Director’s Legend

0009 【Crew staff gathered】

() There are four steps in the production of a film, preliminary preparation, mid-term shooting, post-production and final release. The preliminary preparation is further divided into steps such as script, review, project planning, art design and shooting. The script and sub-shots of Shao Shuaijun have been confirmed, and the shooting permit is still being approved. The rest is project planning and art design.

In terms of art design, an art team needs to be formed, and Zhao Cheng is responsible for the preparation of the art team. The chief artist invited by the art group is Zhang Xiaobing from Huayi. Zhang Xiaobing has his own studio. After receiving Zhao Cheng's invitation, he brought his own team. Including the assistant artist Li Ya-ning, art assistant branch secretary, costume director Zuo Shi, modeling designer Yang Yang, costume assistant Wang Yang, make-up assistant Yang Hong, make-up assistant Xiao Yuer, props Sun Tongshuan, Liu Liguang, Zhengping, Lao Jiu, props assistant Wang Millet, Lin Houguang, set the scene cold and righteous.

Shao Shuaijun explained the background of the movie. It was in Yuzhong County, a mountain city (representing Zhong~~~~~~qing), and the basic style is realistic. After signing the contract and paying 500,000 yuan in advance, Zhang Xiaobing took his team and set off for Shancheng City to start the preliminary art design. On the other hand, Shao Shuaijun and Zhao Chengfei went to Hengdian to find a suitable assistant director, executive director and scene director, and prepare the director team.

Ever since Hengdian was built, it has developed a great momentum. Every year, a large number of film crews come to Hengdian for filming. From the "Opium War" in 1996 to the end of last year, according to the published data, more than 200 film crews have been received, and a total of 4,000 film and television dramas have been filmed. For the remaining episodes, this year's crew has increased significantly, claiming to be China's Hollywood.

In Hengdian, the first thing Shao Shuaijun looked for was Li Kai, who would also be a talented young comedy director in the future. Li Kai initially worked as an assistant director for "Jing Ke Assassinates the King of Qin" directed by Cheng Kaige, and later worked as an assistant director for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". Since then, he has been directing TV series, and his reputation is not obvious.

And now, Li Kai has just finished co-directing the TV series "Joyful Pig Bajie" and is doing post-production in Hengdian.

One of the assistant directors of the original "Crazy Stone" is Li Kai. Li Kai has worked as an assistant director for blockbuster films and also directed TV dramas himself. He can help Shao Shuaijun support the director team very well. Shao Shuaijun, who was born as an assistant director, knows best how comfortable it is to have a good assistant director in the director team.

As long as the director has an idea, all the work can be handed over to the assistant director for execution.

After receiving a call from Zhao Cheng and reading the script, Li Kai joined the crew without hesitation.

"Director Shao, this script is absolutely amazing. It has a strong Guy Ritchie style and incorporates localized elements. I never imagined that Director Shao could write such a script at such a young age. I am very honored to be able to join the crew." Li Kai There is a circle of mustache, which looks very happy.

"Director Li has seen big scenes before, so he happened to help me steer the helm."

"Don't dare to be at the helm, play the second hand, play the second hand."

With Li Kai, the true nature of the original film would not be lost. Afterwards, Shao Shuaijun contacted two other people. One is called Wang Yixue, who also serves as the assistant director, and the other is called Sloppy, who serves as the scene recorder. Both Wang Yixue and Ma Hu were acquaintances of Shao Shuaijun's later generations. They got the status of assistant directors by virtue of their talents, but they were never qualified as directors.

Now the two of them are still doing chores while filming TV dramas. When they heard that a film crew was looking for them, they signed the contract without saying a word.

In this way, the director, executive director, assistant director, and scene notes of the director group are all available. At the moment, everyone took care of their personal affairs and flew to the mountain city together to discuss various projects for filming with the art team. Shao Shuaijun called his elder sister Shao Xiaoling by the way, and rushed to the crew to take charge of the finances.

