"A makeup artist, well, you can hire a senior makeup artist for 10,000 yuan. You need at least three porters, and one assistant cameraman. The woman in the cell phone video and the two shameless kidnappers, this is another
There are three of them. Anan, Brother Xi and the others can be hired as porters and kidnappers at the same time. They can do it for one hundred yuan a day. Brother Xi’s wife can play the role of a woman..."
After writing and drawing on paper and setting all the rules, Shao Shuaijun began to formally prepare the crew. Anan, Sishui, and Zebra were recruited into the crew as porters, each with a hundred dollars a day and one meal to take care of. Brother Xi is a group
First, he was recruited into the crew as an assistant director, responsible for liaising with venues and renting equipment, which cost 300 yuan a day. Brother Xi's wife, Sister Liu, only had to act for one day, and she could do it for 150 yuan.
The makeup artist is Li Yuanyuan. He is the makeup artist for the crew of "Prodigal Yanqing" which is currently filming in Hengdian. The extras the Prodigal Yanqing crew is looking for are all provided by Brother Xi, so Brother Xi knows him. He is also willing to take this private job, but the price is high
With 15,000, he could only find time to come over to set the makeup, touch up the makeup, etc. and leave it to his apprentice, a little girl named Xu Hui.
Li Yuanyuan's makeup skills were very good. Shao Shuaijun agreed to the quotation of 15,000 yuan and also offered Xu Hui a salary of 150 yuan a day. As for the cosmetics, Li Yuanyuan was responsible for providing them.
The assistant cameraman is also hired from the crew of "Prodigal Yanqing" Zhao Beiyang. Like Xu Hui, Zhao Beiyang is the apprentice of the real cameraman Xiao Ke. Although he has no experience, he is still very skilled with the camera and lens. The asking price is not high.
Two hundred yuan a day, no matter what you eat.
The props used in the movie include two high-definition DV cameras, several imitation Zippo lighters, a fake large-screen machine, a knife, a pen, several fluorescent sticks, several flashlights, and an iron box.
The total cost of the wine flask was nearly a thousand yuan. The camera had to be rented separately, with a one-day rental fee of two hundred. Sound collection, lighting equipment, etc. also cost between one hundred and two hundred yuan a day.
Brother Xi provided the venue for free, and also bought a cart of sand for 200 yuan. In addition to custom-made coffin props and other small equipment, the cost was more than 1,000 yuan.
Including the approval fee, the initial cost is nearly 18,000 yuan. The daily salary is 950 yuan, the rental fee is 850 yuan, and the food expenses are more than 200 yuan.
This must be spent. Lin Lin finally figured out that Shao Shuaijun must ensure that the filming is completed within a week in order to take all the filming according to the budget of 50,000 yuan.
Of course, the cost of post-production must be ignored here, because Shao Shuaijun can handle the post-production soundtrack, subtitles, dubbing, and editing at no cost. In this way, he can still have 100,000 yuan, which he can use as public relations expenses.
The price of "Buried Alive".
Shao Shuaijun's expectation is to sell the distribution rights of the finished film to a film company and buy it out in one go. In exchange for a few million soft girl coins, he can restart the filming of the next film.
…
On March 28, 2004, in Liu Sanxi's home, there was a wooden coffin with piles of sand next to it. Lights, sound, and all units were ready. Li Yuanyuan had already put on Shao Shuaijun's makeup, with a stubble on his face and a slightly dark complexion.
, just like a middle-aged uncle.
"Anan, close the door. Sishui, Zebra, take away the left side panel of the coffin." Shao Shuaijun danced for a while, got into the wooden coffin, and tilted his head, "Zhao Beiyang, the camera is focused, Xu Hui helps to close the microphone. Hi
Brother, prepare the black cloth and turn off the lights. The first scene begins!"
The lights went out, and there was a period of darkness in front of the camera and a period of darkness in the coffin. Shao Shuaijun let out a dull and rapid breathing, followed by several shouts of "Hey". After a while, he lit the prepared imitation Zippo lighter and used the light of the lighter.
, Shao Shuaijun’s face jumped into the camera...
"Card!"
After the plot was over, Shao Shuaijun immediately got out of the coffin, came behind the camera, faced the monitor, and played back the scene just now. He touched his chin, and Shao Shuaijun narrowed his eyes slightly.
"How's it going, Ah Jun, you're really photogenic." Zhao Beiyang said with a smile.
"No, my expression was a little stiff just now, it seems like the makeup was too heavy. Xu Hui, come over and help me wipe off a little bit, apply it evenly, and I'll see the effect."
"okay."
After changing the makeup, the shot of this scene was much smoother. Shao Shuaijun carefully compared it with the American version of "Buried Alive" and felt that it was passable. He started shooting the next shot.
There is only one scene in "Buried Alive". Although Shao Shuaijun's performance is not as good as Ryan's, he is still relaxed and able to handle it. After three days, the crew passed the running-in stage and the progress began to accelerate. Often, one shot only needs one shot.
That's it, everyone was amazed and called Shao Shuaijun like he was an acting veteran.
Indeed, he has been trained for nearly ten years more than others, and he has seen the original footage. If he still can't act well, then there is something wrong.
"Anan, dim the lights. Si Shui, go to the left and hold the rope. Brother Xi, go to the right and hold the rope. Zhao Beian, push the camera up. Remember, you have to step back in a slow counterclockwise direction and focus on my face.
...Okay, let’s begin!”
In the scene, Luoshan sent the video of cutting his finger, made a call, put the phone next to his head, stared blankly into the void, feeling more sad than heartbroken. Combined with the shot pushed by the distant view, it profoundly portrayed the scene.
At this moment, Luo Shan's mood was sinking into the abyss bit by bit.
Shao Shuaijun opened his mouth slightly, and the dim light from the lighter illuminated half of his face. He was completely immersed in Luoshan's loss. His eyes were empty, just like the drunken scene when the director was replaced on the spot. The loss was deeply felt.
Five days later, the last scene was filmed. This scene was after the coffin was damaged, sand poured in, and the protagonist Luo Shan was buried alive. Shao Shuaijun did not lie down in it, but asked Anan to lie down in it, while he directed Sishui outside.
Zebra and Brother Xi filled it with sand.
Then he took control of the camera himself and slowly pushed it until the sand filled the coffin and the camera suddenly went dark.
"I announce that "Buried Alive" has been completed!"
"Oh woo!"
Everyone hugged each other and cheered. In five days, the filming of a movie was completed. Although it was simple and the shooting scenes were boring, the excitement of everyone was unimaginable. Because everyone was a rookie, Anan, Sishui and Zebra, they were all perfect before.
The trapper, dead body or group of soldiers cannot even show the front.
Although Brother Xi is the leader of the group, he also has no chance to show his face.
This time I didn’t show my face, but I actually participated in the filming of a movie, completely participating from beginning to end. This kind of excitement cannot be described in words.
Zhao Beiyang and Xu Hui also shouted excitedly. They are young people and are apprentices in the TV series. Now they have participated in a movie and took the lead in completing photography and makeup. Regardless of whether the movie is successful or not, this experience, this experience
It is precious and unforgettable.
Shao Shuaijun also applauded. He didn't react that much. He was still a little excited. In this life, this is the first work of a real director. Looking at the camera, the last flashlight light went out, but his mind drifted to the past life. If not
Dengtian Entertainment's joke, then he is probably filming his first movie.
Put away your emotions and smile.
"Okay, now that you are reborn, let's live a cool life and make movies coolly!"
