Diamond company shoots commercials, you shoot Titanic

Chen Xiao continued to scroll down.

The road leading to Diagon Alley was shot in real scenes, but the Leaky Cauldron was filmed at the film and television base.

Diagon Alley chose to build a scene, which can also be used for real-life entertainment.

The station used real scenes.

All of these are fine.

Continuing to scroll down, we came to Hogwarts, and the shooting of Hogwarts was more complicated.

Chen Xiao scanned it and found it was similar to what they had communicated before.

There are three main methods: shooting in old buildings, self-construction, and modeling.

It’s not a big problem to take a general look.

Just when Chen Xiao wanted to take a closer look, Fang Rong asked, "The magic school has a thousand years of history, right? These buildings are not old enough, but we can’t really make the church and other buildings look old."

"Yes, use special effects to make them look old." Wang Rui took out a Blu-ray disc and looked at Chen Xiao, "Director Chen, I will go to the field with the photographer according to your requirements, and contact our Director Liu to ask the special effects artist to make the effect video. Can I play it now?"

Chen Xiao put down the file in his hand, "Play it."

Wang Rui turned on the projector. Chi Yu stood up and walked to the door to turn off the light, then pressed the curtain remote control to close the curtain.

The projection on the wall opposite Chen Xiao showed the internal staircase of a church.

The gray stone steps glowed in the sunlight. The yellow wall looked dust-free, but with some mottled traces, as if it had experienced hundreds of years of wind and frost.

Chen Xiao touched his chin, "Zoom in 120 times, the picture shows the window frame in the upper right corner."

This projection screen is about one-eighth the size of a large screen. Zooming in 120 times is actually a 15-times magnification of the large screen effect.

Under the sunlight, the stone window frame can be seen with traces of slight weathering, and there are also small cracks on the wood, and the bifurcation in the cracks is clearly visible.

Chen Xiao nodded with satisfaction and looked at the visual effects director and Wang Rui: "Very good, Director Wang, Director Liu, follow this standard."

"Okay!" The two answered in unison.

Sun Li sighed: "Wang Rui, I haven't seen you for half a year, you have made great progress."

The previous "To Live" was directed by Min Hongqian as the art director, and Wang Rui was the deputy art director. He really didn't realize that this kid had made such great progress.

He did a good job in his department and in cooperating with other departments.

Oh, when he was filming "Interstellar", he was still a hard worker, but that was why he joined the crew.

Wang Rui smiled awkwardly and raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his face, "No, no, thanks to Director Chen who has been with me, I just did what he was asked to do."

Oh! God knows how much he suffered!

Planting corn, building, transporting UFOs, and picking out details one by one, he was almost asked to go to heaven and earth.

Fang Rong patted him on the shoulder, "It's amazing that you can complete it as required."

Chen Xiao continued to flip down, confirmed a few more scenes with Wang Rui, confirmed the preparation of props, and then learned about the progress of costumes with Teacher Xu Huijun, and then looked at Chi Yu.

Chen Xiao looked at Chi Yu, "Chi Yu, I will send you the second part of "Harry Potter" this afternoon. You contact the publisher to go through the procedures, review and proofread the layout first."

"Okay."

Others were stunned.

Especially the members who joined Chen Xiao's crew for the first time were a little confused.

Didn't he go on a trip? He was working on the plane?

My God, I thought he would relax for half a year after filming "To Live", but he worked secretly for half a year!

Fortunately, this guy is his own boss and only works for himself.

If it was a colleague, wouldn't he be dead?

Sun Li was not so surprised, just get used to it.

But as a director who often shoots children's dramas, he is also half a Harry Potter fan, and he is quite curious about the content of the second part!

He opened his mouth, hesitated for a moment, and held it back. People are arranging work, ask later.

Chen Xiao continued to say to Chi Yu: "The publication time is not yet determined, wait until the movie is confirmed. The second part is planned to be released on the nearest holiday after the release of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone". If the movie can be released on January 1, you can look at the holiday arrangements of various countries, like the 2nd or 3rd."

"No problem." Chi Yu nodded and quickly wrote it down.

Minister Yu asked worriedly, "Will you not take a holiday? Will you go back to work on the 2nd?"

Fang Rong waved his hand and grinned, "January 1st is Friday. What a proud holiday, finally I don't have to take a holiday."

Sun Li asked in confusion, "You don't work either."

Fang Rong sighed, "Your sister-in-law was transferred for five weeks last year. I'm too old to remember. One day she went to work during the holiday."

At this point, Chi Yu put his hands together and looked at Chen Xiao, "Director Chen, last year's Mid-Autumn Festival was on Tuesday. Thank you so much for letting everyone take a day off on Monday. I'm so touched."

Chen Xiao looked up at Chi Yu, "Don't talk nonsense. Our company doesn't make exceptions. We just have a 10-day unhappy holiday every year. Most people choose to take a leave on that day."

The so-called unhappy leave means that as long as you are unhappy, you can take a leave, with a maximum of ten days. But there are some small restrictions to ensure the normal operation of the company, such as not being able to choose a leave half a month before or after the scheduled end date of a large project at hand. Except for special restrictions, other times will be approved.

Most people will choose to rest on days when the holidays are adjusted in a mess.

365 days a year, what difference does it make between those days?

Besides, Oriental Media is always busy with the Spring Festival and National Day, so let's take advantage of the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day when there are no movies released to let everyone have a good rest.

After all, with our status, if we want money, we can just make it. How much money can we get by exploiting our own employees?

Fang Rong also echoed: "Don't go out, just take a break. I remember that when this holiday came out, employees showed off. Netizens also joked that you are happy, but we are not. Why do you have 'unhappy leave', but we only have 'unpaid leave'?"

"Okay, let's get back to business." Chen Xiao took the topic back and looked at the casting director Sun Li.

Some time ago, Sun Li contacted the assistant casting director of New Era. They put their energy into understanding the role and actively looking for the role.

As soon as the news came out yesterday, a large number of companies and actors should have contacted Sun Li.

"Director Sun, the next one or two months are the key for you. Please keep in touch with the assistants of New Era. The key point of casting is that the actors fit the character and have good acting skills. For child actors, choose children with the same temperament and personality as the character, and it is best to play their true colors."

Sun Li nodded, "Adult actors are not a big problem. For child actors, it is impossible to select all of them from child stars, so we need to audition."

"Yes, you said it last time. Has the time been set?"

"I plan to release the audition notice through the Internet, school and other channels the day after tomorrow, which is May 22. The children will send audition videos and photos. We will conduct preliminary screening. Then, we will conduct multiple rounds of auditions for the children who pass the screening. We will try to complete it before June 20."

"Okay, it will be more difficult next time. Let me know if you need help."

"Yes, thank you Director Chen."

...

Everyone continued to discuss.

Two hours later, Chen Xiao announced the end of the meeting. Everyone packed up their materials and left one after another, and began intensive preparations.
