my crew is not human

Chapter 221 Art Assembly Line

According to Li Xianyun's plan, Jiang Zheng directly recruited a hundred extra performers from outside.

As the bottom line of the film and television industry, group performers lived a miserable life most of the time.

One day's income is only [-] or [-] yuan, and sometimes it may not be enough to do it. It can be said that it is all supported by dreams.

Yisheng Media cannot promise them too many roles in a short period of time, but promises only 20.00%.

Same as vertical shop.

In addition, as a volunteer, you can earn hundreds of dollars a day. If you don’t have a job with the crew, you can act as a ghost town volunteer and be responsible for maintaining order.

But the official staff can no longer do group performances.

To put it bluntly, it is enough to keep the unstable factors out - in normal operations, all accidents are temporary workers.

In this way, the ghost town does not need to worry about the increase in its own costs caused by too many permanent employees in a short period of time.

The time has entered August, and Jiang Zheng has already recruited [-] group performers, and at the same time, some scenic spots that were not open to the public have also officially opened.

With the increase of scenic spots and the gradual improvement of supporting facilities, four small crews were added that month.

Unfortunately, there are still no stars.

Fortunately, at this time, the filming of the Super British series is almost done one after another.

The fastest Dong Zixin and Xu Han completed the task first, and before entering the editing room, they were dragged by Li Xianyun into the mirror world and the preparations for the comedy film.

The two read the script and chose Mirror World at the same time.

Who wants to make that shitty comedy romance.

In the end, it was Li Xianyun's assignment, but it was Dong Zixin who made the comedy.

He said directly: "You are good at love stories. The script of this film is a bit rotten, but you have the right to modify the script as the director. This time I am just trying to centralize the dispatch and try not to interfere with you."

Dong Zixin knew the truth about his "backstage control", and said with disdain: "Your crap control is useful. Two different films have different needs except for the actors to be on stage. This is an urban film, we There is no plan for the commercial area, except for the studio which can play a role, everything else has to go on location. What do you control?"

"Scene planning, resource allocation, costumes and props, the key is the new process." Li Xianyun said bluntly.

The compatibility of these two films is too low, there is really nothing to adjust, no matter how you set it up, you can’t save resources, but the workflow is still needed, the simpler the more convenient, the stage of establishing the workflow can no longer be as busy as Chaoying.

So considering the needs of the workflow, we really need such a film to find problems and set the tone.

"New process? Do you really plan to shoot like this in the future?" Dong Zixin was surprised.

Li Xianyun had already informed Dong Zixin and Xuandong about the content of the previous meeting, and they were also extremely surprised when they heard Li Xianyun and Jiang Zheng's plan.

You are trying to subvert the current filming system in the film and television industry!
"No, it's still in the testing stage. Over at Xinhai, Chairman Li is already looking for someone to design a new software for us. This software can record all content in real time...including videos and files. All the recorded content will be directly uploaded, There will be a list of all needs, used and unused. The crew will take the intensive production route in the future, and must establish a suitable shooting method for us.”

Li Xianyun's goal this time is mainly to test the background process and the cooperation of multiple crews, and the front-end actual operation has to be tested separately.

"What about the exterior scenes? Can we do straight cuts at the back end?" Dong Zixin asked.

Li Xianyun shook his head: "That's definitely not possible. The clarity will be affected, so we can only adjust it. But I have an idea, that is, the film and television base will always expand, and we can meet most of the needs after all. If we can't, at least we can Choose not to shoot, or shoot alone. Not all films have to be done together. And there is a big advantage of doing this, that is, we can really have our own technical team!"

Film and television companies can "support" artists, but rarely "support" photographers, lighting engineers and other technical jobs, and most of them are cooperative models.

The reason is that you can't provide them with work every day-artists can accept endorsement announcements, 360 days a year, [-] days a year, but technical jobs can't do it.

But if Li Xianyun activates the matrix shooting mode, his previous ambition of supporting the technical team can be realized.

Dong Zixin shook her head: "You can't make a film and television base accommodate all shooting needs."

"Small investment is fine." Li Xianyun replied.

A large investment is of course impossible. A large crew of hundreds of millions is filmed all over the world. Brother Long has to go around the world to make a movie.

But Li Xianyun doesn't need it. Unless it's financing, he will control the investment in each film he invests in no more than 5000 million, except for the ghost town attractions, then there are studios, LED screens, special effects, and finally a small part of the location.

In this case it will suffice.

Dong Zixin couldn't understand: "You are turning filmmaking into a production line, what about your artistic pursuit?"

"Of course there will be, but the premise is that you can make money." Li Xianyun smiled: "Make money first, then art!"

Dong Zixin sneered: "I believe you are evil. When did you pursue art?"

Li Xianyun was confident: "Then you still ask me this kind of question?"

Defeated by Li Xianyun's shamelessness, Dong Zixin had no choice but to ask: "What about Chaoying's clip?"

"In the future, the director should try to break away from editing as much as possible, and just give some guidance. In the future, all aspects need to be clearly divided. Follow Hollywood rules and separate shooting and editing."

In Hollywood, the final editing right belongs to the production company, and it is also the most important right.

Only big-name directors can control the editing themselves.

Dong Zixin was furious: "I want to watch my film myself!"

"If you come here in a hurry, I can ask them to wait for you." Regarding Dong Zixin, Li Xianyun still wanted to be lenient.

After Li Xianyun said that, Dong Zixin had nothing to say.

Well, anyway, this is the boss's assignment, even if the filming fails, it's not my mother's responsibility.

Having said that, Yisheng Media has never made money from high-quality goods when making movies-ah, it has never produced real high-quality goods.

Dong Zixin turned her head and left.

"That's right." Li Xianyun suddenly shouted.

"What else is there?" Dong Zixin asked.

"That... Li Feng, what do you think of him?"

"Li Feng?" Dong Zixin thought for a while and replied, "It's not bad, it looks more competitive than the average rich second generation."

"That's it?" Li Xianyun was so disappointed, Li Feng, you are a waste, ashamed of your status as a rich second generation, and even more ashamed of being the student of Li Xianyun, the invincible prodigal son of Jiangcheng!
Look for opportunities to teach you well.

Seeing his rich facial expressions, Dong Zixin was surprised and puzzled: "What do you want?"

Li Xianyun looked up to the sky and laughed: "It's okay, just ask."
