Chapter five hundred and ninety-eight the competition for the location car
The crew has its own rules, and the film and television city actually has its own rules. No matter where the film and television city is, it has its own characteristics. For example, the desolation of the Western Film and Television City, the numerous groups of Hengdian Film and Television City.
Act and wait.
But no matter what kind of film and television city they are, they all have one thing in common, that is, leasing. This is what the film and television city relies on for food. Whether it is venue rental, equipment rental, or even gathering of extras, these are all
It is the source of income for the film and television city, and in Hong Kong City, even if it is an extra cast, the cost is quite high. Therefore, if it is an ordinary movie, even if it is shot in Hong Kong City, the number of extra actors used is very high.
less.
Therefore, it is almost impossible to see big scenes with hundreds of people in the Mainland in Hong Kong movies. Because if the extras dare to bully and take commissions casually, they will be sued by the labor union.
The crew couldn't bear it.
That's right, extras are actors too, and they are protected by the Screen Actors Guild. You can ignore extras, /no/wrong/, but you can't exploit extras, at least on the surface. Therefore, although extras in Hong Kong City are also
I am often bullied by celebrities or crew members, but at least in terms of salary, no one dares not to default on it.
Therefore, the income of extra actors in Hong Kong City movies is still guaranteed. One of the characteristics of Hong Kong City Film and Television City is mechanical equipment, which is much cheaper than that in the mainland.
Therefore, in the Hong Kong City Cinema City, if a crew wants to shoot a big scene with twenty or thirty people, they must say hello to the film and television city in advance, otherwise the twenty or thirty extras may not be able to arrive on time.
of.
Of course, TVB is not included in this example. They train their own actors, but most of the crews need to be arranged by film and television studios.
The group performances are arranged. The only problem is the equipment. Because it is cheap, generally speaking, the crew is very generous in renting it. Therefore, some equipment is not so easy to rent at this time.
This time, the crew of The Heroic Girl Entering the Sky Gate encountered such a problem.
The production manager Lin Helong angrily said to the staff of the film and television studio: "What kind of attitude do you have? This is bullying. Where are the cars we want? Didn't we agree that we would have four location cars?
How come there are only two cars? How do you want us to go with two cars? Do you want the rest of us to walk to the location?"
Because the crew of Heroes of Heroes was going to the mountainous area to shoot some exterior scenes, they had to use location vehicles. At this time, the staff of the film and television city suddenly said that there were only two vehicles. This was a bit difficult to handle. Two vehicles were simply not enough.
It's impossible to complete the mission.
At this time, Lin Helong suddenly became very angry. But the staff seemed to be used to this kind of scene, and said with a smile: "Can you blame me for this? Did I not let you come to rent? What were you doing earlier?
, if you mean to come early, you can’t rent four of our location cars, so they were rented by the Infernal Affairs crew. Who are you to blame if you didn’t say hello in advance?"
Lin Helong was already very angry. But after hearing this, he became even more angry.
Infernal Affairs crew, does this staff member mean to use the prestige of Infernal Affairs crew to suppress themselves? This is the most intolerable thing to happen in the film industry.
If there is any pressure on a crew, it is an internal conflict between everyone, and there is still the possibility of adjustment. If there is pressure from another crew, then you cannot retreat casually.
At this time, Lin Helong pointed to the other two cars without politeness and said: "Then what are your two cars like? Aren't they location cars? Why can't they be rented to us? Could it be that
Is it because we can’t afford the money, or is it because our cast of The Legend of Heroes owes you money?”
ATV is very important to ATV. Therefore, at this time, in terms of funds, it is very sufficient. There is no shortage of money at all. This also cultivates Lin Helong's arrogance.
What a habit.
Therefore, I felt very angry when I saw people in the film and television city owning cars but not renting them to me.
The staff didn't care at all about Lin Helong's temper, but smiled and relaxed their shoulders and said, "There's nothing we can do about it. These two cars have been rented by the Infernal Affairs crew and they will use them in the afternoon.
"
From this tone, this staff member seemed a bit provocative.
At this time, Zhu Yanping, the director, rushed over and said: "Xiao Lin, what's going on? It's been a long time. The whole family is waiting for you. Do you want to do it or not? If you don't want to do it, get out."
