Well, a few people first came to Huangsha County on the Loess Plateau. But after he got off the train at this time, Director Li said: "Huangsha County here is not where we filmed. The conditions here are not bad now.
But there is no coal mine here. The coal mine is in Baishi County, a smaller county nearby.
In fact, Shiraishi is even poorer. It can basically be described as a bird that has no shit. It has no sense of existence on the map. Even if you use a magnifying glass to look for it, it is not easy to find Shiraishi County.
The place in Baishui County was indeed a place that grandma didn't care about and uncle didn't love. However, some people later discovered that the coal mines had become a little more popular, which attracted some people's attention.
But, to be honest, the place of Shiraishi is still very poor. Even if there is a small coal mine, the foundation of that place is weak and the economic development is relatively weak. So, well, although the coal mine was discovered,
However, the overall economy has not developed very much, but there are a few people there, because the Luffa Small Coal Mine has become rich, but most of the people who have become rich have moved away, and few stay in Baishi County.
Over there.
Well, of course, these have nothing to do with us. We are going to make a movie, so we just need to find a place to shoot the movie. As for Baishi County, various conditions are more suitable for our movie needs.
So it’s better for us to go there first. As for us, we first take the bus to the Baishi Line, and then we take a donkey cart for more than an hour, and then we can go to the small coal mine we have decided to shoot.
Already.
Of course, we will first stop at Shiraishi, where we will stop for a while and let everyone get used to the environment.
There, if there are some outdoor scenes, you can complete your own filming.
Also, we will find some love we need there, and then after shooting the exterior scenes, we will directly shoot the core parts and go to the coal mine to participate in the shooting.
Okay, that's about it. If you need to buy anything, I think you'd better buy it here, because when you get to Shiroishi Line, it won't be said whether you can buy it or not, but the price will definitely be higher.
.
OK, if there are any problems here, you can come to me directly, or you can go to the Hadron Army. Anyway, there are only 5 people in our crew, right? Let’s unite and strive to make this movie
Well done.
Give everyone half an hour. In half an hour, we will go to the bus station.
If you want to buy something, there is a big supermarket nearby where you can go. If you don't want to buy something, you can wait for half an hour."
It seems that Director Li is not very familiar with this place. He has probably been here more than once. This is the clear door.
Ye Ming said that he was ready and there was nothing to buy. However, Haitang rushed out in a hurry. He probably underestimated the level of poverty here.
Even though this place is already so poor, the director's intention here in Huangsha County is that the industry in Baishi County is richer.
Once you arrive at the Shiroishi Line, you may indeed have some things you want to buy but cannot buy, so Haitang mainly goes directly to the large supermarket near the gate.
At this time, Xiao Jun said with some worry: "Director, to be honest, I saw along the way that this Haitang girl is not a fuel-efficient person. I can tell from one look that she is a person who is used to enjoying herself.
Let him follow us and we go to Baishi County to shoot a movie. I am not worried about the location. There should be no big problem for a professional actor to shoot the location. This is easy to talk about. But, after all, we are not just
Said it only had this content.
And what about the content of the small coal mine? Think about how hard it is there. If we follow in, will the heroine be willing to follow at this time? Although she doesn’t have to go into the mine,
But we still have to go to the small coal mines.
I think it’s better to talk about this in advance.
That place is really hard, let alone a girl’s family, even for us men it’s not particularly easy to persevere.”
Director Li shook his head and said: "Anyway, I told her this in advance. I said the shooting conditions were very difficult. I asked her and she confirmed it. She said she would definitely cooperate with our shooting. What did the actors have to endure?
It's not a big deal, just treat it as a kind of training in life. Otherwise, with her temper, do you think I would want her?
That's impossible. I've already told him that the conditions are difficult. Anyway, he is mentally prepared now. Don't worry, when the time comes, we will complete the filming very quickly.
If you don't want to shoot her first, you can also finish shooting his. Then, let's talk about other things. Things like going down a well must be done. She doesn't have to do it, but it's impossible for others not to do it.
If you don't shoot underground, then the movie will be imperfect and have no soul. Only by going underground and shooting the movie "Black Mine" can you truly find your soul.
Okay, let’s overcome any difficulties, right? Let’s make progress together and strive to make a good movie.”
Not long after, Haitang came over with big and small bags of things, including a package of cosmetics and snacks, etc., and he really went shopping hard.
The old bus swayed to Baishi Bus Station. It was actually a bus station without walls, which shows how difficult the conditions here are.
Baishi County is indeed very poor. There is only one big commercial street. Calling this street a commercial street is a bit flattering. However, it can be said that this is the only shopping street in the county, which is relatively decent. Of course, this
The phenomenon is also relative. The entire street is only about 200 meters long from east to west. There are two supermarkets, a hotel, an Internet cafe, and two or three clothing model stores. There is basically no commercial information in other places.
In short, this solid white line can be used to describe desolation in one sentence. Whether it is a supermarket, restaurant, or clothing store, they are all very shabby.
The only thing here that is comparable to that in Huangsha County is probably the Internet cafes here. They are pretty good Internet cafes. If you look carefully at the names, there are probably no less than 5 of them. Although there are only two Internet cafes on the surface, at least there are
There are three relatively hidden Internet cafes, which should be black Internet cafes.
