my crew is not human

Chapter 213

On May [-]st, the crew of the Super British series completed comprehensive preparations and officially launched.

First of all, Dong Zixin and Xu Han each brought a crew to the stage.

The ghost town also became lively all of a sudden, and even attracted a wave of tourists. After all, the crew on Linglan's side also has big names.

It's a pity that Li Xianyun has no time to flirt.

As for Chaoying... Hehe, forget it.

Basically, Lin Xiaoyu, Qin Yujian and the others lead the show, and the only top celebrity is Han Xinyu, who is only a cameo.

Han Xinyu put on a pose that you can use it, but it's a pity that Li Xianyun didn't dare to do it. The more favors you owe, the harder it is to pay back. Besides, you are such a big celebrity, and the Internet is too big to affect your value , Li Xianyun was also reluctant to consume Han Xinyu like this.

No, I'm not reluctant.

Li Xianyun instantly denied this.

Then put all your energy on Chaoying.

As the chief director, I don't need him to direct the play, I just go to watch the scene every day, see what the directors are filming, praise if I am satisfied, and scold if I am not satisfied.

Most of the time it is a lot of scolding.

It's not because the directors' shots are bad, but because the boss doesn't give too much praise to the people below.

The film and television industry is different from other industries. Directors and photographers have a high degree of freedom, and most of the signings are cooperation agreements rather than formal employees.

So the general boss can't control the directors.

But Yisheng Media is different, Li Xianyun is both the boss and the chief director.

The identity of the boss can't control you, but the identities of the chief producer and director can be taken to death.

So it is said to be busy, but in fact it means that the leaders carry out inspections every day with their hands behind their backs.

It's a pity that within a few days of the good times, a piece of news stunned Li Xianyun.

The old ghost introduced another crew.

Dongluo Film and Television.

And this time I used the ghost town scenic spot, and the time is one and a half months later.

Not only that, but the ghost town business department and overseas offices have also brought in the entry business of three small crews—the business department returned successfully, looking forward to the boss's compliment, but what they saw was Li Xianyun's bitter gourd Face.

Fuck it!
The crews are all crowded together, and the venue cannot be lined up.

The first film of each hero in the superhero series is basically on location, so it is not a big problem not to shoot in a ghost town. The key is that the main scenes of the second and third films are all in ghost towns.The reason for this arrangement is to facilitate the interaction between the heroes.

Character interaction, scene interaction, maximize the use of venues and actors-actors shoot three movies, and play eight movies, and only pay for two movies, which saves the cost very much.

But in this way, the actual shooting content of Ghost Town is as many as eight or so.

Opening two films at the same time, counting 20 days for one, would take [-] days.

Now it's only 45 days.

How is this enough?

stop?
The production crew has already started up, and the follow-up staff schedule has been arranged.

You can’t stop the production crew once it’s started. You can’t tell the crew that you’re going to shoot here today and you’ll come back next year, and the money will be paid for these two days.

It’s okay to have enough money, but it’s up to others whether to come next year or not—oh, there’s no time, my place is full.

There is no turning back when you open the bow, and you can't stop!

Then reject other crews?
Not at all.

The ghost town broke the contract as soon as it opened, do you want to do business later?
It's okay for the small crew, but the big crew can't be short-tempered.

I have already arranged for you to come here, did you call me back?You delayed my arrangement, how do you settle this account?
You don't want to offend the old ghost, and you don't want to offend other big companies.

This incident made Li Xianyun's headache instantly.

After some discussion, there was only one solution in the end.

Li Xianyun slapped the table: "Damn it, I'm fighting. While there is still room, let's open all five together!"

If the ducks are put on the shelves and the shooting starts at the same time, the theory can be completed in more than 30 days at the fastest speed.

It can be said that it is simple, but it is not easy to do.

The first is staffing.

The crew in the back has been scheduled for a long time. You have to start the machine ahead of time. It’s okay to say that there are no jobs, but what about those who have jobs?
So in an instant, a group of people couldn't come.

If you can't come, you have no choice but to transfer people elsewhere. Fortunately, Yisheng Media has also met many colleagues in the past two years. It is convenient to ask for people, but if you need them urgently, the price will inevitably be higher.

This is not the most troublesome.

The most troublesome thing is the crash problem.

Li Xianyun quickly tasted the bitter fruit of this problem after the filming started.

Because there are five plays, each of which has actors interspersed with each other, there is a problem with the personnel arrangement.

For example, crew A is going to use a certain actor, but crew B also has the role of that actor, so what should I do?
You said to shoot other things first, sorry, if the scene and content are changed, then the lighting and setting have to be redone.

It was supposed to come to me at one o’clock, and I’ll wait for you until 01:30, but you didn’t arrive, so I had to reset it, and it took me an hour to set it up, but you came, but I don’t have your role in this scene now, What should I do then?
Make the actors wait?Sorry, the actor has to go to the third scene soon.

When planning, these are of course staggered, but it is not easy to manage the shooting progress.

If you shoot fast on one side and slow on that side, it will lead to a crash.

And that's just actor crashes.

Props can also crash, and there are always some common props for the crew—to save money, isn’t it natural to use the same props repeatedly?Do it now?Hehe, I'm too busy!

Fortunately, there is a gap, so the problem is not too big.

