Hollywood legendary director

France’s film and television production industry and distribution cinemas and other industrial foundations are quite complete, occupying a certain position in the entire European cultural circle.

After Lehman had breakfast, he went out to look for opportunities to make money.

I went to a newsstand on a street corner and bought several newspapers. Lehman went to a secluded place again. Then he looked through the recruitment section on the buying newspaper, hoping to find the type that suits him.

His requirements are not high, as long as it is related to the film industry. As for the remuneration, if he is enough to support himself, he will choose to accept it.

With his current conditions, getting to know more people in the film industry is the king.

He thought about it, after he joined the crew and showed a certain ability, maybe someone would be willing to support him.

The road has been chosen, it depends on how to seize the opportunity.

......

After flipping through several newspapers, Lehman copied down several interesting information one by one, and made plans later. When she flipped through the last newspaper, a job advertisement that took up a lot of space appeared. In front of him, his heart moved instantly.

A newly established film began to prepare crew members, and openly recruited artists, costumes, field assistants and many other staff, and the name of this project was-"The Pianist"!

After reading the recruitment brief in detail, Lehman was convinced that this was the classic anti-war film.The Palm, the highest prize of the next Cannes Film Festival, was won by this film, and it was nominated for the best film Oscar of that year.

If he can join this crew, it would be great for him to improve his qualifications in the circle.

Think about the audience's reputation and honors that will be brought about by film releases in the future. If you are an insider, how can you not follow along.

Lehman made up his mind and immediately took a taxi to the recruitment location mentioned in the newspaper.

Only when I got there, I realized that there were a lot of people coming and going.

The competition is undoubtedly fierce.

After all, the director Roman Polanski is a veteran filmmaker who has directed a series of film masterpieces such as "Water Knife", "Chinatown", "Strange Tenants" and so on. The establishment of his new film project attracts attention. inevitable.

And like "The Pianist", an investment share with a public production cost of more than 35 million U.S. dollars will inevitably convene a large-scale crew. The staff behind the scenes will not be a small number. This is also the reason for external recruitment. Where.Brokerage companies do not have so many miscellaneous workers.

"All line up, come one by one, fill in the information first, and try to hire the corresponding position." A person who maintains order, holding a small speaker, shouted there.

Lehman heard the call and hurried to the back of the line.

He roughly estimated that there are at least a few hundred people in front of him. Such a long line is really a multitude of troops crossing the single-plank bridge.

Time passed for a long time, and finally it was Lyman's turn.

After writing his basic information at the registration counter, he received a number, 523. According to the receptionist, he had to go to Studio No. 3 for a trial appointment.

Walking into the huge studio, Lehman headed towards the target while thinking about which position he should apply for.Combining his strengths and weaknesses, he finally decided to apply for an artist on the crew.

Because he has seen the movie "The Pianist", the photography style in it is fairly familiar, which is also considered an advantage, and his compositional ability benefited from the addition of the experience of the two generations, the effect is quite good.If you draw a draft that meets the temperament of the film on the spot, it will definitely be a bonus, Lehman thought secretly.

Probably because there are relatively few people interviewing this type of job. As soon as Lehman entered Studio No. 3, he was told by the staff that he could go in for an interview. When he came in, there were many people waiting outside the hall. It.

Knocking on the door of an office lightly, and after the sound of'please come in' came from inside, Lehmann pushed the door and walked in.

There are not many people inside. There are only three. One is a middle-aged woman with short chestnut hair, the other is a fat man with a little white hair, and another is a little younger than the previous two. According to Lehman, he is The person who just said'please come in'.

"Here."

The slightly younger man pointed to the chair opposite him and motioned to Lyman to sit down.

"Thank you." Lehman responded politely.

It seems that the status of this man is clearly below the first two.

"My name is Nonne Kritz, and the crew is in charge of the art and props business." As if it were a routine business, he introduced the latter two again.

Sure enough, Lehman's guess was not wrong. The fat uncle with a little white hair was a production manager who oversaw the logistics of the studio, and the middle-aged woman was the specific person in the art department.

"Hello, Mr. Corritz. Hello, Ms. Damir. Hello, Mr. Botton." Lyman greeted them one by one very politely.

