Filming in the Mainland is not like the Eastern Hollywood in another world, which relies entirely on the scenery. It is really admirable to dare to use the stage for any scene.

Even when the mainland was at its poorest, they always insisted on shooting on location.

As for who is needed, just bring a few battalions over to help.

Now that the market is open, the ones you look for will also cost money.

But this doesn’t mean that I will give each of these hundreds of actors a day’s wages when I shoot a scene with a lot of people.

At least you have to change a dozen sets of clothes, shoot a dozen different shots, and fully occupy this day to make the best use of everything.

As for how to shoot a dozen shots, it depends on the ability of the assistant director and director of production. They need to pick out and shoot the relevant similar scenes in each story separately.

These shots will be inserted later in post-production.

Sometimes the male and female protagonists also have to shoot a dozen of these scenes in one day, so as to avoid endless tossing in the future.

However, a truly experienced director will avoid scenes with too many people.

Because the more people there are, the more supporting actors there are, and the greater the chance of bugs.

Wasn't there a joke the year before last?

It was obviously a plot about a servant on patrol, but among the people watching the excitement on the roadside captured by the camera, there was actually a simple and honest woman looking down at her mobile phone.

That's right.

It’s really time travel!

This shot was also rated as one of the top ten humorous shots of the year.

So if you watch many TV dramas and movies, usually there are male and female protagonists appearing, and the lively scenes usually only have a dozen or so people, and at most half a street of shops.

More scenes are indoors, or in specific places such as mountains, lakes, etc.

Martial arts is even simpler, there are many professionals, and the idle people wait for them to disperse, which makes it easier to shoot.

"Young Detective Dee" is about solving a crime, so the steps of peeling off the cocoon and investigating the truth are very important, but those big scenes are completely unnecessary.

"The Case of the Golden Hairpin" tells the story of a bizarre case that happened when Di Renjie was in his hometown of Bingzhou. The overall style is biased towards the roughness of the west.

The shops, people and customs in these places are naturally different from those in Jiangnan.

But there are many such places and scenes in Hengdian. You can rent one at any time and shoot.

As for the more than a dozen indoor scenes, large and small mansions in Hengdian, residences with three entrances and three exits, etc., there are at least thousands of them, and they can be chosen at will.

On the first day of filming, the most important scenes between Shen Huan and Buyi Yi were the first scene they rehearsed yesterday, as well as some subsequent conflicts and misunderstandings between the two.

They are talented and smart actors, and with careful preparation, they had a good start yesterday, so the first day of filming naturally went smoothly.

The protagonists have very strict requirements, as do the main supporting characters.

The main supporting actors in "Young Detective Dee" are all serious actors who have signed drama contracts, not the ones who pay their wages according to the rules of the store.

It is early June, and the weather happens to be a hot period. Shen Huan and Buyi Yi were wearing more than ten kilograms of ancient costumes. Although they were almost soaked by the heat, they still performed meticulously.

Moreover, the two of them got into the mood right from the beginning. Zhou Pu sat behind the camera monitor and did not speak at all because of their performance.

Seeing how delicately the two acted, these actors, who had been working hard for many years, also restrained their thoughts and began to cooperate with them seriously.

But there are no surprises.

Throughout the morning, Zhou Pu and the production director shouted "stuck" a total of 7 times, all because the supporting actors, extras and extras had gone awry.

Perhaps it was because they had just started performing and had not yet adjusted well, so they all seemed a little rusty, making mistakes one way or another. Zhou Pu was so angry that he dropped his cup and trumpet twice.

If there were another protagonist, I'm afraid this kind of drama would never be filmed again.

Either you do it directly with post-processing, or you just arrange the scenes for these extras and let me perform them.

Otherwise, a person as big as me would waste so much time because of a few supporting roles, extras and extras, and have to stop and start over after a good performance. What does this sound like?

But Shen Huan didn't say anything, let alone Buyiyi.

Why does Buyiyi have good relationships with various crews and has many connections?

Isn't it because no matter which crew she is on, she works conscientiously and never has a second thought?

No matter how difficult the environment is, she will lie down when told to do so; no matter how tired she is, as soon as she is told to rush to work, she immediately washes her face and goes into filming...

It's hard not to like a girl like this, who knows how to behave.

Zhou Pu knew her character, so he wanted to hire her at a high price.

Because Zhou Pu knew that as long as Buyiyi agreed, she would not have any complaints after joining the crew and would definitely finish the filming well.

Some actors are not like this.

They were good when they agreed, but after joining the crew, they were either picky about life, dissatisfied with acting, or made various demands.

