China Entertainment: Indulge in Vanity Fair

Chapter 152 Collecting stamps by a little girl

But how could Nancy be content?

So after he called and texted He Fang again and again, her language became more and more irritating.

"Are you a Chinese guy so afraid of me? Isn't it just an appointment to have a meal? Why are you still afraid that I will cheat you? Tonight at seven o'clock, I will treat you to dinner on the third floor of the Ritz-Carlton. Do you dare?" Come? Cowardly Chinaman?"

He Fang was really laughed at, damn it, he still uses such a low-level provocative method here.

It can only be said that this Nancy succeeded, and he was really excited by her.

Go, have to go.

Dare to say that he is a coward, he must let this little girl know what the sinister society is like.

Ever since, He Fang went to the appointment on time.

"Hey, handsome He, I didn't expect you to come, ha, please sit down. If you want to eat something, come and order." Nancy.

"It doesn't matter what you eat. The important thing is why you always want to ask me out? I'm a film director in China, and I can't give you Hollywood resources. Besides, I can see that your family should not lack Money, so you shouldn’t date me for money, right? Then...beautiful girl, tell me, why do you have to date me?”

After He Fang sat down, he slowly took out his cigarette and lit it.

"Hmm, it's not like what others said. Didn't you say that Chinese people are very reserved? You are very straightforward." Nancy smiled, then snatched the cigarette from He Fang's hand and smoked.

"So? What's the reason?" He Fang continued to take out a cigarette and lit it.

"I just think you look good-looking and beautiful. I want to try it." Nancy took a breath of the cigarette and raised her hand.

"Huh? Do you have a hobby of collecting stamps? You have this hobby when you are only a teenager?" He Fang really couldn't laugh or cry, and was followed by a teenage girl to collect stamps.

"Stamp collecting? What is stamp collecting?" Nancy asked curiously.

"To collect stamps is to collect as long as you like."

"Oh, I understand, then you will be my second postage stamp." Nancy nodded.

"What about the first one?" He Fang asked.

"Oh, don't mention that gutless man."

"..." He Fang nodded without asking.

"Okay, then let's order something so we can get strong, and then go upstairs? I've opened the room."

"Puff...cough, cough, cough..."

"Your family should be relatively rich, right? Do your parents ignore you if you do this?" He Fang asked.

"Why should I care? My parents only know how to spend time and drink every day, so they don't care about our brothers and sisters. I am not a rich family. My ancestors were minor nobles in England. Later, they came to the United States to buy a piece of land in Nevada, that's all. "

He Fang nodded after hearing this, it turned out to be such a reason, no wonder this girl was able to spend money to buy invitations to the "Vanity Fair" party.

After the two of them finished their meal, He Fang said that he had a bad impression of this hotel and wanted to change to another one.

Nancy had no objection, so He took him to another house.

……

However, young girls are very curious, and they also try to be fresh and excitable.

Therefore, He Fang, who had hardly slept all night, went down to the airport with two big dark circles under his eyes in the early morning of the 6th when Du Chunsheng watched him laugh from time to time, and then got on the plane back to China.

No matter how many times you get on the plane, you will fall asleep like that. No matter how many times you are afraid, you will be afraid of the excitement of staying up all night, as if you just got a new toy and want to play with it all at once. How can you bear it?
When he woke up again, the plane would land in Shanghai in half an hour.

After landing in Shanghai, he had to transfer to Xiamen. The crew was already waiting there, almost all crew members were assembled.

When he arrived in Shanghai, he was basically awake. After all, he had slept for twenty hours straight, and no matter how short he was, he still made up for it.

When we arrived in Xiamen, Zhang Qian had already picked him up at the airport, and He Fang was also following other stars now, so it was okay to wear sunglasses and a sun hat.

Although he rarely acts and is not a big star who shows up in front of the media every day, it is good to avoid some troubles.

"He Fang, thank you for your hard work." Zhang Qian stepped forward and patted He Fang on the shoulder.