Since mid-April, Shao Shuaijun has been all over the new movie.

Selecting the scene, negotiating the lease of the venue, the selection of equipment, the description of the lens, the background research of clothing, language, and actions, etc., a series of problems came oncoming. For the authenticity of the film, first of all, through the relationship of Zhao Cheng, Wang Hongwei, an associate professor from Nortel, was invited to serve as the literary director. Professor Wang brought two apprentices to participate in the literary planning of the script.

The salary is not high, the main reason is that Professor Wang wants to take time out to hang around, eat, drink and live, one thousand yuan a day, and two hundred a day for each of the two apprentices. It took a full seven days, and the crew was responsible for paying for the three of them to travel around, which is called a field trip. Nearly 20,000 yuan was spent on this aspect alone, and the lines and scenes of the final script were well-modified.

The crew then prepares for the production team, crew management team, photography team, and recording team.

The production team is personally in charge of Shao Shuaijun, the next production director is Zhang Yu, an old filmmaker, the on-site production is Geng Hao, a directing assistant at the Meishi Film Academy of Shancheng University, and Qi Wansheng, who was recruited by Zhao Cheng, is the external producer , Zhang Chao, and Da Gang. The production producer is Wang Jingjing, who was invited from Eying. In addition, three students Zhang Ting, Wang Zhong, and He Jun were invited from the Meishi Film Academy of Shancheng University to serve as production assistants.

Meishi Film Academy of Shancheng University is the second film academy in China besides Beijing Film Academy. Shancheng University cooperated with Hong Kong Meishi Power Group to create the School of Film and Television Arts. The famous Zhang Guoli is the dean, and the teachers are strong. With such a treasure house, Shao Shuaijun naturally wants to make good use of it.

There are only three people in the production team, the production director Jiang Zhigang, a part-time assistant to the director, and a lecturer of drama at Meishi Academy. Drama director Ma Ning and Wu Zhiqiang are his students.

The photography team is also under the coordination of Shao Shuaijun. The photographer is Shi Sheng, the assistant photographer is Ge Wanhan, the stills and documentary artist is Zhang Teng, and the photography assistant is Ma Meng. The lighting engineer is Wang Chunzhi, and the lighting assistants are Chen Yonghao, Zhu Jianzhong, Zhu Yanlin, and Dong Xilai.

In the recording group, the sound engineer is Wang Yanwei, and the recording assistants are Gao Guodong, Xu Yuan, and Qi Jun.

Most of these people were invited from the Meishi Academy, and some were recruited from the local theater troupe. The salary is not high, but the skills are very good. There are still some fighting scenes in the movie. I have already contacted the local Haoxiang Film and Television Special Effects School. The principal Yang Haoxiang, who was a famous martial arts actor back then, led a group of students to take charge of the martial arts design. At the same time, Zhao Cheng also flew to Hong Kong, preparing to contact Luo Lixian and his Raptors stunt team.

Luo Lixian is well-known in the stunt world. He became a Taekwondo black belt champion at the age of 18. He served as the stunt director or director of blockbusters such as "Blood Fighter" and "Plan B".

When Zhao Chengfei came back a few days later, Luo Lixian did not agree to come, but the Raptors stunt team came with several heads. At the same time, there is also a big star - Lian Weijian.

Lian Weijian is an artist under ATV, and his reputation is not weak. It's just that ATV has reduced production in recent years. Lian Weijian hasn't filmed a TV series for more than a year, and he only played a few insignificant supporting roles on the big screen. Originally, he would move to the mainland in 2005 and join "Crazy Stone".

Shao Shuaijun mentioned it and asked Zhao Cheng to ask Lian Weijian if he would like to come to the mainland, but Lian Weijian agreed. This made Shao Shuaijun very happy. After all, the original version of Lian Weijian played the thief Mike is very interesting, especially the line "I'm ashamed of you", which also set off a wave of popularity.

With Lian Weijian joining, it couldn't be better.
