Chapter 706: Give money and give freedom Chen Qi looked at this group of people, inexplicably understanding their mood. When I started a business in my previous life, I was often confused and had a bit of low self-esteem. He knew what was the most comforting thing, so he said: "We won't waste time introducing it, and we will get to know each other slowly later. Let me tell you the specific work system. You have 10 days to prepare, and the shooting cycle is one month. You will be shooting while shooting." Do the post-production. A daily subsidy of HK$15 will be provided during the preparation period. If you work after 11 ., you will be charged overtime pay of HKD 5 per person. Three meals a day plus midnight snacks, and round-trip transportation. If completed on time, each person will receive a reward of HKD 500. " "How much, how much?" "To put it simply, you should get about 1,200 Hong Kong dollars in the end." Chen Qi said with a smile. Hiss! Everyone gasped, horrified.
Their average salary is 50 yuan, and they can earn 1,200 Hong Kong dollars for one trip? In an instant, everything from low self-esteem to confusion is gone! This life belongs to Boss Chen! There is light in everyone's eyes. Chen Qi is very familiar with this. This is the kind of light that bursts out when workers hear that they will receive 20 months' salary as a year-end bonus. He was also very sad. He asked for 50 people from Shanghai Film Studio, but the extra cost was only 60,000 yuan. What if in Hong Kong, you could make 50 local filmmakers work very hard for a month, and then give them a total of 60,000 yuan? That would be a riot. "Thank you Comrade Chen Qi!" "We must do a good job! We will do whatever you ask us to do!" But at this moment, they were only grateful. Of course, there are also clear-headed people who wonder: "You just said that the preparation period is 10 days, are we starting from scratch?" "Starting from 0 is an exaggeration. Let's start from 1." "Isn't this time too short?" "What's your position?" Chen Qi asked. "I'm the set decorator." "How do you usually work?" "We first need to read the script thoroughly, then have a meeting with the director to discuss it, decide what style to use, and then make some specific sets to see the effect... Anyway, it will take at least two months to complete one set." "I came from Beijing Film Studio and I understand the process." Chen Qi nodded and said: "But I don't want to discuss art or business with you. I just want to tell you my requirements and you can complete them. Comrade, how many years have you been a set designer?" "Six years." "Have you never done it independently?"
"My master will take me with him, and I will soon be able to do it alone." This person is a little embarrassed. He doesn't think it's a problem with his ability, it's just that he's young. "Okay! This time you don't need to listen to any master's instructions or discuss with any master. As long as it conforms to the script description, you can do whatever you want! You only need to be responsible for me." The next second, Chen Qi saw that the other party's face was turning red and his breathing began to quicken. Then a sudden voice came: "You keep your word, my life is on the line here!" After a brief meeting, this group of people immediately got into work mode as if they had been given a shot of blood. They were assigned to "Sweetheart" and "Unexpected", with director Mou Dundi and Zhang Jianya becoming assistant directors. Studying the script and discussing the style of the film is still the same process, but the speed is accelerated to a level that is unimaginable. They just arrived in Hong Kong today, but their fatigue has been swept away. Sometimes they have difficulty in communicating with each other through language, but they have worked hard to overcome it. Everything has reached a state where everything is full of vitality and everything is competing. A scholar dies for a confidant! If you give money and freedom, you can die twice! …It’s late at night. Zhang Jianya dragged his body back to the dormitory, took a shower, and lay on an unfamiliar bed, feeling exhausted. Photographer Liu was in the same room with him, wiping his hair and saying: "You're right? This trip is right. It's 1,200 Hong Kong dollars, and the official exchange rate is 400 yuan. You can still film..." At this point, this veteran couldn't help but shake off his towel and said: "I have been working in the factory for ten years. How is my photography skills worse than others? Isn't it just that my qualifications are inferior? In the end, I was only given half a chance. " "What do you mean half a chance?" "There was a film last year. I was the No. 2 cameraman. Halfway through the shoot, the main cameraman got sick, so he decided to put me in charge. When the guy heard the news, he ran back from the hospital and insisted on finishing the scene." "This kind of thing happens in every factory." Zhang Jianya couldn't answer the conversation, so he changed the subject and said, "You said that if we make an American film, then the actors are all Americans?" "Of course." "Then my English is not good?" 6◇9◇Book◇Bar "Just knowing how to direct is enough. Besides, you can learn on your own! After all, you graduated from college. With such a good condition, you still have to work hard?" "That's true!" Zhang Jianya suddenly thought of his wife Zhang Yu. The relationship has not broken down yet, but he couldn't help but think: If someone goes abroad and kicks him, he will work hard in Hong Kong and try to make a career. Old classmates Zhang Yimou and Zhang Junzhao are both working with Dongfang Company! … While these film workers are working hard, five films have not yet started shooting, and this year's Academy Awards have been awarded first. At the beginning of the year, Chen Qi spoke to "Film Fortnightly". Other regulations have not been changed for the time being. The scope of participation has been expanded: applications for Chinese-language films produced overseas will be accepted; applications for co-productions between mainland China and Hong Kong will be accepted; films produced solely by mainland China and screened in Hong Kong will be accepted. Sign up.
He pulled the strings, and ATV agreed to buy the broadcast rights for one session to see the effect. The money was not much, just a few hundred thousand, but for the Academy Awards in the reckless period, it was a huge sum of money. In future generations, the Academy Awards won't make any splash, and they still enjoy themselves behind closed doors. From this perspective, they have not forgotten their original intentions. Nowadays, there is a lack of large-scale venues, so this year we chose the Opera House of the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts. This is the only school in Hong Kong that cultivates performing arts talents. It not only teaches film and television performances, but also teaches opera, music, and dance. It is a comprehensive art school. The first class of students was admitted last year. Zhu Yin, Gigi Lai, Deng Ziqi, Weng Hong, Wang Zulan, etc. are all well-known alumni. The school was very supportive. There was not much space at the entrance of the opera house, so they worked hard to make some arrangements and laid out a small red carpet. It’s not quite the Avenue of Stars, I can only say it’s not that shabby. There were a lot of reporters coming, so the trains were waiting early. There are also students from the school who are in the free atmosphere group. From time to time they scream: "Ahhh! Cheng Long!" Cheng Long changed into a Tang suit and walked onto the stage while waving his hands. "Anita Mui!" "Wazai, Wazai! So handsome!" "Ah Hong, you are so beautiful!" For the first time since the first session, the left has all come together and the stars are shining brightly. Everyone attended in formal attire, waved and smiled, and walked on a short red carpet. The sense of ceremony is the most important element of the awards ceremony, which invisibly enhanced the atmosphere a lot. Chen Qi, also wearing a suit, led the actors from Dongfang Company to appear in several groups. (Finish and call it a day! This year's movie market is so bad. It's almost the Chinese New Year and it's still the same. ) (End of chapter)
