In the capital, Zhang Feng fell asleep slowly while wondering whether to tell Wu Di about this incident. In the end, she still did not speak.
Why?
He met with a beautiful woman and made an appointment for dinner. When he came back, he acted like a normal person and didn't reveal a word. Why should she take the initiative to report it, making it look like she was a sycophant?
On the other side, the mountain city.
The mist rose in the early morning, and across the river, both sides of the river were covered with mist. Wu Di had never seen this kind of scene in his life or in his previous life.
This is really a strange feeling, as if you are living in a fairyland, like a mist.
It feels great.
No wonder so many movies and TV dramas like to shoot here, it really has a special atmosphere.
Lifestyle films, suspense films, and even horror films, it's all covered, and it can handle them all.
Since the scheduled date has not yet arrived, the opening ceremony has not been held yet, but the filming still started on the scheduled date.
Although, Wu Di felt that he didn't care about it for a day or two, but it was obvious that as soon as he entered work mode, his attitude was very serious.
Even a little arbitrary.
When it is said that it will be turned on, it will be turned on at that time without any discussion.
To be honest, Wu Di was quite happy to see his vigorous and resolute side.
As a director, you have to look a little like a director, so that you can be decent. You know, the director has a very high authority and a lot of responsibility in the crew.
It can be said that the director is the overall person in charge of a movie. No matter who is actually responsible for the filming, as long as the director is named, this responsibility cannot be escaped.
Precisely because of the high pressure, generally speaking, the director's temper is not very good. After all, if you want to control the entire crew, it is impossible not to have a little temper.
Should a good gentleman like Wu Di be allowed to join?
Who can he lead?
Oh, even though Boss Wu has no leadership skills, he really wants to take over this time.
This is really a regrettable thing.
Co-director!
In name!
Is this still false?
Since it's true, don't say anything else. Even if you don't want to go, then you have to go.
So, Xiao Qi, who had started filming early, suddenly made sense. After all, it was Wu Di who wanted to make the movie, and it was Wu Di who wanted to force his name to appear. Since all these things have to be done, then I should take it seriously if I haven’t said it yet.
Let’s learn the techniques of directing.
Although Xiao Qi himself is also a newbie and his skills are not that superb, he still has no problem tutoring Wu Di, a complete novice.
So, it was said that the filming was started, but in fact not much serious shooting work was completed.
In order to allow Wu Di to get started as soon as possible and have a certain foundation, Xiao Qi also carefully arranged and chose this scene in the woods as the opening.
Why choose woods?
Of course it's because there are few people here and it won't hinder the lives of ordinary citizens!
Here, it is very convenient to set up the scene and shoot, and you don’t need to worry about affecting other people. It doesn’t matter if the shooting time is extended a little.
At this time, some of the leading actors were already in place, and they were taking their positions and acting opposite each other.
Because it is a modern film with ordinary life scenes, the lines in this film are relatively simple and there is no difficulty in thinking about them.
Therefore, the actors were not under much pressure to memorize their lines, and on-site communication was smooth.
Their biggest pressure may still come from the film's co-director, a man who has just become famous but comes to the director circle to stir up trouble.
This is not to say that actors cannot become directors. In the past, there were people who evolved from actors to directors and produced excellent works.
But, this will definitely not include Wu Di.
There is no other reason than that he is still too young. Moreover, he has not acted in a few movies yet. Who can prove his strength?
Why did you let him get involved?
On this set and in the woods, there were not many people who looked at Wu Di strangely, and there were quite a lot of them.
There are mainly two types of people.
One type is envious, and this kind of people are generally kind.
There is no doubt that on the set of Labyrinth, Wu Di is currently the most popular person, the most famous, and commonly known as the big shot.
How can a small crew like theirs, which is so poor, attract rising stars like Wu Di to participate?
Everyone is really envious of his sudden popularity, and they all want such good luck to come to them.
