In August, when the weather was the hottest, Xiao Qian went to Yuzhou.
In the capital, preparations for the panel were in full swing. But he, the initiator, was driven away.
The semiconductor industry is important and sensitive, so Li Zhen strictly prohibited him from getting involved personally.
This was not only Li Zhen’s idea, but the No. 2 leader also played a key role.
In the words of the No. 2 leader, Xiao Qian's status as a leader in the entertainment and culture industry makes it easier for him to act.
Xiao Qian was a little unhappy at first, until the powerful man sent by Chief No. 2 appeared in front of him, and then he thought about the powerful man's daughter who would be trapped in Canada in the future, and he felt relieved.
The soundtrack for "Lord of the Rings" ended successfully. Xiao Qian handed the CD to someone to carry it and went directly to the United States.
He also left the capital and went south to Yuzhou to pay attention to the filming of "Crazy Stone".
The preliminary preparations here are almost complete, and the training of various actors is nearing completion.
Xiao Qian's arrival is the signal to start filming.
"We have obtained permission from the local government and the sewer under Luohan Temple can be used."
Xiao Qian was really shocked when he heard Ning Han's madness.
"No, you still want to use real sewers?"
Ning Han didn't know why.
"Wouldn't it be better to be more real?"
Xiao Qian asked back.
"Then have you gone down to see it?"
Yue Xiaojun shook his head.
"not yet."
Xiao Qian was furious.
"You haven't done any on-site inspections, so you want to come directly. Have you considered the feelings of the actors? There must be problems in the sewers of this old city. It will affect the normal filming. Wouldn't it be more troublesome?"
Ning Han, Yue Xiaojun and others were scolded so hard that they could not hold their heads up.
"Then...what should we do?"
"What should I do? There is no space, so hurry up and work overtime."
Really, you’re not short of money, so you can’t even think of this?
When shooting a movie, problems arise one after another and are numerous.
Even with Xiao Qian's interference, the same thing would happen.
The better part is that Starlight's props team, costume team, and makeup team are very professional. As long as the director makes a request, they can quickly come up with a satisfactory plan.
The looks of several leading actors have been successfully approved.
After Xiao Qian arrived, the first thing he reviewed was the budget.
"No, each extra is only given 100 yuan a day. You guys are really stingy. They also have dancing roles, aren't you afraid of a strike?"
Xiao Qian found the coordinator and was scolded again.
The extras in the handicraft factory in the movie were all locals, and the wages given by the coordinator were so cheap that Xiao Qian was dumbfounded.
"Two things need to be changed. The extras with dance scenes are charged 150 per day. The second place, the standard for packed lunches, is mentioned at 25. You have to take care of this matter yourself. If I find something fishy, then you
You don’t have to do this anymore. Do you understand?”
Xiao Qian scolded and threatened, and the little girl in charge cried and ran away after agreeing.
"Xu Tiezheng, this is not enough for you, you have to gain weight. Do you think any big boss is as skinny as a monkey? You have no aura at all."
Xu Tiezheng came to report, but Xiao Qian took one look and was dissatisfied.
"Next, you still have ten days to work. Eat a lot of fish and meat every day, mainly to get high blood pressure. Do you understand?"
Xu Tiezheng was so helpless that he went to eat meat.
"What did you do with this shooting plan? How did you learn it in the first place? Have you studied the movement and time of all the shooting locations? If you want to shoot at Luohan Temple, you should focus on shooting, and other places should also focus on shooting. This can save money.
Time, you know? We’ve paid enough for the venue fee, so don’t worry about running out of time.”
When I was filming "Crazy Stone" in my previous life, because funds were very tight, I had to struggle with time and location. As a result, the filming was stumbling, and the scene that could have been filmed in three or two days took more than half a month to film.
After Xiao Qian's intervention, the overall shooting was significantly adjusted.
As soon as it starts, I gather all the scattered parts of the scene together and prepare to live together.
One advantage of shooting fragmentary scenes first is that you can slowly bring the whole crew into the atmosphere of the scene, and when you focus on shooting later, you can quickly capture the feeling.
The first scene in the original version of Stone is when Bao Shihong visits Bangbang and gives them gifts and warnings, which makes people who watch it smile knowingly.
