- "Yuan Hua, why don't we check the lines again first, is it convenient for you now?"
? Yuan Hua picked up his mobile phone and looked at it. It turned out that it was Wang Baoqiang who sent him a WeChat message, and immediately replied:
"Okay, are you coming or shall I go find you?"
In the next second Wang Baoqiang replied: "I'll go there right away."
Then Yuan Hua got up and went to the toilet. After washing his hands, he came out and unlocked the door, half-closed the door and waited for Wang Baoqiang to come.
This time, due to the tight schedule and heavy tasks, there was no time to laugh and laugh at all. Yuan Hua immediately went to work as soon as he landed.
Because New York has very strict time control, in order to reduce mistakes, Yuan Hua and the others can only try their best to make the preparation work as meticulous as possible.
For example, like tonight, before the shooting started, I rehearsed the lines many times overnight and became familiar with the moving movements, so as to ensure that I would not get stuck frequently or ng many times during the shooting the next day.
Therefore, the first night Yuan Hua arrived in New York, he immediately felt that this shooting was really different from the past.
Especially after chatting with Chen Sicheng just this afternoon, there was indeed a sense of urgency all the time.
After all, when filming in China, working overtime and filming night scenes is completely commonplace, and it is not uncommon to casually spend more than ten hours a day.
I have never heard of filming a movie until 5:00 p.m., and leaving get off work immediately after finishing the filming.
If the director hasn't ordered to call it a day, which one of the following will dare to take the first step?
Just as we here think that working overtime is justified, foreigners also think that leaving get off work on time is justified!
It is definitely impossible for Yuan Hua and the others to change other people's living habits, so they can only go to the countryside to adapt, try to make no mistakes and complete the work within a limited time with quality and quantity, so as to avoid the embarrassing situation of "the job is not finished and people run away" .
However, this time the dialogue between the two did not last too long. After about an hour, Wang Baoqiang left first¡ª¡ª
Mainly, Wang Baoqiang was also considerate of Yuan Hua who had just been on a plane for more than ten hours, and he had to suffer from jet lag after arriving, so he did not take up too much time of others, allowing Yuan Hua to fully rest, so that he would be able to devote himself to work tomorrow
"Good morning, how was your rest last night?"
When Yuan Hua came out, Wang Baoqiang had already finished packing and was waiting for him in the hotel lobby.
"It's okay, brother Baoqiang, have you had breakfast?"
Over the years, Yuan Hua has long been used to the life of living in no fixed place and flying around. It can even be traced back to the period when he was in the troupe.
He didn't choose a bed last night, and he didn't say anything about jet lag. Basically, he has fully adapted to this situation, both physically and psychologically. This is a good thing!
? Of course, it is inevitable to get up a little bit angry when I wake up in the morning. It took half an hour longer than usual to get up, but there is no other discomfort.
"I ate already, how about you?"
Yuan Hua nodded and said, "I ate it too, so let's go now!"
Wang Baoqiang is as good as others: "Okay, let's go!"
Then Yuan Hua and Wang Baoqiang boarded the crew's pick-up vehicle and set off for the set.
After arriving at the place and getting off the car, Yuan Hua took a special look at the equipment that was being manipulated at the scene: camera, artificial light, recording equipment, tripod, stabilizer, Smoker rabbit cage, camera slide rail
It feels similar to the domestic film studios, except that the proportion of foreigners is quite high, and the feeling is the same.
Well, why are there so many foreigners in this crew? Except for the actors, I didn't seem to see many Asian faces.
Photographers, lighting engineers, equipment engineers, set designers, props designers including odd jobs, it seems that almost all foreigners come and go.
This is completely different from the previous time when they were in "Tang Detective 1" in Thailand. Last time, most of these positions were Chinese people, so the usual filming is not much different from that in China.
"How many people did Director Chen bring with him this time? Why didn't I see a few Chinese people? I thought I went to the wrong set!"
