my movie years

Chapter 11 The Story of Bole (please recommend, please collect~)

"Lighting team, lighting team, your lighting is too bright, please dim it down." Zhang Hao saw the scene was too brightly lit through the camera screen, so he raised a horn and shouted at the lighting team.

In 2008, the world-shocking "Avatar" was still in production, digital cameras were not yet mainstream, and film cameras were still the main method of filming.

The sensitivity of film to light sources is very high, and the resolution is also high, so the requirements for lighting effects are very strict.

It can be said that the reason why "Manslaughter" requires a production cost of 1500 million is that film is one of the big expenses.

Zhang Hao is not a fledgling Xiaobai, so this problem can be seen naturally. If something is wrong, he reprimands the lighting team.

The boss of the lighting team is a middle-aged man who has been in the industry for more than [-] years. He has become the boss of the lighting team and thinks that he is a professional. What does a young Zhang Hao know?

So he retorted: "But the director, I think the lighting effect is very good, the picture effect is good."

"Are you the director?" Zhang Hao asked back.

"No..." The middle-aged man was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head.

"Isn't it why you care so much? Do you need me to teach you how to do it?" Zhang Hao reprimanded the middle-aged man without being polite.

The middle-aged man's face froze, he was scolded by a young director, and he was about to talk back, but the deputy head of the lighting team hurriedly stopped him: "What are you doing, don't be silly, do what the director says."

Only then did the middle-aged man come to his senses. Because of Zhang Hao's age, he ignored that Zhang Hao was the director of the crew and held the most power in the crew.

Although Zhang Hao was a bit embarrassed by his confrontation with the director just now, after the news got out, which crew would dare to join his team?

Not to mention, Zhang Hao holds the salary of their lighting team in his hand, if he finds an excuse to delay the payment for a year or two, he has nothing to do.

He wanted to apologize, but the middle-aged man couldn't bear it, so he could only retreat silently and adjust the lights.

Zhang Hao looked at the back of the middle-aged man coldly, turned his head to see that other crew members were watching the show, and shouted with a loudspeaker: "What are you doing? I'm spending money to invite you to watch the fun? Don't work fast ?”

The crew kept silent, and hurried to work, keeping an eye on their noses, noses, noses, and hearts.

No matter what others say, it's the director, and it's not something a small person like them can afford to offend.

I came to Thailand to shoot for almost half a month. At the beginning, I was in the running-in period, and the shooting was not smooth.

In addition, the assistant director Cui Lihui often argued with Zhang Hao on the set, which made Zhang Hao, who had no prestige at all, lose his authority in the eyes of the crew.

The result of this is that the crew is working hard, and when a monk hits the clock for a day, the effect of doing things is not satisfactory, so that the crew stumbles when filming.

Zhang Hao is very aware of the mental state of the crew, but he doesn't hold illusions, thinking that he can use his own ability to conquer the hearts of the crew.

The most difficult thing for people to break is their own prejudices.

So he adopted the simplest and most direct way: money, and a contract.

As long as the producer Liu Hao does not object to the entire crew, he is the biggest and holds the most power.

Zhang Hao can't decide the life and death of the crew, but he can decide how much money they can get and whether they can continue in this industry.

You know, no director likes a crew member who contradicts himself at any time, and then backs him up.

You are not a producer, nor an investor, nor a first-line star starring, nor a trusted confidant of the director, so why would you dare to challenge the director.

In this way, after more than half a month of running-in, the crew is getting better and better, and the shooting is on track.

Although the assistant director Cui Lihui came out to contradict Zhang Hao from time to time, it was harmless.Most of the crew worked honestly under the constraints of the work contract.

After all, no one would be troubled by money, not even a child.

Yu Feihong looked curiously at Zhang Hao's skillful dispatching scene. This was the first time she had seen such a young director.

When I first came here, I was really skeptical about Zhang Hao, and I took this drama because I didn't have any dramas recently, so I came here with the idea of ​​making a fortune.

However, after more than half a month of filming, Yu Feihong had a little interest in Zhang Hao.Young and mature, this may be the most suitable idiom to describe Zhang Hao.

After the initial break-in, Zhang Hao led the crew to quickly enter the state, the filming got better and better, and the progress became faster and faster. Yu Feihong actually came up with an absurd idea that this movie might be successful.

