Chapter 385 Promotional video shooting begins
Chapter 385
"Hehehehe, one gold ingot, two gold ingots, three gold ingots..."
Jiang Qi had just walked to the door of Wang Xinghua's office when he heard Wang Xinghua's money-obsessed voice counting ingots.
"Okay, how many days have you been counting? Haven't you counted enough of the gold and silver ingots given to you? Has Yin Fei's student internship been finalized?" Jiang Qi pushed the door in and saw Wang Xinghua as expected. Put the gold ingots and silver ingots they were assigned in a row on the desk, and count them over and over happily.
"It's finalized." Wang Xinghua carefully put away the ingots, "Aren't they just a few apprentices who brought their own dry food? What's the fuss?"
"The contract has been drawn up by Lawyer He, and the troupe only accepts it. The effective internship time for each person shall not be less than 10 months. The interns will be responsible for a series of expenses such as food and accommodation during the internship. If they are unable to perform on stage due to lack of ability, Under the circumstances, the interns need to share the chores within the theater troupe like the knowledge employees. In general, all interpretation rights belong to the theater troupe, and we have all the initiative." After speaking, Wang Xinghua curled her lips and said, "It is stipulated in the contract. It’s even more ruthless than when my father bought people. After all, it costs money for my father to buy people, and he has to take care of the food after buying them.”
"It's good for us. We don't even care about food. The interns are just working for nothing."
"But they gained valuable practical experience." Jiang Qi said falsely, "We also took a lot of risks. You see, we specially opened the morning show for this group of interns. This is a gamble for the theater. Reputation."
"Come on." Wang Xinghua looked like she was pretending to be here, "It seemed like there were a few people in the afternoon show who were serious theatergoers. They were all selling tea tickets. Who doesn't know the quality of the tea tickets."
"But did you come to me just to ask about the intern?"
"Of course not." Jiang Qi raised his cell phone, "Have you and Feng Ling put your phone calls on silent? I called you two and no one answered your phone. The filming of Xuecun's promotional video will start this afternoon. Didn't you before? Are you still talking about going to be an extra? Directors, photographers and other shooting staff and equipment have all arrived. Jiang Cha, Uncle Huang, Kua Kua, Lillian and Teacher John have all passed by. John The teacher even skipped the self-study class this afternoon, why don’t you go?”
"Oh, I forgot about this!" Wang Xinghua flew up in a hurry, and landed carefully as soon as she reached the door, "No, there are too many people and it's not convenient to fly."
As soon as she finished speaking, Wang Xinghua gave her thigh a hard slap: "It's troublesome to pretend to be human. These two feet can't walk as fast as they can. Feng Ling should be practicing in the garden. Jiang Qi, go and call her. I’ll go over first, the actor still has to put on makeup!”
Jiang Qi:......
It’s as if someone agreed that you would be today’s extra…
Jiang Qi could only go to the yard to find Feng Ling, and when Feng Ling put on his thick coat, they went to the snow village together.
Shooting promotional videos naturally has to be left to a professional team.
For Jiang Qi, it is easier to leave it to a professional team with which he is completely unfamiliar than to a familiar professional team. What a coincidence is that Jiang Qi happens to know such a professional team who have decent business capabilities and are very confident about each other.
Fang Jing.
With the opening of the amusement park, the noodle-eating crowd has gradually become deserted. Huang Fugui has changed from a DM at a script shop to an HR director at an amusement park. Vegetable noodles have also changed from clearly marked prices to random drops from Wei Xian Restaurant. The employees of Fang Jing Company just have to grit their teeth and give up everything in their wallets. The happy days when you can eat vegetable noodles with money are gone forever, and the noodle-eating group originally built specifically for vegetable noodles naturally has no meaning.
Jiang Qi hasn't seen Fang Jing mistakenly send messages and notices to the noodle group for more than half a year.
Of course, Jiang Qi hadn't seen Fang Jing for a long time.
Maybe Mr. Fang, who has so many things to do and is either working overtime or on the way to work overtime every day, occasionally secretly comes to the amusement park to ride on his beloved Ferris wheel, but Fang Jing will definitely not notify Jiang Qi in advance of such a thing.
Although Jiang Qi knew that Fang Jing could probably do this kind of thing, Gong Ye dared to pat his chest and guarantee that Fang Jing must have done it. But because the cost of catching him on the spot was too high, Fang Jing would definitely not admit it as long as no one saw him. So now Jiang Qi and Fang Jing theoretically have not met since the last time they sold the amusement park.
To be honest, this promotional video shooting was not a big project. With the authentic setting of Snow Village, the budget given by the amusement park for shooting the promotional video is not particularly high. Given Fang Jing's company's rapid growth, the filming of a promotional video for a small amusement park project was not really a big project, and it was not something that required the boss to be dispatched.
But here comes the boss.
Not only the boss came, but Gong Ye, a non-staff member, also came to join in the fun. At the same time, many acquaintances of Jiang Qi also came.
