"Shao Yang, what should I bring to the set?"

"Just go and go."

After washing up, Shaoyang took out a set of clothes that Xue Jiajia had matched for himself from the closet. As he put them on, he said, "Didn't I tell you? I was shooting in Shanghai in the past few days, and then I went to other places."

"How long does it take to get there?"

"It'll take an hour. You go and wash up quickly. We'll be leaving soon. I can't be late on the first day."

"Okay."

Xue Jiajia wore a pair of pink sandals and entered the bathroom with cheerful little steps.

She is quite looking forward to joining the crew for filming, after all, not many people have such an opportunity.

The three of them had something to eat and quickly set off from home.

On the car.

Shao Yang dialed Jiang Wansen's phone number.

"Hey, Lao Jiang, I will be downstairs of the hotel where you are staying in about twenty minutes. You come down early and wait for me. You will join the set today."

"good."

As soon as Jiang Wansen saw the call from Shao Yang, he knew it was related to the movie. He finished eating, packed his luggage, and went downstairs.

After picking up Jiang Wansen, Shaoyang drove on the national highway for more than 40 minutes and finally arrived at the door of the hotel.

This hotel specializes in hosting wedding banquets.

This time is the off-season for weddings, so the crew rented this hotel without spending much money.

At this moment, banners and huge posters have been hung at the entrance of the hotel, and an offering table has been set up in the courtyard of the hotel.

The opening ceremony can be simple or complex. Generally speaking, the key figures in the crew come on stage to say a few words, then burn incense, worship gods, and give out red envelopes.

These rituals have been handed down from time to time. Nowadays, they seem a bit superstitious, but they have become the rules of this industry. Whether you believe it or not, the ritual of burning incense and worshiping gods is indispensable when the crew starts filming.

It is said that this is a 'bad habit' brought to the mainland from Xiangjiang in the 1990s, but in fact it was originally a rule in the old theater, because before the performance, people in the past had to burn incense and kowtow to the founder of the Liyuan, Tang Minghuang, backstage. I don't know what happened next.

Somehow, it spread to the film industry.

"Brother Yang is here." When Shao Yang came down from the court, he was seen by someone from the Mahua team.

Many people in the crew had never met Shao Yang in person before. When they heard that Shao Yang was coming, everyone stretched their necks and looked in Shao Yang's direction.

Shao Yang stepped forward and asked, "Director Yan, are everyone here?"

"Everything is basically ready."

Yan Fei began to introduce Shaoyang one by one.

Generally speaking, the crew is divided into six parts: director team, production team, photography team, art team, and sound recording team.

There are many people in each team, just like the director team, including the director, assistant director, executive director, and recorder.

The production team has a larger number of people. In addition to the production director, on-site producers, life producers, and external producers, there are also supervisors, coordinators, finance, etc.

Shao Yang shook hands with them one by one, and then pointed at Jiang Wansen and introduced: "This is Lao Jiang. We are studying photography. We have been recording variety shows since then. I want him to join the crew to help."

As soon as these words were spoken, the cameraman immediately clapped his hands and said: "Great, the deputy photographer of our team has been poached, so we just have one less person."

Shao Yang didn't know if he was trying to cater to him or if it was true, but he didn't expose it either.

"Then let's get started."

"good."

Shao Yang first asked the heads of the production, stage management, photography, art, and recording groups to come on stage to speak. Then Yan Fei came on stage to say a few words, and then it was Shao Yang's turn.

Shao Yang took the speaker and walked onto the stage and said loudly: "Although this is my first time making a movie, you should know how much preparation I have made for this."

"This drama didn't go well. I still have a chance, but for you, this is the only chance. Whether you can seize this opportunity depends on you."

Shao Yang turned his attention to the crew: "As long as the box office of this drama reaches my expectations, I will use part of the proceeds to give bonuses to the brothers in the crew, and I can guarantee that you will have filming every year in the future."

"This is my promise to you, but I also want to say that if I encounter someone who is slacking off or uncooperative during the filming process, I will directly kick him out of the crew."