If we can be as lucky as him, let alone become famous, as long as we can become a starring role, all these years will not be in vain.
How lucky!
As for the other group of people, their ideas are not so simple.
They are almost full of doubts about Wu Di appearing here now. Among them, the largest number of people are the staff behind the scenes.
To them, Wu Di is a complete newcomer. He has never studied this industry before, and he has no master to get started. How can he suddenly be superior to the behind-the-scenes staff like them?
And they have to obey his orders?
It is relatively easy for the actors to accept Wu Di as director. After all, many of them were not well-known in the past and were not big names. For them, Wu Di embarked on the path of director. It was still a matter of pride for them.
What about!
look!
There are also talented actors who can create good works!
If he can do it, we can do it!
All of my actor friends suddenly felt a sense of pride.
On the other hand, the staff behind the scenes expressed their opinions when they saw that Wu Di had crossed over into another industry.
Can he do it?
Isn't this chaos?
However, amidst their suspicious looks, Wu Di still sat on the director's fishing chair, looking like he was putting on a good show.
At this moment, Xiao Qi was teaching Wu Di some skills in using mirrors.
They say they are professors, but in fact they are just communicating.
Because, strictly speaking, Wu Di doesn't know anything about the directing industry. He has also filmed many works. Moreover, the last two movies were starring roles. He is a relatively studious person and has always paid attention to everything except acting.
many other aspects.
Then he developed a close relationship with Zhang Feng, and in the later stage of filming, he also learned a lot of director's skills.
Although at that time, he had no need in this area and did not study it very seriously, he still knew a little bit.
At least, it can be guaranteed that when Xiao Qi has something to say, he can pick up the slack.
While Wu Di and Xiao Qi were having a heated discussion, suddenly a familiar figure appeared among the actors who were preparing.
"Boss Wu!"
"Is that you? Boss Wu?"
When Lao Liu saw Wu Di, he rubbed his eyes as if he couldn't believe it. When Wu Di's eyes turned to him, he confirmed it instantly.
However, for a moment, he hesitated again.
Wu Di is very different now from before.
He is red!
And it’s so red!
Will he still pay attention to this old man who has no sense of existence?
"Old Liu?"
"It's really you!"
Seeing Lao Liu, a feeling of intimacy immediately came over him. Wu Di came over first, and Lao Liu was in disbelief.
Next, Wu Di held his hand.
She sighed with emotion: "I didn't expect to meet you here. It's great!"
"How about it?"
"Who brought you here?"
Lao Liu smiled awkwardly and said: "Of course I am still the leader of the group before, but this time my role is quite important, and I have a chance to stand out."
Seeing the two of them exchanging pleasantries, Xiao Qi couldn't sit still.
See what this means, this is recognition!
Now that we know it, we can’t help but express it.
Um.
Wu Di thought so too.
He pulled Lao Liu and recommended to Xiao Qi: "Director Qi, this is Lao Liu. When I used to hang out in Hengdian, he was my old buddy. I didn't expect that you were so discerning that you gave him to him.
Please come!"
Old Liu was shocked: I don’t want to talk about those things about Hengdian!
Besides, whoever invited him was obviously a role he had earned himself.
Since it was Lao Liu who won the role himself, he was relatively familiar with the basic situation of the Maze crew.
In short, this is a poor crew with not enough funds. Otherwise, they would not go to Hengdian to find special extras like them to perform formal roles.
To put it bluntly, the price has dropped somewhat.
Although they are very cheap, to be honest, it is still 2010, and the overall salary of actors has not been inflated to an excessive level.
Especially for those actors who are famous but not popular, or in other words, the green leafy actors who have been familiar with movies and TV series, their salaries are very low.
For example, for a movie like Labyrinth, if a few third- and fourth-tier actors are hired to star in a movie, each person will only be paid tens of thousands, which is enough.
real!
Five hundred thousand, enough to hire a dozen people!
