Well, a few people first came to Huangsha County on the Loess Plateau. But after he got off the train at this time, Director Li said: "Huangsha County here is not where we filmed. The conditions here are not bad, but there is no coal mine here. The coal mine is in a smaller one nearby." The county seat is Baishi County.

In fact, Shiraishi is even poorer. It can basically be described as a bird that has no shit. It has no sense of existence on the map. Even if you use a magnifying glass to look for it, it is not easy to find Shiraishi County.

The place in Baishui County was indeed a place that grandma didn't care about and uncle didn't love. However, some people later discovered that the coal mines had become a little more popular, which attracted some people's attention.

But, to be honest, the place of Shiraishi is still very poor. Even if it has a small coal mine, its foundation is weak and its economic development is relatively weak. So, well, even though coal mines have been discovered, However, the overall economy has not developed very much, but there are a few people there, because the Luffa Small Coal Mine has become rich, but most of the people who have become rich have moved away, and few stay in Baishi County. Over there.

Well, of course, these have nothing to do with us. We are going to make a movie, so we just need to find a place to shoot the movie. As for Baishi County, various conditions are more suitable for our movie needs.

So it's better for us to go there first. As for us, we first took the bus to the Baishi Line, and then we took a donkey cart for more than an hour, and then we could go to the small coal mine we had decided to shoot.

Of course, we will first stop at Shiraishi, where we will stop for a while and let everyone get used to the environment.

There, if there are some outdoor scenes, you can complete your own filming.

Also, we will find some love we need there, and then after shooting the exterior scenes, we will directly shoot the core parts and go to the coal mine to participate in the shooting.

Okay, that's about it. If you need to buy anything, I think you'd better buy it here, because when you get to the Shiroishi Line, it won't be said whether you can buy it or not, but the price will definitely be higher. .

OK, if there are any problems here, you can come to me directly, or you can go to the Hadron Army and others. Anyway, there are only 5 people in our crew, right? Let’s unite and strive to make this movie Well done.

Give everyone half an hour. In half an hour, we will go to the bus station.

If you are willing to buy something, there is a large supermarket nearby where you can go. If you are not willing to buy something, you can wait for half an hour. "

It seems that Director Li is not very familiar with this place. He has probably been here more than once. This is the clear door.

Ye Ming said that he was ready and had nothing to buy. However, Haitang rushed out in a hurry. He probably underestimated the level of poverty here.

Even though this place is already so poor, the director's intention here in Huangsha County is that the industry in Baishi County is richer.

Once you arrive at the Shiroishi Line, you may indeed have some things you want to buy but cannot buy. Therefore, Haitang mainly goes directly to the large supermarket near the Ganmen Gate.

At this time, Xiaojun said with some worry: "Director, to be honest, I saw along the way that this Haitang girl is not a fuel-efficient person. At first glance, I can tell that she is a person who is used to enjoying herself.

Let him follow us and we go to Baishi County to shoot a movie. I am not worried about the location. There should be no big problem for a professional actor to shoot the location. This is easy to talk about. But, after all, we are not just Said there was only this content.

And what about the content of the small coal kiln? Think about how hard it is there. If we follow in, will the heroine be willing to follow at this time? Although he doesn't need to work in the mine, he still has to go to the small coal mine.

I think it’s better to talk about this in advance.

That place is really hard, let alone a girl's family, even if we men want to say that it is not particularly easy to persevere. "

Director Li shook his head and said, "Anyway, I told her this in advance. I said the shooting conditions were very difficult. I asked her and she confirmed it. She said she would definitely cooperate with our shooting, saying that the actors have to endure some hardships." It's not a big deal, just treat it as a training in life. Otherwise, with her temper, do you think I would want her?

That is impossible. I have already told him that the conditions are difficult. Anyway, he is mentally prepared now. Don’t worry, when the time comes, we will complete the filming very quickly.

If you don't want to shoot her first, you can also finish shooting his. Then, let's talk about other things. Things like going down a well must be done. She doesn't have to do it, but it's impossible for others not to do it.

If we don't shoot underground, then the movie will be imperfect and have no soul. Only by going underground and shooting the movie "Black Mine" can we truly find our soul.

Okay, let’s overcome any difficulties, right? Let’s make progress together and strive to make a good movie. "

Not long after, Haitang came over with large and small bags of things. A package of cosmetics and snacks, etc., and she really went shopping with great effort.

The old bus swayed to Baishi Bus Station. It was actually a bus station without walls, which shows how difficult the conditions here are.

Baishi County is indeed very poor. There is only one big commercial street. To say that this street is a commercial street is a bit flattering. However, it can be said that this is the only one in the county that is relatively decent. Of course, this The phenomenon is also relative. The entire street is only about 200 meters long from east to west. There are two supermarkets, a hotel, an Internet cafe, and two or three clothing model stores. There is basically no commercial information in other places.

In short, this solid white line can be used to describe desolation in one sentence. Whether it is a supermarket, restaurant, or clothing store, they are all very shabby.

The only thing here that can be compared with the one in Huangsha County is probably here. The Internet cafes are pretty good. If you look carefully at the names, there are probably no less than 5. Although there are only two Internet cafes on the surface, at least there are There are three relatively hidden Internet cafes, which should be black Internet cafes.

