The classroom suddenly fell silent. Then, there was a burst of enthusiastic cheers.
"Teacher Su, 666!"
"You can join the team during the summer break of your freshman year. Haha, our teacher is awesome.”
"I must go!"
"I'll call home in a while and tell them that I'm staying in Beijing for a summer job this summer!”
"I'm so lucky to have such a good internship opportunity.”
"Teacher Su, I want to get on the role!"
" Hey, hey, fair competition. You're not allowed to use unspoken rules against Teacher Su…"
"I announce that our Su Family Army is established!”
The students were all excited.
Each of their youthful faces was filled with excitement.
After all.
This was 1997. Strictly speaking, the entertainment industry had not even taken shape yet.
Entertainment companies, talent shows, IDOL, variety shows, etc., which people in the future were familiar with, did not exist in this era.
Every student in the class was a future star among hundreds or even thousands of art examinees.
However, in the summer of 1997, they were still fresh eggs that had just finished their freshman year.
It was extremely rare for someone like Huang Xiaoyan to be lucky enough to get a role in a co-production film like Great Qing.
Otherwise…
It wouldn't make Huang Xiaoyan so arrogant that she wouldn't come to class…
Naturally, Huang Xiaoyan was not around.
Being able to participate in the filming and on-site work of a TV series in their first year of university, even if they could not compete for the role, it was still an extremely rare opportunity for these first-year students to participate in the filming of a TV series and the operation of the crew.
Moreover, he had to be careful.
This was his teacher's production team!
They were all on the same side.
One had to know that even in the class of 96 acting stars, only one-third of the students stayed in the film and television industry to become stars.
More students.
After graduation, they would either change careers or struggle at the bottom, but they would never become famous...
In the end, most of the students in the class had signed up. Only a few of them really had to go home. They could only regretfully miss this opportunity.
However, they never dreamed that they would miss out on something…
Many years later.
These students were no longer in the entertainment industry. When they were occasionally interviewed by the media, they were filled with endless regret.
"I was too young at that time and didn't understand how precious this opportunity was. If I could travel back to 1997, I would definitely tell Teacher Su…Teacher, I want to act!”
"I was really too insensible at that time. I was just thinking about where to go during the summer vacation. Sigh, who knows…"
"Once, I was only one step away from success! But I gave it up. Later on, I realized that it was the most important opportunity of my life!”
They looked back at the past.
Only then did he realize.
It turned out that in the summer of 1997, when Ian brought 'My Own Swordsman' into the class of '96, it was a crucial watershed in many people's lives.
Those who didn't seize the opportunity to join the Su Family's Army were mercilessly abandoned by the times…
……
In the suburbs of Beijing.
In the studio of the film studio, a few antique buildings were built.
Hmm…
Alright then.
Actually, there was only one building, and that was Tongfu Inn.
In addition to the two walls at the entrance of the inn, it formed the visual illusion of two small alleys.
What you saw on the television was a complete building and alley.
But actually…
Walking around the wall of the alley, he saw an empty studio outside.
This was the charm of fiction.
As a sitcom, all of the stories in My Own Swordsman were basically set in an inn.
It was amazing, and it was just a small passageway at the door.
It could be said.
They had reduced the cost of filming to the minimum.
Even so.
For the entire day, the entire production team spent as much as 500 yuan on food!
One had to know.
Ian's total budget for filming 'My Own Swordsman' was only 200,000 yuan!
According to the usual two months of filming, just eating alone would cost 30,000 yuan…
But how much was 500 yuan a day?
Not much at all.
Even though " My Own Swordsman " was a sitcom and the production team was not large, the entire production team had more than a hundred people.
Director team: 5 people.
Director Ian, one on-site assistant director, one executive director, and two director assistants.
The photography team consisted of six people.
There were a total of two cameras, two machines, and three photographers and three photography assistants.
Lighting team: 4 people.
They were responsible for the lighting at the scene.
Production team: 10 people.
Ian was also the producer. There were two people in charge, one on-site producer, two lifestyle producers, one finance officer, and four chefs. The chef was hired to save money. It was cheaper and more cost-effective for the crew to cook by themselves than to order a box lunch directly.
12 people in the script supervisor team.
All kinds of chores on the scene were the script supervisor's work. If each team needed something, the script supervisor had to help. For example, they had to move props and set up the scene to change the scene. Turning the camera meant clearing half of the filming location. When transporting the rails, they had to lay the rails and so on…
Make-up team: 4 people.
There were few actors and scenes in a melodrama, so four makeup artists were enough. Two of them were at the scene, and the other two were at home.
Clothing group: 4 people.
It was the same. There were two people at the scene and two at home. They were responsible for the costumes of the entire cast.
Wait, wait, wait.
In addition to the recording team, the car service team, the art team...
Even though Ian had already simplified the production team of "My Own Martial Arts Legend" to the extreme and he himself had multiple roles, there were still 70 to 80 staff members in the entire production team.
In addition to the cast.
In every episode of " My Own Swordsman," the main characters such as Manager Tong, Bai Zhantang, Guo Furong, Scholar Lu, Big Mouth Li, Mo Xiaobei, Zhu Wushuang, and Little Liuzi were basically all present.
In addition, there were three to four secondary characters in each episode.
With the actors and their assistants, there would be at least ten to twenty members of the cast at the scene every time.
With this addition.
In other words, even a small production team like " My Own Martial Arts Legend ", which had been compressed to the limit, had about 100 people in daily filming.
According to the price of 5 yuan per person per day, that would be 500 yuan per day…
He wouldn't be able to save a single cent!
Fortunately, this was 1997. A person's daily meal was only 5 yuan. Moreover, there were no celebrities in the production team. The biggest boss was Ian. Everyone ate from the same big pot.
That was how he managed to limit his daily food expenses to 500 yuan.
If this was 20 years later?
A regular production crew's daily food expenses alone would be about 10,000 yuan!
Whether it was filming a movie or a TV series, there was only one word…
Burn money!
As for the Class of 96 celebrity class that Ian had brought along, most of them had been thrown into the various professional groups in the production team as free labor.
He praised his name.
Cough cough, training!
Ian couldn't be blamed for this.
After all, there were only a few characters in " My Own Swordsman ", and many of them were not roles that students could play.
Therefore, young people should train from the bottom up…
