Chapter 190 The First Favorite Fan Crew in History
Since August, the crew of "Magic Phone" has begun to try some outdoor scenes.
Two days ago, I just filmed a scene in front of a well-known building in Quancheng where a flying man caught a robber.
In order to create a big scene, in addition to the 100 extras provided by the crew, Zuo Le also grabbed many onlookers to help, totaling nearly 400 people.
If you need to perform for the camera, let the group performers come on, and the ordinary onlookers will be at the back.
For these temporary extras, Zuo Le didn't have many requirements. He didn't laugh, just followed the camera and directed, occasionally exclaimed with the extras, and then just pretended to take a video of the trapeze artist with his mobile phone.
When there are more people, there are more problems and it becomes relatively difficult to manage.
Especially for these temporary group performances, although the crew will give you a certain amount of remuneration, they are group performances after all, and the number is limited. People are just interested in having fun, and you will bother them too much.
And the most terrible thing is that you are afraid of encountering disobedient or stubborn fools who will cause trouble for you intentionally or unintentionally. You can't say harsh words because they don't rely on you for their livelihood.
When you get angry, you say that the crew of "Magic Phone" is bullying you and will poke fun at you on the Internet. A trivial matter will cause you to become a coquettish person.
And in today's society, everyone has a mobile phone, and they are surrounded by the crew, snapping pictures, waiting to be uploaded to Douyin, slow-moving.
If it's just about filming the actors, just treat it as a Reuters for the crew. The key is that someone directly records the video of the filming, and if it's awesome, directly broadcasts it live.
In this way, passers-by can directly film the crew filming with their mobile phones. A little less doesn't matter, and it can also play a promotional role, but too much is not enough, and the plot may easily be leaked.
After Zuo Le filmed a scene, he said that he didn’t need to use the friendship of passers-by to appear. There were too many things.
He would rather send people to the Changqing Film and Television Base every day to drive several trucks of professional extras. Although it is expensive and troublesome, it saves worry when filming.

Quancheng Plaza
The crew of "Magic Phone" has a big show here today.
It's big, but it's not that big at all. The film was about Huang Mei being used by Mr. Fan to kidnap a rich man with a human race bag. He was besieged by Bajie and Lu Xiaoqian together. He fell into a disadvantage and could only arrest Chu Chu and threaten him. Finally, under You Suowei's persuasion
Next, he and Lu Xiaoqian finally reconciled.
There are fight scenes and dialogue scenes. The scenes last about 20 minutes and took two days to shoot.
Zuo Le specifically contacted the leaders and secured a small area from Quancheng Square for semi-enclosed shooting.
The assistant director was instructing the film crew to set up the machines, and Zuo Le exchanged greetings with the person in charge of Quancheng Square.
"Director Sun, thank you for your help this time, thank you."
"Faded!"
Director Sun is a fat man. Hearing this, he and Zuo Le laughed and said: "Director Zuo said it lightly. You are the pride of our Dongshan cultural industry. You come to our square to film and promote the square. You can't say thank you or not."
Everyone carried the sedan chair, Director Sun would praise others, and Zuo Lezui didn't grow up eating bitter melons. The two complimented each other and returned home satisfied.
"Magic Mobile" has more than one scene in Quancheng Square. As the central square of Quancheng, many scenes are in line with Zuo Le's expectations, especially the musical fountain at night.
It is very suitable for some scenes in the play, such as Sha Niu appearing in the early modern era, You Suowei pretending to kill Lu Xiaoqian in front of the Bull Demon King, etc.
Before the filming officially started, Zuo Le looked at the large group of enthusiastic fans not far away who were blocked by the security tape outside the warning tape. He thought for a while and called Shen Teng over.
This guy ran a lot of errands for Zuo Le, so Zuo Le simply gave him the title of assistant director on the set, and Assistant Director Shen returned to the world.
"Director Zuo, what are your orders?"
