The filming location for the movie "The Furnace" was chosen to be the High School Affiliated to Yonsei University, which is also Lim Sung-hoon's high school alma mater.
The filming location scouting for "The Crucible" actually does not have many requirements. The main scenes are in schools and court hearings. Lin Chengxun's biggest requirement for the location is that food, drink, housing and transportation must be convenient enough. Of course, being cheap enough is the second requirement. His funds
There are really not many, so your alma mater is not only a treasure in your memories, but sometimes it can also help you save money.
If you have never controlled a crew, you don’t know how expensive it is to make a movie. Apart from the actors’ salaries, the crew equipment, cameras, slide rails, lighting and sound recording equipment and equipment are all rented from Mr. Bong Joon-ho’s studio.
company, and the rental fee is almost free because of Bong Joon-ho, but after the movie is shot, the wear and tear of the equipment is a big problem; and some costumes and props require money to purchase, personnel expenses, lunch boxes, etc.
It's money.
Therefore, during these days, in order to film Lin Chengxun's "The Crucible" movie, Jin Huicheng directly closed the Ping An Restaurant and interfered with the crew's purchase. Even the chair under the director Lin Chengxun's buttocks, he clearly knew the price and
Account for it.
If an inexperienced person invests in movies as soon as he gets started, he will immediately know what cloth shoes and straw hats costing several thousand yuan look like, and he will be tempted to jump off the building if he loses money.
If it is said that literary and artistic films rip off investors' money, then the investors at least make a lot of money, right? And some filmmakers do not rip off investors' money, but directly make money from investors.
Speaking of which, it is very necessary to publicly execute a certain Chen Wuxia to make money. That is really cruel!
"Boy, is your teacher trying to trick you? Rental equipment is so expensive! Or did you and your teacher have a falling out? He bit you hard."
Xu Shuaili looked at the camera that Lin Chengxun was playing with in his arms, and his heart ached. Ever since he saw Jin Huicheng's small account book, he had been complaining non-stop.
"Excluding the equipment wear and tear fee, it is considered free. Teacher Bong Joon-ho is already very benevolent. After all, he is also a person who affiliates his studio to other companies to work. You should not mumble and say bad things behind people's backs."
Lin Chengxun was so familiar with playing with the digital camera in front of him. Without raising his head, he bent his waist and stretched out his four fingers to pull up the base of the digital camera. His technique was very skillful.
Xu Shuali and others were not surprised to see this. They knew that Lin Chengxun worked with Bong Joon-ho's crew as soon as he graduated from high school. He first served as a camera assistant, and then quickly advanced to the leader of the camera crew, and then moved forward until
He was recommended by Bong Joon-ho to direct a TV series independently. As a result, during the filming of the TV series, he was tricked and offended the screenwriter and entered the army to serve.
"Is this considered benevolent? Look at these people. They all look like uncles. Are they really here to make movies?" Xu Shuaili finally expressed his biggest dissatisfaction today.
The person Xu Shuali was referring to was the film crew that Lin Chengxun rented from the company affiliated with Bong Joon Ho's studio.
In addition to the directing team, which is handled by Lin Chengxun alone, the art team, camera team, recording team, and even the stage management, set workers, and chores are all seconded.
What is the standard number of people behind the scenes for a crew?
You can’t say for sure, depending on the scale of the movie production, for example, Bong Joon-ho’s “Han River Monster”, the crew was divided into more than a dozen groups to shoot in separate locations, totaling thousands of people, while Lim Sung-hoon’s “The Crucible” is a A low-cost movie does not need to be shot separately by multiple crews, but even so, except for their three brothers, there are about fifty members of the crew.
As the saying goes, where there are people, there is a world. It is one thing for the crew to be rented, but when it comes to the set, whether those people are working as staff or as bosses is another matter.
Furthermore, once they are in a bad mood, even if the movie starts shooting smoothly, they only need to slightly adjust the lighting. If there is a problem with the lighting, the movie will have a big problem, which will require reshoots and waste money.
Obviously, those here are a group of uncles.
