Chapter 232 Many Hands Make Light Work
The work started at 8 am, and the morning shooting came to an end at 11:30 am. No one was not sweating.
The crew not only prepared mung bean soup, sour plum soup, cold drinks, but also Xiamen's special four-fruit soup.
Zeng Li directly booked a store, and the store owner was distributing bowls of soup to the people in line in front of the cart.
A large shed was built at the shooting location, and the air cooler was blowing, just like the kind of banquets held in many places in later generations.
At this moment, Yang Lingyue was resting in the shed with Wang Deshun and Lv Zhong.
The two old men did not say anything about hard work for the crew's arrangement. The times are different. It is unrealistic and annoying to ask young people today to work as hard as they did when they were young.
The behind-the-scenes staff of the crew were quite grateful for this. They have been to many crews. If there is such treatment, it is also prepared for the director, producer, and main actors. How can it be so evenly distributed.
"I have good vision to choose you two to act. If it goes smoothly all the time, the shooting time can be advanced." Yang Lingyue took a big sip of mung bean soup and said with a smile.
The heads of various departments of the crew also echoed Yang Lingyue's words.
"Our director is really good at talking. We just do what we should do according to the director's ideas. You are really hard-working. This photographer is sweating in his eyes, but he still insists on shooting." Lv Zhong pointed at Liu Dapeng kindly and said.
Liu Dapeng, whose left eye was red, laughed when he heard the praise.
At this time, Zeng Li clapped her hands, and after the studio was quiet, she picked up the loudspeaker and said to everyone: "Everyone has worked hard. If the shooting can be completed ahead of schedule, the saved costs will be distributed to everyone as bonuses according to the proportion. Our production team will not keep a penny."
The people from Jindun and China Film nodded at the same time, obviously they had discussed it.
"Pa pa pa pa"
"Mr. Zeng is awesome!"
"Thank you Mr. Zeng!"
"Thank you director."
".........."
The atmosphere in the studio was suddenly very warm.
Yang Lingyue didn't know about this decision in advance. She was stunned for a moment, then looked at Zeng Li with great satisfaction and clapped.
Zeng Li noticed her boyfriend's gaze and smiled.
Yang Lingyue reached out to take the trumpet from Zeng Li and said calmly:
"Don't rush to cheer or flatter. If you want to finish work early, do what you should do well. Okay, let's have lunch. After eating, take a rest early."
The lunch was a box lunch, which cost 10 yuan and was also booked by the restaurant. At present, this price is not bad. Anyway, Yang Lingyue ate well.
While eating, Du Xiaoyu came over and suggested: "Do you want to edit while shooting? This will speed up the overall progress."
Du Xiaoyu's editing while shooting refers to the pre-production editing, which is divided into on-site editing and on-site editing. The on-site editing can really be carried out at the same time as the shooting.
One advantage of this is that basically no shots will be missed, and it is also more convenient to reshoot.
Another obvious benefit is that it provides more mature large-scale materials for post-editing. When editing in post-editing, you can focus more on the adjustment of the big structure and the film narrative, saving a lot of post-editing time.
There are not many people doing this in this era, and it is also passed on from Hollywood. After all, the film industry is process-oriented and detailed to every step. Many TV series there are filmed and broadcast at the same time, and the subsequent plots are adjusted at any time according to audience feedback, not to mention editing.
In China, it was not until "The Wandering Earth" that director Guo Fan really sorted out a set of film production processes based on his own shooting diary.
Now Yang Lingyue wants to do this. There is no well-known process, which means that a lot of time and energy must be invested, even overloaded, but he is young, which is a condition that most directors do not have.
Of course, the budget may increase temporarily, but as long as it can save time, it is still cost-effective.
"That makes sense, I'll give you a chicken leg." Yang Lingyue reacted and really picked up a chicken leg for Du Xiaoyu. Of course, the one in his lunch box has not been imported yet.
Du Xiaoyu looked disgusted, Zeng Li rolled her eyes, and everyone laughed.
"Forget it." Yang Lingyue clamped it back.
Everyone laughed again.
"Then I'll call Zhou Ying and ask her to bring the team over directly?" Zeng Li asked.
Zhou Ying was the one who edited "Special Deal" before.
Yang Lingyue nodded and said, "Well, ask her if she has any work now. If she does, don't force it. I'll ask Teacher Zhou Xinxia to recommend one."
The filming didn't start until 4 o'clock in the afternoon. The shots were all empty shots and some shots of the old couple living in the house, without any lines.
After finishing the afternoon filming, Zeng Li said that Zhou Ying and her team of three would come the day after tomorrow, and the company's driver would leave from Kyoto tonight to bring the computers and equipment needed for editing here.
That's good.
Although today is the first day of filming, there is still a night scene.
For a lifetime, they are used to this kind of life and are used to being self-reliant, so whether it's a nanny or in a nursing home, they will always feel uncomfortable.
At 9 o'clock, as the filming ended, the scenes of the house in the old house were also finished.
According to the overall arrangement, we will move to my daughter's house tomorrow, a modern apartment with air conditioning, so it won't be so hot when filming.
It's not far from the old building, 5 kilometers away. It seems that this is the case in most cities in China. The old building is next to the new building, which is being demolished, constructed, and repaired.
Leaving the backstage staff to clean up the set, Du Xiaoyu, who officially became the production assistant, volunteered to watch.
Yang Lingyue and Zeng Li accompanied the two old actors back to the hotel to rest. Regardless of whether they were privileged or not, these four people were also the ones who consumed the most energy.
In the car, Wang Deshun and Lv Zhong communicated with Yang Lingyue about their understanding of the characters. Liu Xinghua was stubborn and arrogant. He was attached to his wife, and his wife always tolerated him, supported him, and encouraged him until his death.
Zeng Li listened thoughtfully. As far as she knew, the wife of the prototype of the story, Mr. Liu Chang, did not support him, nor did his children.
So what does it mean that the boyfriend designed such a relationship like this? Is this the kind of relationship he longs for?
After returning to the hotel, they sent the two back to their rooms, and Yang Lingyue followed Zeng Li back to her room.
"I've explained it. If there is anything, talk about it tomorrow." Yang Lingyue said unhappily.
"Wash up." Zeng Li pouted.
After Zeng Li finished removing her makeup and started brushing her teeth, Yang Lingyue finished washing her head and feet.
"Hurry up." Yang Lingyue patted Zeng Li and left the bathroom.
"Yeah." Zeng Li blinked.