The director plays a role like an emperor in each crew. If there is no pressure from the producer, then this is indeed the case.
In particular, Zhu Yanping is also a very famous director, and his rights are naturally much greater. Even the big names Zhao Wei and Wu Qilong will not challenge the director's rights casually on the set. For example, Zhao Wei will not go to Wu Jian
The crew asked Ye Ming to have a private meal after filming, then the director would not interfere casually. But in this case, Zhao Wei went to another crew while filming.
If you go to Ye Ming, you have the right to provoke Zhu Yanping.
Zhao Wei and Wu Qilong were like this. As a small stage manager, Lin Helong naturally did not dare to challenge the dignity of director Zhu Yanping. He immediately ran over and explained: "Well, director, this is a bit unexpected. There are only two location cars."
No, this is not enough for what we need. How about I think of other ways and find two other cars."
Zhu Yanping said somewhat unhappily, how could you be so careless about this matter? Two cars, this is not possible at all. Are you asking my crew to go to the location, or the actors to go to the location? Either way?
Even if I help others, I can’t make a movie. I see, aren’t there four cars over there? What the hell, can we just rent them together?”
Although he didn't get close, under such a situation, Zhu Yanping could clearly see the four location cars parked there?
At this time, Lin Helong also smiled bitterly and said: "Director, what you said is correct, but it is different from what you thought. Those two cars were rented by the crew of Infernal Affairs. They cannot rent them.
Give us."
Infernal Affairs? After hearing the news about this crew, Zhu Yanping was stunned. Now it is not easy not to know that there is an Infernal Affairs crew in Hong Kong City. Therefore, if the Infernal Affairs crew came next door, then Zhu Yanping would actually
I also had some settlements.
If there is no Xiangdao crew, they are right next door. Zhu Yanping originally wanted to find a chance to visit, but now depending on the situation, he has to fight for the location car first.
Zhu Yanping frowned and said, "Xiao Lin, what did you do this time? Wouldn't you have come to rent it earlier?"
The location car has already been rented to the Infernal Affairs crew, so if you want to get it back at this time, it is basically not possible.
But if there are only two location cars, they are simply not enough at this time.
Lin Helong smiled bitterly and said: "I don't want to do this either. I suspect that the staff is jealous of our crew, so there is something going on behind the scenes. Otherwise, there would be ten or eight location cars left in the past. How will they be left this time?"
Four of them, and it is said that two of them belong to the Infernal Affairs crew."
Zhu Yanping frowned and said, "You should discuss with him first and find a way to rent all four exterior vehicles. We can talk about other things later."
The director is the director, and a large group of crew members and actors are waiting for the location car. Therefore, in such a situation, the director cannot say that he just casually asked Lin Helong to go to another location to find a car.
Well, if in such a situation, time is wasted, then should today's shooting be carried out? If the shooting is delayed, how much money will be wasted in that day.
A director has a lot to worry about, so he doesn't pay enough attention to some details.
In such a situation, after listening to the director's words, Lin Helong naturally went to rent a location car with great enthusiasm. When the staff who passed by Wuhe Film and Television City said this, the staff was a little embarrassed at this time.
Said: "These two cars were indeed rented by the Infernal Affairs crew. It's a bit against the rules for you to drive away. What if the Infernal Affairs crew comes at this time?"
Seeing that the staff did not refuse immediately, Lin Helong, who was very familiar with this industry, immediately said: "I understand this. Don't worry, I won't make it difficult for you. I'll give this small thing to the brothers for tea."
.”
If you send a red envelope to the staff to facilitate your crew, then in a situation like this, you have to give money. People can't help you for no reason, right?
This time, Lin Helong was very hard-working and hands-on, almost like a model worker.
The four location cars were finally rented out by the crew of The Legend of Heroes. But under such a situation, the staff of the film and television studio gave out a smile of success.
He muttered to himself, looking at the backs of the cast and crew of Heroes of Heroes, and said: "I'll let you win, I'll let you win, now you can't win. Do you think some things can be settled with money? You guys
You probably don’t know that one of the two cars you forcibly drove away was needed when your eldest brother Cheng Long came over for filming today. Now you have offended both Ye Ming and Cheng Long. What do you think?
