Shao Yingxiong Studio did not enter the abandoned 798 factory in a expensive place in the capital, and rented the two largest factories on the street.

Nowadays, 798 is not a paradise for art youth. There are no artworks and art exhibitions that are standing here every day. Zhang Wan puts the studio's location here because it is cheaper.

When the car drove all the way into Factory 798, Shao Yingxiong saw the huge sign in the studio at a glance. Under the sign was a red brick wall. It looked very rustic and terrible.

"This..." Shao Yingxiong hesitated for a moment.

Zhang Wan said: "I think so. Now I have some money, but it can't be bad. It doesn't look very good here, but the price is right, and I signed a long-term lease contract with very little money. The rent remains unchanged for ten years and can be paid every year. I have compared it, and there is no more suitable place than this."

Shao Yingxiong knew that Zhang Wan was used to living a small life, so he had no objection to this. The only feeling uncomfortable was that the studio would start in the future. People who came to negotiate business would deny their partners at first sight from the store.

"Brother Zhang, you can find a decoration team immediately. I want a completely different factory building in the 798 factory area. To decorate, try to be as avant-garde style as possible. Don't be afraid of spending money. Just find designers who are full of personality and designs that are not understood by ordinary people. Uh... I will give you 500,000 yuan, and I want you to change this within two months."

After saying that, Shao Yingxiong entered the factory, which had a large area. After decorating some artworks that occupy a large practical area, he could easily separate an office area.

"Brother Zhang, the frame in the factory is high enough. I am creating a loft and a few offices in the attic. In the future, I will not be the only one in our studio. You, Yuanyuan, and there will be people joining you in the future. It will be too late to get it now. It is better to plan ahead."

After walking around the factory, Shao Yingxiong left with satisfaction. At this stage, the studio cannot be fully opened and when the decoration of the factory cannot keep up, he can only return to the hotel-style apartment to work.

The driver threw Zhang Wan down and took Shao Yingxiong home. Shao Yingxiong ignored what designer Zhang Wan asked for and what style he designed. The most important thing in front of him was to make the budget for "Bright Sword" after deciding the studio's investment.

In fact, this budget can also be done by others. However, Shao Yingxiong is a person who knows the history of the entertainment industry. He understands that almost everyone in the entertainment industry is a boss after more than ten years. But are these celebrities who want to be bosses really good bosses? Not necessarily, this is like a director without a screen sense not necessarily all good editors, and it is absolutely impossible to be unprofessional.

In order to thoroughly understand all the process of a TV series from production budget to group creation to final editing, Shao Yingxiong decided to do it himself.

So, how did a crew make the budget?

In fact, Shao Yingxiong made a huge mistake when making the budget. The budget was not deducted at home. It was achieved by the director and producers after completing the storyboard script, while selecting scenes, observing the prices, people's sentiments, and calculating expenses.

Thanks to Shao Yingxiong's magical computer, the computer information gave him too much convenience. For example, the computer information told him that "Bright Sword" was filmed in Jinzhong, where Pingyao Ancient City, Qi County, Hongbao and other places were the main shooting locations. With this information, what Shao Yingxiong had to do was very simple. Calculate the number of people needed by the crew, call the crew to find relationships and ask about the cost of blasting, eating, drinking, defecation, clothing, props, etc., and you can see a rough idea.

Next is the specific cost, which calculates the cost according to the camera, such as how much does the blasting scene in the twelve lenses of the storyboard script, how much does the crew cost for a meal, how much does the hotel cost, etc.

No one can go smoothly. Shao Yingxiong encountered a difficult situation that every director had to go through the second day after he calculated the approximate budget. That is the storyboard script. The storyboard script is not simple in the eyes of Shao Yingxiong, a professional performer in the performance department. After so many trainings from the crew, Shao Yingxiong can clearly see the role of the storyboard script.

If you are not a person in the circle, I am afraid that you only know one thing about the storyboard scripts and not the other. Almost all laymen believe that shooting scripts according to the camera is for the convenience of the crew, and you can change to another group after shooting one set of shots in the same scene.

Yes, I’m not wrong in thinking this way, but this is by no means the main function of the storyboard script. The direct service object of the storyboard script is editing!

When mainland TV series and movies were just emerging, when the Xiangjiang team contacted mainland personnel, they found that the mainland filming work was very unprofessional. Of course, this is what the European and American teams had said long ago when they came into contact with Xiangjiang movies, because the mainland regards editing as a post-production of TV series and movies.

