I'm not just a director

Chapter 17 Start!

After returning to the small town, Jiang Pei'an went to work while waiting for news from Qi Yuefei.

The second folk ditty "Old Bachelor Begging for a Wife" officially started filming.

The leading actors are still Li Shouguo and Wang Hong, but the cast is unprecedentedly strong.

Cameraman, Wang Xingxing!
Since Jiang Pei'an came back from the capital, Wang Xingxing was really surprised by the style of pumping Zhonghua with his left hand and Motorola with his right hand.

"Your boy went to the capital and became squeamish. What's the matter, he was taken care of by a rich woman in the capital?"

Wang Xingxing played with Jiang Pei'an's Motorola, which was the latest model in the county seat and hadn't been shipped yet.

"You are an upstart, and I eat soft rice, so don't talk about each other."

Jiang Pei'an said with a smile.

"Really?"

"Fake! How can there be so many rich women in the world?"

Jiang Pei'an rolled his eyes at him, and briefly outlined what he had done during this time.

Of course, nothing was said about selling songs and getting to know Gao Yuanyuan.

The other party didn't believe it.

"No wonder you ran away to the capital without saying a word. Is there still a shortage of people for that folk song you mentioned?"

"You want to come?"

"As for the camera, I still have some ideas. Don't forget who lent you the DV you use."

Jiang Pei'an nodded. Wang Xingxing had accumulated some experience in shooting weddings before.

With a little training by myself, I added some knowledge about storytelling and scenery to him, and it was enough to shoot folk tunes.

Director, Zhao Fusheng.

This is the position that Jiang Pei'an promised him before.

Jiang Pei'an will not be withdrawn from folk tunes all at once.

He continued to participate as a producer, leading this group of novices by the way.

In addition, there are some group performances and some stage affairs, basically all actors from the Bang Opera Troupe of Jiangtai Town.

The actors of this part of the Bangju Troupe were all brought over by the head of the troupe, Zhao Fusheng.

They did not choose to go out to work, basically they all performed at home while farming, and also took care of the elderly and children.

In the past few years, the situation of the Bangju Troupe has taken a turn for the worse, and there are only a few performances a year.

Why don't you come to Jiang Pei'an, a folk ditty crew, to earn some extra money.

For these people, Jiang Pei'an never refused to come, anyway, he didn't spend a lot of money.

When the first disc of folk ditties is released, everyone will see the benefits and stabilize the morale of the army.

Jiang Pei'an is planning to open a performing arts company, usually in charge of performing and filming folk songs.

After a performance, take orders and distribute actors in the name of the company.

That is to say, the Zhenbang Opera Troupe was incorporated.

Don't underestimate this kind of folk performing arts company.

After 2000, people's material living standards improved, and the demand for spiritual culture increased day by day.

The form of stage performance just caters to their preferences.

Whether it's weddings, weddings, opening ceremonies, or various celebrations, groups such as wind singing groups and stage performances will be invited to be lively.

Like the famous "Liaodong Folk Art Troupe" in later generations, didn't it start from the duo of Liu Laogen on the big stage.

Later generations once became a giant-level cultural industry group in the three eastern provinces.

Of course, this does not rule out that Uncle Benshan's personal influence is superimposed on the company.

It is foreseeable that Jiang Pei'an's performing arts company has many folk minor actors joining, and the influence is only high but not low.

Those famous folk ditty actors in later generations just sell live broadcasts on short video platforms every day, and their lives are quite nourishing.

This is influence!

Of course, this is a story.

What Jiang Pei'an needs to solve the most right now is the shooting of this large group of people.

The actors are easy to say, they are all veteran actors with stage experience.

Folk tunes don't require acting skills, just exaggeration.

They only need a slight shift in thinking to get started.

However, the operation and scheduling of the crew is quite tricky.

With the running-in of the folk tune "Old Bachelor Begging for a Wife".

This situation will be much better when we shoot the second and third parts!

……

"Don't let the field worker be in the camera, am I filming you or the actor? Let's go back a little bit!"

"That, that record... Uncle Wu, run away after you hit the board, don't be stupid... don't stand still!"

"Whoever took away the red bitter tea hanging on the back, this is the breath of life, you won't feel it if you take it away, hang it up quickly!"

Wang Xingxing took the DV and sparred at the set.

Director Zhao Fusheng stood by and grinned.

Seeing Zhao Fusheng like this, Jiang Pei'an shook his head and said:

"Head Zhao, do you think what Wang Xingxing just said is right?"

Zhao Fusheng nodded and said:
"It's very good. You young people know more about how to make movies. I'll just do a good job for you."

Jiang Pei'an pointed in the direction of Wang Xingxing and said:

"On the set, there is only one person giving orders, and that is the director!

As a cameraman, Wang Xingxing is only responsible for the screen, and he only needs to shoot the shots the director wants.

But you are different, you have to control the whole audience, actors appearing on camera and props are arranged according to your ideas.

You are engaged in services, why do you want me as a producer? "

Jiang Pei'an, the producer, directly did all the work of overall planning, daily life, and outreach production.

Zhao Fusheng looked bitter and said:
"Then I don't understand these things, and I don't know what picture I want."

Hearing this, Jiang Pei'an said patiently:
"Then you should watch more, watch more discs in private, and watch other people's pictures.

Ask more, you can ask me and Wang Xingxing, if you don’t understand, just ask.

In addition, you need to think more, when watching the film, think about why the picture is shot like this.

When reading the script, think more about the storyboard script I wrote for you.

Combined with the shooting of the next scene, think about why the sub-shots are drawn like this. "

In the previous life, Jiang Pei'an started his career as a wild road.

When I first joined the film crew, I was also confused, and after a scene was finished, I also had a concept of filming in my heart.

Therefore, he especially understood Zhao Fusheng's current situation.

"All you have to do now is stare at the DV screen in Wang Xingxing's hand, and ignore everything else."

Finally, Jiang Pei'an made a concluding statement.

Is it difficult to let an old comrade in his 50s be the director?
difficult!
Zhao Fusheng is more suitable to be a life producer, which is what he calls serving everyone.

But Jiang Pei'an has no one in his hands now, so he can only let Zhao Fusheng, who has experience and prestige in leading a group, be the director.

After the company is established, see if there are any talented directors in the company, and if it doesn't work, go to a professional school to recruit.

……

The crew will not arrange too complicated scenes on the first day of work.

The actors need to adjust, the crew needs to adjust, and the actors and the crew also need to adjust.

So after filming the first three scenes, Jiang Pei'an directly announced the end of work.

"Ding."

SMS is here.

It is estimated to be Gao Yuanyuan.

The two exchanged occasional text messages.

Jiang Pei'an also knew that as long as he didn't record "I Remember" to her for a day, she would never let her go.

This girl does have an obsession with not seeing rabbits or hawks.

But now that she is so busy, how can she have time to record songs to please her.

When Jiang Pei'an opened the text message on his mobile phone, he found that it was from Qi Yuefei:

Two days later, I was a guest at Xinyang City Radio Station to promote folk tunes.

Jiang Pei'an, who was slapped in the face, replied to the text message while muttering:

"Who is a serious person who sends text messages..."

　Brothers, remember to invest, and ask for votes!
