"Shao Yang, what should I bring to the set?"

"Just go and leave."

After washing up, Shaoyang took out a set of clothes that Xue Jiajia had matched for himself from the closet. As he put them on, he said, "Didn't I tell you? I was shooting in Shanghai in the past few days, and then I went to other places."

"How long does it take to get there?"

"It'll take an hour. You go and wash up quickly. We'll be leaving soon. I can't be late on the first day."

"Good."

Xue Jiajia wore a pair of pink sandals and entered the bathroom with cheerful little steps.

She is quite looking forward to joining the crew for filming. After all, not many people have such an opportunity.

The three of them had something to eat and quickly set off from home.

In the car.

Shao Yang dialed Jiang Wansen's phone number.

"Hey, Lao Jiang, I will be downstairs of the hotel where you are staying in about twenty minutes. You come down early and wait for me. You will join the set today."

"it is good."

As soon as Jiang Wansen saw the call from Shao Yang, he knew it was related to the movie. He finished eating, packed his luggage, and went downstairs.

After picking up Jiang Wansen, Shaoyang drove on the national highway for more than [-] minutes and finally arrived at the door of the hotel.

This hotel specializes in hosting wedding banquets.

This time is the off-season for weddings, so the crew rented this hotel without spending much money.

At this moment, banners and huge posters have been hung at the entrance of the hotel, and an offering table has been set up in the courtyard of the hotel.

The opening ceremony can be simple or complicated. Generally speaking, the key figures in the crew come on stage to say a few words, then burn incense, worship gods, and give out red envelopes.

These rituals have been handed down from time to time. Now they seem a bit superstitious, but they have become the rules of this industry. Believe it or not, the ritual of burning incense and worshiping gods is indispensable when the crew starts filming.

It is said that this is a 'bad habit' brought to the mainland from Xiangjiang in the 90s, but in fact it was originally a rule in the old theater, because before the performance, people in the past had to burn incense and kowtow to the founder of the Liyuan, Tang Minghuang, backstage. I don't know what happened next. Somehow, it spread to the film industry.

"Brother Yang is here." When Shao Yang came off the court, he was seen by someone from the Mahua team.

Many people in the crew had never met Shao Yang in person before. When they heard that Shao Yang was coming, everyone stretched their necks and looked in Shao Yang's direction.

Shao Yang stepped forward and asked, "Director Yan, are everyone here?"

"It's basically all ready."

Yan Fei began to introduce Shaoyang one by one.

Generally speaking, the crew is divided into six parts: director team, production team, photography team, art team, and recording team.

There are many people in each team, just like the director team, including the director, assistant director, executive director, and scene recorder.

The production team has a larger number of people. In addition to the production director, on-site producers, life producers, and external producers, there are also supervisors, coordinators, finances, etc.

Shao Yang shook hands with them one by one, and then pointed at Jiang Wansen and introduced: "This is Lao Jiang. We are studying photography. We have been recording variety shows since then. I want him to join the crew to help."

As soon as these words were spoken, the cameraman immediately clapped his hands and said: "Great, the deputy photographer of our team has been poached, just one less person."

Shao Yang didn't know if he was trying to cater to him or if it was true, but he didn't expose it.

"Then let's start."

"it is good."

Shao Yang first asked the heads of the production, drama, photography, art, and recording groups to come on stage to speak. Then Yan Fei came on stage to say a few words, and then it was Shao Yang's turn.

Shao Yang took the speaker and walked onto the stage and said loudly: "Although this is my first time making a movie, you should know how much preparation I have made for this."

"This drama didn't go well. I still have a chance, but for you, this is the only chance. Whether you can seize this opportunity depends on you."

Shao Yang turned his attention to the crew: "As long as the box office of this drama reaches my expectations, I will use part of the proceeds to give bonuses to the brothers in the crew, and I can guarantee that you will have filming every year in the future."

"This is my promise to you, but I also want to say that if I encounter someone who is slacking off or uncooperative during the filming process, I will kick him out of the crew directly."

