Hualiu Director

Chapter 26 "Don't Stop the Camera"

After eating and drinking, Lin Hong returned to the hotel room with some cooked food and Red Bull. He was going to stay overnight.The cameraman and pd have already left work, and Lin Hong will enter the script writing time next, and they cannot shoot.

Before writing the script, Lin Hong called Liao Xingmin who was far away in the capital.

"Brother, my brother is in trouble this time, it's up to you whether he lives or dies."

Lin Hong cried miserably as soon as he came up, but his voice was very stable, so Liao Xingmin was not in a hurry to agree.

"Say something!"

"You also know that I came to Ningbo to record a program this time. I'm about to make a film and work with other directors, but they all have people or experience. As for your brother, I don't care what I want. Do you want to be a brother? Come help your brother!"

"May I help you? Do you want to build a building or demolish it? I only know how to work on construction sites. I don't know how to make movies!"

"Brother, I don't want you to make movies, I want you to help me manage people."

"Take care of people? Take care of you!"

"Yes, and you are not only in charge of me, but you are in charge of the entire crew. You are just in charge of food, drink, food, clothing, housing, and transportation. You can help me with the set for a few days. As long as it is the crew, you will take care of it. For example, what venue do I want to find? When filming, you and the art director or photographer will call me the front stop, you will order the lunch for the crew, arrange the transportation for our transition, and contact the extras. In a word, you are the chief executive of the crew!"

The work of scene management is not as valuable as photography and art, but it is definitely the hardest job, and it can only be done by the director's most trusted person. At present, it seems that no one is more suitable than Liao Xingmin.He came out of the society relatively early, and has dealt with people from all walks of life. He has a wide range of people in the middle and lower classes in the capital. The most important thing is that he has management experience. Under his management, the construction sites of hundreds of people are in good order. The old gangsters from all over the world are obedient when they come to his construction site, this is his skill.

"Chairman? The Li Lianying kind?"

"Except for a lot of chickens, everything else is about the same!"

Liao Xingmin considered that the construction site was not busy these days, and his brother really needed help, so he readily agreed.

"Each lunch box made me embezzle [-] cents, I'll take this job!"

"You post me 100 yuan every day, and I will introduce actresses to you after the shooting."

"Damn, if there's such a good thing, why don't you call earlier. Where is it? I'll fly over to find you tonight."

Liao Xingmin wished he could fly to Lin Hong's side immediately, and finish filming as soon as possible. He has played so many friendly matches, but he has never faced a female star.

"Don't don't, in order to save costs, I decided to go back to the capital for filming. I can save a lot of money by going back to Beijing for post-production. In this way, I will give you a call. It's my brother in the dormitory. His name is Zhang Wentong. You can take it with you tomorrow morning." He went to the first field.

This site is best to be an old factory. I’ll give you a few shots later. You can find something like that. I’ll transfer 20 yuan to you tomorrow morning. If you need the site rent, you can pay it directly. You can start renting from the 7th , The rent is settled every day, and it can save a fortune. "

Liao Xingmin on the other end of the phone kept nodding and wrote down Lin Hong's words. The two didn't chat about anything else this time, so Lin Hong hung up the phone directly.

Then Lin Hong sent another video chat to 409. It happened that the other five were in the dormitory. Lin Hong briefly talked about his script, and then asked them to start preparing for the things at hand, who should be contacted, who should be rented The equipment can be prepared early tomorrow morning, and it can be turned on only after Lin Hong returns to the capital.

In the end, Lin Hong called Li Zimin again. He needed a lot of props for the filming he was about to start, and he was really worried without a professional like Li Zimin around.

"Lin Hong, what time are you still awake!"

"?" Lin Hong looked at the time in the lower right corner of the computer screen, bj time 20:34, very early!

"I finished washing, who's calling?"

A charming female voice came from the microphone, and now Lin Hong finally understood why Li Zimin asked himself why he was still awake. It turned out that this kid, Jin Wuzangjiao, had a guilty conscience, or was he guilty of heart and body?

"Cough, cough, you can do it, you're making great progress!"

"Shh, keep your voice down. Tell me if you have anything to do. I'll hang up and call you back tomorrow if I have nothing to do."

Li Zimin was really tired these days, but he couldn't get enough of the delicious food for the first time, and Guo Ying was stalking her like a female fairy, never refusing his demands.

So, the land became fatter and the cattle thinner!

"It's business, you have to finish listening tonight."

Hearing what Lin Hong said was serious business, Li Zimin immediately sat up and leaned against the head of the bed, while Guo Ying was wiping her hair while leaning on Li Zimin's chest, and at the same time her ear was close to the phone.

"Is your Wuxi crew over?"

"Not yet. It's all about literary dramas recently, and the work of the props team is very easy. Do you need help?"