Of course, there are also places with small pink lights on, so I won’t go into details about this.

This time, everyone didn’t stay in a hotel and couldn’t find a hotel here. It’s not like there aren’t any small hotels or something like that. However, in order to save money, Director Li rented a small courtyard. Anyway, the entire crew only has 5 people in a small courtyard, which is about the same. It's just big enough for people to live in and there's room for equipment.

By this time, it was already dark. The crew of 5 came here in a hurry. It took about 7 hours to get here from the capital, including the waiting time for the bus.

There was no serious eating, just traveling back and forth between the north and the south.

In fact, it is quite hard. This time, the director actually took the initiative to treat everyone to dinner. Although there is no good place to eat here, but after all, there are half hard dishes on the table. Although the conditions It was tough, but the first meal included chicken, duck, fish and so on.

One is to reward everyone, and the other is to give everyone a break. This is a party before starting the machine.

At this time, Director Li stood up with a drink and said: "Everyone, the conditions are limited. Thank you for your hard work. Let's overcome it. When the filming is finished and we arrive in the capital, I will treat everyone to a big hotel for a big meal. It will be considered as the completion of filming." It’s time for a banquet. Because the conditions in this small place are quite difficult, I really feel sorry for you all. Today we have a good meal and a drink and the crew pays for it. Then, we will officially start work tomorrow. I hope that with everyone’s cooperation, we can successfully complete the party. This movie was made, thank you all."

This is the first time the director has mentioned hardship. To be honest, the conditions in the small courtyard this time are actually quite difficult.

This is not a film crew. It's almost like a beggar. In this small shabby yard, the entire crew does seem to be relatively low-income.

Haitang felt a little unhappy in his heart, but since he was new here, he was embarrassed to say too much to irritate everyone.

Now that the contract has been signed, he and she decided to endure it for the time being and wait and see what happens. However, as for what happens next, the conditions are indeed very difficult. Director Li is right about this.

Of course, there are no lights, sound engineers, etc. when shooting on location. The entire crew of professionals plus their male and female leads is only 5 people in total. Xiaojun is responsible for lighting, sound, etc., and on-site It's also Xiaojun's job to be the director of the drama.

As for the coercive person, he is responsible for contacting the outside world, and his general position in charge of external relations is equivalent to that of a production director.

oh. And he is also forced to be a photographer. Everyone in the show wears multiple hats.

Just like all crews, when we first start shooting, of course we have to choose something relatively simple and easy to shoot.

This is also to give everyone an adaptation period and a running-in period.

This is basically the case for all crews. You can't shoot a big scene on the first day, otherwise you will definitely make yourself uncomfortable.

The black frame crew also took two more days. The director chose some relatively simple shots, but even if these relatively simple shots were shot, it would take a lot of effort.

Because there are only two professional actors in the entire crew, including Mingming and Haitang. The rest of the actors, whether they are supporting actors or light-faced actors, are all ordinary people recruited from the county. Think about ordinary people. How difficult is it for people to make movies?

Movies are not as simple as what you see on the TV screen. You can just stand in front of the camera and perform. If it were that simple, there would be no difference between a superstar and an ordinary actor.

It is not a simple matter for ordinary people to become an actor. Without a period of hard work and two or three years of being a bit player, it is almost impossible to figure out some things in the crew. Possible things.

Even if you want to have some confidence in front of the camera, you have to work as a bit player for at least half a year.

If you want to be familiar with it, it will take two or three years, so a mature supporting role or Qingyan, etc., basically takes two or three years to develop.

In other words, how can a supporting cast be called mature? That is to say, I give you the lines and then tell you about your movements and so on. If you can cooperate with the director in front of the camera and skillfully complete your part without delaying the shooting, this is called relatively skillful. Supporting roles and extras.

But if there are no movie theaters in Shiraishi County, you can basically watch movies on the TV.

Thinking about the extras here, it would be difficult to shoot to a certain extent. These extras are not very cooperative. In fact, it does not mean that they are deliberately uncooperative. Even if they want to cooperate, they do not have this ability. experience of.

Not to mention mature extras and supporting actors, even those who have been in the industry for half a year are much better than them. So in almost two days, we shot three scenes in total.

You can imagine this speed. Anyway, this speed made Director Li almost mad. Not to mention the waste of film, it must have been a waste of film. Later, the director even asked everyone to act first Two times. Once you’re familiar with it, you can start shooting officially. Just save some film, right? This thing is also quite expensive. You can’t turn it on every time and collect some unused junk lenses. That would definitely be a loss.

Of course the director was in a bad mood at this time. The total amount was only 100,000 yuan, so it was a good deal to be able to make the whole movie last.

This is already a well-known calculation result. If you want to waste some more, for example, if you shoot at a shooting speed of 150,000, it is possible to shoot the entire movie.

So in such a situation, the director feels quite annoyed, but the judges and supporting actors are not cooperative. They are not professional actors and have little acting experience. You cannot make them look like professionals. The actors are equally cooperative.

So, at this time, Director Li felt that he wanted to recruit some people as supporting actors and tours in Baishi County before. Maybe this decision was wrong, and it would delay the filming. Therefore, this matter brought great trouble to Director Li. The pressure was still very great. He wanted to think about it and see if there was any good solution to this matter?