"Okay, that's all I have to say."

Shao Yang's words are almost a combination of kindness and power. He knows that the actors are basically his own people and he can control them, but the people on the crew are all paid to work. It is inevitable that he will encounter a few gangsters in the later stage. If he does not commit

If they get a little benefit, they won't be motivated.

After everyone finished speaking, the next process began under the arrangements of the producer.

Today is the first day of starting the machine. There are not many things to do. The two most important things are setting makeup and clothing.

This is very important, but Shaoyang already has the blueprint in his mind, he just needs to copy it.

After chatting with Yan Fei and the person in charge of the art team for more than two hours, the costumes for the protagonists were finalized.

Finished eating at noon.

Shao Yang and several leading actors began to put on makeup.

The first scene in the afternoon is about Charlotte attending Qiu Ya's wedding. The prop team is already setting up the scene.

"Yang...Brother Yang, how do you want to dress up?" A young-looking female makeup artist asked timidly.ъìqυgΕtv.℃ǒΜ

Shao Yang looked up and asked in confusion: "Why are you nervous?"

The makeup artist explained: "This is my first day on the set..."

Her name is Zhang Xiaoru. She is only nineteen years old this year. She grew up in a rural area and was admitted to a high school in the county. However, because of her poor family, she dropped out of school and went to work. After working in an electronics factory for two years and saving a little money, she ignored her family's

I objected and decided to sign up for a training class that specialized in makeup training.

After finishing her studies, she first worked in a wedding photography store. Later, as her makeup skills got better and better, she went to a big city to make a living. She heard that the crew was recruiting people, so she joined by chance.

Zhang Xiaoru didn't expect that she would be asked to do Shaoyang's makeup on her first day here.

This is obviously being excluded.

after all.

As long as it's done well, that's all.

If you don't do it well, you may lose your job.

What's more, the target is Shaoyang, so Zhang Xiaoru's nervousness is understandable.

Shao Yang smiled and said, "There's nothing to be nervous about. Just do whatever I say, and you'll be fine."

"oh."

Zhang Xiaoru placed the cosmetic bag on the table and carefully took out the cosmetics inside.

Shao Yang said: "Today afternoon, my character's identity is that of a middle-aged uncle who has accomplished nothing, dressed up to attend the wedding of my former crush, so I want you to make me look older, with an exaggerated hairstyle and a bit more funny."

"Older? Funny?"

"Um."

Zhang Xiaoru thought that Shaoyang would ask her to make him look more handsome. After hearing this request, she did not immediately start putting on makeup. Instead, she first searched some photos of people on the Internet and showed them to Shao Yang to determine what style Shaoyang wanted.

Makeup.

Shao Yang patiently talked to Zhang Xiaoru for a while, and Zhang Xiaoru finally started to put makeup on Shao Yang.

She is indeed very professional. Although the training class she attended can be considered a wild road, she works very hard. She not only learns from the teacher, but also follows online tutorials at other times. If she does not have the confidence, she will not quit her hometown.

I have a fixed job and come to the big city to make a living.

More than half an hour later.

Zhang Xiaoru stopped and said, "Brother Yang, I've put on makeup, you can take a look."

Shaoyang opened his eyes and was a little surprised.

He looked a lot older, but he looked very natural. Looking at himself in the mirror, Shaoyang felt as if he was seeing himself ten years later.

"Not bad."

"Brother Yang, do you think there is anything else that needs to be changed?"

"That's good. From now on, you can just do makeup for me."

Shao Yang's words are undoubtedly an affirmation of Zhang Xiaoru. People around him can clearly see that Zhang Xiaoru is very happy.

Walking out of the makeshift dressing room, the props team had already set up the hotel as required.

Yan Fei saw that Shaoyang had put on makeup and asked with a walkie-talkie: "Every department is ready, every department is ready, the shooting will start in five minutes."

"The props set is ready."

"Camera crew ready."

"The lighting team is ready."

"The radio group is ready."