"Director, I can't understand the script." After Zhang Hao finished scheduling the scene, Yu Feihong rolled his eyes and went up to ask Zhang Hao with the script.

"What don't you understand?" Zhang Hao sat down and sipped his tea and asked.

"Why did Li Weijie turn himself in in the end?"

Zhang Hao shrugged and said: "If you don't turn yourself in, I'm afraid the scissors won't give us the leading logo. Regardless of good people or bad people, if you do something wrong, you must be responsible. This is the mainstream value recognized by the society."

"But, I watched a lot of Hollywood movies, and there are quite a few people who get away with it!" Feihong Yu pretended to be puzzled, like a noob.

Guo Tao also participated as the male protagonist: "So it's a Hollywood film, and we are a Chinese film, of course it's different."

Zhang Hao didn't dwell on this issue, and turned to his assistant Tang Qianqian: "Is the little actor here?"

"On the way, I'll be there soon." Tang Qianqian replied

"Let her hurry up, the whole crew is waiting for her."

As soon as Zhang Hao finished speaking, a middle-aged beautiful woman arrived holding a little girl's hand, and shouted, "I'm sorry, director, Mai Mai is a little bit angry, causing trouble for the crew."

"Remember to come earlier next time." Zhang Hao didn't make things difficult, child actors are always the most difficult to deal with, unlike adult actors, even Guo Tao was scolded several times by him.

"OK, the actors are all here, put makeup on the young actors, and we will start filming immediately." Zhang Hao ordered the crew to get ready.

The young actor Mai Mai was dragged into the dressing room to put on makeup, while Guo Tao, Yu Feihong and Li Qin, who played the eldest daughter Ping Ping, played against each other. This was a simple family scene, not too difficult.

Li Qin's role as Pingping still has a story to tell. She just finished filming "Dream of Red Mansions".

Although Zhang Hao complained about the third master's behavior of stuffing people casually, Li Qin worked hard and his acting was solid, so Zhang Hao had no objections.

Later, Li Qin will also participate in the filming of the gift film "The Founding of the Party". The third master is still the director of this film, which makes Zhang Hao wonder if Li Qin is the third master's illegitimate daughter?
But this has nothing to do with the "Manslaughter" movie. In this circle, it's normal for investors to stuff people into the crew.

Zhang Hao is self-aware, and he is not a top director, so he is not qualified to say no to investors.

The little actor Mai Mai put on his makeup very quickly, and the filming of this scene will start at any time.

"Okay, all departments are in their positions, photography?"

"OK..."

"light?"

"OK..."

"Props and costumes? Any questions?"

"no problem……"

"Okay, let's try shooting, let's do it first, get ready, action..."

With the recording of the scene, the filming of this simple family scene began.Following Li Weijie's motorbike, the camera drove into a small courtyard and gradually shifted to his face.

Li Weijie picked a rose at random, put it on the dishes in the house, and sprayed perfume in the mirror.Then he tiptoed behind Ayu, hugged Ayu, offered her the rose, and then kissed her lightly.

Ayu was happy in her heart, but she resisted and said: "In broad daylight, you..."

The couple were making out, but when they turned their heads and saw their daughter An An, she became serious in a second.

An An innocently asked, "Dad, what are you doing?"

Ayu was caught by her daughter and was a little embarrassed, so she changed the subject: "An An, are you hungry?"

An An's innocent big eyes are very expressive. Zhang Hao personally performed the operation and took a close-up shot with a camera.

The difficulty of the whole scene is not high, and the performance of the little actor Mai Mai is remarkable. After the third filming, the scene is over.

"Mai Mai, it's not bad, I'll treat you to some sweets later." Zhang Hao praised.To deal with young actors, you must know how to buy them. Generally speaking, the candy strategy works well.

Unexpectedly, Mai Mai replied crisply: "Brother director, my mother won't let me eat candy, saying it will cause tooth decay."

"Uh... this..." Zhang Hao was speechless for a moment, and the staff on the set were all amused by Mai Mai.

Mai Mai is still very talented. If I remember correctly, he also participated in "Ba La La Little Demon Fairy" later, and then grew up all the way, starred in many film and television dramas, and became a leader among post-zero actresses.

Zhang Hao picked her up at the audition, which is considered a good eye for talent, and he can be called a bole in the future.