"This is too fake and polite, how is everything going well?" He Fang asked.

"It's going well, the actors are here today, and we're just waiting for you to go over and give a lecture." Zhang Qian laughed.

"Where's Mr. Guo? I haven't seen him for a long time, and I've come to his territory, why don't I have a few drinks with him?" He Fang smiled as he walked.

"He is very busy now. Ever since their group's products have launched a brand and put in advertisements, he is very busy now. He said that he should thank you for taking him around the United States last time and letting him see it. That’s why it’s so hard to get stronger.”

"Haha, isn't he still thinking about the San Fernando Valley? Call him next time you go to America." He Fang smiled.

"Can he handle it in that place? Which of the actresses in that place is not experienced? Can't do it without three or five big guys?" Zhang Qian shook his head.

"So just let him go once, then he will work harder."

"Ha ha……"

The two chatted nonsense, and then went to the parking lot and got in the director's car of the crew, and drove back to the crew hotel.

"The director is here, director, congratulations on your Oscar."

"Director, congratulations."

"Congratulations to the director..."

Many staff members have filmed with He Fang, so everyone has a good relationship, and when they saw He Fang coming to the crew, they immediately greeted him.

"Okay, let's be happy together, let's have another glass of wine together later in the evening." He Fang responded with a smile.

After greeting everyone, he got the room card from Guan Jianqiang.

"By the way, I'll call the main creators together for a meeting in an hour. From tomorrow until the start of the machine, I'll go to restore the scene in the morning, and the whole crew will read the script in the afternoon, and try to finish these things within three days, which happens to be three days. It can be turned on in the next day."

He Fang suddenly said to Guan Jianqiang and Zhang Qian before going upstairs.

"Okay, let's make arrangements."

He Fang went to the room, put away his luggage, and took a shower, feeling relaxed.

Finally, he sat at the table and made a cup of coffee, then lit a cigarette, and began to look at the shooting schedule given to him by Keyan just now. This is the preliminary shooting schedule made by the coordinator.

Now let's see if there is anything you want to adjust.

What does the crew coordinator do?To put it simply, it is the person who makes the shooting schedule and makes announcements to the crew every day.

Planning Before filming, based on the script, the scene, the schedule of the actors, the economic cost of the crew, the director’s preferences, and the efficiency of the crew, etc., a shooting plan that meets the interests of most people is drawn up. surface.

The cost is the lowest, the efficiency is the highest, and it can take into account the schedule of the actors, and it will not make the crew very tired when shooting, and it will satisfy the director and producer.

Is this difficult?Of course it is difficult.

But those who have been working for a long time will know that this may be the easiest and most profitable position in the crew, because as long as you master the tricks, it is not difficult at all.

There are templates.

First of all, the coordinator first swipe the script to select the first option, the scene.

Make a count of how many scenes the whole film will be shot in, so when arranging the filming plan, be sure to line up the scenes of the same scene together at one time.

Secondly, find out the most important and difficult scenes.

To find out these two kinds of scenes, you have to ask the director's ideas, because some directors have other ideas and arrangements for the important scenes and difficult scenes.Some directors like to shoot the heavy scenes in the early stage of shooting, and some directors like to save the heavy scenes until the end.Therefore, it is more appropriate to ask the director.

Of course, you also have to ask the producer and the setting department. After all, the preparation for the main scene is not that simple, and it depends on how well the production team and the setting are preparing.

Again, the coordinator must understand when each actor joined the group and the duration of the contract.

Like the male and female protagonists, they may sign the entire time from the start to the finale, but generally they will sign a two or three-day contract in the contract, one for the commercial activities of the actors or other films. The TV publicity activities make time, and the second is to secretly give the actors a vacation or take care of housework.

Other supporting roles must have only signed short-term contracts, such as Yi Guxia's schedule in "Scorching Sun", Huang Yi only signed for ten days.

Because her plays are rare, ten days is enough.

