Chunhu Kang had lunch with Maiga and Ishida in the crew of " Crazy Cheater ". Maiga asked everyone to rest for another half an hour before they started work. Chunhu Kang saw that everyone did not even have an hour from eating to resting. He couldn't help but sigh at how hard it was to be a movie maker!
After finishing their meal, Mecca and Ishida greeted Kang Chunhu and closed their eyes to rest on the chairs. After about half an hour, the stage supervisor came over to tell Mecca and Ishida that it was time. Mecca stood up and picked up the communicator and shouted," Get ready. We're starting to shoot the scenes in the afternoon. Props, cameras…check everything…"
Chunhu Kang looked at Mecca's command seriously and remembered what Mecca said. At the same time, he also looked at the methods used by the people in each position to check the tools. His brain was constantly sorting out and analyzing these things, saving the useful things that he understood, and saving the things that he didn't understand for later verification.
The speed at which Chunhu Kang absorbed knowledge was like a sponge, expanding to countless times that of a man's dreams. Chunhu Kang knew that this " Crazy Cheating " was just a small scene. He still had a lot to learn. Controlling such a small scene was not his goal, but just his starting point.
Huang Baiming arrived after the first scene of the afternoon shoot. Mecca took advantage of the time to change props to tell Huang Baiming about Chunhu Kang. Huang Baiming thought about it and felt that this was very suitable for their company. Besides, Huang Baiming also wanted " Crazy Cheater " to become famous and make their company famous. Therefore, it was reasonable for Chunhu Kang to become the assistant director of the crew of " Crazy Cheater ".
Chunhu Kang was eager to learn more about movies, so he wanted to sign a contract with Struggle Film Company as soon as possible after Huang Baiming agreed. Fortunately, the three of them were also full of energy. The four of them signed the contract on the spot. Because it was not Huang Baiming's scene yet, Mecca asked Huang Baiming and Kang Chunhu to go to the bank to transfer the money.
Chunhu Kang and Huang Baiming went to the Bank of America. Chunhu Kang's money was still in US dollars, so they went to the Bank of America first to transfer his money from the US and exchange it for Hong Kong dollars. At this time, the US dollar to Hong Kong dollar was 1: 8.01, so there was a total of 790,000 Hong Kong dollars in Kang Chunhu's account. The other 10,000 had been directly converted by the small light ball. Otherwise, Kang Chunhu wouldn't have had the money to rent a house the day before yesterday...
After everything was done, Kang Chunhu and Huang Baiming returned to the set.
Because Chunhu Kang was still a rookie, Mecca didn't give him any specific work. He just let him follow him and promised to answer some of Chunhu Kang's questions in his spare time. As for what Chunhu Kang could learn and whether he would ask or not, that was not Mecca's business.
After spending the entire afternoon on the set of " Crazy Cheater," Chunhu Kang did not ask Mecca a single question. Instead, he did a lot of miscellaneous work. Because " Crazy Cheater " didn't have many night scenes and was scheduled to shoot in the middle, and because of the additional 200,000 yuan from Kang Chunhu, the shooting could be slowed down and done more meticulously. It wasn't as rushed as before.
"That's all for today.”Mecca confirmed that there was no problem with the last scene of the day and then said to everyone.
The camera he was using now did not have a playback function. He had to wait until it was developed before he could confirm the effect. As for tomorrow's shooting plan, the assistant director was in charge of informing everyone. Of course, this was referring to the other assistant director, Huang Baiming.
At this moment, Huang Baiming was a screenwriter, an actor, and a part-time assistant director. Of course, whether it was Huang Baiming or Kang Chunhu, they would not appear as assistant directors at the end of the film. Huang Baiming might be in the role list, and Kang Chunhu would probably be in the stage management list...
For the next month, Kang Chunhu spent the rest of his time on the set of " Crazy Cheater." Since Chunhu Kang left early and returned late, they had more opportunities to meet each other. The two of them would greet each other and talk about daily life. Later, when Zhao Yuanzhi found out that Chunhu Kang was an assistant director of a film crew, the topic of conversation between the two of them became some interesting things about their respective crews.
When she first found out that Chunhu Kang was the assistant director, she was very surprised, but after hearing Chunhu Kang talk about his agreement with Struggle, she immediately understood what Mecca was thinking. After all, Zhao Yuanzhi had been in this industry for almost six years.
