I'm not just a director

Chapter 53

On Monday, Beijing New Screen Company.

Jiang Pei'an, who was on vacation for two weeks, came to the company.

But it seems like it didn't come.

The people in the film project team are basically floating outside, and they don't show up in the company much at all.

As an assistant to the assistant director of casting, Jiang Pei'an only reports on the work progress of the week during the meeting every week.

For the rest of the time, you can spend as much time as you want.

Even if you say you are going on a business trip abroad to cast actors, as long as the assistant director nods and agrees, you can travel at public expense after filling out the application form.

"came back."

Sitting in the conference room with a dark face, Xie Dong saw Jiang Pei'an coming in, and said.

"Hey, I have caused trouble for you, Director Xie, during this time."

Jiang Pei'an said apologetically after taking his seat.

When he went to Cannes, he asked for leave beforehand, and Xie Dong nodded in agreement with Jiang Pei'an's leave.

There were three assistant director assistants like Jiang Pei'an sitting in the room, basically assisting Xie Dong in casting.

There are four assistant directors in charge of casting, and there are many assistant directors under him.

Layers of classes, each performing its duties.

Don't think that the crew is a group of people carrying machines to shoot things, and the interior is chaotic.

Just like Jiang Pei'an's "Ghost Story" is a small gang of four, except for the director, everyone is equal.

In fact, the regular production crew is strictly hierarchical and strictly managed.

Needless to say, the director team, the leader of the entire crew is the most important figure in the creation process of the crew.

Producer group, responsible for organizing, arranging and managing personnel, coordinating the work of various departments.

Ensure that the shooting process is carried out in an orderly manner according to the predetermined plan.

Not to mention screenwriters, some domestic screenwriters are with the group, the soul, the basis of a play!
Next is the actors, camera crew, Deng Ye, art, clothing, chemical, and Taoist groups.

Editing team, sound effect team, soundtrack team and other positions...

The job content and responsibilities of each position are different, but all are an integral part of the entire crew.

Every position needs to recruit many assistants, such as little Karami like Jiang Pei'an.

If you encounter an anti-war film or an epic TV series.

In order to grab the progress, sometimes it will be divided into two crews, AB and AB, to start work at the same time.

So it's not surprising that a deputy director Xie Dong can have three or four assistants.

After all, Jiang Pei'an was in one of the top professional crews in China.

Of course, for the positions mentioned above, except for the casting director, everyone else has to wait until the team is established before joining the team...

Jiang Pei'an was curious about why Xie Dong had a dark face the whole time today.

Is it because I asked for leave?

"Knock knock."

Xie Dong knocked on the table, looked at the script in his hand, and said slowly:
"Have a meeting and report on your progress."

The rustling sound of flipping books was heard in the room, and Jiang Pei'an also pretended to open the book he was holding casually.

Open the cap of the pen and pretend to take notes, but in fact he is drawing a villain out of boredom.

He came here once when he joined the job, what progress can he report?

"This week, I went to the Chinese opera for a stay. There are indeed a few good seedlings, but their instructors are not allowed to accept the opera..."

"This week I went to stay at the entrance of Beijing Film Studio...they are all group performers, I don't know a few big characters, it doesn't feel right..."

"this week……"

The first three brothers finished their reports quickly, and each of them explained for two to three minutes.

But the harvest... nothing.

Jiang Pei'an was speechless, these people were deeply rooted in the essence of foreign work, and they talked a lot.

I said it, but I didn't seem to say it again.

In future generations, he will be a good hand in public examination!
When it was Jiang Pei'an's turn, Xie Dong waved his hand wearily and said:
"Xiao Jiang took another two weeks off just now, so you don't need to report."

Xie Dong sat upright, with a serious expression on his face, and said:

"Comrades, the current situation is very serious, although our film only has a few leading actors.

However, there are as many as [-] characters with lines and plots.

Everyone has heard about Director Zhang's grasp and pickiness of roles, but what about us now?
The casting work has been going on for a month, and it can be said that an inch of success has not been achieved. The other assistant directors have already found several actors.

Right now, Director Zhang is busy with the promotion of "My Father and Mother", waiting for him to turn around and look back.

Well, you old guys are still doing foreign work, so what's the use of us joining the group early? "

Xie Dong is about 40 years old, and his speech has the atmosphere of that era.

He continued earnestly:

"You were either arranged by the production director, or relatives of the producer, oh, and the nephew of the producer.

You all have connections and backgrounds, so you can't keep tossing me, an old guy, can you?do something! "

Good guy!Ganqing, the people sitting in this room are all related households.

No wonder the work has been so difficult.

Jiang Pei'an thought to himself:
It is estimated that Lao Mouzi did not intend to ask Xie Dong to do something to achieve results.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have stuffed all the related accounts into him.

Jiang Pei'an began to feel sorry for Xie Dong.

But after Jiang Pei'an thought about it, he seemed to be a related household too.

Came in through Gong Li's back door...

"Associate Director Xie, we also want to do something, but actors are hard to find."

A buddy cried bitterly.

A buddy next to Jiang Pei'an answered the conversation:
"You said that the other assistant directors are making fast progress, but they can't hold back because they have so many families.

There are only three of us, oh, and one of us took two weeks off work. He does nothing, attends meetings and draws villains. Why is he doing work? "

Swish!
Four pairs of eyes in the room looked directly at Jiang Pei'an.

Jiang Pei'an put away his pen and apologized:

"I'm sorry, Director Xie, I'm practicing sketching for storyboarding."

Damn, it’s boring to draw villains to pass the time, drawing storyboards is of use to you!

"Tsk, I'm so busy and so busy, buddy, if you're really bored, are you going to Nortel this week?"

"I also agree, the crew doesn't support idlers."

"Didn't the director draw the storyboard? Does it have anything to do with your little assistant?"

The other three said maliciously.

Jiang Pei'an frowned. This group of second-generation ancestors started throwing the blame away. A dead fellow Taoist would never die a poor monk, right?
Gong Dou is a good player, you guys shouldn't be on the set, how nice it is to enter the palace!
Generally speaking, even if there are dirty things in the crew, they won't put them on the table, out of their wits!

As a result, the group of second-generation ancestors directly diverted the trouble to the east, trying to divert Xie Dong's attention.

Just when the room was dead silent, a voice broke the atmosphere.

"What about the meeting?"

Everyone in the room immediately stood up:
"Director Zhang."

"Hi, Director Zhang."

Zhang Yimou stood at the door, looked around the room, and finally his eyes fell on Jiang Pei'an, and said with a smile:
"It just so happens that Pei'an is also here, so prepare to form a team and take the position of assistant director."

What?
The four people in the room thought they had heard wrong.

Pai An?Jiang Pei'an?Deputy director?

"Why?"

A second generation ancestor suddenly asked.

Several other people in the room also nodded, looking at Zhang Yi with doubts.

"Why?"

Lao Mouzi showed a standard simple and honest old farmer's smile:
"It won the Cannes Film Festival Grand Prix for his first film."

Lao Mouzi left in a hurry after announcing the matter.

The other three second generation ancestors looked shocked.

Xie Dong had a bitter face.

Grand Prize at the Cannes Film Festival!
Well, it's hard to find someone who can work, and it's gone!

"What is the Cannes Film Festival? Is it awesome?"

One of the second generation ancestors scratched his head and asked with a puzzled expression.

Xie Dong: "Fuck you!"
