silent farm

Chapter 162
At the dinner table, Tia suddenly said, "Li, my dad and the others plan to hold a bonfire tomorrow. Do you want to participate?"

Li Sheng raised his head and asked in surprise, "What festival is this time?"

The Jilolo people have a lot of bonfire parties.Things to do before planting grain, things to do when the grain is finished, things to do when you are happy, things to do when you are unhappy, things to do before harvesting, and things to do after harvesting.I don't know what name to do it this time?

Tia said with a smile: "Didn't the crew from your country come? They want to welcome guests."

Li Sheng really forgot about it: "So they have already come! Your father and the others even did my work. That's great."

He smiled and asked, "I heard that they want your people to participate in the filming. Have they got the script?"

"Yeah. It's also translated into Portuguese. It's just a description of the scene, no lines. As long as my dad and the others say anything in their own words. It's mainly about expressions."

Li Sheng listened to her quietly before asking, "Then do you think there is any problem?"

"They sent someone to guide them. Today they asked me to do five translations to teach my dad how to stand, what kind of momentum to show, and how to move. There are many things I don't understand. But I followed their instructions. Done."

Li Sheng said with a smile: "Those people should behave themselves."

"rule?"

"It's just whether there are any hands and feet on girls."

Tia smiled and said, "No." She suddenly narrowed her eyes and said. "One of their directors asked me if I would like to make a movie."

Li Sheng was taken aback, and asked, "What did he say?"

Tia recalled for a while, and said: "He said that there is a character in the play that suits me. There are a few shots, and it doesn't take too long."

Li Sheng looked at her and asked after a long time, "Then do you like filming?"

Tia nodded and said, "It's fun. Would you be unhappy?"

Li Sheng smiled and said, "How could that be? Just be happy. But now you are going to be an interpreter for the tribe and the crew, what should you do in class?"

"I only went at noon. The principal said that I can ask for leave if necessary. Let them study by themselves!"

From what she said, Li Sheng must have arranged the time, so he didn't say anything else.He is still quite busy recently, he has to care about the python that may exist, and he also needs to pay attention to the progress of preventing rodent infestation.

Before, he didn't care much about the fact that there was a crew filming on the farm.He felt that even if he cared, he couldn't influence the other party.Even if he could let the crew take more pictures of the farm, they might all be cut out during editing.

But Tia finally decided to participate in the filming, and Li Sheng subconsciously paid more attention.

This crew called "Battle of the Gods" has a lot of people, there are hundreds of people in total.Among them, there are about a dozen actors, and these are all to appear in the shots shot here.

Li Sheng gave face, and the person in charge of the crew also expressed enough gratitude. The crew of "God of War" is not led by the director, but the producer.The producer is a middle-aged woman surnamed Chang. She has short-sighted hair and a pair of thick short-sighted glasses, which conceal her shrewdness a lot.

The farm hosted a welcome banquet for the crew.It was also a bonfire party, which meant that Li Sheng "snatched" the right to hold the welcome party for the Ji Luoluo people.Of course, it is impossible to miss the Ji Luoluo people.

Although Producer Chang was quite happy with Li Sheng's enthusiasm, he also understood that there is no such thing as a free dinner.But she was used to the wind and rain, and Li Sheng didn't mention her if he didn't mention it.

In fact, Li Sheng has been observing the members of this crew, at least he can see some superficial things.Producer Chang has a very high status in this crew.In fact, the full director is not particularly famous, so the power of the crew is basically in the hands of the regular producer.

The actors who came to the farm to shoot this time also played cards.For example, the heroine Lan Xiaoyue is said to be a rising first-line actress in China in the past two years.At least he had never heard of this actress when he was in China.Such a person either has a background or is admired.

He had heard of the leading actor when he was in China. Although he was not a newcomer, he was half black and not popular before.

The hero and heroine are of course the biggest actors in the crew, and they have a lot of assistants and other people around them.However, Li Sheng also saw that their crew did not bring the group to perform.All other actors are involved.It seems that they really intend to find workers from the farm.

Producer Chang was also observing Li Sheng, and when he noticed that he was observing the crew, he said, "Mr. Li, thank you very much for your hospitality. Also, thank you to Silent Farm for allowing us to shoot here."

"You're welcome. It's rare for a domestic movie to come to the farm. Of course I welcome it."

Producer Chang smiled reservedly, and said: "Come to Silent Farm for location shooting. In fact, the investors are also somewhat controversial. But in the end, we felt that the scenery of Silent Farm fit the script, so we decided to come. But this also brought us Some difficulties."

