my crew is not human

Chapter 215 Brand New Shooting Mode
The filming of the crew sounds very hard, working more than ten hours a day, but in fact the work efficiency is extremely low.

Because most of the work has to be done step by step.

For example, when the artist is working on setting the scene, other people can only wait on the spot.

When the art and scenery are finished and the lighting is turned on, the others continue to wait in place.

After the lighting is done, we need to set up the camera position, fix the focus and light to fix everything, and the others wait in place.

Everything is fine, the actors are on, the cameraman is on, the recording is on, everyone else stays where they are, etc.

The actors are down and need to touch up their makeup.The others waited in place.

All of this is done, the location needs to be changed, the artist set up the scene to start work, and the others stay put and wait...

Endless reincarnation.

If there are special effects, you need to add a green screen, and you need to add sensors for high-end special effects. When doing this, other people wait on the spot.

The longest waiting time is probably the group performances.It is often the production crew that pulls over and waits for more than ten hours. When it comes time to go on stage, it only takes a few minutes.The inefficiency is comparable to picking up girls - months of hard work, just a few minutes of fun.

If there is a need for high-end sound effects, it has to be added, and others still wait on the spot.

If the director comes up with a sudden inspiration and designs a shot temporarily, all crew members will wait for the screenwriter and director together, and after the screenwriter and director have to wait for the actors, the actors have to be familiar with the script to find emotions, and they will complain a few words if they have nothing to do ?

Anyway, it’s all about waiting, for a crew of 300 people, there will always be 50 people working, and the rest are responsible for waiting for work, opinions, etc.!
Just like this bird.

This is still standard procedure.

What about accidents?
There will be problems with the lighting, voltage problems, and the lights will blow out. This has happened before; There are many things that meet the needs and fail to do a good job. There are no ancient wells in the yard of chasing against time. An example is; actors will have problems, emotions can’t get in, repeated NG, Ji Tongyu is an example; even field workers will have problems. Situations, if there is nothing to do, there may be a fight, and this will happen more; there will be situations in group performances, such as that time with Lu Jin; even the boss who rented the venue will also have situations, rushing over and shouting: Hey, ah, you can’t do it Well, I can't step on the roof of my house, if I step on it, I will lose money, and reverse time hunting has also happened.

Various unexpected factors led to further delays.

Li Xianyun encountered this situation when he was in the original world. There was a shipwreck scene in the notebook he wrote, but the ship he found was not usable at all.Ren Zhi is a piece of trash who only wants to be cheap, and doesn't consider the needs of the crew at all.

We had no choice but to temporarily change the script, the shipwreck scene was gone, and the actors jumped into the river.

It was Lin Xiaoyu who jumped into the river.

It was winter at that time, and Lin Xiaoyu was terribly cold, but after landing, Lin Xiaoyu just said "actor's duty" lightly, which greatly increased Li Xianyun's affection for him.

In addition, the production crew is a temporary team, each of them is in charge of their own affairs, and no one will take care of other people's affairs. It is impossible to do it, and if it is not done well, it will be messy, so the work efficiency is actually extremely low—except for the director They may be busy all the time. Most people work sixteen hours a day and may wait for ten hours.

But Li Xianyun is fine.

Now Li Xianyun can basically solve the most time-consuming problems of the crew.

Art and setting, Ke Yaoyao can do it; smoke, both ghosts and Ke Yaoyao can do it; props, Qi Li can do it; fireworks, ghosts can do it to death; lighting, can hurt ghosts; actors’ emotions, melon farmer can do it; wind, help the wind Capable; water, several water ghosts can do it; photographers are not a big problem, both Chu Ziqiang and Xuan Dong can do it, unless it is an action drama, general literary and opera photographers don’t need so much time to prepare, just do nothing, After all, there are no big names.

In this way, things will be easy to handle!

The reason why he was exhausted this time was because he didn't dare to use it so violently.

But Li Cheng reminded him.

The idea of ​​shooting this time should not be given up because of difficulties, but should be strengthened.

If you strengthen it, you are willing to invest in it, and in turn, it will be more convenient whether it is this time or the next time!
This is a purely business model idea, only considering the return on investment ratio, it is the boss's thinking, not the director's thinking, let alone the artistic thinking, but it is very Li Cheng - after all, he is not a director, not even an insider.

Just like what Li Xianyun said to Su Haili at the beginning: I am an outsider, so I can ignore your set of "you don't know my helplessness" when thinking about problems.

Because Li Cheng is an outsider, he pointed directly at the core instead!
Of course, this does not mean that he must be right. After all, art can transcend data and break conventions.

But as a boss, the pursuit of stable output and wealth codes requires a good business model, not a genius who creates miracles.

If Li Xianyun thinks he is a super genius, then Li Cheng's business model is wrong, but if not...

Li Xianyun thought about it for a while, and felt that he was not.

He's a genius of hard work, with a little luck.

But this luck is only reflected in ghosts, not others.

He has no reason to blindly believe that if he invests [-] million yuan, he will be able to create a hit.

