The movie "Supernatural Family" is a big move in terms of investment, the number of actors on the crew, and the shooting time. It can no longer be completed by dozens of people.
The day before the shooting, Qin Xiaobao led the crew to Hongshan County. There were two buses alone, and they were full of people, not counting the photographers who arrived in advance and various equipment.
Most people are taking a rest, but not the director.
Qin Xiaobao and Director Pang took the actors to the hotel first, arranged the camera positions, and let Chen He and others familiarize themselves with the venue.
There are no special events in the evening, and alcohol is not allowed.
After reviewing the next day's shooting again, Qin Xiaobao returned to his room and prepared to sleep.
The crew directly booked the second best hotel in the county because the best hotel was unwilling.
As a director, Qin Xiaobao's room has a living room. It's not that he's getting preferential treatment. It's mainly because he has to hold various meetings during the filming. In fact, he is not willing to use it in his own room. After all, he has to stay for more than a hundred days, and there will always be
Somewhat inconvenient.
Of course Wang Bingbing was not in the room. In fact, her floor was not on the first floor. She lived on the top floor with other actors.
Hongshan County is a small county. The news that a film crew was stationed for filming spread throughout the county in an instant. I heard that it was reported in the news in the city. When I went to the scene to investigate today, it even attracted a small group of onlookers.
However, the local authorities have sent many personnel to help maintain order. Don't worry too much. Being watched by people while filming is unavoidable as long as you are in the city.
At eleven o'clock at night, Qin Xiaobao had turned off the lights and was lying on the bed. The alarm clock had been set. He got up at seven o'clock and started the power-on ceremony at nine o'clock.
He went through the shooting plan in his head. On the first day, there weren't many shots, and he had even made plans to only shoot one.
You have plenty of time and plenty of money, so don’t be too anxious.
Qin Xiaobao regards this filming as a process of growth. He plans to do everything by himself and do more things that a director should do. With more than 60 million yuan in funding, more than 200 people will work together to transform words into shots.
Turning it into a movie makes me feel emotional just thinking about it.
If this was his first movie, I guess, no, he would be so excited that he wouldn't be able to sleep.
He suppressed the excitement in his heart and controlled not to pick up his mobile phone. He didn't know how long it had passed before Qin Xiaobao felt sleepy and fell asleep in a daze.
When I woke up, the alarm clock hadn't gone off yet, so I looked at the time, six fifty-five, perfect.
Staying in bed was not allowed, so I didn't have the intention, so I went directly to the bathroom and took a shower.
For this shoot, he specially cut his hair and left it short. When Chen He saw him yesterday, he just sighed that good-looking people are handsome no matter what hairstyle they wear.
The air conditioner is on in the room, and the weather forecast predicts a maximum of thirty-five degrees today.
It was just a movie shoot, so his costume designer didn't come with him. However, the box was full of clothes in bags that had been completed and vacuumed. All Qin Xiaobao had to worry about was what color he wanted.
At 7:20, Xiaoming came and knocked on the door, telling him to get up.
"Tell me, should I wear white or black?" He held two bags and placed them on his chest.
"It's black. I'll turn it on later. It will look more solemn. Moreover, the scenes are all indoors, so they won't be afraid of heat absorption."
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Qin Xiaobao started to get dressed: "Where are the others, let's get up."
"Well, we are having breakfast on the first floor. We will leave directly from the hotel later and go to the square in the city for the opening ceremony. It will take about half an hour. Director Wang will lead people to set up the shooting scene first. You can go back directly
It’s time to start.”
"Okay." Qin Xiaobao changed his clothes in a few times and smiled when he took out his shoes.
They are a pair of Nike sneakers, size 43, a gift from Wang Bingbing.
The restaurant on the first floor is very lively.
"director!"
"Good morning, director!"
"Good morning, everyone." Qin Xiaobao waved and took a tray.
The cook was hired locally, and the breakfast was quite rich, including soy milk, fried dough sticks, steamed buns, rice porridge, and noodles if you wanted, but the milk bread should have been bought from outside.
When it comes to food, Xiangyang has never been stingy. How can he work if he doesn't have enough to eat?
I felt a little bit, um, a little hungry, so I took a bowl of soy milk, two steamed buns, an egg, and a piece of bread, took the plate and went to sit with the actors.
"Hey, you have a good appetite!" Chen He looked at his breakfast.
Qin Xiaobao didn't want to talk. You pretended to be five big buns. What did I say?
"Soy milk, director, do you want salty or sweet?" asked an actor nearby.
"Of course it has added sugar, but it's just soy milk, rice dumplings, and tofu pudding. I'm a salty person." Qin Xiaobao took a bite of the bun. It was good, rich in oil, meat, and fragrant!
"Of course you have to eat something sweet with Douhua." Sun Li seemed to have been stepped on, very excited.
"Hey, Sister Li," Chen He said with a smile, "you have contributed a lot to the sweet and salty debate on the Internet, right?"
Sun Li nodded seriously: "It's necessary, I even posted it on Weibo, and they all called me the spokesperson of the Douhua Sweet Party."
"Hahahaha, 66666," Chen Hebi gestured: "Bingbing, what about you?"
"Me?" The little girl who was eating breakfast seriously tilted her head and thought for a moment: "I seem to love both, it doesn't matter what I eat."
As a result, Qin Xiaobao and Sun Li glared at the same time: "How can you be so helpless?"
It made her stunned.
At eight o'clock, everyone had breakfast and the troops were divided into two groups. Qin Xiaobao took the leading actor Yi Guan Po on the bus and went to the square for the opening ceremony. The other deputy director took other staff to the scene to prepare.
The result is that the distance is too close, and when people arrive, the time has not yet arrived.
It's only ten minutes from the hotel to the square, with three traffic lights in the middle, so there's almost no need to wait.
Looking through the car window, the square is round, not big, with a fountain in the middle. Many people can already be seen holding mobile phones and looking forward to it. Of course, reporters are also present.
In the bus, in addition to the crew members, there were also representatives from the management. They had spent money and definitely wanted to come and take a look.
It doesn’t matter whether you understand it or not, it’s just a formality like the power-on ceremony.
Reporters were also invited by them.
How far is Hongshan? You have to stay one night when you come here.
When the filming of the movie started, the news was actually very mediocre, and it was not immediately available to watch. When the report was released, netizens did not pay enough attention to it.
Even Qin Xiaobao is no exception.
But building momentum is from beginning to end. If you don't invite a reporter, it will be a bit deserted. With "money power", it can be solved easily.
It doesn't matter whether it works or not, the main thing is to earn face.
Qin Xiaobao was also very polite to the financial sponsors. He would be free now and talked a little bit about the next shooting plan.
Everyone listened attentively to this, but it was unclear what they were thinking, whether they wanted to leave as soon as possible.
Just like that, at 8:50, a group of people got off the bus!
