Hengdian Film and Television City, Capital City filming location!
Even in Hengdian, the wind was biting at this time, but Wu Jianye was more relieved that it didn't snow here, which saved a lot of trouble. If it snowed, he would have to wait until the afternoon to shoot.
Yes, we need to give the cleaning staff time to clean up here.
When I was on the phone with Zhu Xie last night, I learned that it was snowing heavily in Yanjing, and the entire Forty-Nine City was covered in white snowflakes, like a city of ice and snow.
On the "Eternal Night" crew, there were still nearly a hundred people waiting in the cold wind for Wu Jianye to arrive and start filming. Some people couldn't help but jump their feet and rub their hands to keep warm because of the weather.
Wu Jianye arrived at the scene on time. Wu Jianye, who was wearing a military coat, looked a bit slovenly. Tan Yang, who followed behind, also wore a military coat, but came over with a large sack in his hand. Everyone saw that Tan Yang was holding
The big sack looked a little curious, not knowing what was inside.
Wu Jianye came to the center of the venue. Everyone thought Wu Jianye was going to announce the shooting. However, Wu Jianye took a loudspeaker and shouted to everyone: "Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. First of all, I wish everyone a Happy New Year!"
"
In fact, the crew had already said Happy New Year to each other last night, but now that Wu Jianye said Happy New Year to everyone so formally, everyone naturally shouted: Happy New Year!
"In China, red envelopes are given out on the first day of the Lunar New Year. Today, everyone is gathered here for the movie "Eternal Night." As the director of this movie, I naturally have to give out red envelopes to everyone. I would like to thank you all.
I was able to work hard with the crew during the New Year period, but as everyone knows, I invested most of the money in the special effects of the movie, so this red envelope is not that big.
Let’s celebrate!”
Everyone laughed and said: It doesn't matter, it's good to get the red envelope!
The extras who were preparing to shoot next to them showed envious expressions. No one expected that Wu Jianye would give red envelopes to the crew on the first day of the new year. Although Wu Jianye said that the money was not much,
But no matter what, it’s always good to get red envelopes.
"Let's go, come back later. It doesn't matter to us if they give out red envelopes. Let's come back and shoot after they finish giving out red envelopes!" Some extras said in amusement.
Standing here and watching the formal actors and behind-the-scenes staff receiving red envelopes, they still feel a little unbalanced.
The other extras also showed helpless expressions. The difference between the extras and the main actors was so obvious.
The group of performers in twos and threes are preparing to leave the scene. Since you have no part in it, don't envy others here, otherwise you will still be jealous when you see others getting money.
"What are you people doing?" Wu Jianye stood in the middle of the crowd, looking at the extras of the crew who were about to leave and shouted: "Why don't you plan to take my red envelope?"
The extras who were about to leave immediately stopped in their tracks. No one thought that they would be included in the red envelope given out by Wu Jianye today.
"Today, you are filming in my crew, that is, I am the actor Wu Jianye. Regardless of whether you are an extra or a main actor, you will receive red envelopes. I hope that the New Year's red envelopes can bring you good luck and that you will be able to do so in the future.
Become a good actor." Wu Jianye shouted.
"Long live Director Wu!"
The extras who reacted couldn't help but cheer. They have been in Hengdian for a while, and here they can fully feel that class is everywhere. No crew has ever really regarded them as actors, let alone the crew.
The director, even a crew member, could yell at them, but there was nothing they could do.
Now Wu Jianye is here to tell them that both the extras and the main actors will receive red envelopes. At this time, the number in the red envelope is no longer important. What is important is that they feel Wu Jianye's respect. This kind of respect is precisely
What they need most.
Everyone wants to have a good start at the beginning of this new year!
"But I have something to say up front. If you get the red envelope, you have to perform well for me. If someone has a problem during filming, I will scold them!" Wu Jianye pointed at the extras after speaking.
One of the men said: "Chen Fang, don't look at other people. I'm talking about you. When we were filming the past two days, I remembered that you were the one who made me fuck you twice. If it weren't for the fact that you have some talent, I wouldn't have done it."
Have someone drive you away!"
The man who was pointed and scolded by Wu Jianye was wearing a Tang Dynasty ordinary people's clothing, with a red face.
