Chapter 401 What? The assistant director also does chores?
After the first act of "Westward Journey" ended, Lu Yihong left.
The "Assembly" side was very busy, and it was at a critical moment, so he really couldn't delay it for too long.
Lu Yuan looked at Lu Yihong's back and remembered Lu Yihong's words...
Lu Yihong's words made Lu Yuan feel very painful.
He felt that when Lu Yihong described himself in front of Chen Xia, it would never be as simple as he described it to him.
He must be describing himself as a heinous and reviled scumbag.
Otherwise, why would Chen Xia's eyes and voice be so perfect during the filming?
However, Lu Yuan was so hurt that he couldn't say anything...
The first act was shot over two days.
Two days later, Chen Xia's role was finally over.
Of course, although the plot of showing her face is over, she has not left.
She continued to stay in Lu Yuan's crew as an extra to make up the money. After all, there were many extras in "Westward Journey", and Lu Yuan felt that many actors could be reused.
The average extra actor's daily salary is about 30 yuan, and the salary for those who show their face is slightly more, 60 yuan.
Chen Xia's salary is the highest among the extras, at 260 yuan a day.
Why?
Because in addition to being a group performer like everyone else, Chen Xia also does some chores, such as cleaning the set, washing props, and helping to set up the scene. In short, she does all the work she can do, every day
They would stay in bed until they were exhausted.
In fact, doing so much work with a salary of 260 yuan is actually a bit of a loss.
But Chen Xia didn't feel any grievance. Instead, she felt very honored.
after all……
The heroine Xu Lu is also doing some work that does not belong to her.
Chen Xia discovered that Lu Yuan's crew was really completely different from other crews.
This crew is really weird.
The other crews were very cold and cold. After filming, everyone was busy with their own business and there was basically no time for communication. However, this crew was very humane.
In other words, except for the big shot like Mr. Lu, everyone else in the crew can do some work more or less.
for example……
Assistant director Li Qi.
Li Qi is awesome, right?
Yes.
After the filming of "This Man Came From Earth", Li Qi instantly became famous and became a rising star in the directing world. Many media even evaluated Li Qi as the hope of future science fiction films!
Such a character is worthy of courtesy even if he goes to Tianyu, right?
but……
In this crew, Chen Xia felt that although Li Qi had the title of assistant director, he was more like a handyman.
Have you ever seen an assistant director get up early in the morning and set up the scene with others?
Have you ever seen an assistant director occasionally do some cleaning work?
In short, Chen Xia has never been seen before.
Then, when Wei Wuji came over, Chen Xia felt even more subversive.
Who is Wei Wuji?
Just won the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Award for Best Director!
This status is so incredible, who would call him Director Wei when he sees it, or slap him for flattery?
But……
Such a great director actually eats the same box lunch as everyone else.
and……
Chen Xia even saw Wei Wuji following behind Lu Yuan and helping Lu Yuan carry props.
If Chen Xia hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Chen Xia would have even thought this was the most ridiculous thing in the entire entertainment industry.
but……
This kind of absurdity actually appeared on the set.
So as a small actor with no status in the crew, how can Chen Xia not work hard? Not only Chen Xia, but basically everyone in the crew is working, and the efficiency is also very fast.
………………………………
Lu Yuan didn't think there was anything wrong with everyone's work.
Not only did Lu Yuan not feel anything was wrong, but even Fatty Wei, Li Qi, and others did not feel anything was wrong with their work.
They have thoroughly regarded "remote" entertainment as a whole.
Well, it can be said that "remote" has become their home.
What's wrong with doing some work around the house?
This is normal, isn't it?
Fatty Wei has been quite happy recently.
Although Fatty Wei could be muddled sometimes, he followed Lu Yuan and built the company up little by little.
He is very affectionate towards this company.
Moreover, Wu Tingting has been supervising Fatty Wei recently.
She taught Fatty Wei every day that men should not be lazy. At the same time, she used words to bully Fatty Wei and asked him to lose weight with her...
Fatty Wei is sometimes not afraid of anything else, but after meeting Wu Tingting, he becomes inexplicably intimidated.
Whenever Wu Tingting gave him a smile, he would be happy all day long, just like a fool.
In addition, he is used to working in the company. After he came to Lu Yuan's crew, he was so crowded out by Wu Tingting. He was so serious about his work!
Seeing that Fatty Wei, the best director, is working so hard...
Who else dares to be lazy?
This is a very strange virtuous cycle.
………………………………
August 12th.
clear.
The sky is filled with wind and sand.
Qin Ya walked out of the wind and sand alone and silently.
Her current name is Chun Sansanniang.
A weak woman is actually very inconsistent in this vast land.
However, this sense of dissonance just exaggerates a very mysterious and dangerous flavor.