What about it in fact?

Not at all!

Editors should participate in the creation of each storyboard script, and select editing points, so that they should be the people in the storyboard script who have the most power to decide in which way a certain shot should be completed.

Shao Yingxiong, who understood this, did not copy the storyboard script when he created the original drama "Bright Sword". He found Wang Zhongjun and met a very talented person through Wang Zhongjun, who was Cheng Long.

Cheng Long was the winner of the Golden Rooster Award for Best Editing Award in 1998. The picture connection of "Red Lovers" was made by him. In the following years, this person even became Zhang Yimou's personal editor. However, Zhang Yimou only used his skills, not his aura. In other words, all Zhang Yimou's editing comes from his own inspiration, and Cheng Long is just a person who works.

After finding Cheng Long, Shao Yingxiong felt that he was full of wings. The meticulous point at the end of each storyboard made him feel very comfortable. The audience didn't even have to wait for the scenes to be changed on the TV through a brief black screen after a certain plot. Cheng Long was able to connect all the plots in the gentlest way. Even Cheng Long actually used the editing techniques that often appear in European and American blockbusters and Xiangjiang movies in TV dramas. Before that, there was absolutely no similar editing techniques in mainland China.

Shao Yingxiong learned a lot of editing things from Cheng Long. For example, showing a person's anger can be achieved by editing the fear of others in other shots, and for example, showing a tragic posthumous after death can be expressed through the scenes of other people's regretful roars and annoyed sadness.

After half a month of contact with Cheng Long, Shao Yingxiong made a decision, that is, Shao Yingxiong's studio must sign this person.

After signing Cheng Long, Shao Yingxiong found the best blast in the circle. "Bright Sword" blast is a big deal for production costs, so I can't relax at all.

With the assistance of Cheng Long and blasting experts, Shao Yingxiong made a complete, sophisticated and professional budget. It took the three of them a whole month for this job alone.

January passed, and Shao Yingxiong did not expect that he would be busier in the next February.

Du Liang began to appear frequently at Shao Yingxiong's home. The screenwriter wanted to improve the plot of cutting points for the storyboard script that was inappropriate; Niu Wa, who had the best relationship with Shao Yingxiong in "The Mansion", also came. This time his identity was not someone's assistant, but a photographer. He would decide the shooting method of editing the cutting points according to the storyboard script; the assistant director of "Conquer" also arrived, and he provided a lot of help for Shao Yingxiong to choose actors...

It can be said that Shao Yingxiong's connections for one and a half years have played a role. A budget of more than 40 pages is calculated in detail how to spend every amount of money. Everyone around Shao Yingxiong is adding steel bars, cement, and bricks to the frame he provides.

When the budget was delivered to Wang Zhongjun's desk and a storyboard script was attached, Wang Zhongjun was first shocked by the thickness of the budget paper. Then he seemed to see every expense after the crew was established, and he really saw it.

Wang Zhongjun swore that the budget he saw was definitely the most sophisticated, so precise that people who read the budget and storyboard scripts could directly come up with the shooting techniques for each shot.

Shao Yingxiong...

Shao Yingxiong...

This name appeared in Wang Zhongjun's mind many times, and each time it was enough to change his view of Shao Yingxiong.

After reading the budget, Wang Zhongjun once again saw the crew and actor list. In the staff list, the director was vacant; deputy director Zhao Mingyuan; producer Shao Yingxiong; camera Niu Wa; editing Cheng Long...

The cast list also contains a bunch of names that Wang Zhongjun is not very familiar with, including Li Yunlong-Shao Yingxiong, Zhao Gang-Wu Xiubo, Chu Yunfei-Yu Rongguang, Yang Xiuqin-Song Jia, Tian Yu-Che Xiao, Zhang Dabiao-Zhang??Jun⑽ Han Zhuo School? None of the crowd??p>Shao Yingxiong fulfilled his promise. Apart from himself, there was no front line in the crew, and Yu Rongguang audience was more familiar with them. As for Che Xiao, Song Jia, and Duan Yihong, even Wang Zhongjun was not very clear about them.

He was thinking now whether Shao Yingxiong really had some understanding of these actors or was just going to be a stubborn person in the cast and crew list!

Now, the only thing he has to do is to understand the entire crew clearly!!!
