Chapter 76 Sister Qing, do you want to make a movie?
In the large and spacious conference room, there is a long conference table. Rong Guang and Ning Xueqing are sitting face to face, staring at each other. They are holding the first preparatory meeting for "Iron Tiger Chase".
"..."
"I'm talking about Guangzi, I have participated in so many meetings since I was a child, and I have never been like this today. I don't know how to describe it, I just feel uncomfortable all over." Ning Xueqing turned the pen in her hand and complained with a smile, "We
Can you two not be so formal? Come here, here are snacks. Let’s chat while eating. The raisins were just sent by my comrade in arms."
Rong Guang also felt that the atmosphere was a bit awkward. This scene? It didn't feel like a meeting at all, but more like...a blind date?
Bah! Get out of here! It’s too evil, it’s such a beast! I will never admit that I have such an idea! If you destroy a military marriage, you will be killed!
"Then let's chat while eating." Rong Guang relaxed and threw a piece of preserved fruit into his mouth, "Sister Qing, you should understand, right? The current situation is lacking in almost everything. You can first tell me your personal suggestions and give them to me.
An inspiration, where should we start?”
"Of course we need people. If it's just the two of us, we'll definitely accomplish nothing! At the very least, we need someone to applaud in this meeting, right?"
"Sister Qing, wait a minute." Rong Guang interrupted quickly because the half-joking words just now did give him some inspiration.
Before his rebirth, Rong Guang was already a veteran who had been around for more than 20 years and already had a certain status in the entertainment industry. In addition, the film and television industry had already matured, with various professional companies and a complete range of professional talents.
It can be said that with just one phone call, the crew can be saved in one day. Of course, money is also absolutely indispensable.
However, the situation now is very bad.
Here in Beipiao on the ground floor, Rong Guangtou is quite familiar, and there will be no shortage of handymen and extras. But as for the management of the crew, he is helpless.
I simply don’t know if there are such talents; even if I know, I don’t know how to contact them; even if I contact them, they will basically be rejected.
This is the shortcoming of Ye Luzi's background. Including the glory of his previous life, during this period, he was also the low-level Ye Luzi of the mixed crew. He had no contact with the crew management at all. Therefore, those experiences in his previous life cannot bring him any benefit.
What help is coming.
On the contrary, it is quite easy for the direct descendants of the three major art schools, or the second generation of stars. They really can't find a solution. In the end, they just have to find their parents. And those talents will basically give them face.
In this case, Rong Guang made a decision: Anyway, there are too many talents lacking in various positions, and even if he finds one or two, it will not make any difference. Then he will simply create a new team of people and train them himself.
So a new question arises - if you want to train yourself, you can't open a Lanxiang technical school, right?
Those newcomers are easy to find. There are a lot of graduates from Nortel and China Drama from Beipiao. But it’s not possible, there are still so many current students. They all have basic skills, and some have internship experience in the production crew.
But to train them all into experienced veterans? If you don’t have a few years to work, and you don’t have to work with nearly ten film crews, that’s absolutely impossible.
So what should we do?
If people are not good enough, then management will do it!
Speaking of the crew management of large-scale productions, it will be gradually improved through each blockbuster in the future. A relatively mature crew management system has also been formed. In other words, in this management system, except for the main creator, everyone else is just a part.
It can be replaced at will and will not hinder the operation of the crew.
However, the situation now is completely different.
Basically, it is a workshop-style management. For example, a Chinese opera girl came to a grass-stage crew and found that a "Note" was issued in advance, and transportation and hot meals were provided during the filming. She actually thought it was quite formal?
Of course, there were some big productions in this era, such as the "Armageddon" series of movies. But their management was that of a state-owned studio. Even the crew members were employees of state-owned factories. That was an iron rice bowl.
Temporary recruitment is completely different. And the management is still very backward, basically relying on the crowd tactics.
Thinking of this, Rong Guang had an idea. He asked Ning Xueqing: "Sister Qing, is there a consulting company that provides modern management services?"
Since you can't do it yourself, you can definitely find foreign aid. You are not afraid of spending money, but you are most afraid of not finding a place to spend money!
Although Rong Guang didn't have much hope that in this "primitive society", he would find such a highly professional consulting company. But treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor could only ask Ning Xueqing. If it doesn't work, then what else?
You can go to a professor of economics and management at a university in Beijing.
"Yes!" Ning Xueqing answered simply, which surprised Rong Guang.
"Ah? Really?"
"Really." Ning Xueqing said with a smile, "There are several consulting companies like this out there. They make money in a bad way. Nowadays, those companies are like taking the wrong medicine, rushing to give them money, aren't they all busy passing the exam?
ISO9000?”
"oh?"
Rong Guang recalled it and found that he did have such a memory. In the past few years, domestic enterprises have been undergoing ISO9000 certification. No matter how much formalism there is, objectively speaking, modern management systems have indeed been fully popularized.
Even the management system of domestic film crews in the future will also draw lessons from the ISO9000 quality management system in many aspects.
"Sister Qing, that's great. Do you have their contact information?"
"Then wait a moment. I'll call my classmate."
"..."
A big problem has been solved for the time being. Then we need to consider how to shoot.
It's still too risky to blindly mount the horse, why not...make an experimental short film?
Thinking of this, his face suddenly brightened.
If you make an experimental short film by yourself, all the crew members will be new people, the camera crew will all be new people, and you will find a few passers-by who have no acting skills.
Under such extreme conditions, if you can shoot and achieve first- and second-level action movie effects, then you will have a certain degree of confidence in shooting "Iron Tiger Chase".
And it also has the following benefits:
Save money! If the experimental short film fails, the project will be terminated immediately. Although it may cost hundreds of thousands more, at least there is a stop loss point. After all, it is 5 million soft girl coins!
Can audition! Give all newcomers a chance to audition. They are either mules or horses, take them out for a walk!
You can get used to it in advance! When auditioning new people, it’s also a process of getting used to the cast.
As for the issue of renting or purchasing equipment? For the time being, we will use handheld photography. However, the lens effect is not as good, but it can better test the ability of new camera operators. Anyway, it doesn’t matter, it is an experimental short film that will not be released.
Rong Guang couldn't help but laugh in his heart: "Mmp! Brother Guang, I actually made another experimental short film just for the sake of an experimental film? How boring is this?"
And the selection of actors requires a lot of thought. It's best if you don't even have the slightest acting foundation, not even someone like Sister Dahong.
Just as he was thinking of this, he saw Ning Xueqing walking in. His face brightened, and he immediately showed a warm smile, which made Ning Xueqing confused: "Guangzi, don't scare me. What's the matter?"
"Sister Qing, do you want to make a movie?"
Chapter completed!
