Rebirth of the courtyard, the start is 80s

Chapter 421 Is your Red Light Film Factory reliable?
The so-called completion of filming here is actually commonly known as finalization, which means that the filming of the actors' performances is completed, but it does not mean that the film is completed.

Because there will be post-production work such as editing, dubbing, and soundtracking, and only when these tasks are completed and the film can be officially applied for release can it be considered truly completed.

But in terms of post-production, you don’t need too many people, because Cao Zhiqiang decided long ago that in post-production, at most, you should find someone to dub the voice. Most of the other post-production work, such as image rendering, special effects enhancement, and soundtrack All other work is done independently.

Therefore, after the shooting is finished, for the film crew members who came to participate in the shooting, they can basically finish their work and go home.

In fact, most of these people are teachers, students, and academic staff from Nortel. The main purpose of coming to shoot this time is to make extra money during the holidays, and they don't have too many other ideas.

Everyone is very happy to be able to finish successfully before school starts now.

After all, this shooting went very smoothly, especially Cao Zhiqiang was very generous. He gave a lot of travel expenses, meal allowances, allowances and so on. It has been a long time since everyone has shot such a rich film, so many people are a little bit embarrassed, even a little displeased. Abandon.

But no matter how reluctant you are, the end is the end, and you still have to leave after all.

In order to express his gratitude and celebration, after the filming finished, Cao Zhiqiang specially invited a few cooks from the big hotel, and held a wrap-up banquet at the shooting location. He invited all the people involved in the filming to eat, and it was a good get-together and break-up.

Before the official meeting, it is customary for Cao Zhiqiang, who is also the producer, director, screenwriter and lead actor, to give a speech to everyone first, which is also a common practice.

Amidst the warm applause, Cao Zhiqiang got up and walked to the host's position, and took the microphone from Xu Qingdong, who was temporarily acting as the master of ceremonies.

After taking over the microphone, Cao Zhiqiang tapped the microphone first, which was a sound test.

After realizing that there was no problem with the microphone, Cao Zhiqiang smiled and said: "Everyone, I don't think there is a need for the usual self-introduction.

After all, we are all our own people here, and we have spent so much time together these days, if you still don't know who I am, then it's too unreasonable, right? "

After a burst of laughter, Cao Zhiqiang laughed again: "I know everyone hates long speeches, so I'll make a long story short.

First of all, thank you, thank you for your help this time.Without your hard work and help, I am afraid that the filming of this film could not be completed so smoothly.

The second is appreciation. I appreciate everyone's professionalism and professional ability, which allows me to see how professionals create brilliance.

Finally, and most importantly, there is hope! "

Speaking of this, Cao Zhiqiang paused for a while, and then continued: "I think everyone knows that our Hongguang Film Factory is a new factory that has just been established. At present, except for a signboard and the director of the factory, there is almost nothing. nothing.

For a film studio like this with almost nothing, it is inseparable from everyone's help that we can successfully shoot the first feature film of our factory.

Without you, I'm just a poor commander, and I can't do anything.

Therefore, I want to take advantage of this wrap-up banquet to quickly get to know everyone, and hope that we can have more cooperation in the future. "

At this moment, a young man wearing sunglasses, a lighting engineer named Liu Mo, laughed and shouted:

"Don't worry boss, the salary you pay is so much, the food and lodging are good, there is even a high temperature subsidy, enough soda water pipes every day, I have never made such a rich film in my life, if your factory wants to make a film next time, remember Let me know in advance, I will definitely come!"

As soon as the young man started, the others responded one after another, joking and saying that they would come again next time and remember to notify.

Also, these days, domestic film studios are not friendly to photographers because they are all state-owned enterprises.

That is to say, directors and leading actors are a little bit better. Others, such as supporting actors, members of the lighting team, and members in charge of serving Huadao, etc., have much lower income.

Not only is the income low, but the general treatment of film crew members is also low.

For example, the most basic meal. During the filming period of many film crews, the meals of the film crew are generally steamed buns, pickles, and boiled water.

That is to say, for the leading actors and directors, if they can occasionally cook a small meal, and occasionally eat meat once or twice, this is usually paid out of their own pockets.

It can be said that among the major film studios in China, one counts as the other. Except for Bayi Film, which is slightly better, other film studios are quite stingy when it comes to treating ordinary staff, especially food expenses, which are quite stingy.

Cao Zhiqiang is different here.