However, Xiao Qi was not willing to pay even this small amount of money, so he went to Hengdian to find people like them, and he even praised it as original and natural.
Although, their acting skills are indeed not bad. When they received part of the script before, they felt that it was not difficult and they could do it.
At the same time, it is indeed a great honor for these special extras who have been unknown in Hengdian for many years to be able to appear in theater movies as serious actors.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and everyone is very grateful to Xiao Qi!
However, thanks are due. In the final analysis, this also reflects that the financial situation of Maze is not very good, at least not abundant.
After all, the package price of these old brothers is only 100,000 yuan.
Yes!
You read that right!
It’s really only 100,000 yuan!
It is indeed very cheap, so through this small amount of funds, Lao Liu also has a certain understanding of the funding level of the Maze crew.
Moreover, when he arrived at the set today, he felt even more confident.
Wu Di is not the only old acquaintance here!
From the lighting engineer to the set designer, many of them are the original team members from Hengdian, and many of them are known to Mr. Liu.
As mentioned before, in fact, the domestic entertainment film and television industry seems to be prosperous, but many jobs within it are still very unprofessional.
There are so many unprofessional places that I can’t even count them. The most obvious example I can give is right in front of me.
For example, these lighting technicians seem to be a professional profession with high professional requirements, but in fact, it is not like this.
Many lighting engineers lead a village by one person, and fellow villagers lead fellow villagers. As long as people in a village find that this industry is good and can be established, they will all come.
These teams are similar to Dong Wei's martial arts instruction team. They also have leaders and apprentices, and they have a tacit understanding of division of labor and cooperation.
However, it cannot be generalized to say how outstanding their professional level is.
After all, in recent years, there have been a lot of shoddy film and television dramas, many of which were produced by these grassroots teams.
[A novel app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, a source-changing app used by old bookworms, huanyuanapp]
It is true that the quality of a film and television drama cannot be determined by one link, but with the combination of numerous family-style or even clan-style teams, this crew can be called a grass-roots team.
This kind of team is only suitable for crews that don't have too high requirements for artistic pursuits. They can do some work, but no matter how high the level is, there is no hope.
It's impossible.
It's completely beyond the reach of others.
So what is a professional team?
That is, the director coordinates and hires specialized business teams to complete all projects by category.
It is necessary to formulate professional operating procedures and strictly abide by the set procedures during the filming of film and television dramas.
This seems easy, but is actually very difficult to do.
Firstly, the power of industry conformity is actually very powerful. After all, these small family-style teams have dominated this industry for many years, and they have the qualifications and connections.

Secondly, it is obvious that although the team is not professional enough, the works they produce are not all of poor quality.
There are also some excellent works, and there are quite a few of them.
If this is the case, this shows that their teams are not lacking in ability. What is criticized may be their closed spirit that only pulls the elbows of their own people.
But under the current circumstances, it cannot be prevented.
The most important point is that generally speaking, the fees charged by these so-called teams that pull each other to find job opportunities are fair and reasonable, and they can be considered very conscientious.
Therefore, on the premise that their work ability is acceptable, and with the price advantage, it is indeed easier for them to find jobs.
After all, a professional team does produce higher-quality works, but the charges will be higher.
For example, for a production crew like Maze, would they choose an extremely expensive team?
They won't.
One is because the funds are not sufficient, and the other is because it is not necessary.
After all, in director Xiao Qi's vision, the movie Maze is mainly focused on the storyline, so he doesn't pay much attention to the shooting techniques.
As long as it can express the storyline coherently.
After all, in the end, the fragmented processing that needs to hide the reasoning elements is also completed by him, the director, through editing.
Through different splicing methods, the movie presents different flavors.
This is one of the reasons why Xiao Qi finally agreed that Wu Di could be the co-director and put his name on it.
After all, his own requirements are not very high, and the movie Labyrinth does not pursue the so-called artistic aesthetics very much.
