Chapter 1141 Combination (Two in One)

"Heart and Shadow Link", a 211 web drama, is a big-budget production. It was not until the day of the official grouping that Qin Jue learned that Group A, led by the chief director Kong Jun, was not often in the Beijing Film and Television Base, but was filming in a private university branch campus more than ten kilometers away.

The nanny car drove into the set, and all he saw along the way were busy people. The merger can be big or small. For the temporary workers, it is nothing more than changing places to continue working, but for those with fixed contracts, especially technical workers, the merger of Groups A and B involves too many variables, which undoubtedly needs to be carefully considered and taken seriously.

In a short distance, in addition to the hurried porters, Qin Jue also saw a lot of small groups through the car window. The people in the group were either shaking hands, or smiling humbly, or passing cigarettes and chatting. The crew was like this.

Not long after, the nanny car drove into the parking space, and the second assistant director named Li almost trotted to the door to welcome Qin Jue to get off the car.

How come you're here so early!

Deputy Director Li had a hard time. It was true that he was responsible for Qin Jue's reception, but he didn't expect the actor to be so active. Half an hour ago, he thought he had contacted the agent named Sen Ran and asked what time Qin Jue planned to arrive in the morning so that he could welcome her at a restaurant near the studio. As a result, before he could say the flattering words, he was told that "he was on the way", which caught him off guard. He hurried over to pick him up.

"Haha, good morning, Teacher Qin! You're here so early, you're really dedicated..." Deputy Director Li smiled enthusiastically.

Qin Jue smiled politely, "Good morning, sorry to bother you."

"Oh, that's all!" Deputy Director Li smiled, "Teacher Qin, have you had breakfast? Would you like something else--"

"Thank you, I had breakfast in the car." Qin Jue changed the subject, "How about you? I saw everyone was busy on the way here, it's hard work."

"Hey, hey, I've had breakfast too, Old Li. I won't hide it from you, the lunch boxes are large and full, and the nutrition is balanced."

Deputy Director Li is used to taking advantage of the situation, "Just talking about this, Teacher Qin, how about I take you to visit the set?"

Qin Jue agreed happily.

She was actually a little confused, because it was obvious that this campus was specially prepared for Luo Ling and Li Jingyu to shoot campus scenes, and her and Tang Nuo's online game roles had nothing to do with this modern setting. She didn't know whether to return to the studio of the Beijing Film and Television Base when the shooting started, or make other plans here.

"Uh, Mr. Qin, you..."

Deputy Director Li glanced at Hu Changjian who came down from the driver's seat with empty hands, and was about to say something, but he stopped talking. After meeting Qin Jue's puzzled eyes, he laughed and said, "It's okay, it's okay. If you don't mind, let's go?"

Although the sun in early October was not strong, celebrities have their own knowledge of skin care. It is unscientific to go out without an assistant holding a parasol to block ultraviolet rays.

This teacher Qin got off the car carelessly, which is really... simple.

Deputy Director Li smiled on his face and complained in his heart, and reminded him: "By the way, how do you arrange your assistant? Together or...?"

"Oh, they are still on the way." Qin Jue just realized why Deputy Director Li was hesitant, "I and the executive agent will take a look first."

"So that's the case." Deputy Director Li suddenly realized a little exaggerated, "Indeed, it's suitable for walking in the morning."

The two walked and talked, and Hu Changjian followed Qin Jue silently. Deputy Director Li was trying to please Qin Jue, and Qin Jue did not refuse his approach. He heard a lot of information from him during the chat.

Some of it was expected, such as the whole crew was busy with the merger this morning. The increase and decrease of personnel, job transfers and management issues in various departments were enough to make people feel overwhelmed, and the allocation and adjustment of funding resources were even more exhausting. According to the current progress, it might take until three or four in the afternoon to start filming.

Some were unexpected, such as Sun Guangshan, the executive director of Group A, who was originally thought to be able to follow, was sent to Group C, which was responsible for supporting roles and group performances, by the chief director Kong Jun. He was also assigned to the camera director, cameraman and some employees of the lighting group.

The props group was relatively stable. Except for a few people who were laid off for taking advantage of the situation, the rest of the team members were steadily transferred here, including the military fan prop master that Qin Jue was familiar with. They are now affiliated with the props group 2 of the "Heart Shadow Link" group.

Needless to say, the costumes and makeup were originally part of Group A. They were automatically downgraded to Group B because Luo Ling and Li Jingyu both had their own makeup teams. Now they are back with Group B and are still responsible for the two actors Qin Jue and Tang Nuo.