Of course, there are also places with small pink lights on, so I won’t go into details about this.
This time, everyone didn’t stay in a hotel and couldn’t find a hotel here. It’s not like there aren’t any small hotels or something like that. However, in order to save money, Director Li rented a small courtyard. Anyway, the entire crew only has 5 people in a small courtyard, which is about the same.
It's just big enough for people to live in and there's room for equipment.
At this time, it was already dark. The crew of five people came in a hurry. It took about seven hours to get here from the capital, including the waiting time for the bus.
There was no serious eating, just traveling back and forth between the north and the south.
In fact, it is quite hard. This time, the director actually took the initiative to treat everyone to a meal. Although there is nothing good to eat here, but after all, there are half hard dishes on the table. Although the conditions
It was tough, but the first meal included chicken, duck, fish and so on.
One is to reward everyone, and the other is to give everyone a refreshment. This is a party before starting the machine.
At this time, Director Li stood up with a drink and said: "Everyone, the conditions are limited. Thank you for your hard work. Let's overcome it. When the filming is finished and we arrive in Beijing, I will treat everyone to a big hotel for a big meal. It will be considered as the completion of filming."
We have a banquet now. Because the conditions in this small place are relatively difficult, I really feel sorry for everyone. Today we have a good meal and a drink and the crew pays for it. Then, tomorrow we will officially start work. I hope that with everyone's cooperation, we can successfully complete the banquet.
This movie was made, thank you all."
This is the first time the director has mentioned hardship. To be honest, the conditions in the small courtyard this time are actually quite difficult.
This is not a film crew. It's almost like a beggar. In this small shabby yard, the entire crew does seem to be relatively low-income.
Haitang felt a little unhappy in his heart, but since he was new here, he was embarrassed to say too much to irritate everyone.
Now that the contract has been signed, he and she decided to endure it for the time being and wait and see what happens. However, as for what happens next, the conditions are indeed very difficult. Director Li is right about this.
Of course, there are no lights, sound engineers, etc. when shooting on location. The entire crew of professionals plus the male and female leads is only 5 people in total. Xiaojun is responsible for lighting, sound, etc., on-site
It's also Xiaojun's job to be the director of the drama.
As for the coercive person, he is responsible for contacting the outside world, and his general position in charge of external relations is equivalent to that of a production director.
Oh. And it’s mandatory to also be a photographer. Everyone in the show wears multiple hats.
Just like all crews, when we start shooting, of course we have to choose something relatively simple and easy to shoot.
This is also a period of adaptation and a running-in period for everyone.
This is basically the case for all crews. You can't shoot a big scene on the first day, otherwise you will definitely make yourself uncomfortable.
The black frame crew also had two more days. The director chose some relatively simple shots, but even if these relatively simple shots were shot, it would have been a lot of effort.
Because there are only two professional actors in the entire crew, namely Mingming and Haitang. The rest of the actors, whether they are supporting actors or light-faced actors, are all ordinary people recruited from the county. Think about ordinary people.
How difficult is it for people to make movies?
Movies are not as simple as what you see on the screen on TV. You can just stand in front of the camera and perform. If it were that simple, there would be no difference between a superstar and an ordinary actor.
It is not a simple matter for ordinary people to become an actor. Without a period of hard work and two or three years of being a bit player, it is almost impossible to figure out some things in the crew.
possible things.
Even if you want to have some confidence in front of the camera, you have to work as a bit player for at least half a year.
If you want to get familiar with it, it will take two or three years, so for a mature supporting role or Qing Yan, it basically takes two or three years to develop it.
In other words, what does it mean for a supporting cast to be mature? It means giving you the lines, and then telling you your moves and so on, so that you can cooperate with the director and skillfully complete your part in front of the camera.
, being able to shoot without delaying, this is called a more skilled supporting role and extras.
But if there are no movie theaters in Shiraishi County, you can basically watch movies on the TV.
Thinking about the extras here, it would be difficult to film to a certain extent. These extras are not very cooperative. In fact, it does not mean that they are deliberately uncooperative. Even if they want to cooperate, they do not have this ability.
experience of.
Not to mention mature extras and supporting actors, even those who have been in the industry for half a year are much better than them. Therefore, in almost two days, a total of three scenes were filmed.
You can imagine this speed. Anyway, this speed made Director Li almost mad. Not to mention the waste of film, it must have been a waste of film. Later, the director even asked everyone to act first
Twice. After you become proficient, you can start shooting officially and save some film, right? This thing is also quite expensive. You can’t turn it on every time and collect some unused junk lenses. That’s absolutely
It's a loss
Of course the director was in a bad mood at this time. The total amount was only 100,000 yuan, so it was a good deal to be able to make the whole movie last.
This is already a well-known calculation result. If you want to waste some more, for example, if you shoot at a shooting speed of 150,000, it is possible to shoot the entire movie.
So in such a situation, the director feels quite annoyed, but the judges and supporting actors are not cooperative. They are not professional actors and have little acting experience. You cannot make them look like professionals.
The actors are equally cooperative.
So, at this time, Director Li felt that he wanted to recruit some people as supporting actors and tours in Baishi County before. Maybe this decision was wrong and it would delay the filming. Therefore, this matter brought great trouble to Director Li.
The pressure is still very high. He should think about it and see if there is any good solution to this matter?
