Stars of China Entertainment

"Step by Step" was successfully completed, and Cheng Shuo felt refreshed after a good night's sleep.

After hastily finishing the closing party, he did not take much rest, but worked non-stop to prepare for the preliminary work of "The Camera Will Not Stop".

"Far Cry" won't be officially launched for another month, so he still has a lot of time.

While he was busy filming, Zhang Yuan was also working hard on preparations.

Following his previous contacts, he found many good and low-priced experts in the industry.

The film "Don't Stop the Camera" is indeed too small, so small that it cannot be divided into groups. It is more than enough for each department to have one person.

After searching for several months, he also formed a grassroots team.

It happened that Cheng Shuo was seamlessly connected, and after finding a time, Zhang Yuan brought these little brothers to meet him.

Zhang Yuan is relatively reliable in his work, and Cheng Shuo has always been at ease.

But Cheng Shuo looked at these rebellious faces at the dinner table, and for a moment he didn't know how to start the conversation.

Zhang Yuan looked at his expression and suddenly understood.

Then, as he was clinking glasses, he whispered next to him: "Young people are a little arrogant and feel that their talents are not being appreciated. I would be happy if I complimented him a little more."

Pulling back, Zhang Yuan gave Cheng Shuo a look first.

"Let me say a few words first."

He stood up and toasted with his wine glass in a distant circle, but saw that everyone was not interested in responding.

He wasn't upset, but laughed.

"Although our film is small in scale, the participants are all outstanding. Cheng Shuo and I started preparing for this film last year, and it's only now that we have gathered everyone together."

As he said this, everyone's faces showed a burst of complacency unconsciously.

The fact that these people were chosen by Zhang Yuan was definitely not a matter of talent, but of a lack of respect for their attitude.

Maybe it's because they have been neglected for a long time, which makes them feel proud of themselves.

Zhang Yuan continued: "This is lighting engineer Sun Jingliang."

As he spoke, he pointed his finger at the first person on the left.

Sun Jingliang's face is full of flesh, and he has the look that he doesn't need makeup to play a bad guy.

Do you know the brother Chen Kai in "Charlotte Troubles"?

Yes, he looks like that.

"His eyes are more precise than a machine and can accurately illuminate incredible scenes."

Zhang Yuan nodded at him and continued to introduce the next person: "This is the makeup artist Wen Dong. His makeup speed is as fast as lightning and his skill is astonishing."

Cheng Shuo nodded and smiled, his eyes moving to the third figure.

This man is tall and thick-set, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a beard. He is very rough.

The hair on the chin is very thick, but there are some signs of M-shaped baldness on the top of the head.

He was leaning on his head, eyes widened, looking at Cheng Shuo without blinking.

"This is photographer Liu Yingjian, nicknamed the two-headed chicken because he can maintain the stability of the image even when the handheld lens is moving at high speeds."

Seeing a familiar face, Cheng Shuo picked up the cup and nodded slightly.

Liu Yingjian later served as the photography director of "White Night" and was very good at lens control and light capture.

Zhang Yuan did not stop and continued to introduce: "The last person is Ke Yuan, the field manager, who has experience in dispatching a work team of 2,000 people."

Cheng Shuo took the lead in applauding, "Thank you for joining us."

Cheng Shuo's tone was very humble, and the four of them immediately softened their expressions.

To be honest, they just treat it as a job.

The investment cost of 200,000 yuan did make them refuse it for a time. Even if Cheng Shuo's name was on it, they were not very optimistic about it.

It is because they are all insiders that they know how difficult it is to achieve the success of "Crazy Stone". The Chinese language produces thousands of movies every year, and those who make a name for themselves with small and big successes can be made with one hand.

In their opinion, Cheng Shuo was really lost.

It's just that I really don't have much work to do now. In order to support my family in Hukou, I can only bite the bullet and take this order.

Taking this job doesn't mean they have no complaints in their hearts.

Cheng Shuo definitely spent more than that, but he still only spent 200,000 in an attempt to replicate the success of Stone.

Liu Yingjian was the first to say: "Cheng Shuo, first of all, I like you."

"Thanks."

Liu Yingjian changed the topic, "But this doesn't mean that I am optimistic about your film."

He spoke so straightforwardly that even others who held the same views as him couldn't help but frown.

They have all signed contracts, and face to face is inevitable in a crew, especially since this crew is really lacking in personnel.

If his grades were not good, that would be fine, but if he had a falling out with Cheng Shuo, then he would have a reason to blame them.

Once a war of words breaks out, who do you think the netizens will side with?

"well said."

Cheng Shuo did not get angry as they expected, but instead clapped and chuckled, "Liu Yingjian speaks directly, which shows that he attaches great importance to the quality of our films. This is the quality of a good cameraman."

His gaze slowly swept across the people present.

"We are all art workers, and we definitely don't want to produce some works that are embarrassing to people. Even if we all like money, there is no conflict if we have both money and fame."

When he said these words, everyone nodded unconsciously.

Cheng Shuo said slowly: "If you have any questions, you can ask them. We can talk freely today."

Everyone, look at me and I look at you. I don’t want to stand out for a moment.

Although Cheng Shuo said it well, there is no guarantee that he will put on your shoes behind your back.

However, Liu Yingjian did not hide it. Seeing that everyone was speechless, he said bluntly: "200,000 is too little. It is not enough to pay for a movie."

"200,000 is just a gimmick. If the funds are not enough, I will add more without any worries." Cheng Shuo's face has always been very gentle, as if silently calming everyone's anxiety, "I am also an artist, and I also want to

I want to produce some good works and don’t want to be poked in the bone. Besides, there are a lot of people waiting to poke me in the bone.”

Hearing what he said without reservation, everyone chuckled.

Cheng Shuo continued: "Let me talk about the significance of the number 200,000. First of all, it is definitely good for publicity. Secondly, our film will use handheld photography most of the time, mainly with long lenses."

Liu Yingjian nodded understandingly, which seemed quite round.

He has read the herbal medicine given to him by Zhang Yuan. This story is the core of the horror film, and handheld shooting will give the audience a strong sense of immersion.

The film "The Ghost Story" was a great success through handheld shooting.

"We share the venue with other crews and don't need to spend money. I found the actors myself. Not only do I not have to spend money, but I can also bring money to join the crew."

Everyone's brows widened. According to what he said, this movie is really messed up.

Seeing that they didn't ask any more questions, Cheng Shuo clapped his hands and said, "If there is no problem now, it doesn't mean there will be no problem in the future. Let's communicate more as we adjust."

Cheng Shuo stood up suddenly, "Then let's get started."

Everyone was stunned, "Start with what?"

"Power on!"

Cheng Shuo pointed at Liu Yingjian and scolded Fang Qiu.

"Don't stop the cameras!"