But what's more exciting is that he is just the most ordinary person in the group, but now he actually allows a director like Wu Jianye to remember his name. Even if he is scolded, he is very happy. The most important thing is that Wu Jianye
To say that he is spiritual is a very high compliment.
"Thank you, Director Wu. I will work hard in the future and definitely live up to your expectations!" Chen Fang shouted loudly.
The other extras looked at Chen Fang with envy.
They also hope to be remembered by Wu Jianye.
At this time, Tan Yang had already started handing out red envelopes with sacks, and with him were the entire production crew and martial arts instructors.
Everyone received a red envelope in their hands, and there was no difference in thickness.
When it was Chen Fang's turn, Chen Fang also said to Tan Yang with excitement: "Thank you, Brother Tan!"
Tan Yang smiled habitually and said nothing, and continued to hand out red envelopes.
As Wu Jianye said, whether it was an extra, a leading actor, or the behind-the-scenes team, they all received a red envelope. Some people couldn't help but curiously opened the red envelope and found that there was only one banknote in it, but each extra
There was a smile on everyone's face because this was a hundred dollar bill!
Their daily salary on weekdays is only 10 yuan. Although the crew raised the price during the two days of the New Year, it is not much. Now they can get a one-time salary of 100 yuan, which is really unexpected for them.
Harvested.
Then when these extras saw that the leading actors and the crew behind the scenes were getting the same amount as them, which was 100 yuan, their thoughts changed.
Wu Jianye was about to give them red envelopes just now, and everyone felt respected. However, at that time, they also subconsciously believed that even if they were giving out red envelopes, there should be a difference between them and the leading actors.
For example, the male and female leading actors are on the same level, the main actors are on the same level, the ordinary actors with lines are on the same level, and then there are group performances like them.
But now that I saw that everyone had the same number of red envelopes, the feeling in my heart became even stronger.
Some thoughtful people immediately calculated how many red envelopes Wu Jianye had given out this time. Looking at the scene of more than 300 people at the scene, they immediately calculated that it must be at least more than 30,000.
Although prices have skyrocketed in the past two years, more than 30,000 yuan is still not a small amount.
At this time, many of the extras were thinking in their hearts that they must perform well when the official filming begins, and they must not delay Director Wu's filming.
At this time, Tan Yang and others had also finished handing out red envelopes and returned to Wu Jianye. Wu Jianye took the loudspeaker and emphasized again: "Okay, put all the red envelopes away, and now the official shooting begins.
Let me tell you, you have short hands, now that you have all taken my red envelope, you have to behave well in a while, if anyone does not behave well, I will really scold them!"
Everyone said yes. As for Wu Jianye's temper, over the past month or so, everyone had already gotten used to it. They knew that Wu Jianye would not tolerate any disdain in his eyes during the filming process, even if the male and female leading actors did not perform well.
He also cursed when he opened his mouth. Some time ago, everyone was filming Wu Jianye's scene with great trepidation, for fear of making mistakes.
But it's different now. They remind themselves more that they must perform well!
Seeing the excitement among the crowd, Zhao Fei gave Wu Jianye a thumbs up and went to prepare for the shooting.
Giving red envelopes to the extras was not because Wu Jianye had a heart attack. It was mainly because Wu Jianye was too strict about details when filming some time ago, which also led to some extras often making some vulgar mistakes.
made a mistake, which made Wu Jianye very helpless. This is done now to improve their enthusiasm.
At the beginning, Zhao Fei did not agree very much. In his opinion, if this group of extras was not good, then he would just replace it with the next group. Now Hengdian is not short of extras.
But Wu Jianye knows very well, who can guarantee that the next batch of group performers will perform better than the current batch?
More than 30,000 yuan was spent in exchange for their efforts, which will reduce the waste of film. It is definitely a very worthwhile business.
The subsequent filming went exactly as Wu Jianye expected. The performance of the extras also improved to a higher level, and the number of mistakes was reduced.
In fact, the performance of the extras as a whole does not make a big impression on the whole movie, but the unprofessional performance of some extras will bring great irritation to the audience at certain times.
Feeling of detachment.
