At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 819 Nini's Crew Experience

"Go and talk to the nightclub...tomorrow night we will shoot..."

"Only three hours!"

"Three hours is three hours, and there are not many scenes..."

At the end of the day's filming, Shen Xudong called the photography team and outreach producers to discuss the next day's filming together...

This is called the crew summary.

Shen Xudong's team is very professional, and basically there will be no such repeated shootings.

This is also where Shen Xudong is more proud - so, generally speaking, actors are willing to cooperate with him, as long as they focus on acting.

"Okay, let's go back and rest first, and we will start filming tomorrow!"

After talking for more than half an hour, Shen Xudong asked them to go back to the room. Just as they were about to leave, Shen Xudong remembered something: "By the way, Baoqiang is injured, arrange a professional physical therapist for him!"

Xu Hui nodded: "Understood!"

"Also, inform the staff of the film crew, stay in the hotel if you have nothing to do, don't go out and mess around, if something goes wrong, I can't bear the responsibility!"

Xu Hui hesitated and bargained: "...you are making things difficult for me, the crew are all men, and we are in Bangkok..."

"...A horse rider, will he suffocate to death if he suffocates for a few days?"

Shen Xudong was speechless, and then urged: "It's okay to go out, first, don't delay work; second, bring your guide with you!"

"Yes, I know…"

Unlike the original "Detective Chinatown" crew, Shen Xudong's crew directly negotiated with the Bangkok City Government for the filming...

Timmy Media is well-known throughout Asia. Shen Xudong himself is also the winner of the Venice Golden Lion Award. In addition, Golden Harvest Cinemas has 29 movie theaters in Bangkok, accounting for 13% of the market. SF World Cinema in Bangkok cooperated and participated in 38 cinemas...

The city government has given a lot of preferential treatment!
Wailian Production is cooperating with the largest local film company Buddha Film Company...

Therefore, it is the highest standard reception!
For "Tang Detective" in the original time and space, director Chen Sicheng has no overseas reputation. It is said that when the crew shoots the streets, the shooting distance is fixed and cannot exceed this distance.An additional light needs to be applied for. Also, for some scenes that the crew was optimistic about, due to many other reasons, they suddenly couldn’t be used the day before the filming started, and they had to change the scene...

But this also leads to a problem, that is, many staff are very wasteful...

Bangkok!
Just one thing, in Thailand, renting wives has become an industry, and many Thai girls accompany white old men to make money...

There are places everywhere to unleash at will, and for a very low price…

You can hardly control them!
You can't find one and fire the other, can you?

Managing a crew is similar to managing a company, you can only communicate your requirements to a few people in charge—hundreds of people, you can’t keep an eye on them one by one!
……

After the trial shooting, it was the actual shooting, which was not particularly smooth. From the location setting to the camera position, there were many times of constant adjustments—although there have been constant exchanges for more than two months, this is the first time that the various departments of the crew have cooperated, and it will definitely be necessary. running in.

On the one hand, the crew needs to adjust. On the other hand, it is the first time for these actors to cooperate with Shen Xudong, and they also need to adjust.

Shen Xudong is not in a hurry...

After three movies, his temper restrained a lot!

It may be because the level has improved, I know what I want, and I also know how to make the crew achieve their goals.

Of course, this is just his opinion. From Nini’s point of view, Shen Xudong always keeps a straight face during on-site shooting, never communicates with others, and directly orders props, art, and photography to do...

Shen Xudong is probably going to complain: Yes, everyone knows that friendly communication is possible, but you can’t do this on the spot, the time and place don’t allow it, and in order to improve work efficiency, you must take the most direct action: You can do what I say .

In this way, the communication becomes less, and the feeling is more blunt...

Apart from these, Nini also felt that Xudong didn't seem to pay her much attention...

This made her feel very uncomfortable!
The main thing is that I feel a little uneasy, not knowing whether I can perform.

As for the relationship with the cast and crew, after more than a week, she and Guan Xiaotong often chatted...

Guan Xiaotong is the actor who plays Sinuo - Zhang Zifeng is too young, only 12 years old.

The two of them are out of action for the time being, and they often eat and chat together...

But Guan Xiaotong has her mother with her, and the age gap is a bit big, so she can only talk about some more everyday topics.

Nini has always been very imaginary, and there will be her scene tomorrow - I have adjusted it, let's shoot a section first, and she has to go to the Berlin Film Festival with the crew the day after tomorrow...

……

set.

"...get some pineapple juice next time..."

After explaining to the staff, Shen Xudong turned his head. When he turned around, he happened to see Nini standing behind him with a box of lunch in his hand, and was startled.

"Director, your lunch box."

"Thank you."

Shen Xudong took the lunch box...

It's not about saving money, in fact, all the staff of "Tang Detective" eat box lunches - the specifications are the same, about 8 dollars a piece!
The ingredients are very fresh…

The lunch box Shen Xudong used was his own!

He opened the lunch box, took a few bites, and found that Nini was still standing in front of his eyes. Shen Xudong was puzzled: "...what's the matter?"

"Ah...no..."

"Then... let's eat together!"

Nini hurriedly opened her lunch box, took a few mouthfuls of rice, and asked, "Director... I'm going to be filming my part tomorrow, so I'm a little nervous..."

"Nervous? Nervous about what?"

"My understanding of the characters may not be in place..."

Shen Xudong became interested: "Tell me your understanding of Ah Xiang first!"

"Detective Chinatown", Ah Xiang's role is to embellish...

After all, this is a man's play, and there is always something missing without the presence of a beautiful woman-in fact, this character is completely dispensable, and even if this character is removed, it will not affect the development of the entire movie story.

Then Nini said: "On the surface, Ah Xiang is just the most beautiful woman in Chinatown. He has many suitors. The protagonist "Tang Ren" is one of them. In addition, the two police chiefs of the Thai police station "Kun Tai" and "Huang sir" also fell in love with Ah Xiang...but I think she must have another identity, otherwise, why would Mr. Yan sell her face?"

Seeing Shen Xudong's face full of astonishment, Nini thought she had guessed right, and continued: "So, I guess that Ah Xiang is the mastermind behind the robbery. There are 5 robbers in total. It is not difficult to see that they are all people at the bottom of society. How could people with their identities know that there was a batch of gold? Apparently, someone with identities told them and organized them to intercept the gold..."

Shen Xudong was stunned for a moment, this brain hole...it's a pity not to write a novel!
"...Tony, one of the five robbers, kidnapped Ah Xiang and almost killed her...According to your reasoning, she is really aggrieved as the mastermind behind the scenes."

"Maybe Tony hasn't seen the mastermind behind it?"

Shen Xudong waved his hand: "...you think too much, although Ah Xiang is the heroine, but she exists only to advance the plot and enrich the characters by the way!"

"Huh? Is that all?"

"...But your brain hole is quite interesting..."

"Then what is Ah Xiang's character background?"

Shen Xudong was helpless: "Do you know what a supporting role is?"