The two of them just nodded, and None-Koritz said again: "Then let's start now, let's briefly introduce yourself."

"My name is Lyman Lattes, a native of Cannes, and I directed a feature film..."

Lehman quickly recounted his carefully designed personal resume with concise sentences. The predecessor is considered to have a foundation in the film industry, and these experiences are also bonus points.

After speaking, Lehman sat quietly in the chair, waiting for the three people's decision.

"Is he lying? A director who has directing experience will come to win the position of art assistant?" The middle-aged woman couldn't help but muttered to the fat uncle.

"Just ask." The white-headed fat uncle did not easily come to a conclusion. He asked Lehman: "Can you know some information about your feature film?"

"can......"

Then, Lehman told the basic information about the film that he had shot in his memory, and from the document bag he took out the film distribution contract signed with Miramax to verify what he said. .

Lehman didn't expect these documents to be useful at this time. He was a bit grateful for his foresight. After going out, he did not forget to bring these seemingly useless things.

The three of them took the file, opened it and looked at it to make sure that Lyman hadn't lied.

"It's true." The white-headed fat uncle said softly.

After putting the file back, the middle-aged woman took a closer look at the candidate in front of her.

He is a young man with a tall and strong body. Even sitting there, there is a pressure from his height to convey.The slightly narrow face has a normal face, and the nose is slightly larger, and the facial features are not neat.Chestnut-colored short hair, completely exposed his forehead, and the hairstyle is also very bad.

As a woman, after looking around for a while, she automatically picked out many flaws in her appearance.

"So, why do you want to join the "Pianist" crew as an art assistant? You have directed a movie."

Lehman understood the meaning of the middle-aged woman’s words. He explained: “After that movie was filmed, it took a long time for the profit to be paid back. In addition, I’ve been a bit on hand recently, and joining the "The Pianist" crew allows me Learn more production experience. So, I hope I can participate in such a work."

He lied, and the movie actually lost all of it, but the three people in front of him didn't know that it should be a small advantage for himself.He continued to fight: "This is an opportunity that can benefit people a lot. I really want to join this crew and learn some experience from you successful people." The flattering words popped out of Lehman's mouth without hesitation.

Nonne-Koritz nodded lightly. If the choice of this job is in his hands, the person in front of him can join the crew.

Being polite, having working experience and knowing how to speak, is really not too much to give a chance.

Just as he was thinking about it, Ms. Damir's voice sounded beside him, "Then you are willing to accept a low salary?"

Lehman could see that the interviewer had a good impression of him. As long as he can accept the salary conditions, it is estimated that he can join the "Pianist" crew.

Damir's words continue, "The shooting time is about 4 months. You are an art assistant. The first two weeks are internships. No salary is available. Later, the salary is calculated at 300 Euros per week. The crew includes meals. Local filming is not provided. Accommodation will be provided for shooting in other places."

Lehman was anxious after hearing this. Is it such an exploitation of labor?He opened his mouth and said, "Ms. Damir, I have sufficient art experience, not a newcomer."

"I know, but the budget of the crew is tight. We only recruit art internship assistants." Ms. Damir said slowly: "Although the salary is low, the artist does not have much work to do. You have free time to go. Walk around the studio to learn more about the shooting of such a movie."

Ms. Damir’s face is good for him, which makes Lehman a bit funny. He has been in a large crew, and it’s no stranger to people with more people than this. He was also a cutscene in a previous life, and he knew too much about the production of the crew. Up.Obviously, the words used to get the opportunity to enter the crew have become his restraint.

This made Lehman say that he was here to survive in the future, but how the salary conditions allow people to live, and also work for free for the first two weeks, I think it is a pitfall.In case he is kicked out of the crew after two weeks, Lyman has not rarely seen this method in his previous life. If that is the case, it will undoubtedly make him more embarrassed.

"Ms. Damir, is there any other choice?" Lehman said again, not reconciled.

"No, the conditions of our art department are like this, maybe there are better conditions for other positions."

Hearing this, Lyman regained a little confidence.

He hurriedly bid farewell to the three, left the office, and asked about other job recruitment.

The result is a unified reply'No', and the crew is full.