"Yes, I need your help, I don't worry about other prop masters!"

"how long it takes?"

Lin Hong thought about it for a while. Although the filming was very difficult, as long as the scene can be completed in at most two days, the death will not exceed three days.

"Maximum three days, filming in the capital, scheduled to start the day after tomorrow."

Li Zimin thought it would not be difficult to take four or five days off, and he could still go home by the way.

"Okay, give me the script. I will start preparing to make some props tomorrow. When the time comes, I will pack it and return to the capital. It won't delay your start-up."

Well, the one who wanted the script again, and it was reasonable, Lin Hong could only smile wryly.

"I'll give you the script tomorrow morning, I haven't finished it yet!"

"Then give it to me tomorrow morning, and I'll hang up if I have nothing else to do!"

Just as Lin Hong wanted to complain, you've lost your temper, but before he could say it, there was a busy tone on the phone, how anxious it was.

In fact, Li Zimin was not in a hurry, but he knew that Lin Hong knew that Guo Ying was on his side, so he was ashamed and did not dare to continue calling. Don't be ashamed.

"Your brother Lin Hong?"

"Well, I'm going back to the capital tomorrow afternoon, and it may take four or five days before I come back."

Li Zimin was very reluctant to part with Guo Ying.

"How about I also take a few days off to go to the capital with you. I only have two or three scenes in the next week. I will shoot their scenes first, and I will make up for it when I come back. It will not affect the progress of the crew at all."

Guo Ying blinked her big eyes and looked at Li Zimin. It also depends on whether Li Zimin is willing to take her back to the capital.

"Would you like to go home with me to see my parents?"

Guo Ying nodded quickly to express her willingness, and she was even more satisfied with Li Zimin's responsibility.Then, before Li Zimin took a bath, he jumped on him. Li Zimin could only secretly rub his waist to face the female goblin.

Unlike Li Zimin, who fell into a gentle town, Lin Hong quickly sent me to Liao Xingmin after drawing a few shots of the main scene, and then began to code and write the script at nine o'clock.

That night, Lin Hong drank four cans of Red Bull, ate two catties of braised vegetables, went to the bathroom three times, yawned seven or eight times, and finally finished writing the script at six o'clock in the morning.

There is no time to make more revisions, and even no time to proofread possible typos. If there are any problems with the details, it is time to make adjustments when shooting.

Lin Hong immediately sent the script to Kong Xiao, and then Chen Ge and Li Zimin also sent a copy.

After finishing all this, Lin Hong took a shower and squatted on the bed for more than an hour. When the alarm clock on his mobile phone rang at eight o'clock, he rushed to the airport with the cameraman and pd waiting at the door.

Today is the first day of the [-]-day period. I'm afraid someone has already started filming, and Lin Hong is still on his way to the filming location.

After the plane landed, Lin Hong turned on his phone and found that there were multiple missed calls and unread messages on WeChat.

Chen Ge: I read the script. To be honest, the risk is relatively high. If it’s done well, it’s a classic. If it’s not done well, it’s nothing.But I believe in your ability, you can contact Chen Yu yourself, I agree.

Liao Xingmin: The site you want has been found. It is a waste machinery factory in Daxing.

Zhang Wentong: Once the scene is found, Brother Liao is a ruthless person, I am convinced!

Li Zimin: Your sister-in-law said that she will play the leading role for you, and she can wear old makeup.

After leaving the airport, Lin Hong trotted all the way into the taxi. He is now racing against the clock.

Chen Yu had apparently obtained Chen Ge's permission, and when Lin Hong called him, he gave the tutor a holiday.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, a conference room at the Beijing Film Academy was full of people.In addition to the two leading actors Zhang Shan and Chen Yu who were invited temporarily, there is the old drama Gu Jinshan who has collaborated once, there are a few supporting actors that the producers Kong Xiao and Li are now looking for in the Beijing Film and Television Academy, and there is Sanshu Xing from the school. The lighting engineers dispatched from Hengdian urgently included two photographers called by Zeng Shuming from the Photography Academy, and even two migrant workers brought by Liao Xingmin from the construction site sat there curiously.When Li Zimin and his Hong Kong sister girlfriend Guo Ying appeared, the main creative team of the crew was basically in place.

"Everyone knows my situation this time. The time is tight and the task is heavy. I thank everyone for coming to help. There is something to say, everyone must get paid this time. This is the regulation of the program group, and the minimum cannot be lower than the industry average. But We have less shooting time, and I hope everyone can settle their wages by the day."

Some things must be said first, this is the respect for the program team, and it also allows Kong Xiao to have a bottom line when doing things.

