Chapter 62 Stills
Today, Li Xianyun first took a look at the shooting of the secret incident in the ghost city, as usual.
The filming of the documentary is relatively simple. The heroine played by Yun Zhi just stands in front of the camera and chats every day. Behind the camera are the attractions in the ghost town. They also shoot them, and they bring the big names to come over to chat when they are free.
Documentaries generally do not require too many fancy shots, but they require long-term follow-up shooting. The content that lasts half an hour can take several hundred hours to cut, which is obviously different from ordinary movies.
But because it is a fake documentary, it is actually a movie and has a plot, so there is still a certain arrangement, so you have to take advantage of the situation.
So those actors have to pull the same number of times if they are done or not. The same few lines may appear in different scenes.
Chen Ganli Xiaoxiao and other big-name artists are also quite polite, and they may have been wondering in their hearts: You are too much of a guest appearance, I have to say eight times every day just a few lines.
Fortunately, it's simple, it's basically done once, otherwise I really can't stand it.
At this moment, Li Xiaoxiao said N times of lines again, and then improvised a few words before finishing the matter. Li Xianyun saw this set of shots and returned to the crew with Li Xiaoxiao.
While walking, Li Xiaoxiao said, "Director Li, you are very considerate in this documentary."
"Nonsense, I'll give Lao Zhang more time." Li Xianyun looked very aggrieved.
No matter how careful this kind of shooting is, it will still affect the normal progress of the God-killing crew. So Li Xianyun, on the one hand, diligently cut off the duration of the special effects, and on the other hand, he is raising his "ghost" hand.
It is rare to encounter special effects that can NG, and everyone is also very happy.
The time that big names were wasted in documentaries saved back from the God-killing crew.
"That's also cheap Lao Zhang, not me." Li Xiaoxiao rolled his eyes.
Li Xianyun said, "Why would you like to look back and design a beautiful special effect for you? What about the scene when you were rescued by Chen Gan? I rushed forward and danced with colorful lights all over my body, and the sky was full of splashes. It was absolutely beautiful to the audience. The live effect did not require later."
"Can you do it?" Li Xiaoxiao was surprised.
"Of course, it's very simple. Just let me go with the rest." Li Xianyun didn't want to be afraid of scaring you to death, even Wiya would not need to go with it.
"Then you didn't say it earlier." Li Xiaoxiao was a little angry.
"Nonsense, he didn't add money, there was no such thing in the agreement." Li Xianyun was confident.
Li Xiaoxiao covered her mouth and smiled, "Then I don't care. I've agreed to give me this."
"It's useless for me to agree. Lao Zhang has the final say whether he adds it or not. With my understanding of him, maybe he still feels it is not concise enough, sensationalism, and overshadows the main character, which has affected other aspects of the results."
Li Xiaoxiao was dissatisfied: "I told him to go."
Everyone has their own needs. For Li Xiaoxiao, his own beauty is the most important, and for Zhang Damu, the beauty of the overall picture is the most important.
Others can't beat Zhang Damu, but Li Xiaoxiao is not afraid of him.
As he said that, he really wanted to pass.
At this moment, a noise suddenly broke out behind me.
Looking back, I saw a group of people making noise.
Well, there was a quarrel again.
It is normal for quarrels and troubles in the crew. Even if the director has an old team, it is impossible for the entire crew to be an old team. Most of the people are still found from outside. They are not familiar with each other and will not be polite to each other. If they have a little argument, they will just ignite.
It is normal to curse yourself all the time.
Otherwise, the director must have authority? Otherwise, he will be shocked!
But this time it seems a little different. Someone is cursing at others, and the one-sided situation is happening.
Li Xianyun and Li Xiaoxiao looked at each other and walked over together.
When I got closer, I saw a photographer scolding a young man holding a camera.
The photographer is Qian Jia, Zhang Damu's old team, and a million-level photographer.
The young man was named He Feng, the stills master.
As soon as he saw that He Feng was scolded, Li Xianyun understood what was going on.
Needless to ask, it must be He Feng that influenced the photographer.
The so-called stills are specifically responsible for taking behind-the-scenes footage, the state of the performance, etc. during the crew, taking some beautiful photos for the actors to promote and promote artists.
The various beautiful photos of artists that fans see online, especially those with makeup, are basically from the stills.
But speaking of it, the stills are the most miserable among the crew.
There is no other reason, their work will affect the crew's shooting.
For example, the crew is filming here, and there is a sudden cracking sound over there, and the recording engineer yells: "Who is the fucking cracking?"
It was obvious that it was the sound of the stills pressing the shutter.
Okay, start over.
Or maybe the big camera is aimed at the actors, and the crew sneaks over to shoot, but is standing on the camera's moving slide.