Time passed day by day. Every day, Chunhu Kang would learn about directing from Mecca and screenwriting from Huang Baiming. At the same time, he would ask Huang Baiming some questions about directing when Mecca didn't have time. As for acting skills, he would ask Mecca, Ishida, and Huang Baiming whoever they could find.
Here, I have to introduce the three giants of the future New Arts City. Mecca studied at New York University's Film Department in 1971. Huang Baiming entered the television station in 1970. In 1976, he created the television series " Huang Feihong " and " Forced to Mount Liangshan." After that, he entered the film industry as a screenwriter and could be considered self-taught. Ishida graduated from Shao Brothers Co., Ltd.'s actor training center in 1968. He was considered a professional actor. The actor training center here was also the predecessor of the current wireless artist training class.
Other than learning from these three, Chunhu Kang also learned photography from the photographer. As for lighting, costumes, props, makeup…he didn't learn any of them. On one hand, he had limited time, and he had to prioritize learning things. Moreover, photography also included some lighting knowledge, and Chunhu Kang was not interested in other things.
As he learned more and combined the knowledge he had learned, Kang Chunhu could slowly restore the movies he had seen before into scenes. He also had a rough idea of how these scenes were shot, but of course, he was still far from fully understanding them.
Nearly a month passed in the blink of an eye. Today was the last scene of " Crazy Cheater." Kang Chunhu took off his costume and waited for Mecca to shout " cut." Then, he could end his first assistant director career.
That's right, Kang Chunhu also walked onto the camera. After all, if you didn't practice optical arts, you wouldn't be able to experience the realism. Walking onto the camera and practicing on a daily basis were two different things. Of course, Kang Chunhu was just a passerby, so he basically didn't have a chance to speak.
" Cut, it's over!" Finally, Mecca shouted, and everyone cheered.
Chunhu Kang was very satisfied with this period of time, because he had learned what he needed. Of course, many of the real things were discovered by Chunhu Kang himself and he took the initiative to ask. If you didn't discover the problem yourself, others wouldn't have the obligation to help you discover and teach you.
As for how he got along with the entire crew, Chunhu Kang couldn't help but complain,""I really don't know how the main characters in the novels I read in the past got along with everyone in the production team in just a few days. It seems that I don't have such a good personality charm!”
It was possible to be popular in the production team, but to think that you would be able to call everyone your brother in a month was impossible. To be honest, if you really thought that, you were thinking too much. It was already very good that you could get along well with everyone. In a production team, everyone had their own small circles. Even if you were a good person, it would be difficult for you to truly integrate into those who were not in your own circle.
"Tiger, I'm going to edit the film tomorrow. If you're interested, come and take a look.”Mecca took the last box of film and walked over to Chunhu Kang.
"I'm interested!" Chunhu Kang smiled. I've heard you guys talk about some editing techniques these days, but I'd better take a look at them in detail.”
Chunhu Kang was very interested in the editing of the movie. Even if the same scene was edited by a different director, the story might be completely different.
"Alright, come to Golden Princess Entertainment tomorrow and tell the front desk to look for me.”Mecca said as he touched his bald head with his left hand.
After chatting with Mecca and the others for a while, Chunhu Kang left Yonghua in a hurry because he had a date with a beautiful woman tonight!
After living as neighbors for a month, Chunhu Kang and Zhao Yuanzhi had become very familiar with each other. In the past week, Chunhu Kang would sit at Zhao Yuanzhi's place every night. Of course, Chunhu Kang and Zhao Yuanzhi weren't in love, and Zhao Yuanzhi didn't treat Chunhu Kang as an adult man.
Zhao Yuanzhi had been tutoring Kang Chunhu for the whole week. Zhao Yuanzhi's lessons were mainly about the rules and taboos of the industry, as well as some interpersonal relationships that she knew. As for acting, Zhao Yuanzhi taught very little. The two of them discussed acting. After all, Kang Chunhu had three future big stars guiding him, and the acting of TV series was different from that of movies. Zhao Yuanzhi also benefited a lot from Kang Chunhu's experience. After all, Kang Chunhu had a crazy brain, so it was easy to infer other things from one example!
