Chapter 31 Makeup Questions

When Han Xinyu woke up early in the morning, he saw Li Xianyun sitting on the sofa reading a book in her pajamas.

Han Xinyu walked over lazily: "Are you reading a photo book again?"

"No, this time it's makeup." Li Xianyun picked up the makeup knowledge in his hand and said.

"Why are you studying this again?" Han Xinyu was surprised.

"You don't understand the requirements of the technical department after you say it." Li Xianyun said casually.

"Are you telling a woman that you don't know how to put on makeup?" Han Xinyu asked back.

Well.

This is a good question.

Even if you are not a makeup artist, there will be no women who don’t know how to put on makeup.

Li Xianyun shrugged and briefly explained the planning of his technical department.

Han Xinyu also has some understanding of Yisheng Media's "black technology", but she did not expect that Li Xianyun actually planned to subvert the film and television production process and greatly reduce the cost of film and television shooting.

After listening to his rough talk, Han Xinyu understood: "So now your plan is affected by makeup?"

"Of course there are more than one that really affects this. There are too many problems, but makeup is indeed a major factor and needs to be solved one by one. But the most troublesome thing is here... Film and television shooting must go hand in hand. Any link will drag you back, which means that no matter how efficient other departments are, it is useless."

According to the theory of wooden barrels, the shortest wooden board that determines the height of the water in the barrel is the most suitable for film and television shooting.

Han Xinyu shook his head: "You were influenced by Cao Hongyue."

"What does it mean?" Li Xianyun was puzzled.

Han Xinyu said: "It is indeed time-consuming to put on makeup, but there is no way to solve the problem quickly."

“Tell me.”

"First of all, not every scene will have to re-put the makeup. Generally speaking, there is only the opening stage, and the actors need to focus on makeup, and most of them will make up for it. Strong lighting and sweating will make the makeup dissolve, so it needs to be compensated."

Strong lighting is not a problem, and the light that hurts ghosts can control the temperature. As for the sweating problem, if the actors do not need to NG repeatedly, then the labor force is not large. What affects them is mainly the familiarity of the script, which can be compensated in the early stage.

Li Xianyun said: "But there are always some scenes that require makeup change."

"You can stagger them. There are many kinds of makeup on them. In fact, the actors don't need to change too much makeup. Many of them are changes in costumes and hairstyles. If you can stagger the actors or scenes with larger makeup changes in the arrangement, then time is not a problem."

Li Xianyun shook his head: "This matter has been considered, but it is not easy to do. If it weren't for the same scene, what would the actors have to act the same scene? You can't split the same scene and shoot it in order to save time. Then the time saved is not waste enough. Besides, it is impossible to modify the script for this."

The screenwriters are already hard enough, and it would be nonsense to modify the script for the needs of makeup.

"But make-up artists and art directors can participate in the coordination." Han Xinyu said: "The makeup artists know the makeup needs and time required in each scene."

Let makeup artists and art directors participate in the coordination?

Li Xianyun was also shocked.

This is unprecedented.

But what does that matter?

What Li Xianyun did was unprecedented, so it was necessary to change the process appropriately.

Han Xinyu continued: "Of course there are also quick-acting makeup techniques. Good makeup artists can also complete their needs in a short period of time, but this requires better makeup artists and more assistants."

Hearing this, Li Xianyun clapped his hands and screamed: "That's right! The makeup artist's skills are also an important part!"

The overall situation is uncertain, and the details are made up!

Not everything is necessary!

Since the makeup artist session is weak, it is better to enhance your strength in this area.

However, other makeup artists require the most exquisite look, while Li Xianyun's makeup artists require the ultimate speed.

They can participate in the overall arrangement from the beginning, adjust the session appropriately according to the makeup time, and then arrange the makeup according to the time needs. Enough technology and enough manpower can make up for this link.

Of course, this cannot be completely compensated, but occasional delays are completely acceptable.

Originally, it was impossible to waste time on makeup. The theoretical limit speed of a month can be filmed in five or six days, but it is too tiring!

It is a good thing for makeup artists to keep up. Give others some rest and adjust time to buffer the problems of other departments - you can't really treat everyone as assembly line workers, after all, you have to work more than ten hours a day.

Besides, if you have an incongruent love, some scenes still have to be repeated. If you prepare, there will be no problem.

The coordination team said: You are fine, we are under great pressure. I have never seen you even consider makeup when doing coordination.

Han Xinyu smiled and said, "But the quality still needs to be discussed. The most complicated makeup is placed at the opening of the day. But in this way, the actors and makeup artists are in trouble, and they have to wake up a lot earlier than others every day."

Originally, makeup artists and actors didn’t have to get up early. After all, when you put on makeup, you still have to set up scenes and lights on the spot. Now that you set up scenes and lights so quickly, makeup artists and actors can only get up early. They are definitely the biggest hardcore in the crew, the battle force in the hardship.

"There is nothing to do about it." Li Xianyun smiled and said, "It's very good. One problem has been solved, and there are other problems now."