Although he, like other film studios, implements the policy of treating food expenses equally, that is, members of the photography team have the same food regardless of the size of their positions and the nature of their work.

But the food standard set by Cao Zhiqiang is high!
Cao Zhiqiang set the food standard for everyone, which is the standard four dishes and one soup, and rice and steamed buns are optional, if you want to eat rice, you can eat rice, if you want to eat steamed buns, you can eat steamed buns.

In order to let everyone feel more at ease during the filming, the meals during the filming are all prepared in advance in the large cafeteria of Yuhong Machinery Factory, and then transported to the filming location by a large truck.

There are also tableware and gas tanks on the truck, which can be heated on the spot, so that everyone can have a hot meal.

At the same time, if the weather is hot, popsicles will be given out to everyone, which is regarded as a high temperature subsidy.

In addition, a truckload of soda is brought over every day, and everyone can drink soda as they please, unlimited.

A filming unit with such a good food supply has never been encountered before.

Not only that, Cao Zhiqiang's salary for everyone is several times higher than that of the outside world.

For example, the lighting engineer, Cao Zhiqiang’s salary is ten yuan a day, which is simply the price of an ordinary leading actor.

You know, for ordinary lighting engineers in other production groups, such as Beijing Film Studio, fifty cents a day is not bad.

But here, Cao Zhiqiang directly doubled it by twenty times!
It is almost unheard of for a lighting engineer to be paid ten yuan a day.

In fact, in Cao Zhiqiang's view, the money given to the lighting engineer is not too much, but less.

You know, for a crew, especially for actors, the role of lighting engineers is too great.

Because the light is the best concealer, if the light is good, you can get a beautiful effect.

On the contrary, if the lighting is not good, the people will be very ugly, and the atmosphere will be completely changed.

So lighting engineers are really important, even in Hong Kong and Taiwan areas, most of them are called Lord of Lights.

It is only in the mainland, and currently they don't care too much about lighting engineers, after all, the national conditions are different.

There are also members of the props group who are in charge of serving Huadao. Among them, the assistant with the lowest salary is five yuan a day, and the highest can be ten yuan a day.

In other words, the people who come here to film, even the ones who get the least money, still have five yuan a day. If this income is in other crews, it can be comparable to the income of ordinary leading actors.

So how much do actors earn?
The male and female protagonists like Cao Zhiqiang and Zhu Lin are paid a fixed salary of 30 yuan per day, which is the price within eight hours a day. If the shooting time exceeds eight hours, overtime pay is calculated, and the overtime pay is five yuan per hour.

Supporting child actors such as Yu Feihong and Qiao Simi, who have a lot of roles, are paid a fixed salary of 15 yuan per day, and the overtime pay is also calculated as more than eight hours, and the overtime pay is [-] yuan per hour.

Other adult supporting roles such as Cui Xinqin and Ma Yingbo are paid a fixed salary of [-] yuan per day, and overtime pay is calculated for over eight hours, and the overtime pay is [-] yuan per hour.

As for other extras, the money will be calculated according to the number of filming sessions.

Here I would like to say that during the filming process, many people have multiple roles. For example, many members of the prop team will play a part-time role on a part-time basis, and sometimes the supporting actors will also do some logistics part-time when they are not on the scene, such as helping people. Get a soda or something.

That is to say, during the filming process, everyone did not try to be lazy, they were all looking for work on their own, and they were very motivated.

Cao Zhiqiang secretly asked Xu Qingdong before, saying that this is not common in other crews.

Xu Qingdong has also heard of this kind of scene of looking for work by himself, but he has never seen it.

However, the reason can probably be guessed, it is nothing more than that Cao Zhiqiang gave too much, and he felt sorry for not doing more work, and the money was too hot.

This made Cao Zhiqiang very embarrassed, thinking that people in this era are simple and simple.

Unfortunately, it is about this time.

After a while, after the economic tide floods the entire country, everyone will start to look at money. I am afraid that this classic scene of finding things to do by yourself will never happen again.

Soon, after everyone laughed and booed, they gradually calmed down again.

At this time, Cao Zhiqiang continued to hold the microphone and said: "Don't worry, everyone has cooperated so happily, and we will never forget you when we shoot new movies in our factory."

"Will there still be this treatment?" Liu Mo, the young lighting engineer who responded first, asked loudly.

"Only high but not low!" Cao Zhiqiang said.