Therefore, pay attention to the arrangement of the film according to the actors' entry time and length of stay, and then consider the scene and other factors.

Finally, the overall planning needs to understand the difficulty level of the film, how many movies can be shot in a day, for example, urban dramas and costume dramas must have different daily shooting volumes, and then determine the approximate daily shooting volume according to the director's shooting habits.

Some directors shoot one scene a day, while others shoot three or four scenes a day.

Therefore, planning has to take this factor into consideration.

In the end, the coordinator must also pay attention to environmental factors, such as high tide, sea of ​​clouds, sea of ​​flowers, heavy snow, etc. in special scenes. You have to understand when such an environment will appear before making arrangements, right?
Taking all these into consideration and forming a reasonable film arrangement plan, 90% of the overall planning work has been basically completed so far, so what is the remaining 10%?
Of course, it is a daily emergency, and the daily filming announcement is not the same after having a big schedule. The coordinator must adjust the next day's filming announcement every day according to the actual shooting progress.

Because some directors like to throw scenes.

It's just that I couldn't finish filming today, so I dumped the scene and let the coordinator arrange to shoot again later.

Some directors like to catch up with the schedule, and feel that there is plenty of time today, and the filming on the schedule has already been finished, but they can't let everyone rest, so they will shoot one or two more scenes.

This situation will also disrupt the filming plan.

The other is the problem of the venue. If the originally negotiated venue changes, or other problems arise, the plan must be changed before the new venue is found.

Another situation is the weather problem. The coordinator will usually contact the local meteorological station in advance to learn about the weather conditions in the next few days.

Then according to the content of the script, see if it is suitable to shoot the scenes in the script, and if there is an accident, I will ask the director for instructions.

Although the work of coordinating seems to be complicated, in fact, it is only necessary to know whether the director has finished filming according to the plan every day, whether he has dumped scenes, and whether he has filmed more scenes.How's the weather after that?Has the venue changed, and has there been any surprises in setting the scene?Can the actors be in place?Does the director have any temporary ideas?After mastering this information, the coordinator only needs to integrate the information of the day every night, and make some adjustments to the shooting notice before sending out the next day's shooting notice.

If there are special circumstances, please discuss with the director or producer, and then make an announcement.

leftover?Nothing to do, if you want to go to the set to watch the excitement, go and see it, if you don't want to go, go for a walk and eat local food or something.

That's right, overall planning seems to be mysterious and complicated, but in fact, as long as the schedule is done in the early stage, the rest can be easily completed with temporary fine-tuning every day.It is the easiest job to be in the crew. You don't need to do physical work, you don't need to create, you don't have to rush, and you still have a lot of time to do your own things. How cool.

He Fang drank coffee and smoked a cigarette, and carefully read the shooting schedule formulated by the coordinator. Basically, it was almost the same, and that was it.

If there are any special circumstances, it will be adjusted temporarily.

Three days later, the crew of "Scorching Sun" finished preparations, and the filming could begin.

The crew did not prepare any opening press conference, and started the show in a low-key manner.Because now He Fang's movies don't need such promotion as a press conference, and the word He Fang represents publicity.

"Okay, I'll publicize that "Scorching Sun" is officially starting." With Zhang Qian's shout, when the film crew was starting up, several people lifted the red cloth covering the camera.

Then Zhang Qian gave red envelopes to everyone on behalf of the crew...

After turning on the camera, it was time to start filming the first scene, a murder case in a villa, where an actress with a good figure was needed to reveal everything.

So, when the crew set up the scene, they drove everyone away, leaving only a dozen people.

At this moment, the actress Hu Kai found came out wrapped in a bath towel. He Fang took a look, and it was indeed Hu Kai. He knew his taste, had a great figure and good looks.

"Director, how do I lie down?" the actor said as he pulled the towel.

With a 'bass', something dazzling popped up.

"Hey, director, did you shoot directly?" Cameraman Du Jie asked embarrassingly, rubbing his nose.
