Chapter 15 Naive and Silly Girl
In the winter morning in Beijing, there are few pedestrians and a thin mist fills the air. If more than ten years later, people would make a fuss about calling it haze, but at this time, everyone has already become accustomed to it.
Two vehicles drove out of the gate of Dahongju one after another. One was a tattered bread from the Beijing Film Studio. All the equipment used for filming was pulled on it. This van was really quite shabby, no exaggeration at all. And it was so open to the outside world.
Rental is almost the exclusive business of Beijing Film Studio. The price is very expensive. Maybe the annual rental fee, the purchase of these equipment, and the replacement of a brand new van are more than enough.
The other one is the bus. The outsourced buses of the Beijing Bus Company are much cheaper than those of the travel companies. The travel companies are busy attracting foreign guests to Badaling, and they can't think about earning soft money at the moment.
Therefore, to outsiders, this crew looks like office workers commuting by bus.
In the carriage, Rong Guang was introducing himself: "Dear friends, welcome to join the crew. My name is Rong Guang, the head of the crew. If you have any questions, you can come to me. Many of my friends are meeting for the first time. This is nothing.
I believe we will get to know each other soon. I won’t make a long speech here, and everyone won’t like to hear it. Let’s talk about what you want to hear first! Give me money!”
Amidst the laughter, Rong Guang looked around and found that the person he was most familiar with was Yuan Quan. So he ordered without saying anything: "Xiao Yuan, do me a favor. Each of you has a portion of the breakfast I brought."
"Hey!" Yuan Quan was not squeamish at all, and he obediently helped distribute the steamed buns and soy milk.
While Rong Guang was handing out money, he was familiarizing himself with the names on the list of signatures. After a while, he matched the names one by one.
Returning to his seat, Rong Guang smiled and nodded to Yuan Quan next to him: "Sorry to trouble you, there will be drama staff to do it tomorrow." He didn't realize that he actually forgot to pay Yuan Quan's share of the pay.
Yuan Quan didn't care much about taking it early and taking it late. She took a small bite of the meat bun and asked in a low voice: "Where should we go to shoot?"
"A factory that has stopped production in the suburbs. The drive takes about 40 minutes."
"Hmm...Hey, why don't there be many lines in this script? Why don't I understand it?"
"If you're not used to calling me Director Rong, you can call me Xiao Rong or Guangzi." Rong Guang smiled, "This script is mainly action scenes, and there are indeed few lines. Today and tomorrow will be the most important long shot.
Today is mainly used for rehearsal, and tomorrow we will officially shoot.”
"oh."
Rong Guang secretly laughed in his heart. It was half the script of the movie, and the other half was on the scrap film. Gu Liang, if you can understand? Unless a miracle happens.
"...Xiao Rong,..."
"Huh?" Seeing Yuan Quan suddenly hesitating, Rong Guang gave her a strange look.
"You...are you telling the truth? Will I really be second to Teacher Gong Li?" Yuan Quan has really mustered up all his courage. But her eyes were shining, and she was looking forward to Rong Guang's answer.
"Pfft." Rong Guang burst into laughter. He really couldn't hold it in anymore, and he didn't expect that Gu Liang would take it seriously, "Quanquan, you are more confident than me. Hahaha!"
Yuan Quan was stunned for a moment, and then she almost burst out of anger. Her pretty face turned red, and she felt ashamed and anxious. Gritting her teeth, Yuan Quan stared at Rong Guang with murderous eyes. This bad guy actually dared to lie to me.
On a pirate ship?
"This movie isn't really a bad movie, is it?"
"I'm more worried about this than you are. Haha."
Seeing Rong Guang smiling so hard that he deserved to be beaten, Yuan Quan was so filled with hatred that he wanted to pounce on him and take a few bites. She turned her head, not wanting to see Rong Guang's disgusting face again.
The giant fork beat him up, it’s so hateful——!
…
To be honest, Rong Guang is really not in the mood to tease this innocent and silly girl next to him. As long as it involves work on the set, he has always been very serious.
But Rong Guang also knew that he had offended her hard just now. It didn't matter anyway. As long as the film could be completed smoothly, Yuan Quan could just draw a circle and curse herself. In this regard, Rong Guang still believed in her professionalism.
During this period, the roads in Beijing were not congested. After a little over 40 minutes, the entire crew arrived at a suburban factory.
"Brother driver, the car has stopped in front of that warehouse." Rong Guang jumped out of the car first and directed, "Where is Xiao Yang?"
"I'm here." A girl with small eyes ran up to Rong Guang. Her name is Yang Sa. She graduated from the management department of Nortel and is also a member of the Beipiao dream family. This time she served as the scene recorder and stage manager. According to the rules of the crew, from
From now on, she will be Rong Guang's follower.
"Xiao Yang, send a cigarette to the guard. The driver will give you two packs of cigarettes every day, and I will give them the red envelope at the end. You should keep these cigarettes. There are also two boxes of pure water in the car. The crew will have one pack of cigarettes every day.
But it can only be smoked in the rest area. Turn right after exiting the gate. There is a small restaurant at the intersection. I have agreed to make lunch with them. You can go over and contact them today. From now on, you have to arrive early every morning. At the entrance of the alley next to Dahongju,
I have also contacted the shop that makes steamed buns and steamed buns. I will bring purified water every day. You can take the five hundred yuan first. We will count the number of people every day. If it is not enough, ask me again."
"I understand, Director Rong." Yang Sa nodded seriously, with a respectful attitude, at least on the surface.
Therefore, the first impression I made on Rongguang was quite good. It’s not about falling in love, it requires sincerity. At work, superficial respect is enough. How can I look like some innocent and silly girl who is still rolling her eyes at me.
In fact, in the work of the crew, the more detailed the preliminary preparations, the smoother the filming. But this time, Rong Guang could only keep everything simple, and even the scene notes and script management were not separated, and finally they were assigned to one person.
…
If you have watched live shooting, you should know that the shooting footage is actually quite boring. However, after editing, it turns into various types of movies. This process is like magic. This is the amazing thing about movies.
.That is also the reason why newcomers to the film industry fly into the flames in droves in pursuit of their dreams.
Throughout the morning, all the actors were rehearsing the long-shot action designed by Rong Guang. There was not a single line in it, only the new heroine (played by Yuan Quan) screamed that she had "no acting skills".
First, break down the movements to practice and become proficient, and then complete the whole thing in one go. The other two cameramen and sound recordists also need to join in. They also need to be familiar with the movements and must not make mistakes during these twelve minutes.
But even so, it was still very difficult. It was not until before the lunch break that everyone barely completed the first pass.
Chapter completed!
