Chapter 10: Future talents in the industry

"Sister Dahong!"

After greeting the fat proprietress who weighed 200 pounds, Rong Guang walked into the private room of Dahongju, where he also made an appointment to discuss matters.

Asking Sister Dahong for a pot of tea and a few plates of cold dishes, Rong Guang took the initiative to step forward and shake hands with a young man: "Brother Jiang."

"Photon." It was the cameraman Jiang Wei who had made an appointment. He then introduced the young man next to him, "This is my classmate Zeng Jian, who is also from the Nortel Photography Department. He is my senior. Please invite him to take the photo 2

Unit No. 1, life must be great."

"Brother Jian." Rong Guang smiled and shook hands. He couldn't help but take a look at this Zeng Jian. He was in his thirties and wearing glasses, and he looked very round and strong.

Unexpectedly, I suddenly met a future star in the industry. This person is not well-known outside the industry, but he is famous in the industry. He has won the film festival editing and camera awards respectively. He is the top editor and cameraman in the mainland.

By the way, since famous directors have their own cameramen, the career life of cameramen is particularly long. In addition, Hong Kong cameramen occupy the ecological niche of Chinese-language films, and it is extremely difficult for mainland cameramen to get ahead. And this former cameraman has a very long career.

Jian, he may be the only mainland cameraman of his generation who has reached the top, especially his use of virtual and real mirrors in "Massage", which made everyone at the time marvel at him. So he is really a great person.

But there is another piece of gossip that may be more famous. Zeng Jian is Mei Ting's second husband. Mei Ting was the only one in the 96 star class who dropped out of school and filmed. So this Zeng Jian is a sure winner in life.

In "Add a Long Lens", two cameras are needed for shooting. The first camera takes the long shot, and the second camera assists in shooting. Therefore, an auxiliary assistant cameraman is needed. Unexpectedly, Jiang Wei actually shot this

An outstanding person has been invited.

However, no matter how famous he is in the future, Rong Guang will not take it lightly. After greetings, Rong Guang took the initiative to start the test and asked Zeng Jian several questions about photography, including several super topics related to performance lighting, etc.

Comprehensive questions.

It should be said that Zeng Jian's photography foundation is indeed very solid. However, after questioning, I feel that he has too little practical experience and does not have much experience.

Rong Guang vaguely recalled that it seemed that it would not be until seven or eight years later that Zeng Jiancheng served as an editor for the first time in "The Summer Palace" directed by Lou Ye. Only then did he save the country and embark on a successful career in photography. He should be one of those late bloomers.

Kind of like that, he should still be in the leveling stage in Novice Village.

However, the filming of "Add a Long Lens" is quite simple, and Zeng Jian should still be able to do it.

So Rong Guang smiled and said: "Brother Jiang, Brother Jian, you are welcome to join. I don't have any other requirements. But the second half will use 35mm film. The pictures you want to shoot are bright and vivid, and you can even sacrifice a little bit of realism. This point

Can you do it?"

The first half of the big bad film is made of 16mm film, and the second half of the main film is made of 35mm film. There will be a strong visual contrast and it also caters to the film's reversal of the plot.

Jiang Wei and Zeng Jian nodded: "This is no problem."

At first, they inevitably still had some contempt in their hearts, and they just came here to get paid to work. But after the few questions Rong Guang asked just now, they knew that he was not an outsider, so his attitude became much more correct.

Rong Guang nodded and believed what they said. Photography education in mainland colleges and universities pays special attention to the beauty of the picture. It can even be said that this aspect is the best in the world. If you are not proficient in photography skills, you may still get confused.

Graduation. But if the pictures taken are not gorgeous or beautiful? Then you will definitely not get a diploma.

In addition, Rong Guang has also seen those waste films. There is no problem with Jiang Wei's camera. The problem actually lies in the liar director, which is the kind of inconsistent feeling that he desperately wants to shoot well, but the more he shoots, the worse he gets.

Rong Guang continued: "That's good. The filming will officially start in three days, and the filming period is tentatively scheduled for 10 days. Brother Jiang, you have three thousand, Brother Jian, you have two thousand. The permanent staff and actors of the crew and actors are one thousand, and the supporting actors are one hundred and fifty per day."

The crew will not provide accommodation. Three days later, we will gather at the entrance of Dahongju at 6 a.m. The crew will provide breakfast and lunch. You will take care of dinner yourself. The crew will give you 20 yuan as meal supplement every day. If there is an extension or there will be reshoots in the future, you two will be charged four meals per day.

One hundred, and two hundred per day for others. When we gather in three days, half of the salary will be given first, and the balance will be settled after the filming is completed. Is that okay?"

"Of course." Jiang Wei and Zeng Jian agreed. Not to mention that it was slightly higher than the market price. The crew also provided a special car and three meals a day, which was a disguised increase in the pay.

At this time, when filming film and television dramas, unless it is a big production with a big crew, many small crews still go to the set by bus or bicycle, and the meal expenses have to be deducted from the pay. It is not possible for the extras to have a lunch box.

But having said that, during this period, the monthly income of ordinary employees was only about 500. Jiang Wei and the others only had ten days of work, and they could earn half a year's income of ordinary employees.

"Okay, here are 10,000. Brother Jiang, you go to Beijing Film Studio to borrow equipment first." Rong Guang handed over a stack of money, "Don't forget to give me the list quickly. I need to make a shooting schedule. In the past few days, I

We also need to determine the location for filming.”

"Don't worry, leave it to me."

"That's good. Let's have lunch together later? Maybe the heroine will come too."

"No, Photon. There are still a few people here that I haven't contacted, and I'm going to contact them as soon as possible. If you can't contact them today, I'll find a replacement. I'll call you tonight."

"Then I'll wait for your call. See you later, Brother Jiang, Brother Jian."

"..."

During this period, many verbal agreements are more effective than legal contracts. Once credibility is lost, social death will occur immediately.

In addition, after the two sales of product placements, Rongguang made up for the special car and meal expenses. If the logistics support is better, the crew will run more smoothly. If there are stumbling blocks and the crew delays for a day, they can spend thousands more

Tens of thousands. Might as well spend these small sums.

Originally, it was because I had no money. Now that there are tens of thousands more, there is no need to save this expense.



He looked at the Marlboro advertising watch on his wrist and saw that there was still some time before get out of class ended at noon. Rong Guang grabbed a handful of oil-fried peanuts from the table, chewed them, and went outside to chat with Sister Dahong.

Back when the lower class were hanging out, Dahongju was the old stronghold of Rong Guang and his group of Northern Drifters, and it was also the off-campus cafeteria for Chinese opera students.

However, Rong Guang spent several years outside, and when he returned to the capital, Dahongju had been transferred to other people, and another hotel was opened under another name. Even Sister Dahong did not know her whereabouts.
