It's no wonder that Mr. Fu is a character in primary school textbooks. Even foreigners know more about his deeds. Most of the people here grew up under the influence of him and his generation. .
For people at his level, the normal process for going down to the local level is to inspect, or inspect, first.
Therefore, some departments in the compound are the primary objects of visit. Although this is not the factory area of a film studio, the brands of related institutions are all available, such as the production room, general dispatching room, production office, production department, production dispatching room, external cooperation office, publicity and distribution department, material supply department and The reference room and the like have all the items, and not a single one is left behind.
After browsing these main departments one by one, we came to another door. The department setup here has become similar to the actors team, director's room, photography studio, art room, production room, costume workshop, and scenery workshop, all of which are subordinate departments related to the actual shooting work.
Liu Qingshan was not interested in any of these, but he was curious about the warehouse that was as big as a shopping mall.
There is an introduction next to it. It is said that this is a clothing and props warehouse of nearly 20,000 square meters. There are about hundreds of thousands of sets of military uniforms from various periods and various costumes of the Chinese dynasties.
There are also tens of thousands of various effects, props, guns and other equipment from the U.S. military, the small island country army and the Chinese army in the 1930s and 1940s, as well as various types of furniture and military and daily display props from the Ming and Qing dynasties.
However, the costumes provided by Liu Qingshan in his previous film "Assembly" did not come from here. According to Master Han, he borrowed it from a private operator like an intermediary.
The reason is very simple. First, this place does not store clothing that is obviously damaged or dirty. Second, the rental price here is very high.
On the contrary, like other private film and television cities, there are often piles of tattered clothing of all kinds, which were piled together and pulled over after the actors and actresses took them off.
At this time, two more people hurried in from outside the hospital. They, Liu Qingshan, knew each other, they were the two veteran directors from the crew of "Bright Sword".
Although these two people are not well-known outside, they are well-known in the industry. They are both fourth-generation domestic directors trained by Red Star Film Studio.
After arriving, one of them quickly explained: "There were a lot of people on the set today, and the reception was very busy. When we received the call from the leader, we both hurried over here!" Of course, they were not qualified to get close to Mr. Fu. The middle-aged man they heard they knew didn't dare to respond loudly.
Fortunately, Liu Qingshan came forward in time and introduced the two of them to Mr. Fu. Mr. Fu seemed to be in a good mood: "Why don't we sit here? Let's go straight to the crew!" The building area of this film and television base is larger than that of Hengdian, and there are more architectural designs of various eras, but most of them are related to the war. Most of them are related to the movie, and there are even props and facilities used by the Red Army to forcefully cross the cable bridge.
There are also old buildings similar to those in the Jiangnan water town, but there are only a small number of them. The crew of "Bright Sword" is located in a small group of buildings that looks like a village and a post station, with a sense of era.
On the way through, Liu Qingshan even saw the ruins of burned-out cities and villages, small bridges and blockhouses hidden in the grass, various elderly shops, and buildings with the words "XX No. 1 Prison" hanging on them. etc.
The dilapidated village-style building is surrounded by a large yard, with many cars parked outside.
This was the car for the guests who came to celebrate. After entering, Liu Qingshan took a quick look and basically understood who they were.
There are not many big-name actors in it. But most of them are familiar faces, the kind of actors who often appear on TV, but except for those in the industry, ordinary viewers rarely know their names.
In other words, these people often appear in the anti-war dramas that appear in large numbers today. Most of them are from state-owned units such as Red Star Film Studio. They have not signed contracts with external entertainment companies or agents, but they often participate in films of the older generation.
In other words, they have wages from the unit, and the sources of bonuses and extra money come from various crews.
So once a new crew is established somewhere, they will pop up from everywhere to see if there are any opportunities that suit them.
Even if it's just a role with only one or two lines, most of them will take it. Anyway, it doesn't take much time and they can earn hundreds or thousands of dollars.
It can also be understood that they are the group of people who rely on this film and television base to get around, but they are far more qualified and experienced than the extras, and they have more or less connections with many famous artists and directors.
Liu Qingshan prefers to regard them as outliers in the mainstream circle. Those in the drama troupe are not keen on rehearsing plays in the troupe, those in the film and television drama dubbing only want to see themselves on the screen, and those in the folk art troupe are no longer interested in tongue twisters.
