Chapter 30 Deputy Director

The rain falling outside, fell on the ground and splashed dust, and the sky and the earth were foggy.

"The Jimen Bridge is here, has anyone gotten off?"

Following the conductor's shout, Fang Nan shrank his head and got off the bus. After identifying the direction, he went straight to Xijiu Road.

He went out in the rain this time, and was really anxious to wait for the news at the hotel, so he went to the Copyright Bureau with a few songs he had written to see if he could register the copyright of the songs first.

After entering the building and asking at the window, Fang Nan realized that this matter was very simple.

Find the staff to take the form, provide photos, register the lyrics or other things to be registered, and then pay the fee, and the rest will be notified.

The only troublesome part of the whole process is to briefly write down why the lyrics were written and under what circumstances they were written, which is similar to how to prove that your mother is your mother.

This is nothing to Fang Nan. For a person with rich life experience, bragging is nothing.

"That's it?" Fang Nan asked the staff who helped him with the formalities when everything was in order.

"Okay, go back and wait for the notice."

"How long will there be a notice?" Fang Nan asked again.

He has no choice but to be cautious, these songs are his greatest protection, one day the film and television industry can no longer continue, he will have to rely on these songs to live.

The patent fees for these songs made him lie at home for a year, and tens of millions were like playing.

The staff got impatient and tossed the bill: "30 days."

Fang Nan wanted to ask again if the copyright was linked to the international, but there was a "beep" sound from his pocket.

"Huang Weiming? What's the matter?" Fang Nan muttered and walked out.

As for whether it is linked to the international or not, you can check it online later.

"Hey, Nan Tsai, where did you go to the Yitian crew?" After Fang Nan found a phone and called Huang Weiming, Huang Weiming asked.

Fang Nan said, "Yes, Director Lai called you?"

Lai Qingshui and Huang Weiming are both from Xiangjiang, and both came from working behind the scenes of TVB. It is not surprising to know each other. Fang Nan thought of this when he mentioned Huang Weiming.

"Yes, I praised you solidly. You want to treat me to a big meal in the future. But his Wu appointed Ma Yucheng. Ma Yucheng is Chen Xiaodong's apprentice. If you can't compete, the assistant director should not question."

What Huang Weiming said made Fang Nan a little excited. If it was true, his step was too big.

He originally planned to become a real martial arts assistant. The martial arts assistant in a hit drama is very good. If you are lucky, it will be no problem to be promoted to martial arts assistant in three or five dramas.

But I didn't expect to jump directly to the assistant director.

Although there are many kinds of assistant directors, those who are in charge of the chores of the crew, those who are in charge of specific shooting, and those who are in charge of equipment and equipment, but no matter which one is, it is also an assistant director, and it is different when it comes out.

The most important thing is to become an assistant director, which means that you know all the affairs of the crew and know everything. When the opportunity comes, it is not impossible to jump to the director's position.

An assistant director does not have such a complicated promotion path as assistant-action director-action director-director.

After promising Huang Weiming to treat him to a big meal in the future, Fang Nan hung up the phone, then picked up the phone and called Zeng Li, only after asking did he find out that she had already arrived in Pujiang.

"Male Talent and Female Appearance" has already started filming in Pujiang.

Thinking of "Male Talents and Female Appearance", Fang Nan still resented himself a little, the reason is that he didn't remember the episode of this drama earlier.

On the bus back, Fang Nan became very anxious, and took out the BB machine to look left and right from time to time. He almost wiped off a layer of black paint, but the BB machine was so cheap that it didn't make any noise.

It wasn't until he finished taking a shower in the small hotel that the BB machine outside was about to beep a few times.

Wrapped in a bath towel, he went out of the bathroom. Fang Nan picked it up and looked at it, his heart was in his stomach.

Although the information on the BB machine did not specify the position, but let him come over to talk about it tomorrow, which means there is something to say.

The next day.

Fang Nan walked to the Four Seasons Hotel in the bitterly cold drizzle. This time, there was no security guard to stop him, and he easily went to the conference room on the third floor.

"Come on, come here, let me introduce these people to you."

After Fang Nan knocked on the door, Lai Qingshui waved to him.

"Produced by Bian Xiaojun and Zhang Zhang."

"Produced by Han Junfeng and Liu Dehong." Then came photography and lighting.
Lai Qingshui introduced one by one, Fang Nan shook hands one by one, and shook hands with more than 20 people along the way.

Not to mention anything else, just from the number of people behind the scenes and the number of people in each important position, Fang Nan can also see that whether it is the producer or Lai Qingshui, they all have great ambitions for this "Yi Tian Tu Long Ji".

"This is the director of Ma Yucheng, the martial arts director of "Yi Tian"."

After Lai Qingshui introduced Ma Yucheng and returned to his seat, Fang Nan hurriedly extended his hand.

He may not know Ma Yucheng, but he has to know Chen Xiaodong, that is a martial finger who has made great use of Wia. As a colleague, Fang Nan respects Chen Xiaodong more.

"Let me tell you something. This is Fang Nan. He worked as an on-set manager and worked as an assistant for Huang Weiming in the first play."

"Lighting photography and so on, what I said is clear and logical."

"What I mean is that he was transferred to Director Ma as an assistant director. There are too many action scenes in this movie, and there is only one person in Wu Zhi. Fang Nan can also reduce the pressure on Director Ma in the past."

After Lai Qingshui finished speaking, the woman who brought Fang Nan in last time immediately spoke again in Mandarin.

This film is a co-production between the mainland and Taiwan. The producers are from the mainland and Taiwan, and the director is from Xiangjiang.
Even speaking had to be translated.

Fortunately, Fang Nan was very talented in language, and even took advantage of the differences in the accents of the people in the room to seat more than 20 people in the room.

But these people are big bosses, they are not idle and don't go to the crew easily, and the only ones who really have to deal with are Ma Yucheng, who is behind the scenes, and the stars who didn't show up today.

With the director on his shoulders, Fang Nan's position as assistant director was quickly settled.

The specific responsibilities are also very clear. To solve all the difficulties of Ma Yucheng's filming, it is probably to build bridges when encountering mountains and rivers. To put it simply, he is the assistant director who takes care of chores.

There are three assistant directors in the crew of "Yitian" plus Fang Nan.

Lai Qingshui can't control this matter even if he wants to. The representatives of the two production companies muttered for a while, and paid Fang Nan 3000 a month. .

3000 a month is quite a lot. These days, the monthly salary of ordinary workers is only a few hundred yuan. Fang Nan agreed without thinking too much. He only hoped that the movie would be filmed for half a year, so that he could save some money.

After the matter was settled, the staff led Fang Nan to the room. As an assistant director, his accommodation was not bad. There was a double room at the back of the corridor on the 4th floor. The same room was also an assistant director named Zhang De, in his 30s. 40 years old like this.

Finding that Fang Nan could understand Cantonese, he could speak it, Zhang Dete was very happy, and while shouting that he would not be lonely at night, he handed Fang Nan a cigarette.

The two sat opposite each other and smoked a cigarette. Fang Nan got up and said that he was going back to the small hotel to carry his pockets.

Two or three steps to the door, Fang Nan just pushed the door open, and saw a woman pushing a bulging luggage bag into the opposite room with her buttocks pouted, her long straight black hair hanging down like a waterfall.

"Let me carry it for you, you can easily damage the bottom of the bag." Fang Nan avoided the round mouth and said.

"Ah, thank you." The woman stood up and turned her head, and said in a Weng voice as if her nose was blocked.