Most industries in the peninsula follow seniority rules and capital rules; and Lin Chengxun happens to have neither of these. This has resulted in the fact that although the crew members are already in place, almost everyone regards Lin Chengxun as nothing and can talk to themselves. They were all bragging and flirting, and they all looked like they wanted to get the money and leave right away, and some even muttered slogans about how easy it is to ask God for help but hard to send God away.
But to be honest, this posture is still very intimidating. At least it will make one person frown.
"Second brother, what should I do? Everyone is making trouble." Jin Huicheng came over with a gloomy face. He had just contacted the crew, but looking at their expressions, it was clear that the result of the contact was very bad.
"Everyone? Not really. Aren't a few of them having a good time?" Lin Chengxun smiled and pointed. Xiao Jiyeon and Jung Soo-jung got along very well there. It seemed that Jung Soo-jing was complaining about Ernie stealing her. She was talking about topics such as her pocket money, and Xiao Zhiyan was giving her advice.
Next to them are actors who have nothing to do with themselves, such as So Ji-sub, Jang Kwang, etc.
"Stop making trouble and think of a solution."
"The solution? Giving them a salary increase should be the only solution now." Lin Chengxun smiled helplessly. The current situation cannot be solved by suddenly showing some domineering aura. There was a cold light in his squinted eyes, low and low. He glanced at the time.
"Salary increase?" Jin Huicheng estimated the cost, shook his head helplessly, gritted his teeth and was about to communicate with the crew again, but Lin Chengxun grabbed his shoulder.
"Don't worry, I'll pick someone up."
Lin Chengxun said with a smile, a smile on his lips, but his smiling eyes gave Jin Huicheng a chill.
As Lin Chengxun strolled out of the set, the crew's laughter became louder and louder, and Lin Chengxun could clearly hear words such as "What does this little kid know about making movies?"
...
"Oh Mo, Zhiyan, your oppa seems to have been bullied. Isn't it impossible to make the movie?"
Zheng Xiujing, who was seeking advice from Xiao Zhiyan in the corner, was also affected by the noisy sound. After listening for a while, she, who was extremely precocious, understood what was going on, and immediately became anxious about her fate, knowing that she had already The salary for this movie has been arranged properly, and it is a slightly expensive star peripheral. Originally, her pocket money was enough for her to buy things, but who hasn't shown off a prodigal woman? Although the prodigal woman in her family The son took away her pocket money and ruined the family.
Alas, having such a sister makes twelve-year-old Zheng Xiujing very melancholy.
...
The conversation was divided into two parts. People who were close to Lin Chengxun naturally frowned with melancholy because of this disorganized crew, but the seconded crew members on the other side were getting more and more proud. It seemed that they and others were going to get a raise again.
As for why I say "again"? Because it's not the first time this crew has been seconded.
...
It was only three minutes before Lin Sung-hoon left. The sound in the crew became more and more noisy. Some people even took out poker and flower cards to entertain the public. Su Ji-sub on the side sighed slightly with disappointment and planned to discuss it with his agent.
How can I help? He is really excited about this script; while veteran Zhang Guang and others are used to such scenes and sit firmly on the Diaoyutai without moving; the agent temporarily dispatched by S Company to take care of Zheng Xiujing is also hesitant.
Do I need to contact the company to see if I will not participate in the movie this time?
At this moment, near the exit of the set, the noise began to weaken, and then the weakening spread like the fragrance of flowers, following Lin Chengxun and the fat middle-aged man wearing glasses next to him, and spread throughout the set.
Gradually, the set became quiet, and every crew member stood up silently, with their backs straight, and looked respectfully at the fat middle-aged man who walked in.
"Haha, this is my disciple's first time making a movie. Let me take a look. You can just pretend that I don't exist." The middle-aged fat man wearing glasses, that is, Bong Joon-ho, said this, and after speaking, he took the little horse he had brought.
He swung towards the center of the theater and sat on a pony, squinting his eyes like Tathagata Buddha in the West. The whole studio became quiet because of him.