He kicked and roared: Dare to block my way?
It is difficult to capture when an actor is most beautiful. If it really appears, you have to seize the opportunity. But you can't compete with the cameraman, you can't press the shutter at will, and you can't turn on the flash. It either affects the sound recorder or the lights. It's hard to find a good location, because good locations are occupied by other relevant crew members, such as those who pick up poles, those who turn on the lights, photographers, and those who work as coolies when necessary are more important than you.
And if you miss the opportunity, the producer and agent will scold you when they see it: What are you doing?
As a job that does not directly act on crew shooting, the stills are really hard-working. If you want to take beautiful photos, you have to find the right time to survive in a typical gap.
So sometimes, in order to grab a good angle, you will offend people accidentally.
Being scolded by a cameraman? Then there is no need to ask, it's blocking the way.
Sure enough, Qian Jia is the one who is now coaching He Feng: "Will you find a position? Get out of here! Fuck me, I will kick you to death if you dare to affect me!"
The stills' status as a low-level master, He Feng bowed his head and dared not speak out, but tears appeared in the young man's eyes.
Li Xianyun frowned: "Old Qian, forget it, if you have something to say, it will be difficult for everyone."
Qian Jia saw that it was Li Xianyun, so she couldn't say anything, and said with a smile: "If you don't scold these guys, he won't be relieved. The crew goes out every day for dozens or millions, and he can't afford to pay if he delays once. I scold him, it's just for his own good so that he can't make a mistake."
These days, scolding you is for your own good!
Do you think you are a father?
"I understand." Li Xianyun took out a cigarette and handed it to Qian Jia: "Speaking of it, my crew has also affected you, and I'm very embarrassed."
Qian Jia took the cigarette and smiled: "Boss Li, you are polite, you are different. You are our strong supporter, I'm fucking! Your special effects are really exciting. I've been shooting movies in my life, but I've never seen such special effects shoots. The real effects are not called special effects!"
That's right, what is the special effect called the real shot? It should be called the on-site setting. The only reason for the special effect is: I'm asking for a price!
After spanking Qian Jia for a few words, he calmed down his anger. Li Xianyun saw that He Feng was still sobbing and waved to him, "He Feng, come here."
He Feng lowered his head and walked over: "Boss Li, thank you."
"It's okay." Li Xianyun hooked He Feng: "I remember you're nineteenth this year?"
"Yes." He Feng nodded: "I came with Teacher Chang, the first time I joined the crew."
There are also newcomers in the big crew, and He Feng is one.
His teacher is Chang Mingliang, who is a poster and is quite famous in the industry.
Famous masters usually bring disciples, both training and exploiting.
Li Xianyun didn't know how Chang Mingliang charged, but based on his understanding of the current situation of the crew, he basically asked for a package price for his disciples. He said it was 10,000 yuan in stills, but in fact, it might only be given 1,000 yuan, and the remaining 9,000 yuan belongs to the master.
Li Xianyun didn't want to care about this kind of thing, but just said, "Don't work so hard. Isn't my crew filming? I think this is the case. When I'm done filming here, will you just pick some and send them over?"
The secrets of the ghost city have much more hindering to the God-killing crew than the stills, and they naturally have more good shots, so they also made guest appearances in the stills.
Unexpectedly, He Feng shook his head: "I don't, I want to take pictures by myself."
"Huh? Don't want such a good opportunity?" Li Xiaoxiao next to him was surprised: "The photos in Director Li's crew are much better than those you took by yourself."
He Feng thrust his neck: "That's not my job. Besides, I chose Director Li's crew and did not make progress on myself. What I did was that I was not capable of stealing other people's things now, and that would be incompetent for the rest of my life."
Li Xianyun was intrigued.
He looked at He Feng: "No, I have an idea. I like you."
After thinking about it, he said, "How about you come to my side after the crew has finished filming?"
"Ah?" He Feng looked at Li Xianyun in surprise.
Li Xianyun nodded with certainty: "My crew is small and I can't afford to hire big names, but I hope to cultivate my own core team. It doesn't matter if I'm a little more tender, it's easy to be motivated. Which big name didn't come from a rookie?"
"But I'm still following Master Chang." He Feng said naively.
Li Xiaoxiao curled her lips: "He is not your father. He gives you a chance. If you help him make money, no one owe anyone. Xiao He, Director Li's company is small now, but it has a bright future in the future. Don't miss such a good opportunity."
He Feng thought for a while and nodded vigorously: "Hey, thank you Boss Li."
Li Xianyun laughed: "You might as well call me Director Li."
An angry roar came from a distance: "Who is there? You can't fucking sound less?"