Such an actor simply invites an ancestor to support him.

Zhou Pu would definitely not want such an actor to appear in his crew.

This morning, when such mistakes were made frequently, he was a little worried that Shen Huan would get angry.

Even if he doesn't curse, he will be asked to find other actors to replace this group of people.

But in fact, the same goes for substitutions. If there is no initial running-in period, the new actors, extras, and extras will also make mistakes, and they may not be as good as this group of people.

After all, Shanhai.com invested a lot this time. Zhou Pu’s assistants for casting actors had been squatting here in Hengdian a month in advance and had already selected a relatively good batch.

But at that time, if Shen Huan really started to make a fuss and wanted to change people, Zhou Pu would definitely not give up the favor and could only replace him with a batch of people, but this would disrupt the plan and would be very uncomfortable.

He will definitely not fall out if he falls out. Zhou Pu became very familiar with Cui Zhong some time ago, and he knows deeply what status Shen Huan has in the heart of the eldest princess. Although he is a top-notch TV drama director, in the heart of the eldest princess, compared to Shen Huan, Huan is far behind.

So, if an irreconcilable conflict arises, do you think the eldest princess should be replaced by Shen Huan or Zhou Pu?

Zhou Pu didn't dare to think about it.

How can a top-notch director in the television industry watch in front of the richest princess in China?

However, amidst Zhou Pu's worries, Shen Huan didn't say a word and stopped when asked to stop. At most, he just sat down and rested.

Even when he was resting, he was chatting with Buyiyi and the costume and ancient etiquette consultants, discussing all the things in the play.

It was like this once, and it was like this twice... When it was lunch time, there was no peeling or breakout on Shen Huan's side, and Zhou Pu breathed a sigh of relief.

"How's it going? Were you panicking before?" Lan Xin, the great screenwriter in the group, touched Zhou Pu's arm and said with a smile.

Lan Xin and Zhou Pu have worked together before and are relatively familiar friends, so naturally they don't have so many taboos when speaking.

During the meal, everyone had their own circle. Shen Huan still took the same group of people to eat together and talk about the script. Zhou Pu was the only one with Lan Xin.

"Isn't that true?" Zhou Pu said happily while drinking the soup, "Fortunately, fortunately our teacher Lu has a good character and doesn't have the spirit of a young man at all."

"You're wrong. How can he, a young genius, not have the spirit?" Lan Xin sneered, "Have you seen him play basketball in the past two months?"

"Watched some videos online."

"I went to the scene during the finals. I was young and frivolous! So, would a young man who can play such hearty basketball be a sluggish person?" Lan Xin said with eyes shining, "He really suits me. All the fantasies of the young hero in my heart! How can I use someone else’s image to write about young heroes in the future? It must all be him!"

Zhou Pu was eating and did not answer the call.

Come on.

This is another fan of Sister Xiaofeng!

"So, I am taking my work very seriously, giving you face, giving me face, and giving face to Shanhai.com." Lan Xin said, "Let me just say, I can work so well with Zhu Mei, and there is no rumor." How can a young man who has committed any domineering behavior be difficult to maintain?"

"That's true. After all, she is the 'Unparalleled Little Feng Sister'. How could it be wrong?" Zhou Pu nodded and said, "I heard that the crew of Lao Du in the past two months, that is He Guangyuan, is not yet a first-class niche, right? When he came to Hengdian for filming, all the other crew members stayed in four-star hotels, but he couldn't live in anything other than a five-star hotel, and he had to stay in three executive suites...and that's just for accommodation!

Look at our teacher Lu, a small suite is enough. And I heard from Lao Qin that Teacher Ren, who plays the role of the county guard, is inconvenient because of his age, so he just changed to the small suite with the best location. I gave it to Teacher Ren and moved to the corner by myself!

And when it comes to eating now, our previous crew, I dare not say all, at least the young male and female leads, would come alone when ordering food, right? Not six dishes and one soup, but at least four dishes and one soup, and they had to have their own table. Eat. How can he and Yiyi just pick up a box lunch and eat like this?"

"Otherwise, how can we say that people have achieved what they have now at the age of 16?" Lan Xin agreed, "Those who show off their power and become arrogant when they succeed, how can they go far?"

"So, our crew is lucky!" Zhou Pu smiled, "Look, although Shanhai.com spent so much money this time, it is definitely worth it! In the field of Chinese TV dramas, there will be another one. It’s a divine drama!”

Listening to this, Lan Xin couldn't hide her smile.

"Young Detective Dee" is her script, just like her son.
Chapter completed!