Li Xianyun said all the troubles he encountered, and Han Xinyu rolled his eyes when he heard them.

She shook her head repeatedly: "Film shooting itself is a process of artistic creation, and your requirements eliminate all artistic quality and become an industrial assembly line."

"Zi Xin said this. My idea is to complete the artistic part through previews." Li Xianyun replied.

Guli

"But the cost of doing previews for small productions is too high."

"Yes, another contradiction, so Cao Hongyue is still studying the issue of the rehearsal process." Li Xianyun smiled.

Director Cao was almost driven crazy by him.

"You can't solve all problems in a short time." Han Xinyu expressed despair about this.

"I know. As the saying goes, you can just chase a hundred miles and ask for half a day." Li Xianyun said with a smile.

Hearing this, Han Xinyu finally understood.

Yes, some things are easy to solve.

Just lower the requirements.

The same movie can be shot in seven days or seven months. What determines all this is quality.

The reason why Li Xianyun’s requirements are difficult to fulfill is that it corresponds to the basis of quality.

And quality also has countless points of composition.

The art of setting scenery is quality, photography and lighting is quality, action and fireworks are quality, actor acting is quality, and director lenses are quality.

The special lighting of the fireworks and fireworks in the Jingjing Art Art has little effect, so there is no quality problem, so it is enough to make up for it in other aspects.

Li Xianyun's real plan is to first make things difficult for his subordinates, squeeze out their greatest wisdom, and then make concessions based on limited compromises.

This concession can be a concession in quality or a concession in time.

For example, when applying makeup, this time it is equivalent to a moderate concession in quality - how many people know how to apply makeup? Just look good.

At this moment, Han Xinyu understood what Li Xianyun really meant, and he shook his head: "You are more sinister than before."

Li Xianyun had no choice but to: "There is no way, as the boss, you must know this."

Han Xinyu did not criticize this. She knew very well that an excellent boss had no means and could not control so many people. She said, "Then what is your real plan?"

Li Xianyun whispered: "Under normal circumstances, a large investment of about 50 to 10 million yuan for an A-level network can be completed, which can take one to two months. According to the new model, it can be completed in about one to twenty days. It does not count the cost of the rehearsal, but the actual cost is about 2 million yuan. With special effects, the effect of the film should be equivalent to the production cost of about 10 to 12 million yuan, but the specific situation depends on the situation."

The specific cost you can save depends on the content needs of the film.

For example, if a blockbuster with an investment of 100 million yuan is a super water-injected film with funds participating, then the big head will first get 70% of it, and the remaining 30 million yuan will be filmed. The crew will go online and then it will be blacklisted. The actual capital investment may only be 15 million yuan. Then, according to this specification, if Li Xianyun and the others follow the team throughout the whole process, they can handle it with 3 million yuan.

Three million is the maximum of 100 million, which is one-thirty-one of the cost.

If you don’t inject water, you can do a 100 million yuan production process and follow the whole process, and it is possible to have 20 to 40 million yuan, depending on the situation.

For example, the Fortress of Magic City does not count as 320 million yuan in production, and the actors' pay is about 220 million yuan, and the other production costs are about 100 million yuan. If you join the producer and director, you can make half of it. The bosses of various departments of the crew make the remaining half. The actual investment may be about 25 million yuan. If you follow Yisheng's new model, you can complete it with 5 million yuan.

But in fact, it still costs 15 to 20 million yuan to make this movie in Yisheng's new model.

Why?

Because Magic City Fortress is a typical special effects camera with many special effects and poor quality, it is better to use inferior products to blow balloons!

Yisheng Media has no advantage in low-level special effects!

So if they want to make such films, they can't save too much money.

Also, although the actors have been short, the basic price is there. After you finish filming in three months in half a month, the time is one-sixth, but the pay is not one-sixth, but it is more likely to be one-third.

By doing this, the savings will be limited.

So how much you can save depends on the specific operation of the specific project.

For example, transfer: it cannot save traffic time.

There is also material loss: Even if there is a Chili Old Ghost, you have to use raw materials to make it.

In short, when following the whole process, it is possible to save one-third to half of the cost; if the double crew mode, if the ghost town occupies half of the venue, it means that it can only be snatched from one-third of the budget, and the money of core personnel such as producers, directors, and artists - after all, this is participated in the preliminary preparations, so the money cannot be discounted.

So cost savings are possible from one-sixth to one-third.

Even so, this is already a huge improvement, and at least the project can be implemented.

Han Xinyu shook his head helplessly: "Even if you make concessions, it's still very fast? If you do this, don't expect celebrities to participate in the show in the future. No one will cooperate with you like this."

"I didn't really like celebrities either." Li Xianyun smiled.

Han Xinyu's face sank.

"Except you." Li Xianyun changed his words.

Han Xinyu finally became happy, but said, "Do you a favor."

"What?"

"Don't let me act in your movie." Han Xin said.

Li Xianyun laughed.

Indeed, this workflow is absolutely exhausting!