To be precise, all the old employees of Jiang Qi's company are considered acquaintances of Jiang Qi. They all met during the team building.
"We will first shoot the scene of you standing at the window, looking at the snowy scene outside. Then we will give you a close-up of your face. Your eyes will look from this direction, follow the direction of my hand, and you will follow it first... …”
When Jiang Qi arrived with Feng Ling, who was wearing a big coat, the director was teaching Lillian how to find her eyes.
Because it is just a promotional video with an opening animation and is expected to last no more than 10 minutes, the shooting period was originally scheduled to be 2 to 3 days. This is the result of Jiang Qi's desire to keep improving. Generally, this kind of promotional video can be finished in one day if you are not very particular about quality.
"Teacher John, just sit at the window later, keep your current expression and drink coffee quietly." After telling Lillian, the director began to tell old John again, busy non-stop.
Feng Ling had never seen what it was like to film a movie. She kept staring at the staff and cameras who were busy in the tavern, but she only watched from a distance, not daring to step forward for fear that she might accidentally kill her. The camera is broken.
"Teacher John also wants to take pictures?" Jiang Qi found a corner to sit down and asked Wang Xinghua next to him.
Wang Xinghua nodded with jealousy: "Because Teacher John is a foreigner and his face matches Lillian's, he can play the role of a guest in the tavern."
Jiang Qi:?
The faces of these two people don't look like they are of the same race. How do they match up?
"I can do it too. I'm not a human, so why don't you let me act?!" If it wasn't inappropriate, Jiang Qi suspected that Wang Xinghua would fly up and show the director on the spot to prove that she was not a human and ask for the role.
Jiang Qi:......
In this comparison, it is more reasonable for Old John to play the guest role.
Jiang Qi looked inside the tavern and stood on the bar to install the robot. Jiang Cha turned into a costume designer and secretly used magic to fix Lillian's clothes. Shen Lirong was directing the staff outside the tavern to arrange the clothes. Gong Ye He looked very professional and worked with the camera teacher to determine the location of the camera. Fang Jing was on the phone, but Huang Fugui was the only one missing.
"Where's Uncle Huang?"
"Uncle Huang..." Before Wang Xinghua could finish her words, Jiang Qi was called over by the director.
The director in charge of the filming this time was named Zhou. He was a new director recruited by Fang Jing Company. When he joined the company, the amusement park was open. Therefore, Director Zhou, who neither knows Jiang Qi nor has eaten green cabbage noodles, regards this promotional video as an ordinary job. However, this time the client is a friend of the boss and the boss comes to supervise the work, so his work attitude is very correct. Compared with Just be more serious and responsible about other tasks.
"Boss Jiang, I just heard from the staff of your amusement park that this gnome-shaped robot is very intelligent and can participate in the filming, right?" Director Zhou asked, pointing to Kua Kua on the bar.
"That's right." Jiang Qi nodded, "His name is Kua Kua, and he is the goblin chef who traveled from the magical continent with Lillian in the background of the story. If possible, I hope that the promotional video can include scenes of Kua Kua, Usually, Kua Kua also participates in toy drama performances in our amusement park toy theater. It is very flexible and maneuverable. As long as you have requests, we will work hard to cooperate and provide corresponding actions."
Director Zhou had never seen a toy drama and didn't know what level it was. Hearing what Jiang Qi said, he wanted to try out Kua Kua's intelligence, so he said, "Boss Jiang, can we try it first?"
"I think if possible, it is still necessary to shoot some footage of Kua Kua. I will arrange for a photographer to go into the kitchen with you to see if we can take a video of pretending to cook."
"Okay, now?"
"Let's do it now. The decorations are still being arranged outside. Let's take a video of the kitchen first."
Just as Jiang Qi was about to pick up Kua Kua and go to the kitchen, Gong Ye rushed up and stopped him: "Wait a minute, someone is using the kitchen now, so we have to wait for a while to film the kitchen scenes."
"Is anyone using the kitchen?" Director Zhou was confused, "I didn't arrange any scenes in the kitchen?"
"It's not filming." Gong Ye waved his hand, "Aren't you all hungry? You, Mr. Fang, and I came all the way here and we are so hungry. Can Mr. Jiang and the others just ignore the food? Just wait a few minutes. I guess it will take a few minutes for the interview. Enough."
"Lao Zhou, don't be in a hurry to shoot. No matter how urgent and busy the work is, you have to fill your stomach first. Let's eat in front of you before continuing."
Director Zhou:?
Hungry?
Didn’t we have a meal before we came? He just took out the bread and asked the boss if he was hungry. The boss said he was not hungry.
Jiang Qi, who finally understood where Huang Fugui had gone, nodded when he heard what Gong Ye said: "Since Uncle Huang is cooking noodles inside, let's wait for a while. When the noodles are cooked, everyone will have to eat noodles. It won't take a while." We can’t start, Director Zhou, please check if there is anything wrong with Lilian and the others’ makeup.”
Director Zhou:? ? ?