"Well, that's all I have to say."

Shao Yang's words are almost a combination of kindness and power. He knows that the actors are basically his own people and he can control them, but the people on the crew are paid to work. It is inevitable that he will encounter a few gangsters in the later stage. If he does not commit If they get a little benefit, they won't be motivated.

After everyone finished speaking, the next process began under the arrangements of the producer.

Today is the first day of startup. There are not many things to do. The two most important things are makeup and clothing.

This is very important, but Shaoyang already has the blueprint in his mind, he just needs to copy it.

After chatting with Yan Fei and the head of the art team for more than two hours, the costumes of the protagonists were decided.

After lunch.

Shao Yang and several leading actors began to put on makeup.

The first scene in the afternoon was about Charlotte attending Qiu Ya's wedding. The prop team was already setting up the scene.

"Yang...Brother Yang, how do you want to make it up?" A young-looking female makeup artist asked timidly.

Shao Yang looked up and asked in confusion: "Why are you nervous?"

The makeup artist explained: "This is my first day on the set..."

Her name is Zhang Xiaoru. She is only nineteen years old this year. She grew up in a rural area and was admitted to a high school in the county. However, because her family was poor, she dropped out of school and went to work. After working in an electronics factory for two years and saving a little money, she ignored her family's I objected and decided to sign up for a training class that specialized in makeup.

After completing her studies, she first worked in a wedding photography store. Later, as her makeup skills got better and better, she went to a big city to make a living. She heard that the crew was recruiting people, so she joined by chance.

Zhang Xiaoru didn't expect that she would be asked to put on Shaoyang's makeup on her first day here.

This is obviously being excluded.

after all.

As long as it's done well, that's all.

If you don't do it well, you may lose your job.

What's more, the target is Shaoyang, so Zhang Xiaoru is understandable for being nervous.

Shao Yang smiled and said, "There's nothing to be nervous about. Just do whatever I say, and you can do whatever you want."

"Oh."

Zhang Xiaoru placed the cosmetic bag on the table and carefully took out the cosmetics inside.

Shao Yang said: "Today afternoon, my character's identity is that of a middle-aged uncle who has accomplished nothing, dressed up to attend the wedding of my former crush, so I want you to make me look more old-fashioned, with an exaggerated and funny hairstyle."

"Older? Funny?"

"Ah."

Zhang Xiaoru thought that Shaoyang would ask her to make him look more handsome. After hearing this request, she did not immediately start putting on makeup. Instead, she first searched some photos of people on the Internet and showed them to Shao Yang to determine what style Shaoyang wanted. Makeup.

Shao Yang patiently talked to Zhang Xiaoru for a while, and Zhang Xiaoru finally started to put makeup on Shao Yang.

She is indeed very professional. Although the training class she attended can be considered a wild road, she works very hard. She not only learns from the teacher, but also follows online tutorials at other times. If she does not have the confidence, she will not quit her hometown. Fixed job, come to the big city to make a living.

After half an hour.

Zhang Xiaoru stopped and said, "Brother Yang, I've put on makeup, you can take a look."

Shaoyang opened his eyes and was a little surprised.

He looked a lot older, but he looked very natural. Looking at himself in the mirror, Shaoyang felt as if he was seeing himself ten years later.

"nice."

"Brother Yang, do you think there is anything else that needs to be changed?"

"That's good. From now on, you can just do makeup for me."

Shao Yang's words were undoubtedly an affirmation of Zhang Xiaoru. People around him could clearly see that Zhang Xiaoru was very happy.

Walking out of the makeshift dressing room, the prop team had already set up the hotel as required.

Yan Fei saw that Shao Yang had put on makeup and asked with a walkie-talkie: "Every department is ready, every department is ready, the shooting will start in five minutes."

"The props team is ready."

"The camera crew is ready."

"The lights are ready."

"The radio group is ready."

"..."

five minutes later.

everything's ready.

The recorder walked up to the camera and said, "First scene, first shot, first time, action!"