Wang Baoqiang replied: "This time, Sicheng didn't bring many people here. Even including himself, there were only 25 people in the team."
Yuan Hua was a little surprised: "Why are there so few people?"
You must know that the last time I went to Thailand, the team was a mighty 180 people in front of and behind the scenes, and this time it was obviously greatly reduced!
There are only about twenty people in the team, which also includes his personal assistant, finance, assistant director, screenwriter, casting director, art director, cameraman, etc.??Guidancethen basically there are not many people to work in the end!
Wang Baoqiang spread his hands and said: "There is no way. The labor union stipulates that the employment of local people in foreign production teams must not be less than 30%, and the US visa is indeed not easy to handle, so naturally we can't bring so many people."
It turns out that there are still such regulations. The beautiful country really deserves to be a commercial country, and it can be regarded as playing around with the wool!
It can be seen that the United States is not really friendly to investment in foreign film and television projects. Filming here is not only expensive, but the conditions are relatively harsh.
In contrast, Southeast Asian countries, such as Thailand, have been promoting Thailand as a location for foreign film crews since 2002, and even introduced tax relief policies for the film and video industry in 2015.
The preferential policies that our domestic producers can enjoy when they come to Thailand include: 15% to 20% cash subsidy; 3% employment subsidy and 2% tourism promotion subsidy; exemption from import tariffs for film shooting and framing, and reduced fees for film shooting and cleaning film import duties, etc.
It is precisely because of these preferential policies that there are high-quality film projects such as "Thailand", "Detective Chinatown", and "Manslaughter", which coincidentally use Thailand as the main filming location. After the release, they have all promoted the development of local tourism to a certain extent.
In fact, many countries that use tourism as an important fiscal revenue have similar preferential policies, even our country is no exception.
For example, the Oriental Movie Metropolis in Qindao, in order to attract global movies to shoot, has launched a film and television subsidy of up to 40% and a tax rebate of 10%.
But obviously the United States is different. Because they have Hollywood, they have been exporting their national culture and customs to the world for so many years, and there is no need to borrow the hands of others.
Because of this, it is said that the United States has no good face for foreign film crews coming to film, not only for business affairs, but also for plucking hair.
"What are those guys doing?"
Yuan Hua noticed that there were a few foreigners in the corner who seemed a bit out of place. They neither worked nor communicated with other people, so they just watched and took a notebook to write and draw
Wang Baoqiang glanced and replied: "The one on the far left is the supervisor of the Screen Actors Union, the bearded man in the middle is a security officer, and the man in a suit on the right is an insurance company
If the scene we are shooting is dangerous, then there must be a representative of the insurance company and a security officer on the scene. In the event of an accident, the former is responsible for compensation and the latter is responsible for emergency response. "
How could there be an insurance company representative on the set? Because there is a very special thing about American union films called "Film Completion Guarantee".
Once the filming process cannot be continued due to natural disasters or accidents, the insurance company will pay.
The representative of this insurance company is to help the crew avoid shooting risks, and of course it is also a supervisor, so every time a dangerous scene is filmed, he must be present at the whole process to ensure that there are no illegal operations on the scene.
Wang Baoqiang came much earlier than Yuan Hua, and he has been helping Chen Sicheng these days, it seems that he has indeed mastered a lot of first-hand information.
Then Wang Baoqiang also talked to him about science by the way. If there are children in the filming, then people from the child protection organization must be present; similarly, if there are animals in the scene, then the animal protection organization must also be present.
As for other special shootings, the procedures are naturally more cumbersome, and there may be more organizations of all kinds on the set.
The key point is that these people of all kinds can't come in vain. They did come empty-handed, but they can't let them leave empty-handed. Among other things, at least the daily salary + meal allowance will be settled by others!
If you don't publicize these people well, then they will teach you what it means to be "difficult to deal with." They may not help you with anything, but they can definitely ruin your business