"That's no problem!" That Liu Mo immediately said loudly, "Give me a call when the time comes, and I'll appoint you!"

After a pause, that Liu Mo asked again: "By the way, is your film studio recruiting people? Can I work in your factory?"

"Of course." Cao Zhiqiang turned to Liu Mo and said, "Our film studio has just been established, and there is a shortage of people everywhere. If a talent like you is really willing to come, I can only wish for it!"

"Then I'm really here." Liu Mo said.

But soon, someone next to him said: "Heigou, you are almost done, you are going, you don't want the establishment of the youth factory?"

"No more!" Liu Mo said, "It's just that shabby youth factory, it says it has an establishment, but now what are the three melons and two dates that are distributed every month enough? I can't even support myself. Boss? I want to earn more money to marry a wife!"

Immediately afterwards, Liu Mo asked Cao Zhiqiang again: "Director Cao, no, Director Cao, if I go to your place, how much salary can I give?"

Cao Zhiqiang was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "If you are willing to come, I am the judge. If there is no filming, your monthly fixed salary is 50 yuan. If there is a filming, under normal circumstances, you will follow the pattern of this filming." , and the daily salary for filming does not conflict with your basic salary."

"Really?" Liu Mo's eyes widened immediately, "Are you serious? A fixed salary of [-] per month. If you want to use me for filming, you can pay me according to the standard of this film?"

"Of course it is true." Cao Zhiqiang nodded.

Upon hearing this, the scene immediately coaxed, and everyone began to whisper.

Without him, if what Cao Zhiqiang said is true, then this treatment would be great.

You must know that the income of crew members in ordinary film studios is actually very low at this time.

For example, Liu Mo, who works in the Nortel Youth Film Studio, is considered well-established, but even so, when there is no filming, he can only get a fixed salary of 20 yuan a month.

20 yuan, what is enough for these days, especially in the capital.

Even if there is a filming, the income of a lighting engineer like Liu Mo is not high. During the filming period, it is not bad to have one yuan or eighty cents a day.

It's good for Cao Zhiqiang here. If Liu Mo goes there and doesn't film, the fixed salary will be 50 yuan, which is comparable to that of a big director.

If filming, according to the standards of this film, it is a subsidy of ten yuan a day, so the income is too high.

Older people may pay more attention to the establishment, but for young people, money is the most important thing.

Therefore, Liu Mo was really tempted.

Not to mention Liu Mo was tempted, many people were tempted.

It's a pity that everyone still seeks stability after all. After all, most of them still have doubts about a newly established Hongguang Film Studio.

After all, although the remuneration is good, if the factory is not strong enough and it will be ruined soon, no matter how good the remuneration is, it will be a empty promise.

Obviously, Liu Mo also had concerns about this, so he asked directly: "Director Cao, is your Red Light Film Factory reliable?"

Cao Zhiqiang was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed loudly: "You are asking the right person, after all, I am the director of the factory, hahaha!
Now that you asked me, I'll tell you the truth.

In fact, our Hongguang Film Studio, if we talk about qualifications, it is definitely not good, but if we talk about strength, we really have never been afraid of anyone. "

Immediately afterwards, Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly and said, "How is your strength? Well, I think our photographer Fu has the most say."

After finishing speaking, Cao Zhiqiang turned his head, found a photographer and said, "Come on, Master Song, tell everyone, how many cameras we used for this shoot, what is the brand of the cameras, how good are they, and how much are they worth?"

The middle-aged photographer named by Cao Zhiqiang frowned, stood up and said, "Well, we used a total of six cameras for this shoot, all of which are brand new Panavision cameras from the United States.

This kind of camera is quite expensive, and it is generally used mostly in Hollywood, and less used in other places.

As for our country, as far as I know, none of us use this kind of camera in the whole country, and I have only heard of the brand of Panavision, but when it comes to using it, it is the first time to use it here.

Needless to say, this American product is really easy to use, much easier to use than the West German Alaike.

Not only that, but the photography accessories we used this time, especially the various lenses, are quite complete.

What kind of tripod, pulley block, wide-angle lens, long-range lens, soft light filter, etc., are all here, all of which are unimaginable.

It can be said that the combined value of these six cameras and related accessories is immeasurable.

It would be fine if these cameras were rented, but the value would be hard to say if they were bought.

If you have to insist, these instruments add up to at least tens of millions... US dollars! "
