Director’s Legend

() "A makeup artist, well, you can hire a senior makeup artist for 10,000 yuan. The porter has to find at least three people, and the assistant cameraman has to hire one. The woman in the mobile phone video and the two faceless kidnappers, Here are three more people. Anan, Brother Xi and the others can be recruited to be porters and kidnappers at the same time. One hundred yuan a day can be settled, and Brother Xi's wife can play the role of a woman..."

After writing and drawing on paper, after setting up all the regulations, Shao Shuaijun began to formally prepare the crew. Anan, Sishui, and Zebra were conscripted into the film crew as porters, each of whom paid a hundred dollars a day and took care of a meal. Brother Xi is the leader of the group, and was recruited into the crew as an assistant director, responsible for contacting the venue and renting equipment, three hundred a day. Brother Xi's wife, Mrs. Liu, only needs to act for one day, and it costs 150 yuan.

The makeup artist is Li Yuanyuan. He is the makeup artist for the crew of "The Prodigal Son Yanqing", which is currently being filmed in Hengdian. He is also willing to take on this private job, but the asking price is 15,000, so he can only spare time to come over to fix the makeup, and leave it to his apprentice, a little girl named Xu Hui.

Li Yuanyuan's makeup skills are very good. Shao Shuaijun agreed to the quotation of 15,000 yuan, and also paid Xu Hui a salary of 150,000 yuan a day. As for cosmetics, Li Yuanyuan is responsible for providing them.

The assistant cameraman also invited Zhao Beiyang from the crew of "The Prodigal Son Yanqing". Like Xu Hui, Zhao Beiyang is the apprentice of the official cameraman Xiaoke. Although he has no experience, he is still very skilled with the camera and the camera. The asking price is not high, 200 yuan a day, you can eat.

The props to be used in the movie, in addition to two high-definition DV cameras, there are also several imitation zippo lighters, a fake large-screen machine, a knife and a pen, a few fluorescent sticks, a few flashlights, and an iron box The wine jug cost nearly a thousand dollars in total. The camera has to be calculated separately, and the rental fee is two hundred a day. Sound receivers, lighting equipment, etc., also range from one hundred and two hundred a day.

The venue was provided by Brother Xi for free, and he also bought a cart of sand for 200 yuan. In addition to custom-made coffin props and other small equipment, more than 1,000 went out again.

Adding the approval fee, the upfront cost would be nearly 18,000. The daily salary of 950 yuan, the rental fee of 850 yuan, and the food expenses of more than 200 yuan must be paid. After Lin Lin finally figured it out, Shao Shuaijun had to guarantee that the filming would be completed within a week, so that he could take all the filming according to the budget of 50,000 yuan.

Of course, the cost of post-production should be ignored here, because Shao Shuaijun can complete the soundtrack, subtitles, dubbing, and cutting in the post-production without any cost. In this way, there will still be one hundred thousand yuan, which can be used as a public relations fee to raise the price of "Buried Alive".

Shao Shuaijun's expectation was to sell the distribution rights of the finished film to the film company and buy it out in one go. Try to exchange for several million soft sister coins, and restart the shooting of the next movie.

...

On March 28, 2004, at Liu Sanxi's home, there was a wooden coffin surrounded by sand. Lighting, sound reception, all units are ready. Li Yuanyuan had already put on Shao Shuaijun's makeup, with stubble on his face and slightly dark complexion, he looked like a middle-aged uncle.

"Anan, close the door. Sishui and Zebra remove the left side panel of the coffin." Shao Shuaijun danced for a while, got into the wooden coffin, and turned his head sideways, "Zhao Beiyang, focus the camera, Xu Hui help the microphone. Hi Brother, prepare the black cloth, turn off the lights. The first scene, start!"

The lights went out, there was darkness in front of the camera, and darkness in the coffin. Shao Shuaijun breathed heavily and quickly, and then shouted "Hello" a few times. After a while, the prepared imitation zippo lighter was lit, and with the light of the lighter, Shao Shuaijun's face jumped into the camera...

"Card!"

After a plot was over, Shao Shuaijun immediately got out of the coffin, came behind the camera, faced the monitor, and played back the scene just now. Touching his chin, Shao Shuaijun narrowed his eyes slightly.

"How is it, Ah Jun, you are really photogenic." Zhao Beiyang said with a smile.

"No, my expression was a little stiff just now, it seems that the makeup is too heavy. Xu Hui, come here and help me wipe it off a little bit, and spread it evenly, and I'll see the effect later."

"okay."

After changing the makeup, the scene of this scene became much smoother. Shao Shuaijun carefully compared it with the American version of "Buried Alive" in his mind, and felt that it was passable. Start the next shot.

There is only one scene in "Buried Alive". Although Shao Shuaijun's performance is not as good as Ryan's, he is able to cope with it with a degree of relaxation. After three days, the crew passed the running-in stage, and the progress began to speed up. Often, a scene only needs to be passed once, which made everyone amazed, calling Shao Shuaijun an acting veteran.

Indeed, he has nearly ten years more training than others, and he has watched the original scenes, but if he still can't act well, then there is a problem.

"Anan, turn down the lights a bit, Sishui, you go to the left to hold the rope, Xi Ge goes to the right to hold it, Zhao Bei'an, you push the camera up, remember, back slowly counterclockwise, focus on my face ...Okay, let's start!"

In the scene, Luo Shan sent out the video of cutting his fingers, and after making a call, he put the phone next to his head, stared at the void with absent-minded eyes, feeling more sad than heartbroken. Cooperating with the shots pushed by the upper vision, it deeply portrays Luo Shan's mood at this moment, sinking into the abyss bit by bit.

Shao Shuaijun opened his mouth slightly, the dim light of the lighter reflected half of his face, his mood was completely immersed in Luo Shan's loss. His eyes were empty, like the drunkenness when the director was changed on the spot, and the loss went deep into his bones.

"Crap! Perfect!" Thirty seconds later, Zhao Beiyang yelled...

Five days later, the last scene was filmed. This scene was the scene where sand poured in after the coffin was broken, burying the protagonist Luo Shan alive. Instead of lying down, Shao Shuaijun asked Anan to go in and lie down. He directed Sishui, Zebra and Xige to pour sand into it.

Then he personally controlled the camera, and slowly pushed it until the sand filled the coffin, and the camera suddenly went dark.

"I declare that "Buried Alive" is finished!"

"Oh woo!"

Everyone hugged and cheered each other. In five days, a movie was shot. Although it was simple and the shooting scene was boring, the excitement of the crowd was unimaginable. Because everyone is a rookie, Anan, Sishui, and Zebra were all just tricks before, dead bodies or soldiers, and they couldn't even show their faces.

Although Brother Xi is the leader of the group, he also has no chance to show his face.

This time, he also didn't show his face, but he really participated in the filming of a movie, from beginning to end, completely participating. This kind of excitement cannot be described in words.

Zhao Beiyang and Xu Hui also shouted excitedly. They are young people who belonged to apprentices in the TV series, but now they participated in a movie. It is precious and unforgettable.

Shao Shuaijun also applauded, he didn't react that much, he was still a little excited in his heart, past and present, this is the first real director's work. Looking at the camera, the last light of the flashlight went out, but his mind wandered to his previous life. If it wasn't for Dengtian Entertainment's prank, then he might be shooting his first movie.

Put your emotions away and smile.

"Alright, now that you're reborn, let's live in style and make movies in style!"
