Chapter 188 "People are on the way, Thailand is embarrassing"!
Each episode is filmed by an episode director based on the established episode theme to find characters that match the theme.
When each episode theme is established, the episode director needs to go through 3 stages before the filming will be carried out.
The first stage is the ‘copywriting’ stage, which means that the director reads a large number of books on the topic, investigates, and writes plans.
The second stage is the ‘research’ stage, which determines what foods to be photographed in the episode.
Finally, we go to various places for shooting based on individual food, and look for suitable characters in the shooting area to express the food, and shoot the characters that carry the food in this area.
The entire film crew includes 4 early researchers, 1 chief director, 1 deputy director, 7 episode directors, 2 chief consultants, 15 photographers, 3 editors, logistics staff, and 89 behind-the-scenes staff.
I am about to travel to more than 70 shooting locations across the country.
This is a big project. As the chief director Chen Dong and the deputy director Shen Jiaxing are responsible for keeping the chief executive and remote command.
October 25.
The creation team of "China on the Bite of the Tongue" has been prepared for the logistics and behind-the-scenes staff.
Researchers, episode directors, photographers, logistics staff, and behind-the-scenes staff began to rush to all parts of the country according to the episode theme established by Chen Dong to conduct intense shooting.
Chen Dong took some time to exchange "Lost in Thailand, Lost in Thailand" on his brain and made some modifications. For example, Wang Bao in the movie is "Bingbing popsicle", and he told everyone that Fan Binbin is his girlfriend, in this time and space. There is no star Fan Binbin, so he changed this paragraph in the script to Wang Bao is a fan of Chen Ying. At that time, it would be OK to let Chen Ying make a guest appearance, and he modified several omissions, and then registered with the Movie Copyright Association.
After registering, it means that the copyright of the movie "Lost in Thailand, Lost in Thailand" belongs to you. No one is allowed to counterfeit it, otherwise it will not be reviewed and filmed without review and is also facing huge fines.
This time, he plans to be the director himself.
Chen Dong had long wanted to be a director and had made a lot of preparations.
He spent more than a year using his spare time to make up for the basics related to the director.
In the previous filming of "Crazy Stone" and "Journey to the West: The Demons", Chen Dong and Wang Sen learned directorial skills, experience, and their grasp of the character's mentality and personality. Not to mention, they learned 100%, but at least 80%.
There is also the movie "Lost in Thailand, Lost in Thailand", which Chen Dong likes very much. He has watched it at least 4 times in the original time and space, and has also joined "Lost in Thailand". He also discussed with the fans of "Lost in Thailand" the mentality, personality, acting skills of the three main characters in the movie, Xu Lang, Wang Bao, and Gao Bo, and remembered clearly many details in the movie.
It can be said that every detail in the entire movie of "Lost in Thailand, Lost in Thailand" is in Chen Dong's mind, and every character in the film knows the personality and mentality of each character in the film.
I believe I can grasp this movie well.
In addition, with an associate director with a shooting experience and rich skills, it was foolproof.
After making a decision, I started to take action and the Spring Festival "Lost in Thailand" will be released.
However, before shooting, you must first set up a film company.
In this way, if you have your own film company, you can save a lot of trouble in the production and distribution process.
If you want to maximize the profits of each movie you invest in in the future, you must have your own film company to have greater voice in the film and television industry.
A few days later, a film company called "Starlight" was established.
General Manager: Chen Dong.
Deputy General Manager: Li Rixin.
Li Rixin is an executive poached from a major American film company through a headhunting company with a high salary.
As a Chinese, Li Rixin has excellent abilities in a major American film company and can be said to be able to gain a foothold in a senior administrator step by step.
Indeed, Chen Dong confirmed this after reading Li Rixin's resume. Li Rixin has good performance and is also famous in the circle. He is familiar with and proficient in the operation and management of film companies. Li Rixin's vision is very accurate and can pick out countless scripts that can make money and bring benefits to the company.
Chen Dong poached him with a high salary and was responsible for the company's management and operation. Of course, now, there are only two people in the entire company, the general manager, Chen Dong, and the deputy general manager. His first job is to prepare for various departments of the company and recruit company personnel.
Under the deputy general manager, there are various departments, such as the Administration Department, Marketing Department, Planning Department, Pre-production Team, Post-production Team, Financial Accounting Department, etc., which all need to be prepared, formed, and recharged by staff.
Of course, these can be done step by step.
The most important thing about the company's establishment is to film "Lost in Thailand, Lost in Thailand".
The investment of this movie is 4,000,000 yuan, and the investment budget is 10 million more than the original time and space. The more part is mainly used in shooting, making the movie and the original version more sophisticated and more perfect.
The script of "Lost in Thailand, Lost in Thailand" has been prepared.
Director: Chen Dong.
2 assistant directors.
A filming assistant director assists the director in completing the artistic creation and shooting of the film.
There is also an associate casting director who assists the director in selecting actors.
The casting assistant director contacted Li Bin, who worked with Chen Dong in "Journey to the West: The Demon Summit". At that time, as the casting assistant director in "Journey to the West: The Demon Summit", he was able to choose the role or supporting role that Chen Dong needed very well, quickly and appropriately, and his abilities were beyond doubt.
This time, Chen Dong, the casting assistant director of "Lost in Thailand, Lost in Thailand", chose to work with Li Bin again.
As the filming director, Wu Chunyi was chosen.
Wu Chunyi, like Wang Sen, is academic and has a very solid directorial knowledge base.
Moreover, I have been filming more than ten years of filming, with rich director experience and skills.
Wu Chunyi not only has a very solid directorial knowledge base, rich directing experience and skills, but also has many movies that have won awards. Many people born in the 1970s and 1980s grew up watching his movies.
Chen Dong chose him as the candidate for the filming director.
The three starring actors in the play, Xu Lang, Wang Bao, and Gao Bo, were selected as the protagonist, Gao Bo, who was played by Guo Shi, who played Hei Pi in "Crazy Stone". Chen Dong felt that Hei Pi in "Crazy Stone" and Gao Bo were carved from the same mold in "Lost in Thailand, Lost in Thailand".
Although black skin in "Crazy Stone" is simple + rough and silly, in the original "Lost in Thailand, Lost in Thailand", he is wearing "spy black", black clothes, black pants, black frame glasses, and his face always has a look of contempt and flatness, but whether it is black skin or Gao Bo, there is a characteristic from the inside out, that is "black humor!" (To be continued...)
Chapter completed!