After a long journey, Deputy Director Li led Qin Jue through the woods next to the playground and came to a building.

"Oh? That's it." Qin Jue understood.

The decoration in front of him was obviously the villa of the Liao family in the play. It turned out that this part was not a real scene, but a studio specially built by the crew.

The first thing you see when you push the door is the spacious and bright hall. There is a signature spiral staircase not far away, but when you look up, you will find that there is no ceiling on the ceiling, but instead there are various lighting lamps. Liao Hongjing's study and Liao Jingchen's bedroom are both separate sets, set on the left and right sides of the hall, respectively, which is very convenient for shooting transitions.

At this time, cleaning figures can still be vaguely seen in the studio. Most of the scenes specially arranged by the crew are expensive, and because the facilities inside are complex and the props are sophisticated, the crew prefers to hire workers to maintain hygiene, lest the sweeping robots fail to meet the requirements. to get the cleaning effect they want.

Seeing that there were people busy inside, Qin Jue declined Assistant Director Li's invitation to "go in and have a look." The two of them walked past Liao's house, and a rather impressive studio came into view.

Qin Jue slightly raised his eyebrows: "Green curtain shed, no wonder."

To be fair, it is a good idea to use green screen cutouts and add post-production special effects in online games. In fact, the cherry blossom tree at the end of the third episode played last night was half prop and half special effects. During the filming, there was only a bare tree next to Qin Jue. The tree trunks and the fluttering cherry blossom petals were lifted down one by one by the staff standing on the folding ladder, and then blown up by the blower on the side of the field.

It's beautiful, but not completely beautiful. The rest is all up to your own imagination.

Thinking of this, Qin Jue twitched her mouth slightly in embarrassment. She kept looking at her until ten o'clock in the evening, and all the cherry blossom petals prepared by Group B were blown away. It was quite a waste. In other aspects, the lighting Leaving aside the repetitive tasks of photography, the workers responsible for scattering flower petals and taking care of the blowers also had to be replaced midway. The cleaning work between shooting and at the end of the work was also a moderate trouble.

...I can only say that fortunately the benefits are in place.

While Qin Jue was recalling it, Assistant Director Li secretly glanced at her expression. Seeing that she looked a little strange, he immediately worried that the best actor might be dissatisfied with the green screen and that he might have some objections to the crew. He explained with a complacent smile:

"That's it. The team held a meeting a few days ago. They said that the real-life architectural style in the shed was a bit old, and it was time to join the team, so they simply decided to outsource all this part to Qin Yi Technology. Qin Ke's technology is Needless to say, the texture feels better than the real thing. ”

Qin Jue came back to his senses, nodded and said: "Qin Ke's late game is indeed good and efficient."

She didn't know how much money the producers of "Heart Shadow Link" had prepared for post-production special effects. If Qinyi Technology could do all the work for them, maybe they wouldn't have to bother the staff all day long.

However, it is somewhat arrogant to think like this. Even if Qinyi Technology’s technical capabilities are there, the production of special effects still requires corresponding personnel. Compared with the manual operation of the crew, it is nothing more than a waste of mental energy and physical strength. Each has its own differences. Pros and cons.

"Yes, yes, it is Qinyi Technology after all." Assistant Director Li answered, "Teacher Qin, look over there. That is the new dressing room."

Qin Jue looked in the direction of his finger and saw a row of beautiful and elegant houses. Those who didn't know better thought they were B&Bs in tourist attractions.

"……fine."

Although it almost looks like "I have money but no place to spend it" written on the door.

Assistant Director Li had a preconception in his mind, and he would be wrong if he succeeded. He quickly smiled and said: "The place is a bit off, but it is close to the shed, and even though the house is not big, the facilities inside are all very good."

The house is not big?

Qin Jue was surprised and felt helpless: "You misunderstood, I think everything is fine."

She twitched the corner of her mouth, as if teasingly, "I was just thinking, is this a bit too extravagant?"

"Oh, where are you?" Assistant Director Li saw that she still had the heart to "joke", and immediately smiled and said, "Don't the production of film and television dramas all depend on actors and teachers like you, the absolute heavyweight core staff! Good treatment It should be, it should be.”

The familiar tiredness spread quietly, Qin Jue smiled and stopped talking.

There is no problem in giving the creative team the treatment and benefits they deserve, but this feeling of being an actor is the ultimate master. Sure enough, she still doesn't get used to it.

