Making movies and TV series is a very tedious thing.

It's not as easy as the tidbits seem, but it's repeated over and over again, and often possible in extreme environments.

You must be patient, from planning scripts in the early stage to editing in the later stage, it is very tough.

After editing a lot of materials, you need to communicate with the post very patiently what you want, and then modify it over and over again.

So, many directors have a very bad temper.

There is no way, they are all forced!

Think about it, you have clearly emphasized that this prop must be plush, and then the props master made you with a leather one, and said why is this cheap...

Some people really deserve to be scolded!

Most directors are good at swearing, especially directors who climb up step by step from the bottom. They do not repetitively say they swear!

Of course, Bai Xiaofei is a director who climbed up from the bottom. He started out as an assistant director, that is, a field worker, and then got involved in photography step by step, and then became an executive director.

When he is in the crew, the director usually scolds him, and then he scolds the people below...

A great director is not only an all-round film artist, but also a philosopher, thinker and film innovator. This talent and experience cannot be obtained by ordinary people through cultivation, just look up to it;

An excellent director is a skilled film craftsman who is good at using film methods to tell stories. This story is not great, but at least it is complete and solid;

A competent director is a film worker with advanced skills. They have basic director qualities and their works are not necessarily great or stunning, but the completion of the works is acceptable and there will be no fatal flaws.

In fact, the profession of director is quite that kind of thing. It is obviously a very professional and very important basic skills, but it was once misunderstood as a profession that anyone can do.

There is a very vivid picture that can roughly distinguish the division of labor of crew members.

The recording engineer is the audio recording site. All he needs to do is to maintain the order of the scene so that there will be no noises to be collected into the audio track;

The main job of lighting and photography guidance is to scold the streets;

Props and scenery were scolded;

The main job of live editing is to be dazed;

Assistant director, physical identification expert!

Director, I want to die every minute...

Very conventional crew routine.

Being a director is not only a mentally consuming thing, but also a physical strength!

If the construction period is not very rush, start work at 8 o'clock every day and get off work at 6 o'clock;

Of course, with the current turmoil in the film and television industry, crews that do not rush to meet the construction period basically do not exist!

Although our quality is not as good as Hollywood, our speed is definitely several times that of Hollywood.

The cycle of a movie is usually 60 days, and the TV series is three months...

Catching the United States and surpassing the United Kingdom is a matter of minutes!

How bold a person is, how rich is the land!

...

Back to Xihong City, the crew preparations officially started.

The preparation stage of film and television dramas is very important. Just like building a house to lay a solid foundation, you must consider all aspects in advance. Otherwise, if the filming officially starts, there will definitely be a lot of things that you can't think of!

The Hollywood film cycle is generally a U-shaped structure, and the preparation period still accounts for more than half of the time. The real shooting time is pitifully small. In this regard, the domestic situation is much worse. Except for a very small number of large directors’ royal teams who use this approach, most of the straw teams are excited to start working. When they really start shooting, they find that there are many situations!

The co-producer of "Brothers of Waste" is Dong Jian's Sanle Film and Television Investment. The reason for working with him is not only because of the good relationship between the two, but more importantly, Sanle Film and Television has professional shooting equipment!

Sanle Film and Television will participate in investment through equipment rental...

The main photographer Xiaojiu and props Lin Xiaopeng entered the crew in batches, put on makeup, lighting and sets, and then followed Bai Xiaofei to enter the crew for preparation.

As a sitcom, "The Waste Brothers" does not require much scheduling, but just renovated the rented office and added a lot of tools that suit the office.

After three days, I was almost busy.

Bai Xiaofei clapped his hands: "Okay, we will officially start filming the day after tomorrow. I want to say that this is my first work, and I am very grateful... Forget it, it's useless to say so much empty words. Let's do this. When our work is sold for money, I will take out 10% of the profit as a bonus!"

I originally wanted to sigh a few words, but the words came to my mouth and swallowed them...

What dreams are meaningless!

Who has time to listen to you popularize chicken soup?

Most crew members just treat the crew as a workplace. It is natural for them to give money to them when they work...

"Long live the director!"

Dad is not as good as RMB!

Whoever gives money will live!

Bai Xiaofei signaled everyone to quiet: "...Of course, I'm ugly in front of me. My crew doesn't welcome those who are scattered. If anyone with this kind of thought, you can get out now!"

"Also, daily shooting is coordinated by the assistant director. If you have any questions, you can ask me to react privately."

"By the way, our drama only has a forty-day schedule. If there is a mistake in any link, I can't spare you!"

...

Hotpot restaurant.

"Hey, I have no chance of "Old Cannon". The producer told my agent that I am too low-famous!"

Zhang Shan was a little depressed.

He was happily accepted for two rounds of auditions, and the teacher in charge of the audition, including the director, was optimistic about him.

It's useless, the producer rubbed him down with just one word...

"Come on, I'll give you your phone, turn the pixels to the most normal, and take a selfie!"

Bai Xiaofei handed over the phone.

"…What's the meaning?"

"Let you recognize yourself!"

"...You are ugly!"

Zhang Shan finally reacted easily and immediately became furious and cursed.

“…I didn’t say you’re ugly,”

Bai Xiaofei had enough time to swallow a large piece of mutton hotpot, and then said, "I just said you are not very handsome!"

"…that's better than you, is anyone looking for you to film?"

Zhang Shan wanted to find a sense of existence on Bai Xiaofei: "Brother isn't you bragging about it. A few days ago, my agent told me that Director Zhang wanted to find me to make a guest appearance in a drama. I pushed it for our "Baby Brothers"!"

"...Can you want some shame? Director Zhang, why don't you say Cameron wants to find you to film "Avatar 2"?"

"I just exaggerated it. In fact, there was a director who asked me to make a movie, but I didn't go!"

"…Your choice is right. Follow me, I promise to make you famous all over China within three years, win the Palme d'Oscars in five years, and win the Oscars in ten years!"

Bai Xiaofei still maintained a slow posture, chewing food in his mouth...

"...Xiaobai, your skills have increased!"

Zhang Shan couldn't help but exclaim.

"What skill?"

"You are bragging now, without blinking your eyes. You are so shameless. How did you do it?"