Li Sheng pondered for a while and said, "We will try our best to cooperate."

"That's great." Producer Chang said with a smile. "In the filming of the plot, we need some extras, of course not many. Before we also hope that farm workers can play these extra roles. Of course, we will not let them pay in vain."

Li Sheng knew she would ask this question, but he was also worried: "But they have never filmed before."

"Don't worry about this. We brought a few people here. We can shoot scenes that don't require group performances, and it will take a few days. We can arrange short-term training for them in these few days."

They came with the crew, but did not bring the extras. Li Sheng could only nod even if he didn't really want this meeting: "I will let you know and see who is interested in participating." Actually, at this time, the farm still has some Workers can spare time. "What kind of treatment do you give?"

"The daily salary of group performers in China is [-] to [-] yuan. Of course, it is RMB. But we can provide [-] yuan a day for the workers here."

Li Sheng pondered for a while, and said, "I heard that filming is very easy to get injured. Is there any insurance?"

Producer Chang blinked and said, "We can provide a short-term accident insurance, worth about 30 yuan."

Li Sheng thought for a while and said, "Then I can rest assured." In fact, [-] yuan a day is still very low for farm workers.The salary they get from the farm is at least six hundred a day.If this salary is followed, no one is willing to participate in the filming.But he also hopes that the shoot will go well, and that he can get workers paid to participate in the shoot.

"Then, on behalf of Hantang Film and Television, I would like to thank Mr. Li!" Producer Chang also heaved a sigh of relief.If Li Sheng refused to allow workers to participate in the performance, the crew would have to find extra performers outside, or even recruit people from China.That's definitely a bigger expense.Not to mention other things, the travel expenses alone are much higher than the increased salary expenses.

Li Sheng glanced at the Ji Luoluo people who were singing and dancing around the bonfire, and said: "The people of the Ji Luoluo tribe may have some difficulties during the filming process because of language barriers. I hope the crew can take more care."

Producer Chang said with a smile: "Actually, with Ms. Tia as an interpreter, our communication is quite convenient. We have also learned about their customs and taboos. I can guarantee that there will be no problems during the shooting." They have already come It has been a day since we arrived at Silent Farm, and the crew not only chose the scene, but also reversed the time difference.Of course, I have also communicated with the Ji Luoluo people.

When Li Sheng heard her mention Tia, his eyes couldn't help turning to the girl sitting in the pile of Ji Luoluo people.With a smile on his face, he turned to the regular producer and said, "I heard that Tia will also participate in the filming. Please take care of the regular producer."

Producer Chang said with a smile: "Miss Tia is very important to our crew, we still need her to take care of me!"

Li Sheng nodded, and said in a low voice: "I hope that the regular producer can restrain the staff of the crew. If there is any need, you can go to nearby Santarém or other cities, farms and surrounding villages..."

Producer Chang's face stiffened, he nodded and said, "Mr. Li, don't worry, I will warn them." Although she was a little annoyed at the meaning of Li Sheng's words, the circle was indeed chaotic.Li Sheng would raise the words secretly, but she had no way to refute.

Li Sheng didn't care what she thought. After listening to her assurance, he nodded and said, "You are from Huaxia, and so am I. And you are staying on the farm during this time. If someone does something bad, shoot Just slap your ass and leave, that's not okay."

Producer Chang understood what he was referring to, he didn't want the crew to leave trouble behind.She can only nod.

On this night, Li Sheng and the crew had some courtesy, but it ended earlier tonight because the crew will start filming tomorrow.

Because there were no farm workers and Ji Luoluo people in the first few days of the scene, Li Sheng didn't care.What he didn't expect was that there were quite a few workers who wanted to be on the screen. After the announcement that the crew needed group performances was posted, more than 60 plantation workers and workers from other departments planned to participate in the performance.But these are mostly men.Of course, the ensemble actors couldn't just be men. In the end, under the coordination of Zhang Feng, the crew also selected [-] or so female workers among the women.Among the last male workers who signed up, there were only thirty left.

A few days passed in a blink of an eye.Today is the first time Tia has a scene to film.During dinner yesterday, she told Li Sheng about this with excitement.Li Sheng intends to accompany her, but today he has other things to do.

One of the mouse traps designed by Feng Xiaoting has already been installed.He's going to see how it works.

Tia was a little disappointed when she heard that Li Sheng didn't have time to accompany her, but she still smiled and said, "You have something to do, so I don't need you to accompany me. Although I'm a little nervous, the teacher said that I'm a fast learner. There must be no problem."

In the morning, Li Sheng sent her to the set, greeted Chang and director Quan and left.