Everyone said that Lin Hong was being polite. Since the program group asked for a fee, they took the industry's average salary, and it was calculated on a daily basis, and they didn't want any more.For example, Zhang Shan, Jin Shan and Guo Ying also said that the duration of a feature film is about the same as two episodes of a TV series, so it will be calculated according to the minimum salary of their two episodes of TV series. Lin Hong is really grateful, thinking that in the future he must compensate them.

There are four important roles in the play. The first male lead is Chen Yu, the second male lead is Zhang Shan, the first female lead will be here tonight, and the second female lead Guo Ying is already in place.

In addition to the absence of the No. [-] heroine, the crew also lacked a make-up artist, but Zhang Wentong said that he had already hired a good person, but he would not be able to be in place until after the evening self-study.

A brief meeting was held in the conference room. Lin Hong sorted out the shooting process and the most important scene. Although everyone was confused, they all found it very interesting. At the same time, they felt sorry for the difficulty of shooting. worry.

When the meeting was about to end, Zhang Wentong answered the phone and ran out excitedly. When he came back, he brought a girl with acne all over her face, small eyes with a flat nose, and many red spots on her body. If you want to use a One word to describe her is ugly, two words are ugly, three words are very ugly.

This is the makeup artist Zhang Wentong hired?Everyone looked at Zhang Wentong suspiciously, and then Zhang Wentong could only smile wryly.

"Brothers listen to my explanation!"

"No need to explain, I'm going to the bathroom!"

The girl stopped Zhang Wentong from explaining, she smiled at everyone and left the conference room.Zhang Wentong shrugged and continued the meeting. Lin Hong also decided to talk to Zhang Wentong later. He felt that this matter was strange. Zhang Wentong could not play tricks on Lin Hong on such an important job.

The meeting ended soon, and the door of the meeting room opened, and a pretty young woman appeared at the door. Her skin was white and her facial features were delicate, and she exuded a fresh and natural breath. In addition, her face had faint water marks, which made people feel uncomfortable. Unconsciously, I think of the phrase "clear water produces hibiscus, and it is natural to carve."

"Wow, old Zhang, don't tell me that this girl is the one just now!"

Zhang Wentong ignored Xing Wei, he stepped forward and introduced.

"Everyone, this is my girlfriend Liang Anni, my high school classmate, a senior student at the Beijing Normal University next door. Didn't you ask me why I came to Beijing Film Festival before, and now I can tell you that it is for her. Originally, I was I'm going to Tianjin Academy of Fine Arts, but knowing that he has passed the entrance examination to Beijing Normal University, I will choose the university closest to her."

Everyone in 409 suddenly realized that Zhang Wentong, who is both talented and beautiful, never found a girlfriend in school, and went out all day long.

"Fuck you, who is your girlfriend!"

Liang Anni slapped Zhang Wentong's hand away, but the coy look indicated that the relationship had been confirmed, but it was not long.

"Sister-in-law is mighty, your makeup skills are amazing, just like that... just a few minutes of makeup has such a good effect, admiration!"

Xing Wei's big mouth was intended to praise Liang Anni's makeup skills, but he didn't expect the straight man to be a cancer victim. Isn't this Chi Guoguo scolding people for being ugly in the first place?

Zhang Wentong and Liang Anni looked at each other, and then burst out laughing. When everyone was puzzled, Guo Ying came out to Liang Anni's side. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart, it's a pity that this girl went to the teacher's school.

"You guys, just now Annie came in with makeup on, and now she has no makeup off!"

It turned out that it was plain makeup, which means that no one could see that it was makeup at first.It seems that although Xing Wei said something wrong, there is nothing wrong with praising her makeup skills.

"Annie's family opened a photo studio in Xiamen. She has been exposed to makeup since she was a child. She was able to give customers satisfactory full makeup when she was still in junior high school. After so many years, those old makeup artists who are less skilled are inferior."

Hearing Zhang Wentong's bragging, Lin Hong was definitely the happiest. It was a happy event for his brother to catch up with a beautiful girl, and his crew had a skilled makeup artist, which was definitely great news for Lin Hong.

"Okay, welcome to our makeup artist Liang Anni. Now that the makeup artist has arrived, we can start work tonight and try to finish filming the third scene."

Everyone knew the time was tight, and no one complained about having to work the night shift on the first day, so they all took action.Liang Anni, who had just arrived, was still a little at a loss. She looked at Lin Hong, the soul of the crew.

"Director, I heard that I also have a role, but I don't know how to act!"

"Yes, you will go into the camera, but you don't need to speak lines, and you don't need to do any performances. At that time, you only need to make up the characters in the play normally, and you don't even need to worry about the camera."

When Liang Anni heard that it was such a way of getting into the mirror, she felt relieved, she was good at putting on makeup.

"Then what's the name of the director's movie?"

""Don't Stop the Camera"!"