When it comes to outdoor temperatures in summer, although Quancheng is not as good as some well-known stove cities in the country, within the province, Quancheng is firmly ranked as the number one stove in Dongshan Province.
Now it is August again, a time of intense heat. Just now Shen Teng was busy arranging group performances and roasting in the sun, but now the area around his collar is soaked.
Zuo Le took out a bottle of water from the portable refrigerator next to his chair, threw it to Shen Teng, and let him cool down for a while before getting down to business.
"It's not a big deal if people are surrounding you. It's such a hot day. If you get a stroke, you'll be in trouble."
Shen Teng drank half of the bottle of ice water, wiped his mouth, and said with a wry smile: "It's useless. I sent people to persuade them, but they couldn't be persuaded. There are many fans of our cast and crew who are just here to be idols." .”
Zuo Le had a headache. No wonder the crew rarely shoots scenes in cities these days. There are too many things going on.
"In this way, no matter who they are, our crew cannot do this and watch.
You go to the production director. Didn't I tell you to prepare ice water, ice cream, mung bean soup and sour plum soup for the extra performers?
You tell him to prepare some more and send them to the fans over there, and give extra red envelopes to the security guards at the square. If you have to help the crew maintain order on such a hot day, you will probably be scolded by them already.
Also, let the leading actors Mao Xiao and Shui Miaomiao come over and persuade the fans to leave if they can. It won’t be a problem if they just stay.”
Shen Teng nodded and was about to leave when he was pulled back by Zuo Le: "Forget it, you go find the production director. I'll talk to Mao Xiao and the others."
In the hot summer, everyone is easily impatient, has poor communication, and is prone to conflicts.
Although Shen Teng had just become famous and was the assistant director of the crew, he didn't have enough weight in front of the leading actors such as Mao Xiao. He kicked them out of the sunshade lounge to deal with the fans. Who knows if some people would be dissatisfied, so he might as well go in person.
He didn't believe that anyone on the "Magic Phone" crew would dare to challenge him...
Sure enough, when Zuo Le came to the lounge and said, no matter what they were thinking, all the artists immediately obeyed and got up to do their work. Soon, the crowd of onlookers burst into cheers of surprise.
Zuo Le looked at the back. The most popular among the starring actors were Shui Miaomiao, Zhang Jiajia and their second uncle, followed by Jiao Jun and Mao Xiao, and then Hong Tao and Zhou Binbin.
However, what Zuo Le didn't expect was that Wan Qian, who was not well-known, actually had many people chatting with her, and she naturally signed autographs and took photos.
After struggling for a while, some obedient fans were indeed persuaded to leave, but there were still a large number of people who continued to be stubborn.
What's even more terrible is that some fans posted this incident and photos of themselves with the cast and signed on the Internet, causing many local fans in Quancheng to learn the news and rush to Quancheng Square non-stop.
If you steal the chicken but lose the rice, Zuo Le was so angry that he almost did it to himself.
Fortunately, probably because of the good protection, what Zuo Le was worried about did not happen. The two-day shooting ended smoothly, which made him relieved.
At the same time, the crew of "Magic Phone" showed their thoughtfulness to the fans, and it also became a hot search topic for scarves.
Not to mention delivering water, soup and ice cream, in the later stage, we also built a dozen awnings and hundreds of mats for them to rest, and the crew were given lunch boxes for those who didn't eat.
And from time to time, several leading actors are sent over to do business, take photos, sign autographs and chat with fans. If you are in a good mood, they will also perform a show for you.
They are simply the most beloved crew in history, so amazing.
As soon as this hot search came out, many people from the cast of "Magic Phone" expressed their love for it. Many locals in Quancheng said that they also wanted to enjoy the sour plum soup and watch the star's performance wherever the next scene was filmed.
Even many fans from other places joked that they had already bought their tickets to Quancheng and were going to stay with the crew right away.
Zuo Le was really confused when he saw the large number of fans and fans on the Internet who wanted to block the crew of "Magic Phone".
How can I film a movie and create a mobile tourist attraction...
