Entertainment Empire System

The crew has its own rules, and the film and television city actually has the rules of the film and television city. 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, and the numerous extras in the Hengdian Film and Television City etc.

But no matter what kind of film and television city they are, they all have one thing in common, and that is leasing. Film and television cities rely on this to make money. 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 performance, the cost is quite high. Therefore, if we talk about ordinary movies, even if they are shot in Hong Kong City, the number of extras 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 say that anyone dares to bully and take commissions casually, they will be sued by the union and the crew will not be able to bear it.

That's right, extras are also actors and are protected by the Screen Actors Guild. You can ignore the extras, but you can't exploit them, at least on the surface. Therefore, although the extras in Hong Kong City are often bullied by celebrities or crew members, at least in terms of salary, no one dares not to default.

Therefore, the income of extra actors in Hong Kong movies is still guaranteed. One of the features of the Hong Kong City Film and Television City is the machinery and equipment, which are much cheaper than those 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 greet 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 the film and television city.

The group performances are arranged, and 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 chivalrous woman breaks into the Tianguan crew. Just 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? Can the rest of us 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 did you do earlier? If you said you came early, wouldn't you be able to rent four people? Our location vehicle has been rented by the Infernal Affairs crew, and you didn’t say hello in advance, who’s to blame?”

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 that our cast of Heroes of Heroes owes you money?”

ATV attaches great importance to "The Heroic Girl Breaks into the Sky". Therefore, in terms of funds at this time, 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 that people in the film and television city had cars but did not rent them to me.

The staff didn't care at all about Lin Helong's tantrum, 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, as 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 go 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 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? I can't make a movie even if I help others. I see there aren't four of them over there? What are you doing? Just rent it together, right? "

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? Zhu Yanping was stunned when he heard the news about this crew. 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 comes next door, then Zhu Yanping has actually done it. Some closure.

If there is no Xiangdao crew, it is right next door to him. 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, it will not be 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 behind it. 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’s 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 when it comes to some details, he doesn't pay enough attention to them.

Under such a situation, Lin Helong listened to the director's words and naturally went to rent a location car confidently. The staff who passed by Wuhe Film and Television City said this. At this time, the staff was a little embarrassed and said: "These two cars were indeed rented by the crew of Infernal Affairs. It's a bit inappropriate for you to want to drive away." Rules, what should I do if someone from 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 little idea to my 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 in such a situation, the staff of the film and television city smiled like a scheming 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? It’s over.” (To be continued)