Qin Ya had been preparing for this role for a long time. In fact, when she officially started filming, she felt that she had really grasped the flavor of this role.
Lu Yuan is a very strict director, as she knows from Chen Xia's case.
Therefore, she always reminds herself to handle every detail in place without making any mistakes. At the same time, every action analyzes the character's psychology...
The sun shines silently on her face...
She walked into the bandits' den in Wuyue Mountain.
Then she showed a smile and looked at the group of robbers with ferocious faces. She was full of momentum and had a very mysterious feeling.
When peach blossoms pass by, not a blade of grass will grow, money will fall to the ground, and people will not be saved.
That's her.
Yes, she was going to show this kind of indescribable momentum. At the same time, she felt that this spring lady should be such a person.
She felt that Chun Sanniang should be a little arrogant and also a little disdainful. Of course, the disdain must be a little bit ridiculing.
Lu Yuan looked at Qin Ya under the camera.
His expression was very calm, he stared at every detail of her carefully, and then compared it with the person in his memory.
There are certain differences in details, and there are also certain differences in the expressions when speaking lines.
but……
However, Lu Yuan did not think that she was not good at acting. Instead, she interpreted the role of Spring Thirty Niang in a different way.
Every move and every smile brings his own understanding of the character.
Although he was a little different from the person in his memory, Lu Yuan did not directly interrupt her.
She performed in different flavors.
Oh shit!
I spent 150,000 yuan to pick up a big treasure.
It's money well spent!
"Card!"
but……
The momentum when he first appeared was very good, but his control afterward was a bit weaker.
After all, Qin Ya was still a little young. After Lu Yuan interrupted, he shook his head and began to describe the movements that Qin Ya needed to pay attention to, as well as the character's personality and expression...
Qin Ya looked at Lu Yuan silently.
She found that Lu Yuan had a much deeper grasp of the role of Chun Sanniang than she did.
She originally thought that her understanding of this character was no problem, but after Lu Yuanyi explained it, she suddenly realized that her understanding was indeed somewhat biased...
Then, Qin Ya suddenly had a feeling.
If Mr. Lu is asked to play the role of Spring Thirty-nine Lady, wouldn’t it be...
Bah, bah!
The picture was so beautiful that she couldn't even imagine it.
…………………………
It's another night.
There is moonlight.
Lu Yuan stayed alone in the temporary office and looked at various shooting data and reports.
He closed his eyes slightly.
The filming progress of "Westward Journey" is much faster than Lu Yuan imagined.
Lu Yuan originally thought that the film would take at least half a year to shoot.
After all, people like Qin Ya are new actors, so many aspects may not be ideal, and there must be some shortcomings.
But since Qin Ya appeared, Lu Yuan found that he had completely gone astray.
There are always some geniuses in this world. For example, Xu Lu is a genius in acting. When filming "Groundhog Day", Lu Yuan found that Xu Lu could do with a little attention in many places!
Now, there is another Qin Ya among this genius.
These two people are really very worry-free.
In fact, the requirements for the acting skills of the heroines in "Westward Journey" are quite high, so Lu Yuan feels that the biggest problem during the filming of "Westward Journey" is the issue of the actresses...
Now……
These problems are no longer problems.
It took about five days from the beginning of the shooting to now.
Lu Yuan calculated the expenses for five days and found that this calculation was quite economical.
After including lunch boxes and various expenses in five days, Lu Yuan probably spent around 200,000 yuan.
Well, an average of 40,000 per day.
If you calculate it like this, even if you add the actors' remuneration in the future, you can probably film it for less than 10 million?
Right!
There are also special effects.
Special effects are also a huge expense.
However, although the expenditure on special effects is not small, no matter how much it is wasted, it will not be a waste of more than 20 million, right?
So, with all your calculations, this movie will really cost around 30 million?
Lu Yuan scratched his head.
So with a 100 million advertising sponsorship, can I still make a net profit of 70 million after the entire movie is shot?
this……
It’s a bit comfortable!
sleep sleep...
Just when Lu Yuan was about to go to bed, he suddenly heard someone shouting in the distance?
Wait, there was a fight?
Lu Yuan frowned, then walked out of the room, and then walked away looking for the sound.
There was a big stone at the end of the road. Beside the big stone, Lu Yuan saw a group of people surrounding it...
"Old Huang, that's awesome!"
"One more song!"
"Haha, one more song!"
"Does anyone know how to play the erhu? If so, can we help?"
"Ha ha!"
Lu Yuan, who was all the way away, heard Fatty Wei yelling at his throat.
Suona?
Erhu?
etc!
like……
Forehead……
Can't remember.
Lu Yuan hesitated for a moment and stopped after hearing these two instruments.
Something seemed to flash in his mind.
But……
The thing that flashed by was gone in an instant.
Then Lu Yuan shook his head and continued walking towards the crowd.
