunately, Gu Bei doesn't have time to explain to him now that he has to go to director Yang Jie and must change the current problem of inefficiency in the crew.

It is true that slow work is done, but that is not procrastination.

"Director Yang, Director Zhu."

Yang Jie and Zhu Xiaofeng are also having lunch now. While eating, they are discussing their afternoon shooting plans.

In fact, the plan has been around for a long time, but sometimes external conditions do not allow it, so they can only make constant adjustments.

"Xiao Gu, don't you find a cool place to rest. Is there anything wrong?"

Yang Jie has been so anxious these days. Gu Bei can see the efficiency of the crew, how could she not see it as a director?

If we continue to procrastinate like we are now, the tasks assigned by the Taiwan leaders will probably be difficult to complete.

But she had no choice. What she had to be responsible for was the core issue. It was impossible to care about everything in detail.

"It's something to do with you."

Gu Bei kept some words in his heart for several days, but today he really couldn't speak up.

"What's the matter? Tell me!"

Yang Jie pulled the last bite of rice into it.

The crew is not well funded, and every penny has to be spent on the edge. The food standard is naturally not high. This meal every day at noon is basically steamed buns, plus a vegetarian dish, and pickles are enough.

But no one is picky.

These days, eating is the main thing, and eating is the auxiliary thing.

"Director Yang, I think we only shoot more than ten scenes every day, and sometimes we can only shoot two or three scenes. If we want to finish filming the content of this episode, how long does it take?"

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

Seeing that Yang Jie was going to teach him a political class, Gu Bei hurriedly said, "Director Yang, I don't mean that. What I want to say is... Efficiency issues, such as hardware issues, if the conditions are not met, we really can't solve them. There is nothing to say about this, but the coordination issues of various departments of the crew are waiting every day when they arrive on the set. Can we think of solutions 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 before.

But he didn't expect Gu Bei would come to her to talk about this problem.

"You can see it all, I can't see it. At the beginning of the work, various departments need to be well-connected, and there is no coordination on the spot. Li Chengru is a novice and has to practice slowly, others..."

Yang Jie spread her hands.

"You can watch it yourself, there are only a few, I have to take care of the filming. Director Zhu is responsible for the script, and teachers Xun Hao and Ren Fengpo are responsible for the show and the performance of the actors. Where are there anyone?"

No one?

No one can't open his eyes and watch it keeps going so messy!

Gu Beixin made a decision and made a decision.

"Director Yang, if you feel at ease, otherwise... let me try it?"

Gu Bei was not very confident when he said this.

Li Chengru is a newbie, but he is also a newcomer.

However, these days, he has been observing the work of each department and the operation mode of the entire crew. In addition, when he was in school, he also observed the work of some crew members.

He is not a layman in filming films and TV series.

I dare not say that I am fully confident, but at least it will not make the crew more confused.

After hearing what Gu Bei said, Yang Jie was really a little surprised and thought about it for a while.

"Let's do this, follow Li Chengru in the afternoon and adapt to your suggestions first. I will consider it."

OK.

Although it did not meet expectations, the director at least said that since it was the director, Gu Beike took the chicken feathers as a command arrow.

"Director Yang, are you really planning to let Xiao Gu do the on-site coordination? He has been with the team for the first time and has no experience at all, so you are not afraid..."

Zhu Xiaofeng said worriedly when Gu Bei left.