Qin Jue followed Assistant Director Li into the dressing room with a normal expression. As expected, the room had a familiar layout, with fresh flowers and fruit plates, and a refrigerator and incubator. It looked like a five-star resort hotel.

The phone vibrated, and Assistant Director Li said hello apologetically: "I'm sorry, Teacher Qin, please rest first while I go out to take a call."

"You're busy." Qin Jue was polite to him, and used his eyes to signal Hu Changchai to send Zhang Ming and others their location, so that they could familiarize themselves with the route first.

After a long while, Assistant Director Li left and came back, smiling first:

"Look at my memory. I was so happy talking just now that I forgot to mention that today at noon, Director Kong invited everyone to have dinner at the nearby 'Shili Piaoxiang' restaurant. Teacher Qin, look..."

"Thank you. I'll go directly by myself then." Qin Jue took up the topic.

"Okay." Assistant Director Li said with a smile after completing the task, "Unfortunately, I still have something to do here, so..."

"You are busy. This early morning has taken up a lot of your time." Qin Jue responded politely, "See you later."

"Hey, it's my duty to talk about it and it won't be delayed. I'll see you later, Teacher Qin."

The exchange of pleasantries finally came to an end. After watching Assistant Director Li disappear around the corner, Qin Jue slowly calmed down his expression and raised his hand to rub his forehead.

She felt like that fake smiling boy meme.

Unnecessary acting skills were added.

"Team Qin, Zhang Ming and the others are on their way." Hu Changchai reported.

"Yeah." Qin Jue nodded, "We have changed to a new environment. Let them be more careful about what they say and do. I don't know what the social circle here is like."

A crew is equivalent to a small society. After the merger, the executive director of Group B, Sun Guangshan, and the camera director were transferred one after another. Without these people, Qin Jue had fewer people to communicate with directly. It can be said that he knew nothing about the shooting environment here. Both the power structure and interpersonal relationships had to be rebuilt.

"Understood." Hu Changqie responded, and then said, "The information about the chief director Kong Jun has been sorted out."

"Speak." Qin Jue, who was sitting in front of the dressing table, straightened his upper body.

She had just asked Deputy Director Li about similar information, but it was a pity that the second deputy director was obviously not in the core of the creative team of "Heart and Shadow Link". He had no idea about Kong Jun's personal temperament, his ideas about drama, and his shooting style. His answers throughout the process were very vague, which was of no help to Qin Jue in filming.

Hu Changqie first mentioned several works directed by Kong Jun. Qin Jue listened and felt that this director was a bit like Jiang Shuming in the TV drama industry. He was particularly good at the theme of pure love for youth. I don't think there is any need to worry about his strength.

However, unlike Jiang Shuming, Kong Jun is a standard "half-marionette" commercial idol drama director. He is well versed in the popular market and is good at grasping the proportion of the roles. To put it bluntly, he is the director who follows the instructions of the investors and actors. The high blood pressure scene in the first episode of Li Jingyu was written by him.

Someone once commented on Kong Jun: "He obviously has the ability to be the top one in the small fresh style, but he has to give the audience some shit from time to time."

You say he is not strong, he is really good at shooting things. You say he is great, but some of his flaws are really rubbish.

He is a classic commercial director who wants both reputation and money.

Qin Jue sighed silently.

"... I have to change my mind." She folded her arms, and her index fingertip tapped her arm from time to time.

In Group B, Sun Guangshan would still adopt Qin Jue's opinions for the time being. Even if he had complaints, he could drag the entire crew to let Qin Jue and Tang Nuo repeatedly polish the play, but now that he has changed to the general group, the situation is different from the past. It will be much more difficult for Qin Jue to intervene.

Apart from other things, she gave benefits to the whole crew and "blackmailed" everyone to work overtime. This kind of thing would definitely not work in the general group.

Because according to the unwritten rules, this is a provocation to the "status of the actors in the crew", which will make others feel that Qin Jue is stretching too far and has a tendency to surpass the male lead Luo Ling.

Although Qin Jue really didn't mean that, her original intention was just to shoot this scene well.

"It's difficult."

Qin Jue said faintly.

Is it really necessary to "show off your status"? But wouldn't this fall into the usual class routine of this circle?

While thinking absentmindedly, Qin Jue keenly caught a series of footsteps.

There were many people, the footsteps were heavy, and they were very unfamiliar. They were not Zhang Ming and Song Zhihan, but there was no malice.

"Ahem, excuse me...!|ω｀)"

The door of the dressing room was carefully pushed open, and a furry head poked in.

Qin Jue raised his eyes and blinked.

Luo Ling?