"Mr. Xiao, Baleno said that they don't want costume money, but also want sponsorship. They just need the actors in the play to wear Baleno-based costumes."
In the play, Hei Pi's line "Baleno, brand" is also a classic quote.
When Xiao Qian decided to seek sponsorship from BMW and Coca-Cola, the producer used this line to find Baleno.
When the other party heard that it was a movie by Starlight and written by Xiao Qian, without saying a word, he not only happily sponsored the clothes, but also wanted to use the sponsorship fee to create a bigger advertisement.
"You should ask about the costumes and see if there are any problems with the costumes in other aspects of the movie. If not, then agree. If not, then forget it."
Xiao Qian arrived in Yuzhou on August 3 and made preparations, and the filming of the movie officially started on August 17.
In fact, making a small-market film like this is no less troublesome than a blockbuster film.
Because the plot in the market must conform to the reality that everyone knows.
You can't turn the situation in the market into a science fiction movie, otherwise it will be a drama.
Just like the scene where Bao Shihong goes to visit Bangbang'er.
"The lights here are too bright."
Xiao Qian and Ning Han walked around the studio, neither of them were satisfied.
"Look at this alley. The lighting is basically natural light. This is the basic situation of the place. But you have put so many light bulbs around it and made it look like a palace. Is this justified?"
Directors of photography have their say.
"The light here is seriously insufficient. If we don't add lights, the photos will be all dark."
Xiao Qian thought of a way.
"Let's put the light on the camera and use direct light to shoot. This way we can capture people clearly without affecting the darkness of the surrounding environment."
The photography and director team rushed to get it done.
They found a large bundle of tape, then tied a flashlight to the camera, and took a look. Oh, it's really good.
Guo Tao learned the Yuzhou dialect very quickly and made everyone feel at ease as soon as he got started.
The purpose of filming this scene first was also to test Guo Tao's language problems.
He is the male protagonist. As long as there is no problem with him, there will be no problem with other aspects.
Xingguang's professionalism made the shooting very fast, and all the fragmentary scenes were shot in just one week.
Next comes the big part, which is the section of Luohan Temple.
"Brother Han, you have to use real clay. We tested the prop clay and it looks very fake in the camera."
Xiao Qian was like a devil, saying words that made Li Xiaohan want to cry without tears.
“Where is the real mud?”
Li Xiaohan hesitated for a moment and decided to accept.
Among the films he has filmed over the years, this one has the most roles and the most enjoyable performance, so I accept that I have to make some sacrifices.
"Isn't that what it is?"
Xiao Qian pointed at the mud next to her and smiled like a devil.
Li Xiaohan came over, picked up a handful, put it to his nose and smelled it.
"Damn, this stinks too much."
But as soon as he turned around, he told the makeup artist: "Come on, just apply it."
Liu Hua watched from the side and couldn't help but sigh.
"I thought that an actor as big as Li Xiaohan would be very picky. Unexpectedly, when it comes to enduring hardships, he is better than any of us. He will definitely succeed and become a great actor."
When Xiao Qian heard this, he couldn't help but pout.
"What kind of actor is he in front of me?"
But looking back, when facing Li Xiaohan, his expression should be as flattering as possible.
"Brother Han, you are not far from becoming the five billion movie star."
"Five billion?"
Li Xiaohan curled his lips with a look of disbelief.
"If I were worth five billion, would I still do this?"
There was nothing too difficult about the entire filming of the movie.
Unlike the group of people in the previous life, they almost collapsed.
The reason why it went so smoothly was because of Xingguang's money-making ability.
When the car crash scene was being filmed, the person in charge of BMW China came in person.
I watched BMW hit one car after another without blinking an eye.
"Do you have enough cars? If not, we will transfer them to you from the nearest 4S store."
If Ning Hao in his previous life heard this sentence, he would probably cry on the spot.
Since Bao Bao was upright, Xiao Qian was polite.
"Paul, let me give you a suggestion. You can keep only one of these crashed BMWs, and then you can put it in your vehicle museum. This will be a sign and attract a lot of people to you.
customer."
ps: Station B has behind-the-scenes footage of Shitou's shooting. You can go and see how difficult it was at that time!
