After the New Year, the crew's filming work got back on track.
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, the first trailer of "Inside the Wild" has been released, and it has received praise from a large number of fans online. There is no doubt that such a series with top-notch actors and actresses is well-produced. With the blessing, as long as the content does not stretch your hips, it will gain a wave of popularity no matter what after it goes online.
The benefits of traffic stars are reflected at this time. The New Year is not over yet, and many sponsors are eager to find them at this time.
Sponsorship of film and television projects is different from ordinary projects. No matter what period it is, there is a lot of room for manipulation. For example, if a well-known snack and cosmetics group wants to add a plot of the protagonist group using its products in the plot, there is no need. It’s very troublesome, it’s just a matter of a few words.
Penguin doesn't have any objections to this. They often cooperate with these advertisers. Many films invested by Penguin have similar small plots. The show has already made money before it is aired. This kind of thing comes naturally to them. The more the merrier.
However, He Tianran didn't like this kind of design of inserting blunt lines into the main film. He chose another plan, which was to play a fifteen to thirty second advertising mini-theatre between the transitions of the main film, with the characters of the crew The interpretation not only expands the subject matter requirements of the customer's products, but also does not make the audience too jumpy.
The person who came up with the creative idea of such an interlude-type advertisement is really a genius. Think about it, the average quote for one advertisement of this kind ranges from 200,000 to 500,000. One or two advertisements will be inserted in one episode. Just press " Judging from the original 40 episodes of "Inner Wilds", the advertising fees earned are really enough to bring back blood.
Moreover, shooting this kind of commercial shouldn’t be too simple. The crew has all the ready-made people, and the scene fee can be saved a lot. He Tianran still finds it troublesome. You know, just pick out one or two from these small theater commercials. The projects were submitted to outside advertising companies. They were projects that required painstaking revisions of several versions of the plan and chasing clients for several months before they were completed.
Of course, the above quotations are all for the supporting roles in the play. Starring actors such as Sui Chulang or Gu Qiaoman originally have endorsements, and some advertisements are not suitable for shooting. And if you really want to hire them, the salary will be higher. The advertiser has negotiated with them themselves. Anyway, the 200,000 yuan insert ticket price from the crew will not change.
Hengdian, the filming location of Spring and Autumn Tang Garden, 10 p.m.
There is one last scene left in Group B of "The Field of Hearts" today, without the participation of the protagonists. It mainly shoots some scenes of several princes secretly conspiring and discussing on the wedding night of Su Jingche and Yu Wen.
"Director Yu, is the special guest who will play the role of the Eighth Prince come? If he comes, let him come over and try his luck. Tell me what arrangements will be made later."
Cai Jueming asked the next few assistants to set up the track, took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, and walked towards the slightly tired Yu Hui.
Just now he yelled at an agent assistant. Dozens of people on the scene were working non-stop, but none of them dared to step forward for the time being. This kind of scene happens almost every day. Everyone is not surprised, but Cai Jueming is a member of Team B. You need to advance your photography work, otherwise he wouldn't come here at this time.
Yu Hui said angrily: "Originally, the boy who played the eighth prince couldn't come. He said he was going home to celebrate the New Year. The manager of the company contacted him. This guy just posted a bunch of short essays, saying that he listened to his family's suggestions and didn't want to do this. We’re done, we want to terminate the contract, trough!”
Cai Jueming opened his mouth: "Huh? Your company's agent didn't communicate in advance, okay? The filming has already started and the person is still in his hometown."
"Stop talking about this and think about solving the problem."
Yu Hui rubbed his eyebrows. This issue was a bit complicated. The announcements for these special actors were different from those for group performances. They were all artists from their own company. Such a family scandal must not be made public.
"How about... I contact the group leader and ask him to help select a few with good image among the group performers. Let's take a look."
"Soon?"
"Don't talk about this normally. Even at three o'clock in the morning, these group leaders can greet you with hundreds of people. But now during the Chinese New Year, most of the Hengdiao have gone home, and they also have to choose their image. This is It’s a bit...tsk, it’s really hard to say.”
"Let's try it first. The cost can be doubled."
"Um...Production teacher, come here."
Cai Jueming called the on-site producer through the walkie-talkie. After learning about this incident, the other party also looked embarrassed. He could only try to find someone first. No one made any noise about this matter for the time being. The lighting team put up the lights. An actor who had put on makeup was already waiting silently aside to recite his lyrics.
"Master Cai, the track is paved, do you want to give it a try?"
Not far away, the second assistant of the photography team shouted to Cai Jueming.
"No, wait until Mr. Lantern fixes the light. Don't be in a hurry. Let's have a cigarette when it's done."
Cai Jueming threw the soft bag in his hand, and his brothers caught it, then dispersed and started to puff away.
"Director Yu... you are sure you will be filming tonight, right?"
Regarding the questions raised by photography, Yu Hui remained silent.
All the crew's schedules have been set, not only the people, but also the venue. For the scene like this, they have to leave at 8 o'clock in the morning. The cost is not bad, mainly because there are other teams coming in to shoot tomorrow. And it lasts for several days.
Now that the filming of "Into the Wild" is about to wrap up in Hengdian, He Tianran's Team A had already finished work earlier today. If Team B can't keep up with the progress and the scene is delayed, Yu Hui, as the person in charge, will still be under a lot of pressure, especially Now, everyone present is busy. If there really is no filming tonight, if they say something now, all the work they are doing can be stopped.
But I'm afraid, after saying that it's stopped, the production side will really find someone after a while; but if they can't find someone, it will be very annoying if everyone stays up all night and works for so long in vain.