Five minutes later, Huang Fugui, who was still wearing an apron, walked out of the kitchen with a smile: "The noodles are ready. If you want to eat noodles, come here quickly. Everyone has a bowl. Everyone has a bowl. It's all served and everyone can eat it while it's hot." .”
In an instant, all the people working outside seemed to have been pressed on the pause button. They all stopped what they were doing and looked towards the kitchen.
The cameraman closest to the kitchen immediately gave up debugging the machine and rushed towards the kitchen.
Gong Ye was already ready to follow.
The rest of the staff were not to be outdone. A group of people rushed to the kitchen one after another as if they had been abused by the company and worked overtime for three consecutive days without eating.
The first camera guy who came in was a smart dogleg. He brought out two bowls of noodles. One bowl was slightly larger, with more noodles and more soup. Even the eggs lying in the noodles looked better than the other bowl.
The camera boy came to Fang Jing with the larger bowl and thoughtfully handed the noodles and chopsticks to Fang Jing: "Boss, eat."
Fang Jing was not polite and smiled directly: "Eat quickly, work hard after eating, and don't cause trouble to Boss Jiang and others."
"Okay boss!" The camera boy obeyed the boss's instructions, found a seat, sat down and started eating.
The other people who had grabbed the noodles happily found their seats and started eating the noodles.
Director Zhou was dumbfounded.
"Old Zhou, why are you still standing there? Go to the kitchen and serve noodles. The vegetable noodles made by Master Huang must be the most fragrant and delicious when they are freshly cooked. They will not taste like this when they are cold. Let me tell you, when you arrive You have to eat quickly. If you eat slowly, you won't be able to get the soup if you add it later." An employee who has a good relationship with Director Zhou reminded me.
Smelling the rich aroma of noodles in the air, Director Zhou didn't quite understand what evil had suddenly taken hold of everyone, but it didn't seem like the wrong choice to go to the kitchen to get a bowl of noodles at this moment.
The boss is eating noodles, what else do I have to be afraid of?
Director Zhou quickly walked into the kitchen and picked up the last bowl of vegetable noodles on the stove.
Big bowl, half bowl of noodles and half bowl of soup, the noodles in the bowl are still steaming.
The side dishes are as simple as ever, just vegetables and eggs, but they are as satisfying as ever.
Director Zhou came out with egg noodles, placed them on the bar, and ate them standing up.
After one sip, Zhou Dao became enlightened.
He suddenly understood why his colleagues were competing for this shooting opportunity. Even those departments that had nothing to do with the shooting were strongly demanding to participate in this project.
In the second bite, Director Zhou felt the true meaning of this work.
At the third mouth, Director Zhou suddenly realized the significance of this work.
The fourth bite,...
The fifth bite...
Director Zhou was completely immersed in the bowl of noodles in front of him, taking one mouthful after another without stopping. In the end, not only did he drink all the noodle soup, he even wanted to lick it along the rim of the bowl.
Finished eating the noodles.
Everyone in the tavern who started eating at almost the same time and at different times, but almost finished eating at the same time, let out a sigh of contentment.
"Uncle Huang, please open a small stove for me and Lao Fang later and have two more bowls." Gong Ye held the empty bowl and whispered to Huang Fugui.
"No problem." Huang Fugui agreed with a smile.
Director Zhou was holding the empty noodle bowl with a disappointed look on his face.
"Old Zhou, let me tell you, you really missed the opportunity. If you wanted to eat noodles before, you could just go to Boss Jiang's script shop for about 70 yuan. Now if you want to eat noodles, you have to pay the ticket price alone. It’s more than a hundred, but you may not be able to afford it.”
"Oh, I really didn't appreciate it at the time. If I had known that it was so difficult to eat a bowl of noodles now, I would have eaten it every day, three times a day, and bankrupted myself!" Fang Jing's old employee smacked his lips in memory of the past.
Although Director Zhou has never experienced it, he has already begun to yearn for it.
"Okay, I won't tell you anymore. I'll eat this noodle too. Eaters are short-tongued and takers are soft-handed. Let's go to work!" The old employee put away the noodle bowl and started working seriously.
Director Zhou also rekindled his enthusiasm for work.
"Boss Jiang, let's go to the kitchen and check it out!" Director Zhou said enthusiastically, "If you have any other ideas or requests, feel free to mention them. I will definitely complete them for you. If conditions permit, we will shoot. If conditions are not met, we will shoot if we create conditions!" "
"Don't worry, leave everything to me!"
In fact, Jiang Qi, who didn’t have much idea:...
Should he have some ideas now?
Now it seems that if he didn't have any messy ideas, he would be a little sorry for Director Zhou, who has suddenly become enthusiastic about work.
"Then I...have some ideas?"
"Give me a panoramic view from above. It should be spectacular, beautiful, with a good angle. It's best to take a panoramic shot of radiant white."
"Okay, Boss Jiang, radiant white, right? I'm so good at this!"
Jiang Qi:......
Director Zhou, please wake up!
I'm scared, please be normal!
