my time as a director

It looks very low, but it doesn't include Li Qian's director, screenwriter's salary, and the salaries of the three of them.

And the venue also costs money, which was not included in the later stage.

A colorist alone costs [-] yuan. Fortunately, the requirements for sniping a phone booth are not very high, so I can handle it myself.

Li Qian has about [-] yuan in his hand, and if nothing else happens, it is enough to complete the film.

"That's it. I'll send out a recruitment message in the evening, and set up the crew as soon as possible. After ten days, it will start on time. It's not too early. Let's all go back and rest."

It was almost six o'clock, and Li Qian announced that he was off work, so there was no rush.

But before leaving, Zhang Zhonghua was called to stop him.

"Old Zhang, let me talk to them about the equipment, don't worry about anything else, study the storyboard carefully, and let's talk carefully after I'm done."

"Well, they're all new machines anyway."

"I just looked at the storyboard. The first shot of the street at the beginning is a typical Hollywood conventional sports storyboard. In addition, the switching of far, medium and close shots, and the subjective panning shots are very good."

Zhang Zhonghua sighed, "If I hadn't often seen Mr. Li writing storyboards in the studio, I would have doubted that such a mature storyboard was written by you."

Li Qian smiled and said, "The storyboards written by others are useless to me, aren't they?"

The script is written by the screenwriter, and the storyboards are usually written by the director. A screenwriter who can write a good storyboard shows that he has the ability to be a director.

For the same script, different directors can write different storyboards. If they are not written by themselves, they may not be able to fully understand the creator's intentions, and it is uncertain what the film will look like.

When filming, you don’t use a script, and you can’t fully understand the storyboard, and there is a high probability that the filming will fail.

After all, movies are not TV dramas, and TV dramas are much easier to film.

After a brief chat, Li Qian asked Zhang Zhonghua to go back.

The specifics have to be prepared after the script is finished, and the communication between the director and the photographer is still very important.

Zhang Zhonghua was originally a cameraman in Jiangsu and Zhejiang film studios. Since the beginning of the century, domestic film studios, large and small, have been dying. Many of them can’t even pay their salaries.

There was no filming in the studio for a year, the salary was not much, and it was just in time for his son to go to college, so he was recruited by Li Qian with a high salary to come to the studio to shoot some messy things.

There are no problems with the photographer and actors. The film sniping the phone booth does not have high requirements for art, and there are not many problems left.

......

In the following time, Li Qian was busy looking for a suitable shooting location while preparing for the crew.

Although most of them are the protagonist's one-man show, the other supporting roles can't just find someone to deal with. I met dozens of extras and special appointments in a day before deciding on the actor who took the delivery of the dead ghost.

He graduated from Beijing Film Academy, grade 99, and has a very famous name, Zhou Dehua, a combination of Liu Dehua and Zhou Huajian.

Although he graduated from the Beijing Film Academy, he didn't do well. The last film was the male number N in Zhu Xiaotian's version of Chu Liuxiang's Legend.

Going forward, it was the Legend of Sword and Fairy filmed the year before last, and it was also a male N number. Li Qian had watched this drama, and it was pretty good. It was almost sprayed to death by netizens before. It seems to be about the appearance of the hero and heroine. Too much difference.

However, this movie has not been released yet. Originally it was said that CCTV was the first to make a remake, but it was cut off by Sugar Man. I don’t know if it has anything to do with it. It’s all rumors. Li Qian I haven't paid attention to it either, but I still think the TV series is pretty good.

Li Qian has almost no impression of Zhou Dehua, and after thinking for a long time, he remembered that he played the role of a photo studio owner in a TV series I'm Waiting for You in the Future, and he was also a male N number.

This is also normal, there are countless ensemble performers in Hengdian, but there are many who can stand out, say one in a million.

There is still time, Li Qian is looking for actors and interviewing the crew at the same time.

Field workers, make-up artists, and lighting are all easy to handle, as long as the basic skills are enough.

Anyway, the lighting belongs to the photographer, if there is no problem with the photographer, there will be no problem with the lighting.

With Zhang Zhonghua in charge of the main camera positions, the cameraman in charge did not have too many requirements.

After a few days of busy work, there is only one execution.

The execution cannot be sloppy, Li Qian also waited for a few days, and selected four or five interviews from among the many applicants.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Li Qian was waiting for the first interviewer to arrive in the studio.

Holding his resume in his hand.

"Guo Fan, graduated with a bachelor's degree in law, has published comics, worked for Travel Satellite TV, and won the gold medal in the World Greenpeace Global Public Service Advertising Competition..."

Sorry for the late posting, I changed it again and again, what I wrote today will look bad tomorrow, I seem to have obsessive-compulsive disorder at the beginning... Please recommend tickets and investment, new week, rushed to the city category There is no recommendation for the signing list, only the signing list is an exposure channel.

Chapter 5 is a talent

"Hi Director Li, I'm Guo Fan."

At 10:[-], the first interviewer arrived on time [-] minutes earlier.

"Hello, please take a seat."

Li Qian asked him to sit down and looked him over.

Plaid shirt, jeans, crew cut, and glasses. His ordinary appearance and dress don't seem like a painter.

And the resume is also very strange. She studied law, majored in painting, won international awards, and has been working in a TV station. She is also a music program and does packaging planning.

Proficient in multiple majors that are not much related, this kind of person is not bad.

Of course, this has nothing to do with the execution of this job. Li Qian would not interview him if it was just like this.

"Mr. Guo worked in the film crew directed by Zhang Yimou?"

Li Qian went straight to the point.

"Yes, I did art in the crew of Flying Daggers and the Golden Armor throughout the city."

Guo Fan pushed his glasses and answered truthfully, while also looking at Li Qian.

To be honest, Guo Fan regretted it a little from the moment he entered the door. The director in front of him seemed to be younger than himself, and he was a bit unreliable no matter how he looked at it.

However, Guo Fan did not reveal it. After failing to apply for the directing department of Beijing Film Academy in 99, he never gave up his dream of being a director.

But one can imagine how difficult it is for a non-professional to be a director.

After finally being able to find a crew to recruit and perform, and to be able to see his resume, Guo Fan didn't want to give up even if it was unreliable.

Zhang Yimou's costume blockbusters are undoubtedly the most brilliant art and color, from Heroes to House of Flying Daggers, to last year's city full of golden armor.

It can be said that the plots of these movies are not good, but as far as the screen is concerned, few people in China can compare with him.

This is why only Zhang Yimou's costume films can sell overseas, because foreigners can't understand the plot, so they just watch the big scenes and the camera.