On this point, after following the God Killing crew and the Tongtianji crew, and discovering many of his shortcomings, Li Xianyun further let Li Xianyun see himself clearly, and he did not get complacent because of his current achievements.

He nodded and said: "You are right, it seems that I will become an eagle catching chickens in the film and television industry in the future."

"What?" Li Cheng didn't understand the stalk.

"It's nothing, it's just a description of being full." Li Xianyun smiled.

"That's right, it's a large amount of management to form Yisheng Media's film and television matrix." Li Cheng said.

Matrix!
Li Cheng got to the point again.

On the popular short video platforms nowadays, some short video creators don’t know which account of theirs will be popular, so they open a bunch of accounts. Even if each account can only attract 1 fans, thousands of accounts can have tens of millions of fans.

This is matrix play.

It is impossible for a film and television company to play like this, after all, the investment in a movie is huge.

But the business model given by Li Cheng can also be regarded as a film and television matrix in a sense.

Can you imagine that half of the movies in a country are occupied by movies produced by one company?
That will bring great reputation to Yisheng Media.

If every movie makes money, let alone.

In fact, the best model is not this, but to use the advantages of its own special effects to collect money. After all, once the special effects come out, no matter how you look at it, this film is worth the investment.

But Li Xianyun didn't want to lose money, so he could only make "a big-looking movie" and follow a routine model.

Li Xianyun thought it through thoroughly: "Okay, Lao Li, have you learned a lot about movies recently?"

"I have studied a lot of knowledge in this area recently. I want to repay you!!!" Li Cheng said meaningfully: "You don't want money, so I can only find a way to come up with an idea. Now you have figured it out? "

"Yes. Once the general direction is set, many problems will be figured out." Li Xianyun said with a smile: "By the way, in this way, I need your help with something."

"Haha, that's great. Tell me." Li Cheng was very happy to help Li Xianyun.

Li Xianyun asked: "Do you have a technology company?"

Li Cheng replied: "I can buy one."

Uh... You are a boss, you are awesome.

Li Xianyun said: "I want it tomorrow. Of course, you don't have to buy a company, just get some equipment first."

"What equipment?"

"A special printer that directly prints the required artwork and scenery, just like a 3D printer, but more convenient and convenient; a special lamp that can enhance the effect of all lamps; a psychological and emotional regulator Well, let's call it a hormone regulator, what do you think?"

Setting art, lighting and actors' emotions are the most time-consuming. As long as they are well controlled, the problem will not be a big problem.

Once the plan is figured out, there will be a solution.

What a big deal, it's a big deal to add a few more black technologies!

Yisheng Media is a high-tech company!

Li Cheng laughed: "Okay, I'll arrange it for you right now. By the way, all your equipment is a single piece, right?"

"Ah."

"Then don't use a printer, use a special spray gun. The saying is: use a program to make a drawing in advance, and print directly. How about an automatic spray gun? Connect a wire, and it looks like it can pass through the background."

"to make."

Background operation is a universal solution. Our special effects are already operated in the background. Let’s continue to improve the background!

Li Cheng continued: "Special lamps definitely won't work. To enhance the effect of all lamps...a special light film can adjust the color temperature and color difference, and then add a special power supply to enhance the luminosity and distance."

Li Xianyun agreed: "This statement is acceptable."

"The idea of ​​a hormone regulator is a bit outrageous...Let me think about it." Li Cheng is not a professional either. What's going on, Feynor?"

"Phenomone is a type of hormone. Its scientific name is also called pheromone. But on my side, it can be used for everything except love. The effect is exactly the opposite of that in the movie."

"Can't love?" Li Cheng was puzzled.

Li Xianyun was helpless: "I used it on Xinyu, and she fell in love with me because of it. You know, it's the hardest thing to endure a beauty's favor!"

Li Cheng laughed loudly: "Understood, it turns out that what you are most afraid of is love? Haha! Let's call it Phenomone patch. Make a few patches to go up and match the equipment."

Li Xianyun smiled: "That's it. By the way, I also need a central control system, which is the kind that can be fully controlled, can transmit information in real time, and process information. After all, these will be pushed to the background operation in the future. of."

"The hardware is easy to handle, but the key is the corresponding software system. This is not readily available."

"It doesn't matter, I use it anyway. It would be nice if you can upload files to me. But according to your thinking, we really need to get such a set of software in the future."

"Okay, you can spend money to design software. Oh, by the way, your ghost towns should have surveillance cameras, right?"

"Yes, take it over, it's easy to control."

"Good idea. But that thing is not clear."

"You're stupid. Take a mobile phone to turn on the video, and just point it at the director's monitor. The monitor is used to watch the crew, and the mobile phone is used to watch the content." Li Cheng laughed.

Fuck!
Let you a layman give pointers.

Li Xianyun said: "Can it be delivered tomorrow afternoon? It's awesome."

Li Cheng replied: "Xinhai Group invests 50 billion in secret research and development of brand-new filming equipment for the film crew, which is exclusively used by Yisheng Media."

"That's right." Li Xianyun laughed.

The Machinery Studio is officially out, and Black Technology belongs to Xincheng Group from today on.