But you can't say that they are not doing their job properly, because the existence of these people has made the connections between the various crews in Kyoto much closer, and they have made up for the lack of ability of the group actors, but professional actors are not willing to get involved in those inconspicuous things. Small role.
There are also people in this category who are successful and famous, such as Zhang Hanyu, but they have a life-long friendship with Director Feng, and when they were at their worst with him, he was still a stage manager or an artist on the set.
Of course, there are also owners who are wealthy but are passionate about acting. This kind of people are called pursuits in terms of hobbies, because for the crew, they can also provide some unexpected surprises for the capital at critical moments.
There are also examples among them, such as the veteran drama star Li Chengru. As early as 1991, his foreign exchange warehouse had 13 million US dollars, equivalent to 100 million Chinese dollars.
Moreover, his courtyard house is close to the Forbidden City, and he has opened a 500-square-meter shoe store in Xidan, where land is extremely valuable. There is also a self-selected clothing store in Wangfujing, and it is said that the net profit of this type of daily income is only hundreds of thousands. It's his superficial business.
Such a person who was wealthy more than 20 years ago, at a time when most directors and actors could not even afford Xia Li, was already driving a Mercedes-Benz S600 around the streets of Kyoto and mingling with various production crews.
Therefore, there is no shortage of this kind of people in the current group of people, and Liu Qingshan's attitude towards them cannot be said to be too polite.
Because during his three years as an extra, he had been in and out of hundreds of crews, and almost every crew had characters like this.
Moreover, they are quite easy-going towards the extras, as if they are like brothers, unlike some young actors who have high aspirations but low abilities, and think they are noble by shouting and talking.
As for Liu Qingshan, due to his past experiences, he often subconsciously thinks that he is the same kind of person when he sees these people.
For example, when filming "A World Without Thieves", he had met several of these people. Seeing him greeting people all the way in such a familiar manner, even Mr. Fu was surprised: "You have a wide range of social contacts. You can talk to people from all walks of life!" At this time, he had already entered the crew. Liu Qingshan in the courtyard smiled and explained: "Don't treat them as extras. Some people's acting skills are like those of veteran actors; some people have hundreds of employees under their hands and are willing to come here to perform; Some of them are members of various art groups themselves, and their interpersonal networks are complicated!" Mr. Fu asked casually, and in no time he was surrounded by investors from the production crew and military consultants.
They didn't have the taboos of film studio executives. Facing such a character they had read about in textbooks since childhood, the purpose of gathering around him was just to express their inner admiration and admiration for many years.
And the person beside him is Liu Qingshan. With this person around, no one can hurt the old man.
Li Youbin, Du Guozhi, An Yixuan, and Sun Li are the few people in the crew who, besides Chen Baoguo, Liu Qingshan knows, and they were recommended by him to join the crew.
So while Li Youbin was holding hands and communicating with Mr. Fu, these people gathered around him. Since he produced the script and was one of the investors, these were not the only people he arranged to join.
For example, Wei Dayong and Duan Peng, who need to demonstrate strong martial arts skills in the play, are members of the Liu family class, but they cannot enter this room due to their qualifications.
These two people are called Geng Cheng and Mi Jianxiang respectively, and they are both from the Guowu Hall martial arts school. Liu's class has martial arts and overseas Hongmen as its main team. There are people with stronger skills and better appearance. However, this is a mainland drama, so first of all, they need to be able to speak Mandarin.
The abilities of the two of them are not bad, especially Mi Jianxiang, who is 1.85 meters tall and has acquired strength. It is simply not suitable to play the role of the monk Wei Dayong who is still remembered by the audience more than ten years after the broadcast.
Liu Qingshan will never restrict the development of the people he supports for his own use.
Regardless of the form, once a crew is willing to take over, he will support it with both hands. He sent the two of them to test the feasibility of this road.
After attending the opening ceremony, the group declined the crew's banquet and left decisively. The purpose of Mr. Fu's trip is to give a platform to the film studio to ensure that this TV series, which is the first of its kind in mainland war dramas, will have a smooth journey.
After that, if there is still someone who makes some small moves behind his back, I'm sorry, but what will greet him then will no longer be as simple as a warning.
According to the prior agreement, Mr. Fu had to return home directly at this time. Moreover, the old man had an almost unbreakable habit of taking a nap.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the car left the filming base, the old man offered to go to the military camp with Liu Qingshan.
Liu Qingshan looked a little embarrassed: "Old man, it's almost noon, your nap?"