We were filming a late-night scene, and everyone was tired and irritable. If we told everyone that the actor was at fault, we would have to wait and find him again, and we would inevitably be spat at by a few veteran crew members again, saying something like " A director who can't arrange the actors well can only be considered a begging director." This kind of words pierced his heart.
Don't be rude when encountering something like this. If you offend these workers, the entire crew will stop filming.
Yu Hui doesn't have the same dominance and persuasiveness that He Tianran does on the crew. The crew is like this, very realistic, and swearing can only hurt people.
Therefore, in the film and television industry, especially as a director, if you don’t have a big heart, you really can’t succeed.
Yuhui is still a little worse in this regard.
"Director Yu, Photographer Cai, the lights are almost there. It's time for you to make arrangements."
On the roof, the boss of the lighting team finished setting up the lights, took off his gloves and pinned them around his waist, then sat on the roof with his legs crossed.
Cai Jueming saw that Yu Hui had a sullen face and said nothing. He was sitting on the director's chair shaking his legs. He couldn't make up his mind for a while.
"Master Deng, you probably need to change your lighting."
At this time, Mr. Cai, who had figured out Yu Hui's thoughts, stood up.
"What the hell?"
"I just made a suggestion to the director. The logic of this scene is not right. The ancients all got married at dusk in the afternoon, so I wanted to change the lighting from night to day. When their A team shot the wedding, it was also in the afternoon, and the bridal chamber was night."
When the boss of the lighting team heard that the lighting was to be changed, he immediately lost his temper. It took a long time to work on a set of lights. The lights were heavy and they had to climb up and down. They were probably the most tired of the crew during filming.
"I hate your uncle Cai Jueming! Do you have any talent? Didn't you tell me this earlier?! We've finished the fight, why don't you fart! Can't this scene be filmed at night and during the day?!"
Cai Jueming laughed "haha" twice: "Are you looking for my uncle? Buy a plane ticket and fly to the capital. His old man is waiting for you in Babaoshan Cemetery. Change it quickly. If this scene has an effect, I will help you Just reimburse the air tickets, that’s it!”
For such a shameless person, the boss of the lighting team even scolded him and had no choice but to reluctantly change the lighting again.
In order to save Yu Hui's face as a director, Cai Jueming also risked his life, but it was right for him to come forward in this matter.
After all, the last thing the lighting team wants to provoke is the photographer, because sometimes some pictures just lack a little light, and the photographer can just adjust the aperture to solve the problem. But if the person is unhappy and doesn't want to move, the whole lighting has to be adjusted in one sentence. The people in the group got busy.
"...Thank you, Mr. Cai."
At this time, Yu Hui, who had been tense, finally spoke.
"It's okay. I came here just now to tell you about this situation."
Cai Jueming threw away the cigarette butt in his hand. Advertisers were coming in recently. He Tianran had sorted out the advertising for the small theater. Hu Yue was already saving scripts for the small theater. If nothing else, their Group B I will also take some photos.
The money for these advertisements is calculated separately. If you shoot more ads, you will get more money. Whether it is for this benefit or for being logically responsible for the plot itself, it does not count that Cai Jueming helps Yu Hui withstand this scandal. deficit.
"I just hope that the production side can do a better job and find someone else, otherwise we still won't be able to shoot today."
Although he bought some time, Yu Hui's heart was still hanging.
"Let me tell you a fortune."
Yu Hui's eyes lit up, "Yes, you do the math!"
Cai Jueming looked up at the sky, then at the producer who was on the phone in the distance in the southwest, then raised his left hand and started counting with his thumb.
Many people in the crew know that Mr. Cai can tell fortunes, and he is very good at it. It is said that he learned it at home. Generally, if you lose something, you can definitely go to him, whether it is the location, or anything, or even how close a person is. He could calculate what he had eaten an hour ago.
After finishing the calculation, Cai Jueming's thumb rested on the tip of his ring finger and said with a strange expression:
"Akako?"
Yu Hui hurriedly asked: "What do you mean?"
"...Someone is coming."
Cai Jueming clasped his fingers, but his face remained suspicious.
"Isn't this a good thing? Aren't you afraid that people won't come now?"
Yu Hui was puzzled. Cai Jueming didn't answer, but just looked to the west.
As soon as he finished speaking, the lamp master who was moving a lamp in that direction suddenly shouted:
"Oh shit... who is... Hey, Director He! Why are you here? You scared me by dressing like this, hahahahaha, ugh!"
I saw a figure walking vaguely from the west. As soon as the little brother who was standing under the lamp heard his boss's cry, he immediately turned the lamp over. In the dim shadow of the lamp, I saw "He Tianran" wearing an ancient uniform. He wears a long black gown and has a red hairband tied into his hair, which is tied into a ponytail and hangs down his back. He looks like a knight in a costume drama.
"Director He, you are addicted to acting. You have made a few guest appearances in your group, right?"
"Don't tell me, Director He looks more handsome than Sui Chulang."
"That's right, Director He, don't just be a director from now on. If you don't direct and act in and film something, your face will be in vain! You are also a top-notch person!"
When the crew members saw He Tianran coming to the set using this image, they all started joking.
This place was originally a film and television base, so this look is so normal, and if the director wants to make a cameo in his own movie, everyone is not surprised.
When Yu Hui saw He Tianran coming, he hurriedly greeted him. Only Cai Jueming stayed where he was, looking at He Tianran who was surrounded by everyone, frowning and breathing gradually...
There was a terrifying thought running through his mind.
Just because of this "He Tianran"...
It doesn't look like a living person...