Wu Jianye watched a TV series before, it was an anti-war drama, and it was also a TV series with a very high Douban rating. Wu Jianye, who was originally very happy to follow the TV series, saw an experimental RB soldier in the screen.
, while advancing with the troops, holding a gun in one hand and putting the other hand in his pocket, his careless look instantly made Wu Jianye's previous sense of involvement in the TV series disappear completely!
Not to mention the scenes in martial arts dramas where the watch is exposed on the wrist when doing kung fu, and the scene in the palace drama where the emperor holds a cigarette in his hand after the morning court.
Well now, 20,000 yuan has solved all this. It is definitely a very cost-effective thing for Wu Jianye.
But sometimes, you really can't be too happy. Countless facts have proven that the happier you are, the easier it is to make mistakes.
Just when the filming of the movie started, not long after, an extra actor took his performance too seriously and fell from the restaurant on the second floor. He failed to control his body and injured his arm.
Wu Jianye quickly got up and came to the scene.
The injured extra covered his arm, lay on the ground and screamed in pain.
"Doctor!" Guan Xi shouted immediately from the side.
Wu Jianye's crew is always accompanied by doctors who accompany the crew, and this time is naturally no exception.
The doctor ran over, checked it, and said: "It's dislocated. There's no way to go out!"
It's not that he has other roles, it's mainly because he didn't get past the one just now.
Wu Jianye had no choice but to replace an extra.
I don’t know if it was the influence of the injured extra actor just now, but several extra actors were replaced and their performances were not up to par. Wu Jianye was really helpless at this time.
He could see that these extras were working very hard to perform well, but sometimes talent really determined everything.
"Liu Xiaojiang!" Wu Jianye shouted loudly.
Liu Xiaojiang immediately ran to Wu Jianye's side: "Director Wu."
"Find some more extras!" Wu Jianye shouted.
Liu Xiaojiang looked embarrassed. It was during the New Year period, and there were not many extras in Hengdian. In addition, there were other crews filming here, so it was a bit difficult to find a few to come over temporarily.
At this time, Principal Gu saw Liu Xiaojiang's difficulties from the side, came to Wu Jianye, and said softly: "Director Wu, I do have a candidate?"
"Then call him quickly!" Wu Jianye didn't think much.
Principal Gu did not waste any time and said to Liu Xiaojiang: "I used to know a group actor named Qian Chunsheng. I feel that he has a similar body shape. Why not call him over and give it a try."
Liu Xiaojiang recalled it, and immediately thought of who Qian Chunsheng was, and said quickly: "I know, I will go find him now!"
At this time, Qian Chunsheng was filming in the Ming and Qing Palace Gardens. The Ming and Qing Palace Gardens were not far from the capital. The story about the crew of "Eternal Night" giving red envelopes to extra actors also reached here.
Qian Chunsheng and others couldn't help but feel envious.
Thinking about my situation here, not to mention red envelopes, even the salary for today's filming has not increased.
This group of people had just finished shooting and were changing clothes when they saw Liu Xiaojiang running over not far away.
At this time, Liu Xiaojiang's reputation in Hengdian was no worse than those of big stars, so when everyone saw Liu Xiaojiang, they stood up quickly, regardless of age, and called him: Brother Liu!
Liu Xiaojiang ran up to Qian Chunsheng and others in rough clothes, pointed at Qian Chunsheng and said: "Old Qian, come with me quickly. Director Wu has a scene that needs actors. Principal Gu recommended you, and now everyone is waiting for you.
Woolen cloth!"
Qian Chunsheng looked at Liu Xiaojiang in disbelief. Just now, he was envious of the extras over there, but he didn't expect that a good thing would really happen to him.
The people next to Qian Chunsheng also looked at Qian Chunsheng with envy.
"Brother Qian, what you said yesterday is true. Did you really see Principal Gu?"
After leaving the wonton stall yesterday, Qian Chunsheng told his fellow villagers that he met Principal Gu and chatted for a few words. They didn't believe it yet, but now they heard Liu Xiaojiang say that Principal Gu recommended Qian Chunsheng to participate in Wu Jianye's movie.
Shooting, then there is no way not to believe it!
When Qian Chunsheng wanted to say something else, Liu Xiaojiang was already urging him: "Don't be stunned, hurry up, Director Wu is still waiting!"