The setting artist also crashed.Because the scene environment will change with the plot, today it is a white wall, tomorrow it will be graffitied, the day after tomorrow it will collapse, and the day after tomorrow... Fuck, how do I schedule it?Then build the wall back for me, I want to use it!

This is troublesome, there is Ke Yaoyao for setting the scene in advance, but for the on-site setting... Chi Li Ke Yaoyao can or cannot do it.

That would scare a bunch of people to death.

The equipment will also crash, because the principle of the equipment rental company is that the longer the rental time, the cheaper it is, so it has also made long-term scheduling. The plan is that the first crew will shoot well, and the subsequent crews will continue to use it. Now it is not enough to start shooting at the same time. We can only rent another batch of equipment.

Even life is not convenient.

The life producer finally contacted the takeaway to deliver it, and asked, what?Isn't your crew 80 people?How did it become 90 people?Oh, from next door?Fuck him, the crew next door, why didn't they say they would give ten portions less when I gave them boxed lunches?
I ran back to the next door to get the boxed lunch, and when I saw it, it was gone.

Scolding on the spot: Who the hell eats more and occupies more?I can't hold you to death!

It's useless after scolding, go buy it again, if you buy it late, you will be scolded for eating too late: I don't know the rules of how many extra lunches the crew prepares every time?I'm so hungry!
The producer of life is very wronged: I have prepared too much, I can't stand it and can eat it!There are a few servings of white rice left, and the dishes are gone.

This is not the scariest thing, it can be solved in general.Actors can always stagger things if they delay something; the setting can be changed, if this wall doesn’t work, another wall can be used, at worst, the panoramic view can be changed to a close-up view; If the equipment is not enough, you can rent it again.

The scariest thing is the venue crash.

I've finished shooting here and I'm going to use your venue, what?You still have three days to finish filming?
Alright, let's crash in place.

Hitting one at random is a big deal.

The initial preparatory work was thought to be sufficient, but a lot of problems were discovered as soon as it was done.

The venue collided with the venue, the actors collided with the actors, all the way crashed, and later even the group performances crashed.

There is also a base for group performances. What should I do if both parties hold group performances at the same time?In desperation, Li Xianyun could only pull the staff from the ghost town over to make up the numbers.

The staff in the ghost town also wailed.

That's right, the guests in the ghost town are not yet fully loaded. The problem is that we are also newcomers with insufficient experience and processing ability. If you transfer dozens of people over here, what should we do?
Li Xianyun thinks it's because you don't have the technical ability, I want you to take photos with lights, but there is actually a shortage of that stuff, and several camera positions have been temporarily laid off.

That's not counting, even a ghost will crash a car!
Because it's a real ghost, so the real ghost can't be scheduled?

The key point is that the crew on Linglan's side will also use ghosts.

The key thing is that you still can't explain it.

Special effects, holographic projection!
You can't say that if I want to use holographic projection on my side, you can't use it on your side?

This explanation is unscientific!
They are not actors, so why can't projections appear at the same time?

There is no other way, Li Xianyun can only think of a ruthless move - the equipment is broken.

So Linglan's crew was tricked—the special effects equipment in the ghost town was paralyzed from time to time.

Later, Dong Fei also became angry: "Why is your equipment so rubbish? It breaks down eight times a day?"

Li Xianyun had no choice but to be careful: "New equipment and new technology, I'm really sorry."

In the end, she was really ashamed, so she could only give Linglan a discount and give a few extra special effects, so as to calm Dong Fei's anger.

So in the end, Li Xianyun, the chief producer and chief director, didn't have to do anything else, it was directly the chief dispatcher's job.

Solve various problems anytime, anywhere.

The result is that Li Xianyun is so busy that only four hours of sleep a day is not enough, and he is exhausted all his life.

Equally tired are his assistant Su Haili, who followed him all over the place, filling in all kinds of leaks, and his secretary Li Feng, who experienced the extreme joys and sorrows of a big crew right after their debut.

That's all.

The five directors are like five unweaned children, screaming for food every day, always saying: Why haven’t the people from my side come yet? Is this him? Do you want to shoot?Director Li, do you still want to work?Don't blame me for being so messed up!
At this time, Li Xianyun felt that I was so naive, I actually thought that I could handle five movies at the same time.

It is not terrible to shoot five movies at the same time, but it is really a big death to shoot five interrelated movies at the same time!

But the daughter-in-law I found, no matter how ugly she was, she had to sleep with her eyes closed.

Gritting his teeth abruptly, he persisted.

Fortunately, Dou Lingling's agency sent a lot of people to help - they used to serve artists, but now the artists are not big enough, so let's serve the boss first.

So Li Xianyun began to rejoice again - thanks to this series, I didn't find a star.

Stars are busier!
The time is counted in minutes. If you play with celebrities like this, either you will piss off the stars, or the stars will piss you off.

Another busy day today.

At the end of the day, Li Xianyun didn't go home, didn't take a shower, and fell asleep on the single wire bed in the office.

Sleeping in a daze, the phone rang.

Li Xianyun didn't even look at it, and said directly: "Which one? I don't have time to chat, hang up."

I'm about to hang up.

Li Cheng's voice sounded from the opposite side: "It's me, I heard from Xiaofeng that you're in trouble?"
